did not make votes. They convinced |
many people that Mr.. Bayard was
grsat man and they showed that In his
aspirations and professions he was a
good man. This gave him reputation
which reached it's height i'm 1854, when
he was Grover Cleveland's ltading COM
petitor for the Democratic presidential
nomination. In accordance with a good
many precedsm.s, President Cleveland
appointed Mr.. Bayard his secretary OF
state. In this position he won neither
popularity Nor the repute for skill and
ability I'M managing the many import
amt and delicate questions which came
before the Department of Etate. His
administration Of THE State Department
did not add To his reputation. His at
titude TO MIR. Cleveland was that of a
willing and grateful subordinate, and
his habitual tone I'M speaking OF him
YVES that of adulation. litter four
years of retirement he was not forgot
ten when Mr.. Cleveland came again
into the presidency, and though he
was not wanted again for secretary OF
state he received the acceptable post
OF minister to England.
AS minister he was solaced by his
waning popularity at home by the IA
vor of the people to whose court NE
was accredited. Ha rewarded their
complaieance by speaking everywhere
and often and generally at a length
which his indulgeut auditors some
times found tedious lie spoke too
often and sometimes very unwisely
from the American point nf view, but
he enjoyed his office and made the
most OF It's social opportunities, and
NO one will begrudge him the great
satisfaction he was able to abstract
from it,
Delaware will hcuor his memory as

took him for he was great in point OF

Letter From State Master Bowen.
 State Master s. O. Bowen of Wood stock, who is spending the winter in California, has recently sent letter to home friends from which the following interesting paragraphs are taken. MT. and Mrs. Bowen are at Pasadena.
 On Saturday the 18th ult., memorial services were holding on mountain top, near here, at the erection of a monument in memory of Owen Brown, son of John Brown of Harper's Ferry fame. It seems that soon after the tragedy of 1859, in which two of Browns sons were killed, and which resulted in the capture and subsequent hanging. of Brown, also the wounding of another son and son-in-laW, named Thompson the last two, in company with Owen, emigrated to this coast; and later, Owen and his brother Jason, betook themselves to the mountainous region of the foot hills of the Sterras, and made for themselves a rude and simple home in this secluded retreat about five miles north of Pasadena.
 Here Owen died on the 9th of Janu- ary, 1889, and was buried in accordance with his wishes, on the peak of Las Casitos, lonely spot, seldom visited by man.
 A pine tree was set to mark the spot, which was the only reminder of his memory until few friends of the fam fly made arrangements to erect a suit able granite bowler on the spot, which was done with imposing ceremonies. About two hundred and fifty people re- paid to this lonely height, and partici- pated in the exercises. Many gray haired veterans were there to give "reminiscences of the stirring times be- fore the war, and what they knew per- sonally of John Brown. A colored choir from the A. M. E. church, Pasadena, sang the "attle Hymn of the Republic Marching Through Georgia" and oth- CT songs. A co1ored orator gave his tribute of praise in memory of the lib orator who set him and his race free; and he produced a letter from his old master and owner in Mississippi. Stir ring addresses were made by Professor Lewis of Pasadena, Rev. c. T. Wilson and Rev. S. H. Taft of Santa Monica and others.
 Rev. MT. Taft was preaching at the time of John Browns death in Mar tensburg N. Y, and delivered sermon at the time of his death and character. ] had quite pleasant interview with the reverend gentleman, who has al- ways been a strong abolitionist. AL though between 70 and 80 years of age he seemed as sprightly and as much 1T, earnest as man of 50
 I have just read in the daily papers that New England has been visited by a terrible snow storm. I am writing this with my coat off and the doors and | noting summer heat. The ladies are sitting out in the orange grove.
