Bill. Fathers Gift, for Redemption.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.
Washington. april 29.-There are
many pathetic appeals for help in the
daily mail received at the Treasury De-
partment, but letter to-day from a
little girl brought tears to the eyes Of
the old clerk whose duty it was to open
and read it,
1t was the inquiry of a little girl
who, in the pinch of poverty, had de-
cided to spend the 81 bill her father
gave her in his days of affiuence as a
keepsake, because it was the first dol
lar he had earned as a dentist. The
child had taken the bill to a bank, and
was told ii was too old to be good.
She then remembered her father had
once told her no United States note
was ever too old to be bad, and so she
had written to the treasurer of the
United States to find out.
Her appeal was not in vain. The let
ter follows:
Dear Mr.. Treasurer: Inclosed you
will find very old 81 bill which rny
papa gave me when he died. 1t is the
first he ever made when he first went
into the dental business. He told me
to keep it until l got hard up and
needed it. Papa has been dead two
years. need IL very much now. /

was too old, but papa once told me all

ago with mama. May be you met papa
The was thirty-third degree Mason.
We had lots of money then, but papa
was sick two years, and Artie was sick
two years, and it took nearly all our
money. So now / must send this to
you to exchange for a new dollar bill,
as I need it. Poor papa would feel so
bad If he knew we were in need of
that dollar. 1t is not too old for you
TO exchange, is it? Now, good-by, frog

TOO MANY IMMIGRANTS
Were 1O1 More Than Had Been
Signed for ON Departure.

Were 1O1 More Than Had Been
Signed for ON Departure.
Newbern, n. c., May 1.-THE reve-
nue. cutter Boutwell,, Capt. sehIam, ar
rived here to-day at O'Clock with the
391 immigrants taken from the wreck
ed barkentine Vera Cruz III.
Upon arrival of the cutter at the
wharf, she was boarded and. quaran-
tined by Assistant Surgeon Primrose
of the quarantine station of the port
of Newbern. His report was that the
immigrants were in good condition,
considering the hardships they have
experienced, and that examination
showed that 80 per cent. of them had
had SMALLPOX.
The manifest of the wrecked bark
entine showed that 290 were signed
for, but when they were taken from
the wreck 1872 were found, but one died
after reaching shore. thus leaving 1O1
more than the manifest called for.
Capt. j. M. Fernandez was in charge
of the Vera Cruz, and the papers re-
ceived at the custom house here
shows that he left Bravo, Cape Verda,
April l. 1t is reported that he has
left for parts unknown, but this is not
confirmed
The immigrants are in charge of the
officers of the Boutwell, and are being
cared for at the government yards,
where they will remain until the inn
migrant inspector arrives. The story
they tell is quite pathetic. When they
left Bravo they were each allowed one
biscuit, with a little brown sugar
sprinkled on it a day, and when their
water got low they were made to put
one bucket of fresh to two buckets of
sea water for drinking purposes.
Thousands of people f1ocked down to
the yard to-day to see the strangers,
and in the afternoon they were moved
to sell some of the souvenirs that they
brought over with them.
