JOHN BROWNS BODY.
Reposes in a Grave Near Lake Placid
Among the Northern Adj
rOndacks.

Halfway between the Mohawk
river and the Canadian line, in Essex
county, N. Y, shut in by dozen
towering peaks of the Auirondacks,
are the living place and sleeping
place of "Old John Brown" The
living place i the home from which
Brown went out to fight in Kansas,
and the sleeping place is the grave
beside a giant granite bowlder-the
grave in which they laid his body aft
er the execution at Charleston, in
1859. Thirty-seven years after his
death, when the horror of his anar-
chy had been forgotten, Kate Field
and a dozen friends bought the old
Brown farm, at North Elba, and
turned it over to the state as pub
lie charge. 1t is near Lake Placid
and the other resorts of the northern
Adirondacks, says the Four-Track
News
Frequently during the summer So
iourners in want of amusement go
over to the place and rest for a few
minutes in the low-roofed two-story
house. Everyone knows the story of
John Browns repeated business fail
ures, his visions, in which a voice"
told him to free the slaves, his part
in the slavery war in Kansas, and
the attack on the arsenal at Harper's
Ferry. All these things the world
has weighed, and it has given an hon
ored place to him who was arch an
archist only so years ago.

GAVE PROVIDENCE CREDIT.
A Naval Chaplain Got an Appoint
menf Despite the Presidents
Opposition.

At recent dinner in Washington.
says a New York Mail and Express
writer, Capt. -, of the United States
navy, told the following story about
certain shallow-pated naval chaplain
who was looked upon with scant re-
spect by his brother officers. From
travelling salesman the man had turned
preacher, and, backed by influence,
came to Washington in, Mr.. Cleveland's
time to get naval chaplaincy. When
he was introduced at the white house
Mr.. Cleveland looked over him in his
grave, penetrating way and said:
"Mr. -, this is no case for favor
itism; we want man of merit and
ability for this post"
The applicant rejoined:
"Mr. President, if it is Gods will
that go into the navy, neither you
nor any one else can keep me out"
The president.eyed him for mo-
ment and then said dryly:
"Well, Mr. - Ill do my part, any
way. Good-morning."
"The cream of the joke is" said the
narrator, "that the fellow-who really
did get into the navy later-told the
story himself with all seriousness, ad-
ding: And as I left the room had a
strong conviction that it was not the
will of Providence that I should enter
the navy at that time.'" r

Most Deadly Disease.

Pneumonia (lung fever) having be-
come of late years the most dead
ly disease at all ages, general intelli-
gence in regard to its cause and what
may be done to avoid it is desirable.
The disease depends upon specific
vegetable organism, which, being at
all times present in thickly populated
districts, grows rapidly in the air
passages of the individual if his vi
tality is suddenly depressed. In
these particulars the bacillus of
pneumonia resembles that of con-
sumption, but its multiplication is
much more rapid an,.gthe poisoning
from it's excretions much more acute
The danger of pneumonia may be
lessened by keeping the air passages
clear of mucous, by avoiding chilli
and fatigue, by good ventilation and
absence from crowded and over
heated rooms.-Medical Journal.

BUILT SHIP IN THE WOODS.
Work Upon Which Retired Sea
Captain Has Been Engaged
for Thirteen Years.

The Fourth of July will witness the
launching at Quaker Neck wharf,
Chester river, Kent county, of Bay
vessel which Capt. Jedson. a retired
mariner, has been 13 years in building,
and which stands in the woods mile
and a half. Some years ago Capt. Jed
son arrived in Baltimore from deep
sea voyage. He decided to come ashore
and go to farming, settling in Kent
county. He is now II years old. He
has built the craft all by himself, with
the aid of an AK, reports the Baltimore
American.
In the eighties he went into the
woods near his home and began chop
ping out the keel and the timbers.
The keel was laid in 1881. Then he
stopped work, and the framework
was allowed to fall to pieces. In few
years the old love of the sea rekindled
Capt. Jedson's enthusiasm, and he
started again to rebuild the vessel. He
has worked on the vessel for 13 contin-
uous years, and now has craft SO feet
long and 11h feet beam Her cabin
ceiling is nine feet high, with a dining
room measuring eight by ten feet. The
vessel will be equipped with 25-horse
power engine and 4o-horse power
boiler.
Capt. Jedson proposes TO use horse
in dragging the vessel a mile and a half
out of the woods to water. The entire
time that he has spent on the craft has
been % years.
