from here next week to revisit the
scenes OF his early boyhood days-the
upper waters OF the James river-and

his boyhood swimming holes. Refresh

well TO take up once more the duties OF
a busy old age.

Washington, ID. c.. July 23-The
negroes of this country have 40
reason to doubt the sincerely of the
protestations of regard which they
are constantly receiving from the
President. That is. they cannot
question his declaration made some
time ago of his intention to give
full representation IN the depart
ments of thus government. which rs
the most substantial evidence he can
give Of his love of the brother i'm
black.
An instance OF his affection has
just been given to-day. For years
there has teen employed as a clerk
in one of the departments man who
has always been faithful TO his work.
which he did well and to the salts
faction of his superiors. Bat ad-
vancing age and MI health have
within the past few months rendered
1T impossible for him to discharge
his duties, and il became known that
he would have to resign his position.
This fact was learned by lady who
was IN great need of work with which
TO keep the wolf from the door and
she applied for the place. She was
told by the official to whom appl ca
tion was made, through her repre-
sentative in Congress, that il was his
intention to have the daughter OF
the old employee take the civil
service examination, after which she
would be appointed To the place, so
that the old man would not be left
absolutely without support IN his old
age.
