PILLS WHEATIEY.

Phillis Wheatley was an african ne
gro and was brought from the Dark
Continent to Boston, in 1851, when
she was six years old. She was sold
in the slave market to : Mrs. John
Wheatley, wife of a merchant of that
city. Mrs Wheat1ey, pereeiving the
natural abilities of the young slave,
had her carefully educated and she
acquired a thorough knowledge OF
English and Latin. She then began
to write verses, adopting the name of
her benefactress. Her works attract
ed. considerable attention, and when
she was taken to England in 1772,
for her health, she was received with
marked esteem by persons Of high
rank in British society. Her poems
were published in London in 1773,
while she was in that city. She was
then nineteen years old. After her
return from England Phil1is married
a colored man named Peters, who
proved unworthy of her and made the
rest of her life very unhappy. She
died at Boston in great poverty in
1884, at the age OF thirty-one, leaving
three children. She treasured to the
end a letter written her by Gen.
George Washington, to whom she had
dedicated beautiful poem.

TODAY'S ANNIVERSARIES.

One hundred and fifty-two years ago
today Oct. 9, 1855, the first congress
or the American colonies converting in
ew York was deep in the discussion
OF the grave questions which several
years later led to the war for indie
.pendence. The congress had con-
Vened two days earlier and its purpose
was to consider the Stamp act. Gre
ville's obnoxious scheme of taxation.
The congress was organized by the
choice of Timothy Ruggles, of Massa-
chusetts, as chairman. Delegates
were present from Massachusetts, New
York, New Jersey, Rhode. Island,
Pennsylvania, Delaware, Connecticut
Maryland and South Carolina, among
them being several men afterward
distinguished as statesmen and pa
triots. The congress continued Sc
session for two weeks, and adopted a
Declaration Of Rights written by
John Cruger; a Petition to the King
by Robert r. Livingston, and a sMe-
mortal to Both Houses of Parliament, -
from the pen of James Otis. In all
these documents the principles which
governed the leaders of the trevolu-
ton soon afterward wer. conspicuous
The proceedings received the assent
of all the delegates excepting Timothy
Rugg1es of Massachusetts and Robert
Ogden of New Jersey, who were after
ward active loyalists.

AN ANTI-RAILROAD y,4,s f,4gS.
BILEsOF LONG AGO

Legislation for the control of rail-
roads is nothing new, although five
or ten years ago a legislator who
would propose such measures was re-
garded as a brave, progressive person
indeed. The first "anti-railroad" bill
on record was introduced in the
Rhode Island legislature as far back
as 1871 by Rowland Gibson Hazard.
a wealthy manufacturer, philanthro-
pist and writer, who was born 11e
years ago today today. At the time
Hazard proclaimed that railways
should give as we'll as receive favors,,'
and wrote a measure designed to curb
their rapacity. The new method OF
transportation was in its infancy, and
and railroad promoters were given
almost anything they asked for, such
was the eagerneSs of American com
munities to be connected with the
outside world by the steam car. Il
was Hazard who first called q halt
and inaugurated a long series Of rail-
the present day legislation which has
made the transportation companies
the servants rather than the masters,
| Of the public 1t is interesting to note
that Hazards bill, mild and conser-
| vative as it would seem now, has re-
ceived with great indignation by the
railroad officials, who asserted that
such legislation would put an end to
railway development. Despite these
pessimistic predictions, there has
| been quite a bit ,of railway develops
ment since 1S41.
