Free 1'lkcs in Hendricks County. p-secJal to the IndianapoUs Journal. Danville, Nov. 12. Five gravel roads were voted on yesterday by the citizens of - Center, 'Washington, Middle, Lincoln, Marion and El River townships. The names of the roads are: The Danville and North Salem, Danville and New Winches- . ter, Danville and Pittsboro, Danville and Big White Lick, and the Indianapolis and Brownsburg plank road. Four of them ?o free. ThB road that failed is tho Danville and North Salem pike, one of the best roads leading to the county-seat. It is regarded as peculiarly unfortunate that personal feeling entered into the contest in Eel River township, causing the failure to carry that road free. It is now rumored that the defeated voters in Marion townfibip will enjoin the commissioners from issuing bonds of purchase, on the ground that tha majority in that township were opposed to the purchase. If this suit should succeed thrt citizens of Center township will apply the principle to four-and-a-half miles of the North Salem road within ita boundary. Raised a Check.

SHE SAW IAFAYXTTlI,

Reminiscences of Mrs. Mary 'Aagtistin, Who Is Now Ninety-One Years of Age. Philadelphia Press. .,: ' .. It is many years since Lafayette, General of the Continental army, friend ,of Washington, and one of the many, giant figures who loom up on history's page against the red background of v. the early davs of tho French . Revolution rode- np Chestnut street, in his open barouche, and was dined andleted by the people whom he had helped niakb free; but there is at least one lady in this city who remembers that eventas well as though it happened in 1S69. instead o Sue is Mrs. Mary Angustin, widow:'of.' Peter Angustin. a celebrated Philadelphia cook aud caterer. - Niuety-one years, and still hale and hearty, with memory unimpaired; this is Mrs. Angustin as she was yesterday, when 6he talked to a Press reporter of Philadelphia's old : days. With her '"Pe08" pushed up on her forehead and with her kindly fa ce,t seamed and furrowed but little for the years that have rolled over her head, aglow with interest as she brought up reminiscence after reminiscences, the old lady chatted about Lafayette and his visit, the big dinner that was given to him. and then on about', the old assemblies when the ancestors "of those who rank highest in Philadelphia' society to day danced the cotillion in tbV old Masonic Temple. "It was in September, 1824, that Lafayette came here," said the old lady. "I don't remember the exact date, but I remember him coming very well. There was a big time here. The parade came out Chestnut street, and I stood at the corner of Fifth and sairit go by. Lafayette was in an open barouche, and so I could not seo exactly how he was dressed, but I 6a w him very plainly, -The next day there was a big dinner given to him. It was served by Mr. Kubicam, who at that time had a big hotel on Sixth street, above Chestnut. Tho hotel was torn down many years ago. ' i "The dinner took place in the old Masonic Temple, on Chestnut, above Seventh; and two hundred or three hundred people 6atdowntoit. My husband was dqwn in Washington, then, but I did some of the cooking for the dinner, such as chicken croquettes and chicken 6alad. The dinners then were served much as they are now; oysters, sonp, fish, in fact, all the courses were about the same, and the people sat as long at the table." Peter Augnstin was cook for many years to the Freuch and Spanish ministers, who, says Mrs. Augnstin, didn't live down in Washington any longer than they could help. "They would live out in tho country or " at tho 6eashoro in summer time," 6ald the old lady, "spend the fall in Philadelphia and goto Washington in Decomber. Ihey used to drive around Philadelphia in their coaches-and-four. and I have seen them many a time. They would make a big show. Now.,; added shoin a sort of a plaintive way, "you can't even tell whenamin-' ister is in town." Mrs. Augustin?s husband, who diedsome thirty or forty years ago, at the age; of about 6cventy-five, was birn in Port-au-' Prince. He went to France in 1801. and visited this country in 1803, then going back to the West Indies. Napoleon'j tactics in regard to Spain caused the French residents to be driven out of the West Indies, so Mr. Augnstin came to this' country in 1S09 and settled in Philadelphia. His wife was born in this city, her parents coming from Port-au-Prince for the same reason that caused Mr. Angustin to leave his native land. They declined to go back when their exile was declared ao an end, - GEN. GRANT'S SISTER'S FRAYERS. She Tells How They Wero Answered In Remarkable Way After 25 Years. New York Sun. The attendants at the Sunday evening, service at the Hanson Place Methodist: Church, Brooklyn, listened to a narrative, about the last days of General Grant which has not before been made public. Af tor his sermon, the pastor. Rev. Dr. A. B. Ken dig, introduced to the audience Mrs. C.W. Kraemer, a sister of General Grant, who told of her efforts during t he last twenty-five years of her brother's life to secure his conversion. Mrs. Kraemer is the wife of the Rev. C. W. Kraemer. who was minister to Switzerland during Grant's second term, and she was tho General's favorite sister. She told tho congregation on Sunday evening thatafter her own conversion in 18(51 6be became convinced tbat it was her especial duty to win her brothers soul to God. By her prayers and her influence she did everything in her power to that end from tbat time on. At about the time of Gt neial Grant's first inauguration she believed her object almost gained. He was particularly impressed with the weight of responsibility that bad come upon him, and tho passage in the Scriptures which his lips touched when taking the oath of otlico made a deep impression on his mind. Dnr ing his first term Mrs. Kraemer was inuch in his company at the White House, aud he often discussed with deep feeling the subject that was nearest his sister's heart. During his second term his sister was abroad with her husband, "and they kept up a regular correspondents, largely upon religious subjects. When the General was taken sick Mr. and Mrs, Kraemer were still abroad. ReSorts of his (condition were cabled almost aily. When it became serious her husbsnd was taken ill. and Mrs. Kraemer was unable -to - leave him to go to her brother's bedside. Finaily, 6he said the cable brought word that the General was unconscious and very low. But she had full faith that he would rally, and that her prayers would yet be answered. True enough, ho did improve, aud he lived for some weeks. Finally, in a fit of deep despondency. Mrs. Kraemer, one day in her garden at Berne, prayed most earnestly for the granting of her heart's desire. And there came to her, as she described it to her hearers Sunday night, a deep peace and Molemn conviction that her prayer would be answered, and tliat her brother would not be allowed to leave the world without making his peace with his God. Within a day or two thero came a cable message from her daughter in New York, telling Mrs. Kraemer that a great spiritual change had been experienced by the dying man, and that in fact her prayers of twenty-five years were answered. Some time later Mrs. Kraemer and her husband sailed for New York, and they arrived the day after General Grant's death. In talking the matter over with Dr. Newman, she learned that her brother's change of view of spiritual things took place on the day of her strange experience in the garden three thousand miles away. Mrs. Kraemer' a narrative made a strong impression on the large audience, which listened to her with rapt attention. An Author's Double. t Boston Tr&nscrlpt. f As George Eliot, Dumas, and lastly E.P. Roo, had "doubles," who assumed their naroo and fame for pecuniary purposes, now Mr. W. Hamilton Gibson is added 'to the list of literary in this respect unfortunates. Mr. Gibson's "double," says the Commercial Advertiser, has not stopped at receiving the benefits which accompany the name be has assumed, but has made it exceedingly disagreeable for the original W. H. G.. by contracting loans of money wherever his wanderings have led him. The result is that the famous artist-author finds himself daily in receipt of letters "dunning" him for loans. Mr. Gibson's "double" also drops into poetry and likewise essays ptose, and has already succeed ed in disposing of several manuscripts to! prominent editors. "Scarcely a week has passed ot late," says Mr. Gibson, "without my hearing in one way or another of the shady doings of this miserable double. He assumes my full name, aud is playing the Old Harry with my reputation." Although every effort has been made by Mr. Gibson, his interesting bnt irritating "double,, has thus far eluded him. and fresh clews are at present limited entirely to "duns" for railroad fares, meals, cigars and loans. Geographically Mixed, Leavenworth Times. Ex-President Cleveland sent a teleirram n to tho Democrats of Iowa congratulating them upon their victory over "prvludice and superstition." Mr. Cleveland-.must have had the map of the United tjtqtes upside down when he scut that tele cram. Po litical prejudice and superstition, do not thrive in the noil of the great urthwest. Jn such Southern States as Virginia and Mississippi political prejudice holds sway. aud it was the cause of the Democratic vic tory in each election. of those States in the late .v A Minister's Frofanity.. h Milwaukee StntineL ,2The Rev.

said to have exclaimed: "Danu those trunks!" Of course that is a serious otTen. but whoever has bad a trunk missing will think that the recording angel should havo diopped the proverbial tear in this case, and that the ecclesiastical tribunal should deal lightly with the venerable preacher. COL. SHEPARD' GREAT SCHEME.

lie Expects to Convert the Sultan and Do a Neat Stroke of Raklness at the Same Time. Milwaukee SentlneL- .. It is alleged that Colonel Shepard, the wealthy and eminent Christian editor of the New York Mail and Express; has opened negotiations with tho Sultan of Turkey for the purpose of securing the conversion of that potentate to Christianity. With this object in view. hj is said to -have made the Sultan a very handsome pecuniary ofi'er. Reports differ as to the amount, it being placed all the way from $100,000 to $1,000,000. We would not, in view of Colonel Shepard's known liberality and zeal, placo it below the latter amount. It is known that the Sultan is always in straits for ready cash, and the offer is a tempting one. Of course, if the Sultan should conclude to accept the proposed terms, Colonel Shbpard would enjoy the glory of having achieved the greatest missionary enterprise accomplished in modern times, and the Mail and Express would have the' biggest boom that ever lifted a newspaper into world-wide fame. We are far from regarding Colonel Shepard's act as prompted merely by such com mon and low considerations as the promotion of his business. His fervent piety would account for it safficieutly, aside from all other motives. But if. while extending the domain of Christianity, he can, at the same time, extend the circulation of his Christian newspaper, no one has aright to complain. It is, in fact, a stroke of geuins, and shows the Colonel's splendid tact and fertility of resources, as a newspaper man. If sucess crowns these negoti ations, as we trust it-will, the achievement of Mr. Bennett, of tho Herald, in pending out an expedition for the liuding of Livingston, and of Brother Jones, of tbeTimes, in exploring the Alaskan coast, and discovering the alleged mouth of the alleged Jones river, will dwindle into insignificance. What is the finding of a single missionary, or a scanty survey of the frozen shores of Alaska compared with bringing the Sultan into the fold of the faithful? This would accomplish what the Christian chivalry of Europe attempted in vain in former ages. Crusade after crusade was organized, jand western Europe poured its legions of armored knights against tho hosts of Islam. These efforts cost untold treasure and the sacrifice of myriads of lives, and all was thrown away. But Colonel Shepard does not put ; his trust in the arm of flesh.- With master ful sagacity he sees that the Sultan holds the key of the situation: ivt. tho Sultan won over, the whole fabric of Islam would be in a xneasme undermined, and would soon totter to its fall. He knows the Sultan's weak point, aud he offers him cash, in the firm belief that, "money talks" on the shores of the Bosphorus with a persuasive eloqueuce that no missionary, however gifted, can hope to attain. Y e hope that Colonel Shepard may be successful, aud that he may yet have the pleasure of addressing Sunday-schools in the very mosque of St. Sophia. Poor but Honest. Detroit Free Press The other forenoon a young man with a forlorn-looking countenance and a suit of clothes which seemed to have . run all together and consolidated to save expense, mounted a salt barrel on the sidewalk on Michigan avenue and started off with: "My dear friends, pause for a moment and bear my narrative. I am a poor but honest young man. My motto is 'Excelsior.' My parents are dead and I am a lone orphan." lie added considerable to the above, and in a few minutes he bad a crowd of fifty people around hi ra. Then he announced: "My dear friends, I do not ask for charity. All 1 want is a fair show to make my way in life. I shall now ask you to chip in a nickel apiece, and I will endeavor to do something never yet done on the face of the globe. 1 will try to turn a quadruple somersault in the air." The crowd seemed to like the idea, and the small change rattled in until the gross amount was about $3. Then tho young man got down off the barrel, spit on his hands, picked out his ground and turned a pretty tair somersault. He turned another aud. another, and then remounted the barrel and said: "Kind friends, I have tried to, but I can't do it. Assuring you of mv heartfelt thanks for your kindness, 1 remain yours truly." . Aud not a man uttered a word of complaint. X Taking It Quietly. Baltimore American. It is significant that the ablest and most conservative of the Democratic papers of the Mate outside of lialtimore do not loot upon tho result of last Tuesday in this State as a great victory. They accept it as a warning to the party that it must make a better record ami pnt forth the best men, and do all it can to allay factional differences.' A Farmer's Disastrous Experiment. ! Brown Spring, Wy. T.,Nov. 13. Michael Harvey met with disastrous results Monday, in trvintr on an old plan to start a balky team. He was hauling hay, and the horses refused to pull.
