J. N. C. OLDEST INHABITANT. Henry Johnson, a Colored Man 109 Years Old, An Interesting Sketch of His Eventful Life. Cleveland Leader. Oberlin, May 22. This morning we called upon the oldest inhabitant, at his residence, on North Water street. From him and from other sources we learn that Henry Johnson was born a slave, on the plantation of Spencerware, in King and (jueen county,, Virginia, in the year 15, where he remained until about eighteen years of age, when his father s family wasseparted on the auction block, never to meet again. After a time he became the probity of Humphrey Marshall, sr., through a gut of his wife's father, and lived with them at Frankfort, Here he helped to make the brick for the old Mansion House, and was afterwards the servant of the famous Colonel Dick Taylor whose record was made in the Revolutionary was. He was at this .time landloid of the Mansion House. In the war of 1812 Johnson was hired out to work on the for tifications at New Orleans, and became an assistant in the household of General Andrew Jackson. On the morning of the final and memorable struggle below the city between the British regulars and the citizen defenders of New Orleans January 8, 1815, Johnson himself waited upon General Jackson, carrying the water to his tent for him to wash himself with, and in the afternoon, after Lord Packenham and seven hundred regulars had been killed and one thousand nine hundred more wounded and taken prisoners, 6aw the invaders pass by on their way to the rear, and later cleaned Jackson's sword and clothes and was employed for several weeks following in cleaning the captured arms before sending them to the arsenal at Louisville. At this time he was a married man, and afterwards entertained at his house in Frankfort one of the men who had been taken prisoner at New Orleans. While he was a slave at Frankfort, Marshall's five sons were born, among them Thomas and Humphrey', jr., whose military career was cut short in the late civil war by General Garfield with 900 men putting him, with 3,500 men, to rout on January 8, ltl, at Paintville, Ky. Johnson became the property of young Humphrey Marshall, and: worked for him in Frankfort and Louisville until about 1830. when he ran away to escape a threatened whipping. He went first to Frankfort, and from thence on horseback north, crossing into Ohio at Ripley, riding all the way to Gibraltar, where he crossed to Maiden, Canada. His journey was beset with far less dangers than it would have been twenty or thirty years later, yet his recital of his escape is very thrilling. He came to Oberlin soon after his arrival in Canada, and has lived here ever since. He was married three times but has no family living except his pretrnt wife, who, with what the little garden patch produces, and what she earns by taking iti washing, supplies his few wants. Although blind for ten years he has been able until recently to help himself some, and is able to walk about. His memory is very clear on his personal perienccs, but he remembers little else, al though he recalls the talk about General Washington as well as about vieneral liar field. He is genial and happy aparently as any one hundred and nine years old can be, and says that God has taken care of him so far and he ii willing to trust him for the future, but he does not expect to last much longer. He is a finely formed mulatto, somewhat bald and quite gray, cannot read or write but is a good talker, ana is undoutedly entitled to the appellation of "oldest invidual," so far as heard from.

MEN OF THE HOUR.

WILLIAM EWABT GLADSTONE, An outline of Mr. Gladstone's public career Is Boon Riven, although be has assisted in the making of historj for nearly half a century, and is, in some respects, the most remarkable, If not the greatest, man in Europe. He was born December 29. am, at Liverpool, en Englishman by birth. but bcotcn m Diooa. ills tamer was a mercnant of considerable eminence and wealth. Great (ains were taken in the education of a lad slnguarly studious and ambitious. Before attaining the age of twenty-two the future statesman graduated at the University of Oxford a double first class man. This was in the year 1S31, preceding by a twelvemonth only his entrance upon public life as member of Parliament for Newark-on-Trent, one of the historic towns of Nottinghamshire. Newark continued Mr. (iladt-tone as her repre sentative until 1845. During the thirteen years of thii Association hopeful honors had fallen on the bead of the youthful Commoner'handFome Gladstore," as be was called. He was only twentyfive vh n Sir Robert Peel made him a Junior Lord of the Treasury. Three mouths later be was pro moted to be au i nder secretary lor the uolomes, which position he held until April, 1835, when reel went out of office. Upon the return of -Sir Robert to power, in 1841, Mr. (iladstonc was made Vice President of the Council and Master of the Mint. In 1843 he relinquished the first-named of these offices iu ordr to assume that of President of the Board of Trade. Two years afterward, he was made Secre tary for the Colonies, soon after which he re&izned ofhre and his seat in Parliament. The University of Oxf-jrd returned him as a member of the Hi.use of Commons in 1847. a connection which was maintained for many years notwithstanding the fact that in 1851 Mr. Gladstone differed sr widely from his party in opinion tbat he was n longer numbered in the Conservative ranks. Hi was a member of the coalition Ministry of Lort Aberdeen, farmed in the year 1852. The Aberdeen Ministry resigned in 1855. in conseqieui'3of the clamor raised against its manage ment oi tne Crimean war. and a reconstructed Ministry, wl h Lord Palmerson at the head, and in which Mr. Gladstone had place proved to be short lived. In 1858 and 1859 the subject of this sketch was sent on a special mission to the Ionian Islands, and in June, 1859, again served as Chancellor of the Exchequer under Lord Palmerston, tee rremier, upon wnose aeatn ana tne succeeding Premiership of Earl Russell he continued to hold the same position, and also acted as leader of the House of Commons. His rejection as representative of the University for Oxford,ln 1865 was succeeded by his election in South Lancashire. In 1866 the Russell-Gladstone M nlstry, as it was called, resigned In consequence of an adverse vote on the Suestion of reform in Parliamentary representaoti, and a Conservative Government assumed office. When, In the election of 1868. South Lan cashire rejected her representative, he was tn umphantly returned by the borough of Greenwlen. and Mr. Disraeli's Government retiring be cause of tne election of a Liberal majority to the Commons, Mr. Gladstone snmed the Premier ship for the first time. Lis reat measure, the disestablishment and disendowment of the Irish Church and the Irish Land Bill were pissed by the year 1870. In 1873 his Government was defeated on the Irish University-Education Bill, and he resigned, but was persuaded by his Sovereigi to resume office. He served until after the gen eral election of 1874, which resulted in th triumph of the Conservatives. The magnificen triumph of the Liberals in the election of 188G when Mr. Gladstone was elected by Mid-Lothlai and the borough of Leeds, virtually compelled hi assumption of power as the First Lord of the Treasury, to which he added the functions of Chancellor of the exchequer. Mrs. Lorenzo Hazzard, of Hamilton, Ohio, is visiting Miss Susie Duncan. W. A. Jackson, agent for the Review, will probably go to Virginia this summer. The colored band is progressing finely and will be on the street soon in full uniform The High School commencement will be held in the Opera House on the 20th of June.

Silver Queen Lodge, No. 107, of the I. O. I. in F. L. and T. We take pleasure in calling the attention of our members to the Leader, as in it will be found every . week a column in the inter est of the Immaculate order. We have adopted this method for the purpose of notifying the members from time to time, of the various meetings of their lodge, and to enable visitors to know the time and place: and it will be the means of keeping us all informed as to the general movements and condition of the order, both at home and abroad. If the members will only take a copy of the paper weekly, they w ill always know the nights of meeting and the business. The Leader will contain in the next issue, a Communication from the celebrated Dr. Wm. A. Hadlev, of Nashville, Tenn., Supreme Grand Master of the I. 0. I. of the United States and territories. The Immaculate have a proteni. body, and are making members at a low rate. There will be a new set of officers, and two lodges in flying colors here at an early date. 1 he Uueen ither court is to W rein stated at once, and all the members that have paid in some tiuie ago, will send in their names to the lodge on the 12th day. second Monday, of this month, so that their names can receive credit for the amount paid. We request of the old officers to submit at that meeting the roll of names. The members will take notice that on the 12th of this month we shall elect the delegates to represent the Silver Queen at Chattanooga, Tenn., on the 5, 6, 7 and 8th of July, '82. Dear in mina, me election oi your omcers will take place on the same night. Let all turn out and speak once for all. The regular meeting nights will be on the 12 and 26, the second and fourth Mondays. It is ear nestly desired that the old 107 stand head and shoulders with the other lodges ol the fraternitv, and if we keep the true prineiEles of fidelity, Love and Charity properly efore the good people of Indianapolis, and prove by practices of virtue and morality, that we are qualified to teach modera tion, forbearance, pity, religion and love to God and to our country we will be able to bring together the latent powers of mind. Therefore let us put our thoughts into practice, and place our sacred principles aloft in a conspicuous place, so that the uninitiated may acquaint themselves with the impor tance oi receiving brotherly kindness and mutual protection against fraud and im position. We should, one and all, unite together and work for the accomplishment of this desired end, and you who are sleeping awav your time in misery and eternal ruin, awake to a sense of your duty, and remember vour obligations before it is altogether 9 - too late. It is with no small degree of gratitude that the grand lodge members have dealt with old Silver Queen for nearly three years, and I am sorry to say that with all the kind favors they have shown the old 1U7, there are some of her members who seem to think that not only the Immaculate order, of which they are members, should administer to their wants, whether they work for the order or not, but that the entire world owes them a living whether they work or play, and at all times they are ready to put on the regalia of industry, that they may be recognized as faithful workers in the sacred bond of oru brotherhood. But my brethren, you must remember that many eyes are upon you, and if you do not unite your power and influence to that of your brethren your fellowship with them will shortly end. 1 hey will treat you as a drone bee by disowning your name, and will cut you loose from that lofty place and let y0fall int0 everiasting despair. It w u for to thi ould and count the cost at the proper time. You have "How sweet and how pleasaut it is for brethren to dwell together ' is it not a pleasant sensation to have a brother of your Lodge watch at your bedside when you are racked with pain and bodily sunering, to sympa thize with you in mental afflictions, to main1 1 1 1 J A tain you when you are aisaDiea, to sustain and cheer you in the fearful hour of death, to relieve and support the widow and or nhans you may leave in a cold heartless world without otner protection; are tnese things worthy of your study, or. are you be come so lost to every virtue that you do not reirard vour obligation?

JUNE STOPPING WORK. The Strike Spreading: and the Situation Uncertain. (J en eral Suspension of the Iron Busi ness of the Conntry Thousands of Workmen Idle. No Prediction Yet Ventured When Operations will Be Resumed, i The Outlook In the Different CitiesTalk of Compromise in Some Cases General Labor Notes. THE GREAT STRIKE. General Suspension ef Business at the Roll ing Mills Uncertainties ot the Outlook. Ptttsbueo,' June 1. This morning th warfare between labor and capital began in dead earnest. The fires in all the iron mills in this city, with one excepon, have been taken out and the mills have closed. The one exception is the Union Iron Mills of Carnegie Bros. & Co., who signed last night. They will continue to run, having contracts on hand that must be filled. This is generally considered a bad break and calculated to weaken the lives of manufacturers. It is one of the largest iron mills here, and has a capacity of 35,000 tons a year. The steel mills are running as usual. Most of them have signed the scale, but as they do not employ many puddlers it is not thought that their signing will have any effect on the situation. It is expected that most of the sheet mills will sign in a few days. It is generally believed that the strike will not be of long duration. Those mills which have suspended work will take advantage of the condition of affairs to make needed repairs. Three of the leading firms of steel and iron manufacturers have signed the ecale of wages demanded by the workmen, but about a dozen works shut down this morning. I ron dale, South Chicago, June 1 Noon. The men at the Irondale mills are all out on a strike. A dif patch is just received from Mr. Jarre tt, President of the Amalgamated Association of Iron Workers, stating that he will be here to-day. It is thought the question whether they will continue or not, will be settled upon his arrival. There is no disturba ce, though about 1,200 men have quit work. Representatives of the manufacturers are here, and the men are in consultation with them. The impression is they will he ordered to go to work on Jarre tt's arrival. Yockgstown, O., June 1 Noon. There is no change in the situation from what was anticipated last night. The mills are all shut down, though the furnaces, as a rule, have not as yet gone out of blast Everything is quiet and orderly. The opinion seems to be that the strike may be long, as neither side shows any sign of yielding. Cleveland, O., June 1 3 p. m. The threatened strike will probably not change affairs in this city. The Cleveland Rolling Mill Company's Works have been shut down some time and are expected to resume before long as a non-Union works. The Forest City Iron Company employs 150 men, and Union Rolling Mill Company having 260, have signed the scale ana are running as usual. The other iron and steel works here employ Unon-nion men and are not affected. Detroit, June 1. Members of the Amalgamated Steel and Iron Association em ployed at the Bangs Steam Forge, just below the city, and the Eureka Iron Worts, at Wyandotte, held a meeting and decided to postpone their strike for ten days. There are 200 men employed at the Bangs forge who belong to the Union. Bangs declares that if the strike takes place he will con tin ue business lust the same. It is ouite probable that if the employes of the Eureka Iron Company join the strike the works will shut down. There are sixty men at work ah this establishment. St. Locis, June 1. The Laclede Rolling Mill, Helenbacker Jorge, Harrison Wire Works and Last ot. Louis isut and Bolt Works shut down this morning. Chicago, j une l. ine DricK yards were opened with green non Union hands, under police protection, this morning. Chicago, June 1. The Joliet Iron and SteelWorks had a gang of about twenty non-Union men, some of whom were col ored, unloading iron ore at its docks, this city. At tne close ot tne w orts this even ing they got on board a Chicago and Alton train to go to Jouet. When the train stopped at the Pan-Handle crossing, nve or six mues out,'a ganger about fifty striking iron-workers and their friends mostly young fellows, surrounded the train. Four or five jumped upon the engine and, presenting revolvers at the heads of the engineer and firemen, prevented them from starting the train again. In the meantime another detachment entered the train and pulled out all the workmen they could recognize, including half a dozen colored men and one white man. The remainder of the crowd outside took them, beat them, kicked and stamped on them, injuring them severely. Many stones were thrown in the melee and twenty-five or thirty shots fired. One of them took effect in the groin of Judge Pillsbury, of the Illinois Appellate Court, inflicting a wound which it is leared will prove fatal. Rioters after beating negroes to their heart's

The relations be tween the mill owners and workmen here differ from most places in this: That a year ago a formal contract was entered into by a Committee representing the workingmen belonging to-the Amalgamated Union of Iron and Steel Workers and all the mill owners of this city and vicinity, by which it was agreed that, in consideration of the mill owners paying the rrice till June 1, 1882, which was 10 per cent, above rittsburß prices, the workmen should hereafter receive the same prices as were paid at Titt-burg, but in the event that no scale was agreed on at Pittsburg on June 1, 1$2, then the prices were to remain as they were puor to June 1, 1881, until 1 itsburg prices were fixed. Pittsburg having fixed no scale the mill owners here claim that the provision of the Court for that contingency should govern, and late last night many of them believed the men would be guided by it and would continue at work. But to-day's action shows a disposition to repudiate that agreement, as the" men in all the mills but three topied work. The steel mill owners do not regard the strike as formidable, from the fact that it has no sanction from the headquarters of the Amalgamated Union. Mr. Avery, the Vice President of the Union, is at work to day, so, also, are Mr. Sommers, Secretary of the Committee of workmen that made the contract above mentioned, and Mr. Sanders, one of the leading men among the Union men. These men, by this course, show in the strongest manner possible their disapproval of the attitude of the ma jority of the workmen. The mill of the Anchor Iron and Steel W orks is at work to-day with a full force of men, and Mitchell & Tranter are at work, but the puddlers are on a strike at the mill of B. Benjamin, which does not employ many men. Also the working force of the Cincinnati Rolling Mill, employing 200, are at work. Their method of work being somewhat different from the majority of mills, it leaves them out of the trouble. The total number of men out by the strike is about 1,500. Chas. Avery, Vice President of the Amalgamated Association for this District, has telegraphed to President Jarrett, asking him to come to help settle the matter at a meeting called for nday night. Mr. Avery, in conversation, says the action of the men here is a surprise, and that he thinks the matter can be adjusted by Monday. Cincinnati, June L Except one rolling mill, which works scrap-iron exclusively. and two mills which are working up three or four days' accumulation of blooms, all the mills in Cincinnati and vicinity have stopped. It is the belief of mill owners that all will resume next Monday and that a complete adjustment will be made. Louisville, June 1. The men employed at the Central Rolling Mill in this city went out this forenoon .because of the refusal of this Company to accede to the demand for an increase of pay. The strikers number about 220. Georgetown, 0., June 1. All mill owners refuse to sign the new scale of wages demanded by the workmen, and the mills, including a number of blast furnaces, are shut down to-day. Springfield, 111., June 1. The strike which was supposed to be over here for the present, began this evening and the rolling mills are now closed down. The stoppage puts 1,000 men out of employment. It is impossible to tell when work will probably be esumed. Milwaukee, June 1. The mills at Bay View, near Milwaukee, are out, and the strike has actually begun. A meeting of the men on last evening was attended by the members of the Unions in a body. ßpeeches and enthusiastic appeals were the general order. This morning the Merchant Bar and Fish-Plate Mills were stopped, and the rail mill is now the only one that is running. Minneapolis, Minn., June 1. To-day 10.3 men employed by Youmens Bros, and Hodgins saw mills struck for increased waeea. A general strike among workmen in saw mills is expected to-day. The men now receive $1.20 $2.50.

LABOE NOTES, v At Erie, Penn., 250 puddlers have 6lruck. Several iron mills at St. Louis are ehut down to-day.
