Correspnd-uce Richmond P. liadiam. Orowine out of my visit to Indiana in August. 1S90. and the meeting of Old Settlers of Wayne county which I was favored to attend, it may be re membered that I wrote letters on the subject to sundry newspapers, chiefly I believe to the Pallai icm. May I crave space in your columns for just one more letter concerning an episode in my visit, oy no means the least interesting part of my experience? I have had it in mind ever since, but a pressure of other engagements has caused it to lie over. Although it m5 appear rather out of date, yet because of the interest I feel in the subject my tlf, I feel strongly persuaded that 1 hall bo able also to interestyour read era. The week I spent at Richmond must ever be precious to memory. I stopped with friend in the immediate vicinitv of my home for eightyears Jolv !-G3 to June 1873 and of course profound ly frought with memories ol mingled joy and sorrow. It is a part of the city where there has been but litth change. . The old National bridge still stood intact, the work on the new one having just begun. It was during this period that I be thought me to visit the hamlet known in my boyhood by the name of Washington, but because there was another postcflice of that name in the state, it was changed to Greensfork suggestive at once of the fine stream which flows by it, and more remotely of the ludian chieftain, Johnny Green, whose history is inwoven with the early annals of that region, and from whom the stream derives its name. So the change of name was a great improvement, being original and characters tic. The place is nearer Centerville. but eaSier of access from Richmond. There were special reasons why I wished to make this visit My eldest brother, John M. Julian, died August 21, 1S.U, aged 23 years, and was buried in the Jesse Bond graveyard, just below Greensfork on the banks ol the stream. My 'at visit there was in IS(il), to place a new headstone at his grave. The anniversary of Lis leath was just at hand, and I felt moved to revisit the place. to see if his grave had been properly cared for, and to renew cherished associations of persons and things in that locality. The years or my absence there had been more numerous than at Richmond or Centerville. 1 have spoken of my eldest brother. May I be permitted for a few moments to recall him to mindf The eldest child, he was but twelve at his father's death; so his was a heritage of care and sorrow unb fitting his years. The better to enable him to aid in the sup port of his mother and family, he a was a most acceptable one. He taught at various points on Green's fork once a short distance north of Center vine; and was engaged in a school in the Walnut Level when he was taker with his last illness. Seldom, if ever has there been a better exemplification than his brief lite afforded of the truth of the sentiment, "To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die." Not only was this true of his immedicte family, but even after the lapse of over sixty years, I found him tenderly and admiringly remembered by sur viviDg early settlers. Some of them spoke of his fine, manly appearance: others of his various rare gifts of mind and heart; while a 1 conceded to him the rare accomplishment of having been the best reader ot all the country side of his day. As I have said, his grave was made in the Jesse Bond cemetery, and I remember that the old patriarch, standing with bred head at the spo, made an impressive and pa thetie discourse at his funeral. Boy that I was, his venerable appearance acd the touching tones in which he uttered words of feeling and truth, made a deep impression upon me. Ou the morning of August 20, 1SD5 I left R chmond for the scenes above indicated. Ou boardiDg the car?, whom should I meet but William C Bond. He had been visiting since the old settlers' meeting at Centerville, and was now on his way home. Need less to say, the meeting and subsequent interview were to me highly gratifying and interesting. As we ti.tted across the once familiar landscape, topics of conversation were spontaneous and unfailing. Arrived at the station, and having learned my mission, my venerable friend declined the use of the carriage which was in waiting to convey him home, and insisted on walking with me to the graveyard and showing me through it. Scarcely second to that of Centerville, I found it thronged with monuments and memorials of names familiar to my youth. I esteeemed it a great privilege, to be favored with such an escort, on the occasion. I gazed with especial interest as we paused at the lowly graves, marked IndigestionPalpitation Hood's Sarsapariiia Restored Her to Good Health Baby Had Catherings in His Head, but Hood's Cured Him. ' I suffered for over three years from Indigestion, palpitation of the heart, night sweats and kidney trouble. I did not get relief from medicines, and reading ot th cure of a similar case by Hood's SarsaparlUa, I began taking it. I continued Its use for six months and at that time I was entirely cured. I am now Jn the best ot health and weigh 54 pounds more than when I began taking Hood's Sarsapariiia. Our baby had earache and gatherings in the head which broke out in sores. He became thin and weak. Hood's Sarsapariiia healed the sores and restored him to gook health." Mas. Ajjck Pollard, Greenwood, Indiana.

in tb name of Je and Phoebe Bocd. "He loved Freedom and bated Oppression.' was tha appropriate epitaph selected by or for him; but on the stone it ismsdc quite unnecessarily, but immaterially to read: "He "loved Freedom and did not love Oppression." The sentiment mieht be construed to apply not merely to slavery, but also to religious intolerance, of which the good man bad some experience. I r.oticfd that the cemetery ground" had been much enlarged and improved, and was informed that further improvements were in contemplation. The location is a very eligible one. Soon my old friend William, being overcome with fat'gne he was then SS and is row 00, if living, and I have

seen no announcement of his death I had to bid him a no doubt last farewell, he however inviting me to be present at the Bond family reunion, to come off in a short time in the grove adjoining the cemetery. Here I might appropriately speak of the Bond family, children and other descendants of Jessie, who occupied the broad fertile acres of Greensfork bottoms at this point, and for many years met twice a week for worship in the humble meeting house which stocd on this spot, tinder the ministrations of the old patriarch. Jesse bad fi. st owned the farm now belonging to Earlham college, bet aft rwards established himself and family on Greensfork. How well I remember him, his wife. Phoebe a daughter of good old Robert Commons, who came from Grayson eounty. North Carolina and all their children, more especially the sons Robert, William, N'athan. John, Isaae and Jesse. Nathan and William lived close together on the "creek." In my boyho-wi Nathan had a wool carding mac! ine and fulling-mill in successful operation near his home, and manufactured the material for the raiment for multitudes of the people, male and female, of Green's fork valley. I remember that in operating in the fulling mill he used large quantities of walnut hulls for dyeing purposes, and that it was not a despised source of revenue to the boys of that period to gather the hulls and carry them in sacks on horseba k some miles to Na than's laboratory; they receiving therefor some cents per sack. I remember that ex Congressman George W. Julian wa among the boys actively engaged in this branch ot enterprise. While engaged at the cemetery I was called on by Abner Bond, a son of Robett and grandson of Jes-"e, who oc cupies the old homestead of the latter. By invitation I was glad once more to visit the place, commanding a view of town and country. There 1 had the pleasure of meeting his mother-in-law, Mrs. M.J. Seott, nee Willits. a schoolmate of the old Charles Canaday of log school-house period, widow of John Scott of the Walnut Level. Returning to the town, I noticed many changes. 1 found it had grown considerably since my last recollection of it, especially in the direction of the railroad; but the older portion showed but little change. I was please I to meet a number of old friends. One, James T. Nicholson, a 6taunch personal and business friend in the past, was sorry to find in a very poor state of health. Others whom I met were Moses Hatfield, J. W. Martindale, Evan Bailey, Dorilas Huff, etc. While sitting with them in the shade, Jabez Beeson and othe old friends esm npon the scene, it seemed to me very much as if I were a boy again, spending a half day off," while making a business call at Mark Reeves' store. The old building where himself and brother Jaates made their start in busines with such phenomenal small expendi tures still stands, and was pointed out r me. The conversation naturally turned on the past. James Bet-son re lated some incidents of my boyhood which had escaped my memory. Do rilas Huff did not fail to inform th audience tuat he went to school to me at the Kepler school-house in 1S4G fifty years previous. Finally the cur rent of talk shifted to old pioneer day in that vicinity the killing of Charles Morgan and brothers, the life and ad ventures of "Old Johnny Green," and kindred topics, including accounts of the early white settlers, the Hatfields Abel Jenny and others. Here I found "Mose" Hatfield quite at home, he having given special attention and. was informed, written a good deal con cerning that period. In fact, since my return to lexas, he has iavored me with some rare and valuable manu script on the subject, which I hope yet to be able to utilize. Speaking of Mose," I feel that 1 should not omit mention of some further pleasant facts He took occasion to show me through his garden and grounds in town, which evidenced his taste for horticulture nis grapes were the best ot the many delicious ones I was permitted to sam pie in various localities. He makes specialty or the black currant, in the cultivation of which he is very success ful. Though coming last in this riting the hrst most deligntiul impression derhed from my trip under notice was the greeting again, after so manj years, of my favorite stream Greensfoik. Though born near the banks of the mere considerable stream, Noland s fork, yet my life from boyhood to manhood having been spent nearer the river Green." (as it used to sometimes be styled,) renders it fat dearer to me than any other. Thi too, albeit that when a boy, I came very near rinding a wattery grave in its noted old swimmin' noie ' ycleptd'The Goose Pond'concerning which mcicent my old friend. Major Isaac Kinley, shamefully narrates that afterwards declared my intention never again to go into the water until I had learned to swim. On the present occasion I viewed with inexpressable delight fr Jm the railroad bridge its broad, sweeping current, and marked its meanderings on my way to the Bond cemetery. The lines of a poet, addressed to his natal stream, came into my memory as affording also a good description of that which spread before me: Ayr. sarvlire. kissrd his pebbled shore. O'e -huott with wild woods, Lh ck 'ning green." And I cannot t xpress the infinite sad ness which filled my heart as I recalled the farewell stacza of another great master of the lyre, and realized its lesson in my own life: "Flow down, cold river, to the Thy tribal- wave deliver: No more by the- my steps ehail he Forever and forever: Isaac H.

1 WABHtNafON Lfe'rftH, The Circle of Weather Station Pari Exposition Conitiimtonart-flays at Honolulu.

tS?jecial (Torres txMidenoe.l Secretary Wilson has arranged through the department of state for the ponsent of the British, French, D-itch and Danish governments for the establishment of weather stations in their rolonies in tbe West I adits and also for similar privileges in Sauto Domingo, Venezuela, Mexico and the Central American republics. The circle Is complete, with the exception of Colombia and Haiti. Colombia declined to allow tbe establishment cf weather stations on her coast under a misapprehension. The government at Bogota appeared to think it a military enterprise and that the stations would be fortified and manned ty soldiers, but its minister iu tbis country has since explained that the undertaking is purely scientific and iutfiided for the benefit of the commerce of the Caribbean sea. Upon receiving this information it is expected the Colombian government will withdraw its objection and that observers will be etablislied at two or perhaps three point on tbe coast of that country. The government of Haiti has also refused to allow stations to be established on it coast, aud our minister at Port an Prince has explained that the reasons will be transmitted by mail. Perhaps this case is a misunderstanding similar to that of Colombia, which can bw easily corrected. To Represent TJs at Paris. It seems that there is a big tight piim on for the position of chi'f American commissioner to the Paris eixuition, and it is difficult to predict which of the aspirants will land the plum. Among tbe leading candidates are M.

Then there is a secretary who will also act as disbursing officer at a salary lr aiiunm of $4,500, and candidates for this berth will be thick. The other commissioners will not have very mueh to do, but they will draw $3,000 each for only a year. One or two of tbo dozen to be named may be taken from the Democratic ranks, but as to tbis there is no certainly. Tbe Flae-s at Honolulu. It is proposed upon the arrival of tht commissioners to hoist at Honolulu the identical flag that was hauled April 1, 1S93, by Paramount Blount. This t1a belonged to the cruiser Boston, tlieu lying in port, aud was taken possession of by Lieutenant Lncian Young, one of her officers, who presented it to Minister Thurston. Mr. Thurston treasured it as a sacred thing and will deliver it to Admiral Miller to bo restored to its former place at the top of the flagstaff on the government palace. There, were two United States flas officially displavert at Honolulu iu l!t:J. The other was made on the Boston bv the sailors for tho wife of Lieutenant Commander Moore, who was very active in her partisanship for tbe Hawaiian republicans. She presented this tan to SSaninel M.

Occasionally it reflects somcthit g else, but when heroes are beiug made tae postoffice department finds it out. fcii.tce tbe war broke out there haa been a distinct tendency to prove this. Immediately after tbe cap turo cf Manila the naming of postoffices for Dewey began, and it is still goiuj? on. A new one pops out every day or two. Immediately after the destruction of the fleet of Oervera a postoffice with the name of Schley was established. Xone of tbe land forces have won postoffice names as yet. " Hauoa is selected now aud then for a new postoffice. A new office in Oklahoma was named for Alger.

A deed has been placed on record by Mr. J. V. X. Hnyck, real estate dealer by which Mrs. Reginald Fendall transfers to General Nelson A. Miles the large double house, 1786 N street, north west. The consideration named in the deed is $30,000. The property is known &9 the Admiral Radford house, aud was at one time occupied by Mr. Justice White. It is unusually spacious for a city home. General Miles now lives in a rented house on Rhode Island avenue between Con uecticut aveaue and Seventeenth street, immediately to the south cf his new tome. It is probable that some repairs and alterations will be made in the house and that it will be ready for the use of the new owner during the coming falL Among the statesmen who left tbe capital in a beatific frame of mind was Senator fchoup of Idaho.
