NEWS AND INCIDENT. Oar Compilation ol the Important Happenings of the Week. THE INDIAN WAK. A special from Hermosillo, Mexico, Saturday, gives further particulars of Torres fight with the Indians. He had been pursuing the Apaches for twenty cays, on a trail which led to the Montezuma disdistrict in northeastern Sonora. At Guazanora he was joined by Colonel Garcia, and made a forced march of five days an I nights for the hills of of the Sierra Madres. The scouts espied the Indians moving oif, and twenty-five of them struck a large body in a stronghold heretofore unknown, having, the oldest scons Bays, the appearance of being Eettied three or four years, and had a quantity of stolen stock. Theseouts were attacked and driven back on the main body of troops. The mountain being inaccessible to cavalry, the troops dismounted and made a march of twelve miles. Tney found the Indians strongly entrenched on the crest of a large spur of high mountains. The troops, 300 strong, made an attack at 1 o'clock. They had to climb the mountain on hands and knees, and te Indiana, failing to damage by firing, rolled bowlders down the mountain side, but without effect. The chief, supposed to be Ju, had his station on a point of the mountain, and his commands

to the Indians could be heard distinctly for a mile. It tookvtwo hours for the troops to gain the crest of the mountain, and when they reached it, two were shot dead. The fight on the summit lasted t wo hoars. The troops, swing behind the left of the Indians, made an attack,1 charging bayonets, and forcing them from their position. Tae Indians fled, leaving eleven dead bucks on the ground. Five soldiers were killed and eight seriously wounded. The Indians were drive back for miles, and as the trail showed much blood, a great many ate supposed to ba wounded. Torres says it was the most savage fight ever made with Apaches. He says they retreated into northeastern Chircahua, He thinks there is no doubt that the ranohe is the long unknown stronghold of the Apaches; it is 200 miles east of Sono ra, and about- the same distance southeast from the Arizona border. He says that the trails of all the small bands depredating in Sonora and Arizona lead to this place. ; . : EXECUTION OF BRADY. Joe Brady, one of the fhoznix Park murderers, was hanged at 8 o'clock Monday morning at Dublin. A vast concourse gathered outside the prison yardin which Brady was executed. A Etrong force of cavalry, infantry and police was present to preserve order. There was no attempt at disturbance, however. A wreath of flowers -was received by Brady, to which

was attached a card bearing an expression of grief at bis fate, from Irishmen living in Liverpool. Brady made a statement to the Jail chaplain or to the governor of the prison. One of the last things he done was to write a letter to his mother. He carried a prayer book in his hand to the flcaifoldV and was thoroughly resigned and firm. His body fell nine feet and his death was instantaneous; Brady was dressed in the same clothes he wore during Ms trial. The number of persons in the crowd outside of '...the jail is estimated to have reached 10,000. The thrcm is said to have been even greater than any of those waich collected when the executions were public. At the moment the black flag was seen over the jail a cry was raised of "hate off," and every 4 heacl was uncovered. The crowd shortly afterwards dispersed quietly.

.... A careful examination of the extensive

orchards -in the vicinity of Madison by J.

C. Davis, one of the largest fruitgrowers,

of hia aud other orchard-", develops the

fact that only 25 rp.r cent, of a full crop will be harvested thi? serson, and mostly

late peaches; The bulk will be in Sep

tember. Ti e barn of Terrance Casey, a short distance west of Orawfordsville bnrned Tuesday, and three mules and a horse perished in the flames, fn attemptiag to rescue the animals, Mr. Casey was seriously iajared by the flames. The

fire was undoubtedly the work of" an incendiary. During the absence of their mother from the kitchen, on Saturday morning, the two children, son and daughter, of 1 J. Katterjoun, a prominent miller, of Boonville, were badly if notfatally scalded. The children had fastened a string to the teakettle, which was on the stove and full of boiling water, and were playing horse, when the kettle was overturned and the children were scalded in the face, feet and limbs. Another chapter in the fatal shooting affair which occured at BoonvilJe on the 28th of April, when Jake Wallace lost his life, was closed on Thursday night by

the death of Thomas Wallace, who died from the effects of the pi3tol shots he received at the hands of Simon Williams. Williams is still in the Evansville jail. Considerable excitement and deep feeling was manifested at the death of the Wallace boys. J. W. Harper, of La Fontaine, Wabash county, has one of the largest and best herds of snort-horn cattle in the State. Among them are represented such famous families as Ianthe, Fashion, Louan. Caroline, Craggs, Frantic and Clarksles.vil The herd is headed by the celebrated bulls, Duke of Liberty and Acklani Sher6n, a pure Keinek Rose of Sharon, related to the favorite families of the moct noted short-horn breeders in the United States, and recorded in the American herd book. The boiler in Guyer's saw and shingle mill at Nappanese, Elkhart county, blew up Saturday morning instantly killing

Wallace Bundage and Mr. Kekers, Three brothers, John, Joseph and Levi Gnyer, were seriously and it is feared fatally in jrtred. One of them was found' completely covered by lumber and sawdust. Henry Knicely, another workman, was scalded all over the body, and will not live. The two men killed were completely blown to atoms. At Williamsport, on St. Mary's river ten miles south of Fort Wayne, the dam at Cody's grist mill was partially destroyed Saturday morning by the explosion of some dynamite placed there by malicious parties. Eight hundred dollars will repair the damage, and $600 that to houses in the village. Nobody hurt. The explosion was heard six miles. The report of the State-house commissioners for the quarter ending March 31 was submitted to the Governor last Sat orday. The only notable thing about it is that it contains nothing of interest. Xhe action of the General Assembly is elaborately set forth, but the commission -ers say nothing in regard to their inten tions. At their present rate of progress they are not likely - to reach any conclusion or take any decisive action for the aext several years.. The expenditures up to the present time amount to $781,762,12. During the. past two months eight bams have been burned in Delaware CQnnty, and everyone of them contained a self-binding- reaper. The last one was

consumed Wednesday night,and belonged

to Adam Sheller, residing near De Soto,

that county. This destruction of self-

binding reapers has?attracted the attention of farmers who now fear to store

them in their miildings, and it is believed if the war against them by farm laborers

continues that the insurance companies will retuse to continue policies on build

ings having in them these labor-saving harvesters.

JUDGE HA31KOXD APPOINTED. Governor Porter has appointed Judge

Edwin P. Hammond, of Eensseiaer, Jasper county, supreme curt judge, to suc

ceed Judge Woods, appointed United

States district. judge, Prior to the ap

With the exception of a short absence, he was, during his term of service, on active duty, with his regiment, and was engaged in some of the severest battles of the war. He possessed the requisites for a popular commander. At the close of the war tho president appointed him colonel by brevet in the United States volunteers "for gallant and meritorious service during the war," as recited in his commission. The war over CoL Hammond again entered upon the practice of law at ileuseelaer, and soon acquired an extensive reputation as a lawyer of integrity and

ability. Though a republican in polities, he received from Gov. Hendricks the appointment of judge of the thirtieth j ad i -cal curcit in 1878. He was elected to the same position in the next October, and re-elected in 1878, the republicans, dera-

Locrat and national parties plaoinir his

name upon their tickets. He was a delegate to the national republican con enion held in Philadelphia in 1872.

FireK Sunday destroyed proper' as follows: At Austin, Texas, $225,000; at Cincinnati, 3175,000; Chicago, $250,000. LjThe wheat crop estimates and averages this year are much below the average.but the first place of honor is given to Indiana, whose yield is estimated at 30,000,000 bushels. California is next, with 29,000,000 bushels. Tho cyclone of Sunday, in Missouri, leveled Oronogo to the ground. The town had a X'opulation of GOO. Several persons were killed and injured. Several persons we're killed in Michigan. The

cyclone did great damage elsewhere in'its track. It is said a detective who attended the Irish convention at Philadelphia communicated to the governor general of Canada, or thoBritish government, that the day of Brady's execution was to bo the signal for a combined attempt at revenge whenever and wherever opportunity might offer, and that Halif axnad been

selected as the scene on account of its proinineuce as a military point. THE EAST: The seventh annual New York bench show of dogs opened Tuesday. The entries numbered over 1,100. Harry Garfield, son of the late Presi

A movement has been inaugurated by the tin companies of Pittsburgh and Philadelphia for the restoration of a protective tarhT on tin plate. The more respectable Chinese residents of New York sent a communication to the police authorities, Friday, promising their aid in suppi ossiug crime among their fellow countrymen. Governor Butler and Collector Worthington, of Boston, have complained to the national authorities of the landing of pauper emigrants in Massachusetts shipped hither by the EnsHf-h fcu-niLti and want it stopped. Captain W. W. Bush, of Lockport, N. X., the. iirst man to volunteer in the union army, April 15, 1801, has been presented a gold badge, contributed for by the veterans from nearly eve;y quarter of the union. Captain Bush is rjresident of the 12th army corps society. When Kev. E. P. Shields, of the Cape May Presbyterian church rose, Sunday, to annoiiDce that he would no longer continue in tho pastorate of tie church, he fell senseless, attacked by heart disease, creating a painful scene. He rallied somewhat, and the docturs do not think

the attack necessarily fatal. By an accounting in the surrogate's court, New York, it apt-cars that tho estate of William Tilden, a relat ive of Samuel J. Tilden, who died in 1809, valued at $2,5G0,0C0 distributed equally among four sons has been squandered by riotous 1 ving until now only 100,000 are left to each of the younger boys. THE WEST: The Cree Indians are again on the warpath. A favorable outlook :is reported tor Spring wheat. A number of the JuOatbrrs of the Dakota Legislature nve been indicted for bribery.

Jacob Becker, a Cincinnati laborer,who has been suffering from some unknown malady for seventeen years, has found relief through a powerful emetic, which caused him to throw up a . snake eighteen, niches long aud five small lizard. The wife of. Senator James G. Fair, the Nevada ten -millionaire, has been granted a divorce from her husband and been

given ahmony to the amount of S4,2o0,000. Neglect was the cause of complaint. . Amasa S tone, Cleveland's great ca pi-

talist and railway and iron magnate, committed suicide Friday by shooting. 'The cause is assigned to depression by illness and heavy loss es in business. He v.as worth $8,000,000. Congressman Hazlcton, of the Third Wisconsin district, who was accidently injured shortly before the adjournment of Congress, must undergo the amputation of a leg in conscqueuce,and his physicians doubt even that will save hi3 life, r Owing to the mountainous aud inaccessible country in which the hostile A laches have takou refuge, it is thought they can not be subdued iu a shorter time than six months. Thews are nearly live hundred of them in all. In joint meeting at Cincinnati on Monday the Methodist ministers discussed prohibition, and mutually agreeing that no faith could be placed in any political party, determined to call a State convention of ministers at a future date to ic solve on vigorous temperance action, Tho St. Louis Globe Democrat tells how a barikjteller in that city made $50,000 or $60,000 by using t he bank's surplus to buy government bonds when they were low and sold at an advance. Despite his financial abilities the directors concluded to .dispense with his vahi.ible service. Rev. 11. O. Hoffman, of Bloomington, Illinois, has reduced his demand for damages against Zetta Kobiuson, for sla der, by charging him with luistnn1y,fromT$5,000 to one cent, as it is alleged, to shut off the witnesses snbpoaiaed from llushville, Quincy, Decatur and other places, to show up hia previous reputation unfavorably, Henry Holzworth, chief of the Cleveland detective force, has gone insane. The chief ideas holding him is that certain citizens la o electric wires fastened to his head and are thus enabled to de tect his innermost tl oughts. He has several times called meetings of his subordinates to take measures by which the wires could be cut. Specials relate that the strikers fit tho western co-operative mine.in West Belleville, HI, sot fire to the mine there Monday night, when it was unoccupied by workmen, and t he Ore raged all Tuesday.

A Cairo telegram says millions of caterpillars falliug upon the track of tbo Texas & St. Louis railroad, on Sunday, at Birk's Point, delayed the incoming train several hours? arriving away behind time. The woods along the lino for miles are en

tirely stripped of foliage, while complaint comes from the interior that fruit and shade trees are being killed by tho hundreds. The emigration of the worm to fresher fields caused I he novel delay of the train. The editor of tho Cincinnati Price Cur rent, Mr. Charles B. Murray, has made a very extensive investigation by special correspondence concerning wheat and other crops within the past sis days, and publishes the result at great length in the morning. He says tho average condition and promise of winter wheat compares with last year as follows: Ohio, 65,

Indiana 70, Illinois 05, Missouri 80, Kansas 70, Michigan 00, Kentucky 75, Tennessee 90, West Virginia 80. Tho general average for these States is 78, indicating an aggregate possible yield of 104,000,000 bushels, a gaiust 206,390,000 last year. Estimating the Middle and Southern States at 60,000,000 and the Pacific States the same as last year, lie places the entire winter growth at 300,000,000, a decrease of 84, J29,00O. Tho spring wheat crop is put at 8,750.000 less than last year. Tho Price Current thinks the difference in reserves will place the new season on a parity with the last.

THE SOUTH: Quarantine is to be established at Memphis this week. The tobacco woi m threatens to ruin the crop iu Virginia. Galveston is now the second cotton port of the country. The receipts this season are 800,000 bales. At Dallas, cn Monday, Simon Wilson was sentenced to sixty-seven years' imprisonment for murder.

WORN-OUT MONEY What the Government Gains Every Year by Accidents and Carelessness A Look at the "Macerator," Where the Greenbacks are Pounded to Pulp. Washington Cor. of the Post-Dispatch. It is announced here that the fund for paying express charges on United States notes sent here for redemption will be exhausted at the end of the present fiscal year. "That means a good deal of .dirty and rngged currency throughout the country," said Treasurer Wynian yesterday in speaking of the subject to your correspondent. "How is if;, Mr. Treasurer," I asked,

"that this fund, which has always been available for this purpose heretofore, is not to be had longer?" "Simply because Congress didn't make any appropriation for this purpose," he replied, "It made an appropriation for

paying the express charges on bank notes seut. in for redemption, but not for Unitei! States currency notes, or greenbacks as they ere popularly known- I suppose it was omitted by some error." f "And will this have a perceptible effect in reducing the amount of greenbacks sent here for redemption?" "Undoubtedly" was the reply." "After June 30th banks sending soiled aud mutilated greenbacks for exchange will have to pay the express charges on them. Of course this is a small item., yet the tendency will be to keep the notes in circulation as long as possible, and the currency will be visibly dirtier and more ragged during the coming year than before. Especially will this be the case- iu the West and South, where the long distance and high express charges will keep the currency in circulation much longer than in the sections more accessible." "Do you find any difference now in the condition of money which comes from the various sections of the country:" "Yes, the further away the point from which it comes, the worse the condition of the notes. Banks don't like to lay out of their funds so long as it takes to send them two or three thousand miles, unless there is a p jsitive necessity for doing so, and the result is that they keep putting them out as long as they will go. The

result is that, those wnicn come to us from a long distance are only those that are so entirely unat that they must be redeemed " "How much is sent in for redemptior aud exohange in the course of a yearV" He touched a little bell and a messenger

appeared. "Take these notes," he said, "to Mr. Bogers and Mr. David gey and he wrote to one, "How much received for redemption to date this fiscal year, aud how much fit and how must unfit V"' "Xon see,,? he explained, as the messenger started off with the two note?, "one of these gentlemen has charge o the redemption of the bank notes, aud the other the greenbacks." 41 With what are bank notes redeemed other bank notes?" "Somotimes in bank notes and sometimes partly in greenbacks, according to circumstances. The United States notes greenbacks are changed for other and

new greenbacks ia most cases, except when gold, silver or Now 5fork exchange is asked for instead." "What do you mean by 'fit "and unfit,' Mr. Wymau?" "Well, there aro a few of the bank notes which are sent in for exchange

which. are yel fife for circulition. They are sorter! out aud sent out for circulation again. We used to do this with the greenbacks, but there are so few 'fit' ones among them now that it doesn't pay to trouble to assort them." "What is doue with this worn and mutilated money when it is presented for exchange?" "It is sent to the 'macerator a big iron machine in the basement of this buildiug where it is ground to pul p, and the pulp sold to paper-makers, who get the color out of it and make it into paper again." "You used to burn it, did you not?" "Yes, but the present system was found preferable, as itw destroys the money more effectually, and the sale of the pulp brings something into the Treasury." "Are the worn greenbacks redeemed with other aud new greenbacks of the same denomination?" "Not necessarily. Mcst of them are redeemed with new greenbacks, except where gold, silver or New York exetvng3 is asked fo! ; but as to denominations, we

000,000) was in circulation. A great deal of this money that has been issued by the Government in the past twenty-two years has never come back for redemption, and will never come back. The Government is gainer millions upon millions of dollars in this way. It is estimated by t lie Treasury Department, for instance, that 81,000,000 was burned up in the Chicago tiro. Other millions were lost and destroyed during the war, others are lost or sunken and blown up in steamboats, others burned in burning buildings and many millions were lost from careless pockets or worn out and never presented for redemption. Nobody sees any paper fractional currency in circulation now, yet there is nearly 15,000,000 of it that has never been presented for redemption. It is probable that not 81,000,000 of the 15,000,003 of this is still out that will ever come iu. Experts estimate that at least 1 per cent, of the money thus is-

been driven, and this division will be completed by July 1. Of the piling in the lake two and a quarter miles have been driven, and one mile of the work is completed. The trestle on the north shore has been completed for some time and the rails are laid nine miles, or to Pearl river. The trestle-work is all constructed after the same plan, except that the cross ties are further apart in the ap proaches than in the bridge proper, and that the timber used on the latter is all cresoted. The description of the bridge will answer for the other work. This structure, which probably will be the longest of the kind in the United States, will also be one of the most substantial. Experts in railroad building pronounce the sections already finished the most perfect specimen of trestle construction tbey have seen. The pile average sixty feet in length and are driven about forty feet. In each bent there are

Peserving Pretty Faces. From a in the Newark Advertiser, . The desire to improve the appearance or presor f e her beaut y is implanted in every woman V; h-aj t. Nothing can be said against the desire; it is perfectly legitimate. But very much can bes ud against the metneds wild seized upon to reach the wished-for end. A moderate use of simple violet; powder for the bath or used lightly on the face is not injurious to the skin; it has n pleasant feeling and takes away the glossy look from some faces; but chalk and paste that are too frequently used gives ihe skin an unnatural and painty appearance, and when the folly of using rouge on the checks is added, a pretty face is vulgarized. Many ladies have an indelicate manner of powdering in public, aud if you arc a careful observer you will frequently see a young woman on boat or train or iu a waitingroom taking out a handkerchief "with powder in one comer and deliberately chalk her face, very of ten before men who., are jt audi ig about. One of the most beautiful blondes I ever saw contracted the habit of powdering to excess. Her natural complexion " was exquisite and she had no need of artificial aid, but she thought it added to her appearance, and so she powdered to such an extent that eveiy ojiOjnoticed it and gave her no credit" for what nature had really dona for her. A proper care of health and diet will add the most of anything to one's

appearance, and the laws of health are

entirely opposed to filling the porea of the skin with chalk and paint that are frequently composed of poisonous in gredionts which aie not only dangerous, but vulgar. Mr. I buchere's advice to ladies to wash their face in very hot water if they wish a beautiful skin and no wrinkles has been widely read and adopted by many women. The complection, because t is one of the first and foremost attributes of feminine beauty, is more tampered with more subjected to every conceivable style of treatment than the care of the hair, teeth, eyebrows, lasher, nails and hands would amount to altogether, if summed up in one Such various treatment of the skin often result in doing it more harm than good. Washing in hot water is undoubtedly very beneficial for the skin in certain oases bat with all due respect to Mr. Labouchere it is not to bo recommended universally. It is fcelf-evident that each

fcvpe requires a treatment particularly adapted to its own needs, and women must exercise their own judgment in such matters, and study what sort of skin they reallv hsive. It is not well to use much soap, . notwithstanding some women preach another gospel in reference to this; but if yon

have a very fresh, tough skin you may be fcble t-j stand frequent latherings for a few yeare, and imagine you owe your freshness of coloring to that, but you will soon see the folly. The Home of the Horse. ifnu-oiera' Gazette. , There is no doubt that the original home of the horse is not Europe, but Central Asia; for, since the horse in its natural state depends upon grass for nourishmo it and Oeetness fonts weapon, it could not in the beginning have thriven and muliip'ied in the thick forest grown territory of Europe. Macu rather should its plaee of propagation be sought in those

apart. The caps of the piles are twelve by fourteen inches, and the stringers are six by sixteen inches, and three of them

j on each side laid on edge. The cross-

tie i are only three inches apart, ana on them are bolted stringers, which act as guard rails. The ties form a secure decking to the trestle-work, upon which the wheels of a car could run without danger of leaving the bridge on account of the guardrails. The trestlework from beginning to end is one of the grandest undertakings con

nected with railroad buildinor in the

south. Some idea of its magnitude may

be formed from the statement that the quantity of lumber required,- outside of

the piles, is over 15,000,000 feet; There will be 8.101 bents of four wiles cash, or

32,641, piles.

The Hero of Uncle Tom's Cabin.

"Uucle Tom's Cabin" was the wedge

usually give whatever is asked for." By this time the report had come bao:i from the redemption division. Of greet -backs and gold aud redemption notes

there had been redeemed this year up to i

date 108,5)00,000 of National Bank notes, 372,000,000 had been sent in for redemption, an 1 $10,000,000 of the lot had been decided "at" for circulation and senb on t again. Of the currency thus redeemed, onedollar notes form a very large proportion. They are worn out faster than any of the other bills, in spite of the fact that the silver dollar is constantly being thrust forward in ths vain attempt to make it take the place of the greenback dollar. In the redemptions last year of the greenbacks alone there were $58,308,000 in onedollar bills redeemed and destroyed;, 4,040,000 two-dollar bills, 3,554,000 fivedollar bills and 1,380,000 ten-dollar bills. The life of the dollar greenback appears to be very brief. Of tbe 29,030,000 one dollar note 3 issued between 1875 and 1879, known rathe "issue of 1875; 25,000,(KX) have o me back torn and ragged and dirty, aud been redeemed with others bright and new and crisp. Yet of the ?K),000 tea-dollar bills of feint same lot issued at tho same time not half had yet come back at last accounts. Of te "issue of 1875" woioh still continues, 10,000,000 of tho r 1,000,000 one-dollar bills have iome back some of them scarcely a year old. Of the "issue of 1880,' which began three years ago, but is still running, 4,000,000 of the one-dollar fellows came back used up in the first two years. The ten-dollar bills are much longer-lived. Of 158,000 teu-dollnr notes issued hotween 1880 and 1882, only 10,000 came back during those two years, or about 0 per cent, of tho whole number issued, while of the 'me-dollar bills of the same issue nearly vO per cent came back at the same time. The total amount of greenbacks and other Government obligations (silver certificates, fractional currency, &c.) which have been redeemed and destroyed since the begin win g of tho issue of these obligations is about $2,000,0000,000 nearly eight times the amouut now outstanding, and nearly four times as much as was 'afloat in 1805, when the largest quantity of this sort at obligations ($()i.58r

the first na

tions of ride s, of which we (says Poonlar Science Mou'.hl.i ) have historic knowledge -he Mongolians and the Turks, whose existence even at t ItU d y is it were combined with that of the horse. From these regions the ho?aa spreads in all directions, eii)?uUl'y in the steppes of southern an I sontheas'ern Russia and into Hi r i?e, until it dually fnnu.1 entrance into the other parts of Europe,but not u ntil after tho immigration of the people. This assumption, at least, is strongly favored by the fact that the further a district of Europe is from those Asiatic steppes- . ., from the original home of the horse the later does the tamed horse Srvm to have made its historic appearance in it. Tho supposition is further, confirmed by the fact that horss raising among almost every tribe appears as ah art deiived from neighboring tribes- in the East or Northeast. Even in Homer the ox appears exclusively as the draught rnimal in land operatious at home aud in tho field, while the horse was used for purposes of war only. Its employment in m litary operations was determined by swiftness alone. That the value of the horse must have originally depended upon the fieetness can easily be inferred from the name which is repeated in all the branches of the Indo European language and signifies nearly 'hastening, 'quick. Tho same fact is exemplified by the description of tho oldest poets, who, next"to its courage, speak most ol! its swiftness. The Lake Pontchartrain Bridge. New Orleans Picayune, On Sunday a party, composed mainly of railroad officials and constructors interested in tho building of the New Orleans & Northwestern railroad, took a trip across Lake Ponton artiain for the purpose of examining the great trestlework now in course of construction. The entire length of tho trestle-work when completed will bo twenty-one and a half miles. This distance comprises thirteen and a half miles from People's Avenue canal to the point, five and three quarter miles across the lake, and two and four tenths miles from the north shore. All of tbe piliiu; along the southern shore, with the exception of about one mile, has

that finally rent asunder that gigantic fabric with a fearful crash. The book is of intense human interest: it chained the attention of: every reader, for it was liv ing, vital truth, and the man whose life was a poem and who was present in Mrs. Stowe's mind when she drew the wonderfully graphic pen portrait of her slave hero. Josiali Hcnson has just passed out of Egypt into the promised land of his Savior. His closing ears were happy and triumphant as his early ones had .bean sad, depressed and down-trodden. Mrs. Harriet Ueccher Stowe's Uncle Tom, the Kev. Josiah Benson, was bom June 15, 1789, in Charles county; MoV on a farm belonging to Francis Newman about ii mile from Port Tobacco. His mother wras a slave of Dr. Josiah McPherson, but hired to Newman, to whom his father belonged. One ot the earliest

incidents Father Henson remembered'jon .

the Newman farm was that of seeing his father suffering with a lacerated bao&and bleeding head: the oerseer, a rough, coarse man, had brutally assaulted Uncle Tom's mother, when his father hearing her cries for help, rushed at the fellow, threw him down, and would have killed him but for the entreaties of his wife and

mother. The slave who had dared to attack a white man, no matter what the provocation, must be punished, and Un

cle Tom's father was sentenced to a huh-

dred lashes and to have his ears nailed to the whipping post and then severed from

his bodv; and the sentence was carried

out. The master, Mr. McPherson, was a good master, but intemperate, and re-

tnrning home onemight from a convivial

gathering, he was drowned. Then lus

"Dronertv" had to be sold, and Uncle

Tom, mother and children were separated the father had been sent to Alabama

some time previous and was never heard of again. Uncle Tom rose to be overseer:

after a time was converted; at the age of twenty-two he married, and twelve chil

dren were the fruit of this union; seven of these survive. He removed to Kentucky

in 1826, and after a time became a Methodist preacher. Tie finally purchased his

freedom, but by that trickery which slave holders know so wrell he was kept in bondage Be was taken down the Missi ippi to be sold, but escaped the dread of the Negroes life on the plantations of the far South. He fled at length with wife and children to the Indiana shore, and after innumerable hardships, he aud his wife and little ones reached Canada, Oc tober 28, 1830. He got on well in the do minion. From that time he preached and labored for his poor enslaved brethren; made perilous journeys from Canada to the slave states, and succeeded in aiding :a number to escape from slavery; and visited New York and Boston, where he collected money with which to build a saw mill at Camden, Can., then called Dawn. Subsequently he visited Great Britain where he was as cordially received, as he had been by the Friemlsjn Indiana and Ohio, the anti-slavery men in New England, or the free people in Canada, During the Canadian rebellion he was appointed captain of a company of colored volunteers. When the slavery war broke out his son Tom, -who was at

thnt thnA in California, went into the

navy and it is believed was killed, as he was never heard from since that time,and his son in law enlisted at Detroit in the union army. Father Henson again visited Great Britain a few years ago, where he was received by the most distinguished men and women, and was given among other honors, an audience by the queen. After returning to America he visited his oldsiave home in Maryland; and went to

j the grave of his mother, who had passed

way her life in sorrow and chains. At the age of 94 years, a man who, like Simon, the Cyrenean, bore the cross ' of his master, goes to his grave. His life is an inspiration to tho young Uncle Tpins. . Americans Abroad. Rov-i Josoph Cook. 1 do think that if there is one thing which attracted my attention above another it is the prevalence of Americans in the high places of the earth. They have been foremost in the walk of introducing civilization into the East, There is a large and ever-increasing colony of Americans in Japan, in Inch, in Australia, everywhere from Constantinople to Yokohama. The first man who compiled a Japantjse dictionary was Dr. Hepburn, an American; the first one to compile a Chinese dictionary was Dr. Martin; an American; and Dr. Verbeck, an American wan the founder of the Imperial University at Tokio, from which came out the great reformers who have made Japan what she is to-day.

blue jeans clothes rose up in h ft: place and the Solicitor asked the following

customary 'questions:. . . : ;.
