Gen. Lee Declined to Sell riis Fame,
Gen. Lee, says a Washington letter to
the Sun. at the close of the war, received
innumerable offers to engage in commer
cial enterprises. Insurance companies,
railroads, and many large corporations
at the South were anxious to pay him any
salary he might demand solely for the use
of his name, without any labor on his
part, or the incurring of any responsi
bility whatever. A committee of English
men. with the l>uke of Sutherland and
Mr. Beresford Hope at the bead, offered
him in fee a splendid estate in one of the
midland counties of England, coupled
with a guarantee of an income of £5,000
a year as long as he lived. He gratefully
declined all of these offers, and accepted
the Presidency of Washington and Lee
University at a salary of $3,00t) a year.
Hen? he earned his living as the hardest
■worker in a hard working faculty in
training the youth of the country up to
the very hour of the paralytic' stroke
which immediately preceded his death.
Gen. Lee left three sons. They, too, re
ceived many offers of a similar kind, and
likewise declined them. Two of these
sons are now prosperous planters in Vir
ginia. The third succeeded bis father in
the Presidency of Washington and Lee
University, and has filled the position
with credit for the last thirteen years.
The true American spirit shines in Gen.
Lee’s example, the spirit which prompted
Washington and his Generals when they
retired from the public service enriched
only with the recollection of their great
achievement, and scorning to make mer
chandise of their fame.
AX ARTIFICIAL NEGRO.
A Man Whose Color Changed from
White to Black—Results of the Use of
Nitrate of Silver.
In the wide, level grass plot west of the
grand stand at the inter-State fair
grounds, says the Kansas City Star a
dark-skinned solitary figure stands all day
long switching the clover-tops with a
crooked cane and keeping a desultory
watch for trespassers on the line of the
fence. Pretending to watch would be
perhaps more accurate, for he is lame on
one side and walks with difficulty, so he
stands still, mostly looking dreamily at
the sky and Helds. '
Those who pass on the road notice him
simply as an inoffensive negro, but the
few who had occasion to walk over the
field near to him have started in surprise,
not unmixed with horror, at’something
monstrously unnatural in his apjiear
ance. He is black, but not like an Afri
can in color or features. It is rather a
blue-black; an uncannv, hideous shade
that seems as though his skin had been
first drained of all blood and smeared
with dye. When one comes to look at
him closely the peculiar shade in a photo
graph is irresistibly called to mind. His
face looks almost exactly like a photo
graphic proof that has nearly faded out or
turned black.
Even the eyeballs and lips partake of
the discoloration. The balls of the
former are a dusky blue and the latter a
dark purple. Against his skin a reddish
beai-d forms a strange contrast. The
name of this singular being is Thomas
White, and he has lived near here the
larger part of his life. His color is the
result of taking nitrate of silver as a
medicine, and he is a living example of a
cruel penalty that science imposes lor a
desperate cure.
Those who have read Wilkie Collins’
graphic narrative of thelsorrows of “Poor
Miss Finch,” will remember she loved a
twin brother named Oscar, who was an
epileptic. Poor Miss Finch was blind
and saw her lover’s face only through her
finger tips, with which she felt bis fea
tures. Cursed with his dreadful disease
he did not dare to marry her, w hen a bold
physician proposed employing nitrate of
silver as a cure. This drug, as is well
known, is sensitive to the light and turns
black when exposee to the sun. With it
photographers prepare sensitive paper
lor their prints, and once absorbed in the
blood the same effect was to be expected.
Oscar knows the hideous disfigurement
that is his doom, but determines to use
the remedy, consoling himself with the
thought that bis bride will never see him.
How it affects him he describes in a letter
in the novel.
“I told you in my last,” he wrote,
“that the discoloration of my skin had
begun. The complexion you were once so
good as to admire has disappeared for
ever. lam now of a livid ashen color —
so like death that I sometimes startle my
self when I look in the glass. In about
six weeks more the doctor calculates this
w ill deepen to a blackish blue, and then
tin* saturation (as he calls it) will be com
plete.”
On this much of the motif of the story
he says:
•‘Physicians rarely prescribe the drug
because the remedy is usually consid
ered worse than the disease, and few have
the fortitude to w ithstand it.”
•*I knew White twenty years ago,” said
l>eputy Marsha! Ike Jackson, '•‘when his
color corresponded with his name, and 1
saw him gradually turn black year alter
year. At first the color could scarcely be
noticed, and then he grew darker and dark
er, until he is as you see him now.”
A reporter, whose curiosity overcame
his hesitancy at approaching’so delicate
a subject, strolled across through the
clover field yesterday and engaged White
in conversation.
“Will I tell you about myself?” said
he; “1 don’t mind. Sit down here by me
on the log and I’ll do the best I can. I
suppose you want to know what secured
me this color. It is from nitrate of silver
l have taken. Twenty-five years ago—
yes, more, for it was a good deal belt >re
the war—l suffered terribly from epileptic
tits. I had one every day or two and was
rapidly losing my mind. I could remeEi
ber nothing, got so weak and thin I could
scarcely get around, and was dying by
inches. About that time Judge Taller, who
used to be a big man here, and was-sub
ject to epilepsy, told me that nitrate of
silver, taken internally, would cure me.
He had used it himself and it hail turned
his skin black just as you see mine now,
only perhaps worse. He was a curio sitv
all around, and I used to be afraid to l ook
at him.
“The idea of getting that wav turned
me sick, and I thought then I would
rather die than use the stuff. The tits,
though, got to coming so fast and so ba* 1
that I saw I would probably die any how,
and made up my mind to* begin with it.
Mv mother, though, would not hear of mv
taking it. I had a good white skin then,
and the notion of me turning black was
more than she couhl stand. At last,
though, she saw how things were and gave
her consent.
“Then 1 began to take the medicine. I got
it put up in pills ol three-quarters of a
grain each, and would take three or four
of them a day. I don’t know how long 1
kept that up. It would be impossible for
me to tell. It was for months, though—l
guess years. For a long time there was
no change in my skin. Then I began to
turn black very slowly. At first you
could hardly notice it at all. Then it got
deeper and deeper, ltseeme das though it.
took all color away w ith it, and folks
used to say at first that I lo oked pale and
wouldn’t notice the black a c all. It came
so gradually that 1 had a chance to get.
used to it and also those around me, so
it wasn’t so hard. People told nw> that it
would affect ine bad when I got old, hut 1
have never felt anv injury from it except
the staining of my skin. I have rheuma
tism and a strong light m akes my eyes a
trifle weak, hut I’m s*l years old now, and
might feel so anyhow. Judge Taller died,
folks said, from the medic ine, but it has
never hurt me.”
“How did it affect the fits?”
“It stopped them. I finally to
taper off on the nitrate ot silver, and got
it down to a grain a day, and finally a
grain a week. 1 have taken none now for
about two years. Once, years ago, 1
thought 1 was completely cured, and took
none for eighteen months, but the tits
came back and I began again on it at
once, and the medicine checked them. 1
would have surely been dead had it not
been for it, and now 1 r.m tolerably stout
for a man of my age, ivnd have a wife and
four children.”
“Were you married—”
“Yes,” he replied, quickly, anticipating
the question, “I was married after the
coloring began. I was engaged to be mar
ried before I commenced to take the medi
cine, and—well, sbe didn’t abandon me
because I grew ugly to look at. My mind
came back again, and I would rather have
the blue skin a thou sand times over again
than the disease.”
He pulled his' hat over his blackened
forehead, and resumed his impassive
switching of the clover blooms with his
crooked eane.
ONK OF ’US SCHEMES THAT
PAID.
The Crook Explains the Method of liß-
HV.'erinsr S* aled Letters.
Mew York Sun.
“1 haven’t had such a run of luck, •*’
said the crook, well dressed and con
tented, “since 1 was a medium. You
didn’t know there's lots of money in
spiritualism? Well, there is. I learned
the fake by reading in the pa]>er one day
about a medium who was locked up in
Ludlow street, and in whose rooms they
found three hundred letters. The same
day i went to an advertising agency and
inserted a card in ten Spiritualist papers
pretty well scattered over the country. It
read about as follows:
DR. JASPER MAN lIEVI LI.E, Broadway.
X. Y., editor Le Spirit*. Answers sealed
letters. Terms, $3 amt 10c. stamp.
"In two weeks I had eight letters and
three remittances; the third week it
jumped to thirty letters' and fourteen re
mittances; the eighth week I didn’t
count the letters, hut the boodles were up
to about forty. I’d have been working
the racket ever since, but some fellow
dropped on me and gave it away, and then
all the papers that published my ad.
denounced me, and sol knocked off. How
did Ido it? Simple as anything. I held
the envelope in the steam front th e nozzle
of a coffee pot till the gum was si ift; then
I opened it, read the letter, w ’rote an
answer on the same page, resealo 1 it, put
it in another envelope, and mailed it back.
I was dead square, because I kne\ v everv
fellow who got an answer would sh< twit to
his friends, and then they’d all write
themselves.
"One ot ’em was a regular ten-st rike. I
opened a letter and it read: ‘Are you a
fraud?’ I wrote across it in a heavy black
hand, ‘Never trifle with the other life.
One of your circle will soon be called
away.’ 1 don’t think it was more than a
week when I got a letter from the same
chap stating that his sister had just died,
and asking my pardon. That fluke must
have brought me a hundred letters. Any
wav, it made the fellow a red-hot Spirit
ualist, and he was better after that tha.n
any newspaper notice.
‘•lt was hard work sometimes to inven t
answers. For all sickness I recom -
mended some anti-bilious stuff; for ad
vice in love affairs 1 always gave Hades
to the object of my correspondent’s mash;
for forming spirit circles I gave all sort*
of opinions; but when it came to lost
articles I was bothered. Generally I
rushed off an answer that could be read a
dozen ways, with an intimation that
there was a thief in the neighborhood.
But there’s no show for brains now. In
January I thought I would try the racket
again under anew name. I got a Spirit
ualist paper, and was disgusted to find
over a dozen other crooks in the trade,
and competition so brisk that they had
dropped the ante to fifty cents. There
was no profit in the game, and so 1 didn’t
take a hand in.’*
A JAPANESE CREMATION.
An Established Usage in the Oldest Em
pire In the World—How Japanese
Bodies are Disposed Of.
Letter to Pall Jfall Gazette.
*ln the House of Commons recently
the Home Secretary, opposing the bill
introduced by Dr. Cameron, urged against
cremation that the • elder nations, more
particularly the Greeks, had never
adopted the’ practice. There is one na
tion, now the oldest empire in the world,
where cremation is an established usage,
and where the government, with shrewd
appreciation of the advantages of sani
tary laws, have of late years carefully
fostered it. This is Japan, where cre
mation establishments, under govern
ment control, are to be found in all the
chief cities. In Tokio, the principal place
of cremation is situated at Shei>-jo, a
suburb reached through long lines of
busy streets. It was fete day in the
neighborhood, and at the time of my visit
we approached it through a dense crowd
of holiday makers. The shops
were brightly lit. Jinrickshas
abounded, most of them hold
ing two, ar.d one at least four, persons,
two being babies. On these occasions the
Japan infant obtains a change of view and
position. For the most part it peers out
upon the world round the side of its moth
er's or sister’s head. But it being physi
cally impossible for a woman to sit in a
jinricksha with the everlasting baby at
her back, it is, on this occasion only,
slewed round to the front. Many of the
tea-houses in this quarter were brilliantly
illuminated with scores of lanterns. One.
which our guide said was a “goose house,”
had over a hundred, a tall pole running up
from before it hanging out a score. It
appears that the Japanese is rapidlv de
veloping carnivorous tastes. As the home
culinary department is not yet equal to
cooking joints, the-luxunous" Japanese of
the lower middle class goes out to a beef
bouse or a goose and duck house, and
feeds on the unfamiliar viand.
After an hour’s drive through a lane of
busy life we came to tbe silent house,
where the (lead awaited the last service
of the living. It stands a little apart
from the main road—a building of a single
story, with an innocent-looking tall chim
ney, and'might be connected with a pot
tery or a small iron foundry. The busi
ness is always conducted privately, and
there are few in Tokio, except those who
are proiessionally engaged, who have
witnessed the process. But arrange
ments made by tlie omnipotent foreign
minister opened the doors and secured a
respectful welcome for us. We were first
received in the house of the manager,
where tea was served in priceless porce
lain cups of Kutani ware. The furnace,
if so imposing a name may be used for a
process so simple, stood a few paces from
the house. On entering it there was noth
ing to be t*een but what appeared to be
two butter-tubs resting upon a tew fagots
of wood. There were several cavities
about two inches deep and a foot long in
the stone floor, and these were filled with
shavings. According to municipal law,
no burning is to be done before 6:30 in the
evening. It still wanted ten minutes to
that time, but in the circumstances the
manager thought he would be safe in an
ticipating the hour, and the shavings
were fired.
One of the men, kneeling before the
growing flame, fanned it with a piece of
svood. It caught the dry fagots, greedily
licked the sides of the tub. rose high in
the air, and then, with a horrible thud,
the head of the barrel burst outwards.
Quick as thought the man seized a large
piece ot wood, lying by in readiness, and
bid from sight whatever may have pro
truded. It is tbe boast of the skillful
cremator that under his supervision the
contents of the barrel are never exposed
to view. A heavy matting of wet straw
is laid over the length of the barrel before
the lire is Ignited. As the barrel is burned
away this falls in and covers the body.
In three hours tbe work is done. Every
particle of flesh is burned away, and there
remains only the skeleton. "The bones
and the -teeth the relatives collect and
give them sepulture.
There are three classes of cremation at
this establishment. In tbe first class
each body is burned separately, a charge
being made or 7 yen, equal to 28 shillings
in our money. In the second class the
charge is only 10 shillings, the difference
being that two or more, according to tbe
briskness of trade, are burned at the same
time. The third class pay 6 shillings 6
pence, the semblance of a coflin provided
by the tub being dispensed with. It will
he seen that, as compared with the most
moderate scale ot ordinary burial charges,
cremation is cheap. As far as I could
gather, it is this which recommends itself
to the class of Japanese, generally the
least wealthy, who avail themselves of the
resources at the establishment of Shen-jo
and kindred institutions.
AFTER YEARS OF BUTTONHOL
ING.
Mrs. IJruco Wins a l'ardon for her Hus
band as the Result of Tireless Lobby
ing.
A singular instance of a woman’s per
sistency and success as a lobbyist, says
a DesJloines (Iowa) special, to the New
York Sun, has just come to light here. In
1876 Edward Bruce, a wholesale liquor
dealer of Keokuk, tailed in business and
became dissipated. He had some business
dealings with 1\ McNamara, a grocer.
The latter had loaned him money on
several occasions, but when he refused to
accommodate Bruce any lurther a quarrel
ensued. Bruce tiifally drew a revolver
and tried to shoot, hut bystanders pre
vented, and a policeman confiscated his
weapon. Going home, Bruce took a nap,
and on waking he went down town, bought
another pistol, and ongoing to McNama
ra’s house shot him dead.
Tbe tragedy caused intense excitement
in Keokuk and vicinity, for it was con
sidered one of the most wanton and un
provoked murders ever perpetrated in the
State. Bruce was tried, convicted, and
sentenced to the penitentiary for life, and
everybody supposed that he would re
main there.
His wife set at work, however, without
delay to secure his pardon. She is an
attractive woman, of great force of
character and perseverance, and she has
not from the first entertained a doubt of
her ultimate success. When she an
nounced her intention of applying for his
release it was thought that she must be
crazy, for the difficulties to be overcome
seemed insuperable. In this State the
Governor cannot pardon a murderer
unless the Legislature recommends it.
To the members of the General Assembly
Mr6. Bruce turned attention.
At the outset she received little encour
agement, but as session followed session
and she appeared regularly each time,
tearful eyed, but apparentiy confident,
and seeming never to imagine that she
was asking" more than a mere personal
favor, it was noticed that her strength
increased. She was persistency itself.
No legislator could escape her. She
wm everywhere that the Solons were,
always imploring. When the Legisla
ture was not in session, she was busy
soliciting signatures to a petition, and
almost every man of prominence in the
State has at some time or other been
urged to add his name to her list.
At the last session, when it became
apparent that her gradually increasing
support had become formidable, the
frieuds of the murdered man bestirred
themselves, and in a few weeks they
rolled up a petition against her that was
five times tbe length" of hers, for it was
the’ general belief that her husband was
guttering a well-merited punishment.
Petit ions did not count much, however,
agaim't her buttonholing tactics. The
bill for tbe release of Bruce was intro
duced, aud sbe haunted the capitol at all
hours when she could find any one there
and pleaded for its passage.
When It was reached on the calendar
many effective speeches were made
against it, but on the announcement of
the vote it was found to have been car
ried by 5*5 against 40. In the Senate
less difficulty was experienced, though
the little woman was on hand all the
time until t be measure was disposed of.
She won in the higher body by a vote ot
26 against 13.
As soon as tAe bill had been passed she
disappeared frcm the capitol, and the
opponents of the pardon who had rolled up
the monster petit ions against it left them
with the Governo r and made up their
minds that be v/ov'-Id ignore the action
of the Assembly, as he legally could do.
In this they were mist aken.
It is learned here now that Bruce
walked out of the Fort Madison prison
the other day clad in citizen's cjothes;
that he was driven to a s mall station on
the Burlington road, where Mrs. Bruce,
equipped with many trunks for tra\eling,
joined hint, and that they took an evening
train bound for the North. I hey were
out of tbe State long before the news of
the Governor’s action was kno 'vu. While
there is some disposition to crincise him,
nearly everybody is willing to admit that
the wife has earned some sort of a reward
for her devotion and perseverance.lt is sup
posed that the reunited couple have gone
to Dakota, where Bruce’s father lives.
Ex-Speaker James W. Hlisted, of the
New York Legislature,
MAKES A FEW REMARKS.
“You did not go to Florida for your
cough and cold, as you proposed?”
“No! I found the necessary ozone and
and pine aroma in four Allcock’s Porous
Plasters, two on my back and two on my
chest. I was quickly cured; they proved
4 perfect shield against pneumonia. These
n 'asters also cured my son of rheumatism
in the shoulder, which for months defied
me dical skill. I have found them very
qui* ’k to cure and absolutely painless. In
bruises no external remedies can be more
effec five.”
“Al, ’cock’s” is the only genuine Porous
Plaste, 'j buy no other arid you will not be
cheated '•
LIFE IN THE WHITE HOUSE.
Some of the Drawbacks of Existence In
the Executive Mansion.
June Atlantic.
The mansion has beautiful points out
side and the taste of its present occupant
has made it very handsome within. But
it is not suitable for a private residence
and a public office at the same time. It
would admirably meet the purpose of
either; it can hardly serve the uses of
both. Few know how little available
space there is in it. The rooms are large,
some of vast size, but there are not many
of them. The halls are wide, the corri
dors long, the vestibules spacious. Four
large apartments are allotted to the ne
cessary secretaries, clerks, administra
tive functionaries of the government, tel
egraph operators, etc. The grand reception
room occupies the entire east wing of the
first floor; the smaller reception rooms
lead from it; the State banqueting hall is
an enormous apartment. This leaves but
limited space inflow for private needs,
dining room and parlor. Up stairs, be
sides the rooms lor government work al
ready mentioned, there is an apartment
devoted to the meetings of the Cabinet,
the library and a State chamber. There
remain hut five chambers lor the use of
the family, which, if it happens to he
large, may overflow its accommodations
and must be very small to akiow a suita
ble entertainment of guests, who cannot
be received in any number.
But these things, though bad enough,
are not the worst by any means. Tbe
victim in the White House has no private
life, to speak of. He belongs to the na
tion; be has been placed there by the
choice of the people, and they assume the
right to see him as often as' they feel in
clined. which may be at any hour in tlie
day. The demand for his presence and
service is incessant. It is forgotten, ap
parently, that the man has a personal as
well as an official side, but he must be a
gentleman now and then, that he cannot
be President all the time, that he is not
the property of the - community at large,
that he must have his special friends, that
he must enjoy the human privilege of re
fusing the visits of strangers, that he is
excusable for guarding against intrusion
and has no more responsib lity outside of
his official duties than the ordinary citi
zen has, who is let alone at his home and
is at liberty to put the affairs of bis shop
behind him when business is over. This
is no fancied grievance. The President is
a very busy man, full of cares and need
ing quiet, rest in tbe society of family or
friends, more than most, together with
social amenities of a various kind. Espe
cially ho needs to be fora part of each day
taken out of the associations of his office
and placed where his mind can be refreshed
by other concerns than those ot the public.
He will work better, more heartily, more
cheerfully, more effectually for such a re
spite.
There are two way3 of bringiug about
this most desirable change; either the
present edifice might be given over wholly
to business, for which it is admirably
adapted, and even now is none too large,
in which case the President’s house might
be situated wherever convenience prompt
ed, at a distance from the building that
contained the office, where, by appoint
ment, he would find himself at certain
hours out of the twenty-four; or the busi
ness might be carried to another part of
the town aiuj the White House be assigned
to the President for his private residence.
The former plan is preferable for several
reasons. In the first place, the mansion
is designed for a public purpose. No pri
vate dwelling otters such facilities tor re
ceptions and dinners, which must be given
on a grand scale. In the next place, the
increasing business of the country will
be furthered by tbe aid to concentration
that so large a mansion affords. Then the
habits of the multitude who flock to the
house on practical errands will not be in
terrupted. Experience shows the diffi
culty, not to say the impossibility, of
breaking up such habits, and tbe removal
of the President’s private house would
render the effort to break them up unne
cessary. The present amphibious ar
rangement, besides being a public dis
grace, is a singular piece of foolishness in
a community that prides itself on its good
sense in getting out of the people it em
ploys the utmost they are capable of per
forming. The actual President is crip
pled in his working faculty by the fretting
annoyances to which he is now subjected.
A thick-skinned person may not complain
of this ceaseless notoriety—nay, may like
it; but a sensitive man must feel it keenly.
HALF PENNIES NEEDED.
Toys, Candies, and Small Articles that
Can be Sold for Less tlian a Cent.
A little boy in knickerbockers, says the
New York Sun, trotted into an up-town
toy store, put his left hand on the counter
and pulled himself upon his toes until his
nose was on a level with the top of the
counter. Then he put down a penny with
his right hand, looked up into the matron
ly face of the saleswoman and said,
“Top.”
The woman picked up the penny, turned
arojnd to a big pasteboard box, picked
two little red-stained, iron-pointed cones
of wood from it, and handed them to the
boy. who ran out with dimples showing
around his mouth.
“Why did you give him two when he
said ‘top?’” the saleswoman was asked.
“Because they are half a cent each, and
I could not make change. Do you know
there is a real need for a coin represent
ing half a cent? You needn’t smile. It
is the fact. Any small dealer of intelli
gence will say so. If you remember what
you have read about the West you know
that in certain regions there the penny
and the nickel even were unknown. The
penny was introduced into St. Louis just
four years ago by a cheap newspaper.
This summer San Francisco has received
the copper shower through the same
agency. The progress of thrift has de
monstrated the necessity for the small
coin out there. It created a sensation,
and there was much opposition at first.
The progress of thrift has reached a stage
in the East where a coin smaller than the
cent is needed. Look at the French.
They are in the matter of thrift, models
for the civilized world. Their centime is
just one-tifth of our cent.”
“But there is nothingtobe bought here
for half a cent except a top.”
The saleswoman gave her head a toss
which disarranged her back hair. As she
bent her head slightly forward and re
adjusted the hair pins with both hands,
she said: “If you sold toys or candy
or cakes or notions or dry goods or hard
ware or drugs or vegetables you would
know better than that. Did you ever hear
of a woman buying a yard of shilling
dress goods? YVby should sht* be com
pelled to pay thirteen cents? You should
remember that Poor Richard’s theory of
looking after the pennies is the only one
which enables wage workers to get a
balance at the savings bank.”
“But think of how the little ones would
be put off with only a half penny where
now they get a whole cent’s worth of toys
or candy.” •
“I have thought of it. They would get
lpore of the half pennies. They would
not suffer so much as they do now. Be
sides, the new coin would bring a flood of
new articles, made to meet it. There
would be the same supplies for half a cent
that are now sold for a cent. The prices
at the dry goods stores where competition
is strong would be graduated to tbe half
cent. The mere tact that people could re
duce their, expenses by even so small a
sum would make them more thrifty. A
new coin would mean anew prosperity.”
Sir Joseph FayKeb, who has been investi
gating snake poisoning, says that to him one
of the greatest of mysteries is that a poison
ous snake cannot poison one of its species,
scarcely its own congeners, and only slightly
any venomous snake; but it kills innocent
snakes quickly. A vigorous colira can kill
several dogs, or from a dozen to twenty fowls
before its bite becomes impotent, and then the
immunity is of brief duration, for the virus is
rapidly re-secreted.
