A Talk With Col- Hayes, of
Ohio.
| ChicagoTisqM. a-* <.l»-
“During the campaign which resulted
I Sent you Boated that you would not
be a candidate for re-election. Of
coune you still adhere to that declare-
lion?”
"I do; and by so doing I am enabled
to do more good, according to my abil
ity, than it would (jtyerwise be in my
r iwer to accomplish.' In the first place,
can set an example worthy of iraita-
1 lion, and in accordance with the genius
of oar institutioDfl, the purport of
which is that a President can be a
President without.being.a candidate for
re-election. Of course, with the infin
ite number of Wires at -my disposal, I,
I or anybody else in ray-position, Cculd
I exercise n powerful influence upon a
I campaign, were I disposed to do it.
And again, not being hampered with
any mspicions of a desire’ for personal
advancement, I can discharge what I
I conceive to be ray duty without fear of
I misrepresentation.”
The reporter asked Mr. Hayes if, in
bii allusions to a-seoond term, he in
tended covertly to, reflect upon General
I Orant’s prospective candidacy, and he
I hastened to protest that he did not-have
I (he Genetal in mind at the time. Grant
I m out of tho office, he said, and coh-
I sequentiy had no patronage at his com-
1 maud. He (Mr. Hayes) was speaking
I solely with reference to himself, ana
I the comparative freedom which been-
I joyed because he was not a candidate.
I “If it is not leading question, I would
I like to as if you do not regard Grant
| as the probable nominee of the Repub-
I bean party,” said the reporter.
I “I am bv no means sure th
n a m by no means sure that he will

be.
“Tu what do you attribute the atten

abroad?”

The Mojada Mines.
Antonio Letter in Galveston Nowi.
I have received several letters asking
r information about tho Mexican
Leadville. There is no doubt that the
mines are rich, but there are discrepan
cies. If I had an enemy, I would bor-
money from some friend to pay
enemy’s espenses to the Sierra Mo-
. a. Even if the whole range of moun
tains werejeomposed of pure silver, what
good does it do a fellow if his wife is a
widow ? Now, if tho American gets
there all. right, if neither Indians nor
the Mexicans hold an inquest or so on
him, and administer on his estate, he
is not going to find the comforts of
home wheh he gets there, it being 125
miles to the nearest saloon or - bakery.
Let us suppose the American gets there,
and having complied with all the com
plicated requirements of the Mexican
mining laws, and has begun to dig out
the ore, he will have to pay the Gov
ernment thirty-five cents on the dollar
to start on. The coinage, porterage,
and finally stealage, will bring the cost
of the dollar up to about 115 cents.
But let us imagine, for the sake of ar
gument, that the newly-arrived Ameri
can falls right into the lap of luxury,
and digs out pure silver by the bucket
ful. Just about this time there will be
a cry at night of “Death to the Grin
gos !” Not one, single, solitary blonde
Saxon will ever reoross the Rio Grande.
Does anybody suppose our great and
good Government will care a continent
al how many Anu-ricans are Yazooed
over in Mexico ? I f so, let me call his
attention to the fact that the United
States has .never yet expressed official
disapprobation when 400 armed Mexi
cans invaded Texas, occupied El Faso
county for a week and murdered half
a dozen American citizens,among them
several officials. If this great American
e pluribus unum Government sanctions
that, what protection will it give Ameri
cans who go 400 miles into the interior
of Mexico after filthy lucre, and won’t
vote at the next Presidential election,
anyhow ? I am inclined to think Mem
phis is a healthier place just now.
The very old Lady in Skye.
There is a remarkable old lady in
_ ije. Widow Macpherson entered upon
her 106th year lost Christmas. She was
born there in the same year that Dr.
Samuel Johnson and Boswell visited
Skye, and met with Flora Macdonald,
the Jacobite heroine, who befriended
Prince Charlie after his disastrous de
feat at Culloden, in 1746, when the Gov
ernment reward of £30,000 offered for
his surrender did not induce her to be
tray her trust and yield up this sole sur
vivor of a fallen dynasty. During the
105 years of widow Macpherson’s life
she was living in u turf hut, the smoke
from the peat fire on the hearth finding
its way out by every crevice, and giving
a lustre, as if varnished, to the rafters
which support the thatched roof. She
has survived six Lords of the Isle, the
present being the seventh, Lord Mac
donald. She has never been out of the
island, and does not understand ono
word of English, but converses freely
in Gaelic. She has been blind for ten
ears, but her hearing and memory are
joth good, and she is nursed by her
daughter Kitty, who is unwearied in her
attendance upon her old mother.
Colored
Lord Kilmorey, whose large estate
lies in Midland county, England, being
“desirous of testing how far the lettint;
value of his farms has been aftected, *
has served notices on all his tenants,, as
the only conclusive method , of obtain
ing the information he desires, is “to
throw the farms into the market and
see what they will fetch.” The London
Truth makesthiBcomment: “Thofarm
ers where this property lies have been
working at a loss for some time past, as
the American competition has seriously
affected their market. Cheeses have
been sold lately at a reduction of over
50 per cent., the grain cropB ore wretch
ed, and the turnips even worse. It
may well be imagined, therefore, the
dismay with which Lord Kilmorey s
exasperating circular has been received.
Four borso thieves were captured in
Cole county, Ark., but a fifth, John
Cole, esoaped. While the prisonere
were being transferred from one jail to
another, heavily ironed, and guarded
’ B i x officers, Cole suddenly confronted
uie party in a lonely road, presented a
pair of revolvers, drove off the posse,
and rescued his friends. But his ex-
ploit was so exasperating to the people
;hat they pursued and Killed him, al
though in his final resistance he seri
ously wounded two of them.

Democratic
Baltimore.
Clubs in
A meeting of eolored voters of the
Twentieth ward was held on Monday
night at Hartzell’s Hall, Baltimore, and
ganized a Wm. T. Hamilton Club,
alter Sorrell, President of the Central
Club, called the meeting to order. Per
manent officers ’ were eleoted. The
President. Daniel Young, said, in ac
cepting the position, he did it boldly
and without fear; they would meet with
opposition, but bis advice was to “be
solid.”. He had fought three years and
half in the service of the United States
for the fredom of just such men as he
saw before him. The Republicans
wanted him to canvass for them in this
campaign, but he was too smart for
their dirty tricks. He arraigned that
party for doing so little for the colored
people, and said that if the Republi
can party had been true to them they
would have been true to it. They did
not ask or expect office from the Demo
crats. All they wanted was to be recog
nized aB citizens, and to have their vote
counted as good as any.
Resolutions were unanimously adopt
ed, by a rising vote, “That believing the
principles of the Democratic party are
i;rue, liberal and encouraging to our
race, and that its success will tend to
our material advantage in every way,
we will pledge ourselves to use every en
deavor proper and consistent to forward
its interest and secure its success;” also
counselling harmony and the discon
tinuance of all distracting independent
movements, etc. Remarks were made
Walter Sorrell, Isaiah Harden, of
rederiok county, and others.
In the Sixteenth ward two colored
Republican clubs were formed.
An Income Without. Care.
By the combination method of oper
ating in stocks handsome income can
ce secured without care. Capital in
any amount, from $10 to $50,000, may
be used with equal proportionate suc
cess. By this system Messrs. Lawrence
Co., Bankers, N. Y., pool the orders
of thousands of customers, of various
sums, into one vast amount, and co-op
erate them under the most skillful man
agement, dividing profits monthly.
Each share-holder thuB obtains all the
advantages of the largest capital and
experienced skill, and the percentage
of profits is very great; $20 will pay
$100 in 30 days; $250 will return $1,-
825, or 7i per cent, on the stock, and so
on. as the market varies. A prominent
ublisher of the Rock Island (Ill.)
aily Argus, made $104.15 on an in
vestment of $20, in Ootober. Hun
dreds of others are doing even better. 1
Messrs. Lawrence & Co.’s new circular
has “two unerring rules for success in
stock operations’’ and full information,
so that any one can deal in stocks. All
kinds of bonds and stooks wanted.
New Government bonds supplied. De-
josits received. Apply to Lawrence &

A robber found Winnie Roberts, aged
Bixteen, alone in a farmhouse at Wades-
burg, Mo. He commanded her to give
him all the money in the building, but
she refused. After searching a little,
and finding only $10, he threw her on
a bed, drew a pistol and swore that he
would kill her if she did not give the
information. Sho thrust her hand un
der the pillow, leading him to suppose
that she was getting some money, but
what she drew out was a revolver, with
which she shot him twioe.
An instance of heredity in crime is
furnished by Elias Phillips, of Free
town, Mass., who recently appeared as
a witness in a burglary trial, having
turned State’s evidence. He is a great-
grandson of Malbone Briggs, a notorious
criminal, who was in State prison with
seven of his sons at one time. Briggs’
ancestry is traced back to a noted pirate
in the time of Earl Bellamont, and his
branch of the family have for over a
oentury furnished noted criminals in
every generation.

extonding over tho greater part of my body. I
have taken gallons of medieinea for the blood of
different kinds and tried good physicians, all of
which did me no good, and I eamo to tho eonelu

ealled my attention to an artlelo in the Union

Tho first application was a great relief, and the
third took the seales all off, and I felt like a
new man. I havo used three 60 cent boxes and
my skin is smooth, and I consider myself en
tirely oured. Hoping that this may be seen by
some one alflioted as I have been (if there Is
any) is my earnest wish. And I cheerfully rec
ommend it to all persons afflicted with like dis
