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.

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 je, was tlie answer, “although he may be. “Tu what do you attribute the atten tions that have been showered upon him abroad?” “In the first place, to his renown as a soldier.

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. “A poet is to lie hanged in England.” this boasted land of freodora and in is this Doasieu muu m —_ ~. telligence—this land flowing with— -=*V_ we Il, with a great manv things— ib to sit supinely on her hind legs and see England, her rival, making^rap id strides toward a perfect civilization without making an effort to surpass her?

Then she committed suicide. the and ride 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 & | ”o., Bankers, 57 Exchange Place, N. Y, City. ^ 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.
