A Hermit’s Floating Home.
Anchored in the ’Frisoo bay is a lit
tle old craft, originally a sloop, but
now nothing bnt a hnlk, without mast
or rigging- It is the floating home of
Riohard Smith, a matine hermit, who
believes that he is to be a second Noah.
He predicts that San Francisco and
Oakland will sink into the sea because
of their wickedness, and then a few of
the select will come to him and be
saved from death on bis rudderless
craft. He believes that he has been
inspired to live in the water to avoid
the destruction, and he is awaiting to
preserve the chosen of the Order of
the Messiah.
Smith is seventy years old, with a
long gray beard and long gray hair.
He wears no covering on head or feet.
He is a bachelor and has lived a her
mit’s life for thirty years. He lives
by faith alone and is on the verg of
starvation. He could catch plenty of
fish from his ard, bnt would rather
die than eat anything of the animal
world, subsisting entirely on pan
cakes, beans and potatoes. He for
merly traveled on foot throughout the
state, pushing a wheelbarrow filled
with religious books, which he sold.
The latter day Noah is a firm adhe

FREDERICK DOUGLASS DEAD.
He Was the Foremost Leader Among
Colored Men.
A Washington special Bays: Fred
erick Douglass, the foremost leader of
the negro race in the world and one
of the most picturesque characters in
American history, died Wednesday
night at his home in the suburb of
Auacostia. His death was sudden and
unexpected, as he had been in appa
rent good health up to the day of his
death.
Frederick Douglass was born in
Tuckahoe, near Easton, Talbot county,
Maryland, February, 1817. His mother
was a negro slave and his father a
white man. He was a slave on the
plantation of Colonel Edward Loyd
until at the age of ten he was sent to
Baltimore to live with a relative of his
master.
He learned to read and write from
one of his master’s relatives, to whom
he was lent when about nine years of
age. His master later allowed him to
hire his own time for three dollars a
week, and he was employed in a ship
yard, and in accordance with a reso
lution long entertained, fled from Bal
timore and from slavery, September
3, 1838. He made his way to New
York, thence to New Bedford, Mass.,
where he married and lived for two or
three years, supporting himself by day
labor on the wharves and in various
workshops. While there he changed
his name from Loyd to Douglass.
He was aided in his efforts in self
education by William Loyd Garrison.
In the summer of 1841, he attended
an anti-slavery convention at Nan
tucket, and made a speech which was
so well received that he was offered
the agency of the Massachusetts Anti
Slavery Society. In this capacity he
traveled and leotured through the New
England states for four years. Large
audiences werejattractedjby his his graphic
descriptions of slavery and elo
quent appeals. and
In 1845 he went to Europe lec
tured on slavery to enthusiastic audi
ences in nearly all the large towns of
England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales.
In 1846 his friends in England con
tributed 8750 to have him manumitted
in due form of law. He remained
two years in Great Britain and in 1847
began at Rochester, N. Y., the publi
cation of “Frederick Douglass’ Pa
per,” whioh title was changed to “The
North Star,” a weekly journal, which
he contributed to for some years. His
supposed implication in the John
Brown raid in 1859 led Governor Wise,
of Virginia, to make a requisition
for his arrest upon the governor of
Michigan, where he then was, and in
consequence of this Douglass went to
England, and remained six or eight
months. He then returned to Roch
ester and continued the publication of
his paper.
W r hen the civil war began in 1861,
he urged upon President Lincoln the
employment of colored troops and the
proclamation of emancipation. In
1863, when permission was given to
employ such troops, he assisted in en
listing men to fill colored regiments,
especially the 54th and 55th Massa
chusetts.
His Career as a Lecturer,
After the abolition of slavery, he
discontinued his paper and applied
himself to the preparation and deliv
ery of lectures before lyceums. In
September, 1870, he became editor of
the Hew National Era, in Washing
ton, which was continued by his sons,
Lewis and Frederick. In 1871 he was
appointed assistant secretary to the
commission to Santo Domingo; and
on his return President Grant ap
pointed him one of the territorial
connoil of the District of Columbia.
In 1872 he was appointed elector at
large for the state of New York, and
was appointed to carry the electoral
veto to Washington. In 1876 he was
appointed United States marshal for
the District of Columbia, which office
he retained until 1881, after which he
became recorder of deeds in the dis
triot, from which office he was removed
by President Cleveland in 1886.
In the autumn of 1886 he revisited
England to inform his friends of what
progress he had made as a fugitive
slave of the African race in the United
States, with the intention of spending
the winter on the continent and the
following summer in the United States,
His published works are entitled,
“Narrative of my Experience in Sla
very,” Boston, 1844: “Life and Times
of Frederick Douglass,” Hartford,
1881; “My Bondage and My Free
dom,” Rochester, 1855.

“Did you do that on purpose, sir?”
“Yes, sir!” was the prompt reply.
“Wanted to pick a fuss, did you?”
“I wanted to teach you manners.
It isn’t manners for a man to stretch
