No man could tell him that it was road and spacious turnpike where troops ild march in unbroken file, for he knew he contrary.

Tbs Friends of the Dead General Coming to the Relief of llUFetnllj, New Yobk, February 11.—General Han cock baa left hia family without meana. He died poor, and the fact being known to his friendsuud comrades a subscriptions fund has been started for his widow. The plan was originated by ex-police commis sioner General \V. F. (Baldy) Smith, Gen eral J;B Fry, William Burns and T.‘L. Crittenden. J. Pierrepont Morgun is treas urer of the fnnd. Already the fund hes begun its growth, these sums having bei n [signed:] Samuel J. Tilden (head of tho list) $1,100, William It. Grace $500, M. 1! Brown $250, John D. Crummius $250. The subscription paper reads thus in opening: “Another great man ha. died poor— another noble woman has been left with a meagre support, though she shared the for tunes of her husband and did her full part iu making his fame.” Phimdeuphia, February 11.—As soon as it became known here that Gen. Hancock hod no adequate fortune to leavo hia widow, a movement was at once set on foot to raise a fnnd for her benefit This fund has been stinted by a gift of $1,000 each by A- 8. Drexel and Geo. W. Childa, and the gifts have been conpled with a promise of more, if necessary. The Ledger to-morrow will contain the foUowing editorial article upon the subject: The movement to raise a fund for the widow of Gen. Hancock took form as sooq as the suggestion from Philadelphia, to which we referred yesterday, reached his friends in New York city. A circular was prepared and issued without delay over the signatures of Gens, James B. Fry, F. L. Crittenden, William F. Smith and W. W. Bums, in which they state, ‘Liberal and pat riotic citizens have suggested to tho intimate friends of Gen. Han cock and his widow that a fund be raised for the benefit of his family. We, knowing Gen. Hancock’s circumstances and the drafts upon hia pay by tho endless char ities to which he responded, especially those resulting from the civil war, earnestly com mend the suggestion. The language of the cir ular just quoted puts the caBe in very moderate terras-. The appeal may be placed upon mnch stronger grounds, and has been so pnt in a letter to Mr. Childs from James 11. Fry, one of the signers of tbe foregoing circular. ‘You will observe,’ wrote Gen. Fry, ‘that the statement upon the sub scription list is general in its terms. I may say to you that the facts os to General Hancock’s financial affairs would justify stronger lungnagn than we used. While he wiw economical in all things, tho demand that pressed upon him for aiding destitute followers and old sol diers were so constant und heavy that in spite of all he could do he fell behind. The salary of his lowest clerk would met all that ho and Mrs. Hancock spent on them selves. All the rest of their income went for the good of those who needed it. I need not point out to you the goodness of heart that is the cause of tho present pov erty of General Haucock’a widow. No words aro needed to add either force or dig nity to that statement made with soldier's directress and the fore of plain tmth. We trust that tbe appeal made in sncli simple terms and backed with such force of gener ous fact may receive a hearty responso as in the case of General Hancock's illustrions comrades." FHE LONDON RIOTS. A RICHMOND BOYCOTT. A Sleeting of Citizen* Called to Discuss the Meeting.

The matter was dis cussed at length and a general desire ex pressed for an amicable settlement of tho trouble. Thu chairman was authorized to appoint a committee to cunvass the city for signatures to call for a public meeting of all in sympathy with the boycotted merchants, to bo held at a time and place hereafter to bo named.

BLUNDERING POLICEMEN By Tlieir Stupidity Cause the Burnldf of a Number of Horses. St. Louis, February 11.—J. P. Mnltalis’s livery and sale stables were burned at an early this morning. The fire originated in the bay-loft from some unknown cause, and spread so rapidly that it was well under way before the tire department arrived. Tho employes of the establishment who were on the scene at tho time tnrned their attention first to saving the horses, sixty- five iu number, and had taken seven of them from the burning bnilding when two policemen arrived, and thinking that the employes were thieves, clubbed them into insensibility, and thus destroyed tbe only chance of saving the stock, and the remain ing titty-eight were burned to death. Another Violent Demonstration—Stores Sacked by the Slob. [By Anglo-American Cable. London, February 10.—The estimate heretofore made of the losses inflicted by the mob on Monday appears to have been greatly too small. Official estimates places the amount of damage at £80,000. Various socialistic and labor reform societies threat en -to have a monster demonstration at Hyde Park next Suturday, to be nttended by contingents of laborers from the coun try. Shops are being closed and barricad ed everywhere throughout the city. News was received at 3 p. m. in thia city that n mob of roughs which hud assembled at Deptford were marching toward the city smashing windows and wrecking the fronts of houses along the route. A panio pre vailed among the residents of the portion of the city which the mob was likely to traverse. Police and troops were in readi ness to prevent tho mob from assuming tbs proportions of that of Monday and com mitting similar excesses. At 3:3C the Dept ford mob reached the Hop Exchange, in Southwalk, nearly five miles from tho start ing point of inarch. The mob was enor mously increased by constant accessions during its progress. All shops were closed. The police secured all bridgea spanning the Thames and ore prepared to resist all attempts on the part of tho mob to cross. The authorities warned all trades men doing business in the Strand,Cockspur street, PaU-Mnll and Regent Btreet to ex pect disorder to-night, and to immediately take steps to protect their property. The mob on its way toward the Thames swung through the New Kent road and Newing ton causeway. They sacked several email shops along the way. They stopped at the mammoth establishment of Wm. Tarn & Co.. This establishment covers ground from and including Nos. h to 21 on New Kent road and 195 to 173 Newington Cause way and is devoted to the trade in limn, Bilks, men's and womens’ clothing, boots and shoes, carpets, ironware, bedding, fur niture, etc. Tho building was under police protection, but thejmob overawed oncers, sacked the sIoto, and when they retired the building was badly wrecked. The police were informed that tho mob was composed of a largo number of roughs wbo organized to attack tho city emporiums and banks. Snob stores as remained open closed and barred their windows ready to close their doors ot a moments notice. Groups of anxious people stood about in the streets discussing the situation. The 'newspapers printed extras, and these were eagerly bought. At (i p. m., it was announced that the mob bad dispersed. No conflict with the authorities has yet occurred. A socialistic meeting is to be held this evening at Cumberland market at 5:30 o’clock. Two and a half honn before the honr annonneed for the assemblage, over a thousand men were on the ground waiting to attend the meeting. Tho crowd wae being constantly augmented by accessions from Trafalgar square. Cavalry from Albany and large bodies of police have been ordered to remain in readiness to preserve order at the Cumberland meeting. A movement has been inaugurated to se cure a meeting of all tbc London members of the House of Commons, both Liberal and Conservatives, to devise m.asnres for the immediate relief ot distress in London. It is proposed to have the meeting depute a strong committeee to nrge the cabinet to take action in tbe matter. Warrants have been issued for the arrest of several Socialists believed to have been leading spirits in the riots of Monday. These warrants have been placed for execu tion in tbe hands of a Scotland Yard detec- tivo, who expects to have the arrests all tnndo by midnitiht. By 8 o'clock a crowd that numbered many thousands had gathered nt tho Cum berland market. The lower criminal classes of London were there intent upon harrass- ing and insulting tho police. At 9 o'clock, Hyndman, Willi unis and other Socialist leaders arrived and vi-ora greeted with up roarious shouts of welcome. They held a consultation and resolved to abandon the attempt to hold a meeting to-night, because they said the dense fog that prevailed pre vented them distinguishing unemployed working men from criminals and those wbo aro idle volunteering. The announce ment was then made the meeting was ad journed nnlil Tuesday next. As the crowd suddenly dispersed, cheering for tho Social ist lender, the disorderly clement in tho gathering again made itself manifest Tho police were jeorod and stoned, bnt they easily drove thcii assailant" from tlie ground. Tho vigorous action ot the police of South London to-day is in marked contrast with tho inaction of the A PATHETIC STORY. The Sad Uxperlence or a Macon Man In the ••City by the Sen." The following letter, tbe English and composition ot which have been slightly modified, brings to light a ease that pos sesses some interest.

Charlie soon took sick, I tried to do as I could for him, and moved him from Miss Fisher's house to a negro's house. But all 1 did could not save him.

It was laid on tho table. In the afternoon session, the matter of holding the State fair was was taken np. The president stated that Atlanta and Mu- con were tho only cities that had submitted propositions.

Coi.eur.rH, February 19.—Iu the State Agricultural Convention this morning a solution won intrmluced by Air. Massey, of Macon county, asking the Legislature to caLihlish experimental agricultural stations in each congressional district; but it wus laid on the table for the rime being and al lowed to remain there. CjI. 3. A. Coleman, of Conyers, delivered an address on “The dignity of the farmers' profc"iou in comparison with that of other profession*." It was a very interesting addri". but he rather dropped off his snb- ject at one time to remark tuat it wits prob- EX-GOVERNOR SMITH'S ADDRESS. Delivered Before tlie btate Agricultural Convention nt Columbus. Columbus Enquirer-Sun. The president stated that Dr. Felton had not arrived, and that ex-Governor Smith had been invited to occnpy his time. He then introduced Governor Smith ns one of the original supporters of the Agricultural Department, aud who had always been the friend of the society nnd tho farmers. Governor Smith didn't think he lied been treated fairly in this matter. He had been selected to take tbe place of Dr. Felton. Ho knew Dr. Felton, and ha knew him to be a most magnetic man and a true man to the interesta of tbe people as be understood them. He had been asked to talk about farming. He said he knew nothing abont farming. He had been listening to the S roceedings, and he had concluded that je great question with tho farmers 1*, what to do. He said the great trouble waa that too mnch attention we* given to chemistry and scientific farming, and too little to work. What the farmer* wanted to do was to go to work. Chemistry was good enough to read about on Sunday afternoon* when j on wanted to go to sleep, but it don't make corn and meat. One of tho great troubles of this country was the lack of labor. The (aimer* haven't got tbe labor that they can control. He Raid that ho had a plantation—God pity him ! Ho never know that hi* wife bnd a plantation until after he had married her, and when he found it ont he asked her why ahe didn't let him know it before they made an agreement. He knew the difficulties of owning a plantation. lle went down to hiy plantation mid uindo very great im provements and lnrnished Ul* negroes with supplies without interest. During tho year he ruado a visit to hia plantation aud jnst before ho reached there he saw a great crowd nnd a great commotion—his negroes were playing baseball. The trouble i* tho negroes won't work, but they live, aud somebody has to pay for it lie wanted to ■ee every man, white or black, who would not work for a living put ou the chaiiigaug. Eighteen-year-old negro boys aro loafing around the streets with a blacking brush under their arms, and they ought to be be hind the plow. He waa not afraid to ntterhis sentiments, because be is no candidate and didn't want anybody’s vote. He intended to speak out. What tbe farmers wanted to do was to work more—that is tbe only way to make bread and meat. He thought the biggest mistake he ever made waa when he quit the black- smith trade. He did not want to be underetood as op- josed to education. It took a smart mao lo be a farmer. He believed be could run tbe State Government very well, bat if be had sense enough to run a four mule farm he hoped somebody would kill biin. In reference to tbe $2,600 appropriated to tbe old agricultural eocie'y, no said it belonged to the present society and ought to be [laid to it? Not only ought they to get it now, bnt tboy ought to get beck rations. If the executive would not give it to them, they ought to get an cxuculive that will. He was not a candidate himself and didn’t expect to be, but be hoped to live long enough to see a man in in tbe exe cutive chair who bail the moral courage to do right. He again took up tho labor question, and spoke et length upon the the negro and his Continuing, he said that he had been one of the original friends of the agricultural department nnd was a friend to it yet Tho best thing the farmers could do woh to always keep a good man at the head of that department lie said he didn't know anything abont intensive farming and be was again <t it He thought that more work and less scienco was the way to farm. He urged the convention to insitt on a geological survey of tbe State.

At noon on Ootober 21, when ten miles southeast of Kanelang Island, in the Flores Sea, the steamship Hampshire sighted tho track of a large whale, and shortly after ward a number of men were obaerved about four miles away off on tho port bow. Tho ship's course was immediately altered, r.ntt we ran down to the men, ten in number, who were cliugiug to some bamboos which had floated from the wrecked vessel.

One of the crew went forward, and, looking over tho bow, discerned a hrgo fish, which hod been struck by the vessel clean in tho centre and was bent slightly on each aide. A boat kook was brought and tlie fish securely caught under the gill, but it waa so heavy that It took aix of the crew to haul it ou deck.
