Gen- Longstreet not a Pauper-
Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 20.—Some clays apo
the Atlanta Constitution published a
strong and touching appeal for contribu-
tions to a fund for the relief of Gen. Long-
street, and described the old soldier : s
"broken in health, helpless from wounds
and sadly straitened in circumstances."
This appeal was based upon the belief
that Gen. Longstreet's acceptance a few
days before of the btate's bounty of $25
arose from necessity. First came a letter
from Mrs. Longstreet begging that the
efforts to raise a relief fund be discontinu-
ed. and that the money already contribu-
ted be returned to the subscribers.
"The General,"' Mrs. Longstreet says,
"though far from being rich, is able with
what he owns, to live in comparative com-
fort for the remainder of his life." To
day Gen. Longstreet writes: "This ac-
tion is not authorized nor warranted by
f.icts. We may trust that it was sugges-
ted by kindly motives. I beg that you
will return all remittances that may be
made in m y favor to those who may be so
generous as to offer them."
The incident has served one purpose,
however, and that is that the years of es-
tiangement between Longstreet and his
old soldiers, because of political differ-
ences, was easily set aside. The warmest
expressions come to Longstreet from all
quarters. It is also remarkable that the
j first cash contribution whieh was receiv-
! ed came from a Federal soldier who hap-
! pened to be passing through the city,
i lie was James Tuit, of Jersey City, and
j had served through the war as a member

Mrs. Satow's Sad Story-
Mr. Hngo Satow, a saloon keeper of
No. 61' Grand street, was arraingned in
the Essex Market Police Court yesterday
«>n a charge of abandonment preferred
by his wife, Mrs Gestine Satow. The lat-
ter, who was only released yesterday from
the Blackwell's 'island Lunatic Asylum,
where she had been confined since Dec.
23, told a very strange stery. She said
that she was married to her husband sev-
en years ago.
They had very little money at the time,
but by close management and hard work
at her trade of dressmaking she managed
to save enough money to buy the saloon
at No. *> I Grand street for her husband.
The latter was soon doing a good busi-
ness, anil as he became richer he began
to care less tor his wife. He made the
acquaintance of two sisters who reside in
the neighborhood of Ffty-third street and
Third Avenue, and spent all his loose

ment and giving them carriage rides.

Franklin Osgood at Rest-
The funeral services ot the remains of
the late Franklin Osgood, the prominent
yachtsman, who died at his home on Fri-
day last, were held yesterday ai Grace
Church in the presence of a large number
of people. The services were conducted
by Rev. Dr. Huntingdon, the rector, as-
sisted by Rev. G. D. Johnson.
The regular Episcopal service was read
in an impressive manner, and on its con-
clusion the casket was slowly borne down
the centre aisle followed by the chief
mourners, with the deceased's brother,
W. H. Osgood, and his bereaved widow
in the lead. The other mourners who
followed were Mrs. George H. Appleton,
sister of deceased, and her two!daughters,
George Abercrombe, Mrs. Frazer and
sister and Mrs. C. C. Reynolds.
The deceased was known as one of the
most fearless yachtmen in the city. His
most celebrated exploit was in the §1,000
race with the Yesta, in which he kept up
all sails in a gale of wind, and the two
races in which he successfully defended
the American cup, with the Magic against
the Cambria in 1869, and in the following
year with the schooner Columbia against
the Livonia.
Among the number who followed the
remains to their last resting place in
Greenwood Cemetery were Alfred C.
Grimes, William A. Hiiies, E. E. Chase,
ex-Commodore of the New York Yacht
Club; ex-Alderman Jenkins Van Schaick,
Daniel S. Appleton, and a host of others.

The All Night Dance in Whieri "Ole Vir-

Mr. W. J. Bok, of Brooklyn, is in
receip of the following letter from
Mrs. telvaA. Lockwood, candidate for
the Presidency on the Equal Rights
ticket in 1884:
Washington, Jan. 18,—Dear Sir. I
am in receipt of copies of the New
York World, containing a reference to
myself in relation to the Presidential
question. As I do not wish to be mis-
understood about the matter, let me
state that in my opinion it is not the
province of any well-organized Ameri-
can citizen, as I hold myself to be, with
a legitimate business competent for my
support, to look forward to or expect
any office or emolument in the gift ot
the people, or to work towards such an
end, even if such a nomination were to
be a "walkover." When there comes
a pressing demand from the sovereign
people, or from any considerable num-
ber ot them, for a particular individual
to fill a designated post of honor, res
sponsibdity or emolument, there is usu-
ally time enough for that individual to
consider the advisability or non-advisa-
bility of its acccptance.
When my nomination for President
of the Republic was made by the Nas
tional Equal Rights party in 1884, it
was not from any fanatical zeal or lack
of knowledge of the real political situ*.
ation of the country on the part of the
nominators, but to test the constitution-
al right of a woman to be nominated
and elected to that supreme office, The
desire of the nominators was to find a
woman brave enough to meet the ordeal.
And this, in the jace of the extraordins
ary political demoralization of the news-
paper press of 1884,was not a sinecure.
The test was made and the legal and
political aspect of the woman question
discusscd not only by pulpit, press and
forum but in every palace and hovel
from the Hub to the Golden Gate and
from the Lakes to the Gulf It may
have been the amusing side of the cam-
paign, but it was an educator and a
dense forest of ignorance had been
blazed for a coming woman President.
I am not anxious to know at this stage
who that woman will be, but believe it
not only possible but probable in the
future of this country—by God's help.
Very sincerely yours,
Belva A. Lockwnoi).
Fair Justice.
Edward Moseley, a condemned chick-
en thief (he was a negro, and couldn't
help it,) has been released, because he
saved Walsh's life by information given
of Driscoll's intention to use a knife upon
the warden ot the Tombs.
We have here a tragedy within a trage-
dy worthy a better pen than ours, but
leading to an act of mercy and clemency
whibh appeals to the simplest mind.
The law informs those brought within
its jurisdiction and condemned by its pro-
cess that they may mitigate crime and
shorten its penalty by a cheerful observ-
ance of prison decipline. One of the most
charming writers of the Queen's English
turns his story of a young gentleman's
indiscretion "and consequent imprison
mentupon his heroic conduct in jail.
We find then that Moseley's behavior
though not bearing out exactly the idea
expressed in fiction of a heroic observance
of order in prison, has in fact earned
"Austin Elliot's" reward—freedom. And
he deserves it.
The Star congratulates Warden Walsh
on his escape from a thug's knife. It con-
gratulates Moseley tor an act of good
faith which, from the criminal's stand-
[joint, was uncalled lor; and it congaatu-
ates that blind girl, Justice, for loosen-
ing her grip rpon a small impestor.while

A writer in the American Magazine
gives a very felicitous description of a
dancing party in the sparsely settled
portion of Virginia,
These parties are events of great im-
portance, drawing friends and acquain
tances for many miles around. They
will come, perhaps from distant counties
a day's journey or more to participate
in these festivities.
The method of travel is on horseback
and as the roads are bad and frequently
bndgeless, the journeyings must be ac-
complished between sun up and dark.
This would be sufficient reason, if there
were no other for keeping up their mer-
ry-making through the entire night, as
is the universal custom.
Old and young join iu the dancing,
which is only suspended for the hearty
supper at midnight, and the Sweet Sup-
per, as it is called, of cakes, jellies, and
tarts, which is furnished just before
daybreak.
As the the sun rises the visitors mount
their horses and start on their home-
ward journey, perhaps of many hours
duration. It seems like paying a severe
penalty for a few hours enjoyment, - but
these tough, hardy settlers do not wilt
physically as easily as our modern, hot-
house society plants.
In the log-cabin days of the early set-
tlers in the northern states, the all-night
dance was a common feature of social
life, and old and young were paticipants
They were a hardy race, perhaps be-
caase they enjoyed themselves, took
but little medicine. They enjoyed a
rugged old age, because they found med-
icine for their simple ailments iu na-
ture's remedies, the roots and herbs of
near-by fields and forests, which cured
them, and lelt no after ill-effects.
The people of to-day might be more
rugged and enjoy life better if they
would have recourse to nature's reme-
dies, instead of mineral drugs. With a
purpose of giving them a chance to try
this course, H. H. Warner & Co., pro-
prietors of Warner's safe cure have had
prepared, from the best recipes, used in
real log cabin days, a line of remedies
known as Warner's Log Cabin Remedies
comprising a Sarsaparilla, a Hops and
Buchu Remedy, a Cough and Consump-
tion Remedy, an Extract for External
and Internal use, Liver Pills, Rose
Cream for Catarrh, Scalpme for Head
and Hair, and a Porous Plaster. They
are all vegetable compounds, harmless,
an just such remedies as were used by
our grandmothers with the best effects.
A Life with a Story-
A Pierre, Dak., special of Janury3rd
says: Proteau, a well known settler in
the Northwest, having lived ninety-
three years there, has been frozen to
death. He was a I< tench man, the first
white settler in Dakota, and perhaps in
the Northwest. He lived on the Mis-
souri slope over eighty years. Many a
white man has been rescued from Indi-
ans by Proteau, who has virtually been
one of the reds since 8 years old. For
the last twelve years he has resided on
the Big Sioux reservation and was en-
gaged in trapping and hunting. To-day
his lifeless body was found frozen solid
near Fort Bennet. It is supposed that
while going to the post he lost his way
in the blizzard and perished. Fifty
years ago he went with the a band of In-
dians to the Black Hills and came back
to Chatran Creek with $15,000 in' gold
nuggets, all of which he traded to Cha-
tron Bros, for a few barrels mess pork,
beans, sugar and coffee. He refused to
divulge the gold mine's location, but fre-
quently came into the store with thous-
and of dollars in dust. Proteau has

Qnicker than Electricity-
The Evening World, with its usual en-
terprise, was'first on the street with the
news of the hanging of Driscoll. The
victory was achieved by a novel and in-
genious method which,so far as is known
was never before used in journalism in
this city, and by which not only time
and space, but also the steel bars and
massive walls of the Tombs were over-
come.
One of the World's bright j'oung men
was stationed on the roof of a high five-
story building on Leonard street, from
which he could obtain a view of a large
section of the prison yard close to the
gallows, including the reporters' stand
and the line of deputy sheriffs. Two
blocks away, in the direction of the
World building, another reporter stood
on the top of the lofty shot tower of the
Coiwell Lead Company, commanding a
view of both the roof of the tenement
and the windows of the Evening World
editorial rooms, in one of which sat an-
other young man looking through a pair
of field glasses.
As the drop fell the- reporter in the
Tombs yard fluttered his handkerchief.
The young man on the roof of the tene-
ment promptly waved a red flag, at
which the reporter on the shot tower al-
so waved a red flag. This was seen by
the'young man with the field glasses,
and in less than two seconds from the
time the drop fell news of it was known
in the World office. It was quicker
than electricity.
With this great advantage and the aid
of its magnificent presses the Evening
Woild was able to get its early extra on
the street fully five minutes before the
most expeditious of its rivals.

J Luxuriant Hair
Con only be preserved by keeping th«
scalp clean, cool, and free from dan-
druff, and the body in a healthful
condition. The great -popularity of
Ayer's Hair Vigor is due to the fact
that it cleanses the scalp, promotes the
growth of the hair, prevents it from
falling out, and gives it that soft and
silky gloss so essential to perfect beauty.
Frederick Hardy, of Roxbury, Mass.,
a gentleman fifty years of age, was fast
losing his hair, and what remained was
growing gray. After trying various
dressings with no effect, he commenced
the use of Ayer's Hair Vigor. "It
stopped the falling out," he writes;
"ami, to my great surprise, converted
my white hair (without staining the
scalp) to the same shade of brown it
had when I was 25 years of age."
Ten Years Younger.
Mrs. Mary Montgomery, of Boston,
writes: "For years, I was compelled
to wear a dress cap to conceal a bald
spot on the crown of my head ; but now
I gladly lay the cap aside, for your Hair
Vigor is bringing out a new growth. I
could hardly trust my senses when I
first found my hair growing ; but there
it is, and I am delighted. I look ten
years younger."
A similar result attended the use of
Ayer's Hair Vigor by Mrs. O. O. l'res-
eott, of Charlestown, Mass., Miss Bessie
H. Bedloe, of Burlington, Vt., Mrs. J. J.
Burton, of Bangor, Me., and numerous
others.
The loss of hair may be owin™ to im-
purity of the blood or derangement of
the stomach and liver, in whieh case,
a course of Ayer's Sarsaparilla or of
Ayer's Pills, in connection with the
Vigor, may be necessary to give health
and tone to all the functions of the
body. At the same time, it cannot be
too strongly urged that none of these
remedies can do much good*without
a persevering trial and strict attention
to cleanly and temperate habits.
