2few York Advertiser. As yonnjr
Browne's health was delicate and his
father and only brotherhnd died young,
he was urged by his friends to give up
certain indulgences and save himself.
Thiscausf d him to relate tho following
anecdote to Mr. Knight: "I once knew
an old fellow in the west, living mainly
by himself, who said he had always
been making sacrifices as to appetite,
giving up one thing after another for
the sake of health. At length, when he
was about eighty years old, he had
Rimpliued bis diei until he was just liv
ing on whisky and pork. But one day
he said to me: "I guess I've got to give

She alono went to his aid, insisting that,

fact. It is not known that Miss Birch
ever saw tho old gentleman, but a few
weeks ago his solicitor called and in -

Mrs. Harriet Hayden. widow of Lewis
Hay den, died at Boston, a red 74. Mrs.
Hayden was bom a slave iu Kentucky.
She made her escape e.triy in the forties,
became identified with the anti!sverr
movement, and her boose on Philips
street, Boston, became the rendexvoas
for fugitive slaves. John Brown beld a
meeting at her house with some of his
associates prior to his departure for
Harper's Ferry, and perfected some
plans there. Mrs. Hayd?n was a warm
personal friend ef William Lloyd Garri
son, Wendell Phillips and Charles Soo
ner. Governor Waite of Colorado has is
sued his long talked of call for a special
session of the legislature, toconvene Jsn.
10. The call consists of about 5.00
words, and mentions over thirty scV
jects on which legislative action should
t-e taken. The governor justifies his
proclamation by declaring: "The min
ing interests of the state hsve been un
justly and unconstitutionally attacked
by congress and the present administra
tion. The panic has so reduced values
and increased the burdens of taxation
that agriculturists, fruit growers and
stock raisers are .obliged to sell the pro
ducts below the eost of production."
The first business suggested for the leg
islature is to provide that ail silver dol
lars, domestis and foreign, containing?
not less than grams of fane silver,
shall be legal tender for all dobts col
lectable in Colorado. The governor als
suggests the passage of sai net forbid
ding the making of trust deeds, xaort-'
g-ges or obligations of sny kind payable
in gold; for laws providing for the issu
ance of certificates of small denomina
tions in payment for work upon stato
canals, said certificates to be convertibto
into $100 certificates in three years.
