ment, and to like bltn for hU warm social
qualities. He was born In I'ouijhkeepule

was John Lockwood, a member of the so
ciety of "Friends," (J inkers," as they
were derlsevely called. Uetio was a native

Mrs. John Lockwood's maiden name was
Amle Arnold. Her mother was Lydia

little state, who. like the memorable
Guelphs and Ohebellem, and Shtkespear'a
Capulets and Montauues, were at perpetual
war with each other. Arthur run his fa-
ther8 family record Into England, covering
aspaseof about two hundred years, while
his cousin, vounir Arnold, traced the Ar
nold family line down about an equal
chronological space Into Ireland.
noYiioon DAYS.
Like all boys he had his time at play and
school; his father having been denied the
advantages of a good education in his
youth, and being a man of great energy
and exalted business qualities, determined
to supply his children with as liberal an
education as money could obtain. He was
a very successful merchant ami became
rich, and contributed largely to the local
schools. Poughkeepsle, midway between
Albany and New York, 7 miles from ei
ther place, was, In Arthur's boyhood days, a
thriving and romantic towa of live thousand
Inhabitants on the Hudson river, then as
now the Milne of America. lughkepsle
bad the honor of bulnir. temporary the
captt'il of the Empire state. During the
war of the revolution while (Jen. dates and
Arnold were havlug their dispute at Alba
ny and the Legislature had t.J lly for their
liven. Thev lied to Kingston, across the
river near Poughkeepsle, but the llritish
soldiers followed them aud burnt that town
and they had to Bet up house keeping for a
time ut Poughkeepsle, where they re
mained till the successes of the colonists
cleared the way to the capital at Albany.
Poughklpsie is located on the Eistern bank
of the Hudson river; was In 18:10 a place
of five or six thousand Inhabitants. The
Legislature of New York met there In 1778,
to give asseut to the articles of confedera
tion, and there also the national constitution
was ratified. It has now a population of
over 20,000.
Arthur remembers seeing La Fayette In
1821 when that distinguished champion of
freedom was on his tour through the He
public which he helped to found for our
people. The noble French General was
honored and feted everywhere by the
people, and pme.l the proudest ant hap
plestdiysof hiseventful life while trav
eling through' the land, receiving the heait
felt blessings of the people for whose
freedom he had sacrlliced and risked so
much. Arthur, yet so young and small In
stature that his nurse had to raise him in
her arim to give him a view of the veteran
hero, saw the chieftain standing bare-headed
In his carriage, and heard the enthusi
astic cltizHis m ike thevelkln ring with
their cheers a sight which so Impressed
the lad's youthful mind that he can now
recall the scene as if it were of yesterday's
occurrence.
TKAININO DAYS.
Mr. Lock wood gave us an amusing de
scription of the old "Training days," and
more especially ot the parades of the
'Fantaetiques," or "Tatterdeuiallan brl.
gade." "Tralnm's," as the Yankees called
them, were the outgrowth of the wars of
the revolution and of 1812. Those contlicts
demonstrated that while raw recruits could
dlght and die In the last ditch, or charge a
solid wall of bayonets In the hands of
iirltlsh regulars, still there was a vast ad
vantage In being drilled, In having skilled
ofllcers who know how to command, and
soldiers who know bow to perform the
varied evolutions of battle, and that too, In
the face of the enemy and In the midst of
the fight. The law provided that each
able-bodied man of proper military age
should appear with a musket and other
proper accoutrements two days a year at
at the county seat or some central place
within the county to be drilled. One of
Mr. Lockwood's senior brothers, Arthur's
uncle, being a "(Quaker," on account of the
conscientious scruples of the Friends
against llfihtlng. refused to drill. He was
"warned,'' and not responding, the authori
ties arrested and jailed him, and for some
time Mrs. Loo kwood supplied the prisoner
with food. Whether he paid a fine or was
released in some other way, Arthur does
not now remember. As time wore on, and
. the memories of the wars with England
grew dim, training days, at first enthusi
astically observed by the men as partlcl.
pants and the woman and children as spec
tators, became less popular and finally
rather Irksome duties, and then there
grew up a spirit of mischievous ridicule as
to these performances, and It came to be
the fashion for the boys to turn out In fan
tastlc burlesque trainings, just before or
after the "regular trainings," when fun
and frolic reigned supreme. These bur
lesques attracted almost the eutlre popula-
tlon of the county, and became great gala
ilvs for the neoDle. vouuir and old. The
r - - a '
mock soldiers came to town In every Imag
Inable style of outlandish costume, carrying
guns without stocks, stork without guns(
brooms, or mops or flills, In lieu of mus
kets, some In tall hats, others In straw hats,
caps, btre headed, botless, or with one
boot and one shoe, some with pants, one
leg of which was white and the other
veil w. red or blue. They had ofllcers
w
from Grand Marshals aud Major Generals,
down to 10th corporals, some on mules,
others on foot or mounted on scare crows of
horses, leaving "Fallstaffs recruits" far In
the shade as to every absurdity. The out
landish parades soon rendered the annual
training so ridiculous that no one observed
It; the law became a dead letter and wa9
Anally repealed.
KAHI.Y RAILROAD.
Home time during Arthur's "teens,'
railroads began to be talked of. To build
railroads across rivers, over mountains,
through dense forests, in a sparcely settled
country, where "hands" can not find board,
provisions are dear, Is a big task even in
our day and generation, wun our
advantage of experience and Improved
appliances for such work, but In those days
it was a Herculean labor. Hut far sighted
business men discerned In the future the
great commercial Interests which railroads
would develop. Hut how soon? was the
question. Capital was not plentlfull. The
country was still burdened with the debt of
two wars, and railroads only an experiment
yet to be made. Western New York was
a wilderness and Chicago a mere landing
place for venturesome and Irregular small
crafts, while the Great West had its East
ern line In Ohio and stretched its almost
boundless limits of woods, prairies and
mountains, Inhabited by Indians and wild
animals to the far off Pacific, a trackless
'wild, wild west" truly, and large enough
to contain all Europe! Hut the spirit of
progress urged capital westward towards
the lakes, and short railroads were built.
pack almost as sn Independent experiment,
and all by different companies. First to
Albiinv: the second to Schenectady; the
third to I'tlca; the fourth to Syracuse; the
fifth to Kochester; the sixth to Hatavla,
and the seventli to Huffa'o, Each of these
short links of this chain of railroads was
owned and operated by adilTerent company,
and the cars of one company never rolled
upon the track of anothei road. This
necessitated a change of cars and baggage
at the end of eujh line at the places we
have named, and moreover (and toonr
readers the queerest of all) the
trains never ran at night.
It took a whole day--lrom morning till
evening to run from Albany to Syracuse,
where the passengers, conductors, engi
neers, brakemen, &c, put up at the hotel
for the night, and, starting next morning,
plodded along until they reached Buffalo
the next night. A modern fast express
and mall train now makes the distance
from New York City to Chicago in about
the same time, a fair illustration of thh
progressive age.
FAMILY III8TOIIY.
Mr. John Lwkwood and Miss Amy Har
ris were married at Hartford, Conn., in
1818. The result of that union was eight
ch'ldren, of whom Arthur was the eldest.
A brother and sister and their aged mother,
now in her !)2d year, still bright, strong
and cheerful, live together in a comfortable
bouse In Brooklyn. These four are all who
survive of the old family. Arthur's brother
John, of Brooklyn, Is a gentleman of fine
literary culture and reputation. He served
for years as an associate editor with Horace
Greeley on the New York Tribune, and
was "critic on Harper's Magazine for
years, besides he was one of the brightest
and most Industrious contributors to Apple
ton's Journal. As stated previously, Mr.
John Lockwood, Sr., was a liberal contrib
utor to the cause of education, and as fast
as his children were advanced enough they
were sent to the Duchess county Academy,
an excellent preparatory school for the next
step higher the college. Here for five
years Arthur had Latin and other advanced
studies "hammered Into him by a Yankee
schoolmaster, who was a very good instruc
tor." In 1830, Mr. John Lockwood, Sr., "for the
reason," as he explained it, "of giving his
children the advantage of the best schools
In tjie country," sold out his extensive retail
store in Poughkeepsle and moved to New
York city. He opened a wholesale dry
goods store in the then center of business,
and provided a comfortable home for his
family three miles further out in the coun
try, near where Madison Square was after
wards located. Arthur has been over
nearly every rod ot that part of the Island,
which was then as wild and rough as the
Htxky Mountain region, and was then
eqimlly as familiar with the territory which
has Blnce become Central Park, a rugged
section which promised the least in the
real or Imaginable. Arthur entered the
University of New York and progressed
finely in his studies for about three years',
until the principal, a harsh and testy old
man, became so unbearably unpopular that
the students struck for their rights in open
rebellion. Arthur was among the revolu
tionists, and they succeeded in driving the
principal out of the Academy; but it broke
up the school for a year or more, during
which time the young man grew
tired of school life; besides he was
fir advanced in all bis studies, and
concluded to go into active life in his
father's extensive wholesale house, where
be remained several years and obtained an
excellent business education of the most
practical and reliable kind. As a boy he
remembered the celebrated ' bread riot "
la New York, and heard of flour being knee
deep on some cross streets near Greenwich
street, where vast store-houses were broken
Into by the howling mob by whom thel
valuable contents of the material for the
staff of life was wantonly and wickedly
strewn upon the streets, a queer proceed
Ing for men who claimed to be starving
and a perfect verification of the old adage,
that " A mob Is a many headed monster,
without brains"! He also remembers
the great Are in New York which wiped
out the lower part of the city, stopping
only a block from his father's store.
COMK WK8T.
Mr. Lot kvvooj Dr. has assisted more than
one yniipg man to come west, and the great
" Prairie State " in 1846 and Its rapidly
growing towns and youngcities had begun
to attract attention in Gotham, and Arthur
was impressed with the idea that a young
man could do iwtter by trying his fortune
somewhere near Chicago on the new canal
His father had equipped Mr. T. L. Bough-
ton a young clerk whom he knew and
trusted with a stock of goods. He located
in Yonkville Kendall Co. and did well,
but the canal offered a better market and
superior chances for business at almost any
point along its line, and especially at Otta
wa. He sold out, and visited New lork,
and young Lockwood obtained his father's
consent to return with blm to Ottawa.
They went In a bout up the Hudson river.
to Albany, thence crossed the state to Buf
falo on the railroad, now all united in the
great New York Central, went around the
lakes to Chicago, and thence to Ottawa in
the old Frink & Walker stage, the canal
not yet quite finished, and were 24 hours
in coming to this city, arriving here August
2U, 1810.
OTTAWA IN 18-10.
The first object which attracted bis a.
tentlonon landing In front of the Mansion
House, was the then new court house, In
process of building. He saw the pillars in
front and steeple above, and innocently
asked a citizen, " What church is that?"
The man replied in defiance of grammar,
"Taint nochurch, Its our new court house?"
Being a young man of education and good
address, Mr. Lockwood sxn madeacuuatn
tances and warm friends. The Mansion
House was kept by an old gentleman
named Lntshaw, but the business was con
ducted by bis son Joe, a very popular
young man, who afterwards went with
Surveyor (ineral J. B. Preston, to Portland,
Oregon, as li is assistant, and subsequently
died there. Among the early citizens of
Ottawa, be met J. V. A. and Abram Hoes,
the latter a brilliant lawyer, but cut off by
untimely death ; J. C. Champlin, Joe Mor-
rell, Judge Cotton, B. C. Cook, J. O. Glover,
Judge Dickey, John Hlse, Wm. Heddick,
the Osmans, Wm. and Moses, Jabey Fitch,
Judge Caton, Thomas True, Lowery & Ged
ney, now our " Poet Laureate," then con
ducting the " Constitutionalist;" L. B. Del
ano. The Ottawa bar was then as able, if
not the ablest of any In the entire west.
He also met the the Armstrongs, Shavers,
Mr. and Mrs. Jo. Ebersol and other promi
nent old settlers and formed friendships
with all of them which has been ever
sincere and enduring. Among the early
physicians then were Dr. Howland, and Dr.
Schemerhom. He was afterwards instru
mental in bringing Dr. McKInney here
from Somonauk, a physician of rare sltlll
and a man of splendid- literary acquire
ments but who, singularly enough, hated
his profession, notwithstanding his exterj,
slve and profitable practice!
Mr. Bough ton opened a general store in
the middle room of the Iteddlck block, the
first brick store in Ottawa. Mr. Lockwood
acted as general business man. About two
years after he bought the store and Mr. B.
retired, Mr. Lockwood continuing the
business until 18o7. Ills customers were
scattered over a wide space of territory
from Pontlac to Paw Paw Grove.

Literary Note.
"What and where Is God," by Philbrook
(Phtlbrook & Dean, 182 Dearborn St.,) Is a
paper bound volume of 480 pages just re
ceived. It purports to be "a discussion of
the cause, character and operations of the
Creator." The author says, p. 324, "all the
book of value In print are the writings of
spirits, and there never was a particle of
Information given the people by a person
on earth who did not get his iuformatlon
from a spirit. We Intend by the word in
formation a new fact or idea." Voltalie, he
says "was the instrument of Shakespeare in
all the work performed by the person aftei
his visit to England." "Llebnltz, Des
cartes, Copernicus, Galllleo, Kepler, New.
tan, Huyghens, &c, etc., were all the
Instrument of a spirit teacher." We as
sume therefore that this work Is the dicta
tlon of a rplrlt; and therefore hardly within
the jurisdiction of an earthly critic. As
may be anticipated under the clrcumstan
ces, there are some startling statements, as
for example. "Only a mere current of elec
tricity was the origin of God." Electricity
Is therefore the "first cause" philosophers
have been hunting so long. "The Intelli
gence of a person or any animal Is barely
the Intelligence of a current of so-called
electricity on the surface of the brain," &c,
The Ideas certainly are novel. They will
hardly, however, commend themselves to
the views of the orthodox. Still they may
be curious reading as the production of a
spirit, or putting Into form one of the many
phases of spiritualism.
