laic lUthM,
Yesterday was about the happiest
day Rufus llamimuul has seen for
many a year. He had the pleasure of
entertaining his former mistress and
members of her family when he was a
slave in Memphis. The lady was none
other than the widow ofC. \V. Cherry,
a heavy slave-holder in Memphis in
the palmy days of trade in human
flesh. The lady was accompanied by
her son. In c nephew, William Williams,
and Mrs. MasterlieM. The call was un
expected, but the good lady, who with
her friends was on her way to -Niagara
Falls and St. Catherines, could not pass
Krie without stopping oil’ to see good,
faithful Rufus and his family. Rufus
had been their property for eight years
prior to the emancipation, and was
purchased by Mr. Cherry for i? 1.000.
11 is wife and daughter, now Mrs. Maine
Baxter, and his adopted daughter, Mrs.
James I’ardy, all living in this city,
were also the property of the Cherry
family. Rufus was a favorite hand and
drove the family carriage. The visitors
received every attention at the hands
of their former slave, and reciprocated
with the kindest of demonstrations.
They were surprised to find that Rufus
had amassed property since he came
to Krie in ISO;’ to the amount of
fit 10.
Victories White Elephants.
IMiilatlclpliiii Times.
Bless bis honest heart! the King of
Siam has sent the order of the white
elephant to his cousin, the empress of
India, otherwise known as Conceit Vic
toria. 'I ie Siamese embassador went
to Windsor, and with much ceremony
solemnly hung it around Her Majesty’s
neck, howdah and all. However,
Queen Victoria is used to white ele
phants. Only a few months ago the
Karl of Beaconslleld presented her with
a brace of fresh ones in the shape of
Afghanistan and Cyprus; and she had
a whole drove of them previously in
her possession. There is no charm of
novelty, therefore, to be found in the
King of Siam’s gift: and there is just
the suspicion of a possibility that His
Siamese Majesty, who speaks English
and must know acout the double mean
ing, has been perpetrating a bit of sar
casm at tin* expense of his Imperial
fi iend.
