The passing »«iv of this prominent col ored citizen of Boston is a fitting opportunity to place before the younger feneration the leading incidents in the career of this once fugitive slave. We find in the New York Tribune the following sketch of a Boston sorretpon lent of that paper Lewis Hayden bad a remarkable experi ence m bus lifetime, and participated ac tively in many of the events connected with the afitstUn for the abolition of the slavery into which he himself was bom. His birth took place in the family of Adam Rankin, a Presbyterian min ister at Lexington, Ky on December 1816. In 1826 he was sold to Elijah Wea ver. the consideration for the sale being a pair of horses. In 18*0 young Hayden de t-rn.im d to escape from slavery, and at the end of September, 184*. be. with his wife and child, began his fight, in which he was assisted by the Rev. Calvin Fairbanks and Vliss Julia A Webster, who were afterward mprisoned for their part in the matter His wife had been given the neces sary notice of her husband s intention, and the, after giv ng an intended visit to the town as an excuse for a shirt ab sence passed her chill out of the pantry window to her husband, while she went out through die door. Mr. Fairbanks and Miss Web*ter met them outside of the city l.mi's, where a conveyance was taker At that Ume the clandestine marring s of the beaus and belles of Kentucky were quite f'equently cel ebrated upon the opposite bank of the river, on the soil of Indiana and Ohio It was as the attendants of a couple ostensibly bound apou such a romantic mission that Mr. Hay leu and bis wife were enabled to secure safe passage from Kentucky. Crossing the river at K.pley. Ohio, on September 30, the es caped slaves found themselves in the hands of the agents of the underground railway." They were pursued and large rewards were offered for their capture and return, but they scaped to Canada. No sooner had Mr Hay l«-n reached the North than he at once began t work for those who bad heen his follow sufferers Mix months later he again crossed the line from Canada and made his home in j Detroit. There he succeeded in establishing a school and church fur colored people and rahing funds for the erection of a church building In 184.1 he made his first visit to Boston, and on this occasion he made an ad dress which attracted such attention that he was engaged by the Anti-Slavery Society to lecture, and he lectured in New England and New York In 1*48 Mr. Hayden went to Boston to reside, and bis home was somewhat of a headquarters for anti-slavery workers. It was there that plans for the John Brown raid were talked over While this discussion was in progress the hiding of the papers became necessary, owing to fear of sur prise, and the papers, telegrams, etc., from John Brown and his friends were hidden un der the carpet in the sitting-room. Atone time Mr Hayden dwelt in suc h fear of the slave holder that, collecting several fugitives at i his home, In* caused kegs of gun-powder to be placed in his cellar which were to be fired in case the blood-hounds found their way to Ids door. Mr Hayden’s arrival in Boston did not very long precede the passage of the Fugitive Slave Law, and in the opposition tc it he took a leading part He was indicted and tried for being concerned in the escape Sliadrai h. but the jury failed to agree. Mr. Hayden was also concerned in the Semmes escaje and other prominent cases of the day. At one time he was engaged in business ir this city, his stock of goods having beer supplied by a prominent anti-slavery res: dent. About thirty y*ar9 ago he entered the i office of the Secretary of State of Mass a (husetts, where Ir* was employed at the time of his death. During the war h** was ener gotic in recruiting for theo5tb Massachusetts Regiment. In politics he was a Krpublican and as such served in the House of Repre sentatives as a member from the old Sixtl Ward. In his latter years Mr. Hayden bar been instrumental in securing the recognit’or throughout th world if the colored, oi Prince Hall, Grand Lodge of Masons, am had been ever watchful of any threatened infringment of the social privileges or politi cal rights of ihe colored race. A command ery of Knight* Templar was named aftei him. He had also been an ardent worker ir the cause of education in the South. Hi made several contributions to Masonic litera ture, was active in his efforts on behalf oi equal si bool privilege* for white arid colore* children, ami was an ail vocal a of temperance on woman’s suffrage.

BASE BALL. Shall Augusta ba Represented on tbs Diamond this Baa sen Everything seems to indicate a strong, and constantly growing desire on the part of Augusta citizens to he represented on the diamond next season by s strong ball nine. The nine of last season made a most creditable record and one in which the peo ple of Augusta felt a just pride. Consider ing the difficulties to be overcome at the start the success of rhe team and the great playing strength of the team which was de veloped in contests with some of the crack club# of New England, was both a surprise and a pleasure t) all lovers of the game. The returning spring has awakened in this city an increased interest m the project of a team for the coming summer. Manager O'Brien has already received assurances of financial support from a very large number of citizens. Everyone seems ready to lend a hand. A very large majority of the busi* ness men of the city have signified a will ingness to contribute something to the cause Many who gave nothing last year have signi fied a willingness to stand in for a team this year. The directors of the Park have generously offere 1 the use of the grounds free of ex pente, and everywhere the citizens seem de termined that Augusta shall be represented the coming sum mer by a nine of gentlemanly players who ■nail be an honor to the capital city. The coming summer from a business point of view will be a most active one for this 1 city. The erecti >n of a new cotton mill, the building of a State House enlargement, the building of an electric street railway, the erection of two new pavilions at the Insane Asylum, the completion of the Government building, the lay ing of a large amount of ad ditional paving and the erection of an unusu ally large number of private residences, all presage a summer of activity in this city. Here is plenty of work and a good ball nine will furnish just the requisite amount of amusement. Our citizens will all bear witness that a live nine does a great deal to make city life enjoyable during the hot sum mer months. Many whose business cares or financial condition precludes the possibil ity of a vacation at the aea shore, the moun tains. or in the country, can find in an occa sional two hours' recreation and entertainment on the hall field, the heat possible substitute. The crowds at the games last summer testi fied to the interest felt in the nine by our citi zen# both young and old. It would indeed he a pleasure to see again in an Augusta uniform the familiar facea of such gentlemanly and popular players as Freeman. Wilson, Pushor, Patterson. Belcher, Keay, McCarthy, Underwood. McManus and others whose labors last summer won so many honors for tins city. It is understood that nearly all of these players, and others not unknown to Augusta people may he secured for the com ing season. There is no reason why the city shall have not have a first class hall nine this season Whether or not it will have it de pends wholly upon the financial support which it given the undertaking Manager O'Brien promises us a nine even superior to the best of last season if he can secure the backing necessary at a foundation. Unless this is secured the project must be abandoned. We think we know the spirit of Augusta citizens, however, and feel confident that one ami all will have pride enough to do their full share in making this matter a success. SUPERIOR COURT Judge W P.

So great has been the rush j of “boom* rs, h 1 venturers and homesteaders to the territory, that late dispatches from Arkansas City, Wichita and other bor der places say there are now twice as many people on the borders of the new territory as can be accommodated under the Home trail act.

Mr. Arthur Greenus, the well known New York scenic artist, assisted by his brother. Mr. Percy Greenus, has begun the work of j painting new scenes for the stage of Granite j Hall. Twelve scenes, besides the act drop. t will be prepared, the first of which is al- i ready completed. It represects an interior i palace scene, beautifully ornamented with j gold leaf and figures both original in design i and of tasty ornamentation. On the right panel is a male and female fig ure. and on the left a danc ing maiden with tambourine in hand j The fiat is covered with gold leaf which, by reflecting the light, greatly enhances the effect. Scenes representing a street, a par lor. a prison, a kitchen, a garden, a lands cape, an oak chamber, a mountain and a cottage will also be painted, the whole task 1 occupying some six weeks.

If honest and conscientious work on the stage for six years, coupled with genius that is unmistakable, deserves success. Miss' Margaret Mather should today rank among America's foremost exponents of the legiti mate drama. Miss Ma her has had a difficult road to travel for a couple of seasons. Many theatre goers consider her presump tuou# to start at the top round of the dramatic ladder instead of beginning at the bottom, hut or.e by one the grumbler?* an fault finders fell in line, and now it is generally conced ed even by the most chronic of fault finders that Miss Mather is a diamond in the rough at first, the jxjlishing process was applied season after season, crudities one by one were eradi iat -d.and now Margaret Mather is a shining example of what genius wedded to art will do. Shakespeare s "Romeo and Juliet’* was the play presented before a large audirr.ee at the ipera House last night w ith Miss Mather as the unhappy her nine of V» rona. Miss Mather was equal to all the varying phas*s of Juliet's sad history. Her sc* ne in the garden with the nurse is girl ish. impetuous and impulsive.The final parting with Komeo was a masterpiece of skill, and the potion scene —always considered the test of a Juliet’s abilities—was almost fearful in its realism, culminating with a startling fa 1 down a flight'if steep steps, which gained, for her a number of recalls. In this scene, as well as in the final one. wh -re Juliet in the tomb of the Capulct* ends her life with her own hands. Miss Mather was at her best, showing the true qualities of a tragedienne.
