A weird, sweet melody, faint and far,A humming murmur, a rhythmic ring,

Floats down from the tower where the lensesare;

Can you hear the song which the carbonssing?

Millions of aeons have rolled away,In the grand chorale 4 which the stars re

hearse,Since the note, eo sweet in our song to-day,

Wan structt in Ihe chord of the Universe.

The vast vibration went floating onThrough the diapason of Space and Time,

Till the impulse swelled to a deeper tone.And mellowed and thrilled with a finer

rhyme.

Backward aDd forward the atoms go,In the surging tide of that soundless sea

Whose billows from nowhere to nowhere flow,As they break on the sands of Eternity.

Yet through all the coasts of the endless All,la the ages to come, as in ages gone,

We feel but the throb of that mystic thrallWhich binds, responsive, the whole in one.

P.IRWIN,Ann Arber,

It was a dull rainy day, toward theend of August—one of those days whenearth and sky alike are grey and dreary,and the raindrops pattering against thewindow sound like human sobs. Theclock that hung against the wall point-ed to the hour of three in the after-noon, and I was sitting by myself inour little inner office, looking out atthe expanse of dull, grey wall thatformed my only prospect from the not0 vei clean window, and thinking. Ihad read every square inch of type inthe newspapers; I had made out all thenecessary papers and documents, andnow with literally 'nothing to do,' Iwas musing about Kitty Elton, andwondering how long it would be before1 should be able to marry her.

Dear little Kitty! she was as sweetand as patient as it wa£ in the natureof a woman to be, but I knew it was ahard life for her in that overcrowdedmilliner's work-room, day after day andmonth after month, and I longed toset her free from the monotonous cap-tivity. She was a pretty blue-eyed girlof twenty, with a dimple in her chin,and the sweetest roses on her cheekthat ever inspired the pen of a poet. Iwas no poet, yet I think I understoodand appreciated all her womanly graceand delicate beauty as fully as if myheart's thoughts could shape themselvesinto verse. And it was of them I wasthinking when the door opened andMr. Clenner came in.

Mr. Clenner was our 'chief—a darksilent little man, with square sternmouth, and clouded grey eyes, whichappeared almost expressionless whenthey were turned full upon you, andyet which seemed to see everything ata glance. He sat down beside me.

'Meredith,, he said In a quiet subduedtone that was natural to him, 'didn'tyou say you were getting tired of doingnothing ?'

'Yes, sir.'' Well, I have something for you t

do.''What is it sir.''Something that will bring you both

credit and friends, if you manage itskillfully. I had intended to go my-self, but circumstances happen un-towardly, and I shall send you in-stead.'

Bending his head towards me an 'speaking scarcely above a whisper, h(told me the special business on whichI was to be sent. There had been, itseems, a series of very heavy forgerieslately committed, with a boldness andaudacity that fairly seemed to set theauthorities at defiance. For some time :

lie had been in doubt as to the exacfperpetrator of the crime, but after miiclquiet investigation and casting hitho:and thither, he had detected the hid-den spring—one Perley Matteson—who lad skillfully eluded all pursuitand was now somewhere hiding in thenortheastern portion of the state. Hiswhereabouts had been ascertained asnearly as possible, and it was for me togo quietly up and apprehend him, be-fore he should become aware of ourknowledge of all his movements.

I sat listening to all the various de-tails of our plan as they were sketchedout by Mr. Clenner. The reward thathad been privately offered was high—my heart leaped as I reflected howmuch nearer it would bring me toKitty Elton, nor did the enterpriseseem particularly difficult to accom-plish.

'Do you think you can do it ¥' Mr.Clenner asked, after the whole thinghad been laid before me.

'Yes, sir. When shall I start?''Now—within half an hour.''Yes; why not?'I could think of no sufficient reasoi

except one, which I did not care tccommunicate to my superior—tholonging wish to see Kitty once morebefore I started.

Just as you decide, Mr. Clenner, olcourse,' I said, rising. 'If I take thfour o'clock express. I shall be there b}daylight to-morrow morning.'

'Yes, and that is altogether the besplan. He will not remain long in anjone place just at present, depend upoiit, and what you have to do must bdone at once.'

And through that long night journej

I mused upon the task that lay beforeme. The house to which I was direct-ed was in the midst of woods, aboulhalf a mile beyond the village ofDrownville—the residence of MrsMatteson, the mother of the audaciousforger. If help was needed I was fullyauthorized to call for it upon the con-stabulary authorities of Drownville,but I expected to need none.

The rosy dawn was just flushing theeastern sky when I alighted, stiff,weary and jaded from the train, at thelittle way-station of Drownville.

'Can you direct me to .vlis. Matte-son's place?' I asked of the sleepy sta-tion-master, who was yawning behindthe little aperture of the ticket-office.

'Matteson—Mrs. Matteson; I don'tknow her, but I guess likely I can tellyou where she lives. Just you followthe main street ef the village out abouthalf a mile, and ye'll come to a patcho' woods, with bars at the fence. Gothrough them bars a little way furtheron, and ye'll see a little yaller house,just the last place in the world whereyou'd expect to see a house. That'swhere Mrs. Matteson lives.'

I thanked my informant, and set outon a brisk walk carrying my travelingbag. It was quite a distance ere Iemerged from the suburbs of the'main street,' into a quiet and secluded,road, or rather lane. The 'patch o'woods' with the bars, and the 'littleyaller house'—a cream colored cottage,literally overgrown with honey-suckles—rewarded my search, and as I knock-ed at the door, a clock somewhere in-side struck seven.

A decent-lookinar, elderly woman inwidow's weeds came to the door.

'Is Mr. Matteson in? Mr. Perley?''No,' she answered quickly, with, as

; imagined, rather a confused look. Idid not believe her, and asked quietly:

'When do you expect him home ?''Not at present.'Apparently she expected me to go

away, but, instead, I stepped in.Mother,' asked a soft voice at the

lead of the stairs, who is it ?'And then for the first time I became

aware that some one had been watch-ng our colloquy from the head of thetairs—a young girl dressed, like the

mother in deep black, with very bril-iant eyes, and a profusion of jet black•inglets.

'Someone to see your brother.'She came half-way down the stairs,

mshing back her curls with one hand,,nd looking at me with wonderful

eyes. Even then her beauty struck meas I stood gazing at her.

Terry is not at home,' she saidmrriedly. 'He has g«»ae away. We

do not Know when he will return.'Evidently this mother and daughter

were in the secret of Matteson's vil-ainy, and doing their best to screeniim from its consequences. My heartiled for both of them; but it was noime to indulge in sentimental pity,peaking as briefly as I could, I toldhem it was my duty to compel them0 remain where they were while Iearched the house.

Mrs. Matteson sat down, pale andrembling; her daughter coloredigh.

'Mother,' she said, 'why do you stand>y and listen to such slanders? It isalse! Let this man search the housef he will; my brother is as innocentis I am!'

No opposition was offered to myearch. It was entirely fruitless, how-ver—there was nowhere any trace ofhe flown bird. Nevertheless, I con-luded to remain there quietly for a day>r two, to see what a little waitingnight bring forth.

The same afternoon Clara Mattesoname in, as I sat by the piazza windowceeping a quiet watch on all the sur-oundings.

'Mr. Meredith,' she said softly, 'moth-er thinks I have been rude to you. She

lys it was not your fault, personally,hat you were sent here—on i-uch a mis-ake, and perhaps She is right. I am

very sorry if I have hurt your feelings.'The pretty penitent way in which

.she spoke quite won my heart, and ai'eiv questions on my part teemed tounlock the hidden recesses of her con-fidence. She talked at first shyly, but.Her wards with more assurance of her-self, her absent brother, and her moth-1 r, giving me a thousand artless littleuiraily details which I almost dreaded•oluar. The twilight talk was one of

:.iL' ji'e&santest episodes of my by noiiiuuus universally pleasant life, and Iwas considerably annoyed when it wasbroken in upon by the arrival of theDrownville constables who were to.vatch through the night. At the•; I'.ind of their footsteps on the piazza.1 1 r, Clara rose up and sat down again,0 ::'.ised and frightened.

•<), Mr. Meredith—those men—'•Be easy, Miss Matteson,' I said; 'you

shall in no way be annoyed by them.Your privacy shall not be broken in up-on, believe me.'

•I know I am silly, faltered Clara,•but Oli! it seems so dreadful!'

My orders to the men were brief and*:i;:i:i!ict. I stationed them as seemedIjt'st to me, and then returned to spend

1 e evening with Miss Matteson. Andwhen I was at length left alone Iould not help thinking—God forgh e

me—how much more winning andgraceful she was than poor Kitty El-on.

At length an answer came to my re-iort to Mr. Clenner—it was short and tohe purpose:

'Come back. You are iosing time.J the bird has flown we must look

elsewhere for him.'I read the missive with a pang.

_!lara Matteson'a check deepened incolor as I announced my departure toler

j ou nave been far kinder than wedared to hope, Mr. Meredith,' she saidas I held her hand in mine.

'You will think of me sometimes,Clara?'

certainly did all that man could do un-der the circumstances.

'We have been mistaken all the waythrough, it seems,' he said, biting hislip. 'Strange—very strange—I wasnever mistaken before in my calcula-tions. Well, we must try again.'

I went to Kitty Elton's that night.She received me with a sweet, shy sad-ness of welcome that should have mademe the happiest man in the world; butit did not. Clara Matteson's darkbeauty seemed to stand between meand her like a visible barrier. WhenI took my leave, there were tears inher eyes.

'Kitty, you are crying!''Because you are changed. Edward,

you do not love me as well as youdid!'

'Kitty, what nonsense!'I was vexed with her, simply be-

cause I knew her accusation was true.But I kissed her once more, and tookmy leave, moody, and dissatisfied.

When I reached the office next morn-ing Mr. Clenner was not there.

'He has gone to Downville,' said myfellow detective; 'he went last night.'

'To Downville?'I was seriously annoyed. Did Mr.

Clenner distrust the accuracy of myreports? Or did he imagine that Iwas unable to institute a thorough andcomplete investigation of the prem-ises?

'It's very strange,' I mused aloud.Jones laughed.

Chinese Secret Soeietios.

The Chinaman is always prosperousabroad, whatever he may be uudermandarin rule. There are no poorChiLamen out of the Celestial Land,unhss it be in some region where theyhave not yet had time to mature theirsystem and "best" the natives. In theMalay Straits and Burmah they secureall the local trade and considerablymore than half the town lands. Andthis invariable prosperity they owe totheir secret societies. These secret so-cieties are not new. They are trans-plantations from guilds in the chiefcommercial centres of China itself.There the object of the guilds is tocombat grasping mandarin--, and pre-vent Chinamen of alien clai; . from get-ting any great share of trade. Abroad,the societies are instituted for the pur-pose of benentting their members, andmaking a profit out of everybody e se.

Whenever twenty Chinamen fromthe same town or district in the oldcountry meet together In a foreignland, they club together to buy ahouse, fit it up wit! ipracrpriate idolsand porcelain ngb .v • -'scrolls witha profusion of goL '• 1 .;< i devise a setof club rules and ret • 'ions. Succeed-ing Chinamen frou. me same part ofthe country join as they arrive. Ifthey have money, they make a presentto the brotherhood or joining. If theybring no money in their pockets, theaid of the guild soon enables them togive. These Kongsees have awonderful power of doing good andevil; and unless you area Chinaman

'Well,' he.said'you know Clenner has — krTaVtto s^/more" ofa way of doing strange things. Dependupon it, he has good reasons for hisconduct.'

I was sitting at my desk two dayssubsequently, when the door glidednoiselessly open and Clenner himselfentered.

'You are back again, sir? and whatuck?'

'The best.''You don't mean to say you've got

him?''I do mean to say it. Edward Mer-

edith, I knew I could not be entirelymistaken. Perley Matteson is in thenext room—half an hour from now hewill be in prison.'

'Where did you apprehend him f'At home in his mother's house.''But ''He was there all the time you re-

mained thete. Ned, my boy, you'vemade a blunder for once; but don't lett happen again.'

'What do you mean, sir ?'For reply he opened the door of the

private inner apartment, his own spec-al sanctum. A slight boyish figure

leaned against the window smoking acigarette, with black curls tossed back:rom a marble white brow, and bril-iant eyes. He mockingly inclined hislead as I stared at him with a motionnot unfamiliar to me.

'Clara Matteson!"'Yes,' he said, in a soft, sarcastic

voice. 'Clara Matteson.or Perley Mat-eson, or whatever you choose to call

me! Many thanks for your politeness,Detective Meredith; and if you wouldlike another lock of hair "

I turned away.burning scarlet, whileMr. Clenner closed the door.

"Never mind, my boy, it will be aesson to vou,' he said laughing. 'He

makes a very pretty girl, but I am notat all susceptible.'

What a double-dyed fool I had been!had lost the reward—failed in the

estimation of my fellow-officers—andaehaved like a brute to poor Kitty—and all for what?'

1 went to Kitty and told her thewhole story, and to my surprise thedear faithful little creature loved mejust as well as ever.

'I won't be jealous of Perley Matte-son, Edward,' she said, smiling, 'what-ever I might be of his sister. And,dearest, don't be discouraged. I'll waitas long as you please, and you will bea second Mr. Clenuer yet.'

She was determined to look on thebright side of things, this little Kittyof mine! But I felt the mortificationnone the Ie3s keenly, although, as Mr.Clenner said, it would undoubtedlyprove a good lesson to me.

Perley Matteson's girlish beauty iseclipsed in the States prison—nor do Ipity 'him. The stake for which heplayed was high—and he lost!'

It is with the following words thatDr. Pichon closes his account of theepizootic of 1879-80: "Most authorsare silent as to the quality of the milkyielded by cattle during thr prevalenceof epizootics. It is possible that ex-perience has not as yet supplied suffi-cient ground for its condemnation, andit is true that while a diminution ofmilk secretion is usually an earlysymptom in almost all diseases of thecow, complete suppression of that se-cretion accompanies any aggravationor prolongation of disease. The sourceof danger is thus removed by the oper-ation of natural causes, and the discus-sion is narrowed to the questionwhether milk secreted at the veryonset may not have acquired hurtfulproperties. In this state of uncer-tainty, which has not been cleared upby any authority on hygiene, the pre-caution of boiling the milk should beadopted. Boiling destroys any infec-tious germs that it may contain/'

The reader will easily perceive howour intimacy had progressed. Shesmiled, hung her head, and taking apair of scissors from the table, severedone bright black curl from the abund-ant tresses that hung over her fore-head.

'Keep this, Mr. Meredith, in memoryof me.'

Was I foolish to press the jetty ring-let to my lips ere I laid it closelyagainst my heart? Clara evidentlythought I was—for she had laughed,but did not seem displeased.

Mr. Clenner seemed annoyed when Igot back to the Bureau—rather an un-reasonable proceeding on his part, for I

PROLIFIC AND LONG-LIVED FAMI-LIES.—The Hartford, Conn., Post saysthat among recent application for lifeinsurance was one of 53 years, whosefifteen living sisters were from 35 to63 years old, their ages running asfollows: 35, 36, 38, 40, 42, 43, 45, 47,49, 51, 55, 57, 59, 61, 63. Anotherapplicant stated that he was 37 yearsof age, and that he had eleven brothersand ten sisters. His father died at theage of 65 years, but his mother wasliving at 67 and in good health. Theages of the children, twenty-two innumber, ranged from 16 years to 47.A third case was of a man 32 years ofage, who had eleven brothers and fivesisters. His father was 68 years ofage, and had just married his fifth wife.An applicant from Brooklyn belongedto a long-lived race. IDs father haddied at the age of 80 years, his grand-father at 108, and his great-grand-father at 110 years of age, the averageage of the three being a trifle less than100 years.

of tiie good. A Chinaman who cometo a place wiiere there is a Kongsee orHoey of his clansmen is bound to get onif he has any real wish to d» so. Wewill suppose he lias spent his last cop-per coin on his passage, and has land-ed in Rangoon with nothing but theclothes ou his back. He is a Cantonman, and g^es straight off to the GheeHin Koiigsee, finding his was by secretsigns apparently, and without everopening his month; fora guildsmancan reveal h i t s . ; as plainly by theway he reeeives a cup of tea as hecould by reciting all the by-laws ofthe sociely. Aimed at the Kongaee,he obtains an interview with thepresident, the Tuah Koh, tha Ei> =rBrother, and proves his membershipof the brotherhood or the clan he be-longs to. The latter is a very easymatter, for one of the most remark-able things about the Chinese is themultitude of their dialects. You havelearned Mandaric Chinese; you confi-dently use it on a Canton man; hegazas blandly on you, and says, "Nocan speakeo Inglis my." In businessresorts it is a common thing to seetwo Chinamen talking to one anotherin Malay, or Burmese, or even in Eng-lish, because their own native falsettolingoes are mutually unintelligible.Our Canton man having satisfactorilyexplained matters to the ElderBrother, that ancient gentleman refersthe case to the committee. They de-cide to give the applicant a loan of,say, two hundred rupees, bearing alow rate of interest, and billet him offon eight or ten of the wealthier mem-bers of the society. Then the new ar-rival makes a fresh start in life. Hessts up a stall and sells things; or hebuys a sampan, and plie3 for hire onthe river. The merchants he is billet-ed on give him food and shelter, andin return he hews wood, or drawswater, or does other cooly work forthem for an hour or two every day, orduring a certain day in the week.Gradually he makes money—China-men very rarely lose money—and hestarts a home of his own, or joins awarren of fellow-workers. Then hepays off the sum advanced, with theinterest on it; goes on making money;starts a small firm on his own acconnt;makes a present to his guild; growsfat and sleek like all his brother China-:men, and possibly ends by becominghimself a Towkay or headman of hislodge.

The society does not lirait itself toone donation to a newcomer, if it isclear th;:t the first has been worthy, ifunluckily, made use of. I knew aChinaulau, KTioo Kock Seeing, whowas a notable example of oais. Heiad not come from the old country.

He was a Baba Baha, an "eleveno'clock man," i. c., half Chinese, halfMalay, and his parents being dead,came frc.n Penang to Rangoon. Therean adv:;::i'e of iiity rupees started himas a sroiii-l r.ut seller, and hist shrillcry of Viii be-e-h, yih-beb,"waafamil-iar to me for many montl.i). After awhile h>- U-M\ '.;joney -.•' igh to start as'apedd; r: ind two y e later I methim ne.;i L'hayetmyo veiling aboutwith a Linje boat full .i ^ilks and jew-elry and :•>• steriesof all sorts. He hadnowtwn sBlstants. Not long after-ward 1 i lenly came across him in!Range •• -• iiing nuts again, with ahugep 'Vi over the top of his head,and ) o'pnjt much dilapidated, liehad bu ; n u k e d in Upper Burmesewaters i •> h s two men, stabbed, beat-en, and left tor dead on the river bank,his trcaiherous assailants going offwith the boat and ail he possessed. HeLad beggVd his way to Rangoon, got anew advance from the guild, and hadbesrun au.(in at his old trade. Jle usedto cbe.it the little boys out of a nut ortwo for Ihrir p';<e just as he did before,and w •::• b und to do well.

AnoLi i i wccasionon which theKong-see is a blessing to the Chinaman iswhen he dies. Sometimes a Celestialdies poor. The occurrence is rare, butt does happen, ta save him from the

disgrace of being caned off by tlie mu-nicipal authorities like a dead pariahdog, the guild steps in. It provides aoflin—j!O trifling matter, for a Chineseoffln is a huge thing built of slabs

wood nearly a • foot thick, and heavynough to make it a burden for eight

rr.en. Most of the brotherhood attendthe funeral, and drink samshoo, anddance,and make merry,after their man-ner on such occasions; and as the poorChinaman knows that he is sure oithis benevolence, he dies in peace whenhis time comes. In all this the s'ecretsocieties are good to their membersThey never allow a brother, no matteihow stnpid and weak he may be, tostarve. He can always get menia"work from the richer brethren, withoccasional sumptuous feasts at thelodge itself when they are commemorating the tutelary saint of the societysome learned man, or great generafrom their province, or when somericher member is fined for breakingthe regulations. The fine in all buvery flagrant cases takes the shape oa dinner to the brotherhood. A theatrical treupe is always engaged to prom»te digestion, and while the memberlook on from inside the gayly deckebanqneting-hall, the crowd of uninitiaed barbarians outside gape with littlless delight at the gay lanterns and thabsurdities of the stage buffoon. Thmembers can therefore always havsome amusement out of their subscrip

tion money. But it is in the other af-fairs of the lodge, apart from its char-itable deeds, that most members findtheir chief satisfaction; and it is theseother transactions which have drawnthe attention of local governments tothe secret societies, and made them thesubject of special legislation in theStraits Settlements. The object ofeach lodge is not merely to promotethe advantage of its members, but alsoto do the best it can to prevent otherrival lodges from prospering; for therival lodges hate one another with anexceeding hate, the only drawback totheir murderous quarrels being thatthey are sometimes dangerous to thegeneral public.

Night Work and Long Hours.

There is no disease so insidious, norwhen fully developed so difficult tocure, as thj t species of nervous degen-sration or exhaustion produced bynightwork or long hours. It is easy tounderstand how such a state of pros-tration may be induced. The brainand the nervous system have beenvery aptly compared to a galvanic bat-tery in constant use to provide a sup-ply of electric fluid for consumptionwithin a given time. "As long," saysa recent writer, "as supply and demandare fairly balanced.the functions whichowe their regular and correct workingto the fluid are carried on with precis-ion; but, when, by fitful and excessivedemands carried far beyond the meansof supply, the balance is not only lost,but the machine itself is overstrainedand injured—disorder at first and dis-ease afterwards are the result. Thisillustrates pretty clearly the conditionof a well-balanced brain and nervoussystem, supplying without an effort allthe nervous force required in the oper-etions of the mind and body, so long asits work is in proportion to its powers,but if embarrassed by excessive de-mands feebly and fitfully endeavoringto carry on these mental and physicaloperations over which it formerly pre-sided without an effort." The symp-toms of nervous prostration are exceed-ingly painful; we can afford to pity ev-:n the man of pleasure, who has by his

own foolish conduct induced them, bntmuch more so the brain-worker, whohas been burning the midnight oil inthe earnest endeavor to support him-self, and probably a wife and familywith respectability in life. He hasmade a mistake for which we can read-ly forgive him. In the pleasurableixcitement of honest toil he has for-gotten that the supply of work cannotis regulated by the demand or need fort, but by the power to produce it. Helas been living on his capital as wellas the interest thereof, and when he finds;he former failing—when he finds helias no longer the strength to work aslie used to do, and starvation itselfprobably staring him in the face if heceases to toil, why the very thought ofcoming collapse tends only to hastenthe catastrophe, and reason itself maytotter and fall before the continuedmental strain.

Probably the first sign of failing ner-vous energy is given by some of thearge organs of the body; it may be

functional derangement of the heart,with fluttering or palpitation, or inter-mittent pulse, and shortness of breathin ascending stairs or walking quickly.The st»mach may give timely warning,and a distaste for food, or loss of appe-iite, with acidity, flatulence and irreg-ularity of the bowels, may point to lossof vitality from waste unrepaired. Orbrain symptoms may point out to thepatient that things are going wrong.He may not find himself able to workwith his usual lifeand activity; hemayhave fits of drowsiness, or transientattacks of giddiness, or pain, or heavi-ness, or loss of sleep itself. This latterwould be a very serious symptom in-deed, for in sleep not only are the mus-cular and nervous tissues restored andstrengthened, but there is for the timebeing a cessation of waste itself; andif sleep be essential to the ordinaryhealthy man, it is much more so to himwhose mental faculties have been over-tasked. Long hours and nightworklead to loss of sleep, and loss of sleepmay lead to insanity and death. Lossf memory, whether transient or gen-ral, is a sure sign that the brain hasosfc its power of healthy action, andeeds rest and putrition to restore it.rritability of temper, and fits of mel-ncholy, both point in the same direc-on, to an exhausted nervous system,fow I may safely say that there areery luany thousands of brain-workers

The Surrender of Yorktown.

At noon of the 19th (October) wehave the first act of surrender. York-town changed hands. Two redoubtson the left of the enemy's works wereat that hour taken possession of by de-achments from the allied army. Col-

onel Richard Butler commanded theAmerican and the Marquis Laval theFrench party, each of one hundredmen. At twe o'clock we reach theclosing scene. The army of Cornwallismarched out as prisoaers of war,[rounded their arms, and then march-sd back. Accounts agree in describ-ng the display and ceremony on the

occasion as., quite imposing. The Brit-sh appeared in new uniforms, distrib-

uted among them a few days before,and it only required the flying of theirstandards to give their inarch the ef-fect of a holiday parade. But theirolors were cased, and they were pro-

hibited from playing either a Frenchr an American tune. This was the

return of a compliment, a piece of jus-ifiable as well as poetic retaliation onhe part of the Americans for whathe enemy were pleased to command

when General Lincoln was compelled;o surrender at Charleston the year be-ore. The matter came up at theneeting of the commissioners. "This

a harsh article," said Ross to..aurens.

Whieh article?" answered the lat-er.

"The troops shall march out, witholors cased, and drums beating a Brit-sh or a German march."

"Yes sir," returned Laurns, with aouch of sang froid, "it is a harsh arti-le."

Then," said Ross, "if that is yourpinion, why is it here?''Whereupon Laurens, who had been

nade prisoner at Charleston withincoln's army, proceeded to remind-oss that the Americans on that o r -ion had made a brave defense, butere ungallantly refused any honors of

urrender, other than to march outith colors cased and drums not beat-

ag a British or a German inarch.But," rejoined Ross, "my Lord

ornwallis did not command at Chareston."

"There, sir, said Laurens, "you ex-ort another observation. It is not theodividual that is here considered; it is

nation. This remains an article,r I cease to be a commissioner."Nothing more was to be said; the ar-

lcle stood, and the enemy marched outith colors cased, while the tune theyhose to follow was an old British

march with the quite appropriate title"The World Turned Upside

)own."As the prisoners moved out of theirorks along the Hampton road, they

ound the French and Americanrmies drawn up on either side of theay, the Americans on their right, and

xtending for more than a mile towardfield of surrender. The French

roops presented a brilliant spectaclen their white uniforms, with plumednd decorated officers at their head, andeorgeous standards of white silk, em-roidered with golden fleurs-de-lis,oating along the line. The Americans

were less of an attraction in outwardppearance, but not the less eagerlyyed by their late antagonists. Among:ie war-worn Continentals there wasariety of dress, poor at the best, dis-mguishing the men of different lines;ut, to compensate for lack of show,lere was a soldierly bearing aboutlem which commanded attention. The

militia formed in their rear presentedless martial sight, so far as clothingnd order were concerned. But allhese men were conquerors, and theirery appearance bespoke the hardshipsnd privation they and their states hadndergone to win in the struggle. Atlie head of the respective lines weretie commanding generals, nobly mount-

ed—Washington, llochamboau, Lalayette, Lincoln, Steuben, Knox. andlie rest. Leading the British cameJeneral O'Hara instead of Cornwallis.'he latter pleaded illness, but he sentis sword by O'Hara to be given up toWashington. As Ollaia advanced tohe chief, he was referred to Lincoln,who upon receiving the sword as aoken of the enemy's submission, im-

mediately returned it to the Britishgeneral, Whose troops then marchedietween the two lines to a field on theight, where they grounded their arms.

A Minnesota man tells this: Aboufour years ago he caught a three-pouncbass. As he did not want small fishhe threw the body back into the water,but before doing so, tied a little toytin whistle to its tail. Three years la-ter he caught the same fsh, whichweighed twelve pounds, and the tinwhistle had grown to be an enormcusfog horn.

PRESIDENT GARFIELD'S CHUKOTI.—The opinion has been expressed thatthere is somemething "queer" in thereligion of the Christian .Church towhich President Garfield belongs, andmany people are inclined to adopt thisopinion. That there is no cause forsuch a belief is evident from the wordsof Alexander Campbell, who in 1833wrote in reply to a question: "A complete scriptural reformation is urgecand defined; having for its speciiied object to inculcate and reduce to practicethat simple originnal form of Christianity, expressly exhibited on thsacred page; without attempting to inculcate anything of human authorityof private opinion, or inventions omen, as having any place in the constitution, faith, or worship of thChristian Church, or anything as matter of Christian faith or duty, fowhich there cannot be expressly produced a 'thus saith the Lord,' either iexpress terms or by approved prece-dent."

Speaking of the recent forest fires inthis state the Scientific American says :Lessons of this nature, happily not BOsevere, occur almost every year, cer-tainly every dry Beason, teaching theunwisdom of the common practice bynew settlers of surrounding themselveswith materials for future conflagra-tions. Forests are cleared and vast ac-umulations of bush, tree limbs, wasteumber, and the like are alowed to formn all sides. At last there comes annevitable drought, with a chance thatie rubbish will not yield to small and

solated fires. Ordinarily the brushres are confined to the clearings, andre easily kept under control. Occa-ionally, as in the recent instanse, andimilarly ten years ago, a general con-agration ensues, and a terrible prices paid in property ancl [suffering andoss of life for ihe n^giect to burn therush Le ips in detail and at seasonshen they will not bum so rapidly.

THE FIRST AMERICAN RAILROAD.—The first railroad constructed in Amer-ca was designed to carry granite from

quarries at Quincy, Mass., to the near-est tidewater. It was built in 1826,wooden rails with wrought-iron platesbeing laid on stone sleepers. It wassupplied with the first turn-table everused and with the first eight-wheeled

i ever made. The second Americanrailroad was opened in May, 1827, fromMauch Chunk to the Lehigh River.These early roads were operated byhorses or gravity. The first locomo-tive actually put into use in the UuitedStates was imported from England hithe spring of 1829 and placed upon atrack built by the Deleware and Hud-son Canal Company during the pre-vious year. The first railroad companyempowered by charter to carry passen-gers and freight was begun July 4,1828, on the highway now occupiedby the Baltimore and Ohio. At theoutset the cars were drawn by mules.The first locomotive treed hi Americafor drawing passenger cars was builtin Baltimore in 1830- An eight-wheel-ed double carriage similar to those or-iginally used on the Quincy granite roadwas, for the first time in the UnitedStates, drawn by a steam locomotiveon the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad in1834.

People should remember that in thi>climate the way to preserve health isto light fires in grates and furnaces upon all cool or damp evenings. Thereis no better prophylactic to every formof disease than good fires in the house.Damp walls and clothing are fruitfulsources of ills in many homes.

Death of Jonathan Shearer.

This well known Michigan pioneer diedat his home m Plymouth, September 2ti,aged 85 years. He was born in Franklincounty, Massachusetts, received an aca-demic education, taught school in NewYork, studied law and medicine, andfinally came to the conclusion that farmlife would suit him belter than the prac-tice of a profession. In 1822 he purchaseda small farm in L'helps, Ontario county,N. Y., where he lived until 1830, whenhe came to Michigan, lie traveled onfoot along the Indian trails through a,great portion of the slate and located1,300 acres of land, 040 of which were inIugham county, which he named Bunkerbill, in commemoration of the battle ofthe revo.ution in which his father hadfought. On his first land-lookiug excur-sion he left Detroit for the interior of theslate, lie traveled to Ann Arbor aud onto Dexter, and found that there was notaverns west of that place, but a manlived five miles out named Henry War-ner. It was on Sunday morning when hereached Mr. Warner's. The road endedthere and an Indian trail led through thewoods westward. He followed Hie nailaud was greatly delighted with the beau-tiful scenery, the gems of lakes, the oakopenings, with herds of handsome andactive deer skipping over the soil. Aftertraveling twelve miles he came to the logcabin of a settler, who had just built it,and was ready to bring his family fromthe east. Mr. Sneaivr asked him how hewas oil' for provisions, aud he said"pretty short," but he had a johnuy-cakewhich he was willing to share. Hefound it was twenty miles to the nexthouse.

From there he came to the mouth ofthe Cedar river where i1. empties inloGrand river, the present site of the city ofLausing, aud took tea with the Indianchief, Okemos. The meal consisted ofcorn soup. Mr. Shearer had come here totake up the section of land where Lansingnow stand?, but there were no schoolhouses in the country, and after debatingwhether it was best to give his children agood education or a section of land, hechose the former and let the land go.

He then traveled about the country forseveral days, and during three days of thetime subsisted on slippery elm and bass"wood bark. In his travels he had foundtwo acquaintances who like himself weretrying to look for themselves,and togetherthey wandered thiough the forests. Oneday they came to a cow feeding in amarsh, aurt Mr. Shearer exclaimed,"Glory to God ! we are near civilization."It was the most joyful sight he had everbeheld. They soon came to a log housewhich had a blanket hung up for a door.Mr. Shearer knocked, and a most beauti-ful little woman pulled the blanket aside.Her husband had gout) alter their goods.She inviteu the nun in and gave them ameal of johnny-cake and milk. Her namewas Tanner, and she lived in Henrietta,Jackson country.

He finally selected fora homestead 120acres in Plymouth, Wayne county, andtook great pride in its cultivation. Hehas obtained many premiums at statefair-., including two large silver in-and oue year lie received a premium forthe best cultivated farm in "Wayne county.lie was appointed a colonel of Michiganmilitia by Governor .Mason, held vanou-tuwnsliip and county offices, was a state

ior from 1842 to 1844, and a rep re-xentalive during the session of 1851.—While in tlie senate lie secured the pas-tacti of the law to establish county agri-cultural societies, and was instrumental inthe establishment of the normal scheol atYpsihirti. lie was also one of the primemovers in the formation of the state agri-cultural) society, and was a vice presidentof that organization for ten years. He alsohelped to organize the stale pioneer soci-ety, and was its president during 1876.

•Mr. Shearer's first wife was ChristianaDeuvall of Newport, It. I., whom hemarried in 1822, and who died in 1867.They had six children, only two of whomGeorge Shearer of Jackson and JosephShearer of Greenville, are now living. In1871 he married Lydia Gray of Ashrield.Massachusetts. He was an old-line Jcf-fersonian democrat in politics, and wasgreatly esteemed for his integrity ofcharacter and kindness of heart.

Regents' Meeting.The special committee to whom was re-

ferred the charges made by Prof. DonaldMaclean of the department of medicine

and surgery, against Prof. E. C. Franklinjf the homeopathic department, by a resolution of June 20, to whom was referredon July 1, the general subject of mutualconcern between the two medical schools,report that the charges of Dr. DonaldMaclean are three iu number.

1. That Dr. Franklin circulated a re-poit that Dr. Maclean in a certain diffi-cult surgical operation had caused thedeath of a patient by tying the pueumo-gaslric nerve.

2. That in his printed report to a medi-cal association he has falsely stated thatthe clinic of the homeopathic college wasfar more extensive than that of the otherdepartment.

3. That iu the same report he hid iuglowing terms detailed the particulars ofacase of neuralgia in the foot, which Dr.Maclean had declared incurable except byamputation, and which he had cured,winch particulars Dr. Maclean alleged tobe false.

As to the first charge, Dr. Franklinstaled to the committee that such a liga-tured nerve was in his possession, sent tohim from Monroe, and alleged to havebeen taken from the body ol the patientmentioned; but he denied emphaticallythat he had promulgated iu any publicmanner or place any such charge againstDr. Maclean. The committee report that,in justice to Dr. Maclean they are satis-lieu by testimony of assistants in the operalion that the charge of iyiug the pueu-inogastric nerve is utterly withoul foun-dation.

Assessment and Taxation,

The tax commission continues to re-ceive replies to its circular in regard tothe assessment and levying of taxes, andthe ideas expressed are somewhat at var-iance.

A gentleman writing from Dowagiac,who has hadl experience as an assessorin New York as well as in Michigan,thinks that all church property above$5,000 should be taxed; and that all per-sonal property which is exempt fromsale under execution should be exempt.To change the highway laws so as to com-pel the payment of the tax iu moneywould be a hardship on the poor man,difficult of collection, and without nnygeneral improvement of the highways, asthe money in most cases would be ex-pended by incompetents, or in favoredlocalities.

The legal rate of interest should be es-tablished at 7 per cent. It should bemade the duty of all assessors to inquireinto aud prosecute all cases of perjury.

One great defect in the present systemis the taxation of properly to persons whoare in possession, but are not the actualowners, while the bona ride owners es-cape. As an illustration he says that afew years ago he was compelled under[he present unjust system to assess a poorman on $10,000 worth of property, whenhe was not actually worth $1, but asharper had his real aud personal prop-erty all covered wilh mortgages. Theproperty should have been ast-essed to theman holding the mortgages, but he es-caped entirely while the poor man Wascompelled to pay the tax, and the nextyear was turned out of his home penni-less, with a large family on his hands tosupport. The occupant of mortgagedproperly should be compelled to pay thetax, but provision should be made for himto make an offset on the first payment tothe mortgagee, or the actual owner, ofany other obligation, secured by law outhe property taxed.

The true princi"al on which taxesshould be levied is to lax every man onwhat he actually ^vvns, no more, and nolew. It is notorious that our most weal-thy men manage to escape taxation ou alarge proportion of their personal prop-erty. A clause should be inserted in thelaw, if possible to punish favoritism byassessors. An instance is mentionedwhere three of the wealthiest men in atown, by great exertion, elected a super-visor by eight votes, and those three men

not assessed one-half the personalproperty which they were known to pos-sess.

A special tax should be levied on cor-porate property sufficient to pay all stateexpenditures,and counties and municipal-ities should be exempt from taxation forstite purposes.

The mill tax for school purposes shouldbe abolished, and each district raise sulli-cier.t funds to maintain free schools.

A gentleman writing from Ann Arborcomprehends the difficult work whichthe commission must perform. Patienceand labor, he thinks, are the necessaryelements to reach a successful result. Theuncertainty of the tax law as it nowstands, and the seeming anxiety of thesupreme court to find some outlet or loophole to defeat existing state liens, make itbetter to have harsh laws, and have themcertain, than loose and uncertain ones.Uncertainty is the bane of human tran-sactions.

This writer would uot tax church prop-erty, cemetaries, or chureh pews. liewould exempt the property now exemptby the general statute, with the exceptionof the $250 clause to enable a person tocarry on his trade or business. In citiesand villages highway taxes&hould be pai.iin money, but in townships it should beat the option of the taxed to pay in laboror money. The counties should cairy thedelinquent taxes.

Bonds, mortgages, and credits of loanedmoney should be sworn to. It is impos-sible to say or know what amount is dueon such obligations, or where they arelocated.

The writer mentions instances of per-sons who have gone to neighboring townsduring the assessing season and claimthat to be their home, and then return tothe city the balance of the year in orderto avoid taxation: and they also loanlarge amounts of money in other countiesto avoid just taxation. The poor mancannot secrete or hide his house and lot:

The great point in taxation should be toclear up the clouds ou titles and keepthem from accumulating. He suggeststhat sales and leases of lands should bemade void if taxes are due to county orstate. Of course this would necessitate acertificate from the auditor general or thecounty treasurer. If ihere should be dis-pute as to the legality of the tax, or taxes,let a deposit be made with the countytreasurer to abide the result, or somethingto that effect.

Church property shoulj be taxed ongeneral principles, but what is every one'sbusiness is no one's, and hence it is neg-lected. Furthermore, it would involvemore trouble than it would amount to,aud therefore thii Ann Arbor man says"no tax."

When the stamp law was in force anddeeds were void without stamps, stampswere invariably used. Let the non-pay-ment of taxes operate in a similar man-ner—no title unless clear from taxes. Thiswriter closes by saying that ex post factolaws cannot be passed, but in the matterof taxation he would go as far in thatdirection as possible.—[Lansing Republi-can.

Dedication of the New IlnptiNtClmrch.

The. handsome new editiceof the First Bap-tist church was dedicated on Thursday, ser-vices being held in the afternoon and evening.At the afternoon services Professor Olney,chairman of the building committee, gave areport of what had hoen done, the principallacts of which are noted below. The prayerof dedication was offered by the pastor, Rev.Dr. Haskell. Rev. S. Graves, D.D., o<' GrandRapids, preached the dedicatory sermon,which was an able address. The serviceswere interspersed with appropriate music. Inthe evening Rev. Dr. Burton preached, andshort addresses were made by local pastors.

THE NEW CHURCH.

f-ome years ago the church purchased thebeautiful lot upon which the new building iserected, nnci in January, 1879, resolved tobuild. By iho following July the plans andestimates had l*en obtained and the prehini-

ary work of obtaining sub.- criptious was be-gun, the subscription list hcing formallyopened September 7. From first to last it hasbeen the settled purpose of the society not tog" in rtobt. and this resolution has been faith-fully kept. Another principle adopted by thechairman of the building committee, whichhas worked admirably, was to lay the matterfully before each person and then withouturgency leave him to say what he would giveand when he would pay it. The plan workedexcellently well and the building committeehas never been without funds and has neverbeen compelled to "drum up" funds to meetexigencies. The people have been kept fullyadvised of the progress of the work and inevery instanco the money has been in thetreasury before it has been needed. Not adozen persons have been asked for their pay-ments, and these in no way of urgency.

The plan has worked so well that there isnot a dollar on the subscription books whichwill not be paid; indeed, there is now but%Vt 50 of unsettled subscriptions, and therenre. n fe / items, not needed at present, whichhave been put into notes ($212), due when anorjjcau in purchased.

THE TOTAL COST

nt die church and lot has been as follows:Dot, about $3,000; church and furnishing,$25,319. Friends of the church abroad havecontributed abjut $4,000. Of this amountCleveland, 0., gave $337 and a friend in NewYork city $50. The Sunday schools of thestate raised $500, the Detroit churehes gaveabout $2,000, the ladies benevolent society ofthe church paid in $2,837 and the Sundayschool $500. There ia now a- balance of$1,200 on hand to be applied toward the pur-chase of an organ, which the church expects to have by midwinter.

For convenience and practical usefulnessthe church

CANNOT BE SURPASSED.

The planisgothic and the building of roughstone, with a slate roof. It has an elevationproper of 64x54 feet, with 80 feet transepts andislOO feet deep. The interior is finished inblack ash and black walnut. The audienceroom will seat 750 regularly, with a possiblecapacity of 1,000. The interior decorationsare very fine. The carpenter work, the seat-ings and the frescoing could not well be im-proved. The church is supplied with all themondern conveniences—a conference r*om 30x38, which can readily be enlarged to 48x56feet, Sunday school rooms, which can bethrown together by dropping the glass parti-tions ; a pastor's room, a well-supplied kitch-en, dining room, dressing room and bapistery.

Ground was broken for the church in Sep-tember, 1879, and the basement walls werecompleted that fall. The next spring workwas commenced on the main walls and hassince gone on uninterruptedly. By Christmas,1880, the church was able to use the base-ment rooms for a festival, and by spring, 1881,the basement rooms were finished and thesteam heating apparatus was in.

The 8iiccesslul manner in which the build-ing has gone lorward in due very largely toProfessor Olnev. the chairman of the buildingcommittee, who-e oversight of the work andfinancial management has been most thoroughand efficient. Mr. Morwick, who superinten-ded the work in the earlier stages, did excel-lent work, nearly gratuitously. Every por-tion of the work has been thoroughly welldone. The stone work was done by WalkerBros, and the carpenter work by H. W.Codington, of Kalamazoo The glass was putin by Friedrick & Staffin, of Detroit, and thefrescoing by Henry Hork, of the same place;the gas fitting by Field * Hunt; the seating bythe Nashville furniture company, and thecushions by Osterman, of New York.

There are sketches, with por-traits, of Rev. Geo. Osborn. D. D., andRev. T. De Witt Talrnage, D. D., who, itis announced, assumes editorial charge ofThe Sunday Magazine with the Decembernumber. His fine literary taste and greatpopularity will not fail to increase the al-ready large circulation of this favoriteperiodical. It will continue to be sold at$8 per annum, or 25 cents a number,postpaid. Address Frank Leslie, pub-lisher, 53, 55 and 57 Park Place, NewYork.

One of the old-fashioned, motherly,trood nurses, who used to flourish beforeur medical schools turned out a regiment

of full-blown physicians every year, orour newspapers puffed so many quacknostrums into notoriety, claims to haved scovered a remedy for consumption.She says: '"It has cured a number of casesafter they had commenced bleeding at thelungs and the hectic flush was already onthe cheek.. After trying this remedy tomy own satisfaction, I have thoughtphilanthropy required that I should let itbe known to the world. It is commonmullein, steeped strongly and sweetenedwith coffee sugar, aud drank freely.YToung or old plants are goods, dried inthe shade and kept in clean bags. Themedicine must be continued from threeto six months, according to the nature ofthe disease. It is very good for tbe bloodvessels, also. It strengthens and buildsup the system instead of taking away thestrength. It makes good blood and takesinflammation away from the lungs. It isthe wish of the writer that every period-ical in the United States. Canada, andEurope should publish this recipe for thebenefit of the Human familj. Lay thisby and keep it in the house ready foruse.—Lansing Republican.

start before the company got there andthe loss, by fire and water, amounts tobetween $7,000 and $8,000.

A SUSPENDED AQUEDUCT.—A cheapsuspension aqueduct was invented andused by some miners in California in1852. A river ran between two bluffs,one of which was considerably higherthan the other. Water was availableon the one, but it did not "pan out" aswell as that upon the lower. Somesailors including the mate of thewhaler, took up a claim, and succeededin making a hose of strong duck, abouteight inches in diameter, and stretch-ing it Irom the higher to tbe lower hill,by means of a strong rope runningthrough it. Water was then carriedthrough this weak hose, which couldnot have resisted the pressure if lower-ed into the valley, and the ingenioussailors realized handsome fortunes outof the land that had been hithertoworthless.

The extra session of the Senate, call-ed to meet October 10th for executivebusiness, will at the outset have todeal with questions that in ordinarytimes would bring into play partisanopposition and strife.

It is, claimed bysome that every State should have avoice in the organization of the Senateand in the election of its officers, andespecially when, as in the present case,the presiding officer to be chosen maypossibly become President of the wholenation. On the other hand, the Re-publicans will not have a clear majori-ty of the Senate, and there are Repub-lican Senators who will not strenuous-ly oppose the election of a conservativeand fair minded Democrat. Indica-cations now point to Senator Bayard asthe man,

There are other offices to be filled. Itis not unlikely that the President willnominate a candidate to fill the vacan-cy on the Supreme Bench, caused bythe death of Judge Clifford. There areseveral Indian agents to be appointed,a Commissioner of Railroads, formerlycalled Auditor; Superintendent of theMint at New Orleans, and a number ofpostmasters, besides several appoint-ments on the army retired list, and pro-motions in the army and navy.WHAT WILL BE DONE WITH GUITEAU

Is a matter of considerable discus-sion. His indictment by the grandjury is the first step to be taken andthere will probably be no difficultyabout procuring such indictment formurder. But how long he can delaythe trial, and where he must be tried,are questions about which there is con-siderable talk. Some decisions of theU. S. courts made in this District, insimilar cases of shooting, when theparties shot died outside of the District,required the trial to take place wherethe victim died; but it is thought bythe Attorney General that the simplestatutory provision, that every manwho murders another in the Districtshall suffer death, will cover the wholeground and give the District courts fullcontrol of the case.

Guiteau's brother-in-law, a lawyerby the name of Seoville, will defendthe assassin. The defense will be in-sanity. The New Jersey authoritiesdo not want any thingto do with Guiteau, and he will undoubtedly be triedin the District.

THE NEW PRESIDENT.

Since the shooting of President Gar-field, Mr. Arthur has won many friendsby his sympathetic interest and evidentdesire for the President's recovery,His inaugural address, if such it maybe called, also gives promise that thebest hopes of the people will be realiz.ed in his policy. But too much mustnot be expected. The new President hashis friends, and he has the reputationof proving faithful to his friends. Itneed not be a surprise, therefore, ifthere should be some changes in cabi-net and other positions.—These, weare assured, will not materially affectthe policy of the Government or dis-turb the business of the country.President Arthur is in accord with thefinancial policy pursued by the admin-istration, and will do nothing to inter-rupt it or prevent its future success.His action in the N. Y. custom houseindicates that he will not remove com-petent officers without cause; and it isprobable that only those nearest to him,and with whom he must have confi-dential relations, will be chosen fromamong his personal friends. SenatorJones, Gen. Grant and Mr. Conklingwill feel more at home at the AVhiteHouse when Gen. Arthur occupies itbut whether they will have such pre-ference as to drive away others who donot always think and act with themremains to be seen. Thus far thePresident has been very discreet andhas won many of those who were dis-tant from him.

THE ST All ROUTE PROSECUTIONS.

are to be vigorously pushed. Mr.James has said to Prest. Arthur thatif he is to remain in charge of thepostoffice department, even temporari-ly, all fraud m that department mustbe punished.and Prest. Arthur respond-ed that he had no desire to change thepolicy of the Postmaster General—that those who defrauded the Govern-ment deserve and should receive pun-shment. This has come to the knowl-edge of the ring, and has created greatconsternation among its members.

President Arthur.

Chester Alan Arthur was born in thetown of fairrield, Franklin county, Vt.,Oct. 5, 1830. He was the eldest of twosons; he had four sisters older and twoyouuger than himself. His father, theTtev. Dr. William Arthur, was a Bap-;ist clergyman, who came to the Unit-ed States from Ballymena, Ireland,when only eighteen years old, and diedn Newtonville on October 27th, 1875.He was pastor of the Calvaiy Baptistchureh, Albany; and also of Baptisthurches at Bbnniugton. Hinesburg,

and sundry other places.Chester A. Arthur's preparation for

college began in Union Village, Wash-'.ngton couuty, N. Y., and was conclud-ed at the grammar school at Schenecta-dy. In 1845 he entered Union College,from which he was graduated at theage of eighteen years in 1848. Upongraduation he went to a law school atBailston Springs and there remainedstudying for several months. He thenreturned to Lansingburgh, where hisfather then resided, and studied law.In 1851 he obtained a situation as prin-ciple of an academy at North Pownal,"Vermont. He prepared boys for col-lege, all the while studying law.

Two years after he left North Pow-nal, in 1853, a stud.nt from WilliamsCollege named James A. Garfield cauwto that place, and in the same acaO^ uvbuilding taught penmanship throughoutone winter. It was a singular circum-stance that after nearly a quarter of acentury both these men should meetat a great political convention and un-expectedly to themselves be chosen asthe candidates of the Republican partyfor President and "Vice President. Mr.Arthur came to New York in 1853 andentered the office of E. D. Culver as alaw student.

In the year 1856, Mr. Arthur beganto be prominent in politics in NewYork city, having taken an active in-terest in politics elsewhere at a veryearly age. He sympathized with theWhig poety, and was an ardent admirerof Henry Clay. His first vote wascast in 1852 for Winfield Scott forPresident. Mr. Arthur was a delegateto the convention at Saratoga thatfounded the Republican paity. Dur-ing these political labors he became ac-quainted with Edwin D. Morgau andgained his ardent friendship. Gov.Morgan when re-elected in 1860, testi-fied to his high esteem for Arthur bymaking him Engineer-in-Chief < n hisstaff.

The day after Fort Sumter wa firedupon, while on h s way to lualaw of-fice, he received a despatch lrjir. Gov-ernor Morgan summoning him to Al-bany. Upon reaching there GovernorMorgan requested him to open a branchquartermaster's department in NewYork city, and to fulfill all the t1 .tiesthere of Quartermaster-General. TheGovernor put in his hands the duty ofquartering, subsisting, unifoi aing,equipping, and arming New Yjrk'ssoldiers for the war. It was not onlya herculean task, but was one or spec-ial difficulty, for there was no ' roadroad of experience to guide the /oungman.

There was nothing for which Gener-al Arthur afterward received higherpraise than the way he rose I > theheight of the occasion in all difVi ultiesthat beset him in the toilsome yearswhich followed. He was the drains,the organizing force, that took t..j) rewlevies of New York, put unifor as ontheir backs, muskets in their ' ands,and sent them on to the war.

Governor Morgan practically madehim the war minister of tho state,shifting him from place to placi on hisstaff, and from time to timetransferrigfo him the duties of other milf.:;ry offi-cers of the State, in order thai the workmight be properly and quickly done.His task was 10 create, almcs. out ofnothing, a great department for theprovision and equipment of an army.He succeeded, and had the proud satis-faction of seeing thai New York hadsent one-fifth of all the soldi > rs thatmarched to subdue the Rebillioo—-asplendid contingent of 690,000 men.

In February, 1862, General Arthurwas appointed Insptctor-Geufrul, inwhich position he served wiili gieatefficiency during the central \ eriod ofthe war. On July 7th, 1862, ! e againbecame Quartermaster- General,

Upon his retirement from ofiice, Gen-eral Arthur resumed the activo dutiesof his profession. His pai nershipwith Mr. Gardiner ceased only withthat gentleman's de;ith in 1866. Alonefor over five years, he carried on hi,law practice. It then became so largethat he formed in 1871, the linn ofArthur, Phelps, Kneval & Rai som.

Gradually he was drawn in'o politi-cal life again. He was very innch in-terested in promoting the first elociioiiof President Grant, being cha man ofthe Central Grant club of New York.He also served as chairman ol the exe-cutive committee of the RepublicanState Committee of New York, Here-entered official life on Novr >ber 20,187], being appointed Collector of 1 hePort of New York by Preside> t Grant.

Gen. Arthur was married in 1859 toEllen Lewis Herndon, of Fudericks-burg, Virginia. She was a uaaghteiof Capt. William Lewis HernUni, U. S.N., who in 1851-52 gained wi>i!d-widefame as commander of the ni! :il expe-dition sent by the United St; I s to ex-plore the river Amazon. Tlie heroicdeath of Capt. Heradon, whikj in eon>mand of the U. S. Mail ;' 'nruship'Central American," some twenty

years ago, is still fresh in the iiem'brjof many, and was one of the m b'le deedof which the American navy willways be proud. Mrs. Art:.iir dietsuddenly in the early part of J inumy1880, leaving two children, OhesteAlan Arthur, now aged 17, antEllen Herndon Arthur, now ;oed 9.
