what a lesson does this event teach. Mr..

the least pretending streets in New York.
This house is as unpreteHdlng as the street.
Mr.. Spicer lives here.s Let us enter. Mrs.
Spicer and family of eh,4Jren from 10
years and under, compose the household Ii
is said to be a sirgular family. DIR. Spicer
Is a singular nan.ss No one ever sees HIM.
The butcher, the milkman, the landlord don't

away early in the morning. He is bust

is never seen in his family. Remain there

Death OF A. ID. Erich.

We were panied yesterday in hearing of
the death of A. D. Erich. one of the Oldest
citizens of Kentuck Ky and know n throughout
the Masonic Fraternity ell over this Onion.
He has been a resident Of Louisville tot
great number of years. and he enj0ved ex-
cellent health, sntil old age prostrated, hin,
His circumstances were very husR5ieS buS
he was one Of the most cheerful and AseS3'
men we have ever known or OF whom we
have ever heard. He always seemed to Us
the very personi6cation of Robert Green's
ancient sonnet TO Content:
"sweet are the thous hts thai SAVIOR of co utent;
Tn quietmind is richer than a crown:
sweet are the nights IN quiet siumoeI spent: -
Such content such mind such sleep, such bliss
Besgars enjoy, where princes Oft 10 mss, -
The homely house that harbors quiet rest,
+ n The cottsge that affords no pyide care,
The mean, thatgress with humble music BEST
The sweet consort or mirth's and muscs fare.
Obscured life sets down type of bliss; saI
A mind content both crown and kingdom IL"
. We have known old father Erich nearly a
quarter of century, and we never saw him
with cloud upon his brow. He seemed to
have an eternal play Of sunshine in bis soul
that beamed in every accent Of his tongue
and in every sct OF his life. He was
thorough proficient in music, and read the
most complicated pieces at sight. In his
younger days he must have been fine vo.
calist. He was thorough devotee of
flowers, aud was as successful man in the
cultivation Of fruits as any one we have ever
known. In every department Of the floral
kingdom he was master, ana no lover of
money ever enjoyed purer pleasure in look
ing at his accumulating boards than our old
friend did in watching the opening of his
flowers. One Of the last pleasure he ever
conferred upon US was in giving US the op.
| portunity Of presenting him a Pyrus Japonica
Of the scarlet species. II cheered the last
days that he was able to devote in out door
employments. We hope that it will be
planted over his grave, and as its floral
beauties open over the snow covered ground
in early spring, let 1t remind his surviving
| frie nds that his body shall hereafter spring
from its winding sheet, "glorifed body"
Old father Erich had remarkable api-
tude for the acquisition of language and was
able 10 converse fuently in some fourteen Or
fifteen. slt
In the order of Masonry he occupied the
highest rank. He loved the oYder throughout
his long life aud his memory will long live
among "the brothers Of the mystic."r His
virtues are we'll worthy Of RENE mbrance.
We tender to his surviving family our
sincere condoleme MS in their affection. But
they must feel great consootio in knowing
that their loss is his gain. He was a sincere
and devoted member OF the Methodist Church
for large part OF his long life, and he
"adorned the doctrine Of his profession by a
lpious walk and godIy conversation" In the
resurrection Of the just he will reappear.

Why Mr.. Chapman should assume to possess SO
much penetration and prescience in this matter
while every "old line" paper and their other al
lies resolutely advocate no election, we are I'M
able TO discover. We hope he is right in hi.
conieciuses, but we fear he is too ready TO be

advances many cogent reasons why the Senate
should and will 60 into an election, and say.
there are many more untold, but any school boy
could reason as well.
IfMr. c., will but revert to bisown experience
and make some candid confessions, he will tel
us that such Logic as he now uses, has not unfre
quently been employed before, against This same
spoils LOVING party, loo unsuccessfully to admit o
a ray of hoTe now. 1t is nothing new for TIT
Old Line Democracy TO sin against both ''ligh
and knowledge" when Offices and party powe
are to be gained or lost. Il is argued By Mr..
that the present majority in the Senate dare no
refuse 10 60 into an election, because 'the risl
I offuiure danger will be greater than the adyan

but who ever saw Old Line Democracy permi
