Death of Richard Rush.

Un Saturday last, Hon. Richard Rush died
at his residence in this city, after an illness of
more than month, the fatal termination OF
which has for some time been anticipated
The event will excite regret all over the couu-
try, for Mr.. Rush was a national mau, IN every
sense of the word, and one Of the few of the
past generation of public men that remained
among US.
Richard Rush was born in Philadelphia,
August, 1880. he was sou of the famous
DR.. Benjamin Rush, who was one of the sIguers
of the Declaration of Independence. He
graduated at Princeton in 1897, and afterwards
studied law in Philadelphia, where, in 1871, !,
he was appointed by Governor Snyder, Attor-
ney General of this State. Soon afterwards
he was appointed Comptroller Of the United
States Treasury, and in 1914 Attorney Gener-
al of the United States. When Mr.. Monroe
entered office, ho called on Alr. Rush 10 per-
form The duties of Secretory of State during
the absenee of Hon. Jobu Quincy Adams
When ME. Adams returned, in 1917, Mr. Rush
was appointed Minister TO England, which
Office he held for sever years aud many years af-
terwards be published very interesting narra-
tive, describing his "Residence at the Court of
st. James," He negotiated the important
treaty, of 1918, which settled the then ex-
listing disputes in regard to the fisheries and
part of our northwestern boundary. His
negotiations also led to President Monroe's
enuuciaton of the famous Monroe Doctrine,
against European interference on this Contin-
ent. In 1926 President Adams recalled Mr..
Rush from England, aud appointed him Secre-
retary of the Treasury, which Office be held
during the whole of Mr.. Adams term. In
the year 1886 he was sent by President jack
son as special agent Of the government to re-
ceive the Smithsonian bequesi, which mission
be successfully fulfilled and retured in 1888
With the entire sum. In 1S4T he was appointed
by President Polk, Minister to France, where
he remained, through the disturbed time of tie
revolution, till the year lS49. Since then he
has been living in the retirement that is most
agreeable to the close Of wel.-spent life, at
bis residence in Philadelphia. He has oc-
casionaly appeared before the public, through
the journals aud at town meetings, when any
important question has arisen. He has also
attended the regular meetings Of the Smithscn-
ian Institute, of which he has been one of the
Regents ever since its organization. Phata.

OH, SING TO ME
BY FINLEY JOHNSON.

On, sing to me, my own beloved,
That sweet and simple stain
That have treasured in my heart
Throughout long years of pain
For its clear tones recall to me
The joys Of bygone days,
When hopes bright sun lit up the path
OF happy childhood's waYs;
And, as / hear the soothing notes,
Ny mind goes wandering back,
And once again tread with joy,
Sweet cbildhood's fairy track,
Oh, would that we, my own beloved,
Could WOO again the shade
Where, in the halcyon days OF youth,
Our wandering footsteps stray
Oh, would that We could sit beside
The dwarish mountain streams,
And mirror, rs in days OF yore,
Our future golden dreams.
But ah, alas! we only now
Their memories can bring,
and soothe the soul with melting tones
OF songs we used to sing.
