get foored in the long run. Recently,
while selling his strops at Plymouth,
and expatiating the while OF the evils
of rum drinking, tipsy fellow cried
OUT: eff rum drinking made me lie as
fast as you do selling strops I'd quit it
to day." every good" replied the
strop-seller; the only difference be-
tween yopr lying and mino is this: -

Charles Francis Adams, the new
Minister to England, comes of family
eminent in American history. The
grandson of the second and the son OF
the sixth President of the United
States, and himself honorably known
in American politics, he will be well
coined abroad as worthy representa-,
tive of our government Mr.. Adams
was born at Boston in 1907, and re-
eeived all the advantages of thorough
education. His first political promi-
nenoe was as a participant in the Free
soil movement of ls4s, his views on
the subject of slavery being essentially
those of his illustrious father. He pre-
sided over the famous Buffalo Conven-
ton, and was its candidate for Woe
President of the United States. He.
was chosen to Congress in 1853 from
the third district of Massachusetts, con-
sisting of the counties of Norfolk, Mid
dlesex and Worcester, and was re-
elected in 1860. He has occupied an in
fiuential position in Congress, and be-
came conspicuousd during the past winter
as the author of compromise measure
which took his name and created dis
cussion second only to that excited by
the famous proprosition of Mr.. Critten-
den. Mr.. Adams is a gentlemarof of fine
social qualities, and talents of high
order. His edition of the "Life and
Works of John Adams is monument
to his literary ability and industry.
William l.. Dayton, the new Minister,
to France, was born at Baskinridge, in
New Jersey, February IL, 1907; grad,
uated at Princeton College is a lawyer
by profession, and began public life in
the Senate of New Jersey in 1887.
In February, 1888, he was chosen by
the Legislature one of the Associate
Justices of the Supreme Court of New
Jersey, which position he resigned in
lS41; and on the decease of Samuel
L. Southland, United States SENATOR
from that State, in 1912 he was APP
pointed by the Governor to fill the-Ea---
cancy so caused. In March, 1S45, his
appointment was confirmed, and he was
also confirmed for a full term of six
years. He served in the Senate from
Jaly 6, 1912, to March 4. 1851. As
member of the Sehssc Ae->w:S WiI1s
might be called freesoil whig; he
maintained to the fullest extent the
right of Congress to legislate with re-
spect to slavery in the Territories Of
the United States, on which subject he,
expressed his views in speech on the
treaty with Mexico in 1s47. He was
an intimate friend and influential adj
wiser of President Taylor, the policy
of whose Administration he warmly
supported.
At the expiration of his term in the
Senate the Democratic party was in the
ascendancy in the Legislature of New
Jersey,and they chose Robert +. Stock
ton as his successor.
