TRAIN.-It affords striking illustration of
the ingratitude of republics that the msfor-
tunes of George Francis Train at the west
awaken no sympathy among his friends at the
east. He has only played the tunes which
his friends in standard Boston, (ride Bos-
ton Post) gave him when they wound him up
and set him in motion; but outside of New
England they have almost invariably brought
him to grief. Yet not a word of sympathy
does he get from the class who few months
ago bewildered his vanity with their sinister
applause. George Francis shouldn't waste
his sweetness so at the west where his style
isn't appreciated, but should return to the
friends who fattered and deluded him on his
first return from Europe. STANDARD Bos-
ton" wants hero. The field is open for HIM.

DEATH OF A VETERAN JoURNALIsT.-Hon.
Nathan Hale, senior editor of the Boston
Daily Advertiser, died at his residence in
Brookline, Sunday evening, in the seventy
ninth year of his age, He suffered under a
stroke of paralysis in 1854, but was still in
full enjoyment of his faculties till within
few days of his death. His editorship of the
Advertiser dates from the lst of March, 1914;
and it is stated that he was the first journalist
to introduce as regular feature editorial
comments upon passing events and discus
sions of public topics. The Advertiser, in its
brief notice of his death, says he was one of
the club which founded the ''North American
Review" and subsequently the christian
Examiner" He was the first president of the
Boston and Worcester railroad, in the estab-
ishment of which he was master spirit, and
was a constant friend and advocate of all
works of public utility. His influence
was also felt in both branches of the
legislature, and in the two constitutional con-
ventions held during his mature life-one in
1920, and the other in lS53-of both of which
he was member. Mr.. Hale lived to see his
cherished plans successfully in operation, and
after life full Of labor, passed to world of
rest, without pain and without struggle.

In A FoG.-Caleb Gushing must have been
a little confused upon reading speech which
the New Yark Herald says he made at the
Cooper Institute, Saturday evening, in favor
of Mr.. Thayer's scheme of colonizing Florida.
Whatever else he may have done, Mr.. Cush-
ing has never been charged with excessive
zeal against the rebellion, and since his pro-
tracted meeting in Newburyport, in 1861, it
hasn't been very clear whether he cared to
have it subdued or not. "Phancy his pheel-
ings," therefore, when the Herald's world was
told the next morning that he had approvingly
quoted James q. Birney as authority that
''the home of slavery was hopelessly corrupt -
that the system of slavery was founded on land
monopolies; that 'Wcklifie of Kentucky, and
Gov Stanley of North Carolina, were just as
ready as JEFF. Davis to cut our throats;" that
sit it were necessary to bury three hundred
thousand shareholders to save twenty five
buried;" and other extraordinary speeches
calculated to irritate our southern brethren
and disturb the friendly relations which nov
exist between us and them. 1t aggravate.
the Heralds offence, that it profusely pep
pered its report of Mr.. Cushing's speech witt
applause" Ii happens that at this meeting
Cassius NJ. Clay made some remarks similar t,
those attributed to Mr.. Gushing; but then Calel
and Cassius are not so much alike that eithe
would easily pardon reporter who SHOULD
mistake him for the other. And it would no
be surprising if Mr.. Gushing, though he
shrinks from profanity as he would from-al
abolitionist, still ventured to express his feel
ings in as vigorous Saxon as his sense o
proprietY would allow
