The Late Preston Aing.

There is something touchingly sad in
the life and death of this distinguished
man. For thirty years he has been in pub
lie life. Not spot or blemish was ever
found upon his personal character. To
those who knew him only as public man,
or by casual acquaintance, he was regard
ed aa genial, good. natured gentleman,
possessed of fair abilities. who took the
world easily. and enjoyed its good things
with great relish. Blu, it was far from be-
ing true. Preston King, amid his sue.
cesses and amid the high places he attained,
carried with HIN coDstanslya sad heart,
keenly sensitive to suffering. struggling in
its pride against fate over which he had
no control, but which has in the end caused
him to die the q death of a telo de Sc.
Preston King was born out of wcdlock.
BE never knew who were his parents This
circumstance; at every period of his life,
haunted him. His deeply sensitive nature
revolted at the thought, and yet it was ever
present with him. At times, before the
final tragedy, it SO overcame him as TO un-
settle his reason to some extent AS early
as 1887, when he was scarcely thirty years
of age, he was taken to lunatic asylum,
and remained for several months Again
in 1860, his intellect became aberrated
but it was not made public. Upon the ex-
pira,ion of his senatorial career in 1863,
be announced his purpose to retire forever
to private life, and refused to permit his
friends to use his name for re election.
He retired to his homie in St. Lawrence
county, but after few months of quiet he
became restless and made frequent trips to
Albany, New York and Washington.
Upon the death Of Dir. Lincoln, it is
we'll known tha, he become the confden.
tial friend and adviser of President John
son. He remained for the most part in
Washington until his appointment as Col.
lector of the Port of New York-a position
which he did not desire, but which he ac-
copied at the urgent solicitation of friends.
The annoycnces of the place were too
much for his already overtasked nervous
system, and it gave way. The conscious
ness Of the fact Of which we have spoken,
the thought that it was constantly in the
minds of his friends, the deep notifications
that resulted as a consequence, finally snap.
ped the cord Of reason and memory, and
Preston King was lunatic. He was a
nobleman in every sense of the word, and
the recolections of the purity of his char.
acter, his generosity of heart, his spirit of
broad charity, as we'll as his record as a
statesman and patriot, will be cherished
by hundreds who never knew the private
grief that finally drove him TO his last mad
deed - ConSerrGeUe

SUICIDE OF H. CLAY WRiGHT.-We
learn from the Leavenworth Conservative
that H. Clay Wright, Esq, committed
suicide by shooting himself with pistol,

ries inflicted, and his friends hoped that
be had also recovered from his fits of tenn
porary insanity, but they were disappoin :
ed, and we are called upon in conjunction

rash act which terminated the life Of a
useful and talented man.

Ladies Should Read Newspapers.
1t is a great mistake, in female edu-
cation, to keep young lady's time and
attention deyoted to only the fashiona-
BILE literature of the day. If you would
qualify her for conversation, you must
give her something to talk about-give
her education with this actual world
and its transpiring events. Urge her
to read the newspapers, and become fa-
miliar with the present character and
improvement of our race. History is oi
some Importance; but the past world is
dead, and we have nothing to do with
it. Our thoughts and our concerns
should be for the present world; to know
what it is, and improve the condition ol
it. Let her have an intelligent opin.
ion, and be able to sustain an intelli
gent conversation concerning the men
tai, moral, political and religious im
provement Of our times. Let the gildeC
annuals and poems on the nter-tabl,
be kept part Of the time covered will
