Mrs. Seward WAS the daughter OF the late

movtd; hut nearly twenty years ago her
health failed, and since that psriod She has
withdrawn tlom society, d:voting herself to
her family and The few friends she bad carly
learned to yalue.
Tie attempted assassination Of the Sccre-
tary and Assistant Secretary Of State, IL is
hardly necessary to say, has, whatever their
fate may be, caustd this death. Those only
who know, Is We know, not only how dsvot-
idly she 1ovcd 1hem, nut how worthy they

which both lives were suspended By q thread,
