Death of Professor Bache.

We regret to learn of the demise in Newport,
R. l., OF Alexander Dallas Bache, LII: d., great
grandson OF DR.. Benjamin Franklin, the renoWn-
ed philosopher, statesman, and revolutionary pa
triot. His grandfather, Richard Bache, born In
England, emigrated to the United States, and mar
ried the daughter Of DR.. franklin. He succeeded
the Doctor as Postmaster-General Of the United
States in 1776, and died in 1911, aged Is His son,
Benjamin Franklin Baohe, was the editor Of the
celebrated Aurora, an opposition papor, during
the administrations of Washington and Adams.
Alexander Dallas Bache, aud his brother, Franklin
Bache, hardly less eminent as man OF science,
have in striking manner illustrated the fine OF
this remarkable family.
The subject of the present memoir was born in
Philadelphia, July 10, 1906, and was therefore not
quite GO years OF age at the time Of his last illness.
Educated at the United States military academy at
West Point, he graduated with the highest honors,
and became lieutenant Of engineers OF fortfcation
in 1926 in which capacity he served two years,
resigning his commission in the year 1927, to ac-
cept the position Of Professor Of Mathematics in
the University Of Pennsylvania. Here he remain
delphia Board Of Controllers of the Public Schools
Principal OF the Central High School.
After service of not quite two years he resign
ed his post and returned to the more congenial
professorship of natural philosophy and chemistry
in the University, in 1s42, and remained there
post of President Of Girard College, in which Ca
pacity he had previously visited Europe to ex-
anime the systems Of instruction there, the re-
suits Of which have been published in large vol
ume. In 1888 he edited an edition of LreWsters
Optics, with notes. In 1S4T he published in three
Volumes, svo., Observations at the Magnetic and
meteorological Observatory Of '4rard College from
1910 to 1916, with one volume of plates. In 1858
he was appointed superintendent Of the United
States Coast Survey, which post he held until his
death.
Professor Bache was member of tho principal
scientific societies of the world, and received the
medal of the British Royal Geographical Society in
1858. He was one Of the founders and most zeal
ous members of the American Association for the
Advancement Of Science; also one Of the scientific
faculty OF the Smithsonian Institution at Wash
ington, and Of the Scientific Board under whose
auspices the famous Dudley Astronomical Obseg-
vatory at Albany, New York, was built and fitted
up. Aside from the works above mentioned, his
papers will be found scattered through the Journal
Of the Franklin Institute Proceedings Of the Ame-
rican Association for the Advancement of Science,
Journal of the American Philosophical Society,
American Journal Of Science, and Proceedings Of
the British Association for the Advancement Of
Science. He also wrote the annual report to the
United States Treasury Department on weights
and measures from 1874 to 1856 inclusive.

TIE JAPANESE In PAR1s.-A correspondent writes
ssThe Japanese embassy now staying at the Grand
Hotel, Paris, occupy suite of elegant rooms, fol
which they pay s50fr. Il day: The arms they wear
consist of long daggers and short sabres, richly
ornamented and are beautifully finished and for
dresses in European costume, with trousers and
black frock coat. His name is Ko-Tolo, and he
bears the title CT Yamatono-Kami. He is a Min.
lister of Foreign Affairs at Japan, grand officer o1
the Taicoon and governor Of province as large as
the whole of France. Before returning to Paris he
will pay visit to st. Petersburg, and afterwa1d ds
to America. The ambassadors take five meals q
day. and appear to have excellent appetltes. o.
wines they seem prefer Madeira and champagne,
but they have strong predilection for beer, and
are sufficiently good judges Of malt and hops to
give the preference to the English beverage"

BEARS MEAT AND HORSE FLESH IN PARIS The
Pail Mall Gazette says: ''Bear's flesh is at this
moment selling in the Paris meat markets ut the
rate of five francs the Hlogramme, or one shilling
and ten pence per pound. The consumption OF
horse flesh is increasing rapidly among the poorer
classes in the different quarters OF Paris. There
are now open no less than fifteen butchers shops
-four Of which are in different meat narkets-for
the exclusive sale Of the new viande,' and there
are four restaurants where horse flesh is the dis
tinguishing feature OF the carte. At particular
places in the provinces horse meat has become q
staple article of trade. At Caudebec, for instance
seven to eight hundred ldlogrammes are sold daily
in the market

It is not what We say or sing
That keeps our charm so log unoroRen,
Though every lightest leaf we bring
May touch the heart as friendships token;
Not what We sing or what we say
Can mike US dearer each TO otner-
We love the singer and his lay,
But love as we'll the silent brother.
Yet bring whate er your garden grows,
Thrice welcome to ourssmlles and praises
Thanks for the myrtle and the rose,
Thanks for The marigolds and daisies:
One flower ere long We all shall Claim,
Alas unlovfd Of Amarylis-
NATURES last blossom-need name
The wreath Of three-scores silver hliesl
How many, brothers, meet tonight
Around our boyhood's g covered embers?
60 read the treasured names Alright
The old rienniM list remembers
Though twenty wear the starry sign
That tells life has broke its tether,
The tifty-eight Of twenty
God bless the boys !-are all together!
These come with joyous look and word,
With friendly grasp and cheerful greeting
Those smile unseen, and move unheard,
The angel guests Of every meeting:
They cast no shadow in the fame
That Hrshes from the gilded lustre,
But count us-we are still the same
0ne earthly band, one heavenly cluster!
love dies not when he bows bis head
To pass beyond the narrow portals
The light these glowing moments shed
wakes from their sleep our lost lmmortals
They come as in their joyous prime,
- Before their morning days were numbered
Death stays the envious hand Of Time
The eyes have not grown dim that slumbered
The maths that loving souls have trod
Arch Ger the dust where worldlings grover,
HIGH as the zenith o'er the sod
The cross above the saxton's shovel
We rise beyond the realms Of day,
They seem to stoop from spheres OF glory
With ms one happy hour to stay
While youth comes back in song and story
Ahl ours is friendship true as steel
Tnat war has tried In edge and temper:
It writes upon its sacred seal
The priests ubtque-o0'nes sen!peT
II lends the sky fairer sun
That cheers our lives with rays as soeaoy
Al II our footsteps had begun
To print the golden streets already
The tangling years have clenched its Knot
Too fast for mortal strength to sunder--
The Hchtning bolts Of noon are shot
No fear of evenings idle thunder!
Too ,atel too latel--no graceless hand
Shall stretch it's cords in yaan ennea'or
To rave the close encircling band
That made and keeps us one forever.

STRETCHING WITH FREE HAND.-Tho following ls
an extract from, racy description OF Senator
W,nr written by Mack" Of the Cincinnati Com
mcJcial:
Wade is a man not given, 1 should imagine, to
make up for his deficiency in this respect; they
come to his relief always, and often servo better
purpose than tho book1shness Of other men: Shef-
man is man OF close application, q student Dy
habit and inclination; and although hc may nave
all of Wade's faculty for extemporaneous deoate
or action, he lacks self-confdence to exercise IT,
Neither Of the Ohio Senators can be called hnsnea
orators. or orators OF any kind in the strlct mean
ing of the word But Sherman is good rnetorlciah .
and fair reasoner. Wade speaks sometimes MiIn
force and effect than bis eoeaGe m o the loT VIM
with which he says it. A strictly Ben. Maao ae
speech would be weary, STALE flat ana unprG}He-
able effort from the tongue OF almost anypous sl1J
II is like the bow of Ulysses, which could oo ~lou
ed effectively only by the strong arm or lts owner
md was but cumbrous and ponderous ioau ull-
der any other It is for this reason that TO DO m
fnenced by what he says you must hear MIN, anu
sec him, too You must see the old 1eloW eet up
in tit Of passion, kick his chair away TO MAKE ah
play-room for himself, put one hand Indef the
breast of his waiscoat; and you must hear HIM
change his voice from talk to q scold and from
scod to roar. This is not oratory, nor rhetoric
nor defamation but is something that carries lts
noint in the Senate better than either. In the ol1
pro-slarcry days when Wade and John F. Hale and A.
Hummer we're about the only abolitionists in the
Senate. the southerners feared the unpublished de-
nunciation Of Wade moro than the scholarly IN
vective of Summer. have been told Dy Mr. Suh-
ner that on one occasion while Wade was speaking,
Mason Ma et' Of Virginia, touched him sumner on the
shoulder, and in tone of positive fright said :
ssMy God. see that man prance el'' On another oc.
casion, some one, Wigfall, believe, told one me o. OF
his Southern colleagues that he meant to reply to
one o. Bens speeches. 'sOh, for Heavens sake,
don't-don't rouse the old fellow. We've got him
oniet now, and better let him alone"

The CARD MAN1A:-At no time it would seem
since the organization of refined society has the
mania for the outre and bizarre manifested itself
more than at present in visiting, party and we'd
ding cards. Persons who claim to be leaders Of
fashion in cards constantly trying their inge-
nuity and their bad taste, we might add, in lovis
ing something new, when tho old styles were real
ly much better. The result is that gentlemen and
ladies arc surprised on opening what they imagine
from it's bulk and appearance to be package By
express to find an invitation to dinner, or lccep-
tion, or German This is the day of the reign Of
the fantastic and the palpably elaborate, which
blossoms into fullness in cards of all kinds. Sim
plcity is the best thing and The most elegant, let
It be remembered; and we have more need to re-
turn to old times than to advance to new-at least
in the present directon-for the qualification Of
good taste and the unobjcctionable in form.
