ARTEMus WARD.-Priyate advices from Lon
don give us some interesting details in regard to
the death and last intentions of Mr.. Charles F.
Brown, (Artemus Ward.) We find that he was,
during ten days, in state of uninterrupted de-
lrium, ard that he was wholly unconscious of
the presence OF either friends or advisers. Dur
ing his last hours, Captain Britton and NJ. L. Z.
Kingston watched over him all night alternate
", and no effort spared to alleviate his suf-
iering far possible. His physician, DR..
Croft. states that the tubercular disease began a
long while ago in the mescnteric glands, and
that thence it proceeded to the lungs, where the
destruction of tissue went on rapidly. Finally,
typhoid symptoms set in; the lung decay ceased,
and tube-cles became developed in the brain.
His death was registered as being caused by
phthsis Artemus Wards will was prepared
and signed on the 24th of February. 1t reads
As follows To the children of Mr. Kingston,
This agcnt) two in number, be leaves each $500.
To his mother he leaves life interest in the
whole of his real estate, the value of which is,
nt least, s26, ,000 and at her death It passes into
the hands of Horace Greeley, as trustee, fer the
purpose of founding asylum for decayed
printers. His library Is to be competed FOR by
the boys at present receiving their education at
the school where Nr. Brown WAS educated. The
rest of his personality is devoted to the object Of
providing for the education of George Stevens,
an intelligent youth Of fourteen who has been
Ms constant allGNNiIt ana companion IOF lue
last two years. TIE will provides for his ap-
premiership two years in printing office, and
then his removal TO college, for the perfecting of
his education. Nr. Brown stated that his object
in wishing George to 20 first into printing Of
flee, WAS that he might ascertain how little he
knew, and how important it was to learn
Political ERRoRs TO BE AvoIDEo.-One of the
greatest dangers to be avoided in the selection
OF delegates for the forthcoming County Conven-
ton, is the choice of those who pledged to
particular candidates, and to secure their nom
ination are willing 10 enter into all kinds of
trading and combinations. The Offices which
pay the best the most sought after. The
who desire to obtain them have perhaps
given large promises of patronage certain
jealous laborers in their behalf ami these,
stimulated by the hope of reward bring every
influence possible to bear upon the delegates to
induce them to nominate their favorite. 1t is
entirely necessary that every selected for
public poSition-from Governor down-Should
he upright aud well qualified to discharge its
duties The times requires this much and the
Union party demands it, The man who is known
TO be pledged to any candidate, is not fit per-
son TO sit in a nominating Convention and if
the people are true to theslselyes, and can as
certain that such one has been presented for
their suffrages at the primaries, they will vindi-
cate their self-respect and benefit the cause of
their party and of their country by rejecting him.
Let have clean hanGs, upright consciences
and fair dealings in the selection of men who
are to name our public officers and let none be
named who are not equally worthy of conf
dence and the result viii be general satisfac-
ton and triumphant victory at the September
election, in spite of the waiings of sore-heads in
our own ranks and the utmost efforts of the ma
iignant Copperheads to prevent it.-Sgn Fran
