THE LAST HOURS OF THADDEUS
STEYENS.
F,,eo,al Despntoh 10 The Rventno Telegraph.

E1eotdL Despatch 10 The EUentn0 Telegraph.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.-The Hon. Thaddeus
Stevens died at precisely IL O'Clock last night, at
his residence in this city, on Capitol Hill. Simon
Stevens; Thaddeus Stevens, Jr., a nephew; and
his housekeeper, Mrs. Smith, were at his bed
sides also Sister Loretta and Sister Genevieve,
she Providence Hospital; MI. j. Scott Patterson
of the Interior Department; and the servants of
his household. He passed away calmly and
quietly, and without struggle.
The death of Mr.. Stevens has been looked for
at any hour since Sunday. Yesterday he re-
marked to those around him tina. he was rapidly
sinking, and had no hope of ever resuming his
accustomed seat in the Capitol. The calmness
and even cheerfulness evinced by him so long
as speech was left him, up to four o'clock yes
terday afternoon, was remarked by all. On
Monday he expressed considerable anxiety in
regard to the state of the country, induced
mainly perhaps by the current reports
of apprehended troubles in Louisiana.
He expresses a strong desire that Mr..
johnson might abstain from any measures Of q
character calculated to disturb the public tran.
guilty, and hoped that no necessity might arise
for the reassemblng of Congress in September.
Yesterday afternoon he conversed with great
Cheerfulness and animation, talking on a va
rety of topics, and evincing lively interest
in that which interested those around him. In
conversation with Mr. Simon Stevens about the
same time, he referred to Mr.. Evarts,
the new Attorney in terms OF
marked kindness and confidence. He con-
Sinued to grow feebler during the
afternoon, and at about o'clock P. n. he
lost the power of speech, and from that time lay
quietly, without giving any indications OF suf-
fering. About ten minutes before his death,
sister Loretta requested the permission of his
friends to perform the baptisma rite, and no
objection being offered, the ceremony was per-
formed amid impressive silence. To her who
performed this, the act undoubtedly appeared
one of great Importance, and the earnest and
affectionate devotion with which it was done
strongly affected those who witnessed 1t,
even those holding a different faith from
hers. 1t is worthy OF note that
the sisters whose benevolent works had been
30 heartily seconded by the great departed in
furnishing aid, and lending his legislative efforts
in behalf of the institution to which they are
attached, Providence Hospital, visited him
daily during his illness, aud manifested devo
ton which showed how fully they appreciated
the charitable aud benefcent spirit which has
marked the life that was drawing SO rapidly to
q close.
This morning, DIR. Shafeu fest, Of the Army
Medical Museum, enI Ioalmed Mr.. Stevens body.
No definite arrangements nave been made as
yet for his funeral and the removal of his re-
mains to his home in Pennsylvania. A large
number of personal friends called at his late
residence this morning; among others being
Senator Sumner.

THE LIE AND PUBLIC SERVICES OF
THADDEUS STEVENS.

Just as the clock struck twelve last night
Thaddeus Stevens expired. In poor health for
months past, his death would at no time during
year have greatly surprised his friends. Aud
yet such was the iron will of the man, so brayely
and stoutly did he combat the encroachments of
physical decay, that he appeared elevated above
the ills that flesh is heir to, aud the announce
ment of his deceasc has created as profound a
sensation as If the hand OF death had fallen upon
man in the full vigor OF middle life. Imme'
diately after the adjournment of Congress for
the recess Mr.. Stevens began his preparations
for visit 10 his iron furnaces in the western
part of Pennsylvania, after which 1t was his
intention TO have made his customary summer
sojourn at Bedford Springs, and then to have
resoIted to his home at Lancaster for few
weeks Of retirement and repose. Before he could
put this plan in execution he was suddenly pros
trated, aud for few days his lite was again
despaired of. Rallying again, he again began
his preparations for departing from the capital
but only to be arrested by the sudden summons
which Is no respecter of persons, which pays
no regard 10 the wishes of those whose will
is a law unto their felow-men. The last hour
of the illustrous statesman is described as one
of perfect tranquility. Surrounded by his ply
sicians and the members OF his household, he
passed peacefully away at the midnight hour.
and to-day there is blank in the page Of
history.
Thaddsus Stevens EARLY Life.
Thaddeus Stevens, the son of Joshua Stevens
and Sarah Morrill,, was a native of Vermont,
having been born in the town of DanVille, Gale.
donna county, in that State on the 4th of April,
1892, and had therefore attained the age OF
seventysix years and four months at the time of
his death. Alter due preparation he entered
the University of Vermont, at Burlington, re-
maing a student at that institution until 1917,
when its doors were closed in consequence of
the occupation of the town by the British
troops. The scene of his studies was then
transferred 10 Dartmouth College, where he
graduated in 1914. HIS parents being in mode
rate circumstances, he was Obliged frequently
TO Intermit his college studies to obtain the

Puritan Uoae-Man and Woman Tarred
and Feathered in Massachusetts,.

Bosroy, August 6.-At Chesterfield,
Mass, a man named Hiram Pittsenger,
who is said to have kept woman as a
kitchen servant and between them to
have abused bis wife, SO that she was
compelled to leave him last month, was
visited night or two since by about
thirty men in Disguise, and some women
also, and ordered to surrender. He re-
sisted, and knocked one of bis assailants
down, but was soon cverpowered. Pitt
senger and his~housemaid were then
marched to the house of his brother, near
which the unfortunate pair were stripped
of their clothing, tarred and feathered,
and ridden on rail half mile, Pledges
were exacted from Pittsenger not to
divulge the names of those engaged in
the riotous proceedings, and remove his
servant from town within forty-eight
hours, and to make confession to bis
wife. If not done, worse visitation was
threatened to follow.

An Arab eobblos Up window Glass and
. i1Fi. Hot Iron.

An Algiers correspondent writes the
following account Of a wonderful exhi-
bition: Our party to witness the exhibit
ton consisted Of some twenty English
men, and among them a few ladies'.
After long walk through the old town
Of Algiers, we were shown into a Moor.
ish house, in the quadrangle of which
open to the sky, were a number of
Arabs seated on the floor in the center,
singing, as is their nature, most monoto-
nous chant, to the accompaniment of a
big drum. In balcony above, and
looking down into ths court, were the
Moorish women, most of them entirely
vailed, with the exception of their, lus-
treus black eyes, which flashed into un-
usual brilliancy in the light of the nu-
merous hambeaux with which the court
was illuminated. The effect was re :
markable, and not easily to be forgotten.
The faces of the Arabs, some Of them
magnificent looking men, and excited by
the music, the lights, the delcately carved
marble pilssters supporting the gallery,
and over all the star-studded, blue sky,
forming an impressive contrast to the
noise and tumut beneath, made an ex.
traordinary picture which no canvas
could accurately convey to the mind.
Presently, with howl like wild beast,
man rushed forward, and standing over
a pot Of incense, commenced to sway his
body in univon with the music. Gradually,
to all appearance, becoming more and
more excited, he at last rushed at one Of
his companions, and seizing about hall
window-pane of glass from him, pro
ceeded to eat it with great relish, crunch
ing it between his teeth, and evidently
swallowing the whole. Then another
rushed forward, gesticulating furiously,
and insisted on swallowing dozen good
sized pebbles.
But perhaps the most extraordinary
performance was that of man who held
for nearly minute, between his teeth, a
bar of red hot iron-so hot that one felt
its heat at considerable distance. He
afterwards cooled his mouth by eating
some prickly cactus, which, as it grows
out into pins and needles of approved
pattern, must be delicious food. An
other Arab after allowing scorpion to
hang by its tail to his hand and face, ate
it distinctly and positively, and appeared
in no way the worse The sting may
probably have been extracted. l exam.
ined for myself the stones, glass and
scorpions, and there is no doubt in my
mind that they were all actually swal-
lowed, as was within foot or two of
the performers. adi tr -
