Mining matters are rather at low ebb

announced by cable, at the advanced age OF
seventy y-one years:
He was a native of Dublin, where he
was born in 1897, and was of respectable

The deceased was originally intended
for a commercial life, but his inclinations
being averse to commerce, he soon quit
the business, and first appeared in public
at a dinner given in 1878 to Thomas

RECENTLY an old gentleman of eccentric
habits, Mr.. John Younghusband, died at
Abbey Holme, Cumberland, England. The
Silloth railway runs through part of his
property, an arrangement to which he was
passionately averse; and though years have
elapsed his bitterness was in no wise as
suaged. In his will he leaves $1,000 to a
solicitor who opposed the making of the
railway /; the rest of his money he bequeaths
to comparative stranger upon the follow
ing condition: That the legatee never
speaks to one of the directors of the rail-
way that he never travels upon it; that he
never sends cattle or other freight by it,
and should he violate any of these condi-
tions, the estate reverts to the ordinary sue
cession. To Mr.. John Irving and the other
directors of the Silloth line, Mr.. Young
husband sarcastically bequeathed far
thing.

PENDLETON thus prefer that of Mr.. SEYMOUR.
He preferred it before his own even. While
he sought the honor and would have been
especially gratified in receiving it, yet
knowing the trials and perplexities that
will beset the Administration the next four
years, and with his characteristic modesty
distrusting his own great powers, he turned
his eyes to the greatest Statesman of to-
day, and expressed the earnest wish that
upon him the nomination might be con-
ferred. And it was so conferred-conferred
unanimously-upon the motion and request
of the Ohio delegation, prefaced with the
distinct allegation, that this motion was
with the concurrence of Mr.. PENDLEToN.

monious concord all sections of the Union
Mr.. SEYMOUR was not the candidate oi
New York or of Wall street. They felt
constrained to throw their vote for him,
when they found their vote to defeat him
unavailing. From the eighth until the
twenty ballot, they voted for HEN

A GOOD story is told of an American
merchant who, few Sundays since, went
into fashionable London church, few
minutes after the service had commenced
and stood in the aisle. The pew opener
passed him several times and took no no.
tice of him. They show more respect in
American churches, so he determined to
give them lesson. Seeing that there was
plenty of room in several pews, but that
the pew opener passed him again and
again without offering him a seat, he quiet
ly spread open his coat tails, and squatted
down on tho neatly matted aisle. The
clergyman noticed him, and looked at the
pew opener, who at once went to him and
offered him seat. "No, thank you," he
whispered, II am quite comfortable, and
shall sit here all the service.
