educational work at the South which was
commenced while he was at the head of the

in Texas For the purpose of continuing
the work, General Howard purposes TO
raise funds in the North.
The REASON WHY-A reason given.
among Others for Grants appointment of
negro Belcher and other darkies to respon-

Death of Ex-President Pierce,

Geographic dispatches announce
the decease of ex-President PIERCE at
home in Concord, New Hampshire on
Friday, Oct. s, 1869, in the sixty
fifth year CT his age. He was born
Nov. %, 1904 at Hillsborough, N. Fl.
His father having emigrated from
Massachusetts,. He descended from a
patriotic father who had won many
lanrels as an officer in the war of In
dependence, and had also been Gov
ernor of New Hampshire. FRANK
LIN PIERCE graduated at Bowdoin
College in Maine in 1924. He was
admitted to the bar in 1927, but seems
to have been unfor, innate in the man
agement of his first cases. He after
wards became quite successfulas an
Attorney, but evinced moro aptness
for a political life. His military tastes
were developed at an early age
While at College he commanded a
company that for military discipline
and order attracted much attention.
His first preferences in politics were
for the Democratic party, of which,
he soon became a leading member. -
In 1929 he was elected to the Legisla-
ture of New Hampshire and served
four years. During his service he &C
ted as speaker two terms, and acquit-
ted himself with ability. In 1888 he
was elected to Congress and was placed
on the Judiciary Committee. Being
a rigid Democrat and a strict con.
structionist of the Constitution, he op-
posed the wild schemes then being
agitated for internal improvements,
the National Bank, hign protective
G tariffs, and particularly the agitation
of the slavery question, which has
since broken up the union and led to
the conquest and subjugation of ten
r Sites and a reign ofmilitary Satraps,
which Mr.. PIERCE anticipated as one
of the designs of the Abolitionists.-
In 1887 he was elected to the Senate
of the United States by the Legisla-
ture of New Hampshire, and served
till 1912 when he resigned, and again
entered into the practice of law. He

it is not surprising that his Admins

it was, with singular ability. Impor-

settled with a wiser craftsmanship

Mr.. Pierce was n man of strict in

wrote his biography in 1S52-a work
