correSpondingly annoying to the Repub-
icans. For the first time in seventeen
years, the Democrats have the majority
in the Government Of the State of New
York. New Jersey has again recorded
her faith in Democratic principles. Mary
land is overwh, lmingly Democratic, and
50 is Alabama. Illinois has turned its
back on the Republicans; Minnesota is
indifferent. the majority for the Republic

from last election dreadfully. Wiscon-

fund nor upon the stockholders residing
in the county for their subscriptions un-
til after the road had been graded. This
relieves our county and people of all risk
in the matter, for when the road shall
have been graded, tie completion of the
work is inevitable. 1t now behooves US
all, to drop suspicion and distrust, to go
to work for the road-to assist by every
agency to increase the subscri ptions in the
county to its stock-and to facilitate the
acquisition of the right of way for the
road through our county wherever it has
not vet been obtained. This is the work
that now remains for US to do. and We
should all in the county unite to do it.
and do it with will. We have ourselves
not single remaining doubt now that the
road will be built and within . reasonable
time.

OpIrUARY.-George Peabody died at
London, on Thursday-evcning, October
4. He was born in 1895 in Danvers,
Mass. His parents were SO poor that
they could not afford him liberal educa-
ton. In his twelfth year he became a
grocer's drudge in Danvers. After clerk
ing in several stores with poor luck he
went to Georgetown D. c., to manage
his bankrupt uncle's business. In 1872,
he served as volunteer in an artillery COM
pany, though exempt on account of his
youth. He afterward went into business
as draper with partner, who retired
eight years after, leaving Peabody head
of the frm. He went frequently to Eng
land to buy goods, and in 1887 became a
resident of London. He soon became a
great capitalist. AS banker he did his
utmost to sustain American credit in
London. He managed several State
loans with great ability, and by his integ
rity made the name of American respeo-
ted in fnancial-crcles in England. Of
his career as philanthrop;st, it is need
less to speak. Two continents rejoice to
bear witness to the large-minded benevo-
lence Of his acts. The other day (Sep-
tcmber 500, after visit to his native
land, glorifed by benelactions, be return
ed to London. During his absence from
England, the merchants Of London had
erected statue in honor of the American
philanthropist His health. long failing,
gave way, and he expired in his Sc venty-
fifth year. He was never married. He
was the greatest of Americas, if not Of
the worlds. philsnthropists of his day
His rivals in bencfac!ion were mere ad-
vertisers.
