The Scranton (Pa.) Republican, tells

the late Pittston disaster: 1Fe
William James expired about three
O. clock on the afternoon of the Tuesday
following the catastrophe. and was the
first added to the list of those upon whom
the death angel laid his hand 10 that aw-
full havoc. He was a Welshman. and had
had been in this country about seven
mouths. On the morning of the dreadful
day il, question. he had taken his break
fast and his wife had made ready his din
ner and set the pail beside him. For
some time be sat wrapped in thought, his
arms folded, his eyes fixed vacsntly upon
the stove, and deep melancholy appar-
emily brooding over him. He was arous-
ed from bis reyerie by his wife telling him
that his dinner was ready, and that he
would be late as the bell had ruug. He
started to his feet, and gazing upon her
for moment with look of tenderness
and significance, said to her, IF should
not come back alive, would you be in
such hurry getting me out ?"eSThe wife
answered, NO" but remarked that ''if
he was going at all. it was time be was
gone" He lifted his pail without saying
a word. and after kissing his wife, kissed
his four little children, who were sitting
playing on the doorstep. When he had
gone about City yards from bis home, he
returned again and kissed his wife and
children once more with great fervency.
His wife noticed that he was the victim OF
gloomy forcbodings, and as he turned a.
way she was about to entreat him not TO
90 to work if he apprehended any danger
But hope and courage and the pressing
necessities of their family overcome her
intention, and she let him go. She stood
at the door and watched him on his way to
the fatal pit. When at a point where he
turned out of her sight, he paused and
cast nistfal look toward his home and
little ones, and seeing his wife. waved
with his hand last adieu. lie parted
with bis loved ones forever.

Saturday at Chicago During the occu-
paney of tire Presidential Chair by his
father, a braliam Lincoln, "Tad" kept the

both his father aud mother, petted and
INDUCED by his teachers, aud fawned uR-l
on AID caressed by that uoiseme horde Of

much to do that he felt he could not waste
time in learning to spell Early in the
morning yeu could hear his sllrill pipe re-
sounding through the dreary corridors of
the executive residence. The day passed
in rapid succession of plots and calumo-
-t;ons, and when the President laid down
his weary pen toward midnight, be gen
orally found his infant goblin asleep I'M
der his table or roasting his curly head
by the open Fireplace; and the tall chief
would pick up the child and tru,ige off TO
bed with the drowsy little burden on his
shoulder, STOPPING under the doors and
lodging the chandeliers. e1he President
took infinite comfort in the ehild's rude
health, fresh fun, and uncomfortable bois-
terousness. He was pleased to see him
growing in ignorance Of books, but with
singularly accurate ideas OF practical nut
ters. He treated fafterers and Cashce-
seekers with a curious GOODNESS and con-
tempt, but he often espoused the cause of
