NEW YORK. January 4.

NEW YORK, January 4
4 few minutes before IL o'clock this
morning James Fisk, Jr, expired. All
that unremitting medical skill and atten-
ton could do had been done, but of no
avail. Jay Gould was in attendance from
an early hour this morning. His face
wore, while there yet was hope that his
friend might recover, its usual calm
expression. No sooner had Fisk expired,
however, than Gould's fortitude gave way,
and his grief found vent in tears.
The scene i'm and around the room
where the body lay was touching in the
extreme. 1t became necessary to admit
up stairs only those who came at first on
business. Notwithstanding this, very
large number of friends of Fisk and guests
of the hotel viewed the body. Many ladies
were among them. Later in the afternoon,
prior to the removal of the body TO Fisk's
late residence, the general public were
admitted to view the body. AT q
o'clock this morning the first omin-
Gus change appeared in the patient, al,
though not perhaps the first indication OF
his final end. He grew a little restless;
his face had greater pallor, his breath
ing was less easy and regular. On feel
ing his pulse DIR. Fisher found it was
more rapid,-very nearly 100. At half,
past 6 o'clock Colonel Fisk said something
| in a broken tone, and then closed his
ewes. The change in his face had become
more apparent. The pallor was more
deathlike, and moisture appeared on his
forehead. The pulse was over 100, and
the doctors stood by the bedside watch
ing the patient attentively. At O'CLOCK
it was first announced that he
was fast sinking, and that the danger OF
a sudden ending of his intense agony was
very great. His pulse was at this time 13O.
Dr. Fisher went down stairs in hurried
manner, and asked something of the
night clerk, and then went back again.
He looked very anxious. AT quarter
past seven Mrs. Fisk arrived. She was
admitted first into the ante-room, and
afterward into the bed room. Mrs. Fisk
was terribly agitated at the bedside of heI
husband. This scene was the most heart
rending Of any that had yet taken place
and those present could not suppress theil
emotion. The doctors were appealed tC
by the wife to give some little hope, bu
they gently indicated that they dare no

of another writer in attempting the explana-
ton of the meaning of the initials 81 H. s., y

THE DETERMINATIONS interest
continues to he manifested among the Repub-
hcans of the State in reference to the organiza-
ton of the Senate. The friends of Mr.. Trick
are said to be confident of his election, while
the supporters of Mr.. Taylor have equal con-
iidence in his success. A caucus of South
Jersey Senators favorable to Mr.. Trick, at
which six were present, was held few days
since. For Secretary of the Senate, Mr.. Bab-
cock has no opposition, while for Assistant
Secretary, Mr.. Newlin is reported to have
eight votes pedged-sufficient to give him the
place. As to Speaker of the House the con-
test lies between Messss. Macknet and Learn
ing. For Assistant Secretary of the House,
Mr. NJ. II. Houghton, of Bergen, will be
strongly pressed.

CIS There can be no doubt that one of the
principal reasons why there are so many per-
sons absenting themselves from church is the
inability of such to appear in the style of their
noighbors Church members, especially,
should so conduct themselves that the poorest
might feel the same freedom to attend relig-
ious service as the richest When this is not
So the sspoor have " not the gospel preached
unto them." 1t is to be regretted that the
style of dress not only of the members of con-
gregations, but of many of the members of
churches, is such as to pander to pride and
humiliate the poor, and deter them from at
tendance at places of worship. A travelling
dress and millinery store is vulgar enough at
any Time but to choose the church for the
display of ribbons and hounces, and laces and
silks, and satins and jewelry, and hemp and
jute, and dead peoples hair, is not only vulgar
but sinful. We are therefore glad to see by
our exchanges that i'll some churches an ex-
ample has been set to remedy this evil. the
ladies agreeing to appear in plain and mex
pensive dress We fear, though, that it will
not become as fashionable as some other things
which are not half as commendable

LAMBERTyILLE, N. J.;

"CLosED FOR REPAIRS. The ''young and
Inexperienced F" gentleman who "grasps the
lever that moves the world and who also
"pushes,o has announced his intention of not
crushing to the front" any more He has
discovered chat his d" time and labor can be
more satisfactorily disposed of and a great
deal more to [his] benefit" We agree with
him. If he had only thought so before he
made his first ungentlemanly and uncalled-for
attack upon us, it would have been more
creditable to him. He also informs us that
TO make a success of any undertaking it is
necessary to travel through life and give little
heed to the bark of pups along the way"
Exactly. Perhaps we ought mol to have no
ticed him, but it is sometimes provoking even
to be barked at. We are somewhat surprised,
though, that this suggestion should have come
from hSm. We are not exactly sure, however,
that "to make success of any undertaking
it is necessary to travel through life.'' But,
the young man that s'grasps the levero ought
to know. g The Beacon will not stoop to
low, mean way of doing business" we are
told. OF course not. Its cowardly insinua-
lions of what it dare not openly assert are
evidences Of this ''Neither will it take
stand opposed to any man of inferior calibre,"
it announces. That is considerable, undoubt-
edly, but even if adhered to, it will not narrow
its field of discussion in the least, nor make
one opponent less sour course shall be in
accordance with our own Judgment" the
young man proclaims, which is bad for the
s'course." And furthermore, he wants it
understood that tshould a remark gain circu-
lation that may be construed as pointed, let
the person who is pierced rest content that it
struck in the right place and just as aimed y
We do not remember any remark of the in
experienced young man" that could by any
possibility be construed as having any "point -
to it, any more than cheese-box could be so
construed but should such remark be
evolved, and in its decentralization -
result in such sad catastrophe as to pierce
any one, let the agony of the occasion
be assuaged by the thought that no ordinary
mortal aimed the shot, but that being capable
of "grasping the lever that moves the world y
did it. Yet after all, we do not know of n
ihore terrible inflicton than being pierced by
one of those ideas enlanating from The Beacon

HYDRoPHoBIA.-If you are bitten by mad
dog, instantly press the bitten part with your
hand as hard as possible. This will arrest
circulation and absorption. Cry out for a
red-hot iron. Push it into the puncture made
by the tooth. This, if thoroughly done, will
be sure to destroy the virus. If hydrophobia
be developed, a hot vapor bath is undoubtedly
the best remedy. The patient must be kept
in it until he is relieved of all the nervous
symptoms

The great actor, Edwin Forrest, died in
Philadelphia, very suddenly, ON Thursday
morning last. He had dressed for breakfast
and then fallen on his bed, having apparently
had an attack of apoplexy. The fame of Mr..
Forrest as player, in the higher ranks of
that profession, was very great. The pursuit
of his gift was productive of fortune as well
as celebrity, and his house on North Broad
street is one of the best in the city. Although
he was not an old man, the powers of Mr..
Forrest had failed so much of late years that
his acting was hardly successful His love
for the stage was so great that he could not
abandon it. He appeared for the last time in
Boston, but two or three weeks ago

The capital stock of she New York Tribune
establishment lis divided into one hundred
shares, of the nominal value Of $1,000 each,
but these shares by the annual re-investment
of the earnings, and the advance in value of
the concern, have risen to about $4,000 each
in value. The Tribune printing Office, with
all its fixtures and goodwill, therefore, is
worth about a round million of dollars. Five
of these shares only were owned by Horace
Greeley.

Gov. Geary of Pennsylvania has issued a
proclamation announcing a reduction of the
State debt during the past year amounting to
SO, 49, 213. This reduction of the debt was
made by a Republican administration, with
Gov Geary at it's head, and during a year
when the whole Democratic and Liberal Re
publican press were charging the Republican
party with extravaganza and corruption. Of
course, these journals will carefully abstain
from any mention of the fact of the reduction.
