which he did in two years, graduating
from Dartmouth in 1886, After q
struggle for livelihood while farther
prosecuting his studies, he was ad-

Columbia at the age of twenty-one.
He went Immediately to Cincinnati
and began in earnest the battle of a
life, which native talent supplemented
by sound principles and earnest effort
made grand victory.
After his success as a lawyer became
assured, he soon attained national
celebrity by undertaking certain cases
which manifested his sympathy with
the fugitive slave and the then nm.
popular anti-slavery cause. In ls4e

In a careful and painstaking review
of the financial situation and outlook,
the Financial Chronicle thinks we
shall have monetary tranquility TO.
the next two or three months. The
best authorities anticipate trouble in
the fall. Consequently there will be
more disposition to provide time
loans beforehand. This disposition
to seek time loans in the summer,
reaching through the fall and winter,
if it extends, as it bids fair to, will
have the two-fold effect of diminish
ing the pressure in the fall and win
ter and of increasing the activity
during the dull months between
seasons. If, for this and other rea-
sons, money should not lend at rs
low rates as usual this summer, there
will probably be compensation in
the prevalence of easier rates in the
fall.

A photographer in San Francisco
has succeeded in taking a first-rate
photograph of the celebrated trotting
horse Occident, while the animal was
going at speed Of mile in 2.2l. The
plate upon which the picture was ia
ken was exposed only one fve-hun-
dredth part of second hence the
picture shows the horse as distinctly
as if he was standing still, and each
separate spoke of the sulky wheels is
clearly Shown. The process may be
applied in taking the picture Of any
animal, bird, or insect, and thus aid
science In demonstrating the true mo-
ton of the wings of birds and insects.
1 points about which there have long
been disputes. The manner in which
this picture was taken is not entirely
novel in detail. The horse was re-
quired to trot between q screen of
white canvas and the camera. A
long board with hole in it as large as
the opening in The camera tube was ar
ranged to drop in slide in front of the
tube. AS the horse was darting past
the board dropped, and the plate was
exposed precisely the length of time
that the hole in the board occupied in
falling past the camera tube.

elected In 1857. At the National Re,

his cabinet, March 4, 1861, Mr.. Lin

June 80, 1864, he resigned ms once
and made an effort to procure the
nomination for the Presidency. After
Mr.. LincoIn's reelection Mr.. Chase
was appointed Chief Justice of the
Surname Court of the United States,
to succeed Roger B. Taney, who died
in October, 1854. He presided over
the Court of Impeachment March,
1861, for the trial of President John
ION, when it was understood that he
was in favor of acquittal, and by his
course on that occasion gave offense
to the majority of the people. In 1865
he was an unsuccessful candidate for
the Democratic nomination for Presi-
dent.
Mr.. Chase was stricken with par

Speaking of the prevailing corrup-
ton of the times, the Chicago Journal
says 1t is greatly attributable to the
fact that the possession of wealth il
made the standard of responsibility.
The journal continues:
Our citizens are not audricious in
the strict sense of the word. They
are simply ambitious. They covet
wealth, not for the mere sake of hav-
ing it, but because Of the luxury, state,
and social recognition it confers. A
poor man is literally nobody, no mat
ter what may be his private worth or
| professional attainments. The only
direct path to position, our young men
are taught, is in the gathering Of dol
lars. They must get rich or vegetate
In obscurity. Filled with energy and
ambition as they are, they are not con-
tent to accumulate. They seek to do
the work of lifetime within the lapse
of few months or few years. As
they grow older, disappointments rem
der them INSCRIPTIONS and desperate,
their moral perceptions become blunt
ed, and dishonorable expedients are
finally resorted to. Public trusts are
betrayed, or meanly turned to advan-
tage. or private positions are made the
shield of all manner of questionable
practices.
