DUCHESS OF EDINBURGH IN ENG
EgE IF A LAND.


The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh left
Antwerp on the night of the 9th and reached
Gravesend the next ming. cOrfcspon-
dent of the Times says:
The weather was lovely, the iiyer flashing
like sheet of silver, the white chalk pits
cleaning in the sun, and the dirty little town
tricked out of all recognition with flowers and
flags and draperies of gay cloth The river
was crowded with steamers from London,
gorgeous with fluuering bunting the pier was
cramned with privileged spectators, and the
narrow streets leading TO the station were
packed with people, so that there was barely
room for the PROCESSION. As the roy al steam.
er drew near, the Duke and Duchess were
seen on deck and there was, of course, tre-
mendous cheering. The Duke appeared to be
directing his wife's attention TO various OBJ
jects OF interest, and among others to the tiny
fort at Tilbury, where Queen Elizabeth, as
Mr. Motley has shown, rather starved than
animated her gallant defenders. The old fort
has long ago disappeared, and the present one
Is only a common brick erection, occupied by
Sergeant and one or two artillery men
When the royal couple landed, there were 1920
little girls, in white and blue to receive them
and strew flowers in their path, and amid the
pealing If bells, the thunder Of ordnance, and
the almost louder roar of human voices, they
vent their way. The journey from Graves
end 10 Windsor was performed by railway.
Lendon was touched on the way at Waterloo
Junction, but without any stoppage or demon

saw her husband carrying lady s

off her before discovering that it was

her becoming suspicious without tho

How TO PUT CHILDREN TO BED
Not with reproof for any of that days
sins OF omission or commission. Take
any time but bedtime for that. II you
ever heard little creature sighing or
sobbing in it's sleep. you could never
do this. Seal their closing eyelids
with kiss and blessing. The time
will come when, all too soon, they will
lay their heads upon their pillows,
lacking both. Let them, then, at
least. have sweet memory Of happy
childhood, of which no future sorrow
or trouble can rob them. Give them
their rosy youth. Nor need this in
volve wild license. The judicions pa
rent will not mistake my meaning. If
you have ever met the man or the wo.
man whose eyes have suddenly filled
when little child has crept trnstincly
to it's mothers breast, You have seen
one in whose childhood's home "dig-
nifty" and ''severity" stood where love
and pity should have been. Too much
Indulgence has ruined thousands of
children; too much love. not one.

Since our last report the demand for
Wool has been light, and the sales have
been mainly in small lots. Holders Of
fine Ohio and Pennsylvania Woods are
confident of the future Of the market,
and are not disposed to concede anything
to buyers for the sake OF starting trade.
On the other hand anufacturers feel
that in the present condition of the
Goods market they can not pay an ad-
vance on receipt quotations The re-
suit is quiet week. The Ohio and
Pennsylvania Woods here are mainly
double extra and above, and choice extra
will bring nearly as much as double eX-
ira. The sales of these grades have
been mainly at 559562c, with higher
range of prices on an occasional lot of
triple extra and above. On Michigan
and Wisconsion feeces the range of
prices is somewhat wider, and there is
less firmness. Sales of these Woods
have been made at from so to 53c.
In pulled Woods the demand has been
light, except for choice extras. The
best lots are held steadily, but on any
thing but the choicest there appears to
be little weakness, and we hear of sales
at prices considerably below those at
which the same Woods were sold two
or three weeks ago. This mainly on
Woods worth less than so cents.
Sales for the week foot up / ,200, ,00C
lbs domestic and 10000 lbs foreign; in
cluded in the former are the following
sales of fleece: $4,000 lbs on private

The Death of Ex-President Fillmore.


The advanced age Of cx-President
MiIIiard Fillmore, coupled with severe
stroke Of paralysis which fell upon him
so recently, prepared the country for the
intelligence of his death, which took
place on Sunday, 7th inst.
Mr.. Fillmore was born in Cayuga
county, New York, January I, 1900
1t was then comparatively wilderness.
His educational opportunities were linz
tied, and he Nas nineteen before he ever
saw grammar or geography. lie was
early apprenticed to, and did learn the
fuIIers trade, but when about twenty de-
termined to study law. He bought his
time Of his employer, and commenced
to study with retired lawyer named
Walter Wood, teaching school in the
winter season. When Of age he re-
moved to Buffalo, where he found en-
ployment in the postoffice-then school,
and he continued his law studies by cam
die light before breakfast, and thus four
years later was admitted to Practice
He then removed TO Aurora, where his
parents then lived, where he commenced
the practice and rose rapidly in his pro-
fession.
His political life commenced in 1898,
when he was elected as an anti-Mason to
the Legislature. He served three terms.
In 1882 he was elected to Congress; again
in 1886, '38 and 40, as Wing, with
moderate anti-slavery tendencies. He
was Chairman of the Committee Of Ways
and means in the Twenty-seventh Con-
gress, and the author of the famous tar
if of 1872. He was a candidate for the
nomination to the Vice Presidency ir
1874, and nominated for Governor o.
New York in the fall of this year by the
Wigs, but defeated by Silaa Wright.
In 1S48 he was nominated by thC
Wings for Vice President, with Genera
TAYLOR for President, and elected. The
latter died in the summer of 1850, ano
Mr.. Fillmore became President, and a
time a great political excitement ovel
the question of the admission of Cali
fornia. The famous Compromise bill o
Mr.. Clay, though modified, was finally
passed and approved; part of this com
promise measure was the fugitive Slav'
Act. The approval of this act was I
death stroke to Mr.. Fillmore's politica
hopes Although the Wings in th'
Convention of 1852 approved the acts o
his administration, they did not venture
to renominate him. He commanded M
support, and at the end of his term re
tired to Buffalo, where, having lost hi
wife before leaving Washington, he lee
a rather secluded life. He visited Eu
rope in 1855, and 1856, and before hi
return, was nominated by the American
party for the Presidency. Maryland
was the only State that gave him it
Relectoral vote. In 1858 Mr.. Fillmor
was married to Mrs. Caroline Mcintosh
and from that time to his death, LEI
quite a social life, never taking an ac
tive part in public affairs, though occa
sionally, and after the war, his name re
appeared in connection with politics
and once as possible candidate as Presi
dent. Cincinnati Commercial.
