Death o: John Edgar Thompson

John Edgar Thompson, President Of

who had been suffering for some time
from a compile atom Of diseases, and
for three weeks confined to his bed
died at his residence at Eighteenth
and Spruce streets. Philadelphia, be,
tween - and l o'clock Thursday
morning. His death was accompanied
by little apparent suffering, and nc
one was present at his bedside except
the members Of his family and his
physicians.
Mr.. Thomson numbered among his
ancestors the companions of VIM
Penn, in the first settlement of Penn
svlvanii. His father was the late John
Thomson, Of Delaware county, Penn
Sylvania, a civil engineer of high rep
utation who took all active part in the
early improvement Of the State.
Personally Mr.. Thomson was very
popular. His address was that of a
refined, digniied, yet easy and cour-
teous gentleman kind of heart and
liberal Of hand. in business matters,
however, he was strict disciplinarian.
AS citizen he was highly respected

OUT OF HIS ELEMENT. The New

passioned manifesto from Henri Roche
iurt, the Freuch prisoner escaped from
Caledonia, in which he brings the most
terrible accusations of cruelty and
blood thirstiness against the Versailles
party under MI Theirs. They are
charged with seeking to strike terror
and crush by slaughter the liberal aspi
ration OF the French people Rochetort
seems TO be more bitter and unrelen,ing
in his opposition TO MacMabon than he
was TO the government of Napoleon
III. 1t may be doubted whether Mac
Mahon, at the head of his half million
OF bayonets, will be much concerned
about this ebu'lition OF angry words,
especially at such distance. We are
sorry to see that Rochetort considers
tiat any circ umstances can extenuate
the massacre of the archbishop and
ci-rgy Of Paris, and that he does not
look npon the deeds OF the commune
with the unmiti9ated horror and de-
testation with mich they are regarded
in this country by men Of all political
parties: The American idea of re-
