The Dead of 1873.

THE death-roll of 1878 is long one,
and embraces the names ofmany eminent
men and women of both hemispheres.
Among distinguished foreigners who have
died and whose names are familiar the
world over, the following are the most
prominent: The Emperor Napoleon;
Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton; Adam Sedg
wick, the English geologist; Macready,
the great tragedian John Stuart Mill, the
economist; Ratazzi, the prominent 1tal-
ian statesman; Clara Munot, the novelist,
better known as Louisa Muhlbach; Sir
Edward Landseer, the renowned artist;
King John of SaXony, and Henri Roche
fort, the Red Republican leader of
France.
In our own country we number among
the prominent dead, Governor Geary, of
Pennsylvania; ChiefJustice Chase, Cakes
Ames, James Brooks, William Whiting.
members of Congress; Mansfield T. Wal
worth, the novelist, killed by his own
son; Horace f. Clark, the railway opera
tor; Hiram Powers, the sculptor; Jesse X.
Grant, father of the President; Frederick
Dent, father-in-laW Of the President j ohm
p. Hale, SO well known in the political
history Of the country; General McCook,
killed at Yankton, Oak; Laura Keene,
the eminent actress; General Hardee, au-
thor of Hardee's Military Tactics"
Richard Yates, of Illinois; Louis Agas-
siz; Samuel Nelson, eX-Justice of the SUI
preme Court and others of less renown.
Death has been particularly busy among
prominent clergymen in America. In
the list we find the name of Joel Parker,
ID. D., prominent Presbyterian clergy
man, of New York; the Rev. George At
wood, of New Hampshire; Bishop Nc
Ilvaine; r. s. Storrs, ID. d., of Massa-
chusetts; and Gardener Spring, OF New
York; the Rev. John Todd, Of Pittsiield,
author as well as preacher; solomon
Howard, d. D., eX-President of the Ohio
University, and Bishop Armitage, OF the
Episcopal Diocese of Wisconsin.
1t is said by those who have compared
the lists of prominent dead for 1877; with
those of 1882 or 1857, that though the
mortality among distinguished men has
been very great it is not so large AS in
those years, and perhaps not so great rs
in others that might be mentioned How.
ever this may be, the roll is long ana
painful one. and contains many names
whose owners have not only the plaudIts
of their own countrymcn, but the admi-
ration of the world.-Chtcdgo Inter
