A Yiolent MANS violent Death.

Ned O'Baldwin died yesterday at IL
a. m. He suffered intensely on the pre-
vious night, complaining particularly OF
the lower wound in his abdomen. AT
times he was delirious. tossing on his
bed and crying, sob, my God! my
God when will this end !" His friends,
Mr.. and Mrs. Cassidy, were with him
constantly, endeavoring to comfort him.
He asked repeatedly for ice water and
beef tea. He vomited every few min
utes, grooming. He asked Mrs. Cassidy
'sfor Gods sake, send for the doctor,
to give him some morphine and let him
die in peace. He said he was tired OF
his life :" that he had been Ga poor,
unfortunate man, . and desired Mrs. Cas-
sidy to pray for him for the sake OF his
father ard mother. shave no friends, ;"
said he, "to care for me. My life has
not been right, but hope God will for
give me and heaven be my resting
place" He inquired whether Finnell
had been arrested, and upon being told
that he had not, he exclaimed, "Oh, the
id scoundrel! never did him any
HARM" and Immediately afterward cried,
ssOh, God, forgive me for cursing him.
At another time he wished to know why
he was not allowed to take revenge on
Finnell, meaning the taking Of the pls-
tol from him after he had taken it from
Finnell. His hand was cut between the
thumb and forefnger in the struggle to
get the pistol from him. After the two
shots he took the pistol from Finnen,
and would have shot him if tie crowd
had not interfered. He realized that he
was dying, and said that those at his bed
side knew it too, but were trying to
keep it from MIN. O'Ba.dwin lost three
quarts of blood in the night. He spoke
feelingly of his erring life and want OF
preparation for death. In MS agony he
tried to pull the straps from his wounds,
and once endeavored to get up, but was
held in bed by his attendants. O,Bald-
win was conscious to the last. He re-
peated his request to be buried IN Bos--
ton beside his brother. Mrs. Cassidy got
blessed candle to put in his hand when
he was dying to light his soul into
heaven, but in the excitement she forgot
to light it. He expired at exactly five
minutes before IL o'clock. Michael
Duffy, an undertaken, took charge OF the
body and packed it in ice. He measured
O'Baldwin's body, and found it feet q
inches long, and his arm was 3 feet
inches long.-NeaU York Tribune.

what effect the wire that he had run into
his head had upon the brain. To his
surprise he found two pieces of wire en-
bedded IN his skull that had probably
been there at least six months. One
piece was about two inches long, while
the other lacked but little of che same

had made the incision with the wire a
piece of glass was also found imbedded
in the skull, and had been there SO long

THE MEASURE OF sctanN.

''Oh Scorn, tell IN thy name
What measure fills
Thy measure up? The words men speak,
Mistaking for a lordly scorn
A small contempt, sound puny, tame
The feeble speech but chills,
When it should seek
To STAY, the soul, if it were truly scorn
No paItry vengeances sufficient wreak

Love only. Love alone can seoyn

Compelled it's faith to reap
The bitter harvest of lie. This scorn
Is bitterer than de lth, and win not steep
In death itself, but live eternal scorn."

Col. M. Richards Muckle, business
manager of the Philadelphia Public
LedQer, sent to Prince bismarck few
months ago a handsomely mounted cane,
made from the original timbers taken
from independence Hall during the re-
cent necessary repairs to that time-hon-
ored structure. The cane bore simple
plate telling its little story. The gift
was sent to Berlin through the German
Consul at this port, whence tt was taken
by the German Ambassador to the United
States, Baron Won Schloezer, to Prince
Bismarck at Varzin. The German Chan
cellor has written, with his own hand, a
letter to Col. Muckle, dated, most APP
propriately, on the Fourth of July. The
letter is written in tone that one would
scarcely expect to see in She stern Ger
man Prince. It is as follows, literally
translated
VARz1N, July 4, 1875.
Col M. Richards Muckle, Philadelphia:
DEAR SIR You have had the kindness to
eend ne as support in my olden days cane
cut from the timber of the belfry from the
heights of which ninety-nine years ago to-day
the old bell first rang in honor Of the grand
commonwealth whose ship bells to-day give
frK and welcome sound in all the waters of the
globe.
beg you will accept my heartfelt thanks for
this historical Renaissance, which shall
honor and carefully preserve and hand down
to my children with other relics of remarkable
years. This day is one which never fails to
recall to my mind the happy hours which
spent on many Fourth of July with American
friends-frst with John Lothrop Motley in
Goettingen, in 1882; again, with Mitchell G..
King and Amory Coffin
Would that you, my dear Colonel, and
might always be as healthy and contented as
we four young fellows were forty-three years
ago, at Goettingen, celebrating the Fourth of
July. V. BISMARCK.

President Grants Stock Sale.

The blooded stock of President Grant
was recently disposed of at auction, on
his farm. ten miles from ST. Louis. The
stock went at exceedingly low prices.
Young Hambleton, seven years old, a
stallion, was knocked down for $500. A
fine double team sold for $680-said to
have been bid in for the President. TIE
trotting mare Bessie Knox, for winch
the President paid 81, 900, brought 5000;
another trotting mare, the Belle of st.
Joe, was bid in for Gen. Grant 81, 900.
The mare Vicksburg, ridden by Gen.
Grant at Vicksburg, was knocked down
for $50. About dozen brood mares,
mostly thoroughbreds, sold from $40 to
e85 each. The thoroughbred mare Flora,
sold for $1.35 A Frolic well-bred year

work horses, quantity of harness, crops,
agricultural implements, in fact, all the
working machinery of the farm, which
will be rented hereafter, were sold. Gen.
Grant has decided to make such disposl-
ton of the property rather than run 1t
on his own account. The aggregate
proceeds of the sale are very small, con-
sidering the real value of the property
sold. The mare Lady Morgan, one OF
the team the President paid ST. 300 for
