POoR DEAR HANNAH ANN.-The lest
thing we have seen vet relative to the
Grant letter is from the New York Tribune
and explains itself, viz : Ii was a great
many years ago that the story was first
tod of Miss Hannah Ann Sterry, an uncom-
monty mature virgin who had never been
presented with masculine attentions be-
cause of the vigorous manner IN which she
Stunned the face of man. 1t was related
that Mr.. Theophilns Wimblcbee, an ad-
vanced bachelor of the mildest possible
department, occupying single quarters in
the neig n hborhood of Hannah AIMS apart
ments. called on the spinster one afternoon
to borrow match. Hannah Ann was not
easily fooled. Folding hei arms on her
level breast she backed Theophilus VIM
plebee into corner, and thus addressed
the invader: ''Match Oh yes Great
match tits You want You don't want no
match. and you know you don't You've
come over to me cause I'm all aione-to
hug and kiss me-tEat's what you We come
for; but you shall never do it in the world
unless you're stronger'n | am''-and then
she added i'm softened tone. land the
Lord knows you are" A friend of Hannah
AIMS reading letter from a public man
the other day in which the writer said ::
''To recapitulate, | am not, nor have
ever been. a candidate for denomination !;
would not except a nomination if it were
rendered, unless it should come under such
circumstances as 10 make it an imperative
duty, circumstances not likely to arise''-
laid down the paper with sigh and re-
marked: "Ah. how much tha, reminds me
of poor dear Hannah Ann''

Father" BOehm Dying.

THE VENERABLE PATRIARCH ON HIS DEATH BED IN
RHODE ISLAND.
The venerable Henry Boehm patriarch OF the
Methodist Church and the Oldest clergyman In
the world, is now on his deathbed, at the resi-
dence Of his granddaughter, near Richmond, R
l. He removed thither from the residence Of
his daughter, in Jersey City, during the summer
having been suffering from erysirelas OF the
eyes.
The excitement consequent on his centennial
celebration at Jersey City, on the 9th Of last
June, prostrated him. His physician advised
repose and retirement, and he was restored to
moderately good health. On the 18th inst. he
undertook to preach in the village church, and
WAS attacked with a severe cold which COM
PEELED him to take to his bed. Medical attendance
was unavailing, and he sank gradually. Yester-
day his family physician, Dr. Hadden, OF Jersey
City WAS summoned to his bedside, and the aged
patient WAS subjected TO a tedious and painful
operation for all affection of the kidneys. He
bore his sufferings with remarkable fortitude
There WAS brief interval of relief
from three to four o'clock In the af-
ternoon, which inspired favorable hope.
His physical condition is 30 debilitated, howey-
er, that his death is looked for at any moment
He converses freely with his family, and when
his approaching end was spoken Of he raised his
hands and gasped out something about going to
his home.
During the past year ho has frequently pro-
pheaied that this would be his last Ia the Jour-
ney here below, and that then he would go yon-
der (pointpg upward) to his home.

him comes several Democrats. 1t ID understood
that Mr.. Blaine will lay down the Republican
doctrine for the House, aud that he Will urge
the funding OF the greenbacks. Mr.. Kelley will,
of course, present once more his well known
plan, which the pege, in the House last year
called the "interconyarnble bond plan." MIR.
Chittenden will present the views OF New

tnuing an inc o lvertible currency One
democrat is to make PLAN hard money
speech, but others of that side, it is said, Will
demand the extinction Of the national banks
and the substitution of legal tenders as the only
currency. The Speaker is not believed to favor
this plan, and If MIR. Morrison, Chairman OF the
Ways and Means, speaks at all he Will take
strong ground for resumption at an early day.
