Death of Ex.senator Richardson.

Ex-senator VIM. A. Richardson died
at the residence of his son-in-law, Capt
T. T. Dwight, on the morning of Decem-
Der ~, at three o'clock, of paralysis Mr..
Richardson was born January 10, 1911,
in Fayette County, KY He graduated
at the Pennsylvania University, studied
law, and came to the bar before attain
ing his twentieth year. About 1881 he
located at Nashville, Illinois. In 1848 he
went to Quincy. which has been his home
ever since. In 1885 he was elected States
attorney; in 1886 q member of the State
Legislature in 1888 to the State Senate,
and, in 1914, again elected to the Legis-
lature, and elected Speaker of the House
In 1916 he served as captain in the Next
can war, and on the battle field of Buena
Vista was promoted by the unanimous
vote OF his regiment. In 1847 he was
elected to Congress, and was reelected
five times, continuing to serve until 1856,
when he resigned, having received the
nomination for Governor against Gov
ernor Bissell. In 1857 he was appointed
by President Buchanan Governor of
Nebraska, but resigned in 1858. In 1860,
he was, contrary to his desires, re elected
TO the House of Representatives, but be-
fore his term expired, in 1868, was
elected Senator from Illinois, to fill the
unexpired term of his friend 3. A. Doug
las. Soon after his term expired, his
wife, a lady of superior qualities and
estimablc character, died, which came
near being the ruin of Mr.. Richardson.
Several years ago he determined never to
touch drop of liquor again, and with
him to resolve was to execute. This
pledge made to himself he faithfully kept
up to his death. He was, at the time of
bis death, a member from Quincy of the
Board of Supervisors, where his earnest
efforts for Quincy's interests were duly
appreciated. He leaves a daughter and
three SONS, all grown.

SHINING q RhinOcerOs.

A rhinoceros belonging to me.
nagerie recently died in New York State,
and wss skinned and cut up that bis
skeleton and skin might be prepared fos
the Albany Museum.
The skin is from three quarters of an
inch to an inch thick, and some idea OF
its weight may be obtained when it is
stated that it required twelve strong
men to lift the box containing it. The
skin will have to be reduced one-half in
bulk, and will be put ever manikin by
the improved French method, the old
German method of stuffing with straw
being found impracticable. To properly
prepare the skin, large vat will have to
be made, in which it will be placed over
night in solution of alum and salt. 1t
will be taken out each day and worked
down. The operation will require about
two weeks.

A Want Supplied.

lErOm the new IOrk Tribune.
The American mind is active. 1t has given
as books of fiction for the sentimentalist,
learned books for the scholar and profess
sional student, but tes0 books for the people. A
book for the people must relate to subject of
universal interest. Such subject is the
physical man, and such book "THE PEo-
Pies COMMON SENSE MEDICAL ADVISER"
copy of which has been recently laid on
our table. The high professional attain.
ments of its author-Dr. r. v. PIERCE, of
Buffalo, N. Y.-and the advantages derived
by him from an extensive practice, would
alone insure for his work a cordial recep-
ton. But these are not the merits for which
it claims our attention. The author is man
of The people. He sympathizes with them
in all their Affections, efforts and attain
ments. He perceives their want-a knOscl-
edge Of Memselves-and believing that all
truth should be made as universal as Gods
own sunlight, from his fund of learning and
experience he has produced work in which
he gives them the benefits Of his labors In
it he considers man in every phase of his
existence, from the moment he energies
from rayless atom, too diminutive for the
sight, until he'gradually evolves to the ma
turity of those Conscious P0aUcrs, the exercise
of which furnishes subjective evidence of
our immortality" Proceeding upon the
theory that every fact of mind has physi-
cal antecedent, he has given an admirable
treatise on Cerebral Physiology, and shown
the bearings Of the facts thus established
upon individual and social welfare. The
Author believes with Spencer, that as Wig
orous health and its accompanying high
spirits are larger elements of happiness than
any other things whatever, the teaching how
to maintain them is a teaching that yields to
no other whatever" and accordingly has in.
troduced an extensive discussion of the
methods by which we may preserve the in.
tegrity of the system and oftimes prevent
the onset Of disease. Domestic Remedies
their preparation, uses and effects-form a
prominent feature of the work. The hygenic
treatment, or nursing of the sick, is an i'm
portant subject, and receives attention com
meusurate with its Importance. Nearly all
diseases Ito which Aesh is heir" are de.
scribed, their symptoms and causes ex-
planned, and proper domestic treatment sug-
gested. To reciprocate the many favors be-
slowed upon him by generous public, the
author offers his book at a price $1.50) little
exceeding the cost Of publication. Our read
ers can obtain this practical and valuable
work by addressing the suthor.

when you are tired of her. as must soon

AMONG Che things which hundreds q

AMONG the things which hundreds OF
people have noticed, and nobody has
written about, is the fact that the Uni
ted States coat Of arms is the tame sub
stantially as that of the Washington
family. The contemporary records are
singnlarly silent in regard to this, but 1t
was probably the design of those who
adopted our national blazon to make It
conform to the private escutcheon Of the
State, in case the revolutionary leader
should be the founder ola dynasty. This
was not Q matter to talk about at that
time, and reticence was easier then than
in these times of omniscient journalism
and indiscreet interviews. But what
can escape the eye Of genius? Martin
Fsrquhar Upper has somewhere seen
our eagle and shield, and wandering in
Hampshire, has CHANGED upon coat of
arms Of the Washingtons of Wessyngton,
end hes seen, as many have seen before
him, that they were almost identical.
But he alone has burst into blank verse
about 1t, and newspapers are deriding
him fes his diseovesyr
