OF foN al luel, and the Introduction OF
horsesnnd cattle. BY these and similar
nicans he so endeared himselft to the peo-
pie, as'well us to their wise and henevo-
lent ruler, that when he left them they
erected statue to his memory in park
that he had laid out for their recreation.
The elector, in gratitude for his services,
had previously settled upon him pen
sion Of 10000 crowns year tor his life,
with remainder over of half that amount
to his daughter, (who still remained in
Massachusetts, for her life he also made
him count of the Roman Empire, with
the privilege of choosing his own title
To his eternal honor, be it said, that the
love for the home Of his youth triumph
ed over the memory OF the prosecutions
he had suffered, and he chose the title of
Rumford, from the little New England
village, where he had once taught school.
Thenceforth he was to be known to fame
as Count Rumford, a title truly honorable,
because it was acquired solely by dstin-
guished services to his fellow men.
His health failing from excessive Ia.
Dor, lie went back to England in 1893,
and bad serious thoughts Of returning
to the United States. Having received
from the American government formal
invitation to revisit his native land, he
wrote to an old friend to select "little
quiet retreat" for himself and daughter
in the vicinity of Boston. This inten-
tention however failed, as he shortly at
ter became involved in the enterprise of
founding the Royal Institution in Eng
land for the promotion of science.
Leaving England Rumtord took up
his residence in France, and the estima-
tion in which he was there held may be
judged of by tie fact that he was elected
one of the eight foreign associates of the
Academy Of Sciences.
Count RumGord bequeathed 10 uar-
ward University D. fund to endow a pro-
fessorship of the Application Of
Science to the art of Living, and insti-

c0sions mobbcd and threatened with Il
coat OF ar and feathers unless he left the
country Under these circumstances
he left hs native land in disgust, and
fled to England, where his commanding
talents were soon appreciated, and he
took II 4s,ponsblc position under the
government, which he held for several
years. Thus says his bio.raphcr, Sparks:
d" lie was. in tluth, lost to the land of

among nations; AMI she neglected as a
son one who might have rendered her
worthyscrvicc in the field and in the
cabinet In England he enjoyed IA lib
crall salary, received the honor Of
knightlDod, and was admitted to the
best so'hty. Indeed the history Of his
career in Europe is more like romance,
than sober truth. The charms Of his
conversation and manners seem to- he the

and finely formed limbs, his bright blue
eyes, his features chseed IN the Roman

SO says his biographer.-Truveling IN
Germany he came in contact with the
Elector of Bavaria, who, charmed with
his vast acquirments and the elegance OF
his manners, offered him the post of
chief minister and confidential adviser,
which he accepted and retained for many
years. There, in the occupation Of a po-
sition second to that of royalty, he set
the world noble example OF the true
use of power. All his aims and labors,
which G,ay I've compared to those Of Her
cules, were for the benefit Of the state
and OF the people. Indeed, through life
his grand desire seems to have been to
benefit mankind. He reorganized the

The Landing Of the Pilgrim Fathers
in New England.

BI FBIICiA HRMRNs.
The breaking waves dashed high
on stern and rock bound coast,
And tho woods against stormy sky
Their giant branches tossed
And the heavy night hung dark
The hills and waters o'er
When band OF exies moored their bark
on the wild New England shore.
Not as the conQueror comes,
They, the true.hearted. came;
Not with the roll Of the stirring drums.
Ana the trumpet that sings Of fame:
Not as the flying come,
In silence and In fear -
They shook the depth of the desert gloom
With their hymns of lofty cheer
Amidst the storm they sang,
And the stars heard, and the sea
And the sounding aisles of the dim woods rang
To the anthem of the free.
The ocean eagle scared
From his nest by the white waves foam,
And the rocking pines Of the forest rosred,-
This was their welcome home.
There were men with hoary hair
Amidst that pilgrim band
Why had they come TO wtther thers.
Away from their childhood's lendi
There was womans fearlsss eve,
Lit by her deep loves truth;
There was manhood's brow sereney high,
And the fiery heart of youth
What sought they thus ATARI
Bright jewels of the minel ...
The wealth of seas. the spOis Of war -
They sought faiths pure shrine
Ay. cnll 1t holy ground
The soil where first they trod
They have left unstained what there thew
found -
Freedom to worship God.

THE NEW LOAN.
Promiuent Bankers again in Consuitation
with Secretary Morrill,.

WARRINGTON, Aug. 1s.-The bankers
were again in consultation with the Secretary Of
the Treasury to-day, occupying SO much Of bis
time as to prevent him seeing the officers Of the
department. While Seligman aud Drexei were
educating Secretary Morrill,, LIP. Morton amused
himself for two hours in the ante. room gazing
impatiently upon sickly plot OF grass In the
yard enclosed by the walls Of the building. II
is evident from the detached delegations walt
ing upon the Secretary that bankers, like doc
tors, disagree, and In this case with no one to
decide, as Morrill, adberes to the plan not to
commit himself to any suggestion made by his
visitors. The question now arises whether the
four per cent. bond would not satisfy tho de-
mand for sound securities. There are seven
hundred millions Of these, and three hundred
millions more could be added at the next ses-
sion OF Congress.
The bankers to-day complained that tho bond
had not a sufficient length OF time to run, II be-
inx nominally due 10 1888. "why," said the en-
phatic Secretary, "do you want them to run
over for1 There Ia already thousand millions
OF six per cents and over five hundred millions
OF i've per cents out that must be called In be-
fore a dollar Of the four and half per cent
bonds can be called In. fear 1t will be many
years before this part OF the loan Will be re-
placed by bond bearing lower rate OF tnte-
rest than ~ per cent" The money changers
