Some Things that an English Writer
on America Forgot to Say.

The writer in NrHfGir who this

but doubtless very faithful. picture of

some fearfully characteristic traits of
the political and social condition of
the American Republic. Every candi-
date for the Presidency who fails tn

the gardens Of the Capitol at Wash

CONCLUSION
Looking for the guidance OF that Divine
Hand by which the destinies Of Nations and
individuals are shaped, l call upon you,
Senators, Representatives, Judges, fellow
citizens, here and everywhere, to unite with
me in an earnest effort to secure 30 our
country the blessing not only of material
prosperity, but Of justice, peace and Union
"a Union depending not upon the con.
s,rants OF force, but upon the loving devo-
ton OF free people, and that all things
may be so ordered and settled upon the best
and surest foundation, that peace and
happiness, truth and justice, religion and
piety, may be established among US for all
generations.
vIcE-PREsrDENT wHEELER's REMARKS.
The following remarks were made by
Vice President Vince Ter before taking the
oath of office in the Senate Chamber:
SENATOR'S: Official station ever brings
with it corresponding duty and RESPONSE
bility Of services. How delicate, and at
times difficult and complex, are the du.
ties which the oath am about to take will
impose on me. As President of the Senate,
it is my sincere purpose to lift myself en-
tirely above the elements Of craftsmanship;
to administer its rules in their true spirit,
WIN courteous nrmness, and by all means
in my power to facilitate and expedite its
deliberations. In doing this, shall need
your aid, your generous forbearance, and at
times your lenient judgment, upon all OF
which l know may confdentially rely, when
you shall be satisfied of the rectitude of my
intention trust that the relation about TO
be established between us may be mutually
pie SAINT and productive of good 10 the best
interests of our National commonwealth.
Mr.. President | am now ready to take the
oath of office.
The Vice President was warmly ap.
p lauded, and the oath of Office was then
administered him by President pro ten.

fatal affections of the lungs follow in many case

MoDEsTY OF A PHILANTHRoPisT
TIE excessive modesty of Lewis Brooks
Of this city (the unknown giver" OF
$500 10 the University Of Virginia)
was induced not only by the motive to
DO his aims in secret, but also for the
reason that he did not wish to become
known as a rich and benevolent man,
and be constantly annoyed by letters
from adventurers and others telling
pitiful If NOT true stories of their wants
and unfortunate circumstances. Pro-
