RUTHERFORD B1RcHARD HAYES, now

Mr.. Tilden, is descended from a Scotch
family. His grandfather was black
smith, who settled in Brattleboro. VT, at
time when the folks there were so CRATE
full for his coming that they inaugurated a
new forge for him by public subscription.
He became prosperous man, and died in
1886. His fifth son. Rutherford, emigra.

short while still young. Three months
after his death. on October 4, 1912, his
widow gave birth to son whom she named
after her deceased husband and brother
who became the devoted guardian Of her
fatherless children. The Hayeses were
essentially an old Puritan family, overrid.
den with all the quaint sedate traditions
Of their class; while the Orchards, on the
other hand, were freer-living and more
genial set Of people.

IT now comes to light that the refusal
of the German Government to take part in
the Paris Exhibition of 1878 is intended
not as sign Of hostility to France, but as
a snub and chastisement for the German
artists and manufacturers who made such
. discreditable show at Philsdelphia'
Prince Bismarck has very plainly express
ed his opinions on the subject, and given
these who bothered him about it to under
stand that he would be no party to making
German art and industry ridiculous for a
third time in the sight Of congregated
mankind.

AFTER being inauguratsd - Fraudu-
lent President, Hayes told Grant that If
there were any Especial friends Of his in
Office whom he might desire 70 have re-
taiued, and Of whose names he would make
q memorandum, they should not be dis
turbed. The list furnished is said to be
long and embarrassing, but Grant holds
successor to the offer and expects q fulfill
ment of the bond. Hence the Cramers and
the crew Of loafers and adventurers, who
we're pensioned on the Treasury by Grant,
are likely to continue on the rolls during
four years Of usurpation,Y and all for the
sake Of civil service reform as preached by
Hayes, Evarts, and Schurz.

EDITORIAL VARIETIES,

The grounding Of the Rusland, together
with the grounding ofthe Amerique,s shows
that there is strip Of the Jersey coast
which offers peculiar facilities for the de"
tentiop Of steamers bound to this port. The
soundings obtained there are said to be the
same as those found off the Long Island
shore, and in thick weather pilots are
apt to be misled, apparently without any
particular fault of their own. With q
heavy sea there would have been fright
full loss of life on both the Amerique and
the Rusland. This is risk that certainly
ought to be obvixted now that the attention
ofthe Light House Board has been so dis
tinctly called to it. 1t seems that fog
horns might be established at proper point
along the Jersey beach which would di
minish the danger, if they did not remove
it altogether. Setting aside the terrible
risk to life, the money lost by the wreck o
either Of these steamers, if either proves
total lost, would far more than pay til
cost Of a proper service Of fog signals. MI
Blunt might better employ his powers il
