Newburyport, Jan. 3.-Caleb Gushing
died here last night, after brief Ill.
ness.
Caleb Cushing was born at Sails.
bury, Mass, in 1900 Upon reaching
maturity, he studied and practiced Law
In Newburyport. which city continued
to be his home through life. He served
a term In the state senate Of Massachu-
setts in 1925, and Travelled over Europe
in 20, and published three books on
bis travels and European institutions.
In '35 he was sent to congress, and was
retained for four consecutive terms.
All this time he supported President
Adams, and was whig until Mr.. Ty-
ler's accession to the chair. This pres
ident nominated Cushing for secretary
of the treasury. but the senate rejected
him. He was then sent to China, and
concluded the first American treaty
with that court.
Returning to Massachusetts, he was
again sent to the legislature, and in AT
he equipped a regiment Of volunteers
at his own expense, and went with
them as their colonel into the Mexican
war, and was made brigadier general
by Gen. Taylor.
In 1853 Mr.. Cushing was made at
torney general of the United States by
President Pierce.
Mr.. Cushing, in 1869, concluded
treaty with the United States of Colom-
bia by which the United States govern
ment was permitted to survey and con-
struct the Darian canal. A few years
afterward he was sent as minister to
Spain to succeed Gen. Sickles, at time
when the two governments were al
most at bayonet points, but he sue
ceeded in restoring good feeling.
Wearying Of the stay in Spain, he re-
turned. Upon the death of Chief JUS
tice Chase, Mr.. Gushing was one Of the
persons nominated by President Grant
to fill the vacancy, but the Senate re-
jected him.
Since then Mr.. Cushing has lived
somewhat retired, but was brought out
last fall as Ben Buffers candidate for
attorney general Of Massachusetts,
which honor he declined a few days
before the election. assigning as rea-
son his advanced age and failing health.
Until few days before his death he
had been no worse than usual, but
declined rapidly on Wednesday and
Thursday.
Thus briefly is the history Of one OF
the brainiest men of the age. The
lateness Of the hour and limited space
prevents more extended notice, which
the subject certainly deserves. But we
shall again mention it.-lED. LEADER.

foreign-born population OF that city greatly
exceeds Ethat Of the native born. In Gin
cinnad. for instance, the native-born popu-
lation is about one-half OF the whole, yet there
are but 2343 births to native mothers to 1898
to foreign-born mothers; that Is. the birth
rate among foreigners Is IS per thousand:
among natives 16. or less than half The
Germans are decidedly the most prolific por-
ton Of the population, the birth rate among
them being Al In thousand.
These statistics, compared with those of
European countries, show the birth rate of
the United States to be about the average.
lt Is plain, however, that this is due almost
wholly to the children born Of foreign immi
grants. Ii this portion Of the population be
omitted, the United States will have to be
placed at the very foot Of the list as the least
prolific country In the civilized world.
