The growing tendency of rich nlen to
use their money to elevate themselves
into the United States Senate is to be
exemplified in the effort of Mr.. Oliver
to get there from Pennsylvania. Mr..
Sharon has been there from Nevada and
Mr.. Jones from the same state. and Mr..
Fair is coming. The rich men of Mas
sachusetts kept Mr.. Webster in the Sen
ate for the credit of their state. Nova
days statesmen like Mr.. Sherman prefer
to get rich in the Senate, while capital
lists who want avOice in public affairs
prefer to buy the seat for themselves,
except, perhaps, Mr.. Vanderbilt, who is
said to cherish 4 design Of sending his at
torney to the Senate. It is to he remember
ed that even that Sagacious linancier,
VIM. III. Kemble, looked toward the
Senate once ria Lancaster county.

Dick COnnOlly's Death.

Richard B. Connolly, notorious as
Comptroller of New York in the days of
the Tweed ring, and fugitive from
America since the exposure of that ring
ten years ago. died at Marseilles, France
He was attended only by his son Towns
end Connolly, and the latters wife, a
native of Marseilles. He had long sllf-
fered from Brights disease, and submit
ted to several painful surgical operations,
which afforded him no permanent relief.
The last few years of his life were years
of physical agony, which was intensified
by the knowledge that he was fugitive
from his home, and could never see il
again. He was an old man when he fed
from New York, and his eight years of
wandering told severely on him. He
was seventy years old when he died At
the time of the "ring" exposure it WAS
well understood that Tweed, Sweeney,
and Hall intended TO shift the entire re-
sponsibility to Connolly's shoulders, let
ting him receive the punishment of their
sins i'll addition to his own. Connolly's
sagacity, aided by the shrewd advice of
his friends, enabled him to "turn the
tables" on them, however For some
Illle DeIOre Tie Hlliil crash, he mao lore
holdings that the ring frauds would be
discovered, and he converted all of his
property, excepting his mansion on Park
avenue, which he decided to his wife,
into United States bonds and other Sc
curities, and deposited them in Europe,
where they were looked after by his son
Townsend. Many stories have been cir
culated concerning Connolly's greed, but
these tales may all be traced to men who
sought III one way or another to over
reach him; but he was man of sagacity
and shrewd common sense. He was not
given to vulgar show or extravaganza,
and his social life was above reproach.
The influence of his estimable and high
minded wife was felt in his household,
and was ever exerted in behalf of noble
and charitable projects. Connolly's steal
ings from the treasury were estimated
from 100000 to $4,000, 900. His
friends claim that the stories were greatly
exaggerated, and that he only had a
moderate sum Mt the time of his death
His exile became almost uncomfortable of
late years, and he made several over
lures for settlement, offering $780,
600, and being willing to give $500, 900,
but 81 100000 was demanded, and he
said that he could not raise that amount
He leaves three children.

BITS OF INFORMATION.

DOUGLAS JERRoLD is the author OF
I" Mrs. Caudle's Curtain Lectures.
They were written in 1915.
CREMoNA is general term applied to
violins made during the seventeenth
and eighteenth centuries at Cremona in
Italy by the family Amati. These in
strllments have become celebrated
throughout the world for their superb
GRITTY over all others.
PANIC, term often used, has singu-
lar origin. Mr.. Bullfinch, in his "Sto-
ries of Gods and Heroes" describes
Pan, the god of woods and fields, as
having been dreaded by those who
passed through woods by night, for
gloom and loneliness of such scenes dis
pose the mind TO superstitious fears.
Hence, sudden fright, without any visi-
bic cause, WAS ascribed to Pan, and
called Panic terror.
OF our points of punctuation the
period IS the most ancient. The colon
was introduced about 1885; the comma
about 1921, and the semi-colon about
1870. In Sir Philip Sidney's Arcadia, :"
published III 1897, they all appear, as
well as the note of Interrogation, asterisk
and parentheses. The ancients do not
appear to have had any system of pune
tuation. and doubtless employed arbit-
rary signs to distinguish the parts of Il
discourse.
The celebrated Campanile, OF Leaning
Tower of Pisa, was built about 1854. 1t
was erected for the purpose of contain
ing bells, and stands in a square, close
to the cathedral. 1t is built entirely of
white marble, and is beautiful cylinder
OF eight stories, each adorned with a
round of columns, rising one above an
other. 1t inclines so fur on one side
from the perpendicular that a stone
dropped from the top, which is 1SS feet
in height, falls sixteen feet from the
base. Calico made his observations on
gravitation from this tower about 1886,

Brushing Away Gossip.

Rev. Rowland Hill was Jealous
though eccentric clergyman. He had a
large fund of humor, and frequently
drew upon it, in order to "point Il
moral or adorn tale" On one occa-
sion, while visiting a friend in the
country, the conversation degenerated
into idle gossip, and the characters of
several friends and acquaintance were
severely reviewed.
Mr.. Hill was much annoyed, but he
remained silent until there was a lull
in the tattling. Then he rose and rang
the bell. The servant appeared.
Have you a hearth-brush and dust
pan handy?" said Mr.. Hill.
eyes, SIR" replied the servant, won
dering, as did the family and guests,
what the eccentric clergyman could be
thinking of.
Il wish you would let me have them
for few minutes, said Mr.. Hill.
When they were brought to him he
began brushing the carpet.
"A prodigious quantity of dust and
dirt has been scattered this evening, +"
he remarked, as he brushed away,
"and | think it had better be re-
moved"
The hint thus picturesquely conveyed
was taken. During the remainder of
the evening the conversation was more
becoming to Christian ladies and gem
tlemen.

Certain details of the Harrisb urg conyen'

Cameron men, justify their boast that their
young ohiol SWITCHED victory for himself
out Of forogone deloat, and proved himself
by his energy and skill, TO be n born master
# men and political manager. lie got To
Harrisburg TO find himself already beaten,
The instructions he had sent out TO the
counties to hold no county conventions, but
have the delegates named by tho county COM
mittees Of whom, in the majority Of cases,
he felt sure had been resisted In no less than
twenty-seyen Of the sixty-iour counties OF
the State whore county conventions had been
called and held conlr ,ry TO bis wishes What
made the matter still worse, twenty.threo Of
these counties had instructed their delegates
for Blaine, and three Others Ind pissed reso-
lutions of preference. On the other hand,
not single county Ind instructed
for tho ex-Presldent, and oppose
ton to the third term policy WAS open all
over the State. This was the situation when
Mr.. Cameron reached Harrisburg, and the
Cameron men say that anybody but their
chief would have been dismayed, but the
popular opposition only made him the more
determined. First he assumed control Of
the Dauphin county convention, In which
unity he lives, and made that instruct for
the ex-President, so as 10 have at least one
county delegation secure Then he counted
noses to ascertain how he Stood and that
he had the generalship to obtain correct in
formation and to use II effectively when he
got il Is shown by the fact related that when
he had mastered the situation he sent for
Governor Hoyt, who is very popular in
Lackawana and Luzerne counties aud whose
delegates were opposed to the ex-president;
and, with the powerful influence Of the Gov
ernor, Mr.. Cameron won over 10 his side
eight out of the eleven delegates. This
made him sure of success, and he
was able to pick up three more
before the convention went to work,
making those eleven votes, which, If they
had gone against him, would have defeated
him. No more admirable political general
ship has been shown by any one, even the
older Cameron, the PennsylyaniNns say,
and they are very proud Of their young
chief, who did not lose his presence Of mind
In the face of disaster and had the genius to
snatch victory from the jaws of defeat and
the determination TO control the convention
whether the people wanted it or not.
