Richard Claiming, of Dorchester, mar

against the mans will, and the result
was that Mary poisoned her husband.
She was tried for the murder, and was
hanged ON the 2lst OF March, 1905, be-

she was dead her body vas burned in

Not long since special kilograms we're
sent out from Washington that Mr..
Seymour had written a letter which
would be Immediately published declar-
ing that be would not consent TO be.
come a candidate for the Presidency.
But the letter has not come, and we
hope it will not. His nomination will
be followed by his election, and we are
advocating him because we think he is
fit for the place, and available. He is
the embodiment of the conservative
spirit that is abroad in the land. He
has been living in retirement and has
not mixed in the agitation that has kept
alive sectional luminosity for years.
Put him on the conservative tide which
is now at its food and he will be car
ried into the Presidency upon popular
wave which will be irresistible. vii
the Democratic leaders see it, and i'm
prove the opportunity? Here is the
conclusion Of biographical sketch Of
Mr.. Seymour from the Washington
Post
Horatio Seymour to-day il firm and erect
with no sign Of declining strength, physical
or intellectual. lie writes and speaks with
all his old time yigor. At his quiet home,
in Deerield he gladly meets those who
come ~ visit him, and every man who leaves
his presence carries with him new and
exalted idea Of Gov. Seymours greatness.
! Among his immediate neighbors it would be
difficult TO estimate, impossible 10 exagger-
ate, his popularity. His charities ere bound
ed only By its resources, but he is the most
transformations Of givers. He will listen
patiently to talk on all subjects save his
own generous deeds; yet 10 the doing OF
such deeds he dodicates most Of his time,
Gov. Seymour in the ripeness of his years,
is more thoroughly convinced than ever
before that the success of the Democratic
party is essential to thewelfare Of the country.
He believes in parties, He has no sympd-
thy with that spirit which plumes itself on
its indifference to the duties of citizenship
He believes, moreover, in politicians He
thinks no other class are so faithful TO one
another, or to their sense of duty and honor,
or work so hard for rewards 80 small IA the
protest. onal politicians.
Ioratio Seymours usefulness is not yet
ended. AS a counsellor or leader he still
stands foremost among the Democrats Of
America.

Find Out Your Speciality.

The great secret of success is to do some
one thing remarkably wen. Whatever one
has genius for, whether iG be music, or law i,
or house building, wilt generally afford him
the means OF livelihood and make his name
known to many. therefore. short receiDs
for success would be: Find out your speei-
atty, and go ahead. A lifetime spent in
doing poorly what others do well, is life
time thrown away. Aud as we generally
feel within us the power we really possess
It is well to let boy-yes and girl also
choose profession or trade. Many on,
who is carpenter against his will, wor IA
have made an able clergyman and me nv ~ J
clergyman forced into the pulpit by on,hi.
tieus parents, would have been f - more
useful as a carpenter.

approval Of the people at large. 1t is a

We wonder when we consider the great

be necessary to protect these faithful ami

there are those who wear the form Of man,
who are far below the noble animals they

legislation their evil passions.
We every day see this upon our streets,
in the overlooking Of drays, wagons, etc,
aud the cruel use Of whips and goads. II
not for humanty's sake, wise economy
should dictate such law, for it is taught by
experience that improper care and abuse de-
stroys the capacity for good labor and
shortens the lives Of these valuable and pa

Rest from Sectional Agitation.

There is wisdom in the fixed determi-
nation of the Democrats in Congress,
North and South, and especially South,
to avoid renewal of sectional agitation
in any form. What the country needs,
and especially the South, is radiance
of the quarrel between the two sections.
The struggle was ended on the field
fifteen years ago. The good sense of
the people Of both sections should re-
quiro of their politicians that they
should end it in the forum. Let it be
well understood that the bloody shirt
when waved before the eyes of a South
ern Congressman is not TO be regarded
rs an invitation to a war of tongues,
but as sign that the man who waves it
is fool or IL IunNtic fit only for a
straight jacket and the lunatic asylum.
