"HARPER's WEEKLY" recalls the TemaTh
Of Daniel Webster, who said that when
ever there was anything to be said or don't
for liberty, there was sure to be an AdamI
there. Certainly the name is very emin
ent in the history OF liberty in this Coun
try. And some remarks Of John Adams
when the Constitution Of the United State
was under discussion, show, In the lighI
of to-day singular political pFescience. Mr.
Adams was opposed to usaOciatipg thu
Senate with the President in the appoint
ing power. In a letter 10 Roger Sherman
in 1889 he ssys:

Of tbs greatest kinds, both Of ambition

To the days whose joys and sorrows

And the scenes of happy childhood.

I recognize the towers,
The archway and the door;

And pass the bridge once more.

Along the well-worn way;
cross the courtyard pavement
With time grown old and grey.

Which never more shall hear.

And the flowers are rs gay

A NAMELESS GRAVE.

A sad occurrance marred the last
trip of the steamship Dakota from this
port to San Francisco. An eldery
married woman named Callahan had
taken passage on the steamship, and
occupied, in company with little girl,
one of the deck staterooms. She was
very seasick on the passage down, and
moreover, was regarded as a little in
sane She seemed to have great deal
of trouble on hand and spoke despon-
dinghy of having been deserted in her
old age by her husband, who had taken
up with a squaw at lverness, on tie
northwest coast Of British Columbia.
When one day out from San Francisco,
on the 22d ult, at lunch time, the old
lady remarked to her roommate in an
apparently Indifferent tone: "lf | were
to jump overheard now, l shouldn't be
seasick again, should IT. "Oh, no."
replied the other, ''you wouldn't be
sea sick any more" The old lady
walked to the room door, opened it,
stepped out upon deck, and was seen
no more by her roommate. Two gen
tlemen-one of them was>the Rev Mr.
Mr.. Ried of Victoria-were standing
on deck converting (both happened to
lie near sighted), they saw indistinctly
some object fall from the railing into
the water, but supposed it to he n
package of rubbish which had been
thrown out Of one Ct the rooms In
the wake of the ship almost immedi-
ately afterwards, red object appeared
floating on the water: 81 wonder,
said Mr.. Reid, "what that isl" "Oh,
replied his companion, ''it must be a
tea chest the steward has thrown over
board" They thought no more of the
occurrence until later in the evening
when it was found that Mrs. Callahan
had disappeared, and they then became
convinced that the object they took to
be package of rubbish was the old
lady precipitating herself into the sea,
that the red object afterward observed
astern was red shawl which the sui.
eide wore Mrs. Callahan was a resi-
dent of San Francisco and aged abou,

speakers in public meeting in New

being the paid attorney Of Jay Gould,

this statement is absolutely without

never been employed by Gould or
Huntington, nor has he ever been the
attorney Of any of the Pacific rail-
roads or employed by them or in re-
ceipt of money from them.
