During the week nothing has transpired
to stir up social circles, the all-absorbing
topic being the death of the President of the
United States. No calamity that has ever
befallen this Nation has created such wide-
spread sympathy and feeling of sorrow and
the deepest regret, as the one that has just
overtaken us. and all because we recognize
the fact that great man has fallen; and
when we say great, we mean to give the
term GREATNESS" all that it can possibly
express. And here we are almost compelled
to stop because of the inadequacy of words
to give proper expression of our meaning.
How wise are the words of that noble bard,
Shakespeare, in picturing out the condition
of and the changes that the human family
are subject to: ''Some men are born great;
some achieve greatness, and some have
greatness thrust upon them" In our la
mented President we have the ideal man
who has achieved greatness. And now
that such has been done, the "Fates" have
decreed that, while gathering the flowers oi
his glory, he should be cut down by the cow

the Jail yard. Before the plants which
sprang frcm the seed reached maturity he
was discharged, and no one knew the name
or nature of them. They grew luxuriantly,
bearing fruit of unusual size and appear

color changed from green to brilliant red,
and became an object of wonder and admi-

as she was sure it was poisonous, and besides
that, she had promised the man who had

THE CABINET.

There is much speculation at Wash
ington and other political centers as
to whether the present Cabinet will stay
in office or not. There will doubtless
be no change at present in any event,
and many are of the opinion that there
will be do change at all unless the Cab
met officers themselves wish to retire.
On the other hand many think that
there will be new Cabinet throughout,
with the possible exception of Mr. Lin
coin.
1t is too early, however, We think, to
indulge in Cabinet speculations with
any degree of certainty. President Ar
