THE JEWEL
PRICE M,GRATH,
sketch OF - Noted Turiman and Gambler
Who We're His Friends.

Price McCirath, the noted turlman and
gambler, who died at Long Branch the other day,
returned to his native State, Kentucky, after the
war, and took with him nm immense sum of
money. Colonel Robert Woolcy of st. Louis, in
speaking of him, says: 81 lie purchased about
that time the magnificent blueg farm of John
Gilbert, esq, which is situated on the outskirts of
Lexington, lie added about 100000 worth Of i'm.
provcments to the place and called II McGrathlann.
There he lived ever aflerward dividing his atten-
ton between raeeh horses and other enterprises, of
which the most prominent was the cN-
tonsive hemp factory of McGrath & Morgan At
MCGrathiana he lived like lord The magnificent
dinners which II was his custom to set just prior to
the spring and fall meetings of the Kentucky Rae
ing Association at Lexington every year were
famous ell over the country. Upon these occasions
he entertained all the distinguished guests in the
city, and frequently as many as three hundred
people have been dined and wineda McGrathiana
In q single day. During these years McGroth had
select coerie of friends who were in the habit Of
dining ut his house at least once week These
gentlemen were among the most distinguished
citizens OF Lexington. Some of them were Gen
eral John c. Brcckinf5Se. Hon. James Beck, Frank
Hunt, esq, Judge Benjamin +. Buckner Hon.
Matthew Johnson, James Grinstcad, Ca.
Morgan Roger Hanson, and Others Foremost
among all these bright men," remarked Colonel
Wooley, was the host, Price McGrath. lie had
more sense more judgment, more wit, more learn
ing than any of them, and, as brilliant as they
were as conversationalsts there was never time
when any OF them was not willing to sit still and
listen to Price McGrath talk Occasionally he
would entertain them with religious discussion
He was an ardent believer in the Christian
religion as demonstrated by the Campbellite
Church, and, though occasionally given to pro-
family, he was never wantonly so, and wheneyera
churchman came his way Price McGrath always
raised his hat out of mere reverence and respect.
He was the most generous person l ever knew.
lie was not married, but he had, think about
100000 poor kinspcople, whom he treated as though
they were his own children. Every girl had a
silk dress, costly bonnet and check for any
amount OF money whenever she asked for It, and
every boy who claimed Price McGrath as his rola-
tive never went away from McGrathiana with an
empty pocket. haven't the least doubt that in
thirty years he gave away quarter of million OF
dollars to his needy relatives, Of whom, as have
already said, there were some in every state III
| the Union"

What Senator Garland Says.

Senator Garland, of Arkansas, said on
Saturday to a reporter of the Little Rock GG:ene! !
The assassination OF the President Is the most re-
maj lkablc In history, Its only parallel Is the burn
ing Of the temple Of Diana at Ephesus by poor
fool who wanted TO 90 down to posterity do not
think that any ono is responsible for the crime but
the poor deludcd wretch who committed II. II Is
a terrible thing TO contemplate, and fear the
effect on the country will bO very serious, The
business interests Of the whole Nation viii be
affected for time, There seems now TO be no
chance for darfeld's recovery, and In his death
the United States loses great man, The assassina
ton Of man in time of war is horrible enough,
but this awful chine, in time Of profound peace, Is
n sharp blow at our Government. II Is bringing us
to a level with the other nations Of the world
where such things have taken place, and the
whole is so miserable that hate to think about IT,"
