ranks of guards aid ran toward the
carriage. He was pushed back by the
officer, and the mob threw him 10 the
ground and literally hacked him TO
pieces with knives. BY tho time the
police could interfere the mans body
was mangied past recognition. There
was nothing to show that his intentions
were murderous, and 1t is quite possible
that he only intended 10 throw q petit

czar was not informed of the matter

Our country has buried eighteen
Presidents, whose graves arc scattered.
and yet nine States include the entire
number. New Hampshire has the grave of
Pierce, and Massachusetts, holds the
two Adams, father and son. New York
contains Van Buren and Fillmore,
while Pennsylvania only has Buchanan.
Kentucky can boast the grave of Taylor,
while Illinois is honored by that Of
Lincoln. Ohio has two-Harrison and
Garfeld-both cut of soon after the
opening OF their official career. Ten
nessee has three, Johnson, Polk and
Jackson, while Virginia, the "mother
ot Presidents" has taken five to her
bosom in final rest-their names being
Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Mon
roe and Tyler. Looking back on the
past, what long interval occurred be-
tween the death of Washington and
that OF his successors-nearly twenty
seven years-but then it brought the
death Of two in one day. The largest
number Of ex-Presidents alive occurred
when John Q. Adams began his sd-
ministration. At that time old John
Adams, with Jefferson, Madison and
Monroe, were not only living. but we're
in full possession of all their faculties.
The smallest number OF eK.Presidents
is found during Hayes administration,
when the number was reduced 10 one
General Grant.
