the Thomas coal bank discovered the body

cases was suffocation.

The tide OF immigration to Amer

TIE LATE DR.. HOLLAND.

The late DR.. Josiah 6. Holland
will be more widely mourned than if
he had been greater poet or more
original prose writer. No literary
man in America, perhaps, was so
accurately fitted for his precise work
or filed limited sphere so well.
He had the immense advantage of
keeping ona plane of thought just
!s.aboYe that of vast multitude of
readers, each one of whom he could
touch with his hand and raise a
little upward. Thirty years ago,
when John p. Hale was at the height
of his political popularity, and a
public dinner was given to him in
Boston, Mr.. Emerson was present
and. saw Hale for the first time.
Studying the face and form OF the
burly New Hampshire statesman
with keen interest, the philosopher
said to his next nelghbor at the table,
eSee what an average man he is!
He looks just like the five hundred
other men. That is the secret of his
power" II was thus with DR.
Holland: he thought just the thoughts
of the average American citizen, Of
the type unjustly called Philistine
by Mathew Arnold; he stated those
thoughts with admirable good sense
and-he fortified them with a mora
standard uniformly high. Hence his
popularity really travelled westward
on the wave. Of our rational civiliza-

his team at the curb-stone, entered

on the windows and seemed deter

hazard. When all efforts failed he
returned to his wagon, hitched the
horses, and the family sat down on

watched the performance passed
around the corner and suddenly came
upon the boy whose parents lived In

Nary sign, replied the other as he

a EATHER'S FIERCE VENGEANCE.
An old man named Dahlgreen lived
before the war in the northern part Of
Tennessee. His home was pleasant
one, and with his wife and two sons he
lived very happily on his farm until q
quarrel arose between neighbors. The
difficulty was patched, but one of the
sons-both of whom had grown to mans
estate - conceived that he had been
wronged, and one day, while he and his
brother were passing along the road in a
wagon, they came up with five men,
their neighbors, and the quarrel broke
out afresh. The young men were cour-
ageous and would not be intimidated by
their opponents. Hot words led to
blows, and the five young men, pulling
pistols, fred upon the two Dahlgreen
boys and killed them. They ran away,
and, fearing the vengeance of old man
Dahlgreen, for he was even then con-
sidered quite an old man, disappeared
from the community. Of course Dahl
green and his wife were nearly distracted
at the death of their boys" of whom
they were very proud, and Mrs. Dahl
green never recovered from the blow,
but about the time the war. brok,, out
died, and the husband was left to lament
the separation of his family.
He conceived the idea that nothing
was left in this life for him, except to
obtain vengeance on the men who had
robbed him of his sons. He devoted
the remainder of his life to this purpose.
He began Systematically to search for
the five men, whose names were Gridley,
Black, Hewitt, Meyers and man called
Black Tom," but whose true name was
Lurday, and one after another was met
and killed. He had no scruples, no
conscience. His sole object was 10 put
the villains who had made life 10 object
to him out of the way. He took no in
terest in the war. It mattered not
whether the North or South were vic
tors. He shot Meyers and Lurday iu
Tennessee and escaped the officers who
were set upon his track. The old man
disappeared from his county, and no
traces of him were heard for several
years. The man Gridley died Of pneu-
monia in Cincinnati, and Black is scrv-
ing out term in the State penitcntiary
at Columbus, Ohio, for burglary.
The last Of these men, Hewitt, was
slowly but surely tracked by Dahlgreen
to Colorado, and it was there in little
town on the frontier of the State, al
Coyote, he came up with him and shot
him in cold blood, after he had thrown
up his hands and asked for mercy. The
little community was terribly excited
about the murder, and started officers
on the track of Dahlgreen, who threw
them off the scent.

THE RELIABLE MAN.

The reliable man is always there
when lie is wanted. You do not
have to send to twenty different
places after him; if he is not at home.
his wife can tell you. where he is.
The reliable man always tells his
mission to his wife. He is not fool
enough to marry woman he cannot
trust. lie is not much of talker,
but he thinks a great deal. His
judgments are unbiased. If he
should be elecied Governor he will
carry State affairs with just and
firm hand. In. private life he will
always have plenty of kindling wood
ready in the morning No running
around in the cold for his toilet.
He wont be likely TO whip The
children when they don't deserve it.
He can bear allusion to a religious or
political belief which does not accord
with his sown without going into
tantrums. TIe can give advice and
keep his temper if it is not taken and
followed. He knows there are peo-
pie in the world beside himself. He
believes that this planet will continue
to run with moderate degree of
success after he shall sleep with his
fathers. He never tells what he
would have done 'if'he had only been
there. If he makes you a promise,
you know he will keep it, unless he
dies before the time of it's redemp
ton. Ifhe states fact for fact,
yon know that you can credit the
statement. If he sells you a horse
and warrants him sound you need
not look for SPAWN or rigbone after
the first days hard driving. His
word is as good as his boad. He is
honest; you can trust him to do as
he agrees. You need not watch him;
he will do just as well without it.
He has respect unto himself, and
would be ashamed to have his own
soul convict him of dishonesty.
If you are in trouble, you know
you can expect help from him. IF
you are down in the world,' he will
stand by you. II other friends have
forsaken you, he will uphold and
support you. In society the reliable
man is worth his weight in gold.
la the church he is invaluable; he
will pass the contribution box when
the wardens are laid mp with bad
colds; he will lake care of the minis
ter's house when he goes away for a
days pleasuriEg; he will help the
ladies put down the new vestry carpet
and he is ready to. stir the oyster
stew, or tend the elevator from the
kitchen, when the society have an
''old folks's supper" All the girls
like him, and the boys respect him,
and his wife is proud of him, lays
great emphasis on what ''my hus-
band" says-for she knows he is
reliable. And We devoutly wish
there were more like him.

TAMMAnY HALL,

I A New New York paper gives a
descrition of the Tammany Club,
which we brifly summarize:
"Its exterior and political organi
zation consists of a general council,
composed of about 7S4 members, one
for each election district in the city
of New York. These are elected at
the primaries every December by
the democratic voters who are willing
to act with Tarnmany hall. This is
known as the general committee of
the Tammany Hall Democracy.
Under this general committee are the
assembly district committees, twenty
| three in number, and consisting of
from three to five members (also
elected at the primaries in Dccem
ber) from each of the election dis
tricts, making total membership in
/ the district committees Of about three
thousand members"
The Order of St. Tammany, or the
Columbian Order, dates it's existence
back to the first term of Washing
toms administration. From that time
until 1924 it existed as mere politi-
cal club, without popular representa-
tion or much influence. In 1924 the
members of the club took steps to
secure conference with the portion
OF the democratic party which was
| friendly to the club, with the ultimate
purpose of elevating Andrew Jackson
10 the presidency. The result of this
action was the election of a general
committee of f,rty- five persons, three
from each of the then fifteen wards
in New York. The duties of the
general committe are to carry out the
plans of the council. The council
determines what shall be done and
the general committe proceeds to do
it. Among the most prominent of
its duties is that of getting voters to
the polls on election day. This duty
it is charged has sometimes been SO
zealously performed that other voters
than TammanY's found voting a mat
ter Of considerabl BILE difficulty. The
deliberative council consists at pres
ent Of about sixty members. 1t is
composed of two members of the
general committee from each assem-
bly, district, elected by the aggrega-
| ted general committe, to whom are
| added the chairman and other officers
of the general committee, ex oflicio.
We have here a deliberate body of
sixty men, with force of about $500
workers TO carry their plans into
execution. The voting strength of
the Tamany faction is not so easily
determined, as it has nearly always
made nominations for the democratic
party to support. 1t serves the place
Of assembly district and county con-
ventions, and so long as it controls a
majority of the democratic votes, the
calling of assembly district or county
conventions outside of Tammany
would do no good, as Tammany del
egates would be elected. In the
forty-two years from 1884 to 1876,
Tammany held the Mayoral:y twenty
six years, anti-Tammany democrats
four years, native American, Wing
and Republican parties dividing the
remaining twelve years among them.
In 1874 there was a Tammany, an
anti-Tammany and republican can
didate, with the result of clear ma
jority tor Tammany of nearly ten
thousand votes. Two years later
Tammany elected Smity Ely by
smaller majority, but in 1878 Cooper
acting with Tiiden defeated the club.
