Death.
NeN York sun


There are two popular notions about
death that, though they contradict one
another, have adherents throughout
Christeudom. One Is that what is called
a natural death takes place with the ebb
II the tide the other, that 1t occur. after
midnight, IN what are called the small
hours before dawn. The record, show,
as might have been expected. that the
Black Rider, who respects neither age
nor worldly condition, Is indifferent in
timing his visits- In this city last week
tn. greatest number Of deaths took place
at IL O'Clock in the day, when there were
seven but there were five deaths III each
OF the hours Of 3, 4, Z, and 10 in the
morning and 3, 4, and O'Clock in the
evening. Four PERSONS died at 5 O'Clock,
6 O'Clock, and at clock in the morning
and at o'clock and o'clock in the eve
ming. and three persons died at each of
the hours Of aud 2 o'clock A. NJ, and
8, 10, and IL, o'clock P. NJ There hap
pea-d 10 be no deaths at 5 O'clock in the
evening. The we're 10 more deaths be-
fere noon than after it.

Tis not too much to say that the most
prominent Republican in the late session
of Congress WAS George Maxwell, R,be-
s"n. an ex ex-Seeretary Of the Navy, marvel
onsly unpopular, the victim Of unlimited
hostility both within and without the
House Of Representatives, but powerful
if nor to influence its councils, In give its
debates vigor and racinesa. As such he
is pre-eminently man of the hour.
He was born in B-lvidere, New Jersey,
Of which State he is now a resident, the
snn of a gentleman who had bosn a judge
in Philadelphia county, Pennsylvania 4
mate,nsl uncle aud great uncle had been
members of Congress fran New jersey.
Graduatri at an early ace from PRINCETON
College, he read lsw in the Office of Chief
Justice Hnrnbi"uer- and WAS admitted TO
The bar while still very young mnn. In
1855 lie WAS appointed Prosecutor Of the
Pleas If Camden County by Governor
Newell. aud ten Years later Was made At
tcrney- General of bis naive State. by
Governor Marcus L Ward, as such the
Immediate successor If Mr. Frelinshuy-
sch, the present Secretary of State, who
had been elected 10 the Senate OF the
Cni.ed States. I; VA, In the summer IF
1863 that President Graut put him into
his cahii.et as Secretary Of the Navy, a;

preceicd him IN thnt appointment
His nins,ration of the Office ia ..iIl the
subject If much adverse criticism, and
vii continue to be So. just as long as
Mr. Enheson shall contInue 20 be conspic-
uous in public life. He held the position
eight years, during which time enormous
sums Of money we're spent nn onr naval
marine. with very poor rrsglts, as his
enemies say, Judging from its condition
when President Hayes assumed cf'ice and
superseded HIM As a ia-mbsr OF The
present Congress. his anxIe.y has been
to promo, { naval re-cons.ructIon, but the
Country Is In no I.o"d for 'tinkering
Old vessels nor seemingly for binding new
ones, and whether or not the United
