The author Of "vanity Fair" far from
fortunate In the most intimate of his domes-
tic relations, Yet desired above all things to
found a home. To that end he built the
handsome and convenient Queen Anne house
within half-minute's walk of High street,
Kensington, close to the old palace. There,
surrounded by friends, the choicest spirits Of
his age, he lived and wrote and died. Then
came the inevitable sale Of that still life
which the gentle spirit SO dearly priced, and
the red brick home, with its pleasant library
and billiard room, its glazed veranda and
cosy town garden, fell into the hands OF
strangers. Thsckeray had evidently set his
heart on this home, and intended that 1t
should be associated with his name. Re-
minded by friend of the line In Horace
about those who, oblivious Of their sepul
cheers, build themselves houses, he retorted
that he was not so forgetful, rs the house he
had built would always be valuable to his
posterity. Yet the friend was right after all.
Scarcely week age the place was empty
though 1t had found another tenaat--and the
people In charge and the policeman on the
beat, when questioned, confessed that they
had never heard the name of Thackeray, or
knew that such an author had at any time
existed.

United States Minister to Germany.

Ex-senator Aaron A. Sargent Is seen in
"the fierce light that beats upon" q new
Office holder. President Arthur called to
his councils a man whose "record" Is as
sailed without gloves, while, for the time,
his virtues seem written In water. Mr.. Sar-
gent is accused Of supporting Mormon polyg-
amy on the ground of its being a religious
institution, and of opposing Mr.. Poland's
bill giving plural wives the right to sue for
divorce and to divide the property of the
husband, and which also sought TO break up
the Mormon law which gave women of Utah
the right 10 vote. This law as it stood per-
pctuated Mormon institutions, rs the hus-
bands could coerce their plural wives TO
vote as they desired. He is also accused Of
advocating railway monopoly against the in
terests Of his former constituents. However
these things may be his life Is, regarded as a
whole, an instructive instance of exemplary
progress.
Mr.. Sargent Is native of Massachusetts,,
born at Newburyport, September IS, 1927.
He began his working life in the printing
office, and In due time graduated TO the ed
itor's desk. When, in 1s49, CALIFORNIA;
golden gates were thrown open to the enter
prising of all the world, young Sargent NIL
grated thither. He quietly settled down to
the reading of law, and in 1854 was admitted
to the bar, and in 1856 aud 1856 was elected
district attorney of Nevada county In his
adopted State. He served as Representative
at Washington from July A, 1861, to March
3, 1858; and was twice afterward elected to
the same distinction, serving in the Forty
first and Fsrty-secsnd Congress. His third
term as Representative expired March 8,
1878. The day following he took his seat as
United States Senator from California. Mr..
Sargent is an earnest Republican and man
Of unquestioned capacity.
The German press is reported indisposed
toward him, but II, as we believe, he shall
prove an acceptable and efficient representa-
tive, 1t will not be the first instance where a
man has been misjudged from the intemper-
ate and unjust denunciation Of Political
enemies.

Two Elopements.


The death, scarcely noticed, occurred In
England lately of lady who was in her day
the niae-days' talk of London, and, indeed,
Of the country at large. A former Marquis
Of Londonderry married secondly, late In
life, great heiress Of despotic disposition,
who became prominent leader In the fash
ionabls world Of London, and dispensed a
magnificent hospitality-albeit her husband
became 80 desperately involved that her
splendid mansion, Holdernesse House, was
noteriously the scene Of the sheriff's officers
being present in livery at grand entertain
ment. Der eldest daughter married Duke,
another married an Earl, and the third, Lady
Adelaide, was doubtless destined by her
mother to form an equally desirable match
frsm managing mammals point of view but
Lady Londonderry counted without her
daughter. One day fashionable London
was electrified by the news that Lady AIDE
laide Vane had disappeared, and that her
brothers tutor, Mr.. Law, was also missing.
This was not long after the elopement of the
famous Lady Jerseys daughter ~ith Cap
tain of Dragons, son Of . lawyer, had
brought CONSERVATION on society" the
unisn Of this pair ut Gretna Green being the
last Of any note welded by the famous black
smith. The story went that ut the time
Lady Londonderry, rival grande dame, was
the first to condole with "peor, dear Lady
jersey" and that en- repanche Lady Jersey
lost no time in returning the compliment
when the dreadful catastrophe at Holder
nesse House became known. It may be
added that both Of these marriages turned
out quite as we'll as those more formally
made. Captain Ibbetson had avery respec-
table career In the army, and Mr. Law be-
came an estimable clergyman, 50 that 1t was
case In both instances of sails well that
ends WE'LL" 1t was perfectly understood
that If these ladies had not helped themselves
to husbands they would have had no chance
whatever of those Of their ewn choosing un-
less they had entirely fallen In with the
views of mamma.

A Boys Heroism.

During the cross-examination of John FL.
Leeds before railroad committee in New
Haven last week, the interesting fact was
brought to light that Mr.. Leeds had life
pass over the road given him for courage
Gus deed performed ever thirty-three years
ago. On the evening Of June "a, 1S49, Leeds
was watering his fathers cattle in brook
near the railroad. While there he heard the
puff of an engine behind the hills, and, boy
like, sat on the fence to wait for 1t 60 by.
Presently he heard train coming from the
opposite direction. 1t was q single track
road, and he saw at once there wculd be q
collision unless prevented. Without an in
stant's hesitation he bounded on to the track,
cap in hand, In front of the coming locome-
tive. He stood his ground until the engine
was almost on him, aud he lost part of his
jacket in jumping aside. The engineer un-
derstood bis meaning and stepped the train.
The two trains were brought to halt within
about two rods of each ether. The Compa-
ny presented Leeds with a handsome silver
cup, life-pass and complimentary letter.
When young Leeds was ready to leave the
farm the Directors gladly engaged him, and
the simple occurrence of that June evening
near his country home has had much to do
with directing the course of one of the most
successful men of the State.

% The power of observation is given to each
person alike; but, although they are so
gifted, many 90 through life seeing compare
lively little of what lies before them. The
world Ii full Of beauty, and II Is also full OF
suffering; their vision is blind to both facts
alike. Having eyes they see not, and never
know how much they have lost Of enjoy
ment, or the pleasure there Is In alleviatins
the sorrows Of others. An observing person
will oftcntimes find that which, to the cas-
ual passer-by, seems TO be naught, yet
proves TO be OF great value when keen eyes
fall upon IL. The rich carburst ores In the
mountains OF Colorado were In plain sight
OF all that passed that way, and thousands
were looking for something else or nothing
nj all, and did not see them. Some man
came along who used his eyes in the way
they were intended, by looking closely at
what was before him; and, behold the
riches of the earth were his. He also found
that there were plenty of men willing to
help him In claiming the silver. Thus, he
not only benefited himself, but others, also,
with his sharp eyes. Some persons will plod
along through life, and see literally nothing,
while others, walking In the same path, will
follow after with an ever on the lockout for
what might happen to be Of use to them, and
be rewarded for their patience. The first
will wsnder why he did not see and i'm
prove the chance and mourn because he Is
always 80 unlucky. IL Is easy to place the
responsibility on the word "unlucky," and
IL sometimes gets blamed for what Is gener-
ally the persons own fault.
But mems foresight Is often very faulty,
and many poor msral Is terribly
deceived simply because he Gid not use his
eyesight. This false word is full Of deceit
and shame TO catch the unwary when they
are least expecting 1t. IL gives intense sat
isfaction 10 some people TO know that they
have been able 10 gain an advantage over
some one else less sharp-sighted than them
selves. A keen eye, while 1t gives pleasure
to lis possessor by enabling him to see much
that would otherwise be hidden, also shows
him much Of misery and suffering. Often
there lies beneath the smiling countenance,
which Is worn as mask, heart filled with
pain and anguish, heart we'll nigh broken
with Its burden Of sorrow, aching for word
Of sympathy to be spoken to give 1t rest, but
which never comes. Enjoyment and sorrow,
pain and pleasure, walk hand In hand, and
those who can aid the enc and lessen the
other, are TO be envied, for they haye their
reward; and those who use a keen eye to
add to the knowledge sf others, feel graft
fcation which but few understand.

The Original Gerrymander.



Now that half dozen State Legislatures
are showing violent partisanship in reorgan-
izing congressional districts 1t Is interesting
to recall the history of "eerrymandering." 1t
began In Massachusetts, and this was the
way of it: In 1871, when party feeling ran
high and voters in the State were about
evenly divided, the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
for the first time In q number Of years elect
ed the Governor and = majority, of both
branches of the General Court and, to pre-
serve their power, they rearranged the Sena-
torial districts and made them Of irregular
shape SO as to give themselves a majority in
as many Is possible. Nothing Of the kind
had ever been done before, the move excited
bitter opposition among the Federalists, and
Elbrigde Gerry, then Governor and for years
leading Democrat, came In for . great
share of the denunciation. One district was
made of . line of towns on the westerly and
northerly sides of Essex county, forming
something like an irregular letter T. The
Boston Centinel was the leading Federalist
paper and Russell, Its editor, to show plainly
what was being done, took = map of the
county, colored the towns on 1t included in
the peculiar district and hung 1t up in bis Of
fee. One day Gilbert Stuart happened to
see it and, saying that 1t resembled some
monstrous animal, took q pencil and, with q
few strokes, indicated upon it head, wings
and claws, SO that the new district looked
like some strange dragon. "There," said
he, "that will do for salamander." "Sala-
mander!" exclaimed Russell, "call It a Ger
rymander!" And 30 the new proceeding
found name. This was In the spring Of
1912, and at the election Of that year 1t ap-
peared that the first gerrymandering was eff
fectually done, for, although the Federalists
elected their Governor, they get eleven Of
the ferty Senators, and this while they had
handsome majority for their State ticket and
actually cast 1900 more votes for Senators
than did their opponents who elected so
large . majority Of them. This result, how
ever, made q great uproar, and the gerry
Wandering was not allowed to stand.
Webster's Dictionary says it Is now known
that Governor Gerry was opposed to the &C
ton taken. The first letter of the word has
the sound Of "g" In "get."

Man loves the mysterious. A cloudless
sky and fuil-blswn rose lsaye him un-
moved; but the violet which hides It's blush
Ing beauties behind the bush, and the moon
when emerging from behind cloud, are to
him sources Of inspiration and Of pleasure.
Medesty is TO merit what shade Is to paint
ing-it gives boldness and prominence.
Nothing adds moro to female beauty than
modesty. II sheds around the countenance
halo Of light which Is borrowed from vir-
tue. Bstanists have given the rosy hue
which tinges the cup Of the white roses the
name Of the "maiden blush" This pure and
delicate hue 10 the only paint Christian vir-
tue should use. IL Ii the richest ornament.
A woman without modesty is like faded
flower dlifusing an nnwhoiesome odor, which
the prudent gardener will throw from him.
Her destiny Is melancholy, for 1t terminates
In shame and repentance. Beauty passes
like the flower Of the Abe, which blooms
and dies In few hours; but modesty gives
the female charms which supply the place Of
the transitory freshness Of youth.
