New YORK. Nov. y surrounded by

his household, Mr.. Thurlow Weed, the
veteran journalist and statesman. breath
ed his last at five minutes To nine this
morning. Although his death had been

blow of bereavement was severely felt

though he wished to take one of the chill

and the next moment he was dead.
The news Of Mr.. Weeds death was not
spread rapidly. as it happened at the hour
when business and professional men gen

at least three hours before the pubica>

a score of people had called to ask after

these were early visitors. very few knew
that the great journalist had passed away.
Neighbors learned it from the hanging
of Grape on the outer dor and the pres

those who called during the last moments
of his life. hoping to hear that he was
stronger again, were Messrs. Abraham

THE MAKING OF THE AMERICAN

Under the caption of New England III
the Colonial period = Mr.. John Fiske has
an able and entertaining article in g llar-
per" for December 1t presents with
marked clearness and force, TIE results
of wide and thorough historical research
one particular feature of it being that
which shows the sort of people who emil
grated from Engla TO New England.

Americans. all over the Union. who can
trace their decent to New EHland iami-
lies OF English origin. are
First: AS to the character and social
status of the leaders of the English emf
grafton to New England, Mr.. Fiske shows
that the claims of the - +. +. VS. of
Virginia aud OF the aristocratic families
of the South to superior origin are base
less. He says:
Some twenty years ago we used to hear
:. great deal about mudsills y and IF.
f. F's"-slang terms implying that the
people of Virginia. or of the Southern
States in general, were of more arisJo-
cratic origin than the people of New Eng
land, and were accordingly entitled TO
look down on them. - We are the gen
:lemen of this country" said Robert
Toombs in 1860. This assumption was
thoroughly baseIess. In point of fact
the English ancestors of the Washing
tons, the Randolphs, the Fairiaxes and
the Talbots were no higher in social po-
sitien than the families of the Winthrops,
the Dudleys, the Eatons and the Salton
stalls. The foremost families which came
to New England were of precisely the
same rank with the foremost families Of
Virginia, and in many instances there was
relationship between the former and the
latter. So far as mere names go, this is
we'll illustrated in Bishop Meade's list of
old Virginia families, in which occur such
names as Allen, Baldwin, Bradley, Bow
.doin, Darlington, Cooper, Dabney, Farley
Davenport Gibbon. Holmes, Hubbard,
Lee, Morton, Meade, Nelson. Newton,

PROF. GEO. = FISHER, of Yale, contrib
utes very able and interesting article to
the last North -4meyicaH, in the course Of
which he speaks of the reasons for the

is successful, mainly, from the convection
he inspires that he talks what he knows

what he sees himself; to take the peace
which consoles his own heart There is "a
living priesthood which will never pass
away so long as the instructive sense OF
religion, and the wants and aspirations
which it awakers. shall remain" And
another class OF effective preachers are
those whose gift is '.of more intellec-

says:

may be certain that no accumulation of

away with the charm of genuine elo-

of conviction, will not want for hearers.
