Hon. JEREMIAH S. BLAGK, better
known as Judge Black, died at his res
idence in York, this State, on Sunday
morning last, in the 74th year of his
age. He was regarded as one Of the
very leading lawyers of the Nation. Of
varied learning, great ability and won
derful energy, there was no citizen in
the country attracted more attention.
He was besides a man of the most
positive personal character and honest
and pure in life AS lawyer be was
engaged in all the great cases and
questions of the day. AS late as the
first Of this month we published an
opinion of his in case In this county,
which is the last case we have noticed
anything public from him. Just now
the country was looking for answer
from him to JEFF Davis recent sophistry,
which undoubtedly would have come
had he lived. His death is sincerely
regretted by all parties and by all
people.
HIS DYING PRAYER.
Shortly before Judge Black died he
said to his wife, "How can l fear to
cross the dark river when my Father
waits for me on the other Shore" and
added, "Would were as comfortable
about all l leave behind unfinished in
this world" and then he breathed the
following earnest prayer: "Oh, Thou
beloved and most merciful Heavenly
Father, from whom / had my being
and in whom / have ever trusted, if it
be Thy will grant that my suffering
end and that l speedily be called home
to Thee. And oh, my God, bless and
comfort thee, my Mary"

THE Philadelphia Telegraph says ::
Legislative deserters cannot be ar

but they should remember that the
people will deal severely with them
next year and afterwards when they
come up for reelection. 1t is their i'm
perative duty to answer every roll-call,
and the absentees will be unable to
justify themselves. They are sworn
to obey the laws, and while the Leg
islature is in session they cannot shirk
it's responsibilities without personal
dishonor.n

GOVERNOR BUTLER puts the argu-

bonds in nutshell "The bonds, be-

simply a bet on that success between

very large discount. The holder who
bet on that success has lost"

Sketch of I. Noted Borderer

Col. Jack" Hayes, we'll known as a
fighter during the Mexican war, and
conspicuous in the early history of Cali
fornia, died on Saturday at Oakland,
Cal. Col. Hayes commanded a company
ofTexan Rifle Rangers during the war
of that state for independence, and he
served, with his mountain riflemen, as
an auxiliary to the American forces du-'
ring the Mexican war. His bravery made
him the terror of the Rio Grande. His
exploits have been chronicled in many
forms under the name of Texas Jack"
He was once captured and taken to Cas-
tie Perote, near Monterey, whence he
escaped by digging through the walls,
and made his way back to the American
lines. AS soon as the war was over he
went to California, and was anIindepend-
ent candidate fer sheriffat San Francisco
at the first country election in 1850. Three
candidates were in the field, but the
daring record of "Texas Jack" carried
HIM to the front. During the height of
the Hayes boom, the renowned rifle
ranger suddenly Appeared, in full rig,
but bareheaded, and mounted on fiery
black charger. Darling into the midst
of the excited crowd, he exhibited sun
dry splendid and wonderful feats of
Workmanship, restraining his noble
steed, but prancing, wildly about, while
trumpets b1ared and cannon Numbered.
This characteristic stroke turned the
scale in his favor, and he was elected by
large majority. As sheriff he attempt
ed to dispense the Vigilance committee.
but failed, and fell into disfsvor. Oflate
years he had lived in retirement at Oak
and. eniOyjng q small income.

"MOse'' the BOWery Boy.

Some thirty years ago great drama
tic hit was made by Frank Chanfrau in
the character of Nose, the original of
which was buried in New York Monday.
The type has entirely disappeared, and
the younger men of to-day can form no
conception Of it. In the days of hand
fire engines, "the machine" was the idol
of a class of men who were noted for
their courage, simple heartedness, vul-
garity, and swagger. The swagger of
Nose was peculiar, and when he disap-
peared it passed away. We have before
us picture Of this character. who was
once of more importance in New York
than a president. He has tall "plug"
hat, red shirt, black trousers rolled in
broad rolls over the boots, an overcoat
under his arms, and a cigar in his fin
gers. His face is smooth shaven, hair
long, with lock rolled IN front of each
ear. His chin is pushed forward-and
this gives an indescribable air of impu-
dence to the whole personality, and is
the leading popularity of Nose. It; is
told of Thackeray that he was particu-
larly eager to converse with Nose when
he visited New York, and when one of
the class was pointed out to him, he
asked a friend: "Can | speak to him;
and what shall saw" ooh, anything"
said his friend. TASK him your way;
he is affable enough" And the tall
Thackeray walked uo to the rather
short, red-shirted American and said,
after some hesitation: II want to 20 to
the Bowery." Looking up at the speak
er, Nose pushed his chin forward and
amiably answered: "Well,. ye can go,
sonny, eff ye don't stay long," 1t is diff
cult to understand, from reading the
lines OF Mr.. Chanfraus play, now this
character should have made such hit
on the stage, but it is fact that for
many months Mr.. Chanfrau played the
part three times night-at two New
York theaters and at Newark. Mr..
Chanfrau is said to have studied the
character of his brother, who was bur-
led Monday, and who wss the ideal
fireman. in the old days.
