HIS END WAS PEACE.

Judge Jeremiah S. Black is dead.
He was one of the few remaining i'm
portant characters that figured in the
nations history from 1851 to and
through the days OF reconstruction,
and his opinions and counsel have
always received the most deferential
consideration. He was native OF
Pennsylvania, born January 10. 1910.
and to the day of his death. August
10. 1888. retained his citizenship Of
that State. He was appointed dis
trict judge in 1912. and in 1851 he
was elected judge of the supreme
court of Pehnsylvan In 1867 be
was appointed Attorney General Of
the United States by Buchanan. and
held the position until 1850. when be
became Secretary Of State. His son
is now the Lieutenant Governor Of
Pennsylvania. Judge Black was bit
terly opposed to the Abolition cause,
aud sank his fortune in aid of the
Confederacy. He was not an elo-
quent speaker, but carried conviction
in his arguments by his forcible and
precise statements, which were al
ways clothed in elegant language
He was consistent Christian, and
lived aud died triumphant in th'
faith. In the hour Of dissolution b

The N. O. correspondent of the

disguised at any and all opposition to
his favored candidate. Considering
the late lectures in that paper, about
trying to build up one candidate by
detracting from another. it is show
ing bad taste in publishing such bosh.

An intimate friend OF Mr.. John
Kelly's came down from Saratoga Q
few days ago, and had an extended
talk with him on political questions,
which are now growing in impor-
lance as the fall campaign arrives.
"Make no mistake about it" be said.
ssNew York is the pivotal State SO
far as 1884 is concerned, and the
State goes as New York City goes,
and the city depends on John Kelly.
Mr.. Kelly is really now master OF the
situation" will Kelly mite with
Tilden :" asked. "Mr. Kelly will
do whatever be can consistently do
in the interest of true harmony for
the benefit Of the party" was the
guarded reply. The true reason
why Kelly refused the Comptroller
ship Of this city is that he is so ac-
lively engaged in building that he
has no time to devote to the duties
Of an Office which is so exacting as
the Comptrollership. He<is putting
up one apartment house after the
other and bids fair to become one OF
| the largest real estate owners in the
city. It may not be generally known
by the way. that his fortune is esti-
mated at three millions.
The Prohibition people are maxi
ing . strong canvass in Missouri. but
notwithstanding this. the superior
organization OF the Democrats, and
the natural aversion Of all thinking
people to subject themselves to auto
cratic rule in matter which after
all is one Of individual conscience.

Quaint and Delightful santa Barbara.

[''Ruhamah" in Globe-Democratl
Two ranges of low-lying hills run
down from the mountains to the sea
and hold the pretty town in their shell
tering embrace, and the houses wander
off and hide themselves behind strange
shrubs, tropical trees and plants and
vines in the most delightful manner.
The genius of eternal rest has taken the
place under her special care, and since
the day when tie old Franciscans
landed here no one has ever been
in hurry. That ''raw haste,
half-sister to delay" has never
found an abiding place in Santa Bar
bara, and the repose and calm Of the
old Spanish days has managed to tide
over and keep its impress upon the
later settlers. Every one apparently
leads happy, out-of-door life. and fol-
lowing the traditions of the old cabal-
leros no one walks. Old men, young
men and small children take to the sad

STYLE, pretense and ostentatious liv-
ing have not yet cast their blight on

there prevails something of that 'plain
living and high thinking" that dis
tinguishes the cultured people of some
New England towns. The majority Of
the residents have moved here for the
healtl. of some member of the r families
and settle down TO take their sunshine
and their pleasures quietly. The ma

have come from New England and the
country adjacent to Philadelphia. No

something to be thankful tor that the
