siOyernOr Alexander II. Stephens.

The death at Atlanta, Ga, of Governor
Alexander H. Stephens, resulted from gen
eral collapse of the system. For fifty years
Alexander Hamilton Stephens has been
prominently identified with American poll
tics. Born in Taliaferro county, Ga, in
1912, he began the study of law, and after
graduating at the University of Georgia was
admitted to the bar. He was elected to the
State assembly for five terms, to the State
senate for one term. and III 1913 to the Wing
Congress by large majority. In 1S47 he
submitted resolutions in relation to the
Mexican war, which asterward formed the
platform of the Wing party. When the
Wing party went to pieces he joined the
Democratic forces. He sustained Douglas in
the campaign OF 1860, and denounced
those who advocated a dissolution of
the Union in the case of Lincoln's election.
He made his famous speech against seces-
sion before the legislature of his State in the
same year, bat nevertheless he was elected
to the secession convention, where he again
spoke and voted against the secession ordin-
ance. He was a member of the Southern
congress and WAS elected vice-president of
the Confederacy. On February 3, 1865, he
held an informal conference on a steiner
Seward, but it came to naught.
When Lee surrendered to Grant
and the struggle was practically at an end,
Mr.. Stephens retired - his home at Craw-
| fordvile, GA. where. on May II, 1860. he
was arrested and sent 10 Fort Warren, in
Boston harbor. He was released on parole
| i'll October of the same year. In speech
before the legislature of Georgia, on Feb
ruary 90, 1866, he favored the restoration
! policy of Johnson, and was elected to the
/ United States Senate, but the Senate de-
| clared that Georgia hld not complied with
/ the conditions of reconstruction, and he
was refused his seat. In 1872 and 1874 he
was elected to Congress almost without op-
position. and served until he was elected
/ governor of Georgia in the last campaign.
/ He was one of the features of the
House, although he seldom made a speech.
| His appearance in those days was thus de-
scribed by Washington correspondent
"The most remarkable man, in some re-
spects. i'll the House of Representatives is
Alexander ii. Stephens. Almost every visi-
. tor at the capitol wants to see the Georgia
. member and his seat is the target for more
eyes from the galleries than that of any
other member. He Is a mere human wreck

tive dimensions at that. The weight OF this
poor wreck is said to be eighty five poun,i-,
including all his wrappings. He Is III

short time only, ana on other days dur

hours with his cloak over his shoulders, his
little velvet smoking cap on his head, and his

apparently as bright as ever. His deeply

A writer in the Boston Herald
claims that the star of Bethleh nm will
re-appear in 1887. The general be-
lief is that this star is the one which
blazed out in the constellation of Cas-
siopeia in the time OF Tycho Brahe in
1872. This remarkable star reached
the brilliancy of Jupiter, and then
slowly faded to invisibility. Its re-
appearance is merely conjectured. The
character of the forces ut work to pro-
duce this remarkable display are a
mystery. The spectroscope, had it
been invented at the time, might have
thrown some light on the matter. 1t
is impossible to estimate the fo.ces re,
quired to lake such light at the dis
lance of the fixed stars.-RooheSter
