stances with four small children dependent on her
She held the Office eight years. during which time
Mr. Tubbs was Assistant Postmaster and had the

obtained the place for himsefby the most dscredit
able means After that had been done, proceedings
were begun against Tubbs for an accounting. mo
writ, which was prepared by Mayor Waller now
Governor, should have been drawn Tor criminal
proceeding against Tubbs. The case was tred ny
Chief-Justce Park as referee. In hls answer iuppS
submitted a statement accounting for all the funds
which had come into his hands, and showing an ap-
pareut balance of about 81, 900 due him from Mrs.
Mower. He also brought in his books and swore to
their correctness. After q searching examination
ChiefJustice Park found Judgment against

issued and returned unsatisfed. On my ap-
plication a criminal suit then begun

that she was willing to accept almost any oher OF

sol attended The Euneral ana paid
the following tribute to bis dead
friend:
Again we are face to face with
the great mystery that slroads the
warld We question. hut there is
ne reply. Ont on the wide waste
of seas there drifts mo spar. Over
the desert of death the sphinx
gazes forever, but never speaks.
Id the very May of life another
heart has ceased to beat; Night
has fallen at noon, but he lived, he
loved. he was loved. Wife and
children pressed their kisses on his
lips. This is enough. The longest
life contains no more This fills the
vase of joy He who lies here
clothed with the perfect peace of
death, was a kind and loving bus
band and good father. A generous
neighbor, and an honest man, and
these words build "A monument 81
glory above the humbIest grave.
He was always a child, sincere,
frank, and as full of hope as spring
He divided all time into to-day and
Tomorrow. Tomorrow was with
out cloud, and of tomorrow he
borrowed sunshine for TO day. He
was my friend; be will remain so.
The living oft become estranged,
the dead are true.
