Death of Rev. Charles j. Alexander.


Rev. Charles j. Alexander, son of Mr..
and Mrs. Lawrence Alexander, of this
city, passed away on Monday evening,
the 18th instant, at half-past 10 o'clock,
after lingering illness, which he bore
with Christian resignation and fOTti-
tude. Deceased completed his 32d year
on last April 14th, and was born at old
Lexington, two miles north of Alliance,
in this county, where his parents re-
sided for some years. Some years ago
while living South he was attacked with
malaria, and fall while descending an
out door church stairway at slippery
time injured his spine, and gave him
much trouble. Last year he took a trip
to Europe, hoping to receive benefit, but
his sOjourn in Italy and other points did
him no good, and he returned after an
absence of seven months. After a short
stay at New York he came home about
three months ago, and continued to re-
ceive the anxious and fond attentions of
parents, sisters and brother, until the
light went out In peace and harmony.
The constant fever, his spinal trouble,
and other causes resulted in that nervous
exhaustion under which he gradually
sank.
In 1868 deceased became neOphyte in
the PassiOnist order of the Roman Cath
olic Church, and after years of study at
tanned to good position in the brother
hood. He engaged ardently in mission
ary work, which Is the object of the
order, and he bid fair to become distin-
guished as pulpit orator. His religious
name was Father Augustine. His re-
mains will be taken to Pittsburgh this
afternoon for interment in the cemetery
of the order, to which he was devOtedly
attached. In fact he was ever the duti-
full son of his parents and of his church.
Services will be had at st. Johns
Church, in this place, at 10 o'clock this
forenoon. REQUIESCAT IN PACE.

Dorsey in that eampaign:

everything in that campaign. Dorsey
and New were on the ground, but their
work really amounted to little, although
they have been superbly rewarded fol
the work that they did. The one trusted
lieutenant of Stephen Dorsey was Geo
G. Gorham. He was cOOl-headed and ef
fieient. Swain was also there during
almost all Of my stay as the personal
representative Of Garfield. My particu
lar and immediate functions were the
organization and control of the parties
of strikers, repeaters and rOughs brought
to Indianapolis from the East and dis
tributed in small gangs to differen
points in the state. Their chief depen
dence was put on greenbacks, not OI
colonists and repeaters.

Save the Old Paper,

Never throw away old paper. If you
have no wish to sell it, use it in the
touse. Some housekeepers prefer it to
cloth for cleaning many articles of fur
ntUrc,
For instance, volume written by n
lady says: After stove has been
blackenad. it can be kept looking very
well for long time by rubbing it with
paper every morning. Rubbing with
paper is a much nicer way of keeping
tea-kettle, cottee-pot and teapot bright
and clean than the old way of washing
them in suds Rubbing with paper is
also the best way of polishing knives,
tinware and spoons; they shine like new
silver
For polishing mirrors, windows,
lamp chimneys, etc, paper is better
than dry cloth. Preserves and pickles
keep much better if brown paper in
stead of cloth is tied over the jar
Canned fruit is not so apt to mould if a
piece Of writing paper, cut to tit the
can, is laid directly on the fruit Paper
is much better to put under carpet
than straw. 1t is warmer, thinner, and
makes less noise when one walks over

Junius Brutus Booth.

In his personal habits Junius Brutus
Booth was what might be called a most
correct man. Wine he very rarely par
took Of, but he was an inveterate smok-
er, and this love of the nicotine weed
may have had something to do with the
disease of which he died, In personal
appearance Mr.. Booth was an eminent
" handsome man. He was above the
average height, with full but by no
means, heavy form. His face was q
clear cut oval, with a fine speaking eye;
and of late years he grew to resemble
his famous father in facial expression
more than either Of his living brothers
do. He was an honorable and upright
man in all his business relations, and
his loss will be greatly deplored. His
fathers prediction that he IBID fair to
become good scholar was carried
out in great degree, for Mr.. Booth
read the best books, and had not only
the happy faculty of retaining what he
read. but of using it to the best adj
vantage. Thus he was delightful con-
versationalist, and his acquaintanceship
was much sought after He was very
warm in his friendships. and hence one
of the warmest OF friends.
