COL. O'FERR1LL SEATED.

The long delayed seating Of Chas. T.
O'Ferrall in the U. S. House OF Represen-
tativss, to which he was elected in
November 1888, was telegraphed to this
city On Monday evening, and was hailed
with delight by the political friends Of that
gallant gentleman. Gallant is a word
well descriptive of him. He made gal
liant fight in his congressional district,
the old Seventh, for the seat, and against
what was thought at that time, dark
prospect. Since the election he has made
IL gallant and determined fight for justice
and after much delay obtained it. He no
longer belongs to the Augusta district,
but we feel the same interest in him as
before, and by his course in congress he
will fully vindicate that preference. His
new constituents will never find truer
Democrat to represent them than Charles
T. O'Ferrall.

years ago caused by a telegram with the
name of Mr.. Keene forged, ordering the
sale of 3,OOO,O 900 bushels at Chicago, is
well remembered. BounteOus crops, how
ever, were too much for his corner" and
it is supposed that be sank millions in tho
game, which, if successful, would have
netted almost incalcaable profit. So
heavy were his losses believed to be that
1t was reported on Change that he was
unable to meet his obligations.
It was about this time-1n the spring of
lS7S-that be came to the front as an
owner of race horses and sent number of
racers to England. That summer he also
bought the elegant Matthews Villa at
Newport, which was burned to the ground
on a New Years day. His judgment in
turf matters became apparent when Book
maker won the Granny stakes and Fox
hall the Bradford and Nursery stakes.
Mr.. Keene is, in every sense of the
word, man of the world. His home is
at Newport, where his family reside, while
he makes his home IN this city, residing
in a richly furnished fiat, with a sideboard
we'll stocked with the choicest vintage
and the most expensive cigars. Here he
whiles away the evenings with congenial
friends, and the rafting of ivory chips
gives color to the story on the streets that
Keene is an expert poker player. Mr.,
Keene's apartments are models of artistic
tinish. The walls are deliberately frescoed,
expensive oil paintings adorn the walls.
and exquisite statuary and bric-a- brac fill
every available inch of space. The now
exhausted and defeated speculator appears
nightly to his guests in richly embroid-
cred smoking jacket and cap. and his
slippers sparkle with gold lace and steel
trimmings.
When at business, at the cafes or at the
Windsor Hotel, where brokers congregate,
Mr.. Keene dresses plainly land the absence
of diamonds and snowy jewelry gives him
an air of a we'll TODD, but decidedly home
like merchant. He is favorite among
the ladies', but he seldom appears in public
with them. He occupies box at the
opera frequently. visits Harrigan & Hart
often, but as rule, with the exception of
short visit to Delmoaico's or The Hoff-
man House for meals, he is to be found at
MS apartments.
NEW YORK. May 2i-Mr. Aeepe's en-
barrassment continues to be the topic of

either, for the matter Of that. There are
some men totally untitled by temperament
to take more active part than merely to
cast their vote, but who unfortunately
dive into an election as into pleasure
bath and come out spluttering with pain
and anger when they find that the water
is hot. You must all keep cool heads; a
pound of ice during an election is worth
ton of it after the election is over.
I was telling you lately about some of
the arrangements at funerals which I took
to DO the refinement of cruelty. [ should
like, with your permission. to add another
to the list and that is-the funeral sermon.
1 know that there ara different sorts Of
such sermons, but will take what are
called the best of them, the comforting"
sermons. l hold that there are none that
deserve the name. No man or woman
can sit in public assemblage with their
own lying dead a few feet away, and be
comforted by anything frem mortal lips.
In fact, the very presence of the public is

sod we would rather be alone with Them
With this feeling, how distressing is the flu
neral sermon of no matter what character.
There can be but one excuse for funeral
sermon and that is in the case of public
men. They belong to the world, but our
dead are our OWn [ think many of US
submit TO the distressing iEfiction be-
cause of its semi-religious character, and
because to forbid it would seem eccentric,
or perhaps disrespectful to the pastor. AS
to the last, think I may say with safety,
that there is no more disagreeabe or
brittle task to the generality Of minis
tiers than a funeral sermon, or one they
would more Willingly forego. They would
gladly use, in preference, the simple and
convenient burial service which the Meth
odists. Lutheran, and Episcopal Churches
use, and which far exceed in fitness any
sermon that can be preached. Why not
emancipate ourselves from the slavery of
cruel custom. even at the risk of being
called eccentric

Two failures startled Wall street on
Tuesday. The Marine Bank of which
J. d. Fish is president, closed it's doors,
and the firm of Ward & Grant followed
suit Mr.. Fish the president of the
bank is also mem Der Of tie firm of Ward
& Grant, and the other members are Gen
eral U. S. Grant, U. S. Grant, jr., and
ferdinand Ward. Fish has been largely
engaged IN real estate speculation and
Ward has been also specializing heavily.
Both the bank and the firm are said to be
nearly ruined. Ward & Grants liabilities
are over $3.50 600, which will beggar every
member of the firm, except General Grant,
who has a trust fund" of $3.50 900 pre-
sented years ago by citizens of New York,
the principal of which cannot be touched
by himself or his creditors.

Speaking of self-poise reminds me that
you are having very warm local election
in Stanton, and that self-control has
great value at such times. 1t is now, be-
lieve. nearly ten years ago, since there was
one of the most bitter municipal elections
here that l ever saw anywhere. The most
dignified and qaiet men were IN the field
firing out handbills every half-hour max
ing the most absurd charges against each
other and using the most childish epithets.
1 do not exaggeIate the number when l
say that to day, ten long years after, there
are twenty orthirty grown men who, after
schoolboy fashion, don't speak,, on &C.
count of that election. What has always
struck me as popularity in local cleo
lions is that while the most cordial re]a-
lions are maintained between the opposing
candidates, the cursing, fighting, denounc-
ing and the like, is done by their follow
ing. It has always locked to me as if this
state of affairs should be reversed. But,
as a matter of fact, there should be moth
ing of this sort by either. Elections are
the most tleetlng OF LnlDgS, except Tue
moons changes. and should be SO treated
as never to lead to i'll feeling, Of all the
candidates announced for office in this
city in the past ten years, can't recall
single instance where one was unified,
either mentally or morally, for the place
he aspired to, however much he might be
opposed for his political views. Why
should personal attacks be made on such
men? You must remember that your
town is small. thatyou are all too near
neighbors to quarrel, that you see each
other too often, and that in growing
town hearty cooperation of all its peo-
nile is too valuable to be rlsked on person
alities in petty campaigns, or great ones
