William Henry Hunt.
GarfEeld,s Secretary OF the Navy.
late American Minister to Rus
sia, who Died at st. Peters,
burg, February 25th.
Hon. William Henry Hunt, Amer

Hon William Henry Hunt, Amer
lean Minister to Russia, and ex Secre
tary OF the Navy, who died at ST
Petersburg Wednesday, Feb. 9th, was
born at Charleston. .. G., in 1924, the
youngest of five sons of an influential
lawyer and member of the State Leg
islature.
Mr.. Hunt was brought up in New
Orleans, to which city his father re-
moved Oh account of the Calhoun null
itication excitement, but attended
school at New Haven, Conn, and af
tended Yale College. He studied law
with an elder brother, and was admit
ted to the bar in 1874 in New Orleans
ut the age of twenty. He soon took
high rank as profound and eloquent
lawyer, and was for time professor
in New Orleans Law School. When
the war came on he refused TO join in
the secession movement, and was a
consistent Union man. When Admi
raj Farrgut entered New Orleans,
Judge Hunt invited the officers of the
navy to his house. He assisted in the
reconstruction of the State, and was
elected Attorney General On the Pack
ard ticket in 1876. In 1878 he was ap-
pointed Judge of the United States
Court of Claims. President Garfield
took him into his Cabinet as y repre-
sentative of the South, and when Pres
ident Arthur succeeded to the execu
tive office he appointed him Minister
to Russia.
In this capacity Mr.. Hunt performed
an admirable service to his country in
looking after the survivors of the Jean
nette Expedition, and assisting them
in making their way from remote
corner of the Russian Empire to st.
Petersburg, and thence to their homes.
Through his efforts the good offices of
the Russian government were secured
in bringing the remains of DeLong
and those who perished with him on
the Western coast of Siberia to the
Russian capitol.
/
His first wife was a daughter Of Com
modore Ridgley. His second wife was
a daughter-in-law of the late Bishop
HOPKINS, of Connecticut. In his per-
sonal characteristics Mr.. Hunt was one
of the most winning of men. Hand
some, learned and eloquent. he pos.
sessed all the graces of finished gen.
tIeman. He leaves a widow, one
daughter aud four sons.
The following was received by Pres
ideht Arthur the day after Mr.. Hunts
death

INGToN The Emperor instructs you
to express 10 the President aud to the
Government of the United States the
sincere regret which Mr.. Hunts death
causes His Majesty.

THE sutstance of the late decisit n
of the United States Supreme Court
affirming the constitutionality of the
legal tender act is, that the Federal
Government has power under the con-
stitution to provide for the issuing of
Treasury notes and to make them a
full legal tender for the payment of all
debts, public and private, and to re.is-
sue the same at will, and that this
power does not grow out of its being a
war measure merely, but that Congress
is to he the judge of the exigency that
demands its exercise.

After the workingman has his house

actions, he cannot live in it without
still further tariff. He must pay 45 per

Al per cent. on his window curtains !;
90 per cent. on the blankets for his bed
and 30 per cent. on his cheap furniture.
Our able contemporary, the Evening
Telegraph, assures the wOrkingman
that if he did not have to pay these
taxes to protected interests he would
have to compete with the cheap labor
which produces these necessary arti-
cles in other countries for less money.
But the wOIkingman pays these prices
and finds that no bar is set up against
cheap labor. He has to take the going
rate, and the rate depends in this coun-
Try, as in other countries, upon the
supply of men and women who desire
to work. The tariff puts no tax upon

ADDIE A. HATFIELD, Teacher.

A successful term of school closed
in district known as Augerburg, Fri
day, March 7th, with an entertainment
in the evening that did much credit to
teacher and scholars. The stage for
the occasion was curtained and fur
nished, including an organ, presided
over by Miss Ida English. The house
was packed with patrons and specta-
tors. who attentively listened to chill
dren of all ages, from six years to
young ladies and young men. The
school numbered thirty-five, and all
performed promptly and creditably;
yet | cannot forbear naming few of
the performers. Recitations by Misses
Hattie Mahan and Jessie Golden were
finely rendered. The " Gypsy's Warn

Frank Fox and Master Golden was

interspersed, and the last piece of mu-

into with zeal that plainly said, Our
Teacher has not labOred in vain. The
last scene was center table upon
