sECRETARY FOLGER DEAD.

We are called upon again this week
to record the death of another famous
public man, one who has been d promi-
nent figure in politics since the birth of
the republican party in New York in
1S56-Charles James Folger, secre-
tary Of the United States treasury,
who died at his home in Geneva, N. Y,
on Thursday last, aged sixty-six years,
four months and nineteen days.
Although suffering severely for some
time past with a complication of dis
eases, it was not till August Goth that
the secretary retired to the seclusion of
his home, and even then, so well did
be endure his malady, but a single
relative witnessed his demise. The
remains will be inferred in the ceme-
terry at Geneva, by the side Of his wife,
who died seven years previous,
MI. Folger was born at Nantucket,
Mass, April 10, 1918, and lived there
until 1880, when his parents removed
to Geneva, N. T., which he made his
home for the rest of his life. After
completing his college course he
studied law, and was admitted to the
bar in 1899. In 1874 he was appoint
ed judge of the court of common pleas.
dn 1851 he was chosen county Judge
OF Ontario county az a democrat, and
held the Office four years. The repub-
hcan party was formed' in the state in
1856, and Judge Folger went over to
the new organization in company with
many other prominent democrats.
Five years later, in 1861, he was elect
eel state senator from the Ontario
Seneca district, which he represented
continuously for eight years, In 1869
President Grant appointed him assist
ant United States treasurer for New
York city. In 1870 he was elected
Judge Of the court Of appeals 1.-THE
highest court in the state Of New
York;, and on the death OF Chief
Judge Church, in 1880, he was APP
pointed to fill the vacancy, and in the
following November was elected to tlas
place for the full term Of fourteen
years. In November, 1881, he resign
ed his seat on che bench TO accept the
position Of secretary of the treasury,
which was, rendered to him by Presi-
dent Arthur. Judge Folger was Roscoe
Conkling's nominee for that position
when President Garfield selected his
cabinet, and the latters failure to
make the nomination was the chief
cause Of Qonkling's subsequent hos
tility In 1882 he was nominated by
the republicans for governor Of the
state Of New York, but was defeated
by the largest majority (nearly 2OO,-
,00o) ever cast against a candidate in
any of the United States. He never
recovered from this defeat and appear
ed ever afterf:a broken-hearted man.

ST.. john, the prohibition candidate
for president, bids fair, after all, to cut
quite d conspicuous figure during the
present campaign; in that he will
ALLEVIATE to himself many republican
voters who dislike their party's action,
or rather inaction in regard to the
liquor question. In the pivotal state
of New York republican voters are be-
coming alarmed at the prospects for a
large prohibition vote, while in Miehi
gan and Ohio many republicans will
vote for st. John just to teach their
party a lesson. The simple truth Of
the matter is, the republican party has
straddled the liquor question the same
as the democrats have the tariff, and
half measures please neither side.

sequence, the sun crosses the equator
each time little farther west than the
point where il crossed the last time pre-
ceding, and where il would have crossed
on its return if there we're no disturb
ing force. Originally it was said that
the equinoctial point, or place of cross
ing, went .orwdrl to meet the san. and
hence this phenoinenen vas called the
procession of the equinoxes. But,
from the fact that the equinoctial point
really falls backwards on the celestial
equator, toward the west, each time
about 80 seconds of degree, it is now
very frequently termed the recession OF
the equinoxes. In consequence of this
recession the seasons begin a little
earlier each year, and it Is estimated
that in 1880 years they will be re-
versed, our summer occurring when the
sun is in the constellation that he now
traverses in winter time. 1t requires
about 20, 900 years for the sun to COM
plete one circuit of procession of the
euuinoXes

Chronic Lassitude.

There are certain characteristics con-
nected with q lazy man which are ada
mirable. They excite In the twanging,
jingling breasts Of the nervously fidgety
a feeling which borders on respect and
Is akin to awe. Your double-geared,
fdgety man will spin all day like top
and run down in the cool of the evening
on the identical spot on which he started
off after breakfast. The man suffering
from chronic lassitude will keep still,
keep cool, keep in the shade, put in a
full days work resting himself, and
arrive on time at shutdown, cool, calm,
and collected, without having once
sweat under the collar or laid hair.
The professional lazy man seems to eat,
drink, and sleep with as much gusto as
his fidgety brother with the high-pres-
sure anatomy and patent double-cylm-
der, fast. perfecting hyg enic apparatus,
who gets hot in the box, and wears and
grinds and cuts his life away like q
piece of misft machinery. The fact Of
the business is, the man of hustle wears
his life away for the want of the oil of
rest The lazy man just soaks along
like q handful of cotton waste in the
oil cup OF box-car axle.-ScientUic

Why Are Butchers Fat /!

Il give it up" said a jolly big butcher
when asked if he could give any reason
why so many butchers were fat. Its
q butchers misfortune that he is fat.
suppose one reason we are so fat is be
cause We eat enough, keep pretty reg
ular and get up early in the morning.
There's something queer about it how
SO many butchers are fat, but if we stay
in the business any little time and have
any constitution at all to build upon,
we invariably become busters"
you butchers are all q Jolly, good
natured class; hasn't that got some
thing to do with it?"
YES" said the butcher, I'VE always
look on the bright side of life and try
to keep about even-tempered. / don't
think the business has anything to do
with it. n it Is mans nature to be
fat he will flesh up, no matter in what
business he may be engaged. While a
very large number of the men about
here who actually handle the meat are
corpulent, still there are some skinny
fellows here who if they stayed here
forever wouldn't get fat The business
is healthy; the men who are in it were
healthy before they went into it, and of
course as a natural consequence they
flesh up wonderfully. We don't have
anything to think about or trouble our
heads about, and 1 guess that's the
principal reason.
The reporter went along little
further and soon encountered tall
butcher, fully six feet and of huge pro-
portions.
In reply to interrogations, he said /:
"They come here" said he, strong,
rugged, healthy young men, and al
though their work is laborious it is not
exhausting like other kinds of labor.
To be sure they have to do some heavy
lifting, but, then, they have consider
able time between acts to rest. They,
as a rule, take pretty good care of them
selves, and then, notice that they al
ways take home the best pieces of beef.
No chucks in theirs In word. good
living and a good constit ii make the
butchers fat. "--BOStOR 10 g.

Fannie Kemble in Boston.

I'VE saved all our money to buy
tickets. l was in the law school, and
some of my friends sold everything
they could lay hands on-books, cloth
ing or whatever came first-to raise
funds. Then we walked in from
Cambridge; we could not afford to ride
when tickets to see Fannie Kemble
were TO be bought. / went nineteen
nights running to see her-Sundays, of
course, excepted. After the play we
used to assemble at the rear entrance
to the fremont theater to see her come
out. She would be so muffied up that
we could not even see her figure, but
we used to find great satisfaction in
seeing her walk by on the arm of her
escort up &c the fremont house. Then
we would give three student cheers for
her and walk out to Cambridge to bed.
Such audiences as she had, tool II

to be so enthusiastic that he'd talk

ButtOned Into Fame.

The Post, of Berlin, says that Bis
marck's political career grew from a
very trihing circumstance. 1t was In
August of 1851 that he was intrusted
with the legation at Frankfort. Prince
Guillaume, the Crown Prince of Prus-
STA, halted there, and took him among
his escort when going from Frankfort
to Mayence, where grand review was
to be held. Military etiquette is ex-
ceedingly strict in Germany. However,
it was so hot in tho royal car that every
officer and the Prince himself loosened
their uniforms. On arriving at May
ence the distinguished party were to be
met at the railway station by troops
under arms. The Crown Prince but
toned up again his uniform, but he for
got one button. Fortunately, as he was
about to leave the car, Bismarck, on
the alert, saw the awful infringement of
military etiquette, and, rushing to
Guillaume: "Ohl Prince" he said,
what were you going to do?" and, for
getting that no one Is allowed to touch
a royal parsonage, he forced the re-
fractory button into its proper place.
The Prince thanked the diplomatic

Pistols and MatrimOnH.

The daughter of an English Baronet
fell in love with a poor lawyer nearly
100 years ago. She challenged him to
fight duel, which he was forced to ac-
cept. She appeared masked, and gave
him his choice of either fighting her or
marrying her. His second, who was
also unaware of the woman's identity
or the cause of her strange conduct.
advised his principal to marry her.
After the ceremony, during which she
still wore the mask, they drove to her
rich home, and, after Withdrawing for a
few moments, she returned and capti-
waited her husband by her beauty and
tasteful Dress

But true loves course did ne'er rum smooth

And kicked him from the room, and said,
You'd Biscuit out OF this.
And thus adjured. he soon got out,

Use of Rig Words.

"He goes on his own hook" has been
rendered more elegantly, In Difference

the times, in this manner: HE pro-
crosses on his own personal curve" and

customers are shaved without incision

heard pin fall is proverbial ex-
preston of silence; but it has been
eclipsed by the French phrase, you
might have heard the unfolding of a

pitch darkness" it has been so inn
proved as to read "bituminous obscur-

the fact that man is naturally lazy, is
to say that he is considerably tired"

poetical way of asking, What wild you

Then, again, we have that old fashioned
saying: "lhe more the merrier," de-

meant that she was crying. Certain
critics, too, occasionally launch out in q
similar metaphorical style. Concern
