RARELY does it happen that great men
have sons worthy of thero, and Gladstone's
male offspring seem to be no exception to
the rule. His eldest son is spoken of as
an extremely good, dull aud Commonplace
young man. He has spoken but once or
twice during his ten years in Parliament,
and the only remarkable thing about him
is that he always rushes from the House
the moment his father rises to make a
long speech. Herbert has also failed to
realize the high hopes entertained OF hlm
and is now regarded as amiable rather
than clever, very obstinate, slightly shall
low, and deplorably indiscreet. Brains as
well as money were never Intended TO

In Benton coanty, . mile or two from Al
bany, and was gone all day. Not returning
at night a effort was made 10 find him. his

traces Of him could be discovered. The next
morning continuing the search his body was
found IN the snow about half : mils froa his
fathers house, life being completely extinct.
Warmth in the snail Of his back, though in
sicated that he had not been dead long.
Tracks In thesaow showed that be had drag
Esd himself along by his arms and body for,
long distance. The remains Of the deceas-
ed were taken to his home and have since
bsen inferred. His lower limbs were frozen,
though not badly, and his arms slightly. His
death has caused general sorrow in the COM
nHnity where he lived. among old and
young. It Is hard 70 think Of any one freez-
ing to death in Oregon, but Tuesday after
noon and night were uncommonig severe, and
whils it was net 80 very cold compared with
Eastern weather. Jet the wind made it very
biting and piercing. which accounts for the
accident.
