BIOGRAPHICAL.

Clara Champion, daughter Of Jacob
and Barbara Baker, was born July ii
1860, and died near Florida, Henry
county, Ohio, December Z, 1884, aged
"a years, months and % days.
Again have the shadows of death
fallen thickly urOn the father and
children who, but on Saturday, the 9th
of this month, stood mourners at the
grave of a beloved son who had passed
away. She was married to Abraham
Champion, somewhat over two years
ago, and to them was horn two child
ren, one, an infant baLe, was laid away
quite young, and the other child is still
living. She, too, was a victim to that
fell destroyer, consumption, with which
she had for some time been a sufferer;
and just in the full vigor of woman
hood, amid the happy scenes of life,
surrounded by many loving friends,
she was so early called away from
among us forever. In the sprngtime
of life, when the hope and aspirations
Of youth We're budding into young wo-
manhood, when the noontide glare of a
useful life was Turing her happily on
ward, death overtakes her. At home
and abroad, among her friends, she has
ennohled her life by always showing
the highest regard for her parents and
neghUOIS. She loved and was beloved
by all who her. The flowing tears of
father, children, and friends, of school
mates and classmates, and the many
expressions of sorrow on every side
speak plainly of her loss to the com
munity. Down the path of her short
life are written, in letters of god, the
many goodqualities of wOmanhood and
the noble life she lived; free from guilt,
rich in common sense, sincere in friend
was to give her up, to say farewell,
Clara and know that we must see her
no more on earth. But we have the
consolation to know that she has cross
ed over the river and is on the ever
green shore, free from care and respon-
sibilities, pain and sorrow, and now
tunes her voice to sing the music of
angelic hosts. Her funeral took place
at the German Reformed Church, in
Florida, Ohio, ofwhich she was q men,
ber. The pastor conducted the services
in the German language and the pastor
of the M. E. Church in English, after
which her body was followed by large
procession of friends and neighbOrs to
what is called the Cole Cemetery, some
three and half miles south east of
Florida, there to remain until the res
direction morning; while her spirit has
gone to join her classmates in the Better
Land. May the Great Head of the
Church sustain and preserve the father
children, and many friends, unto ever |
lasting life, so that they too, when they
are called upon to pass away, may meet
their loved ones on the evergreen shore.
And, God grant that the husband, who
now mourns the loss of a beloved wife,
may seek an interest in Christ, that he,
too, when called upon to pass through
like affliction, he may meet his COM
panion in that home where parting is
not known.
Then Clara, now farewell,
Though sorrow fills our hearts,
And deepest grief our bosoms swell,
The bitter tear will start.
We all hope at last to meet you
When lile's trials on earth are done,
In our fathers shining mansion,
Wher afliction never comes.

The January number of the North
american ReUie,O is an excellent one.
1t presents no very famous names
among its contributors, but it offers a
wide variety of unusually readable
articles. We are now safely over the
crisis of the presidential election, so
that men of all parties can consider
calmly Bishop Huntington's essay on
"Vituperation in Politics." and it is to
be hoped that what they learn from it
will not be forgotten in the next four
years. Under the title "The Reunited
South" Henry Watterson presents
: with great clearness the Southern and
Democratic view of the political situa-
ton as it now stands. This also is ex-
tremely interesting to every citizen,
whether he agrees with Mr.. Watterson
or not. Another question of universal
concern, which some think will soon
make itself a national issue, is that of
labor and its compensation; and Col.
Hinton, in American Labor Organiza-
tions," shows with what equipment it
will take the field. But the article that
the literary reader will first turn to is
Frederic Harrison's brilliant and Incl
sive discussion of "Froude's Life of
CARLYLE" while the religious or philo-
sophical reader will find in Courtneys
Socrates, Buddha, and Christ" speci-
fic statements and quotations of those
parallel doctrines that are so often
vaguely alluded to. For the scientific
reader, Mr.. Proctor discusses learnedly
"Herschel's Star Surveys" and Prof.
g,e Conte presents and explains some
curious facts in relation to "The Evil
dence of the Senses. "Mr. Mulhall,s
paper on "The Increase of Wealth" is
u successful endeavor to render large
masses of figures popularly ineligible.

A Remarkable Escape.

Mrs. Mary A. Daley, of Tunkhan-

Asthma and Bronchitis, during which
time the best physicians could give no
relief. Her life was despaired of, until
in last October she procured bottle of

completely cured, gaining in flesh so

The Republican Press and Public Pat
Patronage.

Since the close of the Presidential
campaign, the Republican Press of the
country has been casting accounts to
ascertain their profits and losses in the
late hard fought Presidential battle.
Their consequent heartrending cries at
once indicates their age, and exposes
to the public that their losses have
driven that party into irredeemable
bankruptcy. 1t is impossible now
days to pick up Republican newspa-
per without finding from one to half
dozen articles in reference to the
various public Offices under control of
the President and his cabinet officers.
Their speculations are mainly as to
which Office comes under the protec-
tion of the Civil Service law and which
does not; whether Cleveland will
prove Jackson in regard to the
spoils of Office, or Whether he will be
half hearted and allow his sympathles
to control his actions in removing
those leeches of the Republican party
who now hold positions of Federal
patronage. From the bitterest hatred
and persecution, these newspaper men
have largely turned to the subtle meth
DDS employed by fawning sycophants,
and by honied words, hope to retain
that which they have forfeited by their
villainy. Their position before the
public is relatively that of the dog
who had been whipped in fight over
a bone, and now stands longingly
whining and growing at safe dis.
tance, while the stronger one Is mas
tlcating that which belongs to him by
right of possession. The picture is a
pitiful one, but "turn the rascals out"

The ills which flesh is heir to are more
often due to impurities in the blood
than is generally supposed. The puri-
fication of this vital fluid enables the
system to ward off its worst enemies.
There is no doubt that Hoods Sarsa-
parilla is one of the best blood purifiers
ia the world, and we feel confident that
those who give it a trial will not be dis
appointed. decl1-1m

A WHITE FROST.

Damage to Tobacco in Some Places.
 There was heavy white frost Sunday morning in the Connecticut yalley-the first severe frost of the season. It was anticipated and tobacco growers, where crops had not been harvested, worked during Saturday night getting the plants in. Sunday morn ing it was noticed that the plants ill East Hartford were apparently not seriously harmed, but in Broadbrook in exposed places the crop showed very marked effects of the frost. Probably the damage in some locali- rience and growers elsewhere will get the benefit of the East Hartford escape. Most of the places in this vicinity, however, were badly hurt At Windsor and Poquonnock and within the Hartford line there were fields almost entirely ruined. Work getting in all that could be saved of the crop was continued vigorously during Sunday But it is fortunate that this tobacco crop had been pretty much harvested before the sharp change in the weather occurred.
 The hurry of the tobacco-men to get the out standing crop in made help in active demand for Hove or money" While scores of labor CTS could have obtained employment within a few miles of Hartford the police officers re- port that the frosty weather has brought the tranps around in groups for lodgings. About twenty were lodged in Hartford jail Saturday night. With plenty of work near by the fellows seem to know how to dodge it.
 In the Housatonic valley the tobacco crop is nearly all cut. It is an unusually large and fine crop and the farmers are happy. So enormous, indeed is the crop that the farmers in some instances have not sufficient storage accommodations, and we hear that some of it has been hung up in the fields where it was cut. Fortunately the tobacco worms, which last year did considerable damage, have been scarce this season and have done but little harm. Tobacco is now selling at | from fifteen to eighteen cents pound.
 A jury of six was summoned yesterday in l the suit by which Mrs. Elizabeth A. Leaven-
 worth seeks to secure the ejectment of Henry Pearsall from the premises which he occupies
 as saloon and pool room at 97 Broadway. The dispossession proceedings are based on claims that MT. Pearsan has violated the con ditions of his lease by selling liquor on his premises and by subletting portion of the property to the Ninsh ward Butler club, which recently transferred it's allegiance to Blaine and Logan. The trial will take place to-day

 The ejectment suit of Mrs. Elizabeth A. Leavenworth, to compel Henry Pearsan to vacate the premises 92 Broadway, before Jus tice Kenyon, and which was to be tried yes terday, went over until to-day.

Thev want NTore RoOm,

The United Church society has petitioned the Court of Common Council for permission to build an addition to their church ediice They need more room, as the society has re- gently been considerably enlarged by the union with the Third church. It is objected that the territory of the Green should not be encountered any further by buildings. Con siderable opposition to the project was deYel- oped at the last meeting of the Board of Coun- cilmen and after much talk a resolution to indefinitely postpone the petition was voted down and the whole matter was referred to the Committee on Squares. The committee meets Wednesday night
 The members of the United church think they should be granted permission to put up an addition, as that permission was given Trinity church recently.
