Deaths of Distinguished Men.

The Boston Herald has collected ac-
counts ofthe deaths of several eminent
men which are peculiarly interesting at
this time.
Napoleon l. died of O. cancer in the
stomach. He underwent all the rise and
fall of health and hope, depression and
despair which have marked Grants
illness. But the cancer, being in the
stomach, caused much severer pain
than Grants. Toward the last he
could not digest his food. Hewas tor
mented by a constant thirst. His
pulse beat with feverish quickness. He
was fully aware of his fate. '"The
monarchs who persecute me, he said,
"may set their minds at rest. shall
soon remove all cause for fear" His
days were almost given over to spasms
of pain, to vomiting and intolerable
thirst During the intervals of rest
he would talk occasionally. He said
he was going to meet his subordinate
more the intoxication of human
done with Frederick, Caesar and Ham
nibal, unless" he added with a pc
culiar smile after a pause, "unless there
should be as great an objection in the
upper spheres as there is here belowto
On the Sd of May he became delirious,
and amid his rawlings these words we're
distinguishable. "My son. The army.
Desaix." His sufferings contiued until
almost the last moment when he sunk
into Inconsistencies. The day before
the death of Frederick the great, al
though feeble and confined to his bed,
he went through with all his cabinet
work, debating to his clerks clearly
and intelligently, but with feeble
voice. The next day was spent in
stupor and occasional opening
of the eyes. He knew, how
ever, of his condition, as he asked
what the doctors had said about him.
In the night he asked what O'Clock it
was, said he should rise at 4, told an
attendant to throw quilt over one
of his dogs that was shivering with the
cold, and after coughing and clearing
his throat said, "We are over the hill.
We shall be better now" This was
his last speech and two hours after he
was dead.
Oliver Cromwell struggled with his
last illness for ten days. Toward the
last he was heard to say among other
things: II think [ am the poorest
wretch that lives; but l love God, or
rather. am beloved of God. 1 am a
conqueror, and more than a conquer
or, through Christ that strengtheneth
me-" But most of the time he was
speechless.
Blucher, who saved wellington at
Waterloo, said to the King ofPrussia,
who visited him during his last illness,
~ know 1 shall die. 1 am not sorry
for it, seeing that 1 am no longer of
any use."

Rich actors and Actresses.

Little Lolita is declared to be ths
richest woman on the stage 1heaIu
her fortune put day or two ago at
81, 100000. This is, of course, es-
.travagant. She is, however, worth
all of $3.50, 900, and 1 dare say, some
where near S5OO,0O0. In her earlier
years on the stage Lolita experiences
no end OF trouble keeping her money
Somehow or other it all went. But
as time wore on Lolita contfacted
business habits, until she is now as ca
pable business person as anybody
She has money invested in about every
way-stocks, bonds, real estate, and
1 know not what. She is now 3Syearsr
old; believe, but she is full of anima-
ton and always a wonderfully happy
little body She succeeded on the
stage because she could not help IT.
It Is perfectly natural for her to cut
the capers that she does, for she cuts
them off the stage as well as on.
The richest man on the stage rs
doubtless Joe Murphy. He is wortha d
cold $500, 900, if he is worth q dollar
He was poor Irish boy, and started
as variety singer and dancer. His
one ambition has been to make mon
ey, rather than fame as distin-
guished artist. He has stuck 70,
Irish dramas, and he has always
played to big-paying business, while
other shows have languished and
died on all sides. He has sung
"Only a handful of Earth from My
Dead Mothers Grave" until it wrings
tears from even him-tears of agony
The song, however, touches the heafts
of his audience every time without fali-
The women boo-hoo and,the men de-
mand repetition. Players who are
satisfied with modest positions in the
profession like to go with Murphy
He expects them to do all that their
contracts call for, but he treats them
faily and pays them fairly. Nobody
begrudges Murphy his prosperity, for
the reason that he is known every
where as a square and upright man.
The poorest person in the profession
aggregates in the total nine-tenths OF
the whole. Lillian Russell is, perhaps,
as badly off as any OF the conspicuous
ones. She has received great deal
of money, but never has kept any OF
it, and it is said she has debts without
end. Fanny Davenport, [ hear, has
invested some money in one of the
dramatic papers. Shehas accumulated
fortune, and very substantial oues
too. Sheis probably worth 5000

their hair has turned gray, have as

Farmer Allen belonged to my COM

"Grant's Cadet.'

"Another case in point" said an ola
West Pointer, ''is that of Sergeant
Griffith of the old dTwenty-secondI Iowa
In the assault on Vicksburg it win be
remembered that part of the Twenty
second Iowa Regiment crossed the
ditch and parapet of a rebel outworL1-
In the hand-to-hand fight that follow
ed every man except one was shot
down. This one man was Griffith, ana
he went down with the others, stunned
but not seriously hurt. On his re
covery he found a rebel lieutenant and
sixteen men lying in the outwork stIt
unwounded, but exposed to the fire
from both Confederates and Unlonists-
Griffith rose and asked the rebels to
follow him out of the place. They
signified their willingness to obey, and
calling to the troops outside to cease
firing Griffith took his prisoners over
the parapet under a storm OF rebel,
shot. AS soon as he heard of this ex-
plot Grant promoted Griffith to first
lieutenancy and afterward sent him to
the Military Academy at West Point,
where he was known as Grant s cadet
He graduated in 1867 the fifth in his
class, and I happen to know, that
Grant never lost sight of him, and N,
every mention of that battle of Vicks-
burg written by Grant, Griffith receives
as many lines asdo some of thegenerai

winter, whenever tine ianitor started

thousands of bees were crawling and
humming about the chancel. The Rev.
Mr.. Lombard conducted the service,
and when the organ and choir rolled
out the morning hymn the insects
poured In millions from the roof
Evidently the bees were preparing to

A laundering Big Organ.

Letter In San francisco Alta.
The organ has 2,7O4 pipes and fifty
seven stops. Some of the pipes are
thirty-two feet long and large enough
ito admit the bodies of three men,
the towers that rise on either side are
forty-eight feet high, with niche left
between them for the Goddess OF. Mu-
sic. This immense temple of music,
which is nearly as large as a cottage,
ls elaborately carved by hand.
1t is impossible to estimate the cost
of it, as it was built in early days,
when freighting was done by OK
teams across the plains, and many of
the workmen only received provisions
for their labor. But they are a people
who will not be outdone, and when the
Episcopal Church built their beautiful
organ here the Mormons at once be-
gan to improve theirs, which was all
show and framework, and have
already expended $4,000 on it.
Sitting IN that vast auditorium, 200
feet long by $50 wide, where the acous-
ties are SO perfect you can hear pin
drop from one end to the other, amid
the cool and silence and solemnity of
the vast an1phitheater-for it is circu-
lar in it's formation, with the melo-
dious, rhythmical, silver toned strains
of that powerful organ, under the mas
ter band, one is exalted for the time
being, and feel, as 1 imagine he will
when brought to face the.great Master.
When listening to the grand offertore
Gin d. by Baptiste imagined 1 knew

ohium seemed let loose, when low
voice in a minor strain began to sing,
and one could only think of the wall
of lost soul, and the tears unbidden
start-so sad, SO sweet, so far away
is this voice, which after all is no voice
at all, but only the effect of the organ.
Then comes a burst OF melody, like

ed. Good evening, sir"
"Stay, Miss Lambert. Shall I call
tomorrow and receive your answer, OF
can I hear it now?"
"Not now. Tomorrow if you wish,
you may see me at home"
And on the following day Mark
Spencer, with throbbing heart, sat be-
side his love.
When she felt his strong arm stealing
around her trembling form, when she
felt his lips pressed to hers in sweet
betrothal kiss, and heard his 1ow-mur-
INJURED words of endearment, Minerva
Lambert felt sweet feeling of rest
coming over her, and she laid her head
on his breast, wondering how she ever
could have thought that she loved
Leroy Beaumont more than she did
this noble hearted man.

a QUESTION.

Joy comes and goes; hope Gibbs and flows
Like the wave;
Charge does unknit the tranquil strength of
men.
Love lends life little grace,
few sad smiles, and then
Both are laid in one cold place,
In the grave.
Dreams dawn and fly, friends sraile and die
Like spring flowers;
Our yauNted life is one long funeral
Men Dig graves with bitter tears
For their dead hopes; and all
Mazed with doubts and sick with fears
Count the hours.
We count the hours. These dreams of ours
False and hollow.
Do we go hence and find they are not dead?
Joys we dirnly apprehend,
Faces that smiled and fled,
Hopes born here, AID born to the end,
Shall we follow9
Matthew Arnold
