Born in Mercersburg, Pa, Mr.. Guthrie was
LETT at an early age, an orphan in the care of an
older sister, who lived at Clear Spring, Md
Herself a member Of the Presbyterian church
she endeavored to bring him up in the faith and
practice of the church of their parents To this
loving care he owed much of that, in his head
and heart which won and retained for him
through life the esteem and confidence of those

victions although of retiring disposition, scru
pulously upright in all his dealings with his
fellow men; kind and afectionate in all the re-

Christ's kingdom, and anxious to be himself in
that kingdom, he yet never saw his way clear
TO make any public profession Of his faith In
Jesus. But during his last sickness he so ex-
pressed himself IS greatly to comfort his sorrow
ing friends as he assured them that the GREAT
questions which he had so long seriously and
prayerfully considered were settled at last and
his heart and mind were "at peace" "Staved
on Him" who alone can save. Sorev cbas
tised, yet sustained by hope they bore him away

The admission of New Mexico into

For God sake, no. In the first place,
considering the amount of illiterary

are capable of self-government.
Secondly, territorial government
is much cheaper, and our admission
as state would only render tax
alton the more burdensome to our
sparce population, without any cor
responding benefit.

Society at the Capital.

A prominent New York gentleman who
has spent couple of winters in Washing
ton said to me this morning: "Do you
know I am perfectly fascinated with the
social life at the capital? We have no
real society in New York. You go to any
one of the clubs and you find them in the
possession of lot of young insurance
agents. stock brokers and downtown bust
ness men. They talk nothing but stocks,
petty scandals and horses. Old men are
regarded as stupid. Any literary or intel
lectual gentleman who desires to discuss
something outside of standard club topics
is voted nuisance. You go into general
society and you find it still worse. A man
or woman over thirty years of age has to
sit in corner. The young dancing dudes
and the buds run everything. Here in
Washington literary gentlemen, philauthro-
pists, statesmen, historians and the very
best type of our leading people are met
everywhere. You have here the young
dancing people, too, but they are merely
employed to fill in the gaps. They are
not the feature of your society. Any one
who has ever enjoyed winter in Washing
ton society could never be satisfied with the
society of any other city in this country.
1t is the only town where men of brains
and position are not driven into the back
ground by the long-legged young men and
the nimble-footed young women, the grad
yates of the dancing schools

The Shaking Quakers.

The peculiar sect known as the Shaking
Quakers'' deserve credit for many of the
useful inventions of the present. More
than half century ago they first originated
the drying of sweet corn for food, and they
first raised, papered and vended garden
seeds in the present styles. From their
first methods of preparing medicinal roots
and herbs for market sprung the immense
patent medicine trade. They began the
broom corn business. The first buzz-saw
was made by the Shakers at New Lebanon.
This is now in the Albany Geological Hall
The Shakers invented metallic pens, first
made of brass and silver. All distilled
liquors were abandoned as a beverage by
the Shakers sixty years ago, and during
the past forty years no fermented liquor Of
any sort has been used, except as a medi
cine. Pork and tobacco are also numbered
among the forbidden articles.
