THO As A. HENDRICKS.

The sudden death of Vice President
Hendricks Ia a painful shock to the
American people. Not only does it
make vacant the second office in our
Government, but it removes n figure
which for many years has been proni-
nent in national politics. Although he
can scarcely be called great states
man. Thomas A. Hendricks was unqres-
tionably great politician. He had
that power over men, that successfully
persuasive manner, that plausible
speech and ready wit. which distin-
guish politicians who attain preeni-
nence.
That he was brilliant man, no one
will deny. He has long been one of the
msst prominent leaders Of the Demo-
cratic party, and twice came near being
its candidate for President. He can
scarcely be regarded ss a sound rea-
soner, for experience has shown that he
assumed wrong position upon many
important questions of government.
He successfully lived down the effects
of many mistakes, and will be remem-
bered as man Of brilliant parts and
great popularity. He will leave no great
mark in the history Of his country.

"vANITY OF vANITlES."

<yanity of vanities;" the world is full of sin
The pot of evil boiling all the time;
The big man and the little man in breathles:
His eagle or his dollar or his dime;
And yet, though DER this desert waste the
winds of evil blow.
There's many a cheerful glimmer shining OH,
A thousand traps and pitfalls lie about US
Temptations and decisions by the score:
The nabob in his selfshness rolls by us on the
way.
The poor man often bangs his cottage door;
And yet there 8 compensation. Every clumsy
Who grasps a hornet by its sting or hedgehog
by its spines.
Amid the selfish thousands there are hundreds
true and kind,
With many noble features that redeem:
The toughest ore has value IL it be but well
And men are mostly better than they seem;
Ii looking out for brambles you are sure to
Perhaps you'll be as lucky if you closely look
for hearts.
For after all is uttered, we but find that which
The searcher after weaknesses will find:
Go listen, and you II wonder at the kind words
mortals speak,
No beauties have a message for the blind;
The world is but a mirror, and within our
neghbors face
We see our soul reflected in its ugliness or
grace.

But also full oe sunshine and of flowers;
The man who works for happiness its smile
will surely win,
Tie man who seeks shall find his sunny

So thrust the little barriers of its selflshness
aside.
And find the hidden blessings lying under all

The sun is always somewhere, and tho good

FASHIONS FOR MEN.
The Important Matter Of Cutting and Fl
ting and Sewing q Coat.

The Important Matter Of Cutting and Fit
ting and Sewing q Coat.
1t is generally conceded that there is
q style about mems clothing made IN
America that can not be found else
where. Clothes worn by our gentle
men abroad always attract attention,
for the fit is rarely to be criticized, while
the workmanship of the garment is not
only perfect, but really artistic. One
half hours conversation with mer-
chant tailor or first class cutter would
astonish a novice, for one can hardly
realize that SO much care must be
taken in the cutting of coat or
trousers. 1t requires an artist of high
degree in the business to cut and fit a
coat properly. Nor is this all; the man
who sews the garment has a very i'm
portant task before him, for one wrong
stroke Of the needle may spoil the looks
Of an entire seam. 1t is said 10 take
fully six days for good man to sew an
overcoat, but when it is done it is a
picture to look upon.
Notwithstanding merchant tailors
have been complaining bitterly the past
few months about the dizziness of
business, there is at present cheerful
and confident spirit exhibited by the
trade in reference to the spring and
summer seasons. They say the outlook
is encouraging, end hopefulness exists
as to better times for the future.
The importaiions in woolens have
not been so large. but there never was
to be found a more attractive or a
greater variety of patterns and designs
in these goods than are offered by
leading firms. There is great variety
of plaid suitings in novel and attractive
designs. These range from small checks
to large block plaids, in very effective
combinations and colors- A stylish
plaid is sort of combination check and
plaid At first it describes neat check,
but q second look shows the peculiar
shading Of colors to represent . large

A Confederate Tribute.

Mr.. T. J. Mackey, formerly of the
Confederate engineers, relates char
acter;stie story of General Grants gen.
crosby:
1.-The old hero took from his own men
and gave it to our starving boys after
the battle at Appomattox," said the
speaker. I'VE were very agreeably sur
prised the morning after we stacked
arms to see long line Of white-covered
wagons winding into our camp 1t was
General Grants commissary train. Be-
ing well aware of the fact that we had
subsisted for days on few grains of
corn, the kind-hearted conqueror had
ordered his Commissary General to de-
liver his entire train to our men. Upon
discovering what their commander had
done the boys in blue made a grand
charge on our camp and generously
gave up their cooking utensils to the
furnishing Confederates
1.-The true Confederate soldier" con-
tinued the Major, recognizes General
Grant as a military commander who by
his magnanimity deserved victory, and
felt at Appomattox that it was no dis
homer to such soldier. Ex-Confede-
rates will be among the most sincere
mOurners when he dies. For President
Grant they ha6 no eulogies, bus they
always gave to General Grant their
most earnest tributes of praise and ne

cauterization After Dog Bites.

The London Standard says: ga sad
case of death from hydrophob.a occurred
recently just outside the port of Singa-
pore. The victim was Lieutenant Law
ford, of the Royal Inniskillings, and there
seems to be no doubt that his death
was consequent upon a bite on the fin
ger about eight months ago. Some
other gentlemen were bitten b. the dog
at the same time as this unfortunate
officer, but as they took precautions at
once they have not so far suffered any
ill effects. Lieutenant Lawford unfor-
tunately only received slight scratch,
and did not think it necessary to have
It cauterized as did the others. Had he
done SO ne would possibly have escaped
evil consequences. The old plan of the
red-hot iron has long given way to
caustic and pure carbolic acid; and
even if the wound is allowed to bleed
freely and is sucked at once, in the abb
sence of the necessary remedies, such
treatment seems to be sufficient protec-
ton"

| ,laid. This Is very attractive and has
many admirers. It produces an ex-
cellentle effect and will be popular with
dressy young gentlemen.
Stripes an eighth of an inch wide.
with silk mixed through them in dark
shades, are among the novelties in
suitings. Sack suits for business are
made of these cloths, but they will be
more popular as trouserings. Home
spun goods are very popular among the
best trades, and will be worn extern
sively in blocks, blues, grays and gray
mixtures. Gray mixtures are also shown
in diagonal worsted, and blue steel mix
lures are great favorites.
For trousers the best trades prefer
stripes of medium width and in small
checks. These are in various shades
and combinations of colors. Striped
goods show considerable silk mixture
interspersed.
Corkscrew diagonals are passe with
the best dressers. The broad vale dag
onals of last season have given way to
II medium vale, which, it is said, will
be leading favorite the coming sea-
son for walking coats and business pur-
poses. For dress suits very fine vale
diagonals are still favorites, broadcloth
being used only for elderly gentlemen,
special designs for dress purposes are
found in leading wooden houses in fine
crepe effects and new basket weaves.
Dressed meltons is new line of goods
introduced for spring overcoats. They
are soft and made with cloth finish.
and represent all the fashionable light
shades used for such purposes. They
make very handsome and attractive
garment. These are acknowledged to
be beautiful goods, yet colored worsted
will continue to be i'm favor.
Cheyiots and Saxony wool suitings
will be much used for everyday wear,
and fancy colored mixture will also find
favor A fiat braid is used by leading
houses on the edge of coats. The pop
ular sizes of English silk braids run
from thirty-two to thirty-eight, while
those of American manufacture range
from eight to ten lines.
Buttons made from silk twist match
the shades of worsteds in general use,
while plain and diagonal satin and silk
buttons are used exclusively for dress
suits. For fancy cassimeres and cheviot
suitings. bone, ivory, pearl and tortoise
shell buttons are selected. The latter
have flat tops with sunken centers, are
highly polished and are very durable.
German agate buttons are very hand
some on light and brown shades of suit
ings. These are rather expensive, which
will prevent their becoming common,
but their beauty will make them popu-
lar with those who can afford them.
Highly colored pearl buttons, with
raised rim and fiat center. will be used
on such cloths as will be found suitable.

He was very kind of heart, and it
always panied him deeply to be charged
with unfeelingness. They call me a

When contemplated the death and
misery that were sure to follow. stood
appalled, 1t was only devotion to duty
that enabled him to overcome his natu-
raj tenderness of heart. His love for
the comrades who stood with him in
battle was deep and far-reaching. He
used to receive hundreds of letters from
old soldiers asking for aid. and none of
them were ever sighted. Soldiers wor-
SHIPPED him."
As to this latter point, Samuel ].
Randall, who managed the Grant Re-
tirement bill so skillfully, said day or
two ago: Nothing touched me so much
in connection with that matter as the
thousands of letters 1 received from
manned soldiers in all parts of the coun-
try. South as well as North, thanking
me for my part in the work"
As to the matter Of the old soldier 8
horror of war, Colonel William b. Mann,
who in his day was great political
power in Pennsylvania. said to me: Il
had long talk with Grant one after
noon during the interval between his
first election as President and his in
augurat!on. He told me that he
had not voted for Lincoln in 1860
because he fOresaw that Lincoln cleo
ton would end in civil strife. He would
not vote for Breckenridge. because
Breckenridge was an extremist He

sion of our Nation. he said, l well re-

averted whenever it is possible to avert it
without sacrifice of the National honor
On the question of the Alabama
claims he said that England's course
during the rebellion would have justi-
fled declaration of war against her.
But as war was not declared then it
would not be judicious to begin it after
ward for the old cause. England how
ever, he added. was bound to make a
recompense for what she had done, and
if she refused that might be cause

vocated the avoidance of war, and said
that while President he would do every
thing in his power to impress that view
