months Edmund, died, Canute became
king of all England. He was a merci-
less king during the early yeaA of his
reign.
" He who brings me the head of an en-
envy is dearer than brother" he said.
He hunted down the Saxons who had op-
posed him, and caused many to be slain
with whom he had "clasped hands in
acknowledgment of their support. Later
in life he repented of his cruelty, and
made pilgrimage to Rome to obtain alb

prosperous and lasted eighteen years.
He died in 1885 or 1876.
Several pleasant stories are told of him
among them the following One day W hen
Canute was at Southampton, he walked
on the seashore with several of his cour-
tiers, who, to gain his favor, tried to fatter
him by telling him how much wiser and
greater he was than anybody else. They
told him that he was lord of the earth and
the sea- and that even the ocean would
obey him.

me nor to wet my feet. The tide was
coming in, and it paid no attention to the
kings command, but rolled on, washing
over the king and his chair, and wetting
him thoroughly.
He turned to his courtier, saying
GIVE not to earthly kings the honor due

The Press on the Message.

The press of the country, without respect
to party, have spoken Of the Presidents
message to Congress in terms Of common
dation, with here and there an exception.
These two or three exceptions have charac-
terized it as plain businesslike document,
but 'lacking brilliancy of expression and
novelty in suggestion" This seems to
partake of hypercritcism. The truth is, Mr.
Cleveland is a terse and vigorous writer,
much on the style of William Goblet, for
strength and cogency, and of Addison, Tor
simplicity and perspicuity. There is no
effort at fine writing or meretriclous orna-
ment, but his style is graceful, lucid, and
chaste in diction. There are no stilted,
sonorous or Understanding sentences, such
as a graduate would strive after on com
mencement day, but pure and impld
transparency, with nothing awkward or
involved about it. The President writes
pure English, in an easy and graceful style,
such as is suited to the plain, practical de-
tails of business affairs with which such
state papers have chiefly to deal. If he
were writing thesis to be read in some
college Or university, style more ornate
might be deemed more appropriate But
the document just sent to Congress is ex-
actly what it should be, clear, comprehen-
sive summary of the business operations OF
the government, with such suggestions fol
fresh legislation as the needs of the coun
try seem to require.

Exit Malone.

The Democrats of the Virginia Legisla-
ture have selected Hon. John W. Daniel to
succeed Malone in the United States Sen
ate, and as they have two-thirds majority
in each house Major Daniels caucus NOM
ination is equivalent to an election. Major
Daniel was sworn in on Monday last as a
Representative of the Lynchburg district
in the House of Representatives, ana will
serve out his term there, which ends March
4, 1887, and will then 60 over to the other
end of the capitol. Although but forty
three years of age, he is one of the ablest
men in the country, and as an orator has
no superiors, if, indeed, any equals. The
Democrats of Virginia are to be compll-
mented on the wisdom of their choice, and
the party throughout the country is to be
congratulated upon having so able and SO
eloquent an advocate and defender OF Dem
ocratic principles and policy in the upper
house of the national legislature.

Work of the Fiery Element.

The Seipp building, four-story structu re
on Franklin street, near Van Buren,, Chicago,
was destroyed by fire last Sunday afternoon.
| The total loss is estimated at 100000. The
temperature being near zero, the firemen were
completely coated with ice, the streets and
sidewalks were frozen over and the adjoining
buildings looked like Spectacular icebergs."
The oil mills of J. P. Mills & Co., in In
dianapolis, were burned Sunday afternoon,
with about 100, 900 bushels of haxseed. %, 900
gallons of Oil and considerable quantity OF
oil cake. The loss is estimated at nearly
$150,000.
A fire in Etna, Pa. on Saturday night, de-
stroyed eight frame houses.
Cribben & Sections stove warehouse IN
Chicago, fve-story brick building, was
burned on Sunday night. The total loss on
the building and its contents is estimated at
about $500, 200, and the insurance aggregates
$155, 900. Two firemen were injured by 4
falling wall, one of them having leg broken.
The Daisy and Empire Flour Mills in Mil
waukee were destroyed by fire on Tuesday
morning. The loss is estimated at 100000.
Soon after the fire broke out in the Daisy
Mill an explosion occurred, injuring four fire
men, one of them, it is feared, fatally.
The college of the Presbyterian Educational
Institute, at York, Pa, was burned on Mon
day. The building originally cost $4,000
About O clock on Sunday morning Gettys
burg, Pa, was aroused by one of the most
threatening fires in its history. The flames were
first seen to issue from the roof of the kitchen
on the Philip Winter property-occupied by
Martin Winter as an office and the dwelling
by the family and the store and warehouse by
VIM. Spangler-on Chambersburg street, half
dozen doors from Centre Square. The fire
soon communicated with the warehouse, a
two story frame, and then to the McConaughy
law building on the west and his residence on
the east. 1t looked for time as if the block
to the square must go, with many buildings
outside in great danger, sparks having ignited
several roofs. However, the water supply
proving inexhaustible, and the pluck and per.
sistence of the boys unfagging, the fire tiend
was held at bay, and after two hours hard
fighting the flames succumbed and everything
became safe again. The losses embrace the
Winter warehouse, with contents belonging
to Mr.. Spangler, and the upper stories of the
Winter and two McConaughy front buildings,
with the backbuildings entirely burned out.
The losers are all insured.

Death of VIM. n. Vanderbilt.
The Richest Man i'm the World Dies
Suddenly.

William H. Vanderbilt dropped dead at his
residence in New York on Tuesday afternoon.
He was in the Goth year of his age. His
death was entirely unexpected, and none of
his family were with him at the time. He
was conversing with Mr.. Robert Garrett, of
Baltimore, when suddenly his speech became
indistinct and he fell forward on his face upon
the floor, killed by the rupture of blood
vessel at the base OF the brain. 1t is the gen
eral opinion that Mr.. Vanderbilt's death will
not in any way affect the management of the
great corporations with which he was con-
nected, and that it will have but little effect
upon the stock market. Mr.. Vanderbilt's
wealth was estimated as high as 5000, 900, 900,
and his income at S10,000,000 year. He
had nine children. eight of whom and their
mother survive him, and there are nineteen
grandchildren.

The recent possibility of an interregnum
has prompted Congress to consider the
matter, and law will probably be passed
providing against any possible vacancies in
the Presidency hereafter. The law will
provide for the succession, after the death
or inability of both the President and Vice
President, to fall upon the Secretary of
State, and then in turn to the other men,
bers of the Cabinet. By bill of this sort
party ascendancy would be continued
throughout the presidential term, in accor-
dance with the popular will, as members of
the Cabinet are of the same political asso-
citation as the President, whereas the Pres
ident pro TEN of the Senate or the Speaker
might not be. Besides, under the present
law, there might not be either President
of the Senate or Speaker of the House, as
has twice occurred within four years.

customers, we can show you one of the pref

The Maryland Democratic members of
Congress held conference at the residence
of Senator German last Friday night, all
being present except Senator Wilson: who
was not in Washington. Mr.. Findlay was
not invited, of course, as he has placed him
self out of the Democratic party, although
elected as a Democrat. 1t was agreed that
those present would act as unit in every
thing to come before Congress affecting the
interests of Baltimore and Maryland, and it
was resolved that the delegation would bend
all efforts to securing the necessary appro-
priation for the widening of the ship chan
mel at Baltimore.

the fact with commendable pride. The Id

is well worth its subscription price, two dol
