of congestion of the brain at her home
in the Second ward. While visiting her

feeling well and started for her home,
only short distance, but had scarcely
reached the stoop of her residence when
she fell down, and within a few hours
expired. She was married only last
June and was still in the flush of youth,
being yet in her Goth year. Her death

Schuyler Colfax Drops Dead.

A dispatch TO the Minneapolis
Tribune from MankatO gives this ac-
count of the death of Schuyler Colfax,
vice president in Grants first term: He
was passing through to attend to his
largc business interests in the North
west. On arriving at the Omaha de-
pot he entered the waiting-rOom, set
his satchel down, and stepping over to
the window, looked out. 1t was no
ticed that he looked pale and breathed
fast as though he had walked rapidly,
but otherwise he appeared in excellent
health. After short time he returned
to his seat and sat down, crossing his
legs. In moment those i'll the depot
were startled to see him fall suddenly
forward To the floor. He was quickly
lifted, but with one or two short gasps
he died without saying word.
The news of the death of Mr.. COlfax
created the greatest CONSERVATION at
South Bend, Ind, where he passed his
life from boyhOod, and where he was
highly honored and respected. He left
there Monday morning ut O'clock.
A note to the editor of the Tribune
from him said he was compelled TO
leave that morning to fill engagements
i'll northern Iowa which were made
months ago. 1t would seem that Mr..
Colfax had a premonition of death.
Ga Saturday, in the Tribune editorial
room, he said, 81 have appointed Mr..
George w. Matthews my executor"
When asked if he expected to pass
away soon, he replied, IL am liable to
drop dead at any moment"

In commenting upon "Forbe's" let
ter TO the Boston Journal, in which he
distributes the patronage of this state
among the men he thought would
most likely receive it, the Brattleboro
Reformer remarks: But the most i'm
portant consideration seems to he over
looked in this interminable chatter
about the patronage. A man by the
name of Grover Cleveland is to dis
pense it. Not anybody in Vermont
And he is going to dispense it with a
view of Improving the public service,
not as largess to partisans, however
estimable.
Gen. Grant persistently declines the
proffered financial aid, and it is thought
now that Congress Will vote to put
him on the retired list. Certainly the
whole country is interested that Gen
Grant never wants for pecuniary aid
Gen. Grant has stopped smoking be
cause of swelling which appeared on
the back of his tongue not unlike thai
which caused the death of Senator Bel
Hill of Georgia, who was also an in
veterate smoker, and who died by
inches of cancer on the tongue directly
traceable to this smoking habit.
Ben Butler comes to the surface
again after an unusually long silence
this time in libel suit against the
Boston Herald, laying damages at S25.
600 for the publication in that paper
i'm 1883 of an article rejecting on his
conduct in the war. Butler would die
of mOdesty if he could not keep him
self before the public in some way.
The Boston Herald and Springfield
Republican are both earnestly showing
the lack of any necessity in having an
nual sessions of the Legislature and
strongly urging biennial sessions now
adopted in so many states. The adj
vocates of this measure are reinforced
10y Senator Marden, whose long eXpe-
rience as clerk and speaker of the
house of representatives certainly Tits
him to expIes an opinion on the ques-
tion of biennial sessions, and the fact
t iat one who has shared so literally in
the honors of yearly meetings advises
their abolition, is noteworthy. The
Lowell Courier, Mr.. Marden's paper,
thus advises
The biennial question will occupy ii
good deal of attention ut this session
of the legislature. 1t ought to he at
once presented and discussed fully,
without waiting for petitions or daily
ing with public hearings. 1t ought to
command success also, when it gets Ia
vote Once in two years is often
enough to go through the turmoil of Il
state election.

The Charge Against ST. John

1T RESTS ON THE -UNAUTHORIZED ACT
OF A KANSAS POLITICIAN.
Mr.. st. John seems to be "let out" OF
the charge of having offered to sell
out to the republican party. j. S.
Clark son of the republican national
committee wrote to Mr.. Medill at Chi
cagO that St. John offered, through a
friend from his state for $25, 900 in
cash, to either withdraw altogether or
stay in the field and Feather" his
speeches to the help of the republi-
cans. This ''friend" proves to have
been James F. Legate, prominent
and not over respectable Kansas poll
ticiau and pr0hibitionist, who confess
es that without st. Johns knowledge
he did endeavor to- sell him out, max
ing the propositions stated by Clark
son. He urged the matter upon the
national committee, "but they would
not listen to me, and verify they have
their reward" The republicans have
Il deal of vicious talk against st. John
to take back. -.....-..

was concerned in Irish agitation in
tits country and went to Europe in
1888 to obtain information that would
prevent the extradition of P. j. Sheri-
dan, which was then sought by the
British government; he succeeded, aud
was ready to bring the witnesses to
this country when Great Britain con-
cluded it did not want Sheridan. Dur
ing his absence it was a while believed
that he was really O'Donnell, who shot
the informer Carey on the steamer in
South African waters, as the personal
description tailed closely, and it WAS
thought quite likely that Phelan, who
was one of the crack shots of the west,
had been selected to follow and kill
Carey. 1t was during this trip to Eu-
rope that he became acquainted with
John F. Kearney and his alleged plot
to blow up the steamer Queen, which
he detailed in the interview published
in the Kansas City journal now as
serted to have been the cause of his
attempted murder.

ing apples for '.t.tree for five" The
extra price for the oranges was evil
IDENTIFY for the purpose of making the
dealer whole on his freight charges, as
instead of buying his oranges from
Fernandina and having them shipped
direct TO him, he buys them from the
more enterprising dealer in New York
and pays this middleman's profit and
freight charges two ways from Port
ROYAL to New York. This is an illus
tratiOn of the lack of enterprise i'll
some sections of the south.
Here was seen the first southern
about the streets-a common sight in
many southern towns. AS the boat
was about to leave the wharf, c0nsid-
cradle amusement was afforded the
passengers by the scrambling of the
large crowd of negroes of all ages who
lined it for the pennies thrown to them
from on board.
| Throughout Monday and Tuesday
the water was as placid as Lake Mem
phremagOg, and many of the passen-
gers who had been missed since the
first supper were again seen on deck.
| This placidity is said to generally
characterize the southern portion OF
the voyage except during the preva-
lence of ''the September gale" A
party of Italian railroad labOrers who
occupied the steerage entertained the
rest of the passengers on Monday
evening 10y singing "Italian opera"
and Tuesday evening Captain Wilder,
who sought to make the trip pleas
ant one for the passengers, permitted
the Italian glee club of five persons,
with one who seemed to be the leader,
to give another "cOncert" ut the stern.
The Italian accompaniment of passing
the hat for Il collection was lacking i'll
either case, which raised serious doubts
of the genuineneSs of the ''opera."
At Fernandina we took our first les
son in the unacquaintance of railroad
officials with their duties. With con-
siderable difficulty the time for the
departure of the train for jacksonville
was ascertained and the difference be
tween Florida railroad time and New
York time. AT jacksonville Il com
plication of time was found, the city
using solar time-fifty- nine minutes
faster than solar time in New York
and the railroads and steamboats, run
ming 10y standard time, which is about
thirty minutes slower than Jackson
Vile solar time.
Some other time | will narrate my
experiences before reaching the place
from which this letter is dated. In
closing, it will interest the friends of
MIR. Knight-who came to Florida on
account of his health-tO learn that he
has greatly improved and now enjoys
better health than for long time
past. He has added nearly twenty
pounds to his weight since he left St.
Johnsbury and finds occupation and
remuneration in the use of his tools.

this that we have done more and bet

The Pending Treaties.

The close of President Arthur's al
ministration is being marked 10y i'm
portant commercial treaties which are
now being discussed in congress. The
President in his last message favored
the ratification of reciprocity treaties
with foreign nations because they
meant an extension of American trade
and commerce. The commercial treaty
with Mexico, ratified 10y the Senate
last March, still awaits tariff Irgisla-
ton te make it effective. But of more
importance tO the people at large is
the Spanish treaty. This treaty pro-
poses IA reduction of from $50, 0OO, 900
to S:}O, 900, 900 in revenue 10y the i'm
pOrtation of free sugar and tobacco at
lower rates in American and Spanish
bottoms from Cuba aud Porto Rico, in
return for favoIs supposed to he gained
in our exports TO Cuba.
The effect Of the ratification of this
treaty upon the price of manufactured
tobacco and refined sugar cannot east
at first sight this treaty would seem to
our Interests, it has met with the most
strenuous opposition. The manutac-
turers of sugar and tobacco do not
want it, and petitions have been pour
ing in from all sides to members of
congress to vote against it. Some fear
that the reciprocity will not he equal
and that the Spanish dependencies will
receive more benefit from it than the
United States, while the democrats in
congress are unwilling To disturb the
revenue of the country until the next
administration. la the face of such
opposition from business circles and
the press, it seems hardly probable
that the treaty will Ice ratified.
Another important treaty is the one
with Nicaragua, whereby the United
States contracts to bnild an intcrocean-
ic canal in that country, and to defend
the territory through which it passes.
This canal, if completed. would be u
rival to DE Lesseps' Panama canal now
in process of construction, aud It would
lie owned and operated 10y the United
States and not 10y foreign powers. This
treaty has been more fIvOrably re-
ceived, aud its friends confidently an
ticipate its speedy ratification 10y con
gress. The presentation OF these trea-
ties to the American people speaks
very highly of the craftsmanship and
wisdom which has been exercised all
through President Arthur's admins
tratiOn, now drawing to a close.
