moored gentleman of medium height and
generous proportions, with a gray beard
worn in European style, and dressed in deep

was James Russell Lowell, the late minister
to England. He was apparently in good
health, though greatly aged since last seen
in Massachusetts,. Mr.. Lowell's only daugh-
ser, her husband, Mr. Burnett, and few
ladies and gentlemen, were there to meet
him, and in the hour during which the party
remained on board the vessel, many other
friends assembled. Few of them attempted
to interfere with the happy converse of Mr.
Lowell and his daughter. After exchang
ing civilities with his more intimate friends
Mr. Lowell took carriage and departed fol

The Virginia election campaign OF
November, 1885, was one OF the most
exciting that that State ever passed
through. Although the guhernatorial
position was ostensihly the bono OF
contention, the real struggle was for
the United States sCnatorship, and to
gain this position ex-senator Malone
bent all his energies. Fitz.Hugh Lee,
the Democratic candidate for Gov
erner, had the sympathieS Of the peo-
pie, and he, with the entire Legisla-
ture, was elected by majority APP
proximating 10000, The two most
prominent men mentioned to succeed
Malone were John W. Daniel and
John S. Barbour. On Dee. z, 1885,
the Democratic caucus nominated
John w. Daniel for Senator, This
virtually ended the contest.
John w. Daniel was born in Lynch
burg, Va, Sept. 8, 1912. At the age
of 10 he entered the Confederate Army
as second lieutenant and was assigned
to Stonewall Jackson's brigade. He
was three times wounded at the battle
of the Henry House and soon after
was promoted to adjutant. In the
battle OF the Wilderness his thigh was
crushed by minnie bali. When he
retired from the service it was with
the rank Of major. He has served in
both branches Of the Legislature and
was twice defeated for the nomination
for Governor of Virginia He is an
able lawyer and has no superior, in
the State, as an orator and debator
In view Of these qualities and his life.
long devotion to the Democratic par
ty makes his selection az United
States Senator peculiarly fitting.

! am convinced that there is great
economy in keeping hens If we have
sufficient room for them and thor
ough knowledge Of how to manage
the fowl properly But to the profes-
sional man, who is not familiar with
the habits of the hen and whose mind
does not naturally and instinctively
turn henward, l would say Shun her
as you would the deadly upas tree OF
Piscatequis county, Maine.
Nature has endowed the hen with
but limited amount of brain force.
Any one will notice that, If he will
compare the skull Of the average self
made hen with that OF Daniel Web
ster, taking careful measurements di-
rectly over the top from one ear to
the other. The we'll informed brain
student will at once notice great
falling off in the region OF reverence
and an abnormal bulging out in the
location of alimentiveness.
Now take your tape-msasure and,
beginning at memory, pass carefully
| over the occipital bone to the base ol
the brain in the region Of love OF home
and offspring and you will see that
while the hen suffers much in com.
parison with the statesman in the rel
ative size Of sublimity, reflection, spir
ituality, time, tune, ETC.. when it comes
to love of home and offspring she
shines forth with great splendor.
The hen does not care for the sub
| lime in nature. Neither does she care
for music. Music hath no charms t
soften her tough old breast. But shs
loves her home and her country. Nv,

OF charity, got into the room Of A ten
ement house. 1t was vacant He
saw a ladder pushed through the cell

poor creature had crept up there, he
climbed up the ladder, drew himself
through the hole, and found himself
under the aiters. There was no light
but that which came through bulls
eye in the place OF II tile, Soon he
saw heap Of chips and shavings,
and on them boy about ten years
old.

self on his face and through the rags
Of his jacket and shirt, my friend saw
the boys flesh was bruised and his
skin was broken.
Why, my boy, who beat you like

How Cremation Looks.

The remains arrived at Lancaster at
8 80 Sunday, and at 8 40 that after
noon the body was placed in the re-
tort. The body was wrapped only in
white cloth, which was saturated in .
solution Of alum Ito prevent the cloth
from being instantly destroyed by the
heat), and in this shape it was laid in
an iron cradle, which was placed on a
movable tract, the same height as the
.etort. This was then wheeled up by
propulsion obtained with iron rods,
that permitted the attendants who did
t to stand at a sufficient disance from
the furnace to avoid being injured by
the heat The furnace door opened,
the cage containing the body was roll
ed into the edge of the opening,
where the carriage struck an obstruc-
ton, placed there for that purpose,
which threw the body into the retort,
leaving the iron truck to be drawn
back out OF danger. The badly was
thrown into furnace heated beyond
that one that Nebuchadnezzar com
manded to be heated Zone seven
times more than it was wont to be
heated" and into which Shadrach
| md his companions were pitched
head first, "bound in their coats, Their
hosen and their hats and other gar
ments." The furnace door clanget
back again--and through small
perture the scene inside was noted
Owing to the saturation Of the cloth
and, possibly, also to the expulsion o
moisture from the body, the first an,
instant effect was dense vapor
which filled the interior OF the fur
, mace, hiding the body. No flame en-
: tered the inclosure, and in a few me
ments the space became clear agar
and the body, still wrapped IN th
], alum-prepared sheet, was seen as
: dazzling, incandescent mass, lookin
: something like the molten, CLOWN
mass in the retort of a glass-makin
furnace. At 8 o'clock it was foun
: that the body had been reduced
n ashes.-Report Of an Eyewitness.

And eyes that will beam love lighted2

When the words that welcome back betray
We form a leart's chief treasure?
