WILLIAM HENRY SMlLA
Is a native Of Columbia county, N. Y, and
Is descended from two old New England
families. His father, William DeForest
Smith, who was born in Litchf1eld county,
Ct., In 1905, was a grandson of Bethel
Smith, Of Kent, who was a grandson of
Rev. Henry Smith, clergyman well known
IN the Connecticut valley. His mother was
daughter Of Deacon Story Colt, of Spen.
certown, Columbia county, who was lieu
tenant In the army during the Revolutionary
war, and WAS descended from Daniel Colt,
who settled in the Connecticut valley prior
to 1890. The family was of Dutch origin,
end came to America for religious freedom.
The parents of William Henry Smith emil
grated to Ohio and settled on the Darby
Plain, in Union county, in 1885, when the
subject of this sketch was about two years
old. He being off studious turn of mind
was given the advantage of a thorough
education. After graduation, and when II
years of age, he was employed in literary
work, and in a year or two became the
editor Of a weekly paper in Cincinnati and
of monthly called The Casket and Review.
Subsequently he became connected with
the daily press of that city, and yEhen the
war broke out was on the editor staff of
The Gazette. In 1868 he invited
by John Brough, sOhio's great war
governor, to become his private secre-
tary, and while holding that position
was nominated and elected secretary of
state on the Union ticket in 1864 by a ma
Jority Of about go, 900, and was reelected in
1856. He resigned this Office in January,
1868, to join with others in establishing the
Cincinnati Chronicle, and on that paper be-
ing merged with the Times, accepted the
appointment of general manager of the
Western Associated Press. This was in
January, 1870. The duties aud responsihili-
ties of this position. have been enlarged by
the union of the Western with the New
york Associated Press in 1892 This bust
mess alliance, which is valuable to all Of the
papers interested, is due very largely to the
tact and address of Mr.. Smith. who is the
general manager for the combination known

The Etiquette of Corn CrIbbing.
IBrooklYn Eagle.1

I1dSl6.J
Ethel wishes to know elf she may eat
corn from the cob, and if so, howe" We
hasten to assure Ethel that she may. Polite
society has recognized the fact that it is the
proper thing to eat the corn from the cob,
and no man now eating it cob and all is in
vited a second time to our best tables. The
manner of devouring this delicious bivalve
in its natural state varies with the strength
and taste of the consumer. The destroyer
may hold the cob in one hand in perpen-
dicular condition and shave the corn
off with a dinner knife If the browser is
extremely dainty, he may prod off the corn
one grain at a time with fork Thus he
will preserve a high standing in society, but
will not get any corn. In court circles it is
permissible to hold the cob with one hand
and nibble with the other, care being taken
not to allow the nose and chin to meet on
the other side of the cnlo. But perhaps the
only feeder who Egets all the corn he wants,
and gets it comfortably, is the epicure who
I clutches the cob in both hands, one at each
end, sharpens his teeth, and gnaws away al
the cob like rat at a -four barrel.

The present emperor of China is Kwangsu,
son of Prince Kung, the minister of foreign
affairs. Kwangsu is not regularly descended
from the royal family as the law of success
sion orders, but was selected by the empress
dowager, whose portrait we present, on ac-
count of his youth, he being but three years
old when appointed in 1875, thus giving her
an opportunity of retaining the regency for
many wears to come. Though her portrait
would indicate meek and mild-mannered
lady, she is to great extent the source of
the present troubles which have been brought
on China, and of its national weakness, which
France is taking advantage OF.

This renowned Baptist clergyman an
nounced recently, that he has delivered
l,S00 sermons. all of which have been
printed, after his revision of the shorthand
notes To this latter labor he has given
great deal of care. He estimates that five
years has been required in preparing his
sermons for the press. He is so years old,
and was pastor before he was eighteen, in
q country town At nineteen he went to
London, and such was the power of his
oratory that it was found necessary to con-
struct a building to hold the crowds that
came to hear him. This edifice was not ca
pacibus enough, so they built again and
again, till at last the present tabernacle"
holding between 5000 and 6,0O0 people,
seems to be adequate and is always well
filed. Mr.. Spurgeon is remarkable for the
plainness of his discourses and the common
sense which pervades them, together with
the homely illustrations and every day but
practical applications he makes of his
points.

minislration has turned it's back on the
spoils system which Republicanism has
always denounced. We cannot con.
denim il for that. 1t has found abuses by

We must not defend extravs sgance or cor

The practical lesson from NIL this is that
the Republican party must disOwn all
leadership which ties 1t to old issues and
runs Il on the low plane Of political ex-
pediency. which disloris and denounces
the virtues of the present administration
and waits and watches for blunders that

While the Sentinel has recently had con-
siderable to say in eoademning candidates
for tramrng down corn over the county in
search of Office, we would respectfully call
it's attention 10 the fact that the bars are
down and several Republican candidates
nre at large in this section, and besides
we have no fences around the cornfelds on
the river fats. The State law, as amend
ed, is very strict on this subject. Farmers
nre not compelled to keep fences around
their fields, nor does the law make any
distinction In politics or the number o.
legs the animal must have.

Gen. sherman on president Cleveland.

General sherman said he regarded
President Cleveland ss fine business man,
rather than a politician, and believed he
would conduct the affairs of the nation on
business principles. Referring to the lew
chsngen made by the administration, lie
said that President Cleveland has been
moderate, and in no care had lie removed
Republican soldiers from Office because
they were Republicans. The civil service
rules, Gen. Sherman thought, would prove
of benefit to the public service, although
the motive for their adoption and execu.
ton WAS TO bring relief to Congress men
and Senators from the Office seekers. He
thought that men in public life, recog-
niz,ng the difficulty of satisfying import.
