THE LATE HUGH CONWAY.

Frederick ]. Fargus. better known to tho
world as Hugh Conway" the author Of
the popular novel Called Back" and
the writer Of Dark Days." "Carriston's
Gift" and numerous interesting short
stories, was born at Bristol, England, in
ls47. To crafty his boyish passion for tho
sea, which even led him to contemplate
running away from home to go on board a
ship, his father placed him on q school
frigate, the Conway, at liverpool, which
furnished the nom de plume under which
he afterward became famous, and where
he acquitted himself creditably, winning
the gold medal Of the Mercantile Marine
Association. Though he gained much
valuable material here for future use, he
did not 60 to sea, but, after completing
his studies, entered an accountants Office,
and subsequently succeeded his father in
the partnership Of q well-known auc-
pioneering firm, Of which his uncle was a
member, and in which he continued until
its dissolution. about year before his
death. He died at Monte Carlo, May Is,
1885, of typhoid fever, contracted at
Naples, and from which he was supposed
to have nearly recovered, when a nervous
shock, caused by an accident while driving
out with his wife, brought on q fatal re-
lapse. He leaves widow and four young
children. He passed away at the early
age Of thirty weight, mt the beginning Of a
career Of singular promise.

The vote of the Grand Army of the
Republic on the So pension proposition
ought to settle that much argued sub
.ject once, and forever. 1t has always
happened that; when the members of
the Grand Army of the Republic have
come together at their annual encamp-
ment, a disposition has been shown to
look upon this pension business and the
question of what special privileges
should be accordedto veterans of the
war in q reasonable and equitable spirit.
But, in the intervals between these gen.
eral gatherings, few schemiug politi-
clans consider it desirable for their own
selfish desires to arouse an interest in
extravagant demands, thinking that
they canin this way secure that person.
81 advancement which they would new
or receive if preferment depended
wholly upon their personal fitness.
They either ignore or are indifferent to
the fact that these attempts to put for
ward veterans of the war as eager beg
bars for public charity has the effect of
lowering in the eyes of their fellow
citizens the reputation of the men who
risked their lives for their country

The waters are beginning to stir al
ready for the next state campaign. The
custom of promoting the lieutenant
governor to the governorship has be-
come SO firmly fixed in our Republican
politics, that undoubtedly Col. Orms-
bee thought when he cleaned out j. X.
Batchelder in the state convention last
year, he had got sure path ahead of
him to the chief magistracy of the state.
But "Batch" is coming up full of fight,
to make the one effort Of his political
life to secure the nomination. He has
friendships, political alliances, and sup
porting influences that will enable him
to make the contest a warm one. For
acknowledgement Hugh Henry of
Chester and H. G. Ide of st. Johns
bury are the aspirants now in sight, and
1t is understood that Henry bitches his
cause to Batchelder's and Ide to Orms-
bee's.-Reformer. "a"

In New Hampshire one district pres
ident has organized twenty-one new
unions this year, no reward but her ex-
penses. This w. G. Il. U. worker is
the mother of eleven children, and be-
lives in home and motherhood to such
an extent, that having made her own
children's home happy one, she sets
out on the larger course that aims to
making all the world homelike." This
example may cheer the hearts of some
who forsee ruin to the homes, when

the regulation Indiana cut, reaching to
his feet, and dark blue coat, all but
toned down before. Whether he also
had on boiled shirt and white tie
could not be discovered. His feet were
bare, and bony. A look of calm and de-
iberate melancholy completed his attire.
He looked a Baptist minister at river

The W. c. II. 7. ladies of Boston,
Mass. have been gatherings few facts
to the cost of liquor drinking in that
city, and find the following. ..
The appropriation for public aims
houses, hospital and court expenses,
ninetenths of which are produced by
the liquor business amounts to 1884,.
366. Nine-tenths of this is paid by tax
payers. Why will the people be taxed
to keep in existance dens of death to
ruin their own sons. Why will people
indulge in the use of intoxicating
drinks, when the result Is SO well known.
How often it is said of one and another
who have filled high positions in life,
drink ruined them, and yet our young
men of to day must and will have theil
dreams, it is passing strange that they
cannot see what the end will be, ulti-
mate ruin and disgrace.

John B. Cough likens the liquor
traffic to a good bowler who hits the
king-pin every time, and with it knocks
down all the rest. When q man begins

Of a steep and smooth vista, inviting

1t is said that there were l 800 fewer
commitments for drunkenness in Bos-

The following story illustrates the
fact that children drink in the truths
presented to them concerning temper
ance. A little boy six years old, While
playing Sunday school with his sister,
offered this prayer. Dear God we
thank thee for all our nice things, and
our beautiful times, and ask thee to
keep us not to drink beer or wine, or
any such thing, but may we drink wa
ter and eat healthy food, Amen. A
grandmother who was interested in
temperance work had given this child
these ideas. What blessing if'every
child could receive similar instruction.
