A Good Story of the Author Of"Van
ity Fair"

Thackeray, though he satirized snob-
berry with pen of fire, appreciated the
advantages IF high rank ana all that it
implies, and he did not hesitate to write
that even the heart of stern moralist
would throb with pleasure if he
could be seen walking down Pail Mall
arm in arm with two dukes.
While standing in the window of the
fashionable Somerset club, looking out
UPON the passers-by, Thackeray said to a
friend:
L haven't seen in this country any
men with the stamp of high social caste
such men as combine brains and blood
in the British peersge. Have you no
such men in Americap
The Bosten club man replied that we
had. and was going on to illustrate the
subject, when Thackerays quick eye
caught sight of two diguilied and court
ly looking gentlemen walking arm in
arm on the opposite sidewalk.
There he said. ARE the sort of men |
mean. They look as if they were born
dukes
The great writer had seen two of the
most democratic of Bostonians, both of
whom, however, had more brains and
dignity that most wearers of cOronsts.

ARE the offspring of short parents
short, and do the children of tall persons
grow to be unusually tall? Such ques-
tiUa a Scotch scientist recently asked
himself, and he set to work TO gather
some statistics of stature. His data con-
sists OF the heights Of $50 adults and of
their respective parents. 205 Of each sex
in number, or, altogether. Of l.340 obser+
vations. 1t was shown that the differ
eRce between the heights of the two par
snts might be disregsrded, having on the
whole an inconsiderable effect on the
height Of the offspring. 1t was also
shown that marriage selection takes lit
tie or no account of shortness or tallnssss.
rhe general result was that where the
mean height OF the two parents were
greater than mediocrity, their children
tend to be shorter than they.

The deficiency in postal revenues this
year, according to the estimates Of the
Third Assistant Postmaster General. will
amount to S8,OO0.OOO. The deficiency is
due apparently to three causes. The
ehisf of these, In the opinion of the dst
partment, is the fact during the last year
business has bsen depressed. and so the
commercial use Of the mails has been
less than usual. The reduction in rates
from three cents TO two cents Is regarded
as the next most potent facter, but the
loss at that point is one that the country
has chosen to endure in the con viction
that cheap postage is public benefit out
weighing the incidental loss Of revenue
The third cause of loss is one that was
thrust upon the service by uncalled for
legislation. At its last session Congress,
without a shadow of reason and in direct
violation Of the principles upon which
our postal system rests, raised the weight
unit of letter postage from one half
ounce to one ounce. II simply excused
those who chose to send double letters
from the necessity OF paying the extra
postage and required the Government to
pay half their postage for them. 1t ben
efited small class at the expense of the
public.

FOR ALL WHO DIE.

The following poem is said to have
bssn regarded by Edgar Allen Poe as the
most beautiful and touching of its kind
in the language:
1t hath been said for all who die
There is tear,
Some paining. blseding heart to sigh
Ger every bier;
But in that hour Of pain and dread
Who will draw near
Around nay humble couch and shed
One farewell tear?
Who'll watch the 6rst departing ray
In deep despair,
And soothe the spirit on its way
With holy prayer?
What mourner round ny couch vii
come
10 words Of woe
And follow me to my long home
Solemn and slow?
When lying on my earthly bed
In icy sleep
Who then by pure affection led
Will come and weep?
By the pale moon iB plant the rose
Upon my breast
And bid it cheer my dark repose
My lonely rest?
Could but know when | an sleeping
Low in the ground,
One faithful heart would be keeping
Watch all around,
AS if some gem lay shrined beneath
That cold sod's gloom,
'Tweuld mitigate the pangs Of death
And light the tomb.
Yes. in that hour II could but feel
From the halls Of glee
And beauty's pressure enc would steal
In secrecy,
And come and sit or stand by me
In nights deep noon,
Oh, | would ask Of memory
No other booH.
But ah, q lonelier fate is mine,
A deeper woe;
Frem all I've loved in youths sWeel
time
/ soon must &c.
Draw ronnd me my pale robes OF white
In dark spot
To sleep through deaths long dreamles
night,
Lone and forgot.

The Hendricks Funeral.

The Hendricks funeral ceremonial vas
grand and imposing. and at the same
tine of touching character in the great
exhibition Of sympathy with domestic
affiiction. Governor Hendricks did not
rank with the first order of American
statesmen. and the position he held was
deveid Of patronage and power. How
then did this general and sincere express
sion of q state and nations grief come
about, participated in by all classes
men, women and children-all trades
and professions? We catch glimpse
of the why and wherefore. in this bit of
close analysis frem the Chicago Herald
He may be remembered long in the
traditions ard legends of his party, and
no one in it be able to point to any line
upon our history or any statute among
our laws written by his hand.
"But his life demonstrates that man
may be a politician by choice from his
majority to his death, and never become
thief. His character is proof that q
politician may dwell in the temptations
and snares of a social atmosphere eharg-
ed with loose personal morality, and yet
90 down into his grave with his honor
as a man unstaiDee, leaving to his fam
lily that which human nature prizes
above all earthly dignity in man or wo>
man. We have had men Of greater in
tellect of whom this cannot be said. The
Itriumphs recorded of them fade into in
significance beside the personal virtue
whose luster will endure in the homage
of his country after turgid inscriptions
have mouldered from ether tablets and
majestic statues have fallen from their
pedestals. The devotion of the elder
Fox to the wife whom he ran away with
to wed redeems in large measure a pol
luted public career; and it was not the
least creditable trait in the foremost of
British statesmen that Macauley should
say of him that he was uxOrious. In an
age as low in tone as that Of Lord Hol-
land and Pitt it has become almost IN
manly that public man should be in
private a man of virtue, and in his fam
lily model for his children and faith
full companion Of their mother. The
narrowness of Hendricks political mind
will speedily be forgotten. But the fact
that his public life was honest and his
private life spotless will be remembered
to comfort and soothe those who will
grieve for him longest and most deeply.
and will not be forgotten by his country
men,"
II may be added that while the public
sentiment of this country is widely at
variance on numberless questions of a
political, social and religious character
there is no division as to the grand attir
tudes of personal integrity in public sta
ton, personal honor in politics, and per-
sonal purity In private life.-Pittsburgh

had been very i'll for several years, had ex>
pended all of her means to pay for medicine.

must die. He suffered so terribly with rhsu-

powers Of their Extract CT Roots was so con>

the means of curing her son. The Shakers
say that this was the result of indigestion, and
that the medicine cured the dyspepsia, and
that the rheumatism was only symptom of
