TiIden Reads the News

NEW YORK, Nov. 27.-The Sun this
morning says: When the news of the death
of Mr.. Hendricks reached Greystone on
Wednesday night Samuel J. Tilden had
gone to bed, and it was thought best not to
disturb him. When he came down to break
fast yesterday morning he read the news in
the newspapers. 1t was great shock to
him, for his relations with Mr.. Hendricks
have been of most friendly nature, and
Mr.. Hendricks had often been a visitor at
Greystone. Mr.. Tilden at once directed that
the flag on his tower be run to half-mast, and
fastened to send a message of coincidence
to Mrs. Hendricks.

Thanksgiving Day Abroad.

New YORK, Nov. 26.-Advices from
New England, the Middle Atlantic and
Southern states, indicated very general
observance of Thanksgiving day by sus-
pension of business. In most churches in
which religious services were held refer
ence was made to the death of Vice Presi-
dent Hendricks. In this city flags every
where floated at half-mast. The day was
observed as usual with a football game,
this time between the Yale and Weslyn
college teams, the former winning by a
score of 81 to 0; by races at Brighton Beach
etc., and by bands of small boys parading
the streets in masquerade costume.

New York.
NEW YORK, Nov. 26.-The general
feeling in Democratic circles in regard to
the taking off of Mr.. Hendricks is that of
hearty and quickspoken regret, while all
regrets have ground work in the question
as to who will be his successor as president
OF the senate. In Republican cirles the be-
lief is often expressed that Gen. John A.
Logan or Hon. John Sherman will be
elected. Both Tammany and the County
Democracy hold meetings tomorrow to
take action, and Irving Hall act Saturday.
Local district associations are also holding
meetings for like purposes. The World
representative last evening interviewed
Henry Ward Beecher, who said:
While regard President Cleveland as the
prince of statesmen, 1 would call Mr.. Hen
bricks the prince of politicians. Mr.. Cleve-
land has fulfilled every desire of those indie
pendent-thinking men who sought to secure
his election. He has endeavored to serve the
people, not party alone. On the other hand,
Mr.. Hendricks has ever identified himself with
that class of men who subordinate everything
to party. He was staunch believer in the
rule that ito the victors belong the spoils. -
While the family OF Mr.. Hendricks has my
deepest sympathy, my heart is filed with
thanksgiving that President Cleveland and
1.-THE government at Washington still live"
Jay Gould said Mr.. Hendricks death
would not effect the material interests of the
country. There are IS, 600, 900 people here
who can take care of themselves in every
emergency. and the death of even the great
est man among us would not cause ripple.
AS for the market, he did not believe the
news would affect it in the least.

become the trusted counselor and familiar
friend of very many citizens of the state. A
sweet temper, engaging manners and wide
scope of intellectual vision enabled him to
engage in party conflict without that acerbity
and bitterness which engender personal hos
tility and leave painful memories. In
honor of his memory the state house will be
draped in mourning, the flags on all public
buildings will be displayed at half-mast, and
the national guard will wear the usual in
sigma of sorrow for the customary period,
aud it is recommended that all public offices
be closed upon the day of the funeral, and
that full expression be given to the general
grief. Given under my hand.

SaturdaY Review 1


 Among the plaques which infect An glo-Amerlcar steamers are race of men who play the noble game of poker from the Mersey to Sandy Hook and from Sandy Hook to the Mersey Of course, if they played 1t in strict seclusion they ought not to be molested. Every human being had a sacred and indefeasi sible right, even before the American consti- tution was invented, to waste his or her own time in his or her own way. To question this would be to tamper with the foundations of everything. But the liberty which involves compulsion of your neighbors is, as great philosopher would have said, of spurious or mixed kind, which even the highest priests of " individualism are not bound to en- courage. Poker may be the most exalted form of intellectual exercise in which, with his limited faculties, man is capable of indulging. To make life unendurabl for all who do not play poker is a kind of missionary enterprise not part of the inalienable birthright of every free man whose proud boas, to the tyrant and the oppressor is that his home is in the set ting sun. We are we'll aware that the axiom Every man may do as he damn pleases is dependent on the condition that every man does not include a nig- ger or a Mexican" But it has never been held to exclude quiet people who have taken (and paid for) their passage from New York to Liverpool. Such, however, seems to be the construction taci,ly placed upon it by certain devotees of poker worship who patronize the steamers of very fashionable English line " between those two commercial cen. ters. These gen;l.men, if we may em. ploy the word for once in the sense given it by every charlatan, establish them selves in the smoking room as their own peculiar keep. They garrison it like d fortress, and consecrate it to the service of their favorite game. "For a day or two," says tue complaina previously cited, "the outsider was allowed his cor. ner, but after that the mysterious and occult worship of poker admitted of nc intruders" Play or treat" was the motto, and the only other course was de. parture.

New York Sun.'

De Quincey is particularly unsatisfac. tory and even exasFerating. To peruse one of his papers is like being called away after the first course of good din- ner, when you have scanned the bill of fare and have had a sample of the skill of the culinary artist. An essay of De Q lincey's is all vestibule; you press forward eagerly to enter the temple, and bump your nose on blank wall. He tried innumerable flights, but nis broken wing refused to carry him. If we excep, two or three short stories and as many Acquisitions, everything he wrote was rambling, fragmentary, scintillative there was no coherent, straightforward, exhaustive exposition, no prolonged and steady radiance. Yet there are flashes in him that light up many dark cranny in history and criticism, and it is amazing how much recondite and excursive erudi- tion he had managed to acquire, though probably no man ever vas so learned as De Q iincey could make himself appear to be.

Him for all His gracious gifts.
Therefore I, Grover Cleveland, Presi-

usual places of worship, and with prayer and
songs Of praise devoutly testify their graft
tude to the Giver of every good and perfect
gift for all that He has done for us in the year
that has passed; for our preservation as a
united nation and for our deliverance from
the shock and danger of political con-
vulsion: for the blessings Of peace
and for our safety and quiet while
wars and rumors of wars have agitated and
afflicted other nations Of the earth; for our
security against the scourge Of pestilence,
which in other lands has claimed its dead by
thousands and filed the streets with mourn.

that a kind and thoughtful remembrance of
the poor will double the pleasures Of our con-
