UPON A AFRlENDLEse

Who, in taking passage in great trans
Atlantic steamer, does not feel thrill oi
exultation over her magnificent power
Against her the Storm King may hurl his
elemental forces, nor pierce her armor.
nor stop her onward course.
But let me describe scene when, one
morning in mid-ocsan, there came an
alarm from the pilot house followed by q
cry: "The ships rudder is lost p From
the confident expression, CONSERVATION
came to every face. The wheelman being
helpless to direct her course, the vessel
was at the mercy Of wind AMI wave.
The captain had been negligent-the
hangings of the rudder were allowed to
wear weak, and suddenly it had dropped
deep into the sea!
Strong in intellect, in physical vigor,
in energy and in ambition, man confronts,
undaunted, gigantic tasks and commands
applause for his magnificent achievements.
But, all Unexpectedly, an alarm comes
the rudder Of the constitution is gone.
He has been careless of its preservation !;
mental strain, nervous excitement, irregu-
lar habits, over-work, have destroyed the
action of his kidneys and liver. This
would not occur were Warmers Safe

now it may restore vitality to those or
gans and give back to the man that which
will lead him to the haven of his am

from the car track, and my little girl
brings me my lunches twice day, and a.
the lunches are fresh and the coffee hot,

the company for driver to carry on con-
versation while on his Car, but don't do
it, bless you. She carries on the CONVEX
sation all by herself She stands close
behind me and talks faster than the
horses trot, and never stops for streets,
either. She tells me about her mamma
and home, and the neighbors, and her
sell, and the dog, and stand there and
hold my lines and twist the brake and
take it all in with delight. II it weren't

THE WAR OPENED.

We publish in another column 4 Wig
orous and mcrciIcss article from a
prominent Democratic paper-the
Cincinnati EHlHiJgy-attacking Presi-
dent Cleveland and his Admin; tration.
1t is an old maxim, :'Lle ma1bectod al
70ayS habbcls" But il this case it is
not unexpected" that occurs. Grover
Cleveland was nominated and elected
President, with the wholesome assur-
ance of those who urged his election
that he would not prove the kind Of
President that partisan Democrats
hoped he would. Displeased as this
clement of his party was at his nomina-
ton, they had no alternative left but TO
vote for him, under the delusive hope
that he might disappoint those who
urged his nomination. The non-par-
tisan record he had made secured him
his election by the aid Of the Indcpcn-
dent element Of the Republican party.
The latter insisted that Administrative
Reform was the real issue Of the Pres
idential campaign. They urged, with
apparent consistency, that in the adj
ministration Of the Office Of Governor
or New York Mr.. Cleveland had shown
himself to be non-partisan politician,
and if elected to the Presidency, that
he would maintain in that higher Office
the same character; that he would not
betray the principles and views he had
heretofore held-that public Office was
a public trust, and that public officers
should be selected by reason Of their
fitness to discharge the duties of their
positions. Since his succession to the
Presidency, with some minor excep-
tons, he has carried out his political
doctrines by refusing to make the clean

Mrs. Fannie a. Vanderbilt, the wild
ow of Commodore Vanderbilt, died al
9 O'Clock last Monday morning at hel
residence, 10 Washington place. She
had been il! for the last few days witt
the pneumonia. She had been very
low tor two days, and her death was ex,
pected by the physicians. Mrs. Van
dcrjilt was entirely conscious to the
last, and passed away without a strug-
sic. Her mother and brother, with the
lattcr's family, were with her at the last
besides two physicians and the Rev
DR.. Deems. She babe each of them 4
last farewell. The funeral took place
last Thursday.
Mrs. Vanderbilt was the reigning belle
OF Mobile As a young woman IL the
years Immediately preceding the war.
She was not pretty, but was exceeding
ly attractive-"h handsome, ," "stylish,' y
the old beaux say. She n'urried VIM.
II. Elliott a New Orleans lawyer, but
they did not agree, and finally separated
by way OF the courts. For several years
Mrs. Elliott supported herself and her
mother by teaching music. They had
met the Nanderbits before her first mar
riage, and it is said that the commodore,
who admired them, quietly contributed
to their support through her mother, af-
ter hc1 separation from her husband.
Be this as it may, they met again in the
North after the war, and when Mrs.
Vanderbilt died the commodore mari
ed Mrs, Elliott. The old gentleman
left her legacy of SSoo,ooo-SIco, 900
for each year of her life with him-with
nothing in the will to prevent her mar
rying anybody she pleased to marry.
Mrs. Vanderbilt like the commodore,
was great admirer of the Rev. DR..
Deems, of the Church Of the Strangers,
New York City. Vanderbilt University,
at Nashville, Tenn, owes its existence
to the appeals made by DIR. Deems and
Mrs. Vanderbilt to the millionaire, and
MIR. VIM. K. Vanderbilt has since con-
tributed largely TO the endowment.
Mr.. Elliott was well-to do, bat not
rich, and he could not get along with
his mothcrin-law. That was the alleg-
ed cause Of the separation. After the
death of Commodore Vanderbilt his
young widow-she was then only 10
turned longinsly, it is said, to her first
love. At her request, he came from
his Texas home to New York. He was
glad to see her again, but he did not
marry her. He is said to have asked
in Washington the a..vice of an old mu-
tual friend. "Ought | to marry her
again? ?" he asked. " From a worldly
point of view" said his friend, 'you
should, for she is very rich i; bat no
marriage should be thought of, in my
opinion, unless mutual happiness is its
essence" Il don't think | care to
marry her" said her former husband,
''lor her mother is still alive" \ few
years ago it was reported that the wild
ow WAS about to become the third wife
of General Beaurcgard
