Death OF Vice-President Hendricks
Hon. Thomas Andrews Hendricks
vice president of the United States,
died suddenly at his home IN Indian
apolis, Indiana, at 5 o'clock Wednes-
day, the 25th inst.
Vice President Hendricks was born
near GAINESVILLE, Ohio, Sept. z, 1919,
being a little past Sc years of age at
the time of his death. His father,
John Hendricks, moved when the
subject of this sketch was six months
old, to Indiana. Mr.. Hendricks grew
up on farm, attended Hanover col
lege, Indiana, where he graduated In
1641. He studied law with an uncle
at Clambersburg, Pa, and returned
to Indiana 10 practice law IN 1643. In
1916, he married Eliza Z. Morgan.
They have no cbildren-an only son
died in infancy. He served two years
in the state legislature and refused to
accept a reelection. In 1851, he was
a member of the convention TO revise
the state constitution. He then serV-
ed two terms liz congress. In 1856
he was appointed commissioner of the
general land Office. In 1860 he was the
democratic candidate for governor OF
Indiana, but was defeated by Henry S.
Lane by 9,757. In 1868 he was chosen
United States senator and served until
1859. He was leader on the demo
cratic side in the senate and has a
record for having made a strong
speech In favor of increasing the pay
of the soldiers and also for supporting
the largest single appropriation ever
made by this or any other country for
war purposes. In 1868 he received 132
votes for the presidential nomination
at the democratic national convention.
That same year he ran for governor
of Indiana and was defeated by GAL

later he defeated Thos. NJ. Brown for
governor by 1, 14s votes. In 1876 he
received 1873 votes for the presidential
nomination and was nominated for

NfIrth as a Medicine.

Mirth has a hygienic value that
can be hardly overrated while our
social life .emains what the slavery
of vices and dogmas has made it.
JOY has been called the sunshine of
the heart, yet the same sun that calls
forth the flower of a plant is also
needed to expand its leaves and RI
pen Its fruits and without the stim-
ulus of exnilarating pastimes perfect
bodily health is as impossible as
moral and mental vigor And, as
a succession of uniform crops will
exhaust the fresh soil, the daily re-
petition OF a monotonous occupation
will wear out the best man. Body
and mind require an occasional
change of employment, or else lib
eral supply of fertilizing recreations,
and this requirement is factor
whose omission often fails the arith-
metic of our political economists.
TO the creatures of the wilderness
affiiction comes generally in the form
of impending danger-famine or per-
sistent persecution and under such
circumstances the notifications of
the vital process seem to operate
against its long continuance we'll
wishing nature sees her purpose de-
feated, and the vital energy flags,
the sap of life runs to seed. On the
same principle an existence of joy
less drudgery seems to drain the
springs of health, even at an age
when they can draw upon the lar
gest inner resources hope, too often
baffied, at last withdraws her aid
the tongue may be attuned to can't
ing hymns of consolation, but the
heart cannot be deceived, and with
its sinking pulse the strength OF life
ebbs away.
Nine tenths of our city children
are literally starving for lack of rec
reation; not the means of life, but
its object, civilization has defraud-
ed them of; they ieel want which
bread only can aggravate, for only
hunger helps them to forget the
misery and ennui. Their palor is
the sallow hue of cellar plant they
were happier. l would undertake
to cure sickly child with the fun
and rye bread sooner than with It'd
bits and tedium.

Some Original Proverbs.

Following are the best of the orig
inal proverbs sent to the London
Truth for the prize competition:
A white lie often makes a black
story.
It's a poor musician who can't
blow his own trumpet.
He who would break the egg must
first break the shell.
Every back has its pen.
Pens and ink out of reach avoid
many a breach.
The present is the child of the
past and the parent of the future.
The want OF money is the root of
much evil.
Egotism is an alphabet with one
letter.
If you'd know a mans character,
follow him home.
Better line Of sense than a page
ofnonsense.
The surest road TO honor is to de-
serve it.
Only whisper scandal and its echo
is heard by all.
It's not the clock with the loudest
tick that goes the best.
Signs are poor things to fly with.
Home is the rainbow of life.
Don't complain of the baker until
you have tasted his bread.
They who live in a worry invite
death by hurry.

Vice Presidential Puryey.

The Vice-President, after dill
gent search and careful inventory,
has discovered that the patronage
at the disposal of the occupant ofhis
high office, is as follows:
l. Private secretary.
2. Telegraph operator for the Sen
ate.
3. Keeper of Senate restaurant.
He is now at work on the matter
of appointments, and hopes to be
able to announce his decision before
the end of this month. While thank
full for all advice rendered in good
faith by Democrats, he is careful to
have it understood that he is Vice
President. and that Grover Cleve-
land must keep at respectable dis
tance and let him alone. The three
appointees will be Jacksonian Dem
ocrats, and the man who feeds at
the restaurant will eat pork and corn
dodger, or he will not eat at ALL

his honor. On the 25th Of July, 1866,
Congress having created the grade of
general of the army, he was commits
stoned general, and Major General
Sherman was promoted to be lieu
tenant general. For a short time
during the memorable contest be-
tween President Johnson and the
Senate, concerning the removal of
Secretary Stanton from office, Cen
eral Grant served as Secretary of
War ad interim. He was nomina-
ted by the republicans for the Presi-
dency in May, 1868; accepted the
nomination in letter which closed
with, 'Let US have peace ;" was cleo
ted the following November, and
served two terms as President. Gen.
Grant quilted Office March 4, 1877,
and on May 18th sailed from Phila-
delphia on the steamer Indiana for
Europe in search of the recreation
and instruction of foreign travel.
The story of his journey around the
world is still fresh in the minds of
the public. The enthusiasm with
which he was received IN every land
reflected that which marked the
popular demonstrations in his honor
in this country, and the honors paid
to him exceeded, in ceremonial mag
niticence at least, those to which
he had been accustomed in his ma
tive land.
When General Grant arrived at
San Francisco, September 10Th, 1879
after having made the circuit of the
globe, his welcome home surpassed
in enthusiasm that ever before Civ
en- by the American people to one of
their fellow-ciiizens. His journey
across the continent was a contin-
ued ovation. After that he made
trip to Mexico, and upon returning
to this country took up his residence
in New York city. The financial
reverses which have clouded the last
months of his life, though they left
no stain upon his honor, called forth
the sincere sympathy of the people,
including those who had served in
arms against him, and served TO add
still further testimony of the great
love and respect with which he is
regarded. During the last few
months Gen. Grant has been occu-
pied in literary work, writing his
recollections of the late war. After
his financial reverses Il proposition
was made in Congress to pension
Gen. Grant, but this Gen. Grant de
clined. A bill placing him on the
retired list, with the rank of gener-
al, was passed on the 4th of March,
and one of the first official acts of
President Cleveland was to sign his
commission.

The Danger of Dyestufrs.

The danger of wearing next to the
skin articles of clothing dyed with
substance obtained from benzole and
other products of coal tar has been
declared many times in letters from
medical men both in this country
and abroad, who have given instan-
ces of the i'll effects caused through
the absorption by the skin of these
irritating and poisonous compounds.
Their warnings are repeated and il
lustrated in a case of exhibits sent to
the health exhibition in London by
an authority on skin diseases. In
this case are specimens of some of
the beautiful aniline colors, rosani-
line, magnetaf violet red, Bismarck
violet, etc, and gloves and stockings
dyed with the substances by which
these hines are obtained that, in cas-
es coming under the treatment of
the exhibitor, had produced erup-
tions on the skin of women and chill
dren, in some instances of a very Sc
we're character.

The First Days of Stockings.

There were no manufactured stock
ings in the days of Lady Macbeth.
A strip of cloth or wooden stuff was
wrapped around the feet and up to
the knees. and held in place by
strings or straps, laced like our shoe
strings Actors of a generation ago
always wore such leggins when per-
sonating Macbeth. A remnant of
these old improvised stockings may
be observed upon the feet of newly
arrived Cinnamon The first manu-
factured stockings of the ancients
were of coarse material and clumsy
fabrication. The first silk stock
ings known in England were knitted
by a lady of the court of Queen Eliz-
abeth for her majesty, who was so
delighted with their softness and
fiexibility that she kept the donor
knitting silk stockings as long as
the august legs needed worldly COW
