Hon. Thomas A. hendricks, flce-Presldent OF
the United States, died very suddenly at his resi-
dence in the city of indianapolis, Indiana, at
fifteen minutes to five o'clock Wednesday after
noon. He returned from Chicago on Saturday
last and, feeling slightly unwel, took to his bed,
but no serious results were apprehended. Wednes-
day afternoon Mrs. Hendricks left her husbands
chamber to see q friend who had called, being
absent but a few minutes, but when she returned
as he apparently had not moved, and his physi-
clans say it was caused by paralysis of the BRAIN
The sudden and unexpected death of Mr.. Hen
bricks, who occupied next to the highest position
in the gift of the people, was great surprise to
the whole country, and when the sad news was
flashed over the wires, hundreds of kilograms
of sympathy commenced pouring in upon his
bereaved widow, who was almost struck dumb by
the terrible shock. Among the first of these was
from the President, who sent the following:
Executive Mansion, Washington, Nov. Is, 1885.
Mrs. T. A. Hendricks, indianapolis, Indiana !:
The sudden and lamentable death of your husband
excites my profound sympathy for you in this
hour of your great bereavement, and l sincerely
mourn the decease of one so lately associated with
me in the execution of the peoples high trust,
while the nation mourns the loss of an honored
citizen and faithful public servant.
GROVER CLEVELAND.
Mr. Hendricks was not wealthy man, al
though he leaves a moderate competence. He
was in the front rank of the lawyers of Indiana,
and for many years enjoyed lucrative practice
He was highly esteemed by all his neighbors,
Republicans and Democrats alike, and although
he was always dignifed he was kind and gener-
GUS to all. He leaves no family, his only child
having died in infancy.
As might be expected the death of man so
prominent in the affairs of the Nation is causing
wide and varied comment, but happily the law
provides for such contingencies and there need be
no uneasiness felt among the people. The affairs
of our Government will go on just the same as
though Mr.. Hendricks had lived out his term
of office, and while we, in common with the peo-
pie of thewhole country, mourn his death, we have
no apprehensions for the future.
1t will now become the duty of the U. S. Senate,
when it meets next month, to elect presiding
officer in place of Mr.. Hendricks, and that officer
whoever he may be, becomes Vice-President Of
the United States The Senate has Republic
can majority, and of course the presiding officer
to be chosen will be member Of that party, SO
that the country will have Democratic President
and Republican ice-President

Essay.On TOothache.

From the Pittsburgh Chronicle.
There are a great many alleged cures
for the tooth ache, such as hot poul-
tices, cayenne pepper, dynamite, to-
bacco, etc. IF the sufferer is not adj
dicted to the use of the ,last-named
remedy, it might give him temporary
rel1ef-that is, it will make him so hid
eoussly sick that he won't have time
to think about anything else than the
trouble with which he is graphing
One chew of tobacco will give such q
person about an hours relief from
toothache-then look out. Perhaps
the best remedy IS to sit on a
dentists doorstep; sometimes look
ing at his sign is all that is necessary.
Still, it is best not to trust too inn
plicitly on this means of relief. I have
known people to travel for miles in
search of dentist, and when they
finally reached his door the toothache,
would disappear, and they could only
look foolishly in the servant s face who
answered the door-bell, and say they
didn't want anything-that they had
pulled the wrong bell, etc. And Ihave
known those same people to go home
grinning all over at how they had out
witted their teeth and saved so cents
into the bargain; but the moment
their own door was reached there;
came blood-curdling, nerve harrow
ing, hair-raising twinge of pain, and
the accompanying shrek of agony told.
that the "battle was on once more, D.
and the dentist several miles away
Then the first performance was re-en--
acted, with the exception that the
sufferer walked right in and sat down
in the inquisitorial chair, and had the
offending tooth removed without any
more ceremony than being hauledtroma
his seat and around the room at the
end of a pair of forceps. It is an ex-
perience that once enjoyed is never
forgotten; it will return at the dead
hour of midnight to threaten a man
until he is almost scared out of his
boots-if he happens to have them on.
at that unseemly time. It will cast a
shadow of gloom over the most soul
satisfying enjoyment in the world to
think that in another hour fellows
wisdom tooth will resume it's satur--
nalian orgies, and make him regret
that he was ever born.

them severely for what they had al

''Two others did not like this propo-

the end of it was that they all finally
resolved to desert the vessel in body,
and make for an island they saw in

US at liberty. They took the launch

useful things from the ship.
With the cook and steward, there
now were only five of us to work the
ship. A few days later, however, we
shipped some Portuguese sailors from
the Felix Islands, off which we then
lay becalmed.
GAS these men wanted to go to Sgd

promised them I would make a
straight wake for that place, I was
obliged to head in that direction, in

been left.

for this isle, off which, it seems, ar

share of our profits is with mine, safe
under lcck and key, aboard ship"
A fewdays later, Captain Cavendish,
now the fortunate possessor of many
thousands, sailed away with his wife
from the island. In due time the hap
py couple reached London, and on the
outskirts of that city they erected
comfortable cottage-their future
home.

When to her feetshe captive brought

To be regarded as her lover,

GROWING OLD.

Growing oldl The pulses measure
Keeps it's even tenor still;
Eye and hand nor fail nor falter,
And the brain obeys the will;
Only by the whitening tresses,
And the deepening wrinkles told,
Youth has passed away like vapor;
Prime is gone, and grow old.
Laughter bushes at my presence,
Gayyoung voices whisper lower,
II dare to inger by it,
All the stream of life runs slower.
Though love the mirth OF children,
Though prize youths virgin gold.
What have to do with either?
Time is telling-I grow old.
Not SO dread the gloomy river
That I shrank from so OF yore;
All my first OF love and friendship,
Gather on the further shore.
We're it not the best to join them
Ere feel the blood run co1d?"
Ere I hear it said too harshly,
''Stand back from us-you are old. !"
