Alexander Hamilton.

Alexander Hamilton was born JNnu-
ary II. 1857, on the Island of Nevis in
the West Indies. His father was a
Scottish merchant and his mother was
the daughter Of a French Huguenot.
He was sent to New York in 1772 and
entered Kings College in 1878. On the
outbreak of host tiles between Great
Britain and the Colonies he adopted
the cause of the latter warmly, and in
1775 wrote n series of articles defend
ing the patriots so ably hat it imme-
diately brought him into favorable no.
tice. In March, l776, he received q
commission rs captain Of artillery /;
served with distinction at the battles of
Long Island, White Plains, Trenton,
and Princeton, and was aid-de-camp to
Gen. Washington, with the rank of
Lieutenant Colonel, in March, 1777.
He was Washington's special friend and
adviser all through the war. He took
an active part in the battle of Mon
mouth, and was highly commended for
his conduct there. In 1850 he married
Eliza a daughter of Gen. SCHUYLER. and
in 1871, after the battle of Yorktown. he
left the army, and, going to New York,
began the study of law. In 1882 he was
elected by the State of New York to
the Continental Congress; in August,
1888, he resigned his scat, and began
the practice of law in New York City,
and by his remarkable talents imme-
diately rose in the first rank of the pro-
fession. In 1856 he was elected q mem
Der of the New York Legislature; in
1887 was n of the delegates to the
convention which framed the Federal
Constitution. He was a strong sup
porter of the Federal party. On the es-
adjustment of the new government,
with Washington as President, Hamil-
ton was made Secretary of the Treas
ury.. To his admirable management OF
the finances the success of the new adj
ministration was largely due. He re-
signed his office in January, 1895, and
returned to the practice of law in New
York. When the army was ~reorganized
in 1893 Hamilton was made a Major
General at Washington's special re-
quest, and on the death of the latter in
1899 he became Commander-in-chief,
but the army was soon after disbanded.
In 1904 Hamilton became involved in a
political quarrel with Aaron Burr,
which u%nhappily terminated in a duel,
wherein the former received a wound OF
which he died on the following day,
July IL. 1904. His death was greatly
lamented. Hamilton was unquestion-
ably n of the ablest statesmen that
ever lived. Talleyrand, the renowned
French diplomat, said, II consider Ma
poleon, Fox, and Hamilton the three
greatest men of our epoch, and without
hesitation l award the first place to
Hamilton" Hamilton's widow died in
1854 at the age of 81. His son, John C.
Hamilton, wrote his life and compiled
his works, and published them in 1851.

Wagner rs a Bow,

Wilhelm Richard Wagner was born
at Leipzig, March %, 1913.
When he was 8 he went to school.
where he was the despair of the teacher
who instructed him in music; he paid
no attention to practicing, but seized
every opportunity of repeating the
melodies that he had heard, especially
those OF Der Freischutz," which had
already kindled his powerful imagina-
ton. Ancient history, mythology,
Greek, and Latin were his favorite stu
dies, but his heart was really in none of
these. for he had a secret aim which alb
sorbed all his thoughts and feelings
he was a poet! In his eleventh wear.
he won a prize for the best poem on a
dead schoolmate, and soon after this
he translated the first twelve books of
the Odyssey. He taught himself En-
glish, and Immediately became so alb
sorbed in Shakespeare that he decided
to write a tragedy. For two long years
he toiled, and during this period he con-
trived to kill off forty-two people in his
drama. He was forced to relent, how
ever, and to recall them as ghosts in
the last act in order to have perform
ers enough to play the parts. Mean
time he had left Dresden, where he
had been living, and entered a school
at Leipzig, but he had SO neglected his
studies for musical composition. that he
was put back a class; this so d~iscour-
aged him that he gave himself entirely
to his tragedy. When he had nearly
finished it. he first heard Beethoven's
music. This had SO strong an influence
over him that he determined to set his
tragedy to music, and purchased a book
on thorough-bass to prepare himself for
the task. So fascinated did he become
with the study, that he determined to be
a poet no longer, but that music should
have the devotion Of his life. When
his family learned of his tragedy, they
were much troubled, for they felt it
was the III of his backwardness al
school: but when they found him 10 be
writing music they were in despair,
for they believed it to be nothing more
than a fancy, and that it might do the
boy great harm. He was not to be dis
couraged, however, and composed in
secret. But at last he was placed nm
der the instruction of Theodore Vein
Zig, a man stepped in the spirit of
Father Bach" who put him through q
six months study of counterpart. Now
he learned and loved Mozart ,-Agatha

A Doctor Of Divinity.

In Mississippi SO many darkies have
claimed exemption from road duty On
the pretext OF being ministers of the
gospel, that some OF the courts have
required that all claiming exemption on
that score shall produce certificates of
ordination OF appointment. At the last
term of Madison County Circuit Court,
Brother Dick Barnes was minus this all
important document and he sought the
advice of a young friend who told him
"he would fix it all right for him to
come back in about ten minutes and he
would have q certificate for him."
While the preacher was gone
the young man stepped across the street
to a drug store and got q "Marsden's
pills" diploma and, placing it in an en-
velope. gave it to Brother Barnes, who
was promptly on hand when the ten
minutes had expired.
When court convened, and it ~as in
order to offer excuses, etc, Brother
Barnes approached the clerks desk and
threw down his certificate and said:
"Thar'smy certify ter preach Their wurd."
The clerk passed the document up to
the Judge. who smiled and remarked:
Uncle Dick, this is a doctors certi-
fcate."

Fighting . Prairie Fire.

In IN article in Outing, Captain
Bourke says "The command was threat
ened by a great prairie fire on coming
down into the broad grassy valley of
the Janos. Under the impetus of q
fierce wind the flames were rushing
upon the camp. There wa not a mo-
ment to be lost. All hands turned out
soldiers, squaws, Chiricahu warriors,
and even children. Each bore q branch
of willow Or cotton wood, q blanket, or
scrap of canvas The confagration
had already seized the Interest nearest
our position, brownish and gray clouds
poured skyward in compact masses, at
their feet q long line OF scarlet flame
flashed and leaped high in the air.

and desolation. The heat created a
vacuum, and the cir, pouring in. made
whirlwinds, which sent the black fun

the symmetry of ~hour-glasses, almost
TO the zenith. For one moment the line
Of fire paused. as il to rest after gaining
the hilltop; it was only o moment.

Meanwhile the fire continued and on
Monday night and Tuesday it ragged
with increasing violence. The very
heart OF the city was now eaten into by
this Unsuitable monster-Soper Lane,
Bread Street, Friday Street, Old Change,
and Cheapside being in one blaze. It
was indeed a spectacle to fill all who
beheld it with CONSERVATION; and that
which followed was vet more terrible.
for already st. Paul's Cathedral was
doomed to destruction.
Threatened on one side by the flames
which devastated Cheapside, and on the
other from those creeping steadily up
from Blackfriars to this great center,
it was now impossible to save the vener-
able church, which Evelyn terms zone of
the most ancient pieces OF early Christian
piety in the world" Seen by the fierce
light and overhung by n crimson sky,
every curve of its dark outline, every
stone of its pillars and abutr,ents, every
column of its incompatible portico,
stood clearly defined, SO that never had
i. locked so stately and magnificent, so
vast and majestic, as now, when beheld
for the last time.
Too speedily the fire advanced,
watched by sorrowful eyes; but even
before it had reached the scaffolding
which 10Y surrounded the building, the
vaulted roof, ignited by showers of
sparks, had burst into flames. Then
followed q scene ~unspeakablv grand,
yet melancholy beyond all telling. In
a few moments q pale yellow light had
crept along the parapets. sending faint
clouds Of smoke upwards, as if more
forcibly marking the course of destruc-
ton. Then came the cracking. kissing
sound of timber yielding to the fire,
and soon n great sheet of lead which
covered the roof, and was said to meas
ure six acres, melting by degrees, down
came on every side a terrible rain of
liquid fire that scanned and burned the
yround. and carried destruction with it
in it's swift course toward the Thames.
And now, by reason Of the fearful
heat, great projections of Portland
stone, cornices, and capitals of column,
lew off before the fire had time to reach

Spiritual and TEMPORAL.

A Maine Sunday School teacher,
bent on clearly defining the relation OF
children to the Episcopal Church. was
anxious to impress on her extraordin-
arily dull class the propriety of beng
confirmed. The age of twelve, follow
ing the usage of the ancient Jewish
Church. was especially emphasized.
After q full discussion of the matter
the teacher tested one of her relatively
brightest scholars by suddenly asking:
Now, what is done to children,
properly instructed, when they reach
the age OF twelve or thereabouts?"
Lick 'eml" was the prompt reply.
Confirmation was not further
touched upon at that lesson.-Boston
