The Great Francis Bacon.

Francis Bacon was born in 1851.
He was thus Shakspeare's senior by
three years. His father was lord
keeper OF the great seal, an eminent
scholar, patron OF art and literature.
The mothers OF great men have often
been remarked upon, and Bacon's
was eminently worthy of her distin-
guished son; an estimable lady, pious,
shrewd, affectionate, and, in the best
sense of that age, accomplished;
learned among learned women, a cap
able authoress, yet motherly among
mothers. Bacon was the son of old
age; precocious, but not ephemerally
so, for his genius went on expanding
through all his life. His imagina-
ton, differing from that ofmany other
men, deepened, heightened, widened
with his years. He had ample access
in his fathers home to books. Astu-
dent of Cambridge at the age of IL, he
was at 16 wiser than his teachers. In
1915 he entered Gray's Inn on his
legal career. Next year he was sent to
Paris as one of the suite of Sir Amias
Paulet, the English ambassador. He
travelled on the continent with the
with French, Italian and Spanish. On
his return to England he bore q dis
patch to the Queen from the ambas-
sador, in which he is referred to in the
most f1attering terms. In his Oath
year he entered Parliament, and soon
exercised a remarkable ascendancy.
The author of many beneficial meas,
ures, he was at all times the chosen
representative of the commons in
their conflicts with the peers and the
crown. His wisdom, patriotism, and
eloquence were conspicuous. Careful
of the interests of the people, he was
at the same time loyalin his allegiance
to the crown. His powers of persua-
sion were uniformly employed in fur
thering and reconciling the welfare Of
all concerned. Jonson bears tribute
to his eloquence.
There happened" he says, Gin my
time one noble speaker, who was full
of gravity in his speaking. His Ian
guage, where he could spare or pass by
a jest, was nobly censorious. Norman
ever spoke more neatly, more weight
lily, or suffered less emptiness, less
idleness, in what he uttered. No men,
Der of his speech but consisted of his
own graces. His hearers could not
cough or look aside from him when he
spoke, and had his judges angry or
pleased at his devotion. No man had
their elections more in his power.
The fear of every man who heard him
was that he should make an end"
The Warner sun. (Warner, Brown Co., Dakota [S.D.]) 1885-1???, 1886-12-31
A Miss ourian in Church.

A story was told the other day in
Washington about Jim Green of Mis-
souri,, a character of the ante-bellum
days. Green always made a point of
the fact that, so far AS he knew, he
had never been to church in his life.
He had been to camp-meeting once,
he said, but he did not remember that
very well, and he really had no idea
what achurch service was like. Some
of his colleagues IN the senate labored
with him to get him to go to church
just to hear what he would say about
it when he got back. 1t took three or
four weeks Of persuasion, bnt
finally Green went to church.
When he got back Co luncheon at
his hotel a large circle of friends
sat solemnly awaiting his report.
"What church did you go tor" was
the first question asked. 81 don't
know, I'm sure" replied Green; stit
was a brown church up on Third
street" They gathered from this that
hehad attended old Trinity Episcopal.
"Well, what did you think Of it?"
they continued. "Oh, I'm not a very
good Judge of churches" said Green;
"haven't / told you that i never was
in a church before in my life? ! don't
know anything about them" ooh,
WE'LL" they persisted, what did you
think OF this one anyway" "Well,"
said he, eff you must haveit, Thought
there was too much reading of the
journal and too little general debate"
And this brought down the house.

Kentucky Boys Now and Fifty
Years Ago.

From the Spirit OF the Times
Uncle Grip, one of the oldlandinarks
of Lexington, explains the difference
in both appearance and conversation
OF the young men fifty years ago and
now. Yes says he, FIFTY years ago
US young men often met in our Ken
lucky jeans and cowhide boots, and
some barefooted, with .Howdy. Jack,
how is all the folks at home? Father
well? Mother we'll? Your crops good
this year, oh, yes; the crops are
fair to middlin' this year. Our work
is about done, but we must all 60
over and give Sam Anderson a days
work to help him out, for he has been
sick and away behind So, you see,
us boys sort of talked about farming,
postum hunting. &c.
Now, when young men meet, it's
'Halloo, there! Where did you get
that breech -loading gun aud that Irish
setter?' why, Col. Thompkins
brought this gun from England; he
bought it for my birthday present.
Only cost $3.50, and the dog ! gave
445O for, and he is worth three times
that price Well. here comes Mai.
Jones youngest son, Tommy. Halloo,
Tommy! Did your brothers horse win
at Saratoga yesterday Yes, he won,
but Ihave ayoung Hindoo,out OF Col.
Clay's best mare there he repeats the
pedigree of dam and ~sirethirty genera
tIons back) which ! am going to enter in
the Kentucky and American Derbies.'
Yes, and here comes Gen. Smiths boy
Willie, with q trotter bred at Ash
land Park. 'HalIoo, Williel' Halloo.
boys Now they talk gun, dog, i
horse, trotter, &c. All those boys
with stand-up collars, fine clothes,
turned-up toes to their shoes, tight
pants, &C."

Some of Them Work.

The people who suppose that the
government employee does not work
are mistaken in some cases, says a
Memphis Avalanche correspondent,
writing from Washington. The writer
says in support OF his assertion:
1t is not merely the private secre-
taries who work LONG hours. The
members of TIE cabinet themselves
do SO. Take a walk past the resi-
dences of any of the cabinet officers,
and you Are liable to see the lights in
their studies burning until midnight.
They have their desks in their houses
and work there at all hours. The
President puts in long hours. He is
an early riser, and it is no uncommon
thing to know that he is closeted with
some member of the cabinet, or Col.
Lamont, until midnight, or later,
hard at work. Take a walk past the
treasury any night. and you will see
large numbers of the rooms lighted up
and employees at work catching up
with the work Of the Office. Only the
other day | heard an employee in one
OF the divisions of the treasury say to
one OF his feliow-cierks: II will be
down to the Office ats s o'clock to-
morrow, to help get that work up"
There are lots OF them who take their
work to their homes with them. This
is especially the Ease with the PROBES
sion in the scientific resumes. They
