The Dead Ex-PreSident.
CHESTER A. ARTHUR,
DIED NOVEMBER 10, 1886.

We give faithful portrait and sketch
of the dead statesman whose loss the
nation is now mourning.
Chester Alan Arthur was the son of
Baptist minister. He was born in
Franklin County, Vermont, October 5,
1880. His father prepared him for
college, and he himself taught school
to raise the means Of taking the full
course. In due time he was graduated
at Union College. Then he taught
school again for two years, saving
enough cash to pay his expenses while
a law student in New York. After
admission to the Bar, he and partner
opened an Office in the Empire City.
Mr.. Arthur, as soon after as he could,
married the estimable lady whom he
survived about six years. their two
children, Nellie and Alan, are living.
Among the young lawyers earliest
clients were colored people, whose
rights he strenuously defended. Pre-
viously Wing, he joined the Republi.
can party at its formation, and served
his country as one of its members. His
title of General was due to his appoint
ment by "War" Governor Morgan of
New York, as Quartermaster-G General.
After the War, his first important ap-
pointment was that of Collector OF the
Port OF New York, from which he was
removed by President Hayes, in 1878,
after nearly seven years. incumbency.
The Republican Convention of 1880
nominated hum for the Vice. Presidency.
He was elected and, on the death of
President Garfield, who had been
elected at the same time as he, became
PRESIDENT. His term of Office began
September 10, 1881, and ended March
4, 1885. Alter leaving the White
House, ex-President Arthur lived M. st
of the Tine in New York, in an i'm
paired condition of health. The I'M
mediate cause of his death was apo
plexy, but he had suffered from COM

Another Life Saved !!
A Student at Montpelier Strick-
en- With Bright's Disease.
RESCUED BY DIR. GAGE.

Probably no physician in New England
enjoys such an enviable reputation for the
cure Of long standing complicated chronic
diseases as Goes DR.. Gage, the noted
specialist of 26 West 31st street, New
York. His success in this part of the
country is indeed phenomenal, and his
cures are unsurpassed by any man living.
He makes no IDLE boasts, nor does he hold
out false hopes to the afflicted, but he is
regular in his visits, honest and frank in
all his dealings, and does not attempt
cases unless he feels sure of success. The
evidence of his skill is not ar-fetched. as
our citizens we'll know but is in our midst,
perhaps one of the most wonderful cures
yet reported is that of the student Of this
village, who, in February last, was slrick-
en- with Brights Disease of the Kidneys.
After treatment by Montpelier physicians
he was removed to his home in Hardwick
to die, as they supposed. The excretions
from the Kidneys We're thick with Albu-
men, and he became terrib y bloated, and
so feeble that he could scarcely raise his
head from the pillow. Finally council
of physicians from Montpelier and Hard
wick gave The patient up as beyond all
help At this juncture messenger was
dispatched to lay the case befo DIR.
Gage, who, thinking it was too lale, re-
luctan.ly consented to treat the case with
out sect G the patient. A happ, deter,
mination it was for the remedies seemed
to act like charm from the first, and the
patient has so far recovered as to feel GER
tain that he has new lease OF life. Last
week he came down to Montpelier to see
the man who has been instrumental in al
most snatchlng him from the grave, and
to express in person his heartfelt gral itude
to DR.. Gage for saving his life Mont

SOCIAL LIFE IN ENGLAND.

The Rev. Henry Ward Beecher Expresses
His Views-What He Saw.
The Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, referring
to his last visit to England twenty-three
years ago, said: "The contrast between
the attitude of England then and now
toward America was striking. Then Eng
lish public opinion was against the United
States The large factory population OF
Lancashire, although suffering from famine
for want of our cotton, sympathlzed
with us in our struggle; but the influential
people of Great Britain were not only opposed
to the sentiment of the north, but to very
great extent supported the south. That has
now been SO changed that it may be said that
there has been complete revolution in the
thought of the people in that respect. l think
that this has been largely brought about by
the increase of travel between the two coun-
tries, enabling us to get better acquainted
with each other"
GAS to the political and social condition OF
the English people, Mr.. Beecher"
"The answer to that is found in what is at
the foundation of all material prosperity,
namely, the land In the relation of the peo-
pie to the land, great and fundamental
changes are going on that are affecting their
social condition from the top to the bottom,
and which will also affect their political con-
dition. For example, land owners who
would formerly obtain from 81 to 9o per
acre for the rent of their land are glad to let
it go for thirty shilings and sometimes can
not get that The consequence is that the
owners of the land, instead of renting to
farmers to middlemen, or to their stewards,
are farming the land under their own dlrec-
ton and are selling the produce direct, either
to the retail dealer or to the consumer. Facts
of this character have forced upon the public
mind questions in relation to land tenure, to
the law of entail and primogeniture, that
hitherto have aided in the intrenchment OF
landed and privileged class accustomed to
separate itself to very great degree socially
from the bulk of the people. Then noticed
there is growing discomfort III regard TO
the public schools, or board schools as they
are called in England. 1t is true that these
schools give free education, but 1t is doled
out more or less as charity.
"When looked at the population OF Lon
don, and caught glimpse now and then OF
its lower strata, was lost in such amaze
ment that was almost dazed. There is
large population there of which we have no
type here-men whose fathers and mothers
were evidently starved, and whose children
have grown up starved; whose lives are OF
the most tentative kind; whose existence
not only a struggle, but a perpetual fight
with famine.-New York Letter.

They Made Him Explain.

A man and his wife, with eight children,
running from babe in arms up to boy Of
H. crossed on the transfer boat recently to
take the Atlantic Express. The children were
chubby, healthy and sunburned. The man
said he was going back to Kansas. In answer
to inquiries he said he had been living in the
state eight years. Some surprise was ex-
pressed by bystanders that man should wish
to return to Kansas after being SO long here,
and he was asked in what part of Oregon he
had been living He said at French prairie
"Good heavens!" said man, "what do you
expect to find in Kansas better than French
prairie!" "Why, that is one of the finest
portions of the state" said another "You
will never be contented to live in Kansas
again" The man looked little sheepish and
said: "Well, you see, my wife's relations live
there, and she kind O. wants to be with them. "

A SAD CASE.

AS illustrating the low prices pre-
vailing in the tobacco market, we
copy the following from the Halifax
Record:
ave hear that a farmer from
this county recently took 1900
pounds of tobacco to Danville. The
price offered was 81 per hundred,
and he allowed no sale, but said he
would move it. He loaded his wagon,
took the tobacco to the canal and
commenced pitching it INTO the
water. A policeman came along
arrested the farmer and he was fined
S20-for throwing tobacco into the
canal. If he had gone to the river
insted, he would not have been mo-
lestead. This was hard on the farmesi
but S12 for 200 pounds of tobacco
is enough to make man desperate.
AS it was doubtless the ruling
market price, however, he ought no.
to have allowed his temper to ge1
ahead of his reason.
