DEATH OF THE ONLY PANTARCH.

Sketch Of Stephen Pearl Andrews, the
Scholar. Writer and Philosopher.
Stephen Pearl Andrews was widely
known, more widely twenty years ago than
at the time of his death. The world at large
is unable to determine whether he was a
crank or the founder of great system of
philosophy.
He was a man OF the strongest intellectual
power. He was one of the leading scholars
OF his time in this country and in Europe,
knowing thirty languages. Had he chosen
the field of politics there was nothing to
which he might not have aspired. So
with any other field of mental activity
But he chose to give it all up and follow out
his one Crank" notion. 1t was that there is
a science of universology, or rather one
science of the universe. All natural sciences
may be traced back to one common one, all
languages the same, likewise all religions
and all governments. They may be brought
into the same circle, so to speak, and reduced
to one That one Mr.. Andrews called the
universal science. He claimed that he had
discovered it, and wrote volume after volume
to expound it.
He had noble, leOnine head and face, not
unlike that of Charles Darwin. His last
great work was the building of a universal
language, by which all mankind might COM
municate and be once more linguistically in
the state in which they are said to have been
previous to the building of the Tower of
Babel Mr.. Andrews called this language
"Alwato" On his system of universology
and his Alwato he worked fifty years without
interruption. He left his great task at the
last unfinished, but in such a forward state
that other scholars may take it up and COM
plete it. His system was called pant tarchy.

So long since they met thine.
Nerveless my hand;
Idly the pulses beat

Heavy to Thee turn.
Ne'er shall her breast
Pillow my aching heal,
Ever in vain
Must the hearts love fire burn,
Knowing no rest,
Gaining new life, though dead!

Grand street IS an overflow Of the Bowery

and early morning, the crowds never cease,
and scarcely seem to grow less ut any hour.
The side streets are lined with Crumbling,

ways, women and babies lounge on the curb
stones, and the older children play in the
