Fred Douglass Place
-FOUR CoLoRED CANDIDATES FOR THE
OFFICE OF RECORDER OF DEEDS

1t seems to be generally accepted
that the office of Recorder of Deeds
of the District of Columbia will be
given to colored man when Frederick
Douglass, m offensive partisan, is re-
moved. SO far no white man has ap-
piled for it, aud, as stated in these
dispatches, there are three colored
candidates, one from Philadelphia, one
from North Carolina and one from
Chicago. When Congressman Spiing-
or learned that his colleague, the Hon.
Frank Lawfer; had discovered col
ored constituent, he Immediately trot-
ted out one of his own, aud went to
the White House with an application
for Charles Nelson, Democratic citi-
zen of Springfield, ILL.,, of African
birth. MIR. Springer does not propose
to be surpassed by any one in his
interest for the colored race, but there
was an intimation from the White
House that the President was not en-
tirely satisfied with the character of
the men who were recommended to
succeed Mr. Douglass. While he de-
sires to give due recognition to the
colored race, he wants the man TO have
superior qualifications. He need not
be as famous as Mr.. Douglass, but he
must be of good business ability and
high character.

A capable writer atfirms that about
one per cent. of all deaths may be
classed as sudden. Of these four out
of five are referable to causes acting
directly on the brain and its append
ages; one in seven to the heart, and
one in seventy five to the lungs. The
sudden death of several noted charac.
ters recently and the fact that many in
their devotions say, "From sudden
death, good Lord, deliver u.s. appears
reason enough for devoting few min
utes now TO the study of this sombre
subject.
Rupture of any of the abdominal
organs, the bursting of internal al
scesses or the rupture of arteries in
this division Of the body has often de-
stroyed life in flash, and the circum-
stances which gave rise to the fatal
event may have been entirely over
looked during life. 1t is quite possible
for certain kidney diseases to exist un-
noticed by the patient, who may be de-
stroyed almost without warning by
uremia, species of blood-poisoning.
Especial importance attaches to
heart disease as a cause of sudden death,
and doubtless some will be surprised at
the previous statement that only one
inl seven cases are referable to this
cause. Degeneration of the tissues of
the heart, neuralgia of that organ,
lamencss of the valves and rupture of
the heart are the most important events
here. Paralysis of the heart is often
set down as cause of sudden death
but this may mean great deal or
nothing. Rupture of large arteries
within tie chest or the transudation of
the liquid part of the blood into the air
cels of the lungs are not infrequent
causes of sudden death.
Brain hemorrhage is very common
and fatal head trouble. In these cases
there is much shock and pressure upon
the brain from the poured out blood.
This last is inevitably fatal when it oo-
ours in the region of the centres that
control the heart and lungs. 1t is prob
able that this form of death has in
creased markedly during the past
twenty-five years, this period having
been one of intense mental activity,
which of itself is not prejudicial unless
there be coincident mental strain in the
shape of anxiety.
Few or none of the events here de.
tailed occur in perfectly healthy per
sons, but in those whose tissues have
undergone structural change, as made
manifest by microscopic examination
1t were idle to say much of the pre-.
vention of sudden death, Prevention
is good, but not popular. When mer
learn how to live and work sudden
death will be unheard of except am ,ne
those who have reached three-score anC
ten or four score years, and then only
occur as a natural process.-TimeS.

A Grand Railway Project.

An international railroad connecting
the North American States with those
of Central and South America, is not
new idea, it having been for some
years in the minds of people who are
not by any means visionary. The
completion of the Central Mexican
railroad, connecting with the railroad
system of the United States, was a
step in that direction. That enter
prise was prosecuted ard completed
without attracting much public atten-
ton and it may be the case that a rail
road extending to Patagonia will be
built before the public is prepared to
hear the announcement of its compile
tion.
The bill introduced into the House
by Representative Curtin for the en-
couragement of commercial intercourse
and the promotion of friendly relations
between the nations of North, Central
and South America proposes an inter-
national railroad traversing the two
continents as the instrument in accom-
pishing those desirable objects. The
bill suggests convention of represen-
tatives of the nations interested, at
which a plan may be agreed upon for
the construction of such a road
through their united efforts.
In this great ssproject, designed to
bring about commercial union of the
American nations, the United States,
on account of superiority of wealth
aud position, will have TO take the
initiative. 1t will not be necessary for
this goverDment to snbsidize the road,
which can be as easily made without
such assistance as was the road extend
ing to tho Mexican capital. The
IL oral encouragement of the project
by such a convention as the Curtin bill
proposes. held under the auspices of so
great a power as the United States,
would insure for il capital sufficient for
its completion.
1t is unnecessary to enlarge upon the
commercial advantages, to say nothing
about the international benefits, OF
which such work would be product.
I'VE. The people of the United States,
on account of their large interests,
would be the principal beneficaries OF
so grand project, in comparison with
which the projected Panama canals
sink into comparative insigni6cance.- -

The New Tax Law,

The followingis condensed summary
of the new tax law, which is to go in
to effect in this State on the first Mon
day of April next:
''The office of collector of taxes was
created by the last Legislature, and
the act provides that such an officer
shall be elected in each borough and
township each year. He shall be
sworn in, give bond for double the
amount of taxes, with two sureties on
bond, and must issue duplicates before
the first of August. Road taxes may
be worked out as heretofore. He
must provide a book, keep an alphabet
ical list of persons, with amount of
taxes, and deliver book to his success
or. When duplicate is issued he must
give notice by ten hand bills, posted in
public places, and all persons paying
their taxes within sixty days are en-
titled TO a reduction of five per cent.
Taxes not paid within six months will
have five per cent added. The col
lector must be at his residence, or
some place designated in the notice,
on the afternoons of Thursday, Friday,
and Saturday of the last two weeks of
the sixty days, from 2 to 6 o'clock, 10
receive taxes. He gets two per cent.
on all paid within sixty days, and five
per cent. on the balance"

Horatio Seymour's Advice to Young Man.

DEAR SIR: l am sorry you wish to
get a place in one of the State offices.
l never yet made or procured an ap
pointment for young man for one of
the clerkships which did not in the
end prove to be a great injury to him.
l look back with regret to my action
in this respect. If you get place, in
little while change will throw you
out, and you will be in worse con-
dtion than ever. Now is the time for
to get some employment which will be
lasting, and in which you can become
skilful, and where you will not be de-
pendent upon others. Any duties
which will give you your food and
clothing are better Tor young man
than any of the places in the depart
ments. You may think you want a
place only for time. ! have heard
that said so often by those who have
meant what they said, and l have seen
1t turn out 30 sadly, that l distrust all
such ideas. You write n good hand,
and you can make yourself useful in
many ways. l am favorably disposed
toward you and your family, and when
l 60 to Albany l shall be glad to see
you. l am in bad health, and am con
fined to my house most of the time.
am very t,uly yours,

His Wife Got the Insurance.

Acurious case was decided by the
Supreme Court on appeal Oh Wednes-
day, Feb. II. Some years ago one
Madeira took out policy of insurance
upon his own life, which was made
payable to his legal representatives.
He was at that time engaged to a
young lady and it was for her exclusive
use and benefit that he took out the
policy, but at her request and from a
motive of delicasy on her part he did
not have it made payable to her.
Subsequently he married the young
lady and after his marriage he frequent
ly declared his intention to transfer
and formally assign the policy to her.
Two months prior to his death he OBJ
tanned for this purpose a blank form
of an assignment from the agent of
the company, which was however,
never executed. He placed the policy,
however IN the custody of his wife,
where it remained until after his death.
He left no children or will and the
simple question presented at the audit
of the account of his administrator was
as to whether the proceeds OF this
policy belonged exclusively to his wife
under the above alleged gift or wheth-
er it belonged to Madeiras legal rep
resentatives. The Orphans Court
thought that under these circumstances
the gift should be regarded as executed
and that therefore the proceeds of the
policy belonged exclusively to the wife
In this they are sustained by the Su
preme Court, which has just affirmed
their decree and dismissed the appoa
of Madeira's next of kin.

Pension Arrearage Bill,

The following from the Chicago
Tribune, gives the views of the lead
ing republican journal of the North
west on the pension arrearage bill:
In sober fact, the pension grab is in
cressing in dimensions that are simply
frlghtful. If the pending Legislation
is consummated, it means burden of
taxation on the people of which they
have no comprehension, and which will
startle them when they realize its full
extent To meet these coloss-
al obligations, aggregating probably
over S500,000,000, with an annual un-
incumbered surplus of about S25,000,,
900, simply means huge deficit, which
must be met by an immense increase
of taxation, involving the possibility OF
the reimposition of the income tax
This is not paying pensions it is pub
Ii: robbery. 1t is shameful attempt
TO squander the public money. 1t i:
inspired not by gratitude for the ser,
vices of soldiers, but by the desire &c
obtain their votes. The country ap
preeiates the services of its soldiers
and has never failed to compensate
them. 1t has been more liberal thar
any nation ON earth in paying pensions
aud it is prepared TO do what is JUS
and equitable, but it will not conseu
TO the squandering of hundreds o.
millions of dollars, the most of whicl
will go into the pockets of pension
sharks, upon those who have no claim
TO arrears and upon those who have NJ
claim OF any kind.

The Hancock Memorial Fund,

The Hancock memorial committee
are making strenuous efforts to render
the movement popular and successful.
Two persons are appointed in each
election district in Montgomery county
to solicit funds and with power to ap-
point subcommittee. The presidents
of school boards and the principals
of private schools are requested to
place ten.cent contribution books in the
hands of every teacher. Each news.
paper in the county also is requested
to receive subscriptions. Mrs. Will
lam II. Holstein will organize ladies
branch of the movement. The endeav.
or is to popularize the movement aud
have every man, woman and child in
the county contribute to the fund. A
memorial has been issued to the people
of the county appealing for aid and co
operation. A large subcommittee has
been appointed for Norristown. The
object is to purchase bronze eques-
trisn statue, to be placed in the public
square, and to cost about $4,000.
George Bullock, the president of the
Hancock memorial fund has pledged
$4,000.
A meeting was held in Philadelphia
last week by the committee of twenty
one to collect subscriptions for The
Hancock memorial fund, appointed by
the Military Order of the Loyal Legion.
Colonel Robert p. Dechert presided.
1t was decided to prepare three ad-
dresses, to appeal for subscriptions, re-
spectively to the general public, includ.
ing volunteer ex.soldiers and sailors OF
the late war; to the companions of the
Loyal Legion, and to soldiers and sail.
ors of the regular army and navy oil
the United States. General Hancock
was the National Commander of the
Loyal Legion, as also of the Depart
ment of Pennsylvania, and the move
ment will be made national. The
money collected will form fund to be
applied to the benefit of Mrs. Hancock.
While the committee will be glad to
receive large subscriptions, no sum,
however small, will be refused. An
executive committee of three was ap'
pointed, as follows: General Robert E
Patterson, Colonel Dechert and julius
A. Keiser. When the addresses are
printed copies will be furnished tc
every newspaper in the United States
