The death Of Vice President Hendricks
and the election OF president of the
senate, who in the event of the death,

land becomes president, has caused much
Interesting discussion. The accession of
yice-presdent to the presidential chair,
says the Baltimore Sun, has happened but
four times in the history OF our govern
ment, and IL but vaguely understood. 1t
~ a curious fact thatno vice president has
ever llllod out his term after his accession
to the presidency with satisfaction TO the
party that elected him. Vlce-presidents
have been elected after serving the second
Office and have carried out that which was
expected OF them, but there seems ia
tally In the accession of ce-presidents,
through the instrumentallty OF death
The first proof OF this was In 1871,
when, for the lirst time, death removed a
president.
William Henry Harrison had been
elected, after NEST animated campaign,
over Martin Van Buren,. He had been in-
auguNted bnt month when he was
brought to bed by bad cold contracted
while marketing. He fingered nine DAYS
only, nut his death on April ( was no sur
prise, John Tylert the ylcc-presldent, was
at his home in Williamsburg, Va, when
son of Daniel Webster, the messenger
from the cabinet, made known the death
oil Harrison aud the vacancy. A govern.
ment steamer had been sent from Wash.
ington, and the vice-president was IN the
capital within forty-eight hours. He had
u notion he was qualified for the prosi-
dental functions without renewing the
oaths originally taken when he was sworn
In as vice-presldent. The cabinet, headed
by Webster, met him at his hotel and
prevailed upon him to defer TO the
scruples OF the law officers and the preiu-
dices OF the people, bur he left his protest
on the District records.
Acrid as the political personalities OF
modern politics arc, and ram orous as the
hates with which factions pursue each
Other, the Tyler episode Is perhaps the
most heated Ia the history OF administers
tlons, President Tyler setN TO work to
defeat every policy dear to the heart OF
tho opposite faction of his day. He vetoed
cherished measures 81 his party; he dis.
missed all OF the cabinet Of Harrison save
Webster but even he was aiterward forced
to retire. The Wings grew Indignant
over their betrayal, and IN an address to
the country declared the president an i'm.

EX-GOVERNOR HUBBARD.
The Silver-TOngued Orator OF Texas
Receives Very UncOmpliment-
ary Mention.

The New York Mail and Express,
in o recent dispatch from Washing
ton, says:
ex-governor Hubbard, of Texas,
was appointed minister to Japan by
president Cleveland, in the early days
Of his administration. If half the
stories told of him are true, the ex.
governor of Texas, who now serves
his country at tho court of the mika-
do, must be arum old chap. He asked
free passage for himself and family,
seven persons in all, and free freight
for his household goods from San
Francisco to Yokohama on the Pa
cilic Mail steamer, and this courtesy,
representing more than $4,000, was
given him. At the dining table he
made free with the wine list, order
ing Sauterne of the best quality for
breakfast, claret for lunch and cham
pagne for dinner.
In addition to this, as he sat on
deck in the evening or had rubber
at whist in the smoking-room, he
kept the stewards busy mixing slim
ulants and restoratives, of which he
generously invited those who sat in
the sunshine of his presence to par
take. At the end of week, as usual,
his wine bill was presented to him, as
to the other passengers. He refused
to pay it, on the ground that he was
the guest of the company; and when
the chief steward explained that the
company held him responsible for all
the wines, and deducted from his sal
airy the cost of every bottle that was
not accounted for, governor Hubbard
denounced him for insolence, and
complained to the captain. The lat
ter defended the steward, and said
that the bill must be paid but it was
not, and never has been. The gov
ernor did not order any more wines,
and the only refreshments he had
during the rest of the voyage were
paid for by other passengers. Upon
the return of the steamer to San
Francisco, the steward presented the
American minister's wine tickets to
the superintendent Of the company,
Mr. Moxley, who forwarded them TO
the board of directors at New York,
with Recommendation that the stow
lFd be released from responsibility,

and he wore very high stock neckties,
out Of which Peeped his standing

well, though he did not make his
