JOHN WANAMAkER

Will He Be q Member OF Mr. Harrison's
Cabinet?
John Wanamaker, of Philadelphia, the
proprietor Of the Bon Marche of America, is
prominently mentioned for portfolio in
the cabinet Of Benjamin Harrison, president
elect
John Wanamaker is celebrated through
the United States as great merchant, q
tender hearted, able man and philan-
thropist.
His gifts to the poor Of Philadelphia have
been generous and many His munificence
has been excelled by few Americans of this
century.
He was born in Philadelphia about fifty
one years ago. His parents were poor, and
his father, a bricklayer, was unable to give
John anything more than 1udimentary
education. He was close student, how
ever, and though compelled to 60 to work in
a small clothing store at the age of IA, he
had given promise of business sagacity and
enterprise. His wages at first were $3.50 a

CRESCENT BEACH AFTER THE STORM.
then there will be curve inland, forming a
bay. Many vessel has been wrecked trying
to weather one of these points of land when
the wind was blowing hard from the north
east.
To this irregularity of the Atlantic sea-
board, and also to the fact that the Atlantic
is the stormiest sheet of water on the globe
take 1T all the year round-may be attributed
SO many shipwrecks reported along the coast
every year. The wind blows up and down
the Pacific coast but Oh the Atlantic easterly
and northerly winds arc prevalent ut certain
periods. The recent gale, which did so much
damage, was from the northward and east
ward. When you walk along the beach at a
seaside resort on some fine summer day,
when the sun is out and light breeze is
blowing and everything is lovely, it is hard
to conjure up from your imagination the op-
posite picture-a sky black as ink, the sea
running from twenty to forty feet high, the
waves rolling up on the beach, the spray fly
ing landward and all the terrors of a storm.
The recent storm was worse than any which
has visited the Atlantic coast for years.
Houses were blown down, q hotel went float
ing out to sea, q lightship got adrift and a
pile of wrecks was strewn all along the coast.
OF all the watering places, perhaps Atlantic
City suffered the worst. Almost every cot
tage on the beach was damaged, and the
Half Way house, which has been such
familiar object to visitors, was completely
demolished. All along the New England
coast wrecks were reported, and the damago

Helplessi alone stand! Give me your hand,
Lead me across LIES turmoil and despair!
Take me away to Loves sweet blossom land,
Out Of this darkness into light and air!
Give me your hand! to wander thro my hair.
To pass across my forehead; let it touch

That may wake to SEQ life's loveliness,
And gaze into mirror'd Paradise,
Where we may wander on, no less! no less!

Unfold your SOUL discover how your heart
Trembles ut loves awakening Ahl you

Your woman's sanctity; the counterpart
OF gifts the angels gave you that endure!
Give me your heart! that may set it round
With pearls Of prayer, and rosaries recite
OF deep thanksgiving! Let me feel I've found
A way to peace out Of ife's dark night!

AS TO JOHN BRIGHT.
THE STURDY CHAMPION OF FREE
DOM AND HIS LIFE WORK.

His Abiding Love for and Faitl, IN the
Un:tea St.tcs-some Notes Of His Home
Lifo and His Personal Peculiarities.
Els Strength of Character.
The prolonged sickness of John Bright, the
Quaker gentleman, the man of the people,
the British friend Of the United States, has
drawn to him once more many hearts that
had been partially estranged by recent politi-
cal divisions. To Americans his personality is
specially interesting, for he was chief Of that
stalwart band which included Richard Cob
den, John Stuart Mill, Miner Gibson and
other great intellects who stood firmly by the
United States during the late civil war, reso-
lutely resisted all projects to aid in the disso-
luton of the Union, and befriended Henry
Ward Beecher during his remarkable mission
in England.
John Bright's home is at Rochdale, in
Lancashire, and he is a thorough Lancashire
lad" by birth, training and instincts. Though
Quaker, and occasionally holding forth in
their meetings, he does not wear their dis
tinctive garb, but dresses in black broad
cloth of the conventional cut and with great
neatness. as becomes leading member of
parliament. he is, or rather has been,
broad faced, ruddy, stalwart Englishman,
fond of fishing and all proper open air sports.
He knows no language but English, but he is
perfect master OF that. His majestic figure
commands attention; his clear, bell like voice
enables him to address the largest audiences
any hall in England will hold, and his keen,
incisive sentences are the delight of the
hearers. In parliament no other speaker
could hold the house SO long or SO COM
pletely; and the words, "Bright's up!" would
cause ell immediate rush of members from
hall and restaurant to their seats. Glad
stone is a more ornate speaker, Latinist,
but Bright holds the audience best.
Rochdale, his home, is typical Lancashire
town, with rather close and dirty streets;
there is, of course, much poverty and the peo-
pie speak the most pronounced dialect now
heard in England. But it is noted as place

THE LATE MRS. SHERMAN.

Her Death Took Place Recently in the
City of New York.
On the 1st of May, 1850, wedding took
place in government circles in a house on
Pennsylvania avenue, at Washington. The
daughter of Thomas Ewing, secretary Of the
interior, was married to a young officer OF
the army, Capt. w. T. Sherman, who had
been adopted when child by the brides
father. President Taylor, Daniel Webster,
Henry Clay and Thomas H. Benton were at
the wedding, but doubtless no one of the
company thought that the young groom was
to achieve fame that would equal that OF
any Of the distinguished guests.
Ellen Boyle Ewing was 26 years old when
she was united to Capt. Sherman. A married
life of thirty-eight years was before her, and

she went with her husband to California,
