CHICAGO, March 90. Gen. George
Crook died suddenly in his parlor at the

after partially dressing himself, entered
the parlor, where, as was his wont, he
commenced to exercise with dumb BELLS

who was attiring herself in the adjoining
room, heard him call in faint voice:
"Mary! Mary" Upon responding she
found the general reclining upon the
sofa and evidently in much pain. His
hands were pressed over his heart and
he was barely able to articulate,
''Mary, Can Hardly Breathe
Greatly alarmed, Mrs. Crook rang for
assistance and messengers were dis
patched for DR.. Hurlburt, whose Office is
about a block away. The physician
quickly responded, but ON his arrival
expressed the opinion that the patient
was beyond recovery. Four minutes
later Gen. Crook passed away as quietly
as a sleeping babe. Mrs. Crook was
overwhelmed by the terrible event and
her grief was pitiable to witness. The
remains are now resting in the bed
which he left but few hours before.
Col Corbin and other members of the
staff hurried to the hotel upon receipt of
the news, and the war department was
at once notified.

Tho Telephone In Germanx.

The telephone service is admirable, as
is testified by the public appreciation,
there being over 10saa0 Instruments in
use in Berlin. There are no private tele-
phone companies in Germany, the tele-
phone, like the telegraph, being a branch
OF the postal service. The price for tele-
phone service is low, the annual charge
for an instrument being 120 marks, or
something less than $40. The long dis
lance service between the principal cities
Of the empire is being rapidly introduced.
A telegram received for a person who has
a telephone is at once delivered orally
from the central Office, and the written
message then forwarded by the local post.
Likewise a telegram is transmitted by
the sender to the telegraph Office by tele-
phone. The telephones in use are manu-
featured by Siemens & Halske, the great
electricians, and are said to be great inn
provement upon the Bell patent, upon
which they are based.-Cor. Mexican

Tho Old Man.

Bow lsw the head, do reverence to the
old man, once like you, The vicissitudes
Of life have silvered his hair and chang
ed the round merry face to the worn Wis.,
age before you. Once the heart beat
with aspiration, crushed by disappoint-
ment, as yours, perhaps, is destined "a
be. Once that form stalked promptly
through the gay scenes Of pleasure, the
beau ideal Of grace; now the hand Of
time that withers the flowers Of yestere
day has bent that figure and destroyed
that noble carriage, Once, at your ago,
be possessed the thousand thoughts that
pass through your brain, now wishing
to accomplish deeds equal to a nook in
fame; anon imaginging life a dream that
the sooner he awoke from the better,
But be has lived tie dream very near
through, the time to awaken is very neaP
at hand; his eye never kindles at old
deeds Of daring, and the hand takes
firmer grasp Of the staff. Bow low the
head, boy, as you would in your old age
be reyereneed. -SQmsrville Journal

There is nothing that adds more to the

a recompense in the enjoyment of well

to be overpowering or so exhaustive that

thoroughly wretched as one where the
necessity and desire for work is entirely
wanting; and this is particularly true Of
