nanu upon his shirt front, but there is
current a theory that the ritual is
flexible, and that in many cases all
ceremonies, save those of purely con-
vivial nature, are dispensed with.
Saturday night receptions of the club
have become social events of note, and
in no instance, it is asserted, has any
one present at these reunions failed to
return eventually to family and friends.
The record of the club in this respect
is as pure as filtered water. No bones
are bleaching in the alley.
The Whitechapel Club, it need
hardly be explained, is not an organiz-
alton for gain, though formally incor-
porated under the State law. 1t has
seal and its blood-red letterheads are
curiosities. 1t is a great institution.

universities, at the latter of which in
stitutions he received the degree of
Phi. d. His parents had intended that
he should study for the ministry, but
having had taste of what literary life
and activity really was, and shrinking
from the dull monotony of New Eng
land parsons life, he at last decided to
devote his whole time to making for
himself prominent place in the world
of letters. He held for a short time
the position of Greek professor at his
alma mater.
His first literary venture was the
publiossion of volume of poems. some
of which were very beautiful, on the
politics of ancient Greece, which were
very well received by American
scholars. Soon after this time he
opened very large school for the in
struction of youth. DIR. Bancroft's
greatest work, and the one which has
given him a position at the head Of
Americas prose writer's, is his History

$4,000 FOUND IN AN ASH BARREL.

A New York rag-picker is reported to
have found $1,000 in greenbacks in an ash
barrel. This was rare piece of good luck,
but how much more fortunate is the sufferer
from consumption who learns that, although
the doctors may have pronounced his case
hopeless, DR.. Pierces Golden Medical Dis
covery will cure him. Consumption is a
scrofulous disease of the lungs. The Dis
covery,n which is the most potent blood
purifier of the age strikes right at the root
of the evil and there is no resisting it, if
taken in time and given a fair trial. In
the cure of all scrofulous and other blood
taints, no matter from what cause arising,
scalp diseases, old sores and swellings, It
absolutely has no equal.

BANCROFT, THE HISTORIAN.
The Venerable Scholar Nearly One Hum
dred Years Old

The Venerable Scholar Nearly One Hum
dred Years Old.
Advices from Washington are to the
effect that Hon. George Bancroft, the
historian, IS suffering from the effects
OF recent attack of illness, which,
combined with the infrmities of age,
Keeps him prisoner, not only to his
room but to his bed. The Gordon
setter which used to accompany Mr..
Bancroft on his horseback rides sat
pensively at the door waiting for the
master who will never again mount the
saddle.
Mr.. Bancroft's active life has ceased
entirely. On fine days, previous to
this late attack, he walked slowly out
in the sunshine, leaning on the arm of
his faithful serving man. 1t is per-
haps not generally known that Mr..
Bancroft is the only private citizen in
the United States, aside from ex-Sen-
stors, who is admitted to the floor of
the Senate, his name being inscribed
on the plate at the entrance door.
Mr.. Bancroft's house on H street is
one of the stately old residences of
Washington. His old friend, w. ".
Corcoran, lived just across on the cor
ner of the square, with half an acre of
garden, and the Gadsby mansion, his
torical as the Decatur home, where
Gen. Beal now lives, is on the other
corner. One could hardly imagine
more desirable site for city home.
George Bancroft is one of those
literary characters of whom the United
States has the best reason to be proud,
and one, also, to whom his countrymen
are indebted for having redeemed from
mediocrity the literary standing of the
young republic. There is no English
speaking historian alive at the present
day who is anything like his equal in
the two most important characteristics
OF faithful historian, devoted research
and rigid impartiality.
George Bancroft was born during
the last year of the eighteenth century,
at Worcester, Massachusetts. He
graduated with high honors at Harvard
College, and soon after his graduation
he continued his education by a long
European tour, ending with some years
OF study at the Gottingen and Berlin
