Fsst Day Sermon.

Editors Of the Kennebee Journal:
am forced although with extreme re.
luctance, to ask you to correct few Of
the serious mistakes Of the Fast day sermon
published today. l am reluctant, because
you were kind enough to respond TO the
urgent wish Of some of our citizens, when
as you told them, il was almost impossible
TO give adequate attention to its publication.
First: the manuscript was decapitated. AND
like all decapitated thingsi.is lifeless. From
what is printed no one can imagine even
the relevancy Of the text, and hardly tn.
main drift and purpose Of the sermon.
Unfortunately, have no time, IL you
have space, to correct all the mistakes,
but few must be noticed, because they
seriously compromise me. My knowledge
of history is aspersed. For instance, instesd
Of Caesar expired alone it should hav.
been "Caiar reigsed alone" for - cor
rupt politician desires to make q clean" il
should be "strong impression" My mora
sense might be challenged from the state
ments (see middle of third psrsgraph) that
one may be governed by secondary motives
as to prohibition, and prohibition only
There you have il 1--WE wanted . law which
wouli deal with the men who defames 8
reputable, difficult, and important business
by carrying on universal traffic in contra
band under its forms" ETC., whereas this
sense should have been just the opposite

Then stand convicted of gross fattery

from affectation and love Of display" i
should have been "freer than those Of somt
other countries"
Then there is q whole nest Of dread
full mistakes in the paragraph beginning
what should we say If our chastity were
the question"
The most dreadful reads, "You maxi

I am glad to know the sermon may b.
republished in e1femso, for IS 1t stands, d
one would imagine it was received witt
enthusiasm by earnest me7 OF all shades
of temperance belief or with tolerance b,
anybody. And under the circumstances
am sure you also will be glad Of its re
publication. am yours very truly,

GEORGE BANCROFT DEAD.
Tine Aged Historian Passes Away at
Washington.

A Washington dispatch of the 18th
says: ''The community was greatly
shocked this evening by the news that
George Bancroft, the venerable histo-
rian, was dead. 1t had been realized
that Mr.. Bancroft could hardly survive
much longer the increasing intirml-
ties incident to his extreme old
age, but he had been in cheerful
spirits and apparently better health
this year, since his return from New
port, than for several seasons past, SO
that his death was sudden and uneX-
pected to all, save a few intimate friends
who knew Of the attack of illness which
carried him Off Death occurred at $40
o'clock this afternoon. The end was
quiet and peaceful, and came after a
period of Inconsistencies, lasting ABOUT
twenty-four hours. Mr.. Bancroft, for
some years past, had been in the habit
OF spending about five months in Now
port and passing the winter and colder
seasons of the year in Washington
Two years ago he had severe attack OF
sickness which kept him in bed for four
or five weeks, and, as he was in his seth
year, grave apprehensiOns were felt for
his life. He recovered, however,
though never after that as strong as he
had formerly been. He came to this
city from Newport last October, feeling
better than for some time past. He was
lent appetite and a good faculty for
sleep until last week, when he caught
slight cold. He had always
lived carefully but generously,
and had said repeatedly within
the last six weeks that he had
never slept better nor had a better APP
petite. Notwithstanding his cold, he
continued to seek outdoor exercise
every day until Thursday, when he
took to his bed as matter of precau-
ton. His whole illness was less than
three days. He failed rapidly yester
day and became unconscious in the
afterno IN, in which state he remained
until the end. His son, John &. Ban
croft, who, with his wife, kept house
for the historian, was with him in his
clan, DR.. Wales, had left the house q
short time before, as Mr.. Bancroft
looked then as if he would live through
the night.
MI Bancroft was always fond of out
door exercise, to which, in q large
measure, he attributed his good health
and prolonged life and, after he discon-
tinued horseback riding, he regularly
walked about the city, attended by an
old servant. He lived here in a large
old fashioned double house on II. Street,
in fashionable neighborhood, and his
garden here, as at Newport, was
filled with choice roses, in
which flower he delighted. He
regarded his life work as finished two
wears ago, and of late had done no lit
erary work During the last decade he
had revised his great work, the History
of the United States, going over it in a
severely critical style, and eliminating
the flowers Of rhetoric in the earlier
work. His last production was q history
of the formation of the constitution. He
undertook to write Il history of Pres
ident Folks administration, in whose
cabinet he served as secretary of the
navy, but was compelled to abandon it.
