charmed the most orthodox, and while his views on such exciting subjects as slavery, war and the tariff were ex- treme even to the verge of fanaticism, he wrote biographies of Aaron Burr, Horace Greeley and Andrew Jackson that charm ed men of all parties, destroyed half the old federalist prejudice against Thomas Jefferson, and almost interested south erners in Ben Butler as a gentleman and philanthropist. What is equally remark able, he violated some of the strongest social rules without losing caste, and wrote eulogistic life of Voltaire with out exciting the wrath of religious edi- tors. The charm of his style and the evi- dent sincerity in his expression account for it.
 He was born in Canterbury, England, Feb. Q, 1929, and at the age of five was taken by his widowed mother to New York, got his education there and at White Plains, and then passed a year in the Old World, expending in the tour a small legacy he had received in England. He taught school awhile in Philadelphia and New York, and while in the latter city wrote an analysis of the famous "Jane Eyre" demonstrating that it was the work of a woman. This essay he sent to The Home Journal, with many mis- givings. To his supreme delight, as he tells us, it appeared in the next number of that paper, with editorial approval by N. P. Willis; he sought the latter's ac- quaintance and resolved to devote his life to literature.
 His salary on The Home Journal was ten dollars per week for long time, nor did he make any great success till he issued the Life of Horace Greeley" in 1855. Thirty-fve thousand copies were, sold in the first bloom" and the work is still in some demand. In 1857 he issued the Life and Times of Aaron Burr;" in 1860 the Life of Andrew Jackson;" Ben Butler in New Orleans" in 1863, and the Life of Benjamin Franklin" Many minor works followed, and in 1873 his Life of Thomas Jefferson" produced quite a sensation.
 In 1881 he published his favorite, the book to which he had devoted all his leisure hours since boyhood, "The Life of Voltaire." This work was his labor of love. Voltaire was his hero. He had studied that authors works as no other American ever did. Critics esteem it his best work, but the general public has not yet taken hold of it as of his biogra- phies of eminent Americans.

In 1872 she died, and year or two later he married her daughter and his own stepdaughter, Miss Ellen w. Eldridge. Of course there was dis cussion." Discovering that the marriage in Massachusetts was illegal they re- moved to New York and had the cere- mony performed again. On their return to Massachusetts there was "complica- tion." The legislature passed law legalizing the marriage, but Governor Rice vetoed it. The New York marriage, however, was valid in both states. His second union was much happier than his first, and his children by that union are boy and girl, of fourteen and twelve years, respectively. He lived in New buryport, Mass, after 1872 and was an active and valued citizen.

Boise CRY, Idaho, Feb. 25.-
An interesting fist fight occurred in
the cloak room of the house today
between Mr.. Brown, the Northern
Pacific attorney, and Silas w.
Moody, state auditor, and editor of
the Daily Statesman, Moody has
been attacking the bill fostered by
Brown, which we spoke of in yes.
terday's dispatches, for consolidat.
ing railroads. The Statesman has
for several days been making at
tacks, and Brown called on Moody
several days ago to point out OBJ
jections, when Moody said his
reasons for making attacks at this
time was for the mistreatment the
Northern Pacific had done him in
the past. This morning Moody
and Brown were alone in the ante
room and noticing the bill pass by
a vote of of of 20 to 2 Moody insin-
uated that Brown had spent $50, 1000
for it's passage. Brown did not
reply, but at noon, before several
members, Brown asked Moody to
repeat his morning assertion, which
was done, and then a war of words
followed. Moody jumped up ex-
citedly, saying, "Do you mean to
say I could be bribed?" and struck
at Brown. Moody is tall and lank,
while Brown is short, and the lat
ter struck back, hitting Moody on
the jaw and nose, but he had to
jump up to do it. This was very
amusing. They clinched, Brown
all the time Furnishing his antag-
onist in the belly, when the inter-
ested spectators recovered sufficient
y to take Brown off. No prosecu-
tions are likely to occur, and the
members who witnessed the diff
Guilty were requested to remain
silent.

the next day, returning home, 1
found a woman asleep by the road
side and was at once tempted to
kill her. l took a stone and made
my first victim and carried her
home to satisfy my hunger. Some
days after I killed simplicio and
invited Francisco and Severa who
were dying from starvatian, to help
me eat him. When Simplicio's
flesh was finished, and being with
out means Of satisfying my hunger,
Francisco told me TO kill her two
children for us to eat, which 1 did.
Two weeks after, in the same strait
Basilio and I killed Francisa for
the same purpose. Afterward 1
found Basilio had stolen a shirt
from me and l killed him when he
was unsuspiciously gathering roots
1or supper. l only ate little of
him, for I YVES arrested two DAYS
after killing him. This was the
last one 1 killed"
The police found the heart of
Basilio sailed down, and the canni-
bal eating the calves of the victims
legs with a good appetite.
"Does human flesh have an
agreeable taste?"
mo, it is rather swedish. The
best thing l found in those I killed
were the brains, tongue and mar
row."
GLOW did you prepare the flesh
for eating?" >
"We ate it roasted or boiled,
with good deal of pepper"
The prisoner said be had no un-
pleasant fancies from eating human
flesh, slept we'll and had no remorse
for his crimes.

The coke strike brings out the
Pinkertons, though there is not
even the excuse of violence, actual
or menaced, for their presence.
What are these private armies
but q reproduction in the nineteenth
century of the German free-lances
and Italian condottieri? In the
old barbarous days armed merce-
nary bands were kept as regularly

unarmed body shall be brought in,

Constitution not only forbids i'm.
portation of armed bodies but
armed individuals so as to prevent

peace officer or special constable
or deputy sheriff, or act as such,
