Oregon May give Weaver One Vote.

PORTLAND, Nov. 19.-It will take the
official count to determine whether Oregon
shall cast three or four votes in the eiec-
tora. college for Harrison. The full re-
turns from six counties have not yet been
received. On the face Of the returns at
hand Pierce. the Popu!ist eec,or, who
was indoised by the Democrats. has less
than 200 votes to overcome. The Demo-
Gratis and Populists claim that. the coun-
ties yet to hear from will give him at least
400 votes more than necessary for election.
In this estimate they do not include the
votes which they allege were thrown out
OF the count by the Republican judges be-
cause Of Pierce's name appearing twice on
the ticket in some counties. Whichever
way the official count results there will be
a contest on the ground that the ballot
was irregular.

Bronze Casting.

According to r. H. Park, of Florence,
q sculptor, the art of casting large
statues in one piece, as practiced by
Benvenuto CeIlini in casting the Perseus,
which has been lost art, has been re-
discovered. The process is called cerra
perduce; it is a wax process. The clay
model is made, and the plaster repro
duction is taken from it. From this
the matrix is made, and the matrix is
furnished with a core. The matrix is
coated with wax the thickness of the
bronze. The mould is then heated and
the wax runs out of hole in the bottom,
then the bronze is poured in. The re-
suits are superior, but the cost is in
creased by about $1,000 per statue

John Greenleaf Whittier, the poet, died al

Whittier's last conscious utterancs was
one of recognition Of his niece, Mrs. Samuel
+. Pickard. who lived with him for some
wears previous to her marriage. Mrs. Pick
ard asked him whether he knew her, an1 he
replied: Eyes, I have known you all the

His Career.

John Greenleaf Whittier was born In
Haverhill, Mass. December II, 1907. His
parents were members Of the Society of
Friends and the poet himself always con-
formed to the customs and usages of that
sect, even to it's peculiarities Of speech and
dress.
He spent his earlier years upon his
fathers farm. and his first occupations
were those of a farmers boy, tending the
cows and assisting N the lighter labors OF
having and harvest.
It was thus that he was early brought in
to touch with nature, his intimate acquaint-
ance and knowledge of whose charms gives
such a picturesque beauty to many Of his
poems. They reflect the country scenery Of
New England with a fidelity that has never
been eQualled.
His early schooling of the scantiest
kind, for it was only in the winter months
that he had the opportunity of attending the
neighboring district school. Later on he
learned the shoemaker's trade, and by this
means he earned enough to enable him to
attend the Haverhill Academy during si1
months in 1927.
He was then able to teach school himself
thus obtaining the means of continuing his
course at the academy another year. Dur
ing all this time he was regular contrib
utor to the "Poets Corner" in the Free
Press, a paper edited by William Lloyd
Garrison, at Newburyport. Mass, for his
literary tastes had begun to develop when
Garrison saw signs o. promise in the
young man, and their association at this
time led to the lifelong friendship which
existed between them and brought them
closely together.
After his fathers death Whittier carried
on the farm for five years until 1885, during
which time he was an Industrious writer and
contributed verses to many periodicals. He
was also in turn editor of the American
Manufacturer, of Boston, the Haverhill
Gazette and the New England Weekly Re-
view, of Hartford, Conn.
IS In 1886 he removed to Philadelphia, where
he edited the Pennsylvania Freeman until the
Office of that paper was sacked and burn ed
bv d mob. In 1910 he returned to New
England and took up his abode in Amesbury,
where he lived quiet and simple life.
During his seclusion Whittier has never
been idle. His first volume in prose and
verse, legends of New England" was pub
lished in 1881, and since that time collections
of his writings have appeared almost every
year. The last edition of his poetical and
prose works was published in 1889 in seven
volumes.
Among his best known works are ''Lays
of My Home and Other POEMS" published
in 1913; ''Old Portraits and Modern
Sketches" 1850; ''Home Ballads and
Poems" 1860; ''Snow Bound" 1862; "In
War Time and Other Poems," 1868; 1.-THE
Tent on the Beach," 1867; among the
Hills" 1868: Hazel Blossoms" 1874; ''The
Vision of Echard," "The Kings Missive,"
BAY of Seven Islands and Poems of
Nature" all published within the past dozen
years.
