had had no breakfast. At other times he
would order and eat hearty breakfast,
and in an hour forget all about it and order
another.
With the general collapse which was ap-
preaching the mans appearance had alter
ed. He became emaciated and his face
took on a fiery hue. This fact, with the
manner in which he trimmed his moustache
and imperial, gave him a MephistOphelian
look. When one of his friends remarked
this resemblance Thompson agreed with
him, and set to work to make a bust of
himself as the devil.
The Last Days.
After the completion of the Burnside
statue Thompson refused absolutely to do
any more work and gave himself up to de-
bauchery. A Scotch nobleman came to him
for portrait bust to be placed in the uni
Versity at Edinburgh. Thompson was told
that he could name his own price for the
work. This offer and "a number of others
he declined peremptorily.
During the past four years he was several
times placed under arrest, and at one time
he was sent to Blackwelrs Island. Finally
IN lSb he was removed TO private aSy-
ium. But he became SO violent that he was
transferred to the hospital where he died.
Ihare was no communication between
Thompson and his friends in New York
after he was sent away; but when the
money which he had was used up they sent
enough to Middletown to pay his expenses.
Artists and clubmen were almost beginning
to forget that there was such a man as
Iaunt Thompson when his death was an
nounced. There were a few signs over
poor Launt Thompson's fate and things
went on the same as before.
When the dead sculptor was laid TO rest
In Hillside cemetery at Middletown there
was not mourner to attend his body to
the grave. His New York friends had not
entirely forgotten him, however, for the
burial expenses were met by them in the
last remittance which they will ever be
called upon to make for the benefit of the
famous but unfortunate Launt Thompson.

As You Go Through Life.

Don't look for the flaws as you go through life;
And even il you should find them,
IL IL Wise and kind to be somewhat blind,
And look for the virtue behind them;
For the clOudiest night has Il hint of light
Somewhere ia its shadows hiding;
IL Is better by far to hunt for a star
Than for spots on the sun abiding.
The current Of life runs away
To the bosom Of Gods great ocean;
Don't set your force gainst the rivers course
And think to alter its motion;
Don't waste curse on the universe
Remember IL lived before you;
Don't butt 1T the storm with your puDy form,
But bend and let II 90 DER you.
The world will never adjust itself
To suit your whiins to the letter;
Some things must go wrong your whole life long,
And the sooner you know II the better;
IL Is folly To- night with the Infinite.
And 20 under at last in the wrestle:
The wise shapes into Gods good plan
As the water shapes into vessel.

queen-regent and the court, held a review
last Wednesday 1t San Sebastian Of his boy
battalion, which has been recruited from
the youthful members of the chief families
Of Spain. The regiment has been organ sed.
armed. and drilled by Col. Ortega in strict
military discipline. When the royal marty
arrived on the parade ground, the young
soldiers presented arms, while the buglers
blew flourish of trumpets and the band
played the royal march. The boys then
went through their drill and maneuvers,
marching, countermarching doubling, and
charging with fixed bayonets with a dash
and precision which surprised the specta-
tors and delighted the king, who was en-
thusiastic in his applause. Afterward,
amid solemn silence. the king and the
queen-regent passed up the ranks Of the
regiment, inspecting with due formality
the arms and uniforms of the boys Finally
the queen-regent gave the command for
the battalion TO pile arms and, as the boys
stood at ease. her majesty went among
them. caressing some and praising the mar
tial bearing OF all; the king chatted with
his own playmates. the sons of Gen. Pola-
vieta and the Duke Of Serolass.

Free Trade Not Probable.

About the most remarkable prophet
who has recently come to light is
Hon. John +. Russell, the distin-
guished Massachusetts, free trader,
who was swept into innocuous desue-
tudc when he ran for the governor
ship Of Massachusetts last fall. MIR.
Russell has just been to Washington,
and the dispatches outline his report
on the situation as follows:
There will be- no tariff bill passed by this
congress. II &, impossible. The party Is
doomed to Overwhelming and ignomlnious
defeat this fail and In 1876 but In eight years
tho country will return 10 free trade.
Mr.. Russell has prophcsied before
and proved himself false prophet.
Not in eight, and perhaps not in
eighty years, will the people of the
United States make the mistake Of
voting for free trade. While DEM
ocraiic administration is making such
a pitiful exhibition Of its incapacity,
the hum OF industry is hushcd, armies
Of the unemployed are begging for
work and the dark cloud Of business
depression hovers DER the land
1t is time for another change and
the people will vote for it at the first
opportunity.
