One of the most interesting and pictur-
esque careers which the older men of our
day have witnessed came to an end last
Saturday in the death of Gen. Nathaniel
2. Banks at his home in Waltham, Mass.
Men who were Just entering on their young
manhood when the war of the rebellion
broke out remember with what a thrill of
admiration they read of the career of the
"Bobbin Boy" eX-speaker of the United
House of Representatives, ex-governor of
Massachusetts,. and then just entering on
a gallant career as a general in the Union
army. This sObriquet Gen. Banks gained
while tending the weaving machines in the
cotton mill at Waltham, Mass, of which
his father was superintendent. He was
born in Waltham in 1916 and grew up amid
conditions which compelled him to rely on
his own resources TO make his way in life.
Besides his work as a bobbin-b boy he learned
the machinists trade He was an earnest
student, especially in history and politics.
As he grew to manhood he tried his hand
at work upon a local newspaper, studied
law and was admitted to the bar. His tai
ents became recognized and he was elected
to the Massachusetts legislature in 1S49.
In ISL and 1852 he was reelected and
served as speaker under a coalition of the
Democrats and Free-soilers. By the same
combination he was elected to the United
States House of Representatives in 1853 as
a coalition Democrat During his first
L. -3sl, =,
or Know-nothing party, and at the ensuing
election was reelected by an overwhelming
majority, beating both the Wing and Dem
ocratic candidates. He was nominated for
speaker of the House in 1850, and was
elected after bitter contest that lasted
over two months and required l33 ballots.
he was returned to the Congress as a Re
publican, and served until he took his seat
as governor of Massachusetts, to which Of
flee he was elected on a coalition ticket by
the American and Republican parties in
1857. He was reelected governor in 1855
and 1859.
At the outbreak of the war he was com
missioned as major-general and did active
service in the Army of the Potomac, at
New Orleans and Port Hudson. The fail
ure of the Red river campaign in 1864, for
which he was not responsible, caused his
retirement from the army. He was imme-
dately elected to Congress from his old
district and remained in active public life
until 1855, when his mind began to fail as
the result, doubtless in large part a of his
arduous army service.
Gen. Banks had an impressive personal
appearance, rare magnetism, and a charm
as a public speaker which none who heard
him will ever forget.

How to Have Summer Corn in Winter.

How to Have Summer Corn i'm Winter.
In September, while the corn is still in
perfection, secure as many ears as may
serve your need during winter and spring
Drop the ears for minute into boiling
water, or pour the water over them, letting
them stay III it only long enough to barely
scald the milk in the vegetable and thus
prevent its sourlug Then cut all the corn
from the cobs and place il in stone Jar,
scattering over it occasionally sprinkling
of salt Next pour on enough cold water
TO keep it moist, and cover closely By
this simple process the corn will last per
tectly sweet into the following summer
Whenever any is required for dinner put it
IN soak in cold water the night before
when the time comes for cooking it drain
on the water, add more cold water and set
it on the fire. The flavor as well as deli
cacy OF the corn is improved by letting it
bon two hours, at least; when done it will
have Just sufficient flavor of salt and no
more and will be as superior to canned
corn as corn eaten from the cob always is
This method of preserving corn is wide
~ practiced in the British provinces,
where the people depend largely upon their
own vegetables for diet, but seems to be
little known in New England. Boston

Cover, supposed to have been dead 10
years, discredits the report that the latter

a similar report was sent out from New

In Bonn bay. M
Mr.. Cover says that Fred was always
an eccentric man who would be likely to
do any queer thing, such as dropping out
of sight for term OF years.
Hence he thinks his brother Is still alive

from him, but he does not believe he hrs
been seen In London. He has never
fully credited the story of his brothers.

sett lifted the leather over the fence In

timacy OF the Grays. He pitched q good
game, but his supporters made q few
fatal errors and Providence defeated the
champions Ito 9.
Rudderham showed that he was pitch
er worth having by capable work at criti-
cal moments. Lyons and Bsssett's bat
ting won the game that was
brilliant and ''yaller' by turns.
THE errors on both sides were costly, but
the lucky bunching of hits gave the
Grays the game. 1t was an exciting con-
test and one Of the kind worth seeing.
