Lord Randolph Churchill.

Lord Randolph Henry Spencer-Churchill
was the second of the seventh Duke of
Marlborough. He was born on February
13, 1919, and was educated at Merton Col
lege, oxford He represented Woodstock
In the house of commons from February
1874 until April, 1850, and again from that
time (when he was returned with imin-
ished majority until November, 1885. He
afterward stood for Birmingham, but was
defeated and was then returned for South
Paddington. From 1874 to 1851 he was al
most silent in the house, but from 1880 on
ward he made himself conspicuous in the
house and on public platforms by the vio-
lence of his speeches against the liberal
party, and he was the chief member of
that small section of the house known as
the fourth party.
on the accession of Lord Salsburys gov
eminent to office in 1855, Lord Randolph
Churchill filled the post of secretary of
state for India, and his promotion to that
high place was a proof of the Importance
that he had assumed in the ranks of the
conservative party. In the country, indeed,
he vas already regarded as almost, if not
quite, the tory leader, and it was common
ly said that the mantle of Lord Beacons
field had fallen upon the young, able, ire
pressbie, but acute chief of tory democ-
racy.
Lord Randolph's short tenure of the India
office was marked 10y the annexation of Up
per Burmah. Departmental work, however,
did not prevent ms taxing great part IN
the struggle, which, at the general cleo
tons Of November, 1885, again returned the
liberals to power. He resigned office with
Lord Salisbury, to return, after six months,
as chancellor of the eXchequer and leader
of the house of commons; but to the sur
prise of all he resigned suddenly in De-
cember of the same year.
Lord Randolph married, In 1874, Miss
Jennie Jerome, daughter of the late Leon
ard Jerome of New York. She has since
become a prominent member of the Prim-
rose League. Lord and Lady Randolph
Churchill visited this country for the first
time in many years last summer, and then
continued westward on tour of the world
from which they returned, landing at Mar
settles, only few weeks ago. This voyage
was undertaken for the benefit of Lord
Randolph's health, which was badly shat
tered when he came to America last year.
He was said to be suffering from nervous
prostration, brought on by overwork. But

Lord nd Lady Randolph Churchill
reached London on Monday, December "a.
from Marseilles, and the formers condi-
ton was then so feeble that he had to be
lifted from the railroad car to his carriage.
1t was said that he was suffering from
general paralysis. Lord Randolph, during
his tour of the world, had a physician
in constant attendance upon him, and, in
addition, he had been treated since his re-
turn to Europe by two other physicians.
But the consultations held between the
three physicians do not seem to have re-
suited in prolonging the patients life for
any length of time, and he died at his resi-
dence. 30 GroSvenor Square, London, where

The First Suez Canal.

There was a Suez Canal before the
present one. According to Herodotus,
Pharaoh Mech, 45O years before the
Christian era, commenced the construc-
tion OF canal, branching out from the
Nile, and traversing the desert to the
head of the Gulf of Suez. But he aban-
doned it, when half completed, after an
almost incredible amount of labor, be-
cause an oracle had warned him that
the canal would inure to the benefit of
his enemies, the barbarians. Ptolemy
H., however, took up the work where
it had been left off and completed it.
Trojan subsequently restored the canal.
1t is described as having been the great
est canal in the world. It's breadth was
such that two galleys abreast could be
na0igated on it. By it the riches and
merchandise of the East were conveyed
from the Red Sea to the Nile and thence
to the Mediterranean After the lapse
of several centuries it was allowed to
go to ruin, but traces still remain

Nathaniel Hawthorne.

Hawthorne said that the years he
spent at what is now South Casco, Me-,
had great influence on his after life.
He was naturally gloomly, and when
but boy he entertained the idea that
he would end his days in the poor
house. He underrated his own talents
and even said to Franklin Pierce, his
classmate and friend, II shall die d
pauper." He was so timid he was
never sure of anything. Franklin
Pierce when he became President,
made him Consul to Liverpool, then
the best paying Consulate in the world.
President Pierce, in bidding him good
bye, said to him in parting: Don't
be sheep any longer! Stand up in
your boots and be man! John Bull
is good fellow, and will think the
more of you if you face him in man
fashion" John Bull was first to ap-
preciate his writings, and they then
became popular in America. Haw-
thorne returned rich beyond his wants
and enjoyed what he possessed-Por
and (Me) Press.
