to return he resumed the practice OF
law in New York, and soon became en-
tangled in many scandals and intrigues.
When he was seventy years ola he was
still handsome and engaging, and so
beguiled . French countess OF great
wealth that she married him. He
wasted her money SO lavishly that she
separated from him in short time and
he vas left penniless. His few friends
abandoned him and he died degraded
and disgyaced at the age of four score
years. In his last days he read the
Bible anew-read and pondered, and
with sadness and contrition said:
''Thcre is the most perfect system OF
truth the world has ever seen."
What q life, what record, what q
wreck OF great talents, all because he
forsook the teachings Of his noble
Christian ancestors and became q acof-
fer, an infidel, q Chesterfield. What
bitter memories-what anguish he
must have felt in his last days-his last
hours, when he begged to be buried at
Princeton by the grave of his father.
Verify, it seems like Providence fol-
lowed him with an avenging hand and
heaped misery upon him all his life.
And my old friend Carnochan saw
that man and heard him talk and felt
magnetized by his presence-and no
was old enough to vote for Jackson for
pre- sident and since then has voted for
seventeen presidents. What world
OF memories the old man has. You
can't alarm him with fears of the ma
ton going to ruin through the curren-
cy question. He has heard the cry OF
ruin too long and too often. 1t makes
him smile to hear the boys talk
ruin now. It is the same old
tocsin that pealod the alarm
in Jackson's day, when the United
States bank was demonetized, and he
remembers that. 1t was a bigger fuss
than this, he says, though there WASN'T
SO many people nor so many newspa'
pers to make it. The old man came
south in his early manhood and rode
on the first and only railroad Of any
length that had been built. He is @
concordance, a chronology, an antiqui'
ty. There are some older men, but
not many who are as bright. as genial,
AZ contented. His long life of industry
is an object lesson to the rising genera
tion. and hope they will see it and
think of it. He has done no big thing
to give him fame or fortune, but ht
has fought good fight and set good
example. Peace to you, my old friend
May you keep on living until you ART
tired and then depart in peace.-BILI

It may fall considerably under that figure.

The veterinary Of the San francisco
Board of Health, interested in pro-
venting the spread of tuberculosis
through the use Of the milk or flesh of
afflicted COWS, has made the disquiet-
ing discovery of tuberculosis in ducks,
the livers OF pair OF tho birds killed
by him being badly affected. This
discovery will lead to an exhaustive
investigation by the Board into field
hitherto unexplored. Where or how
the ducks acquired the germs OF the
disease is as yet unexplained. The
questions that now concern the Boara
are the extent to which ducks are sub
iect to the disease. and whether other
domestic fowls may be susceptible to
its influence.

Barring the occasional terrible dis
sster which carries q whole trsinload
of people to destruction, and causes q
shudder throughout the entire world,
danger in railroad travel is certainly
being reduced to minimum. In 1895
the number of passengers killed in
Pennsylvania was ono to every 4,3OO,-
600 carried and in New York only one
passenger lost his life to every 9'5oo'-
600 carried, the rate among employees
being of course greater. These com
parisions, taken from official figures
lead to the conclusion that in th'
matter of safety appliances, New Yorl
is in advance of Pennsylvania, in pro

The tragedy at tho Novelty Theatre
in London, in which one actor stabbed
another and killed him, will probably
be followed by legislation next year
making the use Of dangerous weapons
on the stage penal offence. The
dagger with which the actor was killed
was a present from the late Ada Caven-
dish, the actress. In order to COM
plete the horror of this realism, the
curtain was raised twice for scenic
effee: before it was discovered that
the victim had been stabbed to the
