Benevolence and forgiveness were the very
basis Of his character, his worldwide humanity
is aptly embodied in a phrase OF his second IN
augural "with malice toward none, with
charity for ALL" His nature was deeply reli-
gious, but he belonged to no denomination he
had faith in the eternal justice and boundless
mercy of Providence, and made the golden rule
of Christ his practical creed. History must &C.
cord him a rare sagacity In guiding a great
people through the perils of mighty revolution.
an admirable singleness of aim, a skilful dis
cernment and courageous seizure of the golden
moment to free his nation from the incubus of
slavery, faithful adherence to law and con.
scientious moderation in the use of power,
shining personal example of honesty and purity,
and finally the possession OF that subtle ana I'D.
definable magnetism by which he subOrdlnated
and directed dangerously disturbed and per-

his country, and the gift Of liberty to four mil
lions of human beings. Architect OF his own
fortunes, rising with every opportunity, mas
tering every emergency, fulfilling every duty,
he not only proved himself pre-eminently the
man for the hour, but the signal benetactor OF

1T has been great many years since New
Jersey suffered from SO severe storm as that
of Thursday of last especially from rain
and high winds. In some sections great damage
was done by the overfowing of streams, es-
pecially in the Northern portions of the State.
In Morris and Somerset Counties particularly
the greatest destruction of property took place.
together with the loss of some lives. Many
bridges were swept away, railroad embank-
ments torn up, and towns, villages and farms
flooded, causing much damage and trouble.
Buildings were blown down and much injury
to orchard, ornamental and other trees took
place. And to this were added destructive
fires. At Boundbrook the venerable PresbY-
terian Church, which has stood the storms for
more than hundred years, was totally de.
stroyed together with much other property
near by. Severe fires also occurred in other
places in the State, the very high winds pre-
vailing at the time battling the efforts of fire
men. 1t is not often that storms of rain and
wind destroy much property in this State, and
it is to be hoped it will be a long time before
the like occurs again.

vAGRANT THOUGHTS.

A BOY without cash in his pocket is a forlorn
object but he should seldom have any that he
did not earn.
Boys should be carefully taught habits of
truthfulness, honesty, industry, piety, patience,
temperance and patriotism.
An illustration in a sermon or public dis
course without point or useful lesson is like
whiplash without snapper. 1t leaves no i'm
preston or makes any noise.
Some persons are never happy unless they
have quarrel on hand. When such are dis
posed to quarrel with you let them severely
alone. That hurts them worse than bandying
words with them.
-Quarrelsome persons will say and do more
mean things in one minute than peaceable ones
can think of in week.
Better have the itch than listen to fe-
male quarrel.
-Instructing young and green boys in the
art of printing, and perhaps also in other
reform school arts, absorbs vast amount of
time, and besides is sometimes perplexing and
aggravating to the instructor. 1t often happens
that no matter how plain ones directions for
the work may be, the things the boy will leave
undone, and the things that he will do which
should not be done, and the other things he
will do wrong end first, would fill several news
papers if they were recorded. The boy, after
all, in the end is benefited, and here alone is
the victory.

DEATH OF MISS BOOTH.

A Comic Opera Singer Dies In Philadel-
phia Under Suspicious circumstances.
PHILADELPHIA, May 12.-Frances A.
Liebner woman Of 90 years, known TO
the comic opera world as Frances Booth,
died in ibis city on Saturday under such
circumstances that the police and the cor
oner are making a rigorous investigation.
The girl died at the house of Mrs.
Cloary, 1888 Parrish street, and after mid
night the body was quietly removed to the
home of her parents in Orkney street,
where 1t awaits burial.
Mrs Ceary is said to be well known to
the criminal authorities, having been i'm
plicated in other suspicious deaths. The
cause OF the girl S death was heart failure,
due to nervous debility, according to the
report of Dr. Edward Kirk who was call
ed in to attend her by young man nam
ed Carl Brown, who Is said 20 have been
betrothed to her. One story Is that the
yonng couple went to New York last
Tuesday and returned two days later.
While in the office of her affianced at
Broad and Chestnut, this city, on Friday,
she became ILL., A carriage was called, and
she was driven to Mrs Cleary's house,
where she died the next day.
Mrs. Cleary declares that the girl be-
came III while In a street car and came TO
her house for aid. Mr.. Brown, who Is 30
years of age, was summoned by the coro-
ner, who privately examined him, but he
declined TO discuss the affair with outsid-
ers. The dead girl had been with the Pau
line Hall opera company, the Aborn COM
pany, Rice's burlesque company and was
engaged for the season of grand comic op-
era of the Castle Square theater company
of Boston, which will open here on the
goth inst
A post mortem examination developed
the fact that the girls death had been the
result of n criminal operation. Mrs. Cleary
was held by the police on suspicion of
having been implicated, and II is said that
other arrests will follow.
