ho me and made it an attractive cen
ter, where many of the foremost men
of the State enjoyed delightful hospi-
tali6y and charming good fellowship.
Three score years and ten-the
Psalmist's limit of life-haying been
passed more than ten years, it was
the ambition of the Chief Justice, as
he himself expressed it to me and to
others, to die in the harness. His am
bition was gratified, for in very
truth he did die in the harness, doing
to the very last the full measure Of
his duty, faithfully, vigorously, ably
and conseientiously in the great
trust confided to his sacred keeping
for full thirty-three years, from 1864
to 1897, bv four Governors of our be-
loved commonwealth.
The home has indeed lost its below
ed and devoted head, the community
its most distinguished citizen, the lu-
dietary and the Bar Of New Jersey a
charming associate and great master
of the law and the State a good and
faithful public servant, whose re-
nown will ever shed lustre on her his
toric page already bright with many
famous names.
With hearts bowed down and sor-
rowing, let us close this SAD memorial
hour, with those ever-beautiful
poetic words:
Green be the turf above thee,
Friend of my better days;
None knew thee but to love thee,
Nor named thee but to praise.
Tears fell when thou vert dying,
From eyes unused to weep,
And long where thou art lying,
VIII tears the cold turf steep.
When hearts, whose truth was proven
Like thine, are laid in earth,
There should wreath be woven,
To tell the world their worth.
1t should be mine to braid it,
Around thv faded brow,
But I've in vain essayed it,
And feel | cannot now.
While memory bids me weep thee
Nor thoughts or words are free;
The grief is fixed too deeply,
That mourns a man like thee.

Lowell and the Boy.

An author whose home was in coun-
try town had planned days outing in
| BOSTON. He intended to transact a LITTLE
business, see few sights and crown the
| day by attending reception given 10
James Russell Lowell. He had nade
up his mind, after some consideration,
TO take his little son with him fer AN
early glimpse of distinguished society.
OF course the small boy, who had never
before been in the city, was delighted,
and in due timo the pair set out.
On their return the other members Of
the family clustered about them, and as
they unwound the little fellow from his
heavy furs and mufflers he was asked
eagerly, What did ysu see in Boston"
1--WE thaw," camo the answer in y
breathless burst, the anaoonda and the
fat woman and the Living Hsrculsths.
They had been to museum Of curl
osities, as we'll as to an auther's reesp-
tion, and-according to youthful rules
of precedence-Mr. Lowell naturally
ranked long way after this renowned
trio.
Nevertheless the boy bore away two
distinct memories of the poet, though
in the first it is probable that the Liv-
ing Hercules had his share, having
doubtless suggested the topic Of CONVEX
sation, which was physical strength.
Mr. Lowell had narrated to his open
mouthed, small auditor an anecdote of
a prizefghter who in danger Of being
run over in crowded London thorough
fare, had knocked down and killed
horse with blow between the eyes.
His other recollections are Of his own

of as overpunctilious and fastidious-

Logging Railroads.

Time was when the logs were drawn
over roads of snow and ice on the great
rude sledges to the banks of some river,
springtims, when they would be fioated
down stream TO the mills. In some
places the system is still in vogue, but
in large measure all this has been
changed. Logging railroads have been
built into the forests, enabling the own
ers OF pine lands to reach forests far
from any stream. Spurs from the main
branch OF the road are built out like the
fingers on an enormous hand clutching
at the defenseless pines. After "a tortu
Gus passage through the paths Of the
woods the log is loaded upon the skid
way-an incline leading down to the
railway track. The skids are long,
tough poles Of tamarack or some hard
wood, placed about 20 feet apart

Fiction's Unjust Treatment Of the Rich

A grievance that has been treated
very injudiciously in many works Of
fiction is the relation of the rich to the
poor. Absolutely false ideas as to how
the rich get their wealth and what
they do with it when they get it have
been persistently tloated by novelists, for
whom (as for the journalist) a million
aire is always fair game. 1t is not worth
while to expend any sympathy upon
the millionalres i'll this matter, as they
can struggle along under considerable
weight of vituperation, but the rest of
us cannot afford to be put continually
in a false attitude toward wealth.
Hatred or envy of the rich is not pleas
ant companion for our leisure hours,
and the poorer we are the less pleasant
company 1T is likely to be. 1t interferes
with our working to the best advantage
and cuts us off from opportunities Of
accommodating the very wealth that
might ease our pains. -Droch in Ladies'

Tennyson and the Peerage.

Three times the baronetcy was offered
TO Tennyson, and as many times he re-
fused it When, therefore, one day in
1888, Mr. Gladstone said to the laure-
ate's son that for the sake of literature
he wished to offer his father the higher
distinction Of a barony, there was grave
doubt about its acceptance. The only
difficulty which the prime minister
thought insurmountable was the posi-
BILE insistence by Tennyson on his right
to wear his wide awake in the house
OF lords. Tennyson was SO well beyond
the mere tiattery of an offer of the peer
age that he took the friendly urgence of
Mr.. Gladstone with great calmness
and at first was not to be moved from
his determination to remain plain Mr.
Tennyson to the end Of his days.
He was finally persuaded, however,
that as the foremost representative Of
literature in England he ought not to
put aside a distinction which would
mark the formal recognition of the place
and function of literature in the life Of
a great people. Il cannot but be touch
ed, " he wrote to Mr. Gladstone, by
the friendliness of your desire shat this
mark of distinction should be conferred
on myself, and rejoice that you. who
have shown such true devotion to liter
allure by pursuing it in the midst Of
what seems to most of US overwhelming

PLAYED A BUNCO GAME.
The Charge by COuntryman
Against John Rushing.

Against John Rushing.
John Rushing, white man, was ar
rested yesterday on warrant for larceny
after trust, and committed to Jail by Jus
tice Wickham. Thomas Carroll of Eman-
uel county swore out the warrant against
Rushing. He said he gave him $40 and
his pocket knife to keep for him last Sat-
urday. He was to get the money and
his knife back when he asked for them.
When he did so, however, he got the
CLASSY stare from Rushing, who profess
ed never to have seen him before.
Carroll had never seen Rushing except
on one occasion, in Emanuel county. He
did not know his name, but the fact of
Rushing having seen the countryrnan ON
his native heath gave him a good chance
TO strike up an acquaintance. Carroll
gave up his money and his knife with a
readiness that should not have been found
IN even the rawest countryman that had
turned his sixtieth year.
When Carroll appeared before the mag
istrate, he did not even know the name
OF the man whom he wished to have ar
rested. He was able to describe him, how
ever, and with an exactness that suggest
ed Rushing to Constable Kiley. That Of
nicer hunted Rushing up and took him to
the magistrates office, where Carroll iden-
tined him as the man who had kept what
he had given him too well.
Rushing professed a total Ignorance of
the occurrence and said he had never seen
Carroll before. Outside evidence brought
IN established the fact that he had been
seen with him though, and the Justice de-
cided he would send Rushing to jail,
