question OF conditions, the con-
tiental governments had spread

and commercial influence, the old
powers insigated by Russia and
abetted by France and Germany,
sought to coax America from the
isolated position which ia her
principal strength and coerce her
into acting in concert with iheu.
From the very first, Russia has
viewed with the utmost disp.easuse
Americas success at Manila. She
is as much opposed as Germany is
to an American protectorate or
laval or ooaling stations in the
Spanish Archipelagoes. So
Russia prompted the attitude OF
France in that regard with the
entire approval of Germany.
Spain had also received assur
ancc thae France. Russia and the
triple alliance would not tolerate
an active war policy of this country
in the Mediterranean sea Or along
the coasts OF the Spanish peninsula
or Morocco should the war be
prolonged. All this determined
the Madrid cabinet to make peace
overtures with view CT CO ming to

stoned officer in the Union army, not
yet having reached his nineteenth year.
Soon after it's organization young
CIRCUITS regiment was ordered to
Pootsville, Md, and on the 21st OF
October, 1861, he lost his life at the
conflict of Balls Bluff, after display
ing the most remarkable calmness and
courage in seeking to repulse the enc
my. One writer has said in his &C
count of the conflict: THE GOODNESS,
self-possession and courage of Lieut..
Grout were noticed by his comrades
with establishment, and greatly Jtlmu-
lated the courage Of others. When the
day was lost, and they were forced to
retreat to the river, he seemed to be
utterly regardless Of himself in his de-
sire to have the wounded conveyed to
the opposite shore. To his honor let
it ever be remembered that he crossed
the stream in safety with boatload OF
sufferers, and seeing them safely land
ed. returned to render like assistance
to others, and continued to do so un-
til he was Obliged to plunge into the
stream to save his own life. He had
reached the middle of the river when
he exclaimed to a comrade at his side:
"Tell company D 1 could have reached
the shore, but am shot and must
sink" and he disappeared from sight.
Several weeks later his body was re-
covered and placed in Rural cemetery,
Worcester, and a splendid monument
erected over it. Young Grout was
frequent and ever-welcome visitor at
the home of Henry S. Washburn, Of
Worcester, and the young soldier and
Mr.. Washburn's son were intimate
friends and companions. When the
news of the young lieutenant's death
reached Worcester it created great sor-
row in many homes and caused Mr..
Washburn to write "The Vacant
Chair" Speaking of the song, Mr..
Washburn says: my writing of The
Vacant Chair was entirely unpremed-
itated. 1t grew out of the interest 1
took in Grout as promising young
officer, the intimate companion Of my
son. Deploring deeply his death at the
very threshold Of military career, and
knowing that he would be missed so
tenderly at the fireside and table of
his family, on the approaching Thanks

The poem came to the notice of the
late George F. Root, who set it to mu-
sic. and very soon it was being sung
by many camp fires and in thousands
of homes. 1t would be impossible to
estimate the number Of copies Of 1t that
have been sold, but. as has been the
case with some other immensely popu-
lar songs, this very large sale brought
no pecuniary profit to the author or
"The Vacant Chair" because Of his
failure to copyright it. Indeed he did
not receive even the credit due him
for writing the song since it was pub
lished over the initials of his name
only and when set to music by Mr..
Root it appeared without Mr.. Wash
burns name, so that in many homes in
which the song was sung and loved the
real name of the author is not known.
Indeed, in some instances, Mr.. Root has
received credit for both the music and
the words.
Mr.. Washburn, now in his S5th year,
is resident of the beautiful Brookline
district of Boston. The picture given
of him was taken on the sixtieth ami
versary Of his marriage, in November
last, Mr.. Washburn and his wife sitting
for their photographs on that day. 1t
was not until three or four years ago
that Mr.. Washburn published his
poems In book form.

kinds, from day to day. The teamster
rarely ever ovcrtaXes his strength. Fa-
miliarity with the class of wares he
handles, enables him to entirely gage the
load he lifts so as not to put an excessive
burden on himself. But with the farmer
it is different. He is lifting loads of such
VARYING weights and under such varying
conditions that he is very liable TO lift a
little too much some day with injurious
results. Many serious affections OF the

was born in the beautiful colonial
home of his parents in Worcester,
Mass, John William Grout, boy whose
short life endeared him to all who
knew him, and whose death in the de-
tense of his country gave rise to one OF
the tenderest and most beautiful Of all
the melodies of war. Young Grout
grew to manhood's years in the city OF
Worcester, and from the very begin
ming of the war he was eager to volun-
teer, but was kept from doing so at first
by the pleadings Of his parents, who
felt that he was too young to begin
such service, and who felt that the war
would be brief. But as the call for
troops became more urgent they gave
their consent, and when the Massa-
chusetts Fifteenth regiment was organ

It and received the commission of sec

VULGAR WORDS.
A Problem That Has Bothered the
Makers of Dictionaries.

A Problem That Has Bothered the
Makers of Dictionaries.
Editors of the leading dictionaries
nf the United States and Great Britain
have always been bothered by the
question of what to do with vulgar
words. We all know that there are
large number of words not usually in
vogue in polite society, that have
distinct meaning. yet nobody would
think of looking in a dictionary for
their origin. They do not appear well
in print. Realizing the delicacy of the
nroblem the editors of most of our ad-
yanced dictionaries have either ignor-
ed them altogether or segregated them
into supplement form. The Standard
Dictionary, lately from press and by all
odds the best work Of the kind now in
existence, treats the subject with the
same breath of catholicity that marks
its general features. Only few Of the
vulgar expressions are noted, and they
appear in their proper place in the
body of the book. The editors call at
tention to the .deplorableness Of the
common use of such words which JUS
titles their being defined. They have
unquestionably taken the proper course
in the matter. There are large num-
Der of words that should never be put
in print in supplement or any other
form. There are others that can prop
erly be excused. The Standard limit is
in strict accord with propriety and
good judgment. See advertisement in
