Webster as a Drinker.

Daniel Webster was invited to Rich.
mond in the fifties He accepted the
invitation, came to. Richmond and
went to the Exchange hotel. He was
invited by the state legislature to ad-
dress them and the people of Rich
mond, and a committee consisting of
James Lyons Of Richmond and Robert
E. Scott Of Fauquier, two of the most
eminent lawyers in the state, were sent
down to the hotel to escort him to the
capitol building. They found Mr..
Webster in state of intoxication in
such degree that Mr.. Lyons said to
Mr. Scott: ''This man can't make a
speech. You must take his place."
Mr.. Scott replied, "No man can take
the place. of Daniel Webster"
After delay, during which Mr.. Web
ster improved little, he was asked If
he would go to the capitol. He replied.
eyes" With great difficulty Messrs.
Scott and Lyons supported and helped
him to the capital. When they reached
the rotunda near the Washington stat
lie, Mr.. Lyons said, 'NIr. Webster, do
you think you can speak?' eff you
will give me drink of brandy, yes"
A messenger was sent to neighpor-
ing hotel and a bottle of brandy
brought. Mr.. Webster poured out
successfully two goblets full and drank
them off, Strengthened himself up,
shcok himself as Lion might have
done, walked steadily and directly to
the position from which he spoke, on
the south porch of the capitol, and in
the presence of an audience OF 5000
people, which consisted of the intel
lectuality and beauty of Richmond,
male and female, made his celebrated
October speech, one of the greatest
even of his life.
Edward Everett related that on the
day Webster replied to Hayne of
South Carolina he walked with him to
the capitol; that he seemed so badly
prepared that he doubted him and
feared that he was not equal to the
occasion; that just before he rose to !
speak The drank a goblet of brandy and
then made his great speech in reply
to Hayne. Which is an English classic. |
Such was the effect of the beverage
on Webster.

Things Had Changed.

Once upon time an honest and in
dustrious son of northern Sweden emil
grated and came to the United States.
At the end of thirty years he retired
with competence.
THE first use he made Of his leisure
was to revisit the old country, intend
ing to remain year or two among the
scenes of his boyhood, but in two or
three months he turned up ut his form
or place of business, which, it is hardly
necessary to say, was in Minneapolis.
Glow is this?" they asked him.
"What brings you back so soon?
"Well," he said, 1.-The old country

get any sleep. It's dayligt till it's
midnight. and the next morning begins
right away already yet"

Irish Eve, of Blue.

1t does not appear in the least re-
markable to me that Irish eyes should
possess, us they certainly do, charm
that is theirs exclusively, when one
stops to consider the history, tempera-
ture and general characteristics of the
sturdy sons and daughters Of the
Emerald Isle, says a writer in the
Boston Republic.
The eye is what the soul makes it,
and, like true indicator, it records
the character of it's possessor. The
Irish eye most eloquently bespeaks the
character Of Ireland's people
Deep and blue as the great waves of
the ocean, tender and sparkling as the
lovelight Of the stars, brave and fear
less as the heart Of the steel-clad war;
rior, peerless eyes of blue! The undy-
ing patriotism of generations, the con-
tinuous struggle for freedom, the
faith in their holy religion, and the

trdnes Of the church by means of satir-
izing the devil. But the eighteenth
century was the heyday of the cartoon.
Beginning in France and over-running
into Holland, and thence across the
Channel into England, the flood of
carlcaturists carried everything before
it, and it is sife to say that we read
the history of the times with clearer
vision and with more accuracy Of de-
tail for the mirror which caricaturists
held up to reflect the striking peculiar,-
ties of the men and events passing be-
fore it.
Gautier mentions a Spanish car
toonist, Francisco Gaya Y Lucientes,
mixture of Rembrandt, Vatican and
Rabelais, who preceded the two great
caricaturists of the latter half of the
eighteenth century, George Cruikshank
in England and Nj. Charlet in France.
Charlet is known as the father Of mod
ern social caricature and holds as good
title to his position as does Philipau
to that of the father Of comic Journal
ism, with LIE Charivari, the strongest
paper Of it's kind. Then came Punch,
in England, which still retains it's sub
title of the London Charivari," for
years the faithful if not the most
highly polished reflector of British life.
Upon its staff John Leech, Richard
Doyle, John Fenniel, George du Maui
rier and a dozen men of lesser name
kept Great Britain in good humor for
two generations.
1t has been reserved for America,
however, to bring forth new race Of
caricaturists, which for lack of a bet
ter title may be called the personal
cartoonists, who seize upon the char
acteristics of an individual and so ex-
aggerate them that the subjects of the
cartoons are known by the most prom
inent features in their physician, mental,
or moral makeup.
True, there was one man in London
a hundred years ago-Gillray by name
who had this faculty of dissecting
his subject until he found his weakest
point and then numerically pricking
it with his drawing-pencil; but with
him the race died out, to be reincar-
mated in America. Gillray was II close
observer of people and events. He
would sit in his publishers window
and watch the fops of the court as
they passed and fasten in his memory
every feature by which man related
to the traits of character of those in
the public eye, and the st. James
street of 1900 is faithfully reproduced
in his art
Perhaps Americans look at the droll
side of life more than other people,
but certain it is they have more and
better cartoonists than elsewhere. The
very quickness with which they see
the point of joke demands equal ia
cility in portraying drollery in a car
toon. They sketch boldly and leave
much of the unnecessary detail to
slower people.

Art Of carlcature.

There is no telling when the art of
caricature began. There are number
of grotesQues that have come down
to us from earliest Egyptian times.
The Greeks employed pictures to en-
phasize their satire, and so did the Ro-
mans. All through the Middle Ages
there We're numberless examples Of
"grotesqueries" which, curiously

There is No Death.

Incr" is no death! although we grieVe
When beautiful, familiar forms
That we have learned to love are torn
From our embracing arms.
Although with bowed and breaking
heart,
With sable garb and silent tread,
We bear their senseless dust to rest,
And say that they are "dead.'
They are not dead! they have but
passed
Beyond the mists that blind us here
Into the new and larger life
or that serener sphere.
They have but dropped their robe Of
clay
To put their shining raiment on;
They have not wandered far away
They are not 'lost' or "gone.'
Though disenthralled and glorified,
They still are here and love us yet;
The dear ones that they left behind
They never can forget.
And sometimes when our hearts grow
faint
Amid temptations fierce and deep,
Or when the wildly raging waves
OF grief or passion sweep,
We feel upon our fevered brow
Their gentle touch, their breath Of
balm;
Their arms enfold us, and our hearts
Grow comforted and calm.
And ever near us, though unseen,
The dear, immortal spirits tread;
For all the boundless universe
Is life-there are no dead.
There is no death! the stars go down
To rise upon some other shore,
And bright in heavens jeweled crown
They shine forever more.
There is no death! the forest leaves
Convert to life the viewless air;
The rocks disorganize to feed
The hungry moss they bear.
There is no death! the dust we tread
Shall change, beneath the summer
showers,
10 golden grain, or mellow fruit,
Or rainbow tinted flowers.
There is, no death! the leaves may fall,
The flowers may fade and pass
They only wait, through wintry hours.
The warm, sweet breath of May.
There is no death! the choicest gifts
That heaven hath kindly lent to
earth
Are ever first to seek again
The country of their birth.
And all things that for growth or joy
Are worthy Of our love and care,
Whose loss has left us desolate,
Are safely garnered there.
Though life become dreary waste,
We know its fairest, sweetest flow-
ers
Transplanted into paradise,
Adorn immortal bowers.
The voice of birdlike melody
That we have missed and mourned
so long,
Now mingles with the angel choir
In everlasting song.

Shenandoah, Pa, August 11.-Com- plaint was made at brigade hcadquar- ters today that the strikers are for&G- ing in the rich agricultural district of Catawissa valley, north of here The life of one farmer IS being threatened because he attempted to protect his property, and the raids have reached such serious proportions that the far merS are preparing to take some con certed action to stop further depreda- tion. It is not unlikely that cavalry will be sent into the district tomorrow to stop the raids.
 Lucien Mundeck, a farmer, reported that for some time past raids have been made on his place by parties Of men. Early today he caught q man tearing out whole stalks of corn. He ordered the man off the place. and as the lat ter was leaving he fired two shots at the farmer. The forageis do not con- fine themselves tC stealing crops, but also take poultry.
 The soldiers ill camp are daily feed ing several hundred women and chil- dren. They come there saying that they are hungry, and as there is more than enough food in the camp to sup ply the wants of the men. the officers permit the soldiers to give something to needy applicants.
 Colonel Hoffman of the Eighth rcgi- ment was asked if all these persc ms were foreigners, and he replied tina good many belonged to the English speaking classes. The officials of the mine workers union deny that there is any actual want. They maintain that the local unions are well able at this time to take care of all cases of distress.

ico and California. The Spanish gov ernment expelled the Jesuits in 1767 and seized all their property, which there after was administered by the Fran ciscans. When Mexico gained her in dependence she took charge of the fund. In 1S42 Mexico sold the properties for a fund and guaranteed the church au- thorities per cent on it in perpetuity.
 At the time California was ceded to the United States Mexico stopped pay ing this interest. In 1864 Mexico paid $904, ,1G0 arrears, on an award made in favor of the church authorities by Sir Edward Thornton. Since then nothing has been paid.
 Archbishop Riordan of San Francisco sailed on the Celtic on Wednesday last for Europe. He will go to The Hague. where he will present the church's claim for interest on the fund.
