GEORGE GRAHAM VEST.

After an Illness of many weeks,
and several years of ill health, George
Graham Vest. the distinguished Mis-
souri, Democrat, answers the final
summons. In the history of his coun-
try his name will be remembered,
and in the history Of Missouri he
will rank along with Benton and the
greatest of her sons. For years he
and the man who on the floor of the
Senate or on the stump could lei
ure swords with him, was indeed a
giant among men. His Democracy
was pure and u%ntainted, and he glo-
ried in his craftsmanship. Yet his
friendships were not limited by party
was one of his most intimate friends.
AS illustrative of the character of
the man. IL will be remembered that
when Quay desired a seat in the
Senate on the credentials of a Gov
ernor's appointment, contrary to the
precedent of the Senate and estab-
lished- usage, Vest voted against his
best friend that a principle might. be
upheld which he believed 5ast and
right. Strong as was his attachment
to friends, stronger yet was his love
for the principles he espoused. Brill
liant as an orator, great of intellect,
loyal to his constituency, il will be
many years before Missouri will
adopt another son, the peer Of the
Little Giant"

WORCESTER, Mass, Jan "a spe-
cial from Athol says that James Oliver,
twenty-three, who has just died here
had the most peculiar brain trouble
ever known by ten physicians of
Worcester county who performed an
autopsy soon after death. Ten years
ago young Oliver struck his head on
rock while diving. He had head
aches frequently, then gradually lost
his eyesight and finally became totally
blind. His senses were so acute that he
could make his way about the town as
well as ever and recognized people and
objects by the touch. Much interest is
taken in the case by physicians, as a
similar case was never heard Of in this
part Of the country
