Asa Harrington died very suddenly
last Friday morning. He had been in

until few hours before his death. He
was the last of family of FIVE brothers
and two sisters, whose father came to

ninety years ago, settling on the farm
now occupied by Jonas Harrington. The
deceased was the youngest of the family
and was 81 years of age. His wife was
a daughter OF the late Deacon Newcomb
who passed away few years ago. Since
that time his son, Frank Harrington,
has lived with him. The deceased had
a large circle of relatives. Born here,
married here and lived long~life here.
His neighbors and friends will miss him,
for he was always here. He leaves two
daughters, Mrs. E. Carpenter of this
town and Mrs. Collins Of Lowell, and
one son and one grandson, to mourn for
one who had been a link uniting the
past with the present. He could re-
hearse many stories of the early settlers
and their experiences, and noted many

Secretary of State John Hay had a
high place in the confidence and es

news of his sudden death on Satur-
day last has caused keen regret

months it was thought when he
went abroad last March that a few
weeks respite from the exciting
duties of his office would restore him
to good health. He returned re-
Gently in apparently improved health

home at Lake Sunapee, N. H. A
turn for the worse set in last Thurs
day, from which he failed to rally
and early Saturday morning passed
away. His death is everywhere
recognized as national loss, for he
served the nation ably and with
patriotic devotion, in places of trust
and responsibility. He had, in fact,
worn himself out in that service, his
illness having been caused by over
work.
So passes the chief figure in this
administration, outside the Execu-
tive. he dies full of honors, a man
of remarkable intellectual powers, a
gentleman in all the walks of life;
above all, one who ever held as of

A FIirt and a Couuette,

There is all the difference in the
world between a firt and coquette,
although to many the terms are sy-
nonymous. "The coquette," accord
ing to one authority, "uses man as
she does her dresses-she likes to be
seen with a new one every day. She
kills for the sake of killing. She
plays on mans vanity to satisfy
hers. The firt, on the other hand,
is not serious, and she does not
want you to take her seriously. She
wants fun, innocent fun, and if you
can make up your mind to accept
her for what she is worth she may
help you to pass very pleasant
time. The coquette tries to lead
you as far as she wishes you to go.
The firt does not lead you any far
Their than you wish to go. F'lirts
often make good wives; coquettes
never" There you have the whole
thing in a nutshell.-London An

Marriage of the Dead.

A strange custom prevails among
a certain tribe in the Caucasus.
When a single young man dies, some
one who has carried to the grave
manageable daughter in the
course of the year calls upon the be-
reaved parents and says:
"YoE son is sure to want a wife.
I'll give you my. daughter, and you
shall deliver to lmeothe marriage
portion in return"
A friendly offer of this descrip-
ton is never rejected, and the two
parties soon come to terms as to
the amount of the dowry, which
varies according to the advantages
possessed by the girl in her lifetime.
Cases have been known where the
young mans father has given as

dead wife for his dead son.

The late Professor Laycock of
Edinburgh university used to divide
idiots into two classes-poverty
idiots and luxury idiots. The for
mer were characterized by physical
deformity and the latter by refined
and delicate confguration, small
heads and great prominence of the
central region Of the face. The lux
ury idiots, whom he traced to indo-
lence and self indulgence through
many generations with breeding in
and in, he called also spoon bill"
idiots and used to point out that
they were of the type represented
as aristocratic noodles. There was
less breeding in and in among the
upper classes than there used to be,
but he himself did not doubt that
exemption for a number of genera
lions from any participation in the
struggle for existence, with high
feeding and effeminacy, tended to
induce mental weakness of a special
type.-London Telegraph.

Foss Loses His Case.

All OF last week was consumed by
the case OF E. 6. Foss VS.. John S.
Scofeld's estate. A large number OF
witnesses were put on "pro and
con-" and that human nature is so
constructed that it can can see things
differently was strongly brought out
in the examination OF the witnesses.
For instance, one physicians swore
that he believed Mr.. Scofeld was
fully able to sign a note in the last
days of his illness, while another says
that he was utterly unable to do so
an expert on handwriting said that
the signature to the note was for
gerry, while another says it was gen
uine, and so on through the entire
case. Neither side had any great
trouble to produce witnesses for the
points they wished to make.
Each day the attendance was
large, and a large proportion of the
spectators were ladies'" good look
ing ladies'" said prominent court
official. The sparring between the
attorneys was mild and nothing of
special Importance was elected in the
examination of the witnesses.
At noon Saturday the examination
Of witnesses was conf leted and re-
cess was taken until 10 o'clock We'd
ncsday morning, at which time the
arguments were commenced.
Court resumed business Wednes-
day morning and in spite of the ex-
IRENE heat the attendance waslarge-
especially in the afternoon, when the
room was crowded. The entire day
was used in making the arguments
and all of the speakers, Messrs,
Cheney and Billiard for Foss and
Messrs Redmond and Hulburd for
the Scofeld estate, made eloquent
pleas and elected many congratula-
tons. Thursday morning Judge
Tyler charged the jury, giving them
a clear and concise address, and at
10 o'clock the case, which has been
before the court eight days, was
given to the jury,
The jury was out about halt an
hour when they brought in a verdict
for Scoheld estate, stating that Plff.
had not made out his case in the
manner and form alleged and that
Deft. should have costs.
