If we had been writing the ninetieth
psalm, we should not have left the I'M
preston that threescore years and ten
signified even the beginning of the
end; we should have suggested that as
suitable time for the recognition OF
genius worth, friendship, character,
good deeds. Such would surely be a
pretty custom and one tending to en-
liven our ill-nourished and sadly neg
lected sympathies. If 1t now prevailed,

The death Of lockwood Hoar on the
eve of his reelection to congress, COM
pletes the strange similarity of con-
gressional fortune between him and his
kinsmen. OF the five congressman
named Hoar from Massachusetts, only
one. the late senator, served more than
a single term. Samuel Hoar, the sons-
in-law of Roger Sherman, was sent to
the house under Van Buren,, but at the
next election a democrat succeedei
him. His son, the first lockwood Hoar,
also served one term in the house. dur
ing the second presidency of General
Grant, but declined reelection and
was succeeded by a democrat. His son,
Sherman Hoar, was elected for one
term as democrat while residing in
waltham. but not reelected. And now
the second lockwood Hoar, cousin of
Sherman, dies without completing his
single term.
