 The presence of tho Speaker in chi- cago was not generally known except among the congressional leaders. He did not appear at the Cannon head quarters, but spent all his time in an upper chamber of the Union League Club, where a steady line Of prominent leaders took their turn in .conferring with him. Mr. Cannon was in his usual good nature, but he did not dis guise the fact that he was very deeply interested in this platform plank and would do what he felt the scircum- stances required to see that consis- tent course was pursued. One Of his intimates said tonight: ,s

Mitchell was an eyewitness of the
Paris outbreaks Of 184s. and he de-
scribed them in his second book, en-
titled "The Battle Summer"
New York now called him. He
edited there a satirical and humorous
paper, THE Lorgnette," contributing
TO it special articles of his own signed
"John Timon" Subsequently these
articles we're printed in two small vol
umes.
All this time Mr. Mitchell had been
working out the various chapters of
the book which was to make him
known not only throughout the United
States, but also in foreign countries
"Reveries Of Bachelor" The first
"reverie' appeared in The Southern
Literary Messenger" then a leading
literary periodical published in Rich
mond.
The "Reveries of a Bachelor" at
once became widely popular. When
the second edition was issued Mr..
Mitchell says he began to revise the
book. and then. because revision
would have completely changed It,

After the publication of Dream
Life" in 1851, a book only second in
success to the "Reyeries." Mr.. Mitch
ell in 1853 realized one Of the most
vivid of his dreams by marrying Miss
Mary f. Pringle of Charleston, s. c.
The same year President Pierce ap-
pointed him consul at Venice. Accom-
panied by his wife, he spent year
in that city, part Of the time being
given to collecting materials for a
history of the republic Of Venice,
which he never completed On his
return to this country in 1856 he set
tied upon his farm at Edgewood.
Mr.. Mitchell was for some time as
sociate editor of the Hearth and
Home. New York. and frequently ap-
peared as a lecturer. He had a large
acquaintance among literary men, he
was intimate with Washington Irving,
to whom he dedicated his Dream
Life" Longfellow, Hawthorne, Bryant
and n. p. Willis.
Mr.. Mitchell changed his style after
middle age, and wrote many things
more practical than would seem pos
sible for the author of Dream Life"
He became noted as landscape gar
dener, and his utterances thereon are
authority. The park at East Rock,
New Haven, Conn, was laid out and
adorned by his directions, and so were
many private parks and grounds.
Mr.. Mitchell had IL children. His
wife died on December 5, 1901, after
a happy married life of more than AS
years.

Primrose day. set apart by The ad-
mirers OF Disraeli, is still observed by
them in England, we believe. &c
eording to information contained in
Henry W. Lucys recently published
parliamentary "reminiscences, there
is no reason why its observance
should be continued under that name
It's designation is based upon the as
sumption that the primrose was Lord
Beaconsfeld's favorite flower. At his
funeral a wreath Of primroses lay on
his coffin bearing the inscription:
His favorite flower" to which the
queens initials were added. II seems.
however. that when the queen wrote
the inscription she had in mind the
prince consort and his cherished
flower Mr. Lucy remarks that the
only remembered observation made By
Disraeli concerning primroses was
that they made an excellent salad.
