coffee as a deodorizer in the neu-

when other disinfectiag agents would

The servant returned when the gentleman

"Did you see him?" said the gentleman,

Government in Kansas, and in q mes


sage to Congress denounced it as an
act of rebellion. Mr.. PIERCE was a can
didate for denomination, but being


beaten by JAMES BUCHANAN, retired to
private life. He travelled in Europe
until 1860, when he returned home.


He made a strong Union speech to a
mass meeting at Concord, New Hamp-
shire, on April 81, 1861, calling
upon the people to give the Ma
tional Administration a strong and
hearty support. Throughout the war ne
earnestly desired the suppression of the
rebellion, but when this was accom-
plished, he opposed the schemes OF SUBJ
jugation and usurpation that have
since been carried out by the dominant
party. Yesterday he closed long and
eventful life. While he possessed few
elements of character such as marked
our greatest statesmen, he had a
strong practical mind, thorough cul-
ture aud superior judgment. He will
not rank with the first of our Presi-
dents, but the Office of Chief Magis-
trate has certainly been filled by not a
few men of far less ability, experience
and honest purpose than were possessed
