when "chosen for the otliee by tlu peo

December, A. D. 1850, at Quanlico,
Somerset county, Mil. For the place
of his birth there is no apology needed
further than that ho "hail to be bom
somewhere," as Andrew Jackson, of
Tennessee, said of himself, in answer to
a taunt that Wavhaw, North Carolina,
was his own humble b'rth place, itself
in name, like Paulson's, suggestive of
aboriginal origin. Indian names aro
numerous on tho Eastern Shore of
-Maryland, which has also been called
by a recent writer in Jfurjter'n Jfuiu

of rivers of waters." One of theao gives
name to the new county of Wicomico.
set off from Somerset a few years atro.
. i , , . i ., a ,
in which is locaieu tne nine town ot
Quantico.
lhat was the first place to which the
late Uev. Uobeit II. Pattison, D. I).,
for many years gram chaplain of the
ioiljre ot Masons in Pennsylvania, ivai
inpointed, after his mairiau'e with Misi
Catharine Woolfurd, of Cambiitlge. by
mo priisitiing bisliou ot the l'hiliulel
phia M. E. conference, which at that
time included the peninsitl i within its
bounds. A xhort time thereafter tho
father's appointment was to Odessa,
Delaware, and next to Philadelphia
when the first born sou was but six
years old.
HIS KIIUCAIION.
Robert was at once started to school,
and, entering the primal y, passed dur
ing the years following through the
successive grades of the common schools,
tho glory ot our connuun wealth, on up
lo and through the Penu grammar and
central high school, Hero young Pat-
tison made his lirst speech, being called
upon to deliver tho valedictory address, '
and graduating with the hi
best honors
of the fifty fifth class. In this way he
liecamo known to J,ewis C Uassidy,
esq , then a member of the bo.ird uf
education, in whose ollico he Rgi.-leied
as a law student in December, 18G9,
with tho recommendation of Ptofcssor
(leorgo Inmaii liicho, the high school
principal.
llio elder ratli.son had intended his
son should graduate also at Dickinson
ollege, whete he himself had be-n
t ducated, having named him in honor
of ono of the most honored presidents
of that institution. Robot t Eniorv was
native of Philadelphia, afterward a
law student of Reertl Johnson, in
lialtimoro, and in thu end a divine of
great learning anil masterly in manhood.
Such a man, too, was the hcnior Patti
son, one whosu knightly appearance
and chivalrio bearing coexisted with
great kindness of manner, that made
him friends in all ela.-ses ot society, and
caused him to bo mourned in death
which came to him in 187" wherever
his personal and social worth were
known. His solicitude or the future
of his only son may be best expressed
in worJs written by .laini s Mill to
Jeteiny Deuthatn, with reference to his
son, .lolih Miiart .Mill: "However, tt 1
were lo die mi) tiino before this poor
boy is a man, into of the things which
would pinch mo tno.t Mrclv would be
tho being obliged to leave his mind till-
tnaile to the tlegrte ot ext'elU nco 1 hope
for.
a n'rrnnsr op law.
Foitiitiately Dr. Patt'enn did live to
sio his sou unbelt npply himself not
only lo tho inasteiy of law books in the
olhee, but also alter ollico hours at
home, to general literature, and es
pecially to ihe history of the old Feudal
lays; so tamiliaiiziiig hiui'cll with the
groundwork of hi oilmen profession,
a'id!at tho satuo time keeping up with
the limes in bis general reading during
hnlf holiday, ami on hU wav to
and fro, 'iho father lived to seo iiim a
good student of human nature as well,
using tho ample oiipoitunity Mr. Ca-si
ly s largo crimttml practice allordetl lor
this; and in every y.iy at his command
thoroughly qualifying himself for ad
mission to tho Philadelphia bar, where
ho entered upon tho practice of law on
his own account in 1872. That year
tho voting lawyer was married to Anna,
daughter of Edwin A. Smith, of Pliila
iliilpllia, ami settled down in tho small
two story liouso .12 17 Hansom street,
wnere no uas continued to reside ever
since, and whero two children, a boy
and a girl, have been born to them in
their happy home.
prom tho ago of sovonteeu, when ho
was already tlovoloped bayoiid his
years following in tho footsteps of hit
grandfather on his mother's side, Col
Thomas Woolford, wlt i oouumudod in
tho Maryland lino in tho Involution try
war, Pattison had bi-on iv p ipuhn
member of tho l'uurih Ujgiineiti Penn
...i i..,. , ., ...
hvivuuiu .uuuia, i;u w.'i as in. p nv
niavcs, a id ho was sub

DAT. SEPTEMBER
identified with Iho reorganization of the
Stale Fono'tbles.
I.AWYKH, OltATOIt AND MILITIAMAN.
There ho formed the friendship of
lhat good oltl Democrat, "a man with
out fear and without reproach," Col.
Jami's Page, whom Pattison succeeded
as provident of tho organization. lie
won his fust laurels as a lawyer in an
able argument in defense of somo thirty
militiamen of the -Itli Regiment Penn
sjlvania Volunteers, before a court as
sembled by General Prevost, and no-
uitted them on a plea as to jurisdiction.
Alter tliuj, lie was ever the cltosen ora
tor of tho command, and never without
clients. Among tho oases which after
wards ciine to him awl were prepared
with tho thoroughness which distin
guished all of his professional nnd
political work, were those of Orr vs.
Ilydr.iulio WoikM and Kehoe vs. P'ltiie,
leading cases in determining thu law
of negligence! and tho dutiis of proper
ty owners to the public.
Tims far the father lived to seo the
success of his sou, who, with strong
("dial devotion, refusing to bask in other
people's sunshine by acceptnuce of in
vitations to membership in the richer
churches, has of preference rigidly ad
hered to a kind of "little church around
the corner," wherein was his father's
last ministry.
i:i:coi.i.i:ctions op Dickinson.
Previous mention of Dr. Pattison's
early education in Dickinson College
recalls a fact or two that may as well
bo put down right hero in refutation of
tho assertion made here and there in
certain stalwart organs, that "hitherto
Pennvslvania has invariably elected
governors born in the Slate." Now, to
begin with, without hunting up tho
baptismal record of them all, John
Dickinson, whoso name that college
beats, according to Jefferson "one of
the most accomplished Bcholars the
country ever produced," was himself a
native of .Maryland, lived for a long
tiino in DeUvvare, and was in 178:2
elected executive of Pennsylvania. And
he Wits succeeded ill tho olllcoof govern
or of Pennsylvania by Benjamin
Franklin, who, until now when objec
tion h mado to tho Providence lhat
gave Pailison his birth in Maryland,
was always supposed to have been born
in Massaolnuetts, and to have walked
i'min 1 iston to Philadelphia, whereuu
to Pattison was brought when barely
old enough to walk to school, and
where, ever since ho was six years old
ho has bppn alike by hU education,
profession and public scrvico a Penn
sylvania!). Surely tho men who worked "like
Heavers" lo put Grant in nomination
for a third term i.t a time when ho had
been altogether out of tho country for
four years, and who applauded to the
eo'io Cookling's exclamation "if it be
linked whence conies our candidate, ho
hails from Appomatox" should not now
mako si lious objection to tho liko In
dian but less savage sounding Quanlico,
which Pattison bade "hail and farewell"
by provy, if at all, since ho was reniov
ed ii om" there before he could cloverly
aiticitlate. Nor is tiie Cameroniati cry
of "foreigner," against tho city co.i
trollcr ot Philadelphia, altogether con
sistent with even tho old straight out
aiul out Know Nothiugisin, which is
sought to bo rehashed, it seems, in the

rile year nnd half of his second
term lhat has thus far passed has been
replete with similar evidences of his
comprehensive grasp of tho duties of
his position. Tho Philadelphia Star
(Intl.), recently referring to his official
career, thus sums up his services to
Philadelphia:
"There was a time, and not very
long since, either, whoti a great many
peoplo entertained tho idea that the
functions of the controller were of the
simplest character that ho was, in
fact, nothing more than a mero clerk,
whose principal duty consisted in ap
proving warrants drawn against tho
city treasury, which 'approval was
given without investigation. When
the present controller was renominated
it was boldly declared by some of
those opposed to him, that there were
no duties connected with tho office
that could not bo discharged by any
ono possessed with common intelli
gence, and that, therefore, tho general
popular demand for Mr. Pattison's re
election, was not warranted by the
facts of tho case. These declarations,
strange as it may seem, were made by
prominent lawyers and other citizens,
supposed to bo familiar with the Vqv1v
of tho ollice, and from whom better
things were expected. Since then tho
peoplo havo learned how absolutely
essential to hontst and economical
government a capiblo and fearless
controllership is. As at present ad
ministered, the ollico is a constant
check, not only to dishonesty, but
upon hasty or ill-advised legislation
which involves the expenditures of
public money. How many dollars of
the public funds havo been saved by
the conscientiously careful investiga
tion of tho legal claim of every war
rant to tho controller's approval, can
not be told, but it in safe to sail that
they approximate to millions. Tho
iw has been maintained with rigid
impartiality, while favoritism has not
in a single instance been charged. It
may therefore be said with truth that
as far ns the outgo of public inQuoy is
concerned, tbo controller is UiUiinost
important othcer connected with Our
municipal government, provided nl-
ays he is tho right man for tbo place.
The wrong man there and there have
been wrong controllers is an ovil, tbo
magnitude of which can bo compre
hended only by a comparison of the
present management with that of live
or six years ago."
iho Philadelphia limes said that
millions of dollars wuro stolen from
tho city treasury under Pattison's
predecessors becauso they conducted
the otlico ot controller with the idea
that tho controller "does nothing more
than approve city warrants, if they aro
Irawn legally. Hecause Pattison
iook mo higher view millions wero
saved to Philadelphia.

In view of all this
and of the fact
that during his term a complete nd
ministrutivo reform had been itiaugu
uted in ttio second city of tho union
and the first in Pennsylvania, it was
not strange that tho Democratic State
Convention found in him its nominee
for governor. Year by vear tho politi
cal issue of administrative reform has
become the supremo concern of iutelli
gout man. Recognizing his special
ntuess to embody tins issue, thu con
vontioti gravitated toward him on tho
sixtli ballot and without any ndjoiiru

nomination was no personal nor fac

action of an unusually earnest ami

Why the Elephants' Hind Legs Bend

In connection 'villi tho employment

what differently from tho elephant of
tnei present day. on may have
noticed that the hind legs of these ani
mals bend forward like tho legs of a
man, while the hind legs of nearly all
other quadrupeds bend out backward.
In the days of which this nlle-rorv tells.
tho elephant's hind legs were formed
in the same way : they bent outback
ward liku tho legs of a dog, a horse, or
cow. t no people in that part of the
country where these elephants lived
had no beasts of burden, or wagons,
or carls, and thev often thought what
an excellent thing it would bo if the
great, strong elephants would carry
them aud their families about on their
broad .backs, or bear .for them tho
heavy loads which thev wero often
obliged to carry from place to place.
One day, seycral of tho men saw the
leader of tho herd of elephants stand
ing in tho shadn of a clump of trees,
and they went to him to talk uuon this
subject. They told him of tho difiicul
ty they had in taking tourneys with
icir wives n.id children, especially in
tho rainy season, when tho ground was
wet and muddy, and explained to htm
how hard it was for them to carry
loads of provision and other things
from one village to another.
"Now, twenty of these loads." said
tho spokesman of tho men, "would be
nothing for one of you to carry ; and
if ono of, pa, anil till his family, and
even some of his household goods.
were upon your great back, you could
walk oil with ease. Now. what we
ish to propose to you is this: If some
of your herd will consent to carry us
when we wish to make a journey, and
to bear about our heavy goods lor us,
we will give you grass, rice, and bfin-
yan-leaves aud melons from our gar
dens, and such other things as mav bo
proper, for your t-ervices. Hy this
arrangement both sides will be benefit-
ed."
JLhe elephant listened with groat
attention, and .when tho man had
finished speaking ho replied :
"jueions nre very tempting, tor these
we seldom find in the forest, and fresh
leaves from tho luxuriant banyans

propose which will, I fear, prevent it
from being carried out. It, for in

ouldn't it?"
"Oil, yes," said the man.
"There comes in the difiicultv,'' said
tho elephant. "Our bodies tiro so
largo and heavy that when we lio
lown it is as much as we can do to
get up. Indeed, most of us ptofer to
loop leaning ngatnst a tree, becauso

nd hu and his fellows returned
sadly to their village
iJut some ol lite people, when thev
heard this story, were not willing to
givo up tho matter so easily. Thero
as a witch of great wisdom who
lived in tho neighborhood, and thev
wont and consulted her She consid
ered the matter for threo days and

brought to her j and that night, when
tho elephants were all faH asleep, sho
went to the place whero thev were
lying on tho ground, or leaning against
tno lives, and bewitched them, bho
managed her witcheries in such n way
that the hind legs of tho elephants ait
bent in ward instead of outward, as
thny had tiono before.
When the head elephant awoko and
walked from under the tree against

veiy much surprised at the change in

was tho matter. To their astonish
inoitt they arose with great caso. Their
wero bent under their heavv

themselves up with what seemed to
them no trouble nt all.
When all this was made known to

cuter into their service. An elephant
was thereupon ordurerod by Ids chief

New and Stale Bread,
Tho famous Leipsic physician. Pro
fessor Reclam, in a late number of thu
Gesundheit, has ventured to say a good
word on behalf of newly bakod bread.
Tho majority of old people, dyspeptics
and hypochondriacs, ho observes, sav
that they can only eat stale broad; thoy
find new bread too indigestible. Tho
virtue, ho tells them, is not in the stale
ness of the bread, but in the caio and
thoroughness with which thoy aio com
pelled to masticate it, on account of its
hardness. Tho tongue not only deceives
the human race in speaking, says tho
learned physician; it is n great deceiver
in eating. As soon as tho tongue per
cehes that any morsel in our mouth is
soft and yielding, wo aro persuaded
that it may safely be swallowed. No
time or labor is spent upon its mastica
tion, llenco so many people declaro
that sauerkraut soft cakes, pate le foie
grax, eel, and other tavorilo delicacies
ol the leu-ton, do not agree with them.
The professor declares that none of
thoso aro actually indigestible in them
selves. As with now bread, it is the
ise with which thoy aro swallowed
which makes them indigestible. Stale
bread and haul biscuit, on iho othor
hand, are not of themselves inherently
so veiy digestible; but they give Iho
eater so much trouble to soften them
that they are not swallowed until thoy
have been reduced into a fit condition
for that prcet ss. Ileneo the stomach
is not that trouble with them which
it almost luvarmblv has with thot-ofter
ind more delicate food which has never
received more than two or three tin ns
with the teeth. Rapid eating and in
sullieieiit chewing are the two woist
foes of tho tnnjoi ity of dyspoptios and
hypochondriacs, says our authority,
and he advitos such persons to transfer
to their own carelessness and idleness
nine tenths of tho blame which thoy
are in the habit of laving uuon tbair
