Doctor Miller, poor but tulcutcd, had . . 1,, .,. woiKctt so iinru nil Biiiiunur, inni now. Into in Auuuat, 01m of tlio doctors in tlio hoiititl 1 1. til insisted on lim going to the sc;t siilo lor a tow days lo recup erate; nnd Miller, although ill nhlo to afford it, had felt the necessity of it, nnd had gone. IJuiiiiK his twcniy-iottr nourst nway 0 hnd n patient nt the name hotel. It wns the companion ot I lie ncn, fashionable Mrs. Cliatiiljcrlyn. 'Providential, ho said to himself, sit ting there vaguely listening to the deep toned inuic of tho sea. ! can lemain ierc n little longer it 1 mil paitl for my service here.' It wns two o'clock before ho left the sick girl, with tho oppression almost gone from htr chest and licr pulse liiietcil tlown. blm was able to tliank nun with a verv sweet smile wnen lie leit her lor the uiuht. After breakfast ho returned to No. 29. Tho elder lady received him gracious ly, introducing herself. llio youiiK lady, Miss uowcii, whose lifo I beliovo you have saved is a companion to me, hut 1 nm almost as much attached to her as it she wero a 'dative. I shall pay her bill, of course, ami wish you to continue to attend up on her as long as there is tho slightest need of your services, doctor.' The smile ot crntittidc with which the patient welcomed her physician thrilled him as no smile had over before thrilled him. There was fever, of course, for her illness had been brought about by stay in lt too lont: bathing on the beach; and it must take some days and great care to recover from so sudden and severe an attack; but present danger was over, the voiinc doctor assured them. iurs Uhamberlyn learned that he was from the city; she know two or three of the creat physicians and would talk about them; she took the liberty of ask- w' two or three questions about him self, and was polite enoiiKh lo say she thought that there was no place like the city lor a medical man 01 talent. In fact, this rich old lady had taken a fancy to the handsome young doctor, and wai pleased to show her interest in hun. It even came into her scheming head that hero was a good match lor her favorite, Roma Howell. What a romantic tinner it would bo to bring about a marriage between these two 1 lloma was accomplished, sang finely. played, read beautifully, would make a delightful who. lt was truo they were both poor, but itoma could be a help to him, could give lessons, and so add to their in. come. Mrs. Chamberlyn becamo so enthusi astic that she resolved to make the pair a wedding present ot a house, it they would only do as she wished and tall in love with each other. Well, it all came about as sho wish ed. Dr. Miller who had come for a week, remained three. What did it matter so long as his fees paid his expenses ? l et, as lie admitted to ins conscience, Miss lloma Howell was no longer ill, he could no longer accept pay for the visits which hail changed into hours ol keenest happiness. lie would not leave the hotel so long as she remained. Sim might be careless and exposo her- selt to a second attack. Most of tho visitors had departed; it was September. Ho ought to go; what was to be dono t What a miserable thing it is to bo poor! lie was taking noma lioweu out tor her first walk on the beach. As ho spoke he sat down on the warm sand the camp stool ho was car rying and placed her on it. 'Why! she asked, looking up with those laughing, lovely eyes, '1 1 nover been so very miserable. '1'erhaps you aro willing always to bo poor, then ?' he said, with a gao so intense that, although sho tried bravely to face it, tho silken fringes would sink lower. 'Tho girl who marries mo will have- many hardships to encounter. Daro you bo that girl ?' fcmo sat silent lor a moment, rvhile ho stood by her side, tho imago of despair. llo had not meant to be betrayed in to such a question for a long timo yet, but his passion had played him a sud- leu trick, anil tho question was aaketl. 'I could dare tho very worst of pov erty if I were certain yo,i loved me,' she answered him at length. 'Love you ltoma T You may know how I lovo when you seo how you havo made mo break my good resolu tions. I had planned for years of work and struggle before I could hopo to ask lor anything so sweet ns a wites love; but you, with your bewildering eyes, your templing lips, and your glorious soul Oh, Hoinal to havo a friend, com panion, a pwect partner such m you would be, dearest, 1 would bo having my heaven ns I went along.' As ho bent to look into her drooping face a rude hand came down on her shoulder like a blow a voice, frightful with tho ling of a dozen ovil passion. said; 'I havo found you Mrs. Chase, at last. Just ns I expected to find you. Aro you nwnre, sir, that you nro making love to another man's wilo!' 'Another man's wife!' repeated Dr. Miller; and ho reeled as if the insolent stranger had struck him iu the face, while Koma, with a faint ory, sank down insensible nt his feet. It was tho evening following tho afternoon of that i-uetio on the beach. Dr. Miller had sought Mrs. Chain- berlyn, who was talking on, trying to exonerato hersuit, 'Of couifo I had not tho least idea that sho was a married woman. Sho camo to mo last February in reply to my ndverllsemeiit torn companion; her references were of the boat, nnd 1 had no reason to suspect her of being nu ndventnrcss. Sho is not tho wrong-doer, whoever eiso may be. 'Hut tho deceit, Mrs. Chambcrlynl Surely, she is responsible for that. What is it to her now that sho has ruined a man's lifo t' 'Havo I ruined your lifo 1 asked clear, nllver-sweet voico that made him turn and tstaro nt tho beautiful girl who had stolen to his Bide. Ho was about to speak, but alio mo tioned him lo remain silent. 'Listen to me. Tho man that inter rupted us I confess I once thought I loved. I wns only n school-giil, sixteen years old, when ho laid his plans to en tanglo my affections. 1 becamo engaged to linn secretly. He wished me to marry him secretly, but that I refused. He wns obliged to ask my patents lie moved in high society, but for me. he was known to havo bad habits and to bo a gambler, nnd this they explain ed to mo desiring inn to break off my engagement. '1 would believe Homing ngaiiHt h'red Chase; so that alter months of opposition they yielded, and began preparations lor our marriage to pre vent my being tempted to run away. Everything was ready; the day of the wedding had arrived; I wns actual ly nlready dressed for tho ceremony, when I chanced to overhear Fred who supposed himself nlotus with ono of my friendi", n bridesninid, in a cut tamed re- cess of the music-loom swearing lo her that he had never loved any ono but hm- u-nntil nlu-nva tnvn linr. mill w.m n,,li. rnln In inni-rsr m.i Wnim Ida great gambling debts compelled him to choose the girl with the most money. Alv u mmn mir itmlrns,Q. mv llfimir. wero overwhelming. My only thought was to escape lroin one 1 had ho nearly bound myself to. '1 used as little discretion in the way I took ns I had before. Going to my rooifl I hastily exchanged my bridal robes for a traveling dress, and left tho house while the guests were assembling lo sec me married. 1 was afraid it 1 remained ho might Hnd some means of compelling mo to keep mv promise. 'Mv lovo for him had changed to scorn and dislike. I went to the house of a former servant that night; the nest day I went to the citv, and there 1 ans wered Mrs. Chamberlyn's advertise ment. In a few wcek-t I wrote to my mother what I was doing, begging her to allow mo to remain loruyear. 31am- ma has known and approved oi all my movements hince. Sho has even bei n written to about you Dr. Miller.' 'You see,' here for tho first time tho sweet story-Idler smiled. 'I had learned to distrust the world had come to the wise rcsolvo thai, if I ever again were won, 1 would make sure ot a disinterested lover. And sho glanced up at tin-tall doctor with a gleam of ' I f !.. 1 1 .tr..l tuisciiiei in tier iieuiiiiiiii vyva. 'Hut he called you his wife,' stain mcrcd he. 'That is iust like his impertinence, He wanted to frighten you away. He hoped ho could work upon my girlish fancy and still win tho heiress whojo fortunes he courted.' The heiress?' 'Why, yes, certainly 1 1 am wealthy. You thought me poor. It is my only chance to marry a man who loves mo for myself alone, and I'm'not disposed to givo it up.' is it necessary to add that she wns not compelled to give it up? If a man loves a bewitching woman he is not going to resign her because she happens to be rich. Doubtless it was n heavy trial for tho young doctor to marry so much money; but he soon rcignc.l himself, and Mrs. Chamberlyn enjoyed herself greatly at the wedding. Buchanan's Biography, a 1100ic that will command atti'.x tion Harper cc mothers have in press and announce for publication very soon a biography of James liuchan an, by Georgo Ticknor Curtis. That such a biography will be of the high est interest and value it is not neces sary to say. Tho truo history of Mr. Buchanan s administration has up to the present time been a profound secret, hor while an immense deal has been written about it, no writer has had any documentary authority for his estimate of the motives, niton tions and prevailing counsels of the president and cabinet in tho trying times which preceded tho war. From tho later history of such men as Cass, Dix, Stanton, "Holt nnd others, it has been generally regarded as settled that Mr. Buchanan was alone respon siblo for tho course of his aduiinistra tion. But tho history of that adminis tration hitherto published has been in largo part conjectural and imaginary It is of tho highest importance that that history should bo known. Tho timo has long passed when from polit ical feeling any one could desire to suppress the trulli, nnd now all men will bo glad to take a dispassionate viow of tho men and tho events of twentyMhrco years ago at Washington. 3lr. litiohaiiau was in the habit ot was iu the habit ot making brief and clear memoranda of .! ... il ii.tiiy conversations, interviews nutt i nuvcui in tne uusiuees was a costly ar occurrences.

Its revolutions will undoubtedly surpriso an who navo accepted ns true tho sup posed histories which havo been writ ten in tne excitement ot strong par tisan feeling, and perhaps not in tho least startling portions will bo in the letters ot eminent men who have been credited with dissent from tho policy ot nn administration, winch policy they in fact guided nnd approved. In any event tho biography of James Ifiichauan covers tho most important period ol our history since tho revolu tion, and knowing ns wo tlo, tho mate- rial which ho loft to be used nt tho proper time, wu have no doubt that Mr. Curtis has mado such uso of it that the publication will throw clearer light on history than nny or nil of the books which hnvo attempted to show how tho United States was lod into tho war in 1801, A7. 3'.

Peter Cooner was bom on Feb. 12. 1791, in tlio city of New York. His mother's father, John Campbell, wan n deputy iiuarteniaster and an Alderman of New York during the Revolutionary war, and saenhced a tortiino in ins His father was a country's behalf. Lieutenant in tho Revolutionary army, and after the war mado a competency in the manufacture of hats in New York. When Peter was about 3 years old his father bought a placo at Peukskill, N. Y., where tic csiabltdied a country store and built a church. His hat bus iness was continued on in Now York, and Peter learned, when he was not much taller than the leg of the table, to pull the hair out of rabbit skins. Siiqsequently ho learned to make every part ot a hat. While at l'cekskill his father went into the business of mak ing bricks, and Peter's services wero utilized In carrying and handling bricks for the drying process. As this did not prove profitable enough, his father resumed the ale business at Newburgh, N. Y.. where Peter worked until ho was nearly 17. The first $10 that ho 1 . 1 ... .!..!.. . saved was invested in lottery tickets, which all drew'blanks, and impressed him with tho folly of gambling In his seventeenth year ho was np irenlioed to the busines of coach mak ng, receiving $2.5 a year for his servi ces, lie worked hard nights at coacn carving and saved money. He mado tor his employer a machine tor mor tising tho hubs of carriages, tho first of tho kind in tins country. J. tils em ployer offered to set him up in busi ues, but he declined, llo had a hor ror of being in debt, and ho never lost that feeling. At the termination of his apprentice ship Peter Cooper went to Hempstead, L. 1., where ho worked ..or threo years. earning $1..0 a day making machines lor shearing cloth, llo saved enough out of Ins wages to buy the right to manufacture the machine in the State of Now York on his own account, Tho first money ho reveived for tho sale of these machines was from Mr. Vassar, tho founder of Vasar College, When Peter Cooper found himself possessed of $000, which was to him a small fortune, 'with that generosity M'hich matked all his life, ho gave it to his father who was then involved in business difficulties. This and other gifts saved his father from failing. The war ot 1812 created so great a tie maud for the cloth-shearing machines that Mr. Cooper sold them ns fast as thev could bo made. His inventivo genius suggested an important iin provement in tho machines, which in creased his profits. The principlo of it was tho same ns that ot a modern mow er. lie always spoke ot it with pride, His first venture in mercantile busi ness was a grocer opposite tho Cooper Union. Ho had a twenty year's leaso of this property, and built four dwell ing houses there. With the profits of tlio cloth shearing and grocery business ho purchased a gluo factory on the old "Middle road," between Thirty-first nnd Ihiity-fourth streets, paying for it in cash, as was his custom in all opera tions. lie did not believe in loans mortgages, or banks, and prided him self on doing busines on a cash basis, He manufactured glue, oil, whiting, prepared chalk, and isinglass for twen ty one years at that place. Then ho moved that business to Jlaspeth ave nue Brooklyn, where it is still carried on, Ho made many improvemons in the manufacture or (Intercut articles. especially of isinglass, which up to his l .. ., , ' :., isinglass alono secured him a fortune. Tho secret of !t was that when Russian isinglass was selling at $ I a pound ho produced nu .article that could bo used is a substitute, and which cost him about 10 cents n pound, while it readi ly sold for 75 cents a pound. Une ot tho very few instances in which Mr. Cooper was imposed upon by sharpers iu business was in 1828, when two men persuaded him to unito with them iu tho purchase of 3.000 acres of land at Baltimore, Md., being tho whole shore for threo miles from Fell's Point .dock. Mr. Cooper soon found out that his associates hnd no capital, ami that ho was furnishing nil the monoy tor the enterprise. IIo got rid of them at their own price and took all of tho property into his own hnnds, expending $102,000 for tho 'land. IIo then erected tho Canton iron works which ho subsequently sold to Mr. Ab bolt of Baltimore. Peter Cooper tireless energy and npt invention wero well displayed in this enterpiiso. The original plan in volved expectations of an oarly com pleliou of the Baltimore and Ohio Uailroad, but many short turns iu the road seemed to mako It Impossible to draw trams upon it with tho locomo lives then known. Peter Cooper do vised and constructed at his own ex penso n locomotive which overcame the dilhculty, nml pot only afforded trans portntiou to his now property, but snv ed the road from bankruptcy. Tlio construction of this locomotive involv etl tho uso of what is now known as the tubular boiler, one of which Mr. Coop er mane out oi old gun Panels. 11 was very fond of dwelling upon this iiiiimpii ot ins mccnuuicai skill, and entitled to tho credit of having built tho lit st successful locomotlvo engine used on this continent Finding that tho wood on nil uni ts of his property was being stolen, ho deter mined to utilizo it on tho spot. Ho had four or fivo hundred tons of iron oro'raisod nt Lazarcth point, nnd devis ed a plan to ma'.io charcoal out ot tho wood for tho purpose of making char coal iron. Ho had somo largo kilns erected, and mado the charcoal success- fully, but ho nearly lost his lifo on that, occasion at ono of the kilns. It no- pears that tho conl took firo and all tho efforts of tho woikmen to extinguish it failed. Mr Cooner went to tho door of tho kiln to seo what could bo done. and the gas took fire, envoloning him n a sheet of llame. His eyebrows. whiskers, and fur hat were singed, but he was blown away f torn the kiln by The corner stone of the Cooper the explosion, wo that ho escaped scfi- Institute was laid in 1875 at the junc oiw iniurv. He built n rolling mill on tion of Third avenue, Eighth Btreec, tho property, but finally sold out to tho Canton Comtan. Ho took somo of his pay in stock at $41 n share, and kept it up till it went up to 822:5 a share so that, although he was imposed upon tn tho beginning ot the enter- prise, ho camo out with a very hand some profit nt the end of it. Ho next bought a property in Thirty-third street, near Third avenue, nnd built nn iron factory, which he soon turned into a rolling mill for rolling iron and making iron wire. Alter sotno years ho removed tho business to Trenton, N. J., where he bought pow er. enlarged the works, and built a mill and wire factory, employing hundreds ot men. A few years later ho built at Phillipsburg the three largest blast fur- naces then known. He afterward bought tho Andover mines, and built a railroad eight miles long to bring the oro to tlTo furnace at tho rate of -fO,- 000 tons a year. After running the works several years, be disposed of them to a stock company, which also took in tho Trenton Iron Works, inclu ding a second rolling mill and wire works, and 11,000 acres known as tho Ringwood property. Finally the oper ations of the company were contracted and Mr. Cooper resumed possession of tho Ringwood property, which was then earning aboi $200,000 a year. Ho gave his 'business to his son, Ed ward Cooper, and his son in-law, bram S. Hewitt, and it is still owned and conducted by Cooper it Hewitt. In one of Mr. Coopers Kiugwood mills was rolled tho first of the iron gird- ers such as are now commonly used iu fireproof buildings. 1 lie idea ot mak ing 6uch girders occurred to Mr. Coop er when ho was planning llio tjooper Union building. Wishing to make the building fireproof, he sought iron gird ers in the market, but could hnd none. Then he determined to make them in his own mills, ll.it bofore ho succeed- ed he expended S7.r.000 in experimen- tal machinery. Tho great cost was owinc to the fact that nt first there was no adenuato conception of the enormous strength of machinery re- quired to do tho work. Tho investment proved a profitable one in the end, ns his mills wero required to mako many more such girders after lie hnd produc- ed the first. Other manufacturers, however, camo in for a part of the ben- efit of his experience, because ho did not seo fit to patent tho process that cost him so much timo and money to produce. , As President of the New York, Newfoundland, ami London Telegraph Company ho was associated with Mar- shall O. Roberts, Moses Taylor, Wil- son G. Hunt, Cyrus W. Field, and oth- ers. They steadily paid out money for fourteen years, without return, in tlio confident hope of ultimately perfecting telegraphic communication between Europe and tho United States. They lost the first cable that was laid across tho Gulf of St. Lawrence, a misfottune which cost them between three and four hundred thousand dollars. This occasioned a delay of a year and a half, But at length the line, lo Newfound land was completed, and after vigor ous efforts tho requisite capital was se- cured for tho laying of the first ocean cable. English capital was obtained to take part of the risk, whole power of coining money or issu and the first ocean cable was laid. It ing money entirely in the hands of tho worked until -100 messages were receiv- ed. nnd then gnvo out. But the testi- mony that the lino had worked was so conclusive uiai oilier capital was secur ed. Peter Cooper maintained his con fidence in the ocean cable from the first and in company with Moses Tay lor, Cyrus W. Field, Marshall O. Rob- ci ts and others, got up tho subscription for laying tho second cable, which was unfortunately broken anil the end lost in inid-ocean. Peter Cooper did not even then loso faith, but kept on ad- vancuig his simro ol the money, nnd ft i was one of tho chief stockholders in .1 il.i 1 1 1 ".1 t. .j tno company mat, unu mm inu ursi sue- cessful ocean cable. In the many enterprises that. Peter Cooper entered into, ho derived much ndvnntngo from his nptitutie lor me chanical invention At lf ho made a pair of shoes and the lasts on which they wero made. While he wns nn apprentice nt coach making, he planned at iilgni mo moiiei ot a macuiue to utilize tho power of tho rising nnd fnlling of tho tide. His conception wns to store up tlio power in coiiipres- ed air, nnd use tt in mills or on boats. Robert 1' ulton inspected the model, but wns too much occupied witli steam navigation to givo it much nltention, and tho invention wns never used, Another ot his inventions was a sub stitute for the crank motion. This he npplied to tho first locomotive used on (he Baltimore nnd Ohio Railroad, but for some reason it was discarded. Bo fore tho water was let into the Erie canal, Peter Cooper devised a method of propelling tho boats by means of a ! . e 11 . . . ..!.! 1 series oi emiiess uuitiiis c.xicuing uioug the lino ot the canal, and worked by water power, lie went to the expensu of building a fhvtboat and putting tlown u section ot posts 111 tho h.ast Kiver from tfio foot of Eighth street to the foot of Twenty-sixth street. Ho got l.ov. Ultnton nnd some tiiends to make the tiip, which wns regarded as n sue. cess, as ho ran two miles iu eleven minutes One of the pnsscugeis on tho first trip was Hamilton lush. Gov Clinton was so much impressed with the invention that ho bought tho prtvi IU"U ui uniiiLi ii, uu uiu uiiiim tut couu, Clinton did not use it, however, bo oauso ho wns afraid it would prevent the fulfillment of tho promises that thoy should have a market for their produce iu tho side of iood to the hor ses to be men on the canal, unly a few years ngo the thought of by Mr. same thing was Weltch, the Prosl- dent of the Camden and Atnboy Rail road Company, as a mennsof getting the bonis through tho canal locks. Mr. Wcltcli wns somewhat astonished to find that ho had been anticipated by Peter Cooper nearly half a ccntu- W g- In early life, winio airs, uoopcr was preparing tho lrugal meals lor tno lamiiy, I'ctcr wns required to iock mo cradle. His inventivo genius soon constructed a machino that not only rocked the cradle, but kept olt the llies and played a musical box for tho future Mavor of New York. Tho great work of Peter Cooper s life, which has endeared hun to tho citv of his Willi, bins gift to tho pco ilo of tho Cooper Union for tho ad vanccmement of Science and Art, and Fourth avenue. The cost of tho building was S030.000. The total cost of building and education has been about $2,000,000. Part of tho expense is defrayed by tho rents ot tho stores in tho basement ot the building, out Mr. Cooper's donations were constant and sulhcient to keep the nisitittioii out of debt. His last gift was the erection of another Btory at a cost of $00,000. An illustration ol his lorethougnt is shown in tlio fact that when the plans of tlio building were made, about twon- ty-five years ago, he caused a tower to be reserved for an elevator, which is now running. That was long before passenger elevators wero thought of for general use. Peter Cooper always took a deep in tercst in all public measures of his na tivo city. lie was one of tlio foremost promoters of the Croton water works; he served in tho School Boards and the Common Coyneil, and ho was always among the great powers behind the throne. Yet, in spito of his past public eervices, ho never received but $00 of public money. This was his compensa tion when he was an Alderman, acting, as the law then required, as an associate Judge. Ho wa one of tho prominent movers in the Citizens Association, and contributed largely to the exposuro of tho nelarious practices of tho Tweed Ring. Although always a Democrat in politics, ho was never enough of a partisan to support bad men because they belonged to his party. His huaiicial views as the candidate of the Greenback party for the Presi dency in 1870 wero widely circulated, and the literature ot the subject is enor mous in extent. Although he received but 81,737 popular votes, he lost none of his enthusiasm in tho cause of what ho believed to be financial reform, and he generally carried with him n plenti- ful supply of documents for distnbu- lion, llo nover tired of saying that ho never trusted tho banks, and that he considered them quite unnecessary for conducting sound business. He was particularly opposed to the National Currency act, and could never seo why tho national banks should receive such immense sums in tho way of interest, which, lie thought, could bo saved for the people, llo believed that it was a diro calamity that Congress refused to mako the national money receivable as interest on the pubhc"debt and lor du- ties on imports. He also opposed the contraction of the currency as an act of financial suicide. Ho predicted that the resumption of specie payments would prove a failure, and did not fall into the error of giving John Sherman the credit for tho good crops that made resumption possible. IIo believed it to bo tho duty of Congress to furnish all tho inhabitants ot the L nitcd States a re- deemable, uniform, and unfluctuating national currency. IIo was not in favor ot an unlimited issue ol paper money, but believed that if the Government should issue money without discredit ing it by refusing to take it lor taxes, the danger of financial fluctuations would bo largely diminished. His idea was that such a cuirency would bo self- regulating, and that tho natural laws ot trade would keep enough ot it m circulation and prevent tho use of too much of it. lie believed in placing the Government. He would require the Government to mnko tins currency at all nines, nnd nt tno option ot tno in titviuuiii, uuuvemuiu uhu iiiLL-ient,-ueut ing tiovcrnment bonds. llieso views ho"" advanced in letteis to the press, to public ollicers, to public meetings, in speeches, and in conversation, IIo re pudiated tho idea that Ins ideal curren cy was like tho Continental currency in nny other respect than iu its power to save tho nation. Mr. Cooper believed that tho triumph i i 0f us ideas upon tho sub ect of Gov eminent would prove a greater bono- I . .. . .... taction to his country than nny ot his material gifts. Ono'of bis late'st works was tho publication during tho present year of n voluino of 100 pages entitled "Ideas for n Science of Good Govern ment, in addresses, letters, and articles: on a strictly national currency, tat iff, nnd civil service." Mr. Cooper wns reputed to bo a very wealthy man, but the extent of his for tuno is known only to his imniediato family. IIo gave away millions to his relatives, besides tho millions that ho gavo to tlio Cooper Union. His bone- tactions iu other directions havo been enormous, l'eoplo never tired ot ask ing him for money. His daily mail brought him bushels of begging letters. Ho was besought to engage tn all sorts of wild schemes of benevolence, and to contribute to tlio most pressing individ ual needs. lt would havo required moro than tho labor of ono person to answer theso letters, nnd many of them went unanswered. Hut many ot them met with success. Ho was literally giving nil the lime. How much monoy Mr. Cooper did make will probably m ver bo known to thn Dublin. Hp re. served something for himself ns a source of income for his ninnliiL o.v. nouses, but it is until In linnr no nnnsiil. Lrnblo propoition to tho vast fortune w,ioh , earned. A near friend of the family said that Mr. Cooper's will wns mndu several years ago, nnd is now in tho hnnds of Mr. Hewitt, and that but a comnnrntivelv sutnll hiimi u-.-is left fni Mr. Cooper to dispose of, ns ho hnd nl- given awny most of his property. Gideon Tiee, n liveryman of Lewis- town, denied tho other dny thnt ho had voted lor certain persons nl tho into diction, exclaiming: "1 hopo God will pnnm.o mo if what 1 tell you is not tine." Tho wcuds were hardly out oi his mouth whin ho fell under a para lytic stroke and died iu a few moments.
