FRIDAY. - - FEBRUARY 19, 1886.
Tma complete adjustment of the estate
of the late Francis A. Drexel, the Phil
ade'phia banker, arjows that he left a
fortune of fifteen million of dollars, and
that under bis will Catholic charities
rewire a million and a half of dollars,
enough to put tbera firmly on their
feet.
The bill for the admission of the
southern half of Dakota Territory into
the Union as a .State, passed the Senate
last weeit. Mr. Voorhees, of Indiana,
was the only Democrat who voted in its
fay.ir. It is believed at Washington
that the measure has no chance of pass
ing the House.
The Fitz John Porter case is once
more a theme for the display of Congres
sional eloquence 01 rant, as the case hap
pens to be. Day after day and night
after night the floodgates have been
opeued, and not a single new Idea has
been advanced nor a single ray of new
light thrown upon the subject. The
worst, however, is yet to come, for after
the bill passes the House and goes to
the Senate, Logan is ready to rattle off
his former three d;ivs diatribe against it.
The strifce in the Westmoreland and
Fay:ttecoke regions seems to be in a
fair way of settlement. On Tuesday
the strikers received a proposition from
the coke operators through Rev. Father
Lambing, agreeing to pay the advance
demanded on March 15, if tha men
would at once return to woik. The
strikers decided to call a general con
vention oo yesterday to consider the
offer and acoept 01 reject it. Un
less evil counsels prevail the proposition
will be accepted.
John G. Thompson, the well known
Democratic politician of Ohio, died at
8eatle, Washington Territory, last week.
He was appo'.ited to a position connect
ed with the public lands in that Terri
tory by Mr. Cleveland in August last.
He was 52 years of age; had been re
peatedly Chairman of the Democratic
State Committee of Ohio, and is said to
have bad a more extensive acquaintance
with the Democrats of that 6tate than
any other party leader In it. In 1875
he waa elected Sergeant-at Arms of the
i0J:er-Ch ingress. He Zl lhe
-y. ve, devoted friend of that pure, hou"
est Democrat, Allen G. Thnrman, and
his highest ambition for many years
prior to and np to 1S94, was to bring
about the nomination of that incorrupt
ible statesman for the Presidency.

William Jones, a gentleman of
color, who claims Texas as his home, is
astonishing the people of Philadelphia
by his wonderful arpetite for glass.
One night last week, in presence of sev
eral invited persons, in room No. 42 of
the Girard House, he lifted a lamp
chimney to his mouth and bit off a good
sized piece, which be chewed and swal
lowed with as much lelish as if it had
been the choicest food, ne then ate a
champaign glass and washed it down his
copper-lined gullet with a glass of wine.
Jones says he contracted tbe habit about
thirty years ago by eating a thin piece
of glass which he had mistaken for ice.
He has kept it up ever since and Is very
fond of crushed glass in Ice cream or
with cake. He says the glass never
cuts his mouth nor hurts his internal
arrangements. He has exhibited his
peculiar powers to Beveral Philadelphia
physicians, who were utterly amazed by
it. Jones is on exhibition this week at
the Ninth and Arch Streets Museum
and is amusing the public by eatiug
lamp chimneys and all other kinds of
glass.
The remains of General Haucock j
were taken from his late residence on
Goverior'a Island to Trinity Church, in
the city of New York, on last Saturday
morning. Among the pall bearers were
Generals Sherman, Sheridan, Franklin,
Schofield, Miles and Hon. Thomas F.
Bayard, Secretary of State. After the
usual funeral ceremonies in the church,
the body was conveyed to Jersey City,
where three passenger coaches of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company were
waiting to proceed to Norristown. At
Philadelphia four additional cars were
attached to the funeral train which
reached Norriatown at 3 r. m. The
funeral procession, which had been in
creased to very large proportions by the
citizens of Norristown and Montgomery
county, started at once for the cemetery
where Gen. Hancock some years ago
had built a family vault. When tbe
bearse arrived sixteen soldiers of the
Fifth Artillery, eight on a side. ?ifttd
the caaket and carried it slowly to the
sepulchre. Formed in two lines facing
each other tbe pall bearers stood iu front
of the tomb with uncovered heads, Gen.
Sherman standing at tbe head of one
line with Gen. Sheridan standing next
10 him, and opposite at tbe bead of
the other line stood Sscrary Baard.
Then the first of three salvos was fired
from thn hillside close by from guns of
a Light Battery from Fort Hamiiiun.
Tnen the vault was sealed and as tbe
regulars withdrew from the sepulchre.
Bugler Richard Frank came out from
tl ranks and, standing upon the gentle
Iop. he sounded the lat "taps" for
f.eneiai W:i f.eul froit Ht,ork.
Rev. Dr. IIiOBEB, Superintendent of
the Common Schools, may possibly be a
very competent man for the position, a
question which we will not assume to
decide. When, however, be undertakes,
as he does iu bis last annual report, to
tell the people how the young idea
should be taught to shoot, he simply
makes a laughing stock of himself. No
man ever before, whether he was Super
intendent or not, put on paper as much
undiluted bosh and sublimated non
sense as Higbee does in the following
remarkable extract from his report. It
is well calculated to cause Higbee to be
regarded with as much wonder by the
unlearned friends of the Common
Schools, as the utter amazement, so
aptly described by Goldsmith, with
which the pupils of the school In his na
tive Irish town, himself beinir one of
them, regarded the profound knowledge
and varied acquirements of their learn
ed, but pedantic preceptor : "And
still they gazed and still the wonder
grew, that one small head could carry
all he knew." Here is what Higbee
says :
"Across the stream whose rapid waters
bar bis direct and timid progress, the child
roust be lifted from stepplng-stona to steo-plng-stone,
thee led on througfc the thick
shade of mossy woods among ferns and car
dinal flowers, still moving upward through
tangled and blossomy pathway where thorns
threaten and eglantines sweeten the toil,
then still onward with more reliant step
across the wide spread tableland of mead
ows made green by the mountain springs,
where he can gain refreshing rest ; then still
upward with stronger and still more eager
stretch to the very summit of the thunder-
smitten rock, where before him, in vis
Ion far outreaching bis most ardent expec
tation, he sees with wistful eyes the silver
winding rivers; the scattered villages along
their margins, the mist hovering over the
distant valleys that sweep onward until
they vanish in the storm haunted hills
overarched with glowing amethyst ; anon,
Hesperus comes leading in his host of stars ;
Arcturus and bis sons, belted Orion, trie
clustered glory of the Pleiades, and the
Swan, with outstretched wings sweeping up
the Miiky-way ; and ail this with infinitely
more, whin thus seen, comes to be tor him
but this universe besding in adoration and
joining with cherubim and setaphim and
veiled angels, and crying, Holy ! Holy !
Holy ! Lord God Almighty ! Heaven and
earth ate full of the majesty of Thy glory."
The rap:dity with which bills for the
erection of public buildings in large
towns in almost every Slate in the
Union are being rushed through Con
greas, is something wotderful and is
well calculated to stiffen the back-bone
of a large number of members who hap
pen to livo in close and doubtful dis
tricts. Yesterday week the Secretary
of the Senate brought over to the House
twenty-nine bills which had passed the
former body on the previous day, provid
ing for the erection of as many public. -
buildings in different parts of t
it (nnn-
trv
rja tiiatr ten iijiuutes after this
avalanche of bills had been precipitated
on the House, the committee on public
buildings in that body being called on
for reports, turned en a flood of bills of
the same character, to the extent of at
least twenty. A good deal of disgust
j was manifested by the prudent men in
the House at this simultaneous on
slaught on the public Treasury from
both ends of the Capitol. These bills
are passed by what is known as "log
rolling," on the principle, "You help
me and I'll help you," which produces
a resistless combination in faver of each
of them, no matter how unnecessary
most of them may be. The first thing
that a new Congressman turns his at
tention to now is to pass a bill for the
erection of a new and costly public
building somewhere in his district. It
may be entirely unnecessary, and in a
majority of cases is so, but it has a ten
dency to make him "solid" with his
constituents. Flanagan, of Texas, said
in the Republican National Convention
at Chicago, "What in b 1 are we here
for unless for the offices," aod the aver
'
W hat
age Congressman cries aloud,
am i nere ror unless it is to get enough
money out of the Treasury to put np a
first class public build in? in mv dis
trict ?" And he generallv 2et3 what he
wants.
Ex Governor Horatio Seymour,
of New York, died at Utica, in that
State, on Friday last, in the 76th year
of his age. His home was on his farm,
a short distance from Utica, but for a
week or two prior to his death he had
beer staying at the residence of his sis
ter, Mrs. Roscoe Conkling, in that city.
In 1850 Mr. Seymour was the Demo
cratic candidate for Governor, but was
defeated. In 1S52 he was again nomi
nated and was elected by a large major
ity. In 18G2 he again became the can
didate of his party for the same office
and was elected. This was during tbe
rebellion and when in 183, just before
the battle of Gettysburg, the Confeder
ate army invaded Pennsylvania and di
rected its course toward Harrisburg,
the call for aid on Gov. Seymour was so
promptly responded to as to call forth
the warmest commendation from Got.
Curtain as well as from the authorities
at Washington. In 1808 he was Presi
dent of the National Democratic Con
vention that met in New York and was
nominated for the Presidency against
his emphatic and repeated protest. He
was defeated by Gen. Grant. Since
then be has lived a retired life on his
farm near Utica. He was a man of
high character, eminent abilities and of
spotless reputation. No man ever en
joyed so great a degree of popularity
among the members of hia own party in
the State of New York as it was the
fortune of Horatio Seymour to do. In
addition to this his character was so
pure and his political motives so disin
terested, that his advice and counsel al
ways commanded the highest respect
and homage of the Democracy of the
whole country. He was an honor to
his State, to his party and to bis coun
try. "The earth that now bears him
dead, bears not alive a nobler gentle
man." The English Parliament re-assembled
on yesterday and Mr. Gladstone will at
once inaugurate his policy in regard to
Irish affairs. What the outcome will
be is, of course, a mere matter of con
jecture. Gladstone may possibly fail in
accomplishing his purposes for the
amelioration of the Irish people who
now firmly believe that he Is tbe only
English statesman who his tbe human
ity and courage to extend to them some
thing like even-handed justice, a boon
which has been withheld from them
through eenturies of oppression The
civilizM world will watch the struggle
between enlightened Liberalism and the
lirepresaible bigotry of Torvism with
lntenie inteiest.
LIFE 0 II AX COCK.
WlnGeld. Scott Hancock was born in
Montgomery county, this Sta'e, in 124.
He graduated from West Point in 144,
and waa for two years in service on the
Western frontier. He fought in the
Mexican war, and was breveted first
lieutenant for gallant action at 2ontie
ras and Cherubusco. After the war be
was for ten further years m iroimci
service in connection with the Indian
troubles in Florida and the Mormon
dissensions in Utah. In 1859 he was
made Quartermaster, doing duty in
California, and by his energy and per
sonal influence did much to keep that
State within the Union in 1830 61.
He was ordered to Washington at ihe
outbreak of the war, in response to an
earnestly expressed desire for assign
ment to active duty at the point of
greatest danger. Immediately after
wards he waa appointed Brigadier Gen
eral of volunteers. He was with Mc
Clellan on the Peninsula and distin
guished himself iu the many battles of
that campaign, particularly at Wil
lamsburg and Faazei's Farm.
After the abandonment of the scheme
to lake Richmond fiom the Peninsula
and at a particularly critical period of
the war occurred the battles of Antei
tam and South Mountain. Of thee
two memorable engagements be was
one of the chief heioes, achieving there
a fame that will last as long as the mem
ories of the war shall abide. At An
teitam he was made a division com
mander on the field, and shortly after
ward he was appointed to the lull rank
of Major General. At Fredericksburg
and Chancellorsvillebe was in command
of the First Division, 2nd Army Corps,
and on the 2nd of Jane, 1863, was made
Commander of that Corps.
At famed Gettysburg he was in com
mand at the point, on the left centre,
most furiously assailed by the Confeder
ates, and received a severe wound just
at the close of the last days fight. Con
gress voted him special thanks for his
conspicuous gallantry on this occasion.
When he had sufficiently recovered
from his wound, which was a serious
one, he returned to his command and
participated in the conflicts in the Wil
derness at Spotsylvania and Cold Har
bor. When the organizatiou of an army
corps of veterans none to be accepted
except such as had seen not less t han
twoyears of activeservice was decided
upon, the task of enlisting the corps
was assigned to General Hancock. 15y
the time it was completed, however, the
war was over, and though most of the
corps were enlisted for three years, they
were discharged at the expiration of
one.
For a time he was in command of the
Middle Military Department, which in
cluded a greater part ot the East, and
then he was transferred to the Fifth
Military District, including Louisiana
and Texas. This was in lo-53. Hera
he showed that he was not puj-'a''greHt
soldier, but that.be aTtalesinan as
WP!J-f"ibVi he lid fought not to sub
jugate Hud opprt-ss :he S uth, but to re
unite and prt-strve the Union.
On the death of General Meade he be
came Commander of the Drpartment of
the East, with headquarters at Gover
nor's Island, New York.
In 18W he came within an ace of be
ing the Democratic candidate for Pres
ident. In lSO be was nominated bv
that party lor that high office, on the
second ballot.
At the election he received 4.442. 0;5
votes, as against 4.442.I50 cast for Jhs.
A. Garfield, the difference iu a total ot
nearly nine million being less than one
thousand ; but in the Electoral College
Garfield had 214 to Hancock's 155.
At the lime of bis death General
Hancock was the senior Major General
in the service, and had the proposed act
to revive the rank of General been
passed, Sheridan would have become
General and Hancock Lieutenant Gen
eral. A PATRIOT HERO DEAD.
The sudden death of General Winfield
Scott Hancock came upon the country
yesterday like the shock of the thunder
bolt from a cloudless sky. In every sec
tion of the land ; in every political cir
cle ; in every patriotic heart, there was
protonndest sorrow for the death of the
gallant soldier and the unsullied patriot.
Of all the manv public men who have
j passed to the City of the Silent since
I tne eatn of Abraham Lincoln, none
t was so sincerely and widely beloved as
j ws General Hancock. He was known
! to the nation and the world at the close
of the war. as one of the gret captains
of the conflict ; but hia greenest laurels
have been woven for him by tbe grander
victories of peace. His broad, gener
ous statesmanship, exhibited in the
tempest of reconstruction , attracted the
I attention and inspired the trust of the
j people ot every raitn, ana wnen ne was
' nominated for the Presidency in 1880 '
by the spontaneous demand of his par
ty. he was the one Presidential candi
date of our history upon whose imDreg-
nable mail of patriotic and blameless I
action the shafts of partisan malice were j
not ventured. .
General Hancock's last appearance in
view of the nation was when the defeat
ed but universally honored soldier com
manded the imposing panorama of his
rival's inauguration as President. Thre
was no room for a trace of disappoint
ment in his heroic mould, and even the
partisans who cheered the victor turned
with the reaped that Is akin to love to
the leader who had lost the race by a
few thousands in many millions. He
grandly typified tbe noblest goverment
of the earth, where the popular will is
the supreme law.
There will be general regret through
out all political circles that General
Hancock did not live to reach tne high
er honors which would have been tbe
grateful offering of the Republic in the
fullness of time. Had his life been pro
longed a few years there is litt.e doubt
that tbe Lieuienant General's stars
wonld have attested the love and re
spect of the people for their soldier who
shard the largest measure of public
affction ; but he needed no Presidency
nor no higher title to round out the
fullness cf his fame. It is enshrined
ineffacebly in the hearts of the Ameri
can people, and neither monument nor
annals of history will be needed to teach
the inheritors of free government that
it lost one of its noblest, purest and
most hemic worshrpers when Winfinid
Scott Hancock was gathered to bis
fathers. Philadelphia Times, Feb. 10.
A Story of General Scott.
Every one has noticed the heroic
size attributed General Winfield Scott
in his statues and portraits. Few of
them are exaggerations of his real pro
portions. He was six feet four inches
in height and perfectly formed. In his
foil dress uniform be presented a superb
appearance. It is said that the dimin
utive Mexicans were awe struck when
they saw him, and that many of them
attributed the success of the American
army to the grand physiqe of its leader.
The General was greatly inconvenienced
by his unnsua! siz, and whenever be
had an opportunity always had special
preparations made for his comfort. In
an old album, in Washington, I find
this letter, written by his hand :
Washington, Friday, June 15, i860.
Proprietor of the Girard Hous,e Philadel
phiaGentlemen : Expect me at the Gi
rard nons to-morrow night at 11 o'clock,
and please give me a bed at least six feet
six tnebe In length or one without a foot
board. Yours iespctfnlly.

THE WEAVE AND POTEST SENATE.
There is no part of the country to-day
in which the greed of the Republican
managers and politicians for the spin Is is
not manifest. It shows itself in the Sen
ate's action in refusing to confirm Presi
dent Cleveland's appointments. They
feel it impossible to let go their grip.
Holding three-fourths of the Presiden
tial appointments. 40. (XX) out of the 50,
000 minor postofflces, and four-firths of
the 15.000 department, postal and cus
tom clerkships under the civil service j
law, yet the- -vhlne and snarl and beg
and blaspheme every time on of the
crew is made an official head shorter.
They have no sense of decency or man
hood ; no pride or self respect ; only
hunger for the spoils and anger when
their greed is baffled. This Is particu
larly the case with the Republican Sen
ators. For years they have upheld the
spoils doctrine in its most, extravagant
and debasing character. They have
haunted the departments, crowded the
White House, bargained and intrigued.
Everything for plunder. They consti
tuted themselves bosses to control the
offices, big and little, in their respective
States. They paid their political and
sometimes their personal debts with
office. If there was not enough to go
around they wonld create new officer or
divide the salaries to feed more mouths
and share percentages from contracts.
These are Ihe patriots who are abus
ing Cleveland, although not in the his
tory of the country, since office has leien
recognized bs the reward of political
service, has there. been a President so
conservative and moderate in putting
his party friends in place.
This greed of office is the leading
trait we see throughout the country
wherever the Republicans have lately
succeeded to power in municipal or
State affairs. The one unpardonable
sin is to be a Democrat off with h1n
head but don't disturb our fellows.
In New York at this time, extrava
gant and thieving commissions are re
tained in office with princely incomes,
rather t nan comply with tbe law abol
ishing these commissions and transfer
ring their duties to a single efficient
head. The commissions are Republi
can and the new appointees would be
Punocrats. Gre d of plunder and
place nullifies important reform laws.
The organized rapacity of tbe Repub
lican party that has absorbed hundreds
of millions is on its last legs. The Re
publican Srna'ors are ready to beg and
dicker to save tteir pensioners. But
it's no use. They are going gradually
but sorely sure as fate. Pittsburg I'oxt.
The Company Stores.
One of the chief sources of complaint
on the part of the operatives is trie com
pany stores, or the "p!nck me" stores,
the miners call them. It is held.y ln(,

A Thrifty Provincial Swain.
A remarkable case has just bppn be
fore the courts at Chatham, New Bruns
wick. A young gentleman who, after
many months ot industrious courting,
was ousted from the ladv's affections by
a more enterprising rival, brought suit
to recover the following :
2 handkerchiefs. .20c)
1 silver ring 25c Presents given to
1 pearl- 25t EhzubethDorlon dur-
1 rairslipoers 20o ', Ing courtstiio with
Horse hire SOc'Gustavus Frigault, !
M pound candy. ..20c I and for which bo re- I
1 pound raisins... 15c ceived no value.
1 lb. cotton c!.a;n..40o I
The plaintiff seems to have been an
eminently prudent and economical suit
or. Handkerchiefs at 10 cents each is
almost a famine quotation. The raisins
and the candy they no doubt ate togeth
er. What was done with the "two
pound cotton chain" it is impossible to
conjecture, except it were to keep the
defendant employed while the plaintiff
lingered and loved. How ha could
have conducted a whole summer's court
ing on "Horse hire, 50 cents," is a pos
itive marvel. By judicious advertising
the iecipe could be made to yield him a
fortune in a short lime. The price at
which the rins was secured would
"make" a second hand store if properly
employed as a bait to catch customers.
Against the plaintiff's claim the defend
ant entered a contra account. The
chief items were three gallons of oil,
used during the courtinar, and time lost
by the lady's mother sitting up at
nights to watch the couple. The jury
took the view that va'uo had been re
ceived, and gave a verdict for the de
fendant. The Enelish hangman, Berry by name,

There Is great excitement in Berlin over

W Confidently Aaaert and Can Nat-
istact.irily Prove there Is no InstaDce on rec-
j ord of a case of dyspepsia or torpid liver
mat cannot be relieved and positively cured
by the systematic use of Simmons Liver
Regulator. This is no vain boast but an
established fact ; and sufferers from these
diseases deny themselves the blessings of
liealth and comfort by refusing to give tbe
Regulator a trial. It is no compound of ad
venturers, but a meritorious medicine which
lias won its high reputation in countries
nW 1' prevail and
where Na-
! tare supplies the root and herbs to cure the
i diseases common to its climate.

CfRiOTP to think that df-ks and chairs
