around the bedside that the general was
growing weaker. Attorney-General Mae
Veagh said :
'The general's preseld attack was nn'.lcl nn'.lcl
pnted, and was the direct result of the ill
iieas of a few weeks age. His present
condition is such that the end can hardly
be delayed beyond morning, It Is doubt
ful If the generul has recognized anyliedy
te-day. He has refused all sustenante,
and this, of course, has tended te greatly
Increase his weakness. The tengue and
right slde are completely parnlyrad, pro pre

was unable te partake efnny nouiishment.

Md.lCll or ms CAUKKII.
(leueral Simen Cameron was born Match
K, 17IK, at Maytown, this county. On the
paternal side,, his ancestors wero the
Camerons of Scotland, who shared their
fortunes w 1th the uufortunate ChailosKd ChailesKd
ward, In the battle of Culieden. Donald
Cameren, ills gi cat-grandfather, cnciihh1
from the lleld and came te America, ar
rlvlng in VH'u Charles Cameren, the father
of Simen, died in Northumberland county,
when the subject of this sketch was nlne
years of age. Simen, then cast iieii his
own exertions, in lSl,r entered us an
apprentice in a iiewspaer olllee in
Sunbury. After serving ills time at type--eltlng
he left Snnbiiry en feet and obtained
employment in the efllee or James Peacock,
Harrisburg. On attaining his majority he
located In DoybJstewn, Pa., and began the
publication of the llucks Ot'tnty Messenger.
Within a year hu merged his paper w ltli
the Dnyl'ettuii n Democrat, changing the
name te, the Jlttchi County Democrat. A
few months after the consolidation of the
papers the piepeity was sold and Mr.
Cameren resumed w erk at the ense en the
National Intelligencer, Washington, D. C.
Anether yeai teiind him Ituck in Harris
burg, publishing the Vteieitcr.ii Democratic
journal. In that v ear, lsii, he wasmairled
te Miss Ilrua, of it prominent family at the
state capital. Governer Shube appointed
him adjutant geiieutl and he also
held the olllee of state pi Inter. Com
ing In contact with the leading
men of the state through elllclal
and business relations he was git en the
opportunity of Interesting himself in the
public Improtuuient euterpilses. He was
ene of the ptojeeters or the Harrisburg,
Mount Jej .V Lancaster railroad, and for a
tlme son ed as its piesldeut. The Lebanon
Vallev i-.dliead, the Northern Central rall rall rall
road.Yiem Hairislmrg teSunlmry, and the
I'einisylvanl.i and Tide Water canals were
among the chief entei prises w hleh he w ltli
ethcis established.
In 1S!2 he becanitt cashier of the Middle-
town (Dauphin county) National bank and
'for twenty-live years was at the head of
this institution. "President Van limeii In
1838 appointed him commissioner te settle
the claims niade against the Winnebago
Indians bv traders, Ills in iniiei of adjust
ing the claims did net meet the appinvul
of the tradeis, and the latter presented
eharups sigailist the comnilssieu te the
president, who then selected another
beard.
When James Bucliau in had tlnlshed his
teini'r.iii the Heuse -el ltepresentatlxes,
Andrew Jacksen sent him as minister te
Hussla,and en lcturuiug fieni that mission
Duchauau told Cameren that he had inude
up his mind te give up ixilitics and prac
tice law In Ilaltliunre. Cameren strongly
opposed this, and undertook te make
Buchanan senator. He niade up a arty
or prominent Peunsyltanlaiis, Henry
Petriken, Samuel J.) Packer, Chariet II.
Penrose and James Thompson, and the3'
visited Washington, but appear te hae
devoted moo tltne te festivities than busi
ness. William Wilkins, senator from
Pcunsylt aula, was eager for the ltussiau
mission, mid it w as arranged that he should
glve up his seat te Buchanan and go
uhread. At this day, when the expenses
of our foreign ambassadeis aie far beyond
(heir salaries, it seems strange te read that
Wilkjus wuuted the Russian aj)peintmcnt
because he could thereby bat e a little and
pav his debts, ltuchanan served with sin h
dlstiiutien in the Senate that lie was twiee
re-elected without trouble.
When Juiues lluchiiuaii enteied Polk's
cabinet as seeietary of state, his se.it In the
Senate beeuine vacant. Gee. W. Wotxl Wetxl
ward was the caucus nominee of the Demo
crats, but there was a wing In the party
who pressed the claims of Simen Cameren.
The balance of pew or in the Pennsylvania
Legislature was then almost held by twelve
nalite Americans and as Cameren was in
accord with them en the tarill question It
was arranged with the niitite Auiciicuu
leader, Henjamln Hanis Brcwdcr,that they
should suppeit him. By this treachery
C micron made many bitter enemies,though
he wen his seat In the Senate. President
Polk would hat e nothing te de with him at
first, though a truce was patched up later.
In u the Democratic caucus nominated
Jehn W. Ferney te succeed Cameren, but
he was ic-clccted by the Whigs and nttlte
Americans and three Democrats. Ferney
had been warmly supported by President
llueliaiuiii. The tliree Democrats who
veteil for Cameren, Lebe, Mallear and
WiiKonseller, were believeil te hate been
purchased and there was intense feeling
ngilnsl them iii the DuiniMTallc jwity, in
which thet became pelltliallv tlead.
His colleague fiein Penustltaiiia, Sena Sena
eor Blgler, ftirleusly uttacketl Cameren's
tltle m the .Senate, but that body re
fused te consider the charges. His name
wus new often mentioned In connection
with the Republican national ticket, mid
he was pieiniueiit lu the Chicago conten
tion or lsUO. When Mr. Lincoln vtas
elactisl president he ettered Cameren the
secretaryship of the treasury or of war,
and remarked that Chase wus a very am
bitious man and was strongly urges! for a
placedji the cabinet.
" The war department i the place for a
man vtlie deklrcs te make u great reputa
tion," was the reply.
Why" asked Mr. Lincoln.
" Because we are going te hatewar,"
responded Mr. Cameren. " our election
will precipitate a civ II w ur, and a man
who Is ambitious can make all the reputa-
tlen he wants at Urn head ofthewarefllco."
Cnmeren was made secretary of war and
began preparations for hostilities en a
large soile. He counseled in his first an
nual report early In the war the arming of
the slaves, and met with a storm of opposi
tion In the cabinet.
Mr. Lincoln suppressed this suggestion
from the official report. Cameren did net
seem te have the confidence of the presi
dent for divers reasons, and seen resigned.
He was at once appointed United
States minister te Russia, and suggested as
his successor In the cabinet, Edwin M,
Stanten. After accomplishing the estab
lishment of mera friendly relations with
Russia, Cameren returned home. He at
once vigorously urged the renomlnatieu
of President Lincoln, which was then lu
sonie doubt He had a paper prepared and
signed by the Legislature of Pennsylvania
urging the necessity of IJncolii'sre-electlen
te Insure the success of the war. After this
there was no opposition.
He again entered the senatorial contest
In 1807, and was elected and ro-eleeted suc
cessively, retiring in 1877, and being suc
ceeded by his son, J. Donald Cameren, new
the senior senator from Pennsylvania. He
was chairman of the committee en foreign
rolatlensand strongly urged the encour
agement of the building of the Central
Pacillc railway and a liberal distribution
of public lands. He was net an orator or a
debater, but was always influential and a
leader in practical legislation. Senater
Conkling encn said that Simen Cameren
was the wisest politician that ever lived.
Since his retirement from the Senate he
has net been quite Inacttt e in politics, and
his Inllucuce was felt In the Uarlleld cam
paign. In 18SS, lu his eighty-ninth year, he
niade a trip te Hurepe. His ninetieth
birthday was celebrated at Harrisburg by a
reception. Deth branches of the Legislature
called upon him in a body. His brother,
James Cnmeren, was a colonel of Pennsyl
vania Volunteers in the rebellion, and was
killed at Hull Hun.
Gen Cameren leaves a laige estate, and
his four farms lu Fast Denegal township
are models for agriculturists the world
ever. His mansion near Maytown has
been visited by many prominent inen.
Gen. Grant frequently visited him, and
greatly enjeyed his generous hospitality.

The lliiytleu SeItHe.rn Take n schooner
Fer n Tiiruet.
The schooner Hal tic, of Provincetown,
Captain Jeseph Fisher, arrived at New
Hodleid, Mass., en Friday, from an Atlan
tic ocean whaling voyage. Captain Fisher
had an exciting experience last May w Idle
at Sam Uav, Saint Dominge, where he pet
in fur water. He visited the bay February
0, and was beanled by the olllcer of the
fort, it general, w he came en leard with
soldiers anil Inspected tliH vessel. Captain
Fisher said he w as going w haling, and the
general gave him permission te get weed
and water as long as he stayed in that
vleinitv.
On the l'Hh of May the schoenor again
v UUed the w uteri ng iilaee. At rt o'clock in
the evening, tlte soldiers under cemmaud
of nit officer, ciiniodewu and fired tenor
fifteen shots at the schooner. They wero
armed with geed American rides. When
the first shot was llred Captain Fisher was
art with the officers, and all hands biitthe
stew aril w ere en deck. The first shot Just
cleared the captain's head, passing a feet
aboveliim. The next two went forward
uinnng the crew standing en the windlass
bits. Thov Wssisl clese te tit e seamen.
With the bullets flying the captain had no
opportunity te show the American flag.
The soldiers en shore kept tiring and Ca
talu Fisher eldens! nil hands below and
went himself. When the soldiers found
no ene en deck they tired Inte the vessel,
hitting the copper cooler near the foremast,
the b.ills going through It. It was se Inte
when the tiring stepped that Captain
Fisher did net dare go ashore for fear he
would be shot In the dark. The next day
he w ent ashere and demandcd an ex plana
tlen.
The officials gave him no satisfactory an
swer, saving they thought the vessel was a
Spanish smuggler, but as Spanish vessels
thereabouts carry no beats en the sldt he
leselted te seek a higher authority. Ac
cordingly, en May 10 he went te Grudjua,
eight miles te the westw ard, and sought ln
interview with General Pappoe, wlw or er

President Harrison distrusts and feuis
Ids secretary or state, Mr. lllalue, te such
an extent tliat the Impression continues te
grew that Mr. Ulalne turn net linger ninth
longer in the cabinet. At the treasury de
partment a story Is current illustrating this
slate or nihil rs. In lbsj, I :. O. Graves was
assistant treasurer ofthe United Stutas.and
had been in the department many years as
a Hiiniibllciiu. When llliilue was nom
inated Graves boldly declared that lie
thought the ltcpuhlicau nomlnee was a
scoundrel, and he (Graves) vtas the only
prominent ltcpuhlicau in official llfe in
Washington te siipHirt Clet eland and Hen
dricks. When Cleveland became president
Graves was niade chief of the bureau of
engraving and printing. When the present
administration came into power Mr. Ulalne
was prompt lu suggesting thn removal of
Graves. The latter knew this, but would
net resign. Finally, hew ever, Ulalne se
curest the co-eih? ration of Secretary Windeni
lu the lemntal of (imtes. The president
was evidently kenning Graves lu just te
aniiev lllaine, se Wlndeni broadly Inti
mated te Graves that he hud better mete
en mid clear out. Graves did se, and till
Mav 1 he turned in his resignation and left
fer'Seattle, wliere he intended te locate.
As seen us the resignation reached the
piesldeut he investigated hew it liatl lieeu

cabinet officers, anil he sent ler t, raves te
come back and resume business ut the old

humiliation and chagrin or Ulitiiiu mid
Wlndeni. New that President Hairiseii
has taught them vt hat he hopes vt ill pret e

lesignatien, and let him go hack te Seattle,
("apt. W. M. Meredith, of Chicago ene of
