Hives w ill be remember ed when his sneering detractors are for gotten is to state the cae far too mildly. In one res;ct or.'y is there any reason fur answering the ex-Prtsidcnt'a tra iueer. It is tcid in a few quarters that he was guihy of personal wrordoing when he atcepted t'ie Presidency, that he took what Le kne dijnot belong tu him; that, therjfjr-, h:s casrarter as an hfeioiahle ma i. a Christian gentleman, is i;np?ac!ied. 7.'.e Pr: has already oi.-.ted ov.t t!:at Lis tiMe to the Presiden -y wan as well tvaMii-Lcd by law as that ol "any incumhent of thcgiat erli'; from WaJjinirton down; that the Bi'tortl Commission which decided the tjuejtions iu dispute was aroeJ upon by b jth parlies and that both parlies jileJgd themselves in ad vance to abide by the decision of that tri bunal. It was net ordy Genera' Hayes' lawfa! rij;ht to take the Presidential OIK'S?, but h:s mora! right. It was nit only his legal aud moral ri;;ht, but his imperative duly as a loyal clt:z.-n. Having aoeeptei his party's nomination; hiving been icdlceted by the vote-of the p-p!e of the country, in the manner procri bed bylaw, as their choice, he couid not honorahly retrest. The mstter had gjtic beyond his control. His word was pleifTtd. No matter how much he mlf;t:t hivrh:unk from the perils aud burder.s of the oi'iee, ucdtr the cireuntau'-vs it would have been treason to duty had he refused it. This would be true even in the case of sn orprary Presidential election. The reason is plain enough. After the nomination has besii accepted and the election held and vic tory won it is no longer an individual's will or willingness that is to bs consi l -red, but a sacred trust belonging to the suicessful party and the ei:iire ountry. In the peca l:ar intn'rein question this obligation was increv-ed a hundred fold. Ordinarily, should the nr.i receileiited case occur of a President elect refusing the otfi btfjra the e'eetora! votes Lad Uen ountej, it would only mean cor fasion, disappointment, just indignation against a recraut leader. A new party con vention mi,ht be helil, if time permitted, or iheelec'ors chosen by the victorious party miht agree upon another candida'e of the sam paty. Itut if General llajes had re fised, ahrr the c-mmission airard.-d the place to him, it would have meant chaos, universal cjnsterns'.jn.

When Mr. Lincoln was ica'iu lated there were Cve of them, including the outgoing President, but when Mr. Hayes Limself was inaugurated there were none at all, except the outgoing President, tieneral tirant. Wa-Lington was alive wh-n Lis suc cessor, John Adams, was elected, but die-d soon after. The next ex-President to die was Madison, whose death occur red during the first te-rm of l is immedi ate successor. Then came the simultane ous deaths of the cider Adams and Jeff erson during the term of the younger Adams. Monroe die J daring Jackson's first term, leaving John eiincy Adams the only ex-Preeident. From that time until the term of Polk there were no deaths in the ranks of ex-rresidents, of whom there were four when Tulk was inaugurated. 1. Q. Adams, Van Buren, Jackson aad Tyler. The elder Harrison was the first President to die in nt!h-e deaths in that line occurred. The two ex-rresidents just named died daring the war, and Buchanan soon after. Mr. Cleveland's old townsman, Fillmore, sur vived until Grant's second term, himself aud Andrew Johnson ltb dying during that tern, leaving General Grant as the on'y ex-President from ISTTtolSSl. The next ex-President to die, Arthur, was al so elected to the Vice Presidency. General Grant lived nntil after the in auguration of Mr. Cleveland, when be joined the msjoiity, beingthe last in the list nntil the sudden debase of his im mediate successor, in the Presidential chair. Such, in brief, Is the death record of ex-rresidents. Considering that the of fice is for only fo::r years, anl at the farthest eiht, it is remarkable that the number at any one time should be so small. A good deal has been Bai l about w hat provibion should be made for men who have held the highest office in the gift of the people, and it may be said that it would be impossible to improve upon the past presidential career of the one who Lasjastgone to LisCual account.

When you ask a favor of a friend the on ly satisfactory answer Is by shall or will, without if or but- On the other hand if the answer is by may or caa iLere remains an element of doubt, and still more when might, could, would or should is used. From this it would appear that when we wish to rpeak with assurance shall or will should be used, may or can to denote prob ability, and might, could, w uld or should to express uncertainty. Shall is also used id ihe sense of must, and should in that of ought. The verb in tbe leading clause be ing the key-note, the rest must be in harmo ny, or at least not inconsistent with it.

Va , Jan. 22-It has Just been found tnat lbs family or Sylvester Murphy, consisting of himself, wife and six children, living in a hovel near Bridgeport. Harrrsbnrg county, bave pawed throngh the recent exteme cold weather in a balf started aad in some cases wholly frozen condition. No member of tbe family bad been seen about tbe wretched hovel for some days; there was no smoke from the stovepipe, and the snow was piled in unbroken drifts against tbe door. A committee of citizens dug tbe family o it yesterday, ficding every one of them bAt-efooted, noue of them half clothed all of thsm starving, and some of them frostbitten j S) that the sight was sickening. There was j no fire, ntt a vestige of furniture in the hut, i and tbe only articles fuund were an iron pot and a piece of bed quilt When found tbe family was hnddled together as birds or animals "bunch" for mutual warmth in severe cold. The feet of all the children, two girls aad four boys, were froxen so rbat gangrene had appeared, and in the case of the two boys the bones were visible where the flesh had sloughed away. Murphy was the only one able to make a statement, and he fainted from Lunger while he was try icg to answer the questions of the visitors. He said it was tbe usnal bard luck story. No work, sickness, and then destitution end despair. He re'ated that the boys were frozen worst because they bad made sallies in there bare feet to dig wood out of the frozen snow. When their feet jrot so bad they couldn't stand on them tbe whole tribe went cold. They Lad simply settled down to die. County Commissioner Lodge, J. R- Mc Lain and other prominent citizens made a pool and purchased supplies to make them barely comfortable. Thysiciana were called and the frosted limbs of the children were fixed as far as possible. Tbe two boys were taken to tbe town and cared for by one of their benefactors. Last night, hobbling around on their diseased feet, which they could ose only with excruciating pain, they made a partially successful attempt to rob tbe man who bad befriended them. Then they were sent to the jail hospitaL Tbe girls had to be sent to the hospital, and tbe physicians aay that In at least two of the four cases amputation of the frozea limbs will be necessary to save their lives. A Will In a Love Letter PAUtrcsBran, W. Va., Jan. IS. Wro. Collins, a respected young citizen of Lewis county, died a day or two since, leaving preqierty worth several thousand dollars. While living Collins had been paying atten tions to Miss Minnie Collins (not a relative), and that young lady now claims bis proper ty and produces a letter written by the de ceasd which she considers a valid will, and by which she will probably get it. Ia the letter the following sentence occurs : "I now state what I told you before : If I leave this world before we are married, and we are still corresponding, I will leave you my all after my expenses arc paid." Tbe letter was undoubtedly written by the deceased, and only a few days before his death, and is conside red valid by many. Saw Three Coffins In a Dream. Bextos, Md , Jan. H. Triple death bas invaded the family of Samuel Langell, liv ing near Two Johns, and thus the premoni tion of Mrs. Langell, herself a victim, was borne out.

Before her death, Mrs. Large!l declared she saw three coflins brought into the house, one Urge one and two small ones. When the undertskor came to care for the first child who died, she said : "That's the man who brought the three Collins I saw in my dream." She had never seen bira before.

During the trial of the somewhat noted Sanders case in the district court to-day Judge Reed quelled a small-sized riot by whipping the defendant, Ox-ar Sanders. Mrs. Sanders bad been granted a divorce from ber husband, tLe manager of the Sanders transfer company, after a long trial, and the court was hearing the argument of counsel on the disposition of the child, a boy 3 years old. Wearied with long attendance upon court and the excitement of tbe day Mrs. Sanders fainted. While she was beiDg carried out of the crjwded court room tbe husband seized the chi'd and started1 for tbe door. Be was iuterc-pted by a brother of Mrs. Sand ers and tbe bailiff not being present Ju.lee Reed ran d iwn and grappled with the mad dened father, who fought like a demon ; but he wae no match for the doughty jude, who choked hi--j down into a chair and de livered the child to its grandmother and re sumed court. A ripple of applause ran over the court room, but the judge rapped for order and postponed further consideration of the casa until to morrow morning. A Terrific Disaster.
