BANCROFT, TIIF. HISTORIAN. The Venerable Scholar ;Nearly One Hun* dredl Years Old. Advices from Washington are to the effect that Hon. George Bancroft, the historian, is suffering from the effects of a recent attack of illness, which, combined with the infirmities of age, keeps him a prisoner, not only to his room but to his bed. The Gordon setter which used to accompany Mr. Bancroft on his horseback rides sat pensively at the door waiting for the master who will never again mount the saddle. Mr. Bancroft's active life has ceased entirely. On fine days, previous to this late attack, he walked slowly out in the sunshine, leaning on the arm of his faithful serving man. It is per haps not generally known that Mr. Bancroft is the only private citizen in the United States, asido from ei-Sen ators, who is admitted to the fioor of the Senate, his name being inscribed on the plate at the entrance door. Mr. Bancroft's house on H street is one of the stately old residences of Washington. His old friend, W. 7f. Corcoran, lived just across on the cor ner of the square, with half an acre of garden, and the Gadsby mansion, his torical as the Decatur home, where Gen. Beal now lives, is on the other corner. One could hardly imagine a more desirable site for a city home. George Bancroft is one of those literary characters of whom the United States has the best reason to be proud, and one, also, to whom his countrymen are indebted for having redeemed from mediocrity tho literary standing of the young rcpublio. There is no English speaking historian alive at the present day who is anything liko his equal in the two most important characteristics of a faithful historian, devoted research and rigid impartiality. George Bancroft was born during the last year of the eighteenth century, at Worcester, Massachusetts. lie graduated. with high honors at Harvard College, and soon after his graduation he continued his education by a long European tour, ending with some years of study at tho Gottingen and Berlin universities, at tho latter of which in stitutions he received tho degree of I'll. D. His parents had intended that he should study for the ministry, but having had a taste of what literary life aud activity really was, and shrinking from the dull monotony of a New Eng land parson's life, he at last decided to devote his whole time to making for himself a prominent place in the world of letters. He held for a short time the position of Greek professor at his alma mater. His first literary venture was the publication of a volume of poems, some of which were very beautiful, on the politics of ancient Greece, which were very well received by American scholars. Soon after this time he opened a very large school for the in struction of youth. Dr. Bancroft's greatest work, and tho one which has given him a position at the head of America's prose writers, is his "History of the United States." mi ONIS ENJOYS Both the method and results when Syrup of Figs is taken; it is pleasant and refreshing to the taste, and acta gentlyyet promptly on the Liver and Bowels, cleanses the syw tern effectually, dispels colds, head aches and fevers and cures habitual constipation.

IVIIITECIIAPEL CLUB. 1 CURIOUS AND UNIQUK CHICAGO INSTITUTION. rile Police r Olßwroni Cilios Combining in Supplying Mural Decorations of a Queer Sort-A President Who Is Much Respected but Always Absent—Some of the Treasures. .y.y/yTHE Whitecliapel Club, of Chicago, A S organized by jH&c e r t ai n young newspaper men whoso sense of hu . mor '' HGnse grotesque and the arabesque, and of ~ " m * mr a variety of other things chanced to he well developed, and who had a good deal of enterprise. The rented the rooms, held a meeting, and organized a club. In honor of the individual who lias made Whitecliapel famous, Jack the Hipper was elected President of the organization, but, as he has been, so far, absent from all meetings and tho club has not his deti nite address, the Vice President per forms the active functions of manage ment. Under the constitution two members of any profession may be long to the clnb—two bank presi dents, two burglars, two preachers, two actors, etc. And the ranks have been much increased by additions to membership under this rule. It is in interior decoration, as already said, that the clnb comes out strong, and by this allusion is not made to convivial habits exclusively. There ! are several well-known artists among the members, and they have contribut ed sketches which are, to use the ver- I nacnlar, simply pai alyzers. There are one or two portraits, drawn carefully , from imagination, of the absent but (honored President, and there are other sketches as striking. The police force of this and other cities have been called ■ upon and have contributed to the knural adornments. Even the tiro de- ] partment has become interested, and | as for the members themselves they have become collectors with a mission. The banquet-room of the club is j L-sliaped and the long table round ; .which the members sit in lively sessioi 'corresponds in shape. Above the tabh 'dangling from a pulley is a trombon# {which is performed upon when a pam pered menial is required to hi ing ii some more of something. Skeletons j mostly of women, dangle here and there, and there are skulls each witl its ghastly history, among them thai of the only colored man who ever com mitted suicide in Chicago. Nailed or the wall half full of clotted blood is 8 slipper of the Chinese meashant latelj killed by highbinders in San Francis co, a donation from the San Francisco police force, and there are the shackles worn by Martin llurke from Winnipeg and a lot of anarchist relics from the police force of Chicago. There are knives and pistols with which crimes were committed. There are hideous Chinese masks and slung shots, and sand-bags', and any amount of such paraphernalia of red_inurdet. .The vis itor is told the story of each, and the very marrow in his bones changes its composition. There is somo debate among out siders as to what the ceremony of initi ation into the Whitechapel Club con sists of. The obligation is said to bo something extremely sulphurous, yet the actual exercises are said to be any thing but tedious or complicated. I One of the initiated was discovered ta have tho imprint of a blopdy nana "upon LTs shirFfrontT Irnt there is current a theory that the ritual is flexible, and that in many oases all ceremonies, save those of a purely con vivial nature, are dispensed with. Saturday night receptions of the club have become social events of note, and in no instance, it is asserted, has any one present at these reunions failed to return eventually to family and friends. The record of the club in this respect is as pure as filtered water. No bones are bleaching in the alley. The Whitecliapel Club, it need hardly be explained, is not an organiz ation for gain, though formally incor porated under the State law. It has a seal and its blood-red letterheads are curiosities. It is a great institution. —Chicago Times. AMBITION'S END. BY ABBIE c. m'kEEVER. mm " fIK EC a —Here am I/ Nj* 80 white and pret ty; I wouldn't bo a . rough ear of corn for jflKHih anything.

"I have got the imartest dog in the country, for lioney," said the hotel clerk. "He can io anything but talk."

Being pressed to tell about "Spot," i ;lie stranger continued: " 'Spot'is an | Exglisli setter. I paid SSOO for him ind SI,OOO won't buy him. I was hunt- , ng prairie chickens in lowa last fall, ' ind stopped at a well-known hotel at a i rertain town in that State. One even ing a traveling man from New York Iropped into the hotel office. He took i fancy to 'Spot' and wanted to pur chase him immediately. Of course I laughed at the proposition, and at the , same time took occasion to expatiate upon the dog's wonderful sense of j unell. 'He can find anything that you ire a mind to hide from him.' " 'l'll wager twenty-five dollars ho I can't find my handkerchief in this bouse if you'll let me hide it where I J wish to," replied the New-Yorker. "I immediately covered the money, j | with the proviso that Spot should have free access to every nook and corner of the house when in search of the hid- j den article. "The New-Yorker left the office, and was gone for a half hour. Spot re mained asleep on the office floor, near my chair. When the New-Yorker re- j turned I called out: 'Spot, this gen- i tleman has lost his handkerchief; find ' it at once.' Spot jumped up, wagged his tail, and went over to the New- j Yorker. Ho smelled around the man's clothing and shoes for a moment and | then started upstairs. We waited \ patiently for ten minutes, and then a chambermaid came down in a hurry to inform the clerk that an awful racket was going on up in the garret. As the j clerk was posted ho said: 'All right, I'll see about it.' Just then Spot came ! downstairs with a handkerchief in his I mouth. But I was the maddest man i for a minute you ever saw. The dog's beautiful brown coat was inky black ! with soot. Didn't I swear? You see, j that infernal New-Yorker had hid the handkerchief in an old-fashioned drum- j stove in the garret, and then shut the j stove door. In getting the door open ' 'Spot' had overturned the stove, but ' he crawled in just the same anil got the handkerchief. I gave a colored boy five dollars of the stake money to wash 'Spot' off."

A newspaper man came out of an up town theater the other night, between the acts, arm in arm with the manager. "Splendid, my boy, splendid," said the newspaper man. "Sure to draw immensely." "Think so, old man?" replied the manager. "Glad to hear it. Come in here and let's drink success to the star." i And they turned into a cafe adjoining the playhouse and speedily brought up before the bar. There they spied a well-known man about-town, whoso acquaintance the! newspaper man was rather proud of, j and glad of the opportunity to show I his familiarity with the millionaire, he seized the opportunity to introduce his ! friend the manager by name, but omit ted to mention his business. "Have something to drink with us," : said the pleased manager; "we were just going to wet our whistles when we saw you. What will you have ?" "Well," replied the millionaire wear ily, "give me a brandy. I declare I have caught a chill listening to thafe infernal play next door."

Many of the first settlers of Illinois were rude in speech and rough in man ner. Money was scarce with them, and service was paid for in produce. Gover nor 8., according to the New York Ledger, used to illustrate these inci | dents of frontier life by the following ' anecdote : One day when he was jus | tice of the peace there came to his office a young man, accompanied by a young woman. "Be you the squire ?" asked the manly youth. "Yes, sir." "Can you tie the knot for us right away ?" "Yes, sir." "How much do vou charge?" "One dollar is the legal fee, sir." "Will you take your fee in bees wax ?" "Yes, if you can't pay cash." "Well, go ahead and tie the knot, and I'll fetch in the wax." "No," said the squire, thinking there was a good chance for a little fun; "bring in the bees wax first, and then I'll marry you." \ Reluctantly the youth went out to i where was hitched the horse upon which, Darby and Joan fashion, the 1 pair had ridden, and brought the wax in a sack. On being weighed its value i was found to be only about half a ! dollar. | "Wall," said the anxious groom, "tie the knot and I'll fetch more wax next ; week." "No, sir; I don't trust; that's against the rulea of this office." Slowly the disappointed youth turned to go out, saying: "Come, Sal; let's go?" I "I say, Mister," answered Sal, with a woman's wit, "can't you marry us as j far as the wax will go?" i "Yes, I cau, and will," replied the I "squire," laughing; and he did. ! fifteen contestants clad Tor tlie fray, Armed with good steel and in battle array.
