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."

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.

Ear of Corn
Wouldn't ? Dear
! Wait until your
mistress comes and
takes you into the
house for breakfast.
The Egg —She won't find me; I'm
half hidden by tho nice clean straw,
and besides, she'll soo you first; there
you hang, right before her eyes.
Ear of Corn —Much you know, my
dear Egg, in your soft nest. My mis
tress has other aud far higher uses for
me. Here she comes with her apron
full of eggs, aud not a single ear of
corn. Your time has come!
The Egg (faintly) — Has she gone?
I was never so frightened in my life.
She came anc" filled the nest with a
dozen or more of eggs, and before she
left us, marked our pretty white coats
all over in horrid scratches with a bad
pencil.
i Ear of Corn —l do not understand
myself. Hush! Here she comes again
with a great flopping, clucking hen.
Ah, she lias placed lior on your nest.
I suppose to keop you warm. How
funny! I'll keep one eye open day and
night and see what comes of it.
The Chick —Peep! peep! peep!
Ear of Corn —Who's that?
The. Chick —Peep, peep! Oh, dear,
it's me, your old friend, The Egg.
Don't you remember? I'm so hungry,
I must go with my other little brothers
and sisters and scratch awhile. Mamma
Hen has promised to teach us, peep,
peep!
Ear of Corn —Wonders will never
cease! and now conies the master with
a great sack and in I go.
The Chicken —Ah, I'm in the gar
den. Tommy forgot to fasten the gate,
luckily. Won't I have a good dinner,
with all this tender little corn before
me?
The Little Corn —Don't scratch us
up and eat us, please, Mr. Chicken.
We're just beginning to grow, and
we're old friends. Don't you remem- j
ber us ?
The Chicken —Beginning to grow, |
are you; so am I. Don't you see I'm
nearly half-grown? Hear mo crow!
(Crows lustily.) There, now; I've
worked hard and I've scratched up
every hill I could find and ate all the
sprouted grain. Don't I feel well and
full! I'll crow again, the other chick
ens will know where I am. There's
plenty of woeds for them. (Crows
again and again, is heard by the mis
stress at last, who rushes out toward
the garden with ltover.)
llover —You bad ehicken, to spoil
the nice garden! Now, you just keep
quiet under my paws or I'll bite you.
See, here is my mistress ready to re

"Know the Mayor of this town?" in
quired a man in a plaid cape overcoat
of a policeman 011 Third street.
"Yes."
"I want, to see him on particular busi
ness. Hay, what is his specialty, any
way ?"
"How do you mean?"
"Why, what's the best way to approach
him? who does 110 affect tho most,
wealthy classes or literary talent?"
"I couldn't tell you."
"You see, mine's a delicate mission.
I would like a straight tip as to
whether it's best to approach him as a
representative of an English syndicate
01* a contributor to the North American
Review."
"Why don't you go to him for just
what you are ?"
"Oli, first impressions go a long ways,
you know. I'm selling a patent catarrh
nullifier, but it won't do to say so at first,
as I want his indorsement. I must strike
iu as an Eastern capitalist aching to
sock a couple millions of dollars into
real estate, and from that load on up to
catarrh aud the Latinized nasal organs.
See?"
"I guess your scheme won't work."
"Think not? How would it do to
pose as a man from Kokomo who wants
to build three cotton mills and a dis
tillery?"
"Wouldn't do."
"Not fetching enough, eh? Say Igo
in first with a scheme to work over
straw stacks into wall-paper ?"
" 'Twouldn't catch on."
"Well, how would the idea strike
him to drop letter carriers and Blioot
mail into residoneos by pneumatic
tubes ?"
"Oil, go on."
"Wouldn't hit him, eh? I believe I'll
go in the interests of the beet-sugar
industry."
"That might do; the Mayor's a judge
of heats."
"Oil, you're satirical. But I'm up
on human nature. If Congress wasn't
in session I'd go as a strayed junkoter
whoso pass had run out. As it is, I've
decided to approach him as one of the
United States Fish Commission with
twenty-three oar loads of black bass
eggs and a ton of salmon fry."— St.

woke up from
lis comfortable nap near the stove and
fawned dismally. "I have got the
imartest dog in the country, for
lioney," said the hotel clerk. "He can
io anything but talk." A well-dressed, j
niddle-aged stranger, who was a mem
>er of the party, said :
"I wish 'Spot' was here; he'd show i
fou something worth seeing. He has
jot the keenest scent of any dog I
enow."
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."
The party of listeners looked at one
another in silence, and the night clerk
whistled softly to himself.
In an Awkward Predicament.
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."
Tableau—Disgusted manager, over
whelmed newspaper man and a million
aire becoming gradually conscious that'
he had put his foot in it somehow. |
"Th—th—is is the manager of that ;
play " began the newspaper man. j
"My dear sir, lot me explain," said
the millionaire. "What I meant to say
was that I never can endure pathos,
and really the star is so pathetic that !
"Don't montion it," said the manager,
"Ta-ta, I must go to tliobox-oHice."
"That was certainly a devil of a time
to tell me of my mistake," said the dis- !
concerted man-about-town, who rather
prided himself at never being taken
aback.
And the newspaper man went away
with a bad taste in his mouth, doubting
if ho had ingratiated himself to any
sreat extent with either of his friends.

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.

.r OF CATARRH. -Headache, obstruction of nose, discharges
Br / falling into throat, sometimes profuse, watery, and acrid, at others, thick,
&/ ' V tenacious, mucous, purulent, bloody and putrid; eyes weak, ringing in ears.
If A# deafness, difflciilty of clearing throat, expectoration of offensive matter;
EL T F>'#> J? breath offensive; smell and taste impaired, and general debility. Only a
■** few of these symptoms likely to be present at once. Thousands of cases
result in consumption, and end in the grave.
By its mild, soothing, antiseptic, cleansing, and healing propertios, Dr. Sago's Remedy
euros the worst cases. This infallible remedy does not, like the poisonous irritating snuffs,
ereaius and strong caustic solutions with which the public have long been humbugged*
simply palliate for a short time, or drive the disease to the lunge, as there is danger of doingr
in the use of such nostrums, but it produces perfect and permanent cares of the
worst cases of Chronic Catarrh, as thousands can testify. "Cold in the Head'*
is cured with a fow applications. Catarrhal Headache is relieved and cured as if by
magic. It removes offensive breath, loss or impairment of the sense of taste, smell or hear*
ing. watering or weak oyee, and impaired memory, when caused by the violence of Catarrh,
as they all frequently are. By druggists, 60 cents.
