our people hold him in memory. Hh
was a native of Unhand and came to this
country before tlo Revolution. Poring
that trying tima ho was u tiuo patriot
and entered the Continental army, where
ho greatly distinguished himself as a
dashing cavalry officer, imperially ut the
buttle of Guilford. As Commissary Gen
eral of the Southern Army -he became
familiar with accounts and acquired im r
cautilo precision and accuracy in business
He settled at Halifax in 1 733 and en
tered upon the practice of law. In
1786-87 he reprcsoutel Halifax in the
House of Commons nud in the latter
year was also u member of the Federal
Convention ut Philadelphia. He was
again in the General Assembly in 17SD,
91, 91, 90 and 93. Ho was uppoiuted
by the President a Brigadier General in
the U. S. Anuv. aud on the 1th of
December of the same year was elected
Governor of the State. In 1799 he went
with Ellsworth and Murray !o l-'iauceas
American' minister, lie filled also at
different times various other important
offices. lie was tall, well made, and
remarkable for his line looks and the
dignity of his uianucis. It' ho had su
periors iu legal hniiniug uud close reason
ing, he was an orator inferior to none iu
the State. His diction was copious; his
illustrations fine and his peri ids well
balanced and ornate. If ho had faults
us. a speaker lb -y wcro that he sacrificed
simplicity and perspicuity to pomp and
majesty; that he thought m ire of what
ho should say than of producing eonvie

wit frequently flashed above the heads
instead of reaching th J hearts uf those be
designed to impress. His voice was
sonorous and capable of iii'tnilo intona
tions and at times its melody had all the
fasciuation of uiusio. Select and culti
vated audieuees ho would have startled
by his brilliancy aud excited to rapturous
applause.
His fortune j;raw rapidly, and in his
mode of life he was perhaps luxurious;
his habits were studious, his tastes refiued
To tl.fi establishment of Republican
principles ha had emineutly contributed,
and among them ho cherished none more
than thoso which secured to the individ
ual his independence. For tho good of

this sketch is taken he bore himself too
loftily aud thus forfeited the love of the
people. In 1803 ho was beaten for
Congress by Willis Alston. The charge

Wheu the great responsibilities aud
(lul ins of tin.' leaders of the prominent
labor ot'giiniz.uions of tho uountry are
taken into consideration it is found that
few ru'iu have as much power as tin y, at
their several centers of influence, to pro
mote or retard the general welfare of the
people. It is of tho utmost important!
therefore that tho men occupying these
positions should be men of broad minds,
largo view:', comprehensive understand
ing, competent, to deal with men and
alliurs, conservative in temper, ant ye',
imbued with the spirit of progress and of
an enlightened and loyal pitriotism.
Among the labor leaders of America,
one of the ablest aud Must influential h,
by universal concession, Peter M. Ar
thur, who has been for tightccu years
the grand thief of the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers. Nineteen years
ago Mr. Arthur was running nn engine
on the New York Centra'. Iu 1871 he
was elected to bis present position at a
salary of 3,000, which has since been
raised to $5,000, Eccr since, hft has
piloted the order through manifold diffi
culties with masterly skill, and has won
the confidence of thousands upon thou
sands or honest ana oapaLio men wno
trust him implicitly. While other labor
nders have been fnipiently and bitterly
opposed in their ovu ranks, Chief Ar
thur lias had the remarkable experience
of never having encountered a seioa
antagonism in tho brotherhood of which
he is the head.
The order has grown" to a total of lit).
000 members, with 185 sub divisions.
covering every railroad iu the United
States and Canada. Its mutual insurance
ociety has a membership of 13,000, and
its monthly organ is now a handsome oc
tavo of 100 pages. The leading quality
of Mr. Arthur's mind is caution, and to
this quality may be attributed his uni
form and unfailiug success, lie is un
alterably opposed to strikes and boycotts
and has unswerving reliance on the prin
ciple of arbitration for the settlement of
disputes both between the order and rail
way managers, aud rdso between different
members or divisions of the order itself.
The success wb:ch Mr. Arthur has
achieved and tho prosperity of the splen
did organization with the management
of which he is intrusted, show him to bo
a nude! leader a position for whiob he
is fitted by intelligence, prudence, insight
and control.

When he came homo that night ho
was more drunk than usual. The drudgo
who called herself his wife was ironing
clothes, lie caught her Jiand and roared
out:
"So you've lost a whole day, eh?
She struggled to get away, but he
tightened his grip, leered at her and

"You do nothing but eat, and cat, and

"Got any money?" he hawled.

The little girl is sick. I was home tend
ing her all day, or I would have had time
to go out and hunt more work. That
job for the steamboat will be at least a
dollar."
"Send the brat out to beg!"
llo kicked her as she lay there on the
floor. Then he closed the door with a
bang and went out iu the night.
That next afternoon the woumu ap

Senator Ingalls, of Kansas, has been
elected an honorary member oi the Min
neapolis Cod Liver Oil Club. Thcro was
uo doubt about bis eligibility, and his
election was unanimous. Ingalls' uieagro
endowment of flesh has been the occasion
of a good many stories, ouc of the ho-i
of which was related the other night by
another Kansas man at the West.
"You know how lean Ingalls is," he
said. "Well, down iu Atchison there is
a doctor who is a great friend uf tho
Senator This doctor had been greatly
annoyed by a newsboy who would come
into his office very unceremoniously and
pester him by trying to sell papers.
"One day when lugalls was in the
office the boy was heard coming up the
airs, and the doctor decided to put up
a job on him. He rushed out an articu
lated skeleton, placed it in a chair by the
desk, and then the two men withdrew to
the back room.
"In rushed tho boy, and, without no
ticing what was at tho desk, came direct
ly up to the skeleton. When he looked
up and saw it i.nnntng at him he was
nearly scared into convulsions, and bolted
for tho door, yelling bloody murder. The
oke tickled the doctor, but. Ingalls con
science pricked him, and 'going to the
window, be looked out for the boy, who
was standing below crying.
" 'Come up stairs, my boy,' he s.iid;l'll
buy one of your papers.'
"But ths uewsie began to yell harder
than ever, and between his sobs he man
aged to blubber out: 'Oh, you can't
fool me even if you havo put your clothes
on.' " Minneapolis Tribune.

An Athenian professor of mathematics
named Damaskin has invented an ice lo
comotive, which ho expects will carry
him to the north pole. He has given an
order for the construction of a large lo
oomotivc after his pattern and is now
calling for volunteers to accompany him
to the Artie ocean.
The locomotive w to have ;in unique
arrangement by which it lays and takes
up the rails as it runs. Short spikes on
tho uuder side of the rails will mako tha
latter temporarily fast in the ice. Tba
locomotive will be operated by steam and
at the same timo will throw out en nigh
heat to keep the travelers from sun,
from cold. One cab, attached to )
locomotive, is to carry the provisions for
the exploring party.
Tho locomotive and cab will be con
veyed in parts to Spitsbergen, Professor
I'auiaskin says, and will there be put to
gether. It will then be run for the north
potent tho rate of thirty miles per hour.
As Sj.itabergen is about 000 miles from
the north pole Prof. T)ainaskin expects to
reach his destination in twenty hoiirj.
He allows eight hours for his observation
and twenty hours for retnruiug, so that
the wh'ilrt trip, from Ppitzborgen and re

himself about his horse's lew so tightly

by the neck and succeeded at last in tear
ing it loose from the horse. Ho threw
the snake as far from him as ho could,
which seemed to enrage it more, and
placing its evil eye ou Mr. McCormae,
it sprang upou liiun, folding his body.

Mr. McCormae went for a rail (which

he returned, to his aim-iement, tho snake

intention of fastening itself again upon
