INCIDENTS 07 A LONG AND NOT ABLE PUBLIC CAREER HIS HOODOO OF SENATOBI AL " . SEATS. Washington Dispatch to New York Evening roib The newspapers announce that John H. Reagan, Postmaster General of the late Confederate States of America and only sur viving member of its cabinet; sponsor for, and would-be au tbor of the inter State commerce law, and an almost incessant of fice holder for sixty-three years, is about to retire to private life. If Mr. Reagan were fifty-four years old instead of eighty-four, he would now be in the thick of the anti-trust fight, far his great bugbear is, and always has been monopoly in trade. He is re membered nere, However, as an interesting man, when he could be dragged by main force away from his fad of making over the commercial fabric It was one of his sore points that people would continually refer to the civil war in his hearings as a struggle over slavery. "It was not the slave question at all that brougnt on the con flict," he would declare, "but in duttri&l jealousy. When Jeffer son made the Louisiana purchase the New Eugland States objected strenuously, on the ground that the addition of this Territory would give the agricultural in terests of the country prepon derance over the manufacturing interests ; they even threatened to secede. Similar demonstra tions occured when Missouri and Texas were admitted as 8tates. Before the crisis which brought on the civil war, various Federal administrations had been severe ly criticized when they had pur sued policies disapproved by any of the States, but nowhere ex cept in New England had seces sion been seriously considered, Indeed, till the Southern States proposed to withdraw from the Union, no one appears to have questioned the right of a State to do so, whatever may have been thought of the expediency of secession." In the Senate Reagan's favor ite occupation was sitting side- wise in a chair and playing cat's cradle with a piece of string. He would busy his hands thus for hours together while listening to a debate, but proved his atten- tiveness by frsqaent queries and other interpolations. The seat he occupied in this way was al most never his own. Just why he should prefer that of some one else it would have been hard to say; it was probably due more to his generally restless habit than to anything else. But he would pick out a particular one that seemed to be habitually empty, and tako up his position in it day after day, regardless of whether it was better or worse situated than the one belonging to him by right. This led to a curious -'noodoo superstition. There was a succession of deaths among the Senators on the Dem ocratic s'de of the chamber dur ing oue rather short period, and somebody noted the fact that while these men were ill Reagan had taken a f aney to their chairs and sat in them a good deal. Oue day Zebulon Vance was stricken down by some temporary ail ment and ordered to bed by his doctor. But nothing would in duce him to go till he had writ ten a note to Senator Pasco, the Democratic "whip," asking to have his pairs promptly attend ed to, and ending with this pray er: "For merev's sake, don't let old Reagan get my chair."

Gold can buy nearly every thing in this world, except that which a man wants most hap- jpiness, . To secure a contented spirit, measure your desires by your fortunes, and not your fortunes by your desires.

Uur love ior one another may be strong and true in the sunny days, but it never reaches its holiest and fullest expression until pain has touched our hearts and called out the hidden treas ures of affliction. The people who talk about not caring for worldly advan tage, money, and social advance ment, are. in nine cases out of ten those who really want to get on just as much as their neigh bors, but they don't know how to do it. Many Die in a Collision. Charlotte Observer. New Yobk, Jan. 27.

The heavy ensiue of the Royal Blue tore its way into the rear oar and at the same time rove the forward end of that-nwfVinto the rear end of the car ahead,, which in turn, was driven into the third car and this in turn was driven iu to the fourth car from the rear. The fourth car was only partly wrecked but the last three were torn to pieces. The engine of the Royal Blue left the rails aud turn ed over on her side, the engineer and fireman, sticking to their posts and going down in :he wreck. They are now in the hospital at Plainfield and the engineer is not believed to have a chance of living more than a few hours. Boy Fsualiv Injured in Lion Case. Charlotte Observer. Atlanta, Jan. 27.

Good Tasting Medicine Cod liver oil is in universal re pute as the best body builder in wasting diseases, and the best reconstructor in recovery from severe sickness known to medicine.

Their stomachs either reject it, or are so upset by it that the dose does more harm than good. Vinol is the only preparation of cod Hver oil which contains no grease or bad taste yet does con tain all the virtue of cod liver oil, and is deliciously palatable. It also contains organic iron.
