THE LAST OF A RACE.
An impressive realization of the
changes which the half century has
brought in the personnel of the coun
try's public men is furnished by the
semicentennial celebration at Altoona
the other day. Of all the governors
who gathered at place in the
closing days of September, 1862, only
one survives. This is William
Sprague of Rhode Island. He was al
most the youngest of them all, but is
now 82 years of age, has met reverses
, of many sorts, and no longer takes
much interest in the social or politi
cal affairs of a country which he once
served as governor, soldier and sen
ator. All the greatest figures of the civ
al war era Lincoln, Davis, Grant,
Lee, Sherman, Joe Johnson, Sheridan,
Bouregard, Sumner, Yancey, Henry
Wilson, Toombs, Thaddeus Stevens,
Alexander H. Stephens and the rest
of them, on both sides, civil and mil
itary have passed away. Some of
them Lincoln, Yancey, Stevens and
Lee departed more than forty years
ago. Nobody who is in either branch
of congress now was there at any
time during the rupture of 1861-65.
Many of the present members had
not yet been born. The member
whose service goes back farthest is
Joseph G. Cannon, who entered the
House of Representatives in 1873, at
the beginning of Grant's second term
as president, and who has been there
ever since, except for one term of
1891-93.
"The gods are all deadl" exclaimed
Tom Corwin when, on the eve of the
war, he took a look into the Senate
and House on his election to the lat
ter chamber, after a) short absence
from the halls of legislation. All the
bigger personages who had served
with him years earlier in one or oth
er chamber Clay, Calhoun, Benton,
Webster, John Quincy Adams, Pren
tiss, Preston, and others were ab
sent, and nearly all of them dead.
An even sense of change must have
come to Galusha A. Grow, the speak
er of the first war Congress, when
be returned to the House in) 1895,
after an absence since 1863. To a
still greater degree Sprague would
find himself a stranger in a strange
land if he, with the memories of the
associates of the civil war era, should

of the Sixty-second Congress. A new
generation has made its advent since
his days of prominence. The present
president of the ' United States was
less than four years of age when Lin
coln entered office in 1861.
Shot an Angel.
Now and again we hear of strange
and rare birds being shot in England,
but how many sportsmen except Mr.
Wells' clergyman can claim to have
shot an angel? One such man exists,
though it is doubtful whether he Is
proud of his skill. It was nighttime,
and he was passing Crayford parish
churchyard with his gun over his shoul
der when he saw what he took for a
ghost He leveled his piece and fired,
but his aim was wild. He had failed
to wing his quarry. Investigation show
ed that the ghost was a sculptured an
gel on a tomb, and he had shot off one
of its toes. He admits now it was not
a ghost he saw. London Chronicle.
Sash Cords.
The life of a sash cord will be length
ened if it be dusted and wiped with a
greased cloth occasionally.
An Ingenious Ruse.
Herodotus tells of an ingenious ruse
employed to carry an Important mes
sage through the lines of the enemy.
Histiaeus, being anxious to give Aris
tagoras orders to revolt, could think of
no means to send the message to his
ally, as all the roads were carefully
guarded. Finally he hit upon a scheme.
Calling his trustiest servant to him. he
ordered that the man's hair be shaven
off. He then pricked the desired mes
sage on the scalp of the slave and.
waiting until his hair was grown out.
dispatched him upon the errand. The
messenger passed safely through the
lines, and when he reached Aristagoras
his head was again shaved and the
message read.
