Heairiclt' Death.
THE VICE PRESIDENT PASSES AWAY.
AFTER A FEW HOURS ILLNESS.
Indianapolis, Nov. 25. Hon. Thos.
A. Hendricks, vice president of the
United States, died very suddenly at
his residence at 4 :45 o'clock this even
ing, under circumstances that were
particularly distressing to his family
and friends, in so- much as they had
not anticipated tho fatal termination
of hia brief illness, and nobody was
with him when death cam. He re
turned from Chicago last Saturday
find since then has been complaining
somewhat of pain in his head and
breast, but nothing serious was
thought of it. Dr. Thompson, the
family physician, says that in bis
opinion Hendricks died of paralysis
of the brain, and there will probably
be a post mortem examination to
establish what the disease was.
Thomas Andrews Hendricks was
born in Muskingum connty, Ohio,
Sept. 7, 1819. In 1832 his father set
tled in Shelby county, Indiana.
Thomas graduated at Sooth Hanover
college in 1841 ; studied law at Cham
beraburg, Pa.; was admitted to the
bar there in 1843, and returned to
Indiana to practice. In 1848 he was
a member of the legislature, and in
1850 a delegate to the state constitu
tional convention. From 1851 to
1855 he represented tho Indianapolis
district in congress ; from 1855 to 1S59
wad commissioner of general land
office, and from 1863 to 1869 was a
member of the United States senate,
in which ho was regarded as tne dem
ocratic leader. In the democratic
national convention of 1868 in New
York, he was strongly supported Tor
the nomination to the presidency.
As candidate for governor of Indiana
he was defeated in 1860 and in 1868,
but was elected 'in 1872 for the term
ending Jan. 1, 1877. In 1876 he was
nominated for vice-president at St.
Louis by the democrats on the ticket
with Samuel J. Tilden. In 1880 he
was a candidate for the nomination
of president in the convention of his
party at Cincinnati, but was defeated.
In 1884 the democrats again nominat
ed him for vice-president, this time
on the ticket with Cleveland, and
both were elected.

The Prussian
Railroad
government owns
five-sixths of all railroads in Prussia,
and successfully attends to the ad
ministration of the same. In most
all the other German slates of some
importance, nearly all railroads are
in the same way owned and run by
their state governments. The good
resnlts of this system cause Austria
and Italy to imitate the same.
In Prussia they, at present, are
trying an extension of this System to
the running Of sleeping cars by the
government railroad officials. So far
the sleeping cars were furnished and
run by an international sleeping car
company. On the Berlin-Hamburg
R. R., the first trial wiU be made,
with sleeping cars run by the state.
This system does away with all the
terrible abuses, to which in our coun
try the uncontrolled ownership and
administration of railroads by greedy
corporations, lead.
What those states for the benefit of
their people can do, certainly our
states and the United States can do
for the American people.

A SoTerelgm Balm.
On the 19th of February, 1861, I
fell from a railroad train in motion,
and was badly injured. By the mis
treatment of physicians who used
calomel to remove the bruised blood
from my system instead of bleeding
me, I became the victim of blood
poison. A few years after my mis
fortune the poison in my blood made
its appearance on my person, and I
had sixty-five scores on my left side,
from my neck to my toes, of various
sizes, from that of a dime to a silver
dollar. I was reduced in weight
from 165 to 103 lbs. I suffered dur
ing all the time frtfm the inaction of
my liver and the constipation of my
bowels. During ail these years pant
I have been treated by doctors of the
different systems of medicine, with
varied success, alternating between
hope aud fear as to final results.
Among them all I found no perman
ent relief. Early in January, 1885,
despondent and almost disheartened,
I determined to take a course of
Swift's Specific, which, much to my
surprise and to the astonishment of
my friends, has given me more relief
than all of the remedies of all kinds
which I have taken in the past
twenty-four years. The mercury
treatment left me covered with scars
as black as my shoe. Swift's Specific
caused them to scale off, and my flesh
became white and clear, its natural
color, and the only mark is a little
brownish line aronnd the edges
where these sores and scars were.
My liver is now in fine condition,
my bowels acting like clock work
regularly every day. My complex
ion is better, my blood clearer, and
my whole system is in a better con
dition than it has been since I was
hurt. I have been a citizen of this
part of Mississippi for forty-five years
past, and any citizen or public officer
of this county will confirm the state
ments I have made in reference to
my case. Luke J. Whitfield.

Youth is the vision of a morn
That flies the coming day;
It is the blossom on the thorn,
Which wild wings sweep away;
It is the image of the sky
In glassy waters seen,
When not a cloud appears to fly
Across the blue serene ;
But, when the waves begin to roar
And lift their foaming head,
Ihe morning stars appear no more
And all the heaven is fled,
1'is fleeting as tho passing rays
Of bright electric fire
That flash abont with sudden blaze
And in that blaze expire.
It is the morning's gentle gale
That as it swiltiy blows
Scarce seems to sigh across the vale
Or bend the blushing rose.
But soon the gathering tempests soar,
And all the sky deform:
The gale becomes the whirlwind's roar,
The sigh an aagry storm.
For Care, and Sorrow's morbid gloom.
And heart corroding Strife.
And Weakness, pointing to the tomb,
Await the Soon of life.
