a corpsi1 tor weeks was unknown in

\\abliington ilty contained under ton

The hcconcl vice presidential death oc
curred two yoard later , and Mndibon's
administration showed the curious coin
cidence of two vice presidents dyhijj dur
ing its continuance. Mr. Gerry had presided -
sided over the senate on the day preceding -
coding his death , and ho ate breakfast at
Mr.s. Wilson's boarding house as usual ,
saying he felt well , but had' ti slight op-
pro'-sion of the chest. After breakfast
ho walked out to 'do t-omc business nt ono
of the noviH'iimout-depurtmimts. Ho had
gouo but n short distance before he he-
came indisposed and took a carriage to
return. " \ \ lion the carriage roachuil his
boarding hout.o ho wa found to bo insensible -
sensible , and on , being taken from it ho
expired wilhotttln groan or .sigh. Tliis
was belweon 10 and 11 o.clock in the
morning. The senate at once ad-
.iourniHl , but the house continued
its session , though it adjourned for the
fiinoral next day Thi ) funeral took
piano nt tl o'clock and from the Intelli
gencer of that I see tlmt the Rov.Obodiah
Brown pronounced the funeral service.
Gerry was buried like Clinton , in tlio
Congressional cemetery , nnd though in
his uay ho was ono of tlio greatest men ,
not a ilo/.cn statesmen iu this capital city
liavi : seen his monument or know that ho
ill's here. He was n graduate of Harvard
college , a delegate to the continental
congress , n signer of the declaration , and
one of llio makers -of our cpnslituiion.
though ho rclused to sign it. Ho had
been several limns iu congress , once gov-
arnor of Massachusetts , and also minis
ter to Fnmqo before ho was elected vice
president , nnd Ida whole career hnd been
a most Ftirring one. During his early
days in congress ho narrowly esonpcll
from the British by hiding in a cornliold ,
wlion u bed } ' of lioops captured the hotiau
whore ho wits Maying 'mul were search
ing for him. llo wns the first to
inaugurate as governor of Massnchusetts

comcs. AH a sample ot the
ontei'priso of IBM nnd 181'J , contrasting
witli that of to-day , the chief paper of
Washington city where these two deaths
occurred , contains nbout n quarter of a
column the day after they died in rognrd
to _ their ilQ.iths. ' It desonbcH the funerals
of both in losn thnu Iifly lines , and gives
only the barest' details. Thrco days
after the death of Garry John Gullinrd ,
of South Carolina , was olectcd president

hours that ho would like to live to finish
his book. Shortly before ho died ho

looked at it for aon < * timo. Fifteen'
minutes before he died he heard of the
de.ith at Senator Ferry , of Con-

knowledge of the death of ono of his
dimr friends hastened his death.
The death of Ferry had occurred the day
or night before , and his friends had de
ferred telling him of it nnlil the Inst mo

eslnus attend all high dignitaries , but
they aie a vagahomlish sort , and I was
constantly airaid of being robbed by
them. They were formerly armed with
bows , arrows , Mioars , and Mich old-fash'
ioned weapons , but lately they liavoboeu
taught the use of improved guns , which
they carried. We traveled along the top
of the great wall of China for about
three hundred miles. His indeed a won-

After a liofli\tigmng ( day.when , we

that there WCIM wolves in a cave near by
which would tcai-ry us oil' in tlio night a- >

timnumiliou ynd yrent to the eavc. The
he-wolf was ouUsiiJo. I shot him , and
when the . . . . female nnimal came
out to see wlval the matter was , I killed
her. Then Ccnmt into the cavern and

burden , but furnishes wool , which is
sheared early in Juno. It is a horrible
animal for a novice to ride on long.

After llio first day the novelty ceases

from being thrown in every direction.
Then jou got tired and let go , and yoiii4

you get nccu.stomud to the riding- and it
becomes very pleasant. The inulo litter
is an ngrocnblc cairingo. It is ti chair

THE PUUMEO KNIGHT SPEECH
Hastily Serlblileil at Mght After
lrocrn tlnntlon.
A CJcvt'lnnd I'laln Dealer correspondent
pendent recalls the htorr of the making
of Ingcnoll's IHn'no ' speech In 1970 Up
to thai time h had been simply a reason
nbly successful lawyer of 1'cnrla , 111
Ho was ono of the reuibllcan ] delegates
to the Cincinnati convention of 1870 ,
tinrt strong Ulalne nun , He nnlvcd in'
Cfnciunntl with several ether Illinois
dclcgatos several daj'3 before theconvcu-
llon assembled. The oitv xvns full of
people , and'lhev wer nil having a high
old time. The lllalno men hnd mcell ig.s
uvery day , and did everything in then-
power to "boom" tholr candidate It
was linally decided to liuvo thu noiiiliiut
ing speech made by sonin Illinois mun ,
nnd tlio Illinois delegation settled upon
Inirersoll.
There was present tu the city Mob's
favorite brother , who died : ifowyeai
later , and at whoso grave the great
nthclst delivered his world-renowned
oration. Ho immediately told his brother
of the selection , and that he * had
promised to deliver the speech. The
brother , who \v s somewhat uenou.s
tvied to persuadu him not to try it.
'You are not famoiu enough , " he per
suadcd. "Von are gutting along nnd
mnkiug n fair reputation , but this is lee
big a thing for you. 1 fear yon will
make dead fniluru of It. "
lint Hob had plomiscd nnd would not
back out.
"Well , if yon are determined to do
this , you must do vour best. You must
make n success. To do this you must
get tit it immediately. Don't ' wait a min
ute. Uo into that room and leek llio
door , and begin the speech. "
' 'Oh will do " Hob
, to-morrow , urged ,
and besides I have promised to so with
the boys lo-nlght. "
And away liu went.
The next day passed , and , although his
bi other spoke about the speech several
times , Itoburt did not touch it And so
the time passed till the night before the
convention. The brother , meanwhile ,
had got nearly frantic. Hobort came in
late that niglit and in answer to hia
brother's solicitation , said-
"Oh , brother ; let's get a good night's
sloop.1
And so they retired. Ingorsoll ' ays
that he novel Mept * o soundly in his life
as ho did that night. Finally he woke m >
.suddenly nnd felt perfectly refreshed
Ho got'ii ) ) hastily and looked at his
walcTi. It was 3 o'clock ' a. in. lie went
to the adjoining room vc r.y quietly and
closed the door , so as not to disturb Ins
brother lie turned tlio light down , and.
nlofcing his eyes , imagined thu great con
vention hall , and Ins audience before
him. Then hit began to think of Hlainc.
Finally he began to .say his speech over
to himself. When ho had llnNicd he
took pen and paper and wrote it out as
carefully as he bad said it. lie laid it
away in. the drawer of the bureau and
wont quietly back to bed. It was now
past 0 o'clock in the morning IloA\as
very soon last asleep again , and did not
wake up till past 8 , when his brother was
standing over him , vigorously shaking
him.
him."Hob , get up , get up ! It's 8.30 , and
the convention assembles at 10 DO. I
thought you were goinir to got u ] ) early
and gel your speech ready. It will bis 11
dead failure , and we shall all bo dis
graced. lilaino will not be nominated.
It's too bad , too bad. "
Hob slowly waked UP. and rubbing his
eyes urged thut it would bo best lirstto
get their bteakfait. Hut the brother in
sisted that he , should not leave the room
until he got down to but-inoss on the
speech. By tins time Hob had donned
his pantaloons and remarked.
"Well , vou be thu audience and sit over
there and wo "will see what I can do. "
He then started in and delivered the
famous speech , word for word , as it
was given that day iu tue convention , be
ginning ;
"Massachusetts is proud of Henjamim
II. Hristow , so am I , " etc.
Ho wont on easily and rapidly until ho
reached the following :
"This in grand year a year filled with
the recollections of the revolution ; filled
with proud and tender memoiies of the
past ; with the sacred legends of liberty ; a
year in which the sons of freedom will
drink from the fountain of onthusia.-m ; a
year in which tins people call for a man
who has preserved in congress what our
soldiers won upon the Held. "
Hut the real climax of the speech was
the following-
"hiktt ' mi armed warrior , like a
plumed knight , James G. Hlainu marched
down ( hi ; halls of the American congress
: indlhiewliis slnniii lance lull and fair
against the bra/.ou loruhonds of the de
fame M ofc lite country and the nialigiiord
of his hoiior. "
It is , perhaps , needless to say that Ihu
brother was completely captured. When
liob had finished ho rn.shed to him , and ,
putting both of his arms around him ,
embraced him in the 111,051 , enthusiastic
way. '
"It is simply snblinip , " ho cried , "but
when did you prepare it ? "
"Oh , I scratched it off last night when
you wore , asleep. ( Jo to the drawer there
and yep will find the manuscript , While
I dress , jlca.si ) ( road it over and see that I
delivered it eprreoUy. "
The gruat point with Ingorsoll , niy
friend'qoutinued , is that ho is alwa\s
'self-poSs-.sSiil. ( Ho never gets milled.
SQUID of , Jlu > greatest orators in thK
country havj ) trembled before BO great
an occasion us this. li&h Ingursoll never
baid anything that gave him PO much
reputation as that hit about ( lie "pluniud
knight. . " It has been quoted over MIICC ,
'both ' by Jjlai'ne'.s friends and cnunilc- .
