A TYPICAL AMERICAN.
Secset in the Career ol a New England Boy
Who Became Speaker of the House.
Special Correspondence.
New Youk, Nov. 4. An eminent contem
poraneous writer has said: "A politician
thinks of the next election; a statesman of
the next generation." He might have em
phasized this truth by adding that, in the
frequent wreck of candidates and the crush
of ballots, very few politicians survive an
honestly conducted election, while it is pos
sible for a statesman's fame to outlast the
century in which it was made.
Patriotism's crucial test has Increased the
luster of many stars of first magnitude in the
resplendent galaxy of this birth-home of faith
ful public servants. High up, on a gleaming
unrolled scroll, which has no modern parallel,
the name of Galusha Aaron Grow shines
steadily.
His sponsors wore rugged, virtuous, God
praising Connecticut folks. He was destined
to greatly honor them, and did so, notwith
standing the by no means euphonious bap
tismal identity they thrust upon him. The
leading event in his infancy is shown by
17indham county's natal records to have oc
curred sixty-five years ago, on the final day
(or night) of August.
Pennsylvania'? wealth of soil 'attracted his
family; and, when tho flitting was safely ac
'tomplishod and a resting place had been
und in Susquehanna county, jroung Galusha
Began his schooling. This was in 1884. Ten
years later he was graduated from Amherst
college. Seeking a congenial profession, ha
chose the law; studied in Montrose, Pa., and
was admitted to the bar on "'Lexington Day,"
April 19, lb47. At that time David Wilmot
was the most prominent man in the SuEquo
hanna district The whole country spoke his
name, with loud approval or bitter denunci
ation, for only the summer previous he had,
in congress, audaciously challenged national
sentiment.
"Wilmot was known as a Free Soil Demo
crat. He did his own thinking; took counsel
rom humanity and conscience, and delivered
a judgment that subsequent happenings
proved to be unerring. Aggressive and fear
less in championing those rights which Thom
as Jefferson had declared to be heaven en
dowed and inalienable, David WUmot's atti
tude as a legislator was strikingly picturesque
when he arose in the house of representatives
(August, 1S4G) and offered a bill forbidding
slavery in any territory which the United
States might acquire as a war indemnity.
That was his celebrated "Proviso," a fire
brand amendment to the bill which called
for the appropriation of $2,000,000, asked for
by President Polk to cover the expense of ne
gotiations then pending with Mexico.
Galusha A. Grow emulated the bold spirit
of "Wilmot, and, moving to Towauda short
ly after he began practice, became an office
partner with him. Tne connection lasted for
nearly three years, when Mr. Grow's unceas
ing application to books and business so im
paired his health that he was forced to tem
porarily engage In rougher pursuits, out of
doors. He was consecutively a surveyor, a
farmer and a gatherer of tanners' barks.
During the autumn of 1850, he recoived from
Iho Democratic party a hurrah nomination
Co the Pennsylvania legislature. It was very
flattering and tempting, but he declined the
promotion, which had been unsought. Higher
honors awaited him. David Wilmot (Free
Soil) and James Lowroy (Pro-Slavery) were
rival Democratic candidates in tho local con
cessional fight. Their opponent in the Whig
party was John C. Adams. To insure his do
feat, an agreement was made by which Low
rey and "Wilmot both withdrew from the
canvass and united their votes to be thrown
in favor of a popular compromise candidate.
The Democratic conventions speedily reas
sembled. Galuaha A. Grow, then on tho
threshold of his twenty-seventh year, was
placed in nomination by both factions of his
party, and after a hot campaign of a week's
duration ho was elected. "When ho took his
eeat at "Washington, in December of the fol
lowing year, he was tho youngest member of
the house. For six successive terms he repre
sented tho same district in congress, although
bis connection with the Democracy had been
severed when the "Missouri compromise"
was repealed. He was a recognized leader,
giving and receiving hard blows in parlia
mentary debate. HIJ period of service em
braced tho acrimonious sessions of the na
tional legislature, a docado prior to that
""dark and bloody drama" which palsied civ
ilisation, and it also included tho opening
years of freedom's greatest struggle.
Ho was no passivo onlooker when Kansas
criod for justice. Tho "Homestead" and "Pa
cific Railroad" bills woro hi3 especial solici
tude. He throw himself (heart and soul and
lungs) Into all notablo discussions. Tho peo-
plo hoard of h:m far beyond Pennsylvania,
and his impetuous manliness excited their ad- '
miration. Thoucrk regarded as somewhat of
a Hotspur, ho won and kept the good will of
those with whom he (figuratively) crossed
blades. In the Banks3 speakership contest, he
was alert and conspicuous. The presidential
campaigns of John Charles Fremont in 1S56,
And Abraham Lincoln in 1SG0, enlisted Mr.
Grow's hard labor and influential Bpeech. Ai
a member of tho important house committees
ca Indian affairs, agriculture and territories,
ho did yooman's work. His first talk in con
gress wna strong advocacy of tho homestead
bill. Fox flvtt sessions he urged this measure,
and, when it finally passed, it waj his signa
ture (at. presiding officer of tho house of rep
resentatives) that made it a law.
In the one hundred years since the Federal
constitution was adopted, thirty speakers
have boon chosen by the bouse. F. A.
Muhlenberg, of Pennsylvania, was the firat.
He was succeeded by Jonathan Trumbull, of
Connecticut, and then in turn became Trmn-
bull's successor. Henry Clay was six times
honored with tho position. It is a moat in
teresting record of men, policies and epochs.
When President Lincoln cdled an extra
cession of tie Thirty-seventh congress, which
convened July 4, 1SG1, the country was on a
war footing. Troops wero everywhere en
camped, and other thousands of disciplined
and volunteer levies had hastened to tho ex
pected scenes cf coufiiot. Bull Run was yet
to be fought and lest The national capital
was inadequacy defended; and the Ohio,
Mississippi and Potomac riTers were marked
as actional boundaries. It was at this mo
mcutons period that Galusha A. Grow was
chosen spaaker. He graced the cbair to
which he had been elected until March 4,
1888, and, on retiring from the position, was
aderal a nnanimous vote of thanks. Thii
m an exctsptioual honor conferred upon one
wko had, for more than a dozen years, been
a niqco figure m American politics. Yet
hi wholu eai eor, from boyhood up, is typical
f the best traits of his ambitious fcillow
soiujtryinen.
After leavicg-congress he resumed his law
practice. In l&R, and again in 1863, Mr.
Grow was a delegate to tho Republican na
tional conventions, and was chairman of the
Pennsylvania jtato committee of the sawte
party 'a the latter year. The summer of 1S70
wasepea by him in California. Oregon and
British Colombia. In 1S7L, as president of
tho International and Great Northern rsal
rotd. ef Texas, he made his resldonce in Hccls
taB. where he remained four years. Coining
Mec to Pennsylvania in 1ST5, he was an active
txB-ticipant in the tato campai,"ra of that
-yav. and in the presidential burs of 1876.

As usual, articles of great variety have
been discovered in the undelivered corre
gpondence and parcels. One parcel contained
a human skull, the crown of which had been
sawn off; another, thirty green tree frogs, all
alive. In a tin mold was discovered, 6tfll in
good condition, a plum pudding which had
been sent to Australia three years previously,
and had found its way back owing to the im
possibility of tracing the lady to whom it
was addressed. Specimens of the ladies' dress
improver and rac'-et of jjiade unbair for
ladies' beau gear mXj"oe seen in themusenm
in which these various articles find a tem
porary resting place. The composition of
some parcels at Christmas time was peculiar.
In one were two petticoats, a pair of stays,
a leg of mutton and a packet of tobacco. In
! another, a rabbit, stuffed with two tobacco
pipes, tobacco, a doll and a piece of bacon,
the whole being wrapped up in a lady'B
jacket. In the parcels stopped in transit as
contrary to regulation were found a cat. a
t uirrel, pigeons, lizards, dormice, snakes, a
cuckoo, muskrats and moles, all alive, not to
mention one or two other parcels containing
dead dogs and cats.
During the repair of a pestoflice van in use
on a Cornish railway, a 5 note in a dilapi
dated condition was found behind one of the
panels, and with the assistance of the authori
ties of the Bank of England was returned to
Its grateful owner after a lapse of twelve
years from the date when it was committed
to the post. In July, 18SS, complaint was
made that a registered letter containing a
50 noto had not been received at a country
villace, and after careful inquiry no trace
could be found of the missing letter or of its
contenta
Nearly seven months afterward a lady re
siding in the same village happened to open
one of a large number of newspapers which
had been delivered at her house during a pro
longed absence from home, and which were
about to be destroyed unopened, and the let
ter dropped from between the folds of the
newspapers, into which it had slipped while
in the post. She at once returned it to the
postofflce, and it was then duly delivered to
the addressed.
A very objectionable practice, and one
likely to occasion risk and disappointment to
the sender, is tho growing habit of transmit
ting money in various articles sent by parcel
post. Four sovereigns vro found in a mass
of crushed grapes, six in a packet of tobacco,
and ten shillings mixed up with smashed eggs
aud butter.
A native of India, residing in London, ax
pressed a wish in September, 1865, to send
by parcel post the ashes of his cremated
brother, to be dropped into tho sacred Ganges,
but was informed that, unless he could limit
the weight of the parcel to eleven pounds,
the posioffico could offer him no facilities.
No further application was received on the
subject
In a private letter box, near the front en
trance of tho farm of "Wkitepark, Castle
Douglas, a tomtit has for three yejir3 built
her nest. In the years 1SS7 and 1 the per
sistently pushed out tho letters which were
placed in the box, and rebuilt her nest when
it was removed. This year, however, she
permitted the letters to remain, and success

The following curious letter, lately received
from Indiana, shows on the part of the writer
great confidence in the department: "Dear
sir I want to know If you know anything of

A letter was received from Naples bearing
for address a rough sketch of two pears with
the word "London" underneath, and was
promptly delivered to tho eminent soap

The Good and tho Knd.
Ella Wheeler "Wilcox, in a little social ser
mon, takes occasion to say: But, whether in
town or country place, ho who seeks shall
find that which he seeks. The man or woman
who sets forth on a quost of evil is sure to
find it. Early in life I realized that there
was more of pleasure to be derived from ob
serving good than evil, and, consequently,
Bought and found it existing in abundance

It is the crude idea of the youthful mind
that tho wcrld is divided into txvo armies
tho good and the bad one clothed in dark
ness upon the loft, one in garments of light
upon the right, and in deadly opposition to
each other. As we mix with the world this
illution vanishes, for we find tho tvvo armies
clothed in the samo habiliments, mixing to
gether amicably, and the deadly battles are
fought, silently and out of sight in each
human heart, between right and wrong.
A great native virtue, planted too gener
ously in a human heart and deprived of
careful cultivation, often de&onerntes Into
u rank vice, and the world not infrequently
mistakes a sterile and inactive nature for
one of great chastity and self denial The
cummer sunlight is beautiful and beneficent,
but it is not as prono to produce bugs as but
terflies, weeds as ferns, while the winter sun
produces neither. Yet the summer sunlight
is of more uso to us than winter's chill rays,
despite the bugs and weeds. A wise garden

"When a Zulu child is first bora It Is of &

scarlet the Sacred Color.
In Italy, Turkey. Greece, Asia Minor,
Egypt and raanv of the oriental coun
tries the archaic images of the deities
wero painted red; and it has been said
that the traditional practice was intend
ed to please "the color santo," by which
is meant tliat thesa images were regarded
as pretty gewgaws. This la not likely,
and the true explanation is that the
color of red was sacred. All pristine
creeds can, with probability, be traced
ultimately to two origins. They are, in
sun and tne wors&ip of humanity. ReQ
became therefore an exceptionally odious
color when the ascetic temper gained
possession of religion.
The author of "The Wisdom of Solo
mon" betrays a profound antipathy to
the color in the following: "Or ma it
like some wild beast, laying it over with
vermilion, and with paint coloring it
red, and covering every spot therein."
The coloring was rery offensive to him,
and he describes in another place the
voluptuary as crying: "Let us crown
ourselves with rosebuds before they are
withered." Afterward a fresh associa
tion was added, and scarlet typified not
only the sins of Babylon, but their pun
ishment also. Exchange.

The dog is the most submissive of the

dog with the curl taken out of his tail?
I've got one. But the cat is the boss.
Mrs. Fair is very much attached to the
cat. I wanted her to sell the cat, or let
me bring it down here, or kill it any
thing to get it out of the house. No,
sir, she wouldn't have it. Said the cat
could stay in the house as long as she
did. One day she went home and found
a lot of feathers on the floor, and the cat
asleep on top of the piano. The cat had
eaten the canary several canaries. I
said to Mrs. Fair, "I guess the cat will
go now," but she said no. For two or
three days we noticed that the cat didn't
eat anything. He refused beefsteak,
mutton chops, whipped cream, and all
of the dainties. He had tasted the cana
ry, and nothing but canary would sat
isfy him. So we are raising canaries
now to appease the cat's appetite. The
dog eats tho bones and the crumbs which

Tjinibs of the Mind.
One is curiosity; that is a gift, a ca
pacity of pleasure in knowing, which if
you destroy you make yourselves cold
and dull. Another is sympathy; the
power of sharing in the feelings of living
creatures, which if you destroy you make
yourselves hard and cruel. Another of
your limbs of mind is admiration; the
power of enjoying beauty or ingenuity,
which if you destroy you make your
selves base and irreverent. Another is
wit, or the power of playing with the
I lights on the many sides of truth, which
if you destroy you make yourselves
gloomy, and less useful and cheering tc
others than you might be. So that in
choosing your way of work it should be
your aim, as far as possible, to bring out
all these faculties, as far as they exist in
you, not one merely, nor another, but all
of them. And the way to bring them out
is simply to concern yourselves atten
tively with the subject of each faculty. To
cultivate sympathy you must be among '
living creatures, and thinking about
them; and to cultivate admiration you
must be among beautiful things, and
looking at them. J. Ruskin,
A Lucky Man.
His highness the k'aekwar of Baroda,

fortune has smiled upon from his youth.
The romance of his life would read al
most like a dream from the "Arabian

little herd boy, adopted by a princess, he
is clad in purple garments, decked with
jewels, and has a scepter thrust into hia
hands. With loyal arid peaceful sub
jects, a beautiful stretch of country for
his state, magnific rit palaces and well
filled coffers from which he can affoid
to indulge hia artistic tastes and his love
for what is beautiful, he is a prince
whom oven princes might envy. Mon

BatrC Mutn Preferred to President.
When President Harrison was return
ing from his Bar Harbor visit and hie
special car was attached to the Washing
ton express of the Pennsylvania railroad
the conductor went into the presidential
car:
"Mr. President, I have a favor to ask
of you," said the conductor.
"Well, what is it?" said the president,
with the old, weary, anti-ofSce" seeker
look on his face.
"I want you to let me bring in my
little boy Harry, who is on the train,
and introduce him."
The chief magistrate's face brightened
instantly, and he replied: "Bring him in
by all means."
The boy, a bright little fellow of about
11 years, was brought into the private
car and duly introduced. The president
put his arm affectionately about the boy,
and, drawing him to him, said:
"Now, Harry, you must sit right down
and ride the rest of the way to Washing
ton -with me."
Harry didn't exactly know how to re
ceive this proposition at first, and then,
looking up into the president's face, ho
said innocently, in his childish treble:
"I'd rather ride -with the baggage
master."
As the child left the car the president
remarked:
"That's the first time since Fve been
in office that a baggage master's com
pany has been preferred, to mine."
