From the Cincinnati Times. The other day a young housewife left her home In this city to spend a few days with sev- eral lagy friends in Hamilton, Before going she provided. a good supply of cold edibles for her husband and told him that he could help him- self whenever he was hungry. He took lunch downtown and went home in the evening for inner. As he tells the story, he found cold chicken, cold butter, cold, pie, cold milk, ould salt, cold mustard and several other cold dishes, but with all that he wus not entirely satistied, and hunt- ed high and low for something else.

Incidents im the’ ef John B. Gough. John B, Gough, the eloquent temperance lecturer, who died in Frankford, Pa, Thureday afternoon, was born at Sandgate, England, August 22,1817. He emigrated to the United States in 1829, and soon after became an sp- Prentice to a bookbinder in New York. He fell into intemperate habits, and was accustomed to sing and recite in taverns and low theaters, where his powers of mimicry and action made him 8 favorite, Settling in Newburyport, be ‘went from bad to worse, and finally found bim- self st Woreester, where, in October, 2 he ras rescued from the degradi of drunken into which “he had fallen, throngh ‘the influence of Joel Stratton, @ worthy” shoemaker. He then be- in to lectitre on tie horrors of drink, and found it so profitable that he extended his lecturi tours to all parts of the United States, an visited England several times, Soon afer he je prominent as a temperance lecturer he was drugged in New York by some enemies of the cause, and about ten days after his disap- pearance he was discovered by friends in alow Tesort in that city. He wasin a pitiable condi- tien, and many weeks elapsed he was re- stored to health. He then resumed his tem- Perance work with renewed vigor, and the gen- eral belief that his fail was the work of his ene- mies, and not voluntary on his part, rendered him more popular than ever, During the first year as a public speaker, Mr. Gough made 383 speeches, and since he began he has appeared before an audience altogether 8,567 times up to the beginning of the present year. Ata fulr estimate, he has spoken before 8,000,000 | people, and has traveled over 450,000 miles in’ meeting bis appointments, Mr. Gough first went to England In 1853, and remained two years; he again went in 1857 and returned in’ 1866, and again in 1878 and returned the next year. During his three visits he made 1,260 speeches in England. When he first went to the old university city of Oxiord, in 1854, he could find no man who would pre- side at ‘his meeting. The capped and gowned got them "io permit, hin to spenie by ap- gol em rm ma Feeling to thelr dinglish love of fair play. fhe next time he visited the historic lace was in 1878, Then he was entertained ¥ noe roleseor Green,. and by the great philologist, Max Muller, and Canon Ellison pre- sided at his meetings. "Up to 1860 he spoke exclusively upon temperance, but in that year he was persuaded, after much’ hesitation, to de- liver in New Haven a lecture on “Street Life in London.” This proved as great a success as his temperance discuurses: and was followed by “Lights and Shadows of London Life,” “Elo- quence and Orators,” “Peculiar People,” “Facts and Fiction,” “Habit,” “Curiosity,” and others with which thousands of his admirers in this city are familiar. He has continued to lecture on temperance whenever and wherever he is asked to do so, but of lute years has been most frequently heard on other subjects, When he began those outside discourses he was accused of deserting the temperance cai but re- sponded that he had done nothing of the sort, but had simply exercised his right to talk on any subject he pleased. John B. Gough belongs the unique distine- tion of having addressed more human belngs than any man now living on our ‘globe, And no man living has been the innocent occasion of so much hearty laughter and as many honest tears. Spurgeon began ten years later than Gough, and has sonable notspoken more than halfas'oiten, Henry Ward Beecher did not rise into celebrity until Gough bad been tora half dozen years the prince of platform speak- ers. He married Mary Whitcomb, of Worces- ter county, Mass., in 1843, At the time of their marriage he was worth the coaton his back and ten silver dollars, The same evening he fulfilled an engagement to talk temperance in a school house. She took him on trust and stood by him unti he rose into world-wide fame as an orator and philanthropist. ———— ‘The Suicide of Rev. M. Jardine. GRAVE INNUENDO BY A PASTOR AGAINST HIS BISHOP—A SCHISM THREATENED, A telegram to the New York Herald from St, Louls, Mo., February 17th, says: “A sensational sequel to the sulcide of the Rev. M. Jardine de- veloped here this morning when the Rev. George C. Betts received from Bishop Robertson a letter, to which he promptly replied. Rector Betts delivered a eulogy over the body ot Mr. Jardine, at which he said the dead minister had been murdered and that “priestly hands were steeped in his blood.” ‘This has been construed by many to be a direct assault on the ministers who tried Jardineand the bishop who approved their finding. There has been considerable sur- prise that the matter has been allowed to rest so long. In the letter that has revived the whole matter the bishop calls attention to the fact that Mr. Betts is preparing aclass tor con- firmation some time in Lent, and quotes the sensational language referred to above, and in- fag ee Betts that unless there isa retraction e bisho} will refuse to confirm candidates presented by Mr. Betts. The reply of the rec- tor, couched in exceedingly tormal terms, inti- mates that the bishop is going out of his way to take the words to himself, and flatly refuses toretract, Thus the matter stands, and there is a feeling of apprehension in chureh circles of the Episcopal denomination which bodes ill tor allconcerned. - 3 <——__ee0____ Thought She Heard Her From the Cincinnat! Commercial Gazette. One of the most remarkable and perfectly authenticated cases of a presentment of ap- proaching evil occurred in Springfield, Ohio, in connection with the Driseoll murder case. Early Tuesday morning, Feb. 9, at the time when the struggle must have taken place in the factory on Columbia street, where George W. Driscoll met his death, Mrs. Driscoll, the mother of the murdered man, was awakened by hearing herself called by her son’s voice sounding out ol the darkness, Thrice came the cry, “Mother! Mother! Mother!” So real was the'volce that Mrs. Driscoll spoke to her hus- band and asked iiim ithe had not heard it also, bulhe was sleeping soundly, Thinkin; 's Voice. | that some member of the household had called, Mrs. Driscoll arose and awakened the mem: bersone by one und asked them if they had called. ‘They all denied that they had spoken, and the source of the cries could not be dis covered.

From the Chicago Herald. “Yes, I've been visiting my friends up in Chicago,” said the passenger from ows, “and I can tell you that I have seen some sights worth looking at, For instance, we went to the opera. ‘The performance didn't interest me a bit—it ‘was all in sume foreign gibberish,and I could’nt get head or tall of It, Mebbe other people could, but I doubt it, The audience interested me very much though. In one of the boxes, where everybody could see her, was a great big fat woman, dressed as I never saw a woman dressed before. I have heard of such things, but I never believed in their existence. Yet here 1 saw it with my own eyes, and had to believe. It wasaregular fat stock show. In the adjoining box was another big fat critter, aiso on exhibition, and the way those two od lowagers giggled and simpere ‘whispere to each uiliee bebind thelr tans and neted silly was quite a revelation to me. But the funniest thing was in the box op- Posite, There sat a scraggly girl, with shoulder-blades like a played-out plow horee’s, and elbows as sharp as garden stakes. She had seven moles on her back, and every one wasin plain view. And as my wile hud told ‘me to take notes of all tne things I saw likely to interest her, says I to myself here's my chance. I'm considerable of a natural artist myself, and so I took out a plece of paper and a Penell and drew asketch of the scrawny girl's ack, with a diagram of those moles, every one correctly located. It was a good sketch, to, as natural as life, and I was thinking how pleased my wife would be with 1t—cause she never saw @ woman dressed that way—when the curtain wentdown and aman who had been looking over my shoulder says to me: “Come and take a walk with me, I want to see you.’ “1 thought he wanted me totake adrink with him, and so I went, “He took me out into a fine saloon, but he didn't mention drinks. “sir, said he, looking pretty mad like, ‘what paper do you represent? “T began to stammer, being kind o’ knocked out and confused; when he wenton: “‘sir,’says the man, flercer than ever, ‘that young lady is my sister.

There is $50 if you'll agree to tear up that sketch and notmake another. If you refuse this offer, aud ut a picture of my sister's back in your paper, TitiePid'you.” Do you hear me? heard him, you bet. And, as I'd rather have $50 than be killed any day in the week, I took his money und skipped out, The next day Tbonght a new dress for my wife, and I know She'd rather have that than any picture ever made, But I couldn’t help wondering why a picture of the young lady's back would be so ruinous to her fi printed ina paper when she had deliberately gone and ex; her back, moles and all, to two or three thousand people, sitting In the ‘most conspicuous spot possible, and right ander the glare of the electric lights, There's some strange foiks up in Chicago, for a fact.” jatarday Smiles. “What is your name, little girl?” “Minnie.” “Minnie what?” "Mingle “Don't” ‘mainina calls me.” They tell in Louisville of a citizen of that town who came to New York recently and lived at one of the most expensive hotels here.

Hancock re- membered the old relationship of the cadet time, and said to the brother-in-law of the gen- eral-in-chief, who told him the news: “I love Sam Grant.” The was mutual.

Then Grant looked up and said with as much en- thusiasm as I ever knew him to betray: “Han- cock's a glorious soldier.” ee ror changed his opinion. | Hancock wes al iven the advance or the exposed posi- tion, He ‘bore the brant of the battle of the ‘Wilderness; he made three terrible assaults at Spotsylvania; he led the march to the North Anna; he was in the thickest at Cold Harbor. His troops were the first of the Army of the Potomac to come up before Petersburg, and in the subsequent movements on both sides of the James, at Deep Bottom and at the explosion of Barnside's mine—always, until the opening of an old wound compelled him to leave the field, Hancock was given the command which re- quired the most superb daring, the clearest ead, the most sustained military ability, More than once I heard Gen. Grant say that if Meade were removed he shouid give the command of the Army of the Potomac to Hancock. In the march from Cold Harbor to the James, Grant's headquarters came up with Hancock at tho point where Long bridgo had once crossed the C hickahominy. Vhile the troops were ing, the commanders dismounted, and rant, Hancock and Meade were sketched on the grass together with thelr officers around. Never were three great soldiers more in com- plete personal accord. There was no assump- Hon on, the part of Grant, and the feeling of camaraderie was perfect. They chaffed each other; they told stories of West Point and the frontier, they discussed the movement in which they were engaged; and finally Meade referred to some resolutions of a Pennsylvania convention nominating Hancock for the presi- dency, Both Grant and Meade poked tun at Hancock for this, and he good-naturedly re- ceived it all. Indeea, it rather tickied him, He was not appointed a brigadier in the reg- Jar army for Spottsylvania, but Grant was per- sistent, and in August nominated him again. This time the promction was conferred. ‘In 1866 the grade of general was created for Grant, This made Sherman lieutenant general and left 8 vacancy among the Se ponerae to which Grant promptly appointed Hancock, who thus received both his promotions to the rank of general from his old cadet comrade. HOW GRANT AND HANCOCK FELL OUT. During the reconstruction period they were on differentsides. Grant believed that Congress was right in the long struggle with Andrew Johnson, but Hancock espoused the views of the President, Grant at first had no suspicion Of the leaning of Hancock, and when It became apparent that Mr. Johnson was determined to remove Sheridan from command at New Or leans and substitute Hancock, the geveral-in- chief sent a staff officer to warn him of the pur- hand of the President and what he considered its mischievious tendency. Hancock, however, was ordered by Jonnson to report at'Washing- ton betore he went to New Orleans, and Grant, who was now convinced that Johnson's course was full of danger to the country, went In pei son to visit Hancock at his rooms in Willard’s to put him on his guard. But Hancock had already determined on his conduct, and was not to be affected by Grant’s advice or urging. From this time their relations were strained. Hancock proceeded to New Orleans against the wish of Grant, determined to carry out Mr. Johnson's policy, which his general-in-chiet be- leved to be alniost treasonabie, und which he was directed by Congress to thwart. Hancock constantly issued orders in conformity with the views of the President, which Grant as con- stantly overruled. Finally Hancock asked tobe relieved and the request was granted. They never again lad auy pleasant inter course. ‘There were times wien each supposed the other had been discourteous, Grant was wld that Hancock came to his headquarters and wrote his name without paying his gen- eral-in-chiof the courtesy of a further visit, and remarks of each were repeated to the other not calculated to encourage amiable sentiments. But there was no positive hostility. ‘When Hancock was nominated for the presi- dency, Grant, in the privacy of his own house at Galena, uttered some caustic criticisms to an indiscreet visitor, which the same day were telegraphed to the entire world, Among, other things, he said that Hancock was “am! tious, in and weak.” Hancock at first refused to lieve that Grant had used the words; but, though they were never meant for the public, Grant could not and would not disavow them when the reporters rushed for confirmation or denial, Then Hancock was very much pained, and I doubt whether a reconciliation could eve> have been effected. In his last days Gen. Grant more than once spoke Lo me of this cireumstance and regretted the pain he had given Hancock. He was gen- erous in his praise, and, though he criticised what ne thought foibles and graver faults, he declared that he ought not to have used’ the words which Hancock disliked, This Hancock never Knew; but with equal nobility he bore his part in the great funeral over his ancient chief and comrade. The majestic character of those rites that attracted the attention of the world Was greatly due to the tender care and chival- Tous punctilio of him who thought the dead chieftain had wounded him, The two soldiers have fought their last fight and ended every difference. Each at the last Was full ot soldierly and brotherly generosity for the other. ——_—__+e+—____ ‘Thebaw’s Cruel Queen. From the London Standard. The King, seated at an opening in the low platform of the house, had no particular rich- ness in his diess and was, as far as I remember, without jewelry, the only Royal appendage that Lnoticed being a huge gold spittoon, so heavy that it is said to take two men to carry It. In rsonal appearance he was stout, and looked a ttle heavy and unintelligent, but if anything I should judge him to be guod-humored. There Was a ceriain quiet dignity about him, I thin! and which 1 suppose seven years of absolute ae must give any one. The really interest- ing figure to me, and I think to all present, was the Queen, who’ crouched behind the King in the orthodox court position of respect. Only two European men were known to have seen her, and innumerable had been the stories we had all heardofher. She has been credited with uncounted executions, many of them oi her relations or ber rivals -and the two are here synonymous—one of the most horrible being the tale, weilor ill founded I cannot say, that she had caused a poor girl, who hud attracted ‘Thebaw’s attentions and wasenciente by hit, to be beaten te death, Many of these stories of what took place in these inner rooms, are in- Yentlons, and let us hope that this at ledst is so, That she has possible rivalsis certain, and only yesterday 1 was speaking to sume of her hall- Sisters (the most dangerous of possible rivals), who still wept and shuddered with the most abject terror at the mere mention of her nam She has a rather fine forehead, good eyes, a nose not as straight in Hae as it might be, a rather small chin, to which the side lines of her face slope rather rapidly from the slight prominent cheek-bones and broad foreheas Bhe jooks poe souee and clever, and but tor one teature would, I think, be goodlooking. ‘This feature, it is scarcel; netessary, I suppose, tosay,is her mouth, Her lips are thin an pepe and @ strong curve gives them a rd look, which spoils the rest of the face.
