LAGEIE Ruuuing Domestc LAST WORDS OF PRESIDENTS, The Olosing Moments in the Lives of the Republic’s Chief Magistrates, Cleveland Leader, In a late letter I told you something of the lsst days of the presidents, but I omitted to say much as to thelr deaths, We have preserved the last words of them, John Adams and Thomas Jeffor- son both died on the rame day, and that the 4th of July, 1826, They were frlends during thelr latter years, and Adama’ last words were: ‘‘Thomas Jeffor- jon still ltves,” but history shows that he was mistaken. Jefferson had died an hour before, exclaiming: ‘‘Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace,” and “'I resign my soul to God—and my daughter to my country.” John Quincy Adams gave his last breath in the capitol at Washington, saying: ““Thisls the end of earth; 1 am content,” and Gen. Harri- son, whodied 1In the white house, said “Sir, I wish you to understand the prin- olples of government, 1 wish them oar- ried out, T ask nothing more.” Garfield's last reported words, as he Isy racked by his terrible wound, were: “Ol, that pain!” But Lincoln becsme unconscious when he was thot, and re- malned so till he died. George Wash ington was sane during his last hours, and he spent them In calmly arranging his affsirs, He told his wife to bring two wills which he had made, and to burn one of them. He then grasped his pulse with one hand ana counted the beats until he dropped back dead. Wash ington died of a cold, Polk of the chol- era, Andrew Johneon of paralysls, and Gen., Harrison of cold, pleurisy and cholera morbus, President Jackeon was for thirty-one yearsa diseased man, and the Iatter part of his life was spent in al. most continuous pain. Even on his death-bed he was tortured by office-seek- ers, “Iam dying,” said he, ‘“‘as fast as I can, sud they know 1t; but they keop swarming about mo in crowds, seeking for office—intriguing for office.” His deathbed scene was a most affecting one, A half an hour before his death his chil- dren and fricnds were standing around his bedside, and his adopted son Andrew hiad taken his hand and whispered in his ear: “Father, how do you feeli Do you know me?” “Know you? all if I could see. cles.” These wore brought and put on him, and he eaid: *‘Where is my daughter and Marlan? God will take care of you forme. Iam my God’s. I belong to, Him. I go but a short time before you and I want to meet you all, white and black, in heayea.” At this all burst into tears, and the general said: *‘What is the matter with you, my dear children? Have I alarmed you? Oh, don’t cry. Be good children, and we will all meet in heaven,” These were Jackson's last words. A short time after this he passed peace- fully away. He died a Christian and a Presbyterian, Thomas Jefferson was more of a deist than anything else, and when he died he said he would be glad to see a preacher who called *‘as a good neighbor,” thereby intimating that he did not to nee him professionally.

The ticket won the first prize of $150,000. Feeling under obligatlons to the agent, the winner told who purchased the $13,450 copy at_the Perkins sale and afterward let Mr. Huth it at less than cost, Mr. Quaritch a bulldog-looking man, and he pulled his slouch hat over his ears and planted of a man who will brook no rivalry. The famous book was passed around— two big volume —mostly for the benefit of sihtecors, The men who had intend- ed to bid on it had Jong before examined it carefully. Then Mr. Wilkinson, the auctionner—a qulet, easy-speaking man —remarked that the book would not be knocked down for less than £2,500, and end invited bdis. “Five hundred pounds,” siid some one. *Ope thousand,” growled Mr. Quar- itch, contemptuonsly. And then, £50 at a step, the book advanced, Mr. Quar- ftch and Mr. Snowden, a commission clerk, being the bidders, until £3,6560 was bid by the latter. That was all he had been’ commissioned to bid, and so, when Mr. Quaritch said ¢3,700,” thera was for a minute no response. Finally, Mr. Ellis, a London collector, bid £50 more, and a thrill of excltement ran through the crowd, for Mr. Ellis is a de- termined bidder. But Mr. Quaritch, ecarcely deigning to glance at his new op ponent, at once settled the matter by raislog that bid, not by £50, but by £160 at 8 jump. To his dogged 3,000" there was no response. The hammer fell. The great French dealer had not made a single bid. Now, a paragraph about the book and its history. It is called the Mazarin Bible because it was first noticed in the Mazarin library at Paris, Twenty-seven copies of it are in existence, of which seven are printed on vellum and the others on paper. Two coplos are in the Britlsh Museum and two in the Natlonal Library at Paris. The book bearsno inscriptions showing when or where printed. It is well sot- tled, however, that 1t was the first book ever printea from movable metallic types, and was_ printed by Faust and Guttenberg at Mayence between 1450 and 1455, The paper edition in the Paris library bears a written tnscription on the last page, stating that the work of illamining and binding It was finished 62 W.

The paper signed by the judges was the certification to tho euccessful candidate that he had been elected, Several of the states send their notices of the elections direct to con- gress, but more turn the certificates over to the representatives elect and Iave to them the filing of credentials. “‘Some states required a formal accept- ance of the office,” continued Gen, Clark, *‘Thisis the caec with Georgia, The goveraor notifies the successful can didate, and the office muet be acoepted by letter, or the governor claims that no one has been chosen, and a new election must be held.” The clerk is recelving some curious letters In respondb to his unofficlal Jist recently eent our.
