“Killed by a letter” Is the significant
heading of n Havana newspaper over on
arlicie telling of ex-Minlsler de Lome's
fall. This legend would be an appropriate
epitaph over the political graves of many
public men. The rivalry between Hamil

party, and Adams, the leader de Jure, In
cited Hamilton's letter during the cant,
paign of 1800, arraigning Adams, which
was oiu of the causes of the rupture and
overthrow of that party and the triumph
of Jefferson and the Democracy. Hamil
ton's letters attacking Burr were tho
bause of the duel in which Hamilton lost
his life. Jefferson's letter to Ills old
neighbor, Mazzei, in 1796, In which, by
pretty plain implication, he traduced
Washington and other men whom tie
American people honored, kept JeiTer-on

creation and publ.eation of Jefferson s
"Anas,” of diary, which is really a sort of
letter to posterity, with its spiteful as
saults on the memory of Hamilton and
other eminent men, showed an amazing
lack of discernment on Jefferson s part,
and has called out from ail his editors
and biographers excuses w nidi accuse.
“Never write a, letter,” said Talleyrand,”
“and never burn one that you receive.
If Nicholas Biddle had observed the first
part of this injunction the fate of Ihe
United States Bank, over which he presid
ed, would probably have been different,
Jackson would not have been able to per
form that second labor of Hercules In
slaying the bunk "hydra,” and the poli
ties of the 30s would have lost one of its
most picturesque ey.nodes. An interesting
and usually level-headed personage, Bid
dle had what Juvenal called an "incurable
itch for writing,’ and this led him and
his institution 10 their doom, defeated C ay
ami Ihe National Republican party in
1833, and, as one of the consequence. of
the bunk’s overthrow, brought on the
panic of 1837. The “Rhea letter” precipi
tated the contest in 1830 between Jackson
and Culhoun which put Calhoun out of
the title of succession to Jackson in the
Presidency, made Van Buren Jackson's
political heir, dwarfed Calhoun from a
national to a local figure, and turned him
to the partisan metaphysics out of which
were evolved nullification and that morbid
and wire-drawn political philosophy in de
fense of slavery that brought on the war
which destroyed slavery.
There is a fine touch of poetic irony In
the circumstance that Van Buren, the m m
who said he would rather walk forty miles
to tell a. person something than to intrust
his thoughts to a letter, met his doom
through the medium of a letter. It was
a letter, however, which he was absolutely
forced to write, and it was called out in
the spring of 1844 by the necessity of de
claring himself on the burning issue of
Texas annexation. The letter. In which
he mildly and tentatively opposed annexa
tion, defeated him for the nomination for
the Presidency a few weeks later and gave
the candidacy to the dark horse, Folk, an
outspoken annexationist. Everybody re-,
members the wreck, which letter writing
inflicted on Blaine’s fortunes by defeat in
the conventions of 1876-and 1880 and at the
l>olls in 18S4. His fatal readiness with his
pen brought an Ilald of woes to Clay. “I
am tli<‘ most unfortunate man In Ameri
can history," exclaimed Clay after one of
his reverses to Henry A. Wise. "I get the
nomination In the years when no Whig
can be elected, and in the years when any
Whig can win the candidacy goes to some
body eise." In the year, however, in
which his success seemed certain, 1844, he
was defeated by iris campa gn letters on
the Texas question. “We are beaten,”
exclaimed Joshua R. Gktd ngs to Cassius
M. Clay, as somebody put into his hand a
paper containing one of Clay’s letters, just
before both of them mounted the stand at
a Clay mass meeting at which they were
to speak. He was right. The’ letter,
which made a surrender on the slavery
question, sent enough anti-slavery Whigs
over to Bimey, the Liberty party's candi
date, in the decisive state of New York to
give that state and the Presidency to v>.v’-
“The chief qualification which 1 shall re
quire of a Whig Presidential candidate
hereafter,” said Meredith P. Gentry a few
days after Clay’s defeat, “is that he shall
be able to neither read nor write.”

pious of the No Meat Diet.
' From the London Sketch.
Visitors to the vegetarian exposition at
the Memorial Hall found nothing to try
their faith so severely as the vegetarian
cat. It was not present in person, for the
sufficient reason that it has been dead
these' two years, but Its portrait in oils
shows it to have been a more than usu
ally comely specimen of Its kind. Ml9e
Whitfield, its owner during the fourteen
years of its earthly career, asserts il.at
the likeness does no more than justice.
Queen Mab was a tabby, long-furred and
finely marked. Her Infancy was spent un
der the best auspices, her mother being
a Persian and her birthplace a clergy
man's house in Shropshire. She came into
the care of Miss Whitfield at the age of
three weeks, and since then till her la
mented death remained under that lady’s
roof, not even proving inconstant, as some
flesh-eating breeds do, when the house
hold removed from Shropshire to Thorn
ton Heath.
Queen Mab was a vegetarian, not by ed
ucation, but by Instinct. From thf> time
she developed an extraordinary passion for
vegetables of all kinds. Her favorites
were peas, beans and Brussels sprouts,
but nothing came apiiss. She would go
out Into the garden and eat strawberries
off their beds. Beetroot nnd dates she
reveled In, though tlnpse are not uncom
mon feline tastes. In the case of potatoes
she made a distinction. She would de
vour them with avidity so long as they
■were not boiled. With that exeeptiofi, she
had no particular views about cooking.
For beverages she preferred milk and co
coa. Her singular diet did not affect her
health, for she lived to her mature age in
the best condition and tcmiK-r.
On coming to the ticklish point of
Queen Mab's vegetarian principles, it is
necessary to make a qualification. Vege
tarians, as we know, consist of more than
one sect. Queen Mab may be called a
vegetarian of the second degree. She was
not averse to washing down a cauliflower
with cream, and she would eat meat at
a pinch, but her predilections were mani
fest from the first. When she could get
vegetables she would not eat meat, and so
the animal element was gradually drop
ped out of her bill of fare. Most of her
peculiar tastes were acquired during her
country life, when a large garden minis
tered to her every desire, and after com
ing to town her mistress made a point of
seeing that the daily cabbage was not di
minished.
Did Queen Mab catch mice? The truth
will out; now and again, but rarely, she
lapsed to that extent. But not In malice.
"She would not play with them,” said
Miss Whitfield. One last word, and it is
a saddening one. Queen Mab’s daughter
and only descendant, has succeeded to
her place In the household. She is a
voracious meat-eater.
