I DEATH OF GEN. HANCOCK. THE OR EAT SOLDIER CALLED TO IIIM FINAL HUNTING PLACE. The (Sudden Demise of the (Senior Major General of (he United Minted Army. General Hancock’s death was the result of a malig nant carbum 1* on ths back of bis seek, which had confined him to bed for several dsys. No serious alarm was felt, however, until shortly before ho expired. In front of No. 8 Governor’s Island, an or¬ derly on fiiesdav was pacing to and fro. It was the late residence of Major-General Win¬ field Scott lianoock, who had died therein at 2.35 o'clock. If the general had lived until the 14th day of the present month he would have completed his sixty-second year, having been born at Norristown, Pennsylvania, Fub- ru ary 14th, 1824. In the second story fron room, furnished with soldier-like simplicity, lay the remains of a general who,as the guards remarked, had led the troops to more battlei than any of his military contemporaries. The death of General Hancock was a surprise to his family—it was a shock to them as to his friends. Twenty days ago he started on business con¬ nected with the department of the Atlantic to Philadelphia, and tin where he remained two days, ington n proceeded to Washington. In Wash¬ a boil developed on the back of bis neck. It. was lanced on January 30th, and as the general was much inconvenienced by its pres¬ ence, he returned to New York several days sooner than be had designed. During the first week of February ths boil developed into s malignant carbuncle, which prevented rest or Dr. sleep. Janeway was called in attendance, and it was not until marked weakness had resulted from the presence of the carbuncle that the surgeon discovered that General Hancock was offering from diabetes. Dr. Jane'vay celled in consultation Dr. Sutherland, medical di¬ rector of the departmeut, and Dr. D. M. Stiin- son, of New York. The medical men conclu¬ ded Monday that tho case was assuming a very serious form. At 10 o’clock Monday night, be¬ fore going away, Dr. Janeway found his pa¬ tient in good spirits and able to assist himself, and he left him apparently improved and in charge of Hospital Steward Itobinson. At 6:45 Tuesday morning Mrs. Hancock dis¬ patched an orderly for Dr. Janeway, as ’Ttie ’she feared the genoral was sinking rapidly. doctor came speedily, and found tho general in a comatose etate, with feeble pulse and all the premonitory symptoms of death. The doctor summoned the two physicians already named. Hypodermic injections of brandy and ether, and of carbonate of ammonia and brandy, were administered. These, however, only alle¬ viated the suffering of the soldier, who gradu¬ ally sank away until death was touched at 2:35 p. nt., as stated. THB HOUR OF DEATH. In the words of Dr. Janeway, “the general went down, to the close of his life like a person descending a flight of stairs.” When death came three physicians and the hospital stew¬ ard only were present. Mrs. Hancock was then in the adjoining room. The general leaves his widow and three grandchildren, two girls and one boy, named Mara, Ada and Gwynne, the issue of the general’s son Kusseli, who died December 26, 1884, and whose loss the general has ever since mourned. Major- General Whipple will assume command of the department, supported president hy Lieutenant-Colonel Jackson, Hancock’s until the from shall appoint Gen¬ eral successor Generals Scho¬ field, Terry or Howard. The telegram announcing the dangerous ill¬ ness of Genera! Hancock was received by the president the about cabinet, 1 p. then m. Tuesday, and was read to in session. Jnst aft¬ er the oabinet adjourned, a second telegram a os received at the white house conveying the intelligence of his death. The president was informed and the flag on the white house was placed at half mast. The president soon after issued the following executive order : Executive Mansion, Washington, February 9, 1886, 4 o’clock p. m.— The tidings of the death of Winfield Soott Hancock, senior major general of the army of tho United States, has just been received.

The first serious struggle in which General Hancock engaged was that of Williamsburg, where be won distinction by his tact nnd per¬ sonal courage. By a feigned retreat he led the enemy in pursuit, and then turned on them with a furious musketry fire. It was here that lie gave his oft-quoted command. “We must give them the bayonet, gentlemen.” and it was here that the first colors captured by the army of the Potomac were taken General klcClellon personally thanked the regiments of Hancock’s brigade for their gallantry on this occasion. From this time on General Hancock fol¬ lowed the fortunes of the army of the Poto¬ mac under McClellan, Burnside, McClellan again, and then fighting Joe Hooker, steadily growing in prominence until, at the battle of Gettysburg, be loomed tip as one of the most conspicuous figures among those whose coolness and cour¬ age saved that great Union victory from tho disaster of Iteing a great Union defeat. Gen¬ eral Hancock was severely wounded in the thigh in this conflict. A musket ball passed through his saddle, bending a wrought and iron nail about it as it went, both hall nail penetrating General Hancock’s body, This wound was a source of seri- ous trouble to General Hancock during his campaign under General Grant, nnd during the battles of the Wilderness compelled him at one time to retire temporarily from com- mand. This was the only injury General Hancock received during the war, though he took part in the fiercest engagements of a l the sanguinary Virginia horse campaign. under At Ream's station he had a shot him.

SENATE ANO EXECUTIVE, IVKAKfiMNU OVER TH1K QUESTION OF OFFICIAL REMOVALS. Crsslutlona Introduced In Open MenuIe on Both Sides. Another step toward a public discussion of the controversy between the President and the Senate as to the respective rights of the executive aud legislative branches of the government in the matter of suspensions and removals of Federal officers was taken on the 2d, when Senator Riddleberger intro¬ duced tlie following rest...Lion in the Senate: Resolved, That it is the sonso of the Sennte that the Executive of tho United States is not moving restricted by constitutional law’ in tho re¬ Senate has or suspending right appointees; require that that no to reasons shall be given for such removals or suspen¬ sions; that it is tho right of the the Senate to call forauy paper relating to conduct of re¬ moved or suspended appointees, or to the qualification presented and fitness tho of all persons whose names aro to Senate for con¬ firmation or rejection, comply ami with it is the demands duty of the executive to all for the s«nie. Mr. Riddleberger briefly explained that his ob ject in offering the resolution was to bring about an open discussion of its subject. It did not, lie said, involve tho question of the so-called high prerogatives of the Senate, and had nothing to do with the subject of open or secret sessions. Be- fore Mr. Itiddleberger had finished his ex¬ planation Mr. Cockrell was on his feet ready to object to the present consideration of the resolution. Mr. Riddleberger re¬ marked that he hadn't the slightest objection to a little delay, and then Mr. Pugh an¬ nounced that he wanted to offer a substitute for the resolution, but was not then ready. Later in the day Mr. Pugh presented the fol¬ agreed lowing that series they of resolutions, and Nr. Riddleberger’* and it was proposition should be printed and laid qver: First—That the executive power is ex- press) President y vested by United the constitution in the of the States, so that he shall take care that tho laws be faithfully executed. Second—That the power of appointment to Federal office is an executive power, to be ex¬ ercised by the President under the limitation in the constitution that he shall nominate and by Senate and shall with appoint. the advice and consent of the Third—That the power of removal or sus¬ pension from the powers and duties of Fed¬ eral office is also an executive power vested exclusively in tho President without any such limitation in the constitution as is imposed thereby on the power of appointment, and for its exercise he is responsible alone to t he people, and not to the Henate. Fourth—That the right of the President to make nominations to the Senate and of the Senate to advise aud consent thereto are each separate and President independent and Senate rights to be exer¬ cised by separately the independently respectively ami ‘ and within their absolute discretion, but in relation to the person or persons so nominated the Senate may request information of the Presi¬ dent affecting the character or qualifications of those as to whoso appointment the he asks the ail vice and consent of Senate. Fifth—That when the President makes nominations to the Senate of persons to be appointed by him to exercise the powers and duties of Federal officers who have been re¬ moved or suspended by him no law, public duty, or public policy requires the that he shall send or communicate to Senate any cause, reason, or information within his own knowledge or contained in any IcR dressed ters, petitions, papers, member or documents ad¬ to him or any of h is cabinet, or in the possession of either, and relating to the subject of removals or suspensions, or containing thereof charges, for making' causes or reasons and • proofs suspensions, and law, public such duty removal' no or p .o- lic policy such requires information or authorizes the Senate t , call for existing in any s\ eh form from the President or any member of his cabinet, to enable the Senate to review or question the action of the President in exer¬ cising his executive, of removing discretionary, susiiencling or exclu¬ Fed¬ sive power or eral officers from the powers mid duties of their offices, or to put the President on trial by the Senate or to enforce accountability to the Senate for anything he may have done in the exercise of such jurisdiction.

In winter somo things grow quiokly, As I have found; It does not take long for the harvest Tooover the ground.

They giow on tho roofs, they grow on the trees, And the tallest steeple Holds a snow-lily aloft to show The little people. oh, is not winter a happy lime For young and old ? But the poor—they shiver at the snow-flowers: They are so cold! — Youth’s Companion. The Mmtto of Nllence. You have often heard “It takes two to make a quarrel.” Do you believe it? Ill tell you how one of my little friends managed. Dolly never came to see Marjorie without a quar¬ rel. Marjorie tried to speak gently, but no matter how hard she tried, Dolly finally made her so angry that she would soon speak sharp words, too. “Oh, what shall I do? - ’ cried poor little Marjorie. “Suppose you try this plan,” said her mother. “The next time Dolly comes in, seat yourself in front of the Ur. and take the lungs In hand. Whenever a sharp word comes from Dolly, gently snap the tongs, without speaking a word.” Soon afterward in marched Dolly to see her little friend. It was not a quarter of an hour be¬ fore Dolly’s temper was ruffled and her voice was raised, and ns usual she began to find fault and : cold. Mar- j u ie llew to the hearth and seized the tongs, snapping them gently. Mote angry words from Dolly. Snap went the tongs. More still. Snap! “Why don’t you speak?” screamed Dolly in a fury. Snap went the tongs. "Speak!” said she. As snap was the only answer, Dolly cried out: “I’ll never, never come again, never!” Away she went. Did she keep her promise? No, indeed! She came the next day, but seeing Marjorie run for the tongs, she solemnly said if she would only let them aione they would quarrel no more for ever and ever.— Illustrated Christian Weekly. it he Advent (ire of a IHouseu A mother-mouse, when her children had nearly reached the age when it became time for them to seek their own fortunes in the world, cautioned them particularly against the traps and dangers that would lie in their paths. “My children,” said she, “the cheese looks very tempting, and is even sometimes toasted, but beware of it; for it will bring misfortune to you.” One time the whole family of young¬ er mice came upon a trap. “This, I suppose,” said (he eldest nnd wisest, “is the trap against which our mother so carefully w’arned us. And yet,” continued lie, “the cheese looks very tempting. I doubt extremely if there be any real danger in it. And evep if there be, I think that, by a proper amount of self-control and wariness, one might avoid all ill consequences. Because some have been caught, it does not necessarily follow that a like fate must overtake all. At least I shall inspect the trap to satisfy my¬ self whether there is really as much danger in it as our mother said. You know, she is apt to be over-cautious very often.” And with :his remark, in spite of the urgent warnings of his brothers, the over-wise mouse deliber¬ ately entered the trap. “I cannot see,” said he, when he was within, “that there is any real dan¬ ger, aDd it is very pleasant here. One need not eat of the cheese, you know.” But even as he spoke the delicious smell of the cheese overcame his cuu- tion; he concluded there could be no danger in taking the smallest nibble. No sooner, however, had he touched the tempting morsel, than the trap fell and he was a prisoner. “Alas!” said he to his weeping mother, who had hastened to the trap upon learning the fate of her son, “I now discover, when it is too late to repent, that the experience of age is safer than the presumptuous wisdom of youth. — St. Nicholas.

Hammond. “Tho chief object of underclothing is the re¬ tention of the natural heat of tho body ii such a way that low temperatures and sudden changes will not affect tho surface. Several years ago I perform¬ ed some experiments which went, to show beyond any doubt that silk is below wool in its power to prevent tho loss of heat from the body, and very little superior to cotton. Indeed, nothing is in this respect, preferable to wool, and of this material all under¬ clothing meant for winter use should be made. In summer a mixture of wool and cotton, called merino, may bo worn, but even in very hot weather Rilk is not desirable, for it is not such a ready absorber of the perspiration as wool, and allows the body to be kept in a state not very remote from t“at kuown as parboiled. Wool, however, taking up, as it does, the moisturo from the body, exposes it to the atmos¬ phere. or is evaporated, and, tho pro¬ cess being a cooling one, keeps ths skin from being overheated. No un¬ derclothing should ever be so thick ns to prevent free ptusago of the cuta¬ neous excretions *nd the atmospheric air. The skin requires ventilation as do the lungs.
