New York diocese : guardian of old Graces whose income, ft was estimated, was greater than that of any man in the cloth and whose power in society was even more feared : than that of any bishop. He received his appointment as sex ton from the Rev. Dr. Thomas House Taylor, and, while Dr. Taylor has been long forgotten, Sexton Brown is still almost as much remembered in the great city as Jim Fisk, A. T. Stewart or Charles Delmonico. * Brown would cultivate the acquaint ance of head waiters and cooks, secur ing the latest information as to the social plans of their masters and mis tresses,, and whenever he learned that a party or a ball was under considera tion he would offer his services to de liver the invitations or look after the comfort of the guests or superintend their arrival and departure in their carriages. Beginning in this humble way, it was not long before he gained the good will of distinguished patrons. His authoritative manner, too, was w admirable'for such occasions. Indeed the host himself could, hardly issue a command to his menials with the suavely peremptory emphasis which Brown employed. Such was his de portment and such his trustworthy seal that It was. said that no one in Grace church could be properly feasted - or burled or could even say his prayers without the assistance of Brown, and eventually it became something like a dictum in a large portion of society that nobody could be married in New York in truly first class style unless Brown's presence blessed the bridal party. Nor did any detail that might be wanting for the personal comfort of the congregation escape his vigilant eye. It was a habit of old Peter Stuy- vesant, fpr example, to keep in his pew a thermometer. As soon as he had tak en his seat he would consult it. One winter morning when the temperature was extremely low the furnaces of the church got out of order, and Brown’s assistants were able to force through them only enough heat to lessen the chill a little. It occurred to Brown that the condition of the atmosphere would not be conducive to either the piety or the comfort of the aged Stnyvesant When the old gentleman arrived with in the porch of the church, he was shivering with the cold, but without attracting his attention Brown, who knew that the first .thing he would do would bes, to’ step into his pew and ex amine the thermometer, slipped in ahead, pressed one of his fat fingers to the little glass bulb and chuckled as he saw Jhe mercury ascend to 72. When Stuyvesant reached the pew, he con sulted the thermometer as usual, look ed around wonderingly, but evidently concluded that the church must be warm enough and that therefore it must be himself who was- cold. Brown's funeral was marked by much of the pomp and circumstance which he himself had so often provided for the rich and the great. The wits said that it was the first in forty years that had been a perfectly correct per formance without his Individual guid ance. He bad died in the little town of Brandford one August night in V&O. There he bad been in the habit of tak ing his summer rest. He had been overcome by the heat while attending a wedding at Brandford. and that sum mer he complained, probably for the first time in his life, of 111 health. One of his orders was that his body should * be placed in a casket of polished Span ish cedar. — A more ponderous casket had never been carried up the aisle of Grace " church. It was rich with silver and velvet. It was so heavy—its interior bring large enough for two t ordinary corpses—that the eight Knigkts Tem plars who bore it into the church al most staggered with their burden. TJpon It lay their cocked hats with wav ing ostrich plumes, Within the chancel stood four of the clergy, in the pews . were the representatlves of somegof the proudest families of the city, and a long line of men and women filed into the church showing all the signs of sor row for an old friend and neighbor.

Lord Dufferin when viceroy of Cana da, paid a visit to. Washington while General Grant was president. He cas ually asked the president whether he had ever been in Canada. The reply was a striking example of General Grant’s brusque outspoken ness, “No; I have never set foot on Ca nadian soil, but I have approached near enough to its shores in a steam boat to see the grass growing in the streets of the Canadian towns." V Lord Dufferin saw that General Grant shared with many of his coun trymen at that time a common misap prehension in regard to the resources and destinies of Canada. — London Seven Years in Bed. •‘Will wonders ever cease?” inquire the friends of Mrs. L- Pease, of Law rence, Kan.
