In the year 1S32, when the State of Illinois was but fourteen years of ape, there was on the south bank of Rock River, sixty-five miles above Its mouth, a frontier post called Dixon's Ferry. John Dixon, from whom the ferry derived its name, lived there, entertaining travelers, operating the ferry, and trading with those who journeyed to and from the mining districts and the Indians. With \he Indians, writes Mr. Sterens in his account of the Black Hawk War, t, he was particularly popular, and became their counselor and arbitrator, and likewise their banker. He was equally well liked by the whites, and when the time came to bespeak their affection there was no uncertainty respecting the judgment. His influence became so great that (n the year 1840, when Galena was the political and commercial power of the Northwest, he took from that place to his own town the United States land-office. 1 When the subject of removal was first broached, it appeared so ridiculously impossible that there was no protest from Galena but laughter; but John Dixon's tavern was stronger than the politics and commercial prestige of the frontier metropolis. . ' Alone he journeyed to Washington, anc. upon his request, backed by no one, the office, which at tbat time was the most important national office in \ the State and that which carried the most political influence, was removed i to Dixon. Dixon's venerable personality, his charming sweetness of disposition, his. rugged honesty, and possibly his little account-book, were altogether too powerful for the antagonists of those rugged days. One entry in his accdunt-book ehK.-acteristic of the times is, "Col. Z. Taylor. To Mdse, including a shirt pattern, $6.50," and then follows its' liquidation: "Settled by note." The hero of more than one war and afterward President of the United States, it appears, settled an account of six dollars and fifty cents by giving his note of hand. But the oote was paid when it was due. General Winfield Scott also appears In this account-book, and the settlement of his accounts was performed with the precision one would expect from the-dignified soldier. Leaving Home. I would give a few words of encouragement to any young man who hesitates about leaving home. There is nothing in the world so good for a man, say, between twenty-five and thirty-five years of age, especially if unmarried, as a visit to distant countries, to learn other tongues, to see new sights, add to experience strange adventures, such as he may readily encounter by throwing aside the restrictions of home life and taking up work abroad.?Frederic Shelford, in The Fngineer. jewels 01 me .uumu.

He was three times nominated by the Democratic party for the highest office within the gift of the people and twice elected to that office. As the history of the country is written from I decade to decade and from century ! to century, he will be rated in history in comparison with his predeI cessors and his successors in that 1 high office. His rating will undoubtj edly be high. | Grover Cleveland was born March j 18, 1837, in the village of Caldwell, N. J., nine miles from Newark, in a house still standing, the parsonage of the First Presbyterian Church. His father, the Rev. Richard F. Cleveland, a graduate of Yale, was a Presbyterian minister of high character, a strong preacher, and fine scholar, whose forbears were Connecticut Yankees. His mother was ! Ann Neal, the daughter of an Irish ! bookseller and a German Quakeress, i The fifth of their nine children was j christened Stephen Grover, for the | minister who.had preceded the clergyI man in the Caldwell pastorate. J When Grover was four years old | the family moved to Fayetteville, i near Syracuse, N. Y., traveling by the i canal, and afterward to Clinton, N. I Y. In those places the boy got his ; schooling, and the tradition is that j he was in no wise remarkable at his i books. j In 1S53 the death of his father obliged him to earn his own living.

In 1870 he was elected Sheriff of Erie County, N. Y. It was in 1881 that he was elected to the office which established his first large reputation?the mayorship of Buffalo. In six months he had attracted such general attention that the Democrats gave him the nomination for governor. He was elected by an enormous majority over his Republican opponent, Charles J. Folger. At the Democratic national convention, July, 1884, he was the leading candidate on the first ballot, and on the. second ballot he secured the nomination. He was renominated but Harrison defeated him. During his first term, in 1886, he married Frances Folsom. In 1892 he ran for President again and was elected. After his retirement from public life Mr. Cleveland lived at Princeton, N. J. In 1905 ex-President Cleveland was appointed by Thomas F. Ryan one of the three trustees for the maioritv stock of the Eauitable Life Assurance Society which he held. The Cleveland household was often pictured, perhaps too intimately to please its master, as a beautiful American example of domestic content. The sporting qualities of the statesman and his love of sport did much to endear him to the average American. He was a sincere lover of nature and a sportsman?angler and hunter?of the capital sort. when without warning the locomotive boiler blew up. Just how the accident occurred is unknown. ". The body of Engineer Roberts was found on the track. The body of Fireman Holman was blown into a cornfield 300 yards to the rear of the engine. A strange feature of the accident was that Holman's overalls, which he wore at the time of the ac ciaent, were round nanging in tne telegraph wires thirty feet above the track. It is supposed that his body shot directly through the wires. Donnelly was blown down the Stelton Lane road, in what is known as the cut, near the bridge, a distance of 250 yards, All of the bodies were badly mangled. The locomotive which blew up is the same one that killed Mr. and Mrs. Isaac P. Dunn, two well known residents of Stelton, at the Stelton crossing as they were returning from services in the Baptist Church there two years ago. Woman to Die in the Electric Chair at Auburn.

Men high in public life who, through long association, had become firm friends of his, received the news almost with tears in their eyes, and their voices broke when they imparted the tidings to others. Men who had fought Cleveland bitterly on politiclal issues bowed their heads for a moment and then, straightening up with an effort, had something in praise to say of the former President.
