Tho writer 1 formed tho ucqunintnuco of Mr. Huck a- i boo sevoral years ugo when hin (JOH, thc i gillied nial lamented Oharlos Hueknboc, was iu charge of Beauty Spot Academy. Thc son, omburking in a new entei piho, used froipiontly lo consult tho writer, he having had muoh ox pei io ncc as a podu eoguo, us io his proper course of actina.

Tho son, with a bright future before hitit, having fitted himself for tho liar while torching, died shortly after enter ing upon the duties of his profession, in Bonnctlsviilc Thc father was utterly prostrated by his death and never seemed right to mo afterwards. When wc would meei he used lo extend his hand, with great tears in his bud eves, aud say you are one nf thc best photo graphs loll nm of ('harlie. 1 loll pru lilied to photograph ibo character of such an estimadlo young man. My acquaintance with the deceased was dc* tined to have nuoll C" link of sad ness, for the last time we met was at 'he funeral of ibo doar wife of a valued fl ?end. On leaving the sacred place, ho h d, and indicntetl a nearer way to my homo, and, when I. was driving so short ly after to his burial, the reflection caine unhidden that bc might he now pointing in his departure thc way to nie to the realms of eternity, and. us I placed on his pravo nt tho conclusion o? thc services a oross of immortelles, euibh "Ulalie of the anchor of his faith willi becoming solemn ?ty, I could hut breathe a prayer that my soul in the future, anchored in tho same faith and secure in its existence, could Minde nt thc drawn dagger of death aud defy its point. After a most impressive prayer bv that loved and eloquent Minister, Kev. W. H. Kirton, the funeral sermon was delivered hy that venerable man of] God, Rev. ,NV. Iv.

After discussing thc question what is it to be rendy to die, the thought that then ran tiri ouch thc dis cussion was tho certainty that retribution would Q\ortnko the guilty. God's law will bc uphold. It protects thc righteous but must crush tho disobedient- lie swept away ibo sophisms hy which men persuade themselves that they cnn es cape the penalty of violated law, t.nd it scorned that we could almost hear the crash of tho tumbling wreck> of hones built on false foundation. God Almighty was visible on thc throne of His power armed with the seven thunders ol' His wrath. NV ho halli dolled Clod and es caped ? ll is folly to expect that Ile will abrogate His law to please tiny one-that Ho will tear down thc pillars of His moral govornmcut that you.tmiy be saved in your sins.

Ho stated that in a worldly point of view his crowning excellence was indus try-that corner stone of true greatness which gives to character that beautiful strength which is simulated by the rhod i dendron, an Alpine plant I hut grows fastest in tho Storni. NVe can't, for the want ol' space, report further than to slate that ho urged his hearers to remem ber at ull times they were dealing with God, and to ask only what would ploVs'a Him.

Tho Democratic parly of tho stato of Now York, Iii ooh volition nssomblcd, ro nmv8 tho pledges of ito ildolity to Domo eratic faith and reaffirms tho doctrine? of tho national platform of I88U, adopted at St. J/)uis. Wo hnvo not advocated and do not adv?calo freo Irado, but wo Steadfastly advocato tho principles of tariff reform, believing that ndhorenco to the right alono carries in itself tho < eli ai illy of triumph. Wo heartily in i luise tho honest lind fearless adminis tration of tho national government hy i i rover Cleveland. M AK S A C HU S KIT! i, Meeting for tho first limo slneo tho do feat of last your, wo declaro our con tinued and hearty support of tho causo of tariff reform for which we then con tended, and our linn conviction of its Success in tho near future. Wo realtlrni our demands for freo raw materials ami lower duties upon tho ne cessities of lifo. Wo believe that freo wool, ns provided for in tho bill passed by tho Democratic majority of tho last house ol' repr?sentatives, is essential to tho prosperity of ibo woolen industry, Upon which that of tho wool grower is dependent, while it will afford relief to all consumers of woolen goods. We call tho particular attention of tho farmers of this stato, who have borne tho heavy burden of high tariff taxation without any of the prosperity promised them, lo tho relief they will re?oive through tho reduction of customs taxes upon ar ticles which they uso or consume, onto. Tho Democracy of Ohio, in convention assembled, npprovo tho declaration of principles made by tho national Democ racy in St. Louis in 18S8, and especially that part of it demanding reduction 6/ t :i ri tr tuxes, and wo will continuo tho battle for tari IT reform until the causo of the peuple is triumphant. Wo regard trusts, in whatever form organized, as the legit?malo result of our j present tariff system; and wo demand tho repeal of all tariff taxes that enable thom to extort from tho pooplo tho ex orbitant prices for tho product's they con trol. IOWA. We renew our opposition to tl io uncoil* stitutionai and unjust policy of high tariff taxation, which robs the many to enrich tho fow; makes tho producer tho Binyo of llio manufacturer; lays its heav iest burdons on the farmer, the mechanic and the day laborer, whom it daily robs; gives no return through any channel and fosters trusts, which aro tho legitimate result of our present tariff Kystom, and wo denounce tho fallacy of thu Repub lican stale platform of Iowa, that a high ttirilf ia or eau be any protection to the farmer. ^Vl?y Tux Straw Huts? A fashionable lady bathing in tho sea at Long Branch or Newport has her fashionable bathing suit capped by a pe culiar looking straw hat. Tho wdde oaves of this hat are tied underneath hor chin, causing its foro and aft aspects to appear Uko two old scuttle bonnets placed back to back. From Maino to I Florida ihih.irhieu affect a eojilso straw ] tint 'bli wide, I urned dp brim, and . Keefil l?'tal.Ogroin < odo;I therein. Cut on )h(! great western farms' nun ol' td) I ?gbo, id '"'r' Wea the r, licein addicted t? wearing straw bats with walo brims turned down. Tho fashionable lady, the fisherman and tho farmer are all wear ing precisely the same kind of hat. Whore dp these hals eomo from? They aro so marvelously cheap that they al most scorn liku Topsy, "to have glowed." Tho grout majority of thom cost tho re tailer only thirty-live cents a doy.cn. It seems impossible that any man or ma chino could do co much plaiting for so little money. , These straw hats aro manufactured abroad in the Hist instance. They come from different countries, and have been accordingly divided by tho trade into four ?lusses. Italy gives us "Leghornn;" Spain sends us "Malagas;"South Ameri ca exports to us "Curacoas," and from China wo get "grass hats." Willi the exception, perhaps, of the China variety, theso bats aro all what is known as "by products." Even the easily contented peasants of sunny Italy could hardly afford to make it tho busi ness of their lives to furnish this coun try with straw hats at a remuneration of, at most, fifteen cents a dozen. But children need not bo very strong or very big lo wander about their homes during tho sum mor time and collect tho wold straw in small bundles. Then when tho long nights arrive, all the members ol tho family sit and pin it tho straw into braids and then stitch tho braids into shapeless hats. These hats aro quickly bought up by exporters. They aro then packed in bales, which are subjected to hydraulic pressure in order to diminish their bulk. When they beconio nothing more nor less than flat disks of straw by this treat ment they aro shipped to tho United Slates. . There is nothing like these straw hats bindo in this country; no grass or straw so .uitablo, no labor so little worth. Yet tho keen eye of Unelo Sam makes them j out us a special object from which tho inhabitants of his territory should be sternly protected by an ad valorem duty of 80 poi cent. In this way tho bloated surplus was increased in tho year 1887 by $180,811. Unce in this country, after the grasp ing surplus has had its pound of flesh, tho hats get on well ont ugh. Thero aro several large factories in Massachusetts which sha po them and blench or dyo tliohi, sometimes even ornament them with ribbons. Then they are sold to tho jobber, ofter profit bas been calculated oil not cost, plus 30 per cent. duty. Tho jobber calculates his profit on tho same basis. Tho 30 per cent, grows, Uko a rolling snowball, until it finally causes tho consumer to pay about doublo what Ino might if tho senseless tariff on theso cheap straw lints was abolished. Agriculture is oppressed by a great, burdensome, unfair war tax. Is that right? .Shall it continue ? What wry tho fanners ? Cnn it bo true, ns announced, that Iii the old Commonwealth of Virginia thero aro fifty Episcopal phurclics without pastors or rectors?
