JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL.
uIames Russell Lowell descended from
an English family which settled in New
England in the year 1639. His grandfather
was made a judge by Washington after
having assisted in framing the constitu
tion of Massachusetts in 1780, moved the
insertion in the bill of rights of that statr
of the clause that “all men are born free i
' offer of partnership
and equal,” and earned great eminence a:
a lawyer. The family of the Lowells gave
its name to the city. of Lowell, and has
given merchants, manufacturers, authors,
preachers, lawyers, scholars, philanthro
pists and statesmen to the Bay State.
James Russell Lowell’s Career.
Mr. Lowell was born at Cambridge
Mass, on the 22d of February, 1819. \Vher
nineteen years of age he graduated iron:
Harvard university, and delivered his fa-
glOriOi‘i's “Commemoration Ode,” in 1865'“
the “Second Series of Biglow Papersk ”311
1867, and “Under theIWillovI'Is,” in 1869'.
Still other volumes of verse appeared in
these rich years. also the two memorable
volumes of literary essays, “Amen My
Books,” and various other prose papers of
importance.
Hayes United States minister to Spain,
and was .thus suddenly transferredfrom
his life among his books to a position of
high political importance. He captured
Madrid, as he was destined a little later to:
after three years in Spain; to "the court or
St. James.
Highly Honored In London.
abrilliant and capable man of affairs
whom the English court welcomed and
honored, and of a. man of letters whom
own high kindred. But in London, in the
midst of his shining success there, sorrow
once more assailed him; the second Mrs.
Lowell died there in 1885.
Among the literary honors conferred on
America’s great poet during his. London
residence were an invitation,» which he nor
cepted, to deliver an addresss on the un-
veiling of Coleridge’s bust in Westminster
abbey and his appointment as rector of
the University of St. Andrew’s. His po«
litical life :was confined-”to ' these six
years—three at Madrid and three at Lon-
' don—and since 1885 he divided his time be-
tween his home life in America and long
visits to that London where he was so
eagerly welcomed.
His latest volume of poems, “Heartsease
and Rue,” was 'published' in 1888.
EDITOR GEORGE JONES DEAD.
The Venerable Proprietor of the New
York Times Curried Off.
POLAND SPRINGS, Me., Aug. 13.—Mr.
George Jones, of the New York Times,
who has been ill with dysentery for some
time, died at 4 o’clock Wednesday. Gil-
bert E. Jones was with his father when ‘he
_ died.
George Jones was born seventy-nine
years ago at Poultney, Vt., where his
father had settled on coming to America
from Wales. It was in this village that
Mr. Jones met Horace 'Greeley, and the
two boys formed a friendship that lasted
nearly half a century. They were em-
ployed together in a country store and on
a newspaper, the Vermont Spectator, both
owned by Amos Bliss.
Young Jones went to New York' in 1833,
and again met Greeley, but declined an
in The Tribune.
Later Mr. Jones went into the new:
agency business at Albany, and in 1851 he
started the New York Times, in association
with Raymond and Wesley, and in 1869,
on Raymond’s death, he became sole pro-
mous class poem the year following. After i
the close of his collegiate corirse-he. began
the study of law at the university and was
admitted to the bar' in 1840, one year aftet
his graduation.
In 1841 he published his first volume 0!
poems. It was entitled “A Year’ 5 Life. "
He had_ fallen in love with Miss Maris
White (herself a woman of genuine poetit
gifts), and he laid this first volume, 113.:
love offering, at her feet. There were sev'
enty poems in this volume. In 1844 he war
married to Maria White, and that same -
year he published his second book 0]
"Poems,” which contained, among other
things, the “Legend of Brittany,” pro
nounced by Edgar Pee “the noblest poeu
. yet written by an American. ” ..
The Famous “Big'lo'w Papers."
Mrs. Lowell was devotedly and passion-
ately an abolitionist, and Mr. Loweli '
himself became more zealously an aboli
tionist after his marriage than before, but
he was quick to assail whatever derogated
from his country’s honor, and he fought
against political corruption as eagerly as
against slavery. He and h is wife wert
regular contributors to The Liberty Bell
and his name appeared' in The Anti-Slaverj
Standard as its corresponding editor.
From 1843 to 1846 most of his poems werg,
published in that paper. Later on he be
gun to write for the Boston Courier, and it
was in The Courier that the first series oi
the “Biglow Pape1s” were published, be
' ginning in 1846 and ending in 1848. Th1
satire still holds its; place as a literary
masterpiece. In the main, its wit was di-
rected against slavery and the conduct at
the Mexican war; but there were few
sham's that it did not somewhere attack
At last the jeered at abolitionists had
found a. champion who was at once a wit
a. poet and a scholar.
In 1843 Lowell had undertaken to edit
with the assistance of Robert Cartel, Th1
Pioneer, a literary and critical magazine
He secured such contributors as Poe, Eliza
beth Barrett (Mrs. Browning), HaWthorne
Neal, Jones Very, Parsons Whittier and
W. W. Story. Not all these geniuses
however, were able to prolong The Pie
neer’ s brief existence, but in it Lowell had
egun a series of essays on poets and
§ramatists which afterwards made up his
rst book of prose, entitled, “Converse.
tions on Some of the Old Poets,“ which
was published in 1845. ‘ This was the first
volume of those literary criticisms which
dserve to to be reckoned, and must be by
1 who read them, among the memorable
peasures of life.
Longfellow’ s Successor.
In 1848 came the publication of three
separate books—a volume of “Poems,"
“The Biglow Papers” and “A Fable for
Critics.” In 1850 “Poetical Works, ” iii
two volumes, and in 1854 another two vol
umes of “Poems” and the charming “Lifi
Of Keats,” which then prefaced an edition
of Keats’. poems, and is now included in
the first of the six prese volumes of “The
Riverside Edition.” In 1853 his Wife—who
had been so intimately the companion 0:
his mind, as well- as of his heart—died
and he learned those deepest lessons that
sorrow only can teach.
In J anuaryJ 1 , he was appointed
Longfellow s successor at Harvard as pro:
fessOr of modern languages and .beller ,
lettres. He went abroad to study fer tWa‘
years, made himself master. of variour
foreign literatures and then returned to
._.assnme the duties of his proféssOrship. II.
863 he became joint editor with Professor
harlés Eliot Norton of The North Ameri- -
‘Lcan Review, which position he continued
hold till 1872. He was also the first ed
or of The Atlantic Monthly, founded in
857. It was in The Atlantic that the sec

His Diplomatic Career.
In 1857 Mr. Lowell married his seconc
wife, Miss Frances Dunlap, of Portland
2-, and again he was happy" in the com
1p ionship of a gifted, and most Charming.-
woman, whose tastes Were thor'oii'gh-ly con '
’genial with his own.

prie'tor.
The Tweed Ring Exposure.
One of the most noteworthy incidents in
Mr. Jones’ career was his_ bringing about,
through his newspaper, the exposure 01
the corrupt Tweed ring. As a result the
riug was broken up, Tweed was sent to
prison and his principal asSociates fled
from the country.
Another incident in Mr. Jones’ career
was his resolve never to support James G.
Blaine for the presidency. The investiga-
tion of the Little Rock and Fort Smith
matter took place while the Cincinnati
conventidn of 1876 was in session. The ed-
itors of the New York Times (Mr. J ones),
of the Chicago Tribune, of the Cincinnati
YG'afl'z'ettc and of the Cincinnati Commer-
cial had a convemm of their own at Cin-
cinnati, where they passed a resolution by
unanimous vete that they would n’ot sup
port Blaine for the presidency even it
nominated. This determination, which
scon became noised about «the streets,
had considerable influence in preventing
Blaine’s nomination at that time.
When Mr. Blaine was nominated, eight
years later, Mr. Jones was the only one of
the four who stuck to his text. His news
paper, .The Times, had been lOyally Re
publican up to that time. Mr. Jones ad-
hered to his first intention, but at consid-
ernble cost to himself. This, hoWever, he‘
anticipated and counted upon. No jour
nalist ever' made, a more deliberate pe-
cuniary sacrifice for the sake of principle.
GEORGE J ONE 8.
In 1876 Mr. Jones on the day after the»
presidential election, was the only New
York editor who insisted that Rutherford
‘ B. Hays had been elected. '
His Break With Greeley-
Mr. Jones know well the journalistic
figuresof the past, and many public men
.He remained on friendly terms with
James Gordon Bennett the elder, founder
of The Herald, and his intimate friendship
with Greeley continued unimpaired until
shortly after the death of Raymond, when
a bitter attack was made by The Tribuno
The relations between
Jones and Greeley were never completely
ruptured, however, until the latter be
came the Democratic candidate for the
presidency.
bAmong the public enterprises promoted
Mr. Jones was the raising of the $250,
, fund for General Grant a few years
' after the latter’s retirement from the pres
.idency. For several months he devoted
‘ himself unremittingly to this objeCt.
He was also a trustee of the New York
riot relief fund, which originated in 1861
for the benefit of the families of the police
'men who had been killed or injured' in the
famous draft riots of that year. He was a
tmember of. the Union League club. and a
'rcgular attendant at All Souls’ Protestant
Episcopal church, of which the Rev. Dr. R
Heber Newton is rector, and was one oi
Dr. Newton’s stanchest friends and sup
:porters.
He married in 1836 Miss Gilbert, of Troy;

’The' latter are, Gilbert E. Jones, Mi-s E‘

fourteen years. ,On the first _ floor, in the
best room, there was hardly room enough,
for one to move about, for the immense

effects.
Back in the kitchen there stood a small
cook stove, which had been .in- use for.
several years. Around the walls 'werc

Tons of Silverware.
' Up in the second floor it was a queei
sight. In each room was a bedstead,.and
under each mattress was a large, heavy and
most beautiful Brussels carpet. Upon the
mattresses bedclothing and female under-
clothing was packed to the ceiling. With-
out the least doubt there was not less than
half a ton of female underclothing un-
touched from the day it was bought.
The room adjoining was also packed in
the same way. Only in the north corner
stood two large dry goods cases filled with
solid silverware,'which had also been un-
touched. The third story was packed
more or less with an innumerable number
of old French relics and rubbish. A trunk
full of very handsome and valuable satins,
silks and laces was found. These goods
were of the English pattern, long out of
existence.
There is a good sized freight our full 01
