"In this country, where distinction is won by individual worth rather than by wealth or birth. it is rather a striking fact that in all legislative history only five instances occur where the honor of a. seat in the United States Senate has descended 1n the same family from gen- eration to generation,” said Attorney— General Stockton, of New Jersey, some time ago, speaking of the death of the late Senator Colquitt, of Georgia. Following up the suggestion in these words, many facts were brought to light not generally known, but interesting, nevertheless, to an explorer of the by- 1 paths of history. The families thus ‘ honored by their fellow citizens are the 'This other 151111111”), or who graduated , with distinction twin 2. cele orated East Bayards, of Delaware; the Camerons, of Pennsylvania; the Colouitts of Georgia, and the Frelinghuysens and Stocktons, of New Jersey.

" Your heart!”— scornfully —-“why should I speak of what you do not possess?" "True,” she echoed, leaning toward him; “long ago, ere I had grown so worldly wise, or learned to guard and fence, to weigh and ponder—I gave my heart away! ‘Gave it away to one who valued the gift so lightly that he scarce- ly realized it was his. And are you so lost to chivalry that you would mock me for my poverty?” “Margaret!” he exclaimed. “I, who look at sentiment from a psychological point of view—who care only for the surface pleasures of a so- ciety woman’s existence—who see the ridiculous side of life and not its pathos -—have all these years fed my fancy on a dream.” .

Should the historian undertake to sketch the careers of these fifteen men, he would be compelled to discuss almost the entirel' 1istory of the Government, for, including the time they served as 'members of the House of Representa- tives, there are only eighteen years in the history of the country when the name of some one of them does not-ap- pear on the National legislative rolls, and in almost all of these years their representatives were serving country or State in other high offices of trust. The aggregate of their Congressional careers. including Richard Stockton’s Conti- nental services, is 159 years. Sixty of these belong to the Bayards, 40 to the Camerons, ‘20 each to the Colquitts and Stocktons and 19 to the Frelinghuysens. IN MEMORY OF HIS WIFE _VVhy Prof. Blackie Always Wore His Plaid About Edinburgh. Prof. Blackie frequently stayed at my house when lecturing in Glasgow. He was always at his best when one had him alone. One night when we were sitting up together he said in his brusque way: - “Whatever other faults I have, I am free from vanity.” An incredulous smile on my face roused him. “You don’t believe that; give me an instance.” Being thus challenged, I said: “Why do you walk about flourishing a. plaid continually?” “I’ll give you a history of that, sir. When I was a. poor man, and when my wife and I had our difficulties, she one day drew my attention to the thread- bare character of my surtout and asked me to order a new one. I told her I could not afford it just then; when she went, like a noble woman, and put her own plaid shawl on my shoulders, and I have worn a plaid ever since in memory . of her loving deed.”—Gopd Words. ”vilifi- Nfl’il' ' 111,111,111 universes" 111111 1:32,}; 1151’s!"
