CONCERNING CONFUCIUS.
Confucius was a groat man and the leading humorist of his day. He published a small paper at one time, doing all tho typographical work himself with a marking brush. His signature was a marvel of individuality and looked like the footdrints of a kangaroo that had been scared out of a mudhole and lit on a pillow-sham, But death has claimed him. Like the man who had done his chores and ejected tho cat and blown out the gas, he lay down to enter into the dreamless sleep which conies alone to those who have done their work well, Not in the midst of clashing arms, beneath the clouds of of war, amid the shouts of victory and fiantic yolls of defeat; not on the rough frontier with his boots on, nor in the hospital chased by the phantoms of delirium tremens, but in a calm and dis passionate manner, Confucius accepted his doom, The Chinese papers very truthfully say j—" His death has cast a gloom over our land and filled a long felt want."—Chicago News.
