11 pains us described came upon him he thoiisjht death was near, and this gave rise to :iu unusual anxiety in regard tolhe piesenee of bis wife at the bedside. He did not want her to leave for a moment, but a f.-w iiiimiU's before the end she was called (o Ihc pAilol- by visitors, among (Item being W. II. Lomit.-.ter. who wished to see the Viee I'rtsideut. Shrtly after, Mrs. Jones, wife of I'oslnur-tor Jones, came iu.

AIkiM half past 3 o'clock, the Vice President's pains having returned with iuci eased seventy, word was again s -nt for the immediate presence of Dr. Thompson. This was at 4 o'clock, or a very few minuies after. Hurrying as fast as possible the Doelor reached the house only to learn
that Air. Uciidii -ks had died a few minutes bt fore, the time being, as near as could be aseertuiuej, between a quarter and a half hour past i o'clock. "V ben I approached (he bed.'! sttid the Doctor, "I doubted that he was dead. 1 le looked very : ouch as he did iu life, and this, with (he f :iet that at no t; ne during his day's illness I had any aiilirehension of danger, led ilo to buliove
him still ulive, but taking his hand, the dread truth was told. He died of paralysis of tho braiu, with n slight complication of heart affection fiom the same cause." About 2 o'clock Harry Morgan, coming to the bedside of his uncle, after having been on a brief visit of businoss to places neaT by, noticed the bod-cloihiug exposing the breast of Mr. Hendricks. Fearful that the cupping operation of the morning would cause him, thus exposed; to take cold, the patieut- at the lime complaining of cbiliness, Sir. Morgan pulled the covering into position, saying: "Are you tryinar to b sick?" "Ah. Harrv," said tho Vice President, "it is only the badness coming out of me." ' Yes, old Satan has his hold upou you." "But. Horn', I'm too sick to laugh."
A half -hour later Mr. Morgan went down

him. "What is this about Mr. Hendricks? I
hear he is dead." This was about twenty, fivo minutes nfler 4 o'clock, and Mi. Mor

Thomas Andrew Hendricks was born September 9, 1319, near Zaoesrille, Musk
ingum County, Ohio. When he was 0 months old his father, John Hendricks, and
family removed to Madison, Indiana. As early 'as 1822 he again removed to Shelbyville. ihe connlv-seat of Sheiby County.
His childhood and youth were passed under
the hippiest auspices. In company witn his brothers and sisters he attended the village school, and afterward a crude acadeinv established bv a man some miles away
towards Greensburg. In time he attended colleue at Hanover, where he graduated in
1841. He then boean the study of ln; at

Eliza C. Morcan. the eranddauGhter of
Dr. Stephen Wood, u prominent citizen and early settler of Hamilton County, Ohio. Gov. and Mrs. Hendricks had but one child, a son, who was bom in 1818, and lived to bo 3 years of 0e. In 1W8 -he was elected to the Legislature, and declined a reuomiuation at the end of his term.
In 1850 he was chosen without any opposition Senatorial delegate lo the convention empowered to amend the Stale' Constitution. Together with Congressman Holmau and Gen. A. P. Hovey and Schuyler Colfax ho was among iho younger members of that bodv, but, like them, he took an
active and prominent part m the proceed- , ings. In 1851 he was elected to Congress from tUe Indianapolis District. He was re-elected iu 1852, but defealed in 1851. In 1855 he was appointed Commissioner of the General Laud Office by President Pierce. This mark of Executive favor was entirely unexpected. The term of four years in tho Land Offico was followed by an unsuccessful race for Governor in ' 18fi0, when he was defeated bv Henry S. Lane. Two years later in 18G2 Gov. Hendricks took an active part in iho political contest which resulted iu the election of a Democratic majority in tho Legislature. As a recognition of his important services he was chosen United States Senator by the unanimous vote of
his parly. During tho, period of his time in the Senate the Democrats were in a small minority and he was compelled to take an active and prominent part in the proceedings of that body. He was opposed to conscription, and favored the enlistment of volunteers, and tho payment of soldiers' bounties. At the close of the War he held that the States engaged in the Bebellion had at no time been out of the Union, and were, therefore, entitled to full representation in Congress. He also opposed the constitutional amendments, because the Southern States were not represented, and because, in bis opinion, such amendments should not be made until sectional passions bnd time to subside. His term in the Sen-
at.' expired March 4, 1889, when he returned
to the practice 01 law. in ihiui he had removed to Indianapolis.

The annual report of the Commissioner
Of Internal Revenue shows'that the total re
ceipts from internal -revenue taxation fox the fiscal year ended June 30, 1885, wem 8112,421,121, ol compared with $122,510.039 for the previous year. It Was estimated that tho receipts for the last fiscal year would be about $115,000,000, and that fliey fell over 2,000,000 short of tlie estimate, resulting from the seven months' extension allowed for the exportation of distfllad spirits in bond en which the tax was doeThere are now about 7,000,000 gallons of distilled spirits abroad, which to And a market will have to be reimport sd. This, with more than 10.000,000 gallons that h4 on Jttne 30 last been in bond for three years or longer under the seven months' exteasion, afforded ample margin- for assuming that the receipts for the cuwent fiscal year would aggregate at least $H5,uOGi,000 A table giving the receipts during the last two fiscal vears shows that there was m decrease ot S9.394.117 in collections on spirits and an increase of ..$344,688 on tobacco, an increase of $145,827 on fermented liquors, and an increase of $27,558 from banks and bankers. The total decrease was $9,168,919. The largest collections were made in Dlinois, amo anting to $23,075,865; Kentucky was seeon'c, with $14,812,475; New-York third, with $11,823,645; Ohio fourth, with $12,565,516; Pennsylvania fifth, with $7,371,209; Missoart sixth, with 7,276,165; and Indiaia seventh, with $4,031,866. The smallest collection was made in Vermont, ameaniing to 529,890. The total receipts tor the first quarter of the present fiscal year were $20,670,740, being an increase of $23,866 over tie collections during the corresponding period of the previous fiscal year. The cost of collection for the present fiscal year waa $4,455,130, against $5,076,914 for the previous fiscal year. The total expenses of the service during the past year were about 3-9 of 1 per cent of the amount collected. Twenty-four violations of tie Internal revenue law have been reported by rerenao agents during the year; 234 persons have been arrested on their information; property to the value of f 171,052 has been reported for seizure, and $52,869 iter assessment for unpaid taxes and penalties. The Commissioner recommends an increase in the number of revenue agents. The report of the tobacco industry for the last fiscal year shows gratifying resaUa. Hot only has there been, a small incise Be in the amount of taxes collected, but there ha been a marked increase of manufactured products, and an unusually large increase of the quantity of these products exported
to f oreign countries. The number of grain distilleries registered during the year Was 1,195, of which only 918 were operated. The Commissioner invites special attention to the necessitjr of legislation having for its object the taxing of all fractions of a barrel of distilled spirits, and says that the operation of the present system of taxation has resulted in the loss of a very appreciable amount of revenue. He adds that the plan has been adopted at several large distilleries of substunting packages of ten gallons capacity and upward in place of the spirit battel of ordinary size, for the sole purpose, apparently, of obtaining the benefit of the untaxed fraction as frequently as possible. The Commissioner also- recommends1 that the provisions of the law under which gape brandy products ore permitted three year storage in special bonded warehouses be made applicable to distillers of brandy from all fruits. ! , ' Tho quantity of distilled spirits to tfc United States, except what maybe in entonw bonded warehouses on Octoberl, 1886. was 90,107,026 gallons, sad fl average 8 took of each retail liquor dealer in thelJulted States is estimated at 150 gallons.
