DEATH OF A. P. LUSE.

THE GRAWK jRD^VuXE WEEKLY' iiEVIEW.

One of the Country's Oldest and Best-Known Type-Founders Dies at Los Angeles. Chicago Herald Jan. 18th.

Word was received last night of the death at Los Augeles, CaL, yesterday morning of A. P. L-ise, the type-founder. A. P. Luse was one of the best known and most popular men in his line of business in theiUnited States. For the past twenty-two years he had resided in Chicago, aud since his arrival here has been one of the lirm of Marder, Luse A- Co., 139 Monroe street, of which he was vice president. Mr. Luse was born iu Indianapolis in 1831. At the age of 21 ho entered Wabash college at Crawfordsville, Ind., remaining there three years. Returning to his native town he determined to go into the newspaper business, but he was prevented from carrying out his wishes and he resolved to learn the trade of a printer. While working at the case lie was noted for industry and sobriety. His tastes were refined aud lie devoted all his spare time to literature. In 1855 he went to Davenpo.t, Iowa, and after a few years of hard work he saved enough to enable hitn to purchase au interest iu a wholesale stationery estaidishmeut which soon becune widely known under the name of Luse, Lane Jk Co. To this firm succeeded that of Luse & (ireggs. For fouiteen years Mr. Luse rmitinuedjn business iu Davenport, at the end of which time he had accumulated considerable money. On June 1, 1869,the enterprising young business man arrived iu Chicago, having sold out his interest in Davenpoit and three days after bis advent he organized the typefoundry firm with which he remained connected up to the time of his death. For the past eight or ten years Mr. Luse lias been in indifferent health and in 188!5 he ceased to actively participate in business. In 1884 he went to Crawfordsville, the scene of his college days. He remained there but one year when his wife died. He then returned iu 1889 to Chicago to his residence at 4829 Kimbark avenue where lie lived with his adopted daughter until the first of last month. At this time his health was precarious aud his physician advised a change to a milder climate. Accompanied by his adopted daughter he left Chicago on Dec. 8, reaching

Los Angeles on the 10th. Mr. Luse had no relatives in this city, and his remains will be intered at Crawfordsville, Ind., the latter part of next week. Up to the last Mr. Luse preserved his taste for study and literary research and when absent from business was always sure to be found in his library. He was an exceptionally cultured man, and had visited Europe five times within the past twelve years.

Murder at Lebanon.

Sunday morning at the county poor farm at Lebanon about 0:30 o'clock, an inoffensive old charge, George Wharhurton, was brutally beaten to death by Sam Beecham, a negro, who has been known as Sam Curtis during his stay at the institution. Beecham confesses to Sheriff Miller that the ownership of a chair was in dispute between him and A'barburton. and that he went to the old man's room this morning, and after a few words he took from him his cane and struck him three times over the head. Wharburton'sskull was fractured in two places and bodied within half an hour, Beecham made an attack on Sheriff Miller when he was arrested, characteristic of his vicious nature, which lias been manifested on several occasions, but was overpowered and lodged in jail. Wliarburton was 70 years old and badly crippled. He was once a well-to-do farmer of Boone county, but was reduced to poverty by adversity and atlliction. Ho has three or four children liviug in the county. Beeclieiu is 45 years of age and claims that he is from Zionville.

A Strange Case-

The Richmond Telegraph tells an odd story to the elTect that Mr. and Mrs. Frank Heiins, of Williamsburg own their own home aud their married life has been agreeable, save that no children bless the union. Mr. and Mrs. Smith, of Carlos City, have four children and own a small farm. The Heiins and Smiths are intimate friends. Mrs. Smith grieved because she was eucumbered witli the care of a family, while Mrs. Heims was saddened because she was not called "mamma," and finally an agreement was reached, by which Mr. Heiins was to take Mrs. Smith aud the town property. The parties thereupon waited upou 'Squire Rush, of Carlos City,with a request that he divorce aud remarry them according to this previously expressed arrangemeut. The 'Squire consulted his books and finally ruled that the case wasbeyoud his jurisdiction. This brought the matter to the attention of the church, and an investigation was ordered, although it is conceded that no wroig was contemplated by either party.

He sold a lady in the fourth ward a guitar for $45, and got the money, tint never delivered the instrument. He also borrowed money which ho never repaid. He was arrested on the guitar swindle for breach of contract, but escaped with a few days in jail. The lady referred to wrote t« Francis' father at Crawfordsville but he declined to interfere, saymg he was tired of helping the young man out of scrapes. He will have an opportunity in trying the Northern Indiana prison as a change.—Lafayette Cali.

THE INCREASE OF FLATTERY.

The Boomerang Klcment In Latter Day Personalities of Society. Preoccupation with personality is certainly sin American—possibly more or less a generally modern—trait but our present orgy of compliment is, I think, a new variant of it. And it cannot bo that we are becoming Frenchified to the point of social insincerity for tho mere sake of moral perversity. 'Ae trnth probably is that as we progress in social civilization—or perhaps better, as social civilization spreads increasingly and penetrates our bewildering and encouraging succession of nourelies conches— the desire to make one's self .'igreeable, instead of merely important, is increasing proportionately.

Now, amenity as an art is a difficult one. To succeed in it demands either the "certain felicity" which Bacon affirmed to be necessary to the painter who would improve upon nature, or that long course of social civilization whereby tradition secures the sinking of effort in unconsciousness, and the substitution of inherited for acquired capacities. In the absence of either of these advantages it.is the shortest rather thau the wisest road to the end of being agreeable llint is pretty sure to le taken, and the grixs.so niodo pursuit of, as I said, the line of least resistance results in an amount and degree of personal flattery at the present moment which are altogether notable.

We have probably not yet wholly emancipated ourselves from the wish to be appreciated, as well as to be agreeable. On the contrary, when we praise our frieuds for their qualities or their performances in the blank and stark way sanctioned no doubt by onr unquestioned sincerity, but dictated perhaps by an imperfect taste, it is probable that with our motive of being agreeable is very subtly associated a desire to be deemed discerning. We act on the assumption—so tacit, to be sure, as to be unconscious—that the fact of our appreciation of them attests to iheiii acntenoss in us. Our well known and universally acknowledged genuineness— that heirloom inherited from the savages of the Elbe and Weser marshes—prevents onr perspicacity in the.se circumstances from being distrusted.—Scrib-

A Paris scientist has published the result of his researches on the subject of talking fishes. He says that every fish in some way or utlier talks to a fish of the same kind. Herrings cry like men, roach grunt like pigs, and tench make a noise like frogs. Conger eels bark and codfish hiss. Lobster and crayfish screen when they are boiled, ami Paris soles have a way of communicating tho fact of their stalenoss to dmers at restaurants. —London Tit-Hits.

Tarly I',.i!lrr:iling-.

When railroads were iirst introduced, the engineers, as call them—or the engine drivers, a.* '•••. .r .1 iu England—ran their trains almost as they liked, making i:p lime when they had fallen behind, picking v.p such inl'orina1 tion as they could as to the state of the track ahead of tlieiu. and for the most part plunging ahead with their machines without muc'.: more than a surmise whether they :iiicnld bring up at their destination or at the bottom of some high embankment.

Some of the results of this want of system would have been amusing if they had not been disastrous. Mr. Laurence Oliphant, an English traveler and author, tells in one of his books a rather grim story of a trip which he made by rail, in 1855, from Chicago to New York. Over a part of the distance the train made the extraordinary speed, for that time, of fifty miles an hour, and presently it ran off the track.

Fortunately, the cars were imbedded in 1 soft clay ditch, and no one was seriously hurt and in tho midst of the commotion, Mr. Oliphant says he heard the engineer thus admonish the switchman, whose carelessness had caused the accident: "Now, Tom, this is the third time you've forgot to set that switch, and the last time there was twenty people went under and the rest was bruised. So mind what you're about, and don't forget that switch again, for if you do I'll tell the boss!"

As She Is Spoke in India.

Native English in India still furnishes much amusement to the European traveler. When the governor of Madras lately made a tonr one admirer wrote to excuse his non-appearance at the railway station as he "had the pleasure of a scorpion in his left leg," but promised to "bring my invaluable lute to play before vour excellency as an indulgent son." A railway official lamented that a panther invaded his platform, but he "met the attack by shutting himself in his office and ringing the station bell," while another complained that his pointsmen had been lighting, as the aggressor "threw a stone at Ram Buksh, which t\ irtunately hit Ram Bnksli's wife." fie added that "unless both these men are scattered in different directions by opposing trains there will be murder aud suicide, including to myself." On visiting a local hospital the governor was presented with a petition against the surgeon in charge, who, said the complainants, "had a string loose over his subordinates, aud will never secure heaven. Quite the contrary will surely be his fate."—London Graphic..

Nut to lie Untight.

The results ol using big words in conversation with people who do not understand them are often laughable. In Boston there is a lady of literary aspirations who talks even with her servants in a sort of literary way. The other day an Irish servant girl employed in this bidy's house entered a neighboring grocer's shop and asked: "Do ye kape anny—anuy delnb—fvvhat in the worrld is it, annyiiow'r—anny deliberation. is it, now? Do ye sell anny of that?" "Any what?" exclaimed the grocer. "Anny deliberation, I say." "No, we don't." "More sthepity, thin. Sure, my misthre.ss told me to wash the cut glass dishes wid deliberation, and thin she wint aw.iy, andnivera dhrop af the shtoof can I foind in the house!"—Youth's Companion.

Tile "Still Christmas."

In the year 1525 the holiday time in England was known as the "still,Christmas," for owing to the illness of King Henry VIII the singing of caroln and the noisy hilarity jwculiar to Christmas were prohibited. Some who have lain sleepless through nights of horn blowing, the explosion of firecrackers, etc., especially at the south, where many of the old English holiday customs are still observed, may understand and appreciate the royal mandate for a "still Christmas." With this one exception, carols and other joyous musical exercises were used at Christmas all through the Tudor reigns.—Harper's Bazar.

The specific gravity of gold is l'J.50— that is. it weighs nineteen and a half times its much as its own bulk of water. The ductility and malleability of this metal are equaled by no other. By ductility is meant the property of allowing itself to be drawn out into a wire, and by malleability its property of flattening without splitting under the hammer.

Observations seem to shosv thaj a decrease in the earth's latitude is in progress, implying an alteration in the direction of I lie earth's axis. The fluctuation is thought to be due to a minute, oscillation cause*1 by some changes in the internal wars of the earth.

During the reign of George III his royal highness th Duke of York hail a duel with Col. Lennox, and the worthy colonel succeeded in shootmg away one of the duke's curls. Hence it became the correct thing to wear a curl on one aide of the temple only.
