More About Tctcr Cooper, Ills Wife, and Presidential Aspirations Farlj Years. Passion Play Troobles-Hotlierlni; Old Bar-nom-SolcIda and th LawThe Karwlcb Lots Case iSew York Lettcr.l New York'a best benefactor, plain, gener0U8, large-souled old Peter Cooper, ia gone at last. Hia death, at the age of 02 years, could hardly be a surprise, and yet the pub ic was not cfuite prepared for it. It is only a few daya since he was down at Cooper Institute, seeing how matters were going there, and those who law him then thought he waa looking pretty well for a man who had passed fourscore and ten. lie always visited the Institute when he could got out at all, and took note of everything about the place. Ilia interest in it increased with bis years and never flagged for a moment. On reachinc his home, after his last visit, he complained of a tlight cold, which soon developed into pneumonia, and at the end of three days he was dead. Flags were at once hung .t half mast all over the city, people speke softly of the noble l:.fe of the gocd old man, and it seemed as if everyone felt the loss of a well-behoved friend. It is ikely to be a long time before the people of New York find aa true a friend as the one just taken away. Peter Cooper was es sentially a people's man. He cared nothing for politicians, nothing for display, very little for money, except for the good it enabled him to do. lie was a philanthropist in the truest tense, and an untiring beneactor of his kind. The lessons of Benja min Franklin had practical illustration in the deed of Peter Cooper. "What the philoeopbtr taught the phlanthroput perormod, never tiring of hia work and al ways wishing to do more. The papers print columns of obituary, tut all the sketches are substantially the same. They' vary enly in incident and anecdote, and x of the latter there is not much, for the venerable worker was always too busy for play. lie began lite m harnea?, whijh'he wore to th Jast or very near the last, for it was or.ly a year ago that he ceased attending to business, lie was growing feeble, and his ion and aon-in law, ex-Mayor Cooper and Abram S. Hewitt, who were bis business partners, took everything off his hands. So far as appearance went there was not a plainer looking man in New York th ancient IV. er Cooper, aed biß peculiar fice, with lare, old-lush-ion ed spectacles and conspicuous note, was ofton made fun of by the caricaturists in a good-naturned way. It was a capital face tor a cartoon, and many a time and oft it figured in the illustrated papers. But that was given up wnen reverence for his age bf gn, and for several years past ho was not . m . . . 1 even alluded to except wun lie Kindliest esteem. HUSBAND AND WIFE. Probably the most curious episodo in his career waa his appearance in the political field as a Presidential candidate when the Greenback idea, was rampant. He really believed in the idea and a good deal of his monev we&t for its promulk ation, mostly through the pockets of dead beats who fooled the old man into a notion that they were patriots. They besieged him day and night, aiwavs clamoring for cash, and nearly al ways getting it. lie had no more thought of being elected than Charles O'Conor had in his own case when he ran for President a few years before, and, like Mr. O'Conor, he entered the lbta only to assert what he believe 1 to be a principle. The step waa rather quixotish in both casoe. but the men were sincere at all events. It waa odd to see Mr. Cooper running for President and his son-in-law, business partner and house hold companion, Air. liewitt, working like a beaver for one of the opposition candidates, wcne nia son waa cam paign treasurer on the same side. When Peter Ccopor first hired out to make a living he received a year anl his board. He was then seventeen years old, and the trade he took up waa carriage making. It waa not till long after that he rot to glue-making and the iron bu&iness Ironi which his fortune grew, lie had previously learned about brick-making, hatmaking, brewing and the grocery business, and what he did learn he never forgot. Of schooling he ge t very little indeed, and that little only of the simplest kind. Vut he made good use of his spare hours, and when he reached middlo life he was a well-informed man. lie married young, and had the good fortune to find a wife who was a true help mate. For fifty-six years they led together a contented and happy life, the earlier part of it in struggles, which would have diS' couraged lss hopeful hearts than theirs. hen prosperity nnaliy came the husband gave the wife a large share of the credit of bringing it. lie often said it. was to her the greater share of it waa due. She was as plain, sterling and old-lashioued in her way as he, and the credit her husband gave her was well deserved. Iler character was de scribed in an address delivered at her funeral fourteen years ago by Kev. Dr. Bellows who knew her well: , You behold here no feeble relic of dainty idieness and unstrung fibers and soft and tended weakness. IIro is what is left of a rame that has used every nerve and tissue in human service, household cares, diligent and painstaking duty to a husband, chil dren and dependents. Here are the ashes of a woman of the Puritan and Huguenot tpirit ono who knew nothing about the modem uiiconieiu wun woman s epnere: nothing about the weariness of leisure and the lacs; cf adequate occupation; nothing about the inequality of htr woman's lot; or the monotony and oppreMion of a wife's and mother a duua." TASSIO.V FLAY TROUBLES, A small part cf that sum would enable Mr. Salmi Morse to pay hia chorus girls and got rid of a chorus of complaint. The bar'l of money that the ,,Pasion Ply" man started with seems to have giver, out if be ever had it. The chorus ia clamoring for cash, and so, for that matter, are most of the other people engaged lor iir. Morse s great moral spectacle, but tho cash is not forthcoming, me baciers who rurnished the capital to fit up the Temple cf Morality and give the "l'assion A lay" a send-on, so to speak, dont seem willing to furnish any morq. mono naa oeen stopped again, aa you probably know, in his attempt to put his spectacle before the public aa a regular attraction. lie gave a performance some nights ago, under the came of a rehearsal. without interference, but a subsequent one, announced for cLairty, was headed 0Ü by an injunction, after a $1,500 house had assembled. There is to be a hearing on the

injunction in a few daya, and in the n.ean

time the Temple of Morality remains closed. The complete performance just mentioned wa witneased by a very large audience, wlich included jadges, lawyers, doctors, journalists, etc., atid those who saw it say it waa quite harmleea and somewhat dull. All the impersonation, except those of the "Virgin,'' by an intelligent young Jewess, and of "Salome," by a young woman who went through the dance scene with a good deal of spirit, were rather amateurish and vapid. The groupings and miscellaneous gatherings were interesting, and showed that the company had been pretty well drilled, but the acting amounted to very little. Aa to the text, it struck most of those present as decidedly stilted and ponderous, but Mr. Morse considers it remarkably fine. The crucifixion scene is not given, but it ia suggested by an impressive tableaux, which imparts a sensation ofaolemnity and awe. 1 have not ye heard that anyone who witnessed the representation regarded it as blasphemous or sacrilegious in the smallest degree. If the "Savior" wero not brought upon the scene, it probably would no't offend even the roast reverential. Mr. Morse was very angry when the irjunction prevented a second performance. He knew nothing about it till the curtain was about to be raised. It was obtained by tho Socity for Reforming Juvenile Delinquents, on the ground that tho house was not licensed. Thia is tho society that picks up $10 000 a year out cf theatrical licenses. The question of the Mayor's riiht to refuse Mr. Morse a license will bo in the Court of Appeals in a couple of weeks, or lere, and Morse ia confident that it will be decided in his favor. But there is the chorus clamoring for money, in the meantime, and no cash in the treasury. The girls say it is a shame, and real mean, and an outrage, and several other things, and some of tho men talk about "taking it out of his hide," which ia not a scriptural phrase at all; and to cap the painful climax, Mr. Morse himself ieela that he ia a victim of the nioet intolerable persecution heard of since the glorious nineteenth century opened its eyes. BOTUIRlxa ARNUM. The greAt and beneficent Barnum never comes to New Ycrk but some prevention society is after him. It ia the is. P. C. A. or the o 1 . C. C, or some other association lor minding our own neighbor a business, and between them they bother the great showman till he gets mad and aenda them to the right about. The S3. P. C. C brought him into a police court the other day to an swer to the outrage! law for allowing some children, known as the Elliott Family, to go through a bicycle performance in his fchow. It waa a dreadful thing to do, the society said, and it must be stepped right off. But when the case came ou Barnum put some well-known doctors on the stand and had them testify that tho bicycle exercise was an excellent thing for the children; that it developed th ir muscles and made them strong; and that if all the children in iiew lork had the same kind of exerci-o there would not be half as much business for the drug ttores. iSo the juJgo Cecided against the society, the pecpla in the court room applauded, and Barnum walked up to the society s representative, which his name is Jenkins, and made Lim a plump offer of $200 a week to go cn txhioition in The Greatest fchow on JLarth aa the man who wanted to prevent children from making an honest living. Jenkins did not accept, though the S. P. C. C. dce3 net pay him one-fourth as much as Barnum offered. Some men are never ready to jump at a gocd chance when it comos, which accounts tor so many winding up in the Door house. There is a good deal of humbug about the prevention societies after all. No one de nies that 6ome of thom occasionally do very good wort, but men who g into the prevention business aro likely to fancy tbut they were created to i emulate human affaire in i j., . - . gvnerai una iney aomeumes Docome a nuisance in consequence. Bargh, of the S. P. C. A., and Jenkins, of the S. P. C. C, certainty maze memsoives omcious in a rovoking way very oft$o,and elicit miscelaneous remarks which are not by any means complimentary. Both teem to have a spite against Barnum, protably because he comes out ahead every time they tackle him. But I re illy think Jenkins made a mistake in reiuking mat cner ot -juy a weet, witn a chanc to ride on an elephant and play with the monkeys thrown in. SUICID AND THE LAW. The new law against suicide seems to be as dead as any of the persons who have successfully broken it. Felo dose is just aa frequent in New York now as before the law was heard of. Law is a mighty queer thing, anyway. The man who succeesiully breaks the anti-suicide law by actually mak ing away with himself ia not interfered with by the law at all, but the fellow who merely attempts to break it and fails is yanked off to a police court and sent up for a month or two, unless some five-dollar lawyer makes out that he ia insane, in which ca3o the judge says it la all right. Just now the suicide mania ema to to pretty strone. Day before yesterday there were two suicides which attracted a good deal of attention. Nathan S. Morse, the business manager of the Daily News, was the victim in one case, and George W. Davids, a partner in the firm of Thaddeus Davids & Co., the ink manufacturers in the other. Mr. Morse put an end to hia life in the Daily News office, using a pUtol for the purpose, and Mr. Davids selected a hotel as his place of departure from the world, and laudanum as the means. Business worry and losses by speculation were the primary causes in both cases by breaking up tbe nervcua system. The euicide of Mr. Morso caused quite a shock in Printing House Square, where Le was well known. He had been connected with the Daily News about fifteen years, and had inadu some money, which disappaarod in Wall street, and his position in the firm became precarious on that account. It ia hardly worth while to count up all the suicides that have taken place tinea the anti-cuicide law wont into effect as part cf the "criminal code," but they certainly have been just as numerous during that time as thay were m the tame time before. BlINKERIIOFF 9 MONEY. Or;e of the queerest of the many queer cases which get into New lork courts has just been disposed ot by a jury. When CorneS Brinkerhou married barah Terry, twenty-six years ago, he was worth $200,000. lie now makes a living by working in a livery stable. IIow came Cornelius down in the world like that? ell, not long after his marriage he took to drinking more than was good lor him. lie ie lander el a grat deal of monev, altogetner about 580 000. The $120,000 "that was left he made over to hu w ile, understanding, as lie Buys, that it was given in trust andhat he could take it back whore vor he pleased. Soon alter the propeity was made over to Mrs. Brinkerhoff, Cornelius found himself turned out of doors. His wit'e repudiated him altogether, resumed her maiden name, and held on to the property, cf course. That was twenty years ago. Kecently the repudiated husband brought suit to recover the property, and proved to the satisfaction, of the jury, at an events, mat tne ceea to ms ungrateful wife was a truit deed, and that he bad been very badly treated. The re; suit is a verdict declaring that Sarah Terry otherwise Mrs. Bnnkerhcff, has no right to

the property that she has kept and lived by fjr twenty f yean, and must . return it to Cornelius. If Cornelius geil it back, he

wui pronaniy drop the liverv stable, but the woman wno was his wife still has poaseeeion the case will go up on appeal, and there is no telling what the end will be, except that uo lawmen wm pica: up every Collar they C&n. Cornelius has an impression somewhere that Sarah did not treat him j itt "gut. THE BARWICK CAPE. Anothar curious case, very curious indeed, ia the auit of Mr. Bernard Harwick, valet against Iiebecca McLean, spinster, under thirty, and worth $50,000, for $10,000 damagea for breach of promise. Bernard t avs the jilting he received from Iiebecca made him quite sick and upset him in various ways, and that nothing less than $10,000 will make him feel ail neht aain. Th case is before arefsrea instead of a jury, and there seems to be a ereat deal ot fun over it, both in the lawyers office and in the papers, une of the latter got hold of a hoie raft of the lady's love-letteia and printed every word. The letters were spooney and gushing, aa a matter of course any other sort wouldn't be love-letters at all and people talked about them everywhere. It ia a mighty easy thine to eupdIv some people with topica for gossip. Ther fellow who wants the $10.000 is a bit? squashy sort of person, and Müs McLean is bright, sharp and not by any meana illlooking. OCKIOCS, USEFUL AND SCIENTIFIC. In Cincinnati, says the Electrician, the telephone has achieved a wide degree of usefulness, 130 villages havingbeen brought withm speaking distance of tbe city. To prevent boiler incrustation. Dr Baudet, makes a mixture of 15 pints sodium thiosulphate, 10 pinta rain water, and 10 pints glycerol, which he adds to the water. M. Mangm lately demonstrated the safety cf his miners' electric lamp by placing it in the middle of a balloon filled with hydrogen. The appliance ccmhts of a Swan incandescent lamp, immersed in a glass globe containing water. The light is further in tensified by a copper casing sivered inside, and one or roore strong lenses. The Quincy Market Cold Storage Company, of Boston, is said to have the largest refrigerating buildincr in the world. It is of stone and brick. 100x80 feet in size, and iV in height. The capacity is 800.000 cubic feet, the cost $200,000, and the ice chamber holds COO.tOO tons of ice. It will be usod for storing dressed beef and mutton. The Chicago refrigerating cars unload at the door. An enormous mrclite fell on February 1C, a little before 3 o'clock p. m., in a plowed field near AlSanello, between Cremonia and Brescia, sinking more than one metre in tho ground, and pro4ucine a rumblinz noise, heard twenty kilometres off and a reeling of tbe nearest houses as by an earthquake. Unhappily, almost immediately after it fell the country people demolished the lerolite and removed the larger elements. The Grccors' Company, with the object of encouraging original reeearch in sanitary science, have establ ahed three Research Scholarships of the value of 200 a year, and offer a discovery prize of 1,000, to be given once in very four years. The company propose to appoint to two of the scholarships in May next ar-d one in the corresponding month of 1884. The sulject for the first discovery prize will be announced next May, and the period of investigation will extend to December SI, li8G. The Wesley Bedhead says : " Tne statistics of the United States prove that hay is among the foremost crops raised in this country, if not the very first. At the present time there are estimated to be in the United States 40.000,000 sheep, 40.000,000 cattle, and 20.000,000 hörst In two-thirds of the country those animals require to be fed from throe to five months, and they will consume an aggregate ol 90,000,000 tons, which, at $5 per ton, represents the enormous sum of $450,000,000. Is not hay, therefore, king?" At the last meeting of the Linn: an So ciety, London, England, Dr. COPbold des cribed a worm, which he called Simondsia p&radoxa. It is a nematode, tho male living free In the stomach of tbe hog, while the female is lodged in cysts within the walls of the stomach. Although discovered thirty years ago by Prof. Simonds, the Lancet says the worm has never been properly examined. The strange thing ia that the fe male carries outside its body a large rosetteshaped organ, i his the author of the paper considers to be the uterus. Queer Tom. Tom Flossofer was tbe queerest boy. It don't seem as if he ever cried, pioone ever saw bim cry. If Fleda found her tulips all rooted up by her pet puppy, and cried, as little cms will, lorn was sure to come around tho corner whistling, ana 4 What makes you cry can you cry tuips, too? Do you think that every sob makes a root or blossom? Here, let's try to right them. So he would pics up tne poor nowcrs; put their roots into the ground again, whisting all the time; make tne bod look smooth and fresh, and take Floda off to hunt hens' eergs in the barn. One day hia great kite snapped the string and flew away far out of sight, lorn stood still for a moment, and then turned around to come home, whistling a merry tune. "Why, Tom, aren t you sorry to lose that kite?" 'Yes, but what's the use? I can't take morn a minute to teei bad. 'borry will not bring the kite back, and I want to make another." Just so when ha broke his leg, 'Poor Tom," cried Ileda, "you can't play any wo-o-o-rel I'm not poor, either, x ou cry for me; 1 don t have to do it tor myself, and 1 have splendid time to whittle. Besides, when I cet well, 1 shall beat every boy in school on the multiplication table; for, I sav it over and over tili it makes mo sleepy, every time my leg achte " Tom ITlossofer was queer certainly; but it would be well if a great many more people w ere queer that way. t All Around the Douse.

We send out our ships, but can not patiently await their return. There aro a great many duties that can not w.lt. Unless they are done the moment they present themselves, it is not worth while to do them at all. The best of us are hampered in every effort at improvement, cot alone by our own faults, but by those of our neighbors. IIow abundant are the men and women who crave martyrdom in leadership! How few are willing to honor themselves in the loyalty of service I A man's character is an element ot his wealth, and you can not make him rich in what he hai except as you teach him to be rich in what he is. It does net follow that ycu must do a mean thing to a man who has done a mean thiüg to you. The old proverb runs "Beru the cur has bitten me. shall I bite the enr?" What men want is not talent, it is pur pose; in other worcs, not tne power to aehieve, but will to labor. I believe that abor, judiciously and continuously applied. becomes genius. Lytton. Out of Health. In this common expression ia comprehended an immense amount of bodily and mental suffering. It is not necessary to be affected with positive disease In order t- experience unutterable wretched ness A person out of health is weak, languid, low-spiiited.

PLAIN TRUTHS The blood is the foundation of LTe, it circulates through every part of the body, and unless it is pure and rich, good health is impossible. If disease has entered the system the only sure and quick way to drive it out is to purify and enrich the blood. These simple facts are well known, and the highest medical authorities agree that nothing but iron will restore the blood to its natural condition; and also that all the iron preparations hitherto made blacken the teeth, cause headache, and are otherwise injurious. Brown's Iron Bitters will thoroughly and quickly assimilate with the blood, purifying and strengthening it, and thus drive disease from any part of the system, and it will not blacken the teeth, cause headache or constipation, and is positively not injurious. Saved his Child. j; N. EuUw St., Baltimore, Md. Feb. 12, i83o. Gents: Upon the recommendation of a friend I tried Brown's Ibow Eittkrs as a tonic and restorative for my daughter, whom I was thoroughly convinced was wasting away with Consumption. Having lost three daughters by the terrible disease, under the care of eminent physicians, I was loth to believe that anything could arrest the progress of the disease, but, to my great surprise, before my daughter had taken one bottle of Brown's Iron Eittkrs, she began to mend and now is quite restored to former health. A fifth daughter began to show signs of Consumption, and when the physician was consulted lie quickly said "Tonics were required ; and when informed that the elder sister was taking Brown's Ikon Bittkrs, responded "that is a good tonic, uke it."
