In a fair interview with his most Intimate acquaintance?, we learn that the political career of Kelson Record, of the Sixth ward, has been of undannted and self-reliant resources, a man of stern determination and its accomplishment. What a pity we haven't more Records.

M*- Mollis Row, aged 39 years, living at 3..c vest Fifth street, Cincinnati, Ohio, was found shortly before 1 o'clock last Wednesday morning, lying dead on the floor of her room. The froth was flowing from her month, and there were indications that she had possibly taken poison. She had been sick for some time, and under the care of Dr. Caldwell. The coroner will investigate.

Alexander Brown will leave near the first of June on a tour of impaction of the subordinate lodges of Masons in the State, as its grand lecturer. We willingly risk our reputation, as writers of great men, in asserting through this medium that the best work to the lodges at the bands of a lecturer will be those exem plified by the present lecturer, a man of ritualistic brilliancy, of profoundness and wide judgment and consideration. We also willingly assert that the grand lodge of the state, having so grand a work to perform, and its performance greatly depending on the efficacy of the brain power of its foremost officers, suffi cient to say, may never reach its zenith, until this thoughtful and thorough work er in Free masonry, is called to fill the highest office within its gift.

Our lives are not leased. The pale horse and its rider, in making its early morning circuits, baited for a few moments in the sleeping appartment of T. E. Guthrie's tonsorial shop on south Third street, Tbursdav morning at half past two o'oclock, and relieved his brother, William Guthrie, of the sufferings he has endured for months. There must amid all, be attributed to the human family, certain peculiarities that differ materially even, as the disposition of the individual may differ, but these indifferences will be rectified by our omnipotent Creator. Mr. Guthrie bore the reputation of being an expert, both as a tonsorial artist and a man with considerable mu«ic adaptation. He was born in the

JS and had lived in the city near years, and one very favorable (ction that marked him was his ever a ^nd polite demeanor. The funeral uceetr to-morrow at 5 o'clock. virden Dyer of the penitentiary at .ambus, Ohio, received a letter on the 2 '-ib last, from Wade Gushing, of Cinoianatj, attoruev for Charles Craig, who is sentenced to be hanged June 1st* 1891, asking if there were any executions set for July 1801. He deairtQjhe information for the circuit court of his county wanted to fix a day for the Craig esse. Warden Dyer is at a loss to understand -why the letter was written as the circuit court last month granted a stay of execution to Craig from May 8th, to June 1st, that they might examine the ease, and have since affirmed the

I- -lsion of the lower court. The .or ler of the circuit court in Warden I er's possession instruct him to exe:e the order ot the court June 1st, 1 as the court has disposed of the case, pen officials cannot understand how is is again to come before that body.

Unless there is executive interference Craig will be hanged to-morrow alter midnight and readers of the daily papers will be afforded the unusual privilege of reading an account of a legal banging Monday morning as it will in all probability be the first time that such an event took place so near the first of the week, commonly called Monday. So far no stem have been taken by Craig's friends to bring his ease before the board or the governor.

Texas, and about thirty-seven years old. His father was killed in battle during the war of the rebellion, and the son was early thrown upon his own resources. Besides himself he had his mother and sister to provide for. He entered a printing office, and in time became a compositor. From the cases he went into the editorial room, and shortly afterward started a small weekly -paper of his own. While editing his newspaper he studied law, and in a few years was admit* ted to practice. He has been a hard student, and now ranks very high at the bar of Ms stateuV He has been successful, too, in his practice, and has accumulated a handsome competency. He has never been a very active poll ticiaa, though he has been in both branches of the legislature, where he was regarded as a political economist of much learning. He is said to have conservative views, and to be very courteous in manner.

Mr. Reagan's resignation, says Harper's Weekly, probably closes that gentleman's long career in national affairs. He was a member of the United States congress before the war, and resigned when his state adopted an ordinance of secession. Ho was a member of the confederate congress, and also the post-master-general in Mr. Davis' cabinet. When the reconstruction period was over, he was elected again to the national congress, in which he served term after term until he was elected to the senate in 1877. In the house Mr. Reagan served on the postal committee, but he will be best remembered as the advocate of an interstate committee bill to regulate the carrying charges of the railroads. He pressed his biU with great pertinacity, and always |insisted that the same rate should be charged for along as for a short haul. The bill which finally became a law was not his, but Senator Cullom's, but it embodied many of Mr. Reagan's ideas. He Is a man of great energy and intense earnestness. It is said that he would not have resigned from the sanate but for the fact that he despaired of a reelection on account of the unpopularity .of his action in advocating a prohibition law in his state.

tSpoelal Waabington Oorr«cpendette&] Assassination and revenge were instantaneous. Thirty years ago a handsome young man, the captain of the best-drilled military company in the United States, offered his services, and President Lincoln accepted them. Thereupon a regiment was raised, and the captain becamcCol. Elmer EL Ellsworth, and his regiment was known as Ellsworth's Fire Zouaves. Before the war, with his Bplendidly-drilled company, Capt. Ellsworth traveled all over the country, south, west and north, giving exhibition drills. His name was known throughout the length and breadth of the land, and the announcement that he had raised a regiment for the war created great enthusiasm among young men of the republic.

The war had scarcely begun. On the morning of May 23, 1861, the regiment was drawn up in line for dress parade, and to receive the orders of the day. Col. Ellsworth made a short speech, in which he told his men that the president had ordered him to Alexandria, Va., with instructions to avoid all violence and bloodshed, if possible, and to peaceably occupy the city which was in rebellion in sight of the national capital He told the regiment that he had asked permission to lead the way across into the state of Virginia, and the president had granted his request because the fire zouaves were the first volunteer regiment sworn into the service, and because the president had confidence in the prudence and good discipline of- the zouaves. The country was in a state of actual war, and a terrific conflict was impending, but Col. Ellsworth was going with an armed force upon a mission of peace ready for any emergency or contingency incident to the unprecedented circumstances of the occasion. And he was going to his death. One hour before the tragedy which startled the nation he wrote a letter to his father and mother, jointly, commencing it: "My Dear Parents." In the letter he stated that it might be his lot to be injured in some manner, and said: "Whatever may happen, cherish the consolation that I was engaged in the performance of a sacred duty. I am perfectly content to accept whatever my fortune may be, confident that He who notes tlie fall o? a sparrow will have some purpose even in the fate of one like me."

A noble, manly fellow was CoL Ellsworth, and his surviving friend and avenger, Sergt. Browncll, who lives to-day, believes that the letter to his, parents was a prophecy and that there

1 ELLSWORTH'S DEATH, was a Divine purpose in the fate of the gallant young officer. Nothing could have happened to stir the bloodjj of the young men of the north as did' the assassination of the popular young' soldier, who fell in line of duty at the outset of the war in such a dramatic,, tragic manner, while hauling down the emblem of the confederacy They! sprang to arms, and regiment after regiment came forward, more soldiers in fact than the federal government at that time could take care of and utilise. The tragic ending of Ellaworth's life at the beginning of the war, and the sudden taking el the life of President Lincoln at the close of the war, were most fatal to the well-being of the section of the country then in tfij* bellion. Both shots were Hired by assassins.

Sergt. Frank Brownell resides In Washington, and Is an efficient special agent of the pen a oSce. He was one Of a squad of sold«rrs who accompanied CoL Ellsworth from the boat at the wbacf to the Mcrshcit henej where the tragedy ocv.:rn-l Cfefctmry tofispeeta-' tion, aorui". wai- to the ..entry of the r\- .-nrat h.to Alexandria.

from the roof into the attic. He preceded by Sergt Brownell, who started down the stairs to the third floor, when instantly he saw a dark, brawny fellow with a double barreled shotgun standing at the foot of the stairs, ready to shoot, Brownell leaped downstairs, striking at the gun with his saber-bayonet, and turning it aside. Brownell fell backwards, and just then CoL Ellsworth appeared at the head of the stairs. Jackson immediately turned from Brownell and fired straight at' the heart of the young officer as he stood there with the flag on his arm. The aim was deadly, and CoL Ellsworth fell forward to the floor of the stairs. The shotgun was then aimed at Brownell, but he stooped and fired his rifle, simultaneously with Jackson's delivery of his fire with the other'barrel of his shotgun. Brownell was untouched, but Jackson was killed. Without stopping to see the effect of his shot, Brownell jumped forward and thrust his saber-bayonet

through Jackson's body, forcing him backward and to the foot of the staircase. Brownell says that, from the moment he saw Jackson, until both shots were fired and the assassin lay dead at the foot of the stairs, not more than a minute of time elapsed.

Even in death Ellsworth was potent to save the city of Alexandria. His well drilled company, with which he had traveled before the war, displayed the discipline of veterans. They appealed to other members of the regiment to remember the last words of their late commander, in the address delivered counseling order and obedience to the will of the president. That last speech of the young soldier to his men saved the city of Alexandria from pillage and destruction. Had it not been delivered and acted upon, tho Ellsworth Fire Zouaves would have burned, sacked and utterly wiped the town of Alexandria out of existence. But the tragedy was followed by discipline and order, in the midst of tremendous excitement. The body of the dead soldier was carried back to the boat, thence to the Washington navy yard, where it was prepared for burial, and then laid in state in the great East room of the white house. Sergt. Brownell was detailed as a guard for the remains, and accompanied them to New York, Albany, Troy and Mechanicsburg. Funeral services were held in each of those cities, and the interment was made at Mechanicsburg, where a handsome monument now marks the spot.

President Lincoln wo* deeply affected by the death of Ellsworth. He went to the navy yard and there wiewed the remains, and with tearful eyes and mournful voice expressed his intense grief. Sergt. Brownell was there, and heard him exclaim: "My poor boy! Can It be possible that this sacrifice was necessary for your country?"

One of the quietest, most unpretentious gentlemen in this city to-day is* the survivor of the tragedy and the avenger of his comrade commander. Time has dealt leniently and kindly with him. He is yet a young man hi appearance, barring the few lines of gray hair which streak and grizzle his beard. He is about five feet ten inches tall, sl&nder, muscular and active. He walks with a steady, soldierlike tread and is always engaged in his official work for the pension office. Although he was retired from the service in November, 1863, on account of injuries received in line of duty, he recovered and returned to the army and hat since enjoyed comparatively good health. He w»s appointed to a captaincy in the regular army and served until 1870, when he was obliged to again retire. He is an educated gentleman, givih to much contemplation and reading. He seldom refers to the important event of which he was the central figure, but has told the story a great many times at grand army reunions, hating appeared once at Cincinnati before an annual encampment in tlie zouave uniform which he wore upon that eventful day. He was given the shotgun which Jackson used as a present from President Lincoln. He also retains at his home here the rifle which he carried at the time, with which he avenged his commander's death so speedily. Occasionally he goes to Alexandria, and has once or twice conducted friends to the spot and pointed out the'positions occupied by Jackson and himself in their hand-to-1 hand straps. Jackson was prepared for his dy work, having phrased to kill both tho colonel and the sergeant, I while Brownell was taken at a disadvsntaipe and was obliged to think and rsctwith #ort*majAely bevras e$«al to tlie emet&emor.
