Elder Henry Hand. It appeara that the founder of the widely ncaltered 1 land family in Uie C, ,T S. wa» one John Hand who eame to this ~ , country from Kent Co., England, in 1 1 1640, and settled In Connecticut. Soon • I afterwards lie ■ became one of a colony tluit emigrated to cast end of Long Island for the purpose of engaging in wlialc fishing from the shore, an industry still carried on in that locality wiih suc- ; cess, as many as a dozen whales having • j been captured there this winter. John Hand had Ibrec sons, and in 1G00 a colony from Long island, one of John's sons, Snamgar, was of it, settled at Town Rank and engaged in the whale fishing. From this son Shamgar all the New Jersey Hands are descended. Includ- , log the subject of our weekly sketch, Henry Hand, contractor and builder, of this city. There sre so many of the : name that we wish to particularly designate the right one at the outset. It was the design to write up the family in tills sketch, hut data we are looking up ' in Long Island has not as yet been fur- ! nislrcd us. hence amplification on the ' •<J lands will have to he deferred to nn- ! other branch of the family. Dr. Bees- ' < ley In his' valuab'e pamphlet on the 1 early history of Cape Slay, says that 1 Shamgar was a large land owner, having ' j bought of the West Jersey Society aud < j Daniel Cox 700 acres in lower Capo May, I j hut of that furthered ong in the gallery, ' Providence permitting. ' It may be skid that whaling must have been favorable to the propagation 1 of Ihe family, for we find that from thl« t parent primordial stem Sliamger,' has < grown a gcncological tree whose branches 1 reach all over the state, and some of 1 them have be transplanted to other states and territories. Our mmdesty c prevent* us from saying too much of the r although there has been inch a ' wide diffusion of tbo Hand blood as to ■ thin out relationship to such a degree u 0 to be undistlnguishable. We br.ve of. f ten thought how the ancient John e looked lo his hop farm In Kent county, * England, and what kind of a subject to 1 the king he made, whether he took an b active pert In the trouble of hla times, or r left his native hill* to get clear of them. ' If any member of^the family has the J -Abe family

■ money and the motive they might do a favor to ail concerned by making a little trip over the sea this snmmcr and learn from the records of old Kent just who John Hand was. There is a tradition among us that be came over with Wilthe conquerer, with a prefix to hla i name. That being the rase the Normandy root of the family must have written his name. If he was master of that useful art. "dc Hand," who knows? We should like to pursue this Interest, ing theme fu-ther, but we must leave the Conquerer and the chevalier "do Hand" and got down to our gallery business of telling tlic readers of the Wave something of Henry Hand, whose likebeams upon them this morning Among all our citizens none are better ■ than he, nor are there any whote friendship it more lasting and disinterested. He Is a man of most generous 1 and warm Impulses, and of the largest humanity, recognizing in every human being a brother. Ills devotion to his Clntmian duties are conspicuous traits of character, and go far in shaping the daily current of his life. Mr. Hand Is a chop student of the Bible, and has no hesitation In bring a shot at the enemy of souls from It* magazine of spiritual ammunition whenever occasion require*. At public service and In hit family he is tne eame eonsUlant, humble follower of bis Lord. Few men are belter read up. on aubjvcU that appertain to the spiritual lite than he. It has bad the effect to broadly baimoalze his own with a spirit of charily that Ukes In every son and daughter of apostate . Adam. Being gifted with ready speech Mr. Hand has been the means or encouraging many weary ones, and helping them on towards the Celestial city. There are thaae who acknowledge many kind and 'bracing words from him when almost ready to despair of any good from personal labor iu the vineyard, where so much of Indifference la generally encountered. Our friend Is not, nor has he been in good health for some years, bat be never , l»sea, notwithstanding, his cheerfulness nor courage In his daily walk and con. versation. No complaint; no fault flnd1 ig, nor detraction of others is a charaetertotie element of his shake tip and It 1 is manifested right along, every dar, by a steady even pull In the traees of pubi But we must say something of him In another line, and remaik that his blith occurred in this city, January 81, 1888, third in a family of eleven. His father. K xnmpense Hand, pilot, was a roan universally respected for hla sterling integrlty of character. Ills mother wis a , da ifbtcr of Dr. Robert Schcnck.4 well known physician In this vicinity who was a brother of the father of General St-henck, our late minister to England. She was a woman of lovely Christian character, and was especially beloved by the poor and qeedy, who never sought » herald in rain. Her life was truly a r j*g"ful ?*.'

around her. She died in 1894; her Lusband surviving her about seventeen years, both were members- of the Presbyterian church. Mr. Hand received hit education in this elty, in the days bet fore public scho Is. having for bis tiaebere the late James llOgbes, Enoch Kdmpnda and others. At the age of sixteen years the bay was sent to llilladelphia, where his brother Issac had already preceded him to learn the trade of a carpenter. That being accomplished, lie relumed to this city, residing here and working at his trade, until 1888. I At that time business being' dull, and ' his health failing, ho resolved lo try the climate of Minnesota. lie remained there about three years, returning to Cape May in 1859 with perfectly restored health, where he has ever since resided. lie relates as an experience of his while in Minncaott, the fact of having assisted at Ihe raising of a house, with 0 mercury at 45 below zero. Alter his re- - turn from Minnesota he entered into a ij partnership with Maskcl Ware, of this „ city, as contractor and builder. The; „ firm has built many of our beautiful regiy ilen ces, notably, those of II. C. Lea g near Grant street depot; Chan. Ferguson, „ South Lafkyeltc street; Jos. Evans, Cooy grass Street: Harrison's. Warnc's Club House and others -iFCoIumbia Avenue; ; Tatham's. Albert's, Heatty's on Beach , Avenue, and many others. In fact one , can walk bat a ahort distance In any s direction throughout our city without 1 feeing some of its handiwork. The . business of the firm has not been con- , fined to this city, it built tjie Baptist . Church at Rio Grande, Sparks Cottage, Atlantic City, Pasacnger statlan on New [ York Division of the P. R. II. at New. , ark, N. J., tod also erected 26 life sav. . ing stations along the coaat from Cape May to bandy Ilook Light, in 1872. ! The firm still continues its pleasant rc- , iations, and bids fair to so do, for many years to come, as its two members hold each other in high esteem. Mr. Hand , was convened and joined the Presby- . terian church of this city in 1854, during the pastorate of Rev. Mr. Swing, anil is one of the pioneers of the cliurcn. He been for many years an active, earnest, Christian worker one whose is always a welcome one, in other churches as well as that of which lie Is a member. About the year 1878, during the pastorateofRev. K. P. Shields, (who used call him his "Armor Bearer, "j he was ordained Elder. He has been sent !«• the session ot bis church a. number of times to Presbytery, amfoncc to Synod. He has served the city in an official capacity three years as councilman, a number of terms each in the offices of Recorder and Truatec of public schools, and for several terms as Assessor, which office bo still holds. In all of these places of public trust ho has given general satisfation. performing his duties with credit and abilliy. Mr. Hand in ' married Eliza Doak, of Philadelbhia, a daughter of John Doak, a local ' preacher of that city. They have six ' children, four sons and two daughters. the eldest son, married and living ]t John the eldest son,

1 in Warren, Penn. Another son, George, le still single at the present time in Atiann tic City, and two sons Harry and Rady 10 ftiU under the home roof. The two o oldest are carpenters, having learned ]. Ihe trade With their father, and the two j youngest are now learning the name p. trade. * Carrying Hie Illustration Father >' Than He Intended. Writing of the late Hun. Henry B: e" Stanton, his wife, Mrs. Elizabeth Cady lc Stanton, gives the following incident in ^ connection with one of his temperance "When speaking before an audience, he wae very quick to torn to account ^ any unexpected occurrence. On one or- ^ cason he was delieering a temperance lecture on a platform cofered by a thick ^ oilcloth that protruded two or three inches over the edge of the boards in n front. In the midst of one of bis most ^ eloquent passage* he was comparing the , inebriate's downward coune to Ihe falls of Niagara, and the struggle with drink to the hopeless offorta of a man in the o rapids. Just as ho reached. In his r'tocriptlon, the fatal plunge over the preJ cipica, he advanced to the edge of the platform, the oilcloth gave way under t his feet, and in an instant he went down l{- headlong into the audience, canying v with him desk, glass, pitcher, and water . t Being UghUand agile, he was quickly a on the platform again, and Immedla'cb lt remarked with great coolness: 'I car. l( ried my I lustration farther than I bad intended to. Yet even so it is that the drunkard (alls, glsvt in band, carrying y destruction with him. But not so roadie lly does he tlse again from the terrible 0 depth 'Into which he has precipitated himself.'

" V MEXICAN KOCIETJK | s^ere exi«ts no other society on the ptin- | noVftysn iu ladia, whejfi there is more t | distinction 'of cifs<4 >g than thare is , I found in Mexico. -On the gnlf coo*'., by j conaaqnenc* or the nnfortunste amalgams. _ j lion of Ihe white and the Indian and Chlne*e and the bLack raeea, there are said to ^ exist at least half a dozen separate classes of , humanity, of different color, or, at least, of t different clisrocterixic*. In the capital such is not ihe ea*e. There are Castiiians and Creole*, or children of Indian raothere and Spanish fathom and full-blooded Indians. The Creoles are noted for their in- ^ teUigenco, their symmetry at form and fca5 <ar" nnfi their personal courage. Their complexion may be said to resemble that of t the far-famed cahalleros of Andalnaia. The males are tall and shapely, while the ladies J are generally very beautiful, are welli formed, possets delicately-molded hands and feet, and the rao*t bsaatiful eyes of any of ' the human family. The belles of the South of Franoe, of the mountains and plain* of Spain, of the Sierras and coast of Portu. gaT and the famous cities of Italy, most I to their oharming sisters of the Lstin republics in the beauty, shape, size and expression of the eyes. They are so* exceedexpressive, a glance from between < low fringes seen, to melt into toe The Mexican ladies are exemplary wives and fond, loving mothers. Their home to them is their entire world ; their husbands the idols of their heart*, while iheir children are the angels which mako their homo their heaven. Yet, strange to say, there is no word in the Spanish language that can express the idea oonvsyod in our dear old hearty Anglo-Saxon word "home." The approach to It is fonnd in Aejnrr, which, may be translated "hearth-stone," or situply "hearth." Yet, notwithstaoding tliis, the ties of family are more binding in society than among any other race nn.ler liesven. The repenUnt outcast til* friendly shelter of the family roof, while the prodigal sou invariably finds tbo arms of indulgent and forgiving parents open to recqive him, for among the Spanish Creoles " blood is thicker than water," aud which stream from a mother's eyes Ave often wiped away the stains of erring daughters' sin.
