prosecution of the war. In the Democratic 



N.-iiiiinal Convention of 186H, which assembled 

 in Tammany Hall, New York, Mr. llendricks 

 was a leading candidate for the presidential 

 Humiliation. On the twenty-first ballot he re- 

 ceived 182 votes, while General Hancock re- 

 c ived l:{.~>^. It seemed probable that Mr. 

 lli-ii'lnek* would be the choice of the conven- 

 tion, when tho name of Horatio Seymour was 

 brought forward, and unanimously agreed 

 upon. As the Democratic candidate for Gov- 

 ernor of Indiana, Mr. Hondricks was defeated 

 in I860 by Henry L. Lane, and in 1868 by 

 Conrad Baker, but in 1872 was elected for the 

 term ending January 1. 1877. Prior to the 

 assembling of the National Democratic Con- 

 vention in St. Louis, in July, 1876, Governor 

 Hendricks's name was prominently brought 

 forward for the first place on the ticket, but Mr. 

 Tilden became the nominee for President, and 

 Governor Hendricks was chosen as the candi- 

 date for Vice-President. (For Governor Hen- 

 dricks's views on finances and other public 

 questions, see his letter of acceptance. For 

 the result of the election, see UNITED STATES.) 



Hi:.\ T NEBERG, RUDOLF, a German painter, 

 born September 13, 1826; died in Brunswick, 

 his native town, September 14, 1876. Having 

 finished his studies, he held for one year a 

 position as auditor in the circuit court in 

 Brunswick; and in 1850, following his own in- 

 clinations, devoted himsalf to the study of art 

 in the academy at Antwerp. In the following 

 year he went to Paris, where he became a pu- 

 pil of Couture. In 1861 he went to Italy and 

 spent two winters in Rome, devoting himself 

 to the study of the works of the old masters, 

 and particularly of Titian. After a short resi- 

 dence in Munich, he went to Berlin in 1866, 

 and to Rome in 1873, where he remained up to 

 a short time before his death. In 1867 he 

 sent to the Paris Exhibition his " Wild Hunts- 

 man." which gained for him a medal and con- 

 siderable reputation. In the following year 

 appeared his ''Chase after Fortune," for which 

 he received a gold medal in Berlin, and the art 

 medal of the Vienna Exposition, and which 

 placed him in the front rank of German ar- 

 tiste. 



HERBERT, Sir PERCY EGERTON, a British 

 general, born in 1822; died October 7, 1876. 

 IK- was the second son of the second Earl of 

 Powis; entered the army in 1840, and rapidly 

 advanced. He served in the Kaffre War of 

 1851 to 1853, and in the expedition into the 

 Orange River sovereignty. He took part in 

 the Crimean War, was wounded at the Alma, 

 and distinguished himself at Inkerman and at 

 Sevastopol. He afterward served in India, 

 when he took part in various affairs and skir- 

 mishes. He was Treasurer of the Household 

 in 1867, and became major-general in 1868. 

 In the latter yeir he married the only child 

 of the Earl of 'Kerry. He was M. P. for Lud- 

 low in 1854-'60, and from 1865 up to his death 

 sat for South Shropshire. 



HEUGLIN, THEODOR vow, a German ex- 

 plorer, born March 20, 1824; died November 5, 

 1876. After having panned through the gym- 

 nasium, he devoted himself to the study of the 

 natural sciences, particularly pharmacy, and 

 then made extensive travels through Kurope. 

 The year 1850 saw him in Egypt, Arabia, and 

 on the shores of the Red Sea. Prepared by 

 his study of the Oriental languages and cus- 

 toms, and well acquainted with life in the 

 East, he was in 1852 attached to the Austrian 

 consulate in Khartoom, as secretary to the 

 consul, Dr. Reitz, and, on his journey thither, 

 had occasion to visit some very interesting re- 

 gions. He remained for some time in Dongola, 

 and visited the oasis El-Khab and the plain of 

 Bajuda. His first enterprise, together with 

 Dr. Reitz, was an official journey to Abyssinia, 

 through entirely unknown regions. After the 

 death of Dr. Reitz, Heuglin became consul. He 

 brought with him from this journey numerous 

 interesting scientific notes, which he published 

 under the title of "Reisen in Nordostafrika " 

 (1857). His next journey was into the terri- 

 tory of the White Nile, and to Kordofan, from 

 which he brought back a large number of in- 

 teresting animals, both living and dead, which 

 he sent to the Zoological Garden in Vienna. 

 In his " Systematische Uebersicht der Vogel 

 Nordostafrikas" (1854), he mentioned 754 dis- 

 tinct species of birds. In 1857 he traveled 

 over the west coast of the Red Sea and the 

 Somali coast. The results of this journey he 

 described in Petermann's Mitthe'dungen for 

 1860 and 1861. In 1861 he set out on a jour- 

 nsy from Egypt into the interior of Africa, to 

 determine the fate of the celebrated explorer, 

 Edward Vogel. Among his companions were 

 a number of men distinguished as explorers, 

 among them Hansal, Steudner, Schubert, and 

 Kinzelbach, while he was afterward joined by 

 Munzinger Bey. After traveling through 

 Abyssinia and the neighboring countries of 

 the Gallas, the Bogas, and the Kunamas, meet- 

 ing with a very friendly reception on the part 

 of King Theodore of Abyssinia, they returned 

 and arrived again in Khartoom in July, 1862. 

 In the beginning of 1863 we find Heuglin and 

 Steudner again as members of the expedition 

 of the Dutch lady Miss Tinne to the Bahr-el- 

 Ghasal, the western tributary of the White 

 Nile. Henglin returned alone to Khartoom in 

 March, 1864, Steudner having died the previous 

 year. In November of the same year he was 

 in Suez, whence he returned to Europe in 1866. 

 He now devoted himself entirely to working 

 up the scientific material which he had brought 

 home from his journeys; first making journeys 

 to France, Holland, and Northern Germany, 

 everywhere comparing the libraries of those 

 countries. He then published the "Reise 

 nach Abessinien und den Gallalandern " (1868), 

 " Ornithologie Nordostafrikas" (57 numbers, 

 1869-'75), and " Reise in das Gebiet der west- 

 lichen Zuflusse des WeNson Nil" (1S69). In 

 1870 and 1871 he made two trips to the North-
