life is that women are removed from it
The men may not know what it is that lets
them down to lower state of feeling, OF
what that subtle influence was that kept

Finding our forces repulsed, With the re-

Death of Rev. T. Starr King.

The death Of the Rev. Thomas Starr
King, which is announced in our dispatch.
es, will be source Of profound regret to
the numberless admirers Of this eloquen,
and patriotic clergyman. Mr.. King died
at San Francisco Yesterday, after brieI
illness from diptheria. He was born in
New York City on the 10th of Decent Der,
1924, and was therefore little over thir.
ty.nine years Of age a. the time Of his de-.
cease. He was the eldest son Of the Rev.
T. F. King, Upiversalist minister, who
settled at Charlesto n, Mass, in 1884.
Starr was preparing to enter Harvard
College, when the sudden death of his
father threw the family upon him for
support. Giving up all hope Of collie
giate education, he worked hard as q
clerk and schoolmas,er until he was TWEEN.
ty years old, devoting bis leisure to theo.
logical studies, and in September, 1845,
preached bis first sermon at Woborn,
sachusetts.
In I846 he was settled over his father g
former society in Charleston, where he
remained until 1858, when he was called
to the Hollis Street Unitarian Church,
Boston. During his twelve years resi-.
dence in that city. acquired high rep
utation for eloquence both as a prescher
and lecturer. visiting nearly every part Of
the country in that capacity. Cincinnati
audiences hsve enjoyed ample opportu-
mites OF listening to his fascinating ora.
tory. In April, 1860. he accepted an
offer from the Unitarian Church of San
Francisco, over which he remained pas.
tor until the day Of his death. During
the last year or two. the congregation
has built splendid church, on which the
last liability was paid only a few weeks
since. Mr.. King labored assiduously for
the Union cause in California, and il was
in great par: owing TO his Influence that
such liberal golden offerings have been
sen. to the Sanitary Commission. His
principle work is "The White Hills; Their
Legends, Laws. Tribes and Poetry" a
tastefully illustrated quarto, which ap.
peared in 1885, Cincinnati Gazette.
