Death Of Washington Wright, a San
Francisco Journalist,

Francisco Journalist.
tF1om tic San Francisco Amosiean Flag, Aug. Isl
Nearly ten years ago, the writer Of this
made an agreement with the gentleman now
deceased, that the one surviving tho other
should 81 o' do Justice to bis memory, placing him
awarding that need Of praise which might
seem just. The time has come when that
melancholy duty must be performed; and,
perhaps. no other Is SO we'll acquainted with
the history Of his life. Mr.. Wright died last
Saturday morning, and. like many other
men Of talent or genius, left nothing tangi-
bic on earth but the fruits Of his pen. The
period Of his life Was about thirty y-eieht
years.
He was born in the State Of New York,
stat atesman, siias Wright. Having removed
to the West, his parents died, leaving him
mere child and utterly fricnd1css. By some
chance, he wandered to Cincinnati, and
miuEliDg with other little waits Of the great
city. became q match-boy, and grew up a'-
Of cvcn common schools. His taste for art
was developed in common paint-shop.
where lie attained great skill, which vas af.
terward displayed in some ofthe ornamental
work Of the Natioual Capitol. When only

campaign, when he returned to Springfield,
H., and becoming proftge OF Governor
fates and other influential men, uas placed
IN the editorial rooms Of the Springfield En-
fe1pFist, where he soon became 1ayorably
known TO the profession throughout the
West. His limited education was literally
picked mp While IN the paint shop aud In the
army, and was indeed slender enough. It
VIII asto9tsh his professional friends md CO.
temporaries to know that Mr. Wight was
not acquainted With cven the rudiInents or
English grammar. notwithstanding the
classic elegance and e1actness OF lis news
paper articles, he scarcely knew noun tom
verb, ana had neTcr learned Any rule Of
construction O. eomposltion' when asked
now he contHved 10 write with SO great
grammatical accuracy, he said that he did so
by sound, and could tnus detect any irregu-
iarfts ~ his composition, which rarely con-
tained the slightest departure from ths rules
Of language.
