heath aF GEO. D. PRENTICE.

GEORGE DENIsON PRENTICE died
atthe residenceOf his son, near Louis
vile at o'clock A. NJ. January %,
1870.
He was one OF the most brilliant
writers of this country, a very fine
newspaper writer, and a poet of no
mean pretentions. He was born in
New Preston, Conn, and was sixty
seven years old at his death.
In 1880 he took the editorial charge
of the Louisville Journal and made it
one of the most brilliant and pow
erful papers of the land. During
the war, with the exception OF
one days issue, the paper strongly
supported the Union. That eXcep-
ton was at the breaking out of the
war. Mr.. Prentice was absent at the
time spoken of, and one of his subor-
dinates took exception to an act of the
administration and issued one day a
hot rebel sheet. This wa~ immedi-
ateIy changed. About two years ago
the Journal passed into other hands
and by consolidation it became the
C0urier-JournoI a strong Democratic
paper. Mr.. Prentice held but subOr-
dinate position, and his closing career
was not as brilliant as his abilitie
should have madeit. Duringhis,closing
hours he was surrounded by friends
and his lastmoments were peaceful A
few moments previous to his death he
requested the reading of one of his
earlier writings, which was complied
with. 1t is as follows:
nIt can not he that this earth is
mans only abiding place; it can not
be that our life is only a bubble cast
up by eternity, to float "a moment upon
the waves and sink in nothingness.
Else why is it the high and glorious
aspirations which leap like angels
from the temple of our hearts, are
forever wandering unsatisfied? Why
is it that the rainbow and clouds come
over US with beauty that is not of
earth, and then pass off and leave us
to wonder on their loveliness' Why
is il that the stars which hold their
festival around the midnight throne
are set above the grasp of our limited
faculties, forever mOcking US with
their unapprOachable glory? And
finally, why is it that bright forms Of
human beauty are presented to our
view and taken from us, leaving a
thousand streams of our affections TO
flow back in an alpine torrent upon
our hearts We are born for a higher
destiny than that of earth. There is
a realmwhere the rainbow never fades,
where the stars are spread out before
us like islands that slumber on the
ocean, and where the beautiful being
which passes from us like shadows
will stay forever in our presence"
At the close of the reading, the fol-
towing words were ELECTED from him
the last on earth:
"WeIl, well, it We're better for us all
to realize that"
So died-a great man.

Observation-Disclosures

Observation-Disclosures does not
make the mind, but endOws it with
power, and ennobles it; enriches it..
The want of time is undoubtedly
one OF the greatest difficulties to be
overcome in education. And yet 80
little power does this circumstance ex-
ert over a rcsolute mind, that it is
scarcely able to abridge or even retari
its acquisitions. Men of the most ac-
tive habits, and whose pursuits SEEM
ed to preclude all attention to science
and literature, have found time for
writing and study. Some of them
have indeed been the most volumin-
Gus writers of which we have any
knowledge. The writings of BOnaparte
may be given as an instance. 1t is
scarcely conceivable how his active
military life allowed the least time for
correspondence, yet his manuscripts,
which he was the author of if
published entire, would amount to
many hundred volumes; more per-
haps than the united works of VOltaire
and Walter Scott. This is not sola-
tary instance, even in modern times
for the works of General Washington
amounted to seventy large manuscript
volumes; and the King of Prussia,
Frederick the Great, was a great writ
er, and not bad poet. OF the an
clients we refer to Zenophon and Gaze
sar, both of whom were eminent gener-
ais, and equally eminent writers. The
limited time which they could COM
mand was no detriment to their
labOrs. ]. CIR.

The Enquirer of the 18th inst. con-
siderably Inundated Old Seneca by
attributing to her Republican Repre-
sentative in the Legislature Our
county is not represented by Elijah
Glover, but by two veteran Democrats,
John Seitz and Z. T. Stickney, who
east their votes, as all true REPRESENTA-
lives of the people should, against the
ratification of the Fifteenth Amend
ment. Republicans are jubilant over
the ratification, and the ''colored cuss
ftom Africa is putting on ridiculous
airs. A prominent barber of this city
intends giving grand party next
week in honor of the event, and the
joke of it is, the Radicals will all be
compelled to attend it.

liean abOlitionist. His acquaintance
can measure him by that very narrow
rule.
Van didn't think that when he as
serted that the Enquirer Inundated

stIRments into the reform organ
Van had forgotten that the Enquire.
advocated and got up the reform
movement, by which enough Bepub-
licans were elected to adopt the 18th
Amendment, when Hamilton county
gave Pendleton majority. But, then,
we don't believe that Democratic Sen
ecS felt any more humiliated than did
Mr.. Glover to be called Democrat.
Van has got into bad company
but bad as the company is it don't
welcome Van with open arms, and he
is trying to eat dirt sufficient to
cleanse him of the one sin of cleanli-
ness-belonging to the Abolition par
ty. We hope he may succeed.

Sad CasuaIty.-On Monday morn
ing last two children of Isaac Royel
were drowned near Flatrock. One O
his daughters went to school in the
morning and his two sons, aged nine
and fourteen, followed. By time fol
recess the boys had not been at school
and their sister returned home to in
form their parents. Search was i'm
mediately commenced. Mr.. Roger
following the route the boys had TAX.
en-, found their caps on the ice and a
pair of mittens near by. The neigh
bors came, a wagon was run into the
pool, and about three O'clock in the
afternoon the bodies of both boys were
were recovered. They had been in the
water about six hours. The pool wa
formed by a small stream ofwater run
ming from a furTOw into deep hol-
low. The water was about SIX feel
deep, and the area of the pool was not
larger than that of an ordinary room
From the mittens on shore belonging
to the oldest boy, and from the mud
on his boots, it Is inferred that the
Youngest boy broke in while crossing
and that the oldest attempted to wade
to his assistance and was drowned
while endeavoring to save his broth
er's life. Mr.. Roger had previously
buried five sons and these were the
only two remaining.-Bcltcr'fC Ga

FREE TRADE.

We judge that this commodity, now
vexing the quiet current of some
places is at a discount in this vicinity.
The itinerant Brinkerhoff, who hail
from the village of Mansfield, wanted
to come here, and sent on an agent and
some Free Trade Bills in blank. This
agent mOdestly requested that hall
be furnished and the meeting adver-
tised all gratuitOusly. The matter
didn't work and so we have no free
trade talk here.

Some of the Democracy were mad
when the news of the passage of the
18th Amendment reached this city,
Words could not express their indig-
nation at the elevation of the negro.
Oaths of sufficient dimensions could
not be found to cover the case. One
fellow swore for ten minutes-swOre
grammatically, when previous TO that
he had never been able to express one
sentence without grammatical errors.
When he got through, birthstone
could be seen in the corners of his
mouth and blue smoke seemed to is
sue from it. He did the subject more
than Democratic justice. Another
could not bear the idea, and declared
he would leave the country. He will
not do so, for he is a standing candi-
date before Democratic conventions,
and if he sees a chance to ride into Of
flee on the hack of a negro he will
mount.

The evening after the passage of
the 18th amendment by the Ohio
House, the colored people of Cleve-
land attempted to celebrate the event
which was of great Importance to
their manhood. They gathered on the
public square and proceeded to fire a
salnte- The Mayor of the city who
was q Democratic candidate for a
State Office last fall, heard the noise,
fnd Immediately dispatched police
men to put stop TO the rejoicings of
the happy "cattle," which was done
unceremoniOusIy.
We presume that technically, Mayor
Buhrer was right in stopping this re-
jOicing, as there is an ordinance in
Cleveland that makes it necessary to
get permit from his Honor before
any such proceeding can be INDUCED
in. However, we think that in this
case he ought to have poeketed his
insulted dignity and allowed the much
despised and ignorant race to have re-
joieed over their elevation to the right
to be men. His Honor ought TO have
considered who il was that outraged
his dignity, and in the calm superb
orify Of his greatness overlooked it,
He and mis- friends have considered
these men as cattle and so much be-
neath.them as to be unworthy of any
rights which white men are bound to
respect.
We fear that his sHonor was soured-
that the passage of the 18th Amend
ment was thing TOO great for him ts
bear. In that view, We are happv 10 =
assure him and ali who hold his feel
ings, that the Amendment viii soon
be fixed fact, part OF tl1e constitu-
tiOn-and the sooner they drop an
hard feelings towards our new 1nen
and brothers" the better it will be for
the Democratic party.

We suppose we ought to feel in
spired, for as we pencil these lines We
have before us steel engraving of the
Hon. VIM. Mungen, of the Fifth Dis
trict. However, we are not inspired
and while we think the engraving q
fine one, we feel that the artist has
somewhat flattered the author of the
great Reputation Speech.
William was not satisfied with en-
dearing himself to the Democratic
people of his backwoods District, by
advocating in Congress reputation,
but he must needs go to the great ex-
pense of having his portrait engraved
and furnishing it to them that they
might have him always with them
William is laying the ropes for anoth-
er term in Congress, and this is why
he gives his constituents his portrait
he thinks it will fiatter them and
keep his memory green in their
hearts. It viii probably win, for he
IS just the man to speak for the Fifth
District and the people could not get
another such. But it seems to us the
portrait business must be very eXpen-
~ive and really not worth while

Army officers are memOriaIizing
Congress for an increase of pay. Sin
gular as it may seem, this action is not
made for the fun of giving Congress
something TO do, but the fellows are
in dead earnest. They actually want
more pay They seem to consider
themselves badly paid in view of the
amount of brains they have invested
in the business. Perhaps they are
badly paid-perhaps they do not re-
ceive sufficient money for their tram
scendental abilities. If such is the
case we are sorry, and think they had
better embark in some other business.
Certainly the Government cannot af-
ford to pay them more, and the peO-
pie will not hear TO an advance. For
our part we had much rather hear of
their pay being cut down than adj
vanced. Officers that hold themselves
so high are usually notworth so much
TO the service as those more moderate.
The officers pay is high enough.
