OBITUARY..

DIED.-on june 9Th, at her resi-,
denCe on Chop Fork, BaxtOn county,
Mrs. NANCY A. WlLLTANs, wife OIL
George Williams, aged SO years.
The subject of this notice in early
life guye her heart to God, and united
with tue NJ. L. Church, This was III
the year 1888. She was the mother Of
two sons and four daughters, Eve Of
whom remain to mourn her loss, and
to attest by their Christian lives the
controlling influence Of tho life and ex-
ample Of a PiOus mother. One daugh.
ter went before her, we trust, to the
better land. Truly her children can
rise up aud call her blessed. Z. was
the privilege ofthe writer to know Sis.
ter Williams well during the last 10
years of her life, and she was a woman
Of more than ordinary intelligence, Of
sound discriminating judgment, and
able to give wise and judiriOus counsel
to her children. Though suffering
most Of the time from feeble health, yet
there was something in her presence
aud conversation calculated to inspire
with strength and courage those around
her. Quiet and unobtrusiye in all her
ways, yet no one could be long 10 her
company without! recognizing the in
tesrity and strength OF her character.
She was n faithful wife, wise and
loving molhcr-in a word, true
woman. During her long suffering Of
that terrible disease, Consumption, she
was fully conscious Of her condition,
and INDUCED in no dOlusiye hope of
life: for she knew full we'll that her
days wero numbered, and while sub.
mltting moekly to the will Of God, her
active mind was ever planning for the
future comfort Of her family. AT one
timc she said it was difficult for her to
realize tho fact that she was passing
away. She seemed to think that some
calamity was impending, aud not re-.
aliziug at once the nature Of it. In
the last days Of her life. her spiritual
sky seemed clear, and she would fro
qucntly say al do not know what my
Father Is going to do with NE. il he
docs not take mo home" Her end was
peaceful, Ans 81 sleeps in Jesus. To
the bsraaYel ins,fy my heartfelt SYM
palhis. al ;.soritl. L, II. U.

ET Tns "0LD DOMINION" The
term "old Dominion" as applied to
Virginia. is said to havs originated from
the following facts:
During the prOtectorate OfCrOmwcll,
the colony Of Virginia refused to &C.
knowledge Ills authority, and sent to
Flanders for Charles II to como and
reign over them. Charles accepted,
aud was about to embark, when he was
recalled to the throne Of England.
After bis accession, as a reward TO Viz.
giuia for her loyalty, he allowed that
colony to quarter the arms Of England,
ireland Mud Scotland with its own,
showing her to be member Of the
"old Dominion" The historical facts
one which this Is based seem well
founded, and such is said to be the
origin oftho term, Us applied originally
TO the colony and now TO the State.

New-York tribune., 1872-12-09
EROM WONAN.

In the loud and universal mourning for Mr..
Greeley which followed the sudden announce
ment of his death, there was one class that
from the very nature of things was silent-the
women of the country-by whom we do not mean
the few who find constant utterance for them
selves to the public but the great masses of
quiet home-oving wives and mothers, whose
influence more than political issues, or laws,
or battles is molding the present and future
happiness or misery of the nation. We are
almost surprised to learn now from countless
sources how thoroughly he was appreciated
by American women, and how well they un-
derstood the position he held as their truest
friend, their voluntary representative and
spokesman among the political leaders
of the day. We are glad to find, for
the sake Of women, that SO few Of
them were incapable of comprehending the
man and his position. Years ago, before suf-
frage or any other political rights were claimed
for her, Horace Greeley saw the need and
took up the cause of the weak woman beside
him, Who, with hungry brain and heart (and
too often stomach), had her empty hands tied
and shaclled, just as he saw the need and
took up the cause of the slave or the enligrant
or the starving SOutherner, or any other of
his needy human brethren. No man since his
Master had n keener eye for suffering, among
Gods creatures, tenderer hand of sympathy,
or so-ndor practical views to bring to its
relief.
The real want of women Mr. Greeley then
saw and declared was, first of all, that new
careers should be opened to them, by which
not only use should be found for whatever
ability God had given them, but an honest
livelihood being insured, all temptation, not
only to dishonOr but to mercenary marriage,
would be removed. TO good work of woman
as of man, good wages. Political rights, he
thought, were but a side issue to this imme-
date need, and so held to the last No man
in the country labored more zealousy or sue
cessfully than Horace Greeley to open new
fields of work for women; no man was
more ready to pay them literally. But
aside from these questions OF their outdoor
life, the women of the country hasten now to
him to have been their friend in
another and deeper sense No man had
profounder faith in woman, in her truth and
honor; no American ever stationed, himself
with the strength and earnestness Of Horace
Greeley u:on the threshold Of om family life,
New-York tribune., 1872-12-09

TO defend tho sanctity OF marriage, the honor
of the wifo and tho rights of the mother.
A curious feature in that unprecedented
wonderful outbreak of sorrow last week which
swept over tho whole country was the per-
sonal tenderness with which his nane was
uttered by those who have never known him.
1t was not, after all, the statesman, nor the
editor. nor even tho humanitarian for whom
tho people mourned these have fallen away
and left the man. In the Pennsylvania farm
house, by the firesidc in the settlers cabin IN
Oregon. "old Horace had grown to be the
friend and companion of years to those who
never saw his face, dead or living.
A man Just to slave and slave
holder, though such justice should ruin
his own life: man so tender that
little children would be glad TO bear him COM
pany; a puro man, whose hand any woman
would be honOred in tho touching; such q
man men knew him to be who never heard
his voice. IL is no wonder that women, with
their subtler intuitions, knew it also, and that
to-day in the quiet homes Of the country his
dead wife and mourning daughters arc spoken
OF with dim eyes and bated breath, and that
he is sOrrOwed for aS dear benefact0r and
friend.
81 cannot go to his funcralt> one mother
writes to us, but some day | hope to lead
"my little boy to his grave and pray there that
"God may make him sI.ch a man." 1t matters
little what monument is reared above Horace
Greeley. Such tears and such faith in him
will keep his grave green forever.
New-York tribune., 1872-12-09
docs not show theso perpetually recurring
idiOsyncracics of government.

We should naturally expect Gen. Butler TO
be foremost in any scheme of revenge on
those Congrossmen who supported the Liberal
ticket last Summer. lie is good hater, and
all considerations of public policy and party
magnammity 60 down before his desire to
ret even with his adversaries. SO it is re-
ported that the General intends to unsettle
the decision which the House made when 1t
refused to accept Gen. Bankss resignation OF
his Craftsmanship, and will insist on having
the Speaker revise some of the Committees,
for the sake of ousting q few Liberal Re
pubhcans What q joke it would be IL the
Speaker should revise the Committees without
ejecting tho Liberals. Gen. Butler forgets
that House Committees are not mado up I'D
caucus. His personal experience with the
Speaker should quicken his memory.
