The Surrender of the Virginius.

It is fortunate every way, fortunate for this
country and fortunate for Spain, that we have
escaped the danger which at one time seemed
SO imminent. For Spain to have gone to war
now would have been madness and ruin; and
for our Government to have been forced into
war would have been great national calamity
But our Government was bound to demand re-
paration, and to enforce the demand if not
complied with. It is true the Virginius was a
filibuster which deserved no protection; that
she abused the flag under which she sailed. 1t
was not for her sake, but for the safety OF
American ships engaged in innocent commerce,
that we were constrained to make the inviola-
bility of our flag respected. Why may not the
SONS and brothers of Il murdered man seize and
hang the murderer? He had forfeited his life
and deserved to pay the forfeit. But if the
principle were once admitted that O murdercr's
life NAV be taken by the first conner or by in
censed relatives, innocence would have no eff
fectual protection. The avenger being made
the sole Judge of the proof, every mans life
would be at the mercy of the suspicious or pas
sions of his foes; and the law accordingly pro.
te,ts the life of an untried murderer with as
much care as that of the most innocent citizen
This nation holds that its flag shall be com
pete security to every ship which it has au-
thorized to carry it, because If other nations
were permitted to judge of the title. every
American ship would be exposed to foreign
surveillance and interruption OH the seas. we
accordingly make the decks of our merchant
ships as sacred as the water of our harbors, and
resent the violation of our flag as promptly az
we would the violation of our territory

DEATH OF Col. DENT, THE PRESIDENTS
FATHER-IS-LAw.-Col. Frederick Dent, the
father of Mrs. Grant, died at the Presidential
mansion, Washington, just before midnight on
Monday, the 18th inst. His death was not un-
expected, as he had been in feeble health for
some time past. He complained Of being un-
we'll during the day on Monday, but no alarm
ing symptoms were apparent until short time
before his death, which occurred without
struggle.
Mr.. Dent was native of Frederick, Md. He
was in his SSth year, having been born October
6. 1876. He removed to Missouri in 1912, and
resided either in or near the city Of St. Louis
until 1865, when he came to Washington, and
has ever since been member of the Presidents
family, remaining at the White House during
the winter season, and in the summer accom-
panying his son-in-law and daughter to Long
Branch.
The old gentleman was quite character in
his way; a genial, social man, who honestly
spoke his opinions. He belonged to the olden
time Maryland and Virginia school of politics,
and stuck to these principles to the last. Ha
frequently amused himself by sitting in the an
te-room or office of the White House watching
the numerous asplrants tor ofhcial favors as
they came to press their claims, and making
QUAINT TCHlitTkS NIlH iSS"io w llO
rants" as he termed the otticeseekers
Not even his surroundings could shake his
political convictions, aud when the fifteenth
amendment became portion Of the law of the
land, he declaimed violently against it, and
said "the confoundcd radicals would be sorry
for it some day or other" He boasted that he
had voted for every democratic President from
the time he had attained the right to vote,
with the exception of Buchanan, of whom he
was not in favor Previous to the war he took
great interest in the success of his party, and
for years attended the Presidential Inaugural
tions. Though strong partisan, he never
held or sought any judicial position, prefefring,
rs he said, the private station.
!!e kept open house at his homestead near
St. Louis, and at which place the President,
then lieutenant in the Fourth United States
Infantry, stationed at Jefferson barracks, in the
vicinity, first met Miss Dent aid afterwards
married her. The farm, considerably enlarged
by the purchase of adjoining tracts, is now the
property of President Grant, and it is under
stood will be his future home after he lays
aside the cares Of Office.

DEATH OF PROF. AGAssIz.-Prok ssor Louis
Agassiz, the most distinguished naturalist of
America, and highly appreciated in the scien-
tifc circles of the entire world, departed this
life in Boston on Sunday night, l4th oil Decem-
Der, in the 9th year of his age, from the
effect of paralysis, induced by cerebral conges-
tion His ancestors were of French origin,
but Agassiz was native Of Switzerland where
he was born on the 2Sth of May, 1907. In
1918 he entered the Gymnasium of Benne, and
in 1922 was removed to the Academy of Lau-
same as rewarded for his proficiency in sci
ence. He subsequently studied medicine and
the cxper mental sciences at Zurich, Heidel-
burg and Munich, at which last university
the degree of M. D. was conferred upon him.
Afterwards, in Paris, he won the friendship OF
Humboldt and Curvier, and on returning to
Switzerland was appointed Professor of Natu-
raj History at the College of Neufchatcl. He
published in Europe several scientific works,
one of which, "Studies of Glaciers" was re-
ceived with the most hattering interest. In
1916 Mr. Agassiz embarked for this country to
assume the position Of Professor of Zoology
and Geology at the Lawrence Scientific School
1t was not long before he assumed a prominent
position among the scientific men in America
and for many years past his name has been on
every tongue. He WAS an enthusiastic devotee
to study and research and not only this country
but the world, owe much to the results of his
explorations and skill. At the time of his
death he was member of all of the scientific
academies in Europe, and had repeatedly re-
fused the offer of positions abroad. He was
one of the most remarkable men of the age,
and scientific men everywhere will mourn his
loss.

THE INCEST WIDOW IN THE
BLUE GRASS REGION.

Not far from the forks Of Elkhorn lived
the pretty little Widow Fauntlcroy, and one
of her nearest neighbors was Gen. Peyton.
The general had looked upon the little widow
very much as he did upon his booded horse
Powhattan--" the finest horse, sir, in the
Blue Grass region"
The pretty little Mrs, Fauntleroy had been
q widow more than a year, while the gener-
al, having great regard for etiquette, had
waited patiently for that time to elapse in
order to declare himself. But the widow,
with her woman's art, kept her lover at bay,
and yet kept him in her train. He had es-
corted her to this barbecue, and when re.
turning had expressed his satisfaction at the
prospect Of Gen. Combs and the success Of
the wing party.
The widow took sides with the democracy,
and offered to wager her blooded saddle
horse, Gypsey or anything else on her place,
against Powhattan, or anything else she
might fancy on the generals place. The
generals gallantry would not allow him to
refuse the wager, which he promptly accept
ed. BY this time they had reached the north
fork Of Elkhorn, and were about to ford il
bridges were not plentiful in those days.
when John Peyton, the generals only son
aud heir, came up at sharp gait behind
them.
The widow turned and bowed to John, and
rode on into the stream, but little behind

And the flowers Of vanished spring-time
Shall bloom in the spirits track.

Religious.
FAITH versus DOGMA.

Is no man to be admitted to grace who
does not know how the Father differs from
the Son, and both from tho Spirit or how
the nativity of the Son differs from the pro-
cession of the Spirit? Unless l forgive my
brother his sins against me, God will not
forgive me my sins, Unless have pure
heart, unless | put away envy, hate, pride,
avarico and lust, shall not see God. But
a man is not damned because he cannot tell
whether the Spirit has one principle Or two.
Has he the fruits of the Spirit2 That is the
question. Is he patient, kind, good, modest,
temperate, chaste2 Inquire il you will, but
do not define. True religion is peace and
we cannot have peace unless We have the
conscience unshackled on obscure points on
which certainty is impossible. We hear
now of questions being referred to tho next
~cumenical council better a great deal re.

fer them to doomsday. Time was when
mans faith was looked for in his life, not in
articles which he professed. Necessity first
brought articles upon us, and ever since we
have refined and refined until Christianity
has become a thing Of words and creeds.
Articles increase, sincerity vauishes away
contention grows hot, and charity grows cold
Then comes in the civil power with stake

what they do not believe, to pretend to love
what in fact they bate, and to say they un-
dorstand what has no meaning for them

Self-renunciation is, at last, but the sub.
stitution Of one motive power for another, or
a higher for lower. A spiritual and moral
feeling sense of justice of disinterosted
love, of dutifulness, rises to such fulness
that it foods the mind, and so submerges the
lower selfish feeling, that the self, the whole
self, now under control of the higher self,
is grah6ed, and enjoys a liveliness and hap
piness Of being only to be obtained through
such control. When the balance is struck,
no loss, no sacrifice is registered, but, on the
contrary, acquisition. There has been no
violence, no suppression; there has been a
harmonizing through natural adaptation, and
thence an elevation, elimination Goethe.
