Obituary.

EVANS.-VINToN EVANS, son of John
and Mary Evans, was born in Gallia
county, Ohio, April 24th, 1920. He was
the youngest of ten children, all Of
whom, with the father and mother, have
passed away, save John j. Evans, limo
thy and Mrs. Markham.
Eight Years ago he went to Kansas, and
was married to Miss Sarah Lewis. About
four years ago his health began to de-
cline, which continued to battle the best
medical skill Of the country, yet anxious
TO remain with his friends Il few years
longer, in the spring 1873 he visited the
wilds of Colorado, hoping by the enjoy
ment of its rural scenery he might re-
gain his health, but his feeble health led
him to return home, which he reached
only three weeks before his death. At
8 o'clock A. NJ, the 25th of November,
he bid adieu to earthly friends. His last
request to a weeping wife was that he
might be brought back and laid by the
side of his numerous friends in the fam
lily burying ground. Knowing about
what time it would take his wife to reach
the home of his bOyhOOd, he requested
ahoVld be preached, and then his remains
to be given to his brother Mas0ns and
Odd Fellows. The day was stGFmY,
yet a very large congregation assembled
ut the house of his brother, Timothy,
near Centreville. After the funeral SER
vices were closed his body was laid away
with Masonic bOnOrs, to await the final
call of the Master in the Great Day Of ac-

The Surrender-tlIe Virginius
on her way to an American
port.
On the 18th, the Virginius with
her surviving crew were delivered 10
the representatives of the United
States, by the Spanish authorities
the vessel at Bohia Honda, and the
crew at Santiago de Cuba. The cor
respondent of the N. I. Tribune,
who was present, gives the following
particulars:
The fast steam yacht Dispatch was
selected to receive the Virginius, and
Captain Whiting, of the Worcester,
was designated to command her. He
was accompanied by Lieutenant
Adolph Mariax, Master George A.
Calhoun, and Assistant Engineer n
Fl. Lamdin. The crew consisted of
thirty nine men from the Pawnee.
The dispatch boat sailed from Key
West Sunday, and reached Bahia
Honda about noon on Monday.
On Tuesday morning punctuallY as
the bells on the Dispatch struck for
9 o'clock, and before the echo had
died away. the American flag few to
the flagstaff of the Virgiuius, and at
the same moment a boat containing
Captain Whiting and Lieutenant Ma
riax put away from the Dispatch
As they ascended the accommoda-
ton ladder of the Virginius, a single
man on deck, who proved to be
Senior De la Camars, advanced and
made a salute. The officers then read
the respective instructions, and Cap
tain De la Camara remarked that 10
obedience to the requirement OF his
Government he had the honor to
turn over the steamer Virginius to
American authorities
Captain Whiting accepted, and as
certaining that q receipt would be
acceptable, gave one. A word or
two more was civilly spoken, and
the Spaniard stepped over the side,
signaled to his oarsmen, and in ten
minutes was again upon the deck of
his own vessel. having discharged
with becoming dignity the unpleasant
duty imposed upon him by his Gov
eminent.
This, it Is believed, dissipates the
war cloud. In its negotiations and
in its results it is conceded to be one
of the greatest diplomatic victories
in our history.

from Havana that serious compiled

CORRESPONDENCE.
For the Gallipolis Journal.


How now, Joice. What do you mean
by all this artful maneuvering? When
/ said you left the JOURNAL last spring,
| al sure l had your word for it; and
when you gathered yourself up and de-
clared your intention of leaving, | did
not suppose you would go far or remain
away very long. Indeed l felt all the
while a sort of instructive knowledge
that you were stealthily lurking in some
secluded nook, not far off, and although
| thought it a strange whim of my
"Aunt Joyce" to take such an abrupt
departure, (at a time too when the mea-
sizes were raging oil every hand,) |
thought it best to humor her whims a
little, and accordingly sent her off. and
had almost numbered her among the
things of the past, when she suddenly
appears among us, in the same old rig,
with slight repairs,) and says she did
not go away, but was all the summer
and fall in her ''shady corner" and
meekly denies any feeling of enmity
towards NEON the contrary she pro-
fesses to pity and love me. Now this is,
to say the least, a very strange proceed
ing.
Why did you seclnde yourself in the
''corner" so long? Were you spinning
webs to catch flies? l saw a treacherous
old spider once, aim to nsnar a fly,
when she caught a bee instead, and the
consequence was, her beautiful web was
spoiled, and the bee was released UNI
harmed. But what were you doing in
the "corner?" l saw a sly old cat one
day, crouching in a shady corner, from
whence she pounced forth upon an I'M
suspecting mouse; but strange to say
she made a clumsy failure. The mouse
passed on, and notwithstanding all the
well-feigned overtures of good feeling
which the old cat afterwards advanced,
the mouse stood aloof, and regarded that
cat as. her worst enemy; although she
settled back in the corner, closed her
eyes piously, and smiled softly, and
purred ever sc gently-the mouse was
wary of the "shady corner" because it
had seen a sharp claw protruding there
from a velyety paw.

EThe Secretary of the Treasury
finds that the revenues will not meet
the expenses of the government by
over forty millions, and he has ap-
pealed TO Congress for additional
taxation to fill the deficiency. Con
gress seems adverse to increasing
taxation, and proposes instead q re-
duction of expenses. The plan OF
Congress is the much better of the
two. 1t seems to US that forty mil
lions, and perhaps much more, can
be Topped off without injury to the
public service. This is not a good
time for increased taxation. The de-
mands of the people are for less of
these burdens, instead of for more.
