LARGO al FACTOTUM.

80 We have never listened to the comic
plants of the Barber of Seville that we
have not thought of the striking compar-
lson between his case and the popular
opinion of the editor of a newspaper
Every mans mani The agent of every
man, except himself, he is the depository
of the complaints and wrongs of all ,and the
General Policeman to secure safety or rep
aration. He is expected to supply all
places from Political counsellor to Public
Scavenger If Smiths hydrant oyerfows,
his neighbor goes to the editor and asks
why he don't ''call attention. to that pool
of water that Smiths hydrant has depos-
tied in front of his house. He don't ask
Smith about it because that would make
trouble. He passes q policeman on his
way to the EDITORS office, but he doesn't
tell him about it. What he wants is to
lay the whole burden, hydrant and all, on
the back of the editor, and then he feels
relieved 1t has gotten into his head that
he supports. " as he calls it, his favorite
journal. and in return he expects that all
his grievances shall be aired through its
columns. And, when his neighbor's hyd-
rant isn't wrong, he has time to give the
editor his views about matters generally
and to express his surprise that the editor
lacks independence or Judgment OF back
bone to utter them in print. And the
worst of all is that the newspapers have
created this annoyance for themselves.
,JJ that
their readers are 'spatrons,' ir the sense
of the paper being published in way tc
meet their appreciation; in fact, they
have almost taught theelesson themselves.
1t will be a long time before they can un-
learn their over willing pupils. Your tru.
ly independent paper is the only reformer
in this respect. 1t travels on its own mer-
it's as journal, and does not need the
s'support" of.any man--indeed it would DO
it no good. No amount of Support" can
keep paper up which is not self-support,
ing. A good paper conducted on business
principles should be as exempt from prl-
yate suggestions about it's affairs as the
merchant is, and it's editor should treat
them with the same Indifference tina the
successful grocer does the business sug
gestions of the man who whites sticks on
his cracker barrel. In other matters-po-
litical for instance. twenty years eXpe-
rience has taught us that the opinions Of
men that are valuable are very hard to get
but those that are worth little are as plen
tiful as blackberries. We can hardly rec
ollect dozen instances where the opinion
of disinterested man, that was worth
having, has been volunteered.

lHE ELOPEMENT PARTY.-The elope-
ment and arrest in Richmond of Mrs.
Wocd and her son-in-law, Yore, of Ports
mouth, has been mentioned They were
carried back to Portsmouth and acquitted
OF the charges for which they were arrest
ed. The Portsmouth enterprise" says ::
Mrs. Wood returned to the home of her
husband, on Paradise creek. On Tues
gay night, Mr. John Wood thought his
old woman needed a little wholesome
castlgation, and, i'll order to carry out his
inflammatory intention, he procured a
1our-foot horse-whip and pitched into her
vigorously. The result was general row
in the household, all hands in the family
taking a part. Mrs. Wood got seriously
bruised, but gave her husband pretty good
evidence of her combative powers. The
next night Mrs. Wood eloped again with
Yore and now they are safe in Balti-
more.

of the colored Baptists of this neigllbor-
hood met at Arlington yesterday to exam
inc into the numerous charges that have
lately been made against the Rev. r. S.
Laws, pastor of the church in that village.
The chief cause of complaint against him
was his Beecher proclivities, for which he
was reprmanded, and upon his apologizing
to the numerous injured Tiltons, the diff
cuIties were smootlled over, and the Fright
hand Of fellowship was extended to him
again. How much better would it have
been for all parties if Plymouth church
had acted as did the church at Arlington.

THE LAST MOMENTS OF REV. DIR:

who was so well known and loved in
Staunton. II says:
He had gone to Jordan's White Sulphur
Springs in the Valley of Virginia, in a
fiuitlesS endeavor to recruit his failing
health. AT the close Of his sojourn there
he visited the house Of a brother minister.
Rev E. f. Iletp:ick, of the Baltimore
Conference, expecting in IL day OF two to
return to his home iii the city OF Balti-

val at Brother Heterick'S he became so ut

and blessed with the tender, unWearied

writer to stand by the bedside Of cur de-

privilege it was truly For his DEATH
chamber seemed to be Gle Sc to the door
way of our Fathers House. He talked
freely of his hope and assurance in Christ
and the blissful Home which he was about
to enter The name Of Jesus dwelt upon
his lips. Precious words of Scripture and
lines of hymns which he had long been ia
miliar with and loved were the vehicles by
which he conveyed to the sorrowing
friends that stood around his couch his
bright hope Of eternal life. When it was
asked him, ''Do you know me, Brother
Baird 2" he replied very earnestly, Eyes.
and know Jesus. my Saviour" He was
told that a number of the preachers wish
ed to be remembered to him: he said,
Give my warmest Christian love to all
the members of the Baltimore Confer
ence.n When he had become so feeble
as to be unable to articulatt distinctly he
was requested to raise his hand if AL was
well; Immediately his hand was uplifted.
1t was his dying testimony to the love IF
