In the city Of Washington, on the 9th of Sep
TENDER, Mrs. Virginia Shirley Bates, in the TWEEN
ty-ninth year Of her age.
The subject OF this brief notice was q lady Of
more than ordinary loneliness Of character She
was beautiful in her person, and as lovely in her
disposition as she was attractive in her appear
ance. She commanded the respect and even az
lection OF all who had the happiness to apprehend
her worth and to enjoy her confidence. No word
ever escaped her lips which was calculated to
wound the most sensitive nature, while she was
scrupulously careful in the intelligent discharge
Of every duty which God, in His providence, had
devolved upon her. HerreYerence for her parents
who were assiduOus in their endeaYoTs to minis
ter to her comfort and that Of her four now moth
erless children, distinguished her perhaps more
than any other characteristic OF which she could
boast. She was frank as we'll as generous; was
devoted to the interests Of religion instant in
season and out Of season in the discharge Of her
duties as q member OF the Church Of Christ; died
as she had lived, an exemplary Christian; was q
dutiful daughter and an anxious mother.
Death loves a shining mark"
Her remains repose in Oak Hill cemetery, where
sorroWing relatives and friends bore her, peace
fully to repose until that day when the silence and
secrecy Of the grave shall be broken by the sound
Of the archangels trump.
The funeral services, conducted by Rev. Mr..
Owen and Rev. Mr.. Cleveland, were singularly
impressive.
Leaves have their time to fall, and flowers to
fade at the north winds blast bat thou, o Death,
hath all seasons for thine own" J. Z. T.

WHAT SHALL WE DO WITH OUR SURPLUS PoPU-
LATIoN2
To the Editor of the National Republican:
SIR: In reply to the Invitation of ~. W. O."
published in your Issue of October to cooperate
with the Boston Colonization Association, have
to say that while recognize the practicabllity Of
their scheme, and sincerely hope that it will be
crowned with complete success, yet as my ability
to assist in peeuniary way is limited, and as
"charity should begin at home" deem It my
FIRST duty, as 3 resident Of Washington, to devote
my energies and what means can spare to the
furtherance Of her interests in this particular,
and surely city in the country stands in greater
need of some such action as has been suggested.
The unprecedented prevalence OF crime In our
community IS without doubt traceable, either
directly OF Indirectly, to the fact that our city
harbors many thousands who have no legitimate
employment, and who consequently prey upon the
erable existence. Are we to wonder, then, that
in their efforts to keep soul ~ and body together
they commit offences against the law, and that,
among other crimes, arson and murder are OF such
frequent occurrence? Are we to wonder that our
iail-upWards Of two hundred and seventy incar-
cerated there noW-and our wOrkhouse are both
constantly on the increaseP Can one block In this
city be trayersed without meeting one or more
whose appearance indicate want and degradation2
Go to court any day and you will md It hlled with

Of Congress they can be seen occupying the most
of the seats in either House Of Congress. have

ton Of race or color.
have made the suggestion merely with the
hope that other pens than mine, and men Of
greater influence than myself, would lend them
selves to the furtkerance Of some scheme for the
relief Of the class in question; for unless some
thing is done, and that speedily, the desperate
condition Of these people will make them still
greater terror than they now are, and the tnse-
curity for life or property In the Capital OF the
United States which should in every respect be
the model city Of our great Republic, will be
fearfully enhanced.
It seems to me that move in the right dlrec-
ton would be to organize, through convention or
otherwise, q District Of Columbia Colonization
Association, special care being taken In selecting
the officers Of the same, to appoint only our most
trusted ctiZens-such men as Oorcoran and
Riggs-Whose very names would be guarantee
to the people that their contributions would not
be misapplied. 1t is not unlikely that Congress
might render some aid in the matter, either by
an appropriation Of money or grant OF land

THE COLUMBAY UNIVERSITY LAW
GTROOT

We are glad to learn that the various schools
Of the Columbian University have opened this
year with classes larger than at any former period
in the history Of the institution. Among the de-
partments which have always been the most
furnishing is its law school, whose advertisement
may be found in another column. The recognized
ability Of its Instructors and the fuIlness of its
courses will Eufice TO explain the very large pat
rOnage with which It has been honOred for SO
many years, until its graduates, now numbering
nearly thousand, may be found in every depart.
ment Of the Government, and in nearly every
State Of the Union.
During the coming year Walter S. Cox ESQ.,
an eminent member Of the Washington bar Will
take the place formerly filled by Prof. John O.
Kennedy. Mr.. Cox will make some remarks at
the opening Of the school on Wednesday after
noon next, when, as we understand, AR. Kennedy
will also be present to meet his former pupils
among the Undergraduate class as well as among
the resident alumni, who are invited to be pres
ent, together with new students. 1t is already
ascertained that q prosperous year awaits the

CONSUMPTION CAN BE CURED.
SCHRNCK's PULMoNIC SYRUP,
SCHENCK's SEA WEED Tonic,
SCHENCK'S MANDRAKE PILLS,
Are the only medicines that will cure Pulmonary
Consumption.
Frequently medicines that will stop a cough
will occasion the death Of the patient; they lock
up the liver, stop the circulation of the blood,
hemorrhage follows, and, in TACT, they clog the
action of the very organs that caused the cough.
Liver Complaint and Dyspepsia are the causes
Of two thirds Of the cases of Consumption. Many
persons complain of a dull pain in the side, con-
stipation, coated tongue, pain in the shoulder
blade feelings Of droWsiness and restlessness the
food lying heavily on the stomach, accompanied
with aeidity and belehing up Of wind.
These SYMPTOMS usually originate from disor-
dered condition Of the stomach or torpid liver.
Persons so affected, If they take one or two
heavy colds, and II the cough in these cases be
suddenly checked, will find the stomach and liver
clogged, remaining torpid and inactive, and
almost before they are aware the lungs are q
mass of sores, and liberated, the result Of which
Schenck's Pulmonie Syrup is an expeetorant
which does not contain opium or anything ealeu-
lated to check a cough suddenly.
Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic dissOlVes the food,
mixes with the gastric juices of the stomach, aids
digestion and creates q rayenOus appetite.
When the bowels are costive, skin sallOw, or
the symptoms otherwise Of bilious tendency,
Sehenck's Mandrake Pills are required.
These medicines are prepared only by
J. H. SCHENCK & Son,
NE. cor. Sixth and Arch sts., Philadelphia.
And are for sale by all druggists and dealers.
