The proposed educational amendment to the
Constitution, which Mr.. Blaine has introduced
in the House. is so reasonable and 30 proper
that some of the Independent" Democratic
journals are urging its unanimous passage
through Congress. They join in tile words OF
the New York Herald, and say to the Democrat
ic majo ity in the House; 'Your true policy is
to take Mr.. Blaine at his word, adopt his amend
ment, that is in principle sound, and thus dis
arm him and his party Of formidable weapon
in tho next campaign" We shall see, in the
course of not very long time, whether such ad-
vice be taken. If it be, it will be strong proof
of the earnest feeling of the American people
in behalf of public non-sectarian Education. 1t
will be notice to all, of whatever degree or occu-
pation-Bourbon Statesmen, ecclesiastical and
foreign foes-that the schools are beyond safe
attack from any quarter, whether it be made
openly or insidiously. Let the amendment pass,
by all means; let the Democratic majority in the
House take it up cordially, as they are advised
TO do; and we PROMISE on our part, to give them
due credit for their action. Will they do it

Senator Morton's resolution to investigate the
outrages of the Mississippi election does not
meet Democratic approval. or course not. The
House proposes to smell around all the Depart
ments, with-according to Mr.. Luttrell-no less
than fifty special committees, but the develop
ment Of the atrocities and frauds whereby the
colored voters of Mississippi were terrorized and
cheated is investigation OF sort not desired.
Yesterday, in the the Senate, Mr.. Thurman and
Mr.. Bayard especially /" reared and pitched. -
They went in strongly on States Rights. The
Senate had no authority for such an investga-
tion. 1t would be time enough to undertake it
when the Senator elected by the Legislature
chosen at the recent election came to claim a
seat. Mr.. Morton, however, made pertinent
and rather conclusive rejoinder on this, by show
ing that the investigation into the election in
Louisiana was favored by Messrs Bayard and
Thurman before any Senator's credentials were
offered in the Senate. 1t seems those gentle.
men have one law for Louisiana and another for
Mississippi.

of many years! Many and pleasant
have been the hours of intercourse with
him. Much good advice, in the love
he bore us, has he given US. Few weeks
ever passed without either receiving a
letter or communication from him,
the bold and black chirography telling
us plainly whence it came. In some
few matters we differed; but the dit
ference was as nothing in comparison
with the thousand agreements: and
now we are left, no more to hear his
CHEEKY voice, or to read his wise and
weighty sentences.
He loved the truth of Christs Cos
pei. 1t was to him his daily meat and
drink. To him to live was Christ. He
loved Christ, he trusted in Christ, he
had no other hope but Christ; Christ to
him was all in all. He never could be
moved from the simple gospel-salva-
ton for all men, through Christs atone
ment, to be received by faith! Other
matters were important; but this was
the essential thing. This he preached,
and this he talked about. He never
was moved away from it. AS he loved
Christ, so he loved every disciple Of
Christ, no matter OF what name, or
what color, or what position.
1t has pleased our Heavenly Father
to remove him from the Church on
earth; and He never makes mistakes,
He allowed him to work until the end.
In bodily and intellectual strength,
working up to the very end, it has
pleased our Lord to take him from us
a prince in Israel Given SO, Father,
for so it seemed good in Thy sight"
But Christ is alive. He loves His
Church, and will not permit it to fail of
its great purpose, The workmen die,
but the work goes on. And if the man
tie Of our brother beloved can fall upon
those of lis he left behind, if we can
oatch his love for Christ and Christ S
gosple, if his wisdom can be given to
us, he will not have died in vain.
To his wife and children any words
Of ours would be impertinent. Let
tbem know they comprised not all that
loved him. To his parish, that he ser
we'd for a third of century-may they
remember the words he spoke when
present with them. To his many friends
in Virginia and elsewhere-may they
follow him as he followed Christ.

shun, 0 Shun the TippIer's Bowl.

Please, dear friends, give your attention
There are perils just ahead
Perils ofa foes invention,
All along life's journey spread!
Would you shun them? Then beware
Of that tempter's vile control,
Who, unseen, alert and chary,
Turks within that sparkling bowl!
Are you wishing earthly treasure,
As the fruit Of toll and care?
Is your aim at that high measure,
Where the good and hOnored are9
Would you shun the shame and sorrow
OF stained and guilty soul?
Would you stand erect tomorrow!
Shun! 0 shun! the tippler's bowl!
Would you be in such condition
Should your fellows so demand
AS to take some high position
In the councils Of the land!
Know that if the State or Nation
Wants you on her honored roll,
OUc cSScHlldl pi iCpdiaetoh
Is to shun the drunkard's bowl!
Would YOU shun sad selfrehcctiOn,
When the ills of life assail?
Caused, perchance, by retrospection,
When, alas, of no avail?
Enter not the rum kings palace,
Where his menials pay their tolls;
Nor dare touch the poisoned chalace,
Rightly named the "maddening bowl!'
Would you be by peace attended,
When retiring 'dust to dust:"
Would YOU share when life is ended,
All the pleasures of the just?
Then heed not the tempter's wooing,
Though he flatter and cajole;
He but seeks your souls undoing
BY the serpent in the bowl!
By the ties of sons and brothers!
BY the hope of bouyant youth!
BY the love of loving mothers!
Bv your faith in heavens truth!
By whatever you may cherish!
BY your manhood's noblest goal
Would you not all these should perish,
Shun! o shun! the damning bowl!
Dare neglect this friendly warning!
Dare reject with scorn and jeers!
Then, though fair may be your warning
Dark will be your coming years!
For there's naught than this more certain
Such as take the rum kings toll,
Though behind crimson curtain,
Find destruction in the bowl!

Kinewood, the present county seat
Of Preston, was named by the early en-
iorants travelling west along the old
State road, leading from Winchester TO
Marietta, in consequence of the lofty
timber that grew in and near the site OF
the present town. The town then con-
sisted of but two honscs, one occupied
by a man by the name Of Sheets the
other Ly halter named Fulton, who
claimed to be a near relative, il not .
brother of the celebrated Fulton Of
steamboat not0riety.

The funeral of Mrs. Eliza Ford a lady
who weighed between 500 and GOO
pounds, took place the other day from
her residence, Eighteenth and Hamilton
street, Philadelphia. Her history has
been very peculiar. Seventeen years
ago last Thanksgiving Day, Mrs. Ford,
who then resided at Darby, wasengaged
in pouring out tea for some guests who
had been spending the afternoon with
her. Suddenly she ceased, her arms
dropped 10 her side, and from that time
to the present she has been powerless.
She has been powerless. She then took
to her bed, and has remained there until
she died, requiring as much attention
and care as an infant. To make matters
worse she because exceedingly stout, and
her weight increased until her arms aud
extremities were said to he double the
size Of those of an ordinary person in
good health. She weighed at least 800
pounds, and it required four men to lift
her from her bed. With extreme diff
Guilty the corpse was brought down
stairs, and laid out in case measuring
thirty-six inches across. There being no
support sufficiently strong to bear its
weight, it was laid upon the floor, and
at the funeral the case was placed side
ways on rollers, and taken out through
the front door.

temptations and sins. He saw (and
who shall say he did not see greatly
right!) that the weakness OF the Church
and Religion is largely due to- the gradu.
al lowering of a high standard OF
Christian living, and the worldliness OF
Christian people. Fixed in his faith,
he was equally fixed in his ideas OF du-
ty, as the uncompromising acceptance
of the law of Christ. a character So
fixed and salient, and an Intellect so
strong and clear, could not fail to have
made their posSessor a man OF wide In
huence. His words were mighty words.
On the floor of General Convention no
man received more close attention. Be
hind the words stood the man himself.
1t was not mere eloquence or argument;
it was character that spoke.
In the schools of thought or ''parties
of the Church, DIR. Andrews was, all
his life,> a "Low-C -Churchman. In the
struggle of parties, he was behind none
in his zeal; and it could not fail but
that he should meet the results Of such
struggles.
We only knew him personally in the
last three years lie had sottened
much In his views of old contests. We
learned to love the man, as wise and
true, brave and tender; though we diff
tered from him widely.
He was frequent contributor TO
those columns, and none more welcome,
because the man went with his words,
whatever those words might be. lie
never wrote line for sounds sake, or
shows sake. Some worthier hand, and
of one that knew him better, will pay
fitting tribute to his honored memory.
We can do nothing of the RiLd. We
can only record our own sense OF per
sonal loss with that Of the whole Church,
and the Diocese he loved so well and
worked in so faithfully, and ask to join,
though as those who knew him TOO
late and too shortly, in the sacred sor-
row of nearer friends.
"a prince and great man has fallen
in Isral." Let us thank God for the
good examples of the fallen soldiers OF
the Lord, and watch and wait and toll
our hour through, till the light eternal
dawns for us also.
