The National Protestant.

This popular, attractive, and inter-
esting Anti-Roman Catholic Monthly
journal, we regret to say, was suspen-
ed soon after its introduction to the
public last summer in consequence Of
the unforeseen and unexpected financial
embarrassment Of the late publishers.
We are pleased to nnoun that it has
been re-estahlished upon a sound fnan-
cial basis that guarantee it's permanent
cy and successful career. The Edito-
rial management of the paper will te
in the hands of D. M. Fazlay, Esq
formerly Editor of Gazlays Pacific
Monthly, and for twenty-one years con-
nected with the Press Of the country.
OF long practical experience as a writ
er and publisher, he will bring to MS
assistance the most able and popular
theological and literary talent available
in this country and Europe. The
original plan of a monthly publication
of the paper will be maintained for the
present, but the publishers hope DUR
in the coming year to make it a regular
weekly newspaper. The November
number is just out and presents a
handsome Typographical appearance, and
is brim full of Interesting matter con-
nected with the Roman Catholic ques-
ton in its various aspects, and a large
amount OF choice and welI-seIected
literary articles. The subscription
price of The National Protestant is
but One Dollar per Annum, an amount
small that places it within the reach
ef the humblest in the land. Speci-
men copies will be sent to any address
upon the receipt Of ten cents by the
publishers, Messrs. Vogel & Co., 81
Liberty Street, New York. We hope
to see The National Protestant liber-
ally asd generally sustained.

The Death of DR.. A. S. McDill.

A clap of thunder out of a clear
sky could not have startled u people
more than did the reception of the in
telligence of the decease of DR.. A. S.
McDill. DR.. McDill died at the Hos
pital for the Insane at Madison on
Saturday afternoon at 3:15 o'clock
Nov. 18th. He had been Ill for sever
81 days, but no alarming symptoms be-
6ekeasd the early dissolution which
has brought mourning to so many
keants. His disease was supposed TO
be rlesnsy which developed into a Sc
we're type of P1euse-pneumonia and so
vid.sat was the attack that ere his near
friends were aware sc the sudden tran
sitien the soul lad winged its flight to
ITS eternal abiding place.
De- MeDm had for years aeen known
fhromgfaSus Wisconsin as s. sterling
business man and 8 most successful
physician. He was born ia Crawford
County, Pennsylvania, March ss,
1922. After pursuing an academic
course at Allegheny College, he pursu-
ed the study of medicine at CLEVELAND

ed meaning of that term, he aspired
to the position of Assemblyman, and
was elected to the Assembly. The
year following he was chosen to the
Senate, and in 1864 he was chosen enc
of the presidential electors fer Wis
consin. and cast his vote for Abraham
Lincoln. In 1862 he received the ap-
pointment Of trustee of the State Hos
pital for the Insane. In 1868, upon
the retirement uf d. Van Nostrand
he was unanimously elected its super
in~teRdent, a position he was pre,emi-
nently qualified to fill. In 1872 he
was elected to represent the Eighth
Congressional District in Congress by
d majority of $500 votes. He was
re-nominated IN 1874. The history of
his disgraceful defeat by the fraudu-
lent transaction of the Wood County
Board of Canvassers is too well known
to require further notice. Not desif-
ing to contest the election in the face
Of obstacles which were insurmount-
able barriers to u successful recognition
of his rights, he permitted his compet-
itor to occupy his seat unmolested !;
After he had fully determined to aban-
don the contest, the trustees of the
State Hospital unanimously united in
inviting him to again assume the re-
sponsibilities of Superintendent !;
~consenting, he was reelected, and was
acting in that capacity when stricken
down in the prime of hfe,-in the un-
finished days of his usefulness.
DIR. McDill was a most excellent
man, winning the hearts of all who
came to know him. He was wholly
honest, which in these degenerate DAYS
is as glorious an epitaph as can be
spoken. He was a sagacious counsel
lor, and an earnest worker. In con-
gress non were more watchful of the
interests of their constituents. lie
scarcely ever participated in debate
being better fitted to direct and control
public sentiment as an energetic work
er in his seat thar IS a noisy DICTATOR
upon the floor. He possessed execu-
tive ability in a large degree, and to
his watckful care and excellent iudg-
ment the State Hospital for the Insane
is indebted for its standing as one of
the best regulated and h~umanely con-
Quoted institutions in the union. He
was always urbane, and as gentle as a
child, seeking to do only good, hat the
unfortunates who came to love him
most tenderly might be made happier
in their benighted condition.
Few men will be more missed for few
have been more useful. He leaves a
wife and two children toward whom the
sympathies of a host Of true friends
will go out in this their time of incon-
solable grief.
