THE Democrats could not have
selected a more unfortunate war-cry
than "reform." The Democrats of
Wisconsin used it, and the man elected
to office under it proved corrupt. Til

the cry, has been proven periurer.
And now his lieutenant, Dorsheimer, is
shown to have sworn to deliberate
falsehood in order to draw money from

evenly three or four feet high; dull
thud was heard, the rocks trembled be

short pulsations of an earthquake; the
water, which appeard to remain station
airy for amoment, broke spurted upirreg-

bells were rung out joyously, and all
was over.

was no conclusion in the air, and not a

Complaints.
There is disease that causes such active pain or
more alarming in its results than wnen the kidneys
fail to secure from the blood the uric acid and other
poisonous substances, which the blood accumulates
in it's circulation through the system.
If from any the kidneys fail to perform the
functions deyolving upon them, the cumulations are
taken up by the absorbents and the whole system

hour. The window continued dark.
The cavalier was menGnCed with

sent to decoy him to Paris. RiChelieu

horse, dashed forth into the darkness,

THE SAD. CASE OF JNO. NJ. Il.
CUAiMINGS.

We learn from writer in the
Lynchburg News, that jiist before
His death, young Cummings left a
note for his father, the contents of
which were as fellows:
DEAR FATnER.-I am tired Of life,
} have committed suicide in self-de-
fence. Please forgive and forget.
Your SON"
He had been unwell, and of a very
melancholy mind for several days
past. After wriiuF tho above note,
he got up and took out his pistol and
shot himself; the first shot VAS in
ofiectual, the second took effect i'm the
heart. He attempted to shoot third
time, but his room mate, Mr.. Ogden,
succeeded in taking the pistol from
him; but it was too late, he died
instantly.
This case is but another exom-
plifcation Of the danger of over
study to young people, nervously
constituted. 1t is the danger which
bescts the proposed path of the
ambitious young man or young
woman-over brain work, in ignor-
ance of the laws of health. The
young brain, fired by ambition
becomes over active and, like the
locomotive with the throttle valve
open, rushes wildly from the track
and goes over the precipice. 1t is
iimposible, generally, for parents to
see this danger until it is too late.
John Cummings case is peculiarly
sad one. His parents are much
beloved, and these in turn had
lavished their affections on the only
son. They had done every thing
possible for John, sent him at last
to the finest University on the
continent. Stimulated by his OPP
portunities, he spurred ahead in
pursuit of hopes that were very
bright until the centrifugal forces
OF his nature .ruptured the golden
bowl.

A TRIBUTE
FROM WATERMAN LODGE, NO. 2l9. A. ?. A. NJ.
TO THE MEMORY OF
Col. Joseph TFigg Campbell.

" lTe are as clouds that veil the midnight moon:
How rostlcssly they speed, and CLEAN, and quiz
streaking the darkness radiantly Yet soon
Night closes round and they are lost forever"
How strangely versatile is life. To-
day the favOrite of health-tO-mOrrOw
the silver cord is lOOsed and the golden
bowl is broken, and the spirit returns
unto God who gave it. How often Of
late have these reflections been oforced
upon us-a BEKE8I, u WATERMAN, a
DICKEY, called away in quick sue
cesSiOn from their tCOrE--rOw another
It eloved of the Craft-Brother Jos.
TRIGG Campbell has gone, in ODE
dience to the call, in response to the
Order Of the Great Architect. and now
rests from his labors.
Your Committee realizes the diff
Guilty of COUGHING in words the feel
ings of hearts, because of the sorrows
that drape the minds of the FratCrni-
~, in the loss we have sustained, by
adding another name 10 the DEATH
ROLL of the lodge. -Four Stars have
been stricken from oar Masonic tiGnIu-
mcnt: hut their memory is as ehim-
meTIng lights along our pathway, to
cheer and help as the burdens of life
benl upon US.
The life and character of Brother
Jos, II. Campbell is too well known to
need an eulogy from us; yet it is meet
that we spread upon our Records the
estimate we bear of his character rs 4
citizen and Mason. He was born
and educated among us; and selecting
the profession of the law, he purposed
that, by the help of God, who had so
richly endowed him, he would attain
position amongst his fellows secon d
to none; and your Committee has the
proud satisfaction of stating that, in q
Bar having no superior in the State,
Brother Campbell was the leer of the
most brilliant minds with whom he
was forced as counsel, to grapple. He
had not filled his full measure in life;
for there was bright future before
him; yet the Wise Disposer OF the
events of time has seen best to call
him from tabor to rest.
AS expressive of the feelings Of your
Committee, they submit the following
resolutions;
l. Resolved, That it is with the most
sincere regret, this Lodge has learned
of the death of our beloved brother,
Joseph II. Campbellj and whilst we
lament the loss his death has brought
upon us, we bow with chastened
hearts to this affective dispensation of
the All Wise disposer of the events OF
life,
2. Resolved, That we offer to the
afflicted family Ourmost sincere sym
pathies.
3. Resolved, That rs n testimony of
our regard for the memory of Brother
Campbell, the furniture of the Lodge
be drapped in mourning, and
Members wear the usual badge &C
mourning for thirty days.
4. ResOiUed, That copy Of the ac-
ton of the Lodge be made of Record
in the Lodge; and that n copy be
furnished the family and copy the
editor of the Abingdon Virginian for
publication, and that the Editors of all
papers in Southwestern Virginia be
requested to copy the same.
