AS A LECTURER.

The lecture field presented to him an in
viting opportunity for the exercise OF the
rare talents he possessed. Many Of those
who were prominent in the Constitutional
Convention became better known to the
people By Mr.. Cowardin's " Humors OF Re-
construction than by the printed reports
of debates, for he was able to represent
them to his audiences not only in manner
and style, but in speech, too. His ability
to initiate the oddities and peeuliaritfes OF
voices was wonderful indeed. In that he
had no superior. - :r
1t was his design in all his lectures and
recitations to use no word that "would
leave sting within brothers heart"
Els success as alecturer weaned him from
regular journalistic life; but it was never
his purpose to relinquish it entirely.
In 1872, after having visited and lectured
In all sections Of Virginia and many parts OF
North Carolina, he accepted the position OF
captains clerk on the United States steamer
Yantic. He was absent one or two years,
during which his ship was in the Mediter-
ranean and Chinese seas. His observations
in foreign parts were subjects that were en-
braced in his Catawba lectures.

JOURNALISTIC.

Upon the revival OF the Dispatch in 1866
Jimmie Cowardin became attached to its To-
cal department, and here began journalistic
life-a profession which his ready wit, tine
memory, and popular manners well suited
him for. Those days, but ten or eleven
years agone, seem way back in the past. and
the reporters who were associated with the
deceased in the beginning OF his career are
some dead, and others scattered wide or
gone into new walks Of life. There were
then here reporters j. Marshall Hanna,
Francis W. Dawson, William S. Gilman,
P. II. Gibson, Harry Tinsley, P. G. Cogh-
Ian, John Creme, DR.. J. B. Brock, W. 81.
Wade, Mills Goodwin, Frank West, Moses
p. Handy. Other names escape the writer.
There were then five or six morning papers
competition was close, and the labors OF all
the newspaper-men-neyer -tgtviai-Were
then particularly severe and exacting. Our
deceased friend made for himself good
reputation. It was period OF trouble, OF
the subordination OF civil to military au-
thority, when the popular mind was unset
tied and society had been rudely disturbed,
and there were many stirring events and
startling episodes that he was called upon
to report. Our files bear witness to much
faithful work Of his brain and hands.

FAILING STRENGTH.

. When the Yirginius troubles broke out
in Cuban waters he became correspondent
for the New York Herald, and was Tor
several months stationed at Key West.
Subsequently he was employed on the staii
OF the Washington Star, and upon leaving
there returned to Richmond. His health
had become feeble, and he was no longer
able to undergo the rough life OF regular
reportorial work. Last year he undertook
the ManchesteE>news for this paper, but
strength failed him and he was able to do
but little service.
Late last spring, greatly enfeebled, he
| left Richmond for the mountains. at times
cheering accounts OF his improved health
were received, only to be contradicted by
Intelligence Of his growing weakness. His
disease was consumption OF the bowels.
The best medical skill ayailed him nothing,
and when he was brought back to Rich.
mond towards the end OF the summer ii
was painfully apparent that his days here
on earth were to be few.
In his sickness he was gentle and patient.
Hewas not long in arriving at the conclu-
sion that he would probably not recover, and
he expressed perfect willingness to 60. he
made his peace with his Maker, received the
! last sacraments several days ago, and died
| in full communion with his Church, and in
perfect trust Of a future Of bliss.
The deceased had some wonderful es'
capes in battle, and was saved from death
at the Capitol disaster by forgetting key,
| for which he returned to the Office. When
he started back to his desk in the House lo1
which body he was afterwards reading
clerk he found that the floor OF the court
