The Dead Singer.

p. p. Bliss, the evangelist and singer,
as our readers are well aware, was one
OF the victims of the AshtabuIa calami-
ty. According 10 the statement OF those
who were in position to know, he
made heroic effort to save his wife
when he might have saved himself, and,
falling in this, remained and died with
her, the two Offering their prayers to-
gether as the fatal flames approached
them, like the old martyrs at the stake;
and thus, united in life, they were not
divided in death. They died the death
of Christian heroes-the faith of the
songs which she had written ana he had
composed blossoming out at the last
into the full flower of victory over death.
Those who remain pursuing the work in
which he was engaged have already pro-
vided the means Tor educating his chill
dren and bringing them up in the way
their father walked, and for erecting an
appropriate monument to the memory Of
this faithful pair.
This is we'll; but the most lasting mon
ument-mOnonaef,ta Rrepere7taialS which
Horace sang-to tAe memory OF Lne dead
singer will be found in his own songs,
which have already crowned his name
with undylng fame and reached around
the world with their simple melody
sung to-day in the Tabernacle in Chica-
60, yesterday in the Zulu mission of
South Africa, tomorrow in the temples
of China. There is probably no part of
the civilized world in which his lyric,
tHold The Fort" is not sung, and nu-
merous other Of his songs, like ''The
Armor Bearer" "Almost Persuaded"
ana "What Shall the Harvest BeT are
also winging their way across the seas
TO distant lands. His was the trumpet
note that led the Christian crusaders in
their assaults against the strongholds Of
Satan, just as Mr.. Root, with his war
songs, inspired enthusiasm in our troops
during the War of Rebellion. lie has
been Mr.. Moody's right arm, for Mr..
Sankey has chiefly sung the songs which
the dead singer composed ana used to
sing. He is dead, but he lives again;
lives in the Sunday-school; in the
church; in the revival; in the foreign
missions; in the heart OF every man and
woman striving for something higher
and better; wherever men preach
Christ and sinners seek repentance.

His Honor Fakes A Tumble.

As an evidence Of the good sleighing
to be had at present it is only necessary
to refer to the frequent jingling of sleigh
bells heard in our streets, both night
and day. Quite number, taking ad-

A very prominent city official, having
been invited to attend the great Tilden
jamboree of the 8th of January at Col

ist himself, lett his palatial mansion last
evening at s o'clock, accompanied by
three female members of his family, in

excellent the presumption was he would
reach the scene of action about noon on
Sunday, which would give ample time

pare his speech on assuming the Chair
manship OF the great poW-wow.
The frequent running off the track by
the various railroad cars was only
edualed in this instance. The gay COM
pany while passing the residence of the
venerable Stacey Hill, on Eighth street,
west OF Vine, became alarmed at some
cracking of timber, and it was suggested
to drive little slower, which was CON-
Piled with. The vehicle (not the team

that they were not going to Columbus

Colonel Sellers at Home.

A California journalist, who has been
roaming through the mining regions or
the Pacific Coast, thus describes Yeri-
table, real, live Colonel Sellers that he
stumbled across during the course OF
his wanderings;
"Ridng down one of the canons of
the neighborhood | came upon log hut
by the SIDE OF the stream. Beyond it
was potato patch, in which woman
in a huge sun-bonnet and five bare
legged children were digging out their
morning meal. AS neared the spot an
unsavory looking man, with soapy locks
and unEempt beard, appeared at the

TO the mining operations along the can
