people, By tie people, and for the people,"
The brief extracts given above are not the
idle rantings of demagogue, but the senti-
ments and convictions of an honest man
and sincere patriot, whose whole life was
evidence of the truth of the adage, that
" an honest man is the noblest work of
God.' Even his political enemies, in the
trying times of the war, when party spirit
was rancorous and bitter, were forced to
acknowledge the purity and sincerity of
his motives, and, though they despised his
political principles, they could not help
admring and respecting the man. Mr..
Pugh was not one to seek or accept an
Office for any personal honor or emoument
that might accrue therefrom, but was actu.
ated by desire to serve the State and ben
eft his feliow-m men. In 1869, lie was a can
didate for the State Senate. In 1872, he
was Presidential Elector at Large for the
State of Maryland, Oh the Republican
ticket; Chairman of the State Central Com
mittee, in 1874; Delegate at Large to
the Presidential Nominating Convention
at Cincinnati, in 1876. He took an active
part in the Presidential campaign of 1872,
and in the Gubernatorial canvass in 1915.
He was good speaker; logical and i'm
passoned, at times eloquent. He was kind
and benevolent, always ready to extend
helping hand to those who were disposed
to help themselves. transformations and
unassuming, he was beloved by the poorer
classes of society, and his loss will be
severely felt by them.
His last sickness was short, for, though
he had been slightly indisposed for few
days before, the physician that attended
him in his last illness was only called in on
last Saturday. He found him suffering
from Inflammation Of the stomach and
bowels. He appeared to be better on Sun
day evening, and on Monday evening the
physician thought him to be convalescent;
but he became worse on Monday night and
died at five minutes before nine A. NJ, on
Tuesday. He leaves a widow and four
children.
His funeral took place from his late resi-
dence, at 1890 A. NJ, on Friday, a special
train on the p. & B. c. Railroad leaving
there at l l.30 A. NJ. conveying his remains,
relatives and friends to West Chester for
interment.

JOSEPH Is. PUtiH,

The announcement of the death of
Mr.. Pugh, which occurred at his home
in Port Deposit, on Tuesday last, will
be received throughout the county with
general expression of sorrow and re-
greet at the unexpected loss of a useful
citizen and an enterprising business
man, whom the local interests of his
section of the State can lily afford to
sustain. BY those to whom personal
intimacy and familiar association had
disclosed the many admirable traits of
character that distinguished him, his
memory will be cherished as an es-
teemed friend and companion. In him
the Republican party of the county and
State has lost an untiring supporter
and a Jealous worker. Actively iden-
titled with it since its organization, his
devotion to its interests has been one
purely of principle. A man of strong
feelings, his political opinions We're deep
seated and radical. We do not remem-
Der ever to have met man with whom
his political ideas and opinions were
more the result of conscientious con-
viction than with him. Education and
association have generally much to do
in the formation of individual political
ideas. With him, however, neither
could have exerted an iota of influence
against the convictions of his reason or
the conclusions of his judgment He
was close thinker, patient and Ia
borious reader, not impulsive or spas
modic in reaching conclusions, but on
the other hand, in his mental habit,
painstaking, argumentative and deduc-
tive For man, occupied in active
business pursuits, Mr. Pugh was much
more than an ordinary student. His
tastes always led him to solid read
ing. History, philosophy, mechanics
and political economy were his pre-
ferred studies, while general literature
claimed its share of his hours of
reading. His literary attainments were
decidedly above the average of intelli-
gent business men. In disposition he
was not demonstrative, indeed rather
the contrary. But, although unobtru-
sive in his manners, he was yet manly
and dignifed in his bearing, of generous
impulses, unselfish and good hearted.
We pay no fulsome tribute to the men,
DRY of Joseph B. Pugh, when we say
he was manly and true, and that Cecil
county sustains a serious loss in his
death. The meager tribute we pay his
memory in the hastily prepared per
sonal sketch of him, which we publish
in another column, is prompted solely
by the sincere respect we entertained
for him while living, heightened by the
unwelcome realization of his death

DEATH OF NJ. THEIRS.

The death of NJ Theirs has naturally
excited a profound sensation through
out France, and is undoubtedly at this
juncture in the history of the Republic,
a misfortune the magnitude of which
time alone can measure. For nearly
fifty years he has been one of the most
conspicuous figures in the history of
French politics, and as publicst, states
man and diplomatist, has left the stamp
of his influence alike upon Bourbon,
Orleanist, Monarchst and Republican.
The present generation of Frenchmen
may have forgotten him as the Minister
Of the citizen King, but they will re-
member him chiefly as one of the
saviours of Republican France 1t is
doubtlessly true, as remarked by lead
ing journal, THAT the conspicuous place
which NJ Theirs occupied in the Re-
publican party was to it tower of
strength. 1t was a strong, obvious,
Ineligible guarantee of order at home
and of peace abroad. The statesman
who put down the uprisings in Lyons
and Paris in 1884 with so relentless a
hand; who crushed the Commune of
Paris in 1874, and who, after a life
devoted to the advocacy of the most
ambitious and belligerent foreign policy,
made peace with Germany and earned
the title of 'Lberator Of the Land
was one whom every one in France and
in the courts of Europe knew could be
trusted, as. MacMahon's successor, to
maintain conservative policy. Being
Republican from pure reason and not
from any sympathy with Republican
extremists or any devotion to Republ-
can ideals, it was easy to tell where he
would stop. He had chosen Republi-
canism deliberately, because he believed
it to be the wish of larger party in
France than sustained any other form
of government, if not of an absolute
majority, and because he believed that,
properly administered, the Republic
would continue to gain strength. He
was not liable, therefore, to sacrifice the
interests for which he had espoused
Republicanism to any blind devotion to
its ideas, or to hazard the growth in
popularity which he expected for it by
narrow or offensive measures. He was
the one man who, as head of the Re-
public, could command all its power
and reap for the nation all its benefits
without mourning any Of its serious
dangers"

A TINE SPECIFIC lon,

A TIME-HoNoRED SPECIFIC. The long
and successful career of DR.. WIsHART's
PINE TREE TAR CORDIAL, as contrasted
with the speedy collapse of nostrums de-
void of efficacy which have from time to
time been pulled into brief notoriety dur
ing the twenty odd years that this cele-
brated medicine has been sold, affords
proof that the American public continues
to repose its confidence in deserving arti-
Giles only. The PINE TREE TAR CORDIAL
has long been recognized as the leading
specific for Consumption, Bronchitis, Dip
iberia, Coughs, Colds, Asthma, and all
other diseases of the breathing organs. 1t
is, moreover, a certain, speedy. and safe
botanic remedy for Dyspepsia, Liver Dis
orders, Urinary Troubles, Scrofuous Alice
tons Gravel, Dropsy, Debility, Constipa
ton, and Female Complaints. Constantly
accommodating evidence of an unimpeacha-
bic character establishes the fact that it
not only entirely eradicates the diseases to
which it is adapted, but also that its action
is remarkably prompt and thorough. The
crucial test of experience has demonstrated
its reliability in every particular. Sold by
