AFTER services. conducted by Rev Mr..
George yesterday morning, the remains of
the late Mr.. John Oberly were followed to
Beech Grove by relatives and large
number Of those who enjoyed his friend
shsp while living An earnest and impress
i've prayer was delivered at the grave by
Rev. Mr. George. and the earth closed for
ever upon good man. Looking at the
matter with the lights before us, We think
there is hardly any doubt but Mr.. O., if he
had taken the precautions usual to persons
OF his years, would he living to-day. He
was man Of superb physique, and during
all his long life Of toll and exertion, he
neither stunned nor feared the elements
He belonged to that rugged and sterling
type of manhood familiarly known AS
Pennsylvania Dutchmen," whose descend
ants can be found to-day in every state aud
territory Of our country. Injured TO the
hard and rough work Of the farm from
childhood; rising with the sun and retiring
only after all the chores of the day had
been performed repeating this through
all seasons for years, the old gentleman
grew to manhood rs near weather
proofs as it is possible for human nature to
attain. In his later days he cherished a
pity bordering upon contempt for the man
who would resOr. to umbrellas or arctic
shoes as protection against the elements and
pronounced as ctfeminate and unworthy Of
manhood the fashion that arraycd men in
heavy underwear and many coats. Indeed,
his feeling Of the invincibility of his pow
crs of endurance undoubtedly FASTENED his
death. Although seventy-onc, his frame
was massive and his muscles sinewy and
strong. The machinery of life in him was
unimpaired. No vital organ was seriously
affected and with prudence and care he
promised to be q ccntenarian. He was Il
Christian in the broad sense of that
word. He could see good in all crceds,
but became welded to no particular one,
although in late years he often expressed an
admiration Tor the faith of the Roman
church. For the Rev. Mr.. George, the
Presbyterian minister of this city, he had
a high personal regard, and in his dying
hours asked that he be summoned to his
bedside lie was very fond Of children,
and this love was reciprocatcd by those
around him. They left nothing undonc to
make his later years comfortable and
pleasant to him. lie commanded many
Kind hearts and ready and willing hands to
execute his slightest wishes. His wife, who
survives him, is in her seventy eighth year

COMPLIMENTARY REVOLUTIONS ADOPTED by
THE wOMEN's CHRISTIAN TEMPERANCE
UNION, on HER DEPARTURE FROM CAIRO.
In the confusion which prevailed around
this office Saturday evening the following
resolutions as published contained many
errors These we have corrected, and re-
publish the action Of the w. +. L. this
morning.
AT regular meeting of the Women's
Christian Temperance Union, held August
90, 1873, the following resolutions were
unanimously adopted:
WHEREAS, Our respected and esteemed
friend, Mrs Louisa lockwood Wardncr, is
soon to remove from this city; and
WHEREAS, Mrs. Wardncr has been not
only faithful and efficient worker in every
good cause in this city, but the originator
Of many organizations Of which we are
justly proud.
We point with gratitude to the fact that
it was her intrepid energy that aroused to
life and action the slumbcring energies OF
the friends of temperance; and with Il
courage that never taltcrcd and zeal that
never abated she has aided in bringing
about the present favorable condition OF the
temperance cause; 1.-THE lighting of that
torch has brought brightness TO many
homes, and new purpose to many manly,
noble hearts
1t is pleasure now, that our paths d.
verge, thus publicly to give expression to
our appreciation of the very valuable SER
vices Mrs. Wardner has rendered not only
in this city, but in other portions Of our
state.
Resolved, That we sincerely regret the
removal from this city OF Mrs. Wardncr
that by the removal We lose one whose cx-
ecutvc ability is of the highest lordcr an
interchangeable worker a faithful friend, as
well as a social power, ever intent on hos
pitality,
Resolved, That we tender to Mrs. Ward.
ner our best and hcartiest wishes for her
happiness and prosperity in her new field
of labor; and further,
Reserved, That these resolutions be put
upon the records of this association and a
copy sent 10 Mrs. Wardncr.

there is really very little cause for fear that
the scourgc will ravage any northern city.
The climate is greatly in our favor, and still
more are the habits of the people. 1t is true
that New York and Phi ladclphia have both
once been swept by yellow fever, in years
long past; but they were then undraincd,
filthy towns, with weight ofhelpless misery
and want which was fit material for any
plague to feed upon. Norfolk, ut the
time of its most terrible visitation,
was in similar foul condition. The
cities of the north have made
great progress in the art of cleanliness
since those early days, The majority of
decent houses here and in Philadelphia are
drained and ventilated, if not by the best
method, still more effectually than they
were twenty or even ten years ago. The ma
jority, too, of citizens who can read have
learned the first principles of hygiene, and
are apt to apply at least some Of them
promptly in time like the present. In
many southern towns and villages, however,
there has been no such advance
there is in them an all-abounding
luxury of filth, such as Northern
ers who do not travel can hardly
imagine. There is usually no pretence at any
underground drainage; the houses, set on
piles above the ground are surrounded by
luxuriant roses and magnolias. with the
scent of which mingle odors of the aggre-
gated denominations Of generations, reeking
barn-yards, green stagnant pools fostering
in the tropical sunshine; pigs, fleas, and
black beetles are the only scavengers.
There is too much in the habits OF many
SouthernerS TO render them an easy prey to
this especial form of disease. Even delicate
children are fed on fried meats, corn
bread, and black coffee; and sluggish,
inactive life promotes the undue access of
bile into the system. II is stated, we have
no means of knowing with what truth, that
the present epidemic originated in Grenada.
and was caused by an attempt to stir up a
filthy sewer The germs of the disease
were probably brought from elsewhere,
but such condition of affairs as
we have described would account for the
wholesale slaughter which has ensued.
Scientific men for many years have at
tributed the prevalence of this disease in
New Orleans to the peculiar mode of dis
posing of the dead, as well as to the mala-
rious swamp on which much OF the city is
built.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON d. c. Aug, 81 lS1S.-If
Gen. Sherman has gone, as the National
Republican thinks, to the Texas border the
act probably 'means business 1t is to be
regretted that Conkling's Senate Committee
appointed specially to take charge of our
relations with Mexico at time when, AS
now, the Administration threatened war, did
not make at least partial report before
Congress adjourned. The fact that WARMTH
weak and dcmoralized people like the
Mexicans can have but one result is not an
argument for such war. There is. prac-
tically, no limit to our resources in men and
money. Ofthe latter Mexico has none what
ever. If war is declared we shall add an
immense strip of valuable territory to our
present domain, assume several millions of
dollars of doubtful claims against Mexico,
add also to our debt the cost of the war,
and still have the same border troubles we
now have If there is any honorable means
of avoiding the contest we should avoid it,
and Congress, if 1t assemblies in time, should
take such action as will compel the Admin.
istration to be cautious.
Various charges, which seem to have some
foundation, and which will certainly be in
vestigated, are made in connection with the
bill, passed at the last session of Congress-
by which the United States general govern
mcnt is made to guarantee the payment of
principal and interest of the District three
sixty-fv. bonds. A New York bank held
several millions of them and made an enor-
nous amount by the use in value of the
bonds consequent upon the act of Con
gress. 1t is charged that ready money
was paid to some members and
that Others were guaranteed the profits on
certain amounts of the bonds. Two men,
bers of the senate committee Oh the Dis
trict of Columbia-both Radicas-are
mentioned as having profitted in the last
mentioned way. On the part of the House
Committee the names of men of both parties
are mentioned. The subject is one of great
interest, as these bonds have been largely
purchased in the east and north.
Ii We are to believe that Kcarney ever had
any commanding position among working
men. we must admit that he seems 10 have
lost it, Whether his own coarsencss and
lack of method have injured him, or, his
advocacy of Butler, will he mystery for
a long time. Whether Kearney injured
Butler not, is another. That each in
iurcd the other is likely. Kcarncy may in
some things be worse than Butler, and in
Others Butler worse than hearney. You
remember the Indifference of the woman
when her husband and the bear were fight
ing. 1t Is easy for most Of us to refrain
from shedding tears when we see Kearncy
! lose his influence with the dcluded aboring
man, or when it becomes plain that Butler
has lost all hopes e prefcrment.
The health officer says Washington will
not have yellow fever as an epidemic this
time but he expects few cases. He will
quarantine as soon as the disease reaches
Norfolk, the only place from which it is
likely to come to Washington. The high
government officials have very generally
left the city, but upon engagements made
prior to the fever scare.
