URITUIR II.

Died, Dec. 18th $780, Mrs. Lou X. Hunt, aged
95 years, months and I6 days. Mrs. Hunt
(Lucy M. Kennicott) was born in Porter. Cass
County, Mich, June Goth, 1S45. Her early life
was spent there and at Dowagiac, until July
1862, when she went to live with her sister at
Mattawan. At the age OF nineteen she taught
her first school, and for seven years, with un-
tiring energy she devoted herself to the work
Of the school room.
She was married to Carrie w. Hunt, of Mat
tawan, June 29, 1871. and resided at that place
two years. She then came to Schoolcraft and
taught in our Union School three years. She
made many friends during her stay here, and
the impression that she left upon the hearts Of
the children will never be effscsd.
ITO live in hearts we leave behind,
Is not to die
From here she went to Chicago, where she
lived during the past four years. Her health
failing, che came to spend the summer with her
sisters. During the months of June, July and
August, she was with her sister Mrs. Thomas
Smeed, OF Schoolcraft. At this time she was
able to go about among her friends, and strong
hopes were entertained OF her recovery and
every effort was made to improve her health.
She was extremely anxious to be able to return
to her owu home, knowing how much she was
needed to fill the place of wife and mother, but
she gradually failed, and in Sept. was taken to
the home OF her sister Mrs. Monroe Stew ems,
Texas, Kalamazoo County, where she died.
During her sickness she never murmured, but
always endeavored, in her happy way, to make
herself and her sick room as cheerful as pos
sible. When strong enough, she would often
sing and try to amuse her little boy. Towards
the last she would say, " Jesus can make dy-
ing bed as soft as downy pillows are," and when
the last tie was riven, she turned to the beauti-
full rest that remains in Heaven, exclaiming
"Oh that beautiful light beautiful beautl-
full beautiful !! until her lips stiffened in
death.
The following lines which she composed to
fsvorite air will be remembered By many of her
friends:
Years have come and passed away,
And my lifetime once so gay,
Now is changed, and hours of gloom,
On my journey thickly come.
Yes, the sunny golden rays,
That in happy girlhood days,
On my pathway shone so bright,
Are eclipsed by sable night.
Bitter lessons learned in tears,
Gave me strength for coming years;
Urged me on with purpose true,
To some noble aim in view.
have learned that perfect joys,
Dwell not in this world Of ours;
But in brighter worlds on high,
Golden day shall never die.
And I'll sing another strain,
Sing IL DER and o'er again,
Thought and care have come to me,
But in Heaven I'll be free.

These articles are general
ly sold for all wool, though
they may be part-cotton /;
or for all silk, though they
may be part cotton, or even
only plated with silk.
We prefer to tell what
everything we sell is made
of, so far as we know; and
to let people buy with full
knowledge. Indeed, that
is our only way of safety;
for unsatisfactory goods
come back to us; and the
worst possible Ito u.s. reas-
on for goods coming back
is a discovery that they
are not what they were
sold for. We do not in.
tend that they shall come
back for any reason, least
of all for that one.

TEE character of Garfield for verac-
ity and for taking bribes for Congress
ional legislation was certainly bad
enough. The question as to whether
he wrote letter in favor Of Chinese
immigration and Chinese labor, which
his Congressional record shows he
voted for and favored, ought to be Of
little consequence. Yet the New York
lawyers offer to confront HIM on the
witness stand with the charge that the
letter was written by him, while it is
said the Radicals want to get the letter
to destroy it and prevent the proof of
its authenticity.

EDUCATED WOMEN AND DRINK

The love of strong drinks appears
to be increasing among the educated
women of our day. During the sea-
son just passed instances of open in
toxication were so frequent as to
lead to the conjecture that kind of
epidemic Of drink was pervading
those classes of society in which cul
ture. position aud the possession of
every comfort of life would appear
to be sufficient guaranty against so
degrading vice. Society" ladies'
in fact, live too much upon excite
ment not to suffffer from the inevi-
table reaction, My lady has heI
half-pint of champagne about al
hour after breakfast, another at lunr
cheon, a glass of liquor instead oi
afternoon tea, regular sequence O
wines at dinner, and brandy in hel
post-prandial coffee, Her chloral il
her dressing room is as permanen
and Indispensable an arrangement
as her bath, and much sooner misse,
from its usual position than her Bi
ble.-LoBdon Truth.

MARSHAL McMuLLEN's instructions
10 his army OF Deputy Marshals will
be found in another column. We did
not give them place in the GAZETTE
yesterday, because we hoped there
might be some mistake about their is
suance. No such a list Of or 1ers have
ever been issued before In Delaware
They are we'll calculated TO show the
people upon what Q slender thread the
Radical party has hung all our iiber-
ties and boasfed rights Of freemen.-
With such laws backed up by a great
party, this country could be overcome
as readily as were the Greeks, twelve
millions of whom were subjected TO
four millions Of Turks. Every man
that loves his country and his coun-
try's free institutions should vote
against the Garaeld-Grant Radical
Imperialists whom the Republican
party are now hope to help to power.

From the New York Herald.
THE OTHER SIDE OFT.

Willard Warner, of Alabama, a
Republican carpet-bagger for a time
in the Senate, addresses letter to
q Republican contemporary giving
the platform of the solid South
The solid South, according to Mr..
Warner, will revise the tariff, spend
the coin now boarded in The treasury,
repeal the tax on State banks, de-
stroy the national banks, establish
state banks, repeal the federal laws
supervising the elections, and limit
the authority of the federal governs
ment.
This is startling programme, and
will no doubt have due weight in
keeping up the cry of the Republi>
cans that the country is going to the
devil unless Garfield is elected. But
all this time one argument is forgot
ten-namely, that for some years
past the Democratic party has been
in possession of the Senate and
House of Representatives The De
mocrats have had the power TO re
duce the tariff, but thev have not
done so, They could have spent thu
money in the treasury, but it re-
mains there. They could have inter
fered in the payment of the nationa
debt, but they have voted appropri
ations steadily to protect the publ,
credit and pay our pensions. AS t,
the marvellous prosperity which tn
Republicans attribute wholly to Pre-
sident Hayes's administration, it i
, forgotten that the President of Tn
+ United States, without the help c
or antagonized by Congress woul
be helpless.
