AN ABSENT MINDED SENAToR.-Ex-
Senator Goldwaithe, of Alabama, was
noted for his extrems absent minded
ness, and he was occasionally seen
running about the Senate trying TO get
out and not being able to find the
door. He would have half the page
boys in the Senate looking for his hat
or cane, which would be all the while
firmly clasped in his hand. He was
much given to walking mp and down
the lobby, plunged in deep thought,
often smnking fragrant Havana, and
entirely oblivious of all things abont
him. Often some cheeky page of The
Senate would walk up and ask the
Senator for a light. Mr.. Gnldthwaithe
would mechanically hand over his
cigar, the boy would take light, put
the choice weed in his precious mouth
and hand over bis old stump to the
old gentleman. who would continue
his stroll in bissfnl ignorance. Ii is
related on gnnd authority that, in one
of His iits of abstraction, he walked in
to the Senate elevator, dropped a
nickel into tue hole back of the mir
ror, and calmly requested to be let ont
at III street.

DEATH OF GEORGE C. SANFORD.

That was O sad and mournful pro.
cession that reached Leesburg on the
morning train Monday, bringing with
them the remains of George C. San
ford, son of VIM. L. Sanford, ESQ.,: Oh
this county. who died at the Universe
ty OF Virginia, on Saturday, in the
10Th year of his age. Mr.. S. was a
young gentleman of exemplary charac,
ter-a devoted student, and of more
than ordinary promise. AS student
for several years at the Leesbcrg
Academy, he was we'll known to our
people, and was universally esteemed
for his amiability and gentlemanly de-
pertinent. This, we understand, is
the third son that the bereaved father
has lost while off at college, and in
this last sad affection, he has the heart
felt sympathy Of our entire commu-
nifty. The remains were brought to
Leesburg, accompanied by four stu
dents from the University, Messrs.
Douglas, Leith, Van Horn and Mccain
and taken to the Episcopal Church,
from whence, after the reading of the
burial services by Rev. DR.. Davis, they
were conveyed to Union Cemetery and
peacefully laid to rest.
Less than one year ago, a smaller
cortege reached Leesberg, having in
charge the remains of noble youth,
who in the prime of life was snatched
from the College class room by the I'M
timely hand of Death, and to-day, in
the same silent city of the dead, they
both "rest from their labors," their
memory affording to the young sad
lesson of the uncertainty of earth's
brightest promises Loudoun Mirror.
UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA, Dec. l3-
George Compton Sanford, student
from LonHann County, Va, died at
the Iufrmary this morning at ii
o'clock from inflammation of the stom-
ach. He had been quite sick, and
iIoughtlessly exposed himself by at
tending the athletic games, while still
far from being well. Since that time
lie has been almost constantly ill, and
his disease has bafflcd the skill Of the
best physicians. His mother aud ia
tIer were both with him, and every
thing was done by loving hands and
sympathizing hearts. He was a good
student, and had won the respect and
esteem of both professors aud fellow
students. He was particularly popu-
lar among his special friends and club
mates ("Kappa Sigma Bappa."D His
brother, who is student, and bis par
ents, have the heartfelt sympathy of
