The Late Prof. Mead of Oberlin.

Rev. Hiram Mead, d. D., professor
of sacred rhetoric and pastoral theol.
ogy in the Oberlin Seminary, who died
May Is, of a mesenteric tumor, was
born in Cornwall, in 1927. He prepar.
ed for college at Burr Academy, Man.
chester, and graduated at Middlebury
with the highest honors of his class, In
the year 1850. He studied theology al
Andover, graduating in the year 1857
In 1858 he was installed over the church
of South Hadley, Massachusetts, where
he remained for nine years. At the
beginning of his pastorate he was mar
ried TO Miss Elizabeth s. Billings, OF
Andover. In 1867 he became pastor OF
the Olivet church, Nashua, N. H., from
which post he was called, after two
years. service, to the professorship he
held in Oberlin Theological Seminary.
The labor involved in the prepare
ton of the paper on "New statement
of doctrine for the Congregational
churches" which he read before the
National council at st. Louis, in No
vember last, was too severe strain
upon a system already weakened by
disease, and he never rallied from it.
Ills death is severe loss to Oberlin
Seminary, TO the Congregational do
nomination, and to the Christian pull
pit.

Newspaper Mems Trials,

One of the great trials of the new spa
per profession is, that its members are
compelled to see more of the shams o!
the world than any other profession.
Through every newspaper Office, day
after day, 60 all the weaknesses of the
world: all the vanities that want to be
pulled; all the revenges that want to be
reaped; all the mistakes that want to be
corrected; all the dull speakers that
want to be thought eloquent; all the
meanness that wants to get its wares
noticed gratis in the editorial columns,
i'm order to save the tax of the advertis-
ing columns; all the men who want to
set right who were never right; all the
cracked-brained philosophers with
stories as long as their hair, and as
gloomy as their finger-nails in mourn
Ing because bereft Of soap-all the bores
who come to stay five minutes, but talk
five hours. Through the editorial. and re-
portorial rooms all the follies and shams
Of the world are seen day after day,
and the temptation is TO believe in neith-
err God, man, nor woman. 1t is no sur
prise to me that in this profession there
are some skeptical men; only wonder
that journalists believe anything

tact with dishonesty. He has proceed
ed slowly but surely. Three months

ed nearly 100000. Intelligent and
conscientious scrutiny is already saving
many thousands of dollars in contracts
for supplies.
Investigation has been begun which
will bring the guilty to account and all
their efforts cannot stop it. Dishonest
officers are being weeded out as fast as
evidence against them is secured. The
reforms which he will establish will
not only save the peoples money, but
they will raise the moral tone of the
entire force of this great executive de.
partment. Straw bidding, the Sails,
bury combination, temporary contracts
and ex-clergymen sub-contracts, how
the Rock Creek and Fort Custer route
was raised from 1000 to 100000
per year, and how Postmaster General
James has taken SSS, 900 from that pay,
the failing contractors, etc., furnish the
names for the exposition.
