GToRGE HooMEs PERKINS, son of DIR. A H.
Perkins, of Brierfeld, Hanover county, Va,
was born August 1S 1858, and died March 1,
1882. He was the great grandson Of Colonel
George Hoomes, of Bowling Green Caroline
county, and Martha Waller, sister OF DR.. Robert
Waller, formerly of Williamsburg. OF these
and his more immediate ancestors, this young
man was most worthy descendant inheriting
their characteristics Of personal appearance, and
displaying in full vigor those manly traits so
prominent with them In common with most of
the old families of early Virginia history. We
knew him from boyhood, and with ample OPP
portunlties to compare him with others, have al
ways thought of him as one Of the best exam
pies of that rare and noble nature that seems
born with love for whatsoever things are
true, honest, just, pure, lovely, and Of good re-
port" 1t seemed the natural inclination of his
mind to think Of these things :" ard in no par
tlcular, however slight, did he ever depart from
them. Thus he grew to manhood honored by
al classes, the valued friend of all who love
virtue, whether old or young, the comfort of
those to whom he was bound by the ties so pre-
clous to him and to them, the strong staff on
which declining years had thought to lean. The
great Father chooses that we should lean upon
Him. May He reconcile us to His will. Our
loved young friend has gone from ds in his ear
ly prime. Yet who shall say that his life work
was not done Surely, as he did good in his
b-ief day, his influence must follow him and so
to all boys and young men we commend his ex
ample for imitation and his memory for the
honor 50 Justly its due McG

Mrs. FANNY WArK1xs DAVIS, wife Of Rev. J
A. Davis, of Halifax, Va, died November 9th.
1881, while on a visit to her former home in
Charlotte.
She was a helpmate to her husband in his vo.
cation, visiting the sick assisting the needy,
sympathizing with all, and was ready for every
good work. She was kind and generous
friend, social, cheerful, and constantly denying
herself for the benefit of others. Her religion
was of the heart, unostentatious, rejoicing in
the Lord as her only trust. Beloved by every
one, her loss is deplOred by the whole commuE-

been gathered to her fathers in the a. rest that
remaineth to the people of God" Earnest and
energetic in her religion, and devoted in her
friendship she will long be missed in all those
circles where woman's love and virtue shine in
their brightest lustre Gods covenant promises
did not fail this child of the covenant. either in
the activities of life or in the hour of death
Her end was perfect peace" and as she was
entering the dark valley she said, Christ is my
all and in ALL he told me So now know it u
A few moments after in reply to the question,
how was it with her now |? she replied, "All is
well, for am leaning on the Saviour"
Sister thou vast mild and lovely,
Gentle as the summer breeze
Pleasant as the air of evening
When 1t floats among the trees.
Yet again we hope to meet thee
When the day of life is fed
Thenin heaven with Joy to greet thee,
Where no farewell tear is she'd"

appearance in New Orleans last

of Forbes, who arrived there few
days ago from Havana, on the slip
Marco Aurelio, was taken sick soon
after his arrival and sent to the
Charity Hospital, where he was
treated at once, and found by the
physicians to be suffering with yell
low fever. He died on Monday
last, and so far no new cases bave
developed from this. Strict sani-
tary measures Lays been adopted
by our Crescent City frields, and it
is tc be hoped that the worst is
over, The National and State
Boards of Health have ordered all
vessels from infected ports quaran-
tined twenty days, before being al
lowed to enter the port of New Or
leans. If they had been more par
ticular, the case mentioned above
would not have been brought to the
city, and the commerce of the place
not injured to any extent whatever.
As it is, the people living in Louisi-

in fact all the Southern States may
quarantine against the city. thereby
cutting off much of her valuable
trade at this season of the year.

Three hundred spectators and officers,

little while consciousness returned
Guiteau was terribly excited.
After regaining his strength, Guiteau
braced himself up and marched firmly
to the scafold. He was supported by
the Rev. Hicks and the warden, ami
others.
Guiteau was assisted up the steps and
placed on the trap. He opened the
Bible and read, in firm tone, the 18th
serse of the 10th chapter of the Gospel
according to st. Matthew:
And fear not them which kill the
body, but are not able to kill the SOUL
but rather fear Him which is able to de-
stroy both soul and body in hell"
Closing the book, he then read a
prayer. denouncing all who caused his
death. He said God would send to hell
President Arthur and all who caused his
death.
Then he read little poem, the refr-ir
of which was "Glory hallelujah, I'm
going to glory"
The latter pert of the poem was read
in a broken voice, and ended in sobbing.
His poem was, he said, intended to rep
resent child.s prattle.
His legs were then pinioned. The
condemned stood firm. Rev. Bent read
the service for the dying, and the moose
was adjusted around Guiteau's neck.
