COL. ROBERT ]. GAGE.

Col. Robert j. Gage departed this life at tn
residence Of his brother, in the town of Union
on the morning of December l. 1882.
He had accomplished the three score years and
ten (which the Psalmist speaks, and his physi
cal powers were enfcebled, yet, as the mental
force seemed undiminishei we hoped that he
would be with US for manJ years to come
When one that we have esteemed and admir-
ed has passed away it is of benefit to us, the
survivors. to contemplate his characteristics
and yirtues-the sources Of his attraction an
excellence.
First, then, this was an honorable, hightoned
gentleman, this was a good citizen. He was
possessed of habits Of thrift and economy wor
thy Of imitation in the commonwealth. Next,
he was kind, gentle and courteous in his deport.
ment to his fellow men. These qualities caused
him to be considered among men.
lie was graduate of the South Carolina
College. lie was q man Of culture and aspira-
tion. He was for q long time q land owner in
the Meadow Woods of Union County, and was
much interested in the science of Agriculture
Many articles on tn, subject attest his interest
and his desire to assist others with his knowl-
edge and experience.
He was born in Union and had represented
ths County in the Legislative Halls of the State.
lie loved Union-he loved her people and her
traditions. lie had fund of anecdotes of the
early days. which he told with great success
He had a remarkable facial mobility. This gift
aided in great degree the effect of his recitas.
lie seized upon the salient points of an incident
and rendered them in vivid llfelike way
One was not wearied by these recollcctions; they
were always told with the same graphic force.
AS we write, some OF these anecdotes come back
10 us and we feel the same thrill of enjoyment
as then. lie had the organ of humor in n large
deeree--this kept him fresh and young and
made him charming companion. In the intense
working present he was light from another
period
We will miss him in the streets, we will miss
him in our homes. We mingle our tears with
those of his widow and his sons and his daugh-
ters, in that we will see his face no more.

sSenate Bronze Door This beautiful
door as work of art is surprisingly beauti-
full. 1t consists of two valves, the one on
the right commemorating war and its fierce
conflicts; that on the left, peace and its at
tendant triumphs. The door was designed
by Crawford, and is generally considered to
be equal to the Rogers door. The Senate
Chamber may be visited at any time when
the Senate is not in session. The vice-pres-
ident presdes over this body. His desk oc-
oupies a raised platform on the north side.
The floor will seat IA Senators. The hall of
Representatives is similar to the Senate
Chamber but differs somewhat in the style
of painting, and has desks for over three
hundred members. The visitor should get
to see the government botanical garden. 1t
is situated Immediately west of the Capitol
park, between iirst and third sts., and Penn.
and Maryland avenues. 1t is open from a.
m., to 6 p. m. The grounds comprise 10 a.
cres. and are ad rned with trees and shrubs,
and flowers of every cline. Leaving the
garden by the west gate, the visitor may by
a short walk come to the Arsenal The old
pententiary building, made famous by the
assassination trials, formerley stood here,
beneath one of the cells of which the body of
the assassin Booth, was for u time buried.
In the store houses are stored vast quani-
ties of ammunition and arms. There is the
Smithsonian institution; the National mu-
scum, the museum of Agriculture: the bu-
reau of engraving and printing; the Wash
iugton monument; the carp ponds; the
Franklin Square; the Columbian University;
Wayland Seminary; the Army Medical mu-
scum: Masonic temple; Patent Office; Post
office; Howard university, and the national
military cemetery, it contains 5.424 graves
The Soldiers Home adjoins the military
cemetery, and is one Of the most attractive
drives around the city, and is much resorted
to in pleasant weather. The property com
prises about five hundred acres, and is beau
tifully laid out in drives, lawns, meadows
gardens and lakes The home was original
" only military asylum, and was founded
through the efforts of Gen. Scott. The hom'
was the favorte summer residence of Pres
ident Lincoln. The White house is on Pen
nsylvania Ave, west of the treasury depart
ment, the grounds of the two buildings il
divided by Executive Ave. The grounds
are laid out in walks, mounds, trees, foun
tsins and drives. Its built of sandstone
hut is painted white, and therefore is calle'
the White House. 1t should be the desir
of every one who can visit Washington
oity before going anywhere else that the
may have a knowledge of the great capitol Q
the nation that when they are asked b
strangers ubroad concerning it, they ma
give intelligent information.

R. E. Church of the Redeemer.

On last Sunday night the sixth service of
song attracted large congregation that
filled every portion of the neat church edi-
flee at Eighth and Monroe SGs., and it is
thought more than three hundred persons
were turned away unable to gain admission
to the church. In the last number of tue
"Wilmingtonian" he entire programme of
this service was given, and we were kindly
informed that our Journal had contributed
its full share to make this singing service a
grand success in giving the matter publicity.
The service began precisely at 7.30 p. M,
with the hymn, "From all that dwells be-
low the skies Sung by the entire congre-
cation standing. The Rector then led in a
short prayer, after which was read the lat
ter portion of the 7th chapter of st. Matt
The subject was "Christ the Rock, " and the
hymns, and the remarks of the Rector was
upon this theme. ''The Shadow of the
Rock, was beautifully rendered by the
choir and just afterward lhe entire oongre-
cation Joined in singing, ''The sure Founda
ton" "The Sheltering Rock" duett
and chorus was sung by Mrs. Anna Morley,
and Miss. Fannie Elliott. The words OF
this hymn is beautiful, the sentiment is
sweet, and it was rendered with so much ex-
preston that all present felt its power The
choir sang, Safe on the Rock" with good
effect, and then the congregation joined in
singing, 'The Rock that is Higher By
request Mrs. Anna Morley, and Miss. Fan
ME Elliott sang a duett
mo NIGHT THERE"
1t was he general opinion that these two
ladies are sweet singers, and no one woult
desire to hear hymn sung with more mel
ody and effect. Mrs. Morley surprised
most everybody as it is only of lat that sh,
was persuaded to sing in church, and it wa
not generally known that she possessed sucl
a remarkable musical talent Mr. JOIN
Todd, organist and leader, sang solo
''That Rock is Christ" Mr.. Todd is evident
! ly a born musician. One never tires of hi
singing, and the only regret was that he di,
not sing more than one solo during the even
ing. After the singing of the Doxology tn
congregation was dismissed with the bene
dction by the Rector. 1t was announces
that these services would be made an espeC
ial feature, and to be given quite frequently

A visit to the Capitol.

1t is the eager desire of most people to
visit Washington city, and in order to aid
all our citizens, who contemplate visiting
the Nat onal Capitol, we will mention some
interesting places that should be visited
Mrs. Anna Morley, wife Of Edwin Morley
ofthe firm of Springer Morley and Cause,
visited Washington last month, and Mrs.
Davis ofthat city but formerly of Wilmn-
gton, gave her every attention, making the
visit one of the most delightful and profit
able. 1t may rot be the good fortune of
most of our people to have such kind friends
in the capitol city, and we therefore give
them direction that without a guide they
may profit by their visit. Washington, the
seat of Government, is situated upon the Po-
tomac river This river is the broadcast in
the union, and one of the most beautiful.
The sight is one of the most beautiful in til
union, and admirably adapted to manufac-
lures and commerce. But owing to the i'm
mediate vicinity of Baltimore and Alexan-
dria, and the official gifts of the government,
the attention Of the inhabitants has never
turned toward the great natural advantages
of the position for business enterprises.
The Capitol is the first building to attract
attention, it has commanding situation u
pom the brow of what is known as Capitol
Hill You go up the broad walks, aud as
oending the terrace and interior stairways,
the Rotunda is reached. The Canopy of the
Rotunda is decorated by fusco by Brum-
idi; representing deification Of Washing
ton with freedom on his right, and victory
on his left, while thirteen female figures in
the foreground represent the original states
Visitors should examine these paintings
in the Rotunda very closely as they contain
portraits painted from life, and are truthful
representations of noted people; and episod
es inour history as nation. The painting
of the Baptism of Pocahontas is especially
beautiful and striking, and many other,
painted by many of the very best artists
The Sup eme Court of the United States
is to be found in the senate wing of the bull
ding This room was formerly the United
States Senate Chamber.

A modern miracle: A medical man in
New Orleans, who is fond of his little joke,
called on colored minister and began to
catechise him. "Why is it?' said he, that
you are not able to do the miracles that the
apostles did? They were protected against
all posons and all kinds of perils. How is
it that you are not protected now in the
same way?" The colored preacher respon-
ded promptly: 'spect is. I've taken a
mighty sight of strong medicine from you,
doctor, and is alive yet. n-New Orleans Pi-

The E0St6Urn Line.

There has long been the necessity for
public conveyance on Sth ST., and before this
line was started We predicted, that in
short time passenger rail road would be
built, and we are thankful that the coach
company acted upon our suggestion and are
running coaches until they are able to lay
rails. While their coaches are convenient to
those living in the western part Of the city
to travel back and forth to their business, it
would be still greater comfort and conve,
nience, if there coaches were run so that per-
The Wilmingtonian., 1882-09-30

where to meet them. There have been a
great many complaints from persons who
have waited for the longest time for coach
and after waiting have been disappointed and
obliged to walk. A gentleman living in the
western portion of the city, stood upon the
corner of a street looking for Il coach. and
when he finally saw one in the distance
coming along Sh., it turned oil on to auolh-
er street Instead of keeping the route that
ought to be passed over. One of the repre-
sentatves of our paper has more than once
wended his way home on foot after long
weary wait for coach to putin appearance
We would suggest that time table be ssu-
ed by the company stating the time when On
the up and down trips coaches will be at cer-
tain points. The time of leaving the depot,
the time of reaching City Hail. Institute
Hall, West Street, Monroe Street and the
terminus. This would ohviate all difficulty,
be comfort to riders, and make the run
ming of coaches a much greater success.
