DIED.-Dr. j. II. Campbell died IN this
clty on Sunday last. the Immediate cause of
death being the breaking OF an abccss on his
lungs.
We are unecquainted with his history, save
that We are told he was born and raised in
The south and served in the southern army
during the war, at the close of which he
came north. In 1870 he came 10 Ottawa.
He WAS in many respects a remarkable
man. A friend says Of him IN the Republican,
"iIe was Traveller Of extensive experience.
having been through Asia, Europe and South
America and lac had travelled extensively
in this country. lie was an intelligent and
obseryant traveller, aCc those who knew him
in his younger days learned how richly his
mind was stored with the fruits OF his wan.
derings. He spoke the languages of many
peoples, and conversed iiuently In German
French and Spanish His acquaintance with
the classics was extensive and be discussed

if it seems to saying, /, 2, 3, hop, hop,
hop, or !, 2, 3, bang, bang, bang, you
may conclude at once that you are
listening to something of a very low
order which it is your duty to des.
plse. But when you hear something
that sounds as if an assorted lot of
notes had been put into q barrel
and were being persistently stirred
up, like a kind of harmonious cruel,
you may know its q fugue, and safely
assume al expression of profound in
terest. If the notes appear to have
been dropped by accident, and are
being fished up at irregular intervals

ton, 1t is likely to be a nocturne /;

unreasonable long time in passing a

likely to be a symphony and symp-

to be dumped out in masses, and
shoveled vigorously into heaps and
then blown widely into the air by

Catechising a Representative Re-
publican.

@. What have you to say to the
fact that your party, through its re-
personalities in Congress, organized
the celebrated Credit Mebilier swim
die in 1872? A. l frankly declare
that my party saved the Union and
that it Protects American Industry.
@. Your party, during the Ad-
ministration of Grant, organized the
Whiskey Rings which stole thous-
ands of dollars from the Government
and used a portion of the same for
political purposes. How about that?
A. I solemnly answer as before that
my party saved the Union, and that
it continues to Protect American In
dustry.
@. What have you to say to the
charge that your party has driven
the American flag and American
commerce from the seas by its unwise
legislation? A. But you forget that
my party saved the Union and that
it Protects American Industry.
q. BY the way, do you know that
it was your party that robbed the
Freedman's Bureau, passed the
River and Harbor appropriations
and the theological Pension bills
which have extracted millions un-
necessarily from the National Treas
ury? A. Yes; but it was my party
| that saved the Union, and it is my
| party that Protects American Indus
try.
@. 1t was your party, through MI.
| Robson, that squandered millions
of dollars on a rotten navy for the
| benefit of contractors and thieves,
was it not? A. Yes; but my party
had a right to do this because it
saved the Union and it is in favor of
| Protection.
@. 1t was your party, too, which
in 1876 stole the Presidency from the
man who was legally elected, was it
not? A. Yes; but as l said just now,
my party saved the Union and had a
right to do this.
@. Were not the men who organ
lied the S%tar-rOute steals high func-
tionaries and members of your party,
and did not your party, through the
Administration of Arthur, fail to
convict and punish the thieves? A.
l grant you, but you seem to forget
that my party saved the Union and
that it Protects American Industry.
@. Did you ever hear of a Repuh-
lican thief or malefactor, from an
army quartermaster down to Belk-
nap and the Star-route rascals, who
was convicted and punished for his
wlckedness A. The party that
saved the Union and which Protects
American Industry cannot afford to
punish its recreant officials.-NeW
York World.
