CHARLES H. COMBS.

On Friday last at half past twelve
O'Clock the spirit of Mr.. Charles H.
Combs took its flight to the heavenly
land Mr.. Combs WAS born in Luray,
Page county, Va, Jan. 1854. He was
graduate of the class of 70, Howard
University and up to the time of his
death was connected with Howard
Law College.
He was firm believer in the doc
trines of the Christian religion and
manifested great love for his Divine
Master. 10y his life of strict devotion
and piety. His religion was of the
Puritanic character. pure, simple, holy.
His genial disposition (although &C
cumpanied with u reseryedness. which
was quite commendable, )made his COM
pany one in which we delighted to
linger. He rose above, far above the
vicious indulgencies, characteristic of
the average American of his age. and
this made his life well worthy of en-
ulation.
He was man of profound learning,
of extensive information, and pos
sessod in no small degree. consider
able amount of experience.
His intellectual attainment EQUIPPED
with his high moral qualifications
made him the the model of the scholar
and the gentleman and while we
mourn his departure, we feel confident
that it is heavens gain.
The tribute paid him by the Rev.
Frank Grinke, ut the congregational
church on Saturday was alike honor
able to him to whom it was paid, as
well us to him who paid it. Too
much cannot be written or said eulo-
gising the character of our lately de-
parted. Words are inadequate to eX
press the high esteem in which he was
held Ivy all who knew him. His death
is d severe loss to his Alma Mater.
That REAPER whose name is death is
plucking with sickle keen" some of
our fairest flowers, but we bow to the
will of Heaven.
He is gone. gone to .he heavenly land,
Gone to the land from sin and labor lee
Gone to dwell with angles pure,
Blessed, blessed, Immortality.

Diplomats and Their Wives.

Of late years the intelligence of the
American min ;sters, and the charm
and elegance of the wives, have. says
the Paris MeSSeJ o =, furnished themes
! for frequent and favorable comment.
There are legerd' stu existing, it is
true. of how. in bygone years. tie wife
of an American minister at the court
of st. James Mortified all English
sticklers for etiquette by recommend
ing eatnip tea to Queen Victoria as a
sovereign remedy for the collie in ba-
bieS. and kissing all the royal children
when she met them taking an airing
in the park with their nurses and gov
ernesse:. There is. too, story extant
of one of these transatlantic danes
who, on being press nted to the queen,
did not kiss her majesty's proffersd
hand, but shock It heartily in her own,
declaring, at sane time, "that she
was happy to make her acquaintance"
But these days have passed. away,
never to return. When Mr.. Buchanan
was minister to England he made a
highly favorable impression, in social
point of ew. His drawing-rOOm was
preSi led over by one of the loveliest
women that ever graced c)urt-hiS
niece, Miss Harriet Lane. She was a
blonde, of a regal and superb type: her
prOfuse, golden tresses, large blue eyes
and exquis.t5 complexion, the fine pro-
portions of her graceful and dignihed
form, and the queenly carriage of her
acknowledgement head, rend T, d her \
noble specimen of American beauty.
Her manners were perfect in their
subtle blending of cOrdiality and Dig
nifty. She was greatly admirel in Lon
don, and the question, care all the
American ladies as beautiful as Miss
Lane?' was one that was frequently
asked
One of our representatives to one of

friend to whom this letter was written
committed the objectionable error of /
giving it for publication to prominent !
local newspaper. The tidings of the
letter and it's contents crossed the sea
and brought very storm of indigna
tion upon the head of our unfortunate
envoy. His recall! was at once de-
mandel by the government to which
he w@S accredited, but the United
States authorities refused to take such
action in the case. IS they held that
the obnoxious letter, being written for
private circulation merely, was not a
sufficient cause for his removal. Per-
haps this victim of friends indiscre-
ton would have done well to have
taken the mltter in his own hands and
retired, for his position thereafter at
the court of X was anything but
pleasant one. All official and diplO-
matte business was transacted with
him us usual, but socially he was
wholly IgnG red. He received no inyi-
tation to any of the court tals or Off
cial entertainments. neither could he
procure any for his country people.
And this unplea amt state of affairs
lasted till the expiration of his term of
O.lice.
