Obituary.
DAN GIDDINGS.

The Centerburg Ohio Gazette and Star
of the 18th inst. contains an extended no.
tice of Mr.. Giddings, of whose death there
on the 7th, at the age Of 81 years, mention
has already been made. The main facts of
his life are thus given:
Dan Giddings was born IN Clarendon,
Rutland Govt, June =. 1885; when y years
old he removed to Fairfax, Franklin Co,
VT, with his parents, with whom he made
his home until October 3, 1867, when he
was married to Miss Sarah }. Weed of Es-
sex. TO them two children were born,
Nellie NJ, who was taken from them in the
18th year. and James w. who, with the be-
reayed wife. now mourn the loss OF father
and husband. After his marriage Mr.. Gid
dngs resided for IL years on farm near
Westford, Vermont, then moved to Essex
Junction. where he remained years Six
years ago last September he, accompanied
10y his family. came to Hartford. Ohio, and
the following May they located in Center
burg. Mr.. Giddings' education was limited
to that of the common school, but he was a
man of much mental force From his boy
hood he had been a breeder and dealer in
Spanish Meuno sheep, to which business he
concentrated and devoted all his energy,
and succeeded in winning for himself
widespread fame. AS IA sheep salesman
he probably had no superior in America.
Last winter Mr.. Giddings spent
the month of February in New Orleans rep
resenhng the interest of the Ohio Sheep
breeders association at the Worlds Fair.
This seems to have been for him an unfor-
tunate trip. The miasmatic atmosphere of
the South. together with certain peculiari-
ties of their diet, loaded his system with
disease which he was not able to throw off.
He returned home the 9TH of March physi-
cally very much debilated. Early in the
simmer, with the hope of regaining his
health, he visited his native State, but alas,
it was only to look upon the green noun
tains and fish in the crystal waters for the
last time. The familiar hills, beloved val
leys, and bright scenes of his childhood
coHld not nurse him back to health. He
returned to our village on the 2lst day of
July more reduced in health aud strength
than when he left, and but the sh adow of
his former self, For IL few weeks we oc,
casionally saw him driving on our streets,
but on the l4th of October he took his room
never to leave it until death relieved his
spirit from the temple of clay"

The death of Hon. Elizur Wright at
Medford, Mass, on Sunday removes an
other, and almost the last, of those men
who prepared the way for the abolition
of slavery in this country. The story of
his life is thus told:
Mr.. Wright was born in South Canaan.
Conn, on Feb. II. 1901. He graduated
at Yale college in 1926. and for two
years was teacher in Groton, Mass.
From 1929 to 1888 he was professor of
Mathematics and Natural Philosophy in
Western Reserve college, Hudson, Ohio.
In 1888 he came to New York and was
for five years secretary of the American
Anti-Slavery society, editing in lS34-5 a
paper called Human Rights. and in lS34-S
the Quarterly Anti-,Sldrery Mdgdzine. He
went to Boston in 1898 and in April, 1899.
became editor of the Massachusetts Abo.
litiOniSt. In 1916 he established the
ChrOnOtype, which he conducted until it
was merged in the Commonwealth in 1850,
of which he was also for time the edi-
tor. From 1858 to 1866 he was insurance
commissioner of Massachusetts, and has
since been prominently connected with
insurance interests. AS editor of the
ChronOtHpe Mr.. Wright advocated the alb
clifton of slavery by political means,
thus disagreeing with Garrison and form
ing the nucleus of the Republican party.

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER %, 1885.

The Forty-ninth Congress meets in a
few days. Its upper house will contain
a Republican majority of five or six; of
the Representatives 1874 will be Demo-
Gratis and al Republicans. This is quite
certain to be one of the livelest sessions
for some years. While the Republicans
are in the minority in the House, they
have good working majority in the
Senate; and they are in position to
make it exceedingly unpleasant for the
administration, if they choose so to do.

THE Supreme court had curious ques-
ton before it for decision at the recent
general term. Chester b. Newell of
Nottingham refused, when making out
his tax list, to subscribe to the so-called
"iron-clad" oath; and, instead, inserted
the clause, "to the best of my knowledge
and belief" His list was doubled by the
listers in the same manner as if he had
given in no inventory. Newell took the
matter into court. 1t was held that the
listers did right; that the form of the
oath prescribed by law must be followed
exactly.

The English parliament which was dis
solved last week is likely long to be re-
membered. The measures it passed were
the most important of any that have gone
upon the statute books of England in the
last forty years. The Irish land act of
1881 was the first great move. 1t changed
the whole policy of the government in
regard to the subject dealt with. 1t in
effect set forth the principle that the gov
eminent would take in hand the matter
of adjusting the relations between land
lord and tenant, and, further, that the
States duty is to aid in the establishment
of peasant proprietary by loaning mon
ey for the purchase of land. For various
reasons the act has not proved to be of
much practical use to the Irish, but it is
believed that the principle of it is correct
and will ultimately bring about the re-
suits sought Another accomplishment
of this parliament was the enactment OF
the law extending the suffrage, and thus
adding largely to the number of voters
1t was reform act equal in its effects to
those which have become historic. For.
eign political movements are, perhaps
hardly so full of interest as those of our
own country; but it can but strengthen
our faith in the essential wisdom of oul
institutions when we see one of the mos
conservative of nations slowly yet steadi
ly approaching the standard set up by
this nation in the early years of its ex
istence.
