DEATHS


DIED, on November 18th, 1885, at the resi-
dence of her son, John Byrd, ESQ, near
Jacksonville, Mrs. ANN BYRD, in the 10th
year OF her age.
Hers was not languishing sickness of
pain and torture; nay, she was spared this,
Tor the messenger entered the household and
snatched the loved one away almost un
awares, tor she was performing her duties
and apparently in her usual health and
strength the short time of a. half hour before
the cold, icy hand of. Death was laid upon
her, the cause of which was pronounced
| apoplexy. But 1t matters not to the child
of God when or in what form this message
OF His comes, for 70 such one it is but the
opening to higher, better and more Joyous
life. And such is our hope for the dear de-
parted one, who was baptized some years
ago IN the faith of the Baptist church, of
which she remained q consistent member,
which was but typical OF her everlasting
membership with the church triumphant to
which she is now promoted
She leaves son, several brothers and
grand children, with large circle of rela.
tlves and friends TO mourn her loss, but let
them be comforted with the thought that
their loss is her eternal gain.
Appropriate services were conducted at
the house by the Rev. DIR. Waters, after
which her remains were deposited in the
family graveyard. May this dispensation of
Providence draw US nearer to God that we
may at last, with her, wear the crown of
righteousness in that "IIome of the SOUL" is
the humble prayer ola FRIEND.
DIED, on Monday, November Both, 1885,
OF membraneous Group, EMMA f. WHITE,
daughter of Joseph I. and Anna +. White,
aged two years aud three weeks
Jesus, while our hearts are bleeding
Der the spois that death has won,
We would at this solemn meeting
Calmly say, thy will be done
Though cast down, we're not forsaken,
Though afflicted, not alone;
Thou dids't give and thou hast taken,
Blessed Lord, thy will be done.
BY thy hands the boon was given,
Thou hast taken but thine own;
Lord OF earth and God of heaven,
Evermore, thy will be done.

Getting Ready for the Legislature.

The meeting Of the Legislature next month
is beginning to attract attention in Demo
cratic political circles, and the members of
that body receive prominent consideration
just now. Senator Edwin Warfield, of
Howard, whose name has been presented
for some time for President of the Senate,
is said to have little opposition now for
that position, and the outlook is that he
will get it. Senators Hayes and Geo. Peter
will doubtless be chairmen of important
Senate committees. Mr.. Joseph B. Seth, of
Talbot, has doomed up for the Speakership
of the House Of Delegates, and appears not
to lose any of his boom as time passes. Gen.
Andrew g. Chapman, of Charles county,
will doubtless be chairman of one of the
leading House committees. There is gen
eral inclination TO look toward Mr.. Philip
ID. Laird, of Montgomery county, for doing
at least some Of the leadership work in the
House. In the Senate Mr.. Rayner and Mr..
Hayes, of this city, have record for being
strong men on the floor The Democrats
say they expect harmonious session at
Annapolis this winter. The election of
United States Senator may, in the opinion
some leading Democrats, come off without
a preceding caucus, by way of party com.
pliment to Senator German. The Reform
Club of Baltimore, it is said, will present
matters for legislative attention, and their
committees are at work ia that direction
The Legislature is called upon to provide
for submitting TO the people the question of
calling convention to frame a new con
stitution. So far as this matter has been
discussed by the legislators, the process
which receives favor is to have the question
submitted not later than the time for the
general. election next year, when Congress
men are TO be chosen Members of the con
stitutional convention will be chosen at the
same time, and il the popular vote is in favor
OF the convention that body will meet next
winter. The Legislature may decide to sub
init the matter to the people at special
election held carly next year. as was done
in the case OF the constitutional convention
of 1852 A leading Baltimore Democrat,
who gives the above as the plan which he
thinks will be pursued, says there is little
doubt that the constitutional convention
will be called by an overwhelming majority
of the people.--Baltimaore San.

NOBLEsT ROMAN OF THEM ALL.

NObLESI HUMAN Or THEM ALL.
Cicero, when about to speak Of Pompcy,
congratulated himself that he had theme
so crowded with glorious associations that
he could not fail to interest his audience,
for the exploits of the great Roman trans
cended those of the proudest names in i'm
perial history, and conferred increased
splendor upon the republic. 1t is with kim
dred feelings and emotions that we write
briefly of the death of Gen. Robert Tombs,
which occurred AZ his late home in Wash
ington, Georgia, On Tuesday last, in the 10Th
year of his age.
Gen. Tombs was an intellectual giant
His speeches resembled Grecian sculpture,
with all the purity and hardness Of marble,
while they show that the chisel was guided
ahy the hand of q master. He combined the
pare philosophical faculty of investigation
Which characterized the Greek mind with
the athletic power and majesty which be-
longed to the Roman style. No grander
spectacle could be witnessed than that
which he presented when his mighty in
telect was in full play, and the great pas.
sions of his nature glowed in his counte-
nance. In the Senate of the United States
he sat, amidst its august deliberations, as If
upon his broad shoulders alone he could
bear the weight Of the government.
Gen. Tombs was prominent as great
lawyer TO the close of his life Before and
during the war he was conspicuous in his
defense OF the South and Its institutions
II was he who first declared in the Senate:
'Sir, repeat it, this Union is already dis
solved" as he had previously announced
that the time would come when he would
be able to call the roll of his slaves under
the shadow OF Bunker Hill monument. He
threw the weight of his influence, bis tai
ents and his fortune with the land whose
every inch he loved, and when the cause was
lost he gradually confined himself within
the circle of few personal acquaintance.

The Republican Senators may just as
well yield gracefully in the matter of Presi-
dental appointments. The only objections
against appontees of the Executive the peo
pie will sustain are such as may be based
upon proved personal unftness. The Sen.
ate is clothed with high powers, but it was
never Intended that partisan majority
should override the President. In fact, in
the conceptions of the founders of the re-
public, partisanship was to have no place in
the Senate.

A FIELD FOR SPECULATY TON

The real feeling Of English Toryism be-
gins TO creep out now that the elections
are over. That common people should be
elected to Parliament excites the scorn and
ire OF part Of the British aristocracy. We
see It stated that among the Parnelites
elected are two diapers, three tavern keepers,
four farmers, two grocers, one carpenter, one
blacksmith, one florist, one matchmaker, one
tailor, one dancing saloon owner and one
manager of a dancing school. To add to
the enormity of the offense these men do
not do business by wholesale or on large
scale, but are mere humble tradesmen, pub
licans and artisans. The grocers, for In.
stance. are common green grocers, who walt
on patrons with aprons tied about their
waists, and the carpenter, blacksmith, tailor,
ct a., actually work with their hands The
Radicals, it is asserted, enjoy the situation,
and exult over the fact that English working
men have chosen a mason, glassblower, a
tailor, a bootmaker and laborer to the House
of Commons. Radical papers urge the work.
ingmen and self made men, on both sides OF
the Irish channel, to unite and beard the
aristocrats in the next Parliament.
But the most important statement is thai
Mr. Gladstone will soon submit his views

and that speedy conference Of the Par
