In Memoriam.

At the old home of his father, near Lay
Hill, in Berry's district, Montgomery coun-
ty, Md, on Sunday afternoon, June 28th,
1886, GEORGE THEODORE, son of Jacob and
Ann Kemp, departed this life in the 3ist
year of his age.
Highly respected by all who knew him
and tenderly beloved by his family, after the
death of his father, some seven years ago,
this young man devoted his life TO his
widowed mother, and while missed by
many, it is the mothers heart that will
bleed most freely under this sad bereave-
ment. In his last sickness, running through
weary months, at its close he received the
comforts of religion and died in the com.
munion of the church Though in the busy
time OF the wheat harvest large number Of
friends and neighhors followed the body to
The grave in the family burial lot on the old
farm. With the beautiful burial service of
the Episcopal church he was buried by Rev.
James b. Averitt, Rector OF Silver Spring
Parish, who, in writing this obituary, hopes
that this warning may be blessed TO all in
that community.

We remember last fall to have read an
account of speech made in one of the
Northern cities by the negro Frederick
Douglass, who is Recorder of Deeds in
Washington, in which he said let me first
take up the moral character of Mr.. Cleve-
land, for it is the tender part that we should
strike. OF the further vituperative charac-
ter of this whitewashed negro's speech many
of our readers doubtless are aware, and like
ourselves, wonder why he is allowed to hold
one of the most lucrative offices in the Dis
riot Of Columbia

WANTED-A NAN.

A man is wanted. OF course he is. He
has been wanted through all ages and he
will continue To be wanted until Orion shall
have been ground into dust It is not sur.
prising, therefore, that, In this age of univer-
sal progress, refinement and taste, young
lady graduate OF one of our fashionable in
situations Of learning should select "a her
theme at the commencement exercises the
subject, "Wsnted-A Man" And whilst
doubtless she uttered the sentiments OF
every girl in the graduating class, rs in
thousands OF like classes throughout the
civilized world, the declaration would APP
pear To be creating some surprise and much
severe criticism.
In the progress of her essay, among other
matters, the young graduate very plainly
states the character Of man she wanted
1t was not one Of the senseless dudes with
hair parted in the middle-not dashing
brainless beau who had not an idea above a
good suit of clothes-not reckless spend.
thrift who never thought Of the morrow
nor respectable society scamp who would
first ruin his wife's life and then mortgage
her silver. None of these. The young lady
graduate made Il known that she wanted a
man who amounted 10 something, that was
somebody and could take mans position
in being useful In all Of the walks OF public
aud private life.
Without expressing any opinion rs 10 tho
propriety OF such theme upon such an %
casion, we wonder If il occurred To the yuun.,
lady whilst describing the sort Of man she
wanted, what just snch sort of man
would do with the average girl graduate
viii she paint plaques for him-fling itlle
chips of French in his ears-drum on the
piano and rack his nerves--spend half the
day In making her toilet 40 that she may
make a handsome appearance on the street.
worry him for the latest dime novel-spend
hours la studying the fashion plates---in
euire ut every meal when and where the
next party will come off--in short, neglec
her miad and domestic duties and thinl
that her only mission Is 10 be petted ant

lady wants man. and requires one badly

SECTIONAL ANIMOsT7TEs.

Indications are plentiful that 1t is the in
tention of the leaders of the Republican
party to make another effort TO revive sec
tional animosities. The loud-mouthed ut
terances of the leading newspaper organs o
this party, the speeches its captains an(
lieutenants, as well as those convention
which have assembled since last Novembe
all point In this direction.
While this fresh crusade of hate is to b,
conducted in the name of patriotism ant
loyalty 1t will be practical disloyalty and
disunionism. II the time Is ever to come
TO us when the union and harmony fol
which hundreds of thousands of brave
men sacrificed their lives are TO be achieved
it is now here. The Union was restored
by the war, and In spite of the mutterlngs
of malignants on both sides good fellowship
and concord have increased in the land
year by year. Malice and partisansi,ip may
easily conjure up causes for fresh enmity
and distrust, but by the great masses of in.
telligent and patriotic people they will be
passed UNDECIDED. The South is in the
Union at present, not by Its own volition
but by compulsion. 1t has seen that the
Union is the best for 1t as well as for the
North, and It's sblest and best leaders recog-
nize fully the fact, whatever the future may
bring II can produce nothing more harmful
than disunion. Attempts to revive old con.
tentions, the stirring up Of bitterness and
strife may commend themselves 10 unscrupu.
lous politicians anxious to blind the people
TO their own designs, but in the end it will
be found that 1t was the politicians who
were blinded and not the people. The
country wants union and peace II fought
for them both, and because one party failed
to give it peace it has tried another.
The sectional partisans must take another
thing into consideration. When the mex
presidential contest shall be fought the re
public will have had more than three years o
thoroughly national administration, draw
ing its inspiration not from section, bu
IRON almost every State in the Union
Many falsehoods and countless alarming
prophecies will have been exploded. Tn
Southern States will have taken the place
rightfully belonging to them in the Union
and will have borne, as their right and duty
their full share Of the responsibility Of tn
government The thing will be found t
have worked well, and closer sympath
will have grownup between the once dis
cordant sections which no one, not actuate
by sinister motives, will then care to destro,
The aspiration of statesmen, patriots an
martyrs will at length have been realize

il cannot hope for popular support any
