OBITUARY.
Death of Rev. j. j. Hight, ID. d., One of the Ed
itors of the Western Christian Advocate.

IUOFS OF the western CnrlStlan Advocate.
CINoINNATI, Dec. l9-Rev John j. Hight.
D. d., associate editor of the Western Christian
Advocate, died at his home, No. 532 West Sew
enth street. at D P. NJ, yesterday, of paralysis,
superinduced by overwork.
He was born in Indiana ifty-two years ago:
was graduated from Indiana State University,
at Bloomington, in 1856, and Immediately en-
tered the ministry Of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, joining Indiana Conference. When
the war came on Mr. Hight entered the Union
army chaplain, and served until its close,
bravely and creditably Afterward he filled
some OF the most important charges in his con-
ference, including the churches at Evansville
New Albany and Bloomington, and was four
years presiding elder OF the Bloomington dis-
trict. The degree of Doctor of Divinity was
conferred upon him in 1871, by his alma mater.
In 1874 Rev Francis s. Hoyt. d. D., then editor
of the Western Christian Advocate. chose DR..
Hight as his associate and he has filed the posi-
tion most ably for the entire twelve years. He
left his Office only three weeks ago. expecting to
recover his full strength in a few weeks, and, In
fact travelled as far as Atlanta, Ga, seeking
recreation and rest There, however, he ex-
perienced severe stroke, depriving him of the
use of his limbs, and almost of speech, and
though he was brought home Immediately, and
eminent medical skill called in, he steadily grew
worse until the end, which found him uncon-
scous. Dr. Hight leaves a widow and one
daughter, WHO mas just reacn6u WOman0000.
The funeral will Tuesday at 2 P. NJ
Bishop Walden will oficiate, assisted by several
prominent Methodist cergymen.
DR.. Hight was plain preacher, remarkable
for rather the extreme sensitveness of his moral
perceptions than TO. mis- ability to split theological
hairs and temporize with wrong to the disparage-
ment of orthodoxy. He seemed to know as much
of men they in every day life if his calling
haG led him among the rank and file of ku-
manity He was not brilliant but was prac-
fi0o1 md in oil h
relations-in the pulpit, at the editorial desk,
and in social contact.

Socialism in Cities.

Now that it seems to be on the cards
that ali the land of Great Britain is
to be bought up and divided in small
farms among the peasantry, as it as
suredly will be, the peasants Of the
cities-that is, the poor who want to
go into business-are beginning to in
quire when they are to be attended to,
and when every man who fancles it is
to have a shop provided for him, Why
not? asks Mr.. Leland in his London
letter. Would it not be gross par
tiality to give Jack farm and not be-
stow a, small business on John? The
latter, by the way, would cost much
less. In fact, here in England, a clever
man Or woman who understands
something OF accounts, and can get
four or five pounds together, can al
ways make q living. Thus, for in
stance, he OR she can hire q small
tavern in any town out OF Lon
don for even as low as 212, or
$50, year, payable weekly. A
brewer will always supply him or
her with beer and spirits on amonth's
credit. In thousands of cases the
brewer finds the house as we'll as the
stock. Those inns where the tenant
is not bound to take his liquors from
any particular brewer or spirit mer-
chant are called 'sree beer" or "free
spirit houses. A house may be free
as to beer but, not spirits, and vice
versa. There are brewers in England
who own hundreds OF these small
'publlcs." The same system is carried
out bylarge cigar merchants, by manu-
features Of confectionery, fish dealers,
and so on. BY inquiring among
tradespeople (which 1have done quite
extensively I am really astonished,
first, to find how rapidly the small re-
tail business OF the entire kingdom, is
passing into the hands of few CAPT
talists. An enterprising Vanderbilt in
brewing or Jay Gould in tobacco
might own in time nearly all the tav-
ems or cigar shops in Great Britain.
The next step in the future will proba-
bly, be some great popular political
agitation aiming at the transfer OF the
management of all thegreat industries
to government and the establishment
Of special bureaus. If men are to go
on accumulating hundreds of millions,
and if money is to decrease in value
as it has done, such a revolution is
inevitable. .>z IS. j.. q.

have been pleased to throw me into

l then tried to put in word for his
wife, but, while he smiled, bowed, and
looked the very picture of amiablity,
he told Achmed in Turkish, knowing
that l did not understand the Ian
guage, that if another word was said
concerning his harem, or,if I was in
formed OF the threat he was then
making, he (Achmed) should receive
the kouroashe and be sent to the
Soudan, a region which in Egypt is
placed upon the same plane with the
''bottomless pitt" both as regards
climate and billet de retour.

pollution, especially if the woman be
