In the death Of RoDERT f.. BLASREN-
SHIP Richmond lost a most valuable citi-
zen-one to whom the city's fair name
was dearcr than all else save his family
and friends. aud who was always in the
forefront of every movement tending to
advance her interest Elsewhere are
given tine details of his busy
and useful life. These constitute
a fitting tribute TO his memory as a rep
resentatiyc son of Richmond. We, how
ever. cannot refrain from touching upon
his character-upon his other life as it
had been known for years to us and to
others that were close to him. RoBERr
+. BLANKENsHIP was a man of more
than ordinary individuality, of posi-
tive convictions. and, as the world
comprehends the term, OF little
policy. But what he believed lie believed
with all the strength of his intense and
honest nature, and beneath his, at times,
brusque manner was as warm and gene
rOus a heart as ever beat IN human
breast. To understand him once was to
understand him always and to know
where to find him Mt all times.
There was no hypocrisy about his
dealings with upholders or opposers,
and such of the latter as he may have
met, and whom men of his pronounced
personality cannot fail to raise up, will
be among the first to lay chaplet upon
his bier in testimony of admiration for
his sterling integrity and worth. He
was a true friend, whose interest in those
he loved was not mere profession but a
living fact. He was devoted son. an in
dulgent and afrectionate father and hus
band, and man whose life abounded in
charity of word and deed that was hidden
from the world. The ROBERT +. BLANKEN-
SHIP whom We knew upon the streets asa
stirring, pushing, energetic man ofallairs,
with but little time except for the stern
demands OF business, had en- inner life
in which were nOurished some of the
sweetest of flowers flowers exhaling
the fragrance of kindness, beneyolence,
and benehcence.

Among the predictions touching the
result of the accession of FREDERICK III.
is that he will modify the relations be-
tween Austria and Germany. The rea-
son assigned for this is that the new
Emperor will hardly coincide with
BIsMARcK's policy, which has been
to keep Austria in such helpless
dependence that her statesmen have
almost lost the power of acting for
themselves. However much the new
Emperor may differ with BISMARCK on
questions Of statecraft. it is hardly proba-
bic tlat they will split upon this rock.
The fact is that the HUI garian states
men control the Austro Hungarian
policy and the Hungarians constitute
the only element in the great
European defensive alliance that wants
war. II FREDERICK III. he the peace
fully-inclined monarch he is credited
with being and there is every reason to
believe that he is-it would certainly not
seem the part OF wisdom for him to re-
linqush any power over Austria now
possessed by Germany.

a small farm in Ohio. About five years
ago he sold out and returned to this
county, stopping with three maiden
aunts, who live about four miles from
this place. Soon afterwards he came
here and engaged board at the Hunton
House, where he has been ever since.
He paid his board promptly every two
