"The college man, with his superior
information, his ripper intelligence,
should make better master mechanic
than his uneducated competitor. He
should be a better mine, factory, fur
mace, forge, mill or railroad superinten
dent than the man who has had fewer
advantages of learning than he. The
whole field of active industry, of prac-
teal mechanism, is open to HIM, and
the more thorough his education the
more shrewilly he should SOW and the
more profitably ne should reap in it. a

Alright, if they persevere a few years in
their present determination to make
themselves masters or practical me-

master workmen, superintendent, man

fail to do that, if they never emerge
from the position of the intelligent

A SENATORIAL DARLING.

Washington Despstch 10 the Phiia. Times.
A good deal of amusement is furnished
this winter by the wife of certain Sena
tor, who always calls her husband
"Darling' He isn't such one as the
term would bs ordinarily applied to, be-
ing big and burly and not very nice about
his person, but she seems to think it is a
very pretty pet name. and uses the term
of endearment on all occasions. Whether
she is addressing him iu private or public,
or whather she speaks of him to others,
she always says Darling" and does it
so frequently that when Darling" is
referred to now everybody knows who is
meant.
Darling has suoh a bad cold, she
said to another Senator's wife the other
day, ''tbat | am going to put him to bed
when he comes homs,"
Darling went to the Capitol early this
morning" she remarked to another, "to
attend one of those horrid committee
meetings What dreadful things they
are, I positively hate them. Why, Oar
ling says that if it wasn't for his com
mittee work he could spend lots of time
with me-"
The other Senators have Caught on, +"
so to speak, and now seldom allude to
their colleague by any other term-in his
absence only, of course. One Senate:
came very near making a blunder the
other day by using it at the wrong time.
He entered the committee room little
late, and as be took off his coat and
gloves looked around the table, at which
half dozen or more Senators were
seated, and asked.
where's Darling?"
There were some frantic gestures to-
ward a bookcase at the other end of the
room and the late conner blushed deeply
and looked alarmed. Darling" was
behind a map rack, where he could not
be seen, and if he overheard the remark
he showed no sign.

Three of the churches of this town
have in rapid succession sustained
serious loses in the deaths of three
prominent citizens. The Methodist
Episcopal in the case Of Francis A.
Ellis, the Presbyterian in that of James
T. Mccullough, and now the Protestant
Episcopal in the unwelcome departure
of Richard G. Reese. Although Mr..
Reese belonged to younger genera
ton, yet he has for years been an active
vestryman at Trinity Church. He was
an earnest worker in all church enter
prises, and consistent follower of Him
whose cause he protested.

EDWIN WILMER.

Death is rapidly decimatlng the ranks
of those who of an earlier generation
than our own, were prominentln shaping
events during the periods of their activ-
ity, and were influential opponents of
the best sentiments and ideas of their
communities and times.
Prominent among these in this county
was he whom the last enemy of mankind
has so stealthily robbed of life, and to
whose kind and afectionate conduct in
the most interesting relations of social
and domestic life, so many strong and
honorable testimonies remain.
We can pay no higher tribute to the
moral worth of the man than the fact
which we now put on record, that never
during an intimate acquaintance OF more
than twenty years have we heard him
utter an unkind word of another, or
make the weaknesses, faults, or foibles
of his fellowmen the subject of unchari-
table comment, sarcasm, or ridicule. If
there be better test of high character
we have not learned it.
Edwin Wilmer was a gentleman by
birth, as well as by instinct and habit.
He inherited high personal qualities
from an exemplary father, and drew
from the lips of pious and devout
mother inspirations to manly conduct.
OF handsome person, in temperament
warm and self-restrained, in manner
frank and cordial, in habit generous and
hospitable, with a never-failing flow OF
genial humor, he was the ever-welcome
companion of the young, and the con-
siderare, courteous friend of the aged.
He was highly endowed intellectually
and could have achieved distinction in
any of the learned professions. His
literary attainments were OF high order,
the productions of his pen being smooth
and perspicuous, and written in plain
and we'll chosen language, while as a
speaker and debator he was fluent and
forcible, bringing the resources of a
cultivated understanding to bear upon
his subject without effort or labor.
1t was in the privacy of home, how
ever, and IN the refined retirement Of
domestic life where the graces of his
character and the beauties of his dispo-
sition were best displayed. Here the
natural ties of family relationship were
strengthened and cemented by his con-
siderate devotion as husband, his
thoughtful kindness as a parent, and his
loyal sincerity as friend and counsellor.
He was indeed the sunlight of his house
hold, shedding warmth and life around
HIM, and dispelling by his wonderfully
reaCtlVe nature, the SHADOWS winch OF
occasion death and adversely had thrown
across his threshold.
At one of the most impressive ser
vices, the sacred influence of which it
was our privilege to share, loving hands
laid him tenderly away.
His body reposes in the silent solitude
of an earthly sepulchre.
But he is not there. 4 greater than
he, the Christ, the Elder Brother in
whom he trusted and believed, has
preceded him there and hallowed it.
With Him he has arisen.

The totally inadequate means of pro-

been a standing reproach to the reason
able caution against public disaster

last something like common interest
has been awakened to the necessity OF
a proper fire appliance for the town,
and we hope the effort to secure one
may not prove abortive.
