Dr.. Dashien Dead.

In the death of Rev. DR.. DAsHIELL a life
light Is gone out which liz the path OF
many poor and troubled people OF this
community. He was "a loyable and com
fortIng man, and an example Of pioty and
patience. Sorrows Of his " hs had IN
plenty, but he was ever ready 10 open ms
heart and purse aud share the burdens Of
others.
His ministry was effective Of srea. good.
for his sermons were tender as the plead
ings Of a mother with her children. and his
parlshioners were the objects Of his affec-
tionate care. His duty was ever before
him. and he did it as God gave him Wis
dom and strength. He wa an honor 20
the Christian ministry and q teacher Of
the Word by precept and example,
No telegram from fnr-distant Colon tells
us how he died, but he went away from
here q mere wreck of his former self. We
doubt o that ms decline was steady and
that at last he sank down and fell asleep
as does the weary traveller who finds the
shadow of a great rock in a weary land.

The Davis Fnneral Train.

Tho Wilmington Messenger renews the
suggestion that a committee Of dIstin-
gulshed North Carolinians be appointed
to act as a part of the funeral escort Of the
remains of the Hon. JrrTFEsoN DAVIS from
the time that they reach the line % that
State until they are inferred at Holly
wood.
All the other southern States are going
70 adopt that plan. and we judge that the
Commandant Of the United Confederate
Veterans Of North Carolina Will III due
time announce his committee. Perhaps
he is waiting for the route of the funeral
train to bc announced. 1t Is understood
that all Of the southern trunk lines are
anxious to nave the honor Of providing
this train. and they have made offers than
which nothing could be more generous.
Mr-. DAVIS Is SO feeble ii j. quite m.
likely that She Will be able to make the
trip 70 New Orleans and then turn and
come straight back with the funeral train.
1t is more probable that she Will come to
Richmond and here await the arrival Of
the remains.
