GEORGE w. CRILDS.

Not since the death of Z. S. Grant
has there been such universal express
sions of genuine sorrow as have
been manifested in regard TO the death
of George w. Childs, of Philadelphia.
\ penniless boy, Mr.. Childs uncon-
sciously achieved a fame that thou
sands Of men have sought and failed
to obtain. AS editor and proprietor
OF the Philadelphia Ledger, his name
became household word. AS phi
lanthropist it was ever his aim to net
let his right hand know what his left
hand did. Possessing the confidence
and esteem Of all classes, he passed
over the dark river without fear, and
as was the case with his friend the
great silent warrior and statesman,
the whole world mourns at his bier.
Truly, Blessed are the dead, who die
in the Lord.
