A Heroine of Real Life.

Last Wednesday night there died in an
obscure locality IN the city or Columbus
an humble woman. whose death attracted
little attention, save In the poor out
Industrious and worthy family with whom
she lived. There were no ostontatious
displays in the funeral arrangements. and
the attendance was very small-so Few
that the last sad rites were hardly posi-
bic for lack of pall-bearers.
And Vet this woman deserved a better
and more respectful recognition. She was
once wel-to-do in this world. and those
who knew her best and loved her most
say that a nobler and better woman
never lived. She was free-hearted. open
handed, ever ready and willing to ad
minister TO the wants Of others. and 10
alleviate human misery wherever and
whenever found. She raised several or
phan girls. and one OF these, as She gazed
woepingly upon the serene and placid fea-
lures of the dead woman. exclaimed in
agony. "Oh, mother IL seems so strange
and such pity that one who has always
been so kind and loving TO everybody
should miss the loving attention OF theirs
in this last dreary hour
Mrs. Green was not only a Christian
and philanthropist. but a patriot While
vet a young woman, she accompanied her
brother to the battle-felds Of Virginia.
and In the fight AT Seven Pines took
hand herself When her brother fell

when she took aim results were sure TO
follow. Ii is said that few men could
equal her at mark. or bring down more
game on the wing. After the Union SOL
diers had won the day and captured a
number OF prisoners. among them her
wounded brother. she fought her way
through the lines and bore him to a safe
retreat. BY her heroism she won enco-

The Constitution was described as the
greatest document ever given to the world

could be suggested to-day. Four were
advocated by the Senator: First that the
presidential term be increased 10 six
years. and the President be ineligible Tor

that the President be allowed TO veto in

THE COMING SEMINARY.

The decision of the Presbyterian Synods
of North Carolina and Virginia TO remove
their Union Theological Seminary from
Prince Edward county 10 the immediate
vicinity of Richmond has been made by
a decided vote. after long and full con-
alteration OF the subject The institution
will be welcomed by the people OF Rich
mond. The buildings will ornament the
neighborhood It's professors and students
will be an acquisition to any society
The location, which has been given by
that public-sprited citizen Major Lewis
Ginter. is most excellent, and will. we
think. prove even more desirable than IL
now appears.
The construction of the buildings under
present conditions will enable the trustees
10 erect ire-proof structures for little
more than the former cost of combust-
bic houses. 1t was stated recently In
the New York Evening Post that Mr..
ID. O. Mills could now erect his proposed
model houses for men for less
than one-third Of what II cost Mr. A. I.
Stewart TO put up his Park-avenue build
ing for women twenty years ago. We
hope the trustees Of the Seminary Will
get the fun benefit of this change.
The tendency of all educational inst-
tutions. especially theological seminaries.
is TO centres of population. The proper
study of mankind is man" and the OBJ
jcct in life of Christian minister is
10 deaf with the hearts and minds of
men. and the better he can be prepared
for his Iife's work i'm this respect the
better he will fulfill his great mission.
An anchorite would cut but a poor figure
in meeting the everyday questions which
are presented to the busy pastor.
We do not ignore the great truth that
n sincere faith and earnest spirituality
are the fundamental prerequisites for any
preacher of the gospel. but with these
the thoroughly educated minister (and
the Presbyterians will have no other

"savoir faire" will best make full proof
of his ministry. This accomplishment
cannot be obtained except by meeting all
sorts and conditions Of men. and all sorts
and conditions of men are not found in
an isolated rural district.
We we'll understand the wrench and
pain II gives to some friends of the Semi
nary to abandon spot with which are
associations of the dearest nature but
the great Presbyterian Church cannot
stand otherwise than in the front, its
light cannot be hid under bushel. its
city must be set on a hill. We wish them
God-speed in their great work.
