Johnson said OF Goldsmith that che left
scarcely any kind of writing untouched,
nor touched anything that he did not
adorn.' In poetry this may most truly
be said OF Burns. The han0 that beat

rem, where he became acquainted with
Miss Frances f.. Taylor, whom he mar
ried in 1857.
After their marriage, Mr.. and Mrs.
Woodcock went TO Minnesota to make
home for themselves. At the beginning
OF the Civil war Mr.. Woodcock enlisted
in the 4th infantry regiment of Minnesota
volunteers, and served rs sergeant in his
company. lie was soldier not for hon
or, but for service. He was at the siege
of Nicksburg and on the march to Sa-
vannah. Faithful on duty, patient on
the march courageous in battle, he was
soldier to whom the nation owes the
full tribute of honor due to those who
saved their country.
returned to Minnesota. In this home
the family lived for Il years. Their two
sons were born there. In 1869, at the
urgent request Of an uncle whose failing
health made it necessary for him to Sc
cure faithful and competent person to
assist him Ill the management OF his
business, Mr.. Woodcock returned to his
native state where he remained for six
years. In 1879 he brought his family to
the Pacific coast, reaching Forest Grove,
Or, via San Francisco. He remained
for only few months then spent year
in the Puget Sound country. Being en-
Outraged by correspondence with Mr..
Tanner he came to the Ahtinum valley
aud first rented, and later bought the
place on which he has lived for Is years,
and which was his home at the time of
his death. IL was from this home that
the eldest son, Charles, was carried to
his burial seven years ago
Mr.. Woodcock was Of family trained
to the virtues of sturdy Christian charac-
ter. One OF the two sisters who survives
him, is missionary in India. And Mr..
Woodcock Was first OF all a Christian.
What was needed for the spiritual we'll
being of his family and the community
in which he lived was his first care. He
large things that with large results he
might help others. In this community
he planned for the church IA matter OF
personal responsibility. Aud when the
Ahtanum academy vas located on the
land which he contributed as the first
gift to the institution, his entire posses
sions were put back of the enterprise to
make sure OF its success. From the or
ganizaton OF the academy corporation
until the day OF his death, Mr.. Woodcock
has been the financially responsible man
business, "a well as that Of the academy,
IA a steward of the gifts OF God in the
interests OF Christian education in Yaki-
ma county.
Mr.. Woodco,k is gone, but his works
remain, an eulogy to their author beyond
our power to detract or enlarge. A mar
bic monument marks his tomb, but he
still lives in the hearts If those who are
made better by what he has done for
them, and by personal acquaintance
with that one whose name is inscribed
on the marble, and whose virtues are
written on the hearts Of those whom he
loved, and who knew him but to love
him.
The deceased leaves sorrowing wife
and son, the latter being teacher in the
ColvilIe academy, and the funeral was
deferred until Thursday to admit Of the
young man reaching home aud being
present at the last sad rites.

In proposing the toast ITO the Immor-
tai Memory OF Burns" Mr.. VIM. Ker,
the chairman, said:
When Scotchmen think OF Burns they
think OF him fondly aud proudly. Some
times, it may be, with q feeling of sad
ness. an unuttered sigh for what might
have been. But this feeling cannot last
long as they remember the bright. brave
philosophy of him who sang, Content

have scored it--snd II true in the main,
which We prefer to doubt, it has certainly
many and notable exceptions, and OF
these 10 Burns. To say that he erred is

GENERAL SWANS CLAIM,
1t Will Come Before the Supreme
Court This Week,

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-The claim of
Brigadier-G General d. G.. Swain, retired
formerly Judge Advocate General Of the
army, for the amount of his pay with
held under the execution of the finding
of court-martial, will come before the
supreme Court of the United States this
week for argument, he having appealed
from the decree of the Court of Claims
which rejected his suit
General Swain was tried by a. court
martial on charges preferred by Major
K. n. Scott, acting under orders from the
Secretary of War;, and found guilty of
conduct unbecoming a gentleman and
an officer, and sentenced to be suspended
from rank and duty for twelve years and
to forfeit half his pay for each month
of that period. He sued to recover the
sum so withheld on the ground that the
court-martial which tried him was lille
gally constituted that the charges
against him were not properly preferred
and that the facts proved constituted no
offense.
General Swain has filed a lengthy
brief in support of his appeal, but the
Government law officers have not yet
advised the court of their intentions in
the matter
