/ purify and refresh IL at the springs.
| The actual and essential story Of that
| life lies deeper, and would be found De-
| meath the surface, in the current Oh IN
| tellecual development and the analysis
| of literary achievement. Captain Drink
| ard was not one of the few who build
! monuments essentially great in literature,
! and thus strongly command ana retain
J the attention and interest. He was
| man OF fine talents and lovely character,
who devoted himself to the service OF
| Journalism, and who made his mark in
] that field-broad, strong, brilliant, and
| noble The great public cannot nationally
! be supposed to cherish a deep interest in
| such a personality for a great length OF
| time after it's career has ended. But 1t
was a personality that blessed many
| who never heard of It, while those whose
privilege IT was to know his labors and
their value will tendery mediate now
upon the beautiful traits Of his mind, the
charm Of his companionship, and the
lesson of his pure, devoted, beneficent
life.
HIS LAST LONG ILLNESS.
Captain Drinkard's death was the re-
suit of a disease which has been slowly
undermining his constitution for several
years. For the past two years-ever since
able to undertake work OF any sort About
three weeks ago his condition grew more
alarming, and he lost the use of his limbs
He grew gradually worse until last Sat
urday night, when he sank into a coma,
which lasted until the end came, and he
passed away yesterday quite peacefully,
without having regained consciousness,
being surrounded at the time by his chill
dren and several Of his most intimate
friends.
