ing Rebellion.

LindIey Smyth, we'll and prom inently
known in this city, where he has rela-
tions, and former president OF the
Pennsylvania Company for 1nsurances
on Lives and Granting Annuitles, died
yesterday morning at his home, No. 1920
Arch street, Philadelphia, after long
illness.
Mr.. Smyth was born in this city July
%, 1916. His father gave him broad
and liberal education, and in 1881 he
went to Philadelphia and took position
with the firm of Candy 4 Lowering,
sugar refners. In 1889 he entered the
succeeding firm of J. S. Lowering & Co.,
then on Church alley. He retired from
active business December 81, 1860.
Mr.. Smyth was one Of the founders OF
the Union Club, out of which grew the
Union League, at the outbreak Of the
Civil War, and he was most active in
aiding the Federal Government during
that struggle.
He was Chairman Of the Publication
Committee of the Union League during
the war and was Of very great service
to the country through his liberal gifts
and devotion to the cause.
It is held by many that it was due
LARGELY to the exertions OF Mr.. Smyth
that the State o. Pennsylvania was held
firmly to the Union during that critical
period.
1t is believed that it was in recognition
of his patriotic efforts that President
Grant offered him the portfolio Of the
Navy, upon the retirement OF Adolph
Borie, post which Mr.. Smyth de-
clined.
Mr.. Smyth was elected a director OF
the Pennsylvania Company for 1nsur-
ances on Lives and Granting Annuities
on January 20, 1868, and he remained
identified with the Board until his
death.
He became President OF the Company
on January 2l, 1873, and held that office
until January II, 1893, when he resigned,
being succeeded by Henry N. Paul, who
has been vice-president from 1856, and
who now holds the presidency.
Mr.. Smyth was for years director OF
the Farmers and Mechanics National
Bank, Philadelphia, and also of the
Philadelphia Saving Fund Society. After
his retirement from the Presidency of
the Pennsylvania Company he took no
active part in business affairs.

the ordinary postage stamps not so
imprinted were used for internal

would be regarded rs mstampcd and
treated accordingly. Attention is

G. Walt Within ain.

New York Sun: One candidate
for the Democratic nomination for
Governor of South Carolina sinks or
ewims under name of mark. We
learn from the Augusta Herald that
sWalt Whitman is unique" although
he bears a name of reincarnation.
The Palmetto Walt "courts the bicy-
Gle vote. lie has a wheel and q
costume, and instead of patronizing
the railroads like tho other candi-
dates, he scorchcs from one town to
another, makes his speech, and with
out waiting for tho meeting to. close
starts out for the next town." Thus
does Walt Whitman combine rapid
canvass with the stern joy of not
paying a cent to railroad corpora
tions. Still the disciples Of Captain
Ben Tillman must regard q candidate
on casters as a frivolous and vain
person, capable of being a money
changer.
