The correspondent here of the Assoc

that the Americans have submitted an

proposals for a permanent tribunal are

tutions of learning in the state, and de-
liVered addresses to the students. AT dit-
ferent times he made addresses to con-
ventions of the teachers OF the public
schools and to national organizations. His
Address of Welcome" AT Yorktown. in
1881, has been spoken OF as an able and
glowing conception,
A GREAT TRAVELLER.
Governor Holiday did not resume the
practice of his profession after his retire
ment from office, but devoted himself
mainly to study and the cultivation OF his
farm near Winchester. He spent much
of his time i'm travel. having visited Next
co, the West Indies. the Sandwich Is
lands, the western slope Of the Pacific,
and the interior States and Territories In
the Western, and Great Britain and Ire
land and a large portion of the north OF
the Continent of Europe in the Eastern
Hemisphere. and made a trip around the
world. In these tours he keenly enjoyed
the study afforded Ey critical observation
of the grandeur and beauty Of nature and
art the material development and the
social life of the countries through which
he wandered. He was everywhere the
recipient of marked attention, private and
official. Governor ltOlluay mas Dten twice
married, first i'm 1868, TO Hannah Taylor.
daughter Of Thomas Mccormick. of Clarke
count, Va. She lived but a short time.
In 1y.l he married. secondly. Caroline CAL
vert, daughter OF DR.. Richard III. Stuart.
OF King George county, who also died
within year No issue survives by either
marriage.
In person Governor Holiday was of
commanding stature, being fully feet IN
height and finely proportional. Markedly
intellectual in feature, genial and pre-
possessing in manner, his presence In
spired confidence and respect. He was
the soul of honor, jealous Of the slightest
infraction of that OF Virginia. pure Ex-
ecutlve. and faithful citizen.
Speaking some time since in vindica-
ton OF his administration, he said: "As
Governor in a prominent light before the
people of my own State. and before the
world | rejoice in all my efforts then TO
keep alive In the hearts of Virginans the
honor and glory OF a famous Common
wealth. and. from subsequent events, am
only the more confirmed In the correct
ness of my course. / would not. for my
life. blot one word then spoke or wrote"
Governor Holiday was a Virginian TO
the hearts core. soldier who would have
shed lustre upon the arms of any people,
and gentleman without repyoach.
