In considering the removal Of the
State capital it should be borne i'll
mind that the claims of no city are i'm
portant only SO far as they tend to ad-
vancc the interests of the whole State.
This reasonable view of the matter
naturally brings Portland into promi-
rcnce-Portland Advertiser.
ii certainly does bring Portland into
prominence and makes prominent the
absurdity of the Juror it is raising on
this removal question. The view of
the Advertiser is certainly reasonable
one. No Portland man can keep d
straight face when he attempts to ar
que that the removal of the capital to
that city would advance the interests
of the whole State.

shatter such a dream. But even at the
risk of being thought old fashioned we
are forced to remark that we have
always understood that the Legislature

pose of busying itself with other af-

that the proIier of legislative rattle.

has about as much to do with the ques-
ton of moving the capital as have
empty words to do with solid argument.

Tribute to The Memory OF
rlrs. Susan n Campbell.

One evening in August, 1851,
three confederate soldiers met at a
little village called Hightown IN
northern Virginia, One was just
conyalescent from case OF typhoid
fever, and the other two had Just
taken fever
All strangers in strange land
and with but little money, the sit
uation- was not comforting, but
mans extremity is Gods opportun-
ity. He loyes to come to Ills peo-
ole in their hour Of distress. lie
loves to soothe the quivering nerves
and ease the aching heart. He
loves to bring light to our minds
in the midst Of our perplexities. He
loves to help us with life's troubles
and at this hour we were not de-
serted. Two old friends that we
knew not Of were busy looking for
a place to shelter them and before
the sun went down they were all
comfortably situated in a new
house. the home Of Mr.. Austin
Campbell. and for the next two
months neither labor nor pains
were spared in administering to
their comfort, as tenderlyas if they
had been their own sons, until they
were entirely restored to healthand
able TO return to their command;
and when they were able to assume
their duties in the ARMY, their ben
efactors " ere so much interested in
them that they offered to lend them
money without security other than
the honor of those young men,
whom they never saw again, al
though the beginning of that au-
tumn day seemed the darkest In
life, but from that time a love and
friendship began, which has not d.
minisbed, but rather grown, AS the
Years go by.
It was the cherished desire Of
those old confederate soldiers, to
meet once more those friends OF
long ago, but as one Of them has
passed over the river we hope to
meet them in that good land where
woes and troubles never come.
With Mrs. Campbell =
The pains Of death ore past,
Labor and sorrow cease,
And life's long warfare closes at
last,
Her soul is found in peace.
Soldier of Christ we'll done,
Praise be thy new employ
And while eternal ages run;
Rest in the Savior's joy.
Mrs. Campbell was a faithful and
loving wife, a fond mother, a good
neighbor and firm and trusted
friend.
Blessed are the dead who die i'll
the Lord, from henceforth yea
saith the spirit that they may res
from their labor and their work dc
follow them.
Life's duty done as sinks the clay.
Light from its bond the splrl
flies,
While heaven aud earth combine
to say,
How blest the righteous when h
dies.
