J. dies the loss to a com- is instantly realized but not H easily estimated. value of such a life in indelibly fixed in memory, for it is seldom indeed that one so great in mind and heart is dwelling among us. It is n t the purpose of this writer to attempt a sketch or review of the notable career of thin man, but to mention brief and simple words of some of the qualities and virtues that made him for so long time a valued and distinguished in our midst. Ir. was endowed by nature with rare talents and gifts of mind. His luminous intellect, his fertile brain, superior knowledge, his learning in books and intelligent of human affairs, his inflexible honesty and rectitude in aim and purpose, his laudable and enduring traits of character, all these gave him a high place in the esteem and affections of men. and they bestowed on him their homage and admiration without stint or reservation. As a of long experience and busy and lucrative practice, he stood the forefront of his profession. His superior merits and abilities were widely recognized, and doc- tors far and near bowed to his mature wisdom and sought bin for advice and consultation. He was to his great k, be loved his profession, and mastered it and practiced it as a science and a blessing to mankind. From of his professional ca- bis aptitude and talents made bis progress and success He didn't falter, nor super- on the lint advanced steadily forward and upward to an eminence and distinct ion that but few ever reach. He diligently the steep where proud temple shines became the pride ornament of his profession. Never arrogating to himself superior excellence, he seemed to care nothing for honors of a name, nor sought any of the crafty arts to elevate himself above bis fellows, and yet by his higher wisdom and knowledge, greater learning and experience, he could but fill bis natural place and stand in rank a a with few equals and no in our State. There are nu- families today who feel that there is none other who can take his place as doctor in their homes. In him they bad implicit faith and adoring confidence; their like muffled drums, arc beating mournfully over the departure of him who can visit them no more. Besides his great medical skill, his very presence, his attractiveness, bis hopeful, assuring words, served as a benediction in the sick room, strength in bat disease wasting illness. For the past several years of his aged career he had a and needful assistant in his busy, professional duties in the person of his talented grand- son and namesake, Dr. C. oil. and the partner- ship thus formed gave him some relief from his incessant labors, and these occasional hours of leisure could but be welcome to a nature so ripe years still strong in physical and mental force and apparently unwearied by the four- score years that whitened his head. We may believe that the grand- father felt a just pride in the signal success and growing reputation of the grandson, seeing him so well equipped In brain talents, ready established in a lucrative practice and secure in the public confidence, and destined to wear high honors which he himself adorned for so long a period and gave the best years of his life It can be said with truth that Dr. possessed that would have brought him lofty distinction outside of bis pro- if bis genius bad inclined him to such His powers, his resolute will, bis chivalrous nature and com- presence, would have served him well in any political ambition he might have cherished. in our recollection be had no such aspirations, and at the slight- est intimation of such preferment by his friends he rebelled against the very thought and toss-d back the proffered plume, unwilling to woo the fickle of politics, and immovable in high purpose to pursue with whole mind and heart the one noble be loved honored so well. He was a fluent, earnest and forcible speaker though occasions were when he appeared upon the public rostrum. In response to calls in a political assemblage his addresses were brim- full of reason and logic, delivered in terse cogent English, evoking most hearty applause. He was well in- formed on political questions, and while a vigorous he be the contests between parties should be conducted on a plane of thought and action. The Louisville Courier Journal was one of his favorites newspaper read- being specially loud of the racy and brilliant editorials of Henry so compact in potent and political written in a style so felicitous and vivid. Dr. kept himself in touch with brightest best thought of the times. He was a ripe scholar, his acquaintance with both ancient and modern literature was extensive, and bis memory retentive and failing. classical lore none among us knew near so much as he. To have his critical opinion and comments on any literary question or production was always a delight, for his discourse the erudition of his own brilliant and cultivated mind shone forth in full splendor. By his courtliness of manner and matchless graces of speech be become the sure of all eyes in any circle or company. He could command at- at will by the charms of his conversation. the versa- of his and scope of ac- he could instruct and enlighten by his learning or de- entertain and amuse by his wit and pleasantry. The rich bis vocabulary and apt and witty illustrations made him a fa- and if circumstances his use of the weapons of and ridicule was and most effective. Dr. seemed to live in atmosphere of dignity and state- independence. He stood as a chief among men, not because of self assertion or that he claimed greater excellence, but by right of his honor, his courage, his bis well virtues. There was within a proud that he wore no hypocrisy's mask, and that of the arts of dissimulation he practiced. Mens was his guide. He can led false banners, but fol- lowed the straight and open path. He was candid and sincere all things, and believed in straight- forward honest dealing square and manly fashion. He was bold a in I outspoken in bis opinions, and never spoke low to es- cape oppressor's wrong, the man's He ha- all sharp practices, all and petty policies, and fearlessly denounced wrong or injustice wherever he saw it, uncaring the consequences. His moral nature was never stained by selfish greed unholy In this he never lie- came in the mercenary for wealth. To amass great riches was rot spurred his genius and industry.

Notwithstanding his preeminent powers the exalted station he filled, he was accessible alike to all the lowly as well as the high born, the poor as well as the rich. He tendered his outstretched hand as graciously and spoke greeting words as warmly to the toil-worn man, no matter how sorely tried by poverty's as he did to the opulent and mighty.

Herein summed up the duty of parents, excepting of course the religions training of their children. There been a time when education was not to sharp tools, but at no time in the history of the world has necessity for been so apparent as now. The is greater, chances for building up an independent are smaller, the nations of wealth are more power- ill, and the young man who forges o the front needs to have the tools well sharpened. Education of the rig i kind will alone him Ibis equipment. Therefore, the Supreme duly the parent is to give his children the capacity to win in the competition that lies before them.
