IN MEMQBIAM. The solemn shade of death v has darkened us once more. On Sunday evening, July 31st, Mr. John Querry passed from among the living. His soul has flown to the land of spirits, and his body has been taken by loving hands and, in the presence of a vast congregation, collected to pay the last tribute of respect to onh whom they had known and appreciated, laid away, peacefully to rest, until the heavehly mom. Mr. Querry was a reliable, straight-forward man, and of the most excellent judgment. Every subject with which he had to do was carefully considered, and consequently his words were regarded as those of soberness and truth; and scarcoly ever failed to win the commendation of the intelligent. Those who knew him best trusted him most, and he retained the respect and confidence of his associates to the end of liis life. He desired to be right on all subjects, and having reached a conclusion, there he firmly stood. No longing for popularity could move him, but while firm in holding to what he believed was right, he was not intolerant of the opinions of others, but treated their views with respect. He was an earnest Christian, to whom Jesus was a constant friend. To his widow and children we tender our heartfelt sympathies. May they be guided aad sustained by him who hath said “I will never leave you or forsake you.” As a people we will cherish the memory of the pure and useful life of our friend, and trust that we may meet him again where partings are unknown and farewell tears are never

shed.

Self-preservation, th<S first law of nature, leads those in office to devote their time and energy to keeping in, rather than to the public service in which they are engaged. —[Boston Transcript The civil service will become what we need when no one is appointed to office, but the man best fitted to. do Its duties, no one kept in office who does not perform its duties, and no one removed from office so long as he faithfully and ably fulfills its duties.— [James Freeman Clarke. There are hundreds of thousands of pure and patriotic men in both Organizations who are rendered wholly powerless by the machine management of each, and who are politically enslaved by leaders that secretly unite whenever a venal object is to be gained by combination.—[David Davis. Gen. Garfield undertook to please everybody, which was impossible, and was a mistake beyond all question. Nevertheless, it was an error that proves the right intentions of the president, while it is not one which people generally, will admit to have given any politician a right to complain.—f Boston Advertiser.
