"I have known tin' dear old professor, ur 'pro,' a* wo always called hlui, over ttini'o 1 kni-w anything. llo was one of my father's dearest friends, utul a tic , 1 1 1 1 ? 1 1 1 , almost daily visitor at our house, fit' I i vim I in a dm cluing home, about if> minutes* walk from ours, ami always , H it in our pew at church, wlioro ho lis tened to my father's preaching. l ather ? Hard to say that hi' got moro Ideas from llii? 'pro' for his sermons than ftvm any /.ihi'f source. Il<- always wi-nt straight from tho pow to tin* vestry ami would givo father his opinion of tho sermon, l'nuuontly whilo tho svnnon waa being (J.-liverod ho would exhibit hi.s approval by thumping on tho floor witji his oaue^ II.- always walked home with us from church Sunday, and would sit and drink a * ass of sherry with father, talking for an hour or two in a m??st interesting maniior. Father always considered his eiitiiisel and advice most helpful. ? lie waa a nnxst lovable man, sweet In .?very respect, although at times scorning !y boisterous in his apparently youthful exuberance of spirit. lie was full of humanity; loved nil mankind, and was lioloveil in return. When Mr. Kcllar and I wore in Scotland ahout a year and- a half ago with our daughter Hilda, slio was afraul of him at lirst, but he won h.-r over, and she soon became perfectly devoted to him. "No; ho had no children, and it waa always a grief to him, and his good wife that survives him, that they never had any. They adopted a nephew, who lived with t hem. Professor Ulnekie <wns slight of l.nlld hul strong, am' had never been ill or even isiok, until about a year ago, w hell a had cold left him fcehle. I had u leiiii fr.iSil my ? week or two ago. in which he spoke of l?!ackie as visibly falling. 11" wns every body's frit mi. The poor and humble loved and revered him, and the rich and powerful admired him. lie was not particularly attached to dumb animals. I never svw one in his house, and he never owned a horse or even rode in a carriage If the distance could bo covered by walking, lie was a great walker, and presented a pioturisquo appearance, with his shawl folded around him in place of an over coat, and swinging his gold-headed cane, held in an almost, horizontal position. Tho cane was never used for assistance; ho never needed it for that. "He used to tell ns that ho adopted wearing a shawl when he was 1oo poor to buy an overcoat, and contiurtfd it on account of its warmth and comfort. Tic was singularly eccentric in his dresB at home. lOxcf-pt when at a full dress din ner, he always wore a dressing gown With a red silk scurf, yards long, wound around his waist and a Panama straw hat on his head. This was his working costume. lie wore the hat because ho said his head was cold without it. and when one was worn out would buy an other just like it. II" wrote at a stand ing desk and was always singing. lie was an early riser ami could be hoard singing a round the house or wherever visiting at 5 or (! o'clock in the morn ing and never went to bed before mid night. I have "heard him say that four or live hours was enough for any man to spend in sleep. "Professor Blaeklo wns eccentric it. another way. He lifitod to carry lug gage when travelling. When we wore living in (Jlasgow, the 'pro' v ltd tod us frequently and only carried as lnggage a clean collar wrapped up in a piece of newspapor We knew his ways and al ways provided him with other essentials. Gladstone, the CJrand Old Man, 'one of hi.s nearest friends, once telegraphed him to moot him at tho Marquis of Hroadifl ba.no' cattle, ami he went there, cane in hand, with tho clean collar wrapped in a piece of newspaper. In spite of his wife's protestations. When Ix>rd Kosi* bery was married to Miss Rothschild. Professor Blackie was one of tho quests and presented the bride with a book in scribed 'To "Hannah Ttoseberry.' ignoring her title. He cared not for rank: if per sons were nice he liked them, no matter what their station. He never partici pated in spoils, but approved of a t lib-ties, games of cricket, etc. "The professor was a great linguist and conducted in Edinburgh in the win ter a Hellenic Society with twenty op thirty men in the society and two or three ladies. tJrock would be read and translated into Knglish for two hours, and then would follow .supper. The so ciety met at 1lio members' Iioiisim in si?<Vivsion and the ladies of (lie house hold would join the party at supper. My lather would be loqtiir.d to say grace in tJrook and the speeches at the supper would l.e in tli^ same language. "lie Jo veil the IS reck language ami an ins ci>rr<-;poudence with me had on the letter or else on the envelope the sentence, 'Speaking the i ruth in love,' in (Sreck. This was one of his marked clia ravtcristics.

"He wiiH not a member of any church, although a regular attendant at my father's. Our hymn books and IliWlcs were covered with poems written by him during the service. If there was a strange minister the 'pro' would indicate his approval or disapproval of the preacher in verse written on the inside of one of the books in the pew. "Professor and Mrs. Hla. kle ci lobrsted their golden wedding about three yitars ago and I sent him a book by Profissor .lohiu-ou of Trinity on the 'Philosophy of Language.'

Whether Delaware will have another Hc i -uhllcan governor or not In the present pom orat Ion depends on the Republicans of ( lie legislature. If they continue their factional quarrels and refuse to unite and elect a United Statr<s senator, all that has been gained by the Hopuhlleans in DolawaVo will be lost by folly and per fidy. Kew York Tribune: Incomes derived from rents cannot bo taxed, the Court decides, but by what -strange 'device of I* gal injustice can the gains of a farm er realized by labor on bis land be hold taxable? Is tho landlord sacred, and only laltor to bo taxed? So when a Justice urged that savings banks and mutual in surance companies could not bo t-xempt id without violating the constitutional provision against unequal taxation, Wid found tho majority holding Uiat tho Court had no power to impose a tax, and therefore no power to declare an exemp tion invalid, it would liav? seemed to plain people, and to many lawyers, an irrcslsllblo conclusion that an act con taining constitutional features, so woven in that they could not be gotten out oi it, must iself be held unconstiutional as a whole. lioston Herald: It was not to be expect ed that a man who had thf? reckless un serupulousness of Rev.

And well it mighty. Time was when there was a (lo cITIfd Kgyptlan "Influence" in tho upper Nile valley, but the Mahdl obliterated that w/hen ho took Khartoum. As for British Influence there. It only existed In a kind of second-hand way, through Egypt, and it was swallowed up In con tempt when CJreat Britain allowed Gor don to perish. If the French minister will translate Influence Into covetousness ho will s>.e the scale on which tho Brl- > tlsli mltm sees the British spliero of In fluence. France Is unquestionably In tho right in this African dispute bo far as either of these nations Is right, and she Indubitably nioaris?, as tho minister said, to maintain hur plain rights. 4 4c.
