The editor of the Wilmington Stat is not satisfied jritb discussing things down here, but hae gone to speculating on the probable inhabitants of Heaven. Newspaper men are a wonderful set of beings anyhow. They are willing to discuss anythipg from ''Love by Moonlight" to Who is and Who is not in Heaven ; The Star is of the opinion shat if Washington is in beaven be is cot "lontly." He Suds greater men there than be. He may find companionship in that great general, Joshua, or in that great statesman, Moses, or in that mighty .soldier and minstrel, David; or with Paul, the most intellectual of men, and a hero every inch .pf him.. In Tennyson's splendid ode on Wellington i he represents the greatest of British narai commanders, Lord Nelson, as greeting Wel? lington-as be comes, into the world beyond. But i tis'to be boped that Washington is not where Nelson .probably is. . If so, we do not beliere "his eternal loneliness" will ever be broken by companionship with Robert Edward Lee, who loved Jesus and lived for heaven.
