The Death of Dr. Simonds.
Newt and Courier, June 13.
Dr. Andrew Simonds died st his res?
idence on the Battery yesterday after
neon, at half-past 6 o'clock, in the 69th
year of bis age. Just a? the ?an waa
sinking to rest he gassed quietly and
peacefully away, surrounded'' by bia
amily a^d friends.
Dr. Simonds was taken seriously ill
oe May 30, and from the first his phy?
sician had grave forebodings as to his
recovery, and exactly one week ago it;
was decided that a surgical operation
was necessary. The disease had trou?
bled Dr. Simcnds for some time and
was located in the intestines.
Dr. Andrew Simonds was bern in
Abbeville County, S. C., a county
which has giren so many distinguished
men to the State, in the same bouse in
th? Calhoun Settlement" in which
?j his mother, Jane Hamilton Calhoun,
was born. In 1860 he married a
daughter of the Hen. John A. Calhoun,
a relative on his mother's side.
His career ia life commenced at~18
years of age as a teacher ia the West,
where he engaged to teach only the rud?
iments ot* English. But he was soon
asked to teach thu classics. He had
never opened a classical book. This
was a crucial test for a boy of 18 years,
but young Simonds was equal to the
emergency. Commencing a day ahead
of his class he carried his pupils through
(he Latin grammar successfully,
making himself a fair latta scholar, and
the? took them through tb? excruci?
ating intricacies of the Greek grammar.
Thia early in life he displayed that
determined pluck which knows no fail?
ure. While teaching ta tl? West he
boarded with a physician who employed
him Jb9 attend to his office, prepare pre?
scriptions and look after the place.
I During this time he read medicine and
aided in the office practice. By the ad?
vice of this physician he determined to
qualify himself for practice. For awhile
he read kt the o&oe of the late Dr. Eli
Geddings, of this city, his life-long per?
sonal friend. He found, however, that
he ?ad neither taste nor talent for the
profession of medicine, and soon turned
his attentk* te ?ercantile pursuits, in
which in a few years he made an ample
fortune, on which be retired from bus?
iness in 1859 while quite a young man.
About this time the Legislature de?
termined to establish a branch of the
Bank of the State in the Northwestern
part of the State. Dr. Simonds was
then one of the leading directors of tbe
mother bank in Charleston and was4
selected to locate the branch, f?e vis?
ited the section and selected the town
of Abbeville. He was at once elected
president of the new bank, and his first
official act was to erect a handsome
banking house, which is now occupied
by the National Bank of Abbeville.
By his advice the money and assets of j .*
the mother bank in Charleston were
sent to him for safe-keeping during the
war. He saved all and returned with
them in tue fall of 1865 without the loss
of a Bingie dei lar.
Io November, 1865, he came to
Charleston and organised the First
National Bank, of which he was elected
president, a position which he held
until his death. He was thus a bank
president for nearly a quarter of a cen?
tury, and for a part of that time presi?
dent; of two " banks. Dr. Simonds
always declined public office. All the
successes of hts early life, however,
were surpassed by his record as a
banker, it is in this sphere that he ac?
quired a national reputation. His
opinions were oftea asked on financial
and other pubiio questions and were
published both at home-and jn financial
journals of the North and West. His
replies were models of pith and brevity,
owing to the happy faculty wbioh he j
possessed of saying much iu a few ] j
words.
His natural aptitude for dealing with
financial questions developed so rapidly
that he has been called a bern financier.
His strong points were his superior j
judgment and self reliance. Many who (
have diffejed from him ia his large j t
financial operations at the time, have
admitted in the end that he was always
right. He often quoted Napoleon's
favorite aphorism, "One bad general is
better than two good ones," believing
that cn3nclal operations, like those of
war, to be successful must be subject to
the absolute will of one.
Dr. Simonds held a majority of the
6tock of the First National Bank and
absolutely controlled its management.
His large investments in United StateB
4 per cent bonds, and his advieer freely
given to all to do likewise, and his
persistent holding of them because they
were the longest lived of all the Govern?
ment issues, showed a wonderful saga?
city and the soundest of judgment'.
His faith in Government securities
was never shaken. Ile conducted his
bank on the soundest financial princi?
ple, keeping its business under his
personal control, believing that con?
servatism in banking is the great bal?
ance-wheel which keeps thc whole com?
mercial niachiuery ia good ruur.insr
order. He often said that the neglect
of the cardinal principles of banking
results in the end ia loss to the com?
munity, as well as to the back. The
greatest success of Dr. Simonds life ts
j thc First National Dank of Charleston.
Dr. Simonds was a patron of the fine
arts, and b'd in his elegant residence
on South ??attcrv one cf thc finest
picture galleries south of Washington.
He was always chary of his promises,
but when once made they were as good
as bib bond.
Beside? bein? president of the First
National Bink, Dr. Simonds was prcsi
I dent of the Simonds National Rink of
j Sumter, and of the Carolina Construe- I
; tiou Company, director in the Charles- j
I ton Savings institution, president of
j thc Water Works Company, director in
j thc Charleston Gas Light Company, j
director ia elie Carolina Real Hst ate j
Company of i> ?seu.cr, Aia , member j
of the board of health, vic? president
for South Carolina of the American
Bankers' Association, director in tin

the St. Cecilia SocicJy, the Queen City :

The President of Che American Po
Enologieal Society is well known to
many of our readers, ile "has long
been prominent in horticultural matters,
ind comes of a horticultural family.
Although Belgian by birth, he is thor?
oughly identified with American insti?
tutions. When bat eighteen years old
be was associated with his father, ih.
Louis E. Berckmans, in the preparation
)f thc "Album de Pomelogie," which
was, in its time, acknowledged to bo
.he most accurate and complete work on
fruits. Boru in 1S30, he came to thc
Uuiied States in 1850. Father and.
son erected a beautiful place ia Plain
Seld, N. J., using for this purpose the
large collection of trees brought from
Belgium. Six years later they bought,
i large tract of land near Augusta, Ga., '
which has siace become renowned as
the Fruitland Nurseries. As an impar?
tial judge, close observer and horticul?
tural worker, he is esteemed by all, and
sve have no higher authority on the
identity of fruits. His reputation as a
writer on subjects within his sphere is]
leservcdiy high, and extends wherever
idvanced horticulture is practiced. In
1876 he was mainly instrumental in
forming the Georgia State Horticultu?
ral Society In 1871 he succeeded
Charles, Downing as Chairman of tho
Committee on Native Fruits of the
American Pomological Society, which
ie joined in I860 and has been so .close-j
y identified with since. In 1883 he
?ras elected first vice-president, and was
manimously elected president to sue-:]
?eed the late Marshall P. Wilder. Theil
moice was a wise one, bringing increas
;d interest in the society where it was
lot felt before, and developing its truly
?ational character. The success af the
ecent meeting of the society in Florida
tttests the truth of these remarks.

The Later Dew Theory.
It is now held bv tho best physicists
that, instead of falling from above,
thc aew rises to tho earth. The cen?
trally received opinion that the dew
s formed of vapor existing at the
imo in tho atmosphere must oe riven
ip for tho established fact that the
?apor which rises from tho heated
?arth is trapped by the cold surface
?arth. Besides, when we imagine
hat, on a cool evening after a sultry
lay in summer, our feet are being wet
ty- tho dew on tho grass, wo maso a
irave mistake. For that moisture on
he grass is not dew at all, it is false
lew-in reality the transpired humor
>f the plants. The drops at tho tips,
which glisten diamond like, are not
lew; close examination shows that
these crystalline spheres are all situated
it tho point where the veins of tho
eaves cut the outer edges. Theso
hops only give evidence of tho vitali
vof tho plant The diff?rence between
;he trae aew on the grass and the ex
lded drops through tho veins from
viihin the grass can be easily distin?
guished; for tho former is distributed
ill over the blade in a moist film;
whereas the latter are of some size and
ire situated near the tips of the blade,
MterecL then, is the meaning of tho
ino, "ilka blado o' grass kens its ain
Irap o' dew;" for those brilliant glob
ales on tho petal, shaking to tho samo
?weet air, and often "gliding at once
ill fragrant into one," aro not dew
Irons, but are tho exudations of the
icaltny plants. They give evidence
>f tho elixir vive of vegetation ; where
!s thc true dew is the pearly luster,
Tarnished, in filmy humidity over tho
j?adcs by that wondrous alchemy
milich transforms the water vapor
rising froui the ground into tho plunt
?efr?shiii?r dew?-Good Words. ,
