The Serious Illn«>ss of Ilie ^losi

His many friends will regret to learn of Iii«seriousillness of Ur. .1nines Albert (51 bert. of
Bordeaux, in this county.Ijist Friiiay lie was paralyzed, ami sinee
then has been in an unconscious condition Junable to swallow either food or water.
l>r. Ciibert was ttorn in ISIS, am! is now sev-
enty-three years of age. He was iwice married.y IK second wife survives. He had orlytwo childceu.James Albert Gibert, Jr., ami
Mrs. Onille T. Calhoun. The latter ilietl
some four years ago, leaving an infant who
hits since been earn! for by its gland parents.Dr. Gibert was a lineal descendant or the
Huguenots who tied from France because oi
religious persecution, liis grandfather was
minister of the colony and Dr. I tel.si Howe,the founder of the Del.a Howe school, was
the physician of the colony, and contemporaryof Dr. Gibert's grandfather.The Hugueuots were an important factor in
the formation of the religious and moral
principles of the people of At}lieville county, and in Doctor Gibert's strfci integrity,high moral character,and gentlemanlydeportment, were exemplified the best,traits of his ancestors. He is the courteousouniivmiin ami honorable citizen under anyand all circumstance-, and lives in private tile
on his princely estate-never having soughtpublic ortlce.He never entered politics. Hit loved his
country, and was ever aligned with the bevt
people in all ttieir struggles and in all their
chief endeavors. Eudowed with high impulseshe always supported, iu elections, tinmenof the highest type and of the best andmost patriotic motives.Tall aud commanding in his person, high
in his auibi'ions, exalted in character, and
kindly of heart he is looked up to as the bead
of the descendents of the Huguenots in litis
county,and is really the most conspicous personliving on the Savannah side.It was his ancestors and their associates
that established the famous school taught byDr. Waddell, and It wa< to them that we are
Indebted for the early establishment ol
churches in this county, and it was their
trlend and associate that left his munificentestate to establish the DeLa Howe school for
poor children. Always a moral and religiouspeople theGibert's have made their impresson the people of the county, and rememberingthe history and traditions of their ancestors,they have held to the faith of their fathers,and have done much to establish andmaintain a high standard of education, while
Impressing the Christian precepts and teachingthe morality which Is most conducive to
human happiness.htrrhor than Iir. Gibert. lie
mini
has lived a blameless life, and his Influencehas always been for the best moral, spiritualand temporal welfare of those who have hailthe privilege of bis friendship or acquaintance.
The Augusta Chronicle.
The office of that noble old paper the AugustaChronicle was burned last Saturdaymorning.The flames were discovered iu a neighboringbuilding at 2.4.j iu the morning. Reporterswere immediately sent out to get the particulars,and faithful type setters remained »it
\helr cases until the heat of the approachingflames were oppressive. While flames were
sweeping the walls and burning the windowsot the upper stories, the press on the lower
floor whose wheels never refused logo, turnedoff the whole edition of the Chronicle in
which was full particulars of the lire up to
the moment of going to press, and which predictedits own destruction only a lew minutes
before the building and all the machinerywas in ruins.The Issue of Saturday morning was sent
abroad, and yesterday Sunday's edition cameto us as fresh and just as good as ever, like refinedgold, better for having undergone its
trying ordeal.Superior effort and greater energy under depressingcircumstances were never displayed.The Chronicle is now a hundred years ohl,

Extracts from Christian Neighbor.Ambition.
Ambition is deli 1led thus : A i eagerand some times »u inordinate desire of
preferment, honor, superiority, poweror other object.Ambition is to lie commended when
the object desired is of sufficient worthto justify the effort to obtain it.
The ambition of one man is to getriches; that of another id preferment;another is desirous of honor; anotherdesires oftice ; another thirsts for fame
and so on.
According to the strength of desireis readiness of a man to avail himselfof means by which he may g»iin theIobject desired. The desire may becomeinordinate, the "ru'ing passion,"and when thi* is the case the man hecomescorrespondingly regardless ofthe difference between the right andthe wrong of the meaus used, actingas he does, on the principle that "theend justifies the means." Such a man
is unworthy to trust aud is really dangerous.Assuming tha^the desires specified
are, within proper limits, more or lesscommendable, yet they are of theworld."the lust of the flesh, and thelust of the eyes, and the pride of life".and with the world pass away outlie that desires to do and does the willof God abides forever.The desire for military fame is in itselfevil because the object sought and
the means employed to gain such fameinvolve wickedness extreme. Forwhat is more wicked than the destructionof men's lives in war? Nothing,except the conduct of those men whodevise and order the wholesale slaughteron battle field that they themselvesmay get the fame of war /icroen, albeittheir precious carcasses are generallyout of the range of the bullets andshells fired from the lines of battle.These get fame for "that which ishighly esteemed among men butwhich is abomination in the sight ofGod." How can preachers of the gospelof peace in their sermons eulogisewar heroes when their heroism hasbeen gained by exploits which antagonizethe kingdom of Jesus Christ?Shall one man be made famous accordingto the number of men's lives he
ot*rl onnfhor man hpua» ucai/i \jj wu) uuu uiivvtiv*
made famous according to the numberof souls he, as ageut under God,- hassaved? Aside from military achievementsthe "heroes" may be men offair character, but with their exploitstaken on the Scripture is suggested :
