OBITUARIES, FOREIGN. 



Lord Derby again came into power in 1866, he 

 made Sir Hugh Cairns Attorney-General. In 

 October of the same year he became Lord Jus- 

 tice of Appeal, and in Febuary, 1867, was cre- 

 ated a peer, under the title of Baron Cairns of 

 Garmoyle. He took a prominent part in the 

 discussion of Disraeli's Reform Bill, and intro- 

 duced into it the principle of cumulative voting. 

 He was the leader in the resistance against the 

 disestablishment of the Irish Church. When 

 Mr. Disraeli took Lord Derby's place at the 

 head of the ministry in February, 1868, Lord 

 Cairns succeeded Lord Chelmsford as Lord 

 Chancellor. When the House of Lords was 

 constrained to yield on the Irish Church ques- 

 tion, a compromise was effected in a conference 

 between Earl Granville and Lord Cairns. In 

 1869 he laid down the leadership of the Con- 

 servative party in the upper house, but con- 

 sented to resume it the following session. In 

 February, 1874, Mr. Disraeli formed his Cabi- 

 net, with Lord Cairns as Lord Chancellor again, 

 which office he held until the ministry went 

 out in 1880. He introduced the Irish Univer- 

 sity Bill. In 1878 he was made Viscount Gar- 

 moyle and Earl Cairns. In 1881 he delivered 

 a telling speech against Mr. Gladstone's policy 

 in the Transvaal. Lord Cairns's political and 

 judicial dignities were not allowed to stand in 

 the way of his taking an active part in Sunday- 

 school teaching and in popular meetings for 

 various religious and philanthropic objects. His 

 parliamentary style was that of a lawyer. He 

 never affected the arts of the typical leader of 

 debates ; yet his grasp of political subjects was 

 so s>ure and his eloquence so clear and forcible 

 that the Conservative party wavered between 

 selecting him or Lord Salisbury or Sir Stafford 

 Northcote for its leader. He was succeeded 

 in the earldom by his son, Viscount Garmoyle. 



Camphansen, Wilhelm, a German painter, born 

 in Dusseldorf, Feb. 8, 1818; died there, June 

 19, 1885. The subjects of his paintings were 

 scenes in the Franco-Prussian War and other 

 military events. His paintings of Frederick 

 the Great surrounded by his generals, the 

 Great Elector, and the Emperor Wilhelm at 

 Gravelotte, hang in the Old Palace in Berlin. 

 Some of his earlier works represent scenes in 

 the war of the Cavaliers and Roundheads. 



Carl Anton, Prince of Hohenzollern, head of the 

 Catholic branch of the family, born Sept. 7, 

 1811; died June 2, 1885. He succeeded to 

 the principality of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen 

 Aug, 28, 1848, upon the abdication of his fa- 

 ther. After the suppression of the revolution 

 he took the first step that was made toward 

 the foundation of the present German Empire 

 by voluntarily surrendering his dominions to 

 the Prussian crown on April 6, 1850. His hope 

 of thereby promoting the unification of Ger- 

 many was doomed to immediate disappoint- 

 ment, but an active and honorable career re- 

 paid him for the loss of the empty dignity of a 

 faineant sovereign. He became an officer of 

 the Prussian army, and was appointed Military 



Governor of the Rhine Province and "West- 

 phalia. His counsels were sought by the Prus- 

 sian King, and when the present Emperor be- 

 came Regent, Prince Anthony was called to 

 the head of the Cabinet in October, 1858. 

 The ministry of the " new era " failed, howev- 

 er, to satisfy the country, and retired in 1862. 

 Prince Anthony then took up his residence at 

 Dusseldorf as Military Governor of the Rhine 

 Province, where he lived in friendly inter- 

 course with artists, and collected antiquities 

 and works of art. When his son Leopold was 

 offered the Spanish crown, he used his pater- 

 nal authority to induce him to withdraw his 

 candidacy, but the dispatches of "Father An- 

 thony " were only ridiculed in Paris, and did 

 not avert the war. He was the first to per- 

 ceive the abilities of Bismarck, and wished to 

 secure his appointment as Foreign Minister 

 as early as 1860. His wife, a princess of Ba- 

 den, and four children, survive him. Leopold, 

 the eldest, is a lieutenent-general in the Ger- 

 man army ; Charles, the second, is the King 

 of Roumania ; Frederick, the third, is a bri- 

 gade commander in the Guards ; Stefanie, the 

 eldest daughter, died in 1859 the wife of Pe- 

 dro V of Portugal ; and Marie is married to 

 a brother of the King of the Belgians. His 

 son Anthony was killed at Koniggratz. 



Cashmere, Rnnbeer Singh, Marajah of, died 

 Sept. 14, 1885. In 1857 he succeeded his fa- 

 ther, Golab Singh, a military adventurer whom 

 the British made ruler of the new state of 

 Cashmere, created upon the overthrow of the 

 Sikhs in 1846. Runbeer aided the British in 

 the mutiny. Tyranny was practiced upon his 

 Mohammedan subjects to such an extent that 

 the Indian Government intervened in the fam- 

 ine year of 1879. 



Castella, General, aSwiss politician and soldier, 

 died in November, 1885. Escaping from pris- 

 on, where he was confined for taking part in 

 the insurrection that broke out in Freiburg, 

 his native canton, after the conclusion of the 

 Sonderbund war, he joined the Pontifical ar- 

 my. He served gallantly in the defense of 

 Rome, and after the capture of the city by the 

 Italian troops he went to France, and was giv- 

 en a command in Bourbaki's army, which was 

 driven into Switzerland and surrendered to a 

 Swiss force. Interned until the end of the 

 war, he then joined Don Carlos and held a high 

 place in the insurrectionary army until it was 

 dispersed. He subsequently interested himself 

 in the politics and the military organization of 

 his own country. 



Caner, Carl, a German sculptor, born in Bonn 

 in 1828; died in Kreuznach, April 17, 188 

 He was the son of a distinguished sculptor, and 

 in association with his brother Robert main- 

 tained an atelier in Kreuznach and one at Rome, 

 and supplied the museum at Berlin with casts 

 from antique sculptures. Among his works 

 are a portrait bust of King Wilhelm IV, a 

 bronze "Olympian Victor," portrait statues of 

 the Austrian Emperor, Prince Metternich, and
