D-alU of Br- Mo it John iKit.et
Wilmington, and not Wilmington only,
bnt the State and the entire medical pro
fession as well, have cause to mourn the
death of this most estimable gentleman.
He breathed his last on yesterday morn
iug at 9 o'clock, in this city, at the resi
dence of his father, Dr. A. J. DeBosset,
after a long illness of great suffering
which he bore with patience and chris
tian resignation, passing to his rest in the
blissful hope of a glorious immortality.
Dr. DeBosset was born in 1838 and
was a lineal descendant of a family dis
tinguished in our annals for wealth, in
telligence and virtue, and inherited in a
large degree those qualities which gen
erally insure success in any pursuit in
life to which they may be applied. He
had talents of the highest order, an intel
lect acute and discriminating, that en
abled him to readily detect the true from
the false in any proposition however art
fully concealed in glittering sophisms or
brilliant metaphors. He abhorred shams
of every kind and loved the truth for the
truths sake. Was . true to himself,
to his kinsfolk, to hi3 friends and
his country; and in all the
relations of life and under circumstances
sometimes moat trying, was always the
upright man and the true gentleman.
Like all men of true nobility of mind he
shunned notoriety and was remarkable,
as much so if not more than any one we
have ever known for his unaffected diffi
dence and that modesty in the express
ion of his opinions which i3 always the
accompaniment of true genius. He had
large culture, extensive reading and
great scholarly attainments; was familiar
with the classics and with the German
and French languages, and held the pen
of a ready writer, as his contributions
to numerous scientific magazines abun
dantly prove. Nature had indeed been
prodigal iu her gifts, and cultivation
had given a finished and rounded com
pleteness to his intellectual powers. He
had great advantages in the acquire
ment of knowledge, and he ardently em
braced them; was a lover of books, and a
thinker, and was eminently practical as
well as theoretical. In early youth be
was sent to Europe to a then celebrated
school in Switzerland where he took his
academic course and obtained his pro
ficiency in the French and German lan
guages. Upon his return home, having
scarcely reached his majority, he enter
ed upon the study of medicine, attended
the Medical College of New York, and
graduated at that institution with high
distinction. As an evidence of his ac
quirements, even at that early age we
may mention that he was one of four in
a class of fifty students who passed a
corapetetive examination for a position
in Bellevue Hospital, New York, and
was appointed by the faculty to that
position which he held for eighteen
months, when the breaking out of the
war called him home to share the for
tune of his State and people. He was
immediately appointed an assistant sur
geon by the Confederate government
and served in the first campaign in
North Western Yirginia, and was with
Stonewall Jackson in his world renown
ed valley campaign. In the fall of 1862
he was made fall surgeon and ordered to
Bichmond, appointed Inspector of Hos
pitals, and afterwards assigned to duty at
the Officers Hospital and was
recognized by all of the profes
sion with whom he came in contact, as
a skilled practioner, a brilliant operator,
and a man of brains. He served through
the war, and at its close removed to Bal
timore, where he gained much .reputa
tion in his profession, but 'desiring a larg
er field of action, he established himself
in the city of New York, and making
the treatment of those delicate organs
the eye and the ear, a specialty, he soon
became prominent among the learned
and scientific, and was rapidly rising to
distinction, when he was stricken down
by the fell destroyer which terminated
his career at such am early .age. He was
an honor alike to our city and eur S tate
and C2p 'people have surely cause to
MONDAY. MAY 2,
mourn the loss of one to highly gifted.
When the aged and infirm pass away
from the busy scenes of life, however
much we may mourn their departure, yet
our grief is softened by the reflection
that they were permitted to remain so
long with u, like a goodly tree whose
limbs were laden with the heavy dews of
miny seasons, but when the young, the
virtuous and the accomplished are cut
down, dried up and withered in the early
spring time of life, we cannot repress
the enquiry, why should thh'be so, why
-this- apparently - unfinished ' life T The
answer is found, and is found only, in the
words of inspiration, that God's ways
are not as man's ways, and that however
inscrutable his dispensations may seem,
however shattered our earthly idols may
become, our simple duty is not to qnes
tion His acts, but to bow in humble sub
mission to His holy will, knowing that He
doeth all things well. In this spirit we
commend to that Merciful Being, who is
the God of the widow and the fatherless,
those now suffering under this heavy
bereavement, assuring them of the deep
est sympathy of friends and kindred, and
ur people generally, in this dark hour of
their sorrow and distress.
