II msy be said he tug his own grave; but We must
add. he constructed ut the Same rime his own i'm
peI;shabe monument.
| TIE week after his death, at the stated annual
meeting of the diocesan convention, Dr. HprAtio
Potter Was chosen t, supply his pla Q; aod he is,
as We have said the sixth In order Of the bishops

| The fact that he is Of Quaker parentage, and
that he was educated among gentlemen and ladies
IN drab, has led us TO look little into the domestic
origin and the ethnoogy Of tho New York preIatss.
We find that Bishop Provoost's parents, and the
progesito's Of Bishop Oaderdonk, were OF tae
Church OF Hand, and we're Holl,nders; the fore.
fathers of Bishops Hobart and Wainwright were
Puritans of the Purtans-P Ply mouth Rock men. In
the history Of families, su0h Protean changes afford
strkirg comment, not only ON the mutsbili Of
human affairs, but on what may be termed the anti
podsl transitions Of personal destiny. When fruits
that cluster the branct es Of venerable family

1t is worthy OF rema, k, as certainly q singular
coincidence that two brothers Alonzo and Horstio

New York, made vacant by the suspension Of two

brother Of the Potters succeeds the elder brother of
the On6erdonks, and in the other, the younger bro

And while on the subject of eoincidences, it may
be noted that ali the deceased bishops Of the dio-
ceis have, with ole exception, died in the same
month the month Of September; Bishop Provost,
on the 6tn; Bishop Hobart, on the 12th; Bishop
Vain wright, the 2lst. All, with the single ex-
cepton Of Dr. Potter, have been rectoa ministers
Of Trinity parish, in this city; and all Of them who
have been consecrated in this country With the ex-
cepten Of Bishop Moore, have been consecrated in
this city, and in Trinity parish.
When the churchbelis in ner tall dre shall TO-.
dsy ring out their cheerful musical venite, and tho
noble churchorgan, under the hands Of the master
spirit thai weayes its harmonies, shall make the
long drawn aisles resound With "sacred notes Of
praise" the great congregation viii be enjoying
the spiritual feast. and will not forget to mingle
with the associations of the ceremonial kind
Of old Try-her past, her present, and her future.
