BISHOP sOULE.

A writer in the Southern Christian
advocate tells the following amusing
story of the good bishop.
We felt deeply interested, a few
months ago, IN stage coach conversation
with Bishop Soule, in which that vencra.
ble and veteran leader gave us the story
OF his saddle horse Hero" Whether
Hero will ever get into print hereafter. we
the h"fa ptctteeill: He is worthy of place in
day or other look at adnifiitg. will some
ture of life Of adventure, toll, and self
sacrifice gone through by the second race
of American bishops. On this horse,
Bishop Soule made five tours Of the con-
tinent, travelling in the saddle twenty-six
thousand miles That saddle was no
4" chair of ease" Among the many incl
dents and accidents by - flood and field"
to which Hero was party, one occurred of
somewhat laughable turn. Hero was a
thoroughbred, and trained in Virginia
for the turf. Bishop S0ule was on his
way TO Augusta, Georgia, to attend the
session Of the South Carolina Conference.
He reached the suburbs of the city at a
time when the races were in full blast.
Passing the course just as the excitement
of the race was at its height, Hero, for
getful at the moment of the change in his
fortunes, forgetful that lac carried a grave
and reverend bishop, "CGsafem CT CGso,is
fortunes" suddenly sprang across the
ditch, and was in the act of leaping the
fence, and taking part in the ignoble
strife of the. turf, when his master, by
the most strenuous exercise Of the powers
of hand and voice, succeeded in prevent
ing him. If Methodist bishop, nolens
rOiens, had ridden race that day, and
won the field, it would have been new
thing under the sun. Hero is dead, but
Bishop Soule is now packing up for
second visit to California"

something Of commo,ion in the rei-
gious world. The idea OF the race OF
man Is totally discarded by the authors.
and all. Dr. Usher make, the as
founding statement in this work that
human fossil has been found in New
Orleans, in the course oi some excava-
tions in that city, to which prr-Ada-
mite age is attributed. According o
his authority, the skeleton OF a man, of
the conformation of our native Indians,
was discovered at a depth OF sixteen
feet, lying below a succession oil four
fossil cypress rests, TO each OF which
the age Of l4,400 years Is gwen. Agas
siz is said to have accept I'd this as "a
fact, and based upon it his assertion
thar nan existed upon earth at least
100 600 years ago. The theOlogian
must either disprove this statement or
be compelled to admit new exegesis
Of Holy Writ.
So says the Evening Post. But the
New York Tribune thus causes the
collapse Of the Posts assumption -
The Evening Post is responsible Tor
the above. We do no, see how the
iacl that DR.. Usher makes al 'asiound-
Ing statement about human fossil n
which pr.-Adamite aye is attrlbu,ed,'
or even thot said skeleton was -four
fossil lorcsts, TO each oil which the age
oi l4,4O0 years is gwen is an ade-
quate basis for all that ia here piled
upon it. Considering the volume OF the
mighty Mississippi, the liberties it takes
with its banks, the rapid growth and
luxuriance of vegetation IN that semi
tropical region, and the concxTrence OF
natural convul.ons in producing physi.
cal changes, we think he must be a bold
rath than safe generaIizer who
could dejuce with any confidence from
such data as are here given the conclL-
sion that Man has existed on this earth
Ia, 400 years, much leis $50 900. We
do not propose to dogmatse in turn; but
we cannot believe that the theoogian'
is compelled to admit new exegess' on
any such grounds as these.
