The Last Of the Randolphs--A Nephew
Of John Randolph.

A Southern correspondent OF tho Home
Journal sends it the following interesting
sketch
during the summer OF 1854 I had some
business transactions which called me to the
county Of Charlotte, in lower Virginia. a
mild and lovely Sabbath morning found me
seated in one Of the comfortably cushioned
pews Of the village church at the Court
House. sit wanted few minutes to the
hour Of service, my eye wandered over the
large and respectful looking audience as
sembled, and was finally attracted by very
eccentric individual, who was just entering
"a rather aged man, tall, Of dark complex.
ion. long white hair waving plentifully over
his shoulders, and, an equally venerable
beard flowing on his breast. His step was
active and graceful, his form erect and man.
ly, But his peculiar actions were in striking
contrast to his dignifed appearance. At
Grst | thought him only eccentric, but iew
moments Of further observation proved to
me that no was insane.
Immediately on entering the Pew he
knelt towards tho wall, crossed himself, and
apparently, repeated q prayer. lie then sat
down, drew out white cambric, delicately
perfumed, wiped his brow. removed his
gloves, stroked his hair and beard. took up
bis bible. kissed Il and read, examined his
cane, used bis handkerchief again = and all
the time keeping himself In constant mo-
