ion at Richmond, called o, the Prcs.
idcnt at Washington, aud that the
President exhibited TO them a spear
taken from Browns arms for the in.
vasion OF Virginia. which Distric,
Attorney Ould had brought him
rom lIarper's Ferry. Doubtless the
President drew deep moral from
this terrible weapon, and impressed
on the minds OF tho worthy Bishops
the necessity OF REFRESHING all agi
tation except that absolutely neces-
sary to guard and extend the divine
institution. The President has Ger.
taiDly founded II museum of implc
men,s and relics OF war that, il per
fected, will vic with those OF the
Tower OF London OR tho Invalidos
Of Paris. We hope that measures
will be takon at once to forward all
the most notable OF these weapons
and curious relics to the White
House; then when next tho House
of Bishops calls on the President he
will show them through his national
museum in this wise:

and Gardner shot Barber in Kansas.
Barber was riding quietly along the
road, a capital oiiense ut that time,
and was shot in tho back. Clark
