THURSDAY MORNING, skprrNsEs %, 1s5s.
AN ECCENTRIC CLERGYMAN.


The Rev. William Thompsoa was preach
er Of the Presbyterian Church, who served
as chaplain in our revolutionary army. and
had encountered many of the dangers in
cident to military life. lie was in stinctively
brave, and indeed courted trials, difficulties
--always indifferent to consequences. lie
possessed immense bodily strength "a tall,
powerful, commanding frame, suited to the
tolls of war. His learning was of little &C
count, and has talents in the pulpit very
inferior. .-
He was pastor at one time of cnpgre-
CATION who worshipped in the Catoctin
mountain, three miles from Leesburg,
Loudoun county, Va. But they all grad
ually declined attending church, except two
men. At this time he attended Presby-
terry, and was called ON to narrate the state
ofhis people as to their spiritual condition.
Thompson rose and said:
"Mr. Moderator: They have left me en-
tirely, except two faithful followers one
Of whom is 80 deaf that he cannot hear a
solitary word, and the other is 30 lame that
he cannot walk step, or otherwise | should
have nobody to hear me-"
Once he was preaching at night in Fred
ericktown, Maryland. Two distinguished
lawyers sitting near him frequently inter-
rupted him in rude and uneourtly manner.
Thompson ordered them out of the church.
A formal challenge was sent to him next
morning, by one of the aggrieved parties,
demanding satisfaction according to the rules
Of the duello.
"Sir." said he stsrnly, "tell your princi-
pal that if he persists in his enterprise, he
will find me an able bodied divine, if not an
able-headed one."
That ended the controversy ]. Oh.

ROYAL MATRIMONIAL TROUBLES

ItOI AL W alNlMOANlaL 1RoCDbSS'
A London correspondent of the N. !.
Times writes.
IAN offer of marriage has been recently
made by the Duke Of Rutland to the Princess
Mary, sister of the Duke Of Cambridge
The Princess, who no longer boasts Of the
charm Of premiere jeunesse, and whose AHA
bility and good humor are deemed her chief
attractions, does not conceal her wish to &C
cept her only sutton. The Duke is neither a
very wise or very handsome man; but he is
very rich, very we'll bred, and very anna
Bile. In short, he would probably make her
an excellent husband, and she would make
him an excellent wife. Nevertheless, it seems
it must not be. The consent of the parties
themselves, is, under the circumstances. no,
enough. By the provisions of the Royal
Marriage Act, passed some ninety years ago
to crafty the tyrannic will of George Ill. ;,
10 member of the reigning family can legal.
ly contract matrimony without the assent Of
the sovereign. personally declared. Her ma.
iesty's ideas Of the aseendency which her
notions ofState policy ought to have in all
matters Of the kind, are somewhat like those
Of her grandfather, who resolutely refuses "
allow any mingling of royal blood with that
Of the Hottest Of her nobles."

ITEM FOR LOVERS OF CHAMPAGNE

ITEM FOR LOVERS OF CHAMPAGNE.
An American traveller in the streets Of Pa
ris, seeing the words, "Wine baths given
here" exclaimed:
well! these French are q luxuriouspeo-
ple" Then. with true Yankee curiosity, and
the feeling that he could afford whatever any
one else did, walked in and demanded a "wine
bath" ..'..". IS.
Feeling wonderfully refreshed after it, and
having to pay but FIVE francs, he asked, in some
astonishmsnt, how wine bath could be afford
ed so cheaply. His sable attendant. who had
been slave in Virginia, and enjoyed a sly
bit of humor, replied: Oh, massa, we just pass
it along into anudder room, where We glib
baths at four francs"
Then you throw it away, | suppose. -
"No, massa; den we send it lower down, and
charge three francs bath. Oars plenty Of
people who amt so berry particular. who will
battle in it after this, at two francs head
Den, msssa. we let de common people hab
it at franc a piece"
Then, of course, you throw it away" OK
claimed the traveller, who thought this was
going even beyond Yankee profit.
"No, indeed, massa," was the indignant re-
ply, accompanied by profound bow; mo, in
deed, nassa, We are not 10 'stravagant as dat
comes to; we bottles it up den, and sends it to
'Merica for Champagne"
