BISHOPS AND BEARDs-ReEigion as. Hdir.-
The Bishop of Rochester has issued aapasto-
raj letter to his clergy on the important sub
ject of their boards. Several of the servants
of the church whose government is entrusted
to his episcopal hands, have taken it upon
themselves to let their boards and whiskeTs
grow, and the prelate is vastly concerned. A
New York paper says This astonishing dire
lection from the teachings of Christianity can
not be suffered to pass unrebHked; if possi-
Bile every particular hair shall be nipped in
the bud. ,s.~ft
The cure of souls, the conversion of sim
ners, and similar functions of his office, sink
into insigni6cance by comparison with the
duty of repressing this astounding heinous-
ness. Indeed, he doubtless reasons that it is
impossible for a man to preach the Gospel
effectively who wears whiskers, or for a min
ister to serve in holy things, who should
sport such a hairy appendage to his face, as
the Apostles were wont to exhibit. How,
indeed can one contemplate without horror
the possibility of a clergyman of the Church
of England distributing the elements until
he should have shaved2
Are not the Roman Catholic priests OBJ
hged to fast before celebrating the mass, and
is it not the least that the bishop could re-
quire of his clergy that they should sacrifice
their beards2 Can one imagine any JUNCTION
+ in the sermons of men who stroke their
moustaehes2 Besides, does, it not say in
Holy Writ; "The very hairs of your head
are all numbered;" plainly indicating that
the hairs of the face are not numbered, and
therefore are to be cut Off The venerable
Bishop deserves the thanks of the church
militant for his endeavors to cut short the
growing tendency2

WASHINGTON, January 29.-Ool. Hayne
does-not believe in the truth ofthe dispatch
from Charleston, as to the reported business
which occupied the attention of the Legisla-

He has received no dispatch from Governor

recently represented that boat from Fort

Charleston Forts.
Colonel Hayne has made no demand on the
Federal Government for the surrender of

A CHILD IN AN ExTRAoRDINAY TRANCE
The Montreal (Can.) Herald of the 2lst says
A singular case of trance is supposed to
exist now in this city. The daughter Of a
gentleman connected with one of the de-
paIt tments of the corporation died (appar-
ently) on Wednesday last from an attack of
influenza. Death took place rather suddenly,
the deceased, ohly five years of age, having
remarked a few minutes before that she did
not think she was dying. The friends of
the family having been apprised of the
mournful fact, assembled on Saturday morn
ing to accompany the remains to the place
of interment.
To their great surprise, however, they
found that the corpse gave no indications of
death whatever, except the suspension Of
breathing. The family physicians having
been summoned, advised that the body be
left undisturbed till some symptoms of de-
composition appeared. The family and
friends of the little one remain in state of
distressing suspense, which can not be re-
lieved till the case be decided in one way or
the other.

Extraordinary Story and Great sufIerIBG
Among the Indians-A Man and His wife,
After Eleven Years of Captivity, Escape
and II eturn Home.
The Cleveland Evening Herald relates this
story;
On Saturday morning, the Western train
brought to this city a man and women who
related a story that has few equals, even in
romance. The persons were husband and
wife, their name Kimball, and they formerly
resided in the neighborhood of Syracuse,
MY. t-
In ls4s, in company with a party of sixty
three, the Kimballs started for California by
the overland route. In the party were their
father, an old man, and three sisters. They
passed on westward in the usual manner,
without accident, until the 18th day of July.
They were then on the Plains, far from any
settlement, and as they were pursuing their
way, were suddenly surprised by large
party of Indians. The little party was i'm
mediately put in as good condition for de-
Tense as the time would permit, the females
being placed in the center.
Down came the Indians like whirlwind,
but theym met a resistance as obstinate as
desperation cvuld produce. The white men
fought for their wives, and fought nobly--
so well, indeed. that when the contest was
ended, there were. of the party of sixty
three but thirteen left, including men and
women. The Indians took what plunder
they wanted, tied the prisoners id pairs, and
continued their rambling expedition. The
next day they halted, and prepared to dis
pose of their prisoners. The old man Kim
ball was made to run the gauntlet for his
life. He was too feeble for escape and,
wounded and completely exhausted, was
tied TO q stake and burned.
The younger Kimball was then brought to
the desperate trial. He was strong and
active, and successfully underwent the or
deal. The Indians, pleased with his prowess,
allowed him to make a second trial for the
life of any female he might choose.
The poor man was almost In despair; his
wife and three sisters were sitting on the
ground, and he was called upon 10 choose
the one he would save, with the certainty
that death by torture would be the fate of
the others. He chose his wife, and saved
her The Indians murdered his sisters in his
presence. 1t was a poor privilege he had SO
dearly bought. They were obliged to per-
form menial duties for their captors, aud the
woman was often treated with brutality.
Following the Indians from place to place
without an opportunity to escape, they lived
till 1869, when their party met United
States Surveying Company. Kimball told
his story to the whites, and one of them, an
old resident in the country, offered his aid in
offectiDg their escape. The offer was gladly
accepted, and the attefhpt, after many months
Of intense suffering, was successful.

A Curious Question Respecting n Seced-
ing state-DOes En- glnnd Now Own South
CarOliDae
The Toronto (Canada) Globe raises a new
issue in the discussion of the seeding State
of South Carolina:
= Suppose that this "a dissolution of the
Union) is consummated, some curious ques-
tions will arise with regard to the national
standing of the seeding States. Great Brit
ain has recognized the National Independ-
ence of the United States. But does that ne.
cessarily involve the recognition of the ma
tionality of South Carolina, for example,
when she ceases to form part of the Union2
Her colonial relations to Great Britain only
ceased in virtue of her being. merged in the
United States, whose independent national
ity was recognized by the mother country.
When she ceases, then, to form part of that
nationality, does she not, by the law of ma
tions, revert to her former position of colon
ial independence on Great Britain2
In the year 1929, the British Government,
for the sum of Ell 500, purchased the Caro-
linas from a company OF merchants. When
no longer under the agis of the American
flag, will they not again in the nature of
things become the property of Great Britain?
England may find it worth her while to
produce her old title-deeds to the cotton
producing Territories of the South.
Her manufactures form so important an
element to the we'll -being of her people that
it is not convenient for her to be dependent
on foreigners for her cotton supplies. More
over, in the interests of humanity, it would
be well that the Southern, as well as the
Northern, portion of this continent should
be British. Slavery would not long exist
under British rule, and with free republic
in the center of the continent, bounded
north and south by free British colonies, the
future ofNorth America might be looked to
by the friends Of human progress with the
most cheering antieipations. t.
