How scantily this ecclesiastical chieftain
was supplied with the necessaries Of life may
be seen by few extracts from bis journal,
and by letters to his parents, residing ia
England. To the latter at one time be says;

FIVE shirts, and four or FIVE books In 1906,
while attending the Western Conference, be
writes 1.-THE brethren were in want and
could not suit themselves, so / parted with
my watch, my cloak and my shirt" He
was at this time the presiding officer of an
organization embracing five hundred preach
eTs and more than one hundred and thirty
thousand members; himself, almost without
money, selling his watch and part of his
scanty wardrobe to supply the wants of
those still poorer than himself
For forty-6ve years he was the recognized
head of the denomination in this country.
He annually made the tour Of the States,
travelling never less than FIVE thousand,
and often more than six thousand miles 4
year. He usually preached once every day
and three times on Sunday, making more
than twenty thousand discourses in all.
When be died, the societies which, on his
arrival in America he had found consisting
of six or seven hundred members, with six
or seven preachers, numbered two hundred
thousand members, with nearly seven hun
dred preachers.
The severe experiences which we have
described were his only in common with
scores and hundreds of his fellow-la -laborers;
nor were they confined to the early age OF
the nation or of Methodism, but they con-

this very day. Any person who will spend
few hours in some Western Conference
will hear the story of like privation, toll and
suffering. We give an incident which oc-

more than year ago. 1t is customary
sometimes for the societies comprising a

what kind of preacher they desire, usually

ministrative qualities deemed requisite. One
circuit sent in a petition for q minister, but
said nothing about any characteristics as a
! preacher or disciplinarian. One quality,
however, he must have. "Be sure and send
us good swimmer" said the petitioners
| Of course, every one was puzzled, aud none
more so than the Bishop. On inquiry, il
turned out that the circuit was situated in q
region of wide and bridgeless streams, where
the itinerant in keeping his appointments
would have to rely on his own powers OF
aquatic locomotion; in fact, one minister
had been drowned on that circuit, because oi

COVINGTON REWa.

A DEsERTER.-Deputy U. s. Marshal Moses
Lowe arrested soldier named Lawrence
Mcdonald, on the Lexington pike, near
CritteDden, yesterday, who proved to be O
deserter from the Newport Barracks. He
made his escape on Saturday evening last,
and was endeavoring to make his way to
Lexington, where he has friends residing.
He was conveyed TO his old quarters this
morning.
MAYORS CoURT.-John Miller, arrested on
charge OF stealing, was, after a patient
hearing of the case, discharged II. II, Mid
dlendorf, found guilty of selling beer, ale,
ETC., without license, was fined $40 and costs.
The same man was afterward tried on q
charge of selling liquors, on which indct-
ment be was acquitted. A little boy named
August Hartman, who, it is alleged, has been
cruelty and inhumanly treated by his parents,
was brought before the Court by parties with
whom he found refuge. They asked that
the child be taken from his natural pro-
tectors and legally delivered over to them,
that they may bind him out as an appren-
tice. The case was progressing when we
left the Court room.
A SOLDIER TO DE SHOT FOR DEsERr1oN.
We understand that q private letter was re-
ceived in this city yesterday, from Lexing-
ton, which stated that man named o. Hara,
who enlisted some time since in Colonel
Mundy's Regiment, had made an effort to
desert to the enemy. He was captured, tried
by court martial, and condemned to be
shot. OHara was a resident of this city,
and will be remembered as the man who had
a difficulty some time ago with Ex- Marshal
Harry Riff. We are informed that he is a
violent Secessionist and no doubt enlisted
for the purpose OF acting as q spy.

To lie Editor Of The N. Z. Tribune:

10 he EG'tOT O ths ~, L. ITtOune;
SIR: am glad to see you pitch into the
Hon. Schuyler Oolfax's clumsy attempt to
make news agents patronize Uncle Sans
go-cart.
Under the present rule my papers leave
New York early in the morning; passing
through New Haven and New London they
get TO Norwich at 2:30 afternoon. At 345
they leave Norwich, and arrive here at five.
In three minutes after the train stops at the
depot begin delivering them to subscribers.
With the proposed change they would ar
rive at New London at one P. NJ, and rest
there till morning. The next morning the
go-cart would carry them to Norwich, ar
irving there about one hour after the mail.
The next morning they leave Norwich, and
arrive here at 7l5 A. NJ.
Instead of getting Monday mornings Tri.
bt'ne on Monday afternoon, should get it
esrly Wednesday morning.
I'll bet $50 that can produce a man that
will start from New York at the same time
the mail does, walk the entire distance, and
get here six hours before it.
am selling from six to eight hundred
daily papers each week, and weekly papers
and magazines in proportion. If such law
is passed, wouldn't give a Continental

A Boy STABBED BY HIS BRorHEa y ester
day afternoon, at a grocery kept by Mrs.
Schoerr, on Thirteenth street, between Race
and Bremen, Charles Schoerr, aged about
seventeen, stabbed younger brother, named
Henry, in the left breast, inhicting serious
wound. Henry was using some unbecoming
language to his mother, when he was told
by Charles that if he did not stop it he would
cut him with his knife Henry failing to
comply with his brothers request was as
saulted by the latter in violent manner,
one blow from The knife taking effect as
stated above DR.. G. Fries was called upon
to render medical aid in the case, and we
understand that he does not consider the
boys injuries of a dangerous character.
Charles was arraigned before Judge Satin
this morning, on the charge of stabbing with
intent to kill. The principal witness being
unable to attend Court, the case was con-
tinued until Monday next. We learn from
the mother of the young man who did the
| cutting, that the accused is very much al.
dicted to drinking liquor, and while under
its influence is exceedingly vicious; that
when sober, he respects bis brother highly,

CAMP DIsEAsEs-Hotp to Avoid Tbsn.--
Soldiers in camp suffer from three diseases
diarrhss, rheumatism and fever. The COM
monest cause of dalrhea is bad water; its
cure, complete rest and abstinence from every
kird Of food except plain boiled rice All
ordinary cases will yield to this treatment
in twenty -four hours or less. Rheumatism
is usually brought on, not by getting wet,
but by remaining in wet clothes. Hard
drinkers are particularly liable to bad attacks.
To avoid rheumatism, wear flannel and keep
the digestion sound. Fevers are generally
caught after dark in the open air. man
going out on night duty should never go
hungry, and never stand still longer than
necessary. Good food and active exercise
will generally keep a man well unless the
air is uncommonly deleterious. To cure a
case of not very severe fever, nothing seems
50 efficaCious as a change of air " is said
that the removal of a patient ouly few
miles works an immediate improvement in
his condition. In scouting along the edge of
3 swamp at night there is no danger, 50 long
as the party keeps on the wind ward side of
it. These doctrines are laid down in the
writings of army surgeons, and Of ply ysicians
who have given much attention to the sub
ject discussed, and ought, therefore, to be
trustworthy.

A stratagem of the rebels is reported in q
letter from a soldier Of the Thirty. eighth
New York Regiment:
On New-Year's Day, the Thirty-eighth
was on picket duty out near Fontonia. The
outposts saw a man coming toward the line
with a wagon in which he had barrel of
drink; but they fsmeit a mice" and arrested @ d
him, when it was found that the whisky was
drugged, and that the man had with him
twelve pairs of handouts. He intended to
get the men drunk, then slip bandcuffJ upon
them, throw them into the wagon, and take
them of. Several men have disappeared
from the post lately.

BRUTALITY OF LIEUT.. ToDD.-The released

Todd, Of the rebel army, who is, we believe,
brother of President Lincoln's wife. One
account speaking Of the prisoners says, "fif-
teen hundred Of them for want Of room were
huddled together in two buildings, in which
there was scarcely room enough for them to
walk around and, to add to their misfortune,
they were placed under the care of man
in whose heart not one drop of pity seemed
to liuger. A more tyrannical nan than
Lieutenant Todd it would be difficult to find.

that the unfortunate prisoners never received
their first meal for the day till four o'clock
in the afternoon and ON one occasion thirty
hours were suffered to elapse between two
meals; and the rations allowed to the prison.
