French sentinel.

During one of Napoleon's remarkable
campaigns, detachment or corps COM
mapded by Davoust, occupied the Isle
of Rugen, which they were ordered to
evacuate. They embarked with such
precipitation that they forgot one of
their sentinels posted in retired spot,
and who was SO deeply absorbed in the
perusal of newspaper containing an
account of one of the Emperor's splen-
did victories, as to be totally uncon-
scious of this departure. After passing
to and fro for many hours upon his
post, he lost patience, and returned to
the guard-room, which he found empty.
On inquiry, he learned with despair
what had happened, and cried:
'.Alasl alasl shall be looked upon
as a observation-disclosures unhappy
wretch that amp
His lamentations excited the compass
sion of worthy tradesman, who took
him TO his house, did all in his power
to console him, taught him how to make
bread, for he was baker, aud after
some months gave him his only daugh-
ter, Justine, in marriage. .5r
Five years afterwards strange sail
was seen 10 tppIOdCu Tic lSiduu. 1n6
inhabitants flocked to the beach, and
soon discovered in the advancing ship
number of soldiers wearing the uni
form of the French army. 49,
'I'm done for nowr' cried the dis
mayed husband of Justine. ssMy
bread is baked. -4
An idea, however, suddenly occurred
to him, and revived his courage. He
ran into the house, slipped into his uni
form, and Selling his faithful fire-lock,
returned to the beach, and posted him
self on sentry at the moment the French
were landing.
"Who goes there?" he shouted in a
voice like thunder
"Who goes there, yourself ?" replied
one in boat. "Who are your"
ga sentinel" oH
''How long have you been on guard?''
Give years"
Davoust, for it was he, laughed at the
quaint reply, and gave discharge in
due form to his involuntary deserter.

CONCENTRATION OF TRoops AT WASHING
SIGNIFICANT THE New York Her.
AIDS Washington correspondent says: 1T
is reported that there are now in the forts
around this city and between them and Bal
timore some fifteen or twenty thousand Uni
ted States troops, and the question is asked
what does this mean Some suppose these
troops were collected in view of probable
insurrection in Maryland with the late cleo
ton: some conjecture that they are intended
for Mexico; while other astrologers of the
Radical stripe suspect that under President
Johnson's apparently cordial resignation to
the results Of the late election, he medltated
tremendous coup d etat; that the South
ern rebel and Northern copperhead organs
still agitating this thing, some openly and
others in mask, know what they are talk
ing about. and that Mr.. Seward, when he
asked the people, on the late Chicago pill
grimage, whether they would have Andrew
johnson "as President or as king" limited
at what was coming President johnson,
they suspect, is preparing to squash threat
ened Impeachment; but, they say, the boys

N. e. Conference S0uth-Thc Question Of
Changing the Name, &c.

NORFOLK, Nov. 81. The Annual Confer
.ence Of the Methodist Episcopal Church South
still continues in session here, and its labors
will, it is thought, consume the greater por-
ton of next week. The important question
of changing the name of the church from
Methodist Episcopal Church South to Epis-
copal Methodist Church, and leaving out the
word South altogether, came up for consid-
Grafton yesterday, and was continued to- day
with animation. Two-thirds of the members
of the General Conference held in New Or
leans last April voted for the change, and
strongly recommended it to the various con-
fercnces for their adoption.
The argument advanced in favor Of the
change was that, not being sectional or po-
Gtical, it was proper to have name that
would not be misunderstood.
DR.. w. A. Smith, who was member Of
the General Conference when the separation
took place, said that he was member of
that large committee, consisting Of thirty two
members, in the Convention of 1874, who
reported upon the name for adoption by the
Church. Unimportant as name may be,
it had received it's due share Of attention in
the Conference, and he had then opposed it,
as it seemed to him to be violating the idiom Of
our language and illegal, and therefore alto
gether wrong. They were never intended
to be sectional church, and the idea enter
tanned by many Of the members Of the con-
ference that the word South was intended to
distinguish them politically as Church was
pernicious and false The same idea had
been advanced at the General Conference in
1914, but was entirely exploded. Slavery
was but the occasion and not the cause of the
separation. The occasion has passed away,
but the cause still remains intact and must
so remain until that Church ceases to be as
political organization.
Rev. George W. Langhorne opposed the
change.
DR.. Leroy NJ Lee, Of the CRANKY Street
Church Norfolk, and others, also opposed the
change The matter was finally laid over
till Monday
Over one hundred and twenty members
were present, and the Church was thronged
during the entire proceedings.
The question Of sending a committee to at
tend the Baltimore Conference, for the pur-
pose of forming new Conference from the
territory occupied by the Virginia and Balti-
more Conferences, respectively, was taken
up and adopted.
Bishop Early appointed the following min
listers of the Conference on that committee
D. &. Edwards, J. G. CRANBERRY, j. W.
Langhorne, W. w. Bennett and w. D. Row.
eel. The Convention then adjourned till
Monday.

We are pleased to chronicle the unani-
nous election of Col Edmond Fontaine as
President Of the Va Central R. r. Compa-
ny by the Stockholders at their late meeting
in Richmond. Until last year, Col. Fon-
tame has been identified with the manage
ment of this road, as Director or President,
since the early days of its existence Then
he was defeated for the Presidency by the
State vote being cast against him. After a
years interval he is again unanimously called
upon to assume his old position as President,
a worthy tribute to his energy, faithfulness
and administrative capacity and a complete
endorsation Of his official conduct, as Presi-
dent of the company in former years.
His many friends rejoice to see him rein
stated in his old position, as presiding genius
of our great Central road.

We rejoice to notice that the recent fall in
gold has sensibly affected prices. Dry goods
have fallen, and are likely to be much lower
than at present. Provisions have also felt
the effect Of the fall Of gold, but are not yet
as low as they should be by at least thirty
per cent. It is pleasant to reflect that all
the hoardcrs, forestallers and sordid specula-
tors in pork and -four are likely to be brought
to grief and bankruptcy by the fall Of gold.
Flour and meat are not likely to attain the
enormous prices that many feared they would
reach .-Rechmond Times
