A Clerical WOIf.-ROVv Among
the Lambs.

From the Lafayette (Indiana) Journal
Last Wednesday evening was
enacted a scene in tbs meeting
house on Lauramie Creek, about
three miles north of Stockwell,whic
was not at all becoming to moral
and Christian community. The min,
lister Of the aforesaid church is j. w.
Q. COvey, who, q few days ago, pub.
lished in the Journal a great many
testimonials from elders and members
Of the Campbellite church in defense
of his character, and who has for
some time past held protracted meet
ings in the rural districts thereabouts
successfully. This man has been too
free in his remarks Of denunciatiou of
other churches, which was not at all
palatable to the citizens generally,
and caused bad feeling to exist be-
tween the two parties. 1t seems that
a responsible man Of the Methodist
church had got in possession Of GER
tain documents Of the Campbellite
church, deuouucing said Covey as an
imposter, and, under several specif-
cations, had banished him from the
church. The possessor of the docu.
ments was bent on reading them
aloud to the audience after dismissal
from service on Saturday evening, but
failed in the attempt, for just as he
stood up to request the attention of
the audience, the members made a
rush for him, and he beat hasty re-
treat, escaping through the door with
his papers. But this was not all of
it; the citizens of the neighborhOod
seemed bound to have the documents
read to the congregation at the close
of service, and accordingly, last We'd
nesday evening, after a sermon by
said COvey, another possessor of the
documents arose and asked the atten.
ton of the congregation, but when Mr..
Covey recognized the man, he arose in
the pulpit and cried out, Don't let
him read It'll Members attend to
him | Attend to him p Then there
was rush made from the pulpit
toward the door. The " outsiders !"
we're seated near the door, and rushed
to the defense, and before the possessor
of the documents was aware, they
Wero snatched from him and torn to
pieces. Both parties had come to ex-
tremes, and the house OF God was
converted into a temporary battle
field. Several knock downs ensued,
and blood boiled hot, but fortunately
no lives were lost. The document
man and his friends beat hasty re-
treat, leaving the other party victori-
ous-inspired, perhaps, with the pride
that swolled the hearts Of the old
crusaders when battling for the cross.

southern Women.

About the beginning of our late
unhappy war Mr. Greeley spoke and
wrote in most disparaging terms of
the women of the South. According
to him they spent their nights in dis
sipation, and their days in slumber.
They were without intelligence and
destitute of energy. They we're in-
capable of self denial and unworthy
Of respect. On the contrary, the
women of the South have shown
themselves heroic in fortitude, coura.
gous in danger, ready for every
emergency, and capable Of the great-
est selfSdenial. During the war they
gave the curtains from their windows
the carpets from their floors, and the
blankets from their beds, for the
poor soldiers. Every luxury was
surrendered. They learned to spin
and weave and wear the products Of
their own looms. Amid the deepest
gloom aud when reduced almost to
starvation, they endured all with an
unWaEering frmness and an uncom
promising fidelity. We have been
led to these reflections By the heroic
conduct of Mrs. Gallaway--the noble
wife Of the editor Of the Avalanche.
When her husband was thrown into
prison by Hunter, she Immediately
assumed control Of the avalanche.
Without unsexing herself she aps
peared in the editorial rooms and
entered upon the duties as editress.
Her salutatory sent thrill through
the land. The people did not know
whether to feel more sympathy for
the Colonel, or admiration foF,his noble
wife. just as the tyrant saw the
AUalaachs going down, it was hand
somely rescued BY the tact, talent and
nerve Of a Southern woman. God
bless our true women, our wives and
mothers and daughters. They are
the noblest, purest and best. We ad.
mire their beauty ard adore their
virtues. Well might an editor afford
to 60 to prison, when he has wife ol
such peerless qualities, ard such lofty
purposes as are possessed BY Mrs

TIE PROVINCE OF NEWSPAPERS.
1t is unreasonable to expect that the
public press will always publish such
things as we, individually, like. A
person of strictly religious habits and
tastes will be offended if he sees 10 a
newspaper the account Of Prize fight
orof something obscene and sinful.
He forgets that the newspaper is but
the reflection Of the world at large !;
and if he is so fastidious, he should
retire altogether from life, for in a
single street be will find, at any given
hour Of the day, what will offend al.

in like manner, he need not eat at a

He may not like veR:soa and high

But my lady Govida may like 3 few

"FooLsoAP" PAPER.-The term
"foolscap 4" to designate a certain
kind Of paper, no doubt has puzzled
many young Inquirer. The origin
is not only amusing, but historical.
Charles /, of England granted nu-
merous monopolies. for the support of
the government. Among others was
the manufacture of paper. The wa'
ter mark Of the finest sort was the
royal arms Of England. The con-
sumption of this article was great at
this time, and large fortunes we're
made by those who had purchased
the exclusive right to vend it. This
among other monopolies was sec aside
BY the parliament that brought
Charles l, to the scaffold, and by tho
way OF showing their contempt for
the King, they ordered the royal arms
to be taken from thepaper, and fool
with his cap and bells to be substitu.
ted. It is now over two hundred
years since the foolseap bells we're
taken from the paper, but still tFe
paper Of the size which the rump par
lament ordered for their journals,
bears the name Of the Watermarks as
an indignity to Charles |.
