in October, 1890, and not long before his death,
that heard John Wesley in the great, round
meeting house at Chichester. He stood IN
q wide pulpit, and on each side stood minis
ter and the two held him up, having their
hands under his armpits. His feeble voice was
hardly audible But his reverend countenauccf
especially bis long, white locks, formed pic

crowd of lovers and admirers. 1t was, Tor the
most part, pantomlme. but the pantomlne

This incident was never forgotten by Robinson.

addition, that 50 greatly was Wesley rever-

his gav to the chapel. In a letter written at
the time to one Of his brothers, he gave the

The social and political principles which
the New York EVENING Posi- has SO long
and faithfully supported, it will continue

principles are, our readers well know
they may be summed up in few words:
National Unity, State Independence, and
Individual Freedom and Equality of
Rights. The perpetuity and supremacy of
the Union, as the guaranty of our national
strength and glory; the Independence of
the States, in all their local affairs, as the
guaranty against an oppressive and dan
gerous Capitalization the Freedom and
Equality of the Individual, without regard
to birth or accident, a. the rightful end of
all government, and the surest means of
social development, personal happiness
and national progress.
These principles the EVENING Posi- will
support and recommend to the people,
without regard to party associations. We
shall never support any party i'll its de-
partures from them, and shall endeayor,
SO far as our influence extends, to cause
them to be recognized by men of all par

accuracy and impartiality which now
