The Western papers are generally so hard pressed
for something new for their readers that they FIRE.
quenty fall back upon q rehash oi some old New
York story One OF them reached the HERALD
Office yesterday laden with an OLD rumor about
Rev. stephen II. Tying, Jr, OF this city, who, it
declared, had announced his intention to
abandon the Episcopal Church, % Ia cheney,
ana set up new Protestant Episcopal
Church IN all It's purity, simplicity, &c. Inc
exchange also animated that Messrs. Tying aud
Cheney expected 20 be made bishops under the
new departure'' OF Episcopacy; but " found
trouble IN deciding how they should nnd Episcopal
ordinate The article was replctc witt mass Of
falsehoods and sheer nonsense, and showed TOO
plainly that the writer knew little about his subject
ana less about the machinery OF Protestant Episco.
pacy. reporter OF the HERALD had an interview
with Mr.. Tying yesterday In relation 10 It. rhe
result was an assurance thai the only important
statement contained IN the article was sheer
fabrication. AZ M. Tying read tho article he
smiled 1rst AZ the msspclling o! his name and then
at the righteousness Of the story and repiled:-
"My dear sir, nave been born and educated In
the episcopal Church and have TO idea nor desire to
leave It, and if they want 10 get I'VE out they must
| Kick me out. Besides have
roo MUCH REAL HARD WORK

| there IS no sort OF understanding between Mr.
| Cheney or any other Episcopal minister and my
| self In these questions The mistake " the press
and the publlc IS that they overlook the real qncs-
ton which divides our Church AM which Il doc
trinal one, and they select Mr.. cheney anf Mr. HID.
bard ana myself AZ scape10a,s. Bui tho trouble Is
100 widespread 20 ne disposed vi III any such
