The Coneert and TabIenux for the Epis-
copaI Claurch-A Pleasant Affair, and
Profitable.

EDITORS APPEAL-The concert given
at Collierville last evening for the pur-
pose of purchasing a lot upon which to
erect an Episcopal church, was a deci-
ded success. A large number of ladies
and gentlemen from the city accompa-
MED to Collierville the MendeIsshOn
Quartette Club. The music and singing,
charades and tableaIIX, made a lasting
impression. They were of the very
highest character. The most exciting
feature of the evening was the voting OF
a very beautiful cake, which was dona-
ted to the most beautiful lady attending
the concert, Miss Mollie Nevill, of Col
.lierville, and Miss Mollie Mason, OF
Whites Station, were the two candi-
dates. Miss Mason was the fortunate
recipient. We admire the zeal and en-
ergy of the supporters or admirers OF
each. We must say that Mr., and Mrs.
Mangum, of COllieTyiile, deserve great
credit for the ardOr and perseverance
they evinced in making this delightful
affair a perfect success. The gentlemen
of the Mendelsshon acquitted them-
selves finely, which they do upon al oe-
casions. Professor Mayer was the mu-
steal director of the evening, and all
We're highly gratified with his mastery
efforts. He is a thorough musician, and
one who will succeed. The dancing after
the close of the concert was a delightful
afFaifRa great many participated. l
feel confident that allWho attended were
pleased. The sum realized viii amount
to two hundred and eighty or three hun
dred dollars, and we hope soon an Epis-
copaI church will be erected in the city.

STORY OF A LIFE.
What One Woman in Fiffy-0ne Years
was Called on to Endure

From the Kansas city Journal
Yesterday about noon a respectfully
attired woman named Ruth Donald,
about fifty years of age, made applica-
ton to Mayor Hunt for a pass to st.
Louis. The story Of her life is indeed a
sad one Twenty-four years ago in the
city of New York she met and married
a gentleman who was connected with
one of the Methodia episcopal churches
there as pastor, and Shortly after their
marriage he accepted a position as mis-
sionary to India, whittier she accom-
panied him. After several years of
labor at the missionary station, her
husband died, she in the meantime
having become the mother of four
children. all boys. Being left almost
desolate in a strange land, and having
some relations living in Chicago, she
and her family moved there, where
her father died. She subsequently
remarked and her new husband came
to reside with herself and mother.
Meantime the children by her first
marriage had almost grown to mans
estate, and had gone to the Far West
to seek their fortunes. By her second
marriage she had three children, who
We're residing with her at the time of
the great fire. In that cOniagrati0n
she barely escaped with her life and
her young family, losing her aged
mother and husband in the flames.
Helpless and alone once more in the
world, she started to discover the wherea-
bouts of her four boys, who were at
Lone Pine, California, employed as
public teachers. With them she found
= k.~-.-~ L~A.. f~oo4l.ar ruffh. tho
younger members of her family. She
was at Lone Pine at the time of the
recent terrific earthquake. Here she
lost her four boys, and for the third
time was friendless and alone, She
made her way to Council Bluffs, Iowa,
with her three youngest children, and
there she left them IN care Of parties,
who, seeing her iesolate state, Kindly
cared for them. She has some friends
at st. Louis, and Is making her way
hifhar.

A Pennsylvania young man had a
Young lady friend who was the foTtl-
nate possessor of half a-dozen goldfish.
He went angling One day, ard caught a
pound trout. He preserved 1t alive,
thinking it would be a nice companion
for a goldfish, and concluded to surprise
the young lady by putting il in h ae-
quarium while she was away. The sur
prise was complete for the trout swal-
lowed all the goldfish, and then calmly
turned over on its d0rsal fin and died
of indignation.

The Heidelberg students so arrange
their duels that there are contests on
three days Of the week, whether a prov
-oeation is given or not. The way Of it
is this: The director of the duels takes
the names of the members of the corps
in regular order and pairs them oil, and
they are compelled to fight, although
they may be the very best friends in the
world, or perhaps even relations So a
fellow is compelled TO fight, although he
may be very ~peaeeable. The swords
that they fight with are made Of q long
and very thin piece of steel, which
bends very easily, and is sharp as a
razor, so that the least touch leaves a
mark. The students aTeeutnp horribly,
and some are really disgusting to LOOK
at, their faces are so frightfully SCARED.

MY DEAR SIR Greeley has
50 far not lost strength IN ouF State, and

SCIENCE AND RELIGION.

Science is never tired of trying to
give men a religion. COmte's fault was
that he made a religion of humanity
that in its details was wholly unseien-
tiie, although there are social philoso-
pliers who still cling to a development
something like Comte's. But an Amer
lean has at last had the courage to say
that not only is heaven to be an earthly
blessing, but that, accepting an utterly
liberal Interpretation of the Bible, and
avoiding the tropes Of orthodoxy, the
HOLY Spirit was and is to be a natural
agent, only higher in its actions than
electricity and heat. AS there is no in
d~estructible thing, he says, but the dia-
mond, composed of but one element,
carbon, and as death and destruction are
in the oxygen of the air, this one simple
element, the natural holy breath, is to
regenerate u into undying ones. Adam
violated the conditions of the first
heaven, according to this theory, and
lost eternal life, and one of thr eondi-
tons of heaven is want of sex. There
is an explanation Of the meaning of fig
leaves, for, as Mr.. Carlyle would say,
sex and clothes were eognate fashions.
This theory might be aPpliedto Darwin
ism, and the tail of the original devil
might have been an apish and necessary
appendage, for the purpose Of allowing
his hanging to apple-trees and tempting
"the woman who probably took the
tail for a snake. But, it appears, tails
went out of fashion when aprons came
in, though Lord Monboddo would have
it that the tails were lost on cane
bottom chairs.

Among the most remarkable discov-
cries in photography, is that claimed by
one Johnson, an Englishman, who is
claimed to be a man OF extraordinary
mechanical genius. The invention is a
panoramic camera, which, by ingenious
mechanism, sweeps the whole landscape
and takes il on a plane surface, embTae-
ing on n negative one-third of circle.
The exaetitude of its operation is as SIM
gular as the beauty Of its results. The
pant0scope begins at n end of the
view desired, and goes around the hori-
zon as one sweeps the telescope, the
plate moving with a corresponding mo-
ton through the are, which might be a
circle if desirable. The scenery Of this
country, with its wide-extehded views
of lake, and prairie, and mountain,
would be admirably represented by this
Instrument.

CAprAIN BROWNS Story.
The captain OF the wrecked schooner gave q
graphic picture OF his sunerings 10 the HERALD re-
porter. He said when morning dawned, and several
vessels passed him and would not come to his
rescue, he almost dcspared Of life. He had suf-
fered intensely rom cold, and for two hours
frozen corpse When, finally the boat belonging
to the fishing smack had come alongside he only
had strength enough 20 reach 1t, and the love OF
life which had upheld his courage thus far COM
petely gave way and he became insensible. The
sailor Bound had been drowned at the very
moment OF the wreck. He could not account
for the cause OF the wreck, but believed
the sudden violence OF the sea had caused the
centre-board chain to part starting one OF the
panks In the hottom. From the time Of the acct
dent to the disappearance OF the hull beneath the
water was not five minutes. The schooner Charles
ii. Moer was owned partly by himself and partly
by Moses b. Cover, or Boston.
