Santa Anna. I am surprised, indeed, because
Mr.. NapheRyi has no claim 70 that title. l am
the only one who Is entitled to be called private
secretary OF General santa Anna, having had
that honor from the nth OF April 1864, TIL 1851,
when Mr.. Naphegyi caused my separation from
General Santa Anna, and had me put In Rich
mond county jail, In order that he might sue the
property Of the said General santa Anna. Nap
hegyi was simply an agent OF santa Anna's--a
connection that cost him many tears aud much
suffering.
have several letters from General Santa Anna
| IN which he says that Naphegyi had deceived

time am willing to give them publicity In or,ier
| to prove who Mr.. Naphegyi is.

letter, and thus let the people know that Nap
hegyi has no right to call himself private sccre-

Manner OF Observance In the Episcopal
Church.
The present week Is designated In the calen-
dar OF the Episcopal Church as Emoer week, and
Wednesday, Friday and Saturday OF this week
are days OF abstinence. These Ember days re-
cur At each Of the four seasons, spring, summer,
autumn and winter, being the Wednesday, Fri
day and Saturday after the flrst Sunday In Lent,
after the feast Of Penticost, after September II,
and after December 10. The Sunday following
these Ember days OF special intercession are the
stated periods for holding ordinations by the
bishops OF the Church, and the prayer.book pro-
yides special prayers to be used daily In all the
churches during Ember week Tor those who
are 10 be admitted 10 holy ORDERS" On next Sun
day, which will be the festival OF st. Matthew,
the Apostle and Evangelist, It Is usual for the
bishops to hold ordinations for the admission to
the oiice Of deacon or priest OF any candidate
who may be In readiness, and who may have
passed proper examination. The selection OF
Sc. Matthew'S day as one OF the stated periods for
the ordination Of ministers would seem to be Pc
culiarly appropriate, In view OF the example,
which, according TO the sacred record, 81.
Matthew gives to all who would be ministers OF
Chrlst in forsaking ali for his Master. The Cos
mel Tor the day records that as Jesus passed "he
saw q man named Matthew sitting at the re.
