Resignation To Affection.

A short time since, in this city,
a brilliant and much admired lady,
who had been suffering for some
time with trouble Of the eyes, was
led to fear a speedy change for the
worse, and Immediately consulted
her physician. An examination
discovered a sudden and fatal fail
ling in the optic nerve, and the
information was impaired, as gen
tly as possible, that the patient
could not retain her sight more
than few days at most, and was
liable to be totally deprived of it
at any moment. The afflicted
mother returned to her home quiet
ly made such arrangements as
would occur to one about to COM
mence SO dark journey of life, and
then had her two little children,
attired i'll their brightest and
sweetest costumes, brought before
her; and so, with their little faces
lifted to hers, and tears gathering
for some great misfortune that they
hardly realized, the light faded out
of the mothers eyes, leaving an
ineftaceable picture ofthose dearest
TO her on earth-a memory Ofbright
faces that will console her in many

How to Prevent Sunstroke.

As we arc soon to experience a
heated term, the following specific
against sunstroke may save from
illness and death many whose occupa.
ton obliges them to be in the field
or out opOn the streets:
About year since | saw in a
newspaper an account Of case of
sunstroke, written by the party him
self. After suffering a long time
from tie attack, and having to a
considerable degree recovered, he ex-
perienced suffering even from the
rays of the moon. This led him to
the reflection that 1t was not alto
gether the heat of the sun that pro-
duced prostration. After much
research he discovered that the in>
jury came from the chemical ray. and
not from the heat ray. He was guided
to this By observing the fact that a
photograph could not be taken
through a hollow glass. Accordingly,
ha lined his hat with Two livingstone
of range yellow to arrest the chemi-
cal ray, and one of green to arrest
tie heat ray. Thus prepared, he
wen; where the rays uf the sun were
most intense with perfect impunity.
1t is well known that the negro is
seldom or never sunstruck. Tie color
of his skin over the skull being of the
orange yellow may assist in account
ing for the fact. | practiced upon
this suggestion all last Summer,
lined my hat with green and orange
yellow paper, and had confidence
enOUgh in the truth of the theory to
neglect my umbrella. which l had
never done before, | mentioned it to
many, who tried it also, and, in
many cases that came under my
observation they uniformly asserted
that the oppressive heat of the sun
upon the, head was much relieved. "

SENTENCED TO DEATH-To BE EXECU-
TED THE 11TH OF JULY.
SUFFOLK, VA, June II, 1878.
Court opened this morning at 10
O'Clock, Judge Peter B. Prentice, pre-
siding JnO. II. Wright, attorney for
Commonwealth. The case ofthe MUIR
der of Mrs. Dempsey Jones and Mrs.
Dozier was called, and the prisoner
James BrowI was brought into court.
He pleaded guilty. There was no
counsel for the prisoner. A jury en-
panelled from amongst the best citi-
Zens of the county, and 1T was decided
to try him on the plea of mot guilty >
upon the suggestion of the judge. Sew
eral witnesses were examined, fast
ening the guilt upon the prisoner,
which, together with his confession,
was conclusive.
The wealth's attorney, af-
ter merely stating the law and evil
dence in the case, gave it to the Jury
at five minutes TO one o'clock. They
re ,ired to their room, and at once re-
turned with verdict of murder in the
first degree. The Judge made feeling
and tender speech told him there
was no earthly hope, as he proceeded to
pass sentence. When the prisoner
was asked by the Judge if he had any
thing to say, he replied, Il did the
crime" The Judge then sentenced
him to be hanged on Friday, the 18th
day of July, between the hours of ten
and two o'clock. The most perfect
order prevailed during the whole trial
Every fairness possible was shown the
prisoner. The verdict gives general
satisfaction. A guard is detailed
around the Jail to keep the prisoner
safe.

Sketch ola COlOred Bishop ofthe
Methodist Episcopal Church in
America.

Bishop William Henry Miles is six
feet or more in height, we'll proper
toned, and weighs at least 2OO. pounds
OF ginger cake color. short hair, and
very good manners. On Sunday
morning he preached to a LARGE
audience of colored people in the
court house, and On Sunday night he
preached to tie white people in the
Methodist church. The church was
full, and all gave him their quiet att
teution. He preched from the 18th
chapter and oath verse of St Mat
thew. His delivery WIS good, and
manner plain and practical his ideas
very good, lis voice very well modu
lated, He made no attempt whatever
at bombast OF display. We believe
We speak the sentiment Of every
gentleman and lady who heard him
when we say that his sermon was a
very good one. Everybody was wei!
pleased. and no one regretted his OF
her going to hear him.
Bishop Miles was born in Washing
ton county, Kentucky, In December.
1928, as the save Of Mrs. Mary
Miles. During his boyhood he larned
the alpha bet from an old colored man
on the payment of 6 cents, and
learned to read at Colored Sunday
school taught by an aged Presbytaria,
lady near by his MISTRESS home
" hen his mistress died she ''willsG

went u law about the matter, and
held it in court eleven years. FINALLY
in 1864, the case was compromised
while pending in the Court of Appeals
BY that compromise he be came o
tree man in 1864. He Their went to
Indiana, but in 1865 he returned to
Louisville and set up retail furni-
ture house but soon LEI: and went to
Lebanon, Kentucky. and went into
the garden and fruit business. He
was licensed to preach by DR.. Red
ford, of Nashville. in 1858; was
ordained bishop in 1870 by Bishop,
Payne and McTyre OF the Methodist
Episcopal Church South. His espisco~
pal jurisdiction extends over this
State, tennessee, Missouri, Kansas,
and North Mississippi. When he
was ordained the M E. Church in
America" was organized with himself
and r. Ii. Vandefhorst (cOlOred) as
bishops The white MethodiSts South
aided them in so doing, while the white
MethodistS North have been and are
now hostile to such an organization
Bishop Vanderhorst is now dead, ana

by Bishop Pierce, OF Georgia ordsin-
ed three other coiored linen rs Bishop

of North Carolina; l.. IL. HoSley,

We have seldom seen more mod
es. quiet, humble, or less proud man
than Bishop Miles, especially when
we remember that he has something
to be proud oi-viz.. his being the first
man of his race to exercise the high
office of Bishop, and the first to labor
in the organization of his people into
Separate Church.

The Recent Sudden and Singu.
lar Illness of Col. john b.

of Partial Paralysis.
STANTON, June 9.

STAUNToN, June 9.
The people of Virginia will ap-
preciate the profound sensation
created in this city yesterday morn
ing by the rumor that Col. John
B. Baldwin's l:ft side had been
paralyzed, and they will rejoice with
our people in learning that the
attack was not quite so bad as that.
Saturday Col. Baldwin attended
the meeting Of the Western Lunatic
Asylum Board, and DIR. Stribling
remarked that he had never seen
him look in better health or spirits
He ate moderately, and did not
partake of "liquid refreshments
(as he never INDUCES in them,
and slept well Saturday night; but
while dressing yesterday morning
he was taken with violent pain in
the palm of his lett hand, which
soon became so severe that he could
not pull on his stockings. Relief
medicines were applied to the hand
which had become cold and soon
turned black. Physicians were
then summoned. 1t proved to be
a stoppage of the circulation just as
if ligature had been drawn tightly
around the wrist. Yesterday it
was feared his hand would have to
be amputated, but towards night
he felt the pain only in one flyer
and this morning the circulation is
restored in the whole hand, and he
only suffers from sickness. There
is great rejoicing over his recovery
here as there will be all over the
State, for Virginia has no ADLER or
more devoted son. | never saw
this community so stirred or more
interest expressed, and each indi-

Lincoln and the South.

A gentleman of this city related to
us the other day characteristic mel
dent concerning President Lincoln,
and which is worthy of preservation.
The subject of the war was being
discussed, and Mr.. r. Tor the party
addressed by Mr.. Lincoln) was asked
MS opinion by the President as to the
contemplated policy OF coercion or
war. Mr.. r. being States rights
man, suggested that to pervent the
effusion of fratricidal blood and strife,
1.-The waywaId sisters should be allow
ed TO depart in peace" or at least
blOOdshed should be avoided.
Mr.. Lincolnreplied that whatever
his sympathies and feelings might be
for the people of the South, he, as
President, was sworn TO protect and
defend the constitution and laws of the
United States. de said he was in the
condition of the boy who went out IN
co mpany with party of coon hunters
when small young coon was caught,
tied with string, and the young lad
requested to hold the coon until the
return of the party from the pursuit of
more game. The coon tugged at this
string to get loose looked wistfully at
the neighbOring woods and then at his
guard, whose sympathies for the little
prisoner were thoroughly aroused.
After witnessing the vain struggles of
the coon for some time, with feelings
of sorrow fully aroused, ne soliloquized
aloud as follows: "Cooney, | am
sorry for you; was told to hold you
| promised to do so. and can't let YOU
GO; but do irish this string a0outOi
break"
This anecdote doubtless truly repre-
sented Mr.. Lincoln's real feelings to-
wards the South, and his hope was the
"string would break" rather than the
effusion of blood should follow the at
tempt of the coercion of the South
But the string did not break, as we all
know, and the consequences hat fol-
lowed have become paIt of the i'm
perishable history Of the country
