A melancholy death occurred in st.
Paul about week ago, the sequel Of q
sad story. There was Ia priest named
Schmiver, who groatly sympathized with
friend, also priest, who had been de-
posed. de kept up a friendly CORES
pondence with the disgraced man, and
for this he was in turn tieposed by the
bishop. He Immediately fell'into very
critical condition Of nervous excitement,
which REQUIRED upon every allusion to
his disgrace; and this finally resulted in
paralysis and death, just as arrangements
for his reinstatement had been ncceded
to by his bishop.

According to Mr.. J. P. Cook, there
were in 1920 but four Protestant places
of worship in Paris and it's vicinity, and
Eve or six ministers, including the Eng

Paris or it's immediate suburbs, forty.
seven Of which are within the city pro-

these places of worship are very small,
while in most Of them tho attendance is
limited to ono hundred or less.

The MODERN LRANDER.-Abont ten
days since; q white man, giving his name
as Joseph Taylor, was brought in from
Horn Lake /. by some citizens; who
oharged him with being horse thief.
BE was turned over to Chief Athy, who
locked him up. The following day, a

was Tucker, and be lived near Pratt's
Mills, in De Soto County, Mississippi.
The lawyer accounted for his presence

by stating that Tucker was engaged in
an amour near that place. and changed
bis name to avoid detection. As there
was nothing against the man but suspi-
cions, Chief Athy, upon the lawyers
statement, released him, at the same
time writing to Sheriff Daily, of De Soto
County, making inquiry concerning
Tucker. Three or four days later, he
received On answer from that officer,
stating that no such T. man rs Tucker
had ever been seen in the vicinity of
Pratt Mills. where he claimed to re-.

Adperliser says: =.
Bridegrooms, poor fellows, have a
hard time at the best, and they are al.
why's to be pitied even in the height OF
their bliss. But Savannah has one who
is peculiarly unfortunate. He was re-
gently joined in matrimony, and prof.
fered the rabbi $40 as his fee for officiat-
ing. The latter had the law on his side,
it seems, and insisted upon tho payment
OF double that amount. The bride
groom refused, wo understand, and
hence law suit, which was decided by
ono of our Justices, yesterday, in favor
OF the complainant.
It won't do to be niggardly about
these matters, Messieurs Bridegrooms,
and it is always best to be liberal with
the one who joins you together in the
bonds OF wellock.

Charlotte Cushman is woman of
sense and pluck. Grant went to see her
in ''Meg Merrilies'' at Wallis Opera
House Saturday. After the first act
Mrs. Grant and two friends made their
appearance, but no President, though O
wait of several minutes had been made.
The play proceeded, and between the
second and third acts the President made
his appearance, when the orchestra,
breaking off in the music they were play
Ing, struck up 'Hail to the Chief" Re.
garding this as an unwarranted inter.
ruption Of the piece, Miss Cushman be-
came indignant and properly demanded
that tho orchestra stop it's servility and
that the play proceed. Her order was
obeyed, to the very great surprise of tho
Presidents flatterers and himself and
family. So relates Washington cor
