THE Holston Methodist (Morristown), of
Saturday has column communication in
opposition to the Central Methodist Uni
versity for the South, signed "Fletcher."
The burden of this TRADE is that the move
ment is one in opposition to the M. E.
Church South. The writer makes furious
onslaught on Bishop Haven, who has no
more to do with the University than any
other member or minister of the M. E..
Church. The spirit of the communication
is contemplate. No Christian would write
in such spirit. We would just as soon ex-
pect to find Christianity or any correct
idea of civilization in HOtentOt as in
the author of such stuff. The idea that
the establishment of leading educational
institution anywhere is in opposition to
the M. E. Church, South, is preposterous,
and to say so is SANDER on that large and
respectable body of Christians.
For our part we rejoice at seeing colleges
and universities built up in the South, no
matter by whom. We rejoice that
through the munifcent donation of Mr..
Vanderbilt and the liberality of their own
people, the Southern Methodists are to
have a magnificent University in the
South. Would that we could have it at
Knoxville. -f5... .1e-
We hate exclusiveness especially in the
matter of education and educational insti-
buttons. We have no sort of respect for
the man whose mind is SO narrow that he
opposes everything which does not con-
fine itself within bounds to be compre-
hended by his little soul.

The Cincinnati Commercial tries to be
severe on President Grant because he
endorses ex-Secretary Boutwell, and says,
"as he reads public judgment and opin-
ionu the official conduct of Mr.. Boutwell,
has been endorsed. The Commercial can't
understand how the President acquires
his knowledge of public opinion and says
certainly not from the New York, Boston
or Cincinnati papers. Is this the only reli-
able source from whence an accurate
knowledge of public opinion is to be OBJ
tanned T? If 80 the President has certainly
committed grave error in not accepting
what they say about Secretary Boutwell,.
Nothing has done more to popularize
General Grants administration than his
financial policy. This has been endorsed
overwhelmingly at the ballot box, and
from that expression of public opinion, the
President makes up his estimate of the re-
firing Secretary. 'o'''- "'-

TEMPERANCE MOVEMENT IN TEXAS.
The following is the form OF petl
ton now being circulated through
Texas for signers which will be pre-
sented to the next Legislature:
STATE OF TEXAS, County Of
To the Honorable Members of the
Senate and House of Representatives
of the 18th Legislature, Of the State
of Texas.
We, your petitioners, citizens of
the country aud State aforesaid,
would respectfully represent that it Is
manifest to all persons whose atten-
ton is directed to the subject, that
the use OF intoxicating liquors to ex-
cess in this State, is alarmingly on
the increase. Very many good citi
zens, by such excess, are coming to
ruing in mind, health and estate
bring poverty aud untold misery upon
their families. 1t is often the parent
of murder and other crimes and very
many accidents, causing destruction OF
life and property are traceable to this
cause. Very many of our best citi'
zens all over our State now direct
ing their attention to the remedying
of this great evil. Much can be done
and is doing in the way OF social and
moral influence; but we respectfully
submit that judicioas and proper leg
islative action is also required. we
respectfully submit that when in
juries to person can be traced to the
liquor vendor, he should be in law anC
equity held responsible to the injured
party in damages. We therefore
earnestly and respectfully ask your
honorable body to take this matter un
der con sideration, and enact some
law, providing tor the recovery of dam
ages by the injured party, against thu
vendor of Intoxicating liquors as som.
law similar to that recently enacted
by the Legislature of the State Of Ohlt
on this subject, and commonly know
as the Ohio Liquor Law Shrerepor

ENCOURAGING TO Poor GIRLs.-A

ENCOURAGING TO Poor GIRLs.-A
few years ago the Archduke Henry fell

Hoffman, a girl of modest beauty,
sweet temper, and gentle, winning
manners, but possessing no other gift
of rank or beauty, simple citizens
daughter, that no prayers and no re-
presentations could wean him from his
attachment. He married her, however,
like man, openly before all the world,
fulfilling publicly all the requirement
made by State Church, and willingly
abandoned all the prestige of high
position. His name was struck from
the army list, where heranked as Field
Marshal, his high orders where taken
from him, and the wrath of the Arch.
duchess Sophia-then the ruling spirit
of the imperial family-went so far as
to cause serious reduction of his al
lowance. With rare fortitude and no
BILE constancy he bore it all, and enjoy
ed true happiness by the side OF hi
loving wife and in the midst ofhi'
numerous children. At last warn
friends, fired with admiration for hi
courage, and convinced of the genuine
merit Of his wife's character, renewed
their intercessiOns, and finally saw
their efforts crowned with success
During the last week his dignities hav
all been restored to him, and the En-
peror himself is said to have been de
lighted with his new kinswoman, tn
Archduchess Heinrich, nee Hoffman.

Burning of Barnum's Museum
Further Particulars.

NEW YORK, December 24.-The fire
at Barnum's Circus commenced about
4 A. Nj. In half an hour the entire
building, though constructed of iron,
MAS in ruins. The flames quickly
spread to the building on either side.
Grace Chapel, on the easterly side,
was burned TO the ground, and the
Lawrence mansion, on the ives erly
side, was seriously damaged. The
fire ran through the block to Thir-
teenth street, destroying the carriage
factory of Miner & Stephens and that
of F. GrOte. The loss will amount to
$4,000 Another account says the
loss will reach 100000. The only
animals saved from the menagerie are
the camel and elephant. The cause
of the fire is unknown.
Wiess policeman, at sixteen mill
utes after four o'clock in the morning,
while on his patrol, noticed the fire
bursting through the roof, immediate
ly over where the giraffes were kept,
and soon after the animals and birds
began screechins and bowling in a
terrific manner. Alarms were soon
sounded, but the flames spread with
such rapidity that, almost before the
firemen could get the water on Bar
NUNS circus was thing OF the past
The firemen report that the rOars o
the animals were frighttul during thu
short time that they lasted. Two ele
elephants were the only animals saved
When these were led out by thel
keepers they were given large space
by the crowd witnessing the fire, al
though the ANIMALS were very doclle
considering the excitement on al
sides. The front building was i've
stories high and composed nearly alto
gether of corrugated iron and wood
The structure burned, however, a
though it was tinder-box. The fire
men and others were unable to stan'
within a hundred feet of the burning
building, the heat was so intense
The windows of the Academy of Musi
were cracked and broken with tn
{ heat. The doors were blistered, an
the bin boards in front of the Acadt
