The Late Bishop Payne.

Correspondence of the Alexandria Gazette.
WEsTMoRELAND, Va, Oct. 3l.--Our entire
community was greatly shocked by the sudden
death of Bishop John Payne, announced some
days ago 10 your paper. 1t were hardly IN place
Tor your correspondent to write the eulogy OF
such man, but there is so much of heartfelt
grief at his untilnely demise, and our loss Is SO
keenly felt that "a letter on any other subject
would seem out Of place. This loss touches all
our hearts. Bishop Payne was not great man
in the sense 10 which We ordinarily understand
these words, but his goodness, his purity aud
saiutliDess were Something rare Indeed. But
his great characteristic was in his being a0orf-
en- 10 this he had few equals. None but those
who knew the sacrifices he made here the prl-
yations he underwent the thoughtlunesS ne
displayed, can realize the energy that possessed
him, aud that made his lite what 1t Was-a
blessing TO all around. If his character could
be better expressed in one way than another 1t
would be that he had d genius for rOih. lie
was uuceasiug in his etf)rts for the good OF
those around him, especially the poor, the
ignorant, and the dcpraved going among them,
preaching and visiting, and uinisterlng to their
temporal as well as spiritual wants. The result
BILE not only in the improved morals, but 10 The
amended physical condition and SURROUNDINGS
of these poor people, who have truly lost their
best earthly friend, for lie cared for their bodies
only less than for their souls, At the time OF
his death be had in addition to the regular
work of his parish, undertaken to build Two
other churches, on one Of which the workmen
were to have commenced operations the week
after his death. The other was to have cost,
| understand, some $40 UUO. Ills funeral was
the largest that has ever been seeH 10 this CON
munity. Many hundreds were unable TO obtain
entrance into the church at Oak Grove, where
the tuDeral services We're celebrated by Rev.
Messrs. Mcguire and Tucker Ii was truly
time of mourning, to old aud young Especially
these last were sad, for the Sunday School
here was his tavorte fsld Of work, aud the
youth of the neighborhood were greatly attach
ed to him. He was buried at Cavalla, his resi-
deuce, which he had lately erected, aud which
with his usual energy aud taste he had greatly
adol ned. ii.

few days ago. As the mayor of a city 10 a

not to be offended the mayor said to him: " My

THE APOTHECARY'S OATH. The Medical

bit of medieval cursng architecture. Says that
journal: Who is the guardian saint of the
apol hecaries we do not know, but somebody
mas dsiDterred an ancient oath, which formerly
had to be taken by every French pharmaccut-
ist 1t runs thus:
II take to witness, before all, God, the Crea-
tor Of the universe, in three persons, that dur
ing the whole of my life | will observe that
which follows:
II will live and die in the Christian faith.

That is not such az antiquated oath, but that
we should like to see 1t revived and respected.

Two WRINKLES Very often screw hvle
gets so worn that the screw will not stay 10.
Where glue is handy. the regular carpenter
makes the hole larger and CLUES in large plug,
making nest for an ordinary new hole. But
this is not always the case, and people without
TOOLS and in an emergency, often have to fix
the thing at ouce Generally leather is used,
but this is SO hard that tt does not hold we'll.
The best Of all things is to cut narrow strips of
cork, and fill the hole completely. Then force
the screw in. This will make as tight job as
it driven into an entirely new hole.
Another hint ola similar character may be
useful. One often desires to put staple into
block Of stone. The hole is made, the staple
inserted, and lead melted and run TO- But un-
less the hole is made with the bottom larger
than the top, the lead will, 10 time, work out,
if there is much jar or side strain on the iron
Besides the lead itself is liable to some COM
pressioo, which admits of looscness, especially
after being subjected to very hot fires A much
better article Is SUI phur. lfthis be melted and
poured 10 around the staple instead of lead, it
makes a much more durable job. Besides,
it is Often more easy to procure sulphur than
lead, as every store keeps it that deals in geper
al variety.

How Councismen Grow Rich without

CINCINNATI, Jan. IL, 1874.
II has long been mystery here how certain

RECOVERY OF COLONEL TERRELL.
Colonel g. W. Terrell, whose attempted assassi-
nation q lew weeks ago 10y Tom Francis, IN Covlng-
ton, KY, created sucn sensation, appeared on
the streets yesterday for the first time, and was
warmly received, not only by his newspaper
friends, but by the many newspaper readers IN
both cities who have watched ms fearless attacks
upon fraud ana his irresistible exposures OF
Official corruption. 1t appears now that the stab
received III the pit OF the stomach, TO the right
of the median line, and therefore, fortunately, TOO
high to injure the intestnes The stomach was
penetrated by the blade OF the weapon. and the
blood vomited at the time undoubtedly entered the
organ from the wounded tissues.
Colonel Terrell says he expected to live through
the attack after the first day, and attributes mis-
recovery to the fact that he had nothing in the
form OF food in his body at the time and 10 natu-
rally strong constitution He Is quietly gathering
materials TO sustain his charges against Esquire
Francis, iather OF the would-be assassin He is also
attending to the prosecution or Tom Francis for
the attempt on his life.
