The Rev. Father Bjerring yesterday delivered q
discourse in English in the little chapel in Second

OF Christianity and the inner lie OF the Orthodox
Church IN Russia. 1t was more OF lecture tran

rite on the Duchess olga In Constantnople. In 955
A. D., was the historical opening of the way for
Christianity though 1t IS believed that 1t had
obtained a footing there at an earlier period. The
Grand Duke Vladimir, the nephew OF the Duchess,
soon after embraced Christianity ana the entire
nation appeared to have grown weary OF heathen-
ism and to be ready to embrace any new form
OF religion. Vladimir desired to find some religion
that would meet the wants OF the nation, and TO
this emo he received populations from the churcnes
OF other countries in Europe ana sent deputies OF
his own to those countries to make choice OF a
religion. His deputies visited Germany, Bulgaria
ana Greece and were highly delighted with the
splendor and dignity or the Greek Church. She
was their choice. and the first bishops and priests
for Russia were sent tnither from Constantinople.

Mississippi unless state of lawlessness ex-
sted there thai the local military was unable
10 suppress, Gov. Ames has set himself dlli-
gently to work to bring about state OF things
to meet the attorney generals requirements
Ames' chief cerpe,.bag rival in Mississippi
has been Senator Alcorn, the same who lald
him out IN the last contest for the L. 3. Sena
torship. Though both are exceedingly loya'
carpet-baggers, the feud between them, since
that contest has been deadly. The home oil
Alcorn is at Friar's Point, IN Coahoma coun'
", a county with about S000voter four-ftths
of whom are negroes, and whom Alcorn had
formerly held IN the hollow OF his hand
But year ago, after Ames and Alcorn had
quarrelled, Ames organized negro party
against Alcorn IN that county, and secured
the election of Brown, negro, as sheriff over
the Alcorn party. Since then the teud be-
tween the two parties has been steadily grow
ing hotter. A week or two ago Brown ira.
versed the county making speeches against
Alcorn, calling him Windy jim" Alcorn
retortsd by showing up Browns thieveries
and rascalities. Then Brown went TO i'm
porting powder and buckshot, declaring his
purpose to clean the Alcorn party out. AS
the whites by this time had generally ranged
themselves on the side Of Alcorn, they also
began to arm themselves.
WnInoelo,, Of II; pro,rp fynI a
the day when the cleaning out business WAS
to begin at Friar's Point About 800 armed ne.
gros were said to be approaching the town that
morning under command of Sheriff Brown
About 100 whites were armed and ready to
receive them, under command of Gen. Chal,
mers. No negroes approaching the town by
noon, Gen. Chalmers went out to hunt them.
A mile or two from town he found about 1000
negroes, most of them unarmed-Brown with
them. Chalmers asked Brown to order them
TO disperse, which he did, but the negroes re-
fused to go. Then Chalmers ordered them
TO disperse, which they did, but collected
again, when Chalmers charged them and
drove them off by firing over their heads.
They again collected behind bayou, and
Chalmers ffanked them, and fired again.
This time he wounded some of the negroes
He kept driving them until he reached
Clarksdale, when they all disappeared, stop
ping at their homes as they were driven back
Brown meantime made his escape to Helena,
where at last accounts he was begging some
of the principal men TO return with him to
Friar's Point and help to settle the difficulty.
