The following characteristic Incl.
dent is told Of General Early in a re-
cent Richmond (Va.) letter to the
Louisville Ky. Ledger:
General Jubal Early is in this city,
attending the supreme court of ap.
peals, in which he practices. A few
days since he and Colonel Fleury
were in Gerot's saloon, when in walk
ed Rush Burgess, U. S. Internal Rev
enue Collector, lately defeated for
Congress, together with Honorable
j. Amber Smith, by Ex-Governor
Walker, and who recently shot ne
gro burglar under circumstances
which caused the jury Of inquest to
return a verdict of "commendable
homicide" He at once approached
General Early and his companion, Of.
fering cigars, which they accepted,
supposing him to be an old comrade
in arms.

with loathing, and turned away.
Burgess made some remark to Col.
Fleury about the Generals age, when
the old hero returned.
"Sir," said he, Il am old enough

young enough to stand up to it!'

-FOrceythe Wilson, the brilliant
young poet, about whom you Will lind
a most interesting sketch in the March
"Atlantic," as well as selections from
his poems, wrote one of his finest po-
ems, "The Old Servant" as the carri-
ers' address of the Louisville Journal,
in 1868. He died in 1867. He is de-
scribed az tall in person, of fine figure,
with look and bearing which might
have distinguished him on any street.
His face was oval, with a complexion
olive, dark; his hair was a glossy
black, having a peculiar crisp, short
wave or curl. His eyes were large,
dark brown and almond-shaped, as DIR.
Oliver Wendell Holmes has described
them. He had, indeed, somewhat OF
an oriental look aud manner. His
voice was soft, rich and gentle-it bad
kindness aud sincerity of tone that
was the natural outflow of his heart.
He was the very soul of sincerity, gen-
erosity, courtesy and truthfulness and
if tenderness aud sweetness are re-
markable in his poetry, they We're moi
less remarkable in his character. He
was one of those rarer poets whose poe
try Is first in their life, and perhaps
grows poorer in their best verses. Ht
lost his wife, to whsm le was tender
ly devoted, and his letter announcing
the fact is y model Of strong pathos and

PASTORAL LETTER.

To the Clergy and Laity of Northern Texas:
BRETHREN, BELOVED IN THE LoRD-I
have appointed the Primary Convoca-
ton of the Missionary District of
Northern Texas, to he be held in Saint
Matthew's Cathedral, Dallas, on the
sixth OF May, being Ascension Day.
All the clergy of the district are affec-
tionately requested to be present.
AS L haye resolved to do nothing
without the counsel of my clergy, and
the faithful laity also assisting, it ia
my very earnest desire that every
parish and mission station will send
at least two lay delegates to share our
worship and aid us with their sympa-
thy and advice. t...
70 the representative laity of those
towns where, as yet, no organization
has been effected, a very cordial invita-
ti0n is hereby extended. Their pres
ence is specially desired, that they
may make known the wants, capabili-
ties and prospects of their several
localities.
The powers of this convOcation are
advisory and consultative, not legisla-
tive. We are not authorized to make
laws, but we are required to ADOPT the
canons of some diocese for our 1ovcri-
ment
This is matter OF very grave I'M
portance for our future growth and
strength will very largely depend upon
the wisdom and sound practical use-
fulness Of the principles adopted for
our guidance at the outset. A mistake
now and here, is far more serious than
in an older state of church life, or IN a
community where public opinion has
become fixed. Things here are fast
taking shape; whether they shall
form OH symmetrical and churchly
lines, or otherwise, depends on US.
1t is not, however, by any means,
intended to confine the convocation to
the discharge of the above duty; on
| the contrary, we earnestly hope to
make the occasion one Of special value
i'm all of the following respects:
First-By the diffusion of informa-
ton as to the mission of the church In
this district.
Secondly the kindling of mission
ary zeal, courage and the spirit OF self
sacrifice. t4
Thirdly the strengthening of mu-
tual sympathy and love around COM
mon altar. ''f
Fourth-By stimulating our intel
lectual and religious life through ser
mons and addresses on various sub
iects of general interest.
cannot too strongly impress upon
you all how deeply feel the need OF
your constant sympathy and hearty
corporation. The work assigned us is
exceptionally difficult, but with true
hearts and faithful souls, "striving To-
qctbe, for the faith Of the gospel" the
victory cannot be doubtful.
Praying that onr Heavenly Father
may always haveyou in his holy keep.
ing ], ain your faithful friend and
bishop, ALEX. c. GARRETT.

ENOUGH OF GRANT.

The president has been quietly smok-
ing his third term cigar, and putting
but little smoke, only just enough for
the world to see that it was lit, with
out making the smoke offensive. Con-
gress meets, and he knocks the ashes
off of it, and there is the fire of his pur-
pose visible in the Arkansas somer-
sault, the caucus bill, the scheme 70
pay the army for two years, the en-
couragement of Kellogg and other am
bilious deviltries, which smack strong
~ of disposition to provoke strife, in
order to have an excuses not only for
interference, but downright usurpa-
tion, by a forcible attempt to hold over
as president. All the troubles in the
south have been brought about simply
to, control, ifpossihle, the electoral votes
of as many of the southern states as
possible. Such an audacious piece of
ambition would never be tried on
among the western or northern states.
All of the influence and power of his
eighty thousand office holders will be
expected to manage the rest of the
country in the presidents interest for
a third term, and the south will be
badgered to sufficient point Of
evaporation, If possible, to warrant
the cry of more reconstruction to
put out "the fires Of the rebellion" The
times are indeed ominous. We are
either upon the brink of a great ma
tional trouble or else upon the eve of
such a regeneration by the ballot-box
as has never been seen in this country.
The spirit of the people shown in the
last election gives promise ofa thor
ough oyerhauling and cleaning of our
political Augean stables. Ifthere was
an alarm felt six mouths ago, and the
necessity of checking the president
painfully apparent, certainly the
course of the president aud his party
calls for a more decisive expression of
the will of the people. The country is
Ia no condition to have its prosperity,
business or liberties tampered with by
ring OF sordid traitors for their own
aggrandizement, aud If the question Is
to be narrowed down to enough OF
Grant or anarchy, then Mr.. Grant
must be offered inevitable induce
ments to ''step down and out" and
joiu the innumerable caravan In which
Colfax, Chandler, Carpenter, Butler
and other immaculate self-made frauds
are journeying on to infamy with.
