JOHN STEVENS, the young Hoboken
millionaire. had some time ago an
operation performed that he bore with
great fortitude. At birth he had on
his Jaw a mothers mark of brown
color. about an inch square. 1t grew
until in his seventeenth year it had
spread on his neck and at the right
side of his head, increasing greatly
the size of the ear. 1t also berame
covered with hair. During his travels
abroad, large sums we're offered to
Nelaton and other distinguished sur
geons Of Europe, in Gaze they re.
moved the objectionable flesh without
causing death. No physician dared
undertake the task. On the young
mans return, DR.. Willard Parker and
his associate, DR.. Stiinson, of
New York. were appealed to,
and the latter removed the lower
part Of the flesh. Some months
afterward he cut away that which
hung from the head. The patient at
both periods was in q critical IN
dition, but has since been in excel
lent health. and much prefers the scar
that remains to What formerly existed.

The Proposition to Divit
OF Virginia.
he Diocese

Editors Of the Utspotch:
Your interesting account OF the report
touching dismemberment" OF the Dio-
cese Of Virginia expresses the belief that /!
may be done. ~
The vote in the committee may look that
way to those not acquainted with our bis
tory, but it really amounts to nothing more
than courteous postponement OF the ques-
ton.
Several times the effort has been made to
divide Old Virginia, and the same number
OF. times it has been kindly laid upon the
table. / know nothing Of the discussions
in the committee, but cannot tell why there
was not an unanimous vote for Mr.. Black
iord's resolution. Certainly il the clergy
and laity south Of the James river want to
have their own diocese they ought to be al
lowed to go with our best wishes. But
there Is no reason to suppose they wish it.
The only effort made to test their wishes
was at convoeation meeting in Lynchburg,
where the laity almost unanimously OPP
posed it.
presume that the reason why such men
as DR.. Norton and the others in the minor
ity voted against the resolution is that they
want discussion to cease and the clergy to
90 about their proper business as preachers
OF the Gospel.
presume, also, that the reason why such
men rs DR.. Gibson and Mr.. Blackford
brought forward such resolution as was
adopted is that they consider the question
virtually settled against them.
There Is no probability Of division ex-
cept as to West Virginia, which is now q
distinct State, and ought to be separate also
as a diocese. EPIsCoPALIAN.

A Gard.

Having been tried and acquitted by the
Police Justice after an investigation OF the
case, might let my vindication rest with
perfect safety, but deem it proper to cor
rect an error that solne Of the newspapers
have fallen into that quote, as they did, the
Police Justice as saying that ~ was doubt
less guilty, but the evidence was not su6i-
cient to sustain the CHARGE" The Justice
would not have so far forgotten his judicial
position az to have used the language at
tributed to him for this plain reason: that
even If had been acquitted upon as rea-
sonable doubt" then he could not have re-
garded me as being "doubtless guilty."
This would have been gross contradiction
in terms. The truth is that the Justice did
not use the language attributed to him, but
said il Mr.. Page believed that was guilty,
then there would have been some iustitica-
tion for the assault upon ME. Those who
are familiar with the facts in the case, or
know the party accusing me, will doubtless
vindicate ME as a gentleman and Chris
tian, and place the scandal where it belongs.

been admirably managed under her appoint

himself worthy Of the position, for it is diff.
ticult to conceive OF any one doing less and
knowing less of the affairs OF her Office than
Miss Van Lew has done or known.
Mr.. Jeferds is virtually, and has been for

Is admirably administered, and its manage
ment has given great satisfaction. He Is
