BONNETs AND HATS.

A GREAT REVIVAL.
Business Interfered With in Richmond
by Negroes 'Seeking the Lord"


IN. Y. Timesl
RICHMOND, April IA An extraordinary re-
vival Of religion prevails here among the col
ored people. Prayer meetings are held
nightly at all the churches. AT the three
largest churches the number of "mourners"
Is from 400 to 800 on each occasion. Rev. John
Jasper, whose sermon, "Do the Earth Mover"
attracted such attention, is among the most
successful OF the pastors. The excitement
where about 500 children are taught, there
has been much concern" on the part
could not be proceeded with. The chill
dren kept their heads bowed down
upon their desks and would not join in
the singing or pursue their, studies. The
teachers notified the principal, who, in turn,
informed the City Superintendent OF Schools
ALI expostulation being In vain, the superin-
tendent got Rev. J. H. Holmes, pastor Of the
First African Church. to address the refrac
tory ones, telling them that the best evidence
of true religious conviction was the cheerful
and diigent discharge Of temporal duties
IhereupOn they returned to their studies.
According to the custom Of the more ignorant
of the negroes on nearly every day, but par
ticularly on the Sabbath, dozens of stalwart
men may be seen PROSTATE in the woods on
the hillsides Of the suburbs, praying for grace
Work In several of the tobacco factories has
been seriously impeded by the prevailing ex-
element
Many incidents, showing how widespread
and intense is this religious movement, might
be given. There are probably $500 men,
women and children seeking the Lord"
''The anxious" can be readily discerned by
their melancholy visage and avoidance OF
conversation. 1t is with difficulty word can
be got out Of them. After they have passed
through the period of anxiety and have
found the Lord" they throw off the gloom
and are cheerful and happy, and join with
great fervor in the hymns Of praise The
present revival is without parallel in Rich.

many OF the pastors say they were aston

proportions. To-day Rev. John Jasper bap-
TIED O great number at the pool OF his church.
Rev. Scott Gurthmey baptized many more
in the pond near Oakland Cemetery. The
congregations were immense. There are nine
colored churches here, and all but two of them
are Of the Baptist denomination.

A rather curious incident connected with
the late war in the Orient is the petition to
the Austrian government to take steps to OBJ
tain satisfactory disinfection of the battle
ton comes from-the actuaries Of the life in
surance companies of Vienna Odd as this
looks, the chain Of reasoning is perfectly
natural and unimpeachable. The soil OF
those provinces is soaked with putrefaction,
which, when the hot weather comes on, will
infallibly aggravate the scourge Of typhus
which is already ravaging Southeastern
Europe: the infection will be carried to
Vienna and other parts of Austria, and in
crease the death rates; this will threaten the
profits Of the companies hence, naturally,
their action. So complicated thing is

The new principality Of Bulgaria, accord
Ing to the treaty OF San Stefano, will comprise
more than one-haif of European Turkey. The
territory detached from the Ottoman Empire,
as nearly as can be calculated, will measure
about $500 square leagues, a surface double
that of Belgium and Holland put together.
The new principality, however, will not be SO
thckly peopled; with all its additions it will
scarcely number 100000 Of inhabitants; that
is to say, about as many as Belgium And
yet the old provinces Of Bulgaria and Rou-
melia were the most populous, fertile and in
dustrious that Turkey possessed.

THE BEAUTY.

Re my most pleasing duty
no describe q little beauty,
Though never saw her face
But within picture case
'Twould look better In q bonnet,
with wreath Of flowers upon it,
And living smile to sun it.
But even round that picture cover
Love and Memory ever hover
Like the bees round tops OF clover.
1t La the daguerreotype
OF all that's rich and rare and ripe!
Let me count the rosary
or her charms, and bend the knee
Of unpretending poesy
Before the leather-covered shrine
OF this patron saint OF thine,
Who, combining every grace,
Reigns female Bonlface
Hair In deep dark currents flowing.
whose smooth waves with light are glowing
Az In countless drifts and whlrlS
It breaks upon her neck In cnrls;
Flashing eyes, with azure tinged,
Jetty arched, and silken frlnged;
BEST he'll be whom their warm glances
Coax along to loves advances,
Happy he who shall behold
Loves first buds in them unfold,
Her dainty nose I'll not define
As either Greek or aquilne,
Nor 1t with ostentation call
"The noblest Roman of them ALL
But all their beauties blent in one
Gould only match this paragon;
For In it mingle all the graces
Seen In those OF classic faces.
Cheeks that, though peace on them reposes
War again the jealous roses;
A dainty mouth, enwreathed with smiles
But free from all coquettish wiles,
Whose curved lips vernilliOn hued,
Are loves own sweet similtude;
While through them oft are seen beneath
Flashing pearl-enameled teeth.
There you see all rare AMI bright,
A face OF which dream at night,
IT. bar nhor Two RIGHTLY told
Ills an angel you behold.
Who will win and wear the beauty
Some old fellow grim and sooty.
You smile and doubtless think 1t funny;
Let me add he'll have the money
A sour and mOuldy, hard old crust,
Round whom Dame Fortune drifts her dust
Some brute who may abuse and thump her,
Or some sleek young counter jumper
A shrewd, adulterating grocer
Nethinks hear you mutter mo, sir!
All! my boy, you should know BETTER
One Of them is sure to get her.
Depend upon it, she'll be won
By JONES' or Brown or Robinson.
III she fishes for a mate
With youth and beauty as bait,
The chances are she'll catch Tartar,
And die a matrimonial martyr;
Or, after years of angling, marry
Tom-ay, even Dick or Harry
II her heart is not as true
As her features fair to view,
For you to strive to rival Mammon
1S worse, my friend, far worse than CANNON
Most beauties are, you should consider,
Knocked down to the highest bidder.

Bishop wilmer and Col. Shorter.

Mr. Editor-The following incident has been
80 frequently spoken of In public by those
who were present on the occasion referred to,
that It cannot be deemed an intrusion upon
In the Baptist. AS it is highly creditable to
both of the distinguished gentlemen whose
names are mentioned, neither Of them can
object:
Col Shorter is great admirer of Bishop
Wilmer. The bishop, in company with other
guests, was dining at the coloneIs house.
While they we're enjoying the pleasures of the
festive board, the bishop pleasantly re-
marked, ''Well, colonel, | had hoped during
my present visit to Eufaula to have had the
pleasure OF receiving you by confirmation
into my church"
THANK you, bishop" said Colonel s.. .'for
considering me worthy to belong to your
church: have great veneration for It, but
/ have been an humble member OF the Baptist
Church from my youth. My father and
trines OF that church and educated me in the
same faith
Besides this, bishop" continued Col s.,
after moments pause, tthere is sentiment
mere poetic sentiment, II you choose SO
to call (which will never let me leave the
Baptist church in Eufaula. The bell that
hangs in the tower of the church was pre-
sented by my mother, over thirty years ago,
to the oldest Baptist church in our city.
When we finished our new brick building the
mothers name cast upon, 1t. When | hear it
ringing on the Sabbath day 1t sounds to me
like the sweet voice OF my angel mother In
Heaven calling me to worship at the same
altar where she worshipped while on earth
How can I, Bishop, turn q deaf ear to that
U0iCe?"
The colonel's eyes filled with tears and the
bishop kindly replied: ''That is beautiful
sentiment my fri md, and honor you for 1t;
stay where you are, and may God bless you"
