ST. JOHN DAMASCENE.

The fair city of Damascus had been
taken by the Saracens. They were indul-
GENT to Christians, aud our Saints father,
. man of great wealth, was even the trust
ed Vizier of the Caliph. John was born A.
ID. 600, and educated with great care by
learned Greek monk, who had been brought
as a slaye to Damascus, and who, when his
work was done, retired to the monastery oil
st. Sabss, On his fathers death John sue
ceeded to his Office. He had now al! that
the world could give him-wealth, honor,
power, learning. 1t was prooaoiy AZ tbls
singular strength and beauty, in defence of
holy images, assailed by the Emperor Leo.
He soon felt the peril of his position, divi-
ded his vast riches amongst the poor, came
down from his high place, and went alone
and on foot to the Holy Places, and thence
to st. Sabas. His life thereafter is a record
of humility, prayer, labor, and obedience |;
and the cell is still shown in which he lived
and wrote. His great work On the Ortho :
doG Faith is the first attempt at dogmaric
or scientific theology, and was text book
and model to succeeding ages. His homl-
lies show great fervor and tenderness, es-
pecially when he speaks of the Blessed
Mother of God. His contemp poraries named
him "Chrysorroes," the Golden Stream,
and he is the last of the Greek Fathers pc
fore the fatal schism. He died A. d. 7S0.
The emperor revepged himsslf on ST..
John by accusing him to the caliph of trea-
son and the enraged caliph ordered the
saints right hand to be struck off. In the
evening St. John knelt before statue of
our Lady, and prayed thus so stainless
Mother of God, in defence of holy images l
have lost my hand I; help me, heal me,
that may still write of thy praises and
those of thy Divine Sen" Sleep came over
him, and he heard in visiop our Lady cay

ST, CYRIL OF JERUSALEM.

We know nothing of Cyril's life until ne
was ordained priest by st. Maximus, who
gave him the important charge of instruct
ing and preparing the candidates for bap,,
tism. This charge he held for several
years. and we still have one series of his
instructions, given in the year 347 or 348.
They are of singular interest as being the
earliest record of the systematic teaching
of the Church on the Creed and Sacramento,
and as having been given in the Church
built by Constantine on Mount Calvary.
They are solid, simple, profound; satu-
rated with Holy Scripture exact, precise,
and terse and, as a witness and exposition
of the Catholic Faith, invaluable. On the
death of St. Maximus be was chosen
Bishop of Jerusalem. At the beginning OF

MEssRs. EDIToRs: After perusing
the last issue of the STAR, I cannot
forbear TO say something about Rich
mond Society among the negroes
We have been a people for dozen
years; for twelve years we have been
shaping and improving ourselves both
mentally and morally. | acknowl-
edge that the time has been short
too short for radical change to have
taken place The change, intellec-
tually. has certainly been remarkable
one. But has it been so morally
Have our morals improved in the
same ratio as our intelligence' ! am
almost constrained to say that in pre-
portion to the increase Of intelligence
morality has declined.
To look at Richmond Society,
truly it is in a deplorable condition.
Ask the question and answer It
truthfully-Is there any socity IN
Richmond' Is there any circle where
| in all the members stand OIL the same
footing as regards virtue and chastity?
This may seem an abSurdity, yet We
answer no. There is no real society
in Richmond. Incredulous as il
sounds, who dares question the verify
Of the statements
Since this is 8 fact, what is the
cause? Who is to be blamed? Has
the Pulpit faithfully done its duty
Has the Press been dumb on this
important subject? Has each mothel
instllled virtue and morality in he1
child from the cradle ? Has she, witt
untirng zeal, attempted to ever keel
before the mind Of her son or daugh
ter that "a good name is rather to b'
chosen than great rirhes7 Has sh'
striven to keep her Child from asSo-
Citations which tend rather to degrad'
than to elevate?
But enough Of this at present. lie
us, during our discussion, view tn
subject from every possible standpoln
looking at both sides, the dark an'
the bright.
We start with the hope, il at an
time we go wrong, or even II we hay
, done SO already, as we a-e all falllbif
re will thank any onStoset Aarighf
And We wish particularly to be un
: derstood that it is our intention
discuss society at large, society IN o

present, and so forth.

truth hurts any class or set Of peopI

THAT LrNCHB U2G PRIZE.

The letter of J. II. Hill, dated 18th |
inst, and published in the STAR OF the
10th inst, purporting to give cor
rect account Of the competitive drill |
at the Lynchburg Fair, is SO full Of
enthusiasm that we fear that the
Captain overlooked the premises OF
my letter and reached his conclusion
before reason had time TO control In
the matter. We think we gave the
Petersburg Guard credit for having
carried off the coveted prize-though
the types NAV have made US say to
the contrary. The second prize being
awarded to the Langston Guard. We
simply took occasion to note the fact
that the Petersburg Blues were highly
commended by gentlemen Of well
known military skill and experience.
AS we were at the Fair, and
in a position to know whereof we
speak, we feel justified in bestowing
upon this, the youngest company IN
the State, the poor compliment OF
having sacted we'll their part. AS
it 10 predicted by many, that the
."Blnes" ere in fair way to become
one Of the finest, if not the best
drilled companies in the State-it may
be this that has brought forth the
fact that the Petersburg Guard still
exist. s'Don't forget IT," | dismiss

A TEMPEST IN A TEAPOT.
Since the days of that redoubtable
knight, Don Quixote, the world has
witnessed no spectacle Of delusive en-
tsrprises and solemn nonsense equal
TO Virginia craftsmanship as repre-
sented n the General Assembly now
in session. One would suppose that
the first business to which that body
would address itself would be some
practical effort to settle the financial
complications Of the Commonwealth
and thereby restore at least a partia
state OF security and prosperity
among all classes Of citizens. Instead
Of this, however, we are treated to the |
discussion OF = joint resolution to ere
ate a committee to report on the
''mode and measure of redress for
the usurpation" Of Judge Rives IN
requiring colored men to be placed on
jury to try negro prisoners. 1t is
sufficient for present purposes to OBJ
serve that the decision Of Judge lEiv
ss is in conformity with the civil rights
law and the common law, OF which the
former is but declaratlve enactment.
Itldid no more than affirm the clear
ana }ndisputable right Of an accused
person to be tried by his peers which
is the only means Of having an impair
tiol trial as guaranteed by the F0der-
al constitution And where, rs in
Virginia. colored men, though IN
every way qualified, are intentionally
and designedly excludedfrom the jury
box on account of c0l0r it was clear
" proper for the Circuit Court Of the
United States to compel fair and I'M
partial uenire to be drawn or to as
sumo jurisdiction itself.
For doing this simple act Of justice,
for carrying out the imperative provis
ions Of the law, for ruling as q right
: eous Judge should rule, Judge Rives
7 is denounced by the noodles Of the
: Virginia Legislature. That grave AS
! sembly isup in arms against what they
: call an Interference with State authori

I slowed on the subject. Well, gentle
