whether he had ordered q search for Henry j. Gunn
whose father. Justin L. Gum. was murdered ut
Titicut. near Bridgewater. N. H., on Friday last.
The son. according to published reports. was sus-
pected OF the crime and the belief prevailed that
he had come back to Brooklyn this city. Super
intendent Campbell said he had not been notified Of
the case by the police authorities of Titicut and
did not feel warranted to move in the matter. The
deceased. a native OF New England. about fifty
years of and had been eng aged in the printing
business at No. SO Ann street. this city for several
years. He said to be worth upward of SIS, 900.
His first wife died about thirteen years ago. leaving
two sons. Henry J. and Melvin. now aged twenty
three and twenty-one years respectively. The
latter is married and lives in BROOKLYN.
About year after the death of his first
wife Mr.. Justin L. Gum married a Miss Towe.
of Pittsfed. N. H.. by whom he had
one child, girl now five years of age. His son
Henry is said to have been . OF great anxiety
and annoyance to him, and to have caused him to
take to drinking. Last May. having purchased q
farm ut Titicut, he went to reside there, taking
Henry with him. His wife continued to live at No.
- st. Felix street. which is a handsomely furnished
brown stone front. About two weeks ago Mr. Gum
visited Brooklyn to meet his wife, but owing to
mischance did not her. 1t is said that he col

him to Titicut. The funeral will take place to-day

SENATOR WADE HAMPTON, in his
first effort before the United States
senate, last Wednesday, made the
most truly patriotic and statesman
like speech of the session. In the
course of his remarks he said.
But in no event can consent to aid in
disbanding the army or impairing its eff
cheney. 1t is the army of the South MS
well as of the North. 1t is the army of
the whole country. In its history from
the days of the Revolution through lis
achievements of 1872 and glories of the
Mexican war, have some reason, by
right of birth and blood, to be proud. In
the late civil contest, on many bloody
field, tested its svalor, and no act or word
of mine shall dopreciate its value or les
sen its usefulness. Because | so regard
it, no act of mine shall tend to degrade il
from its high rank. will not so legislate
that against its own honorable instincts
and traditions il shall be an instrument of
tyrany in the hands of any factions, party
or Executive who may be so unscrupu-
lous as so to desire. Nor shall | assent
because of any differences of opinion be-
tween the minority and majority, to close
the courts of justice, or ombarrass the
necessary or orderly life of the govern
ment. The constitution has provided
means by which an appeal to the country
can be determined, and il is for the peo-
pie to decide whether the Presidential
veto has been wisely used TO defeat the
will OF congress, which represents the ma
jority Of the people.

THE METHODIST PUBLIsHINe HOUSE

tHk METHODIST PUBLISHING HOUSE.
DR.. j. B. MeFerrin, Of Nashville.
will deliver a lecture this evening at
half-past eight o'clock at the First
Methodist church in this city, on the
condition Of prospects of the publish
ing interests of the Methodist Episco-
pal Church South. The subject isone
in which every citizen, and especially
every member and friend of the Meth
odist church, should feel great con-
eern. 'Let every one who can be
present attend the meeting. No
collection will be taken, but a plan
adopted by the agent and committee
will be submitted for the consideration
Of the friends of religion and sound
literature. We hope there will be a full
house. DR.. McFerTia is an ableand re-
markable man, and one of whom the
powerful denomination he represents
may well be proud. He has been in
the ministry tiity-four years and is we'll
nigh seventy-fye years old, yet he is
vigorous, able worker and one of the
mostuseful men of the day. He has
for great many years been in charge
OF the highest and most important
trusts of the church. The general
conference at its recent session at
Atlanta appointed him agent of the
Methodist publishing house at Nash
vile, and under his able management
the financial difficulties of thatinstitu-
tion will soon be surmounted. The
Methodists have met this matter
bravely Feeling that the good name
Of the church was involved, they re-
solved to pay out, and will do so. The
original debt was about $325,0OO
This has been reduced to about S6O,-
900, and under the plan proposed, it
is believed this will soon be converted
into a bonded debt, which can be east
ly carried. This determination reflects
great credit upon the Southern Meth
odists, and will, in the end, give them
greater strength and influence than
ever. We learn that the Christian
Advocate, the organ of this denomina-
tion, of which Dr. McFerrin was for
many years the editor, has doubled its
circulation in the past year, and that
the Publishing House has already
been set upon its feet and is on a pay
ing basis.

N. P. Willis drew this pen-portrait
of Tom Moore in 1885: " His eyes
sparkle like a champagne bubble :
there is a kind of wintry red, of the
tinge of the October leaf, that seems
enameled on his cheek his lips are
delicately cut slight and changeable
as an aspen; the slightly turned-up
nose confirms the fun of the express
sion, and altogether it is face that
sparkles, beams, radiates. The
light that surrounds him is all from
within. ,"
