PASTORAL CALL.-Rev. E. Thompson
Baird, D. D., has received an invitation
from the Presbyterian church at Mchin-
ney, Texas, to visit them with the view Of
accepting pastoral charge OF the congrega-
ton. The field is Il large and promising
one. and the call was unanimous on the
part of the congregation. He will leave
for that distant point to-day. DR.. Baird
has long been regarded as one OF the fore
most ministers in his denomination in the
State. During his residence here he has
made many friends, who will be grieved to
part with him and his estimabIe family.
The best wishes OF these will accompany
him and them in their far-off home should
he decide to 20 there. During the Doctors
absence from this city his business will be
consigned to competent hands.

Thomas Lord and Mrs. Hicks.

Philadelphia Press.
New YORK, January l2.-There is
not little stir in the social circles up
town consequent upon the fact that
Mr.. Thomas Lord is dangerously i'll at
his residence, No. 10 West Fourteenth
street. 1t is only about a year since
the wedding with Mrs, Hicks took place
which aroused the opposition of Mr..
Thomas Lords sons so violently and
led to proceedings in the courts. Mrs.
Hicks had long been known in this
city as the giver of the most wonder
full dinners of the metropolis. There
were frequently displayed on the table
in the course of one of her entertain
ments $4,000 of silver, gold, porcelain
and crystal. The lavish way in
which she spent money both in
this city and in London and
elsewhere, led to diminution
of her resources, and when she
captured the venerable old millionaire
of West Fourteenth street and mar
ried him, it was the subject of a great
deal of remark. Cardinal McCloskey
performed the ceremony. The two
sons of Mr.. Lord, one or two of whom
are good specimens of the sort of edu-
Gated fools the metropolis produces in
large Numbers, sued to have the affairs
Of the old man taken out of his hands,
as they regarded his marriage with
Mrs, Hicks an evidence of lunacy, and
they very freely characterized the lady
herself in uncomplimentary language
The officers of the law were unable to

The great change that has taken
place in methods of warfare is shown
by the question submitted to army Of
fcers by the Board of Army Equip
ment as to the practicability of abol-
ishing the use of the bayonet and sabre
in our military service. In the be.
ginning of the present century the
great battles Of Europe, if history be
true, were to great extent fought
and sometimes determined by the sabre
and bayOnet, although the artillery
was also an efficient arm of the ser
vice. Even as late as the beginning
of our own war it was thought worth
while to teach the bayonet drill, and
companies gave exhibitions of their
skill in handling a weapon almost
never brought into play. Since the
war breech-loading and magazine guns
have been so far perfected that it is
really a question whether bayonet
can be again used in warfare. With
the gradual abandonment of sabre and
bayonet, the last link that connects
the soldiery of to-day with the chiv-
airy who fought hand -to-hand with
battle-axes and spears will have dis
appeared.

erve their papers, however, because

serve their papers, however, because
they could not get into the mansion.
and after a long and amusing battle,
the young men were beaten, and Mrs.
Hicks Lord displayed a number of
little American flags from the windows
OF the house in celebration of her vic
tory The young men, who, for a
time, actually believed that they were
IN danger Of being compelled to work
for their own living and make their
way through the world by the exercise
OF their own power, were finally quiet
ed with some sort of compromise, and
they at once subsided into obscurity.
Mr.. Lord is now very i'll. He caught
bad cold three weeks ago, and there
there is a complication of troubles
which seems to indicate that his end
is near For two weeks he has been
unable TO partake of fsolid food. He is
kept up only with stimulants. His
wife is his most faithful attendant,
and no one except herself and
DR.. Chalmers and the other physicians
are admitted to his room. 1t is not
known exactly how large the fortune
of Mr.. Lord is, but it is believed that
he has at least million, and perhaps
has more, over and above the estate
which was the subject of the compro-
mise with his sons. 1t is not ex-
pected that the old man will recover
from his present attack, and it may
safely be said that information about
the provisions of his will are awaited
with more social interest here than in
the case of any other man for long
period of years.
