Bishop Doggett.

/ After protracted illness, Rev. Da-
vid Seth Doggett, D. D., Bishop OF
the Methodist Episcopal Church,
South, died at his home in Richmond,
Va, Wednesday night, October 27,
1880. This intelligence will occasion
grief anu mourning throughout the
church and country. Bishop Doggett
was fine scholar, an. able minister,
and humble Christian gentleman, and
was justly held in high esteem as a
wise and an impartial Superintend-
ent of the Church. His death, which,
at any time, would have been q pub.
lie calamity, occurring just in the
midst of the sessions Of the Annual
Conferences, and when his remaining
Episcopal colleagues have scarcely
tine and strength to meet their own
appointments, falls with peculiar
and affecting weight on the Church.
The members Of the South Carolina
Conference have been greatly pleased
at the prospect of having him to pre-
side at their session in December.
However we'll his place may be filled
by another the South Carolina Con-
ference will feel sad and sorrowful
when they assemble next month in
Marion, and find that the beloved
brother, Bishop Doggett, is not
there. God has taken his faithful
servant TO himself, and would thus
rcmind the laborers remaining in the
vineyard to work while it is day, and
to be also ready. Bishop Doggett
was born in Lancaster County, Va,
1910; entered the ministry when a
young man; was elected Bishop in
1866, and was about 70 years old
when he dicd.-NeighJor.

Title and Wealth.

When the American girl lavishes
her smiles and her preference upon
the handsome youth of good family
and great fortune, does she prove
herself to be snobP If her feeling
could be analysed, it would be sim
ply this, that she would willingly
marry him as the condition Of an
ample qualification of her social am
itions and tastes. Her marriage
Mould secure her the best social posi-
ii n, and supply her with the splen-
dill environment which she desires.
Tie young English girls sets all her
smNcs in the same way for dissipa-
tee young marquis, let us suppose, ig-
no, ant, boorish, and poor. But are
moi her feelings and purpose the same
as those Of her American sister? Is
not her motive the same desire of the
bes social position and the gratilica-
tlor OF splendid tastes? And is this
whit is meant by snobbery? Evi-
denly Thacheray's lance was thrown
at something more than this, and one
of lie shrewdest of women says that
vel :, snobbery is worship of rank as
ma king higher order Of humanity.
Th English girl, says this authority,
dos , not look upon the marquis MS
the American girl looks upon the
yo' n9 millionaire, but she thinks him
to superior being and his will
ing ess to marry her condescension.
Thi is the degradation Of snobbery,
she argues, that q mere accident, or
son ething wholly apart from the
cha acter or endowment Of the person,
like the form Of his nose or the color
Of lis hair, should overcome another
per- on as kind OF celestial superi.
olilv. No American girl can under
sta' d that anybody is her superior
me rly because lie is Of certain
family or of recognized rank, and
she would laugh until sunset at the
sue gestion that man called a duke
dill her q favor, or condescendcd to
he:, when lie promised to marry her.
Sn 'bhery, according to this view, is
tb worship Of rank-a worship
W ,ich levels ali moral and mental
di tinctions and eats up the soul.
Bat the desire Of money in the case
o the American also levels such dis.
tnctions and in the same way. This
j, not all essential difference between
he feeling which impcls woman to
marry marquis because of his rank
however poor, and ignorant, and re-
pulsive he may be, and that which
l'ersuades her to marry millionaire
because of his money. Snobbishness
is the sacrifice Of time, and labor, and
Iiought, and energy, in fact, of life,
TO- mere worldly display. The woman
WHO laughs at the prelensions Of So
cial rank and noble title, yet who
gives herself for fortune, is no less
II snob than her sister who gives her
self for coronet. In the one case
the coronet stands for all that the
fortune implies in the other. If in
deed rank be held 10 be indicative of
something superior, yielding to it is
more respectable than surrender to
mere money.

AS to slouchy wives, we have no
charity for them; we would ignore
their existence if we could. Many
wonder at the great reluctance on
tic part Of young men OF o-iiay mar
rying but when we see the frowsy
heads, the untidy dressing of the
wives Of the young men who are
married, we cease 10 wonder. 1t is a
little singular that women think it nc
ccssary before marriage to "fix up"
and look always &: their best to win
and keep the loves Of their sweet
heats, but think it altogether unne-
ccssary after marriage. Were women
as particular TO keep themselves
looking becoming anil 20 be always

when swecthcarts, we would have

slouch wife, be lie ever so "starchy,'
never cares much for his own appear
