AN ELECTION FOR PASTOR
That Caused q General Row IN q colored
Church.
Nemphis Avalanche.

Memphis Avalanche.
Wiley Campbell was arrested yesterday
and fined five dollars and costs for striking
Jesse Kirby, one of the dsacons of a colored
Baptist church in Chelsea, last Sunday night.
The incident Is worthy of mention on ac-
count of the circumstances producing and
attending it.
The occasion was the election Of pastor
for the church. The prominent candidates
we're Brother Smith and Brother Jones. The
former was the incumbent. He was accused
of being too fond of his toddy and rather too
"Utah" with the sisters. He was supported
by the sisters, while the brethren were bent
on having him put out and Brother Jones put
in. The balance of power was held by seven
deacons, six of whom were opposed to Smith.
Brother johnson was the moderator. After
the relative merits of the two candidates had
been discussed with the greatest frankness a
vote was called. Another heated discussion
arose. Brother McNeal said, "Brother Mod
orator, moves de previous question"
Brother Jesse Kirby: "Brother Moderator,
dat motion is out of order"
Brother McNeal: "Brother Moderator,
please recognize my motion"
Moderator "No, Brother Mac, l can't
reco'nize you, kase Brother Kirby done move
de previous question"
Brother McNeal: "I makes a motion in
loo of dat previous question"
Moderator: Dat motions out o. order,
'cordin' to de manual of parliamentary tic
taos"
This ruling caused profound sensation,
and Brother Sheridan moved to adjourn.
Brother Pender seconded the motion and
emphasized it with the exclamation, Yes,
les leave hyar."
Then came the pyrotechnics that afterward
threw light on the proceedings in the Justices
court. The crowd bioke up, the sisters ges-
ticulating and screechipg, aud the brethren
raising Cain in their own way.
Brother Campbell came up to Brother
Kirby and said: "Kirby, you done cause all
dis row." and with that gave him puach in
the back. Sister Campbell, wife of the
brother aforementioned, came, and shaking
her fist in Kirby's face, rema ked, Wen fix
yer"
Sister Martha Smith (wife of the accused
pastor) chlmed in with: 81 want blow at
yer, too, Brother Kirby; you bin raisin' all
dis devlment, an I'm de woman kin lick
YER"
Kirby's friends here rushed in and rescued
him from the circle of enraged sisters.
Whereupon Brother Wes Jones said, soto
roce, " Brother McNeal moved to strike out
artikle fit OF de manual, but Brother Camp
bell done struck out Brother Kirby"
Another election for pastor will be held to-
night.

The Turks.

The New York Nation, in an admirable
criticism on receut publication-the history
OF The Ottoman Empire, by Vicomte A. de la
Jonquiere-has this to say Of the Turks:
As far as race is concerned, there was little
iu common between the peoples widespread
the doctrines of the Koran throughout Ara
ba, carried them trumphantly along the
nolSh of Africa, crossed into and subdued
Spain, poured into France, went down under
the hammer of the Frank, were driven out
of Spain by Ferdinand and Isabella, and
witheIed away almost to the original source
between these peoples and the Ottoman
Turk. Nationalities, however, disappear un-
der the all.embracing type of religion
which, perhaps more than any other In his
tory, has absorbed the whole existence Of the
state. In no particular does the religion Of
Christ stand In sharper contrast TO that of
Mohammed than in the formers saying, "My
kingdom is not of this world" His self
styled vice-gerents did, no doubt, introduce a
good deal of confusion as to the boundaries
of the two realms, but when modern civili-
temporal changes were compatible with the
preservation of the spirit of religion. The
Koran, on the other hand, comprised the
civil law of Islamism, and was that of half
barbarous people. 1t was based upon war,
despotism, slavery, and, above all, polygamy
aud the inferiority Of woman in all respects.
Therefore the Turk, not merely as Turk, but
Is Mohammedan, Is what he has been for
enturies-somewhat milder, certainly, for
sultan does not now celebrate his accession
by the deliberate murder Of all his brothers,
and prime minister, on being dismissed, Ia
merely sent into exile instead Of being pre-
sented with halter; but the utter futillty Of
all real attempts at reform Is more and moro
apparent.
A more consistently dismal story 1t would
be difficult to invent. From the time when,
about the year 1000, the Turks, with the
Mougols and Tarsars, began to pour down
from the regions Of The Caspian, tbeirhistory
Is that of continuous bloodshed and destruc-
some of the fairess portions Of the earths sur
face to desert. Countries which In the
time Of the Roman Empire were filed with
fiourishing cities, with agriculture and COM
merce, are now the habitations Of wild beasts
or Of scanty tribes Of nearly as wild human
beings. One might turn from the history In
disgust were it not that As the Eastern

A California Barbecue.
.Saa Francisco Chronicle.

San Francisco Chronicle.
The first preparation Of the barbecue was
the slaughter of dozen sheep, dozen pork
ers, and half score Of beeves-fatted, all of
them for the occasion-the selected of count
less focks, droves, and herds, choice, fat, and
young. Next the trench was dug; 115 feet
long, four feet deep, and four feet broad.
From that moment all The operations were
conducted under the immediate management
of the chief of the barbecue and his assist
ants. At midnight on Saturday file was
lighted the entire Length of the trench, and
carefully fed until six o'clock the next morn
ing. Scientifically fed was the fire, for the
seven cords of wood must leave no charred
nor smoky embers !. nothing but glowing
Goals, frosted with clean-burnt white ashes.
The sides and bottom Of the trench were
heated almost 10 red heat Then the quar-
tered beef and the whole sheep and pigs were
placed on TO cook. Each piece-there were
seven carcasses of beef, ten of sheep, and ten
OF pork placed on at once--was spitted with
rods OF iron, the ends of which rested on
either bank of the trench. Each piece, too,
was seasoned with coating OF salt and pep
per, and basted at each turning. The ''bast-
ing was contained In kettle over an ad-
joining FIRE, aud consisted of melted butter
seasoned with care by the chief. The chief,
with small mop and can of basting, moved
from spit TO spit, and, with the confidence of
long experience, moisteped the rich-smelling
sides of the browning carcssses with the care
that an artis. applies the finishing touches to
his exhibition picture. His assistants turned
the spiis, or with small broom sprinkled
water on the Goals beneath the pieces which
were browning too fast. This process con-
tinueu f.om six o'clock in the morning until
noon, when the chief turned over his charge
to the car veis. They demonstrated the re-
suit TO be pc iectIy cooked meats, not drop
OF whose juices had escaped-tender, rich
favored, uDsurpassable.

Death of Captain Frye, of the Old Ninth

Death of Captain Frye, of the Old Ninth
 Conn. Vols.
 Major Frederick Frye, formerly of this city, died suddenly in New Orleans Wednes- day afternoon. He was engaged in superin- tending work upon his residence in the Sixth district, when he was overcome by the heat and lay down. He grew rapidly worse and died in a short time. Major Frye had been for long time in poor health from disease contracted in the army and his feeble condi- tion rendered him less able to endure expo sure, and undoubtedly precipitated the event. He was son of the late Daniel M. Frye, of New York city, and was the last of 8 race of citizen soldiers who had taken active and honorable part in the wars of the last cen tury and half in this country. At the breaking out of the late war Major Frye was practising law in Bridgeport in company with General W. H. Noble He imme- diately enlisted, serving as captain in the Third Connecticut Volunteers through | the first campaign and afterwards raising a company for the Ninth regiment with which he served as captain and major. He served 1 with honor through the war and at it's close settled in New Orleans, where he resumed the practice of law, being at one time justice of the Sixth district of that city. Failing health at length compelled him to aban- don the profession, and at the time of his | last visit to this city it was evident that he could not much longer hold out Major Frye | was 8 man of culture and attainments, of manly character and genial disposition and was greatly beloved by his many friends. He was member of the society of the Cinoin- nati and preserved unsullied the enviable
 record of his ancestors. He married daugh-
 ter of the late Benjamin Brooks of this city,
 who survives him, with two daughters, Mrs. 1 G. C. Waldo of Bridgeport, and Mrs. J. w. Hillman of Hope Villa, Louisiana. He was ffty-seven years of age and was brother-in- law of General W. H. Noble and of the late Hanford Lyon of this city.-B1Tdgepor1 l ,Cf0nG7D1.T

An Elegant Toilet Preparation.

Hair dressing and restorative is to be found in LONDON HAIR COLOR REsToRER. It seldom fails to restore gray or faded hair to it's orig inal youthful color and beauty. Falling hair is checked by it's use, and it produces a growth of beautiful young hair, soft, glossy and luxuriant. It certainly is the most cleanly and effective hair restorer now before the American people. A. A. Gibson, Barry town, Duchess county, N. Y., writes: Dr. Swayne & Son, Philadelphia, Gents II en- close a postofice order for eight dollars j; please send me one dozen London Hair Color Restorer." It has stopped my hair from falling and restored it to it's natural col or It has proven satisfactory in every re- pect.

Fairfield TOnbS,

The project of renovating the ancient burial ground in Fairfield village meets with the favor of the townspeople, and there is some prospect that general renovation will take place, as many of the tombs are fast falling into decay and the inscriptions fast becoming illegible. Some of the ancient stones erected to benefactors of the town lie knocking around in the enclosure. It is pro- posed to place them in the ancient spot as yet sacred from the iron wheels of progress whether of locomotive or plough. They will have prominent mention on the Sth of July, on which day public exercises in refer ence to the old ground will take place. Pro- lessor B. Silliman, of Yale College, thus writes to the committee who are preparing for the old burial ground exercises: Tt will give me much satisfaction to be present on the centennial anniversary and to con- tribute my mite and my full sympathy in the pious work of rebuilding the tombs' of our ancestors"

 Sometime on Wednesday night the drug store in Derby of Mir. George A. Whitmore, the druggist on Park street, corner of South street in this city, was broken into. The store is in the postofice building in Derby. Entrance was effected through the back door, the lock and latch having been broken. No goods were taken, but $2O were taken from the money drawer. Mir. Whitmore took the store about three months ago, and this was the first night when money had been left in the drawer over night. The burglars drilled a large hole in the safe of the postofice, but evidently abandoned the task and went for the money drawer. They left no traces whereby they could be tracked.
