Episcopal BishO p Jaggar, of Ohio
is very severe on church fairs an(
the social entertainments which are
held for the purpose of raising mon
sy for religious and benevolent
causes. His lsnten pastoral letter
intimates that the social enter tain.
ment is apt to degenerate into dan
cling parties, which dissipate spirit
uality and destroy the influence OIL
the church. The bishop says that
these methods have 80 lowered the
standard of charity that young peo-
pie in the churches will not do any
work for Christ unless it is served
up with some such excitement as a
dance, a sale or a show. He says
that the ne cessity for these objec
tionable means Of raising money
arises from the pressure
o. a debt which ought not to exist,
. else from the desire for such lux
uries as fancy choirs or show church
furniture, which are not needed.

So sudden is the iise in the elevation

most singular method OF detour, aud BY
the loop which forces the railroad to
describe a circle, return to the place

II began to detour. The elevation TO
be overcome was 265 feet. BY circling

redoubled energy, now that Malone
has thrown of the mask. here is
no longer any room for misunder-
standing or self deluslon. Mahone's
mission is to destroy the Demo

who go with him are committed TO
that course, and none other. The
Democracy need only to avoid Civ

on, and none other, IS Virginia
Democracy against Mahone's Re
publicanism.
The Republican party has moth

who have bought Malone in Wash

Mahone.

We have reached the loves
point Of degradation, For the frs
time in the history of Virginia
Virginian senator has been elected
by one party and upon one theory
and has joined the other party ant
helped the other theory. Virgins
owes gratitude and will pay thu
debt to Senator Hill, of Georgia,
who begged the Virginian senator
not to dishonor Virginia, and not
to fall into that gulf Of infamy
devised for him by Conkling, Cor
ham, and the Grant gang.
In that year's election Of that
Legislature which elected him SEN
ator Malone left no stone unturn-
ed in his effort to prove that he was
a Democrar, and would always be a
Democrat in national politics. His
friends proclaimed this upon every
stump; his newspapers published
it from day to day; in private inter-
views he avowed it over and over,
and Virginia sees with an amaze
ment greater than that of the Geor-
gia senator that he uses the COM
mission given him by one party in
order to serve for his own purposes
the other party.
And in fact, Virginia claps her
hands when Hill. Of Georgia, be-
comes her champion IN the Senate
of the United States, and shakes
Malone as a terrier dog shakes
rat. Virginians remember their own
history if Malone forgets it; and
when he went 10 the Senate not a
few Virginians, and among them the
writer of these lines, but he denied
with emphasis and anger the
assertion that Malone should prove
a traitor.
But he has made his bed, and
the Unitod States, including both
parties and both races north and
south, cast and west, know how he
made it and guess why he made it.

File rec Storm I'm the Northwest

ST. LOUIS. No., March 49,
| The heaviest storm of the winter
has prevailed here all day, with a
strong, driving wind from tn west,
but the snow melted as fast as it
fell The streets tonight are filled
with slush in some places several
inches deep. Dispatches from diff
erent parts Of the State say that the
heaviest snow Of the season has
fallen since last night, especially in
that part Of the State north Of the
Missouri river. The average depth
OF the snow is over foot, but in
some places two feet deep. Rail-
road travel is good deal impeded
and business suffering, but no train
has been reported abandoned. The
snow will probably disappear in
two or three days and treshets in the
small streams may be expected.
MILWAUKEE, March ia ter
rible Snow storm has ragged since an
carly hour this morning. This is
the worst storm of the season. On
account Of the snow being so heavy
with moisture and high winds tele-
graph wires are down in some pla
ces and railroads are certain to be
blocked. The storm today is the
worst Of the entire season. Very
high wind prevails, and the snow
is very heavy. All railroad trains
are blocked and street car lines
stopped, and business generally is
suspended.
MADISON, Wis, March ia
severe snow storm, with a brisk
northeast wind, set in this morning.
The snow is drifting badly. No
snow is reported north of here. but
the storm extends pretty generally
through the southern portion Of the
State.
QUINCY, ILL, March 19.-The
heaviest snow-storm Of the season
began here last night, and up to
now at least a foot Of snow had fall
len. 1t is badly drifted. Business
is almost entirely suspended.
Fort SCOTT, Kan, March 49,
A storm from the northwest set in
here yesterday afternoon, bringing
with it heavy snow, which is twelve
inches deep on the ground this
morning.
