Chancellor A. P. Stewart-A Christian
Soldier.

Western Methodist
While the life of the soldier is not usually
promotive of conversions to Christ, there
seems to be something in military discipline
favorable to the development of the highest
type of piety in the few believers who con
quer the foes to spiritual life which abound
in the camp and field. Thus Jesus found
in the Roman centurion greater faith than
he had found in Israel, and this officer
himself ascribed his extraordinary faith to
his military habits. The seraphc ardor of
Havelock glows with pure flame which
outshines the glory of his victories. We
recently called the attention of our readers
to a letter from one of our Federal major
generals to Dr. ID. Steele, in which he avows
strong sympathy with the doctrine of
Christian perfection and an earnest aspira-
ton for its experience. There now lies on
our desk a letter to DR.. Steele from dis
tinguished major-general of the Confederate
army, the corps-commander who succeeded
General( Bishop Polk, Alexander p. Stewart,
Chancellor of the University of Mississippi
He writes to DIR. s. that he found this ex-
perience specially encouraging and hopeful
to him "while seeking the fullness of bless
ing" Though educated at the military
academy, college professor for many years

G. Association among our students. Last
Sabbath endeavored to point out to them
that the great living, divine power of the
Gospel is the Holy Spirit, and how they
may come into the enjoyment of the fullness
of His presence and blessing" What an
augury of good to our Republic and to the
whole world would it be, if all our College
Presidents were as faithfully applying the
saving truths of the gospel to the hearts of
the thousands of young men in our colleges
and universitiesi This epistle, so fraught
with evangelical sentiments, and so encourage
ing to all believers in Jesus Christ and to all
lovers of the American Union, closes thus
"With an earnest prayer for the restoration
of peace, harmony and love among all sec
lions of our country, which ought to be
land and especially that all
Christians, North and South, may be one
in Christ Jesus, and filled with the Holy
Spirit p'-Zion's Herald.
Wehave long known Liet. Gen. Stewart,
both in peace and war, and we knew his
father also-a faithful Methodist of the old

highest esteem as an exemplar of Christians
ity as it should be among the laity. Happy
is Mississippi in having Christian man of

American Women
THEIR INTELLECTUAL ACTIVITY SEEN
THROUGH ENGLISH sPECTACLEs.

London Daily Telegraph.
1t is at once curious and gratifying to
remark that while agitation, in its We
hement and shrieking aspect of womans
rights, seems latterly to have been
rather diminishing than increasing in
the United States, the organization of
sensible and practical females for pur-
poses of mutual aid, encouragement and
instruction is daily growing in area and
influence. The Women's Education
Association at Boston has organized the
Harvard Examination for Women,
comprising diet kitchens, nurses train
ing and cooking schools, and botanical
lectures. To this excellent system is
also due the Chemical Laboratory for
Women in connection with the Massa-
chusetts chronological Institute, where
the pupils can become practical chemists,
analysts, dyers and assayers. The
female school at Boston for modelling
clay and wax and wood carving is said
to be unique.
A girl may graduate there not only as
a sculptor or plastic decorator, but as
a plasterer, house painter, a pattern
designer, marble mason or q carver.
She may follow every step in the pro-
cesses, from the manipulation of the
clay to the production Of casts in plas-
ter and gelatine, and the final carving
of the object of fine art in stone or
wood. Similar organizations of women
for the study of practical sociology and |
the technics of art are in prosperous
operation at Philadelphia and Cincinnati. |
The movement is beginning to spread /
to the wonderfully energetic city of
Chicago, whence it will doubtless and
rapidly extend itself throughout the
great West, even to the Pacific coast. +
San Francisco has an Academy +
Of Design, to the periodical exhibitions
Of which the women Of California are .
prominent contributors. 1t may be I
limited that in case of ladies studying
the antique it is no longer considered /
that the Apollo Belvidere
should be apparelled in knickerbockers
or the Venus of the Capitol in water
proof ulster.

When the moon brought out her light,
And ny loving mother whispered to me,
Don't drink, my boy, tonight

And will not pass away.

I've often passed the cup,
Oh then my heart was right,
Because | heard the warning words,
Don't drink, my boy, tonight
I've now passed down the road of life,
And soon my race is run;
A mothers warning listened to,
An immortal crown is won.

Look on your boys so bright,
And say, as you alone can say,
Don drink, my boy, tonight.
Those words will prove a warning, when,
In the thorny path oflife.

And wearing in the strife.

And revelry at night,
By whispering back mothers voice,
Don't drink, my boy, tonight

The Man Who Returned After Forty
Years. Absence.
Brookly Eagle.]

Brookly Eagle
Elizabeth Virgins, wife of Henry
Virgins, died last year intestate, leav-
ing a large estate. After some time
had elapsed, Henry Philips, claiming to
be the husband of the deceased lady,
and DIR. Howard Philips, her son, re-
nounced in favor of the public admins
traitor.
Henry Virgins then applied for let
tiers of administration on the estate of
the lady, whom he claimed to be his
wife, to whom he was married nearly
twenty-five years ago, and by whom he
has two children. Mrs. Virgins was
the daughter of Whitehead Howard, an
old-time livery stable keeper of this city.
She was married to Henry Philips
about forty years ago, and after the
birth of several children he disappeared.
Until last year, when his wife died, he
never turned up-at least it is so alleg-
ed by her friends. He says that after
his departure from his wife and family,
he sent them money, but that his let
tiers ware stopped by his wife's mother.
When he finally returned, having be-
come successful in business, he found
his wife married to another man, and
departed in great sorrow. At first it
was alleged that the Henry Philips who
appeared in this city, as recorded In the
Eagle months ago, was an impostor,
procured for the purpose of disturbing
the rights of Mrs. Virgins children.
Several months, however, have elapsed,
and no attempt has been made to dis
prove Mr.. Philips claim. The result,
in fact, shows that be is actually the
person whom he i represented to be
the first and lawful husband Of Mrs.
Virgins, and the father of DIR. Howard
Philips. Of this city. The parties On
both sides have come to an agreement
and fhs matter hns been amfoahly SET
tied.

is a question of fact not determlnabie on

have done 50 by plea or answer. On an

shown that process was issued and served.
Indeed the record shows that demurrer OF

The Devotion of a Fatthless Wife.
From the Sacramento Union

Nicholas Bonifas' wife deserted him
and went to San Francisco, where she
married again. He followed and begged
her to return to him and their children.
She refused. They had final inter-
view In her house, and it ended with
his shooting her four times. Neighhors
ran in on hearing the reports, and found
her alone. She was in mortal agony,
and was told by the doctor that she
could not possibly recover. They asked
who had shot her, 81 don't know she
replied she was a a'stranger-I never
saw him before. But her effort to
shield the murderer was useless, for his
body was soon found IN the back yard,
where be bad killed himself.
