THE N DlNIEL CASE,
Rev. Mr.. Daniel at 1.-THE First Pres
byterian Church Last Night.

After reading what was published
IN Sundays Appeal as to the action Of
the Memphis Synod and Memphis
Presbytery, Mr.. Daniel said:
Now on the basis of this record [
wish to offer q few remarks.
]. As to the relation Of Dir. Long
TO the Presbyterian ministers in this
city. He stands with respect to US
precisely as does any other minister
not Of u own connection. He is
entitled TO all the courtesy extended
TO any other minister of the gospel by
his brethren; and whenever he shall
choose tovisit the First Presbyterian
Church, so far as | am concerned, be
shall receive as cordial a welcome to
this pulpit as would be extended to
any other minister in this city.
2. AS to the relation Of bis church
to the OILERS here. 1t Is simply one
Of our sister churches. tits our duty
TO extend to it the hand Of fellowship.
We should not only refrain from say.
ing or doing anything which might
impede its progress, but We should
hold ourselves bound TO pray for it.
and 10 co operate with it 10 all its work
for our common Lord and Master.
3. As to Mr.. Longs relation TO
myself. After the action taken BY
our P~resbytery, | visited him at his
room and we had a conversation. |
think we now understand each other
fully, and | believe We see eye 10 eye
and feel heart TO heart.
4 Finally. | wish it distinctly
understood that so far as l I'M con.
cerned this matter is now harmoni.
ously settled, and from this time for
ward you will never hear from me a
note Of opposition to Mr. Long or his
work. And | earnestly eDjoin every
member Of this church not TO let his
feeling Of personal kindness toward
me influence him to say anything
unoharitable either OF him or Of his
congregation. Whenever, consistently
with your duty TO your own church,
you are moved to worship a. the
Strangers Church and TO hear Mr..
Long preach, go-and the blessing Of
God 70 with youl Let us rejoice that
this disagreement is At an end; let us
here put a stop TO all contention, and
let US unitedly and vigorously push
forward the work OF the worlds Re.

The COrOnsr's sunday Business.

The County Coroner, Esquire Spell
man, was summoned no less than three
times yesterday to perform the func-
tons Of his Office upon the bodies of as
many unfortunates. About z o'clock
in the morning he held an inquest
upon the body Of John Laraash, the
unfortunate carpenter who fell from
the wheel of the steamer Carrier last
Wednesday. The body was discovered
floating on the surface Of the water by
a skifman near the foot of Beal street,
early yesterday morning, and taken to
the bank. A bruiso was discovered on
the bridge Of his nose, which was said
by a witness to have been made by the
plank upon which the unfortunate man
stood, and which slipped from under
bis feet and struck him as he fell.
-Four dollars in money and a watch
were found on his person, and were
taken charge of by the Coroner. The
body was inferred in Elmwood by
Captain AID. Storm. Acting upon a
rumor that the engineer of the steamer
had thrown the man of by turning the
wheel, the Coroner visited the hospital
and took the deposition of a man who
was said to have been a witness. He
denied all knowledge of such a trans
action.
A. D. MOONEY,
who had been picked up on the street
the niuht previous in the throes Of a
CONFUSION and taken to the station
house, was found dead in his cell by
Turnkey Hedrick about s o'clock in
the morning. He lay on his back on
the floor with his white face upturned
but with his body in an easy position
as if death had come to him in sleep.
Physicians who had been summoned
the night before discovered a bruise
near n eye and one on the back of
the head, made by his falling upon the
pavement. He was visited frequently
during the night by the turnkey after
the doctors went away, and at 4
o'clock, when the last visit was made,
seemed to be resting easily upon his
bunk. The Coroner's verdict was
that his death was caused by epilepsy,
The body will be shipped to Helena,
Ark, to day at the request of Marshal
Mooney, OF that place, WHO'S a brother
Of the Diseased, and at which place
he lived.
UNKNOWN.
About ten o'clock yesterday morn
ing a man was noticed sitting under a
tree on Walker avenue, about a mile
south Of the city, and two hours later
be was found dead under the tree
with an empty vial labeled ''strych-
MIA" on his side. He had in his
pockets q red and a blue silk hand
kerchief, two pairs OF Spectacles and a
pair Of razors. He was apparently an
American, about fifty FIVE years Of
age, and gray haired. He was neatly
dressed in a suit Of blue cloth, gaitep
shoes and a dark straw hat. His re-
mains we're turned over to the county
undertaken for interment, No clue
has yet been discovered to his identity.

Forcing Rhubarb .

Outside of places where there are profession
al gardeners, the forcing OF vegetables is very
little known IN this country. People in gen
eral are content with things IN their season.
and do not trouble themselves to force or re-
tard. Perhaps the easiest vegetable to force is
rhubarb, and by taking a little trouble, ma
terlal for pies and sauce may be had some
weeks in advance of the supply from the open
ground. The things needed are clumps OF
rhubarb roots, soil and a dark, WARM place.
The roots should be dug before the ground
freezes. AS fine rhubarb as we ever saw was
forced in barrel or cask; the roots, packed
IN on layer Of soil and surrounded by it, the
cask covered tight, and set near the furnace IN
the cellar. A box to hold the roots, and set
in a cupboard or closet in the kitchen will an
swer; or box or barrel may be placed IN the
kitchen. Keep moderately warm, and see that
the roots are sufficiently moist A few roots
will give an astonishingly abundant supply,
much more tender and crisp and less violently
sour than the outdoor crop.-.1mericdH Agri.

The second baby elephant ever born in cap

birthplace IN Bridgeport, Conn, and though
only few hours old, it had developed to an
extraordinary degree. 1t was born the night
before at O'Clock under the most favorable
conditions IN the middle of a ring where there
were one hundred men and twenty elephants.
The elephants munched hay with indifference
and betrayed emotion only when the little
stranger WAS able to stand on his legs. Then

The ravages of the phylloXera in France
have induced the agrCulturlsts Of that coun-
try to look for another wine producing plant,
and NJ Auguste Deleuil, member Of the Agri'
cultural Society of France, announces that this
plant has at last been found. He says: "ltis
a variety of red beetroot, unrivaled IN the
whole world for its Incompatible qualities,
which will IN time replace all that we have
lost IN the vine. Beetroot produces alcohol of
superior qualify; why, then, should not Its
pulp treated like the must of the grape, pro-
duce an equally luscious beverage? In fact
this has been done; the very sweet red beet
root produces by fermentation wine quite as
good as many of the s0i-disat wines of our
southern vineyards. 1t possesses the addi-
tional advantage of accommodating itself to
all soils, and flOurIshes in most climates. With
the view of popuarizlng this plant, the propq-
gator places himself gratituously at the dispo-
sitIon of agriculturists to furnish them with
the seeds they may require" Application can
be made to NJ. Auguste Deleull Agronome, a
Gardanne, pres Marseilles, France.
