THE HOOD ORPHANS
tits most gratifying to learn. as the public do
from Mrs. Harding's recent letter, that the
Hood orphans are ell well provided for, the
most OF them having been adopted into fami-
ing reared with every possible advantage for
mental, moral and physical culture It is not
improbable that the children not yet adopt
ed may receive handsome sum of money
from the General Government in exchange for
their deceased fathers war reports. In a pri-
vate letter to me, written some months ago.
Gen. VIM. Sherman says: During a visit to
new orleans over three years ago, General
Hood was extremely polite to me and my two
daughters, Lizzie and Ely. He publicly at

REV. DR. HAYGooD.
An exchange announces the proposed ap-
polntment of Rev DIR. A. G. Haygood as Gene
raj Agent of the Slater Functional Fund and
asks: Does that account for his declining to
become Bishop of the Methodist church,"
reply that it does rot When the election
for Bishops occurred the Slater Fund was in a
very indefinite condition, and Rev. Dr. Hay-
good could have had nc knowledge of its
future status. He declined to be a Bishop
simply because it was due Mr.. George Seney
that he should remain at Emory College until
perly applied for building up the institution.
and putting it on q firm basis.
-Four years ago, had an election been held,
Rev. DR.. Haygood would have been chosen a
Bishop, as the same men were elected this wear
that were then spoken of most confidently
Nor would he have declined. Four years hence,
should he be alive and another Bishop be
needed, he will again be chosen, and will
accept. "Nolo episcopari" cannot be written
across the brow of every man who declines a
Bishopric. He simply, it may be, desires a

am frank to say that did not believe the
General Conference would elect the Rev DR.
Haygood this year because of the severe at
tack made upon his book, "Our Brother in
Black, by the papers and preachers of the
Southern Methods Church. But 1 with many
others, was mistaken. The Conference by its
action vindica cd and indorsed his position
however much some leading spirits differed
with him. 1t was due him, perhaps, chat he
should be thus vindicated, although crcum-
stances then prevented his acceptance of the |
honor conferred
