LATE JUDGE MoNCURE In the eulogy
which Judge Christian recently delivered
before the Court in Richmond on the life
and character of this eminent jurist and
pure and able judge, he related the follow
ing interview with him short time be-
fore he died. As Judge Z. was leaving
his room Judge Moncure said to him:
Farewell, my dear old friend, we shall
never meet again on this earth; you have
sat by my side for seventeen years on ths
bench OF the District Court and the Court
OF Appeals. All that time we have been
fast frieHds, we have tried to do our duty
in the most trying and difficult period in
history of our state. You see me now a
dying man; l have 10 fear of death; long
to be at rest. l can be no longer of any
service to my family or to my State and
am ready to 60. l wish l could die now
while you are standing by my bedside and
no ding my hand. My affairs in this life
are now all closed, and long to enter up
on the immortal life. There is only one
thing that now disturbs me. l fear I am
shining against our Heavenly Father by
my Impotence to 60 at once to my eternal
rest.'
These we're the last words heard him
utter, and l deliver them to you to show
how great and good man can meet his
death.
He served his country well. He died,
wept aid hOnOred by whole Common
wealth,
"And now he wears truer crown
Ihan any wreath that man can weave him."

A Magnetic Bean.
MYSTERY THAT THE JOHN HOPKINS
sAvANS WERE UNABLE TO SOLVE.

A few days ago, M rs. VIM. T. Dickinson,
residing at No. so st. Paul street. received
from Mr.. VIM. Hunter, Second Assistant
United States Secretary of State, residing
in Georgetown, D. g., small box con-
tanning Mexican bean. Accompanying
when exposed to the light would move as
though possessed of animal life. Last
evening Mrs. Dickinson determined to
test its magnetic properties, and in the
presence of a number of friends, including
q represen 'ative of the Day" placed the
bean on the blank side of sheet of music,
which rested on the parlor mantel. In a
few moments it began to move, slowly at
first, and finally skipped from one side Of
the sheet to the other and turned over. A
little later it made another jump and
moved nimbly across the paper. The an
tics of the bean we're watched by the as
sembled group as it skipped across the pa
per. Finally it was suggested that the
movement was caused by heat from the
stove, and the sheet IF music was removed
to another part of the room When the same
curious manifestations were repeated
Mrs. Dickinson stated that she had shown
the bean to a number of persons, includ-
ing several scientific gentlemen, none of
whom could offer an explanation of the
phenomenal antics of the little PARTICLE
Among others tn whom it was sent for ex-
animation was DR.. VIM. Fl Carpenter who
Is delivering a serious of lectures on Morse
literature at the John Hopkins University
He studied closely the curious manifesto
tions, and after consultation with several
of the learned faculty of the institution
returned it to Mrs Dickinson, declaring
his inability co offer any solution of the
phenomenon. The bean is about the size
Of large grain of Java coffee and very
closely resembles the latter when parchr d.
When exposed to light it sometimes re-
mains stationary for several minutes and
then appears to be suddenly endowed with
physical life and moves away either slowly
or rapidly Baltimore DAY..

The Virginia Conference.

The Virginia Conference is composed in
the main of men of fine physique, and their
personal appearance is very striking
There are some 2l0 ministers in the Con-
ference, a large percentage of whom were
in attendance on the Conference Thurs
day.
First and foremost in the list is the ven
cradle Bishop Pierce, the presiding officer
of the Conference and the one Bishop OF
all others whom the Virginia Methodists
delight to honor. He is now about sew
enty-two years of age, but his mental fac
ulties are still vigorous and healthy, and
he makes an excellent presiding officer
The Bishop is still quite handsome man.
with classic face 10 which every feature
is prominent and well defined. His eye is
as bright as ever, and he still has full
suit of hair. The expression of his face
shows determination and will. and We. it
is as amiable as woman's. Bishop Pierce
is a son of the late venerable DR.. Lovick
Pierce, who was one of the founders Of
Methodism in the South. He was born in
Green county, Georgia, February 3, 1911,
and first thought of choosing law as pro-
fession. but entered the ministry instead
and was made bishop by the General Con-
ference in Columbus, Georgia. in 1854, be-
ing the Youngest bishop ever elected. He
was in 1888 elected president of che Geor-
gia Female College (now Wesleyan. He
subsequently edited THE Southern La
dy's Book" and is also author of ''Inci
dents of Western Travel" In 1S48 he
was elected president of Emory College,
Georgia, and continued in that position
until elected bishop in 1854. He is one of
the most eloquent dvines in the Metho-
dist pulpit and his preaching was very eff
fective until he lost his voice s,me four
years ago, since whict. time he has not
been able to pr ach much. Sad misfor-
tune that and particularly SO since his
sweet and musical voice was one of the
special charms of his preaching. The
Bishop has promised to preach for us du-
rig the session of the Conference, if DOS
sible.
AN INCIDENT.
During the morning session, DR.. J. J.
Laferty made one of his humorous speech
es, ami during the course of his remarks
made use OF some expression which Rev.
John b. Dey did not think as reverential
as it should be. He accordingly arose and
rebuked DR.. Lafferty for his levity on Sd.
cred matters and used term to charac
terize his action which seemed to DR.. Laf-
ferty to be harsh, and his feelings we're 80
much hurt that he wept. Dir. Blpdsne
Bledsoe arose in behalf of Dr. Lafferty.
and said he thought the rebuke was I'M
called for, In which remark the Conference
concurred. Mr.. Dev then offered an ex-
PLANTATION, saving that he had no intention
OF woundiDg DR.. I4afferty's feelings, and
the two ministers publicly embraced. The
incident eated considerable furry in the
Conference at the time, but its conclusion
was touching and ChriStiaE-like Norfolk

ANOTHER VAR FOR EUROPE.

The news that Austria is preparing for
war with Russia com es like clap of thun-
der from the peaceful but leaden-clouded
sky of Europe. On Thursday last at the
sitting of the Pesth parliament, the COM
mlttee on the Foreign Office Appropria-
ton made their report. and with it ex-
pressed the conviction that war with
Russia was, sooner or later, inevitable
To value the gravity of this, we must re-
member that, Austria has three parlia-
ments, one, the Reichsrath, which meets at
the capital of Hungary; another, the Reich
stag. which meets at Vienna, and the
third, which is composed of sixty mem
bers, chosen from the other two. It is
this last and superior body in which the
ominous report has been made. The an
nouncement that Russia has just coDclud-
ed new loan of forty millions of dollars,
would indicate that Austria has not been
premature in her preparations.
Those of us whose education was begun
in the old times of Mitchell's map can still
remember the little fringe of States that
divided Hungary from Turkey, their hard
names. Sclavonia, Banat, and the like
and their mixed populations Still later
on, Turkey had been reduced by another
slice, and the little States that made the
separation made chain of three links

Austria. and erecting Bulg aria and Rou-

new and latest partition was made, the
Russo-Turkish war had just ended, and
the troops of the Gar were in Consran-

The less determined to have it.
The Heterogeneous population of the Aus

Sclave, and are in sympathy with Russia,
where the most popular national idea is to
have union Of all the Sclavic race under
one government. 1t is this idea which
makes the ruler who will war on Turkey,
so popular with the masses of Russia, no
matter how despotic he may be. 1t is the
prevalence of this idea which makes the
independent States on the border more of
a menace than barrier to Austria, for
Rusglan intrigue is ceaseless in stirring up
these octave populations. Bulgaria and
Montenegro are now little less than Rus
sian dependencies, and the emissaries of
the Car lately stirred up the Bosnians

Rumor has it that General George Tous-
saint Beauregard is about to marry Mrs.
Cornelius Vanderbilt, the widow of the
late Commodore.
Gen. Beau!egard is handsome, shapely,
vigorous, and were it not for his gray hair
and white moustache his ruddy, cheerful
face would lead you to forget that he has
been in active life for forty years; has lost
two wives. and has two married children
living. He is MT only of attractive ap-
pearance, but as well a polished, brilliant,
accomplished man of the world, and pop
ular witha. Mrs. Vanderbilt, was the
belle of Mobile, while still very young,
year or two before the war. She was mt
considered very beautiful. but was praised
as handsome" ''stylish,' ''attIactive."
Her family and that of the late Commo-
dore Vanderbilt seem to have been ac-
auainted then; probably Lieut.. Beaure-
gard was also If her friends. Atany rate
both Vanderbilt and Beauregard had to
wait. She first married Mr.. w. Ii Elliott,
New Orleans lawyer. Their married
life was unhappy, and after year or two
they separated with the assistance of the
courts. Tradition has it that during the
war Mrs. Elliott supported herself aud
mother 10y giving music lessons. Another
legend. equally as haZy, is that during
tllS pGllOu COIQmOutT6 duu6TDtG COLI
trlbuted to their support. Be tins as it
may, after the war Mrs. Elliot and her
mother came North, and after the death
of the first Mrs. Vanderbilt the Com
modore married Mrs. Elliott, and when be
died he left her something like $500 600
500 600 for each year of their married
life. as some one has said. Possessed of
fine house, comfortable income and con
genial friends, this attractive matron,"
still as charming tits said, as when fancy
free" has lived very happily for year or
two, mot troubling her handsome head very
much with the squabbles of her step-sons
and daughters. Mrs. Vanderbilt, like
the Commodore, adrnires the Rev. DR..
Deems of the Church of the Strangers,
New Y ork city. Vanderbilt University,
Tennessee. probably owes its presence 10
be world to the alpeals made by Dr.
Deems and Mrs. Vanderbilt to the Com
modore; and so. of urse, she is good
Methodist. and sits under the dropplngs
of the good old div:ne's curousiy nsmed
sanctuary, It is to be presnmtd t. Geis-
eral Beaure gard belongs to the Roman
Catholic Church. ashiuqtop Capitol.
