Lord Chief Justice Coleridge is rather
loosely and slenderly built man, about six
feet in height His face is clean shaven
strikingly rudy as to complexion, and the
finely cut features and mobile mouth, though
markedly stern when in the condition of re-
pose, soften and assume an amiable express
sion when lit up by his frequent smiles.
His enunciation is clear and distince, he
speaks slowly, as if weighing and consider
ing every word, and he has habit OF stoop-
ing his head forward from the shoulders
when conversing. Sir James Hammer and
Messrs. Martin and Russell are all three
short, stout and thickset, and betray their
nationality and even their profession at nrst
glance In their clean-shaven, freshly-colored
faces and sharp, decisive mode OF address.
Young Mr.. Coleridge is a pleasant-faced
youth, bearing strong resemblance to his
father both in features and his pleasant
voice.

There seems to be in some quarters pet
ty and impotent spite against the evangelists,
Moody and Sankey, which finds vent in set
ting afloat miserable ISLANDERS, such as that
they have used their opportunities for mere
money-making, that they have quarrele0 and
severed their associations, etc. Mr. Moody
has been obliged once again to publish
statement saying that they are in entire har-
mony, and if their lives are spared will con-
tinue to labor together, and that during the
10 years OF their o-working Mr.. Sankey has
not acted as agent for any organ company

ought to be well known also that they have
not made money out. of the hymn-books
which are so popular, but that the proceeds
OF their sales have all been devoted to rellg-
ious and benevolent purposes. Mr.. Moody

they who minister at the altar shall live by
the altar, but he lives modestly, and does
good, and ought to be exempt from these
vile endeayors to injure his reputation and
bis work.-Springfield Republican.

well remember an agreeable afternoon passed
at Potsdam, when the company could not
be restrained by any reference to the pro-
hibitory order, but insisted on trying wheth-
er they were unable to persuade the gate
keeper or other officials to grant them an
entrance into the park. The keeper was
deaf to our entreaties, but finally suggested
that we should send our card to the adiu-
tant on duty, with formal request to make
an exception to the general rule. Our So
licitations were not fruitless, for the gates
we're not only opened, but a servant arrived
with a permit for walk through the castle.
We greatly enjoyed the privilege accorded
us, and were rather taken aback when on
coming to the Emperor's study the servant
said Ethat his Majesty would leave his
work for short time in order to allow us
| glimpse of this historical chamber. The
room. affording beautiful view over the
| grounds of the park and the more distant
scenery of Potsdam, impressed us with such
awe that scarcely word was spoken, and
every one seemed deeply imbued with the
feeling of gratitude to the Emperor for his
| disregardlof personal comfort in favor of per-
feet strangers"
