from this church was organized into the
Third Presbyt riau Church OF Memphis, cit
uated in Chelsea, in the northern part OF the
city. A similar colony in the year
1868 constituted tae Alabama street
church, under the ministerial charge
OF the Rev. J. o. Steadmau, DID. The
bouss of worship built in the year 1884
remained in use until 1855, al which time
the congregation resolved to erect the build
ing which was burned on Sunday night.
The vol began in 1852, was completed in
1854, and on he 30ih Of November IN that
year the lately burned house of worship was
| solemnly dedicated 10 Almighty God, the
Rev. J. o. Sieadmap, DID,, conducting the
| services, sssisted by the Rev. K. X. Evans
and tue Rev. d. L. Gray. 1t may be in
| order 10 mention ~ part OF this history
that the General Assembly of the Southern
Presbyterisn Church held it, sessions in this
city in the year 1866, convening in the First
| Presbyterian church. In the autumn OF
| 1873 the yellou-feyer prevailed 80 an cpl
demie in the city OF Memphis. The First
Presbyterian church, whose congregation was
81 usted in the district infected, sustained
| many sad losses in the death OF its
| m: nbers and Office bearers. Among those
who succumbed TO the disease, may be
| mentioned the names OF Mr.. james II.
Conneli, a deacon, the Hon. j. i. Svsyne, a
ruling elder, and the Rev. F. H. Bowman the
well-beloved pastor. While the funeral SER
vicss Of Mr.. Bowman were IN progress 10
Elm wood Cemetery, the ceiling OF the house
of worship fell, mas OF rubbish, csusiog
great damage 10 the audieDce-ro and
pews. This necessitated an expenditure oil
| $4,000.
IR1S7S the present pastor, the Rev. Eugene
Daniel was stricken with the yellow fever,
as was also his excellent wife. Both oil
them narrowly escaped death. Mr.. Daniels
| bravery during the trying epidemic OF two
| years had doubly endeared him TO bis con-
grega;ion.
When Mr.. Daniel entered upon his min
| istTy, the members of the hurch numbered
only 1863; now they are fully 800. This is
an encouraging sign OF growth. One OF the
peculiar circumstances OF the disaster is tn al
on Sunday morning Mr.. Daniel preached his
| annual sermon, in which he gratefully and
| beautifully. alluded to the increase NJ sde by
the church in its good work. The congrega'
| ton entered fully into the hopeful spirit o.
| its pastor and the future OF the church
seemed full OF promise Of good results.
| The most imposing event probably in thu
history of the church was the funeral of ex

Appeals to the Federal Supreme Court.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-In the United
States Supreme Court to-day in the case
of John c. Tinsley, plaintiff in error, VS..
the Commonwealth of Virginia, on mo-
tion of Mr.. F. S. Blair, Attorney General
of Virginia, the appeal Twas dismissed with
costs, pursuant to the sixteenth rule.
Tinsley, the plaintiff in error in this
case, who is cOlOred man, was tried and
convicted in one of the State courts of
Virginia for marrying a white woman
contrary to the law of that State, which
prohibits the intermarriage of white and
black persons. He brought the case upon
a writ of error. with the intention of test
ing the cOnstitutiOnality of the Virginia
law, but when the case was called
this afternoon he virtually allowed
1t to go against him by
default, having taken no steps to procure
an appeal. An explanation of his apparent
neglect may perhaps be found in the fact
that the court now has under consider
alton case from Alabama, which in
wolves precisely the same question,
namely, the constitutionality of the State
law prohibiting miscegenatiOn. The Ala
bama case is entitled ''Toney Pace, plain
tiff in error, against the State of Ala
bama," and also arises out of the living
together of negro and a white woman.
Tinsley, the plaintiff in error in the
case dismissed this afternoon, probably
thought it not necessary to go to the
expense of employing counsel to prose-
cute his appeal when the principle at
issue would shortly be decided in the case
already before the court.

A short time ago she father-in-law o.
Irwin ID, Bachman saw a brass button
glistening ON the walk as he stepped from
his home in Williamsburg. He picked il
up, and looking at its face saw the words
cincinnati police" AS he gazed upon
the words a man approached and said
politely "Pardon, sir, that belongs tC
me-"
He took it from the finder began to
brush and pat it, as be sOlilequized: "Ah.
l would regret very much to lose you, the
last apd only souvenir of those happy days
of my life.n
"You place great store on that button ?''
remarked the finder.
'Ah, sir, indeed do" the Stranger re-
piled, and then he told a story which over
dozen residents OF williamsburg have
since heard aim declaim. He spoke of a
hoTae In Cincinnati, and of his appoint
ment ON the police force. He pictured the
JOY which came tG him and his wife as
little by little they saw money accurau-
late ia the savings bank. Then exhibit.
ing bank book in which there was a
large sum to his creetit, he continued
But the baEk eroke, ard ! was set wild
Worfl4aent OF mlp1s brought about the loss
OF my place, and came to williamsburg
I'd .ne hope of getting work."
The finder Of the button furnished the
stranger with money and provisions, and
interested his son-in-law in his behalf.
Work was found for him, but he would aot
accept Of it, preferring to go abouS pattiD .,
his little brass button and telling his story,
Among those who have seen the button
are Chief Smith, of the Fire Department..
Chester Burroughs, John Perry and
Policeman Phelan. The latter saws he
would. give two days pay to find the man
dropping that button,
