Cleveland, though knew his family well,
and was g boy with his elder brother. OF
course L did see him, often, but /
can not remember him at all,
a. there was considerable difference
in our ages. As to the other story, il
is absurdly untrue, and grows out OF COM
muDicatien written by some anonymous
correspondent to one of the city papers
complaining because In q sermon upon
Washington / did not chance to mention
the name Of Lincoln. Instead Of being q
bitter Democrat, as the story alleges, am,
and always have been, Republican in sem
timent, and should have voted for Blaine at
the last election il l had had the eppor-
tunity. Though / don't suppose that fact
will at all disturb the relations which are to
exist between Mr.. Cleveland and myself"
Mr.. Bartletts observation regarding
church goers and church members in public
life is corroborated by talks with the chap
lsins of the Senate and House. II sm grsti.
fed TO find so large number of people in
public life who are church members and
church goers," said Rev. +. b. Huntley, the
chaplain OF the Senate and pastor of the
Metropolitan Methodist Church. 81 find q
strongly marked feeling of respect for re-
liglon as q motive power for good, among
public men generally. There are number
of church members, too. in the Senate, Mr..
Edmunds the presiding officer OF the
Senate, is an active member Of
the Episcopal Church, a member OF its
General Assembly, and devout man. He
always says Amen st the end OF the prsyer,
out loud, too. Senator Coiquitt is q Metho-
dist, while his colleague, Senator Brown, is q
Baptist. Senators Hampton and Butter, of
South Carolina. are | am told, members Of
the Episcopal Church, as is Senator PeDdle.
ton. Senator Logan is a Methodist" Chap
lain Lindsay, OF the House, finds his
observation quite corresponding with those
Of the gentlemen mentioned above. Quite
large percentage of the House membership
be mentions as members of churches the
fact having come incidentally to his notice,
IN most cases, by the voluntary statement of
the member themselves. They often c6me
10 me after the services at the opening of the
House." he said. land. talking of this or
that subject, tell me Of their church conuec-
tons. Yes. i find my connection with the
House a very pleasant one, and the regard
shown for Christianity very gratifying. Only
a day or two ago took friend into the gal
lery before the opening services took place,
and he told me aiterEssd thst he
was surprised TO see the indication
Of respect and reverence from the
large number OF members present. There are
Il good many active Christian men among
the members OF the House. Mr.. Hunt, of
Louisiana, for instance, is q member OF the
Episcopal Church, aud also member OF the
General Convention; Mr.. Breckenridge is
Presbyterian, having been, understand, ed
ucated for the ministry; Mr.. Bagley is a MEM
Der of the Episcopal Church; Mr.. Buckner,
OF Missouri, is a Presbyterian; Mr.. Brodhead
is member of the Episcopal Church, "a is
Governor D0rsheimer too; Mr.. LeFevre is q
Catholic; Governor Long Unitarian; Cen
ersl King CT Louisiana. an Episcopal; Mr..
Money!, ef Missouri, q member of the Disci-
DIes' Church, as is Mr.. Willis, of Kentucky;

q Presbv r. <iaD elder; Mr.. Scales Presby.
terjan: Mr.. Sumner an Episcopal; Mr..
Vance a Methods and member OF the Con
ference, and Mr.. Wilsoi, Of West Virginia,
an active Baptist"
Mr.. Lindsay, who is rector OF the Episc0-
pal Church which the second President oil
the United States, Jefferson, attended, car.
ries with him to his House services q con.
siderable of the Episcopal forms, the pray
ers being each day selected from the collec!
and mem0rized for the opening service. He,
of course, omits the surplice, bat aside from
this the service is in the church form, the
two brief collects being followed By the
Lords Prayer and the brief benediction.
Cha plain Huntley, of the Senate. who is q
| Methodist, follows no particular form, max
ing his prayer brief. The number listening
to MS opening services in the Senate is
usually small, compared with those in the
House, where the attendance At the opening
hour usually reaches pretty nearly hun
bred, while in the Senate ii is often NO more
than dozen. AusTIS.
