-4mecdote of Bishop Simpson.

A Methodist of Pittsburg relates, i'll the
Dispach of that city, that when he was young
man, just having entered the ministry, he
lodged with Bishop Simpson in Ohio one
night, and the next morning they boarded
train at an early hour to attend the dedicca-
ton of o church at GAINESVILLE, where the
Bishop was to preach. The conductor of
the train recognized the Bishop, and during
conversation which followed, the conductor
informed him that he had withdrawn him
self and family from the Methodist Church
on account of the anti-slavery preaching he
heard there. For an hour, in kindly man
ner. the Bishop reasoned with the conductor,
and was strongly impregnated with the pro-
slavery sentiment. Three years afterward
the war broke out, and the conductor became
the colonel of the first colored regiment ever
raised for the defence of the Union. On
the same occasion, after the Bishop had
preached, he remarked to the minister who
had come with him: "There's young man
in this congregation named McCabe, who is
a fine singer, and I've notion to call him
out" and shortly afterward he invited the
the young man to come forward and favor
the audience with an appropriate song, which
he did and this was, perhaps the first official
recognition of the now famous Chaplain Nc

read beautiful and touching tribute to the
dent. Around him were seated men high in
the English church, and men of the world
wide reputation as statesmen ,philanthropists,
and scientists. The best of the English So
ciety was there. In the audience which
filled the great hall to the doors were Ameri-
can travellers and English people OF all ranks
in life crowding together to testify the SYM
pathy one country felt for the other in it's
heavy afliicfion.
Mr.. Lowell was evidently moved by the
scene and the old bishop who sat near him,
intently listening to his words, showed by
his countenance how much it affected him
when Mr.. Lowell concluded. Applause was
showered upon his beautifully expressed SEN
timents, but the audience seemed to want
something more spontaneous and more di-
rectly addressed to their sympathies. Some
body called for the bishop, and he came, will
ling apparently, to the front of the platform.
He spoke to the audience simply and plainly,
putting himself at once by his eloquent
words, in the attitude of one, who with them
selves, had suffered personal loss in Garfield's
death. His English hearers were given per-
sonal part in it, too, by his touching allusion
to Queen Victoria's kindly messages and
thoughtful words of coincidence. sGod bless
the queen in her wonanly sympathy and
queenly courtesy said he so fervently that
he appeared as man of God calling down
blessing, anG the audience joined with him
in a heartfelt s'amen." At the end Of the
address the entire audience rose to their feet

perts, in a measure, and they probably had
paid dearly for their experience. They en-
joyed the races, however, and the fun and
excitement of betting had as much attraction
for them as the mere gambling part of the
transaction.
At Brighton Beach one sees the worst side
of betting among women. Day after day,
rain or shine, one can see the same faces at
the lower end Of the stand, all outwardly in
different, but at the same timd intensely in
terested in FORM condition, weights, and
jockeys. The racing itself does not interest
them. They do not even take the trouble Of
looking at the contests. A finish may cause
them to arise; but it is only to see whether
the horse that they have backed is doing well.
They win or lose with the most philosophical
outward Indifference. An instance occurred
few days ago, within the hearing of the
writer, which fully shows to what an extent
women will go that have become enslaved to
betting. 1t was the race which Vocalic won
at Sheepshcad bay last Saturday. The finish
between him and Miss Brewster was very
close one, and from that part of the stand
where the writer sat it looked very much as
if the FLY had won by nose. Immediately
behind the writer sat a middle-aged woman,
OF Inatronly proportions and demeanor Her
face was white with suppressed excitement.
In fact she WIS so nervous that she did not
trust herself to look at the race. When Miss
Brewster challenged Vocalic in the stretch
she arose, however, and big beads Of perspir-
alton started ON her forehead. As the horses
shot past the post she clutched the writer's
arm and hoarsely inquired: ''What do you
think won, sir:'' ''Miss Brewster, IbeIieve,n
was the reply 'My God," she exclaimed,
''don't tell me that! / have backed the 9TH
err one.' A few minutes after, Vocalic's
number went up. The woman almost cried
with JOY "That saved me-" she said, for
getting her reserve in her delight. 81 was
away out on the meeting, and to get even l
took $50, which my husband had laid aside
to pay the interest on a loan. Twenty-Five
dollars went on the other races, and, attract
ed by Vocalic's light weight l determined to
risk all that was left on him. Had Vocalic
lost, am afraid that could not have faced
my husband. Now, however, | win $3.50,
which puts me nearly $50 to the good on the
meeting"
Occurrences like this make even the most
enthusiastic male plunger look rather queerly
at his favorte amusement or mode of specu-
lation, whatever he choose to call it.

WOMEN BETTING AT THE RACES.

1.-THE Hour

Pin Money Melting Like Vet Smgnr-Fe-
male Gambling Parties a Feature.
The Hour.
One of the most striking features of gath
erings on the race-course is the enormous
gentle sex. The days of wagering boxes of
gloves or bonbons are practically over, and
the keenness with which women pursue the
mighty dollar in the betting rings is little
short of marvellous to the merely casual race
goer. Time was when ladies did not attend
races save in the company of their husbands,
brothers, or intimate male friends Now for
a great number of women who 90 to racing
d male escort is superiuous; in fact he is in
the way. There are messengers on the
grand stand who do all the buying of tickets,
and also the cashing III for small per cent
age, and do it much more quickly and re-
liably than the ordinary male race-goer can
do The consequence is that regular hen
parties are now made up for the races, and
pin money goes in way amazing to behold
to the unsophisticated husband or father.
In its milder stage the betting fever among
women is rather amusing, and providing the
female hacker is provided with liberal al
lowance Of common sense, it will lead to no
particular harm. The writer numbers
among his acquaintance lady whom her
husband has taken to races very frequently
during the past three or four years. He
never bet himself, but he allows her from
500 to s25 day to invest. She starts in
every year with charming enthusiasm to bet
nationally and carefully, SO as to make
enough money to buy liberal presents for
husband and friends, out in her career thus
far she has failed signally. She made her
beginning this year at Sheepshead bay,
and impaired to the writer in confidence
that she intended to buy Conversation
chair'' for her husband with the proceeds
of her Coney island investments. The
first three days she was out but last she got
fresh supply of money. 1t melted like ice
under a blazing July sun. Finally she be-
gan to grow demoralized, and bought one

ATLANTA Constitution.


The great temperance orator, John B.
Cough, says that he has not yet overcome the
nervousness produced by the sight of an au-
dience. Even now his knees always tremble
when he first opens his mouth. During the
first eighteen years of his lecturing expert
ence he spoke only on temperance, deliver
ing 5, 400 lectures, 1,160 of which were in
Great Britain. In his early youth he enjoyed
no advantages and he was twenty-five years
old before he read any literary productions.
In his early career as speaker Mr.. Cough
felt many misgivings on account of his lack
of education, but when he met Wendell Phil
lips and Mr. Blaine they made him forget his
disadvantages, and encouraged him greatly
Mr.. Cough says that he has no desire to pose
as great thinker or great speaker. He
considers himself mere story-teller, but
nevertheless he speaks with an object in view
