THE LATE REV +. S. GREGORY Rev
Edward S. Gregory, whose death was an
nounced yesterday had been in delicate
health for several years, but had been &C
tive in the discharge of his ministerial duties
up to within few days. He was born in
Lynchburg and graduated at Lynchburg
College just before the breaking out of the
late war. He served throughout the war
with credit in the Confederate army, and
was at the siege of Vicksburg, graphic de-
scription of which be afterwards published.
After the war Mr.. Gregory taught school
for q while, but developing taste and
talent for journalism he became connected
with the Lynchburg Republican, of which
he was for several years associate editor
He was afterwards editor-in. chief of the
Petersburg .Inder appeal, where he estab
lished a reputation one of the most grace
full, trenchant and prolific writers in the
country. During this period he also be-
came frequent contributor to leading
magazines, his poetic contributions attract
ing much attention and praise. Whilst edit
ing the Iader appeal Mr.. Gregory connected
himself with the Episcopal Church, and in
time entered the ministry of that denomina-
ton, his first call being to parish in Han
over county. From there he was called to
Epiphany Church in Lynchburg, which
rapidly gained in membership under his
ministrations.

MIR. BRUMM, republican, from Penrsyl-
vania, In his speech on the Interstate COM
MERGE bill in the House last Thursday, said:
II saw In the cars passing through South
Carolina Southern women coming in who
chewed tobacco and spat over the floor, and
l saw we'll dressed Southern rufians come
Ia who were allowed to sit in the same cars
with white men," 1t is extremely doubtful
if Mr.. Brumm ever saw Southern women
chewing tobacco either 10 the cars or any
where else; but if he did it was in bad taste
and worse form for him to say so in speech
10 Congress. Northern women have been
seen to do more reprehensible things on the
cars than chew tobacco, but no Southern
member of Congress ever said so in speech
made in that body.

SATURDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 20.

NOTHING THAT has recently happeneu
will be more regretted by the people OF
Alexandria and those along the line OF Inc
VIRGINIA Midland Railway than the resigna'
ton Of the presidency of that road by mr.
John g Barbour. Mr.. Barbour held that
nosition for more than quarter OF cen
turv and during all the vicissitudes OF the
road in that long time his Chief oo)ect'
next to the promotion of the welfare OF Inc
road. has been to accommodate the people
who are served by it, and to increase the
prosperity of Alexandria. As the road no"
belongs to the Richmond and DanVilie
Company, Mr.. Barbour deemed 1t proper
to resign its management to that company
Colonel Buford, who has been elected MI
Barbour's successor, is the able and e1'
perienced President of the Richmond ano
Danville Company. 1t is hoped and De-
lieved that be, too, will have Alexandria'
interests at heart.

THE FIRST RoTHsCHILD.-No trace will
shortly be left of the houses in which Borne,
the German writer, and Meyer Amschel
Rothschild, the founder of the farnily's for.
tunes, first saw the light. Since 1872 only
o single row of houses was left, as one side
of the street had been pulled down after
the fall Of TWO houses, when thirty one per-
sons were buried in the ruiDs. Looking at
The Judengasse in its present aspect one ia
struck by the narrowness OF the houses.
They have three stories facing the street,
and the whole of the facade is studded with
small windows The gables are pointed,
and access is gained to the houses by three
or four steps. The doors open into dark
passage, at the other end of which is a
worm .eaten wooden staircase, the boards q
which bend as one puts ones foot upon
them. The rooms are small aud low pitch
ed, and they are inhabited by few Of the
poorest and most squalid families Jew ami
Christian alike. Tber room upon the ground
floor is used as shop by dealers in old
clothes, shoemakers and thinkers. Several f
the wealthiest merchants in Germany at his
time may regard these novels as the home
of their ancest ors, who are now replaced hy
these poor wretches. There is little that is
picturesque about the JudeDgasse, ana
those who have had their curiosity whetteG
by the descriptions in ''Bleder" will have
nothing comparable to what one comes
across in Italian ghettos. More curious
than the Judeugasse is tavern hard by,
where the Jewish beggars meet at nishlfall.
This tavern, kept by man named Levy,
consists of one long room. The walls OF
which are painted yellow. Little drink is
consumed there, but the customers takr
their meals there and play cards. Round a
circular table cosmopolitan company,
consisting Of Jews from Poland, where the
caftan and long curis are still worn, as
well as from Paris and Berlin, may be seen
conversing in low tones, and upon the
evening when the correspondent paid a
Witt to the place, in the company of 4 de-
Leclive, several women were there knitting,
one of them being one of the handsomsst
persons be had ever seen, with magnificent
eyes, white skin and jet black hair en-.
cireled By kerchief of red wool.

there was small graveyard in the loft of
the house No. II West Third street, heaps
Of Wondering human skulls and bones that
had been there for years and no one knew
anything about them. The writer asked
the authorities to find out how they got
there. Investigation showed that the story
was true. and the matter was turned over to
the police. A visit TO the loft showed the
place to be filled with skeletons and human
bones in all states of moldiness. All sorts of
rumors are rife regarding the manner in
which the bones came into the loft. The
bones were sent to the morgue, and the
police are endeavoriDg to clear away the

This is the way that love begins:

Some murmured words and peusive sigh
A kiss, light and soft as the summer winds,
Aud that is the way that love begins.

A quiet lawn and moonlight walk,
warm hand clasp and some silly talk;
A whispered eyes" with the night air blends,
And that is the way it sometimes ends:

Mr. GEORGE w. CABLES novels have
met with such success at the North that
his gratitude to the people of that section
has obliterated his knowledge of the history
of his own, has wrought complete revolu-
ton in his ideas respecting the inhabitants
thereof, and has rendered him oblivious OF
the fact that whereas negro equality in the
North would occasion no Inconvenience,
because of the small number of ne
eroes there, in the South, owing to their
immense numbers-in several States and
MANY cities exceeding those of the white
people-it would be unbearable, and at
once bring on race war. Mr.. Cable, in an
article in the January number of the Centu-
~ Magazine, headed "The Freedman's
Case in Equity" says, Before slavery be-
came grave question it had two different
fstes in the different parts Of the country
In one, treated as question of public equl-
ty, it withered away. In the other, over
looked in that way, it became the corner
stone of the whole social structure" Now
no body except Mr.. Cable has forgotten
that instead of being treated as question
ofpublic equity at the North, slavery was
treated there as question of dollars and
cents, and that it was so only because sla-
very there owing to natural causes, was not
profitable that it "aithered away" Mr..
Cable now also thinks that race distinctions
should be oblterated, and he wants the
public schools, hotels. restaurants, places of
amusement, and all other places thrown open
to the neero-in other words that the ine-
radicable difference made by Nature be.
tween the white and the black man be wip-
out by State laws. Mr.. Gable calls his
changed views on the subject of negro
equality the new IDEAS" but he himself,
in the same article. supplies all that is ne
cessary to be said of those who entertain
them, in the following paragraph:
Exceptionally here and there some onein
The master class did throw ofthe old and ac-
cept the new ideas, and, if be would allow
it, was instantly claimed as a leader by the
newly liberated thousands around him. But
just as promptly the old master race brand
ed him also as an alien reprobate, and in
ninety nine cases out of hundred, if he
had not already done so, he soon began to
conirm by his actions the brand on bis
