AN HONOR TO A VIRGINIAN.- The statue
of John Peter Gabriel Muhlenburg of
Woodstock, Va, which has been given the
place in Statuary Hall at the Capitol in
Washington formerly occupied by that OF
Fulton, the builder of the first steamboat,
attracts much attention from visitors,
especially Yirginians. 1t represents the
Revolt tionary hero in that dramatic act
of throwing aside his clerical robes and
disclosing his military uniform.
He was engaged in preaching at Wood
stock when the Revolution broke out and
having served in the Prussian army, his
military ardor and patriotism overcoming
his clerical zeal, he determined to resume
the sword and entered the pulpit for the
last time with uniform under his robe.
In the course of his sermon he said there
was a time for all things-a time to preach
and time to fight, and now was the time
to fight. He then displayed his uniform
read his commission as colonel and order
ed the drummers to beat up recruits,
raising regiment-the Eighth Virginia
in a short time. He was afterwards
elected a member of Congress and served
in the House, of which his brother was
first Speaker, from 1889 to 1901, with briei
intervals. He then served for year as
Senator.-ROck. Register.
