Got Away with the Church Funds.

NEW YORK, May 1S.-John H. Deane, the
lawyer and real estate owner of this city,
who failed for 100000 year ago, was
counsel for the Baptist Homo Mission So
cisty and member of its finance committee
He invested large sums for the society and
made it preferred creditor for $4,000. A
committee of investigation has found that
the amount involved exceeds this and prob
ably reaches $4,000. The assignee Of
Deane's estate reports that it will not real
ize over 500, 900 altogether and that the So
ciety's investment will be almost total loss
The facts will be laid before the Baptist con-
vention at Saratoga May 81, and are ex-
pected to cause a sensation.

Church of the Epiphany. The church was
densely crowded at both services.
During the Sunday-schoOl meetings
Bishop Paret addressed the pupils upou the
subject of the bishops penny fund in
augurated at his suggestion to enable this
diocese to meet the expense of colored mis-
sions, toward which Sl,70O has heretofore
been annually given to tho diocese by the
Home Missions Society.
Bishop Paret feels that 50 large aud pros
porous a diocese should not be dependent
upon the Central Committee for aid in so
important Il matter and proposes that here
after, ON the second Sunday of each month,
a collection he taken up for this purpose,
at which each scholar will be expected to
contribute at least one penny, as that con-
tributiOn monthly from every scholar
would aggregate the required amount
The second Sunday will also have some
special prayers and services designed to
instruct the children as to the nature aud
importance Of the diocesan work aud the
relation which their own school and parish
bears TO IT,.

The presentation of the opera of Paul
and Virginia" at Albaugh's Grand Opera
House fully realized the most sanguine ex-
pectatiOns.
The audience was unsurpassed in point
of ofnumbers and notability, and list of those
present would constitute complete cata-
logue of the fashionable people of the city.
The orchestra was admirable and tho
orchestration exquisite. The scenery, stage
settings, properties and all other auxil-
iaTies were oxcellently arranged, and every
member of cast and chorus showed careful
training and untiring industry.
Many of the musical gems were ex-
cellently rendered. and the performance
was in all respects rather better than could
have been expected-its interminable length
and prolonged waits being the most serious
drawbacks. The floral offerings, showered
in lavish profusion upon the favorites were
the most elaborate and beautiful ever
handed over the fOotlights of Washing
ton theatre.
