REV. 8. D. TOMPKINs.

At nearly the same advanced
age, at his home in the city, the
Rev. s. D. Tompkins was called
away to his reward. For many
long years he was a faithful Minis
ter Of the Gospel. Some years ago
he had charge of the Episcopal
Church at Volcano. He had
preached in this part of the State
for twenty years past, having had
charge of several missions of the
Protestant Episcopal Church. He
was much esteemed for his earnest
piety and goodness of heart. He
and his wife had expected to cele-
brate their golden wedding this
week, and the cards we're all ready
to be sent out. But they are sep
arated for a little while. He was
buried in River View Cemetery.
MR.. sHREwsBURY's BABY.
Of these aged Christian veterans
we say, Servants of God, we'll
donel" and we wonder not that the
we'll ripened fruit is gathered home
to the garner. But he who gath
ers the golden fruit may pluck the
beautiful, tender buds, and carry
them also to his home. So we
chronicle the death of Mr.. G. M.
shrewsbury's baby boy, who died
on Wednesday last, aged five
months. Gods ways are higher
than our ways.

"Another Georgia wonder


The Western papers speak of the Rev.
Sam Jones rs ''another Georgia wonder"
He has been preaching in Nashville since
Sunday in a great gospel tent" which
cost $1,000 and which is large enough to
hold several thousand poople. Three
pUblic services are held each day, one
beng at G o'ciccs IN the morning, and at
each % the services there is a great crowd.
30 minister was ever more thoroughly
advertised than was Rev sam Jones just
before he began this series Of meetings.
His eccentricities were well known, and
he had made remark sin some Of his former
sermons in that city and elsewhere,
that excited the indignation of the self
righteous class OF its people. He was
abused and ridiculed and misrepresented.
lie was called a crank, a blasphemcr, and
coarse seusational.st. His enemies adj
verised his meetings as circus,
and called MIN the clown. Hence,
it was not to be won
dered at that thousands Of people went to
hear him at first out Of mere curiosity,
and he knew it. This fact did not daunt
him. lie told them So Nearly all the
ministers OF Nashville went to hear him.
Most OF them doubted the propriety Of his
style of preaching, but wanted TO find
something in him to approve, and to dis
cover the secret Of his power. lie looked
them in their faces, and told them In plain,
blunt language, but with an earnestness
that sent a thrill through the whole
audience Of 5000 people, that Nashville
I 4
theirs. "One of two things he told them,
'ls true-the plan Of salvation is detec-
tive, or you are not preaching the gospel"
He cut them to the heart. In very few
minutes the entire row Of preachers were
in tears, and there were few dry eyes in
the great congregation.
Nashville has never been so shaken up
before. People of all classes, men and
women from the poorest to the wealthiest,
eagerly attend the Rev. Mr.. Jones' meet
ings. There is no curiosity concerning
him in Nashville now. The dormant con-
sciences of the people are aroused, and
everywhere there are evidences of thought,
if not Of solemnity and anxiety. No
mourners are called to anxious seats.
Whole congregations rise up and ask to
be prayed for.
There can be no doubt of the success of
the Rev. Sam Jones. He has awakened
the people at Nashville as he has every
where that he has preached. 1t has been
demonstrated that the effects Of his preach
ing are not evanescent. Even the doubt
ers are compelled to ask SIS he inspired
or is his influence due to carnestness
aone?1

The Postmaster-Gencra Circular.
The ostmaster-GeneraPs confidential
circular. relative to the removal of post
masters, the full text Of winch we pub
lisued Yesterday, doesn't indicate that he
has had much experience in politics or
in dealing with politicians.
A politician like Mr. Manning, for in
stance, would hardly have expressed HIM
SELF to the politicians IN the guileless sort
Of way that Mr.. Villas has. There is noth-
/ ing to be condemned in the circular. 1t
/ would have been wiser, perhaps, not 10
have marked it confidential" There is
nothing IN it that the public shouldn't
know, and Mr.. Villas ought to have known
that il would very soon find its way into
the newspapers. The fact That il was
sent to only a few persons in few States
under the seal OF secrecy gives ground
for the suspicion that Mr.. Villas
thought that he was communicating
information altogether too important TO
be given to the public. His mistake in
this respect subject him, of course, to just
a very little ridicule.
The circular shows how very sincere
and honest Mr.. Villas is. He wants to do
only what is fair and right and at the same
time he desires, as far as ne thinks he coz
sstently can, to stop the murmurs of dis
content among those who want post
Offices.
His plan of action isn't bad. Indeed it
has points of real merit. No one will deny
that the offensive partisans ought to be
removed from office before attention is
given to less Objectionable officials.
Mr.. Villas proposes to remove the most
offensive partisan postmasters in each
State at once, or, at least, as fast
as he can decide upon their sue
cessors. His plan for reaching a de-
cision as TO who are the most offensive
partisans is rather original. 1t may not
always bring about the removal of the
officials whose removal is the most to be
desired, but it certainly will make vacan-
cies which will be filed with Democrats.
The entire confidence with which Mr.
Villas relies upon those to whom he adj
dresses his circulars. shows that he is not
a suspicious man. He doesn't seem to
have a doubt that those whose aid he in
vokes win act with the same disinterest-
edness and conscientiousnes as he
would under like circumstances. 1t
it to be hoped that ne will not
be grieved by discovering that
he b as made a mistake in this respect. If
he finds that some OF those to whom he
has applied for assistance in his good
work are influenced by prejudice and self
interest, rather than by sincere desire
to help him get the right sort OF men into
the Offices he must not lose confidence in
his plan. He must not expect too much.
1t is not at all improbable that enough Of
those to whom this circular is sent will
prove true to the trust reposed in them to
make the plan success.

Russia After Persia, Not India.
rom tie London Truth

That the Russians are ever likely to invade
India is improbable. l have no doubt, how
ever, that they are by no means sorry TO have
approached India, because, IN case of dis
pute with us In Europe, their presence so near
to our Indian possessions would oblige us TO
send troops to India instead of-as was the
case during the Turc l-Russian war-brlnging
Indian troops into the Mediterranean. But
for this do not blame them. We cannot in
sist that Central Asia should be given oyer to
and in Europe may be strengthened. The
Russians had as good right TO annex
Turkestan as we had to make our numerous
annexatIons In India. We are too apt to view
everything through English spectacles, and
to imagine that other powers will obige us
by doing the sane. Nor can we isolate our
possessions in all parts of the worla by per-
petuating deserts on their frontiers. The
Russians, no doubt, wish to reach the ocean,
but their objective point is not India, but
Persia

The Crowley Case.

Our dispatches yesterday stated that
Sergt. Crowley, of the New York police
force, had been convicted of an assault on
Magg elMor-is, a pretty cigarette maker,
II years OF age.
40 criminal case in the New York
courts for several years attracted so much
attention as this. The fact that Sergt.
Crowley was prominently connected with
the police department added to the helm
business of his otfense. There was not a
word of testimony that reflected on the
reputation of the girl. She had gone with
young friends to ball at one OF the well
known public halls ia her neighborhood.
During the progress of the bali Crowley
made his appearance and was introduced
to her. He enticed her into closed bar
room. The barkeeper, a tool OF CrOwley's,
locked the barroom doors. The child-for
the girl was little more than a child-was
terrified by Crowley, who threatened her
with pistol.
The jury were not long in returning a
verdict of guilty. The wretched police
Sergeant viii have plenty OF time to re-
pent Of his crime in prison, because it is
probable that the Recorder will show him
no mercy in passing sentence upon him.
The swiftness with which conviction
followed the commission of the crime in
this case viii be a warning TO New York
policemen who are sometimes tempted 10
stray from the path of rectitude.
