Evidently Mr.. Varley has very poo:
notion oil propriety, and if he has been
correctly reported he is i'll adapted to
evangelistic work in the South. He
might have made a successful politi.
clan in Sonth Carolina prior to the
second emancipation OF the colored
voters in 1876, but he can hardly hope
to succeed in his missionary labors by
dragging slavery into his discourses.
If this is the line upon which he
proposes to conduct his operations,
perhaps it would be just as we'll if

We Love but Few.

o yes, we mean all kind words that we say
To old friends and to new;
Yet doth this truth grow clearer day by day
We love but few.
We love we lovel what easy words to say,
And sweet to hear
When sunrise splendor brightens all the way,
And far and near
Are breath of flowers and caroling of birds,
And bells that chime;
Our hearts are light; we do not weigh our words
At morning timel
But when the matin music all is hushed,
And lifes great load
Doth weigh us down, and thick with dust
Doth grow the road,
Then do we say less often that we love;
The words have grown
With pleading eyes we look to Christ above,
And clasp our own.
Their lives are bound to ours by mighty bands
No mortal strait,
Nor death himself, with his prevailing hands,
Can separate.
The world is wide, and many names are dear,
And friendship true;
Yet do these words read palmer year by year
We love but few Selected.

Letter from Texas.
GALVESTON. May 18th.

GALVESTON, May 10Th, 90.
MeSSrS. EditOrS,-It may not be amiss
in me, after long silence, to send you
letter from Galveston and in doing 80 l
shall divide it (preacher-lika) into three
heads, each of which I promise to make
brief and to the point.
l. Concerning n1y old ch0rge-the
Richmond Third church. l need not
tell you with what interest and pleasure
/ read the record of her progress during
the past two years, under brother Howl
sons faithful ministrations. Everything
connected with that church is of deep in
terest to me. There some of the hardest
work I ever did, or expect to do, was
done; and there many Of my warmest
and tenderest friendships were formed.
Her membership is now for the first time
in her history on the upper side of two
hundred, and | trust will 90 on steadily
increasing. With the splendid field the
east end furnishes we ought to have a
church of three or four hundred mem
bers. The trouble in the past always
has been that people would move to the
west end as they got up in the world.
This, trust, has in large measure ceased,
with the great improvements which have
taken place on Church Hill. 1 must take
the liberty, however, of correcting sew
eral inaccuracies in the report (given in
the Central of May 6th) Of the Histori-
cal Discourse" They may have been
only the errors Of the reporter, and are
not of much consequence, save that accu-
racy is desirable in such matters.
The church is credited with yearly
gain of eleven members during the SIX
and half years Of my pastorate. This
/ at first supposed meant net" gain
4. e., after deducting losses, etc. But ]
find upon examining the statistics for the
past two years (52 members) that my
construction was wrong. It is clearly
an error. I find from my Register
that the growth Of the church was rapid
during the first two and a half years oil
my pastorate as is nearly always the
case after a vacancy, and amounted tc

The following note received from one

interest felt in some quarters in our Me-
mortal Hall:
Please find enclosed check for $40,
the proceeds from concert given by my
sisters and myself in connection with our
school for the benefit of your Memorial
Hall. Our church is in such condi-
ton that it seems impossible to do more
than meet the usual demands, but as we
are unwilling to be left out in any of the
great interests of the Church, we have
taken this means Of expressing our inter-
est in the college"
A venerable Christian lady, the widow
of minister, sent contribution of fifty
dollars two days ago. 4 Memorial Hull
Society was formed in Petersburg last
week under hopeful auspices and has
gone to work. If all the friends of the
college will Just do what they can, our
object will soon be accomplished. When
ever we get $4,000 in hand, we will be-
gin to build, although it will require
$4,000 to finish. If we can get wing
of the building up, it will be great help,
and the rest will follow ere long.

Three Parcels IN Limbo.

For long time a feud has existed be-
tween the Garry family, who have charge
of the Oakland Avenue Ball Grounds, and
the Farrell family, living in the vicinity.
A climax was reached in the quarrel yes
terday afternoon. After the game played
OF the grounds was over, Thomas and Jo-
seph Farrell, brothers, and another man,
who also gave his name as Farrell, al
though disclaiming any relationship to the
other two, made q raid on the premises
and instituted an assault on the Garry
family. They tore down portion of the
fence enclosing the grounds, and finally
succeeded in creating riot which the po-
lice were called upon to quell. Stones
and clubs were freely used on both sides,
and more than one of the Garrys received
ugly wounds. The three Parcels were
taken to the Third precinct police station,
where charges of disorderly conduct and
atrocious assault and battery were pre-
ferred against them. They were locked
up, and will be examined on Monday be-
fore Police Justice Wanser. The roughs
made an attempt to get bail last night, but
it was too late.

EEsEERDAEs BALI GAME.
Playing Twelve Innings Without scor
ing a Single Run.

Yesterday afternoon, at precisely half
past three, nine men clad in blue Jackets
and white flannel knee breeches appeared
on the diamond field to play an exhibition
game of base ball with Jersey City's repres-
entative nine. They were the Bridgeports.
AS matter OF courtesy Captain Thurman,
OF the home team, offered them their
choice of the bat or the field. and thew
chose the field. Then began the finest
game of base ball that has been seen in
this city for many years. Murnan went to
the bat first and took his base on balls.
and, while trying to steal base, was put
out by ball thrown by the pitcher. The
umpire was Kissed, the spectators deeming
1t an unfair decision. Mclaughlin went
to the bat next and famed the air three
times and threw down his bat with a
puzzled look Bradley knocked out a baby
ny to the pitcher and went out.
Morrison took the first rap at the
ball for the Bridgeport's and managed
to get to first base. Cuff let ball pass
and Morrison stole around to third base.
In the meantime, two men had been at the
bat In behalf of the Bridgeport boys.
One went out, after tanning the
air three times. The next man
got to first on an error and tried to steal to
second. The ball was in the hands of the
pitcher and ne threw it to second base put
ting his man out. Second base delivered
the ball to Cuff who caught Morrison about
five feet off home base. putting him out.
This double play created tumultuous APP
pfause among about eight hundred specta-
tors who Witnessed the game. Bradley
made splendid running catch in left field
and was roundly applauded. Cuff and
Mcdonald stood up and received some
warm line throws like pair of stone walls.
AS Nick Bradley remarked, it was
pitchers game all through Hughes pitch
ing was as remarkable as was Cuffs catch
ing. This is the way the score looked at
the finish of thetwelfth inning:

sHere comes Jumbo!" were the words
that passed all along Exchange Place and
Montgomery street to Warren street about
midnight last night. Sure enough there
was the great, numbering, clumsy Jumbo,
the king of elephants and chief of twenty
others, in whose wake he followed. Imme-
diately preceding the ssKing of Insects
for it is said that the elephant is the king
of insects was the baby elephant, frolic-
some little darling. It is the infants
mother for which Jumbo, it is said, has
formed great attraction. The scene at
the new yard of the Pennsylvania Railroad
fronting on Henderson street, between
Second and Fourth streets, was all life and
hustle last night. Several hundred men
were engaged in loading the stock cars.
Jumbo was loaded in the special car built
for him, and the baby elephant, as is in
variably the case, was put in with him. He
is chained around the body to the top of
the car. It was o'clock before the sixty
cars of the great London show started on
its journey to Philadelphia.

A WAFER SPOUT.
A Bark all but Overwhelmed I'm Mid
Ocean.

Ocean.
PHILADELPH1A, April 25.-Captain Neu-
mann. of the German bark Ceylon, arrived
at this port today after passage of forty
one days from Antwerp, and reports that
on the 10th inst, while in latitude 81,
longitude IL. his craft was struck by tre-
mendous waterspout, which completely
threw her over upon her beam ends,
smashing the hull and deck in several
places, and carrying away her main and
mizzen masts. The chief officer was in
stantly killed by piece Of spar falling
upon him. The captain and two of the
crew were knocked to the deck insensible.
and the presence of mind of the other sea-
men alone prevented the vessel from foun-
dering. This waterspout is believed to
have Leen the same one that struck the
Germanic while on her passage to New
York. Captain Neumann states that the
spout made its appearance before he or his
officers were aware of the fact; he there
fore was unable to bring his crafts head
on to it. The sea was in an angry state
for over an hour after the water spout
came upon the bark, Two of the crew
will be sent to the hospital this afternoon.
