THE Diocese of Easton has now
elected four Bishops, of whom three
have declined and the last, DR.. Drys-
dale, has died. The Baltimore San
says 3. The death of Rev. Alexander
J. Drysdale, who, on Thursday last,
was elected Bishop Of the Protestant
Episcopal Diocese of Easton, compris-
ing the Eastern Shore counties OF
Maryland, will necessitate the assem-
bling of the convention for the fifth
time to choose successor to the late
Bishop Lay. Prior to the election Oh
Mr.. Drysdale the convention elected
three clergymen, all of whom declined
Rev. G.. Williamson Smith, D. D.,
who was chosen November Is, 1885 !;
Rev. Chauncey G. Williams, elected
December 16, 1885, and Rev. Kinloch
Nelson, D. D., elected June 2, 1856.
The failure to elect a bishop who
would accept seems to have been
mainly due to the fact that the clergy
men chosen were so situated that they
did not deem it advisable to make the
change, and the suggestion has been
made, in view Of the repeated failures,
that it would be well to confine the
choice to the clergymen located in the
diocese, who have the advantage OF
familiarity with their surroundings,
and are already at home among the
people of the diocese. The death OF
Mr.. Drysdale will no doubt add to the
discouragement which has been ex-
pressed by some of the members OF the
convention, but it would seem that
the diocese which could command the
services of so able a man as Bishop
Lay ought to have no difficulty in Sc
curing worthy successor to that dis
prelate. E"

A something light as ARA look.

IA something light as ARA look,
A word unkind or wrongly taken
Obi love that tempests never shook,
A breath, touch like this hath shaken.
And ruder words will soon rush in,
To spread the breach that words begin:
And eyes forget the gentle ray
They wore In courtship's smiling day:
And voices lose the tone that shed
A tenderness round all they said;
Till fast declining, one by one,
The sweetnesses of love are gone,
And hearts, so lately mingled, seem
Like broken clouds like the stream,
That smiling left the mountain IS brow,
As though its waters ne'er could sever,
Yet. ere it reach the plain below,
Break into foods, that part for ever"

shardein, accompanied by Assistant
Marshal Hughes entered the barber shop
opposite Scholz's saloon. on Alamo
street, and after looking for few mo-
ments at young man who was manip-
ulating the razor over the chin of a prom
inent citizen, quietly walked up to the
gentleman, placing themselves on either
side, and in gentle tones told him he was
arrested. Henry Berkey, that being his
name, with great sapgfroid, wiped his
razor, took off his apron, and after final
glance in the mirror to see that his hair
and cravat we're adjusted, accompanied
the two officials to the county jail.

phOning to Captain Shsrdein requesting
him to arrest the man, he having left
Austin on Friday last. No particulars

First and Second Methodist.

A young man had always accompanied his
parents to the First Methodist Church. one
sunday morning his father was surprised
when, in reply to Are you ready, john the
young fellow said: Il believe. father, that
will attend the Second Methodist this morn
ing Upon This the old gentleman departed
for the First Methodist, in which sanctuary he
was shining light and a great power around
the amen corner. The deacon, although II
Woodworking Christian, also believed in the
good things of mother earth, and had plcn-
tifully supplied wine cellar, which as he
knew that the young were liable to be indis-
Greet he kept under lock aud key. For several
weeks the deacon had noted the hollow sounds
in his wine casks, and he also noticed that his
son had taken IA great liking for the Second
Methodist Church. On the following Sunday
the deacon again asked his son to 20 to the
First Methodist nut John replied that hc had
already made arrangements to attend the Sec
Ond Methodist. The deacon quietly departed,
and John, with three companions, who had
been in waitingwent to the cellar, where they
had been all along secretly INDUCING in the
deacOn's fine old wines John flew to the door
and tried TO insert the key, but could not find
the kcyhOle. He struck mach and saw,
with surprise, that the kcyhOle had been
plugged and that a very strong able-hOdicd
paddock had been attached to the door. As
the rays of light from the tiiCkering match re-
tleCtcd against the door they all noticed some
thing white, upon which was some charaCtere-
and, standing back, they could hardly belieyS
their eyes as they read, in large letters. these
words: Second Methodist closed for re-
pairs John felt SO cheap that he went
