CONFIRMATION AT TRINITY,

Bishop Burgess made his annual visi-
tation to Trinity parish yesterday, being
present and preaching at both morning
and evening services. In the evening he
preached from Corinthians, Is 3d.
For this corruption must put on interruption
and this mortal must put on Immortality
1t was a sermon on the resurrection, q
beautiful and convincing discourse. The
soul does not die when the body is re.
turned to mother earth, the bishop said.
We do not lie down the soul when we
clasp our hands in deaths embrace. Nc
sealed stone is placed above the door of
the tomb which b olds the body of the
soul. The dead must rise again. The
resurrection of the body of the dead, of
the persisted flesh and its reuniting with
the soul is the grand Easter day resurrec-
ton. All preaching and all hope is in
vain if the dead rise not. 1t is hopeless
to follow the dead body OF Christ over
the graves where the flowers of hope do
not grow.
All in their graves, shall. the bishop
said hear the voice of the Son of God, aud
come forth and the dead in Christ shall
rise again and their bodies be united
with the soul. Out of the dust of those
who die in Christ's faith, will be formed
the body of the resurrection. AS the
seeds which sown produce the beautiful
trumpet of the morning glory or the
fragrant rose, so is the mortal to the im~
mortal That which is sown in corrup-
ton shall be raised incOrruptlble; that
which is sown in dishonor shall be raised
in glory; that which is sown in weakness
shall be raised in power, and that which
is sown in natural body shall be raised a
spiritual body. So it is that this corr
ruption shall put on interruption and
this mortal Immortality. The bishop
counseled good use of the hands, ears
and eyes. so that when this mortal be>
comes immorts, we shall be prepared to
enter into the presence and the glory of
God.
At the close of the evening service
Bishop Burgess confirmed a class of
nine, delivering in connection with the
solemn office, the customary address to
the candidates. There was large con-
gregation present.

He was born at Kenton. OHIO, October 2
1853 His father was pastor of the Pres

1858 he came with his parents to Hill

in Bloomington settled at Elm
wood, H., where his father died in 1863,
leaving family of five children, three
boys and two girls of whom the subject

of this time Mr.. Marquis not only carried
on his studies in the college, but also

"REMINISCENCES.

Hon. William DOrsheimer, of
New York, is dead.
He was Lieutenant Governor
when Samuel j. Tilden was Gov
ernor.
in 1876 Dorsheimey was a can
didate tori the Democratic nomi-
nation for governor, but, though a
political necessity to the Tilden
faction, he was not favored for gov.
ernor. His relative was chief Of
police OF St. Louis where the nat
ional democratic convention was to
be held, and a scheme was then on
foot to corral the city in favor OF
TiIden, the which was effectually
done.
When the New York convention
met, j. Thomas ISpriggs, then
mayor of Utica, and since congress
man from that district, telegraph
ed the convention that Horatio
Seymour would accept the nomi-
nation for governor, whercupon
that venerable statesman was duly
nominated and Dorsheimer ,nomI-
mated for lieutenant governor.
Spriggs had no authority to use
Seymour's name, but the cOnven-
ton adjourned and Seymour's de-
clination to accept the nomination

AS Dorsheimer was,disposed of,
he having accepted the second
place on the ticket, the committee
placed Luctus Robinson at the
head.
Thus Dorsheimer was s'obliged to
stand by the Tilden faction. though
they had played him a very shah.
by trick.
AT that time it was considered,
in New York state, a feature OF
political etiquette to nominate Mr.
Seymour for any office he would
consent to stand for, hence when
Spriggs' telegram arrived, an

accept the nomination tor governor,
Mr.. Dorsheimer withdrew his can

DIR. SHEADY evidently believes
in something like mind cure. He
attended Gen. Grant, and says that
after the latter had determined to
write his biography, to leave it as
a fortune to his family, his disease
abated and made little or no pro-
gress till the work was done. Then
when Grant had no more to do, his
mind relaxed, depression followed,
the disease renewed it's activity and
death soon ensued. In the case of
the Emperor Frederick, he says, a
similar process is producing a sim
liar result. The new duties de
v0lylng upon him, his great sense
of responsibility, his ambition and
desire to live that he may be ac-
lively useful to his people, have for
the present checked the growth OF
the cancer, and as this mental con

likely TO be permanent, he thinks
there may be no relapse. If this

LINCOLN 20. LEADER, 1 year 81. IS
FIFTY EIGHT YEARS AGO.

FIFTY EIGHT YEARS AGO.
Now that what is known as the
White Oaks r. r. is an assured
fact, the occasion seems ripe for
an article touching the birth and
history of railroads. They came
into existence and public use with
in the lifetime Of many readers of
the LEADER, but particulars were
never learned else forgotten by
many touching the time and cir
cunstances of their origin, Years
ago we had occasion to look the
matter up, and from our old files
reproduce the result of our inves-
legations.
September 15, 1880, the first K.
r. in England, the Liverpool &
Manchester Railway, was opened
with great ceremony. A year be-
tore prize of $500 had been of
fered for the best locomotive ell
CINE, which had been won by Geo.
Stephenson's Rocket, upon which
were subsequently modelled the old
grasshopper engines Of the Balti
more S Ohio II. r., their appear
ance being suggestive OF their
name.
Eight locomotive engines had
been completed and placed upon
the line, and all had been tested
with entire success. To every EN-
CINE was attached tour passenger
carriages, each containing twenty
persons. The fist engine, the
Morthumbrian, drew the most dis
tinguished guests-the Duke of
Wellington, Sir Robert Peel, and
other members of the ministry. 1t
had one line of double track to it.
self. The other seven locomotives,
with their carriages, followed each
other OH the ether line.
The procession started from Liv-
erpool at eleven o'clock, with flags,
music, fine weather, and great ell
:husiasm. Seventeen miles from
Liverpool they stopped to take in
water, and in order to afford the
Duke of Wellington an opportnni-
ty OF seeing the procession the sew
en- locomotives, with their carri,
ages, were ordered to pass slowly
by the Northumbrian standing on
its track.
Several gentlemen had aiighted
while the locomotives were taking
in water, and one of them, Mr..
Huskisson, member of Pan lament
for Liverpool, and an earnest
supporter of the railroad cause,
catching sight of the Duke OF Well
lngton, between whom and him
self there had been some political
GOODNESS, ran eagerly across the
track to shake him by the hand.
At that moment the order was
given tor the seven locomotives to
move forward. Mr.. Huskisson was
bewildered. The Rocket, which
was the leading engine, struck him
while he was still in doubt where
TO flee. The wheels passing over
his leg and thigh, and he expired
that evening.
The accident cast a deep gloom
over the remainder of the days
festivities. The trip was conclud
ed, that the people waiting along
the line might not be disappointed
but all rejoicing and gayety were
at an end
The next day the railway wa
opened to passenger traffic, ant
