MAID az MISTRESS.
How n Reading servant Entertained
Her sm pieyer,s Guests

A Reading special says: Mary Ford, a
servant girl, was arrested by Constable
Fisher to-day on the charge OF larceny.
The accusation against her is novel
one. She was employed in the family
of prominent merchant six weeks.
Then the family missed some ar
ticles and che was discharged. II
has just been discovered that while her
mistress was away she played some lively
pranks. She attired herself in the best
dress OF the lady of the house and called
on strange ladies living several squares
away. She introduced herself as the
wife of the master of the house and in
vited the ladies to call on her, desig-
mating the time when she knew her
mistress would be away.
When they called she was dressed in
her mistresss finest garments. She en-
tertained the guests handsomely, showed
them over the house, and felt so pro-
voked because her girl had gone out.
This continued for some time and led to
some queer complications before the
truth was discovered.

in the fact that the Congress OF the
United States has regularly employed

OF the United States, gentlemen OF
the same learned profession are regular
ly employed and commissioned as Off

prisons, houses OF correction, and other
public institutions throughout the coun-

sequent Imminent danger of the subver-
sion OF constitutional liberty, and with
ont any Uory audible groans from tax
PAYERS who are compelled to pay for the
dissemination OF views which they do not
share?
These are some OF the instances In
which the union OF Church and State IS
and has been for years permitted in other
departments Of Government, and yet In
some way or other the old Ship of State
seems TO be lettering along rather sue
cessfully and to be in fair way OF
making port. And after apologizing for
the length Of this communication and
the necessary use of the first person
cannot better close than by emphasizing
from my experience Of several years with
city affairs one of the points made by DR.:
jackson in his letter in your issue OF
tho 23d instant. and that point
is that. however sincere the ministers of
the Methodist and Baptist denominations
were in their recent offer to attend the
funerals of paupors whenever requested,
the arrangement suggested by them IS
not practicable, from the very clrcum-
stances of the case-the limited time OF
notice. the pressure upon the ministers
of other duties, and the lack of means OF
conveyance. And creditable as their
offer is tc them, we will soon see the
almshouse authorities. for these admit
edly good reasons, give up trying to get
ministers for these services, and matters
will revert TO their present condition.
If this condition seems to these minis
tiers as in oil respects fit and proper, and
as fairly indicative of the sentiment of
the community upon the subject, then
certainly it ought not to be objected to
by one who is not minister, not con-
nected with any denomination, but only

The A,mshouse Chapsaincy.
RICHMOND, Va, March 6, l8S'

hlIHMONDg hss -hoANh W AOD''
As member of the Committee for the
Relief of the Poor who moved the reso-
luton last year in the committee and
where it was defeated, and again du-
ring the month OF January OF the present
wear. for chaplain to the almshouse,
nv statement may he Of some interest to
the citizens of Richmond very many of
whom know nothing OF this most inter
esting matter.
Nine tenths OF all those unfortunate
fellow-citizens who are annually buried
from the city almshouse have no Chris
tan burial aud many no cody consola-
tons from any minister in dying. Their
death and burial are without the offices
of religion.
Many of the outside poor pass away
in the same manner. In this most
Christian city of Richmond the sick,
dying, and dead poor are treated more
ANONYMOUSLY than some of our criminals.
They seem to be adjudGed guilty of the
crime of poverty. Hundreds baye been
carried out to Oakwood cemetery and
buried there without ceremony every
wear nv the city No holy words; no
tears for them. The least of these is
our felow-citizen ; perhaps n Christian
feilow-citizen, and inasmuch as We have
done it unto one of the least of these,
the brethren OF your Master, yehave done
it unto him. Seeing that this state of
things was q crying shame to our be-
loved city, the resolution was moved;
seeing il still to be SO, perseverance in
the resolution is deemed a duty-calling
upon all Just and righteous men to
search the matter and do their duty.
This most church.goirg city in the world
could spare a few crumbs from their
ecclesiastical tables.
The army, the navy. and the United
States Congress employ chaplains, and
the idea OF a chaplaincy being unconstl-
tutional OF tending TO union OF Church
and State is absurd.
The City Council is elected from the
whole people of ali religions obtaining in
our corporation, and that body may
most properly select and appoint chap
lain for the Richmond almshouse, whose
duty ii shall be to visit and minister to
all the living inmates and give Christian
burial TO the dead. The same minister
should be required to perform similar
duties for the outside poor. 4 suitable
and acceptable man can be found con-
tent to DO this great and good work for
$500 and his work would be among those
unfortunate creatures who deserve pity
rather than blame.
II is good policy TO have the almshouse
chaplain. 1t is wise. 1t is right. 1t
will pay. Opponents to this good work
who babble about denominationslism are
in hopeless minority, for it is very GER
tain that the majority of our citizens do
not care what a msn's name is so he has
character, which is goodness
