What Chicago Parsons Believe.
From the New York Graphic.

The clergymen of Chicago are as divided
in their opinions of the religious inclina-
tions of their parishioners as they arc Oh
questions of theology or of UNCONVENTIONAL
lines. A recent letter from that city says:
Twenty-one mIuisters-three Baptist,
three Methodist, four Congregationalist,
one Christian, one Universalist, one Unita-
rian, three Episcopal. one Swedenborgan
and four Presbyterian-were asked the fol-
lowing questions:
Do men go to church? If not, what is the
explanation of their non-attendances
Do ministers still believe i'll hell!
Is orthodoxy dying outl
The attendants upon the twenty-one
churches were found to be 7,I74, of whom
4,O36 were women and 3, 1873 men. 1t was
also found that women were the more in
clned to religious meditation; that men
we're tired after a week OF work and pre-
ferred to stay at home ON Sunday, while in
many cases men worked on the Sabbath
and could not go to church. Then, again,
men were becoming more careless as TO re
ligious things. OF the twenty-one clergy.
men nineteen believed in a hell Of some
sort. Some of them in a place of eternal
fire and birthstone. One was rather skepti-
cal, while one would not talk on the sub
iect. AS to whether orthodoxy was dying
out or not, thirteen said it was not, but
rather on the increase; four were mixed on
the subject; three said it was on the decline,
and one would not talk.

TWO GOOD STORIES.

The following appear in the scrap-book
without any credit:
DEAR SENTINEL-Your story of 'Har-
dee Outdoue' reminds me of one told of a
militia captain in North Carolina. He was
marching his company by the 'front.' when
he found himself in front of gate through
which he desired to 60. Here was diem
ma. The front of tne company was much
wider than the opening of the gate, and
unless some change was made in the order
of march, part of his men would go full tilt
against the fence. Our hero belab1red his
brain for the proper command, but the
words, BY the right flank file left, march,
obstinately refused to come to his help. He
extricated himself from the difficulty i'll a
way which showed his possession of the
ready wit of an accomplished guerilla
With bold voice he shouted, Company,
halt, break ranks, march: form on the other
side of the fencelr Can Georgia beat that?
By the by, is the following story, told on
your distinguished governor-elect, Gen.
Smith, true? 1t is said that at the first
battle of Manassas he rode up to his regi-
ment (be was then a colonel at a critical
point of the conflict, and, rising in his stir
rups, shouted: ''Boys, / don't know what
orders to give you, but string 'em! string

SOME WAR POETRY.

The following appeared in the Macon
Telegraph in 1861. 1t was written by Mrs
j. j. Jacobus, and dedicated to the Ogle-
thorpe and Washington Light Infantries:
At the end Of each street banner we meet,
The people all march in mass,
But quickly aside they step with pride
To let the brave companies pass.
The streets are densed filled, but the laughter is
Stilled,
The crowd is all going one way;
Their cheeks are blanched white, but they SIN lie
as they light
Lift their hats to the Ordered Away
They smile while the dart deeply pierces their
heart,
But each eye flashes back the war glance,
AS they watch the brave file march up with a
smile
Meath their flag with their musket and lance.
The lannon's loud roar vibrates on the shore,
But the people are quiet to-day,
AS startled, they see how careless and free
March the companies, when ordered away.

During the late war a lady living in
Florida, who afterwards moved to Atlanta
and died few years ago, kept a scrap-book
in which she pasted all the war news pub
lished in a number of southern newspapers.
Her collections fill five volumes of several
hundred pages each, and in glancing over
these old "reminiscences of time dear to
all southern hearts, one comes across strange
stories, some of which will make interesting
reading to the readers of the Journal, now
that the veterans fair is open in Atlanta.
