Major j. Horace Lacy, who was re-
Gently called Il bald head old liar by
General Jubal A. Early, has come
back at him in Il card printed in the
TIMES.
Major Lacy has promised to give a
review of General Early's career in
the army and he gives it herewith
without mincing matters. The sketch
should be read by everyone, it is
mighty interesting reading, and it is
not improbable thai General Early
will do something that is also inter

In dignifying by my notice, says
Major Lacy, the unprovohed and
assault upon my honor and
integrity, made by General EARLY in
an article which yon copied in your
last issue from the Lynchburg News,
will say that for many years, both in
war and peace, my relations have been
kind and even cordial with General
EARLY / was greatly surprised at
the brutal insult he offered me at the
banquet of the army of Northern
Virginia on the unwilling of the
statue of Lee. But am not sur
prised at his not remembering it, for
he was evidently blind drunk at the
time, and not responsible for his
actions. But what the Psalmist said
in his haste of all men, Early, who
differs from the Psaimist, as every
thing, has deliberately written of me.
1t will, however, think, be generally
believed that intense hatred of Ma
hone rather than want of faith in
my honor and veracity, impelled the
present publication.

The exact words of General Lee, as
written down by me the day upon
which they were uttered, We're:
among the younger men in the
Army of Northern Virginia, l think
William Malone developed the high
est qualities for organization and
command"
This would still give Early chance
to be the successor of Lee, but after
his Valley experiences even he could
hardly have hoped for an independent
command; for there are upon those
pages which contain the record of
our glorious but unfortunate contest,
blurred by tears and stained with
blood, none which we read with
deeper shame and huzoiliation than
those which record tho Valley cam
paign of Early. where the fruits of glor
ious victory were ignominiously lost
by the license and revejry which fol-
lowed the capture OF the Federal
camps, and after series of Nnparal-
leled reverses, ended so disastrously
at Waynesboro, with the total fight
and dispersion of the entire command,
of which Early, q lonely fugitive
across the mountain, could notreturn
to see of his lost legions" one Or
ganized company.

Now, more than quarter of a CEN
fury has elapsed since the garments
rolled in blood have passed away"
and the South, rising from the ashes
and blood of her desolate fields and
ruined homes, enters upon q career
of industrial enterprise and material
development and prosperity, which
already bids fair to more than COM
pensate for her lost political suprem-
acy and old historic reEown. At such
a time the presence at che North and
in the South of that old Bourbon ele-
ment, which is alike unable to learn
or forget, is most unfortunate and in
furious. The reverse of the benedic-
ton pronounced upon the peacema-
kers should surely fall upon the stir
rers-up of strife. The men who rake
amid the ashes of the past to bring
together the Goals now almost extinct
and rekindle upon the affairs of sec
tional prejudice and party aggrand.-
izement, the fires which once burned
all too fercely-the men who pouring
only over those pages which ylndl-
cate their political wisdom, or illus
trate their martial valor, only to in
tensify the passions and pref ud1ces OF
the past, are utterly unable to meet
exigencies and the duties of the pres
emit, and never lift their furrowed
bxows to c..tcn /. eleam of the coming
glory. =,
ingalls, and Early we hope, will
stand in the Pantheon of History as
the lost representative types of that
dangerous, destructive, but happily
almost extinct species.

While nothing, unless bitter eX-
IRENE and censorious. Early, it is well
known, has been found on both sides
of the great questions of his time.
He now denounces every Republican
in the South as deserter, traitor and
scoundrel. But during all his civil
and political life lie held the opinions
which found their logical expression
in the principles and policy of that
party. 1t is within the memory of
all that the strongest Unionists and
most abiect submissionist in the Nir-
ginia constitutional convention, after
the State was kicked out by Lincoln's
proclamation, and high rank given
him in the army, Early became the
most extreme ilre-eater and ardent
secessionist.
1t is also known that this notorious,
practica, miscegenationist has EN-
pbasized his devotion TO the purity OF
the Anglo.Saxon and supremacy of
the white race by refusing to enter
Virsinia's legislative halls so long as
negro is admitted as Il member.
Gifted with a fine memory and
average abilities, Early presents the
sad spectacle of one who has cult
waited only the malevolent passions,
until like vipers they constantly hiss
from his lips. Who eau look without
Il shudder of sorrow and pity, min
gled with contempt and scorn, upon
that aged and bent FORM, clothed
with cursing us with garment, I"
pouring forth upon all who differ with
him, abuse and SANDER, from a heart
and mind full of wrath, malice, and
all uncharitableness,n except when
fuller of bad whiskey; for ! am told
that in the abysmal depths Of his
present degradation, Early is as indif-
ferent to the quality of his liquor as
to the character of his associates.

A Quaint Old Sanctuary Which Contains
 Some Curious Things.

A Quaint old Sanctuary Which Contains
 Some Curious Things.
 Symbols of peace and war have curiously met in the outside brick wall of quaint old St. PauIs Church in this ancient town. The church is one hundred and ffty-one years old. In the revolution the British playtully sent 8 small cannon ball skipping over the town. An angle of the church which juts out toward Church street was in the line of trajectory and the cannon ball was stopped by It. It half buried itself in the brick, half way up the roof and close to the cornice. It is still there. Ivies have crept over the walls of the old edihce. forming an impenetrsble green mat, through which not square foot of brick is visible except in 8 little circle about the iron ball. In the luxuriant ivy a thousand English spar rows nest and fiu the neighborhood's eara with their shrill chatter. The cannon ball is handy thing for them to sit on. Not less than half dozen cling like bees to it in the warm sunshine con. stantly.
 So thrifty is the ivy it is hard tc restrain it from encroaching on the space about the cannon ball, but the sexton is thrifty, too; he knows the money value of the relic to him, for many people visit the church to learn its history. The sexton's little blaclk' eyed daughter leads the way into the cool, dusky, low-ceiled sanctuary. High backed and narrow are the eunpretentioua seats, and there are many plunging and oramped little gallery lofts. The sexton's daughter has two recitations for the sanctuary. She halts before one of the pews that flank a side of the alter.
 This is the pew Robert E. Lee oc- cupied when he was in Norfork for a few months," she says ''It Is pew No. 15."
 There is curious tenderness of tone in the way they pronounce the name of General Lee, as if it might be the name of sweetheart. No Virginian says General Lee as Northerner calls Grant General Grant, but always says Robert E. Lee. To Virginian children Robert E. Lee evidently is what Abraham Lin coin is to Northern children. Tn an. other part of the church is a queer old fashioned chair in which no one sits.
 This is the chair" says the child guide, in an odd recitation tone, 'in whici JohnHancock sat when he signed the Declaration of Independence. It is the property of the parish"
 It is a common, old-fashloned, armless chair of hardwood frame, with stuffed seat, and covered with fading crimson cloth like plush. Norfork (Va.) Cor. N. Y. Sun.

 LOWELL, Mass, July 15.-Nearly all the Mongolians of this city have been devout members of the fold of the First Baptist Church for quite a time. They were under the charge of Miss Hattie Morris, who had about convinced the other church members that she had the whole number converted.
 The Chinamen gaNo tom-tom concerts before the church people, and told how much better they felt for being con verted. and how sorry they were for their fellow Celeatials who played fan tan and smoked opium On the way to and from the church the moved in q body and advertised their new religion for all it was worth.
 For quite while Miss Morris has been suspicious of her flock of yellow birds. She noticed that they were surely corrupting the rest of the Sun day-school. In quiet way she did a little detective work, and the result was that last night she put the police on to her Bible class playing a quiet game of fan-tan and smoking opium. One Chinaman jumped under bunk and yelled Me no smoke opium; me no see game; me dunk like Melican man. '' He was pulled ill with eight others, an d in court the Bible class was heavily fined, while Miss Morris stood by and aided the prosecution.

THE ROMAN MODEL.
How an AmbItious Girl Earned Enough t'
 Buy . New Hat.

Buy . New Hat.
 Here is the experience of a young girl who was waiting for a situation and at her wits end for money. She had con fided her trouble to the lady with whom she was boarding, and had gone to her room to read the newspaper advertise. ments for female help.
 On the same day an artist was walk. Ing the streets and avenues looking for a model with Roman head. She hap pened to know the woman where the young girl in search of a situation was boarding, and called on her with vague hope she might know some one with Roman caput.
 The boarding-house keeper was not familiar with the type req quired, but she remembered that the girl who had con fided in her was peculiar looking, with a copper bronze skin and midnight hair, short and tously, and she at once sent for her.
 The artist looked her over, asked her to turn her head this way and then that
 'I think you will do," she said. with a satisfied air, but want you at once. The class is waiting"
 'I will go," said the girl, promptly, and soon the two were on their way to the studio.
 Have you ever had experience as a model?" asked the artist.
 "No," said the girl. beginning to walk slower. What am to do?"
 "Wear an old gown, turn your head in Q certain position and keep it in that pose until we are done with you"
 "Is that all? can do that easily enough" answered the girl, with fine Roman scorn.
 But it was not as easy as she assumed it to be. When she was clad roughly in a ragged dress, her head was nearly twisted of it's base by the artist, who finally settled it in a most uncomfortable side turn. Then she took the measure ments. The model wanted to see the l class, but dared not disturb the Roman pose, which was that of Q profile sil- houetted against the wall. She listened | to the pupils talking about her with the teacher, as if she had been a block of wood, instead of living woman, and her ears burned with indignation, but she thought of the money she was earn | ing and maintained her pose. At the end of an hour she was glad to rest | But the five minutes came to an end too soon.
 The next hour was more uncomfort- able than the fi'st and the third was | almost unbearable. When the clock struck twelve she sprang to her feet.
 The artists were surprised. They | pleaded for another five minutes.
 Not minute" said the tired model, "that is not in the bargain"
 twill you be sure to return at one o'clock?"
 II will not fail" she answered, think | ing to herself that it meant more to her l than 1t did to them. At one she resumed her pose and kept it for three hours, with the hourly rest of five minutes. At four she was re- leased for that day, and the sum of three dollars was laid in her small brown palm. Her eyes twink ed.
 What will you do with it?" asked the teacher, laughingly.
 The merry maiden was pinning on her shapely head last winters toque.
 Buy a hat to cover my Roman head, she answered.-Detroit Free Press.

RESPECTING Mir Parnelrs proposition for land reform arbitration in Ireland it is we'll to await the effect of the sugges- tion upon tory politics before concluding that the liberal leader has made great blunder, or, as some pro-Anglican jour- nals argue, has suddenly become bereft of judgment, if not of reason. Nothing has been advanced against the proposi- tion itself except on the ground of mere party policy. And it is often very good politics to make sound and generous offer to opponents who are trying to trade on the reputation of generosity without really deserving it. It is not unlikely that Mir Parnelrs concession may prove Greek gift to the Salisbury ministers, by putting their sincerity to sharp test or by converting what would have been only a sham reform, or a par tial one, into a real and complete sys- tenn for the improvement of the condi- tion of the occupants of Irish farms.
