The Lovely Miss Letter.

The lovely Miss Letter, says the New York
Recorder, who has been feature of the dog
show for two days, is very tall, willowy sort
of girl, with eyes that catch yours and manner
that catches every one.
When the Letters first appeared in Washing
ton society they we're greatly doomed by the
appearance Of their daughter, though she WASH t
half SO beautiful then as now.
They were somewhat SGT back though by the
weird utterances of Mrs. Letter. who was a per
feet specimen of the Mrs. Malaprop as any
woman who ever turned up at the capital
On one occasion, in speaking to Count Sala of
the French legation, she said: You're an
etG1ere of legation, amt your" presumably
meaning attache. And half dozen other little
slip-ups of the same character
Yetthere's not the least doubt that Miss Letter
will make a good match, for a half dozen Of the
finest dudes in Washington and New York are
at her feet, to say nothing Of a half score or so

common black muff on his knee, his hands

An Indiscrsat parson.

The presbytery of Morris and Orange.
N. j., Friday found the Rev. Arthur Cush-
ing Dill guilty OF using language inconsist-
ent with the character of n minister of the
gospel. The New York papers for several
months have contained q good deal about
the Rev. Mr.. Dill. lie is young bachelor.
and, from all accounts, a pretty gay one
He doesn't appear TO be vicious or bad or dis
posed to do anybody any harm. He is simply
a bright young fellow who doesn't seem
TO have great abundance of religion or to
be overstooked with common sense. His great
mistake was made probably when he de-
cided to become minister of the gospel A
good many men make a mistake of that
kind. They are not fitted for the sacred
calling Of religious teacher, and they have
no just appreciation of Its duties and re-
sponsibilities. They do not seem to realize
that they are TO conduct themselves SO as to
be an example to their fellow men, and
that by the impression they make upon
those with whom they come in contact
they can do almost as much good as they
can by their teachings from the pulpit
The Rev. Mr.. Dill talked great deal too
much about his experiences in worldly
affairs, and he appears to have regarded
making love to the pretty girls of his con-
gregation as pleasant pastime. He aroused
the jealousy aud incurred the enmity of
some Of the young men of the town and
they made trouble for him.
What the verdict in the Rev. Mr.. Dnls
case will be IS not yet known, but it will
probably put an end to his career as min
lister. 1t ought TO. The pulpit is not the
place for a trifer. The work of saving
souls and teaching people to lead pure lives
is serious one, and only those who are
deeply religious and profoundly in earnest
should engage in it.

Feeling the Public Pulse.

Senator Brice is engaged just now in feeling
the public pulse. He has found out enough
within the past ten days to convince him that
thers is no diplomacy in permitting the people
to believe he IL favorable to David B. Hills
candidacy. His interview on this subject
printed in the World caused decided sensa
ton and brought the senator several hundred
additional letters IN his big batch of mail
The senator by the way, never fails to answer
q letter. The story is told Of him that some
Eme ago an angry constituent. displeased with
Brics's acJion in a certain matter, sent him a
postal card, on which was the single line in
large round hand:
Il think you are an unmitigated jackass."
The senator's secretary was about to throw it
into the waste basket when his employer stay ed
his hand and dictated his customary form Of
acknowledgment:
my DEAR SIR-Your favor of the 10th instant
at hand. Its contents have been carefully noted
and will receive. early attention. Very truly

One Of the Delegates.

The MORNING NEWS has several times
called attention to the fact that a good
many Of those who are seeking prominence
in the third party movement are not. there
is reason is to think, so profoundly in
terested In the country's welfare as they are
in acquiring prominence with the view of
getting an Office. 1t Is doubtful II they
have any fixed political principles or clear
idea Of the demands which are the basis Of
the third party movement.
One OF the delegates to the Sc. Louis con-
ference was the Rev. ]. L. Gilmore. He is
third party boomer of Tattnall county, in
this state. He directed attention to himself
in the conference by insisting that colored
delegate should be recognized In the distri-
button Of offices in that body. He is quite
well known here in Savannah, where, few
years ago, he was pastor OF the Seaman's
Bethel. He was also quite prominent as an
advocate OF temperance. His conduct was
not wholly satisfactory to the managers Of
the bethel and he took his departure.
When next heard of he was an alliance
and third party man in Tattnall county .
Being a ready talker he seems to have made
80 favorable an impression there that he
was sent to the st. Louis conference as a
delegate.
He is one Of q class of men who are al
ways at the fore in movements which have
grievances for their basis. He is an English
man, and at one time was a sailor. 1t does
not seem to be unjust to say that the third
party in Tattnall countyis pretty hard-up

A Relic of the Old Regime.

The death OF Josephus Woodruff, which
occurred in Philadelphia on Feb. %, re-
moves one Of the most widely known actors
in the reconstruction tragedy in South
Carolina. Woodruff was clerk OF the state
Senate and manager Of the Republican
Printing Company during 'the days Of
good stealing and managed, by sundry
schemes conceived and executed without
regard TO conscience, to Feather his nestn
In a very comfortable manner.
Among the publications OF the state is
book popularity known as the "Fraud
Book" which contains the report Of the
legislative committee appointed under the
Hampton administration in 1877 70 investi-
gate the rascality psrpetrated by the car
pet-bag gang, who infested the state from
the close Of the war TO 1876. In this book
there are some very spicy revelations
affecting mon who are now regarded
as exemplary business men, and
there is no part Of the record more highly
spiced than the testimony OF Josephus
Woodruff. He bought votes, engineered all
kinds OF bills through the legislature for
consideration, helped in the negotiation Of
state bonds. dispensed public patronage and
got drawback on payments. controlled the
state printing and advertising, and was
generally big man in the councils OF the
powers. When the frauds on the state were
investigated and a number of lawsuits
against the guilty officials instituted, Wood
ruff managed by some means to slip through
the fingers Of the law, and went north.
He was a newspaper man, bright fellow
and rascal; but he had a contempt for the
rascals who we're not bright. He kept a
diary during the time he was dealing out
official favors in return for cash, and some
of the entries therein are real character
studies. Flashes of wit and humor
are sandwiched between the en-
tries denoting the payment Of certain
amounts of money to certain senators or
representatives as bride for their votes on
designated measures then pending. or to Sc
cure their favor for bond issues or other
schemes. frequently be would add note
in parentheses to such entries, commenting
on the rapacity of the payee, and wondering
when he would ever be satisfied. The hu-
NOR of this is apparent when it is remem-
bered that the diarykeeper's appetite for
Doodle was Unsuitable.
For Franklin ]. Moses, once governor of
the state, and lately a notable prisoner in
the Massachusetts penitentiary. Woodruff
ENTERTAINERS feeling of mingled pity and
contempt. He knew Moses to be a weak
ling, plant tool in the hands of his shrewd
cohorts, and in his diary frequently alluded
TO him in that strain.
Woodruffs death will not "cast gloom"
over South Carolina He was a celebrity
toa certain extent, but not the kind that
Carolinians mourn.

threw a glance at the Scoschman. He fairly
brstled with an odd look OF disbelief. He
hadn't heard OF it, OF course, but didn't have
nerve enough to break in, being uncertain
where the fact stopped and fancy began.
Most unique thing in whols establishment,
though, is the truly epicurean service. Gil
mate is wonderful there, you know, and right

Gould's Good Example.

There is an old proverb which says,
Never look gift horse in the mouth"
The Rev. Mr.. Parkhurst, Of New York, who
created sensation some two weeks ago by
denounoing the city government of New
York, has disregarded this proverb. He
objects TO the Presbyterian church receiv-
ing Mr.. Jay Gould's $4,000 gift because he
is not satisfied as to the manner in which
Mr.. Gould became possessed OF the money.
To speak plainly it is not Mr.. Parkhurst' s
affair where Mr.. Gould got the money so
long as he is not charged with stealing 1t.
Mr.. Gould obtained it. beyond doubt, by
means regarded by the law and by society
as legitimate. A sentimentalist goes too
far when he imputes wrong doing to man
simply because that man has the reputation
Of being a shrewd trader and speculator
Suppose Mr.. Parkhurst should institute
an inquiry concerning every dollar that
goes into the treasury OF his church9 Such
investigation would probably disclose that
his chief revenue is derived from people who
speculate in some shape, and it is not i'm
probable that number of dollars drawn
from the liquor trade, and othert dollars
from sources quite as Objectionable to the
reverend gentleman, would be found.
Mr.. Gould's $4,000 will do as much for
church extension as any &c., 900 ever coined,
and should be just as welcome In church
fund as the dollars of George W. Childs or
anybody else.
John d. Rockefeller on Thursday gave
100000 to the Chicago University-a
splendid example of well-directed philan-
thropy. And Mr.. Gould's example in be-
slowing princely sum upon the church is
just as valuable in the effect it will have in
influencing other subscriptions to the same
fund. not to mention the intrinsic value of
the gift.
Instead of questioning the propriety of
accepting Mr.. Gould's beuefaction, Mr.
Parkhurst and his church should hasten to
express qualification at the good example
| set by Mr.. Gould for the guidance of other
millionaires.
