Rev. Thomas Atkinson for Assistant
Bishop.

Rev. Thomas Atkinson for Assistant
Communicated.
Inasmuch as it has been decided
to have a coadjutor or assistant
Bishop in the western diocese prot
estant Episcopal) of our State, l
take the liberty of suggesting the
name of one most suitable and we'll
qualified in all respects for that high
and responsible station. Rev. Thos.
Atkinson, rector of St. Johns parish,
Fayetteville, is he to whom refer
ence is made. In the prime of
life, physically and intellectually
gifted; (the last evidenced by the
highest academic degree recognized
by the scholastic new world, that of
master of arts of the University of
Virginia, supplemented by an ex-
tended post graduate course at the
Johns Hopkins); modest to diff
fdence, but never compromising in
conviction kindly and genial in
social intercourse, but ever Jealous
in the Masters work; sssertive
when assertion is meet. yet never
needlessly or Extensively dogmatic lin
tenet and practice illustrating due
medium between the two extremes
of Church doctrinals and doctrina-
ries; imbued with high appreciation
of the duty and dignity of his call
ing, and with universal charity to.
wards his fellow men-he stands to
day respected, honored and be-
loved by those of every shade of re-
| ligious belief in the community in
which his lot has of late years been
cast. Thus qualified as all who
know him will concede, it would be
hard to find one better qualified to
enter upon the high apostolic Office
so worthily filled by his illustriout
grand father of the same name. Sc
believing, I, as an humble votary O.
our blessed church, do submit hi,
name in all fervor and humility t.
the suffragans delegated to maxi
selection.
To those who know him, it i

ApRcPos of the offer made by an
Insurance Company of prize of
$1,000 for the best plan Of cotton
warehouse, we see it stated that the
fire on board the Roanoke, among
cotton and silk fibre, was easily ex-
tinguished by steam; and the cap
tain of the vessel states that it is
common now to have steam pipes
through the holds for the purpose
Of extinguishing fires. 1t is a good
idea; and large warehouses should
be SO equipped where supply OF
steam can be generated. 1t would
perhaps be found to be better than a
stream of water.

THE G.. A. r. does not admire the
action of Farnharn Post, G. A. R.,
of New York, in passing and pub
fishing resolutions relative to reform
in the pension business. The matter
has been up, and the post has been
disbanded. From the order issued
annulling the charter of the post,
it would appear that there was some
technical violation of the rules in
sending the resolutions out without
the assent of the department and
national commanders, but we ap-
prehend that the chief offense was
in adopting the resolutions at all.
Evidently the officers of the G.. A.
R. do not approve of overhauling
the pension bureau, but the great
bulk of the honest veterans will be
apt, sooner or later, to see that it is
to their interest that all scandals in
that bureau should be Investigated
and all frauds be unearthed.

SOME Of the oyster beds that have
been planted on Long Island Sound
were damaged by recent storm
that covered them with sand. The
loss is estimated at two millions Of
dollars. When we reflect on the in
cident, we are moved to remark that
our oyster beds in Albemarle and
Pamlico seem to be in no danger of
such trouble. Neither the sand nor
the waves hurt them, for they re-
main as yet on paper. Perhaps by
the time another generation comes
along, they may bloom into fine
industry. In the meantime, our
friends on these sounds are missir g
rare opportunity.

The Presbyterian Assemblies
being in session and the celebrated
Briggs case being before the coun-
try, the New York Post narrates
the following:
The presidents pastor in New
York does not appear to be of one
mind with the Presidents pastor in
Washington on the Briggs case.
The former, who uniformally voted
in favor of the accused professor in
his trials before the Presbytery,
preached eloquently yesterday in
favor of harmony, without mention
ing names, whereupon the Washing
ton pastor, in whose pulpit the whole
scene took place, could not contain
himself, and remarked, in a delib.
crate and empathic manner and in a
loud voice, "that the real cause o1
the dissension in the Church was
DR.. Briggs" in whose shoes
would not be for all the world.
This plainness of speech, it must bt
confessed, is somewhat refreshing
after the usual circumlocutions O.
pulpit discourse, and brings to min6
the story of another Briggs and an
other preacher-Gov. Briggs o
Massachusetts and the eccentri
Father Taylor, the sailors pastor oi
Boston. The latter, on the eve Of
State election, was making the usua
decorous prayer on the subject. ask
ing the Lord to give the people TO
Governor "a man who will rule il
the fear of God, etc, etc." when b
suddenly broke off: "Pshaw, Lord
What's the use of boxing the com
pass like thst-give us Gov. Briggs!
And, why not? II anythiug

cess was disappointed because the
President did not call on her-or
rather, did not return her call. In
stead, Mrs. Cleveland was accom-
panied to the apartments OF the
Princess by Major Wilson, who rep
resented President Cleveland. II
the Princess is satisfied, and if Mrs.
Cleveland is suited, that would
seem to end the chapter. But had
we been called on to advise Cleve-
land in the matter, we would have
unhesitatingly suggested that he
should have gone incog-that is, il
he could have slipped down the street
and got in without anybody know
ing him.
There are great many people
apparently, who would give thei,
eyes for an opportunity of calling
on a live Princess, and doubtless
Mr.. Cleveland, who is large enough
to have a good deal of human ma
ture about him, is possessed of thu
same feeling to some extent. Taking
it for granted that he would hav'
enjoyed quiet chat with the Span
ish Princess, we see no reason wh.
he should not have left his officia
coat and dignity at the Whit
House and slipped around to tn
Arlington and gratifed his curios
ity-if that be the worldly an in
formal visit incog. 1t may not b
too late for him to try it now.

The Union Dock LabOrers' Strike.


The Union Dock LabOrers' Strike.
By Gable.
HULL, May 23.-In accordance
with the agreement entered into
Saturday the union dock laborers of
Hull resumed work today. The
members of the union and so called
free laborers worked together, ap-
parently on amicable terms. Many
who had been on strike were unable
to obtain places owing to number
of free laborers who had been given
employment. The Chesterfield To-
cal secretary has cut his throat, and
although he is still living he is in a
critical condition. He had been
much overworked during the strike
and WAS depressed by the result OF
the struggle. Before attempting g
the suicide he wrote: 81 cannot face
the misery [ see before the men
through the action of the shipping e
federation. They mean to crush us.

ETIQUETTE FOR DINNER.
A Few Easily Remembered Rules for
Everybody.

One may be refined and elegant, yet
unless continually given over to a round
Of social entertaining may find ones self
at loss when invited 10 some swell din
ner where the very latest fads are OBJ
served and more ceremonious etiquette
required than for informal affairs Just
among the family. On elegant tables
each plate is accompanied by two large
silver knives,a small silver knife and fork
for fish, small fork for oysters, table
spoon for soup and three large forks. The
napkin is folded in the center with a
piece Of bread upon it. As the courses
are served the knives and forks and
spoons that have been used are removed
with the plate.
Fish should he eaten with asilver fork,
and il full Of bones needs the use OF the
knife as well. For sweetbreads, outlets,
roast beef, etc, the knife is also necessa-
ny, but for croquettes, rissoles, bondries a
la Refine, timbales and dishes Of that class
the fork is required. When dessert is
reached everything save the tablecloth
and floral decorations are removed. A
dessert plate with small silver spoon, a
dessert spoon and fork, and sometimes a
combination fork and spoon for ices, is
placed before each guest. Pears and APP
Piles are peeled with silver knife, cut in
quarters and eaten with the fingers.
Grapes should be eaten from behind the
half-closed hand, the stones and skins
falling into the fingers unobserved and
thence TO the plate. Oranges are eaten
with spoon. Salad is eaten with fork
but need knife TO cut large leaves that
have been divided before serving.
Cheese is eaten with fork, though
soft cheeses are spread on bit Of cracker
or bread and covered 10 the mouth by
the fingers. Salt cellars are now placed
at each plate, and 1t Is not improper 10
take salt with the knife. II sorbets are
served before the game, dessert spoon
accompanies them, but is not among the
original number placed on the table. The
small aiter-dinner coffee spoon is used
with the tiny cups Of the black beverage
that concludes all dinners. The spoon Is
the most dangerous implement Of the
dinner, so far as the correct usage is con-
cerned. Soup is always taken from the
side and is eaten noiseIessly. To push the
spoon into the mouth either end first or
otherwise is decidedly vulgar.
