end came Tie death OF this ACCOMPLISH
ed lady removes from our society circles
a most picturesque and charming person.
Reared at Chericoke. the old homestead
Of her father. Gen. COrbin BraXton. IN
King William county. she breathed
as her native air the atmosphere
OF refinement culture, anu hospital
it's. To this she added spirit OF
Wit and vivacity, and the art Of entertain
ing both by conversation and song. which
made her known and admired throughout
Eastern Virginia: where such gifts are
more rare the Jeux d esprit Of Miss Fanny
Braxton. and afterwards OF Mrs Young.
would have been presented with those Of
Douglas JCrrold. In ISIS she married Col.
John H. Young. OF Westbrook. Henrico
county. and there she lived until after
the death OF her husband in 1886. Colonel
Young himself, one Of the most hOspltabls
Of Virginians. had singular charm Or
manner and humOr which in no place was
50 attractive as in his own house.
Here were brought up a family OF chill
dren, all Of whom survive their parents.
Their daughter Fannie. now Mrs. }. Mason

Quarreling among the divines OF the
Roman Catholic church about doctrines
and rights and duties seems to be get
ting quite as common as among those of
other denominations. Here is Bishop
McQuaid of Rochester attacking Arch
bishop Ireland with a vigor and plain
ness that the ungodly even might envy
for coming to New York and using his
influence for tie election of the Rev. Mr..
Malone as one of the State regents.
Bishop McQuaid tells the Archbishop
that he has been meddling in matters
that do not concern him. that are
none of his business. 1t seems that Mr..
Malone is not very friendly to the pa
roohial school-indeed he is said to have
declared that he would wipe out that
institution if he had his way-and this
faot;probably has quite as much to do
with the Bishops acerbity as anything.
1t is probably not SO much Arch bishop
Ireland's meddling that he complains OF
as his NEEDING to elect priest State
regent who is not friendly to the pa
roohial school, and will not use his in
f1uence to propagate and extend it.

The indications are not for much busi-
ness being done at the short session of
Congress. The moribund representatives
who will attend the session--and, they
will constitute large nlmber-will not
be in mood to do anything more than
Is absolutely required of them, and mas
much as the most of them are blaming
the President for their defeat anyflegis-
lation which he may propose will receive
from them very scant attention. A
nun. Der of pop-gun tariff bills passed the
Housevthe last session and are now in the
Senate, SO thatssthese would require no
more action on the part of the House to
make them laws if the Senate should
pass them. But it is practically impossi-
BILE to get them through the Senate in
case of any considerable resistance, for
the rules of that body permit endless
debate, and they cannot possibly be
changed at the short session. There
might possibly be general disposition
to pass the free sugar bill. it, the requis-
lite revenue could be raised without the
tax on that article, but that is so doubt
full that the administration will hardly
want to take the chances. The only
tariff legislation which is at all possible
is the change of the sugar differential
which was put Oh for the benefit of the
Sugar Trust That may come off.
