THE DEDICATION
OF THE MARY WASHINGTON

The little town of fredericksburg was put
to all it knew last Thursday, to take care of
those who came to see the unwilling of the
Mary Washington Monument-but it knew a
good deal. There was the Governor and his
staff and President Cleveland and some Of his
Cabinet. AS the procession went up the hill
to the spot, it was pretty sight-and unusu-
ally pretty, too, for at its head rode ladies on
horseback wearing black habits and hats with
plumes, and the Continental colors, buff and
blue. Miss Rosalie Bankhead of Stafford.

sion were President Cleveland, Vice-Presi-

veterans old veterans, and all the civic OF :

A MINISTERIAL EXCHANGE.

A MINISTERIAL EXCHANGE.
Every minister of the gospel who has not
the advantage OF being under the benefic-
lent itinerant plan of the Methodist Epis-
copal Church, has, we expect. often felt 9
desire for some sort OF provision in his
denomination to relieve dissatisfied pastors
and dissatisfied congregations. Many 3
time a conscientious, sensitive man, bent
Oh doing his duty to his charge, has beel
worried by few malcontents in his congre
CATION until he was sick at heart. And
many time a congregation has found toe
late that it has called the wrong man, and
that there will be no more days of pleasant
ness till he goes.
For both OF these victims of circumstan
ces our Presbyterian brethren are fixing W
Il remedy, and with Il good prospect Of sue
cess. 1t is a suggestion Of Elder r. G.
Morton of Staunton, to establish a minis
terial bureau, so to speak, with which q
minister wishing to change his location
may communicate in confidence, and to
which Il church wanting apastor may make
its want known. Al this to be conducted
with all the secrecy efficiency will admit of
How many heart burnings, what days of
ill-natured gossip in the churches, what
hours Of anxiety to The pastor who has 9th
Ell burdens besides his church to carry,
would not this plan save.
Lexington Presbytery has overturned the
General Assembly to adopt it and it may
possibly in time become part of the dis
cipline, Most certainly it deserves place
there.
