a. Storm Arises.
The sailors prophesy change in the
weather. Clouds begin to travel up the
sky and congregate. After awhile, even
the passengers hear the moan of the
storm, which comes on with rapid
strides and with all the terrors of hur
ricane and darkness. The boat, caught
in the sudden fury, trembles like a deer
at bay amid the wild clangor of the
hounds. Great patches of foam are flung
through the air. The loosened sails,
tapping i'll the wind, crack like pistols.
The small boats poised OH the white
cliff Of the driven sea tremble like ocean
petrels, and then plunge into the trough
with terrific swoop until wave strikes
them with thunder crack, and over
/ board go the cordage, the tackling a1d
the masts, and the drenched disciples
rush into the stern Of the boat and shout
amid the hurricane, Master, carest
thou not that we perish?" That great

TRINITY CHURCH REvIvAL.-Mr.
Stokeley. the evangelist from Pennsyl-
vania, who began revival services in
Trinity Church last evening, spoke to a
large congregation, and proved himself
q genuine success, for his words moved
two of his hearers to repentance and
faith. Mr.. Stokeley is simple and earn.
est, using ineligible illustrations and
arguments, subordinating everything to
practical results. A sermon with him
is not an end of itself but a means to an
end. His real end is to move the will
of the nearer to accept the great Mas
ter. In his discourse last evening based
on the sixteenth chapter of St. Marks
gospel he expressed his amazement
that when any one began to preach the
glorious gospel there were some who
believed you were introducing plague
into the community. They saw no
good news in the announcement OF
Christ's mission on the earth. Mr..
Stokeley is naturally dramatic and his
words are often pictorial. He gave q
most realistic description of the woman
who touched the hem of Christ's gar
ment and was healed. He will not lack
an audience and will make by force his
merit known. The meetings will con-
tinue through this week.

Tue LEcToRsHIP.- Washing
TON correspondent of the Richmond
Disgrtcd says in reference to the U. s.
internal Revenue Colectorship for this
district:
..Warrenton, that live, cultured, and
not a bit bashful town when there is
an office in sight, will not be slow 10
come forward with a candidate. In
deed. the report already reaches this
city tnat Mr.. Nose Green is out for the
Mace Then there is Thad. Fletcher,
the we'll known merchant of Warren
ton. who is said to be willing if the
powers that be will confer the appoint
ment upon him. The balance of the
people have kind of idea that War
renton ought TO stand back, but the
democrats of that good old town do not
look at the question in the same light.
The say they have men capable of fill
ing any place in the gift of government
and that If the Washington Post cannot
get anyone else to run for President
from the South next year they might
on pinch trot out man, though they
have never been anxious to reach quite
that far during the present generation.
The Warrentonians do not think they
are asking too much for the appoint
ment now, on the ground that by rights
the uneXpired term ought to go to
man in their place because Warren
ton man had if, and having passed
away it is only proper that some other
weil-known mai of the town should be
his successor"
$50 far as can be ascertained, the Fir
ginia Senators and those representatives
irom the State interested in filling the
vacancy caused in the collectorship of
internal revenue for the western dis,
trict by the death of Captain Shepperd
have not yet come to any agreement on
q candidate. There was rumor here
this morning that e combination has
been formed but it could not be traced
TO any reliable source. Around the
hotels there is lively talk to the effect
that Senators Daniel and Martin have
formed combination, and will ulti-
mately unite on g candidate.
A letter from Lynchburg says: Gen.
Fitz Lee, who happened to be at the
depot Yesterday afternoon, was inter.
viewed on the subject of his reported
candidacy for the collectorship office.
The General declared that the first he
mad ever heard of the matter was
through the newspapers. He knew
nothing about it and had not given it
thought"
