MICHIGAN LETTER.
A CONTRAST.

At the Copgregationalist Club dinner
in Detroit. February &c. pastors from all
churches save the Unitarian and Uni
versalist we're invited as guests and to
tell in toasts why they we're what they
were. Rev. D. d. MacLaurin. pastor of
the leading Baptist church, said: There
is very little difference between the Bap-
tist and the Congregationalist. 1t has
been said Baptist is wet Congrega.
tionalist, and that Congregationalist is a
dry Baptist. Personally speaking, love
all denominations of the Protestant
church except the Universalist and the
Unitarian. For the great mass OF men,
bers of the faith | have only love and re-
spect. but for these two l have little
use." As contrast to this we quote
from a New York Tribunes report of
DIR. r. Heber Newton's sermon, 1.-THE
Truths of Universalism." given in his
church on February 14th:
1.-The difficulties of our age are primari
ly moral. The conscience revolts at much
of the doctrinal system of Christianity.
The moral revolt conters around the doc
trine of future punishment. Universalism
is the organized protest of the conscience
against the abhorrent doctrine of future
punishment. 1t is the protest against the
traditional hell.
'Universalism gives us rational con-
cepton of the character and function of
punishment in the divine government of
man. Mans study of the principles of adj
ministeTing punishment to his fellow
man has resulted in the most astonishing
moral miracle which the modern world
knows. The choas of barbaric forms of
treatment of crime in the past has evolved
into beautiful order of well-recognized
principles.
Punishment is needful, but properly
speaking, penalty is simply an adjunct to
the consequences of natural law. Human
punishment cannot be torturous. As pun
ishment is individualized by man, so is it
by God There can be no Jumping togeth-
er of offenders in a common doom. 1t must
be propoptionate to the offence AS pen
alties are dealt out here below so will
they be in the hereafter"

Gen. Fitz Lee to Return to Cuba.

Washington, Sept. 1S.-Gen. Fitz-
hugh Lee. at the request of the Pres
ident, had long conference with
him this morning.
1t was arranged that Gen. Lee
should return to Cuba in month.
His resignation has been in the hands
of the President since last March, but
Mr.. Mckinley informed Gen. Lee
this morning that he would not &C
cept it in the present critical situation
in the island, and begged the Consul
General to return.
The conference lasted nearly two
hours. They talked over the condi-
ton of Cuban affairs, and the Presi
dent was especially anxious to know
what chances the patriots had Of
success. Gen. Lee has believed for
some time that the Spanish cause is
hopeless, and he told the President
so. Nothing was said by Mr.. McKin-
ley to indicate what his policy toward
Cuba would be.

The State democratic campaign
opened last Monday nnder the most
favorably auspices and was entered
into with a spirit by Daniel, Otey,
Montague and other leaders of de-
mocracy, which showed that they
not only proposed to elect those on
the Gubernatorial ticket, but every
nominee Of their party, if possible,
even in the closest Legislative dis
tricts. The democratic leaders, while
not doubling the result so far as con-
trolling the next Legislature, say, moth
Ing is to be taken for granted by them
and nothing is to be left undone,
which would be necessary if full re-
publican ticket was in the field.
Eternal vigilance, the price of liber-
ty, seems to be their watchword and
no republican-gold bug combine will
be permitted to steal march on
their party or surprise them.

Leaf of Southern History.

A lady sends the following interest
ing Renaissance to the Baltimore
Sun:
There died recently in Baltimore a
woman whose remarkable traits
could have been little recognized in
that community, as she came there
but to end u life passed in other and
more exciting scenes. Born in Peters
burg, Va, over eighty years ago,
when the "Cockade City" was famed
for its fine society, its clever and
beautiful women, Miss Evelyn May
was the wit and belle of her day.
Married to Judge Thos. h. Bayly,
of Accomac, Va, a member OF Con-
gress at the time when 1t was dis
tinction to be member of that
honorable body,n she was early
transferred to the most brilliant cir
Gle which Washington has ever
ever known-when she was associated
with such men as Clay, Webster, CAL
houn, fancy and host of others
who adorned the administration of
jackson, Adams, Van Buren, and
Polk. Left widow with two
daughters, one of whom died early
after giving promise of remarkable
ability, Mrs. Bayly married q second
time with Judge Perkins of Louisiana,
and entered upon q new phase OF e1-
istence.
A man of great wealth. learning
and accomplishments, Judge Perkins
had yet higher aim-that of max
ing comfortable and happy the hui
man beings committed to his care in
shape of the hundreds of slaves which
came to him by inheritance. His
four plantations were served by cler
gymen of the Episcopal church,
chosen with reference to the work re-
CURED of them; schools and shops
gave interest and amusement to his
''people" and taught them content
and patience with the condition IN
which God had placed them. And
when the war overthrow the old Or
der, and destroyed the work of his
life, the now aged man went winter
after winter to look after the comfort
of the old and decrepid who fingered
among the ruins of the old home.
1t is recorded of Judge Perkins
that when the fleet of the enemy
came up the Mississippi to capture
COTTON MS OWL uduC uIeu ouc AAtA
dreds of bales which lay ready for
shipment.
Judge Perkins was one Of those
members of the Confederate Congress
who, with Commodore Maury and
others, took refuge in Mexico and
were so Hospitality received by Max
imilian and Carlotta. He bore testi
mony to the beauty, fascination and
elevated piety of that unfortunate
empress.
His next experience was in the
great cities of Rome and Paris, where
all that appealed to his taste and
learning occupied his attention and
where his family enjoyed the delights
of the society of those enchanting
cities.
Always admired and always below
ed wherever known, Mrs. Perkins
preserved to the last the charm of
mind and the manner for which she
had ever been distinguished. We
shall not look upon her like again.
Peace to her beautiful memory.

Enemies of the Oyster.

A special from Crisfeld, Md, says:
Captain WINFIELD Nelson, who is
one of the largest oyster planters in
Virginia, reports that the crabs have
done great damage to the oysters in
the waters of the State during the
past summer. They have destroyed
thousands of bushels of his oysters on
the York river He says; The crab
takes position in the sand and
makes rapid motion with it's fins,
causing the particles of sand to rise
and be swept away by the tide. Very
soon hundreds of basin-shaped holes
will be formed from two to three feet
in diameter and about six inches
depth. The oysters fall into these
pits and are covered by the sand
The crabs, he also says, kills a great
many oysters by clipping their gills
when the oysters have their shells
open feeding.

Hon. Thomas. S. Martin has started
out on his tour of Virginia, which he
promised several weeks ago, and
made his first speech of the campaign

described as mot oratorical, but
forceful and impressive" so much so,
that it had the undivided attention
of his hearers throughout" 1t seems
to have been sensible talk and no
one doubted that it would be. He
discussed State issues and urged the
strictest economy in the administra-
ton of its affairs, Endorsed the utter
ances of the Chicago platform, enter
ing into the silver question at some
length and expressing the belief
that the free coinage of silver offer
ed the only logical solution of the
great national problems now con-
fronting the people," exposed many
OF the iniquities OF the Dingley tariff
bill and declared himself in favor Of
some sort of income tax. 1t was a
good speech, so good, that one is apt
to forget in reading it, that he is the
Senator from Virginia, against the
wishes of a large majority of the peo-
pie of the State and that he is I'M
willing for them to say whether he
shall be his own successor or not. a
closer acquaintance with the people
may make him willing to trust them
and give them voice in the matter,
at the primaries, which he so COM
pletely ignored in his first speech.

The democratic meeting to be held
at Accomac G. H. next Monday,
promises to be an interesting one and
should call together large number
of citizens from every section of the
county. The speaker expected on
the occasion is young man of fine
ability who has already made his
mark as one of the leading men Of
the State. A special to the Baltimore
Sun, says of him: The best speaker Of
the campaign, however, promises to
be Mr.. A. ]. Montague, the candidate
for Acknowledgement. He has al
ready attained considerable reputa-
ton in this line, which was very
much augmented by his address at
Roanoke convention. Mr.. Montague
is fearless, frank and effective public
speaker, who never fails to impress
his audiences that he means what he
says and advocates principles he be
lieves to be right,

The colored voters of Baltimore are

The colored voters OF Baltimore are
thoroughly incensed with their re-
publican white brethren and say, that
they propose to teach them lesson
in political morals by voting the
democratic ticket this fall. They
were not recognized in the party
nominations for Office, recently made,
and think that they have been hew-
ers of wood and drawers of water for
the republicans long enough. Ser
mons were delivered by many of the
colored divines of that city from their
pulpits last Sunday against the re-
publican party and their advice was
heartily applauded by their congre-
cations, to vote the democratic ticket
If good enough to vote the republi-
can ticket, they say they ought to be
tit for office.

In the Dismal Swamp, the forest
fires are now driving the wild ami
