AfoGSO A4ahahCs6s l Some members become dissatisfied and spiteful when defeated for office in the lodge or when they fail to carry some fa- yorite scheme and because of such feelings absent themselves from the meetings, as | suming that the lodge is their enemy and acting on such an assumption become ene- mics of the lodge. Such conduct is not the outgrowth of an earnest desire to build up the order O.: of an honest devotion to the principles of Odd Fellowship p.-Odd Fel- lows Herald.

Miss Winnie Davis.

sWhile the country was being lulIed with the hope of an early re- coyery, Miss Winnie Davis, who has been seriously ill at Narragansett Pier, suffered relapse and passed out into the mute mysteries. The press reports of yesterday conveyed the sad tidings, and feeling of sad ness will be felt over the entire South. In Memphis, where she at tended school within stones throw of The Commercial Appeal office, and where she was known and loved for her many charming qualities, her loss will be keenlv felt, says the Memphis Commercial Appeal.
 Apart from her illustrious descent and the memories which her name awakens, Miss Davis was a young woman of more than ordi- nary powers. Her writings show mind singularly strong and sympa- thetie, and her brave battle against untoward circumstances won the admiration of all who have watched her career. Her first work of any consequence WIS historical sketch entitled ''An Irish Knight of the Nineteenth Century, which told the story of Robert Emmet, the Irish patriot. Romatic as was the sub iect, the book is not romance, but a succinct and lucid history of Ire land from the time of the coming of the invaders to tbe days of Emmet, and of the conditions which existed and which called forth his disinter- ested efforts. These conditions are philosophically analysed in such manner as to excite wonder that one so young should exhibit such industry in research and integrity of judgement, as we'll as cleyerness asd technical finish in execution. Coming into the world in the midst ot fierce conflict, she readily sym pathized with the unfortunate Emmet, who sacrificed everything for principle, and her pages glow with warmth of feeling which be- speaks the intensity and sincerity of her admiration.
 She assisted Mrs. Davis in writ ing the "Life of Jefferson Davis" the proceeds of which work, it is claim ed, were wrongfully appropriated by the Belfords, who published the book. How true this is eau not be definite ly determined, but it is known that the work was not a financial success Of late years Miss Davis has contri- buted articles to the northern news : papers, for which she received a liberal remuneration. Her writings are strong, elevating and pure, and had health been given her, splen- did fame awaited her. Born 70 the purple, she encountered the most biting yicissitudes of fortune bravely and without a murmur, and while she vas compelled to wear the drab of toll she lived and died queen.

Pendleton, One, Sept 27.-LOcal church
circles are considerably stirred over the
announcement by Rev. Hugh Miller that
he WithdraAs from the ministry on ac-
count Of being no longer able TO remain
with the orthodox church. Before the
members Of the Baptist congregation he
made public this statement:
"A week ago | read my resignation. To
day desire TO assign the cause. IL is
simply this; There is a movement now
adays gathering force, called the liberal
movement This l am compelled to Join,
since can no longer hold the views OF the
orthodox church. ! am not leaving the
ministry because ! do not believe in Je-
sus Christ, in the bible, in church and ne
ligiOn, but because the doctrines held BY
the orthodox church l cannot faithfully
preach and conscientiously endorse in my
pulpit ministrations Therefore the only
honest course for me TO pursue is to step
from the pulpit and make way for some
man who can do this"
To reporter the minister said he had
been earnestly considering the subject for
a long time. He had followed the tend.
ency in many parts of the east toward
what is called the new or liberal theol
ogy, and was not in line with the ortho-
dox churches on the divinity of Christ
and other points. He was educated in
Franklin college. Indiana
The resignation and statement occa
stoned an affecting scene. As the pastor
ceased speaking he walked down the aisl,
and left the church. The congregation
then voted to accept his resignation, and
considered the candidacy Of Rev. William
Williams, Of Shields. Ore as successor to
Rev. Miller.
