an enemy in the world. The police are
looking into the case.

A "REMINISCENCES.
Prayers at the Opening of the yir-
ginia Legislature.

New Orleans Picayune. August 6th)
IL was i'm the COS, | believe. possibly
early in the '70s, that a Catholic pre-
late first offered prayers at the opening
sessions Of the Virginia Legislature. The
circumstances are as follows:
The undersigned was an attache or the
Richmond Na) Enquirer, and occupied
in reporting the proceedings OF the
House of Delegates OF the Legislature
I'D to that time ministers Of the several
denominations of the Protestant Church
invariably offered prayers before the
opening of the sessions of each body.
IN fact. so IL was upon occasion OF the
assemblage OF every political body In
the state Of Virginia. As a matter OF IN
formation /, addressing the honored
Clerk of the House, Colonel John Bell
Bigger, asked why ii was that Catholic
priest was never asked to say prayers. To
this Colonel Bigger replied. Il cannot
get one TO come II seemed strange to
me being a Catholic by intuition and be-
lief. | then asked the Clerk TO address a
note to monseigneur the Bishop, and ask
him to please send "A prelate of his do
cese for that purpose.
I remember well the occurrence. His
Eminence. Cardinal Gibbons. was then
Bishop Of Richmond ana Vicar-General
OF North Carolina. Colonel Bigger wrote
the request and was the bearer. l sent
1t TO monseigneur through "A friend, Mrs.
Coppens, a jealous COMMUNICATE or the
Church. Mrs. COppenS brought the rtpiS
of monseigneur that a priest would be
at the House Of Delegates the next day
at noon. Before the House assembled
messenger came 10 me and apprised me
that a cierical-ioOking stranger was IN
the lobby induirlng / Immediately sur
missed who he could be. ! went 10 him
and introduced him to the Clerk, Colonel
Bigger. who rendered him his private
office Before the opening OF the session
he offered a most fervent and touching
prayer. SO gratifed were the members
OF the House that the priest was asked
necessarily TO call eacn day' winch ne
did for a week or more.
The matter was bruited about as
most remarkable incident.
Mr.. Henry c. Tinsley. who was at me
time agent Of the press dispatches,
heralded II throughout the country as
being the first time in the annals or Iir,
ginia that a Catholic priest ever had

he and the Indian had il with sword and

stated and half an hour after this he

Sir,-I am loath to try to write anything

Nation, and there we fought and whipped

and also a hot time, for on the morning
of the 18th, about 8 o'clock. we reached
Custunahla creek and dismoupted ana
charged across the creek, which was
frozen over. and the ice broke with the
men and they went through into the
water from knee to waist-deep. Just
as we got across Greer's regi-
ment charged the Indians, and they
ran. and we had to recross the creek
and then it was a running fight all
day until late in the evening. We
returned to the creek and camped that
night and the next day we went on the
