WINDOW TO bishop NEWTON.
Pretty Memorial 10 BE Unveiled This
Afternoon.

The beautiful Observation-Disclosures erected
IN memory of Bishop Newton at Monu-
mental church will be unveiled to-day at
2. NJ, before the regular Ascension
Day service. Ascension-Day was chosen
for the unwilling because Bishop Newton
died on that day. and the exercises Will
be exceedingly simple, as the Bishop in
life decidedly disliked ostentation of any
kind.
The window IS a beautiful one. and
represents the Ascension, showing the
Saviour as He ascends with the apostles
grouped below. The inscription Is Peace
I leave with you; My peace l give unto
you" The window was designed and
made By the Tiffany Glass and Decora-
ton Company, OF New York, and il an
extremely beautiful work Of art. The
colors are pure and distinct and the faces
exquisitely beautiful.
The window is erected to Right Rev.
John Brockenbrough Newton, who was
for years pastor Of the Monumental
church, and afterwards Bishop COadjutor
of Virginia. Bishop Newton's strong and
lofty character is well known through
out the State, where his memory is be-
loved and revered. The window is erect
ed by the congregation Of the church.
All the Episcopal clergy of the city are
requested 10 come prepared 10 go into
the chancel, and the general public is
cordially invited 10 be present.

The tobacco warehousemen were agree

Everybody contends that the crop has

scarce and will continue so until the
new crop comes in. An increase in offer
ings of common and medium leaf and
Tugs is noted, but much of IL Is destitute
OF even a suspicion OF color.
Prices continue stin for good wrappers

front, was much provoked at this I'M
soldierly conduct and proceeded to
take the gun of the sleeping man. AS
the gun was fairly in the colonel's
hands the sentinel awoke, rubbing his
eyes, and looking at the colonel in stu
pid astonishment. After a TRADE of
abuse and much frantic gesticulation
hesentinel, watching his opportunity,
snatched the gun from the colonel's
hands and, bringing il to full cock
and to charge bayonet position,
yelled: Sergeant nit the guard!' He
repeated this again and again in tones
that soon reused headquarters and
brought the officer and sergeant of
the guard to the post. As soon as the
sergeant reported the German pro-
ceeded to relate how the man before
him had ridden up on horseback, re-
fused to give the coun.ersign and tried
to take his gun from him. The colonel,
taken by surprise, was dumfounded by
the assurance of the fellow. He said
quietly that he found the man asleep

AS he was about to close for the day
the little window by which he stood,
the vestibule doors swung open, as if
propelled by quicH, strong hand, and
hasty footsteps soon followed.
Young man, you made a mistake
this morning when you cashed that
check for me.
Resenting quite as much the famil-
iarity of this address as what the words
implied, Mr.. Joslin glanced severely at
the speaker, middle-aged man, in
plain, farmers attire, with whip in
his hand.
1--WE never make mistakes, sir"
"You never make mistakes'?" re-
peated the farmer, removing his hand
from his breast-pocket, and regarding
the speaker with keen, critical eyes,
which seemed to be taking a men tai
measure of the man on whose face they
rested.

wrong you should have mentioned it
when you drew the money!
"Just so but, yon see, was in some
thing of a hurry. / glanced it over,
and thought it was all right; but when

i've can't help that" interrupted
the cashier; you might have lost or
spent it, for all we know. If there has
been any mistake it is yours and can't
be helped now, it being our infexible
rule not to rectify such after leaving
the bank
"All right" said the farmer, button
ing up his coat and turning to the door.

Despite the speakers plain, coarse
yarb. there was something about him
which led Mr.. Joslin to think it posi-
bic that he had made mistake in
treating him with SO little considera-

Stay" he called out as the visitor
turned from the window. at is too
