NEED BLESSING.
Parson Willing 10 ray .or shingls If III.
Lord Will ONE Gown Upon Oh, enton.

a good story comes from Richmond
and IS going the rounds of the press,
i'll which our Judge Harrison is said
TO be one OF several members of the
Constitutional Convention that was
prayed for at q colored revival meeting.
Ii seems that while the judge, Mr.. Kee-
Zeil, Mr.. McIlwraine and other members
of the Constitutional Convention were
strolling around Richmond, they dropped
into 4 colored church where revival
was in progress. Just then one of the
new converts was called on to pray.
Catching sight of the visitors as he kneIt
down, and wishing to impress them with
a sense of his ability, as we'll as his in
terest in their spiritual welfare, he
prayed that de Lord will convert desc
mpscallions, desc sinners from de con-
ventioniS and added, Lord you know
Edey will do nuttins derselves. You
must bring de blessn' to UNI. Come
down now, Lord; right off. right down
through de roof. I'll pay for de shingles "
We think we can see the Judges face
now, as the petition was being made in
behalf of the members OF the conven-
ton. and while he no boubt took his
medicine with as good grace as the rest
of his colleagues, it is safe to say that
from now until the end of the conven-
ton the revival meetings of coiored
churches will not be patronized by our
Observation-Disclosures News-ltem.

not suspecting that anything was wrong,
accompanied the supposed general to the
Town Hall, where 9Aavantics ordered the
men of the Fire Department to join him.
This motley procession proceeded to the
Gendarmcry barracks. where Alavart1cs

wounded him.

General had not recommended in his re-
ports any such changes in the ocean mail
service as was contemplated by the pend
ing bill
Mr Aldrich interrupted to inquire
whether the foreign mails were carried
in American vessels
Il think not, - replied Mr.. Clay. The
mail was getting through, he said. but
he could not say how much WIGS being
carried by foreign and how much by
American steamships.

there was any provision III the pending

Mr. Clay replied that the whole matter

General
rs it. not a fact suggested Mr..
Hanna, s.that all mail CARRYING con-
t1tacts are let in that way?"
.T think the Senator from Ohio is cor
rect responded Mr.. Clay. My under
standing is that under the act OF lol
the foreign mail service is LETT to the
Postmaster-General to contract for in his
discretion.
There is nothing in this bill changing
the method of making contracts" sng-
gested Nr. Hanna '"That is the point
