Jrnc.K Sawyek has rendered a dH-ision in the ca.se of a (-'hinaman who applied for naturalization, holding that a Chinaman ia not a white person within the meaning of the terra slh used in the naturalization laws. and not entitled to lecome a citizen. This i an important ilt.vision, and will undoubt edly lie npiealed to the supreme court of the United States. TirR Republicans of the Tenth District are ho well pleased with the course of ilaj Calkin, that they propose to consider him the unanimous choice for renominati-m as a candidate for congress without the formal ity of a convention. The Major deserves well of hw party, but he would do well to bear in mind that a nomination in Lis dis trict thw year is not equivalent to an election by a large majority. A Methodist brother wntinj to th-i In d'umapolis Xeics emphatically protests air.iinst the course beinjr pursued Vy two ministers of that city. He is of the opinion that merely sensational subjects and lec tures not preaching is not only injurious to the church they have the honor of 1'prewntinjr, but a blow upon common Christi mlty. The sensible, thinking class of people all over the country look upon it in the same way. Is another place we give the gist of the latest phases of the Florida Electoral Fraud business as nivntly detailed by Den nis and McIJn. "We can hardly see why these so-called confessions should create such a bretv.e in political circles just now Everybody knew at the time that Florida went for Tilden and that he was jurtly entitled to her electoral vote. Tilde V? managers gave it away eight to seven, and so far as Hayes title to the office is concerned, he can hold it as securely as if he hod been legally elected. An investigation should be had, not tor the purioso of ousting Hayes, because that cannot le done, but for the purpose of showing that American politics, as conducted by the Republican paity durthe hist presidential campaign, is as rotten as that mythical locality called Denmark. Ocr neighbors of the Ilourlxm. Mirror and Rochester Independent are engaged in discussing the peculiarities of Senator lleeve. Listen: Hon. Chaa. II. Reeve, of Plymouth, was in this place Friday on legal business. He says he can look everybody straight in the eye and truthfully say that he never made an unjust change or cheated a Dan out of a cent in all the time he has lt.n practicing before the bar in this county over thirty years. Bourbon Mirror. Troth, no doubt. Senator Reeve is a bundU of nerves and contradictions. An honest lawyer a partisan who thinks for himself, a politician without personal ambition. lSvUibly. considering his culture, the roughest spoken man in the district, yet the kindest hearted. No hungry man, woman or child ever departed nnfed from his diwr. and he js often imposed upou by unworthy " applicant for charity, m spite of his shrewdntvs. Few, not persomillv acquaint ed with him. will believe these things of Ch.irlev Reeve, yet they are true.

The Florida Traads. Po!itie;d in.!e( have airain l--n thrfivvn
into a f-verii-h state of cwitemerit over tiie ronf-.in uf Dcnni and MtLin, Biciaww f the Honda elction returning lo.ird. The coufes-ion of I-nnij ia as follows: Wamiinot April 2, 17". I have resihd in Abu !;na county, Ilori-la, Mince .lium.irv. 1 ''. Bu-J wa ei'vt-i to Die state assembly in l"T(j nt the saine time of the late preid-nt iai ci'-eti-'n. I was at that time a member of the state i-ntnd eomniitt1 of the Reiubli-an T'iirty of Florida, and al t hainnan of the Republi can eoiurrntte r,f Ai.u hna county. I was aNo president of tlie comity commi-'-ioiiers j of Alachua, county from l"s7: to 177. and was familiar with tlie manner of registration and the manner of voting, the location of tW poll, ar.d S.U other election machin ery. As ptvsiilen. of said !ard a.id with tlie consent of s.iid Ixxirl I located all the polling places, a pj minted all the inpectors who cnnhurt.'d the election, receivel and counted the ha!!-.fs. and made and certified to the returns. I apjoint'd as jniqiectors of Archer pre:inct, box No. 2, Green, R. Moore, lloyd Duke, ar.d Richard H.Rlack. Thomas D." Vance went at my request to An her precinct on the day previous to the election, and was appointed by the inHctors clerk of election s.t x No. 2, and wrve-l as such. 1 was at Gainesville on the day of election, and on that night and the day following my residence was the lieadqusirters of the Republican party, and during the night preceding the election all information was brought to me there. Some time after midnight ot that night, inspector Black came to my house and reported to me that the result of the election at Wis No. 2 for presidential electors was as follows: For the Hayes electors. 10: for the Tilden electors, l'V,. A little later Vance, clerk at said box No. 2, came and made the same, report. .Subsequently both Rlack and Vance came to me and said they had the returns from Archer precinct, box No. 2, signed blank by the inspectors, and that they would make out the returns so as to m-et the expectations of the'r own party. They retired to a private room, where they remained two or three hours, and then informed me that they had added about 2XI r.ames to the poll-list as having voted, and had increased the Rcpublie.an vote to that extent, and I afterwards learned that they had added 210 names to the poll-list. 1 entered the room while they were employed there and saw them copying names from the county registration list upon which those who had actually voted at Archer precinct box No. 2, were checked oft", and new n Ames were selected from the names of the Republican voters who had not idready roteil at that precinct. After completing the returns in this manner they tiled them with the ballot-box with the county clerk. The county commissioners, met a few days alter the election, the Uiard, consisting of I. K. "Webster, clerk of the court, W. H. Helton, justice of the peace, and Louis A. Rarnes, shentf, all of whom were Republicans. During the canvass inspector Moorfe appeared before the board and submitted an affidavit to the effect that the returns from Archer precinct, box No. 2, were false; and that they should lv. For the Hayes eleeto-s, 180 votes; for the Tilden electors, RKJ votes; but the board decided that they could not hear evidence as to the truth or falsity of the returns, and upon tlie face of the returns the vote or the county was as follows: For the Hayes electors, 1,U84; for the Tilden electors, 1,2117. The result included 219 votes for the Hayes electors which were added to the votes cast at Archer precinct box No. 2, by "lack and Vance. I hse returns were sent to the governor and secretary ot state. Alter these returns were filed with the secretary of state, an effort was made to inv;iLd'te them so far as Archer precinct Ikix No. 2 was concerned. Affidavits signed by Floyd Duke and Greene R. Moore, and an official statement from Mr. Webster, the clerk, were filed with the state canvassintr board, for the purpose of showing that the returns from Arjher precinct, box. No. 2. were false and fraudulent. It also appeared that Mr. Helton, justice of tne peace, nau noi signeu uie return iueu with the secretary ot state ana governor One cf the duplicate returns was sent back to Alu:hua county, and Benton's signature obtained. Moore was also induced to make a counter-affidavit denying tlie truth of his former affidavit. A counter-affidavit was also obtained from Floyd Duke denying his former affidavit. The grand jury of Alachua county investigated the Archer precinct matter but fiuled to find any fraud, and psissed a resolution to that effect, whereupon Mr "Webster was induced to withdraw his statement and make another to the effect that he was satisfied that the return was all right. Then affidavits and statements wer laid lief ore the state canvassing board a' u ; he returns were counted. This result a a e the Hayes electors two hundred and n.'':it jen votes more than were cast for them I :te nwr heretofore made any written stat tent or given any evidence regarding this jM&tion in Alachua county. L. t. Dennis The above was sworn to in Florida before a justice and is certified by the secretary ot state. An interview with Tost Master General Key. the repentant Rebel of the Cabinet brought out tlie following opinion: I have always believed that Florida and Louisiana were countea tor Hayes wrong fully and that the electoral votea of .oth states should projwrlv have been counted ior Jililen. I workeu strenuously ror lu den both before and after the election and indeed m:ule a speech in the senate during the electoral rteliate m which. 1 argueu as stronc-lv as I knew how, that Florida and Ixmisiana Wlonged to Tilden. It was after that that Mr. Hayes paid me the extraordi nary compliment of inviting me into his cabinet. 1 went into his cabinet a demo crat, believing iliat Tilden wax elected, and mv views have not been changed on that subject. I believe Mr. Haves, however, to be an honest man. X Know that, he honestly iimiKs he was elected, and whatever may have been the frauds practiced in the states above named. I have iroo.t reasons lor knowing that .Mr, Hayes was no party to them. Therefore, no matter what may be the future develop ments in the matter, they shall not. influence my action, I will remain in tlie ca tiinet :is long as Mr. Hayes will be pleased to have me there. Concerning Morton aiso one of tlie return ing Board Conspirators, Mr. Key said: About the time I bee-ame postmaster min eral, congress red need tho-a impropriation for the special agents service ot the postolhee department, and 1 found it necessary to re dnce the number cf special agents. Know ing comparatively nothing of the depart ment at that time, I requested Judre Tyner, my first assistant, to make out a list of six agents to be dropped. Morton was a sjieeia! sgent at the time, and when the list was made out Morton's name was among the six. Ihe agents were written to, noti fied oi' the necessary reductions, anil their resignations asked. Thev all immediately resigned, as requested, Put .Morton, who came to "Washington, and ca'.uiii- at tlie postolhee department, he reminstrated ara;nst his removal. Tlie circumstances of the reduction were explained to him, and he was tout that there was no complaint against him. his nvord in the department being perfectly good. I told hiiu it was on account of the ret! need appropriation: Jhat sameiKxty tuid to be dropped, and it hapIenei unit ne was one oi me uniortunates lie told me that Presideni Haves was in debted to him for having Florida counted in his favor, and that he went down there, traveled about the country, and utter encountering all sorts of d.mrer he managed to get three counties in which tlie democrats had giiined majorities thrown out. He said that had it not been for hini Florida won hi have lvn counted for Tilden. Finally he closed by saying 'I think you had l-etter keep me in office, as I can injure vou if you do not. I told him I would think about it. At the same time I thought it very strange for a special agent to leave his business and then afterwards confess that he had taken part in any such an affair. However, I spoke to Mr. Haves about it. The president told me that "he did not think a man of that kind ought to he kept in office ; that a special agent had his legitimate duties to perform, and that Morton bad no right to go down there and meddle with the count, and, according to his own statement, he did interfere in an
ilb'g.d manner. So far as his threats were roiici-med, tlie pn--ideiit sid he mirht do his worst; as be (the pre.ident) had done nothing of wlii' h he t j-i.am-d. r.r that would Biiike hi ni afraid of the threaU. Morton did riot n-ign, an was removed. Il ti.en went to N.'w York, and was next h'-surd from in Florida. A Washington correiiondent add-". Tlie statement so !": -n repeated, that Mr. McIJn and ex-State S-n.:tor Dennis :ire actuated in what they have done by bitterness of feeling against the administration for its inattention to them niid disregard of their claims, will not ix-ar investi
gation, ill" fact w, Mr. Hayes has, from the !ird. evinced a particular desire to o ever) thing lie could looking toward the re cognition of both the gentleman named, and toward satisfying all their demands upon him. To this end, he appointed McLm to the position of I'nited Mates judge ot New Mexico, and after his nominatir.ii had licen rejected by the senate, proposed to renominate him, but, for some unknovn reason, Mc Lin is said to have refused tie offer. A statement contained in a dispatch from Florida, to the effect that ex-ritate Senator I-nnis had received several notes from .Mr. Hayes, seems to lie true to a cer tain extent. The notes in question seem to xs ir.noceut ones, however, and looked only toward the recognition of what Mr. Dennis n gardi'd as his claims. At first the gentleman inline. J wanted a consular appointment, but failing in this, he sought a position in the tre-.isury department. An in vestigation in that department reveals the fact that the followinjr note, written in lead-pencil on a sheet of note-paper, bearing the words executive mansion, printed in blue, was among his recommendations: Executive Maxsiox. "Washixoton. April 1M, 1877. Dear Sir: I am reliably assured that L. G. Dennis, ot" Florida. would make a capital special agent of the tntisury. 1 respectfully rtesire that his claims should have your favorable atten tion, sincerely, 11. li. JIayes. Upon this indorsement, which is cer tainly all that he could have desired, Mr. Dennis was appointed special agent of the customs bureau of the treasury, and sent down to examine collectors of customs at various ports of the southern states. After alout two months' service, however, he was removed from the place, and has not since been reappointed. A reporter for the New York Sun inter viewed, Dennis a few days ago, and among other things "Dennis went on to say: " I don't mind saying that I am certain the state of Florida went for Tilden on the face of the returns, and that he should have hiul it. I will go further and say that there has not been a time hi tlie past three months when, if I had been convinced that crushing proof of the fact that Tilden carried the state would turn Hayes out and give Tilden his rights, I would not have gladly furnished the proof. I knew that if my proof went before congress no man could stand up and vote to keep Hayes in his seat. I told " Uncle Hen " (General Butler) what I could do, and while he thinks Hayes should be turned out he thought it best to wait till some action had been taken by congress in the matter. I talked with Senator Hamlin aliout it also." President Hayes knew all. " Did the president know that you had these facts in reserve? " "Of course he did, all the time. Noyes and the rest of them told him. I met him frequently, and he always treated me very kindly, saying he had been told about me. He gave me notes to the departments, asking that I be given a p'.ace. I wanted to be an auditor, and I declined three places, holding one only a few weeks." "Why, then, do j-ou oppose Hayes? " " Because he is a traitor to the party that put him in, and treated my friends badly. As Conkling says, if the country only knew Hayes as well as congress does he would be despised on all sides. Noyos knew of every movement that was made in Florida, and IIaes knew it through him. I know this to lie true, and can show it when the time conies." For The riymouth Democrat. Our Paris Letter. Paius, April 11, 1878. Somebody has said, that Americans make the best Frenchmen of all tlie foreigners who flock here from all parts of the giolje; and from what I have seen of our beloved countrymen abroad, I am inclined to Ix'lieve that such is really the fact. Tlie English are always English, and promenade in IiOndon styles on the Hue de Jtiroli, affect nothing but dog-carts and drays on the Boulevards and in the Bois de Bologne, and, when they condescend to learn French, never sjieak it -without the peculiar nasal cockney twang of Piccadilly. The Russians of w horn there are always a large colony here, are intensity liusse in everything, and spend more money on diamonds, champagne, and questionable women, than all the other foreigners mt together. Tlie Germans, of whom we have also a great many here, are, as a rule, of an economical! turn of mind ; patronize cheap restaurants and third-class hotels, and assimilate with nothing as readily as beer. They are the least popular of all the foreigners hero, for Paris lias not yet forgotten 1871. But an American has not been a week in Paris before he waxes his moustache, buys a plug hat of the latest Parisian style at Chautils, sports lavender kids and a whalebone cane with an ivory leg lor a handle, wears narrow trowsers, a rightly-fighting cheviot sackcoat, and patent-leather boots, and says " au ploisir? " and "pardon monsieur,'" every five mimites! During the last fortnight, every train Irom Calais and Havre has brought a swarm of Americans to Paris, most of whom intend to remain here during the coining exhibition. Go to any of the firstelass hotels, the Splendide, the Louvre, the Grand Hotel, or Hotel de 1 Athence for instance, and you will find crowds of them. Jiitnonx, on the Bouhrard de.t Italiens; Cafe L'iche on the ISouh-rard dex Capurines, seem to possess peculiar attractions for young and flush America, who may be seen here at luncheon and dinner every day. l'.iii.Ha's is the headquarters of Mr. 'James Gordon Bennett, proprietor of the" New i ork Herald, who takes his meals there, and always sits at the same little round table, in company with three or four friends. The, Trois Frerex, in the Palais Royal, and I'rfourx, ie with Bitnons and the Cafe Biclie in point of excellence, ele gance and comfort, but are chiefly patronized by Englishmen and native Parisians, Americans preferring Bianonx. It was G. H. Butler, that delightful Bohemian, I believe, who remarked that a breakfast at BiymiHs is a poem, and a dinner at the Cafe Jiiche aliberal education; and those of my countrymen who are surfeited with our dyspeptic way of preparing viands intended for human iligestion would appreciate the force of tliis remark. It is yet too early to derive much pleasure from a visit to the exposition grounds, wh-re everything is still ia confusion: but from day to day, order is envoi ved from chaos, and by the first of May everything, with the exception of the United States Division, will be in apple-pie order, and our Commissioners are doing all they can to make, at least, a respectable show at the opening. Among recent distinguished American arrivals are Mr. and Mrs. R. II. D.ina, (Mr. Dana is a grandson of the poet Dana, and his wife a daughter of the poet Longfellow); and Mr. Stoughton our minister at St. Petersburg, who is here on a brief preliminary visit, making arrangements for a longer stay during the exhibition. Mr. J. Russell, tlie New York Ih raUl correspmdent, who accompanied ExPresident Grant on his trip on the United State Steamer V and ' iliti, is also here; and Mr. Bayard Taylor, our new minister to Berlin and Samuel Clemens. Ix-tter known as " Mark Twain." are expected to arrive in the course of a few day. The Wheelock engine, built in "Worcester. Mass., w hich is to propel the machinery in the Ameri-.m section, is now lieins erected, and will bo ready for its trialtest in a few days. Though inferior in nkm
to many of the engines in the Fr-n h, En-gii.-h. and eniuin department, it is compared favorably with them in workmanship and finish, suid I was told by the engineer in charge tii.it if work aim's! noi-ek--.. Strange to say. Kmpp, the fanxwii gun manufacturer of Essen, m Khenish I'ns.-ia, has, so Lir ii'nn,- of his cannon phicvd in position; perhaps this is a -oint of delicacy, however. l-aue Pari.4 saw, and felt rather too much of the Krupp cannon in 171. Hie monster gmi whieh he had on exhibition in Philadelphia- in l7'i, has l-n purchased by the Russian i Jovernmetit , and now forms an important and fonridable part of the imminent of the fort Crointa-it, in the Baltic S'a. Tie- r-eer,t, order i ai"d by the art confmittee, of the French commission, that no jmintiiigs commeunvi-atii.g seem from the late Franco-German war would lo allowed at the exhibition, has given rise to considerable dissatisfaction among some of tlie leading French artists, who had painted
battle scenes with trie express purjsise ot exhibiting them to the world at the i 'htxmii de Mnrs thii summer. But this order wv.s made imperatively necessiiry by the action of the Enqnror of Germany in prohibiting German artists from contributing pictures of the Siege of Paris, battle of Sedan, aud similar scenes by no means soothing or complimentary to the French. So that the Art Gallery at the great International Exposition of lf-CS will bo neutral ground, where both nations n.av meet without stumbling over anything that would rip up wounds that have "scarcely healed yet. and give rest to many a " xar're! " and " Don'ueriretti'r! " from both Cauls and Teutons. Mr. Pettit, the French architect who superintends the erection of the American annex, has very nearly completed this part of his work, tlie front or facade having been placed in position. The canvas screen, which it has leen found necessary to stretch across the roof, are also in place, and will bear favorable comparison with auftftw? of the kind ir the Exhibition. Each'scr-vn bears the nan e and device of one of the States of the i rmon, and in tlie centre is a grand design representing the arms of the United States. The colors are very bright, and the ornam mtal designs very chaste and effective. The designs on the screens are so arranged as to form lines running the whole length of the building, so as to drawout the perspective lines and make the United States section appear as long as possible. Even if we are limited in space, we are bound to make the most of what we have, and by a little innocent optical illusion "make," as the Parisians say, "the sausage look as big as possible! " Louis. - The Lat Rev. Andrew Mackle. The following is the substance of remarks made by the Rev. Mr. Faude, at St. Thomas' church, on Sunday monung last, relative to the late Rev. Andrew Mackie, whose death and funeral services we recorded last week: It is but a few days aince there came the dread message of the death of one who was well known in this parish and diocese. Tlie startling' news was only slowly mid gradually comprehended, and the fact we can scarcely yet -ealize. It brought genuine sorrow to the hearts of all who knew him, and dismay to not a few. The Rev. Andrew Mackie, M. A., entered into rest on Monday morning, April 2o, 1878. His illness had been long and wearisome, though in the last few weeks attended with but little pain. All that medical skill and loving care could do was done, but without avail. The disease which had so long been eating at his vitals, came w"ith its sharpest attack when the frail mortal was too greatly reduced to resist. The blow thus inflicted is a sore one, not only to his family, but also to his parish, to the clergy by whom he had latterly been surrounded, and to the entire diocese. As husband, none could bo more affec tionate, truly loyal, and -considerate v S'ho first sweet days of early wedded life seemed never to have left him, but each day brought, if that were possible, added tenderness, and study to please her who was his helpmeet, who was his confidante in all tumgs, small and great, and whom he hon ored with a devotion well nigh sacred. It was tlie love of Christian man and wife. undiminished by the flight of years, which was theirs. As father, he was more than indulgent, loving his children with a passionate love, serving them with an almost slavish servitude. . In our prayers let us beseech our Lord God to hare mercy upon the fatherless children and the iridoir. His death will be felt by the Diocese at large. He was more than an ordinary man among men of his calling. Superior bdents and a thorough education supplemented by studious habits and devotion to the cause of Christ made him a high place in the councils and esteem of his brethren. Tlie positions of Deputy to the General Convention, Trustee of the General Theological Seminary, Chairman of the Committee on Canons, Examining Chaplain to the Bishop, and Dean of the Northern Deanery, show that it was with no moan appreciation of his merits that Fushop, clergy and laity regarded him. Commanding in appearance and manner, grave and dignified, yet cheerful and cheering, he won the admiration and respect of many who knew hiiu but slightly; while his warm heart, his gentleness, his strong manly characteristics made it impossible to really know him and not to love him. One of the strong points in his character was his fairmindedness, based upon the largest possible Christian charity. Though keenly aware of the. faults and failings of others (perhaps few saw so clearly as he the hollowness of too many men and women), it was mainly of their nobler qulaities that he spoke. The higher aUrilnites of miiS"viduals most delighted him, while to hear of evil was pain to liim. Repeatedly have I known him to offset the faults of an individu;d with his merits and to plead that no mi xi should be wholly condemned because of certain faults, grievous tliougli they night be. Injuries to himself he never avenged, slights he scarcely noticed, though like all men in his position he had abundant opportunities to do so. Even while pointing out certain faults of men to be slunned, he could see redeeming characteristics and hold them up for admiration. Jealousy and envy found no place in his character. The successes and achievements of others Were as great a gratification to him, as though they were his own. He would and could do nothing to undermine tlie prosperity of another. Akin to tliis magnanimity was his desire to do good to individuals. Not content with treating with the masses from a lofty position, he loved to reach individuals, to aid and benefit them. None whom he thus approached could doubt as to his entire disinterestedness. It was not for popularity, or power, or influence that he sought to do good to others; it was in pure and simple fulfillment of the law, "thou sha't love thy neighbor as thyself." He was ever fearless in the expression of conviction. Though 'unwilling offend" or give pain by doing so. he never shrank from a I told statement of what he believed to be right, nor from condemning what he believed to be WTong. With all Lis learning, force of- 'Jiaracter, and sturdy qneiitiea. he possessed an almost childlike faith and trust in the overruling
Providence oft;.?. In our m.if'-ri.di-tie ttgv it is a source tf strength l know one
who tirrniv l-I,eves that is a strong Toi 'er of delYnee, to all th An I I believe it was the secret of" all his liofcie equalities of head and heart. I r-iie-m!-r once after he had toib-d ter many uays ar.d weeks over a matter of deep toacern to hini, be said at length, " I almost fear the end, but the Lord will order it for our good." It was said with an utter absence of cant or affectation, and in tiie natural manner of one to whom God was no stranger, but a friend. Upon another occasion he was preaching on Christian Unity, and iii speaking of its restoration, after por traying its blessings and the absolute need of it, be sail, " i is coming, we cannot setit. but it is there,'" ain't here his countenance lighted up with an almost heavenly joy which no actor on earth could counterfeit, a perceptible tremor was in his voice as he spoke that sentence of loving trust " and i rx'jf ap2viit!:d time it will be here," and I felt sure it was not mere pulpit bilk, he thoroughly believed it. Oh! lor more sucu trusuui natures : His devotion to the church from a :horough conviction of Her superior claim, was another prominent feature of his character always, and everywhere did he staunchly defend the honor and fair name of the Church, as one who feels that he is indited wedded to a bride chaste ami pure for whose unsullied name he stands resonsible. It was his delight to speak of II er as a Church, of law and order, which at times might be oppressive to individuals, but tlie good of the whole demanded ready and willing obedience. Admitting tlie fact that changes in tlie Church's polity might seem from time to time, to be demanded, he ever loyally upheld a rigid adherence to existing laws and usages. To him the Church was of Divine origin, but in the hands of fallible men, for whose fallibility' he entertained the largest charity. "His loss will be sorely felt in the Northern Deanery. Before his caaonical residence was taken up among us a speeiid request was made to the Bishop for his appointment as Dean, though not a member of the body. It is no discredit to lus predecessors in office to say that never before has ltd efficient work been done in tlie Deanery as during Dean Mackie's tenure of office. He labored persistently, during recess as well as during sessions, to make the meetings profitable. The result has been shown in many ways, and not iusignifieiuitly by the unprecedented huge attendance of the clergy. His own earnestness and interest was contagious; he won tlie admiration and esteem of all his brethren, his counsels prevailed, his advice was followed, and tne future of the Deanery promised many beneficed results to the Church. May his successor be as faithful and as Successful. In St. Thomas' parish he was well known, and endeared to all who knew him. Some of you he has baptized, many of you have received the Sacred Elements of Christ's Body and Blood at his hands, to all if you he has spoken a kindly and a cheering word. I need not speak to you of his pulpit ability. Y'ou have heard him with pleasure and profit. The noble thoughts presented by liim and repeated among yourselves and to me, may, I trust, be now indelibly fixed upon your minds and hearts for instruction and amendment of life. To me, personally, he has lieen more as a father than as a friend; more as a guide than as a companion. Words are feeble to express the loss to all with whom he had been brought into contact. A good and noble man has been called from earth. While we would hold up no mortal as a model for others, we can say, with special reference to him, "Almighty God, w7e give thee hearty thanks for the good examples of all those thy servants. who, having finished their course do now rest from their labors. And we beseech thee that we, with all those who are de parted in thy holy Name, may have our perfect consummation and bliss, both in body mid soul, in thy eternal and everlasting-glory." Pr.
