VIRGINIA’S OLD CHURCHES.
Interesting Lecture by W. S. Bogart at
St. John's Parish Hall.
Mr. W. S. Bogart delivered his lecture
on ‘"Virginia's Churches and Church
Life” before an appreciative audience at
St. John's Parish Hall last night. Mr.
Bogart is well known as an enthusiast In
Virginia's history and traditions,
and, having visited all the old
churches of tbe State, his lec
ture was replete with interesting
facts gathered from personal observation
and study among the monuments of the
past.
The leertirer was introduced by Rev.
Charles H. Strong, rector of St. John’s
Church.
In beginning be referred to the earlv
civil and political history of Virginia and
the changes which the State had under
gone in her great career, and opened bis
lecture proper with the foundation of the
Church of England upon American soil at
Jamestown on the 13th of May . 1C
vears ago: afterwards reviewing tub in
dividual historv of the principal churches
of the State which have become land
marks in her history. The only memorial
now left of the first church at Jamestown
is a portion of the tower fast crumbling
aw av and the stones that cover the dust of
its dead. Its records are nearly all gone,
but some of the peculiar customs and laws
in force have been handed down to history.
In those days absence from church was
an offense punishable with a severe tine.
Two sermons were delivered on Sunday
and one on Thursday. If a parishioner
was absent from one service without
satisfactory excuse, a fine of one pound
of tobacco was imposed, and for continued
absence corporeal punishment was in
flicted. Tobacco was. in those days, tbe
circulating medium. Tbe salaries_of
ministers were paid in tobacco, and in 1770,
the minister of the Jamestown Church,
received a salary of £BO. which was equiv
alent to 13,320' pounds of tobacco, the
average price in those days being 2d. per
pound. His salary was also a lien on the
parishioner’s crop, which could not be
sold until the full salary was paid. In the
second church built upon the same site
as the first there took place in 1614, 270
vears ago, two historical events —the
baptism and marriage of Pocahontas. In
1676 thisehurch w*asburned,and the third
was erected on the same 9pot as the first
and second. The silver communion ser
vice taken from its altar is now in the li
brary of the Theological Seminary at
Alexandria. Among the other old
churches, the speaker alluded to that at
Williamsburg, w hich is to-day in a com
plete state of preservation and contains a
number of monuments and tablets w ith
quaint inscriptions. Its paten and chalice
were said to have been of solid gold. One
hundred yearsbeforeWashington w as born
-t. Luke’s Church was built in Newport
parish, and is now used once a month.
St. John's church at Richmond was
prominent in the political history of the
-date, but with no claim to age. Patrick
Henry’s battle cry, “Give me freedom or
give me death,” first rang out within its
walls, and on the same floor the American
Demosthenes pictured the tyranny of
British rule. The oldest regularly used
church in the State is St. John’s, at
Hampton, in which there has been no
interruption of service for 234 years.
After reference to the churches at
Elizabeth and Yorktown the lecturer
proceeded to St. Paul’s at Norfolk, which
still shows in its walls a cannon ball tired
during the "days that tried men’s souls.”
The edifice was erected in 1739 upon
ground donated by Samuel Bush, the
Mayor of Norfolk, whose silver mace still
remains In the church archives.
Christ Church at Alexandria, the parish
church of both Washington and Lee. holds
a page in the history of the State.
The pew occupied by Washington,
with its silver plate l*earing his
name,is reserved for strangers and visitors
who attend the church to-day. In the
same church Gen. Lee was’baptized and
confirmed. In the eastern wall are two
memorial tablets, one iriseritied to the
memory of George Washington and the
other “Robert Edmund I.ce.”
With a reference to Christ Church in
Lancaster county, built in 1732,the lecturer
closed bis review of the historical edifices
of the >tate and turned his attention to
the customs of the church people and their
life, and developed a narrative which
held his audience interested to the close.
THE GEORGIA HUSSARS.
Preparing for the Charleston and .Macon
Tournaments.
The Georgia Hussars have accepted the
invitations extended the troop to enter the
Macon tournament next month and to tilt
at Charleston on the 17th inst. A practice
tilt will ta£e place at the Ten Broeck
track next Wednesday, when the troop
will be divided into two classes—the
first class,to be composed of members
who have been successful on previous
occasions at the head and ring, to which
three prizes will be offered. The second
class w ill be composed ol unsuccessful
contestants in former tilts, to which two
prizes will lie offered.
After the practice the Charleston team
w ill be selected from the members who
have ma^ j the best score. A lively in
terest is taken in the contest, and an in
teresting practice is expected. The
Charleston tilt will be followed by the one
at Macon on the 28th and 29th of May,
w hich tbe Carolina Light Dragoons have
already entered. The ,Vews and Courier
boasts that the Dragoons will “send a
squad over just to show the Georgians how
the Carolinians tilt.” The fact that the
Hussars and the Dragoons will meet at
both places is an assurance of an exhibi
tion worth seeing.

A great deal of amusement resulted from
the contest, and the good feeling which
prevailed was one of the features of the
occasion. The only “goose egg” scored
was by Henry Kolshorn, who remarked,
as the marker signaled a clean target,
that he “knew the shot was no count.”
His wind gauge was not. out of gear, but
it was out of beer, and he took occasion
to see that it was all right during the re
mainder of the match.
SUED FOR SLANDER.
An Interesting Case in the City Court
llrought by Win. Kehoe Versus
Iternard Monahan.
The attention of the City Court was oc
cupied yesterday with the case of Wm.
Kehoe vs. Bernard Monahan, an action
for slander. The case attracted con
siderable attention from the fact that both
parties are well known mechanics and at
the head of large shops in this city.
The plaintiff alleged that Mr. Monahan
had said that Mr. Kehoe was a defaulter
to the extent of about $12,000 to the firm
of William Kehoe & Cos. The plaintiff
proved by Mr, Sullivan that Mr. Mona
han had used the words complained of to
him on or about August 4, 1883. The
defendant denied havihg used any such
words as were accredited to him, but said
that in answer to an inquiry from Mr.
Sullivan be bad told him that a recent in
vestigation of the books showed that there
was a deficit of about $1,290, as he
learned from Me Smith, who had been in
vestigating the books. Mr. Smith then
testified that such a deficit existed, but
was known to bint and bad been reported
by Mr. Kehoe before any investigation was
made. Mrs. Monahan testified that Mr.
Kehoe had reported to her in February
that there was a deficit of about $1,200,
caused by defalcation of the bookkeeper,
and that Mr. Smith’s investigation was
made to ascertain the condition of
the business, and that Mr. Monahan had
never used any words derogatory of Mr.
Kehoe to her." All the evidence of the de
fendant went to show that he had said
nothing derogatory of Mr. Kehoe in con
nection with the business of Wm. Kehoe
Jfc Cos. No attempt to justify Ihe words
spoken was made, and the whole defense
consisted in denial of the fact that, he, de
fendant, had saiil words derogatory of or
concerning Mr. Kehoe.
At the conclusion of the argument the
jury retired and returned the following
verdict:
April $, 1884.—We the jury find the de
fendant not guilty.

President Mitchell, of the Augusta,
Gibson and Sandersville Railroad, savs
that tliirtv miles of the route are already
under contract for grading, and a bid is
in from Grant & Janies, the largest rail
road contractors in the State, for the bal
ance of the route. They propose to finish
the entire work as soon as desired, and it
is probable that the grading ot the whole
line will be under contract by the 10th of
April.
Counsel for the Illinois Central Rail
road Company have filed a long bill in the
United States Court against the
Railroad Commissioners of Mississippi,
praying an injunction enjoining them
from every variety of interference with
that road. A similar bill, It is said, is iu
preparation bv the Mobile and Ohio Rail
road, and one by the Mississippi and Ten
nessee Road. The Natchez Railroad will
also test the matter.
During a stroll through the car shops

The uniform scale of prices, the eloganee
of cuisine, the comfortable, cleanly and
home-like appearance of apartments, have
placed this popular hotel among the most
prominent of the South, which reflects
great credit on its manager, who leaves
nothing undone to enhance the comfort ot
its numerous natrons,

Argument.”
Mr. W. B. Lathrop, of South Easton,
Mass., under date of January 7, 1884,
says: “My father had for years an eating
cancer on his under lip, which had been
gradually growing worse until it had eat
en away his under lip down to the gums,
and was feeding itself on the inside of his
cheek, and the surgeon said a horrible
death was soon to cotne. We gave hint
nine bottles of Swift’s Specific and he has
been entirely cured. It has created great
excitement in this section.”

The wonder of those who go to the Har
nett House, in Savannah, is that so excel
lent a table and such comfortable rooms
can be offered to the public at such mini
mum rates. Without exaggeration, the
table of the Harnett is as good as that of
the Screven House, and the rates just one
half as large. Courteous treatment makes
up the sum ©fits attractions. The public
largely testified their appreciation.—

This Year’s Easter Cards.
The popularity of Easter Cards appears
to be on the increase. The favorite festi
val of the Christian Church throughout
the world, everything that honors its ob
servance, appeals to a large portion of the
public. But apart from this the fashion
of sending cards at certain seasons has
become more usual from year to year, and
perhaps at Easter is the more appre
ciated, as it is not a time when gifts of a
more important character are given, as
they are at Christmas. The beauty and
value of these cards is largely dependent
upon novelty of design, and those now
on exhibition at Messrs. Davis Bros.’ the
art stationers, show’ a variety which is
really marvelous. Cards of every size
are designed by well known artists, and
many of the most beautiful are reproduced
upon satin, and mounted in different
ways. Prices as low as usual. —yew

I HEREBY certify that I have carefully ex
amined, by chemical analysis, the Rve
Malt Gin, manufactured by 11. H. Shnfeldt A
Cos., in Chicago, and find it to contain the nor
mal proportion of juniper, unaccompanied by
any injurious or deleterious aromatics. This
property, as tvell as its pleasant flavor, ren
ders it superior as a pleasant stimulant
diuretic, and it may, therefore, he highly
reconimended for administration in all cases
in yvliich such an agent is indicated. Com
pared with Imported Gins, simultaneously ex
amined, it was found lo be superior in ail the
particulars herein mentioned.

POISON
In the blood is apt to show itself in the Spring,
and nature should by all means l>c assisted in
throwing it off. Bv. ill's Specific does this
effectively. It is a purely vegetable, non
poisonous remedy, which helps nature to force
all the poison or taint out through the pores
of the skin.
Mr. Robert A. Easley, of Dickson, Term.,
writes, under date March 10, 1884: “1 had
chills and fever, followed by rheumatism, for
three years, so that I was not able to attend
to my bneine6s; had tried almost every kind
of medicine and found no relief. A friend
recommended Swift's Si ecific. I tried one
bottle and my health began to improve. I
continued until I hail taken six bottles, and
it has set me on my feet, as sound and well as
ever. I recommend it to ail similarly afflicted.”
Letters from twenty-three (23; of the lead
ing retail druggists of Atlanta say, tinder
date Marcli 24, 1884: "We sell more of Swift’s
Specific than any other one remedy, and three
to ten times as much as any other blood medi
cine. We sell it to all classes, and many of
the best families use it as a general health
tonic.”
