V*’o lure published this celebrated descriptive

is ever. Correspondents from all parts of the

than a year past to reoroduce it for their benefit,
and in compliance we ©uce more present it to

A. M. Wynn received a dispatch
obile yesterday .that Bishop An-
that morniMtj>myd that the
funeral would take place Jttk-duy (Thurs
day) jt|4 o’clock. Ho was' one of the
most brilliant lights of Methodism, upd
amopalhe most remarkable men of the
day. \ His loss, though expected, will be
sadly felt by all Christians. Rev. Mr.
^Yynn, of St. Paul’s Church, was raised
and educated by him, and be was the
only father that minister ever knew.
James Osgood Andrew was born
Elber$ county, Ga., in 1793—hence he
waaeeveoty-cight years old at the
of bw jdeath. He commenced preaching
whence was eighteen years of age, and
entered the ministry in the South Caro
lina Conference, which then embraced
Georgia and Alabama h» 3813, at the
ago qf twenty. The now venerable Dr. L.
^ie^fci^lhen T&siOjqg^EId^nd ;
commended tlie young iicenCiateior tile’
ministry. Dr. Pierce was eight years
the eldest. The deceased Christian
ordained Bishop in 1832. In 1844,
after the division of the Northern and
Southern Methodists, he was continued
Bishop of the Church South, and has
been Senior Bishop since that date.—
His place of residenco was Summerfield,
Ala.
An action of his let! to the division of
the Methodist Church. He married
lady who owned slaves. At a session of
the Conference in New York, Bishop
Andrew was requested to resigu by many
of the Northern ministers on this
count. The Southern men deeming the
request an insult to them, submitted a
propostion for a Christian parting and
division of property, which was accept-
ted. The separation was effected,
year elapsed and it was found the North
wanted all the property. Suit vi
menced by the South for her share, and
both the Courts below and the Supreme
Court of the United States decided
favor of the Southern church. It i
at this time that Henry Clay, a warm
friend of Bishop Andrew, remarked
the spirit of prophesy, that the Northern
fanaticism of that church was the enter

Lodoed in a Palace.—Tho magnan
imous Dominican Government, when
the Commission reached the city of San
Domingo, tendered a palace for its occu
pation. Tho World’s correspondent
says :
When yon read of their being cour
teously offered a “palace,” ami of their
taking a grand house, yon must under
stand these phrases as used in a strictly
Pickwickian sense. The palace which
they declined to occupy resembles a
Roman hospital with all the windows
knocked out and the stairways gone to
seed. The gentlemen of the press who
took possession of it when the Commis
sioners politely gave it the go-by, and
got themselves cooks and caterers, and
hoped to fare sumptuously every day,
have ever since been deserting by squads,
until the chief of their number are now
installed with myself in the city’s hotel.
The grand house which the Commis
sioners took contained nothing but ficus

In “the Stomach as a Rese.vior,’’ by
Dr. Lewis, the following amusing story
told. The patient, Colonel B.——,
had suffered fifteen years from vrhafc he
mpposed to be rheumatism:
“He often comes into advise with me,
and never fails to show his favorite toe.
I never allow such an occasion to pass
without repeating, in one form or
anether, my belief that whenever he
can come down to simple water, and a
plain diet, he will get well. On the oc
casion of snch a visit recently, I said to
him : ‘Colonel, T wish to prescribe for
yon.
What other plea remains unspoken
other lips thairmiue must urge.
He that hath eyes to see, let him see.
That will settle the question; for he
will be sure to think the palpitations all
on his own account. He will gaze with
awe, admiration-longing, ou tho lithe
figure, the ripely-rounded form, aud how
is it possible for even Heaven to provide
earth with such a miracle of enchant
ment, grace aud beauty.
Aud yet, ho wonld shrink from the
thought of “Palpitating Pads.”
Enough. My plea is cuded.

“Colonel, I think you will be inter

made, and which I am snre, if you take
the remedy faithfully, will cure you.’
“Well, pray tell me what it is, for I
would give a fortune po be able to ran
about as I did thirty years ogo.’
“Colonel, the now remedy is know ns
protoxide of hydrogen.’
“Prot—prot—ox—ox—what did yon
say it was* ? Speak that again.*
“It is protoxide of hygrogen, Colo

“You will have to write that for me.

‘I really believe, Doctor, that at last you
begin to understand my^ case. I have
always told you that if I was ever cored,
it would be witiT some new mineral
water, or some such sort of stuff; some
thing that would drive out this misera
ble devil in my foot.*
As the Colonel was about to leave, I
said to him:
'Colonel, I don't know but I had bet
ter give yon the common name for this
new fluid, for the drnggeet may not
know it by the scientific name.*
‘Oh ! well, if there is a common name,
tobe sure you had better give ik*
‘So I took the proscription and wrote
the word ‘water.*
“Bat,* said the Colonel, patting on his
glasses and reading the new word, ‘is
not that water?*
“Yes, Colonel, that is it. Protoxide
of hydrogen is tho scientific name for
water, and I never was more certain of
anpthing than I am that if you will con
fine yourself to protoride ot hydrogen,
leave your brandy and champagne, those
inflamed joints will get well.”
