It has bo. n a matter of some sur* nine that, ont of tho multitude of 'isoopal churches with which Washington abounds, tho j residout should have chosen the very oldest and shabbiest of them all as his rog- ularplaco of worship. Sunday morn ing he may bo seen walking uuatten ded, like the humblest citizen, across evergreen Lafayette square with its brown general in the middle which lies between the white house and tho moss-grown sanctuary, whorein he quietly takes his pluco iu the old pew that Madison occu pied nearly sevouty years ago. Sev eral of the early presidents attended this church, but for more than a quarter of a century it has been en tirely oat of date, and neglected b} modern greatness. For President Arthur this ancient sanctuary has more sacred associations than mere ly historic, aud like Longfellow’s Village Blacksmith, iu the music of the choir, he hears a dream voice “singing iu Paradise." Many years ago the lady whom he married, Miss E. Herndon (daughter of a naval of fice; 1 , thou stationed at the National observatory,) was a membefr of St. John’s choir, and it is said that her sweet soprano voice, filling the moul dy old placo-with melody, first at tracted tho attention of an’unassum ing young lawyer, who happened to be spending a Sunday at the capital and idly strayed into St John’s—Mr Chester A. Arthur by name. Depo nent said he did not become acquain ted with the lady of his love at that time, however—nor until eime years later,when her ialhorTay at the bot tom of the sea, anu her widowed mother and herself had sought a homo elsewhere. The gallant Cap tain Herndon, who before his duties in the observatory here bad saved in the Mexican war and commanded a United States expedition to ex plore the valley of the Amaeon, was subsequently commander of the steamship Central America, which in 1857 wentAown between Hava na and New York, with over four hundred passengers and more than two millions in gold on board. About onejthird of tho nassqngers^ere sav ed , including all the women, and childien. But the faithful captain, post to the last, and wont down to tue unkuowu depth with his ship. It was when her yonng life was shadowed by this great sorrow that Ella Herndon mot her future husband in New York, whither the broken family had gone to establish n new home, Theirs was a genuine love-match, with which many romantic incidents were connected. That the president is still faitbfnl to her memory is proven by the fresh flowers which bis own hand everyday wreathes around her portrait that hangs in the white house chamber at the foot of his bed where bis eyes can look uoon her the last thing at night and the first thing on awakening. She is haul to have been a lady of lovely charac ter and rare iutelligeuce, with a tall and graceful figure, and many claims to personal beauty. 8ho was foud of society, had muob of that charm ing tact that stands a woman in hot ter stead than genius, and would in every way havegraoed bor husband’s prosent onerous position. A loneli er man, or one more at a loss for the elements which the social exigencies of the executive mansion demand never lived in that obeerless abode With bis children in New York, his wife in her grave, bis household made up of clerks, messengers and servants, his home life must be blank. Beautiful Tribute to Chief Justice Warner. Communicated. East Maoon, Ga., Feb 8, 1882. Mr. Editor: Dear Sir—You know we have no paper < n Monday morning; they let us rest while they gather a double quantity for to-morrow. It is quite a relief, but for that fact, the expec tation of a double dose when does come. But wo look for it with much unxiety, I suppose for its va riety, as thai is “the spice of lifo.” Did you ever thinli bow perfectly it defines tho word, variety? It tolls us a little about the divim; services, a little about the distinguished visi tors to and from the city, if there are any, a little about tho difficulties of the police force, a little about who occupied the barracks last night, a little about the court next day, a lit- t1o about the many fiagrunt crimes committed at borne and abroad, a little about the many disastrous fires occuring overy night, a little ab ut what they are pretending to do iu Congress, a little about the distin guished murderer, nod now rod then a fiiug at the Atlauta gobblers. It heralds at homo und abroad till the bad slanders aud scandals of the na- ti‘ u; and it forms a battle field for tb.i politicians. It is truly a su face on wh ch flouts all tho mean things that ever a man did who of rs himself lo the public. When ever his moan acts begin to rise, the apparition goes down into the mud au i s'irno, pulls up even his mean est thoughts, ami if none can be found, then success dep ud- upon sarcasm, and who can perpetrate the biggest slander Now, all this may bo right for the newspapers, but it is not for the people, because it is con trary to the word of God. Tho only difference I can think of is, that God made man. N w, it may be that the papers can be ixcused ou this plea Have you noticed bow our er uses the name Parson on Dr. eltoD? I can almost see the curl of sarcasm on the lip when they set it up. It almost makes a wrinkle in the paper. You know that is t' e way they talked about our Colquitt, but when the water beuan to gut hot they denied it, just as they may have to do in the pressnt case This is the wav it is, let a good man offer himself to the public und yon hear it start, “Parson" hold your prayer- meeting.’ " The Parson has quit the party. I do hope the Parson will come down on them, like Samp son, with tbe jaw bone of an as->, or some othor deadly weapon, and kill out about three thirds of them (as my countryr friend said) and give us a free and independent government, and let the people choose at the bal lot box, whom - they will serve,, or whom they will havo to serve them. But I am not a politician, neither have I fallen out with tbe paper; I go to the door two or three time? every morning,looking for it,and it it is not there Ispeak evil of the con cern. But this is oniy a proof that I am depraved and prone to do evil. But when I began I thought to write a little about my own business and surroundings. But, as I am somewhat limited in my resources, I had best save a little for the next time. Yours very truly, Ben L jGNDY, The Herald & Georgian fbtf only $2 per year.

F. L ou, It. 1>. Trippe, W. W. Mont gomery, W. A. Bulkins, J. W. Park, reported and read a beautiful mo morial of the late Chief Justice Warner, which was unanimously adopted Addresses wore deliver ed by Z. D. Harrison, Justices M Crawford, and A. M. Speer, and by Chief Justice Jaokaon, and wo give give below the beantifnl and toaoh ing address of Chief Justice Jack son: Dufore directing tbia truthful and appropriate memoir of the iilaatrious dead to bo Spread on the uinutea ol this court and stereotyped apon the pages of its report, tbe impnlse of my heart, no |e«s than the proprie ty of mv position as hia suoeeesor in this high oflice, which be adorned so long, prompts me to add a word to that whicn has been so well said A member of tbe general assem bly of 1845, which selected the jus tices of the first supreme eoart of Georgia and a democratic represen tation therein, it beoame my dnty to assist iu the cauons of tbe party in namiDg one of the lawyers to bo placed on the supreme beoeb, then tor the first time organized by law. So muoh brighter shone tbe lustre of one name above all othereof that arty for judicial talenta, illustrated y eminent service on tba circuit bench that onr task wan ana? and tho choice immediate, unhesitating and unanimous. A boy, some nineteen yearaof age loft his patornal home in New Eng land to seek fortune and fame in u laud of strangers. His only patri mony was the intellect tbe great fa ther had given him—his only assur ance of success tbs consciousness of its possession. The few dolls in his pocket when he embarked woro lost in shipwreck; severe ill ness, nigh unto death, followed that disastet; the charity of the sisters of mercy at Charleston, where first he lauded on southern shores, nursed aud restored the penniless lud to health; alone, nnfriended, be wend ed hia way to Georgia, and finding an acquaintance in tbe teacher of a school at Sparta, this acquaintance was inform-d of his sit nation, be came a friend and employed him as Ids assistant. Thus in the daylight ho earned his bread in the sweat of his fact-; at night, ha poured ov. r the pages of a book, which became, with another book bis mother had given him, the occupant of ids cham her to the day of his de -tb. One of these books contained the funda mental stones of the English law, which tho genius aud labor of Black stone had dug out of the chaotic ubbish where they had lain for years hid from the mass of readers, and discoverable only to the inde fatiguble student after arduous search. The other was tba work of the Great Law-maker, which the trusting faith of a New England mother coufided, wet with tears aud sanctified by prayer to the hands and heurt of her wandering boy. Upon a thorough knowledge of the one was built that legal and jn dioial faino which will endure while Georgia lives—"esto perpetua;" on tho other that faith which called the Rev. Dr. Boggs to his dying bed side, ’which made that divine bis constant visitor during his protract ed illness, and which induced tho doctor to say in tho miduiabt ser vice that pteceded the carrying hi remains to Greenville, that he had confidence in his faith in Christ as his Savior, and a good hope of his eternal peace in tbe heaven of the Christian After a short sojourn in Sparta, Crawford county beoame his home; a seat in tbe general assembly from that connty lie filled fot years; thence, as you have- heard, ha re moved to Talbottoo; thenee ou jus election to the bench of the Coweta circuit, to the residence near Green ville, his until death, and now aud for generations to com*, we trust tho home of bia descendants. Thus the poor, wandering boy, by successive gradations, with unfalter ing footsteps and unshaken faith, ascended the stairway of Fame’s lofty temple. Legislative and con gressional honors^ fori osio and legal distinction were acquired and left behind; and be sat there in tbe s > renity of a protracted evening of life, clothed in ermine of tbe finest texture which Georgia ooold wrap around him filling the full stature of the garments so exactly that it seem ed the rdbe bad been made to fit ev ery limb of the wearer.

You know I have bo u long a believer iu the religion of Christ ” I did know it, for often in this room when his health was good, wi had conversed on the subject, com. pared with whioh law honor, eurtli- y emolument and glory sink into in significance.

The breust which nourished his helpless iufanoy a as the iustrumeut iu God's hands to administer comfort in the feeble ness of age, and solaco and hope in tho hour aud agony of death.

Iu Europe every girl learns cook ing as au art, and that part of hor education is as osseutial as that of r ading or writing. Bvury restau rant aud hotel has a iiumbor of these voluuteers, who pay for tho privilege of tne tuition of a chef, in ad dition to which they do work around the kitchen. No matter how rich a man is, Lis daughters must learu in this manner, go that they can super vise (he household aud learn to cook well and economically. This cus tom has been imported to thiB coun try iu a different iorm, and is now permeating tbe East iu the shape of schools of cookery. In Europe tho girls are also taught cookery in the schools, and the oon-tequouae is that they are wiveB in fact as woll as in name When girls iu this oonntry stop looking down on housewifery as dishonorable, and begin to learn cooking as an ait, they will ail pass out of tbe state of single blessedness but until that time the crop of old maids will continue to increase alar mingly.

Hancock is still at the Southern. Lie was np pretty early this morning, aud was kept busy refusing tbe cards which were sout in uumbers to liis room. A Post-Dispatch reporter called on him, and found him not at all rufllod by the attention paid him. Ho had only one fear and that was to bo in terrogated on political questions. “What do von think of the Dem- 'cratic outlook?" asked tho repor ter. “Oh, I don’t wish to talk npon that subject." “Not evon in a gonoral way?” “No, not this tiuiD.
