MB. MOODY OVKRHADLED.
A Virginian’* Resentment of *n Altered
Comparison of the Rvangallst.
‘•There is excitement iu_ religious
circles here."* a Bichmoud special
of Dec. 22, “over a card attacking
Dwight L. Moody, the evangelist,
published to-day by B. D. Cove, a
prominent citizen. Moody had been
invited to come here on Jan. 4 by a
petition signed by several hundred
citizens. Cove’s card sava that in
April, 1870, Mr. Moody, at a meeting
in New York, used, language “char
acterized by a narrow, sectional, con
tracted prejudice, not countenanced
in any gentleman.'* Moody, he says, In
illustrating the difference between
Christ and Satan, spoke of Generali
Lee and Stonewall Jackson as re
sembling the latter, “in their religious
characters worse than the followers
of Mahomet. In morality the hie of
Nero was white as the driven snow
compared with theirs. Their lives
and actions more lorcibly represented
the character of the King of Dark
uesa than auy names which my
know ledge of the world’! history en
ables me local! to mind since Judas
betrayed the Lord of Glory.” Proceed
ing, Mr. Moody, Cove says, “robbed
heaven of Its glory and God of Ills at
tributes with which to adoru his hero
Grant, his ideal representative of
Christ ”
Cove concludes by declaring that
every Virginian “with any preten
tions to r*|>ectability” is proud to
"claim acommoo citizenship with the
immortal Leo and Jackson, proud
that Virginia had such Christiau he
roeato offer to the service of their
country. They were our Icadets,
representatives. We loved them ill
their lives and their memory is dear
to ns still, and will over be. We were
partioeps cr!minis with them, and
Moody's abuse ol them was equally
an abuse of cadi one of us who fol
lowed these peerless patriots. Our
land ami cause went down. With
them we suffered, and their religion
and piety as good and exalted Chris
tian gentleman as Illustrated by their
daily lives In every phase of their ca
roer,is exalted enough for us,and I do
not hesitate to assert that the immac
ulate Moody could sludy their char
acter* with advantage lo'hlmsdf and
the cause which lie professes to de
sire to promote.”
Sinco the above began to circulate,
Mr. Moody has gone to Richmond,
and successfully refuted the charges.

More than 6,000 Octogenarian* Teach
the tLMon of Correct Living -
The Population of Connecticut was
in 1880, about 622,000. It ia iucreas
ing. and during Uit preaent year will
without doubt, roach 780,000. In
January, 1084. Mr.F. 11. Nash, of
Westport, the legislative reporter for
the Standard, undertook to gather
statistics with regard to the number
of aged peoplo iu the State. He be
gan by interviewing members of the
the two houses of the legislature, to
learn what they knew of the veterans
in yeaVs of their respective town*.
From mauy lie obtaiued complete lists
of living old folk*, from other* par
tial lists, and from all such informa
tion a* put him in the way ef reach
ing the end desired.
Statistics were consulted,'old people
were interviewed, and correspond
ence established with people in all
the towns, who wore likely to possess
thetdformalion desired. The number
of persons interviewed could not have
beuu loss than 10,000. In September
6,223 names had been recorded, and
the work was Jdono. During the
ten months’ labsr 23 centenarians
were discovered, three of whom have
since died.
This iuycstigalion afford* evidence
that the duration of human life in
this Slate is greater than it was a
generation ago. Then only one per
son in 500 lived to see 80 year*. The
number of ages ranging from 84 to 89
years is large, and those who are 99
and over number 651, nine are
99, thirteen arc 98, and eleven are 97.
No age of less than 80 years ha* been
recorded.
It may be pleating to oitr grand
mothers to know that in this list of
more titan 6,000 more than 4.000 are
women, and that only eight of ill
twenty eentonarians are men. The
list adds strength to what
has already been held as true that
married people livo longer than aiu
gle, and it also shows that two spin
sters have begun their second century.
They are accompanied on the lists bv 1
two sturdy bachelors, who, in their
second ccutury, will perhaps see meio
to admire in the fair sex than they
did in the first.

The result of the semi-annual ex
amination at the Military Academy,
which has been in progress since Jan
uary 2, has been announced, and crea
ted much excitement in the corps, as
the number who have terminated
their military career so abruptly is
very la-ge. The fourth class alone
loses twenty-five percent, of its mem
bership. Five from the third class
were returned to the fourth class.
Cadets Alexander, of the third class,
and Young, of thp fourth, both color
ed and hailing from Ohie, are doing
fairly well, the former ranking about
,19 iu a class of 76, and the latter in
the neighborhood of 50 in a class of
76 members. The second class 1* com
posed of solid men, as I* shown by
the fact that with a membership ol
82. an unprecedented number fora
second class, not a student was found
defective and none ware turned back.
The first class is a very small one.
It numbers 39, and all of ita members
will probable graduate. Among the
“slain” is Congressman Ketchum’s
appointee, young Csdiuau, of Hudson.
The list shows that high and official
stations do not protect the incompe
tent student, for in the list are found
the name* of Butler in lire third and
Williams in the fourth class—the
former a son of Senator Butler and
the latter of General William* of th*
Adjutant-General s Department at
Washington.
DR BARNET’S FAMOUS PATIBNT
Death at a Physician Who Oin Stone
wall Jackson a Lease of.Life.
I)r. Lawrence Barney, et Hender
son, whose dealli was announced on
Thursday, says the New York Even
iug Post, was one of the most noted
physicians in the northern part of the
Stale, and was at one time President
oftho State Medical Board. In the
spring 0f1855s man. wasted almost to
a skeiton by dyspepsia, was taken to
Dr. Barney's house on a bed by friends
in this city. lie was Capt. Jackson,
of the United States army, and was
taken to Dr. Barney as a last re
source. The doctor had hitn taken
into the house, and, after several
mouths, sent him hack to his post, in
one of the forts in this harbor, a well
man.
At the first battle ol Bull Run a
relative of Dr. Barney, who was Ma
jor of the Twelfth Artillery Regiment
was killed. Seme of liia comrades
who were bearing hi* body from the
field, were captured by a detachment
of the Black Horse Cavalry. Soon
afterward* a general officer rode up
and, learuiug that the the dead officer
was a relative of Barney .directed that
the body be embalmed and the men
released on parole to escort it to Dr.
Barney, with the message from
Stonewall Jackson that this act was
done in token of gratitude to him for
having saved his (Jackson’s) life when
he was dying of dvsiiepsia.

Mrs. Sarah E Tamer and Iter moth
er, Mrs. P E Bryan, for nineteen
years residents of Humboldt, Tenn.,
make tho following stalewents as to
the merits of Swift's Specific. Mrs.
Tuner's ease is well known in that
community. She says:
“I was afflicted for two or three
rears with Eczema and Erysiplas
comblnd. My whole system was
oroken down, my strength and appe
tite gone, and I became as helpless as
a child, being lifted from place to
place by my fYicnds. I was treated by
the best physicians in tho commun -
ty with lodide of Potaih and the oth
er usual remedies for soett cases. I
was given up to die by tny friends.
My sufferings were beyond descrip
tion, and I had lost all hope of recov
ery. Last January I was induced to
try Swift’s Specific, having received
a pramphlet from the company de
tailing its merits. The first half do
zen bottles had Hie effect to bring
back hope to my heart, aad the
thought of being well again brought
joy and gladness to ttie housetiold. I
have taken altogether 24 bodies. The
sore* have all hcaiek up and disap
peared; my strength has returned,
and I am able to do ail kinds of house
work. Swift’s Specific. I honestly
believe, matched me front the grave,
and I do not known horn to be grate
ful enough for my recovery.
Mbs. Sarah E. Turner”
I know that S. S. S. has saved my
daughter's life. She was tho most
wretched lookin object that I ever saw
when she commenced taxing it being
perfectly helpless. I thank God that
weever heard of it. It has saved my
child. Mrs. P. E. Brtas.
