.MINISTERS AT HOME. KOW SOME OF NEW YORK’S FA MOUS PREACHERS LIVE. Bishop Potter's Flat Archdeacon Smith’s Brownstone Front-Dr. John Kell and His Magnificent Establish ment. New York, Dec. 17.—The Right Rev. H. G. Potter, Bishop of the Episcopal churches in New York city, is a man of al most military bearing, decisive and quick in speech and action, aud yet with a fine sword’s edge polish about it all. A promi nent leading member of his church said of him: "No wonder things move under his direc tion ; all Bishop Potter needs to do is to look at a thing to make it start.” His form is erect as an arrow, his hair is iron-gray and he has the conventional Eng lish cut to his whiskers by which almost all Episcopal clergymen are distinguished. He las more than his whiskers to make him somewhat English in style, for his accent is distinctively that of a Britisher. His voice is clear and resonant. Like most of the prominent clergymen of New York, who have princely salaries, he lives in accord ance with his income. He does not have a house to himself, hut he rents a flat in a mag nificent building where some of the very wealthy people of New York have their resi dences. It is in the same building that young George Gould established his house hold 60on after his marriage with Edith Kingdcn, the actress. Rents in that build ing vary from $2,000 to $7,000 a year. BISHOP POTTER. Bishop Potter lives in a flat that is sit uated about half way between the ground and the lofty top of the building, but that does not signify anything as to its price or desirability, because the system of elevators has been introduced there and makes stair ways disappear ns an element of comfort or discomfort in an apartment. His windows overlook the easternmost shrubberies of Central Park, and are, therefore, very near the corner of Fifty-ninth street and " Fifth avenue. To all callers who approach the building a liveried footman opens the outer door, one similarly garbed manages the dainty elevator, but a modest maid servant takes the caller’s card at the massive door of the Bishop’s private rooms. These flats are arranged, to a certain extent, after the manner of line private houses, with a ves tibule in which the caller sits until his card has been referred to the resident within. The rooms of Bishop Potter’s apartment are large, light and furnished with all the luxu ries known to the modern world. Every thing is arranged in the most artistic and attractive manner. The furniture is of the costliest and most expensive kind, and the decorations of the room, not only those placed there by the builders but those added by the Bishop, are all of the highest degree of finish and elegance. A full-sized Ra phael is the most prominent painting on the walls, which are nearly obscured with numerous pictures. It is the only feature of the apartments that might mark the ec clesiastical character of its distinguished occupaut. A comfortable odor, neither of roast beef nor perfume, but suggestive of both, pervades the atmosphere. One gets the impression from this apartment that it is the home of a wealthy society man of cultivated taste and a disposition to get every comfort out of life possible. Next to Bishop Potter in prominence in the Episcopal church is Archdeacon Mackey Smith, a distinguished looking man, six feet lu height, of massive build, but not over weighted with flesh. He has a smooth round face that does not look like that of an Amer ican, and is set off by a business-like mous tache and a fine p-.dr of dark eyas that glance all about a person and not through and through him as the Bishop’s do. His manner is dignified and much marked by bouhommie, and he seems to have a sensib.e modern way of looking at tilings that is refreshing end entertaining in one of his calling. He occupies an elegant brownstone front on Fifth avenue, near Sixty-sixth street. It overlooks a most attractive sec tion of Central Park and is far removed from the turmoil and bustle of the great city. When one enters the house the first thing that arrests his attention Is a full-sized statue of the Venus de Medici looking at one from an alcove near the stairway. Many other classical worksof art, both in statuary aud painting, are to be seen in all parts of the house, aud a distinguishing feature of the decorations of his homo is a collection of expensive and interesting bric-a-brac. A liveried butler bears the caller’s card to his employer on a neat silver tray. If the caller is not personally known to the Archdeacon he is requested to write a short message out lining bis business, and for this purpose the butler presents him an oblong tab, elegantly mounted inoxydized silver, which is carried on the silver waiter to the inmost penetralia of the house, where the Archdeacon con siders the matter and sends out his answer. Another distinguishing feature of this estab lishment is the perfection of the butler, who has been well-trained evidently and fits ex cellently into the semi-ecclesiastical position which he occupies. THE BEV. TIB. JOHN HALL. Another tall, distinguished looking man, at the head of an ultra-fashionable church, is Dr. John Hall. He is u Presbyterian and his church is located on Fifth avenue. He has a round, smooth face, keen but smiling gray eyes, full of intelligence, and slightly projecting teeth, a trait in physiognomy that is said always to coincide with great sturdiness of mentality and unusual execu tive ability. Whether this coincidence is general or not. it certainly applies in this ease. Dr. Hall is one of the most methodi cal and business-like clergymen in the New York pulpit. Everybody who lias seenliini has remarked with amusement the striking resejpblance between him and Col. Robert Ingersoll. He receives his regular parish calls in the morning hours, excepting on Saturday and Monday, in the best parlors of his ultra-stylish home on West Fifty sixth street. His conduct of the matters that arise in the parish and that are pre sented to him in these calls is marked bv great tact and precision. He disposes of ail business of the above nature that comes before him much after the manner of a judge in court. He never seems in a hurry, hut never wastes a second between the sto ries and maintainstrictly a rule that par ties shall see him in proper rotation accord ing to the time of their calling. Of his house nothing can be said further than that it is one of unusual elegance and comfort. His id-’me is rather above that of most suc cessful business men. He not only has bis salary, which is said to to $20,000 a year from his church, but he gets u handsome re muneration from the New York Ledger tor a weekly contribution to the amount of about a column of matter to its pages. In fact, bis pay for the Ledger matter is quite as much as most of the successful managing editors of great dailies get in any pari of the country. His income is further in creased by rather numerous contributions to the great periodicals of the country. Dr. Hall is essentially a society man, aud if it were not for his remarkable business ability he would not be able to dispose of his parish work with sufficient promptness and allow him the social diversion which he takes. His house is the scene of frequent receptions and he goes out among fashionable people a great deal. His manner of living is that of a formal society man. For instance, when evening comes lie puts on evening dress aud never fails to defer to the canons of society In all matters that appertain to formal in tercourse with people. In his social rela tions he does not impress one as a clergy man, yet knowing that that is his calling, it is easy to see that his manner is’influenced by it. One who did not know that he was a clergyman might take him for a culti vated man of wealth and leisure. THE KEV. ROBERT COLT.TER. An influential and famous clergyman, whose life is in marked contrast to these three, is the Rev. Robert Callyer, pastor of the Church of the Messiah. He lives in a brick house that is less than modest in ap pearance and is one of a long row of houses on East Thirty-ninth street. He looks like a hale and sturdy yeoman of a past age. His hair is white as snow, his cheeks ruddy as midsummer apples. No butler guards him from intrusion. He requires no card or other password from any person what ever who may choose to call upon him. An ordinary housemaid sees if Mr. Collyer is iu, and if he is he comes down to meet his guest. His rooms are furnished with exceed ing simplicity and yet not aesthetically. There is plenty of provision for sensible comfort there, hut nothing that appeals to the sense of the luxurious, unless it to a long bookcase tilled with choice works. His library consists very largely of the works of British authors, Dickens, Scott and others of their stamp being represented by full sets of their writings. There are a few mod ern works on metaphysics and science. One cannot help the impression, as he looks in upon the Kev. Robert Collyer’s quarters, that a conventional old maid would make things look more presentable. There is a general air, boto in the man himself and in his surroundings, that betokens an un conscious disrespect for the conventionali ties of modern life, and, possibly, a lack of appreciation of what is regarded as most desirable in appearance. F. R. Burton. ON A HOWLING DRUNK. A Former Pastor of Albany Raising Cain in Alabama. From the Albany (Go.) Newt and Advertiser. The following sensational dispatch to the Memphis Avalanche will be read with in terest mingled with regret by many in this city and vicinity. The Rev. Mr. Graves was for two years pastor of the Presbyterian church in this city, and led an exemplary life while here. He ieft here in 188; i, anil left a good many friends who will be grieved by the news of his downfall: Birmingham, Ala. . Dec. 10.—The usually quiet little village of Marion, this State, has been all torn up this week over the es capades of Rev. 7. B. Graves, a prominent minister, well known throughout the State. Graves, it seems, arrived there a few days since, accompanied by bis wife and two children. He put up at the King House and immediately proceeded to ge„ on a howling drunk. He frequented low groggeries and cut up all kinds of pranks about the hotel, flourishing a revolver and threatening to kill his wife and children and himself. The citizens were horrified at his actions and finally determined to put a stop to his capers. Accordingly a writ of lunacy was sworn out, and officers and a number of citizens went to arrest him. He was found in a beastly state of intoxi cation, but became terribly enraged when an attempt to arrest him was made. Rev. W. H. Richardson tried to qujet him, but was struck in the face and cursed for his trouble. At last Graves was seized by three or four strong men, carried to jail and locked in an iron cage. Next day Mr. Graves’ uncle, Dr. S. L. Alexander, of Montgomery, one of the most prominent physicians in tl*e State, was telegraphed for. He came im mediately and at once made an effort to have Graves placed hi an insane asylum. It was too evident, however, whisky was the trouble, and he failed in his efforts. Asa last resort the disgraced min ister was furnished with a ticket and suffi cient money to carry him to San Antonio, Tex., where lie has a brother. Mrs. Graves and her children were taken home by Dr. Alexander. All looked well for a quiet end ing of the affair, but Graves, instead of going to Ban Antonio, lauded in Greensboro, a small town twenty miles from Marion, and is on a wild drunk and threatening to kill himself and anyone who annoys him. This is not the first time he has been in trouble. A few weeks ago Graves came to Birming ham and went on a big spree. He visited several disreputable places In a hack, finally ?uarreling with a hacknmn over his pay. ie was locked up in the station house over night, but several ministers kept the matter out of the papers and hushed things up. The church officials will not look into the matter. Personal. Mr. N. H. Frohlichstein, of Mobile, Ala., writes: I take grea< pleasure in recom mending Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption, having used it fora severe at tack of Bronchitis and Catarrh. It gave mo instant relief and entirely cured me and I have not been afflicted since. I also beg to state that I had tried other remedies with no good result. Have also used Electric Bitters and Dr. King's New Life Pills, both | of which I can recommend. Dr. King’s New Discovery for Consump tion, Coughs and Colds, is sold on a positive guarantee.
