|joim Albert Broadus was born Jan-
,ry 24, 1827. Like other boys be went
icbool and learned to read and write
cipher. When he found that toe
ith turned around he became much
died ancj ‘ to * <1 toe wonderful news to
little colored playmate; tout he never
uld convince the boy that this was
it "It couldn’t be so,” he raid, "for
all the water would be spilled
t of the well."
Besides the advantage of good I
(tools John A. Broadus had the bless-
,’s at pious and educated parents,
r a number of years his father was
member of the "House of Delegates
Virginia.” und was remarkable for
business qualities and good com-
sense. In due routee of time he
:sme & etudent In the University
Virginia, and took the degree of
.eter of Arts In 1H.M, During toe same
ir he was married the drat time
d was also ordained to the minis-
t*. In 1851 he received toe arppolnt-
[ent of adjunct professor of auclens
iguages In the university, and also
ame pastor of the Baptist church
t-neriotteevllle. His prafeauorshlp
itlnued for only two years, but he
«lned iBstor of the Charlottesville
/to tor eight years, during two of
aw,, is. (-.a*, chnjplain of the
dverslty.
’???' whl ' e still pastor at Char-
^sville, he was edeoted professor in
Theological seminary, then about
to established at Clreenvllle. South
-oilno. nnd In th.
•eeond wife, Mini Charlotte Slnclairo
r mature reflection he accepted the
'logical prafemorshlp, wtoloh, at the
of so many sacrifices and at times
m of privation, be has retained ever
■«: and as useful as he might have
ft near the University of Virginia,
Is doubtful If he would anywhere
ftjjren a* useful as In his present
torn-tly after the establishment of tho
■oinary the cdvll war came on, and
r re were few students at the aemlnh-
|. *s nearly all able-bodied young men
Mr'd tho smmy. During one session
. v/ wm* a single student only present,
i\ had but a single arm; yet the
|ofew*TT lectured to him faithfully
f *°mo irtonths.
Pt was at this time—during toe dark
ff* of factional strife—that Drs. John
Broadus and Basil Manly. Jr., and
*hw, at the Sunday school board of
‘ southern Baptist convention, Start-
Kind Words,’ the Sunday school
|I* r of the convention. At that time
|1 from 1868 to 1888. Dr. Broadus was
T*spotuilng secretary of the Surolay
•°ol board of the Southern Baptist
tivenrtlon. He was also ait different
pastor of five br six country
i • hes In the vicinity of Greenville,
Uth Osrollns. Soon after the war he
*k a trip to Europe, and traveled
hough the Holy Land.
In tbe Southern Baptist Theological
Imtnary he taught the Interpretation
I the New Testament, and the prepn-
Slon and delivery of sermons. He bail
arge also of the funds contributed for
rportlng at the somlnary those stu
nts whose pec unbuy means were
is doitatful if there wse a more
ned or better read man In the South
In John A. Broadus. Certainly there
'none better adapted to the position
-upled. As a preacher he was al-
I unsurpassed. While apparently
J'n and simple, his was the plainness
If-Tfect mastery on the subject matter
to the simplicity which Is the perfection
r-
'r-onally he wse amiable, affable, un
noted and gentle, but plain spoken.
'M with remarkable tact, buetnees cs-
fi'y and good Judgment, be wss pos-
['d of a wonderful knowledge of hu-
v nature and strong common sense,
theme qualities untied to his Indus-
[and untiring energy, enabled him to
**•’>1 In whatever he undertook. While
1 learning was great, his penetration
* keen and discriminating, and his
f'r of analysis remarkable. In the pul-
I he united simplicity of manner with
f r ne*s of expression and great pathos.
I hi* terraons he devoted careful prepa-
l ! >n. and yet when delivered Hey were
(bunds of a fall heart. He was a

change on March 24. He Is said to be a
young mac, and cornea to New York with
a record of success In the South. His
flrst acquaintance with the members of
the congregation was made In a very pe
culiar way. He was visiting in this city
last September and chanced to attend a
prayer meeting at toe church and made
a few remarks at the meeting. Some
members thought be was a minister, and
on Inquiry that fact waa learned to be
so. Ho preached on the following Sunday
for them and his style and eloquence
were much admired. About thta time
the church waa thinking of another min
ister. but through some fault In delivery

fication of hla oall. Tha members then
set about to secure Mr. niackbum.

preached for them. On January 1 last,
final arrangements were completed and
he agreed to accept the charge. He

he found It possible to assume charge

regular pastor of the church since a year
before toe death of Dr. Charles “

and Atlantic Railroad Company, and
Lawyer Julius L. Brown, attorney for
tbe receiver, who waa d la missed re
cently on account of claiming a Tee of
135,000, wtoloh Receiver Stahlman con
sidered exorbitant, haa not ended yet.
Major Stahlman Is out today In a long
card. In which he laughs at toe asser
tion of Mr. Brown that he secured tola
(Stahlman’s) appointment aa receiver,
and sneerlngly refers to Mr. Brown’s
expressed desire to try hla cose In toe
newspapers. Major fitahhnan says Mr.
Brown bad no more to do with Ills ap
pointment aa receiver than a babe un
born: that toe sinrjdy drew the order
aa the paid attorney of the company, at
the direction of hla employers. He
raya 'Mr. Brown has done only a very
little work aa attorney for the receiver,
and tost there la not a lawyer In At

London, 'March 10.— 1 The greit Inter
est which lus been arousal in too auc
tion of toe oleot'xm of a now speaker
to succeed itfao Right Honorable Anti or
\Vellcely Peel bus boojtue helgumod
somewhat since tt Is known ’that toe
retirement of -Speaker Peel and the se
lection of his Buccessnr Is (likely to in
volve a change In tho personnel of too
cabinet. If Sir William ICuwurt
should succeed In persuading h'a ool-
lcugues to accept the nominee for the
■speakership, iMr. Trfomrd .H. Oourtney,
-who occupied the position of deputy
speaker from 1880 to 188(2, tho situa
tion would be mtule leas complcatwL
Mr. Courtney, it is iKdieved, would bo
able to secure the chair In a struggle
against the conceded nominee of too
conservative*, dir. Matthew White
Ridley. AanoDg toe radicals there Is
a feeling against IMr. Courtney, butt al
though thta fleecing Is strong, '.t Is not
sufficiently Wtter ito afford any mate
rial assistance Ito the opposition '.n se
lecting a speaker. Sir William Har-
court is oo greatly '.Mtererited In tho
cauu.uaey vf -Mr. CuilTtSej ttit -
personally canvassed the radicals ot
the bouse of commons ln bis behalf
against Mr. II. OampbdU-iBannerman,
whose election Is really desired by a
majority of tbe ministerial party. Gos-
In the lobby of toe house of com
mons has. associated Sir William Har-
cocrrt’s Interference in tx-liilf of Mr.
Oourtney agaimh Mr. Bannerman with
a personal lnalinationato secure tho
Hl/.ukerslilp for himself, but If the can-
lialacy of the ch'incellor of toe ex- don
choquer has ever boon enitertalned the
dea has been oontlned to himself, os
Is regarded aa wholly Impractica
ble. Agiidt from the fact thi- he la G(1
years of ago and the addfriooal faot
that his dofootlve eyesight Is getting
worse, he Has other physical disabili
ties which would render It jmpoa-dbie
for him to discharge the dutU-s of lh«
speakership. Tbe speaker Is somq-
t mes compelled to sit at h's jwat fix
hours wlhout Intermission, and tots
would be tmpowtMo, tor 8 r William.
However, since a majority of toe mem
bers of the cs-blnet have mtcrtcd Mr.
Campbell-Bannerman as their candi
date for speaker und that gentSem.in
haa accepted the nomination, X a-p-
poirs to be settled that he will be the
next Incumbent of the office. Thus toe
... iFT-t=“ to bs settled. The op
position, rank and flic, admit toe emi
nent fitness of Uhe present secretary of
state for -war for the place, and It a
quite probable that his nomina tion will
be made unanimous.
Mr. Gladstone Intimates thitf he will
make bis roappearanoe In parttameni
on the occasion of Mr. reel's retire
ment, ns a tribute to the departing
speaker.
The Chronicle In an article on the
probabilities of the succession to the
speakcritolp forecasts the rearrange
ment of the cabinet In event of Mr.
Campbell-Bannerman's election which
It regards as almost certain. The as-
slgments according to the article are aa
follows:
Mr. Henry Fowler, at present aecreta-
/ for India, secretary yir war Mr.
Jiflm MorCey. chief secretary for Ireland
secretary of state for India: Mr. Her
bert Gladstone, (list commteatotKT of
works, chief secretary for Ireland.
It Is pretty certain, however, that If
this programme I* carrlel out toe Irish
nationalists will vehemently oppose the
substitution of young Mr. Gladstone
for Mr. Morley. The suggestion of toe
retirement bf Mr. Morley from the
Irish secretaryship and the withdrawal
of Mr. Campbo'.LRannenman from the
war office a« this time, however, may
so -tor-eaten to disturb the ministry
that a change will bo caused In tha se
lection of a speakership candidate.
Mr. Peel's resignation will not he
submitted until the return of the queen
from tbe continent.
Mr. Hugh Eveiund Hoare. radical
member of parliament from Cambridge
shire West and other anti-Turkish mem
bers ln the radical section have re-
oently been trying to obtain the pub
lication of a coUeotkm of diapatchea
from Mr. HaDward, British vice con
sul at Van, in regard to toe Armenian
atrocities. The Armenian association
professes to have learned that Mr. Halt-
ward dilates upon the Armenian hor
rors. not aa Incidents, but In evidence
of th‘ increase of their brutalising In
fluence upon the Armenians themselves.
Tile fotiden office has ref usd. to cau««
the publication of tho dispatches on
the ground that their publicity would
prejudice tbe case already under In
vestigation by the Armenian oormnla-
alon of Inquiry.
Mr. Hallward stems to have lent an
ear to tbe Armenians who. too corre
spondent of toe TeCegrapfa at Kara
says, are “gifted with a faculty of ex
uberant lying far beyond any other
people and are ready to Invent san
guinary battles and blood-curdling maa-
fararcB to a degree of coherence and
Plausibility tost would put FUlstaf!
ing that the publto service was being
Injur'd ‘by the immense subsidy to
novmpaptas. Two memb.-rs of the body,
wealthy newspaer owners, defended
■thepres- ntsystum and traced the deit-
o>ncy ln the revenue of the telegraph
department to the extravesant prices
paid for the purdue- ot rights', equip
ments, etc., under which the state ac
quired control of the telegraphs from
rlvuito companies. In this connection
the newspaper owners are uBqeuaUon-
ahly rich:, -r i: i - a i urn. r ->f m.-Gory
that oovruptlon ruled the purchase by
the state of the rotten lines v/t y :h
tho government acquir'd from private
oontpaulcs which were nearly banrupt.
The government officials and othere
wdio were Interested in rite transactions
now that in suen a ring rhv plunder
os toe price of their support pnd the
press obtained tho establishment of a
press rate which toe government ac
tuaries or.-jtially declared that tt
would -be tmpossibla to make pay under
any circumstances.
For a. quarter ot a century the press
has thus drained from the -public funds
a revenue which no government during
that time has had the couraqe to op
pose. Although to- telegraph system
of Great Britain 4s well organised the
service cannot compare in nny respect
with the telagraph service In the
United States which la conducted ns a
private enterprise. Still the Brltlto
system Is drawing a sum from the
publto purse amounting to 7,000,000
pounds annually.
Mr. Gladstone has Issued n s-cond
article on toe observance of Sunday,
ln which he argues that with a true
Christian 1t Is not ‘bow much of he
Lord’s day shall wo CIV* to His service,
but rattier how little we should with
hold.’’ Mr. Gladstone, who Is person
ally a strict observer of Sunday, re
cently attributed his long life to the
fret that he Invariably kept Sunday
apart from his ordinary life, and es
pecially from his political life.
Out of a hundred or more candidates
tor the position of court examiner of
stage plays, lnclufllng many eminent
dramatic critics and literary men, the
government has appointed an unknown
bank clerk named Rcdford. The salary
and emolument* of the office Amount
