tho grandson, too, of lien. Voter Muh
lenberg, tho pat riot clergyman who ono
Hundred vein's ago was settled in l ood-
st.K'k, a., and who, mounting his
pulpit ono iSunduy morning early ill
tho Revolution, preached liu last Hor
mon upon tho dutien which men owo to
their country, saying in conclusion,
1 here is a tune lor ali things a timo
to preach and a time to fight and now
is the time to fight," with which words
ho stripped oil Ins clerical gown, ap
peared in full uniform, read his com
mission us colonel in the American
urmy, und straightway formed a regi
ment among his parishioners, f rom
his grandsiro down Dr. iluhlenherg
inherits the remarkable energy that
hus made his life so useful. lie was
ordained a clergyman of tbo Episcopal
church about 1820. Ho preached for
some timo in Lancaster, from which
place ha removed to Flushing, L. I.,
and thence to Kow York, where lio bo
came rector of the church of tho Holy
Communion, a memorial church built
by his sister. But his greatest work is
.St. Luke's hospital, which lie projected
and built, increasing a fund of i'M in
l4i to ovor 82ll0,nuil in l.r)7,andsinco
its completion he has piosidud over it
as superintendent and cliuplnin, occu
pyingasuito ol large, modestly furnish
ed rooms in the iirst story, and wor
shiped by all ollicers and patients.
There ho was found on Thursday, a
man of nearly 80 years, of medium
height anil slender figure, with a long,
strongly marked face, a firm squaru
mouth, and a prominent hobo. His
white hair escaied from thocontiiies of
a small black velvet cap that ho always
wears in his ixhuii, and his clothes were
black, of clerical litshion. In manner
ho was dignified and courteous, pro
tcslant vchcmcneiitly, though, against
any publication that might scorn to in
dicate, that ho felt it necessary to do
li ii.l his long-ostahlishcd claim to tho
beautiful hymn, but filially furnishing
as historical mutter tho following facts:
"1 diil not write tho hymn," said he,
"as it is now sung. It was longer,
much longer, and was first published
more than lilly years ago. 1 revised
three or four yours ago, and published
it through Wnittakcr A Co., with some
reminiscences, which will give you all
tho details you may want. According
to tho notes referred to by Dr. Muh
lenberg, the original hymn flint appear
ed in the fyifctipal ltecordir, in 1 hilo-
deliihia, in 1X24. 1 hnt it was written
on an occasion of private grief is a
fancy. In 1H20 the general convention
of tin) Episcopal church apta-iintcd a
committee to prcparo a collection of.
hymns, to no milled to tho lllly-sije,
then the whole number attached to the
prayer hook. This measure wits in
consequence of an awakened interest
in hymnology, owing to nrtieles on
"Church poetry," und "A plea for
christian livnnis," addiessed to the
nagnates of the church by Dr. Muhlen
berg through the religious firess. Ho
was chosen by tho convention as ono
of the oonunitteo, and the fiev. Dr. 11.
Oiiderilonk, tho rector of St. Ann's in
Brooklyn, as another. Dr. Muhlen
berg was further appointed on a sub
committee to pass preliminary jtidg-
mcnt upon all hymns submitted. Two
years before he hail published in the
Epuenpai Jwtiran tho lollowing poem,
tho original form of the hymn :

This noom Dr. Ondenlonk abridged
into a bymn of suitable length for
church use, and submitted it to Dr.
Muhlen hu eg for revision. In this way
it was moulded into the form in which
it is now known and sung in every
Christian household of the hind, mid
was then passed upon favorably by tbo
siib-committoo having charge of the
subject. There were no changes from
tho sentiment of the original composi
tion ; only four lines in the new difl'or
limn tho original, anil these only in a
lew wonls, as will bo seen hy compari
son between tho two. As it is now
printed in the church hymnal it reads :

Tho general committee did not meet
until 1829, and then 1 ho members as
sembled in tho house of Jiishop White,
in 1'liilndeliiliia. the report of tbo sub
committee was presented, and each of
tho hymns was passed upon separately.
lien tins ono cume up one ol the
members said that it was very sweet
and pretty, but rather sentimental,
upon wtuch it was u naiiitnousl v thrown
out. Dr. .Muhlenberg, who was not
suspected as tho author, voted ugainst
it himself. That ho thought wes the
end of it, lor the committee agreed up
on their report that nigbt and ad
journed. '
Hut tho next morning Dr. wilder-
donk, who hail not attended on the
previous evening, called on Dr. Muh
lenberg to inquire what had leen dono.
t'non bcintr told that amotiL' Iho n
jeeUid hymns was tbwone representing
their joint labors, he said: "lhal will
never do," and went about among the
members of tlio committee, soliciting
them to restore tbo hymn in their re
port, which accordingly they did, so
that to him is duo tho credit of giving
it to the church at thut time.
After these bits of history had been
examined and notes bad boon taken,
Dr. -M tihlenborg,who had been stretch
ed on his lounge for a half hour or
more, arose and said jocosely, but still
in his quick, earnest manner : "I can
not help thinking, allor reviewing
these facts, that I wrote the hymn and
that Mr. Ward did not, but I also feel
very certain that I am sorry that I
ever had anything to do with it, for it
has given me a great deal or trouble
during tho past fifty years, l'eople
are wanting tho history of it and au
thority for its genuineness, and it has
been a burden, a great burden."
"Doctor?' said tbo reporter"! notice
that in Hcechor's Plymouth collection
ine mornings inni uawn on nn, nere
are termed 'lucid' instead of 'lurid.'
Will you tell mo which is correct ?"
" by 'lurid' is right of course," ro-
pliod tho voncrablo poet quickly, "for
that is tho way it appears in all ol my
works." "Hut," added he with a
sniilo, "perhaps this man Ward wrote
their liymn lor them. Then ho
pleasantly bado the reporter farewell.
Dr. JMiihionbcrg has written many
other hymns ; one of the most popular
ol which is that opening with
Bboatthe glad tldingo, exultingly alng,
which he composed at tho particular
rcnuost of Bishop Hobart.who wantd
something that could bo sung to the
tune of Avison, then popular to the
wonls by Mooro, "Sound tlio loud tim
brel." The bishop liked tho verses so
well that ho had some struck off on
looso sheets bufore tho hymns were
puiiiisiicil, that thoy might bo sung in
Trinity church on Christmas day, 1829.
Hut of all tho poet's songs, tlio ono
which the printer Ward wildly claimed
is the ono which has found its way
straightest to the popular heart, and
which has become at once a mother's
lullabysnd Rcluirch'santhem. In 1H71,
in his seventy-sixth .year, Dr. Muhlen
berg ovangelisod tho poem of his J'oul h,
hy replacing tbo phrase exhibiting tbo
sentimentality of younger days by the
moro sober and orthodox expression,
of ago, publishing tho work through
VY Hitlaker Co. lor tho benefit ot ono
of his numerous charities.
Ho prefneos this latest edition of the
verses with an aiiologctio fnblo, in
men the hymn personilled protests
nirainst the change. "I'.vnngelir.o me !
quoth tho hvmn. "Am 1 a heathen or
an Hilidel that 1 need any such pro
cess ? Ami not already in good odor
with evangelical Christians r Are they

I am imprinted on memories where I

longer in your possession. I belong to
tho Christian public. No, my ilonr
father, let well alono, and only be
tnaiiKlui lor tlio mossed privilege you
have onjoyed through your favored

In reply tho author quaintly informs
the discontented hymn that she has
somo faults ir, word and phraso which
mast be corrected, and that she has a
grttveiteloct in having too little evangel
ical faith, a supply ofwhich must be fur

ITS interior and internal resources.
- The island of Newfoundland, whose
area is four limes that of llelginni. and
which contni nal3,000 moro square miles
than Scotland, is to most men qtuto a
terra incoqnila. It is generally known
that a peculiar brood of dogs oomes

indefinite idea of its cod and seal utisi.
nose: otherwise information is very
limited, and but dim notions exist as
to its geography and natural resource.
It seems a remarkable fact that al
though it was tho earliest discovered
land in America, and has ever since
been the resort of thousands of fisher
men, it was only as recently as 1825
that tho first roads woro mode from
St. Johns, the capital, to the outlying
settlements. We had supposed until
now that the universal Ignorance- that
prevailed as to its interior capacities
ana topography was duo to tue apathy
of its people ; that its lack of develop
ment arose from lack ot enterprise ;
that the adjacent waters offered such
inducements of gain that no one would
go island in search of mineral or for
purposes ol cultivation. Ullen nave
wo reasoned that a utile Yankee enter
prise was all that is needed to fructify
the waste places and make tho wilder
ness to bloom and blossom as the rose.
Alas I for human vanity and human
fallibility I Tho mystery is all made
clear now, and the great problem of
the terra incognita is solved. I he truth
is that the interior of Newfoundland is
naught but a vast plutonio waste, w hero
no vegetation exists and whero no
roads can run. Its mineral wealth of
coprcr, nickel, lead, Iron and ochres, is
great, it is said, and certain to be
developed at no distant day ; but with
the exception of a belt of land four or
five miles wide that encirlces tbo island
and bonier?, tho sea, a belt covered
with a fair irrowth of snrucc. nine.
juniper, fir, and witch-hazel, all else is
desolation and barrenness, ao Indi
ans live in the interior, nor is thero a
house north of Uonavesta Capo, any
where to be found after one passes a
couple of miles inland from tho shore.
All tho land is rocky and rolling, great
waves succeeding waves of granite,
with bogs and marshes interspersed,
which afford a living to reindeer, foxes,
wolves, bears, otters, beavers, martini,
and musk ruts, and lorm tho sources
of rivers that flow In all directions.
Each one of these rivers abounds in
salmon which can be caught with tho
fly, though it is believed tbnt angler
never tossed fly to them, and nearly
nil thoso rivers, it seems, are indicated
ia Hallork's "Fishing Tourist." Thoy
are rapid, dashing streams, flowing
with impetuous current, up which no
boat can push its way : but in their
contracted channels tbo Indians spear
largo quantities ol salmon.
These aro about all tho facts that
can be told of the interior of JSewound-
land, and we gather them from no less
an authority than M ichael Carroll, Esq.,
for fifty years a resident of tho country,
and fK only man who has written a
correct account of tho interior of the
country. It was ho who surveyed tho
route lor the overland tologrnph wires,
and in the course of bis explorations
traversed tuo island athwart and across.
It is believed that his surveying party
is tho only ono that has ever explored
tho interior.
Of tbe other industrial resources of
the island thoro is a moro flattering
account. , Mr. Carroll has furnished us
with the following statistics: The
population of Newfoundland is 175,000,
out of which number 35,000 are fisher
men. The average catch ot fish each
yoar is 1,250,000 quintals (112 pounds
to the quintal), and the yield olcndoil
throe quarters of an imperial gallon
for each quintal. Tho French send
out 12,000 fishermen every spring to
prosecuto cod fishing on tho banks of
Newfoundland. All the fishing vessels
ariivo at St. Peters before commencing
the fishing trips. Tho resident popu
lation ol fet. rotors is about d,000.
The French fishermen return, after
their fishing voyago, to Franco about
1st of October. Tho French also pros
ecute their cod fishing on tbo north
and west parts of the island from Cape
John to Cape Ray. Nu French aro al
lowed to rosido on that part ol tho
island ol Newfoundland known as tho
French shore. This spring of 1874
twenty-five large Btcamships and 214
sailing vessels intend prosecuting tho
seal fishing business, and their crews
will number no less than 12,000 men.
The average catch will be about 550,
000 old and young seals, and tho value
of tho seal oil and skins may bo esti

Tlio men being at this lime drawn
up in throe ranks, each poised his fire
lock. I ordered them to face the right,
aud, at tho head of tho centre file
marched them immediately to tho
wicket gate aforesaid, where I found a
sentry posted who instantly snapped
his fusee at inc. I ran immediately
toward him and ho retreated through
tho covered way to tho parade within
the garrison, gave a halloo and ran un
der a bomb proof. My party, who fol
lowed mo into tho lort, 1 lormotl in
such a manner as to face the two bar
racks which faced each other. The
garrison being asleep, except tho sen
tries, wo gave three bunas which
greatly surprised them. One of the
sentries mndo n pass at one of my olli
cers with a charged bayonet and slight
ly wounded him. Aly first thought
was to kill him with my sword, but in
an instant I altered tbo design and
fury of the blow to a slight cut on the
sideof the head, npon which ho dropped
his (run and asked anartor. which I
readily granted him, and demanded of
him the place where tho commanding
ofilcor kept. Ho showed mo a pair of
stain in wo ironi oi a barrack-, on iho
west part ol the garrison, which led up
a second story in said barrack, to which
I immodiadely repaired and ordered
tho commander, Captain Do La Place,
to come forth instantly or 1 would sac
rifice tho whole garrison, at which Do
La Placo came immediately to the
door with his breeches in his hand,
when I ordered him to deliver mo the
fort instantly. Ho asked mo by what
authority 1 demanded it- I answered
him, "in thenamoof the great Jehovah
and the Continental Congress." Tho
authority of Congress being very little
known at that time, he began to spook
again. 1 interrupted him, and with
my drawn swonl over his head, again
ileniandod an immediate surrender of
tho garrison, with which he then com
plied, and ordered his men to be forth
with paraded without arms, as he had
given up the garrison, in tho mean
time some ol my officers had given
orders, and in consequence thereof
sundry ol tho barrack doors were beat
down and about ono-third of tho garri
son imprisoned, which consisted ot said
commander, a Lieutenant Fcltham, a
conductor of artillery, a gunner, two
sergeants and forty-four rank and file,
besides ono tliirtoen-mch mortar and a

care the snap of their fingers for
Giant's positive talk . yesterday, but
when Secretary Delano began to talk
to them to-day bout money they at r
once showed their eagerness to nibble -at
tho bait. Delano is a bettor Indian
diplomat than Grant, and although he '
apparently made but little progress la ,t
the negotiations to-dajr,- nererthelwss
he very skillfully felt the Indian pulse
and discovered that by arousing the ,,
upiditv of tbe savagus success might
yet attend the efforts of the ring and
tbe Black Hills be gained. The braves ' '
were told that there were twenty-nv
thousand dollars lying in the treasury
which could be divided up amongst
them, provided they agreed to stirren- '
dor the country on tho north tork of .;
the ltepu blican, but they have only.
thirty days iu which to moke up thoir
minds. If thoy did not come to a con
clusion in that time, tho money could
not be paid, i his intimation had an
immediate and powerful effect. Indi
an liko, Spotted Tail began to chaffer
fer more, but it is quite ovident that in
the ond the tempting bait will bo ,
swallowed. As long as the Recretaiy
and Commissiner talked about money,
the Indians were eager and attentive
listeners, but when they began to speak
of possible bloodshed and wars tho
savuge blood showed Itself just as
plainly ' as their cupidity bad. The
mistnko made by Delano and Smith .
was in tolling the Indians that Con
gress was their masters as well as tho
Indians. This at once suggested the
notion to the Indian mind of dealing
directly with the hoad men, Congress
men. They . seemed intuitively to
catch tho idea that there was another '
great father which was tho big daddy
of all the fathers In Washington, and
accordingly they said they didn't want
to make a treaty now but wanted after
a little further pow-wow to go home
and then come again and have a grand
council with Congress. It is not un- ,
possible that tbo reputation of our
Credit Mobilier Congressmen has trav
eled out to tho Black Hill country.and
Red Cloud and Spotted Tail have con-
oeived the notion of trying their hand i
nt lobbying. - They might moko a ten

rich gold placers, big bonanzas in tho
Black Hills, of course thoso shrewd
Indians know tho choice ground, and,
by placing a fuw good claims where
thoy would do tho most good, they
might drive a good trade with the

works and a larger group in the back
ground. As it was evident that they
were watching our movement, Stan
Icy suggested that a few shots le fired
to drive tbom uudor cover. Howard
suggested that perhaps Bishop Polk
was in the party, when Stanley turned
to ('apt. Siinonson, his chief of artilery,
with tho remark:' 1 c i
"Kimonson, can't yon unlimber, put
shot Into the croup and give the
Bishop a morning salutation ?"
'i ll try, was oimonsons laconic
reply. A few minutes later a section
of tbe Fifth Indian battery (fSiuionson't)
was unlimbereil within twenty lcot of
us. The Lieutenant sighted the gun
and the shot exploded over and to the
right ot the group. bimonson, when
the gun had been reloaded, dismounted
and said : "Here, Lieutenant, let mo
it. He took tho ranee and the
messenger of death sped on its mission.
Our glasses wore bent npon the group
and we observed a commotion as the
shot took effect in the group that scat
tered to tho roar.- While Simonson
was upon his knees sighting the gun
for another discharge, CapL Leonard,
chief of Howard's Signal Corps sitting
on his horse bosido me, read the Con
federate signal and caught the words :
lion, folk is killed !" With a look
of amazement Leonard turned to How
ard and Stanley and exclaimed :
"Bishop Tolk is killed I"
"What V exclaimed Howard ; "have
ou interpreted tho signal correotly?"
"Yos, General ; Simonson't lost shot
killed him. They ara signalling it
along tho line."
Iho young mon of tho staff who
woro cracking jokes instantly ceased,
and for a moment none spoke. Then
Howard said :
"Well, Christian has fallon. Such
is war."
Just then Simonson caught tho
words: "Bishop Polk is killed I"
Ho was sighting the gun, and, lift
ing his eyes, that glared fearfully, ex
claimed : ' ' '
"What is that, Leonard ?"
"Bishop Polk is killed I - Your lost
shot did it. They are signalling it
over tbe mountain," 1 replied.
