Philadelphia, Pa., June 18.
Mathew Simpson Biehop of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, died at
his home, in this city, at half-past S
o'clock this morning. His illness
dates since last February. Ilewas
advaaced in age, being in his T ttli
year, and while hale and hearty he
has not heen in robust health for
some time. After bis return from
Denver, where he attended the wed
dinc of bishoi) Warren, he has done
but little since, liv a strong effort he
succeeded in presiding over the
opening of the conference in May,
and thia was his last work for the
Church he had so steadily labored
in, for half a century. He had no
organic disease, and his death re
sulted from the prostration of old age
and over work, For. three days he
has been lyinjr with hut the faintest
fluttering of life about him but, with
the vitality which astonishes hi3
friends he clung to existence long
after hope had been abandoned.
MATHEW SIMPSON.
Much of Bishop Simpson's life
having been spent in Pittsburgh, and
in Wfitera Pennsylvania, his death
h deeply felt by "all Methodists in
this city having teen a pator here,
earning his early laurels in this sec
tion, and marrying a Pittsburgh la
dy, the older members of our
local churches had become accus
tomed to look upon him as one of
their number. In hisdiscourse and
in nrivate conversation he had often
Pittsburgher with pride. Yet his
field of work extended far beyond the
confines of any one city. It embra
ced Iht whole continent, and in one
sense, the world. His name and
fame were commensurate with
Methodism, and even reached be-j ye worship that which is express

HIS EARLY MINISTERIAL LIFE.
Matthew Simpson, L. I)., LL. D.,
was horn at Cadiz, Ohio, on June
20, 1 S 1 1 , and was therefore years
old. He received an academic edu
cation in his native town, which gave
him a taste for more knowledge.
He then went on foot to Uniontown,
Pa., where he became a student in
Madison College, where he gradua
ted, and was elected a tutor in his
ISth year. In ISoD he received the
degree of M. I)., and at once com
menced the practice of medicine.
About the asmw time, feeling it his
duty to enter the ministry, he was
licensed to preach and was received
on trial in the Pittsburgh Conference.
He entered upon the work that year
with enthusiasm, and developed
such ability that he was sent the
next year to Pittsburgh, in connec
tion with Iiev. Thomas M. Hudson
and Dr. William Hunter. Much of
his moral and intellectual develop
ment is to be credited to his uncle,
aiso named Matthew Simpson, who
micu m miriiuiij viijr in iiu, at iuc
age of 9S. In 1S35 the future bishop
was stationed at Liberty Street
Church, Pittsburgh, in 1S(' at Mon
ongahela City, and in 1833 he was
elected Vice President and Professor
of Natural Science in Allegheny
College, at Meadville Pa., into which
-Madison College had been merged.
In 1839 he was elected President of
Indiana Asbury University where
he remained until, in ISIS, he was
elected editor of the Western Christ
ian Advocate, with headquarters at
Cincinnati. In 1S52 the General
Conference of the M. E. Church, at
its meeting in the city of Boston,
elected him to the office of bishop.
He no x removed to I'ittburgh,where
he was located until 1S59, when he
changed his residence from Pitts
burgh to Evanston, where he remain
ed for several years, a part of which
time he was the honorary president
of the Garrett Biblical Institute.
Later he removed to Philadelphia, j
and ever claimed that city as his
residence.
AT HOME AND AHKOAD.
In the discharge of the duties of
his office, Bishop Simpson has at
tended conferences held in all the
States and nearly all tke Territories.
He has presided at the Pittsburgh
Conference four times in 1S52, at
Washington, Pa. ; in 1S57, at Mon
engahela City ; in 1S72, in Allegheny
City, and in 1871 he assisted Bishop
Clark at Steubenville. On the oc
casion of the bishops' meeting in
. Pittsburgh, in the spring of 1883,
the semi-centennial of iJishop Simp
son's entrance into the ministry was
celebrated by an immense outpour
ing of Methodists at Library Hall
on a Sabbath afternoon, when Bish
ops Warren and Simpson delivered
addresses. His position af Bishop
toek him to Euaope upon Ecclesias
tical affairs frequently. In 1857 he
was sent as a delegate from the Gen
eral Conference to the British-Irish
Conference, and was also a delegate
to the Evangelical Alliance, which
met in Berlin the same year. On
the close of iiis religious work he
made an extensive tour of the old
continent, going through Turkey
and the Holy . Land, and returned
to the United States in 1S58. In
1870 he was again sent to Europe
as a delegate to the English Confer
ence of that year. In 1874 he made
a tour of. Mexico, accompanied by
liis wife, and the succeeding year
went to turope to hold the Confer
ence of Germany and Switzerland.
In 1863-4 he made an extended
tour, studying the missionary status
and wants of his church in Syria,
European Turkey and Switzerland,
Germany and Scandinavia. He wis
three times a member of General
Conference, and a fraternal delegate
to the British Weslevan Conference,
ana 10 various ecclesiastical bod
les. in iso he was aain appoint
ee 10 visit, me mission conterences in
Europe.
INFLUENCE WITH THE GOVERNMENT.
Bishop Simpson was a Christian
statesman as well as clergyman, and
occupied closer relations to the Gov
ernment of the United States than
very lew ministers have been hon
ored with. During the late civil
" " " . uiiu ciaies, he was a
very confidential adviser of Presi
dent Lincoln upon manv thinrs
connected with the affairs of State,
and delivered numerous stirring ad
dresses in behalf of the Union; he
was held in 6uch high esteem by
the authorities at Washington, that
with the establishment of the Freed
man's Bureau the Secretary of War
urged him to undertake the organi
zation of the freednen, and Presi
dent Grant a few years ago invited
, him to go as a commissioner to
HayjtL He refused both offers, how
ever.' Bishop Simpson was the
author ef the work. "A hundred
years of Methodism," and the editor
: of the "Cyclopo: dia of Methodism,"
LOGAN'S DARIXO IX BATTLE.
Haw Uftckjack Kaliied
eanized. Division.
Dlecr-
One of the finest illustrations of
the magnetic influence of a single
man in the crisis of a battle was lar
nitshed by Logan at Peach Tree
Creek, a battle fought before1 Atlan
ta. The rebels had flanked Mc
pherson as completely as he had
turned their line at Ilesaca, and had
attacked him vigorously. McPher
son was killed, and tho command of
the whole corps unexpectedly de
volved in a mament on Logan, and
he had net only his own, but other
divisions to look after. He left his
own immediate command, and in
person rallied the First Division,
which, being surprised, was in
great confusion. It was done ky
actual personal exertion in front of,
the line, at a great personal risk.
The tropa had more confidence in
Logan than in McPherson, for the
reason that Logan led, whereas Mc
Pherson directed his men ; and
when the retreating division saw Lo- i
gan riding along the confused lines,
thev rallied and went vigorously
into the fight with a counter-charge
oa the rebel forces. It was a fair,
square illustration of personal mag-m-tispi.
of a fearless leader over
brave men. It was a quality many
of the Generals who gained greater
military distinction tnan Logan did
not possess, and did not lay claim
to. Hooker and Thomas and Kear
ney had it; Grant and Sherman and
Meade did not possess it, though to
;ay so must not be construed as re
fleeting on them. Logan was nat-
! raliv a leader of men in rough con-
flict. lie and Blaine will make a
good team in this civic fight of such
supreme moment to the Nation.

Thev have a superb superb estab
lishment. It is the size of two
stores ; is fitted in polished mahoga
ny from floor to ceiling, and filled
with a small army of snobbish
clerks. A page in livery opens the
door for those who enter, and they
never allow a customer to take any
article home himself- If it is only
a neck-scarf they send it to him,
though he lives five miles away.
The)' have two delivery vans for
that purpose, driven by uniformed
coachmeu with liuukies by their
side to deliver the goods. Altogeth
er the style of the establishment is
stunning.' The prices are so high
that men of modest means do not
buy there. This is entirely to their
satisfaction, as tluy do not want that
kind of custom. Nothing in their
shop can be bought at the regular
prices. Collars, for instance, which
sell usually at 23 cents, are 50 cents
there : and thev charge -SO cents a
pair for cutis that are elsewhere
to 40. It is impossible to buy any
sort of a scarf or necktie for less
than ?2, and the prices for .moking
jackets, bath-robes, and articles of
that sort are positively enormous.
They demand $23 for a bath-robe of
Turkish toweling which could be
bought anywhere else in town for
12. A few days ago a friend of
mine dropped in casually to order
some shirts. The door was swung
open by an obsequious attendant,
who bowed and pointed to a clerk
who was leaning gracefully on the
end of a counter. The clerk stepped
forward, bent, and smiled.
'I want some shirts," said my
friend.
"Well you be kind enough to step
this way,"sir ?"' and the clerk rubbed
his hands together and walked softly
down the store.
The customer followed until they
arrived at the oilice in the rear.
There the clerk was met by a mem
be' of the firm, who was introduced
to the customer. The customer
rather astonished at so much cere
mony, was asked with great polite
ness to step up stairs, which he did.
On the way the proprietor asked him
if he would exchange cards. This
being accomplished, the next floor
was reached, and proved to be a
richly-upholstered and heavily car
peted parlor. The proprietor touch
ed an electric bell, and conversed
easily with his customer until the
shirt maker appeared. He was
measured carefully while the head
of the firm walked casually up and
down the room, as if he had nothing
whatever to do with the shop. He
said nothing about the shirt, and
seemed to treat the call as purely
social. After he had been measured
the cutmer said : "You may make
me a sample shirt first."
"We never make less than half
dozen shirts, sir, and our price is $50
a dozen, said the shirt-maker laconi
cally. "But I don't care to pay $25 for a
half a dozen shirts, and then find
that they do not fit me; and I
think it is an extortionate price,
anyway."
"Our customers," said the propri
etor grandly, "never suspect us of
ill-fitting them, and never ask the
price."
"i don't care whether they do or
not," said my friend. "I want one
shirt for a trial, and I will pay you
$5 for it, aud that is the end of the
whole matter. If you want to da it
you may ; if not, don't trouble your
self. There are plenty of shirt-makers
in town who charge at least rea
sonable figures.
The proprietor looked at him
coldly, twirling his eve glasses in his
fingers, and said : Our customers,
6ir, are not grumblers."
Thereupon roy friend freed his
mind, stalked down stairs, and out
into the street, while the flunkey
opened the door aud bowed respect
fully. And yet, this surt of snob
bishness takes in New York, for the
firm is the most successful one of
its line.
A Soath African Vet.
The banded mongoose of South
Africa when domesticated becomes
a most amusing little household fa
vorite. This mongoose i in size
rather larger than a guinea pig, and
is of a grizzly color, with a tinge of
chestnut, a number of black lines
crossing the back. The eyes are pe
culiarly brilliant A tame mongoose
will allow himself to be freely han
dled, nierly giving vent to an odd
chattering 6ound, apparently indica
tive of satisfaction ; should he become
provoked, however, he will utter
a sharp scream of anger. The ban
ded mongoose is reputed to be a great
destroy of snakes, a statement
which I kare always doubted. That
this animal ccasionally kills and
devours a small snake is probable,
but I certainly do not believe that

of domesfeity the mongoose will eat
and thrivupon all manner of scraps

given to im he generally rolls it
for a shortlistance and then embra
cing it wit his fore legs and raising
himself upn his hind-quarters, will
bring the ig down with sufficient
force to bnk. the shell, after which
he greed ilj devours the contents.
I have sea the trick played of
throwing a empty pill-box to a
tame nionpose, which he would
seize in the i me wanner as he would
an egg, andxmtinue to hammer on

ing and nois until it was taken from

streets of Urban and permitting
even straugei to handle them. An

the most remrkable characteristic

Marth JLullicr.
Luther was io doubt always a
man of powerfuhnd unguarded im
pulse. His worn were like living
things and went straight to their
mark. He did n-t weigh them like
a more cautious aature, and think
of all their effect. But this is only
to say that he w3 Luthr, and not
another. In ordr to judge him
rightly we have tt taka him not
merely in one moid, but in many
moods. It is not l subtlecriticism,
however it may seui to be so, to
look at his large naure now on this
side and now on tlat to contrast
his tenderness with his coarseness
or his (alleged) anthomianism with
the deep breathings of his piety
his materialism wita his holiness.
No doubt there werethese contrasts
in hinn. But are thiy not more or
less in all men, and imperially men
of the massive buid of Luther?
What is remarkable 5i him is not
the presence of such contrasts, but
the frankness with Mhioh he gave
expression to them. He was real
and simple to the con. He had a
marvelous power of itterance, and
like many men who hive this irre
pressible fluency by vork or pen,
his utterance for the moment not on
ly came fro n his heart but seemed
to himself tiie who.o utterance
of his heart ail truth for
the time. But his heart was larger
than he thought, and h;s mind had
other depths than he poured forth
at separate moments. And we only
rightly understand him not in this
mood or that, but when we takehiui
as a whole, and recognize that it is
only a living being who is thus mov
ed so diversly, and that we have to
read into the one Luther all these
chords of feeling. The schisms, in
short, that we recognize ia him are
in his words more than in himself.
He is now on the side of nature
and now on the side of grace, and
then of law ; but nature and grace
and law all meet in his massive hu
manity, as he speaks now with the
tontrue of the other so perfectly
honest in each'iaood of thought that
he is unconscious, like a child, of in
consistencies of language. He is, in
fact from first to last something of a
child in unconscious impulse, in
freedom of talk, and in the quick re
sentful hastiness with which he
deals his blows and emphasizes them
without rehcUng, as in tue contro
versy with Erasmus ; how they may
fall and injure one truth while de
fending another. The Xinctecntfi

An Karthiuake in Hrace Walpole's.
Time.
In the opening month of K50 the
weather-mongers were puzzled by
having to undergo tropical heat, and
Ijondoners ere alarmed by evening
skies of fiery red, betokening, they
thought some impending calamity.
Their fears were justified by a smart
earthquake shock about noon on the
8th of February, making Westmin
ster Hall tremble to its foundations,
shaking houses in Houlborn and
Chancery lane, and causing dwellers
near the tower to think an explosion
had occurred there. Exactly a
month afterward, between 1 and 2
o'clock in the morning, the earth
had another shivering fit. "I had
leen awake," wrote Horace Walpole,
"and had scarce dozed again; on a
sudden I felt my bolster lift my head.
I thought somebody was getting
froBi under my bed, hut soon found
it was a strong earthquake, that las
ted nearly half a minute, with a vio
lent vibration and great roaring. I
rang my bell; my servant came in
frightened out of his senses ; in an
instant we heard all the windows in
the neighborhood flung up. I got
up and found people running into
the streets, but saw no mischief done.
There has been some two old hous
es flung down, several chimneys,
and much earthenware. It has no
where reached above 10 miles from
London " The alarm in town was
intense : nothing else was
talked of
or written about, m. ftneriocu;
made it the theme for a pastoral let
ter, of wuich 10,000 copies were sold
in two days. Pastors told their
flocks the e'arthijuake was a judg
ment on the city for its manifold
sins, and the women, at least, be
lieved them. Shrwd traders turn
ed it to profitable account by selling
earthquake gowns f jr women to wear
while sitting out of doors at night ;
a quack got riu oi ms earinquaKe

having had a vase cracked by the
shock, doubled the price of Uie set.

Lawyer's of Fifty Years A no.
" While I was a student." Baid an
old lawyer of Providence, R. I., " I
had very little personal acquaintance
with members of the bar, but I at
tended court when any trial of ia
portance was had, and so became fa
miliar witn tue lawyers wno con
ducted these trials. It is difficult,
perhaps, to separate the impressions
made upon me at that time from the
kuowledge aiterward acquired when
l sa member of the Lar, but 1
shall do it as well as I can. These
trials were conducted for the most
part by John Whipple, Samuel Y.
Atwell, Albert C. Greene, Kichard
Ward Grtene, Thomas F. Carpenter
and bamuel Ames. UccasionaLJy
Judce Daniels, Chrisiopher Robin
son, John il. Weeden or John I
Knowles would be associated with
some of the gentlemen above named
and in the year 1840 Charles S. Brad
ley and Thouaa A. Jencks were ad
mitted to the bar, and soon became
prominent in the trial of causes.
Members of the bar who in these
days notice that important cases are
frequently tried in an empty court
room, no one being present but the
judges, counsel, witnesses, and some
times officers of the court and some
times parties in the case, will hardly
realize the change that has taken
place. When I was a student al
most always there was a large at
tendance of spectators in court, and
when it was known that Mr. Whip
ple or Mr. Atwell or Gen. Greene
was to speak the Court House would
be crowded, many prominent citi
zens of Providence being present
Probably an audience had some ef
fect upon the speakers. Chief Jus
tice Marshall said that " when Mr.
Pinckney was on his feet he could
tell when ladies entered the court
room without raising hw eyes, by
the change in Mr. Piuckney's style
of speaking."
Within a year or two I haye seen
a letter published by a Justice of
the Supreme Court of the United
States, in which he says that the
days of eloquence at the bar are
gone by. This, I think, is a mistake ;
there will always be eloquence where
there is the man, the subject, and
the occasion. But there has been a
great change in the mode of arguing
cases in the State since I was a stu
dent at the law. Attorney General
Greene, for instance, newer address
ed court or jury without consulting
propriety in every detail. Cicero
was not more careful in the arrange
ment of his robes, than was General
Greene to appear in appropriats cos
tume. There was nothing rude or
slipshod in his manner. His voice
was carefully modulated, and his
whole manner was dignified and
persuasive. Greene was a thorough
ly ifistructed Ir wycr, a skillful and
successful advocate, but he was first
of all and always a gentleman.
When Samuel Y. Atwell was to
speak, all eyes were fastened upon
him and all ears were compelled to
listen. He was a natural orator and
a profound lawyer. John Whipple
was not so uniformly eloquent as
Mr. Atwell, but he had a powerful
mind, fully conscious of its own
strength, and, when speaking, secur
ed the close attention of court, jury
and audience. Though a great law
yer, he did not always confine him
self strictly to the ease in hand, and
everybody was on the watch to hear
what striking or brilliant thing he
would say next. Bichard Ward
Greene, though not an eloquent, was
often a convincing talker. He al
ways came to his argument fully
prepaied, and I think his brethren
oi the bar tell that he was a
man worthy of their steel."

An Incident of Suiiilc.
For four hours we had been
pounding away at Steven's battery,
and making no impression on it.
This was very annoying to the men,
and doubtless equally so to the of
ficers. The non-commissioned of
ficers believed they could demolish
the battery with the 10-inch gun.
I he 10-inch gun reierred to was
mounted en barbette on the third tier,
and the Major had ordered that no
guns on that tier should be manned.
Orders were sacred in the opinion of
Tom Kernan, but the demolition of
Steven's battery was a duty. In
this case duty and orders seemed to
conflict, and Tom was troubled.
Tom Was an Old bergeant, a Veteran i
of the Mexican war. In his dilem
ma he consulted with the Ordnance
Sergeant, another Mexican war vet
eran, and they agreed that if it
could be done on the sly; under the
circumstances, the Major's order
might be disregarded. They would
not, however, take anybody with
them. The blame, if any attached
to the act, should rest entirely on
their shoulders. Consequently they
watched their chance, and when the
Major was out of the way, slipped
up stairs to tho bardie battery. The
gun was already loaded and aimed
at the very battery they desired to
strike. For weeks before the bom
bardment began all the guns were
kept loaded. They had nothing to
do, therefore, but slip in a friction
primer in the vent and pull the lan
yard. This was the work of a mo
ment. The gun was fired and the
two Sergeants ana those below who
were in the secret, watched the flight
of the shot with almost painful in
terest. It missed missed, seeming
ly, by a hair's'breadth just grazing
the tap of the battery. Great was
the disappointment. So much risk
ed, so little won. But the two Ser
geants would not give it up so.
They might as well be hanged for a
sheep as a lamb. They were deter
mined to have another shot. The
gun was reloaded, which was quite
a feat for two men, as the shot weigh
ed 123 pounds, but when they tried
to run the gun '"in battery," they
failed. It required six men to throw
the carriage " in gear," and the two
Serjeants could not accomplish it.
Although the discharge of the 10
inch gun had escaped the observa
tion of our own officers, it had been
noticed by the rebels. They knew
all about the position and power of
that particular gun, and had no
doubt wondered at its silence. Now
that it had opened, it was of the ut
most importance that it be silenced
at once : so every rebel gun that
could be brought to bear was turned
on it, and a shower of shot and
shell came hissing and hurling about
the cars of the two Sergeants, wno
were still struggling in vain at the
handspikes. Matters had now
reached a crisis. " By Gemini," said
Scrgeunt Tom, ''let us fire her as she
is. It was the only thing they
could do. So the elevating screw
was given halt a screw, the primer
was inserted, and the Ordnance ber
geant ran down to see it the coasts
were clear. Meantime, Tom, who
was left holding the lanyard, found
himself in a tight place. Shot and
shell were coming thicker than ever.
The rebel gunners were just getting
the range. Tom was lying down,
because, as he said, there was no
room for him to stand up. What
could bo keeping his friend so long?
Traverse circles were being torn up
by the enemy's shot, and great blocks
of granite were slashing about the
terreplein. He could Btand it no
longer ; the lanyard was pullsd and
the shot struck the battery and
seemed to do considerable damage,
but the gun, having been fired out
of battery, recoiled over the counter
hurtcn and turned a somersault
backward. As the Ordnance Ser
geant reached the top of the stairs
he met the 10-inch gun going in the
opposite direction, and, looking
around for his friend, discovered
him hugging mother earth, half
dead wi'h fright not at the ene
my's shot, but at having dismount
ed the boss gun of the outfit. Both
compatriots came down. There
were now additional reasons for
keeping mum about the 10
inch gun, and the Major never
learned how it was dismounted.

l'!nnete Conceit.
National conceit id a quality more
highly developed among Chinamen
thiir. among any other people, and,
though perfectly aware of the supe
riority of the foreign organization
and arms, it not uufrequently hap
pens that the mandarins shrink
troiii publicly acknowledging it in
the face of their countrymen. To
such an absurd length is this paltry
yanity occasionally carried, tnat ot
fieers commanding drilled troops
have been known to reserve the use
of rifles for the inclosed barrack
yards, and to review th-ir men in
public armed with match-lock?.
spears, and bows. A want of appre
ciation of the importance of being
thoroughly well armed and prepar
ed fur an enemy, can alone account
for the existence of such folly, and
it will require some very convincing
home thrusts before these national
coxcombs will be brought frankly to
admit that their continued existence
as a nation depends upon the thor
oughness with which they adopt
European arms and tactics. Pro
fessedly they are fully alive to the
value of an ever-ready standing
army, but unfortunately their con
victions never advance beyond the
abstract stage of principle, and
though, like every other principle,
they surround this one with grand

invention of such phrases, and
leave the truths they embody to take
care of themselvs.
" The army may be a Imniiretl years unem

is a saying constantly in the mouths
