NEW YORK, April4.—A deep hush fell npon Plymouth Church and every ear was strained when Beecher said he would relate an incident which he ‘had never spoken of before. He re- marked playfully that he would now tell it con- fidentially. ‘*There came to me’’’ he said, ‘‘a member ofmy own church, the mother ofa young woman, who said her daughter had become fascinated with Roman wor- ship and wanted to unite with that Church. Isaidto her: ‘Tell your child to waitone year, until her own mind and judgment are settled, and if, atthe end of that time she shall find that she is drawn nearer to God and to Heaven through that Church, let her come, and we will take her by the hand and carry. her to the door.’ At theendofthe year she was still anxious to enter that Church, and I sat down and wrote a letterto an honored Catholic pas- tor of this.city, and said: ‘This lamb has found greener pastures in your fields than in mine.’ She joined the Catholic Church, and is to-day happy‘Christian girl in thatcommunfon.’’ | Any one could have heard apin drop while Beechér was telling this, and there was what is generally called a ‘‘sensation.’’ He added: *‘Jid doit again if it were necessary, for when I spoke of unity of all that believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, I meant it. I don’t believe in ex- ternal unity, but I believe in internal unity.’’ In‘this-connection the preacher also said: ‘*I would rather rideinthe most ragged third- class car that was ever put onthe rail, if it would -takeme nearer home, than in the most luxurious parlor car that was ever built if it would take me further from home.’’ McHOSE,Sslevin and Quinlivan are three an- cient, chronic office beggars.

Card From Mr. McCann. ST. Louis, April 4, 1881, To the Editor of the Post-Disnatch: What purports to be an interview with Capt. John Lindsay, of the Seventeenth Ward, ap- pears in to-day’s Republican, in which, among | other wild statements, itis said in effect that the meeting was chiefly gotten up by and com- ' posed of soreheads, whothe speaker believed applied for favors to Mayor Overstolz and were _refuséd because Overstolz deemed them unfit ? or unworthy persons. I being the person who called aiid.organized the meeting, the remarks _are probably intended mainly for myself, al- though possibly Hon. Peter L. Foy, the chair- man, and Hon; T. T. Gantt, a speaker, are in- For T will say that the only favorI ever asked of Mayor Overstolz was when, in ne me ed 1879, 1, on behalf of certain clients, asked that he perform a plain duty impo3ed on The total increase from taxation wa private brewers and intendsto raise the duty | him by law as the chief executive of the city in \ relation to their removal from the bond of a constable who was said to be a pet of the ad- ministration. To my aay disgust the Mayor utterly refused to considerthe matter at all. Whereupon .on the 6th of October, 1879, I filed in the Cireuit _ Court of this cit an action against his majesty, the Kaiser, entitled ‘‘The State of Missouri at the relation of Chas. A. Faris,vs. Henry Overstolz, Mayor of the City of St. Louis,’’ the suit being uumbered 51,536, room No.4 of said Court, October Term, 1879, and procured an alterna- tive nandamus against him todo whatI had requested or show cause ; whenlo! and behold, in about two weeks thereafter my clients ob- tained their release before an answer was ever liledto their complaint, andI dismissed the suit. I have never made any other request of any kind at the Mayor’s office, and ve not been an applicant for office during his admin- istration, except whenl ran for the School Board, and was elected by the votes of the people.
