He obtained the post. THE PASTORAL KISS. How a New York. Preacher Was Caught and What He and She Say. In Roxbury, New York, a few days ago, a young woman, aged 18, called at the house ol Mr. uavia Williams, with whom Rev. B. C. Miller boarded, enter ing without KnocKing, ana nappening to glance thro a Key hole into the pas tor s room sh saw the pastor and Mrs. Williams kissing each other. The girl went away at once and spread the news. The pastor irom his pulpit, tne following Sunday, said: "1 did kiss Mrs. Williams, but there was in that kiss nothing of sin ; it was a holy kiss, as I have before averred, and it was merely such a salutation as is recogniz ed in holy writ as rightful and good. Still, 1 am willing to admit that I may have erred, that 1 may have been m- udicious, but 1 insist that the kiss was holy, and that I have done no sin. Further than this I have nothing to say." Subsequently he gave this ac count to a reporter. "It was in this room my study," he said, "that I kiss ed Mrs. Williams and was seen. It was not an ordinary or usual thing for me to kiss her, tho so long and inti mately have we known one another that 1 have really come to regard her as a dear sister. And she, I know, ooks upon me as a brother. Hence there was nothing absolutely nothing impure or wrongful in our exchang ing kisses; but, oi course, it was utter- y impossible to convince the world of this. In Roxbury, as everywhere, there are men and women who are happy only when they can impugn another s motives, and who are never so pleas antly employed as when seeking to ruin another's reputation. With such people mole hills are mountains and suspicions are facts. The young lady who saw me kiss Mrs. Williams spread the story so quickly, and it soon devel oped into an astounding sensation ; my enemies were jubilant. I was earnest- v laboring in a revival service at that time in the Methodist church, assisting Brother Burgar, when a committee ap pointed by the trustees of that church notified me that my participation in these services was no longer desired. Demanding to know the reason for this action, I was for the first time acquaint ed with the story which was afloat con necting my name with that ot Mrs. Williams. That night it was that i arose and referred to the story, as is published. I said I did kiss the woman. but it was a holy kiss, and prompted bv a brotherly interest. I have board ed with Mrs. Williams since May last, tho I have known her quite well dur ing all the past five years of my pas torate in Roxbury ; she has been very kind to me very kind. 'Has it been your custom to kiss married women in this brotherly way?" "1 do not care to answer sucu ques tions," was the reply. The preacher further said that tno be yet has no plan for the future, ht will not quit the ministry, inasmucn as he "feels specially called by God to preach.'' Mrs. Williams, a pretty oruneue oi about twenty-six years, the lady who was kissed, says ol the arrair : Jjpmi nie Miller kissed me, and it is nobody's business. 1 guess I am old enough to know how to take care of myself. The Bible teaches that there is a holy kiss amone Christians. Now, I belong to the Baptist church.and about a week afro 1 was engaged in ousting me dominie's room, when we eottodiS' cussing certain texts from our different points of view 4 as xiapusi, ne as ne formed. In referring to the UiDie we namft across the words of Paul, when as a pledge of Christian love, he direct ed the brethren to greet one another with a holy kiss. Then we exchanged kisses. That is lust all there is of it.' "So you think the teachings of .scrip ture vindicate you t "Of course; can't any sane person: see that?" ' "But Tour husband what does he think ef the matter V" "He thinks just what any nonoraoie man would think-netninKs XDai 1 am all riffhtt he knows lam." Mr. Williams. wh is an esteemed citizen ef Roxbury, was found:, at . his place of business. He averred thorough trust in his wife's honor; He eawt no reason f or condemn ati on of eitherher or;th nreachef. Of the latter h says "No purer man lives. Mr: "Williams' said with much show of earnestness that even tho'. all th stone toldpr;in- timaev between his wile - ana tne nreacher were true, it was a : matter of io ettisequence, Indeed,"' no atenreq "l consider it a decided eotopUment to bare a wife whom such a good man as Dominie Miller would desire to kiss." -Noth withstanding all this ' acqnies' cence.the church cited the pastor to appear and explain, and asked him to dtep down and out. He gees, but as he says abore, will preach if he can find an opportunity. NEWS IN NORTH CAROLINA. An Alleged Victim of Ly-acli Law Turn Up. Wilmington Star. About the time of the Clinton fair, in the latter part of last year, there was a report in circulation to the effect that one Doyle Bryant, colored, who had been suspected of having murdered one Charley Boone, in Fayetteville some years ago, had been found swung to the limb of a tree somewhere between Fayetteville and Clinton, the deed of lawless violence being alleged to have been committed in revenge for the sup posed murder. The reported lynching got into the papers, the enterprising New York BntB haviag a-enrtiea--fVT al description of the "latest Southern outrage, and some of the reports went so far as to say that the body had a placard attached to the back contain ing the words: "Hung for the murder of Charley Boone." Nothing more was hearSQT the affair, so far as we know, until last Monday, when the identical individual in question, who was well known around Fayetteville as a noted horse trader, was seen driving about the streets of that town, being the live liest corpse, considering the length of time since his neck was broken, that has been seen in that ancient burg for many a day. It seems that Bryant and another party were arrested on suspicion soon after the murder of Boone, kut were acquitted when the case came to trial. Waylaid and Killed. Wilmington Star. A colored man bv the name of An drew Nash, well known in Fayetteville, was shot Just beyond the suburbs ef that place on Wednesday last and died on Monday, the load taking effect in his bowels. Our information is to the effect that Nash reported one Peter Ray, colored, a very disreputable char acter, who has been in the penitentiary once or twice for stealing wood from bis (Nash's) employer, and when the fact came to the knowledge of Ray, he employed a colored boy about 16 years old to waylay Nash and kill him, which he did at the time and in the manner described, and for which he (the boy) received in payment the sum of ten dollars. The bov. whose name our in formant could not recall, was subse quently arrested and is now in jail at Fayetteville, but Ray is still at large. L.ar(reat Landholder in the Weat Asheville Citizen. The sale of the interest of the State University in the land, some 50.000 acres, lying in the counties of Transylvania, Buncombe and Hen derson, belonging jointly to the univer sity and the heirs of Zachariah Candler, ! came off m this place on Tuesday, and resulted in Mr. V. S. Lusk purchas ing the said iterest, paying for the same $2,758. as against $112 at which the said imterest recently sold. If the U. S. Court confirms this sale, this will make Mr. Lusk the largest land holder in this section. Proposed Change 1m the Uw with Reg-ard to Death Sentences. Wilmington Star. We learn from General Manning that there is a prospect that the Legislature will pass an act during its present ses sion to so amend the law in regard to banging as to take it out of the hands of the sheriffs of the various counties. and have all executions of capital fel ons to take place in the State peniten tiary, under the supervision of the war den, after a lapse of ninety days from the passage of the sentence. A bill to this effect has already been drawn up for presentation, and a good many of the members of the .Legislature wno have been consulted on the subjeet seem inclined to look with favor upon the proposition. Some objected at first on the score of expense, but when they came to understand that, although the bill provides that the cost of transport ing the felon to the State prison is to be borne by the county where the in dictment is found and the prisoner con victed, the expense of such transporta tion will be much less than the cost of erecting the scaffold and taking the other preliminary steps requisite to carry out the sentence of the law. The particular advantages ureeu m its la- ii 1 .1 i J J. vor. however, is the doing away with the periodical excitements in commu nities where these executions take place and the avoidance of the fre quent bungling executions by inexpe rienced lunctionanes. we muse con fess that we like the idea as presented to us and will be glad to hear that the bill has become a law.
