The news we get all lends to show tbat Bishop Key is a man of remark able typeorator, parliamentarian a Christian aage,with the profoundest piety, well tempered zeal and in tense devotion to God and his caase. Scarcely in the history of Methodism in North Carolina has any Bishop made such an impression for piety, for holiness; for goodness and pa tience as, the Georgian has done. The only one who would be named with him was another Georgian George F. Pieree, the prinoe among Southern Methodist orators of his time. His father, the powerful Dr. Loviok Pierce, was a native of North Carolina, while Bishop Key's father was from Virginia. We mentioned that Senator In galla had a scheme to make way with the surplus by spending it. Another ingenious Tariff-monger has a plan. His name is Raines and he is a New. York Republican. Ha pro poses to pay all pensioners cow the full amount they will receive in all. The life insurance annuity tables are to be a guide in paying each pen sioner. In this way it will take some billion or so of dollars to meet the bills. This is a fine example of Re publican so called statesmanship. Lord Lyons, whose death has been announced in the Stab, was born in 1817. He was educated at Winches ter and Oxford. He was a vtry dis tinguished , diplomatist, with rare talents for very delicate duties. He was British Minister at Washington from 1858 to 1865, when he was transferred to Constantinople. For twenty years be has been the Ambas sador at Paris. He was strong for the North in the "late on pleasant ness. Ingalls has the courage opinions. He "talks right of hlA out in meeting." The World says: "Senator Ingalla's idea of Civil Service Reform is to promptly remove every in competent Democrat' all Democrats being incompetent under his creed 'and fill his place with &c honest, intelligent, uncom promising Republican.'

No tidings have yet been received here of the three young men who it is feared were lost in Currituck Sound last Thursday night, Messrs. Thad. Branch, John Keeter and Chas. Bar nitz. Mr. J. W. Branch, the father of Thad. Branch, received a letter yesterday from Capt. J. H. Williams, of the Stetson. The letter was written from Elizabeth Citv and was dated Sunday and in it Captain Williams says: I am sorrv to inform, you that the theee men are yet missing. On last Thursday evening Thad. Branch, Keeter and young Barnitz left the dredge to go to Powell's Point P.O. after the mail. They reached the shore all right, got the mail and left for the dredge between 6 and 7 o'clock. They were under sail and that is the last tidings we have heard of them. - - . It is possible they were blown on the lee shore. If such was the case. the distance was about 15 miles. The captain of the dredge, myself and three more men went ashore 'and searched the beach for miles, but found nothing of them, nor any part of the boat. We inquired of all passing steamers of a stray boat, but no tidings could tney give us. We also went to tne lighthouse, but could hear nothing tnere. uapt. Mcuonneit is nere witn us and is trying in every way to hear something from tne missing men. xms is tne Dest information we can give you at present. We will leave here to-morrow morning at 5 o'clock for the dredge. We are in hopes of Hearing something of the men when we reach the dredge. Cbncei In the Office of tta Atlantic roaat Line.

Jtupia Atklnaaa. '' On yesterday morning; in the City of Baltimore, at th residence of Dr." Robert Atkinson, Mrs. Josepha At kinson relict of the late Thomas At kinson, LL.D., Bishop of the' Diocese of the North Carolina Protestant Episcopal Church, died, aged about SO. She had been in declining health for some years, and for a year or mere had been a sufferer, being confined almost entirely to her chamber. She was bornr we think, in the little his toric eity.of Petersburg, Va. Her maiden name was Wilder. She was woman of most striking character. -Well born, connected with many of the leading families in her native State, refined, accomplished, cultiva ted, intelligent beyond most of her sex, she was a woman of mark, of force, of influence. She was practi cal, had decided managing talents, was a clear-headed and sincere friend, had intuitive decision, had "pru dence to withhold," was of large and active benevolence, was an earnest Christian, was a help-meet to her dis tinguished and admirable husband of blessed memory, and lived a life of faith in the Son of God. 'Her life serene: God gave her peace. A thousand claims to reverence closed In her as Mother, Wife, and Friend." She never lost a child, and up to Bishop Atkinson's death, after a wedded life of fifty years, there had been no death in her immediate fam ily. She had every comfort that life required, commanded the love and veneration of a large circle of rela tives and friehds, and at an advanced age went to her rest. But few people knew of her many acts ofjjsympathy and benevolence. Only those who were in the most in timate relations with her knew of her constant efforts to palliate suffer ing and make easier the hard lot of the poor. She made it an invariable rule nev er to turn away any one soliciting alms. It was the principle of her life to give one-tenth of her actual income to the cause of Christian be nevolence. She said she would con- aider it as robbing the Lord if she failed to give at least ten cents of every dollar she received. She was very much attached to those of her own blood and to her husband's kin. She was the first mover in the estab lishing of St. Paul's Church in this city, and as long as she could was its most earnest friend and supporter. She leaves a daughter, Mrs. Mary Buel, wife of Rev. Dr. Buel, of Ashe- ville, and two sons, Col. J. W. Atkin son, of this city, and Dr. Robert At kinson, of Baltimore. Her remains will be brought to this city for inter ment, by the side of her husband in St. James Church. Deatb of Mr. M . B. Parker. The sad intelligence of the death of Mr. William M. Parker was re ceived here yesterday afternoon through a telegram from Fayette- ville. He died'at the Hotel LaFay- ette in that place at 3 p. m., after a severe hemorrhage of the lungs, with which he was attacked while on his way to the boat coming to this city. The dispatch to the Star announcing Mr. Parker's death states that the remains will leave Fayetteville by train this afternoon at half-past three o'clock. They will reach here to night, and the funeral will take place to-morrow afternoon, and probably from Grace Church, if the necessary arrangements can be made. Mr. Parker was about fifty-nine years of age. He was a native oi Hamburg, Conn.; came to North Car olina apd settled at Asheboro in 1850, and afterwards removed to Fayette ville. where he was employed as a clerk by the late Wm. R. Utley, com mission merchant. At the outbreak of the war Mr. Parker was among the first to volunteer, and as a private served in the La Fayette Light In fantry (Co. F.) of the First (Bethel) regiment, until it was mustered out of service. Daring the latter part of the war he had charge of the State salt works on the coast below Wil mington. After the war Mr. Parker engaged in business in this city with Mr. A H. Neff, and in 1873 formed a partnership with Mr. James H. Tay lor, in the hardware business, which has ever since been successfully conducted by the firm. Mr. Parker was a quiet, unobtru sive gentleman, but was ever active in works of charity and benevolence; devoted to his church and to his friends, and with a warm heart full of the kindliest sympathy for all. He was chairman of the Board of - Trus tees and Stewards of Grace M. E. Churah, and for sixteen years Super intendent of the Sunday School.

The doors were opened at 7 o'clock, and before eight the room was crowded to witness the opening of the "Jahr markt," by the ladles of and under the auspices of St. Paul's Evangelical Lutheran Church. The attendants of the respective booths were all dressed In appropriate costume. The decorations of the interior of the hall are very tasty, unique and pretty, and reflect no small amount of credit on the ladies and gentlemen whose willing hands performed the work of arranging the Spanish moss, long-leaf pines, holly trees, etc. The Museum seemed to be one of the main attractions, where were col lected a magnificent, costly and in teresting display of historical and other curiosities. Among the many was a pulpit chair of the first German Moravian Church, in Salem, N. C, 120 years old, presented for exhibition by Mr. F. W. Foster. It will be remem bered that the Moravians accepted the doctrine of the Augsburg Confes sion of the Lutheran Church, and at present use their hymns in their worship. Mrs. Foster is a descendant of the Moravian branch of the Luth eran Church. Mr. Foster has kindly oaned the Jahrmarkt, to exhibit, a spinning-wheel over one hundred years old, which is remarkably well preserved ; Indian bow and arrow, with deer-skin quiver, and other equipments, which were presented to him by Captain Jack, the celebrated Indian Chief of California; aporce- ain pitcher, sacred to the memory of George Washington, made in 1799, and manufactured in this country. It is a masterpiece of workmanship, and represents the deatb-bed scene of our country's father," with the angels bearing his soul to the realm, of peace; also, an individual drinking vessel, or porcelain tea urn, used by General George Washington while at the Butner -Hotel, at Salem, this State, in the last decade ; a number of fine specimens of gold, silver, cop per, lead, and other quartz ; a pair of Chinese slippers ; bark, burs and chips from the mammoth Sequoya tree the dead giant, 40 feet in cir cumference, from Mariposa, Califor nia. Portraits in oil of the Crown Prince Bismarck and General Von Moltke are on sale : beautiful repre sentations of German armor. Miss Amy Bradley shows a collection qf Southern reptiles, in glass jars, pre served by alcohol. The founts of artificial flowers, mate of the plum age of tropical birds, exhibited and made by Mesdames L. Hansen and William Doscher deserve more than passing mention, and show the ladies to be adepts in this art. Mr. Hans Kure has on exhibition a full-rigged three-masted schooner, enclosed in a glass vial, which is a pretty design. Another attraction ot the Menagerie and Museum is a highly educated bullfinch, imported from Australia, and placed on exhibition by Mr. Hans Kure. The little bird is kept in cap tivity by a small gold chain attached to a collar at its throat and the perch or resting rod of its little home. It feeds itself by lifting up the cover of a minature tin box, and taking from it kernels of wheat, and quenches its thirst by letting down a small tin buoket into a well, and bringing it ou$ filled with water, when it unas sumingly takes a swallow at its leis ure. This is one of the most interest ing sights of the "markt." Mr. Wil liam Niestlie displays a large collec tion of paper, copper, and silver money, of many nations; Dr. G. M. Ellis shows a mounted Canadian weasel and an ostrich egg; Miss Kate Bremer, a small sea horse; Dr. Miller, a collection of reptiles, two froesche, and many other curiosities in alco hol; a large collection of North Caro lina butterflies, by Mrs. C. Schulken; German pipes and shoes, Mrs. H. Gla- meyer; t . W. Urtmann, a musical dox in a large decanter, so arranged that when there is no liquid in the glass receptacle the instrument will discourse selections from the "Jahr markt;" an ingenionsly constructed optical delusion, by Geo. Tienken; a representation of a German birthday invitation, bearing the inscription, "Zum Geburtstage;" Mrs. Deumeland exhibits a gavel used by the Presid ing Master Turning Association of Luelack, Germany, made in 1764, and used in many sessions of that associa tion; a Chinese costume, complete, sent by the Wilmington Chinaman, Sap Lee; German beer mugs, with German silver tops, Mrs. Glameyer. More of the contents of the museum will be enumerated to-morrow. The Germania Cornet Band was present last night, and discoursed many popular selections. The booths were arranged in num bers, and were as follows, commen cing with the" Cigarren Bride at the left as you enter the room, and to the left of that .the Bilder Gallerie And Museum, Kaapaf auf dem Jahrmarkt, l?Ameh Zlmmer, Tyrolese Tent of Miscellany, Berlin Emporium, Nor mandy Confectionery -and Cake " I .Booth, .HoUax Gard.n iWu Holland IJent, South.

The cutting affray on Nutt street. reported in yesterday's Star, came up for investigation before the Mayor when court opened yesterday lnoro- ng. The defendants were Sally Moore, colored, Olaf Olanssen, Wm. Walh and Harry Jansen. The testi mony showed i&At CaxI Kxuger, a German sailor, had a quarrel with the colored woman and the other defen dants took her part. When Kroger left Mrs. Bryson's house, in which the trouble began, the four defendants followed him into the street and as saulted him. At the conclusion of the investigation the four defendants were committed to jail in default of $300 bail for their appearance at the January term of the Criminal Court, and three witnesses for the State, Theodore Olsen, Harry Christoffer- sen, and Carl Kroger were also com mitted, in default of $100 bond for their appearance at the same term of court. " John and Archie Henderson, tramps, were ordered to leave the city, with the warning that they would be put on the chain gang if they returned. e fc-a" Charged with Larceny. Officer Nick Carr returned from Pender county yesterday with a col ored girl named Nancy Davis in cus tody. She is charged with the lar ceny of a gold watch, several yards of sateen, and a lace window curtain, the property of Mr. A D. Wessell, of this city. The girl was employed as a servant by Mr. Wessell, and soon af ter she left his employ last October he missed the articles mentioned. Offi cer Carr traced the girl to her moth er's house at Sloop Point, and reeov- ered some of the stolen goods. The watch, however, which was highly prized by Mr. Wessell, could not be found, although it was ascertained that the girl had worn it on several occasions and exhibited it to some of Iter acquaintances' at "Sloop Point. Abble Davis, the girl's mother, was also arrested, on the charge of re ceiving stolen goods. The warrants were issued by Justice Millis and en dorsed by G. W. Pollock, J. P.. of Pender. On account of the absence of witnesses the preliminary trial of the cases was postponed until the 14th inst., at 10 a. m. Important Change. An important change in tne run nine of trains on the Carolina Cen tral Railroad is to be made next week. The day train is to be discontinued. and the entire mail and passenger business will be transferred to the nieht train. The management all regret the necessity for the change, but they say the day train is being run at a loss, and this is the sole rea son for its discontinuance. It is greatly to be regretted that the business of the road does not justify the running of both trains, but the figures show that the passenger traf fic (except in the summer months) is too small to make the day train pay- expenses. The change will go into effect eith er on Monday or Wednesday next. Timely Waralag. Mr. B. R. Russell who "biles the water" that makes tbe steam for the "Atlantic" fire engine, has been very much annoyed by persons other than firemen getting on the rear of the machine when on the way to a fire.- Yesterday he consulted Mayor Fow ler as to what course to pursue, and was told that it would be lawful for him to use sufficient force to remove intruders who interfered with the proper performance of - his duties as fireman. Acting under this advice Mr. Russell will hereafter use "suffi cient force" if the persuasive powers of a wrench or spanner fail to induce intruders to "get off," when request ed to do so. BITBB AND B1ABINK. German brig Atlantic arrived below yesterday. in British steamship aratmo,Luke, hence, arrived at Liverpool, Dec. 4th. NorwegiAn brig San Juan, Capt. A.
