Dec 22.An event of more than ordinary interest in EDis copal religious circles occurred here yesterday. It was the ordination by Bishop Howe to the deaconate of the of Rev. E. N, Holtings, a young Colored theological student. Holtings is the second Colored man who hastaken holy orders in the Diocese of Charleston. He is 33 years old, was born in Charles ton, and educated at the Saxon School for Freedrnen, established here by Northern philanthropists at the close f the war. The ordination services took place at St. Mark's, the Colored Episco pal Church of the city, the clergymen participating being Bishop Howe and the Rev. Doche, A. Porter, and J. V. Welch, white, and J. H. M. Pollard, Col ored. There was only a sprinkling of white persons present. 'I he ordination bears directly upon the color war that has been raging in this diocese for the last ten 3 ears. This war led two years ago to the withdrawal from the diocese convention of most of the prominent clergymen. The diffi culty was temporary bridged over, but the fight is expected to be renewed at the convention of 1889. The ordination of Mr. Holtings is regarded as a declara tion by the clerical wing that they in tend to remain steadfast for the rights of Colored brethren. An Old Abolitionist Dead.

The Magnificent" Manner Which a Colored Lady in Mrs. Kate Teagle was Interre d. Philadelphia, Dec. 26.The body of Mrs. Kate Teagle, wife of West Chester's famous Colored doctor was interred at that place this morning with more pomp than has atteeded any recent funeral in this locality.

By an arrangement made before her death she was to-day laid out in a coffin which she hadthem ordered and inspected herself, and which will cost her wealthy husband the sum of $1,000. In appearance it is an exact reproduction of the casket in which the body of the late Samuel J. Tilden was incased, and it comes from the same manufactory. The wood from which it is made is the very finest cedar that could be procured, heavily lined with highly tested copper. The trim mings are of the 1 finest satin, and the pillow on which the dead woman's head rests is hand embroidered. All the other arrangements for the funeral are upon a similar scale. The funeral director was given explicit in structions to spare no expense, and he hasobeved instructions. Fifty of the finest carriages have been engaged and a sumptuous dinner provided for those who come from a distance. Mrs. Teagle was born a slave, but befrom came free by the operations of the emanicipation proclamation and came North shortly thereafter.

In her own right she was worth about $100,000 when she died. Dr. Teagle, whom she married twenty years ago, obtained a large practice as a root and herb doctor, and also amassed con siderable money.
