Thoolo°;ical Semiuary, ho was appointed a tutor 

 of Greek in his alma mater, with the prospect of 

 a professorship, if he would accept. But his 

 heart was set upuu the foreign missionary 

 work. HemoTThage from the lungs compelled 

 him to resign his tutorship and go south. Heart 

 disease developed itself; on the way to the new 

 country in 1832 he came near dying of it at 

 Vicksburg. At Little Rock he lay sick for 

 months; but when able to sit up he and his 

 wife started for this place to begin a new 

 station in the wilderness. For years he 

 could not catch and saddle his own horse, nor 

 could he mount from the ground, nor did he 

 dare to ride except on a walk or a pace. His 

 death was caused by heart trouble. — Edwards.

Kev. Allen "Wright was a native Choctaw, 

 with a little white blood, probably one-eighth or 

 one-sixteenth. In his youth he lived some time 

 in the family of the Rev. Cyrus Kingsbury. 

 He had bsgun his education at a missionary 

 day school, and continued it while with Mr. 

 Kingsbury and afterwards at Spencer Acad- 

 emy. From there lio was sent to a college in 

 Delaware, but afterwards went to Union Col. 

 lege, Schenectady, N. Y., where he graduated. 

 Then he took a full course iu Union Theologi- 

 cal Seminary, Now York City, and wasordained 

 by the Indian Presbytery iu 1856. About that

time he was made national treasurer. At the 

 close of the war he was appointed one of the 

 delegation to visit Washington to negotiate a 

 new treaty with the United States government. 

 While absent he was elected principal chief. 

 He died in 1885, aged somewhat over sixty. He 

 was a man of large intelligence, good mind, an 

 excellent preacher, and a very faithful laborer 

 for the good of his people. No other Choctaw 

 that I ever met could give such clear explana- 

 tions of difficult points in the grammar of the 

 Choctiivf. —Edtvaids.
