phar Papers" (1853); " Nothing to Wear " (1857), one of the earliest publications of George W. Carle- ton, for which the publisher began to draw the designs, but turned them over to his friend, Mr. Hoppin, who made the drawings on wood ; " Mrs. Partington's Sayings " ; and " The Autocrat at the Breakfast Table." His first publication was a bro- chure, entitled " Carrot Pomade," with illustrations (New York, 1864). After a journey to Europe and the east in 1871 he published a series of illustrated sketch-books, bearing the titles '"On the Nile" (Boston, 1871) ; " Ups and Downs on Land and Water: the European Tour in a Series of Pic- tures " (1871) ; and " Crossing the Atlantic " (1872). During the Boston musical festival he was the artist for a series of illustrated papers entitled "Jubilee Days," which were afterward collected into a volume (1872). His other books are a hu- morous illustrated volume called "Hay Fever" (1§73) ; a work of fiction called " Recollections of Auton House," with illustrations by the author, under the pen-name of " C. Auton " (1881) ; " A Fashionable Sufferer," also illustrated (1883) ; and " Two Compton Boys " (1885). He is also the author of an anonymous romance " Married for Fun" (Boston, 1885). — Their cousin, William Warner, b. in Providence, R. I., 1 Sept., 1807 ; d. there 19 April, 1890. He was graduated at Yale in 1828, and at the law school in 1830. After serv- ing in the municipal boards of Providence he was sent to the state senate in 1853, and in 1854 was elected governor. He was re-elected in 1855 and 1856, and was nominated for a fourth term, but declined. In 1856, when assured of election to the U. S. senate, he withdrew in favor of his friend, James F. Simmons, and in 1858 he was a candidate for the same office, but was defeated by Henry B. Anthony. He was a delegate to the peace con- ference in 1861, and in 1866 he was again returned to the state senate. While a member of that body he procured the passage, against much opposition, of the ten-hour law for labor. He became a regis- ter in bankruptcy in 1872, and in 1875 sat in the lower house of the legislature. Many of his speeches and messages have been published. — Will- iam Warner's brother, James Mason, educator, b. in Providence, R. I., 17 Jan., 1820, was graduated at Yale in 1840, studied law at the Harvard law- school, where he was graduated in 1842, and then theology at the Union theological seminary in New York, and at Andover seminary, being graduated at the latter institution in 1845. He pursued the study two years longer at the University of Berlin, under Neander, travelled for a year in Germany, Greece, and Palestine, and from 1850 till 1859 was pastor of a Congregational church in Salem, Mass. In 1861 he accepted the chair of homiletics and the pastoral charge in Yale. During the first two years of his professorship he acted as pastor of the college church, and in 1872-'5 lectured on forensic eloquence in the law-school. In 1879 he resigned the chair of pastoral theology in order to assume that of the history of art. In 1880 he taught homi- letics in the Union theological seminary, New York city. He received the degree of D. D. from Knox college, Galesburg, 111., in 1870. Prof. Hoppin is the author of " Notes of a Theological Student " (New York, 1854) ; " Old England, its Art, Scenery, and People " (Boston, 1867) ; " Office and Work of the Christian Ministry " (New York, 1869) ; " Life of Rear- Admiral Andrew Hull Foote" (1874); "Memoir of Henry Armitt Brown" (Philadelphia, 1880) ; " Homiletics " (New York, 1881) ; and " Pas- toral Theology " (1884). The last two are the di- visions of his work entitled " The Office of the Ministry," revised and re-written. He has also contributed numerous articles to the " Bibliotheca Sacra " and to the " New Englander." HOPPING, Enos D., soldier, b. in New York city about 1805 ; d. in Mier, Mexico, 1 Sept., 1847. He joined the United States army during the Mexican war, and was appointed a brigadier-gen- eral on 3 March, 1847, but died six months later, while stationed on the Rio Grande.


HOPSON, Winthrop Hartly, clergyman, b. in Christian county, Ky., 26 April, 1823. He re- moved with his parents to Missouri in childhood, was graduated at the state university in 1841, and entered the ministry of the Christian church. He received the degree of M. D. from McDowell col- lege, St. Louis, in 1843, and practised his profes- sion for six years, not ceasing in the mean time from his ministerial work. His ministrations were usually protracted for weeks at an appointment, preaching twice daily. Great success attended these labors, and he made thousands of converts. He gave much attention to the founding and nur- turing of schools and colleges, and was mainly instrumental in building up a flourishing female academy at Palmyra. In 1860 he accepted a call to the pastoral charge of the Main street church, Lexington, Ky., where he preached for' over two years. During the civil war Dr. Hopson's sympa- thies were with the south. After the Bragg and Buell campaign and the Morgan raids in Ken- tucky in 1862, he was seized by the military au- thorities, cast into prison at Lexington, and soon afterward removed to Johnson's island. By the ruse of some friends, but unknown to Dr. Hopson, his name was placed on a list of prisoners for ex- change, as chaplain of a command in the Confed- erate army. He was sent through the lines, and in June, 1863, made his way to Richmond, Va., and shortly afterward settled at Bowling Green, where he preached for a year. After the war he was called to the church in Richmond, Va., where he continued for over three years, and then ac- cepted a call to the 1st Christian church, Louis- ville, Ky., with which he spent the next six years. He returned to Missouri in 1874, and remained a year in charge of the church there ; after which he became president of Christian university, Can- ton, Mo., serving successfully in this office until 1877, when he was prostrated by disease, which compelled his retirement.


HORAN, Eduard John, Canadian R. C. bishop, b. in Quebec, Canada, in 1817; d. in Canada. fl Feb., 1875. He began his studies in the Seminary of Quebec at an early age, was ordained priest in 1842, and subsequently appointed one of the di- rectors of the seminary. On the foundation of the normal-school at Quebec he was made its principal, and held also a high office in the Laval university. He was promoted to the bishopric of Kingston in 1858, and under his care the diocese was enriched with many valuable charitable and educational in- stitutions. He was an assistant of the pontifical throne, and took part in the deliberations of the Vatican council, where he was a strenuous advocate of the definition of papal infallibility. Bishop Horan was compelled by sickness and growing infirmities to resign his see some time before his death.
