I. have been - reading Sbout the old times, beginnings as far back as Tocahontas, the beautiful In dian maiden i who was married John Kolfe in 1614,. and was converted by him to Christianity and christened with the name of Lady Rebecca. It ia a beautiful, romantic story, ajid if Long fellow had been a Yirginiin he would hiaye immortalized her in verse. ' -During the war we were shown the reputed place near the Chicahominy where she threw herself upon the breast of Crfnt. John Smith to save himT and did save ram, from an awful death. The un grateful fellow ought to have" married her, lor 6he loved him. but he nut in substitute and got his friend "Rolfe to do IE ana wrote a nice letter to Queen Anne asking 4hat J.ady Rebeccar be received at court, for ehe was a princess whose latter was king over thirty tribes, and that this marriage had made a - lasting peace between,ihe races, r That reminds me of what Joseph us says about Moses Pharaoh made Moses his eeneral-in chief to lead the Egyptian army against the Ethiopians, who were a very Dower ful nation, and whoso army was advan cing on -Lgypt.i Moses. understood the nank movement as . $'ell as old Jo.e Jetnnston,, and got in their rear and at tacked their royal city, A princess, the only daughter of the old Ethiopian xvpg, saw iuosts irom a tower, and was soi fascinated with his magnificent per son that she sent out a flag of truce and hakl a conference with him and told him that she wa8 dying for love of him and that he would niarry her she would mike peace and withdraw her army, lie looked upon her and listened to her and surrendered, which I reckon was one of "the misteks of Moses.", fnr Aaxon and Miriam threw it up to him foij veara afterward. ut Rolfe made no mistake, and from that union came the Randolphs, Whit les, Bolhngs and Robertsons, of Vir ginia. John Randolph, of Roanoke, was the seventh m line of direst de scent, and the Indian cropped, out in his; character all his life devotion to hissfriends and hatred of hia enemies. On a slight? provocation he challenged WuTs,ter to light a duel and Webster made short work of a reply. "You w'eite not entitled, sir, to make a demand onljme for explanation nor do I recog nize your right to call me to the field to answer what you plase to call an insult to our feelings; It is enough to say tnat I uo.not feel bound to accept from anjt man an invitation of this sort, tholighl shall ! always be prepared to repel m. a suitable manner the aeares- aioii of any man who may presume upon such a refusal." I believe that those grand men of the oldn time had more political strife thah we have now for there was more at stalje in constructing a new govern-1 moil tulia there is now in keeping it constructed. And there were greater meii m those days. Thev were scholars andjthey were patriots. We - have no such scholars in politics nowadays not onelwho can happily use in a great ora- tioni The letters of Webster, Adams, JeffOrson, Rutledge and Randolph are full of them, and I make bold - to say thafoio man can ever be a great orator who is not a thorough classical scholar. Thejpresent generation of Senators and Reja-esentatives are not scholars. They are only trimmers and .skimmers com pared with the giants of former days. But they had some ambitious rascals amciig them,- Washington was barely chosen Commander-in-Chief. All New England and Pennsylvania wanted Gen. Ward, of Massachusetts, and even after the evolution was well under way Gen. Gates laid a scheme to supplant him. But Sold John Adams stood iy him from i first 4o last and lost thereby some of his own popularity at home. I have great respect for Adams. It is refreshing to read about these old times -when Jefferson and Madison 1-and "John Adams and Washington and Ben I'-ranklin and Fatrick Henry lived and jshone like 'stars in the political heavens; and about John Hancock, whose jgreat big classic hand is first to the declaration of independence. He was the richest man in Boston and the mos unquenchable patriot, but he signed first-only because he was the President of tlie Continental Congress. The first Stats that was called was Georgia, and Button Gwinnett the first to sign that patriotic and perilious document. I am proud of that, for Georgia is my native State, .and Gwmnett my birthplace. Lyman Hall's and George Walton's names came next on the roll of honor, and in X818 . three countiea adjoining each other were laid out and riampd for them. " It seems from these' old records that the resolutions that declared our inde pendence was passed ou the 2d day of July; and John Adams wrote to his wife the next day and said : "The' 24 day of Jy, 1776,' will be the most memor able epoch in the history ;- of America, and - will be celebrated by succeeding generations asjh.e great anniversary festival. It will be commemorated from one en of the continent to the. other as the qay of our deliverance," i Bujt it 8eein8 that the trimmings had not been put on. The colonies had 'only teeceded. They b,w not told the worla why; and so on the 4th the whqle jthin as written by Jefferson was passed, i Mi Jefferson tells an .'amusing story about that. He had in the original draftjblamed England for conniving at the' African slave trade and this part was voted down by South Carolina and Georgia because i they wanted to. buy more, slaves, and by New England be causd they were making large moneys y bringing Slaves from Alnca ana seiir hpm tn the tioutnern colonies, :, ou St wfli stricken and hevf Eneland con itiQuqp the business at the old stand, udgi Story, the; great jurist, tried to stop it in 1820 by charging the grand )ury in Portland and JJoston, bu.t tb.ey denounced hjm tfie public press and hey didn't stop it, Tut found another narket in South America and I ami not sure they have stopped it.yet. Some body s buying them "with rum and bendipg ' them to Madagascar so the papers said not long ago. . , ! Speaking of that great and good man, jfudge Story, reminds me of ,,whftt : Ue wrote about , woman more than half a century ago.' He says: "I was early struck with the activity 'and power o"f the female mind. I went ' to school with girls until I was fifteen years old and they were quite jur equals , if not our superiours in our Btudies and ac quirements and had much, greater quickness of perception and delicacy of feeling.- I then imbibed the opinion which I haye often since had confirmed that their talents are fully equal to those of men. The difference in after years in intellectual power comes" from the fact that education stops with them about the time it effectively begins with men. Their pursuits in life do not enable them afterward to cultivate science or litera ture with much diligence or success." - Ihis is a faet clearly stated, bui, if Judge' Story was living now and should visit the exposition, he would be still more confirmed in his opinion by wit nessing what woman in her new sphere is doing for the world's progress. ' , ,. Jefferson was never satisfied with the mauuei m wuicu uis ueciarauon oi in aependence was hawked- at and muti lated, and said "but what else could we expect of a body of men that had 150 lawyers in it whose trade it is to ques tion everything yield nothing and talk by the hour? I served - with IGen. Washington iu the' Legislature and" with T 1 1.1- v- - xrauK.ua in tjongress ana never heard either of them Bpeak more than tea minutes at a time nor to anv but ,the main point which was to: decide the question." . Ben Franklin tried to comfort him by tellinxr how a friend of his who sold hats designed a sign board to be painted. So he wrote it out: "John Thompson, hat ter,.,, makes and sella hats for ready money," and had a figure of a hat sub joined. He concluded, however, to submit if to his friends. The first said there was too much hat" about it, and made him strike out "hatter." The next advised him to strikeout "makes," for nobody cared whetherhe made them or not,' so that was stricken. .Another told him to strike out "for ready money," as nobody was selling goods on a credit, so that much was left out. The last friend said : "Well, now, strike out 'sells hats,' for nobody expects you to give them away." So it finally read : "John Thompson," with a figure of a hat added. After the war with England was over it took a long time for real peace to come. On both sides there' were friends to reward and enemies to punish. : Everything English was boy cotted and snubbed, until at last the bitterness broke out again in the war of 1812. Our North and South might take a lesson from this and quit quarreling over sectional matters. The hostility was so intense that when George Fred erick Cook, the great English tragedian, was mvitea to come to Philadelphia to act and was promised the patronage of the Presidentand his Cabinet, he scorn ed it in an insulting reply, saying: 'No sir, I act before Kings and Queens and nobles I-will -not degrade myself by acting for xankee Doodle.-", - Une of our nursery rhyme books made a change in -.

The, only way seems to be for a new set of children the children to grow up and intermarry. Bill Am , - The Corse of Office Holding. ;: Farmers' Voice. Somebody must hold office, but the man who does submits to a sacrifice that is appalling. Office holding, as a rule, is a ungating curse to ins omce noldcr Once he tastes the "sweets" of office he is as much under the control of the office holding passion as the drunkard is under the control of: his appetite. Nothing satisfies him but a per manent position at the public crib. though very often the man ; could earn ten times more outside of politics than inl Think of a business man ,or professional man straicing every nerve and spending lots of money to go to the legislature at $5 day. But - hun dreds do it, and regard defeat, which sensible men would regard as a blessing, as a : serious and almost irreparable misfortune. If it is an appointive office and the man unfortunately succeeds in holding it for a series of years, but at last is discharged, he is aa helpless as a babe, for he is utterly unfit for other occupations. This j3 especially true of old men who lose their positions at Washington. It' is said that one of this class recently cried like a child over his misfortune. Better remain on the farm or in the workshop or in any pri vate' business than to embark on the troubled sea of politics." There is not much honor in it, and there is stilt less money than honor, if the fingers do not have wax on them; and it is bqttert to be an honest pauper than a dishonest official. If a man maintains a clear conscience, he can live and' die with at least onejpricele8s treasure. . '. A Groat Battle. Is continually going on m the human system.

N." O., THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER 26, 1895: THE KIXGBOat OF GOD," Eev. Dr. Kligo Expounds These Words Applied to Personal Manhood. aa News and Observer, 16th. JJam street M.-E. fchurch was crowd - ed, and many had to be turned away for want of room, yesterday morning. The occasion was the preaching of the ser mon at the opening lerrn at Trinity College by President Kilgo-1 Dr. The ophilus Moore, of Florida, land Rev. W, B. Doub occupied the pulpit with Dr. Kilgo. The choir sang, "Oh, pray for the peace of Jerusalem f and Dr. Kilgo opened the service with a special prayer for the Btudents, tlie. college and schools. He then read the 20th chap ter of Matthew, asking the closest atten tion of his hearers to the reading. The text was Luke 17th chapter, part of 20th and 21st verses.'- "The Kingdom of God cometh not with observation: neither shall they aay, Lo here!, or -k ithere ! for beho?d the Kingdom of God is within you." i ' He began by expressing pleasure at having an opportunity to address the young men at the beginning pf their couise, and thanked the congregation for the kindness in giving them the use pf their house of worship. He! said that he had recently been asked by a young preacher to give him a text on which to preach a gospel sermon on education, to outline the subject and give name of POoks on the subject, tile lamented the fact that the question of Christian edu cation had received so little (attention from the pulpit, but .congratulated the Church m that it was becoming agitated pn the subject. A broader interpreta tion of the Bible was at handi hut the phurch had no cause : to fear; on that score; that there was no danger of ex- nausting it, The Son ol God will al ways be found in advance of all human i, 1 J rr,, I .. . luuuju i auu progress, ine world is waiting for us to bring it bigger thoughts, and all agitation tends in tbatidirection. i'lf, joung man," addressing' the can didates for the ministry, ; "ypu can't carry something into the old world to ifriake it richer,' your call is doubtful or you have abused it. The whole ques tion involved in the genius of Christian ity is to be found in the declaration, 'Behold!- the kingdom of God is within you." It commends itself not by the promise of future reward, but in the manhood it will produce. If it has no manhood in it, what is ft worth ? It does not look to. the colonization of some untnown spiritual realm, but to the building up of a kingdom! in our own consciousness. All truth is tror- minal resurrection Terminal. I and its value lies in its productive forcee. These forces are to . be found in you, land the throne of God is to be set up in your own . consciousness. There can be no sublimer thought than this this king dom (do you understand ? Hans' on t0 the word! of God." Here! he ex plained the significance of the- words kingdom of God, and this is to be set up m you. I he Master spoke kingdom words; those were the words that burn ed, that set the truth as it were: on fire. The Son. of God wants personal man hood only. If you have this kingdom in you it is a personal right, and you can go into the holy of holies, whether you have the' blood of Aaron in you or not, and you can set up an altar for ac ceptable sacrifice anywhere. He then took up several of the parables, 1st. That which is the kingdom of! God is likened to a mustard seed and showed that it was one of development and growth.

Chicago Record. - There is an odd little town on Johnson island, in x the Mississippi river, just north of Memphis. It is a megro town and is owned by a negro" planter. ' The island is eleven miles in area and ' it is under the Tennnessee statutes. The town ia a taxing aistrict and not incor porated; Judson is the name of the place named after the white planter whosffson is the mulatto owner of the island. The ca3e in which the morganatic son won the rich property in contesting the will of the dead planter is well remembered. and the courts duly allowed him part of Uje inheritance, Bince ht was the only Mmg issue of Judson. ' : $o far as known, Judson is the only negro town in America where there is not a white man, Elmer Judson, its wealthy owner, allows no white man to come except on a visit. The town, has 450 inhabitants "and is well organized, since Judson is a highly educated and progressive: man. He owns everything on the island, and most of the inhabi tants are his tenants. He is a justice of the peace and has provided happy homes for the men who. work for him and enjoy his bounty.! The island is about eight miles in length and in a few places 83 not more than sixty yards wide. The land is unusually rich and fine crops-:are produced every year. There are six stores iri the place, with a few pShops, two churches and a school. Fastest Train on Earth. Buffalo, N. Y., Sept. 11. The New York Central flyer arrived at the Central Station in Buffalo at 12:40, having made the distance from New York to Buffalo, 440 miles, in 7 hours. This beats the time rof the Empire State express 1 hour and 40 minutes, and knocks nearly three-quarters of an hour from the latest and much vaunted EngTi&ll record of 420 milesfrcm Euston to Perth in 7:45.- Charley Hogan, the pilot of the En gine 903, was Burrounded by a crowd eager to congratulate him on the run from Syracuse, 149 miles in 141 min utes. Hogan said that he could have done 10 minutes better, but for a heavy head wind which he encountered in the run from Batavia. As it as, he made the last 30 miles in 24 minuutes; averag ing 48 seconds to the i mile. Several miles, however, were reeled off much faster than that average.; . ' , Justice IJrewer on Law Reform. The address read by Justice Brewer, of the United States Supreme Court, be fore the American Bar Association,, on the need of a better education for the le gal profession, is- attracting great atten-? tion in the press on account of the rad ial sujrerestions contained thereiu with reference to administration of justice in general. Justice Brewer deploi ed the law a delays and the failures of the courts to meet tha public necessities. The profession, he said, is becoming crowded with unfit men who are debas ing it into the meanest of avocations, and it would, be a blessing to all true lawyers as well as to the people "if some JNoachian deluge would ensrulf half of those who have a license to practice."

Home and Farm." j --f .' '. - , Home and Farm stands for good hur morr cheerfulness and common sense in politics, and in everything else, but even into our columns creep a little bad tem per and verbal abuses. ; Only a little, though, for busy, honest and upright men, though earnest,- and often 'serious, are still, as a rule,' even tempered and nbt inclined to resort to hard words. ' But North Carolina ia just now ex citedy by rthe utterances of Dr. Cyrus Thompson, who, unfortunately, happens to be president, of the North Carolina Farmers' Alliance. - -, - - : In a recent public speech Dr. Thompr son, who has a great many plana for re forming society which do not commend themselves to the great mass of his fal low citizens, grew angry, and turned on the church as the center bf opposition. "The church," says he, "stands on the side of human slavery." -. r Dr. Ihompeon is fortunate enough, or unf ortunab enough, to have in his conflict with the church a newspaper ownea py uianon iJutler, who last year. supped into the United States Senate. Butler says: ' "Dr. Thompson does not make an as sertion unless he knows what he ia sav ing. He attacked the organized church and not Christianity, -and he will whip ii. u mere is a contest, The truth is on the aide of what he said." v ; . : It ia not strange; that infidels and an archists, from Ingersoll to Butler and Thompson, attack the church, but thpv have even, when combined, no power permanenuy to injure the church. - In truth, - the church, the organized CEristain Church, is the great defender of the poor, the helper of the needy, the susiamer oi those cast down. It abol- lishes caste distinction, and places man ju. mo uu use a ms own master. " rne cnurcn, nice cnanty; suffereth long, and is kind. It takes from the rich-and gives to the poor. It breaks down the wall of selfi'ihness and makes the whole world kin. It restrains the'power of the mob, and teaches patience to the multi tude and to those inpower.- ' It is not possible to exaggerate the beneficient influences of the church on mankind. In just so far as the civiliza tion of this day is broader; more gener ous, more gentle, more kindly; in aword, more humane; just id so far aa it reach es tne .masses rather than the classes, modern civilization pwea its superiority to the civilization of ancient Greece and Rome and Egypt to Christ, to Christi anity and to the Christain church. While it is true that many crimes have at different stages of history been committed in the name of the church: wuiie u is true mat savage brutality has marked some of its pages, still, we have but to compare the condition of the mul titude today with its condition two thou sand years ago; with its condition today in nations wnicn know npf the church to see at once that the church is the foe of human slavery and the friend of hu man progress. - But for this very reason it stands as a very lion in the path of passionate, un reasonable, ungoverned men like the anarchists of Europe and America; a'foe alike to those who turned the French revolution into a carnival of blood and to- those who in America today would overthrow all established order that they may for a moment be eminent. ; We know nothing of theDr., Thomp son, but from this utterance he is a type of men W3 Know in the city--profession-al reformers, or agitators, who, ignorant of the first principle of government, self control, seek in the name of liberty to subject others to their will, t , - These men do the cause of the people infinite harm . We 1 mean a they delay the comming of the time when the ordi nary comforts of fife will, be within the reach of every sober and - industrious man and woman. - : That is what civilization is bringing us. . Looking back we realize thatmuch has been done in this direction, and that more and better things await us, the multitude receiving an ever increasing proportion of ' an ever increasing pro duct. . - - That is material civilization, and ma terial prosperity has a tendency to dead en men's -sympathies and to harden their hearts. . The church comes teach ing that all men are brothers; the chil dren of a common father, who says: "Inasmuch as-joujlo it unto them, you do it unto me." - 7 So the church, With its teachings, and its institutions and its customs; with sermons, songs and prayers; the church at the bridal and at the grave, softens all the hard lines of life, puts -courage in-the hearts of those who are disturbed, and gives strength' to those who are weak, putting an everlasting arm under those; who have fought the good fight and kept the faith.-. 1 , "-. Men and women, wherever you are, distrust the man who in the name of any cause tries to advance it by attack ing the church. , ' ' 1 - , . Better Price for Cotton.- . The Macon (Ga.)
