I SERMON.
I say to you, my brethering, that -I
am not an edecated man, an' 1 am not
one o' them that Jbleeves edecation is
necessary for a Gosiiel minister, fur I
bleeve the Lord edecates his preachers
jest as he wants them to be edecated;
an although J say it that oughn t to
say it, yet in the State of Indianny
whar 1 live, thar s no man as gits a

Thar may be some here to-day, my
brethering, as don't know what per
suasion 1 am uv. Well. 1 mav sav to
vou my brethering, that I am a Hard

don't like Hardshell Baptists: but I d
rather nev a hard shell as no shell at
all. You see me here to-day, my
brethering, drest up in fine close; you
might think I was proud, but I am not
proud, my brethering, an although I
hev bin a preacher uv the gospil for
twenty year, an1 although laincapting
wis a nat boat that lies at your landing,
I'm not proud, my brethering.
I'm not gwine to tell you etlzackly
whar my tex may be found : suffice it
ter say it's in the leds of the Bible, an'
you'll find it somewhar 'tween the first
chapter of the book of Generations an'
the last chapter of the book of Revolu
tions; an" if you'll go -an sarch the
Scriptures you'll not only find my ttx
thar, but a great many other tcjcea as
"will do vou goo. I to read; an' my tex
when youshill find it, you shill find it
to read thus r
"And he played on a harp uv a thou
sand strings sperits of just men made
jterfeck."
My lex, brethefiit i. leads me to speak
of sperits. Now thar's a great many
kinds of spirits in the world. the
fust places thijfs the- sperits - as sum
folks call ghosts; then thar's the
sperits of turpentine; an' then thar's
tne sperits a some folks call liqu r,.an
I've got as good an article ur theru
kind of spent-; on my flat-boat,- as ever
was fetched down the Mississippi
River; but thar's a great many other
kinds of sperits,.for the tex -says : "He
played on a -Harp of a i-sand
strings sperits of just men made per
fect But I'll tell yon of the kind uv
sperits as is ment in the tex its fir.
That is the kind of sperits as is meiit
in the tex, my brethering. Now,
thar's a grat many kinds uv fire in the
world, hi the fust place, thar's the
common sort of fire you light a pipe or
cigar with; an' then thar's eamfire;
fire before you are ready to fall back,
an' many other kinds uv fire; for the
texsays : "He played on a Harp uv a

But I'll tell you the kind of fire as is
ment in the tex my brethering it's
hell-fire! An' that's the kind of fire
as a great many uv you'll come to ef
you don't do better nor what you've
bin doingfor the tex says, "He play
ed on a Harp uv a tltoit-sxnd strings
sperits of just men made perleck."
I Now the different sorts of fire in the
j world may be likened unto the different
persuasions in the world. In the fust
place, we have the riscopahans, an
they are ahigh-sailin' set, and they may
be likened unto a turkey-buzzard that
flies up in the air, and he goes up and
up till he looks no- bigger than your
finger-nail, an' the fust thingyouknow
he ctims down, an is a-tillin himselt

they may be likened unto the squirrel
running up a tree; for the Aiethodis
bleeves in gwine on from one degree of
grace to another, an finally on to per-
feckshun: an the squirrel goes' up an
up, an' he jumps from lim' to Hm , and
branch to branch, an' the fust thing
voir know he falls, an' down he cuius,
kerfiumnrntr; an' that's like the Metho
dis, for they is allers falling from grace
ah ! And "He played on a harp uv
a tw-sand strings sperits of just men

And then, my brethering, thar's the
Baptist ah ! and they hev been liken

an' the thunders may roll, an' tfieearth
may quake, but the possum clings thar
still ah ! An you may shake one
foot loose, but' tother's thar; an' you
may shake all his feet loose, but he
wraps his tail around the lim' sin' he
clings thar forever- ah ! for "He

I started from Statesville, N. C, No
vember 1st and reached Little Hock,
Ark., Wednesday afternoon, where 1 had
a most delightful visit of a day and a
half. Saturday I reached El Dorado
Kansas, where I joined Dr. and Mrs.
Davis. Leaving that place the next
Thursday we continued our transconti
nental journey, by the southern route,
through Colorado, New Mexico, Arizo
na and southern California. Nothing
of importance occurred except that at
Albuquerque, New Mexico, where we
stopped for Sabbath the Dr. got into
trouble on account of his good looks.
A drunken cow boy coming into the
hotel, and overcome by his winning ap

and insisted that he should "take a

with the request, but refused anything

LlF.Y TlDBALL.
John Sherman.
From the lialeih News and Observer.
We see it reported that John Sher
man on his return to Ohio from the
South proceeded to insult the people for
whom he had such honeyed words at
Birmingham and Nashville. He made
a speech in which he referred to the
"wicked" '"rebellion" and charged that
the Southern people had begun the late
war because Lincoln luul been elected
President. He denied the South the
justice of having fought for principle's
sake, for its rights under the constitu
tion as always maintained by Southern
statesmen. He declared that the South
ern people "engaged in rebellion" out
of pure 'wickedness."
Not content with this, wesee further,
he has also announced his purpose of
advocating again, his outrageous pro
position for the "protection" of the
southern negroes, a proposition which,
sis our readers well remember, looks to
a law placing the elections in the
Southern States under the supervision
and control of Federal officials. The
New York Herald thus reports an .in
terview with him in Washington City
last week :
Reporter : "What do the Republi
cans propose to' do about the alleged
intimidation of the colored voter by
the white Democrats of the South?"
Mr. Sherman : "I can't say as to
that. We certainly ought to do some
thing to protect these people. I think
we will do so in the next presidential
cauiunisrn. Just what our mode of
1 rj
procedure will be I can't tell, but we
feel that the time has come when we
ought to claim our rights. Tennessee.
North Carolina and Florida are very
closely divided politically even now.
Tennessee and North Carolina natural
ly belong to us. We ought bo have
them both."
It will thus be seen that Mr. Sher
man counts North Carolina as "natur
ally lelonging" to him. However the
people of the State may vote, he pro
poses, if possible, to have the electoral
vote of the State counted for himself
and to secure the count of enough other
Southern States to secure his election,
though the choice of those States for
the presidency may be, as it undoubted
ly will be, the Democratic nominee.
The course which has been taken and
the plan which has been mapped out
are characteristic of the hypocritical,
the wily, the truculent John Sherman.
Behold again the policy of force of the
Republican party as illustrated in the
utterances of one of the party's ideals
of statesmanship ! It remains for the
people to sav whether such presump
tion, such unpatrioticpurposes shall be
properly rebuked or not. It is a won
der that even any Republicans are to
be found willing to' support such a bold,
unscrupulous self-seeker ns Sherman
for the presidency. When he counts
on North Carolina as "naturally be
lanfins to him" he decidedly reckons
withoot his host. But the unblushing
cheek of the claim ! It far surpasses
even that of the traditional govei nment
mule.

It is announced that if the idea of
the national drill is "that there will he
but one encampment and all contes
tants will be quartered there, white ami
black mingling with freedom, that
idea is a mistake." H is said that
"while there will be a common drill
ground, it will be within the power of
the management to pitch camp in a
number of places wide distances apart,
so that no undesirable frictions or con
tiguities need result to the visiting
companies." All the same, the South

their places in the drill on a footing

The eleventh time he thinks he will

The First Saw Mills.
The old practice in making planks
was to split up the logs with wedgeSj
and, inconvenient as the .practice was,
it was no easy matter toujiersuade the
world that the thing could be done iu
any better way. Saw imlls were first
used in Europe in the fifteenth cen
tury; but so lately as 1555, an English
embassador, having seen a saw min in
France, thought it a novelty which de
served a particular-description.
It is amusing to note how the aver
sion to labor-saving machinery has al
way ugitatedrKn gland. The first saw
mill was established by a Dutchman, in
1G13: but the public outcry against.
the new-fangled machine was so vio
lent, that the proprietor was forced to
decamp with more expedition than ever
did a Dutchman before. The evil was
thus kept out of England for several
years, or rather generations; but, in
17(S, an unlucky timber merchant,
hoping that after so lon a time the
public would lc less watchful of its
own interests, made a rash attempt to
construct another mill. The guardians
of the public welfare, however, were on
the alert, and a conscientious mob at
once collected, and "pulled the mill to
pieces. -IffeX.
; We learn from the Franklin that
a homicide occurred near BushneU, on
. Saturday evening last. A man named
iGrifleth was shot and .killed by a man
j named Bryant. Wc have uot beard the
' full particulars, hut it is slated that the
difficulty grew out of an old feud betweeu
the parties. Bryant has not yet beeu ar
rested. Both men were non-residents of
the county.
