Students of history have been examining of late the ancient mann- scripts of Kuiope to see n hat kind of ei mons were preached six or seven bundled j'enrs ago, when the Chuich was an institution which overs had owexi and controlled all others. From the specimens given and the com- m?nttt of irveetitratoi e, we may con clude that th fatuousj preachers of old followed about the same methods as the famous preachejs of to day. It is not certain that the art of preaching has been greatly improved in modern times. There were preachers of all the types now known to us : out-of-door preachers, revivalists, preachers skilled in addressing learned audi ences, aud some who were noted for preaching to children. There was a prodigious amount of preaching done iu the Middle Ages. Besides the two Sunday sermons and those on holy days, sermons weie delivered at almost every kind of solemnity and festival. CouuciJi and synods were, of course, opeued with a sermon. A sermon was pleached at the cronaion of kings, upon the admission of knights, at the- opening of tournaments, parlia ments, negotiations, fairs and markets. When the pilgrims set cut on t tit. ii long journey to distant shiiues, a seru n was preached to them, and on their return home they were welcomed with another sermon. The. arrival and departure of an embassy were t-:!ji.a;izf'd in the same manner. Betrothals, tveddinrrs, and wedding feasts, all had tLeir special ttermons, aud every kind of anuiver say was accompanied by a setmoo. Begging sermons were in great 1 ... -1 TT . voeue during mis perioc. vast. imjicrtauce w as attached to the giv ing of alms, particularly to the poor. People were urged in many of tbese .Harmons not to put off giving alms until they were dead. Here is a parage irom a Digging sermon ae nvemi in Franc-. i eiore Columbus was born : "When a man comes to dinner in the evening at tie house of oce of his iteicvt'Oi-s or friendw, his hcbt sends a servant for him with a lan tern, to keep him -from stumbling aud failing in the mud. But if the aii vant carries that lantern beumd the guest's bach, surely it would not binder hiut from stumbiitij; or falling. Ho it in, alno, with the alms which you put away to be distributed after your death. You prepare a lantern which will be curried behind your back. Give during your lifetime, and carry the lantern before you, or cause it to be so carriwd. "I am told that this very night a poor man has died of cold and hun ger. I say to those who let him die, that their alms wiil not binder tuem from stumbling and falling into the abyss of heli." Notwithstanding the solemnity of pulpit themes, preachers were ui-tel then, as they are now, for their inc.ination to merriment. The people, too, were a ware of the great difference often existing between preaching and practice. Satirical anecdotes of the popular preachers were part of the staple of conver sation. The effect of preaching upon the appetite of the speaker was early recognized, and a bountiful repast was alwajs pryvided when a famous preacher was expected to hold forth. A story was curreut of an arch deacon, who was so impatient for the usual feast that he strode through the church, where several noble ladies were v. aiting fcr the sermon, aud hurried to the vestry behiud the altar, and began to eat his dinner without ceremony One of the ladies c:.me iu seach of the preacher. "Why, Lord ArcbDeacort," aid she, "from the beginning of the dy we haye been waiting tor you. "Oh !" said be, in reply, "I don't care about preaching." 'Very well," said the lady ; "he who confided to you the care of our -ouIs evidently did not take much interest iu them. Another clergpman the Bishop of Cambria wno uaa numed through Lis serine n to get at the feast which was to follow it, scolded the servants violently because the dinner was not ready. Wbat P cried one of his hearers. "You who have preached patience to us, can you not show a little patience t" "My dear friend," he replied, "I owe yeu an example of patieace, bi t I am in no hurry to pay my debt, and you must grant me credit." But the preachers bad their turn in 'satirizing ' the auditors. It was quite as common, sit hundred years ago, for people to fall asleep under a serrncn as it now is. A etory is related of an abbot who was preach ing to the monks of his monastery, aud observed that a large number of them were asleep in their seats. He paueed a moment, then suddenly began again in louder voice : "Once upon a time there was a king who was named Arthur." At Ibefce words ail eyes were open ed aud every head was erect. The preacher then resumed : "When I speak of God you slept, and to Lear fables you awake." Many other expedients are record-' d in the old manuscripts One preacher, who was declaiming against the malice of woman, noticed that many of the Indies present were of fended. He changed the subject thus : "Do you wish now," said he, "that I i-bould speak to you of the good woman ? t am going to talk to you of that old woman yonder whom I perceive fast aleep. For God's sake, if any one has a pin, let him wakv her. Those who sleep during the sermon are sure to be wide awake at the table." It is evident, also, that a good many men were in the habit of going out before trie sermon began; We know this because many of the ser mons which have comedown to us contain passages iu which this cus tom is reproved. - v It is ve y evident that women were then, as now, mi re under the influence of the priests than men. At the same time the preachers were remarkably free in their comments upon the follies of the sex. They were as severe in descanting upon excesses iu dress and decorations as the Puritans of a later day. One of the old sermonizers txplained why woman are not permitted to pi each : "In the first plac," said be, "be cause they have not sufficient intelli gence ; secondly, because au inferior part hss been assigned them ; and finally, in memory of the folly of the hrst woman, who, according to bt. Bernard, by opening her mouth once, overturned the world." One of the most ancient customs cf the church was the separation of men aud women during service. As theie were no pews in the old ehurches, ladies of rank set during the sermon upon stools, or cushions, brought by their servants. The rest of the congregation sat upon benches provided, and kept in the church. It was formerly supposed that the whole corgregatiou remain ed standing during the sermon, aud this was certainly the case during the first centuries. It is now, however, kuowu that as early as the twelfth century seats were gener ally provided for the congregation. Even St. Augusliue aliudes to his auditors as being seated. It is certain that congregations wrre far from beiag as quiet and orderly as at the present time In many ancient sermons we find such interruptions as this: "or God's sake, brethren, be silent and keep stil.', for you know that when the hearers are quiet tne preacher endaavois to speak better, and lh people get more profit from what he says." It was doubtless the uneasiness of the Hudieuzr, uiobt of whom sat on hard benches without backs, that compelled the ancient preachers to tell stories and fabies to stimulate the attention of the people. All the fables of iEsop were used again and again in illustration of moal truths, and certain anecdotes occur repeat edly in sermons, showing they were part of the com men wtock of the pulpit. Here is a specimen of their mode of uttiliziug popular anee dotes : "St. Martin, with the edge of his sword, cut his cloak in halves and gave one of them to a pot r man, knowing that one day God would render it to bitu again. Ah 1 that was a beautiful etroke. No, nver has there been so beautiful a piece of swordsmanship. Enough and too many songs have been sung upon It land and upon Oliver. It is said that Roland cleft the head of a man even to the jawbone It is said that O.iver cut in haiyes the bdy of a man. But all that is nothin Nei ther Roland, nor Oliver, nor Char- lemaniie, nor Oier the Dane, has had the honor of striking such a blow, - . 1-1 II a ft aid us like we suau never see m;uck to the end of the world. God! how many poor tramps we see ui clad, without shoes,and no Martin appears to cover them." Such were the sermons preached before America was discovered. The great body of them were plain, sim pie, homely explanations of the text and context, enlivened by anecdotes and fables, and ending with a vehe ment exhortation to repentance and good living.

That the right of action of the plaintiff and of the trustee as against the defendant, arising out of the al leged injury were plainly pointed out in the former appeal (91 N. C, 490). 2. That while the plaintiff in pos session is presumed to be the ouer of the land, it becomes otherwise where his title to it is put in issue and the evidence shows that he has only a naked possession. 3. That where the evidence shows a mere naked possession the measure of damage is nominal only but where the possession ia coupled with a particular interest the measure is dependent upon the character of the estate. 4. When the evidence showed that the plaintiff had conveyed the laud, including tne mill, to a trustee for She benefit of his wife that during t the continuance of the alleged injury the deed continued operative that afterwards it has declared inopera- j i a.' tne ground that it had been execu ted by mistake and misapprehension of tLe draftsman as to the extent cf the estate intended to le conveyed Held, that the deed was not -void but voidable, aud could not effect third parties without notice, to their pe judice, s to rights and advantages that they acquired under it 5.

Washing" en cor. Baltimore us. It is stated at the War Depart raent that in alt probability tne re ply to Mr. Boutell's battle flag reso lution will be transmitted to the House before the end of this weak. Tbfi Secretary of vl ar, it is said, will in the communication, admit that it was determined to return all the flags at a time when it was thought that rno law rendering such an act illegal was in existence, but immediatelT Hjpon the discovery ! such Jaw the ,.y executive order directing the return was revoked. It will be admitted that some of the flags were returned during the interim. Some of the flags have also been returned to indi viduals durius: the present adminis tration, and this too, will be adtuited. It will be shown, however, by the records of the depai t.nent that dur ing no administration have so few flags been returned as during this The War Secretary Stanton returned more of the flgs than any of bis successors. It will b staled that the custom of returning the flag to Individuals u'gested the advisiabil ity of making a clean aweep and re turning all that remained, to avoid further bother. The reply will in clude many requests for the return of the flge coming from individuals nnd organizations. The argument will be advanced that there is noth ing in the law requiring the flags in the poession of the War Department to be placed on public exhibition. The law doe require that the Navy Department keep its flags on exhi bition, but as it baa none, the re quirements of the law can hardly be complied with. Of course it will be admitted in the reply that the origi nal recommendation for the return cf the flags eminated from Adjutant- General Drum. Sa Appreciated Hr.

Now York Although it has from time to time bean suggested that the Internal revenue system would be discussed and perhaps modified in a separate measure from that which will propose reduction on tariff duties, there is ao room to doubt that the two sub jects will be treated in the same bilL While the exact amount of reduction proposed in internal revenue yet re mains to be settled by the Ways and Mean Committee, one or two things have been actually decided. There will be in the bill, which is to lie re ported to the House on Wednesday, i be 15th, a proposition to reduce the taxation of tobacco to the extant of 120,000,000. Thia means the repeal of all the tax of tobacco in every form with the exception of cigars, cigaret te, cheroots Jaud snuff, and also the repeal of a portion of the tax on the dealers in tobacco. It has also been decided to append to the bill th substance of a measure sthioli has been introduced by Mr. ItcMi.iin, a member of the Ways and Mean committee, and chairman of its tfub coinmitte on Internal Svenu, enti tled: "A bil to reduce the expense of collecting the tax on spirits, and to prevent officer of th Government from destroying property seized by them." At present every distillery is com pelled to have a storekeeper, or store keeper aud ganger. Under this measure the Secretary of the Treas ury is required to exempt from this rule those email distilleries which mash five bnahels of grain or leas per day, thus making a saving of from $2 to $3 a day to each such distillery. It also provides for the establishment of special warehouse in which any small distiller may de posit his product, which shall then be subject to all the law and regula tions as to bonds, tax, removal and otherwise, a other warehouse. A fntther provision is to enable brandy made exclusively from apples, peach ea, grapes or other fruits, to be stor ed in warehouse the same as whis key, each warehouse t be "in charge of atorekeeper or stcr keeper aud gauger, at the discretion of the coia tuisioner of Internal Revenue." Another important featue is con tained iu section 3,332 of the Revised Statute, which by the amendment which ia proposed, is to read as fol lows; "When a Judgment of for- feiturehin any case of seizure is re covered against any distillery used or fit for use in the production of distilled spirits because no bond has been givn, or against any distillery used or fit for use in the production of spirits having a registered pro ductive capacity of leas than 150 gal lons a day, every still. doub!cr, worm worm tab, mah tub and fermenting tub therein shall be sold, a in ease of other fotfeited property, without being mutilated or destroyed. And, in caae of seizure of a still, doubler, worm, worm tub, fermenting tub, mash tub or other distilling aPDara- tus of any kind whatsoever, for any offence involving forfeiture of the same, it shall be the duty of the seiz ing officer to remove the same from the place where seized to a place of safe storage, and said property so seized shall be sold as provided by law, but without being mutilated of destroyed." HendTBen's Draft. Washington Cur. WUmiBgtoa Mteaeagar. Mr. Henderson delivered to day to Chairman McMillin, of the sub-committee on Ways and Means, on inter nal revenue reform draft of sections to be included in the new tariff bill, h Laying been requested to prepare the same. It was accepted, and will be reported to the full committse. A drafted it includes features: Total repeal of the tobacco tax smoking, chewing, leaf, an off. cigar, cigarette, cheroots $30,000,000. Total repeal of the license tax wholesale, $416. 304.66, retail, $4, 587.2ti8.2L together with assesments and penalties' clause. Th total repeal of the fruit bran dy tax, $1,090,379.07; the small tax on stills and the manufacturers of stills. Store keepers and gauger are abolished, so far as concerns the small distilleries, the payment of storekeepers and gauger who enter ed on duty before their commissions were iiued, is barred by the rule of the Comptroller. Ail remedial features are included in Lis bill, recently reported by th Judiciary committee, his object be ing to bare two opportunities. Mr. Henderson hardly expect the whole of the reduction mentioned. It is considered probable that the Way aud ian uoutmittee will report a tariff biil within three weeks, and that the following features will be included: Tobacco reduced twenty millions; fruit brandy the greater part of ote million, ten cents left on the ga:lou; a rebate on tho tonaeco aud brandy on band; the abolition of store! eep er in smail distilleries. There ar also remeJial feature punishment, ect Ma-srs. Bains, 15rckenudge, and perhaps other lnetnhers of the Ways and Means Committee, are in favoi of the total repeal of the fruit brandy tax, and nave bea ail a!n since the Uut congress.
