Uid not cling very, closely ta the Uxt,
but talked upon matters which struck
him as most timely and most fitting to
the surroundings. ,
'There are three grea t questions be
fore us just now," said he, among other
things Who is Christ? Where is
Christ? and- What is Christ ? The sal
vation of our souls depends upon the
answer to these questions. Neyer have
greater minds been working upon these
questions, greater tongues speaking up
on them and greater pens writing upon
them than right now. Through all
ages men nave been groping m tne
darkness for their God. -
If you see a Methodist, a Baptist Or
a Presbyterian who has not got the sense
of the indwelling of the divine Christ,
you see a Uniarian who has got into
the wrong church. " There are lots of
them around today, too, who have only
got a historical Christ. You hear me !
The preacher who knows only the Christ
of history is nothing but the president
of a literary society.
"The free fellow in this country is
the fellow who preaches the truth, the
whole truth and nothing but the truth
mind, J tell you. Some people have
said that they have run me out of places
because they didn't like what 1 said or
the way I said it, but its no such thing
No, sir: I have never run in my life. I
reckon I've got as cowardly head, arms
and lees as anybody, but legs won t run
I like the straight kind of talking. If

going to bej there to see it fly, eyep if he
has to furnish some of the fur himself
In this world the freest and happiest

day. . Gentlemen, hear me now.
know that I am going to live lorever.
know it just as sure as 1 know I am
standing here on this stage. I know
that God never made a nsn with nns
without making an ocean fur him to
swim in, and that tie never maue a
bird with wings without making the air
for him to fly in-. And 1 know th t
God never implanted the hope of ever
lasting life in the human heart without
first making a. Heaven for that soul to
live in forever
We have cot lots of subtle theories
in the latter days of this century, such
as f higher criticism' .and 'theosophy,
and lots of our preachers have got
mixed up with them. There are manv
other little fellows dabbling in 'theoso
phy' who remind me of a tadpole in
the ocean. The tadpole knows he is
there, but the ocean don't, Ob, neigh
bor, I'd rather go to. bell than go no
where. I don't want to go out like a
candle when my time comes to leave
this earth. .
'What we n ed is to fall on our
knees in penitence and prayer and take
Christ into our inmost soul. We have
got to' have more .religion, brethren,
and that's all there is to it. I never
was madder with the devil in my life
than I am today, and I'll never stop
fighting him. He's done us all some
mighty dirty work. Your preachers
say they are running him out but -they
are doing it like I saw a dog running a
hog-pnee. The dog Was ia front. - ;

2 years ago, and I've got it yet- I

dutv without counting the 'cost.' Your
Baltinore is called a city of churches
Youv'e got many Methodists, Baptists
and Presbyterians .here, and the devil
has got lots of you, but thank God be
hasn't got much!
Mr Jones closed his sermon with a
reference to the late Dighi L. Moodyt
saving in part: '"The greatest preacher,
ot this century Moody was not a
preacher at al?. He wouldn't have any
reverend' or any doctor' in front of
his name, but wanted to be plain Mr.
Moody. He was an illiterate, unedu
cated man, judged from some people's
standards, but be wag-the divinest powei
for good that the world has seen during
the last 25 years. God bless the name
and memorv of Moody 1 America is
poorer for his death."
When Mr. Jones asked that everyone
who would like to see a great religious
revival in Baltimore this year rise to
their feet pr. ctically the entire audience
arose.
' "If a place be provided for such
meeting." said he. "some time before
May 1, and if you want to command
my services, I promise that I will come
and help you."
Bachelor aad Fllrta.
Some old bachelors git after a
flirt.
and don't travel as fast as she doz, and
then concludes awl the female group
are hard to ketch, and good for nothing
when they are ketched.
A flirt is a rough thing to overhaul,
unless the right dog gets after her, and
then they make the very best of wives.
When a flirt really is in love, she is
as powerlees as a.mown daisy.
1 Her imprudence then changes into
modesty, her cunning into fear, her
spurs into a halter, and her pruning
hook into a cradle.
TheCbeet way to ketch a flirt is tew trav
el ther way from which they are going,
or sit down on the ground and whistle
some lively tune, till the flirt comes
round.
Old bachelors make the flirts, and then
the Arts get more than even by making
the old bachelors.
A majority of firts get married finally.
for they hev a ereat quantity of the
moat dainty titbits of of woman's na
ture, and alwushave shrewdness to back
up their sweetness.
Fiirts don't deal in po'tfy and water
grewel; they hev got to hev brains, j or
else somebody would trade them out of
their capital at the first sweep.
Disappointed luv must uv course ve
all on one side; this ain't any more ex
cuse fur being an old bachelor than it
iz fur a man to quit all kinds of manual
labor list out uv spite, ,and jine a poor
house because he kan't lift a tun at one
pop.
An old bachelor will ' brag about ; his
freedom to you, his relief from anxiety
his independence. This iz a dead beat,
past resurrection, for everybody knowe
there ain't a more ' anxious dupe than
he iz. All his dreams are charcoal-
sketches of boarding school misses; he
dresses, crease-? bis hair, paints his
grizzly mustache, cultivates bunyons
and corns to please his captains, the
wimmen, and only gets laffed at fur his
pains. ,
I tried being ah old bachelor till I wuz
about twenty years old, and came very
near dying a doz3n times. I had more
sharp pain in one year than I hev had
since, put it all in a heap. I was in a
lively fever all the time. Josh Billings.
Reflections of a Bachelor.
New TorK Press.
It isn't a man's fault that he was once
a babvi but it always makes him
ashamed to think of it.
When a woman wants to get another
woman mad Bhe giyes her some fancy
thine: that the second woman gave her
last Christmas.
Every woman spends a lot of money
every Christmas buying presents for
people that she would be a lot happier
if she didn t know.
Nowadays a man has got to give the
girl he used to give a 70-cent diary to a
$7-dollar lamp shade, or all the women
will call him "old-fashioned."

Twenty years ago he married a lady
with a fine set of teeth. They had four
children, ,all of whom are helthy, but
who. .like their father, never had a

Pleasure, surprue and bewilderment
combine give a cariooa expreeaion to a
man feature. One of our boy tl a
doctor io Jackaonville. Fla. The other
day while visiting a patient be received
a telephone; mewtge from biawife,
"Come home at once; a telegram from
your sister Hattie aay , your latnw ia
dying and to come at once.' Imarjne
bit feelings of distress. Hurrying home
be found bia wife in tears, bis viuiae
packed and be bad only half an viour
to make the train. Alt the long n!ght
he grieved and sighed, as be tried to
sleep but could not. Next morning at
10 o'clock be reached Cartemille and
hurrying up to the paternal ' mansion
met me and Hittie'a husband- driving
merrilv to the poetoffice.-w He couldent
speak. He couldent undereUpd.
Pleasure, surprise and bewilderment
filed bis eyes and every feature of bis
face.- He had traYelled 400 niiU-s in
baste expecting to find me dead or
dying, and here I was capering around
as lively as a yourjj colt in a barley-
patch. He couldent stand nor under
stand, but sat down and said : "There
Hhas been a mistake, but thank the Loid
'you are well. I never noticed wt.ere
the telegram cams from nor to what
Dr. Smith it was addressed, bat sup
posed that Sarah knew and I came at
once.' Lt me go down-to the pince
and wire her. Poor girl! she will be so
anxious."- j In due time he received an
answer, "Message not for you nor from
Cartersville." Well, well! How much
mental distress and tiresome travel
would have been saved bad be carefully
read the telegram. He was dreadf ally
mortified at his own blunder, but we
were all 'gratified at his unexpected
visit, and as we happened to have tur
key fur dinner, all went happily and
the day was a glad one. The trouble is
in the name. Dotors ebnuld be named
Galen or Hipprocrates or Abernathv or
Valentine Mott or Westmoreland. But
smith is so common and besides there
is a colored son of Aesculapius in Jack
sonville and not long ago our boy re
ceived a telegram that was intended for
the colored brother, and it said: "It s
a boy and iNlirandy is" doing well.'
There is a good deal in a name. There
was nearly forty dollars to my sonf in
this instance, for if his name had. been
Vauderbilt or Rockafwiler or even
Sque zelfanttr, the telegram would , not
have been miscarried. Tbe Souths;
Jones, B.Ovvns and Johnsons ough to
stop multiplying the name and take a
new start, like they do in Mexico.
When a couple mate in Mexico the first
thing they do before they marry is to
agree upon a family name. If the girl
ia humble and submissive, she takes his
oam; if aha is woAUhy-or-arlstocfif ic
and he is not, he takes her name, If J
they are of equal rank, they make up
a new name a Kind or mixture 01
both family names. .For instance, Mr.
Brown and Mies Jones would be wedded
as Mr. and Mrs. Brojon. My wife and
I would ! have been Mr. and Mrs.
Hutcharp, for she was a Hutchins, and
then our ; Aesculapeon- son would have
been Dr. Hutcharp or maybe Dr. Keely,
after his wife, and have Bayed, that long
ride and forty dollars. But airs well
that ends well, and we are still calm
and serene. One of our little grand
children,! a three-year-old, thinks it
mighty smart and great tun to call me
as I pass and say, "Hello, major! Hello,!
Bill Arp! Hello, grandpa!"
There is a good deal in a name. I
like strong names like Webster, Cal
houn, Washington, Macon, Lamar,
Mcintosh, Bayard, Buchanan, Gould-
mg, etc.: but it must be a serious con-;
Bideratiori for a pretty girl with a pretty
euphonious name to swap it oil lor a
disagreeable or peculiar one. I knew.
a miss Goulding to marry a Mr. Turn
seen, and I always thought Bhe must
have loved him mighty hard. Charles;
Charles Lamb tells a story about an
English girl who was good and hand
some and nad every virtue, but ma
name was Hogsflesh. She loved him
but she couldent bear to think of being
called Mrs. Hogsflesh and she refused
bun for three years and would have
kept on refusing, but he went before
parliament and bad his name changeq
to Bacon. That is ho w the name Bacon
oirginated, and I reckon our eenator
came from that stock and it is good
stock, i
So I have come pretty near reading
my epitaph again for there was a news?
paper mn around when our doctor left
Jacksonville and they are given to
anticipating bad news and if he heard
I was dying, of course he could- put it
in that I was dead next morning. Re?
porters are death on bad news. When
the original Bill Arp died in Texas it
went all over tbe country that it was
me and I had to retire from tbe field
field for. a time and wait until the
people learned better for wherever I
went I was a-eappect and pronounced a
fraud: but 1 read my epitaphs and was
satisfied. Mr. Ward, of Birmingham,
introduced me to an audience not long
ago and said a lecturer or a writer tqf
humorous sketches was of no conse
quence until be took another name-r-
that Charles r . crown wis unknown.
until he took tbe came, of Arteritis
Ward; that Henry Shaw was nGbodj
until he wrote over the signature of
Josh Billings; that Samuel Clemens wis
never heard of until he became Mark
Twain : and so Francis B- Harte became
Bret Harte and Dickens became Borf
and Mtlville Landan became Eli Peri

Gatb; and Goodrich was Peter Parley;

The Legislature has performed its

now remains ior the people to 'say
whether it shall be ratified or not. If a

it lhat ends it. If a majority shall be

their minds and arriving at their con

: 'Yes, we get into county jails occa

txpuble is they don't keep us long
enough. A jail is a home-like place,
with plenty to eat, no work and good
treatment. We are generally sentenced
fur three months, but after about four
weeks tne. sneriu picks out three or
fiur of us and says:
, .' 'Now beys, them iron bars on that

"An old tramps knows what, lhat

not to speak of. the ''rebellion. It ia
as; easy to'say the "civil. war," and there
is no reason why we should not grant ao
mucn to tne aeieaud tcc ion. . it would
be unreasonable to expect men like
Trof. McCabe, who fought in a gray
uuifornv, to look upoi thenaaelves aa
traitors, or to do otberwite thaii cherish
the memory of the htroes of that loat
cause. Prof. McCabe said at New York:
"It may well be, that when thia gen
eration eh a 1 have passed away, and the
motives and convictions of men shall
be apprehended without passion, that
tbe young American treading some one
jf those stately avenues that lead to our
national capitol, shall pause 'opposite
the presentment in bronze of Grant and
Sherman, to gaze upou the heroic fig
ures of Lee and Jackson.
This may seem an impossible dream
to those Northerners who participate
in the civil war, bnt iu the early j ears
of the twentieth century such a thing
may come to pass. It is the old ques
tion over again.. Siall we teach com
ing generations thftt rebellion against
the flag is right And honorable ? On the
other hand, , pii aii we wittihqii trom
conscientious Atnericio eoWiera, who
earnestly' defended a great principle,
recognition of their vilor and sincerity?
It is perhaps too soon to solve a problem
like that. But of one thing we can be
assured. The S utb isioyal now, and
would support the goveri-nenUvahantly
in time of net d. Prof. McCabe told bia
audience at New York that "ere the first
call of arms of our commou country
shall have died upon the breeze, you
shall bear tbe tramp of our legpns as
they wheel iuto line to touch elbows
with the stalwart sons of New England,

rallying cry of "White Supremacy,"
We volunteered under Uiat banner to
the end of the war. We have wn the
outpotta of the enemy, we have driven
them back in disorder, and they -are
making one last deaperate stand rt form
ing their broken linea behind the breast
works of prejudice and demagogy. 'They
orm in vain. The traJitiona of North
Carolina Democrats are filled with glori
ous achievements; their courage it of
the best, their determination ia unyield
ing, their certainty of victory arvounta
to inapiration. For peace, for prosperi
ty, for universal education, for that day
when, the race issue is forever nettled.
we can have an. absolutely free ballot
and a fair count for "tbe glorious privi
lege ot being independent," for general
toleration of honest if mistaken opin
ions, we renew tbe conteat. Iet the
banner of 1898 be again unfurled. Let
it still be inscribed with the motto.
White Supremacy," but above that let
there also appear as the aim and end of
white supremacy good government for
