4 Sermon by a Lawyer.

On Sunday morning last, a large congrcga-
ton assembled at the Christian Church. Gov
ington, kentucky to hear practicing lawyer
Judge Perrin, preach sermon. A notice had
been given in the Cincinnati Enquirer that he
would preach at that time and place. Up to
the hour of the appointment he tried to make
excuses why he should not oflieiate in a calling
so sacred. An old SISTER" Of the Church arose
and said she had came expressly to hear brother
Perrin, wbereupoD he mounted the pulpit
took text and proceeded" to preach very ab ls
and eloquent sermon, drawing tears from some
of his brother lawyers eyes. After the conclu'
sion of his sermon four persons joined the
church. So. itseems, lawyers could frequently,
if they would, make themselves useful outside
Of their profession.

Hon, B. r. Wade.

Mr.. Wade, n few days ago made speech in
the United States Senate, opposing the reso-
lutions Of the Ohio Legislature in reference to
Kansas affairs, lie clearly showed up the at
tempted fraud of the friends Of the Lccompton
Constitution. The Ohio Statesman, for several

Wade for his interference in the matter, calling
him all sorts of hard aames. For ourpart, VIC

A Frank Admission.

Mr. HICKMAN, a member OF the lower
House in Congress, and an earnest sup
porter of Mr.. BUCHANAN, during the las,
Presidential canvass, made an able
speech some days ago in opposition to
the admission of Kansas under the Le-
compton Constitution. In the course OF
his remarks, Mr.. HICKMAN very freely
admitted that, had the avowalS Of Mr..
BUCHANAN on Kansas affairs since his
inauguration been made before his lee.
ton, he would have lost the vote Of Penn
sylvania by several thousand majority.
1t follows us a matter Of course, that his
election was carried by false pretenCes,
or at least by misrepresentation, how
ever innocent some Of the persons max q.
ing them may have been. Mr.. BUCHANAN
put on a Northern face for that latitude,
and saved his election by doing so.
1t is some justification for Mr.. llIcT-
MAN hat h he insists on the carrying oul
of these promises; that, for one, he means
to abide by them. 1t shows, at least,
that he is not so utterly destitute OF sag
acily as to suppose the Democratic party
can sustain itself under so palpable Vio'
lation of its pledges. But even Mr..
IIlcENAN shows more concern in rcgarC
to tho inevitable retribulion of the future
than for the crime, in which he was ar
accomplce, that cheated the people ou
of a fair expression and realization o
their viii.
Mr.. BUCHANAN was clearly committed
to a just policy in regard to Kansas. |
is no Geint when we say that we shoulC
have been sincerely graliied had he iuI
filed this pledge, and long ago setliet
the Kansas question, banishing this con
troversy from National politics alt ogelher
That we had right to expect this Of him
(though we confess we were skeptcal a
to his fdeIiry,) this avowal of his parlizal
is sufficient proof. We did not, indeed
yield credence TO his fair promises. Bu
the majority in his own State who did
and who now find themselves cheated
will not brook the wrong. As the Wing
of 1910 regarded JOHN TYLER, will tn
indignant Democrats of the Keyston
State look upon JAMES BUCHANAN, ate
the consummation of his Calhoun intri
que, and OF his armed Intervention, 70
the purpose of forcing pro- slavery con
sllulon on the people Of Kansas, agains
their legally declared will. The char
acler Of such an act will be palpable t
the commonest sense, in all its grossnes
and enormity.

A Lerge Cave Explored,
From the Louisville Journal. j


A friend in Ohio county writes us an
account of the partial exploration Of a
remarkable cave in that county. Reports
made by some boys, who had ventured
into the cave, known as the Spring Cave,
near Point Pleasant, on Green river,
prompted the writer and several other
gentlemen, 10 make an exploration of 1t,
An entrance to the cave was effected
through narrow passage; about thirty
teot long, which opend into an egg-shaped
room, some thirty feet long, and fifteen
high. The exploring party visited, thro
various passages five other rooms, in one
Of which was u small set of, as if made by
man, and on it were three books and sew
eraI letters, none Of which the gentlemen
could make out They also found in this
room sivery looking metal, that had been
run into humps. In another room they
found human bones. 1t is the intention
of the gentlemen engaged in this explo.
ration to make a more thorough examin
alton of this cave Our correspondent
thinks it will prove to be as extensive
cave as the Mammoth.

"a Mr.. Btoman learned that not one of the

'wfe-foruerly Mrs. Smith-had always been
opposed to them, as well as the boys [ was
told that Joe Smith prophesied some two years
before this young lad was born, that a SON was
to be born to him. at or about a certain time; that
at the time stated his wife did give birth to a son
At that time he also stated that his sons name

A Coon TINE COMING. The folks on
the border Of Missouri look on the Nor
mon war as a good time coming, since
it will create u demand for labor, produce,
and animals, which will be emnenty
beneficial to that region. The Indepen-
dcnce Messenger says:
The outfit Of this army will be itself an
immense business, requiring no doubt
so, 900 head Of work animals in the shape
of horses, mules, and cattle; and govern
ment will give fair price for these arti'
cles, which will scatter an immense sun
of money among the farmers and Others
of Missouri.
The outfit last spring, to put in motion
500 men, required 800 wagons anc
teams, These same men have to be sup
piled, this season, with an addition o
probably 5000 more, which, according
to the same rule, will require near 4,00t
wagons and teams to haul them. Alto
gether, it is reasonable to suppose that ]
will cost at least $4,000 600 for the way
