A Confederate Preacher States the Case

The Memphis Arg',s publishes the an
nexed report of very fiowery sermon
delivered in that city:
The Rev. JamesW. Rogers discourse
on Sunday last, ut the Court room,
Greenlaw's building, on The honor
due to the Confederate dead was
founded on this text:
And he brought up from thence the
bones of Saul, and the bones OF Jona-
than. his son, And the bones OF
Saul and Jonathan, his son, buried they
i'm the country of Benjamin in Zelah, IN
the sepulchre of Kish, his father, and
they performed all that the king COM
manded and after that God was en-
treated for the land. III. Samuel, XXI,
1914.
He argued that as often as civil wars
occurred among the ancients, when
great issues were forever decided by the
sword, the fame of heroes, without dis,
tinction of party, naturally became, ana
ought to become, a national heritage.
In this connection he instanced Marius,
Hampden, Sidney, Cromwell ana DINERS.
| Having established this by satisfactory
argument and illustration, he transport
| ed his audience to the future, when our
whole country. great, peaceful and
hannv shall honor alike. the tombs of
Sh erSn1an and Grant, IleeSand Johnston,
Ieonidas Polk and Bedford Forrest

GEN'L GRANT AND THE ENGLISH
MAN.-An incident of General Grants
visit to Canada has recently been told
us which has not before appeared in
prii,t, and which is warranted as true;
While in Montreal, and just after an
interview with a number of Canadian
officials and others, he appeared much
disturbed, and calling Mr.. Bowie
kniferA Potter, our Consul, said:-"Pot-
ter sit down. / want to talk to you !
.pever was so angry in my life"
+ Itseems that some one had been intro
duced to the General, and remarked gra-
tuitously:
"General Grant, Lam an Englishman,
and | wish to assure you that my sympa-
thy is and always has been with the
south and President Davis. hope your
Government will not hang him."
"And hope, sir, that he will have an
impartial trial, and if he is convicted, he
will be hung as lie certainly deserves to
be. He has murdered hundreds OF Otli
men; he has starved our prisoners. ~,
."That, sir" interrupted the other, 81
don't believe.n
"I have unfortunately met great
| many men of your stamp who will never
believe anything against the South, bu
who are ready to believe everything
against the North and the United States
government
"Sir,u said the Englishman, 81 am il

CHOW little apt we are to improve oul
advantages was the quiet reply of the
insulted and indignant General, and the

THE FIRST BoNNET.-Th The first bonnet
worn in England was brought from
italy i'm the reign of Queen Elizabeth,
and its form was compromise between
tbe present Italian peasant hat and the
French hood. The materials employed
in constructing these head ornaments
were crimson satin, deliberately embroid-
cred cloth of gold, and similar rich ma
terials. The leghorn fiat, with perpen-
dicular crown and wide brim, standing
ont far around the face, was the first lie,
Ultimate bonnet worn, and this appeared
long after Queen Elizabeth,s time. II
was trimmed with artificial flowers and
immense bows of ribbons.

COOKING POTATOEs.--W have seen
boiled potatoes, from an untaught cook,
coming upon the table like Jumps of yell
low wax-and the same article, the day
after under the directions OF II skiliful
mistress, appearing in snowy balls of
powdery lightness. In the one ease,
they were thrown with their skins into
water, and suffered to soak or boil, an
the case might be, al the cooks leisure.
and after they were boiled to stand IN
the water until she was ready tolpeei
them. In the other case, the potatoes
being first peeled, were boiled as quickly
as possible in sailed water, which, the
moment they were done, was drained
of, and then were gently shaken for Il
minute or two OVERTIME fire, to dry them
still more thoroughly, We haveinever
yet seen the potato SO deprayeda ndgiyeii
