The Louisville Journal ON Cen
eral Grant.

THE Louisville Journal has n severe
criticism on General Grants military
record. 1t says he was "ignominlously
defeated at Belmont, lawfully whip
ped" at Shiloh, and would have been
annihilatod, but for an event which he
had no right to expect, and that at
Yicksburg he expended moro money,
time, and life than were ever before
sacrificed in taking SO small a town.
As to tho Virginia campaign, we
quote;
We think hal Tho whole country
understands the truth that Grant s
march from Washington towards Richs
mond IN the facc of General Lee was
one of the most disastrous campaigns
over undertaken. He was brave, or
rather obstinate, enough. He would,
whenever and wherever Lee chose to
stop and throw up battle. works, ad-
vance and attack him, at q terrible ex-
ponditure of life, and in every case he
was repulscd. And at each rcpulso he
would walk his army round, make a
flank movement, giving another disas.
trou. battle, getting another most
bloody repulse, and then going again
into the lanking business. AT last he
got to City Point. on James River, af-
ter losing q hundred thousand men,
There he stopped. There he squattcd.
He didn't do anything. Ho didn't
propose TO do any thing. lie said that
no would fight 1t out on that line
though itshould take HIM all summer"
but his fighting was simply squatting.
There wasn't the first sign Of aggres-
sion about him.
The senior editor Of tho Journal was
in Richmond in the winter Of 19G5, and
VIC know hat the Confederate officers,
soldiers and citizens had no moro APP
Prchepslon of General Grant than ifhe
had been on the other side of the ocean.
His proximity didn't keep n man or
woman awake n single minute. He
WIS held IN contempt. The whole ter.
ror was in regard to tho march Of
Sherman. And 1t was Sherman's
march; and only that which conquered
Lees army and all the other Confede-
ratio armies.

The Editor Of tho Dayton Ledger IS

Irregular Teachers.

When teacher is absent on given Sab
bath, the whole lesson is lost to the whole
class. Here is one entire week Of religious
instruction gone. On the following Sabbath,
should the teacher be present, the result
will be about the same: the scholars will not
know whether to learn a new lesson or the
old, and, in doubt, will learn none at all. One
days absence of the teacher does, in fact,
cause the loss of two weeks instruction.
Where there is occasional irregulsrity of the
scholar also-the scholar absent one Sabbath
and the teacher the next-all instruction
comes to an end. A large experience in this
matter has led TO the conviction that it takes
at least thTee weeks OF diligent attendance on
the part OF a teacher to repair the injury to
his class of one days absence, aud that
teacher wbo is absent from his post on the
average as often as once in four weeks can
not possibly be making any headway.-J. =.

The Best Preaching.

The Rev. Mr.. Spurgeon, of London, said
recently in the introduction to his sermon:-
SIT has been sometimes debated whether prac-
tical, experimental, or doctrinal preaching
was the hest kind and the most useful. He
should not enter into the discussion OF the
question but he might say that in exclusively
doctrinal preachers he had observed ten
dency to dispute and QUARREL in experimental
preachers a tendency to dispsrsge and
judge others; whilst those who had been
practical had degsnerated into legality, and
the grace of God had svaporaled. The very
best preaching was that which had most Of
Jesus Christ in it, for it gathered up the ex-
oellences of the three classes he had men
toned into one person; since for practice
Christ was the way, for doctrine Christ was
the truth, and for experience Christ was the

and the bones, being separated from the charred
wood (which lay in this case all on the north
