SPRAGUE AT MEMpHIs.-In his speech k4efore the
late Commercial Convention at Mempha, Senator
Sprague of Rhode Island advocated direct trade be-
tween Southern ports and Europe; Southern Pacific
railroad immigration; and an increase of banking
and financial facilities. He also spoke strongly in ia
of making the agricultural the great interest," and
of using manufactures its auxiliary. He referred to
the fact that the South had long been exhaustng her
SOIL while in Europe the process had been the reverse,
thus giving the agrcuturists of the old world great
advantage He spoke also of the high rates onterest
in this country, and said that the advancement of pro-
duction required breaking down of the system which
centraises capital in the great Northern Cities and he
seemed to think that the revolution could be started
by change in policy by the farmers. AS long as they
contented to scratch over constantly extending
surfaces for the purpose of raising or two great
staples for Market tie balance of power would be
against them; but when they gave attention to the
improvement of their farms, and to diversity of crops
and to building home markets, capital would begin to
flow to the support of the farming interests. This
would tend to make the farmers more independent,
and those who help themselves always get help
from without Mr.. Sprague also cortenaed that judi
cious protection necessary to the rapid progress
of the South

gssAs. TIE Third Presbyterian Church
was well filed last evening by an atten-
tive congregation, assem- bled to listen
to the third of the series of temperance
sermons by our city pastors. The eX-
ercises commenced with the singing of
a beautiful temperance anthem bv the
choir The Pastor, Rev. E. G. Reed,
reading appropriate selections from
Scripture, took for his text the words
found in the first verse OF the twentieth
chapter Of Proverbs, "Wine is a mock
err, strong Drink is raging" &c, and de-
livered an earnest and effective dis
course. Valuable statistics were pre-
sented, showing what fearful results
the drinking customs of the day were
producing. Total abstinence, aided by
the spirit of grace, was the best safe
guard against intemperance none ever
took to drink to kill themselves; swifter
means were used; young men learned
to drink because Congressman, men in
positions of honor and trust, and 9TH
ers, followed the practice. Thousands
drank because it was fashionable. We
will not attempt further sketch of
this excellent sermon, but close by
saying it was the faithful testimony of
a Christian minister against the great
est evil that aff1icts our land.

and considerable interest was manifest

mile Eight entries were made-six
coming to hand-Master Willie Halsey
making the best time (2.54.) All of the
