An ELuQrENT PREACHER AND LECT tREE-
REV. L. 4. HuLLASp.-This distinguished
minister Of the Gospel preached III this eat y
on last Sabbath, occupying the pulpit cl
the Centenary Methodist church i'll the
morning and Broal-Street church ut night
His sermonh fully sustained his high repu-
tation Us one of the most eloquent and
popular preachers of the day. His sermon
at night wus on tie .f,tai judgment, and
WAS masterpiece Of eloquence. His style
is finished to the lost touch Of polish anu
elegance; his reasoning IL forcible and
clcnr without the forms Of logic; hi.
imagery exluisitely beautiful rather than
bold; his rhetoric faultless; and his
discussion was sustained with extraor-
,linary uniformity and evenness from the
first sentence 10 itS closing word. IIis
power over his audience lies rather in the
charm and witchery of his style than in
the norelty of thought. His voice, though
somewhat slender, has considerable com-
pass, and IL moluluted 10 exquisite smooth
ness and harmony. WitElnl, he looks almost
Youthful. His manner ID simple and easy !;
and, take him altogether, We rarely If ever
heard his equal in the attributes and quail
ties referred to in this brief notice. We are
not surprised at his almost unriTalled
popularity as preacher.
Dr.. Holland also lectured mt the United
PRESBYTERIAN church before delighted
audience. Tonight he will deliver u lee
ture at the Centenary Methodist church, on
Grace street between Fourth and Fifth, on
Jerusalem. None should miss this oppor-
tunity to hear an orator 60 distinguished.

MAKING HASTE TO BE RICu.-Har-
per's Basa1' has very sensible editorial
on this subject, which concludes as fol-
lows: One of the strongest feelings of
the day is the disposition of men to protect
themselves as far as possible against the
uncertainties which make so large an ele-
ment in human affairs. In itself this is
a t u; feeling. Without il much of his
intellectual and moral nature lies dormant.
OF late years this feeling has greatly in
creased. Unquestionably it has done
vast amount of good to society. But it
now threatens US with r maniacal sort of
excitement that is feeding the money-fury
of the times. Under cover of providing
against accidents the spirits OF gambling
is working IFS way through all classes of
society. Risks are pitted against risks
The bread of to day is hazarded against
the bread of Tomorrow; a most morbid
sense of Uneasiness as TO the future is seiz-
ing every ones mind and gradually but
fatally deep sense of the moral laws of
the world is yielding TO the wretchedness
of doubt and apprehension. Thousands
discard the doctrine of Providence. Hold
ing such creed in every day matters
a creed that banishes God from the marts
of trade and the enterprises OF commerce,
n creed that glorifes success as the product
of energy only, and builds mans throne
as the ordering and disposing sovereign of
nature-living by such creed, what, can
result but that worst of profanity, that
basest of blasphemy, which wipes out the
image of God from human society, and
stamps in its stead the bloated likeness of
self

before, was either an itinerant laboring
man, or farmer from the back region, who
would want to pay for his goods in pop

Ralph Slower went to the mills, where
he found an architect and an engineer
from the city experimenting extensive al

Goodhue was not there. They thought
likely he was at the house. So TO the

he was informed by lady that if Mr..

And while Mr. Goodhue returned TO

would be worse than useless so he turned
moodily and unbaPpily away.
Mr.. Goodhue found Eben Shackford

WEDDING JEST.-The GAINESVILLE (Ohio)
Times tells the following At a recent
wedding among the first families of this
city, quite sprightly joke was perpetra-
ted, but just upon whom the weight of il;
fell is difficult to determine. While the
party were sitting around the supper table,
and before the distribution of the viands
had begun, the bride turned her plate over
and drew from under it slip of paper,
which, upon reading, she discovered to be
check for five thousand dollars, payable
to her order. FLUSHED with joy, she of
course passed it to her husband, who
hastily cast his eyes over it, and, in turn,
passed it to gentleman friend at hand !,
who likewise perused if, but pretending
ignorance Of the object of the gift, handed
it to the clergyman in attendance, who
without a word, began to pocket it with
that hilarious motion and flush of counte-
nance which indicated that it was the best
fee he had ever received for officiating at
a wedding.
The eyes of the three were at once fixed
upon him in surprise and Consideration.
The bride, of course, would not speak for
five thousand dollars, and the bridegroom
was entirely too happy to utter word,
and even if he felt like it, his relations
were too recently formed to assume con-
troll Of his wife's property, and the friend
who had got them into the trouble too
sensibIy appreciated the joke to say word,
while the clergyman-well be didn't think
of anything but going right straight off to
the bank and drawing the money. How
ever, before be had got the check COM
fortably nestled in his vest pocket, the
friend who had passed it to him issued
his order in the following words; ''Takt
that check out of your pocket l'' to which
the clergyman promptly obeyed, and al
parties were at once relieved of suspense
the joke, however, was duly appreciated
and by none better than the clergyman
himself

TuE Courier Of sunday very nearl,

THE Courier of Sunday very nearly
exhausted its largestocko of impudence
in its desperate efforts to get rid of
the huge falsehoods which Mr.. Decker
compelled it to swallow. A man
afflicted with the gripes, or a
scotched snake. could not perform
q greater number of contortions to
get rid of a disagreeable fact. But
the lie sticks to the Courier like the
shirt Of Nessus. 1t can't shake it off.
It's free indulgence in italic, small
caps and capitals don't give it any re-
lief. What makes its condition still
more distressing is the fact that the
people actually seem to enjoy its suf-
ferings, and amuse themselves with
its efforts 10 extricate itself We sug-
gest to that paper that it j. much bet
ter and easier not 70 tell q lie 10 the
first instance than to endeayor to get
rid of it after its author has been
branded with it.

The Republican party of Indiana
have announced distinctly and une-
quivocalIy that they are opposed to
taking back the Wabash canal and
assuming the immense debt for which
it was once accepted as payment. By
resolution in its State platform, the
position of the patty on this important
question is plainly set forth. On the
contrary the Democratic party main
tains an ominons silence as to its po-
sition. The whole matter is ignored
in its State platform, and is leading
papers are particularly careful not to
take position against the swindle. It
is evident that very many Demo-
Gratis, including tho proprietor of
the State organ, are deep into this
conspiracy to saddle the taxpayers
with a new debt Of near $17 ,O0O,-
900. Inasmuch as the Democratic
party in this county have not COM
mitted its candidates against the
swindle, it becomes an interesting
question to know how Messrs. Isaac
Keen and J. G.. Shanklin will vote

Vanderburgh County would like
to know whether you will, an
