Rev. W,P. Harrison nm.

McKendree Church was crowded to its
utmost limit on Sunday morning, to hear
a sermon from the Rev. DIR. Harrison, who
is about leaving our city for Atlanta, Ga.
The Doctor selected as his topic of discourse
Job Xi. S-"Canst thou, by searching, find
out GOd?"-and, passing chasm Of fifteen
hundred years, selected the answer from l
Co. ii. 9-10: "Eye hath not seen nor ear
heard, neither hath it entered into the heart
of man. But God hath revealed
them unto us by His Spirit" The theme
was 4 good one, and the speaker dealt with
il in mastery manner. The first question
was an expression of early philosOphic
thought, which introduced the speaker into
the society Of ancient and modern phlosO-
pliers, and their theO yoniStic speculations,
where he seemed perfectly at home, mani
Testing not the narrow spirit of bigoted
censure, but broad, deep, though critical
sympathy with their struggles and failures.
The latter text brought him in contact with
the scientists and their telescope and mi
croscopic bookings and listenings after God.
With the results of these great scientific
tOilers, he gave evidences of equal familiari-
ty, but was more impatient of their blind,
cropping materialism. The whole was
closed by warm evangelical picture of
God, revealed to the humility of faith in
Christ. The style of the speaker was pure,
chaste and beautiful Englsh-his delivery
and gesture of that rare equipoise which
bring out the fervOr and spirit of the
speaker without the exhaustion which so
detractS from an audiences estimate of
power. The audience was delighted and
prOfted; and they take leave of the revered
orator and divine with deep regret.

The New York Bulletin Of the 2Sth says:
The vim and buoyancy have most certainly dis
appeared, or at least become greatly modified
during the past few days, and the market shows
a comparatively slow tone for all grades. The
small and sparingly offered stocks on hand, the
extreme prices reached previous, pretty free
purchases and considerable amounts invested at
high figures, together with declining tendency
in gold, all had a tendency to influence buyers 70
pause and scan the situation thoroughly before
yenturing further, while the announcement by
telegraph of larger purchases at Rio JaneirO,
for this country, also had quieting effect. HOl-
ders, however, have not abated their presen-
siOns in the least, and contend that the position
is really as strong, if not stronger than ever, and
that any changes in value are more likely TO be
in their favor than against them. Advices from
thenteriOr state that at several of the large dis
tributing points stocks have become greatly ~
dueed and must be replaced soon, while every
thing here and 10 arrive Is so completely under
control that owners have merely to name the
price and buyers must submit OF 90 without sup
plies. As to the increased movement of. Brazils
at the point OF growth, no alarm is fen, as it
viii require many weeks TO bring this supply TO
hand, and even when it does come, the cost is
such that nearly or quite ruling figures here
must be obtained to insure a margin for profit.
Business to-day has been light, and to SELL a
slight concession would be necessary from causes
set forth above, but holders are not anxious and
refuse to reduce prices. A sale was made at New
Orleans yesterday after the telegram came in at
full as high as anything yet obtained, including
1902 bags Rio at 16fc, gold, in bond to arrive
per "Assan Valley"

Mckenzie COIIRGe

During the progress of the fair at Nc
kenzie last week, a fine silver pitcher, worth
S25, was offered TO the best reader of POe's
Raven among the students in Mckenzie
College. A brilliant audience assembled at
the building on Thursday night to hear the
four young ladies who were contestants for
the prize. The first premium as above was
awarded to Miss Jennie Brewer, the second
to Miss Matte Rollins, the third to Miss
Matte Clark, and the fourth to Miss Julia
Martin. DR.. Elliott, of this city, was pres
ent, and made an interesting speech to the
pupils, afterwards presenting to the sue
ceSsful competitor in the reading class a
copy Of Manry's Geography, and to the
second best reader set of Holmes Read
ers. The school is a large and fourishing
one, under the management and control of
Prof. Irby, assisted by MeSsrs. Randall.
Carlton and St. Clair, and the exercises on
that evening passed off most agreeably to
all present.

Contract for Convicss.

Yesterday contract was entered into by
Gen. n. B. Forrest on the one part, and the
Board of Inspection of the State Penitenti-
airy, on the other relative to tie employment
OF convict labor on the Tennessee part of
the Memphis and Selma Railroad. The
Inspectors hired one hundred and fifty con-
yicts at 81 per pay each, to Gen. Forrest
to be worked in the State, the conditions
requiring, as in other cases, bonds in suf-
ticient sums to insure the proper treatment,
return, etc, of the convicts. This makes
one hundred and seventy-five convicts now
employed on railroads, twenty-five being
permanently engaged ON the Northwestern
Road. There are one hundred and seventy
convicts in the mines. The number hired
to Gen. Forrest and those engaged at work
on the capitol grounds, takes up all the
residue of convict labor permitted outside of
the prison walls. As there are only eigh-
teen miles of the road to be built, Gen.
Forrest expects TO have them employed only
about six months. The Inspectors will
place their report relative to the employment
of convict labor in the hands of the Execu-
tive tomorrow and after that we will give
our readers synopsis of it, which is in
tended to be exhaustive of the subject.

The CONCERT Of To-Nipht.

The Sacred Concert to be given this even
ing at the Baptist Church, on Summer
street, promises to be unusually attractive.
The programme embraces some of the finest
compositions of the day. The names of
Handel, Mozart, Spohr, and others, are a
guarantee Of the excellence of the music to
be performed, and the fact that several of the
most gifted of Nashville celebrities will take
part, insuTes a faithful and worthy render
ing Of the authors. Good music, in the
hands of those whose names grace the pro-
gramme of tonight, is bound to be really
good in both senses.
The design in giving a concert at this
time is to raise a fund for the purchase of
an organ to be used in the church. As the
benefit Of every minor public enterprise of
this kind, successfully carried to compile
ton, is not confined to those who do the
work, but reaches everybody, tending dir
ectly as it does to rebound To the credit, and
add TO the attFactiyeness of our city, it is TO
he hoped that the managers of this enter
tainment will be greeted with an overflow
ing house, it3 ID se

trary 70 the general Impression, the breadth Of
ground put II cane this season Il much less than
tnat OF last year-our informants' estimate Is q
little more than 0ne-half. The season, too, has
been o most unfortunate one for the planter
The long continued rains OF early summer laid
an embargo upon field operations. 1t is within
our knowledge that one planter did but day
and a half work in his fields during the who'll,
month Of Dune, and we may add that the story Of
one Is the history OF many. A more unpropi-
tious season for working the crop has not seen
encountered, it is alleged, Tor many years. The
prospective yield may therefore, readily be esti-
mated. According to our information, the crop
in West Baton Rouge, LafOurche, st. John, St
James and st. Charles is distressingly poor as a
general thing, with, as is understood, here and
there an enviahle exception. In some fields the
grass is as high as the cane. u
number of planters will not grind at ALL and
not few who commenced rolling have aban-
doned the venture on account Of the poor weld
Some fields do not give half a hOgshead to the
acre. These comparatively barren returns
taken in connection with the high rates of labor
hands are now scarce at two dollars day
render the prospect decidedly gloomy for our
sugar planters and the very large interests in
yolved with and depending upon their industry.
III the crop should fall as low as the planting
estimate-I30, 900 hogsheads-the falling off will
come home, also, to the toiling millions, as well
as the planter, factor and brOker.--Nep Orleans

The third day opened with largely in
creased number of visitors over the days
previous. The display of harness stock
was small, but of a superior quality. There
was, however, a fine exhibition of mich
cows, bloOded horses, and horses for gener-
al utility. In the equestrian ring for ladies,
Miss ID. Fletcher took the premium, and
Miss \. Mckenzie the certificate. The
drummers of Nashville, Louisville and
Memphis made up an equestrian ring, with
eight or ten entries. Mr.J. Ezell, of Nash
vile, got the premium, and ]. r. Cardwell,
also of this city, the certificate. Mr.. Rich
ards, of Nashville, made a balloon ascen-
sion successfully. The balloon went up a
few hundred yards, and descended about
one mile from the Fair Grounds.
