Col Jno. B. Baldwin's Sp>
hus Ohio

The State Journal, published at =
Ohio, gives the following report OF s''I w..
made by Col. Baldwin, of this City, on ''A''
Tuesday night, the 18th inst, before a la 'se
meeting of the Liberals, at Turner Hail. Ia
that City Speeches were also made by q.
V. Lee and Gen. Brinkerhoof. Considering
the fact that the Journal favors Grant-al-
though it has no ticket hoisted-its notice OF
the meeting is quite complimentary:
'Col. John B. Baldwin. of Virginia, was
the next speaker He said he was glad to be
able to call the audience his friends, working
as they were for the same glorious end. He
regarded it as rather queer state OF affairs
that should bring him upon the stand with
General Brinkerhof, who had been such an
earnest Republican, at the time ne baldwin,
had been one of its most bitter opponents
He said Virginia would support Greeley and
Brown most heartily. In relation to the accu-
sation that Mr.. Greeley was secessionist, the
speaker said no person in the South could be
found who believed Greeley had any more
sympathy for the South than any other good
christian man He further said. we do not go
for Greeley for what he did for US. nor do
we 90 against Grant for what he did against
US. We have nothing under heaven against
any man who fought US, but the people OF the
South are unwilling to support the Radical
party
The speaker spoke of the terrible condition
of the South after the war, saying that, as
people, they were perfectly willing and even
anxious for peace
Mr.. Baldwin then alluded to the course pur-
sued by the administration IN its reconstruct
ton policy, and said under the present car
pet-bag and scallawag governments the people
were oppressed and made miserable.
Abiding to what Greeley had said in years
agone about the Democratic party, Col. Bald
win said his party were as willing to grant
Greeley general amnesty as he was to give
them the same boone.
The speaker interlarded his remarks with
spirited anecdotes and was frequently cheered.
At the close of this address General Brink
erhof proposed three cheers, saying, as a pre-
face, that they intended to fill the bloody
chasm by tumblng the present administra-
ton into it, Three cheers were given and the
meeting adjourned.

An Essential Of LoyeIiness.-To

An Essential of LOveliness.-To be
entirely beautiful the hair should be abundant
and lustrous This is absolutely essential to COM
plete loneliness. The most regular features, the
fail of their due effect if the hair be thin dry,
or harsh. On the contrary the plainest face, if
it be surmounted by luxuriant and silken tres
of actual beauty. That browning ornament of
her sex is, happily, within the reach of lovely
woman, and being as discriminating as she is
lovely, she long ago discovered that LYoNs KA-
THAIRoN was the sure means of securing It. No
preparation for the Hair ever enjoyed 1.-THE of
its popularity, and no wonder, since it produces
such gratifying results. Applied to the waste
and barren places of the scalp, it fructifes and
enriches them with new and ample growth
It is not of course, pretended that it will do this
if the capacity for reproduction is extinct, but
so long as it remains that wonderful rehabilitant
will assuredly propagate the germ of the hair
into life and activity.

A Camp neeting in the 0,den Time.

The order of the day would be almost
almost uniformly this: The horn (Which
was long tin one. hung in the preach
ing-stand) was sounded at sunrise, when
it was expected that all persons in the
tents would rise. Half an hour later it
was blown for family worship, which
must be observed in every tent, after
which breakfast was prepared and eat
ell. At eight or nine, according to the
season, the horn announced prayer
meeting in the tents, atten it proclaimed
preaching; sitter that followed prayers
at the stand and call for mOurners; or,
as it was more correctly and elegantly
expressed, an invitation to such as de-
sired an interest in the prayers of those
present frOma conviction that they were
sinners" Then came a recess for the
midday meal, and after this there was
preaching again at 2 p. N. There were
prayers at the stand and mOurners called
forward again, after which there was
usually an adjournment to the open part
of the ground, and a grand prayer-meet-
ing organized in - the ring" The ring
meeting was formed in this way: If
there were many mourners at the altar,
as it was called-that is, two or three
designated benches in front of the pull
pit-sOme one in authority would order
a removal, on which some active fell
lows would shoulder few benches and
carry them to the square, and have them
placed in a convenient manner and ready
for the mOurners to kneel by or sit upon.
Before these We're removed, but in an
incredibly short time, enough stout
young men would Join hands around the
benches to form a compact enclosure
These again were enclosed by an outer
ring of those who were the first to spring
to the place, that they might have q
full view Of the proceedings; for it was
understood that this circle was not to be
entered except by the mOurncrS and
those who were to talk and pray with
them. The young people Of the coun-
try were generally good singers, and
knew the hymns and tunes mostly in
use, and the numbers who would Join in
the singing would now be surprising
Two resOlutc ones of the living wall of
this ring would be designated as at once
dOOrpOsts and dOOrkecpeTs, who at their
discretion admitted persons within the
enclosure. The mOurners were then
brought on, and entering kneclcd at the
benches, while a brother Of leading
voice would start, "Comc, We sinners
poor and needy" or some similar song,
in which every available voice would
join, not brick of the wall of this tab
enacle keeping silence. Then followed
a prayer, then a song, and then prayer.
and at last steady stream of song and
supplcation, running together like the
parts Of a .tugUe, harmonizing in spite of
all discord.-Lippjncott'S MDgagine,
