GOLIATH LRYENIH0RPE, OF CALDWELL,
Is the candidate for auditor on Mr.. Greeleys
ticket In North Carolina. During the late war
he commanded rebel regiment and won the
distinction Of the most brutal and inhumRn
monster that ever wore q Confederate uni
form. His military career in Randolph
county, In that State, placed him on the
same enainence OF iufamy With Writ and
Bradley johnson. Randolph county was dur
log the late rebellion q steadiast Union
county, and refused, 10 be drawn into tho
vortex Of secession. The majority Of her
citizens not only refused 10 enter the rebel
service, but when they were drafted fed to
the woods. The Confederate authorities
finally determined TO bring Randolph 10
terms, and the gallant Leyenthorps was Sc
lected as the fitting Instrument 70 carry out
the inhuman orders that were given him.
With a regiment Of soldiers he marched into
that county and arrested the wives and
daughters Of every man who had shown his
devotion 10 the Union by refusing to bear
arms against his country.
This scoundTel, whom the New York Tri-
bune Is now endeayorlng 10 elect auditor Of
North Carolina, imprisoned these women in
pen, and for days'an days deprived them
OF the common necessaries' of life that he
might effort confession Of the place Of con-
csAlment OF their husbands aud fathers. The
sufsrings that these unfortunate women un-
4 derwent at the hands Of this military monster
JeVenthrOpe form the darkest chapter in the
his.ory Of the war. Many OF them while
they we're thus incarceTAted gave birth to
children, and were made in thousand ways
70 endure the most horrible tOrments. As
last resort TO make them disclose their
secrets he compelled them to place their
thumbS'Ou the edge Of fence and upon a
board placed over their fingers In this posi-
ton ordered his soldiers to seat themselves.
All this ls matter Of record and cannot be
successfully denied, This Is one Of the men
with whom Mr. Greeley is 80 anxious To
shake hands across the bloody ohasm.

PRACTICAL PREAcuING.-The average
hearer desires practical preaching as the
staple of the pulpit, because he knows it
it was what he, his children and his
ueighbors need to live aud to die by to en-
able them to resist temptation, and to
keep their hearts from breaking when
friends pass from sight. When a simple
truth is expounded, or an every day duty
urged, he does not say in spirit of COM
paint, II know that / know it better
than the minister shut up in study while
| am in the midst of life" On the con
trary he confesses, "Iow strange | for.
ever forgetting my great need That
the world has su,h dominion when il
does not give me peace" For, as ha,
been said, "the relations and duties OF
common humanity shine with an awful
and divine meaning to the Christian, and
to the one striving to be Christian"
Practical preaching docs not exclude
doctrinal it teaches the grounds of our
faith, wherein we differ from other be-
levers, and the nobler plan of agreement
Nor does it exclude theoretical but,whie
gladly acknowledging that an argument
sometimes gloriously solves doubt, it
sees that there is no argument like ex-
perience; that we prove the doctrine in
obeying it; that it is the evil heart of un.
belief We have most to dread; and that
we are to work out, rather than to think
out our salvation.-ReligiouS Magazine

The Great International Exposition at
vienna.

The importance of the great Exhibit
ton, to American Merchants, Mechanics.
Manufacturers and Inventors can scarce
ly be overestimated. Every nation. but
the United States, have already overrun
the space allotted to them, and are ap-
plying for additional accommodations for
the vast number Of Exhibitors who are
pressing forward to take part in the en-
terprse. Russia, Turkey, Greece, Egypt,
and all the older Agricultural nations are
mauiiesting the greatest eagerncss to get
hold of the latest improvements in la
bor-savng machinery, and will crowd the
Halls Of the Exhibition. This Exposi-
ton is to be unquestionably much larger
and more imposing, in every respect, than
any that have preceded it. Inventors
will be fully protected. and every facility
will be afforded Exhibitors both to show
their goods and to sell them.
No expenses will be laid upon Exhib-
itors, SO far as the undersigned is advs-
ed, except such as may cover transporta-
tion, unpacking, placing on exhibition,
storing boxes, rcracking and reshipping,
and insurance. No charge will be made
for services by the Commissioner or the
Assistant Commissioners, except that
Exhibitors will be expected to pay the
expenses Of unpacking and placing goods,
which will be done by an Assistant Com
missioner, and at a rate much lower than
if done by different parties. Any one
desiring to exhibit will, at the earliest
moment, make an application to the un-
dersigned Assistant Commissioner, in
writing, stating exactly what articles he
proposes TO send and the space required.
Articles will be placed in the Exhibi-
tion building between the 1st of Februa-
ry and the 18th of April, 1878. Ar
rangemcnts have been made with the
Steamship Lines and Railways. for re-
duction on freights, which will be made
public when ascertained, 1t is UNDER
stood that Austria has appropriated to
the enterprise over six millions Of dollars,
little Italy has appropriated two millions,
and all the other Governments in pro-
portion. It's most earnestly hoped, that
for the credit Of the nation, our country
men will largely avail themselves OF the
privileges offered, and fill the American
Department with the choicest specimens
Of their skill, industry aud enterprise.

CoURAGE.-A man must needs have a
courage which comes Of his faith in God,
There are various things which pass by
that pane. There is the courage Of the
murderer, who at MONDAY or at midnight
strikes down his victim. There is the
courage of the law-maker who in the
fact of the nation, consciously, willfilly
tramples under foot the cacred safeguards
Of human right, and treads down what is
holy, to make mischief by statute, and
bring human law into contempt There
is the courage of Judge Jeffries. who
set the law of man at defiance, and scorns
and spits upon the law of God, to serve
the rage of brutal king. All those
forms have their admirers, aud the last
two are sure 20 be applauded in church
aud state in the nnteenth century as they
we're in the seventeenth and eighteenth.
There is a courage which comes 70 firm
.ruscles, of nerves not over-delicate, which
has its vaille. l wtuldnot underrate
that sort, purely physical though it be.
But the cool calm courage which comes
of self-respect, of earnestness Of pourpose
though faith in God, is quite different
thing. That is courage which can la
Dor only by just and fair means. That
is courage also that can wait. That is
curage that can suffer with a, Father,
not my will, but thine be done" There is
courage that is noisy. that is SUPER
icial, that stirs men and makes them
shout, hushes the cheek and fires the eye.
But the courage that comes OF earnestness
Of purpose and self-respect walks still in
the street, and remembers there is an
Eye that is on them, and that is a
courage that will not shrink. Theodore
Parker.

OLIVER GoLDsMITn.-A singular an
ecdote is related of Godsmith's last Jour-
ney to Edgeworth's town, previous to his
entrance at college Having lett home on
horseback, he reached Ardagh, where it
was necessary for him 20 sleep at night
fall. He had guinea in his pocket, and
was determined 10 eujoy himself. He
asked for the best house in the place, and
from Il piece Of Irish literal comprehen-
sion, or waggery, was directed to pri-
vate house instead Of an inn. Goldsmith
had no thought of a mistake, and being
readily admitted by the servants, who,
from his confidence, concluded that he
was some well-known friend and invited
guest Of their master, he gave directions
concerning his horse, and being shown in-
to the paror, found there the owner Of
the mansion at his fresidc-a Mr., Feath-
erstone, a gentleman Of fortune aud some-
what oi wit. Oliver began to call about
him with authority, as one entitled to at
tentlon ; and his host having soon detect.

enjoy an evenings amusement, humored

Oliver chose to order, to be brought to

tcrs an invitation to supper at his own
table, and received with becoming atten-
tion strict injunctious to have hot cake
ready for breakfast on the following
morning. 1t was not till he called foi
his bill before quitting the house that the
abashed school-lad discovered his bunder
and learned that he had been entertained
at the residence Of his father. The ad.
venture was subsequently, made to furnish

Died in n Grog Shop.

Who ? A young man ofbriliant intel.
lcct, with mind that would have some
day enabled him to carve his name high
up among the ilustrious and good men
who have acted upon and withdrawn from
this stage of action. The son of some
fond and living mother died in grog
shop! In the midst Of revelry, enchained
by wild music and ribald songs waited
upon by women lost to all honor and vir.
tue; associated with .hose who called
upon the holy name of the great Jeho-
vah, not to bless, but to curse, surrounded
by all that was infamous and unholy
and under the Influence of that which at
last browns all that is pure and noble in
manhood, he is called to the judgment
bar OF Almighty God, there to await he
verdict Of Him who dcaleth justly with
all His creatures.
Would to heaven we could dash from
our sight such pictures as this. Time, la
Dor, money, all would be willingly sacri-
iced could the young man Of America

SLEEPING CAR INCIDENT.-We have
a man among US, man named-lct US
say Smith who is another victim OF rail-
road monopolies. a few nights ago. he
got IN a sleeping car at Plttsburg, and
sIumbcrei peacefully for two or three
houis. About midnight, he thought he
woulJ set out upon the platform for Il
to enjoy the delicious moonlight, lie did
so aud slammed the door after him. Ia
a minute or two he had breathed enough
fresh air, and had gazed sufficiently loug
upon the moonlight The door had "a
spring lock, and would not open; and,
although he thumpcd aud pounded with
vigor, the car keeper did not hear him.
So that denuded Smith, dressed in a night
shirt Of ridiculous thinness, sat down on
the steps while the train went dashing
over the Allcghanies. Probably in the
whole domain Of nature moro discouso-
late and melancholy Smith than that
shuddering being upon the steps could
not be found and he was mad besides.
When the train reached Downington he
was discovered. He retained his sitting
posture when he was carried into the car,
and even when hO got home. And now
he sits in a chair, with bardages on his
head, tallow upon his nose, mustard
plasters upon his back, his feet in hot
water, and with enough rheumatism in
his bones to 60 around among the entire
Smith family and make each member
utterly miserable. When interviewed
upon the subject of sleeping cars and
moonlight, Mr.. Smith now uses language
which no respectable paper can print
without endangering the public morals

JEIoyAn's SWIFT WINGS. The Ara
hian gazelle is swift as the wind. 1t it
ct but one glimpse of the hunter, it puts
many crags between. Solomo,, four or
five times, compares Christ to an Arabi-
an gazelle calling it by another name),
when he says; My beloved is like "a
roe" The difference is that the roe
speeds the other way; Jesus speeds this.
Who, but Christ, could have been quick
enough to help Peter, when the water
pavement broke? Who, but Christ,
could have been quick enough to help the
Duke of Argyle, when in his dying mo-
ment, when he cried Good cheer |
could die like Roman, but | mean to
die like a Christian. Come away, gen.
tlemen! He who goes first, goes clean
est" | had friend who stood by the
rail track at Carlisle, Pennsylvania, when
the ammunition had given out at Antic-
tam, and he saw the train from Harris
burg, freighted with shot and shell, as it
went laundering down toward the bat
tle-6eld. He said that it stopped not
for any crossing. They put down the
brakes for no grade. They held up for
no peril The wheels were on fire with
the speed as they dashed past. If the
train did net come up in time with the
ammunition, it might as well not come
at all. So, my friends. there are times
in our lives when wc must have help i'm
mediately, or perth. The grace that
comes too late is no grace at all. What
yon and want is God-now, Oh. is
it got blessed to think that God is always
in such quick pursuit of his dear chill
