was still more astonishing, II had two eyes In
lie tall which, excepting the horn, was ex-
actly like the head, but was not so large.
Indeed, TO see the tall, one would have
thought that 10 was the head, and that the
horn was bis tongue. The horn was very
sharp. The snake seemed very fierce at lis
tail end, and endeavorcd to strike everything
that came near Its tall. i.., ... :
Various experiments were made to a,ccr-

tall, and II was demonstrated beyond doubt
that II could. These eyes had lids, which
opened and shut and CLEANED with anger.
Indeed, the tail-head seemed far more fierce

The engineer corps of the Memphis &

surveying route from the Tennessee
river in the direction of Pulaski and

Lawrenceburg and Pulaski. We learn
that the most difficult part of their route
was for five miles West OF Waynesboro.
The hill just beyond Waynesboro is bad +,
but above Clifton they found very ca
sy route from Wayne Furnace to the top
of the ridge in the direction of Lawrence
burg. Wayne and Lawrence counties
have made up sufficient funds to pay
for the survey through their counties. 1t
is thought Giles and Lincoln will do
likewise. Is there no chance teRget a

DR.. r. X. HARGRovE, formerly
of Franklin, now pastor of McKen-
dree Church, Nashville, publishes a
card in a recent number of the Re
rie,O and Journal, which we intended
TO call attention to at the time, but
our limited space forbade us. DR..
HARGROvE had been invited to a
public discussion of the mode of bap-
tism with one of the ministers of ano-
Their denomination. The Doctor de-
clined, upon excellent grounds, and
we mention the fact because we wish
TO commend his decision. The relig-
ion of Jesus Christ is put to shame in
these public discussions. Instead Of
PR noting His cause, it creates bitter
feeling between the denominations,
and alienatcs persons, who of all 9th
ers, should be friends and brothers.
Ministers may very properly preach
doctrinal sermons to their congrega-
tions, but whenever they assume the
attitude of theological prize fighters,
before a promiscuous aesemblage, we
cannot believe they are serving the
Master. Scctarian feeling is already
as strong in this country As it can be,
consistent with true piety, and moth
ing should be done to make it worse.
Be As firm III your convictions rs pos
-iblc, and do all you can to promote
The cause Of your own church, but
