God" The Scribe 10 whom this was addressed
had asked the Saviour concerning the great
and fundamental duties Of man, both to his Goo
and fellow man. 1t appears from the yers'
preceding the text that the scribe accepted
the Sayiour's statement Of the divine require
ments Of man as undoubted truth. lie believed
in ono God who was worthy of all love anC
alteration, and In love to neighbors as to our
selves When Jesus perceived that the serbs
was sound in his belief, he addressed him the
words Of the text. The speaker described ioul
classes Of persons who are not far from tn,

ever so near, they are not gifhin it, This scrib,
represented the first class the orthodox in be
lief second the moralists whose lives seem un
sIceptionable, amiable in all the social rela
tions, and ready for every good work, the thrt
class those who have been instructed in Cos
pei truths but have not experienced the diyin'
grace, the fourth class, and is composed 0
children and youth who have been duly in
structed. The form Of expression in the tex
implies that something was yet lacking in thi
scribe, as In the case Of the young man VIII
enquired :" what good thing he should do to in
herit eternal lle?" Something more is need

NORTHERN MEN WITH SOUTHERN FEEL

NORTHERN MEN WITH SOUTHERN FEEL
1NGs.-In days of old, when the support Of the
Southern people in Presidential election was
deemed a desirable thing, it was the fashion
to claim for candidates who lived north of
Mason and Dixon's line, that although they
were Northern men by birth, their sympathies
were with the South. We never had in those
days much faith in Northern men with South
ern feelings" As a general rule men who
were thus set forward as the peculiar friends
and supporters of q section of the country in
which they did not reside, and in whose mate:
rial interests they were not concerned, proved
to be cheats and often betrayed the confidence
reposed in them by the people of the South.
We must confess, however, that since the
close of the war our opinions have been some
what modified There are men of Northern
birth in all parts of the South, many of whom
have come into our section since the surrender
of Lee, who have proved themselves of one
mind with the white people of the South, on
all questions in which their interests are in
volved Such men ought to be, and we believe
are, most highly appreciated, and occupy a
warm place in the hearts of the Southern peo-
ple Regarding with unutterable contempt
the miserable vultures who have swarmed over
the South to prey upon her impoverised people,
we can but admire the good men and true who
have settled in our midst, identified themselves
with our interests, and made common cause
with us against the black tide of Radicalism
which so recently threatened to overwhelm U.S.

sI DON'T Care if I Take Another One OF
Them Thar Turkeys"

John S. is the chief engineer of six
OK team that plies between Denison and Red
River county, and by few is vulgary called
"bullwhacker." John was in Denison Christ
mas day, and after imbibing freely at our most
fashionable saloons, concluded that he would
like to eat something, and stepped into one of
our restaurants where an inviting dinner was
smoking on the table. John started in at the
front door with such speed as to make halt
rather difficult, and the consequence was he
took seat at one of the tables in the rear of
the room, upon which was placed many delca-
ces that were to be carried forward to other
tables, as occasion might require. Among
other good things to be found on this table was
a large, nice baked turkey-"done to turn" !"
as it were-and John took the carving knife
and made a vigorous raid upon it. The waiter
knew that John was in the wrong pew, and
that he was rapidly throwing himself on the
outside of delicious turkey that had been
carefully prepared for other epicures, but what
could the waiter do? John was large, robust
fellow, and was likely to strike out from the
shoulder with about the same result as kick
from mule. The waiter interviewed the pro-
pretor. The proprietor pulled aside green
curtain, stepped to the front, and, after survey
ing Johns huge form for few moments, con-
cluded that there was no use in making fuss
simply because man had seated himself at
the wrong table. He stood aside, however,
and silently looked on as that turkey sue
cumbed to the ravenous appetite of the gentle
man from Red River county. He saw loaves
of nice white bread accompanying that turkey,
while pies, cakes and jelly disappeared with
fearful rapidity. As John gave the turkey a
finishing touch, having cleared the dish of the
last vestage, the landlord-who had been won
dering all this time where his profit would come
in for this dinner courageous as well as
sarcastic, and sharpl y asked, is there anything
else, sir that can help you to-" John had
never observed his presence until now, and was
somewhat startled, but his reply showed that
he was equal to the emergency: He raised his
eyes and voice and startled the proprietor by
saying: "I don't care if you give me another
one of them thar turkeys" The restaurant
man congratulated himself that he got rid OF
his customer without further raid on his culi-
nary department, and without difficulty, but
he wants it distinctly understood that he would
sell out below cost rather than take the gentle
man from Red River county as regular board,

AUTOMATIC TELEGRAPH.-Som of the re

AUTOMATIC TELEGRAPH.-Some of the re.
ports that have leaked out about an autographic
telegraph just patented in Washington, but
withheld from publicity until patented in
other countries, intimate an improvement
that must be very convenient, and sometimes
exceedingly so, and may lead to radical
change in telegraphing. The principle is ap'
parently analogous to that discovered by a
Mr.. Bakewel, in England, several years ago.
and that has been employed with imperfect
success in France-perhaps elsewhere. AT
each station, a cylinder is attached to ,t the
transmitting and receiving instrument. The
manuscript to be sent is wrapped around one
and instantly duplicated on the other, no mat
ter how distant. The process is almost an
equivalent of photography, and is instanta-
neous. 1t is perceptible at glance that the
long dispatches now sent at so much cost
could be forwarded by this means as cheaply
as the shortest, as they would occupy no more
time nor any more labor.
