Perhaps the browning peculiarly Of
Mr.. Sturgeon is that there is scarcely
man in all his congregation, aggre-
eating seven thousand persons, whom
he docs not personally know.
Minnesota has 162 Baptist churches,
with 1851 members. There are eight
associations. The members are of
many NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., Ger
man. French, Scandinavian, Danish,
African. They have only 5G houses
of worship, but are building 20 more.
In California church-property is
taxed. The measure was adopted
originally on account Of the vast
estates held there by the Catholics at
the lime Of the ccssion of the territory
by Mexico to the United States. The
l'rote:tan;s accept the situation with
out complaint.
y conversation of all the ArchbishopS
OF the Roman catholic church in
the United States is being held in
Cincinnati this week. The object of

The Memphis Appeal of Il recent
date says Martin Kelley and Forrest,
the former city treasurer and the lat
ter late presi lent of the Selma railroad
company, have entered into q contract
to haul tirewood into Memphis. They
will drive a spike team" - three
mules each-and propose to reduce
the price of frewood. The city treas
urer confesses the superiority of the
general as a wagner, who forty years
ago hauled tanbark to James Elder,
president of DeSoto bank, then a
great tanner in Holly Springs. The
general at that time was barefoot, and
hauled enough bark to pay for pair
Of shoes. The bark was taken from
the sixteenth section (public school
iand), the oxen used he bought at
five dollars each. He made the yoke
and bows and borrowed the wagon,
and then, having the leather, he made
his own shoes. Gen. Forrest is OPP
posed to idleness, and says if wood
hauling was not profitable he would
drive a dray or work on the streets.
The city treasurer is of the same
way of thinking. and neither was ever
idle. The woodward of these two dis
tinguished gentlemen may be found

TEE GRAY AND THE BLUE.
Beautiful, Appropriate and Touch
in. Tributes by Federal Soldiers.

MOBILE, April 27.-The memorial
exercises here to-day were witnessed
by the entire community and vicinity.
a beautiful statue was unveiled. Rev.
DR.. b. N. Palmer, of New Orleans,
orator, after delivering a beautiful
and appropriate address, and inst as
admiral Semmes was about to I'M
veil the statue, Col. Wickersham, our
popular postmaster, who was a federal
soldier during the war, stepped for
ward and presented the admiral with
beautiful wreath of flowers, in the
shape Of 4 circle and cross, accompan-
led by the following touching and APP
propriate note:
"The floral offering is rendered with
the kindly and sympathetic greetings
of surviving federal soldier residents
in Mobile, who honor the brave and
heroic dead Of the late war, and desire
your acceptance Of the same as an
humble tribute to valor ard unseltish
devotion to cause held dearer than
life. Fresh be the memory of those
under the GOD and the dead awaiting
the Judgment day; under the one the
blue, under the other the gray"
Admiral Semmes accepted the floral
offering in a neat and appropriate adj
dress. At the completion, the statue
was unveiled amid peals Of artillery
from guns kindly loaned by the fede-
rails for that purpose. Another pleas
ant incident Of the occasion was the
following acceptable offering:
"April y, 1874.-From the officers
of the United States army, Stationed
ut Mount Vernon barracks, Alabama,

respect 10 the memory of their gallant

Birthstone Brooks was a blood-and-
thunder, furious, ranting preacher in
days of yorc. He served the Ohio
conference nine years; then roared,
for a time, to the great OBLIGATION Of
the good people in the bounds and
service of the Iowa conference; then
he edited one Of the usual Christian
Advocates, and was especially addict
cd to the deDunciation Of the sin Of
slavery; and then, at last, birthstone
lapses from the church away down in
to the nethermost parts of Arkansas
politics, and the State, from that day
forth, has been convulsed from center
to circumference. Birthstone Is a
more frightful moral earthquake than
that frightful physical force which
shook Arkansas into quagmires in

Mr. Edmund Clarence Steadman,
the poet, who has spent some time in
Florida, thinks that State is going to
be largely settled by people from the
north, among them many wealthy
people who will have only their winter
residence there. He says that those
States in which the southern whites
have retained the management princi-
pally in their OVID hands, Of which
Georgia is a notable example, are far
more preferable than those States
managed by a combination of adven-
turers from both the north and the
south, of which South Carolina NAV
be mentioned at the other extreme.
In Georgia the people are active,
hopeful, and the towns are prosperous
and growing, and real estate is advanc-
ing. On the contrary, in South Car
olina real estate is offered at less than
one-half It's intrinsic value, and the
people seem to have all their pluck
taken out of them by the frightful
burden of taxation and State debt.
