The Providence Press of the 18th inst,
contains the following concerning one of our
Augusta clergymen:
Rev. Mr.. Penney, of Augusta, Me-, del
egate to the General Convention of the Free
Baptists, preached on Sabbath morning in the
Union Congregational Church on Broad ST.,
and eloquent and very impressive discourse
on unconscious influence. His text was a
part of the 10Th verse, 9th chapter of Acts
"that at least the shadow of Peter passing by
might overshadow some of them" The ex-
plantations, illustration and mode of reason
ing were most happy in their effect, claiming
the attention of the audience from beginning
to end, and leading all to see and feel that
goodness, manliness, moral worth, Christian
excellence and nobility of character have
alone that healing, ennoblng and saving pow
er that transforms this world into the kingdom
of the Lord. 1t would be well if such dis
courses could be given in all our pulpits.

The celebrated author, in this admirable Essay,
clearly demonstrates, from thirty years success
full practice, that the alarming consequences OF
selfabuse may be radically cured without the dan
gerous of internal medicine or the application
OF the knife, pointing out a mode of cure at once
simple, certain and enectual, by means Of which
every sufferer, no matter what his condition may
be, may cure himself cheaply, privately, and rddi-

THE ANNUAL ADDRESS
was delivered in the afternoon, by Mr.. Il. A.
Gilbert of East Turner, President of the
State Agricultural Board. He began his re-
marks by saying that farmers and mechanics
are intensely practical men, dealing almost
wholly with practical matters. Flights of
fancy are not what he desires. He had left
his focks and herds and his pillow in the fur
row, with the smell of the soil upon him, to
bid his brother farmers God speed. The
farmers is a noble occupation. In every de-
partment of life there is growth. Especially
true is this of agriculture, and he proceeded
to point out the successive steps of progress.

WHILE the Count de Chambord and
Prince Louis Napoleon are bidding for
the throne of France, there is a sort of
Tichborne claimant, called Naundortf,
who insists that he is the real heir to
that uneasy seat. Naundortf claims to
be the veritable Louis XVII, and his
assumption is founded upon the doubt
existing as to the death of the son OF
Louis XVI, in the Temple. Upon the
arrival OF this pretender in Paris, in
1888, he secured recognition from Ma
dame Rambaud, the nurse OF the Dau-
phin. Other persons welcomed him as
the lost Prince, and, as in the case of
the Tichborne claimant, the circum-
stantial evidence in his favor is at
once dazzling and perplexing. The
Duchess d 'Angouleme is represented to
have discarded Naundorf's claim, on
the supposition that the true Prince,
her brother, was i'll America. This
81 true Prince" Rev. Mr.. Hanson es-
saved to prove, was 10 other than Rev.
Eleazer Williams. A correspondent OF
the Baltimore GazcttG inclines to the
belief that when Eleazer Williams died
the lost Bourbon Prince expired. The
most likely case is that the son Of Louis
XVI. persisted in the Temple as his,
tory records. If Naundorff is disposed
to push his claim, we hope he has ia.
ken good care to protect his rear and
preserve his communications. Itch
borne is picking oakum at Newgate
! Naundorff may fare worse i'll the Con
cierrprio
