A Good Movement for Peace and Re-
cOnstrucftOu.


In and around Vicksburg some,of the hard
est fighting of the war of the rebellion was
done. The names that figure in history as
actors in the bloody drama belong to soldiers
and sailors who bear honorable records
Grant, Sherman, Ord, Logan Porter on our
side; Pemberton, Joe Johnston, Loring,
Breckenridge on the side of the Confederacy.
The siege was prosecuted vigorously by the
Union army aided by the feet. The defence
was such as brave troops, faithfully led might
be expected to make. That it was fruitless
was owing to the military genius and the iron
will of the great comman Ter who pressed on
ward from the Mississippi until the life was
crushed out of the rebellion; but his own
words bear honorable testimony to the gal
lantry of the defence. ''Men who have shown
so much courage and endurance as those now
in Vicksburg," wrote General Grant to the
rebel commander, twill always challenge the
respect of an adversary, and, l can assure you,
will be treated with all the respect due them
as prisoners of war" And Lieutenant Cen
eral Pemberton, who defended Vicksburg, did
not suffer the gall of defeat to deter him from
doing equal justice to the bravery and the gen.
erosity of the Union leader and his army.
From Vicksburg, where little over twelve
years ago the horrors and passions of war
prevailed comes the first note of a movement
of true peace, reconciliation and good will,
which we hope may find favor all over the
United States North and South. The SOL
ders of the late war have established there an
organization known as 'sThe Order of the
Blues and Grays." AS the name implies its
members are composed both of those who
fought under the Union flag and Of those who
did service under the banner Of the Confed-
eracy. The object is to ioster kindly relations
between the men who stood few years ago
in hostility to each other, and to practically
bury the animosities growing out of the un-
natural conflict. We can conceive of no more
effective means of accomplishing this desir-
able end than by drawing into social inter-
course and personal friendship the soldiers
who fought on both sides. and who have
learned to respect each other as brave men
always do. One such association as this is
worth thousand political union leagues
or white mems leagues. 1t brings
together the fighting element of the
country, and prepares those who fought
so gallantly on opposite sides to fight to-
gether, shoulder to shoulder, under the COM
mon banner of united nation, should the
occasion tor foreign war ever unhappily arise.
The example set by the Blues and Grays in
Vicksburg might well be followed by the
Grand Army of the Republic. What better
contribution could the members of that splen-
did organization give to that peace and re-
construction with which we should all desire
to celebrate the Centennial than the throwing
open of their doors to the soldiers of the Con-
federacy and hailng them as comrades in the
new army of the Republic?

Pulpit Topics To-Day.

There are perhaps no two traits of Christian
character so much needed in the world to-day
as those on which Mr.. Rossiter will preach
charity and holiness. The former covers a
multitude Of sins and never faileth. Many
waters cannot quench it, neither can the floods
drown it. The latter will not thrive well
where sin does exist and is inconsistent with
it. So that the promotion of holiness in fact
rather than in name or in theory is what cler-
gymen Of every denomination should aim at
A heart that is holy is heart that has fixed
doctrines and fixed morals, and that gives no
undue care to the wants or woes of the morrow.
1t trusts God from Gay to day, and such trust
and such fxedness of doctrines and morals
DIR. Thompson will inculcate to-day.
That man should attempt to rob God may
seem an act of insanity, and yet the Scriptures
declare that such a crime is committed by
men, and DR.. Deems will set forth the utter
Nervousness of this species of robbery, and
persuade men to give it up and take to honest
methods between God and their own souls, as
they do between man and man for if they
do not Judgment will come at the end of the
Christian dispensation, and some of those
who now rob with impunity may be found
without defence or counsel in that day. 1t
will be WE'LL then, to have shelter or support
in the Higher Rock of which Mr.. Macarthur
will speak, and to feel that the hand that
healed the paralytic centuries ago is yet
stretched out for their defence and help; that
He who can baptize with fire, of which bap-
tism Mr.. Corbitt will speak, can also receive
the returning prodigal and make him forget
the days of evil through which he may have
passed.
Mr.. Hepworth is again at his post working
and ready to work, and as the campaign is
just opening before him he sets out this
morning to show his people the difference
between work that is productive Of good and
work that is good for nothing, SO that they
shall not waste time and energy on fruitless
endeavors And his maxims will, doubtless,
be applicable to others as we'll as to his own
people, for we are all alike, yet different.
DR.. Hawthorne will demonstrate the uni
versatility of the law of vicarious suffer-
ing and show how the loss of life
may be the saving of life. He will
also give some thought to ''Paurs prayer for
Onesiphorous.'' Mr.. Chadwick, who has
been studying nature in its numerous
phases during the summer, will open the
campaign in his church this morning with q
discourse on Natural Religion" the twin
sister of revealed religion. Both declare
their divine origin and give evidence of one
common parentage. And thus to-day will the
Sabbath hours be passed in meditating on
topics moral and material, practical and

The Value Of the Shakespcarian
Disc UsSiOu.


There is one important point in the Shake
spearian discussion, which at present re-
ceives SO much attention from the literary
world, upon which we must be permitted to
differ from Mr.. Horace Howard Furness,
whose brief but able contribution we recently
published Mr.. Furness said 1.-THE subject
now being discussed is one in which take
but very little interest. The name Of
Shakespeare has become household
word, and the authorship does not
affect the quality of the plays. A diamond is
a diamond, whether found in a gutter or in
Golconda." 1t is likely that this distinguished
student spoke hastily, for upon reflection he
must perceive that the question of person.
ality, as between Shakespeare and Bacon, is
of the highest importance. If it were
question as between Shakespeare
and Jones, or Smith, or Memo, we
should agree with Mr.. Furness, for
the mere name is nothing. But Bacon is not
name, it is personality. He was the
founder of modern philosophy, man who,
in his own immortal words, ''took all knowl-
edge to be his province" If there is the
slightest probability that he was the au-
thor of Hamlet and Lear, the study
of the evidence in his favor cannot be
neglected. If Bacon wrote these plays
of the power of the human intellect;
all manhood is exalted to heights
hitherto unsuspected, and if our belief
that we are not as dust that rises
up and as dust falls again is based upon the
achievements of the mind, then we should
have in the evidence that Bacon included
Shakespeare new evidence of immortality
ITSELF This is not an e1aggeration; it is
philosophy. But, dismissing such grave con-
siderations, which perhaps have no place in q
literary debate, surely the great men of his
tory are as interesting and important to US as
their works?
With this brief comment upon the observa-
ton of Mr. Furness, which We make simply
to proper understanding of the dignity of
this question of the authorship of the plays,
we introduce to the public some new contri-
buttons. Recorder Hackett who inherits a
love for Shakespeare, which he has strength
ened by his own study Of the plays, sums up
the argument as o Judge. We are indebted to
him for this valuable service, but as the evi-
dence is not all presented his charge to the
jury will have to be withdrawn. The Supreme
Court is the tribunal by which the facts
and the law will ultimately be submit.

the leaders, receives q scathing rebuke from
our correspondents, 'Theocritus' and "Pru-

it only makes itself ridiculous.
