Luke s; Is, 1.-The Unjust Judge" He SAID
the parable was exceedingly pla1ni 1ndeed,
spake parable to them to this end, That
men ought always to pray, and not 70
faint" We must pray regularly and stated
MIR. Mooney then spoke of the unjust judge,
who feared not God, neither regarded man
what a moral monster he must nave Deen;
Here certainly the judicial ermine tral!ed
in the dust. The idea that Judge is IN
vested with ermine, though fabulous and
mythical, Is nevertheless tnHTll a eIoI
that the little creature called the Ermlne Is
so acutely sensitive as to its cleanliless that
slightest touch of defiIement upon its snow
white fur" Surely like sensibility should
belong to him who comes to exercise the au-
gust functions of a Judge. How painful the
contrast between this beautiful ideal of
judicial officer and the Judge actually in
troduced to our notice in the parable. Two
strokes of the Divine pencil describe the
daring and desperate wickedness of the
man. He "feared not God, neither regard
ed man." None but the son of God Him
self would dare to compare such man to
God. 1t was done to show the unlikeneSs,
and not the likeness between God and the
unjust Judge. The widow represented the
church under persecution, and the 'adver-
Sary" the prince of the power of the air.

HICKMAN COUNTY ITEMS.

On last Friday night we had quite a
storm, accompanied with severe lights
ming, thunder and rain. We learned
that there was good deal of damage
done in some parts of the county to the
corn crops and timber.
On Wednesday night we had two dis
tinct shocks OF an earthquake. The
first was light, but the second was seN
we're enough to rattle the window sash
and doors, and to brighten the super
stitious and timid.
Our farmers are busy gathering their
crops and sowing wheat. The corn crop
is abundant-perhaps the largest yield
since the war. The cotton is about the
poorest we have had for a number of
years, many fields yielding not more
than hundred pounds to the acre. The
peanuts are excellent, producing a
large yield to the acre, but there was
not large crop planted.
Mrs. AlVa Breeze and Mrs. Miller,
mother of d. G. Miller, died a few days
since. Also Mrs. John Burchett, living
on Swan Creek, died on the 23d of Oc-
tober. All of them were old and re-
spected citizens. The sickness in our
county has abated to considerable eX-
teut.
The transfer of the Miller Barnes fish~
ing party from the deep blue waters OF

Piney, did not result as successfully as
was contemplated. The company was
increased by the addition of several 9TH
ers from Centreville; and as Mr.. Scott
Mayes, who styles himself the
"boy fisherman" was the most success
full angler in all the company, the other
members of the party desire their names
withheld from the public. Why this is
we cannot say, as "Uncle Scott" and
Bobby Clagett were regarded a COM
plete success in at least one department
of the fishing club on Buftalo-if fish
bones and eggsshells are sufficient evil
dences of success.
A, NJ. Reams, the clever and popular

the issuance OF the following marriage
licenses for the last week: Mr.. Mark

Wesley How ell to Matilda Kelly; VIM.
NJ. Brown to Miss Sarah Z. Pinkerton;
VIM. T. Thompson to Miss Mary j. An

report of marriages, We have to chroni-
Gle the death of some of our best citi-
zens. Mr.. James McCollum, the father
of Hon. Levi McCollum, died about the
18th of October, and his wife died in six
DAYS after. Both of the above couple
were old, near neighbors, lived on Low
er Beaver Dam; and have been from
their youthful days strict members OF

RrItIsh OuarterIy Review.

The British Quarterly ReUie,0, for october,
republished by the Leonard Scott Publish
ing Company, IL Barclay street, N. Y, con-
tains as follows: Religious Art; The Atomic
Theory of Lucretius; The Poetry of Alfred
Tennyson; The EtruScans and their Lam
guages; The Boarding out OF Pauper Or
phans; Modern Necromancy; Isaac Casau-
bon; Contemporary Literature.
The object of the essay on Religious
Art is to ascertain 1.-THE truth about the
relative positions, attributes, and powers Of
art and godliness." On the ground that art
is he labor of human hands, whereas "re-
Iigion is an ASPIRATION of the soul, u" Of which
the hands are Ignorant, IL Is cOntended that
art cannot be religious.
"One great aim of Lucretius, in the I)c Be
rum Ndt,UrG, was to set forth the scientific
truths of the time; and its value in the eyes
of science now lies in its full and exact
statement Of an ancient theory which the
latest experiments confirm" The Atomic
Theory, which the present article fully ex-
plains, did not originate with Lucretius,
but Is attributed to Epicurus, and was
taught by DemOcritus, who died b. {. $50.
The creed of Lucretius Is pronounced to be
substantially the same as that OF the mod
ern materialist.
Article third begins with a review of
80 Ieen 4 Mary" and branches OF into a no.
its, defects, and popularity, and the proba-
BILE permanence of the authors poetical rep
utation.
The essay on "Modern Necrcmancy',
points out, 18th at while there is ample testi-
mony as to the occurrence of phenomena
inexplicable according to the general order
and limitation of organic life, the study OF
these phenomena has not advanced a sim
gle step beyond the establishment Of their
objective reality" that Its study is atten-
ded with disadvantage and danger, and
with results that are absolutely unreliable,
and that modern spiritualism Is identical
with ancient necromancy.

SbaLsnaare CIub.

At the last meeting of the Club they
had one of their most interesting and
enjoyable entertainments, After read>
ing the first two facts of Richard the
Second, MIR. Ed. SAMSON favored the
Club with splendid essay on the chars
acter of POEtia, which was greatly ap-
preciated. DIR. A. L. Pillow, as usual,
was on hand, and seemed perfectly de-
lighted with the exercises, and enjoyed
very much the wit and humor of the
Society. The Helicon Brass Band made
their appearance at the south door OF
the courthouse during the exercises,
and discoursed sweet music; and the
President, supposing that it was COM
pliment to the Club, perched himself in
the window and made the following
beautiful and appropriate speech:
Gentlemen of the Band: AS Presi-
dent of the Shakespeare Club, and in be-
half of our society, return to you our
warmest thanks for the exquisite music
with which you have seen tit to honor
our body"
Greatly to the establishment of the
President, and to the joy of the Club,
the President was greatly confused
when he discovered his mistake, and
saw that the band was simply practic-
ing, An election was held in the Club,
which resulted as follows: Mr.. Ed.
SAMSON, President; J. B. Smith, Secre~
tary, and Petway Howell, Treasurer.
The Club meets every Saturday night
in the ChancerY Court room.

presented the appearance of rain, which
caused some hesitation, untilsome of the
party who were Indifferent to conse-
quences, with others who were induced
by especial wages" started in time to
reach the Falls about half after eleven
o'clock. An hour or so was spent in
scrambling over the rocks and visiting
the "tavorite" hooks and retreats for
which this place is so famous, few OF
which are held sacred in the hearts of
many young couple. After partaking
of a bOuntitul dinner that was spread
upon the rocks at the head of the Falls,
the party had their photographs taken
in groups of three and four by our ex-

ceeded IN taking many splendid views.
No excursion was eyer attended with
more pleasure, and many hearts were
panied when they were summoned to
come home. In bidding farewell to the
dear old place each seemed to promS

Enter.ainmentatth the Institute.

Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. Beckett gave an enter
ainment at the Institute last Tuesday
night, November I'd, 1875, to Mr.. and Mrs,
Charles Z. Cecil, which was not very eX-
tensive in numbers, but it was very fine in
quality. The elite of the city were there,
and better selected crowd for enjoyment
could not have been gathered together.
Among Jhe'crowd from distance was Miss
es Susie Eastin, of Nashville, and Polk, OF
Europe, and Mrs. Hine, OF GAINESVILLE. The
crowd was composed mostly ofthe intimate
friends and acquaintance of Mr.. and Mrs,
Cecil. The ladies all present were dressed
in the hight of style and fashion, and look
selves highly entertaining and very pleas
ant. Some were especially so. The bride was
looking very beautiful, and entertained
very gracefully. The groom was handsome
and dignitied. The crowd danced a few
sets, and al about 1917 o'clock they were in
Vited to the dining-roOm, where most ele-
giant supper was spread. The supper was
pronounced a very superior one, and con-
sisted OF everything necessary to satisfy
and was such a one as they only know how
to prepare. After supper the crowd par
UiCipated in dancing and prOmenading until
about u o'clock, when they dispersed. The
whole affair was remarkably pleasant
one, and was avery high compliment to the
bride and groom. The whole crowd SEEM
ed to enjoy it so much, and everything
ana Mrs. Beckett have very charming
way of entertaining their visitors always,
but on this occasion they were highly en-
tertaining. Madame EStevc, Misses
Holmes, BriStow and Bryant, members of
the faculty of The Institute, gave their press
ence, which added much to the pleasant
occasion, ATTENDANT.

course of lectures. He expects to be-
gone about four months, or probably lon

cal school of Nashville in the year 1865
After receiving his diploma he set up as a
practitioner at his old home, where h.
has done a heavy practice ever since.
For the last two months he has had more

There are but few young physicians after
commencing practice, who have done the
practice that DR.. Williamson has. This
speaks we'll for him, not only as a physic-
ian but as gentleman. No one in this
community stands higher in the scale OF
morals and religion than he does, In
taking this step the Doctor makes a
great sacrafce, but the benefit he will de-
rive will fully compensate him. He will
not only get his mind stored with all the
late discoveries in medicine, but he will
get a long rest, which he very much
needs. His neighbors regret very much
to see him leave.

Lecture Tonight.

Tonight Hon. N. G. Taylor will deS
liver a lecture at the Masonic Hall for
the benefit of the Columbia Library
Association, on the subject: "The North
and the South" As popular orator,
Mr.. Taylor is second only, if second at
all, to VIM. 7. Haskell, the gifted orator
of Tennessee. Many Of our citizens
will remember him as the IIlector for
the state at large on the Bell and Ever
EFT ticket, who canvassed the state a.
gainst Gen. Whitthorne in 1860, and in
which canvass he confirmed his reputa-
ton as one otTennessee's most eloquent
orators. He was in Congress before the
war, and at one time occupied the posi-
ton of Commissioner of Indian affairs.
In answer to a call from the citizens of
Nashville, lectured there on Tuesday
night last. We trust that our people
will turn out in force, to show their ap-
probation of his ability, and enjoy the
rich treat which is offered.
