HO w 1T Is.

Some Of the Northern papers are a good
deal exercised because the Southern Baptist
Convention took no notice of DIR. Stone and
the Leland University in New Orleans. We
might retort by saying that DIR. Stone and the
Leland University took no particular notice of
Us. That makes Us even, and as the Doctor
has been better raised than we, and, Of
course. knew better what the occasion called
for, we think the Northern press ought 10 have
commenced with him first. But letting that
pass. We thiuk every thing went OIL just as ii
should. The Doctor Will be remembered as
the man who lectured oven the South some
time since and received from such men as
Gordon and Walne words OF commentator.
