LONDON, Sept. l4-Various accounts
of the fighting around Plevna concur in
showing that the Turks, up to s o'clock
in the evening, repulsed the continued
assaults along the whole line. The
Emperor bad left the field when an
aid de-camp brought news that twelve
fresh Russian batteries had crossed the

pas- The Philadelphia Times says that at the
recent meeting of the State Central Commit
tee in Harrisburg, it was apparent that the
rural Democrats had on their war paint, and
were likely to execute the fercest sort of a
war dance, and, perhaps, take few scalps
before the day was over. Exactly what was
to be done nobody seemed to know, but the
old remark about the arrival of the time for
action was heard more than once. One gen.
tleman thought steps should be taken to or
ganize force of two hundred thousand spe-
cial constables to protect the rights of the
House of Representatives in the business of
counting the electoral vote. Another was
disposed to enlist a grand inauguration guard
for President Tilden, and pledged himself to
raise $500 men for the purpose at twenty -four
hours notice, with Republicans among them at
that, and the best soldier in western Pennsyl-
vania at the head. Others had no specific
measure to propose, but thought that Sam
Randall oug ght to be assured of backing,
and it might be advantageous to "point with
pride" to Senator Wallace. All said their
people were confident of Tilden's election, and
determined to see that he was seated. "Just
let Uncle Sam give the word, and we are
ready" was the cheerful assurance given by
one rural delegate and echoed by many.

Nor BAD SPEEcH.-Mr.. Ben. H. Hill,
of Georgia, made coDgratulatory address to
his fellow-citizens at Athens before leaving
for Washington, speaking on the supposition
that Gov. Tilden was elected. In it he said :
my Southern countrymen, the opportunity
for our revenge has come at last, and let it be
thorough and complete. But how shall we
take revenge upon our enemies? Not BY in
vading their country, nor burning their hous'
es, nor insulting their women! Not by pla-
cling disabilities upon their great men, nor by
disfranehising their people! Not by placing
them under the rule Of ignorance and crime,
reconstructing their States, and using the ar.
my to protect their robbers No, no! We
will do none Of these things. We shall take
revenge by giving them what their own Re-
publican leaders have been unable and un-
willing to give them-honest, peaceful, con:
stitutional government. We will labor for
our whole country, and oppress no part Of it.
We will breed no carpet-baggers, disperse no
Legislatures, and deprive no invalid soldiers
of their pensions. We shall guard carefully
the public credit and pay faithfully the pub
lie debt. We shall make every foot Of our
soil sacred to freemen, and every freeman
proud that he is an American citizen. Final
iy, we shall now build again our desolate
South, and make it brighter, happier, and
more prosperous than ever before. Our chill-
dren shall love it as the dearest land under

LORENZO Dow, MATcHED-There are per
sons still living who heard Lorenzo Dow
preach, and who recollect and relate many
amusing circumstances connected with the
ministry Of this long-bearded, long-haired, &C.
centric wanderer, who traversed land and sea,
preaching the gospel of Christ, but exhibiting
characteristic oddities which hardly pertained
to either law or gospel. Elder Pike tells Of
an instance which occurred when he, was
lad, when Dow, Notwithstanding his wit and
keenness, found his match Dow was an
nounced to preach in the morning at certain
meeting house, and iu the afternoon was to
be followed by woman named Clarissa Dan.
forth. Although Lorenzo Dow was regarded
as somewhat liberal and rregularin in his views
and practices, and favorable to some forms. of
gospel labor on the part of women, his text
for the morning discourse was:-
ut is shame for woman to speak in the
church." Cor. xiv :35. The sermon Of course
had no lack of point, and the circumstances
of its delivery gave it the interest of special
application to the occasion.
The congregation listened to Dow's view of
the subject, and in the afternoon gathered to
hear the woman preacher, Clarissa Danforth,
who arose and announced as her texs: Doth
not even nature itself teach you that if man
have long hair it is "a shame unto himr' l
Cor. xi: IA. ~.. ~
For once Dow had found his equal. The
parallel between the two sermons was complete
and he found that long hair flowing on his
shoulders, was as much "a shame" to man,
as speaking in the church could be to any wo-'
man; while any argument drawn from the
change of circumstances and customs, which
made it allowable for him toswear long hair,
was quite as pertinent in her case as his owns
He accepted the situation gracefully, andSat
the close of the discourse said : "Well, sister
Clarissa, you may preach, and 1 will wear my
long hair" " = ~. - .""l' 'El5lg, ~
Perhaps others, if brought to a similarte
would find themselves equally inconsistent in
some of their applications of Scripture, and
in the restrictions which they lay on the iibF
erty of others. Happy is he that doth not
condemn himself in that thing which he al.
loweth." Romans xiv v:22..EtiT
