PULPIT WORK TOO HOT.

Eastern papers state that the clerical
exodus is larger this season than ever
before. As soon as the mercury regis
tiers among the nineties, it is getting to
be popular among American clergy
men to lay aside pulpit responsibilities
and seek the grassy dclls and cool
mountain retreats of picturesque
Switzerland. They thereby practical
~ act as though Satan accepted their
proposals for spiritual truce during
the heated term and as if the Almighty
suspended the dispensation Of His
providence and withholds His saving
power while hot weather continues.
This wholesale pulpit vacation policy
is dcmoralizing to the Christian public.
1t is tantamomt to announcing that
the church temporarily ceases opera
tons in evangclization and that church
members havea free season ticket to par
ticipatc in the dissipating frivolitics Of
fashionable summer resorts.
What a sad departure from old
timed ministerial conservatism and eff
cicny. 1t is an advertisement that the
clergy are wanting in muscular Chris
tianity. We grant that there are
times when ministers need and should
have rest and recreation, but we deny
that the Gospel sanctions the habit of
city preachers regularly each summer
deserving their focks This custom Is
seriously telling upon the spirituality
Of metropolitan churches. Deprived
Of the restraining influences Of their
clerical advisers during the summer,
they lapse into serious spiritual declcn-
sion from which in many instances
they never recover. Can it be that
the Evil One is insidiouSly inoculat-
ing the American pulpit with dyspcp-
STA that he may thereby have a chance
to apostatizc the followers of Christ
during the hot weather? Asa general
thing there is too much real or assumed
physical effeminacy in the present race
Of clergymen. The early heralds Of
/ the Cross were stalwart men in muscle
and spiritual power. Their bodie.
were not medicine chests. Then
checks wore the bloom Of health ant
their hearts never wcaried in winning
souls. But in this generation it seem.
that rcaaigion is being placed in a strait
jacket through the bodily infrmity anC
sicllly aesthetic culture Of many metropo
Titan clergymcn. Judging fromappear
ances we would infer that the average
fashionable preacher of to-day in hi
habits and work is nearer kin to Ssta1
than he is to the Apostles.

GALATz, Friday Evening, June %.
This morning the the wounded came
i'll and continued to do so all day.
Judging from the number Of ambu-
lances the wounded brought back are
not less than three hundred. At 10
o'clock the Russians gave up, after an
attempt to gain possession Of the road
leading to Tchctchille over the hills,
finding a grove near the village filled
with Turks. They therefore retired to
hill and then to a ravinc, and at
tackled a battery, capturing it late in
the afternoon. The first landing was
hand to hand conflict The first man
killed was a young Russian officer
He sprung ashore and wassho through
the forehead. The object Of crossing
and the action at Calais was toprotect
the greater crossing at Ibrail
Later accounts from Ibrail agree
with the Galatz correspondent in show
ing that the fighting was serious ut the
crossing opposite Galatz. An HbraiI
correspondent telcgraphing Friday
night says: The Russian doctor who
crossed with the first detachment Of
500, informs him that he does not be
licvc that Of all this number % arc

at ItZani, under date Of June -, saws
that on the night of the Doth instant
1000 infantry crossed at Benz, 300 in
front Of Galatz on the Dist, $500
crossed during the day with cannon,
and reinforccments afterwards arrived
at REM and GaIatz.

BOLIVAR METHODIST CHURCH.

We learn from the Rev. J. G. Ac-
ton that since he has taken the matter
in hand he has raised in money, MGR
chandisc and good subscriptions, some
thing over a thousand dollars for the
benefit of the Methodist church in
Bolivar. He has already handed over
several hundred dollars to Mr.. w. T.
Armistcad, Treasurer Of Board Of
Trustees, and with the amount that
has been and will be raised by the Rev.
r. V. Taylor and Others under the ten
dollar bond proposition the mem
bers and friends Of the church feel
perfectly confident that the last dollar
against the church will be Iiquidatcd
by the close of the conference year.
If the parties holding the claims will
just wait a time with patience they will
be certain to get their money. Mr.
Acton deserves great credit for the
efforts he has made without fear or re
ward in behalf Of this enterprise. He
expects in a few days to make another
trip to points he has not yet canvassed
and hopes to do something handsome
before he returns. The word failure
in this line does not belong to his vo-
cabularv.

HAYES AND THE APPEAL.
The President interviewed by Il South
CFn Colonel.

WASHINGTON, June 25.-Thc PrcSi-
dent, in an interview with Col. Kcat-
ing, editor Of the Memphis AppcaI,
said he was very anxious to visit the
South and meet in their homes the
leading men Of that section. He felt
satisfied that the spirit Of fraternity
was rapidly gaining strength. He
thought the people Of the South should
encourage immigration from the people
and entcrpising men Of the North.
The President was DESTROYS Of hearing
as to the progress Of education in the
South, particularly among the colored
people. He remembered when profes-
sors Of Obcrlin College, Ohio, who
went South to teach the negroes, wrote
back accounts Of inhoSpitable treat
ment in that section, but accounts from
them now were ola different character.
The President was exceedingly inter
CStcd in statistical statements concern
ing the education Of the colored pco-
pie. The President did not say when
he would visit the South. 1t Is thought
he will 90 as far as New Orleans
He has not been South since Il short
period after the war, when he went to
New Orleans in company with the As
Sistant Postmaster, General Markham,
and others.

TRADE EDUCATION.

The honorable Richard Vaux, the
experienced manager Of the East
Pennsylvania Pcnitentiary, lately madc
his report to the Legislature Of the
State, in which he says:
Il impIore YOU, gentlemen of the
Legislature, look to your statistics.
They show that our prison Is occupied
to Il very great extent by unappren-
ticcd convicts. OF all the Young men
under twenty-five years Of age admit
ted to the prison scvcnty-five per cent.
are without a trade and ninety per
cent. are educated. The State has
done 50 much for intelligent labor and
nothing for trade education. Some
thing should be done to make trade
education as dignifed rs intelligent
labor"
As Il student Of pcnology, Mr.. Vaux
pronomces a terrible satire upon the
education generaIIyreccivcd byyouths
Nine-tenths Of the young criminals
have had excellent common school adj
vantagcs, but they have never learned
to doan honest stroke Of work many par
ticular trade. This Is Il growing, wide
spread evil at this day, not only in the
East, but here in the South-right
. here in our midst.
/ We have educated youths in our
community, growing up without any
trade. They may have some little
money with which to keep themselves
respectable for a few years, but before
many years clapse they will have con
Sumed their substance and be left then
( to exc out an existence in Il doubtful
and prccarious way. 1t is very seldom
we hear Of youth learning a trade.
Many young men think that by wit and
marrying luck they can tide along
through life. This notion is Il fell
social contagion. 1t Is filling the
country with thriftlcss and shift
less tramps. 1t is filling bawdy
/ houses and barrooms with recruits. II

President Hayes has issued an
ukase forbidding federal officials and
employees taking any part in political
conventions, party caucusses, or meet
ings whatever. He requires them to
attend to the legitimate duties of their
respective offices. This will necessa-
rily put a stop to the. governmental
machinery being used for party pur-
poses. Under Grant this was colos-
sal evil. Glad that Mr.. HAYES has
the nerve to introduce a change in this
direction.
THE Russians have crossed the Dan
ube at one point and the Turks retired
in the direction Of the Balkan noun
tains. This movement of the Russians
Is an advance one before the full force
crosses. 1t Is believed that the Turks
will not risk general engagement in
open field, but will retire until the
Balkan mountains afford them a chance
to offer a hopeful resistance to Russian
invasion.
JUDGE Huron, who has charge of
the \. T. Stewart estate, has refused
the Jews admission to the Grand
Hotel, Saratoga. This opposition was
made in the case Of Joseph ScIigman,
a wealthy Jew banker of New York
City. Judge Hilton, in taking this
step, Is doing violence to the public
sentiment Of the country. The Jews
are among our most enlightened and
respected people.

GENERAL GORDON, OF BARTLETT,
On HAYES.

At the grand Narrow Gauge Railroad
iollifcation near Brownsville, June 81,
hcabovc-mentioned gentleman deliver
ed an eloquent address and during his
remarks he touched federal politics and
much to the discontinue of Major
Willo Haywood, of the Democrat, who
introduced him, the distinguished
speaker said:
He advised the people to be quiet
and cease abusing Hayes, as he had
done more since he had been in office
toward restoring local government and
lifting the yoke Of oppression from our
necks than Grant and johnson in
twelve years. He said that he was
gricvcd to see Mr.. Key so abused be
cause he had Il accepted office under
Hayes; that he thought Mr.. Key
could do rs much good in Hayes Cabi-
net in helping to reform the Govern
mcnt; that Hayes had been forced
into running the Government on Demo-
cratic principles, and as long as he con-
tinued to do right let him alone.
The fact Is, Gen. Gordon but echoes
the voice of the Southern Democracy
in its estimate Of Mr.. Hayes PrcSi-
dental course.
