Quite Lively.

The following quite lively discussion
took place before meeting of Baptist
ministers in New York:
DR.. Tenbroeck drew out lively dis
cussion in meeting Of the Baptist min
listers, by reading an essay on the Roman
Catholic Church. He held that the
Church of Rome would be- influenced not

tho hearts of the people and tho Roman
Catholic idea Of Imperialism, not repub'
licanism in religious affairs.
Brother Heddsn astonished the assem-
blage by saying: II don't believe true
reform begins with Baptists and ends
with them" He found much good 10
the Roman Catholic Church.
Brother Holmes vehemently exclaimed:
II long ago stopped talking against Ro-
man Catholics. l don't condemn them.
They have great deal Of Gods truths
in them and with them"
Brother Taylor thought the true Chris
tan Church had stood out against Rome
ever since the days of the apostles, and
the Roman Catholic, instead of being the
mother church, was an offshoot from the
true Christians.
Brother Sampson said the Pope wa
losing control of the Church, and is hes
ing regarded as merely the moral head Of
the institution.
A voice. "Pope Plus was a grand old
hero l admire him.
Brother Rhodes said there must be a
reformed Catholic Church, like the re-
formed Episcopal
Brother Fox made an earnest appeal
in behalf of what he termed the good
people who embraced the Roman Catho
tic faith. He had known priests and
members of the Roman Catholic Church
who were just as good and did just as
much for the cause of Christianity as
any Protestant clergyman had ever done
Catholics were noted for going about do
inc good. Their charitable works were
proverbial.
Brother Reed read q quotation from
the seventeenth chapter Of Revelations,
which he thought plainly foretold tho
downfall of the Roman Catholic Church.
A voice: "A Catholic said in q Sun-
1ay school the other day that all Protes.

Perfectly True.
(ShrevepOrt Times.)

Senators Lamar and Hill are no doubt
great men-very great men ; but they
have an unfortunate habit Of regarding
unfavorably almost every measure that
other senators aud people regard as pc
culiarly Of interest to the South. A fresh
evidence of this is furnished in their vote
on the appropriation bill in regard to the
mail line between New Orleans and
South America. No doubt but the geu-
tlemeu are colscientious-very conscleu-
tious; but it occurs to us that this con-
scientiousness is much better adapted to
a more Northern latitude. Each might
leave his state for his states good, seek u
more congenial location in New England,
and permit Mississippi and Georgia to
select senators with consciences more
warmed by . southern sun than theirs
seems to have been.

Those VITO have placed themselves
in antagonism with the press OF this
State, and then attempt to extricate
themselves from the difficulty by ridi-
cule aud assumed Indifference, are
only acting the part Of the timid boy,
who whistles while passing grave
yard to keep his courage up.
The politicians of Louisiana are
terrably chagrined at the unan'mity of
the press in maintaining its DIGNITY
and independence 10 advocating the
cause Of the people, and are atten'p-
ing to raise the false alarm that the
press is dividing the party. The press
is not dividing the party, but it is as

The Turks have at last consented
to give up to Russia the fortresses of
Shumia. Varna, and Batoum, con.
corning which there has been so much
dispute. This step is said to have
been taken on the representation of
Osman Pasha that the army around
Constantiuopie was not sufficient for
it's defence. If Osmau is really in re-
ceipt Of a pension Of $4,000 roubles a
year from Russia, his advice cannot
be worth much, except to bis newly
found friends.

The Minden Democrat thus puts a
head on those Conservative newsp pa
pers that defend the Legislature on
every point except their own intrests !:
Yes it was as MEAN as Gar Broth"
but it is as nothing compared with
their acts towards the people to whom
they had promised 50 much and done
so little. You are an apologists for
them 81 far, but when they touch
your individual pocket, you give 'em
hill. That's right! That's your

Our Trip 10 the Mountain City
Country.

Having received invitations to at.
tend the picnic near Mountain City on
last Saturday, and wishing to extend
our acquaintance with that delectable
region and its people, we concluded to
90. Our company consisted of our
genial and popular county clerk, Ed.
j. L. Green. and our gallant young
friend Geo. T. Malone, Of THE Cheap
Store" We started early in Mr..
Green's easy going hack, drawn by
Col. Herudon's fine roam horse. The
day was beautiful, and we reached the
Blanco without any more exciting ad-
venture than the crossing of very
ugly mudhole.
As we proceeded we had occasion, as
oft before when on this route, to ad-
inire the vast stretches of magnificent
country, whose charms steadily in
crease as you advance till they culmi-
nate about Mountain City. This place,
Iii our correspondent Alexis sug-
gests, is not so remarkable as a town,
as for being the center Of so grand a
scope OF fine county, occupied by
communities of so excellent charac-
Tor In fact. but for the post Office"
located in the handsome business
house in front of the still haudsomer
residence and grounds of Mr.. Young,
the postmaster-who we should think
must be doing an excellent business
the traveller might fail, on a casual
glance, to realize that he was Tin town"
at all; another business house, a
blacksmith shop, Il church and school
house combined (uot of the latest and
finest style of arthitecture) ard seve-
raj nice and inviting private residences
constituting pretty much all that is to
be seen except the incomparably beau
titul cultivated lands extending as far
as the eye can reach on either hand.
We forgot to say that on nearing
Mountain City we were glad to note
the disappearance of the low doggery
and gambling hell which formerly
stood in the edge of thicket short
distance this side, and was known by
the name of Chicago"
Some two miles off the main road
we came to the picnic grounds. The
place is styled Round Bottom" and
lies on Onion creek or one of its tribu
taries. Entering by steep rocky
yulch, we found delightful wooded
cove. we'll shaded and bedecked with
grass and flowers. A lovelier spot ma
lures ''eanny hand has scarcely
formed, even in West Texas. The
scenery is various. Among other
things wo noticed natural sofa Off
