Il Four Yenr-Ol1 Negro Prodigy Appn,.-
entity Inspired to Ecpound the Scrip
lures.
Louisville Courier-Journal.
There is now in Louisville negress who
is a perfect child wonder. She is scriptural
marvel. She does not even know her letters,
yet she can quote accurately almost any pas
sage in the bible.
At the age of nine months she could talk,
and would frequently tell her mother what
Der idea of heaven was. AS she grew older
she would sit for hours and expatiate on the
beauties and glories of the other world. The
old colored folks would listen to her sayings
for hours.
At the age of three years she began to lee
ture on heaven, its wonders, or God and his
omnipotent power. She has lectured in
many places, and has created furore every
place she has yet visited. The prodigy lee
tured at the York-street colored church yes
terday afternoon, and at night spoke to a
large crowd at the Green-street colored
church. Her speech was good, and her de-
livery impressive.
A reporter of the Courier-J Journal inter
rogated her last night. -

of God.''
"What do you talk about when you speak
to crowd?''
81 talk about Jesus, about heavenly
things, about how Jesus died and was cruel
fed; how he rose again in three days and
stitch on the right hand of God.''
"Can you spell?''
''No, sir; don't know my A, B, C's yet.'
She then went on in rapturous strain
about things biblical and spiritual, complete
ly nonplusing the reporter.
She was accompanied by two colored men
They talked in an enthusiastic manner
about her. She said in her conversation
that she believed in two kinds of baptisms
She spoke of the different modes of saliva
ton; how to reach paradise; how to be con.
verified from bad man to a good one, etc
Her sayings were original, and were moi
spoken in hesitating voice, but in quick
keen and forcible manner. AS young as
she is, negress, without education in the
principles she sets forth, her power partakes
strongly of the marvellous.

TIE FATE OF TUE BANKS Sealed
Obdurate and -opinionated as John
Sherman is, he is yet able to discern the
tendency of events now in progress. He
has long been the avowed friend and patron
of the national banks, and in the only
speech he has made during the present cam
paign he devoted the whole force of his ar
gument towards demonstrating that instead
of being curse they are blessing that
they pay a fair share of the burdens of tax
alton, and give to the people better and
safer currency than could be furnished under
any other system. He has, however, seen
the handwriting on the wall, and realizes
that the national banks must go. Abiding to
the fact that several of the leading newspapers
of New York are decidedly opposed to the
abolition of the national banks, he is re-
ported to have said recently:
ALI that have to say that subject is
this That if the national banks ever raise
the issue as between themselves and green
banks, the fate of the banks is sealed.''
For once Mr.. Sherman is right in his
conclusions, but he overlooks the fact that
the issue has been raised-not, it is true, by
the banks against the greenbacks, but by the
greenbacks, represented by the whole Amer
lean people, against the banks. The fate of
| the banks, however, is sealed as effectually
as If they had assumed the aggressive in
the controversy. Democratic speakers and
Democratic newspapers are keeping the
facts before the people that there is no good
reason for the existence of the national
banks; that they draw from the public
treasury or withhold from it in taxes right
fully due the enormous sum of eighteen
millions Of dollars; that while the security
for the redemption of their currency notes
Is ample, it is only second hand pledge OF
endorsement of the government, and that
the original pledge of the government
given in the form of the greenback, is fa1
preferable. The people are beginning to
understand that the greenback is to be hon
ored by the government that issues it, and
Will be received as the equivalent of gold and
silver in payment of all Dues but that the
national bank note cannot acquire that
quality, SO essential to currency in the trans
action of business between the people. The
| currency of the future must be invariable in
value, receivable by the government and the
| individual alike, by the bondholder and the
farmer, the capitalist and the laborer, in
liquidation of debts of whatever nature.
Such currency the greenback can be made
by the plan advocated by the Democratic
party. 1t is the only kind of currency with
which the people will be satisfied. They
have made the issue, and in the words OF
Sherman, "the fate of the banks is sealed u

The Pirate Sherman, through his brother
in-law, who is at present in Washington, and
who, it is presumed, has been taken into his
confidence, announces that he is tired of
public life and would be glad to retire from
his twenty five years of continuous service if
the specie resumption question was only set
tied. We hasten to inform Mr.. Sherman
that he needn't wait for the settlement of
the specie resumption question. He has
fairly earned rest, and although it may
pain us greatly to parJ with him, he owes it
as duly both to himself and his country to
retire. We will try to settle the cur
lency question without his aid. Ta-ta,
Johnny. You needn't stand upon the order
of your going, but 60 at once. Git!

"a REPUBLICAN club in one of the interior
towns of Illinois makes standing offer of one
hundred dollars to any speaker who will adj
dress them for one hour and make no allusion
togreenbacks, fiat money" silver craze
any form or shape.-Chicago Tribune.
A very candid admission that the discus
cussion of the currency question is proving
disastrous to Republican interests. The
truth of the matter is that the "Republican
idee'' is indefensible, and can't stand dis
cussion, and we presume the Republican
party would give many times one hundred
dollars to prevent public speakers all over
the country from exposing the fallacies OF
their doctrine. It is no wonder, considering
the results, that they are disguised with the
debates.

The quiet little town of Hamilton, ILL.,.
which is connected with Keokuk by the
bridge spanning the Mississippi at this
point, is the scene of horrible and shame
full affair which has shaken the community
to its centre. The details of the affair are
most horrible, and show sister, a girl Ia
years of age, ruined by her brother, who is
the father of child the girl gave birth to
night before last. The tale shows how a
mother attempted to cut her daughter
throat, and how she was caught in the ACT
and severely beaten by the father. The
horrible affair also includes the murder of
the innocent babe, and will probably be
concluded in the penitentiary. The details
of the terrible crime, as told to our reporter
by citizen of Hamilton, are as follows:
It appears that on Monday Miss Mary M
Meford, daughter of old man Mefford, OF
Hamilton, gave birth to child. The cir

that she frequently asserted that her brother

STRAIT UNMASKED,

The testimony developed yesterday by the
Insane Asylum Investigating committe,
shows up Horace B. Strait in his true char
acter. 1t appears that upon one of his
official visits to St. Peter he took the Rev.
G. T. Coer, of Shakopee, with him. The
reverend gentleman testifes that they were
lodged and entertained at the Asylum without
a cent of expense to them personally. That
he (Coer) only expended $1.70 for ticket
which was the half fare rate allowed to
clergyrnen. Strait generously handed him
two dollars, as he said the State had to pay
for it. The only expense which Strait could
possit ly have incurred would have been
$1.70, full fare), railroad fare each way a
total of $3.4O. Add to this the two dollars
which he handed Mr.. Coer and the total ex-
pense was $5.4O. He rendered bill to the
State of $3.50 for this trip and collected it,
