DR.. A. B. Cabaniss, the bold editor Of
the Western Recorder, gives some examples
to show the evils of stealing other mems
serm ons:-
Many years ago the Rev. j. B. Jeter, of
Richmond, Va, attended the North Caro-
lima Baptist State Convention at Raleigh.
A young preacher from a rural district
was in attendance. When foreign mis-
sions came up for discussion this young
brother arose . and made an eloquent
speech on The Moral Grandeur of the
Missionary Enterprise, with evident
satisfaction to himself. The doctor aud
this young brother chancad TO 90 to the
same house to dine with a number of others.
As no one made any ailusion to his speech
In his presence, he was anxious to learn
what was thought of it, and finally asked
DR.. Jeter's opinion. The doctor replied: n
think it was an excellent speech. The fact
is | have always admired it from the time
| heard old DR.. Wayland deliver it before
our triennial convention. | have just been
told that one Of the boys out here at Wake
Forest College recently declaimed it admir-
ably" The young brother WAS missed by
the company in short time and was not
seen in the convention any more during that
session. Ii he survived the explosion of the
doctors shell and is still alive, he no doubt
retains vivid recollection Of that event.

Mr.. Jenkins was the teller in the office 81
his father the then Treasurer, and was
also an aide de camp Of the Governor As
the Governors aide he was detailed to act
as paymaster, and in that capacity he re
ceived large amount of money. Some of
this lie had paid out under orders, but he
still had about $40 600 to his credit in bank
when an in junction was served on him pro-
hibiting him from making any payment of
the same until the further order OF the
court. That was very embarrassing to the
Governor, because the troops were still on
hand and had not been paid off, Mr.. Jen-
kins it seems was unwilling to disObey
directly the order Of the court In the
meantime, the pay rolls We're being made
out, and one bright Sunday it was whis
pered that an in junction would pro
badly be served on the banks prohibit
ting the payment by them of any money on
account of the soldiers. Something must
he done and that quickly So Mr.. jenkins
was in formed that his detail as paymaster
was revoked by the Governor, and that be
must pay over the money to Mr.. Neathery.
After much trouble he finally got about
S25 900 IN cash out of the banks, and a GER
tilted check for $4,000, and he and Mr..
Neathery had a settlement. Mr.. Neatherv
then took the money and hurried off to pay
the troops. Such was the Sunday evening
work by which the anticipated order of the
court was fanked 1t woud appear fl ON
testimony that Mr.. Jenkins was very du-
bious about the matter, and was rather
persuaded by the Governors attorneys
that the Injunction order did not forbid
him from paying over the money to his
successor He was young and naturally
trusted to the older heads of those who ad-
vised him. But 1t was a very bad scrape
even for young man to get into. Had he
consulted with lawyer who was not mixed
up in the affairs of Governor Holden, it is
probable he would not have been adj
vised. But the point to be made against
Mr. Jenkins is this, that Notwithstanding
that matter. and its termination, he would
not learn wisdom. His maturer Judgment
has not led him to see the errors of his
youthful days. They used him as an easy
instrument to accomplish their purposes IN
1870 How mach stronger would he prove
to be in 1880
If it was lawful and right and proper
that the money should be paid, why did he
hurry up so fast on that Sunday afternoon?
The question is does the Republican can
didate for Treasurer, who asks the people
now to entrust him with the handling of
their money to the amount OF two millions
of dollars, acknow edge that he was wrong IN
1870 to assist in putting $40, 600 OF the peo
pies money where the courts of the State
could not reach ita-Raleigh Observer.

to the effect that Hancock and Buxton clubs

HYDRoPHoBIA IN DOGs.-Sir Thomas
Watson has recently published on essay in
hydrophobia in dogs. from which itappears
that among the earliest symptoms of the
disorder is tendency of the eyes Of the af
ficted animal squint and to gIisten un-
naturally. The diseased dog continually
changes his position, gazes with APPARENT
suspicion on all who come near it, and fire.
quently licks some nart of its own body
upon which a scar will generally be found.
1t becomes capricious in it's eating and will
attempt to swallow all sorts Of incongrusus
things, such as bits or string, coal and straw.
AS the disease develops the creature grows
impatient of correction, is snappish and in
clined to bite, while saliva constantly flows
from it's mouth. The disease runs its course
in from four to eight days, and when its
presence is suspected the dog should at once
be securely isolated and watched, and in a
day or two killed if it is undoubtly rabid.
