An Image OF Deceased Preacher Set Up in
COlored Church.
From the Americas (Ga.) Recorder
A phase Of hero worship has developed,
or rather cropped out, among the negroes
Of q certain portion Of Lee county, which
is singularly peculiar and at the same
time very suggestive Of an interesting
chain of theological points. Lewis Bar
Der, colored preacher of the Baptist de-
nomination, had IN his charge member
ship numbering, perhaps, three thousand,
making up his four churches. He was a
typical specimen Of the negro clergy, and
welded almost an absolute power, body
and soul, over his large congregation.
''Bruddcr' BARRIERS word Was law and
gospel unto his followers, and none ever
dared to question his authority or dispute
his sway. Vehement, magnetic and pow
er1ul, one swing from his long arms and
a chant from his strangely musical voice
would set hundred sisters swaying their
bodies to and fro and as many brothers
keeping time to the weird rhythm with
beating feet; in awful interest the ser
mon would grow, q medley Of declama-
ton and recitative, until one wild, deaf
ening cry brings to climax the ecstatic
Joy IN shouts and frances and meanings.
Last summer, the preacher died and his
friends and followers refused to be CON-
forted. He was henored with burial rites
beyond precedent, and such a funeral
was indeed "sel<lom seen.'' The deeds
and memory left by the good pastor were
not sufficient for his members, and not
comforted with these they have set up a
sort Of craven image, so to speak, of
Barber, which is placed above the pulpit
Of his principal church. The image itself
is q work OF the crudest art, made of
white and black cotton cloth, stuffed
with straw and painted with charcoal.
To an unbiased critic it looks more like
q scarecrow set up to trighten hawks
than anything else; but devout men,
Der, informed the writer it was a very
striking likeness of the deceased. We
marveled somewhat at the strange thing
with another brother of this church, and
asked him its object. He gave Us to
understand it was remembrancer of the
beloved deceased, and said ''although
Brudder Barber is gone, we still has de
shape of him wild u.s."

method Of drilling inserted in his re-
Ylsed tactics, but the Law forbade him
doing so. He knew that 1t was a sim
PIE question whether 3 regiment or an
army should be slaughtered, scattered,
or captured; because the law eompels
every commander to consume double
the time actually requisite to make or

Col WorthingtoD has written a me-
mortal to Garfield, which closes as fol-
lows: THAT this system, first employed
by Napoleon, should be excluded by
Upton's, or in reality Grants Tactics,
is incomprehensible, unless upon the
ground that Grant was not willing that
any such a great commander should

SECRET OF UPToN's DEATH.-Gen.
Thomas Worthington, 'late colonel of
the 46th Ohio regiment" has IN idea
regarding Gen. Upton's suicide. His
idea, briefly expressed, is that Gen. Up
ton was impressed with the idea that
unless he was permitted to incorporate
the French drill into his army tactics
the latter would cause loss of life in
battle. This preyed upon his mind and
drove him to self-destruction.
"The French method of rifle drill
ing said Gen. Worthington, twas first
taught in this country by Gen. Scott, at
West Point, in 1926. 1t was not for
hidden, although excluded from Har-
dee's tactics of 1866, Casey's of 1862,
and Upton's of 1867, until the revision
of Upton's tactics of 1873, when it was
forbidden by law, Grant being then
president.
"If this method was so superior, why
did Grant consent TO its exclusionp
'It is unaccountable. Grant, gradu-
ating at West Point in 1874, must have
known the superiority of this method
over Upton's tactics. He knew that
at Shiloh the adoption of this method
in changing front, by the 10th Ohio,
prevented the capture or dispersion of
two great union armies under his COM
mand. He substantially admitted that
in his report of the battle.
T"What is the French method?"
at consists of the following COM
mands: First, change front forward
on first company; second, right face;
third, double quick, march. BY these
commands the 10th Ohio changed front
at Shiloh, in face Of the enemy, at q
kneel and a ready, sixty yards of, in
about n minute Of time-the regular
tactics requiring five minutes or more"
"How is all this connected with Gen.
