ever reached by lot of prospective judges in
Texas. The truth is these nominations were
made with the sole view of balancing the
ticket-they were the stone that the old bour-

The Oid-Stylr Process Of Cow. Ing
Sinners to God

The O'd-stylc Process of Covering
Sinners to God
Evan ,elist Barnes at Dayton
was brought up to admire Andrew lack
son-his pluck and brain power-and l was
attracted by An account given of his CONVEX
sion. The old General, very sick, began to
think of eternity and to ponder over his sins;
and he didn't have far to 20 to find sins
enough to make him miserable, for he had
been duelist and terrible blasphemer, and
great sinner generally. SO he sent for Dr.
b.. an excellent man-an l.. l.. ID. very like
ly--but he had been raised ON the diabolica
system Of theology that we all have had, and
he. thus began: General, do you feer'-

that you are An awful sinner in the sight o.

''Oh, yes; ! am resolved to quit, and to be-
gin new hte," aud the General said it witt
an air of pluck that meant business, as much
SO as when he fought the Indians, or vetoed
the United States Bank, or performed any
other ii. Cislve act.
care ", willing to connect yourself with
the visible church, and cast your lot with
Gods people,"
''les, sir; I've made up my mind to that. "
''Iieneral, do you forgive all your enc
mies?'
A silence followed.
"No, sir, don't; cannot do that.
"But don't you think you could bring your
mind to it?'
mo, some of them might forgive, if they'd
keep out of my sight, but Others are abomina-
bly, mean, and can't forgive them"
DR.. Z. stated that he could give the Gen
eral no hope while in such frame of mind,
and requesting the sick man to pray over ii
he left 10 partake Of a supper of fried chicken,
wattl.s tea and other creature comforts, and
then went to the sleep of the just, while the
poor sin-stricken General tossed all night in
physical and mental agony. Next morning
DIR. f. called again, repeating the question,
and the sick man jerked out: Eyes, SIR"
and it was a lie. He tried to feel forgivng-

with all truth. for that is just what happened.
just let Jesus save me, and it was theology
SO beautiful and simple that the d. D.'s over
looked it.
They are getting a glimpse of the easy way
of salvation in these latter days. The food
has been placed SO high that but few sheep
could ever taste its richness. And God help
the lambs; they never get a morsel. The
quality Of the Christian life must ever be kept
steadily in the range OF the Christians vision.
There is love, and perfect 1--we life; and life,
more abundant, there is being sealed by the
spirit, and all the family children; but the
thing is to be good children.

OSCAR WILDE'S LECTURE.
How lie Looked and What fe said in Ne
York Last night.

How lie Looked and What fie said in New
York Last night.
Dispatch to the Times.
The triumph of the apostle of aesthetic
art is complete. Chickcring hall was
never packed with moro fashionable au-
dlence. Early this morning the tickets
were all sold. and during the day they
have changed hands 1T double and even
treble prices. OF course, most people
went from curiosity. The cream of high
toned society was present. Rev. Henry
Ward Beccher occupied front seat. Mr..
Wilde was greeted with deatening ap
plause. He wore Z: very wide and low
collar. !. conspicuous diamond on his
bosom, I. swallow tailed coat, close fitting
knee breechcs with buckles, long black
stockings and patent leather shoes with
out heels. His long, thick black hair is
parted in the middle and ovcrhangs his
coat collar. On his large hands were
pearl colored kid gloves. He read closely
from his manuscript, in a somewhat mo-
notonous yet very musical voice.
The lecture was graceful plea for the
beautiful in art and the refined in poetry,
as expressed in the present English re
naissance. He declared this renaissance
to be the new birth of art in the desire for
a more gracious and. comeiy way of life
The desire for perfection is the basis for
this revelation. We are largely indebted
to the poet Keats for it. Byron was a
rebel, Shelley was a dreamer, but Keats
realized the reality Of beauty. Nine tenths
of the British public define ;e stheticism as
the French for alfcctatiOn and the German
for dado. The pre- Rapiaeltism of
to day had its origin in the work of a few
young men, painters, poets and sculptors,
who met in 1859, in London to discuss
art. They reused the Spirit of British
Philistincs, who became cruelty sarcastic
at their expense. The British public, with
overwhelming spirit Of commerce, has
almost killed art and quenclcd poetry.
This restless modern spirit of ours is not
receptive enough Of tie spirit of true art.
Tho Orient has always been true to the
spirit of art Mr. Wilde discussed the
spirit Of criticism. Its place in our cul-
ture is, first, for the critic to be able to
hold his tongue second, to teach the
people the spirit in which they are to ap-
prcciatc artistic work third, to teach rev.
erence for beauty.
He was wildly cheercd when he ex-
planned why the aesthetics select the lily
and the sunflOwer us their pet floral en-
blems. These two lovely flowers are the
most perfect models Of design-in the
grandly leonine beauty Of one and the cx-
quisitc dclicacy of the other. Mr.. Wilde's
allusion to the attempt to caricature
;csthcticism in the play Patience was
received with good-humored applause.
"Iou have heard Patience for three
hundred nights ; You can listen to me for
at least one" Mr.. Wilde will go to Phil
adclphia next Monday.
