The Preacher and the Cats,
Baltimore Rambler.

baltimore Rambler.
We visited the old homo on the
Eastern Shore last week. While
there we went to hear a talented
preacher whose eloquence had set the
country on fire. He proved a regular
sumner. He was none Of your nam by
pamby milk. and water too good tor.
this. vale. Of.tears preachers. But a
downright hitter; full of Nineteenth
century sense, running over with
ideas and gifted with rare grace il.
action aud brilliancy in oratOry, In
shert, he was just one OF those men
who succeed in anything requiring
language and what may be termed
dramatic action. His subject was
about that little unpleataulness be
tween David and Saul. He was
handling it superbly. and we shall
always regret tue TWO episodes which
brought ibis really brilliant tffort to
an Unumely close. lie was
leading up to one OF those battles be-
tween David and Saul, and doing the
preliminary business in grapic style
when the first episode occurred. We
could almost see the gallant slayer o.
tho great Goliath, with his devoted
band of followers as they stealthily
threaded the m4zes of the mountain
Businesses to meet in deadly combat
the resplendenty wicked Saul and his
armies. The audience hung spell
hound upon the tide of language which
flowed from the preacher like lava
from the throat of Vesuvius. One
could have heard a pin drop. Throw.
ing himself in a listening attitude,
the preacher exclaimed with thrilling
emphasis:
"ListenI What sounds are those
which break the stiffness of these soil
tudes2 Ii is-it is
Me ow! rOwl mewl WOW! re ow-
woWl phisbl" suddenly screamed a
GLORIOUS of cats outside.
The effect was electrical. Several
brethren adjusted their Reckties, and
many sisters found it necessary to use
their handkerchieis for a hastily
improvised cold. The preacher, too
showed that he appreciated the
situation, for the corners of his
mouth twitched as though he were
depressing a smile with difficulty.
However, the little ripple subsidized
and the orator went on. la about FIVE
minutes the good man tried another
effect. Leaning forward with his right
hand raised as if to still bis audience
and his left hand pointing obliquely
behind him, he exclaimed in a stage
whisper:
THE battle WAKES hot They fRht
to the DEATH But methinks the tide
is beginning to turn in favor of the son
of Jessel What are those sounds
rolling down the valley, swaying the
embattled hosts? Is it victory All,
can it be that the wicked Saul is to be
undone2 Yesl IT'S David's shout of
victory coming down the wind
"Me-owl rowl re.swl phish! phish!
phishl" again broke out in the yard.
The preacher gave it up. 1t was no
use to 90 on. The congregation Just
couldn't stand it. Everybody gave
up trying to keep down the laughter.
and there occurred loud gufFaw right
out in meeting. The minister called
for the long metre doxology and dis
missed his flock.

Speaker. Against Blackburn II
is ursed that his cleva ton would lose
unmberless votes to the parry in the
Norrb, aud against Carlisle that be ia
so cosely identified with the proposed
but impossible whisky legislation Of
this SESSION that he, too. would dams
age the party as Speaker. Free trade
men like Hurd, these friends of the
new candidate say, are dangerous 10
the party and should be passed rap
idly to the rear. This last proposi>
tio1 we most heartily iDdorse.
Mr.. Young, his friends say, has just
that combination of qualities, which
make him safer man than any of the
others.
We have no candidates in Advance
Of the regular nomination, but wish
simply to keep cur readers advised Of
