The Parks Hill Campaigning.

About 1000 persons attended the camp
meeting Sunday, coming in on special trains
from COvingtOn, Lexington, Stanford and
Maysville. The day was dry, dusty, cool and
peculiar. DR.. West, of Nashville, preached
one hour and twenty-five minutes in the
morning, which pleased us very well, be-
cause we didn't have to hear it; and we
think If he had cut it Just one hour shorter,
it would have pleased the 1900 in the audi
forum better.
DR.. Hannah, also of Nashville, studied the
comforts of his audience closer, and preached
a shorter sermon in the afternoon.
The assembly at the camp though large,
was orderly to a pleasurable extreme, and
showed up less of that detestable dude and
dudine dash, gewgaw apparel and gum
chewing frivolity than in years gone by
Everybody appeared to be en- the big behave
but q few dudes on the thains who had to
have their annual shOw-of of idiocy This
show-off will take place, though the heavens
wabble and threaten to go crooked.
On account of the Rev, Dewitt Talmage
who breaches to-day and tomorrow, TIE
crowd will be large, and of select people
minus the dude and dudine clement. The
old, settled and well-behaved middle-aged
public will cOngregate in large numbers to
hear this eminent divine-many for his
sterling worth, and many through morbid
curiosity. The eminent visitor will give the
camp fame far away, and will attract
strangers from all sections within strik-
ing distance.

ND their relationship with the host. On
circus day the bunkoed an old miser named
Stewart, out of $500, and gave him back
$3.50 of 1t to keep quiet. Of course, they es-

common use in Cuba-only, instead OF
sitting up in it, you lie down. It has
two large wheels, and the body of the
concern is placed directly over the axle,
suspended upon high, very elastic
springs. The shafts are very long, and
a framework projects behind, upon
which trunks may be secured, and from
which the body of the vehicle is sus-
pended at that end. It has covered
canvas top, with curtains and bottom
of interlaced rope. Upon this springy
support is placed mattress. 1t is al

shafts and one on either side-harnessed
in by such combination of leather and
rope that no stranger could by any pos
sibility disentangle them. These mules
are generally very small, but make up
for this by generous length of ears,
which are carried along their backs.
Speaking of ears, friend of mine
travelling here told me that he once had
a mule with very fine ears, SO long that
they met behind his back. They were
continually in his way, as the mule

well as veracious, he couldn't stand this
sort of thing every day, so what did he
do? Well, he thought over it while,
and then hit upon plan. He inoenlat-
ed one of the mules ears with want,
and then by cutting slit in the other
he had natural button and button-hole,
by means of which he buttoned the ears
together under his mules tail This
was pleasant for while-for my friend
but he soon saw his mistake. That
wart kept growing, and he had to extend
the button-hole to keep pace with it IN
til those ears were hardly anything else
but wart and button-hole.
Another ncomfortable thing about it
was that, when the mule wanted to wag-
gle his ears-for mule is so constituted
that he must wag a certain number {:
times day or die-he had to dismount
tie the animal to tree and pry the ears
apart with button hook. I asked lila
how much the ears measured, and lie
said he didn't know, but the mule hal
caused him to measure his length :"

H4STY JUDGMENT.

Nothing is more unjust than to Judge
of man by too short an acquaintance,
and too slight inspection; for it often
happens that in the loose and thought,
less and dissipated there is a secret radi-
cal worth, which may shoot out by
proper cultivation; that the spark OF
heaven, though dimmed and INSTRUCTED,
is yet not extinguished, but may, by the
breath of counsel and exhortation, be
kindled into flame. To imagine that
every one who is not completely good is
irrevocably abandoned, is to suppose
that all are capable of the same degree
Of excellence. 1t is, indeed, to exact
from all that perfection which none can
ever attain. And, since the purest viz
tue is consistent with some vice, and the
virtue of the greatest number with al
most an equal proportion of contrary
qualities, let none too hastily conclude
that all goodness is lost, though it may
for time be clouded and overwhelmed,
for most minds are the slaves of external
circumstances and conform to any hand
that undertakes to mold them, roll down
any torrent of custom in which they
happen to be caught, or bend to any
importantly that bears hard against
them. -SdnateL johnson.

YOUNG VOICES.

There is a charm, an inspiration. in
the blending of young voices in sacred
song which nothing else can impart. We
owe it to our children, to ourselves and
to the dignity of worship, that an ele-
ment SO thrilling, SO effective, should
not be lost to the church for want of
training.
The teaching of music in the schools
In great measure prepares for partici-
patton in the church and Sunday-school
services. Perhaps the most forcible OBJ
lection to that form of worship in which
the people participate is that the
American people are not trained to sing.
Let vocal music be taught, in its in
tegrity, in the public schools, and our
choir and congregational singing must
become as grand and universal as now
in Holland and Germany, where music
forms an integral portion of education.
What is done in these countries, with
means far inferior to those at our COM
mand, may be done and better done
here, by liberal and enlightened sys.

ARUSE OE PERLIC MEN.

The people of free countries ought to
be particularly considerate of the repu-
tation Of public men who are faithful to
their trusts. Such men are the peoples
servants, whom they have chosen, and
who are doing their work. If these men
so astray or prove incompetent, the dis
honor rests upon those who chose them,
and it is certain that the PEOPLE must
defray the cost Of their misdeeds.
In private life man is not respected
who abuses his clerks, and has 10 regard
for their regulations or their characters
We say that he is Il scurvy fellow; that
he lacks some Of the qualities that are
esse4tial in a good business man. We
are not surprised when his clerks prove
unfaithful, OF lie proves unsuccessful,
through poor judgment in his business
undertakings.
The same principle, in degree, APP
plies TO public men. We who selected
them, who pay them, who are response
bic for them, are bound TO give them the
fairest chance to do well. We are fool
ISL il we donot We are like man who
should pay large sum for horse, and
then give him unhealthy food, or lame
his fore feet.
Next to the man who ill-treats wonn-
an, we desplsa the American citizen who
treats public man with personal dis
respect, for mere party reasons. Why
do we so universally abhor man who
abuses a woman Because a ran is
physically stronger than woman, and,
ordinarily, she cannot defend herself.
No more can a President, or a Cabinet
Minister, or most public officials. Ell
quette commonly closes their mouths
against the most brutal calumny. They
stand as public targets, open to the shot
of every passer-by who has malice in his
heart.
Mind, we are now speaking of per-
sonal abuse only. Let there be the
frankest and strongest criticism of pub
lie men as public men. If their meas
ures are unwise or ill-timed, let the fact
be stated with all needful emphasis and
iteration. If there is good reason for
thinking them corrupt their conduct
should be probed and investigated. But
while public man is apparently trying
conscientiously to do his duty every good
citizen should regard an abusive person.
