temples and that even human bodies
have been inundated within the foun-
dation walls under the belief that the
spirit of the person sacrificed would
ever stand watch and protect the
building against evil influences and
men. "But, said he, ~, as your lead
er, consecrate here and convert
into living stones the good wishes and
actions Of my congregation" he
spoke touchingly of his predecessor,
who had projected such temple, but
died without seeing it erected. For
twelve years DR.. Samfeld said he had
ministered to the spiritual wants of
his people, and he had lived to ee
almost the fulfllment Of long deferred
hopes. The Jewish people had re-
deemed their promises and name, and it
was matter of congratulstion that
they had the full sympathy of the
Gentiles as evinced in the attendance
and the ceremonies of the day. The
learned doctor held the large and in
telligent audience in wrapt attention
to the last and his address produced a
profound impression. The music,
the Masonic ceremonies and
all the details were carried out
in excellent spirit and taste. And as
the sun slowly went down in the tree
tops beyond the Mississippi, the large
crowd, including tho best people Of
Memphis, regardless of creed, depart
ed home with enlarged ideas of life
and its duties and sanctities, and with
the best wishes and highest respect for
those of our fellow citizens who hope
soon to worship in the new temple.
Whilst DR.. Samfeld did not draw the
comparison, many who listened to his
earnest words could not help thinking
of the ancient temple projected by one
ruler end built by his successor in
Office,

Rev. Mr.. Long, in his sermon last
night, alluded to r.Ingersoll merely
asa leading type Of the intellectual
unbeliever. and made the point that
the dogmas and extreme orthodoxy OF
the churches are more than the INTEL
ligeut and investigating minds of the
present day can accept. Hence, out
siders go to the other extreme, and
become absolutely skeptical. 1t was
one of the strongest and most en-
phatic sermons he has ever preached
in this city. His morning sermon
was devoted to faith and works from
a rather advanced theological stand

Our genial friend, Judge Latham,
is out in another card. AS a card
writer he has "few superiors and no
equals" The quiet, level headed
stockholders could we'll afford to let
him resign and increase his salary
again. He has earned it by special
services. No man has better ca
pacity for keeping the public in
good humor, water or no water. Last
year the outcry was in regard to the
supply. This has been furnished.
There appears to be enough for all
purposes. Now the question is as to
quality. The President blandly ad-
mits that there should be an improve
ment and for the first time agrees to
consider Mississippi river water. He
will commence surveying, and thinks
that in two months, or three at least, ="
he can have estimates, bids, etc., in
hand. This is very comforting.
1t means that the whole matter will
20 over another year, more or less.
Now we have no earthly objection to
the stockholders making big profit,
but there is serious objection to muddy
Wolf river water. This need hardly
be emphasized. 1t is a matter in
regard to which there can be no diff
ference of opinion. Even Presi.
dent Latham, who has personally
recommended and defended the third
best has come out on the side OF the
people. He is about to demand for
the thousandth time an improvement
in the quality Of the water furnished,
| and the war he will make on his com :
pany will be terrific. Well, the Judge
is an awful clever man and we all like
him, but not the water he furnishes.
1t is all right for flushing q
sewer, but when q man washes
or bathes in it he wants to
shut his eyes and then finish of with a
bucket of water from the cistern. The
| gifted Judge desires an opportunity to
talk to his clients, the dear people. If
he gets chance, that settles it. He
will SO enlist their sympathies and
touch their hearts that they will not
speak Sf muddy water again in six
months. Really, II is difficult
to decide yhat We are
going to do about it. Everybody
is virtually compelled by law
to connect with the segeF system and
the water works system. The former
is public corporation; the latter is
private company, and sets its own
price. 1t ia easy enough to say you
need not tate tie yster if you don't
like IT," but then yoa haEe got " iike
it and to take it. No doubt there
will be a supply Of pure drinking
water sometime-when Memphis is
