Louisville Items.

On Thursday, when Rev. Leberman
returned from church he was surprised
at the crowd of people who desired to
dine with him. They, however, did not
"eat him out Of house and home" as
each one provided towards having a
bOunt tiful dinner at which about one
hundred participated. "And they did
eat and were all filled, and there was
| taken up of fragments that remained to
them twelve baskets" They then repair
| ed to the Reformed Church, adjacent
to the parsonage, where the reverend
and lady were presented with some use
full and valuable tokens of respect from
his congregation and many other
| friends. In the evening surprise num-
Der was given them, in the shape of a
pound party" by the young people and
| those that could not attend during the
day. Prof. ]. NJ Kerstetter made the
presentation speech, cOngratulating
him in behalf of the assembled friends
that this was his thirty-fifth birthday
anniversary. Among those presents
was a pound of silver coins which
the reverend received with q
short and very appropriate response,
comparing the refined metal to the re-
| fining of our souls. Before departing he
received thirty-dVe solid pounds Sqnarly
on the back which would not soon be
forgotten. The value of the total num-
Der Of presents would approximate one
hundred, dollars. Rev. Leberman has
been with us eleven years, and this
shows the high esteem in which he is
held, not only by his congregations. but
by all.
The choral class meets on Wednesday
evenings. alternately in the o. B. and
Reformed churches. under the leader
shin of o. W. SlusSar and Dr. j. p Shil-
ling, vino teach the Tudiments aslwell
as the advanced lessons in vocal music.
Rev. GrOh, of New Lisbon, preached
the union Thanksgiving sermon in the
U. B. church in the morning, and in the
Reformed church in the evening. All
who had the pleasure of hearing him
will be glad to learn that he will return
next week to assist Rev. Leberman in
his series of meetings.

rALMAaE,s SERMON.
OoNrIsUnD TAOM rHE yrasr FAaE,

Small ropes hold mighty destinies. A
minister, seated in Boston at his table,
lacking a word, puts his hand behind
his head and tiIts Iack his chair to think,
and the ceiling falls and erushes the
table, and would have crushed him. A
minister in Jamaica at night, by the
light of an insect called the candlet1y, is
kept from stepping over preelpiee a
hundred feet. f. w. Robertson, the cele-
brated English clergyman, said that he
entered the ministry from a train Of
circumstances started by the barking OF
dog. Nothing unimpOrtant in your
life or mine. Three Oughts placed on
the right side of the figure one make
1000, and elk oughts on the right side
of the figure one make 100000, and our
nOthingness placed on the right side
may be augmentation illimitable. All
the ages of time and eternity affected
by the basket let down from Damas-
Gus balcony.

Mrs. Langtry.

There is probably no artistic now tread
ing the boards of the dramatic stage,
who has called forth such varied and
widespread criticism as has the lady
who will in few fays present herself,
for public favor in our midst.
That the extraordinary interest
shown by the public in Mrs. Langtry's
debut as professional actress was due
in the first instance, to the prominent
position she occupied as leader of fash
ion, and her reputation as recognized
beauty it would be absurd to deny, but
she cannot, in common fairness, be held
accountable because the Judgment
which cha allenged as an actress has been
most unfairly diverted into criticisms
on her personal appearance.
Mrs. Langtry now presents herself be-
for our public as an earnest and enthu-
siastic student of dramatic art. She
has spared no pains to fit herself for the
profession she has adopted. She has
brought together company OF English
artists which, as whole, she believes
has never been excelled on this conti-
nent, as she has spent very large sum
of money in furnishing them and her
self with the most artistic and complete
costumes which taste and skill could
devise, so that the play which she pre-
sents may be given with every possible
accessory to ensure their success.
These are the grounds in which she ap-
peals to the public for approval and
support" merely these and nothing
MORE"
If her looks pleases her audience she
will of course be gratihed, but she de
MES that her claims for public recOgni-
tiOn as an actress have ever been based
upon che mere question of her personal
appearance.
The stage is under the direction OF
Mr., ThOs. COe for 80 years in like posi-
ton at Haymarket Theatre, London.
