The Preacher and the Cats.
(BY OUR AGRICULTURAL EDIToR.)

We visited the old home 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 regular sumner.
He was none of your namby-pamby-
milk-and-water-too- good for-this-vale-
of.tears preachers. But downright
hitter; full of nineteenth century sense,
running over with ideas and gifted
with rare grace in action and brilliancy
in oratory. In short, he was just one
of those men who succeed in anything
recurring language and what may be
termed dramatic action. His subject
was about that little unpleasantness
between David and Saul. He was
handling it superbly, and we shall al
ways regret the two episodes which
brought his really brilliant effort to an
untimely close. He was leading up to
one of those battles between David and
Saul, and doing the preliminary busi-
ness in graphic style when the first
episode occurred. We could almost
see the gallant slayer of the great
Goliath, with his devoted band OF fol-
lowers as they stealthily threaded the
mazes of the mountain fastnesses to
meet in deadly combat the resplen-
IDENTIFY wicked Saul and his armies.
The audience hung spellbound upon
the tide of language which flowed from
the preacher like lava from the throat
ofVesuvius. One could have heard a
pin drop. Throwing himself in a lis
tening attitude, the preacher exclaimed
with thrilling emphasis:
"Listen! What sounds are those
which break the stiffness of these sol
itudesP 1t is-it is the y
M cow! rowl mewl view! re-ow-
WOW! phish! phishP' suddenly
screamed chorus of cats outside.
The effect was electrical. Several
bretheren adjusted their neckties, and
many sisters found it necessary to use
their handkerchiefs for a hastily i'm
provished cold. The preacher, too
showed that ne appreciated the situa
ton, for the corners of his mouth
twitched as though he were repressins
C smile with difficulty. However, the
little ripple subsidized and the orato
went on. In about five minutes th'
good man tried another effect. Lean
ing forward With his right hand raise'
as if to still his audience and his LEI
hand pointing obliquely behind him
he exclaimed in o stage-whisper
"The battle wakes hot! They figh
to the DEATH But nethinks the It'd
is beginning to turn in favor of the so
of Jesse! What are those sounds rol
ing down the valley, swaying the en-
battled hosts? Is it vistory! All, ca
it be that the wicked Saul is to be III
done? Yes! 'Tis David's shout
victory coming down the wine
hark!"
"Me-ow! row re-ow phish phis
phish" again broke out in the yard.
The preacher gave it up. 1t was
use to go on. The congregation ju
couldn't stand it. Everybody gave I
trying to keep down the laughter, al
there occurred a broad guffaw rig
out in meeting. The minister call
for the long metre doxology and d
missed his feck.-RambLer.

The dedication of the church Of 81.
Benedict the MOoC marks the beginning Of
mOvoment on the part of tho Cath.
olic church to draw TO its fold the entire
African race on the continent. During tho
past fow years colOred Catholic churches
have been fouudeTed in the South and
West at Charleston, New Orleans, Wash
ington, Baltimore, Nashville, Louisville
and Leavenworth, all under the charge Of
Josephites, or London Brotherhood, who
devote themselves exclusively to the col.
ored race. Tho impressionablo nature Of
the African has made him an easy convert
to the Catholic church, and the growth OF
these Southern churches has been so re.
markable that the church of the United
States has taken up the work with vigor.
The church dedicated yesterday is the first
ono in tho north, but with tho large
colored population in other cities, the
foundation OF similar churches is expected
in n short timo. The location of St.
Benedict the Moor is most admirably
adapted to tho wants OF the colorcd Catho
lies of the city, now estimated to number
700, il being situated within q stones
throw of two thirds OF the entire co'oTed
population.
