Cairo. Admiral Foote was a thorough
Christian gentleman and an excellent i'm

after the congregation had assemb blsd,

Upon this text, he delivered what was de-
declared to be an excellent sermon, or ex.

congregation. An account Of the sermon
was widely published in the papers at the
time, and came into the hands OF the little
niece just referred to. After she had read
it, she exclaimed to her father:

SHAWNEE VILLAGE, Aug. 81, 1885.
EDITOR TIMEs-Dear Sir: 1t is
with the most profound pleasure !
write few lines to the voters of
Mississippi county, Ark, not as
candidate, but merely to let them
know that this is not the candidates
year. My friend, DR.. II. e. Duna-
want, seems to think IN the times Of
peace that we should prepare for
war, is a maxim that should be en-
graved upon the memory OF every
democratic voter of Mississippi coun-
ty. In answer to his card, allow me
to say, in the heat of our struggle,
and in the storm o! passion that im-
mediately followed the war, much
was said and done to embitter the
hearts and feelings of men upon both
sides; but now that the clouds of war
have rolled away and we stand in
the calm, clear sunlight of peace, we
should study to promote the best IN
terests of the whole country without
passion and without prejudice. lie
SAYS in his card the color line was
drawn and the republican was bad
lly defeated. Gentlemen of Missis-
sippi county, against these conclu-
sions there is but one argument,
which, when considered, is nothing
but a prejudice, as little rational as
what Shylock first calls his 'humor,
and then "lodged hate and certain
loathing," making him seek the
pound of flesh from near the mer-
chants heart. The prejudice of color
pursues its victim in its long pilgri-
mage from the cradle to the grave;
but understand that | intend to deem
no man in any age gentle for his
lineage, though he be not highly
born, he is gentle if he doeth what q.
'longeth to gentleman. Mr.. Edit
tor, if in your judgement you think
this is not the correct answer con
cerning the card written August 2t
1856, YOU can convey this sheet to
the waste basket. l am yours,
