SOUTHERN FIELD TRIALS.

tion next week, are likely to prove very
interesting to all who appreciate first-class
hunting dogs. For the Derby there will
be about thirty starters, and for the al
aged stakes somewhere near twenty five.
Among these entries are a number of those
that recently distinguished themselves at
High Point, N. @. 1t is probable there
will be large attendance of the leading
field hunters of the country. For the
Derby there are three prizes of $3.50 each
for the All-Aged stakes, three prizes OF
$3.50 each.
Entries for the Derby include the follow
ing:
W. B. Gates, Memphis, enters Nortier
and Tarquin.

ada Peg and several others.

the Agricultural Department. Speaking
of this department, learn that there rill
be 100000 copies of the Agricultural Re-
port published this year. The report will
be specially interesting; one OF it's features
will be an interesting article on truck
farming in the South. Mr.. Coleman thinks
there should be much more comprehen-
sive and complete system Of gardening in
The Southern States. SO that the cities in
the middle and northern latitudes may be
supplied earlier with vegetables. The
article in question is expected to lend an
impetus to this theory. FAX.

The alumni OF Hobart College, and
there must be many among the Episcopal
clergyman and layman at the South, should
do what they can In helping to restore the
buildings, and especially to replace the
very valuable library recently destroyed
by fire. Hobart is one of the oldest Epis-
coPal colleges in the country, and, we need
not say, one OF the best. 1t has been the
nursery Of great intellects whence the
ranks OF the ministry has been recruited
for many years. 1t therefore has claims
not only upon the alumni, but upon EpiE-
copalians everywhere, that should be
promptly and unstintedly acknowledged.

TEE report oi Commissioner Atkins has
met the general approval of the country.
a man OF lifetime experience IN public
affairs, it was to be expected that he
would offer some statesman like sugges-
tions looking TO the solution Of the Indian
problem, and he has. He insists that the In
dians shall abandon their tribal relations,
and agree to a division Of their lands in
severalty. The government should, how
ever, in order to protect them, retain the
right TO their lends in trust for twenty
five years, or longer, but issue trust patents
at once TO such Indians rs have taken in
dividual holdings. They must give up
their superstitioDs; they must forsake their
savage habits, and learn the arts of civili-
nation. They must learn to labor, and
must learn TO rear their families rs white
people do, and to know more of the obl-
cations TO the government and to society.
In word, they must learn to work for a
living, aud they must understand that it
is their interest and duty to send their
children to school. When the farm and the
school have become familiar institutions to
the Indians, and reasonable time has in
tervened for the q Isnsition from barbarism
or a semi-civilized state, to one Of civilizi-
ton, then will the Indian he prepared to
tase upon himself the higher and mora
responsible duties and priv leges which
appertain to American citizenship. To
accomplish this Congressional legislation
is needed, and it ought TO be had at an
early day. The Indian Territory, as part
of that legislation, and an impo. tant part,
should be opened TO white settlers, to
whom an opportunity should be offered
for permanent settlement. Congress would
do better to give it's attention to this work
ard enforce the practical suggestions of
Gen. Atkins by proper legislation than to
squabble over the rules with discredit-
able and disgraceful purpose to degrade
the ablest Democrat on the aoor of the
House.

Latest Phase of she Detroit Church
Troubles,

DETROIT, MICH, December 4.-The
latest action in the church troubles was
made public tonight. Bishop Bjrgers
promulgated a decree of intsrdiction
against st. Albert's Polish Catholic church
on account of the scandalous conduct of
the congregation in disturbing religious
services in the church and nearly precip-
itating bloodshed in front OF the holy edi-
fee. This decree shuts ont the entire con-
gsegation from all privileges of the church.
No masses can be observed, no children
baptized, no sacraments celebrated, and,
in fact, the church is outlawed. This de-
cree is very rare one, having been pro-
mulgated scarcely a dozen times during
the Christian era.

REVIVAL WORK AND WORKERS.

Revivalists who have fallen into or built up
the business of exciting religious connections
in apathetic communities are by no means a
product of this day and generation alone.
The marvellous success Of Moody and Sankey,
and lately of DR.. Munhall of this city, and
SIR. Samuel Jones, of Georgia, and DR. Barnes,
the mountain evangelist" of Kentucky,
has its parallel in the work of men of like
energy and devotion in the last generation
Among the first of these was John Newland
Maffit. Among the most noted and eccentric
was Elder Knapp, of the Baptist denomina
lion. There are but few in Indianapolis now
who remember him, for it is near forty years
on the southwest corner of Meridian and
Maryland streets. There may be some still
living who heard his quaint apprehension of
long prayers in one Of the sermons at that
time. His text was Peters imploration when
sinking in his attempt to go to Christ on the
water, Lord save me-" eff Peter had
started with one of the long prayers We hears so
often" said the Elder ''hed have been
fifty feet under water before he could have
asked to be saved" Elder Knapp" as he was
always called, spent the most of his time and
effort in the East, where he seems to have
commanded much the same interest, by much
the same qualities, as the recently famous
Georgia reyivalist, Rev Sam Jones. In the
early history of the Christian Church here
then oftener or always called the Disciples
church'-a reviyalist from Kentucky, usually
