Thursday. July a. 1885.

ONE OF the temporarily interesting
young men of this country is likely to
be Mr.. Dick Harlan, the obese pro-
geny Of Mr.. Justice Harlan, of the
United States supreme bench. The
young man has just been started off
in the Christian ministry by the con-
secrating hand of the Rev, DR.. Sun
derland, of Washington, D. c., and a
correspondent Of the Baltimore Her
aid makes this reference to the event:
Young Harlan is tall, broad and
handsome, like his father, who is the
Adonis OF the supreme bench despite
his superlative Burgundy complexion,
which every Keutuckian comes hon.
estly by. Harlan fills decided to be-
come a Presbyterian clergyman while
student under DR.. McCOsh, of
Priu ceton. He said: II am going
into the MINISTRY just as any young
fellow would go into law, medicine or
business. look well In broadcleth,
speak well, have a good big body,
enough voice, and possibly some
brains. I shall get asgood salary,
move in agreeable society, and make
a respectable name for myself. /
think these are good, honest motives
for going into the pulpit. If they are
not, then I'll come down again quick
enough"
1t will be interesting to watch the
effect of a ministry of the gospel
undertaken from motives of this
character, which are frankly owned
at the outset. 1t Is to he presumed
that young Harlan has at least been
converted" to some form of Chris
tianity, but he claims no 'calln to
preach except personal similarity to
some preachers upon whom he ass
sumes that the mantle of success has
fallen. 1t remains to be seen, now,
how much outstanding power there
is in "a fat bodyn-with possibly
some brains remotely connected with
it somewhere, and broadcloth clothes
which fit the body well because it Is
essentially "tailor's delight" And
perhaps the result may furnish some
intimation as to the number of Others
of modern gospel ministers whose
calls to preach rest upon the purely
business platform upon which Dick
Harlan has planted his sanctified feet
and upon which he expects to disport
his well-dressed fairness.

still in Jail, and she is urging that her
case be brought to trial. Mrs. Dudley
has not had much popular sympathy,
on account Of her unsatisfactory
craftsmanship which she displayed
in her affair with Rosa, but she is
unquestioDably entitled to trial. This
has SO far been unjustly denied, and
her plea for a hearing is beginning to
attract public attention.
