Mr.. Moody, the evangelist, who
was in Richmond, Va, Scnday. gave
a fiat denial TO the published report
Of his having several years ago spo-
ken sligatinSly of Gems. Robt. E. Lee
and Stouewall Jackson, in a sermon
delivered in the city of New York.
He SAID he could not understand how
such sentiment could have been
attributed to him, for he bad always
looked upon those two distinguished
sons Of the South as the highest
types of the Christian and soldier.
Mrs. Stouewall Jackson being in
Richmond, Mr.. Moody sent her word
he had never assailed her distin-
guished husband.

Onions Instead or Apples.

"You didn't know onions we're get
ting popular among fruit eaters, did
your" said an Eighth street fruit
dealer on Saturday
"No. Well, it's fact. You'd think
people would be disgusted with the
smell of a raw onion, but the fact is
many people like the odor, and ear
them with the same relish thew would
an apple. Whv," said the dealer,
when l first went into the business
nobody ever thought of such thing
as eating a raw onion and dealer
would no more have sold an onion
from a stand than to have retailed
potatoes. Nowadays We think nothing
Of having a man ask for nice, strong
onion and evsry dealer and every
fruit stand in town keeps them in
stock. Funny, amt it?
"And does the onion craze grow?"
Grow? Well, rather, Why, sir. if
I've sold one onion this mornig I've
sold dozen. They bring from two
to three cents apiece. ."-Philadelphia

According to Lamartine, "it is the
hardest thing in the world to do the
simple things in life and do them
right. Who can keep his temper?
Who knows how to control his appe-
lite? Where is the man who can
hold his tongue? Who knows how
to forgive an injury? Where is
happiness to be found? What man
knows how to live? and where is the
woman who can make good coftee?"
it must be one of the bard simple
things that Lamaratine refers to, for
where there is score Of house wives
who can make firm jellies and deli
cious preserves and pastiys, there is
not one who can be depended on

OBITUARY..

MRs. E. f. NASH was born in South
Carolina July 8, 1877, and died at
Tharpe's Springs, Texas, Dec. 13.
1884.
In early life her parents removed
to the vicinity of Elyton, now Birm-
ingham, Ala, where, at the age Of
seventeen wears, she was married to
W. W. Nash, and shortly afterwards
moved to NoSubee county, Miss,
where she remained until her removal
to Franklin parish, La, Dec, 1856.
When very young, she united with
the Methodist church, but after her
marriage changed her church rela-
tions, becoming, with her husband,
a Missionary baptist, of which faith
she was devout advocate til death.
1t was the happy privilege of the
writer to know her, in religion, in
business and in the social circle; and
her uniform course of life bore
brilliant testimony to the sincerity Of
her profession as a christian. When
a young minister, in 1872, l first met
sister Nash at a protracted meeting
under an arbor five miles south of
Delhi, where Newhope church now
stands. / will ever remember with
adoring gratitude her invaluable as
sistance in the efforts of tnat neigh
borhood to organize church, the
good accomplished by which, eterni-
tv alone will reveal.
During my residence Of eight years
in North La, (my favorite country
met her often at the church at Alto,
Ravville, Delhi, Newhome aud Hur-
ricane, to the later of which size
transferred her membership in May
1878, during my pastoral relation to
that church. There, as at ether
places, she worked with unabating
zeal for the Masters cause. The last
time saw her was during a meeting
at HUI ricane chu ch, in Aug. 1881.
The recollections of that occasion
will ever be dear to my memory. 1t
was my happy privilege to assist the
pastor in the baptism Of about fif-
teen joyful converts. On the banks
of the grand old Bayou Macon she
stood singing:
"Ch na3ry day tha, Fixed M choice
Ga thee my Savior, and my God,'
and rendering all necessary assistance
to the young converts who ''went
down into the water" and were bap-
fi1o1 IN op,11o,,, &c @lo I,,,.o1 of r.,
Savior, and then came strait way up
out Of the water representing His
resurrection, and declaring to the
church and the world their death
and burial to their former ,inregen-
Grated nature, and their transition to
"a newness' of life. There l babe
her good bye, little thinking that I
would see her no more until the
master should call me beyond the
river" "to rest under the shade Of
the trees"
In the social circle, she was a wo-
man of rare adaptability. Cheerful
and genial in conversation, she was
the ever desirable companion of both
the aged and the young.
Kind, obliging and charitable, she
endeared herself to the warmest af-
fections Of the poor whose sufferings
she, even under the most adverse cir
cumstances, readily relieved. She
leaves three daughters, all of whom
established fine reputation, and
married in intelligent and cultivated
families.

Volume Seventeen.

With this issue commences the
first number Of Volume XVII. Six
teen years have come and gone since
we issued the first number of the
HIGHLAND BEACON. During all this
time of adversely the BEACON has
made its weekly visits to the hearth
stone of the people of this parish,
and Notwithstanding it has been in
different hands as to the contributors
to the paper it has always been con-
Quoted in such way that it could
be received in the family as a weekly
guest. Nothing unchaste has ever
entered its columns during all this
period of time, the chief aim of the
publishers to promote the moral
standing Of the community in which
the paper has been published. 1t is
unfortunate that so few reading peo-
pie live in this parish compared to
the total population. 1t must be re-
membered that a large portion Of
our population is made up of the
colored people and we are pleased to
know that nearly all cf them who
can read take the BEACoS. Let every
man, white and colOred take the
paper. If at the end Of this volume
you think you have not had the full
value of your money we will satisfy
you by crediting you on the next
volume, provided you pay in aocance.
There is not man in the parish too
poor to take his parish paper. WHO
Will get US the largest paid up list Of
subscribers? We find several hun.
dred names on our books who are
years in arrears with their paper.
We notice several subscribers long
way behind with the paper. If you
are credited up to January 1st, 1885,
you owe for 1885, if you are only
credited to January 1st, 1884, you
owe for two years including 1885.
If you are credited to January ist,
1883, you owe three years including
1885; and so on as the paper is al
ways in advance. From this time on
we will mark the paper with an X
for each year due, as for instance if
your credit does not run into 1856
We will mark on the margin of your
paper Y, if your credit does not ex-
tend into 1884 we will mark on the
margin of your paper Xxx and so on,
one Y for each year.
