On Christmas eve a few friends called
at the Methodist parsonage and present.
ed the pastor and his wife with a silver
cake basket and a rocking chair.
The series of meetings held in the
Methodist church the past few weeks
has resulted in much good. Several
conversions have taken place. and the
members of the church have become
more interested in building up the king
dom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus
Christ in this place. The meetings con
tinue to increase in interest, and the earn
est prayer of the church is that God will
send the Holy Spirit to many who are
yet unsaved. The pastor, Rev. Marvin
France, has been faithful in his ministry,
and souls are being saved and believers
receiving the blessing of perfect love.

Chnrch Burned at ShOreham.

THE Universalist church at ShorehamN
was completely destroyed by fire on
Sunday last. The flames were discover
ed about / o'clock in the afternoon.
There had been preaching in the fore
noon; and it is supposed that the fire
originated from some defect in the heat
ing apparatus. The loss is estimated at
$40. 1000; and there is no insurance. The
Congregational church took fire from
sparks blown upon it, but was saved by
liberal applications of snow.

Let us examine the blood lines of the
dams which enabled these six out of ia
to stand up on the turf five years or
more.
The greatest of them all, Geo. Wilkes,
was from a Clay dam and Morgan grand
dam. Through the Clay cross he I'M
doubtedly gets a second Morgan cross
from Lady Surrey, dan of Henry Clay.
Banker Messenger has a Morgan dam,
sired by Black Hawk.
Deucalion has thoroughbred blood, his
dam, Tiusty, being by a son of Imported
Trustee; his grand-dam also thorough
bred.
Lottie's dam was by Long Island Black
Hawk, Bashaw blood the grand-dam by
Imported Bellfounder.
Scotland Maid was from same dam as
Deucalion.
Young Bruno was from the great brood
mare. Kate. purchased at Montreal in
1856, said to be by Bellaire, but what he
was does not appear; grand-dam called
a pacing mare.

THE accsssions 30 and changes in the
faculty of the Medical College, published
in the APPEAL of Sunday, are well calcu-
lated to increase the reputation of de-
Beryedly successful institution, one that
rests upon an assured basis OF public con-
ii ence. Drs. Saunders, Maury, Erskine
and Sim are recognized physicians of the
highest charAeter-studious, ambitious
men who keep pace gith the advances
made in an art that is one Of the most
shifting and uDcert ain that men can en-
gage in New ayocatious snd new dsn-
gers, the increased and increasing luxuries
of modern life, the stubborn resistance by
our race to anything like ready adaptation
to a climate remarkable for its extremes of
meat aud cold, all tend in the direction of
new diseases and the complication Of the
old. This neCsssitstes on the pant of the
physicians who you'd excel, constant
study, careful noting ana comparative
ansiy ysis of cases, and the greatest care in
the use of new medicines and measures.
The practice Of medicine necessarily rests
upon experience. The varying constitu-
tons snd habits of men and women forbid
its ever becoming a science ike surgery,
resting upon a basis of well-asccrtaned
facts. hence the demand it makes of con.
slant work upon the part OF those who
would be leaders in it, sin the approval
of the profession at large, 4pd the conf
dence of the public. Il is well for the
reputation of Memphis that il has 44any
n i .lNrN to-
and that among the best ale the four who
have Just taken important chairs in the
college, the success Of which is one of The
most notable of all the successes that

M,CULLOUGH'S INSANITY.
Ft3aI Hearing of Testimony by the Com
E,,fssiOn at fhiiadelphia.

PHILADELPHIA, July 20.-The COM
mission appointed lJy the court to make
inquiries into the mental condition of
john Mccullough, the actor, who is now
confined in the Bloomingdale asylum,
held another meeting to-day Matthew
Canning, former business manager of
the actor. was recalled, and stated that
in his opinion Mr. Mccullough had lucid
intervals. He appeared 10 have thor
ough knowledge OF money matters, but he
did not believe that he was in condi-
tion to make business arrangements, At
times he was perfectly rational. He last
met him three weeks ago, when he ap
peared perfectly rational at times, while
at others he was wandering in his ae
tions. The witness stated that at one
time, after lie arranged some checks to
send to his wife, Mr. Mccullough re-
quested him to put them in an envelope
and then inclose all in another envelope.
William +. job who acted as Mr..
McCullough's counsel an this city, said
his first observation of Mr, Nc
CuHough's failure Of mind was
in January, 1884, and conversations with
him several times since had convinced
him that the great actor mind was in a
pit;able condition. He had lucid inter-
walls, Mr.. JoAnson said, but not sufficient
to enable him 90 take charge of his
estate He knows who has bean kind to
him, where his money is and how much
money he has got, This concluded the
hearing, and an aajournment took place
until Wednesday next, when the commis
sion will probably give its verdict.

IT mDst be very encouraging to the
school teachers OF the South who have
aided in 30 necessary an enterprise that
the summer school at Monteagle has
proven a great success, this year sn es-
pecially notable one. Located as it is On
the Cumberland plateau, where cool ard
energizing breezes blow the whole sum-
mer long, and managed by men and
women of large sympathies and earnest
purpose as educators, it is destined to grow
more and more popular and TO become
one of the foremost of all the means re-
sorted to to advance the cause of eduea-
ton AZ the South. 1t will increase the
stock of knowledge and the technical skill
and strengthen the abilities of the teach
ers, steadily raise the standard of efficiency
and tend to weed out the men and
women who are mere smatterers, who
have no sympathy with their woTF,
and are at once the weakness, the
shame and tie disgrace of the science.
The profession of school teaching has
made wonderful advances in the past
twenty years and is now one OF the recog-
uized asenGes of public support and pre-
lerment, but it is far from the perfection
it must reach before it meets fully t1e
public necessities. To so this efteetually
il must weed out the lazy, iHS Indifferent,
the hslf-traiped and wholly usG'ess ones,
spd make an impression of thorous 'lness
and s1thusiasr, in the greatest and tnIH
best, the most sacred, work that men and
women can engage in.
