The Clergyman of Bygonc Days.

The social position of the English cler.
gy was not always one OF respect and con-
sideration as, happily, at the present day
From the latter half of the seventeenth
century down to about the middle OF the
eighteenth the position Of the interior
clergy was regarded somewhat in the
same light as that Of upper servants. 10
whom no young lady would be guilty Of
showing any favor, much less Of giving
her hand.
The domestic chaplain was reIegated to
the servants hall for his meals; was OK
pected to do "a bit of gardening" and,
In short, to make himself generally useful
in return for his bed and board, with per.
haps salary Of e1o year. A waiting
maid or one Of the upper female servants
was considered good enough as wife for
his reverence, and not infrequently the
bonus of such helpmate was tackled on
to the gift of a family living when the
time came for rewarding the chaplain's
services with pension, thus killing two
birds with one stone, and with all due
economy.

Beecher's Sermon for One.

Beecher and Talmage are the most
unaffected of men in their personal
intercourse. CHANGED to see them
together at the Office of publisher
who contemplated a joint issue of
their sermons.
"Hello old fellow" said Beecher,
show are you %
"First-rate," responded Talmage,
graspipg the extended hand, "and
how do you feelp"
"Like living ten years to preach
your funeral Sermon"
Then they sat down for chat, and
were as jolly as schoolboys. Beecher
and Talmage are favorites with news
paper reporters, because they give
news frankly when they wish to, re.
fuse politely when they don't, and
never put on airs. Beecher is partic
ularly conscientious in his intercourse
with reporters. Quick to detect ant
resent any unfairness or trickory, hi
will go to a great length to oblige
square man. Here is a small instance
of his good nature. A young reporte

Beecher's house and asked to see tn
manuscript. There was none othe
than q few words on q card: "Bu
I'll help you out If you want no NOR
than half a column" said Beecher

densed but animated form. Th'

Another Abraham Lincoln Story.

An old gentleman who was on in
innate terms at the White House
during the war said: "Stories about
Mr.. Lincoln are plenty enough, but !
will tell you one which / can vouch
for as being true, and which, as far as
my knowledge is concerned, has new
er been in print. One of Mr.. Lin
coins most esteemed friends was ex-
Gov. Tod, of Ohio. He was quaint
old character, and Lincoln loved him
for his honesty, ability and native
shrewdness. At one time he thought
of Mr.. Tod in connection with the
secretaryship of the treasury, but
afterward he gave him foreign mis-
sion. One evening when Mr.. Tod
was in town Mr.. Lincoln invited him
over TO the White House. They had
long chat together, when Mr.. Lin
coin finally said: eLook here Tod ;
how is 1t that you spell your name
with only one dp l married Todd,
but she spelled her name with two
ds. All of her relatives do the same
You are the first Tod l ever met who
spelled his name with so few letters
'"Old Tod looked at Mr.. Lincoln In
his peculiarly quizzing manner and
then replied: Mr.. President, God
spells his name with only one d, and
what is good enough for God is goot
enough for me-
aMr. Lincoln used to repeat tin
story to some of his more intimat,
friends, and every time he did so h
would laugh until the tears ran dow

ED. South KENTUCKIAN
This is the day for preaching at the
Chapel, but it has been raining all
morning and 1t is now past church
time, so we'll not have any preaching
to-day. We have quite a flourishing
Sunday school at the Chapel now. 1t
meets every Sunday afternoon atS:3O
o'clock. Mr.. w. II. Elgin is Super
intendent, and he deserves the credit
Of its success, for he has worked with
an untiring energy.
Everybody is through setting out
tobacco and the prospects for crop
are very good now, Notwithstanding
the cut-worms and grass bopperi
have been very bad. / don't think
they can do much more damage to The
crop, as 1t has a pretty good start tC
grow.
Wheat and grass cutting Is the or
der of the day, and everybody put II
good time the last few days. Tn
afraid the heavy rain of to-day will
cause wheat to fall In the field. Th'
crop is about half harvested in thi
section.
We are sorry to hear Of Miss Molli

Ed. SOUTH KENTUCKIAN:
AS we are doing nothing in conse-
quence of so much rain, we thought
we would scratch a few lines to your
valuable paper, providing you are so
condescending as to publish this let
ter.
We had a perfect water spout here
on the 7th inst, and have had more
or less nearly every day or night up
to the present writing, washing away
corn and tobacco to a fearful extent
and in many fields washed away
nearly all of the dirt that had been
plowed up. 1t is so wet that the
farmers cannot get TO finish prepar-
ing their tobacco land, many of them
are not more than half done planting,
and what they have set the grasshop-
pers have eaten up as often as three
and four times. David Smith, on the
White Plains farm, has set his some
four times Frank Osteen says he hai
got four stubs in every hill of hi
ground; Dug Hale says he replantl
his tobacco every, day and can SCI
but little difference from setting it a
first. Corn is dreadfully in weed
and grass, and should the rain con
tinue few more days the wheat crop
that is the best that we haye had 70
years, will be greatly damaged.
1t is reported that an old lady tool
q very hearty cry last Sunday even
ing after the singing, because he
daughter, q very charming young la
dy, would not snub young gallant

ence 10 get them a school whetht

What Some Ohio Men Did In the
South.

"Here is the queerest shaped coun-
ty ever saw" said passenger in
the smoking car, holding up a red
and blue railway map; otis Warren
county, Tennessee, and as round as a
dollar. wonder how in thunder 1t
got in that shape?"
"Warren county, Tennessee" in
quired a passenger with white
slouch hat; "did you say Warren
county, Tennessee? / know all
about that county. Years ago there
WANT no Warren county. There
was little town called McMinnville.
In this town three or four men from
Ohio settled, bought land, started
stores and became prominent citizens.
But McMinnville wasn't a county
seat. 1t lay in one corner of a coun-
ty, and the country around was the
corners and ends of other counties.
Under these circumstances McMinn-
vile didn't grow very fast, and there
was no politics there, and men liv.
ing in McMinnville stood no show in
politics, anyway. These Ohio men
tried to rise in the political world
but it was slow work. Finally they
got mad and went to scheming. Be
| fore anybody knew what they wert
up to they had lobbied a bill through
the legislature cseating a new county
Warren by name, with McMinnvill'
as the county seat. When the sur
veyors came to run the county lin
they found that the law directed
! them to go west twelve miles iron
McMinnville, drive a stake; 60 eas
twelve miles from McMinnville ant
drive another stake; and north lively
4 and south twelve two more stakes
and then run q circular line cennect
ing these stakes. The result was,
course, a circle, and so Warren coun
ty appeared ON the map as round a
I a dollar, and with McMinnville righ
in the center. Then the Ohio me
Q were happy. They started right II
0 run the politics of the new county
filed most ofthe offices, and got ric
: on the rise in value Of their real e'
tate"
