Senators and Members Assisting at
Camp Meetings and Revivals.

Camp Meetings and Revivais.
While most Of our Legislators are of at
the watering places or angling for the
sportive swimmers, there are few who are
passing their vacations In the more godly
occupation Of converting sinners. The ex-
preston congressional Evangelists" may
seem paradoxical, but IL is not. Congress-
man Taulbee, Of Kentucky, has spent his
last three weeks preaching at camp meet
ings, and, Ii is said, will keep up his evan
gelizing efforts throughout the summer.
Kentuckians here say that he is one Of the
most effective revival preachers ever heard
IN that state. Although he studied for the
ministry, he never entered the pulpit, aud
has never until this year shown such marked
religious enthusiasm. Since Congress ad-
journed he has travelled all through his
mountainous district, praying, singing, and
exhorting. II might be supposed from this
that MIR. Taulbee has come to the conclu-
sion that he had better resume his minis
terial studies, and take to the pulpit for
good. Not SO. He Is eager to return to
Congress. Several aspirants for his scat
have risen up about Saylersville, aud hot
contest is before him. Whether all this has
anything to do with his new born fervor or
not II is impossible to say for certain, still
there is a curious coincidence about the
whole thing.
Less noticeable, but just as effective In
evangelizing is Senator Colquitt, OF Georgia.
Since Congress adjourned he has been most
Of the time engaged in addressing temper
ance organizations and branches of the
Young Mems Christian Association IN the
south. Last week he delivered four tenn
perance lectures in Georgia towns, and is
to speak tomorrow night at Augusta before
the Y. NJ. G. A. The senator was known
for his good work while in Washington,
| too. Not only did he attend church aud
other religious meetings regularly, but he
| did not deem II beneath senatorial dignity
to take part in the mission services In the
upstairs room on the avenue. He appeared
| there twice, and displayed great interest in
| the work of the missionaries.
Congressman Anderson, Of Kansas, has
filed pulpit occasionally since Congress
adjourned. He is an ordained Presbyterian
minister, and has always been noted for his
fervor in the cause OF religion. While in
Washington he was an attendant at the
| New York Avenue Presbyterian Church,
and, although he never preached, he fire.
| quently led In prayer.
Senator Brown, of Georgia, has not been
| going about preaching, but he has written
several religious articles for Baptist period
| icals during the summer He has also pre-.
| sided at Baptist convention at Atlanta. 1t
is said that the senator prays more impress
sively in public than any man in Atlanta.
| He believes In the old-time method Of mus
| cular accompaniments. While Offering up
vibratory notion his arms swing about
and his body sways backward and forward
He is exceedingly popular with the Baptist'
| Of his state, and they are so numerous IL
| Georgia that he can retain his position at
| long as he retains their affections.

The CuIpeper Fair.

The Piedmont Agricultural Society will
hold its fourteenth annual fair at Culpeper,
Va, commencing on Sept and continuing
three days. This is the first fair to be held
in the state this fall, and judging by former
exhibitions, will be one Of the best. Stu
ated as 1t is in the center OF the beautiful
Piedmont section Of Virginia, 1t has rich
articles for exhibition. The premiums
offered in every department are liberal, and
the exhibits Of live stock, poultry, farm,
orchard, and domestic products, manufac-
lures, &C., will therefore be large and at
tractive, and Oh interest to the visitor. The
racing programme is especially attractive
for the second and third days. A day can
always be spent pleasantly at the Culpeper
fair. Excursion rates will be given on all
railroads leading to Culpeper.

Pay Premium on Them.
"The scarcity Of nickels at home is caus-
ing us great annoyance" said a Minneap-
oils gentleman at wlllard's yesterday.

change for customers, and those who pos.
sess the precious nckels Will not part with
them except at q considerable premium.
The horse-car lines also experience much
trouble; sometimes their change gives out
aud It is impossible for the conductors TO
make accurate returns. You might not
think that such little thing has much ef-
feet on business, but 1t has hepeople are
complaining all over the state, and not only
in Minnesota, but in Wisconsin, Michigan,
Dakota, and the adjacent states. Several
enterpnsing men have written east to have
barrels Of nickels shipped to them, Offering
to pay per cent. premium aud cost of
Transportation. A few barrels have already
been received at Minneapolis, although

Of the nickels. OF course they made their

this state OF affairs there will
be brand new industry started up IN the
enterprising northwest. Just before left
home we got some relief In the shape Of a
circus which came along. Those affairs
have, you know, a large quantity of small
change with them usually, so everybody
who went to the ticket wagon offered
bills or large silver pieces, and would have
nothing but nicliles in change. OF course
the supply was not up to the demand, but
the circus's coppers were relief anyhow.
