From Law to the Gospel.

PARKERsEuRG. w. Va, April
29.-Hon. Chas. T. Caldwell. un'
ill recently known throughout
the country as the "Ingersoli oi
the West Virginia bar,' from his
known infidellty TO the Christian
religion, and who was recently
converted by The preaching o!
evangelist Slmons, has taken To-
cal ministerial orders. He preach
ed his first sermon this morning
I'm the Methodist Episcopal
Church South in this city, TO an
unusually large and critical au-
dience. The sermon was a mas
terly effort, abounding i'll beauti
full similes, appeals of touching
patIlos and logical deductions.
The large congregation, many OF
whom were old friends and COM
panions of Caldwell in the old
life, expressed the utmost aston
ishment aud wonder at his eX-
traordinary talent and ability as
"A teacher OF the Gospel. Cald-
we'll will shortly discDi.tinue the
practice of law and ,n'er his
new field Of labor.

Weather Crop Bulletin.

Washington, April 30lh.-The
signal office crops bulletin issued
reports as the most marked
feature in the rainfall fer the
past week, the large deficiency
reported in the winter wheat
states of the Ohio and Mississippi
Valleys. At many stations with
in this region, embracing the
Territory from the gulf States
northwaTd to the lake regions, no
rain occurred, while very light
showers a:e reported at other
stations. More than the usual
amount of rainfall is reported
from Texas, Colorado, Nebraska,
Western Kansas, Minnesota,
Western Iowa and Northern
Wisconsin, and we'll distributed
showers occurred on The Gulf
coast, in the middle Atlantic
States and in Western Missouri
and in Eastern Kansas.
Owing the the general dehc-
iency of rain, the weather OF the
week has affected growing crops
unfavorably. Rain is especially
needed In the winter wheat sec
tions and in the northern por
tions of the Gulf States. Frosts
occurred in Kentucky, Eastern
Tennessee, North Carolina, South
Carolina and. the Middle Atlantic
States during the week. which
probably injured vegetables and
fruit.
Reports from Kansas, Mime
sofa and Western Missouri indi-
cate that the weather has been
favorable in these sections and
that farm worl, is well advanced.
The weather is reported as IA
vorabIo for farm work in New
England, where plowing and
planting are IN progress.

CHIIV JUSTICE FULLER
Judge Waite's Vacant
Chair Filled.
Illinois Gets the appointment
One Of the Ablesi Lawyers in the
Country Appointed.
TEE OFFICE SOUGHT TIE NAN.

Washington, April 30.-The Presi-
dent, to-day. nominated Melville w.
Fuller. of Chicago, to be Chief Justice
of the United States. The nomination
is commended by every prominent
member Of either party. The Repub-
lican members from Illinois are warm
in their Endorsements and leading at
torneys in tine Supreme Court to-day
testified TO his legal ability. The IL
linois Democrats in the House are very
much gratifed. Mr.. Fuller has ap-
pcared in many cases here against the
best lawyers in The land His literary
attachments are highly mentioned. and
in lis private life his devotion to home
has often been alluded to. II is learn
ed that the President started with him
as his favorite, and could discover no
choice with which to displace him.
A singular coincident is that Minister
Phelps and Senator Gray, who. were
thought to be the layorites under con-
s.deration, were chatting together on a
sofa in the senate chamber when the
nomination came in. Both commend-
ed the appointment to the senators who
surrounded them to discuss the subject.
WAS NOT A CANDIDATE.
Mr.. Fuller has never been on the
bench, but is one of the most promi-
nent lawyers of the West. He is said
to have had more practice before the
Supreme Court than any OF the western
lawyers, and when he comes to Wash
ington be will be readily recognized as
having been frequent visitor 10 the
Capitol. He is small man, weighing
not over rs pounds, with white hair
apd mustache. The President has
known him personally ever since he
has been here. Mr. Fuller was not a
candidate for the Office, and indeed
there has been some dou0t about his
accepting it when rendered. He had
no papers before tie President, bat q
great many letters were received at the
White House from prominent men ad-
.yancing his nomination. 1t is said
that the President was Influenced in,
making the selection largely by his
own personal knowledge Of Mr.. Fuller S
abilities and fitness for the position.
His age he thought about right-hfty
Ave years-and he has always bsen a
staunch Democrat. 1t is understood
that both Senators Culiom and Farwell
urged the selection, as they feel conf
dent there would be no question about
his confirmation.

The Tree-A Notion Of Col.
Jas. Taylor.
We lake from Col. Jim Taylor
of she Columbus Journal, the
following.

of she Columbus Journal, the
following:
HE who makes single tree grow where
none grew before is a benefactor to human
lty. was, in substance, saying approved
many people are there who yesterday en-
rolled themselves amongst the benefactors
CT mankind 2"
This is a perversion of The BIZ
Bile text. The shade of a rock,
not of a tree, was the hope and
desire of the men of the desert
and plain. The sunshine was
what the pioneer of the wooded,
and we will say the populated
civilized country required.
The Tree is the enemy every
working people must overcome.
: 1t stands a barrier 10 the opening
of farms, to the building of cities.
1t is the habitatlon of owls and
ghouls. It has no relation to
wheat and corn.
The Tree was the enemy Of the
pioneer who, with his conquering
ak, made it possible for us of to-
day 10 inhabit Ohio. Where a
tree grows no potato Will yield a
fertile hill-no stalk of corn a
prolific ear. The Tree has always
beensagainst The man who work
ed his living ont of the ground.
Col. Tavlorand ourself, for that
matter, plant trees. We take
: pride to assist III the decorations
Of our yards and the public
g ounds on Arhor Day, in
planting trees, but he and "we''
and we 2nean all of US. are too
fresh from the clearing, too much
at enmIty 10 the shade, the mild
estway We can put it, of the Tree
that dwarfed our potatoes and
wiIted our corn. Our notion is to
cut down the Trees. Instead of
planting trees, plant potatoes or
corn or sow wheat Oh. oats.
We can enjoy the sight OF
Johnny.jump-ups in the yard !;
we admire all the posies in the

from the settlement of our
country.

courages that business instead of
planting corn, is worthy to a po-
silion on the Columbus Journal.
