Grant and Ice at Appomattox-A strik.
ing Contrast.


The contrast between the two comman-
ders VAS very striking, and could not
fail to attract marked attention. as they
sat ten feet apart facing each other.
General Grant, then nearly 43 years OF
age, was 8 feet 8 inches in height, with
shoulders slightly stopped. His hair and
full beard were q nut brown, without q
trace Of gray in them. lie had on o
single breasted blouse, made Of dark blue
flannel, unbuttoned in front, and show
ing q waistcoat underneath. He wore
an ordinary pair Of top boots, with his
trousers inside, and was without spurs.
The boots and portion of his clothes were
spattered with mud. He had had on q
pair of thread gloves, Of a dark yellow
color, which he had taken of on entering
the room. His felt ''sugar loaf" stiff
brimmed hat was thrown on the table
beside him. He had no sword, and q
pair of shoulder straps was all there was
about him to designate his rank. In
fact, aside from these, his uniform was
that of a private soldier.
Lee, ON the other hand, was fully six
feet in height, and quite erect for one OF
his age, for he was Grants senior by
sixteen years. His hair and full beard
were a silver gray and quite thick, ex-
cept that the hair had become a little
thin in front. He wore q new uniform
of Confederate gray, buttoned up to tho
throat, and at his side he carried a long
sword of exceedingly fine workmanship,
the hilt studded with jewels. It was
said to be the sword which had been pre-
sented 10 him by the state Of Virginia.
His top boots were comparatively new,
and seemed to have on them some orna-
mental stitching Of red silk. Like his
uniform. they were singularly clean and
but little travel stained. On the boots
were handsome spurs with large rowels.
A felt hat, which in color matched pretty
closely that Of his uniform, and n pair Of
long buckskin gauntlets lay beside him
on the table.
We asked Col. Marshal afterward how
IL was that both he and his chief wore
such fine toggery and looked SO much rs
IL they had just turned out to 50 to
church, while with us our outward garb
scarcely rose to the dignity even Of the
''shabby gcntcel." He enlightened us
regarding the contrast by explaining that
when their headquarters wagons had
been pressed so closely by our cavalry q
few days before. and it was found they
would have to destroy all their baggage
except the clothes they carried on their
backs, each one naturally selected the
newest suit he had. and sought to propi.
tate the gods Of destruction by q sacri-
fee of his second best.-Gen. Horace

REV. W. T. THOMPSON, D. D.
His Visit Imparts Infinite Pleasure
to the People of AbbeyiIie.

Seldom has any one man been permitted
to OCCASION more delight and joy in the hearts
or q community than did DIR. w. T. Thomp-
son by his recent visit to us. The Abbevilie
Presbyterians especially received him with
open arms, and indeed the whole town greet
ed him with the warmest welcome. He came
to us the friend in need and proved himself
the friend indeed. All were charmed with
him. The dedication sermon which he
preached in the Abbeville church last Sab
bath morning was specimen Of matchless
cloquence. He Is pulpit orator of the high
est order, and the impression he made upon
this people by his preaching will not be for
cotton soon. Never was finer audience
gathered In Abbeville, and mover did speak
er have more completely the sympathy of his
hearers. The beautiful new church was filled
to its utmost capacity. DIR. Thompson is u
finished clocutionist- His voice is rich, full 4,
well sounded and magnifcently trained. His
articulation is very distinct, and his action
superb. He is both a rhetorician and a logi-
clan. His style Of speaking would captivate
any audience. His manner of presenting
truth is more attractive and impressive.
He preached n second sermon Sabbath eYe-
ming, and in this effort the high standard OF
excellence which he set up by his mornings S
discourse was fully maintained, II not sur
passed. All regret that DR.. Thompson's stay
was so short. He has warm place in the
hearts OF the people Of Abbeville, and anoth-
cr visit from him in the near future Is antici-
pated with great pleasure.

slowly and at best, but partially from these
he pursued his studies for the ministry, at the
Theological Seminary at Columbia and after
graduating was installed as Pastor of Bethes
da church In York County, where for many
years he served large and pious congrega
ton. In January 1886, he accepted a call tc
his present charge, being induced to do so by
widely scattered country charge were toe
great for his physical strength. It was hart
and painful struggle, alike to Pastor and peo
pie, to sever ties OF affection that had bounC
them so long together :-and his abiding love
for them, which absence has not conquerored
and their repeated and substantial express
ions of affection and regard for him are al
beautiful in the one as in the other.
It's difficult to speak Of DR.. Wilson other
wise than in strains that might be called full
some panegyric, which to his humble an6
modest spirit, Of all others would alone bt
distasteful-and for his sake we forbear to de-
so.
Suffice 1t to say that to this people, as tc
those whom he left Is he thoroughly endear
ed, and to him as faithful min nister Of Christ
the highest OF all earthly blessings has beer
opened, of seeing the work OF the Lord pros
pering in his hands.

THE ORIGIN OF THE CHURCH.

Beginning Of a Glorious Achieve.
ment..-Regret Mt DR.. Turner's Alb.
sence.
The Abbeville Presbyterian church
through the body from which 1t sprang-the
upper Long Cane church-has long and in
teresting history. 1t has existed for more
than hundred years.
The first public announcement of q desire
to organize a separate Church at Abbeyille
dates back to 1874, when Rev. D. Mcneil Tur.
gested for the benefit Of Presbyterianism
and for the advancement Of the cause which
all Christian people hold most dear, that q
church or chapel should be built at Abbeville
to build church at Abbevile, that it would
be we'll to erect a chapel which would be
more accessible or more convenient for the
people Of the village, many OF whom often
remained away from service because Of the
tion of the congregation fell unable or un.
willing to enter heartily into the work oi
building the chapel, they would contribute
lending to the movement their moral sup
port, even if they gave not more than one
nail toward the work"
This proposition met with the most hearty
member na r'v who lived in the Country " while It
was not thought by the village portion Of the
church. to be practical. The matter was not
referred to again by DR.. Turner, but the one
speech uaQ eIlcCI. IL WAS llhe b llGLlG l66V-
en-, and we have heard it suggested that 1t
was the cause which finally severed the rela.
tions Of pastor and people.
In 1854 the brick structure, which was de-
stroyed by fire in 1887, was erected. Services
were held there two Sundays in the month";
the pastor dividing time between the places
Of worship. But up to that time no separa-
tion Of the congregation was contemplated.
No effort was made to sever the con-
gregation until 1858, when a complete separa-
fion uas DrOpOqad. Rut no second Was rece1v-
ed to the motion, and it fell still born In
1868, when DR.. Turner had been recalled, and
was the beloved pastor Of the whole people,
the village people, with great unanimity, ask.
ed fol. letters Of dismissal from Upper Long
Cane, in order that they might organize the
Abbeville Presbyterian church, with DR.. Tur-
ner as their pastor.
When 1t is remembered that DR.. Turner was
the first man TO propose or suggest the organi-
zatlon Of the Abbeville church, and when 1t is
known that he loves this peopleas he perhaps
it is a matter OF regret that he was not with
us to rejoice with us in the dedication Of the
splendid temple for the building of which he
himself may have been remotely responsible,
