Many years ago we heard sermon from the
Rev James ID. Coulling, Methodist preacher
Of decided ability. In the course of the SER
mon Mr.. Coulling told several pointed and per-
tinent anecdotes in illustration of his subject.
Upon leaving the church, we walked little
way with Presbyterian lady of considerable
intelligence and some culture. We were ac-
companied by an elderly gentleman Of uncom-
mon sagacity and wide reading The lady
criticised the sermon very severely. Said she
g don't like TO hear anecdotes from the pull
pit. do not call that preaching. want to
hear preacher reason" There was slight
pause, when our elderly friend said very quiet
ly: A certain man went down from Jerusa-
lem to Jericho and fell among thieves. The
Preacher who told that anecdote is supposed to
have known how to preach, and He was very
much given to telling anecdotes" This re-
mark closed the discussion.

statement that after the close OF the rebellion
several vessels were engaged in kidnapping

selling them as slaves. He said some Missouri
regiment was then at Mobile, Ala, and that
they were engaged IN suppFessing this slave
trade and breaking up organized bands Of COZ

and TOmbigbee Rivers. VIII you please state
if such were the facts, and what Missouri rezi-
