The Cadets a New sar.st.

Aftw weeks after the battle of
New Market. =Dr. Hunter Mcclure,
formerly chief medical director of
Stonewall'' JaCksOn's army corps
and the surgeon who attended him
after his fatal wound at Chancellors-
vile, made an official visit of iDspec-
ton to the hospitals established in
Harrisonburg, Va, for the cnre of
the wounded sent from the field of
New Market. Among the GONZALES
cent he found a United States colo
mel of volunteers who had been se-
riousLy injured in the recent fight
DIR. Mcclure expressed to this off,
Ger his regret that the impoverished
condition of the southern service
and the total want of hospital stores
had made it impossible 10 make the
wounded prisoners more comforta-
BILE. adding that the Confederate
wounded we're equally stra!tened.--
The officer replied that he had re-
ceived every needed attention and
had been treated with marked kind
ness. He then said, in substance,
as follows:

DEATH FROM CIGARETTE SMOKING.
William Malehorn died yesterday,
in his twentieth year, as the residence
of his. father, Mr.. A. J. Maichorn,
Westminster. He was taken sick
about ten days ago with brain fever.
He was paraIyzed on one side sever
al days ago, and has been in deliri-
Gus condition ever since. His illness
it is supposed, was brought on by
the excessive smoking of cigarettes.
His system was so permeated with
nicotine that medical skill could do
very little to help him. He was a
brig ight and promising young man,
and was generally liked. There
have been several cases of illness in
Westminster recently, supposed to
have proceeded from the same
cause.-Hdgersto,Cn Globe. Jan. I6.

Al SURRY COURT.
What The Sentinel's Correspondent
Saw to Write About.


On our arrival in Dobson we found
our old friend, Henry Snow, Esq,
running the Martin House. We stop
ped with him and found him polite
and genial, with plenty on the table to
refresh and invigorate the sinner

rooms ard polite servants.
We saw our old friend, Col. Billy
Martin, (alias Dixie Walton) who
looked quite like he always did and
though the crows foot of time is stam-
ped upon his brow, and the silver
grey streaks his sandy locks, he is as
gay as a robin, and moves arouud
with that elasticity of step which
characterizes him for being the best
walker (either man or beast) in Surry
county. Billy is living monument
to "Jackson's foot cavalry" and will
long be remembered as an officer by
the survivors of the 21st N. G.. regi.
ment.
Dobson was considerably awake The
Jail was full, and The grand jury room
crowded with witnesses trying to make
indictments. There were eighteen
presentments made at this term of the
court for one offence, e. and a. sew
eral of which were tried. Billy Cope
land and Beck Brannock were pre-
sented for trial, and were married in
the court house Thursday, in. order te

that Mr.. George HI. Snow, who spent

effect that it the legislature is Demo-

FOR ELECTOR OF THE FIFTH DIS
TRICT.

One OF the most important nomina-
tions to be made in the Fifth Congress
sional District is that of Elector !;
and while the Democrats have large
number of good speakers, of popular
manners and of sound Democratic
principles,,I will take the liberty of
suggesting the name of John Dobson
Esq, of Surry, as peculiarly suitable
at this juncture.
Like his lamented father, he is a
foreible, convincing advocate. a practi-
cal man who combats with 4.gloves
off. His acquaintance with the peo-
pie of the western half of the District
his experience as Solicitor. and his
manly straight forward manner OF
going at the main issues in controver-
sy, render him a powerful ally and a
dangerous opponent.
I have heard his name mentioned
in connection with this position, and
am SO pleased with this suggestion
that I take this liberty of calling the
attention of the Democratic delegates
to him.-Democrat IN Greensboro Pa

triumph that represented much
bloodshed, cruelty, cOnfiscatiOn. woe,
misery, ruin and slavery. 1t was a
triumph of the battlefield. Jesus en-
tered Jerusalem like a king, but not
like such a king. He was lowly, but He
had salvation. Around Him were those
whom He had healed, and to whom He
had ministered, and those whom He had
won by His love, but none that He had
ever hurt, for He was never cruel.

Jesus, for He wept over the stubborn
city. The lesson of humility is among
the last we learn. Pride creeps
like serpent into the very par
adise of the church. He who
now claims to be the vicar of Christ
lives in one of the worlds greatest pal
aces, keeps $50 servants and has an in
come of a million and half year.
Around him are pitiful, starving multi
tudeS. We talk much about the people
being estranged from the church; they
were not estranged from Christ. He
was humble; He was one of them, and
one who could help them.
As He entered the city and the temple
with His strange procession many said,
'Who is He?,' Ever since that day that
has been the worlds greatest question.
Reason stumbles at it, as it does at
everything else; but faith answers it.
He is our brother and more; He is
divine; He is Gods Son. He is a
leader that will never fail us;
a guide that never loses his way. He is
preparing great triumphal entry for
all the redeemed into the ''city that has
foundations, whose builder and maker
is God" He invites us all to join him
with glad shouts, and great new songs,
and crowns of reward and banners of
life, and to enter with Him into the city
where there is the throne of God and of
the lamb.

SAMSON'S RIDDLE.
A Sermon by Rev. DIR. Burrell
From Judges xiv. IL.

"A OcF1lIOu ny new DE. DOEESit
From Judges xiv. IA.
Rev. d. j. Burrell preached at West
Minister church yesterday evening on
s'Samson's Riddle" Sin, the preacher
said, is an unmitgated evil. 1t is every
way abhorrent to God and injurious to
man. 1t is likened to Shiny serpent,
a ravenous lion, a great red dragon; but
God as manifest in Christ is mightier
than sin. His foot brushes the serpent's
head, his pierced hands rend aSunder the
lions Jaws, and he will yet chain the
great dragon and cast him into the lake
that burneth with fire. At no point
does God show His power more con-
spicuously than in bringing good out of
evil, and Overruling sin to the glory of
His own great name. He maketh the
wrath of man to praise Him.
First-Sin reveals God. There are
some of His attributes which, like the
stars, are seen best when thrown against
a dark background. We learn the holt
ness of God by contrast. The naked
eve of an angel cannot see the divine
holiness as we sinner can, who gaze
through smoked glasses at the sun. In
like manner the divine justice is most
plainly set forth in punishment laid on
Sin. And Gods love is nowhere so
gloriously exhibited as in the tragedy of
Calvary, the great sacrifice for sin.
SecOnd-Sin develops character. We
are told to ''add to our faith virtue:"
the word is virtus, that is, the courage
of Roman knight. The opportunity
of developing this manly grace is
afforded in our warfare against the
world, the flesh and the devil. The
fruits of the spirit, to-wit: love, joy,
peace, long suffering, gentleness, good
ness, faith, are only to be had as Her
cules got the apples of the Hesperides.
We must fight the dragon for them. A
glorious reward awaits the overcomer;
he shall "eat of the tree which is in the
midst of the paradise of God"
1hird-It behooveS us to be cautious.
There is danger on the one hand of I'M
derestimating the power of the adver-
sary; and there is danger on the other
of forgetting that God is with us. Two
lads were looking at the picture of
Elijah going toheaven in fiery chariot,
when the little one asked: "WOuldn't
you be afraid to ride thOt way?" mo-"
was the answer. mot if God drove"
Let us be of good courage. The coup
de grace was administered to sin when
Jesus died on Calvary. That was the
beginning of the end. His wounded
foot is crushing the venomous serpent's
head. His arm is made bare in our be-
half in every battle that we wage
against the common foe. Therefore let
us war good warfare. taking this for
our Watchword: "God with uS.'

THE TRIUMPH OF PEACE.
How the Triumph of Christ Differs
From That of Man.

At the Church of Christ yesterday
morning Rev. w. j. Lhamon preached
an interesting sermon from Mark XII,
Ill. He said:
AS Jesus passed down the side of
Mount Olivet toward Jerusalem the
children began to shout their ''Hosan-
mas" and the people spread their outer
garments in the way, that he might
ride over them, and they cut branches
from the trees to carpet the mountain
path, and the people from the city
Joined those from the country, and the
Jane were there walking and leaping,
and the blind were there seeing, and
lepers that had been cleanSed, and some
whose sins had been forgiven, and from
them all there were shouts of
"Hosanna." and clapping of hands, until
the enthusiasm passed the bonds of or
thodoX propriety, and the Pharisees said
Command these children to be STILL"
Jesus answered, elf these should hold
their peace, the very stones would cry
out" His words were prophecy. For
1,SO0 years the Jewish race has been
religiously silent. but the ruins of their
city have stood like mighty monument
over the grave of their wrcngS.
Christ'S was triumph of peace. 1t
had none of the trophies of war. In the
triumph of the Roman Emperor Aure-
Illus there were 20 elephants, 4 royal
tigers, 200 wild beasts, 1000 gladiators,
many crowns of conquered kings, EN-
bassadors from many nations. captiyeS
