LincOin,s Religion.

The forthcoming (AugusD number
OF the Century will contain chapter
on "Lincoln and tho Churches in the
Lincoln History; by Messrs. Hay and
Nicolay, from which the following is
an extract from advance sheets:
He was man of profound and in
tense religious feeling. We have no
purpose Of attempting to formulate
his creed; we question if he himself
ever did so. There have been swift
witnesses who, judging from express
sions uttered in his callowyouth, have
called him an atheist, and others who,
with the most laudable intentions,
have remembered improbable con.
versations which they bring forward
to prove at once his orthodoxy and
their own intimacy with him. But
leaving aside these apocryphal evl-
dences, we have only to look at his
authentic public and private utter
ances to see how deep and strong
in all the latter part of his life was
the current of his religious thought
and emotion. He continually invited
and appreciated, at their highest
value, the prayers of good people.
The pressure of the tremendous prob
lens by which he was surrounded;
the awful moral significance OF the
conflict in which be was the chief
combatant; the overwhelming sense
of personal responsibility, which nev'
er left him for an hour-all contribut-
ed to produce, in temperament M
turally serious and predisposed to O
spiritual view Of life and conduct, @
sense of reverent acceptance OF the
guidance of a Superior Power. From
that morning when, standing amid
the falling snowfakes on the railway
car at Springfield, no asked the pray
ers of his neighbors in those touch.
ing phrases whose echo rose thai
night in invocations from thousands
of family affairs, to that memorable
hour when on the steps OF the Capitol
he humbled himself before his Crea
tor in the sublime words of the! se conc
inaugural, there is not an expressio I
known to have come from.his lips Of
his pen but proves that he hold him
self answerable in every act OF his
career to q more august tribunal than
any on earth. The fact that he wal
not acommunicant of any church
and that he was singularly reserved
in regGrdto his personal religious
life, gives only the greater force t.
these striking proofs of his profound
reverence and faith.

The San Marcos FREE PREss says
"the management Of tho Georgetown
Chautauqua are displaying an energy
in working it up worthy Of a better
cause Why, what's the matter with
the causei- thought II was good
Please onlighten us, Brother Julian
We clip tho above from the Colum-
bus Citizen, and notice that the La
Grange Journal shares in the anxious
curiosity manifested. These breth-
rem "want to know, you know" They
shall be gratifiod.
The cause, then, in general terms
ia certainly good. reference was
TO the peculiar course Of some OF the
representatives OF the cause at
Georgetown.
Now, be it known, we have no moro
interest in this matter than is involv
cd in the obligation we always feel
to stand by our own locality in all
laudable enterprises. We have a very
poor opinion Of the man, whatever
his pretensions or assumptions Of
superiority, who is wanting in this
respect. This by the way.
The leading members Of the George
town Chautauqua were with but not
of, the Chautauqua at this place last
summer, and we have the auth
ority of some Of their associates here
and who are among the best men OF the
place, that since tho course Of these
men has been distinguished by
anything but fair and square dealing;
that it has exemplified the sharp
practice OF the least reputable por-
ton of the legal fraternity, rather
than the character of ministers OF
the gospel, which most, if not all OF
them claim to be; forcing the convic,
ton to the minds of many that there
is ga good deal OF human nature
among preachers as we'll rs other
people. In short tho conviction has
been forced on many that, unlike the
ghost in Hamlet, there was "specula
ton in the eyes Of the manage
mont of the Georgetown Chautau-
qua, which might explain, but could
not excuse, their conduct.
Much sympathy is felt here for the
good people Of Georgetown Under
tho circumstances. They will be APT
to be "wiser and sadder" after q
while.

San Antonio.

We took q run TO San Antonio on
Sunday morning. Having occasion
to go out on Commerce street over a
mile, and thence across Dignowity
Hill TO the vicinity Of military bead
quarters, we saw q good deal OF those
suburbs for tho first time, and were
surprised ct the evidences OF the
city's growth. And we learned that
it is thus spreading out in oil direc-
tons. improvement is the order OF
tho day. Building lots, however,
may yet be had on some OF the
newer streets at about S4OO each.
While, therefore, in the old city there
are good many vacant and unde-
sirable tenements, the general outlook
is healthy, and San Antonio ia des-
tined to be scarcely second to any
other city in Texas.
FALL OF THE DAsTILE CELEBRATION.
In the evening we attended, by in
yitation. tho celebration by the
French citizens of the fall OF the
Bastilc, ut Muth's garden. The cen
tennial had stimulated them to extra
efforts on this occasion. The grounds
and pavilions were profusely decor
ated with the colors of the sister
Republics. The Musical Union band
discoursed excellent music, and there
was a lady vocalist of merit. The
Marseillais was finely rendered both
by tho band and the singer. A sort
OF gift drawing came in as nm inter
lude, and afforded great Amusement
A banquet. with speeches in French
and English followed, but owing to
the lateness OF the hour we did not
remain to report Dancing came last
ON the programme. However a
rigid Sabbatarian might have con-
demned the earlier proceedings, the
later must have been exempt from
his censure, for, rs we learn, they
extended far into Monday morning.
We wish in conclusion to express
our own pleasure at tho sight OF so
many ardent patriots and agreeable
people made happy; also for cour-
tesies extended US, especially by
Mr.. Binding, tho master. OF cere-
monies, and Mr.. Lahourcade OF the

EDIToR FREE PRESS:
We herewith hand you some facts
and figures which we hopo will help
to correct tho erroneous impression
that some people entertain in regard
to big crops being always sign OF
prosperity to all classes. Our figures
are made to show the condition OF
the renter, which class forms n large
per cent. of the population of this
country.
Our figures are made on the basis
of forty acres to the hand, and wages
at 75c. per day. Wo take it for
granted that it costs as much to make
twenty bushels of corn per acre, as
it does to make one bale. The diff
fernce of profit consists in gathering
and marketing. But see the figures ::
