My friend, ancient rancor is passing away IL
our controversies. Only silly men now appea
to class, party or sect by epithet. Carpet bag
ger, renegade and infidel are no longer argu
ments, as no man of intelligence or breeding
uses them. Men to-day are seeking truth anC
not appealing to organized sentiment. The
mAteTlAllBn
II Dimes writings, his wit over old time dog
mas, were condemned In his early day and hi
was duly dubbed by intellectual fossils as AZ
infidel He has lived to see this all pass ava,
and the churches filled with ministers preach
ing wider liberty than he ever expressed
Appeals to organized opinions could not an
swer modern criticism and so now in all argu
ments the mighty thinkers of the age are no
called names without meaning, but respect
fully addressed as mister. Truly, my friend
the times advance nightly in lifetime
when the Brahman class OF good breeding dies
out then will we begin to retrograte to the In
tellectual capacities of n cabbage head, the
state of primitive man.
Your correspondent had the pleasure oil
spending last Sunday in the mountain village
OF Capon Bridge. twenty miles west of Win

are industrious, the land in good state of cult
walton and for sociability and hospitality they
cannot be beat. on Saturday night t4ey haC

torches for the procession. The band played
good music to tune up for the parade every
thing was in readiness after waiting until
O'Clock for the speakers who were to addres,
this large body (hfteen men and twenty five
boys) they failed TO put in appearance: the
order was given to march, the band playing
the small boys yelling and with a go as yol
please gait they started, returning in a shor
time. Our venerab bic friend mounted the steps
informed The boys that the speakers would mo-
be there, that he prop sed to give three cheeri
for the victory then adjourn TO the blacksmith
and take drink OF brandy bought for the oc
casion, which needed no second invitation
With thanks TO the crowd for their attendance
and several war whoops from the small boy
the crowd dispersed.
