Rev. DR.. Coleman.

Aside from the pleasure of being
given an opportunity of hearing the
celebrated Gen. Geo. A. Sheridan, the
people of this city have had the good
fortune the past week, to listen to sew
eral discourses from DIR. Coleman. of
Kentucky, man of wide experience
and travel. DR.. Coleman is minister
ia the NJ. E. church. South, and in Civ
ing lectures before the masonic frater-
nifty, happened to be in this city over
Sunday. He delivered an address in
the Masonic Hall Saturday evening.
His subject was masonic Antiqui-
ties and embraced his extensive travel
in the Holy Land and his observations
of the evidences that lead to the estab-
fishing of the age of that fraternity.
His lecture was accompanied by exhibit
tons of relics and specimens gathered
from different portions of that country.
On Sunday morning and evening he
occupied the Methodist pulpit. The
morning address was plain gospel
sermon, containing much thought and
food for reflection. In the evening his
lecture entitled 1.-The Holy Land" was
delivered to very large congregation,
all available space being occupied.
Years of travel and careful observation
and study in that land of wonder en-
abled the speaker to present his SUBJ
ject IN a most charming manner, and
his krowlege of the Arabic tongue.
of which some examples were gwen,
gave pleasing feature 10 the address.
What he saw on his visits to ruins of
ancient cities, and others that have
stood the test of lime were wildly por-
trayed, and the customs of that be-
nighted people clearly shown. Speci-
mems of rock, precious stones of tho
Bible, specimens of fruit trees and pro-
duce of the country, and relics from
noted historic spots were exhibited and
briefly reviewed. His lecture was both
charming and helpful to all students of
Biblical lore and was greatly enjoyed
bV his large audience

The Modern Pagan .

The City Hall contained good aud
fence Saturday night to listen To the first
entertainment of the lecture course.
Rev. p. H. Mason introduced the
speaker, and stated that the subject had
been changed from the ''Great Captain
Grant, rs advertised, to "A Modern
Pagan" This was wise change as
the course is non partisan. and lecture
on Grant could not be otherwise than
partisan. What the pagans. if there
were any present, thought. of course
could not be helped, but they certainly
carried home in their think tanks"
many good homely truths TO ponder
over.
All answers to Col Robert G Ingerscll
(tbe modern Pagan ara necessarily
based on the universal acceptance of
The Bible, and Gen. Sheridan's lecture
followed the beaten path, and developed
into very fair sermon. Ingersnlls
oScNNANS vi tHS blbtSs iikc All AaOSs mas
had IFS day, and whether the discussions
and research incidental thereto have been
productive of more harm than good, is
probably an open question, though
doubtless many people read their
Bibles more intellgently than they ever
did before. That Ingersoll sought fol-
lowers is slightly ERRONEOUS, as his one
fundamental principle has been that all
should read and think for themselves
and rot Re bhndly led by ecclesiastical
dogmas; that if there should be such a
thing as salvation one creed was as safe
transport as another. But Bobbie' s
ultimatun was the elusive dollar, and
as he has accumulated that galore, with
a modicum of fame attached, he will
view with complacency the wagging of
the world in any direction it pleases.
The lecture throughout was closely
listened to, and much enjoyed as Gen.
Sheridan is fluent and entertaining
speaker.
The next entertainment in the Lecture
Course will be the Weber Quartette,
| Tuesday, Dec 30th.

prominence during the past week. Hogs
have varied in prices this week more
than heretofore. Receipts and ship
ments haYe been strong, the largest
shipment of the season being made
Wednesday in the number of II car
loads of hogs. Grain is also on the de-

ceived their highest prices in oats,
which are much lower than for some
