SO owing to the antagonism

many other States. For in

teryiewed the members of the

how they voted the other

December and January last,
Mr.. Cleveland vigorously de-

craftsmanship of a high order.
and political principles of d

of purpose, and openness OF

duty are a discount, he must
have a very strong following
from the South in the Ma

be determined to ignore the

VANCE AND RELIGION.

NANCE AND RELIGION.
Rev. r. A. Young. D. D., of
Tenn, is travelling in Europe
and met Senator Vance. He
thus reports the meeting in
the Nashville Christian Advo
cate:
We are comfortably quar-
tered in London at an i'm
where we have stopped twice
before. at the table adjoina
ing ours we have the compaa
ny OF a friend of my boyhood
-Zeb Vance, of North Caro-
lima. He and | parted at
Washington College forty
five years ago. With no in
PRODUCTION or hesitation we
shook hands instantly. We
are both getting old, feshy
and gray.
In the evening he sent up
the following card:
DEAR YoUNG-If not toe
late when yon come in, let me
know, and meet me in the lal
dies drawingr room for a talk.
Vance.
We did not talk aboutour-
selves, but the boys we knew
long ago-of their history's
success, defeats, death. Then
we spoke of the changes in re
lieious history and worship.
At the close OF the conversa-
tion he looked me earnestly
in the face and said: "Young
you have read the history OF
the church and have now seen
modern christianity in all it's
phases. Is not our good old
country meeting-house wori
ship the pu1est and best z"
To which ! replied, with en-
phasis, ''It is" And then I
delivered my mind on every
species Of Ritualism. This is
the germ and cause of all the
evils that have creptinto our
beautiful and holy religion.
NORTH cAR0LINAlANS In WAR.
We heard Gen. Hood, OF
Texas, say in his Marlborough
House speech that if he had
to give the bouquet to the
State that deserved best in
the war he would give it to
North Carolina. Gen. Wade
Hampton told Sena t or
Vance, as the Senator told
us, more than fifteen years
ago, that somehow the best
, troops h g saw in the war
were from North Carolina.
Gen. D. H. Hill, another
South Carolinian, had some
such opinion, perhaps. Gen.
, A. 2. Hill told Mr.. Wallace,
OF Petersburg, Va, that he
, would ra t h err command
North Corolinians than any
other troops because the
: were as brave as any others,
were more submissive to aul
thority, and were, therefore,
better soldiers. We heard Mr..
Wallace tell this in his own
house, addressing Rev. DR..
Prichard and this writer. Mr..
Wallace was a near relative
of the General, who was din
ing with him when he gave
h is opinion. Wilmington
Messenger.
