a Sensational Preacher.

The Rev. DR.. Dixon, Of New York, is fast
making a reputation as a sensational
preacher. The trouble with him seems to
be that he does more talking than thinking.
He attacked Col. Robert G. Ingersoll re-
Gently. and that distinguished agnostic
called him into court to prove his charges.
A day or two ago he delivered lecture in
Atlanta. Before beginning his lecture he
undertook to get up little sympathy for
himself by attacking DR.. Hawthorne, of
that city, distinguished Baptist minister.
DR.. Hawthorne was not present, but he had
friends there, one of whom took the liberty
to say to DR.. Dixon that the wiser course
for him to pursue was to go on with his
lecture and to seek a more appropriate time
and place for airing his grievance against
DR.. Hawthorne.
1t seems that be had no just cause for at
lacking DIR. Hawthorne, but he thought he
had. He was SO anxious, apparently, to
say something unpleasant about DR.. Haw-
thorne that he did not take the trouble
to find out whether or not he was mistaken
in supposing DR.. Hawthorne had done him
| an injury.
DR.. Dixon wanted to preach in Atlanta
last Sunday, and wrote 20 DR.. Hawthorne
to secure pulpit for him. The Baptist
convention was in session and the assign
ment Of pulpits was in the hands of COM
mittee of ministers. This committee had
read a recent interview with DR.. Dixon,
published in the New York Press,
in which he had spoken in a very
unkind and unjust way about the south,
notwithstanding the fact that he is a
southerner by birth. The committee told
DIR. Hawthorne to notify DR.. Dixon that no
pulpit would be open to him in Atlanta on
the day in question. DR.. Hawthorne
| oheyed instructions, and that was the ex-
tent Of his offense. For that DIR. Dixon
undertook to give DR.. Hawthorne "piece
OF his mind" as the saying is.
DR.. Dixon may be a pretty good sort of a
young fellow, but it is quite evident that he
is afflicted with the big head" A little
success in New York has made him think
the world has its hand to its ear anxious tc
hear what he has to say. He will get rid of
! his affection after awhile and then he will
| be a more useful man.

well Deserved Comm uments

Representative Lester Is receiving a good
many compliments for the good work he
did on the river and harbor bill and getting
the bill through the House. He is a man
who makes very few pretensions, but he
does effective work. One source of his
power is his ability to make friends who
will lend him helping hand when he needs
their assistance.
In this day in congress the men who make
speeches are not the ones who are most
valuable to their constituents. The work.
ers, the men who shape the bills and
have them passed, are the men who are in
demand. A man who oan make strong
friends is worth in congress half dozen
men who are chiefly noted for their ability
to make speeches.
And all the talk of the New York papers
about the river and harbor bill being an
extravagant one is bosh. The increase in
the amount it appropriates hardly keeps
pace with the growth Of the country.
The river and harbor bill that passed the
House the other day carries only about
So, 000,0 600 more than the river and harbor
bill passed by the last congress, while the
pension bill Of this year carries more than
$50, 000.0 900 more than the pension bill OF
last year. And yet the New York papers
do not call attention to the enormous in
crease In the pension burden.

"Joe" Manley. WHO'S personally in favor
of President Harrison's candidacy" ha:
been in Washington week "in daily COM
munication with Secretary Blaine" Talk
ing to New York Recorder correspondent
he said he had reluctantly come to the con-
clusion" that Mr.. Blaine was ''out of it, ;
and if necessary would write another
letter saying he did not want the nomina-
ton and would not have it, even IL offered
to him. There seems 20 be no necessity for
Mr.. Blaine to again take his pen in hand
The only object Of those republicans who
are booming his nomination is TO draw at
tentIon away from Gen. Harrison. But the
Harrisonians appear to have 80 much the
advantage of the ants that their opposition
will amount to but very little.

Senator Cockrell introduced a very pecu-
liar bill IN the Senate, Monday. "for the
free and unlimited coinage Of temporarily
correct silver dollar" The purport of the
bill is to have the President designate
every year the amount Of silver equivalent
in market value to the gold dollar, and to
have silver dollars minted at that rate. :"
As matter Of course no such measure will
receive serous consideration. The idea of
issuing dollar one year that may differ in
value with dollar issued the next year is
not worthy of attention. Under such an
arrangement the owner of silver coin would
never be able to know even the Temporary
value Of his back date money.

A petition was presented to the Methodist
general conference at Omaha day or two
ago, asking that daily religious paper be
established and run under the jurisdiction
of the bishops and the general conference.
The proposition will hardly be considered
seriously. An enterprise of the Kind can
not be made sef-supporting. That it would
be a continuous tax-and heavy one at
that-upon the conference can be demon
strated in few minutes by any practical
newspaper man. The people, even the
preachers themselves. would not support
such paper. The people who subscribe to
and pay for daily newspaper wish TO get
she news, and they will not pstronize a
paper that does not give all of the news.
Besides, there is a growing tendency on the
part Of the secular press to devote consider
able attention to religious matters, and to
treat every denomination impartially.

a Story OF Theodore Parker.

A prominent clergyman in Boston relates the
following story of Theodore Parker: Mr.
Parker was visiting near Washington, and
having occasion to preach one Sunday at the
capital asked his wife if she would not go with
him. She said she would not, as it was ex-
tremely stormy and she did not care to venture
out. But after the clergyman reached the
church he found in the congregation near
relative of his wife, who had long been away
and of whom Mrs. Parker was very fond
Knowing thathis wife would goto good deal of
trouble to see her re ative if she knew he was
there, DR.. Parker Immediately dismissed all
other thoughts from his mind and wired his
good lady to come TO the church. She was five
miles away; but. as her daughter afterwa I'd ex-
planned, she suddenly started up. declared ~
must go to church." and, in spite of remon-
strances. drove to Washington where she
arrived just as the service had finished, in time
to meet her relative.

The trial of the now famous Alice
Mitchell murder case will come off in Mem
phis some time next month. The enormous
amount of evidence and the great number
Of people to testify cannot be got together
earlier. The oninions of insanity experts
from Paris and elsewhere will be intro
duced. Local physicians will be put through
a series of questions, and evidence will be in
troduced showing that Miss Mitchell might
have inherited some insane inclinations. The
lawyers for the defense are said to be taking
no chances; they will stand or fall upon the
theory of present insanity. In the mean
time the young lady is spending her time
in jail. She seldom leaves her room, and
when she does, pauses only few moments
in the corridor. Her general health is said
to he good, and she takes as much interest
in the affairs of the world as any other per-
son. Her mother is her almost constant
companion.

A New-fashioned Girl.

From the Boston Journal
She'd a great and varied knowledge, picked
up at female college. OF quadratics, hydro
states and pneumatics, very vast;
She was stuffed with erudition as you stuff a
leather cushion, all the ologies of the col
leges. aud the knowledges of the past.
She had studied the old lexicons Of Peruvians
and Mexicans, their theology, anuhropology,
and geology. DER and DER;
She knew the forms ana features OF the prehis-
toric creatures ichthyosaurus, plesiosaurus,
megalosaurus, and many more.
She'd describe the ancient Tuscans and the
BasQues and the Etruscans, thsir g-iddles and
their kettles, and the vituals that they
gnawed;
She'd discuss the learned charmer. the theology
OF Brahmasa nd the scandals of the Vandals
and the sandals that they trod.
She knew all the mighty giants and the master
minds of science: all the learning that was
turning in the burning brain of man;
But she couldn't prepare dinner for a gauut
and hungry sinner, nor get up a decent sup
per for her poor voraciouS papa. for she
never was constructed on the old domestic
plan.

his popularity is needed than that he has
been twice elected governor of the repub-
