.LIon. eeo. &. VlendIIng 5 Lecture.

/ II
Mr.. WendIing is ono Of the great
l.lecturers of this country. Go where
you may, people want to hear Of
stonewall jackson. Our people
wanted to hear Mr.. w. for his repu-
tation. They wanted to hear again
the familiar story of jackson. They
were especially curious to hear what
would be said of theirloved leader by
a gifted man who was reared and
lived long in Illinois. The night was
very cold, but the people came, some
of them from distance in the coun-
try, expecting much. They got all
they came for. They were delighted.
They were thrilled. They were
spell-bound. for more than an hour,
by one of the purest and noblest lee
lures heard here for many years.
The fulIness and accuracy of Mr..
WIS knowledge of his subject sur
prised us: his language was simple.
elegant beyond description, his style
beautifully pictorial: his rhetoric
faultless. One feature which per-
haps more than any other that left
the vivid impression was the speak
er'sreyerance for the exalted christian
character of Gen'l. jackson, and for
the all-wise providence which raised
him up and so wonderfully fitted him
for the accomplishment of the di-
vine purpose. How was this shown?
Slavery, he said, was " a-mere epis-
ode of the war; In old England
Puritans and Cavaliers had learned
to hate each other. These hatreds
and corresponding differences were
brought by them to this country, and
distinguished Plymouth Rock from
jamestown. They produced the in
evitable conflict, and a great upheaval
was necessary to harmonic and
amalgamate them. God mcnt to
amalgamate them into a new type
of man, the American. even as he
had amalgamated Norman and Sax
on and produced the Engltshman.-
InJackson thegood points of both par
ties were strangely combined, and
hence he was the great central forss
in the upheavel that would produce
1
the concord and the type of what sort
of man theAmerican citizen is to be-
come.
Whatever slavery may have been to
the war, it is certain that this lecture
was memorable ''episode' to the
people who fiIledWashington Hall last
Tuesday night.

UNIQUE COAST DEFENDER.
The Armor-Plated Ram Katahdln
Launched at Bath, Me.

The twin-screw. armor-plated harbor de-
Tense ram Kathadin, built upon the design
of Rear-Admiral Ammen, was launched a
few days ago from the yards of the Bath
(Me) Iron Works General Hyde, Of the
works. was the host of the occasion.
Among those present were: Assistant
Secretary of the Navy Solely. Miss Solely,
Senators Hale and Frye and "Deacon" S. V.
White, of New York The Cramps sent re-
grets. The Maine Legislature was present
in body. Rear-Admiral Almen was pre-
vented by illness from attending. Miss Solely
christened the vessel.
The peculiar feature of the new ram con-
sists of number OF tanks which when filed
with air give her convenient freeboard for
coasting service but when filled with water
they depress her so that her turtle-back deck
is awash. Sheis intended purely as weapon
of offense against an attacking feet, and her
mission will be to sink battle ships or cruis-
ers. She will mount only few small guns
of rapid-fring pattern. intended to keep
off torpedo boats.
The lower portion of the hull is dish-shape
up to short knuckle which runs all around
the vessel six inches below the normal water
line Above this knuckle the shape of the
hull is circular arc. This curve deck will
be armor plated throughout. Above this
deck when the ram is completed, will rise
only a coming tower, smokestack and
ventilator.
The quarters for officers and crew are all
within the armored hull and they will be
fitted with complete system of electric
lighting, artificial ventilation ana drainage.
