Phillins Brooks. the Great Preacher.

The most striking pulpit orator Of the
ago has just died and as much is now
said about the decline of the pulpit, and
the loss of ministerial influence, it is in
teresting to study the cause of the Won
derful power of Bishop Brooks. We,
therefore, publish an elaborate analysis
of his character and style, and also add
here short extract from an able article
in the Christian at Work. Bishop Brooks
was an Episcopalian but it has been we'll
said that "his loss was greater to the rest
of the world than to his own Church :"
ellis faith and hope were contagious.
He maintained that unbelief made men
weak, and that belief made them strong.
His panacea for the ills and enigmas and
miseries of humanity was not to preach
the doctrines of theology but to exhibit
the lite of Christ. Christian life trans
forming the conduct and issuing into
helpfuIness for the wretched victim of sin
was in his estimation more essential than
creeds. Centered in this life himself he
remained singularly unworldly and child
like notwithstanding all the honors
thrown at his feet Here was a soul suf-
fciently humble to be superior to the
pride of place."

Machinists' Trade.

Every practical man is often asked by
persons in other professions as to the ad-
visibility of having their sons taught,
and, if trade, what trade? The Manu-.
facturers' Record we'll says: No matter
what may be the social development of
the near future, whether the present
order of society shall be conserved or
new order shall be inaugurated, it is
advisable that every boy shall be able to
support himself by his hands, and do it
as we'll as he can, by having them trained
to the greatest skill they are capable of
acquiring; for, if there be no change in
the order of classes of society as they now
exist, there may be changes in the cir
cumstances of the Individual, so that one
who to day adorEs the summit of the
highest class in society may next year dis
grace the calling of bcggar by failure
to make it support him. This condition
is of such frequent occurrence that it may
be said to stand across the future of every
man as rather more than possibility.
AOuCO, d man W0F0 ulaSt0F Ol any
modern trade no circumstance could fall
upon him hard enough to crush him.
Therefore, trade should be considered
a necessity to any man in any condition.
The trade to teach a boy is often difficult
TO decide, but to the right boy the ma>
chinists' trade is the best, for in the fu-
ture, if advance continues to be made on
present lines, all things will be made by
machinery and all workmen will either
be machine makers, or machine tenders
A machine maker must be very skillful,
but machine tender may need but little
skill and may command inferior pay !;
hence, it is fair to assume that the skilled
machinist will maintain his superiority
hereafter as in the past. AS an art ma
chine building has no equal; it rests
solidly on the necessities of the human
race, it extends above all other arts and
demands of science its most perfect work.

JUDGE HOWELL e. JACKSON, of Ten
nessee, nominated by President Harrison
to succeed Judge Lamar on the United
States Supreme bench, is Democrat, 81
years of age, who was appointed United
States District Judge for the Western
District of Tennessee, by President
Cleveland.
Two reasons are given by the Chatta-
nooga Times for the nomination of
Judge Jackson to the Supreme court
bench:
"First, that the President desires to
make a place for his law partner, and
Attorney General, Mr.. Miller, who would
be made judge of circuit which takes
in the field Of the Presidents law
practice.
"Second, to get Judge Jackson out of
the way so that partisan use can be
made of election machinery and so that
Republicans can be placed in all Offices
within the appointing power of the circuit
iudge.''

THE newspapers of the South are now
discussing the cotton acreage. The far
mer is advised not to allow the recent ad-
vance in the price of cotton TO persuade
him to increase his acreage. "It is to be
hoped" says the New Orleans Times
Democrat in discussing the matter, "that
some means will be found to bring the
matter to the attention of the farmers
before the planting is completed. The
South narrowly escaped serious financial
difficulty last year in consequence of the
depressed condition of cotton. It will
soon drift back to a big acreage. The
matter must be brought before the far
mers in an impressive and convincing
way"

THE Yorkville Enquirer understands it
"The North Carolina Senate, by vote
of 27 to 5, has rejected bill to provide
the courts with official stenographers.
This is the most pennywise and pound
foolish policy imaginable. The steno-
grapher enables the court to do just twice
as much work in given time as can be
done without him, and be saves the public
ten times his salary every day. How
men OF the intelligence supposed to be
possessed by State Senators, should take
such position on this question, is indeed
remarkable"

The result of the conferences between
the States representatives and those of
the Wilmington & Weldon Railroad is an
absolute and unqualified surrender by the
road of all exemptions and privileges and
the placing of the road upon the same
footing as all other property in the State.
This is the railroads proposition but the
State has made it go further and agree to
settle in full all taxes for 1890, 1891 and
1892. A bill has been drafted. Of course
the Legislature is to act upon all these
matters and will do so with great care,
the interest being remarkable.
The question is asked what will be the
annual tax on the Wilmington & Weldon
road. The value of the taxable property,
as given your correspondent by an official
here, is about S7,00O,O 900. The taxes,
State, county and municipal, on this will
be at the rate of about 85 cents on the
800 valuation, thus approximating $780,
900 annually. The State tax is % cents
on the S100
The tax exemptions which the bill will
abolish are as follows: Cheraw & Sails
bury Railroad, Is miles Of roadbed in
North Carolina; total value, $50, 900.
The North Carolina Railroad, 226 miles,
at So, 1000 per mile total value, $1,8O8,
900. Of this one fourth is the property
of private stockholders, or $452, 900. The
Wilmington & Weldon Railroad, 152
miles Of the main line, from Halifax to
Wilmington, at $4,000 per mile, total
of 81 500, 900.
