DEPEW GOT UP. A SPEECH.

The death of the Rev. Thomas Btlwar,
Fermilye, who for fifty years was chap
lain of the New York ST Nicholas sovi
ETY., recalls an incident in which Il vel
known Brooklyn man and Cliauncev NJ
Depew figured. ..... "~
Dr.. Vermilye had for many years spo.

al dinner of the organization named
Some eleven years ago, and on the morn.
ing set for the banquet, he was taken ILL.,
ano notified the dinner committee that
he would be unable to make his wonted
oration.
AT 4 O'Clock on the appointed day De
pew entered the office o; John A. Nichols
at II Broadway, New York, wearing a
worried expression and perspiration-
bcdewed forehead.
"NicholS," he said, "I'm in fix and
want lou to help me out. These St.
Nicholas people have just wired me that
in the absence of DR.. Vermilyc they look
to me to respond to "Holland." | don't
know the first thing about the subject

"Well?" said Mr.. Nichols.
"Now,' went on Dcpew, .just you
take me by the arm and walk me IN
Broadway to Twenty third street. D ont
talk to me, and don't expect me to talk
to you. just steer me clear of the peo-
pie, mind don't get run over at the
crossings and go slow. That's all I want
you to do.'
Mr.. Nichols did as requested, and the
pair did not exchange a word until
Twenty third street was reached, at 5 :15
pm.
"Thankee,' SAID Depew as he parted
with his friend, 81 guess I'm all right
At 7:30 p. m. the first thing that the
eye of Mr.. Nichols met, as he sat down
at the dinner table, was the bland, IN.
ruffied, smoothly shaven face of Depew
The speech he made later is yet a de-
lightful tradition IN the annals of St

The Sabbatarlan View,

The Times has been more or less sew
ercly criticised for having opposed the
efforts of the Sabbatarians to close the
gates of the Worlds fair On Sunday or
the ground that it was intended to be the
initial step in movement "that would
not cease until every street car should be
stopped and every library, art gallery,
museum and public park closed on Sun
day." A brief review of the history of
the controversy will show the justice of
the Times position. In the debate on
the question of closing the Fair on Sun
day in the United States, Senator Pfeffer
of Kansas repeated the familiar Scriptu-
raj text "the Sabbath was made for man.
and not man for Sabbath" Whereupon
Senator Frye, of Maine, Republican-Pro
htbitionist and Sabbatarian, made the
following characteristic reply:
believe a good deal in the old Scotch
woman who heard that quotation once
She had become somewhat impoverished
SO that she was taking American tourists
to board. Below her house was little
lake. One Sunday she started to the
kirk. Looking down at the lake she
saw one of her American boarders in his
shirt sleeves pulling his boat. She i'm
mediately started for the lake, and, ar
irving there, peremptorily ordered him
to come in. He came in. She admins
tered a stinging rebuk: for his violation
OF Gods holy day. He immediately said
to her: "My good woman, does not the
Book Of all Books say that the Sabbath
was made for man, and not man for the
Sabbath day, and does it not say. too,
that Christ himself on the Sabbath day.

what it says about the Sabbath day be-
ing made for man, and not man for the

went we .ttll through the cornfeld and plucked
the corn and did eat it; but I never
thought it was much to His credit
Upon the lips Of an avowed infde,
like Col. Ingerson such speech woule
have justly been pronounced grossly If

BOTHOF THE SAME COLOR,
Clever stratagem Of a Lawyer to Turn the
Jury for His Client.

On one occasion at a conviviai party
| Daniel Webster and other distinguished
lawyers were present and the conversa-
tion happened to turn on the legal pro
tesslon. "When was a young practi-

Of whom I was afraid and that was old
Barnaby. There were but few men who

one occasion Barnaby was employed to

ponent being a little, mean. cunning law
yer named Bruce. Bruce's case was
looked upon as good as lost when it was
ascertained that Barnaby was retained
against him. The suit came on for trial.
and Barnaby found that Bruce had
worked hard and left no stone unturned
to gain the victory. The testimony for
the plaintiff was very strong, and unless
1t could be impeached the case of the de-
fendant was lost. The plaintiff wore a
red coat. In summing up for the de-
fense old Barnaby commenced furious
attack on the witness, pulling his testi-
mony all to pieces, and appealing to the
jury if man who wore red coat was,
under any circumstances, to be believed
'And who is the relocated witness.
exclaimed Barnaby, but a descendant of
our common enemy, who has striven to
take from us our liberty, and would not
hesitate now to deprive any poor man of
his land by making any sort of a red
coated statement
During this speech Bruce was walk
ing up and down the bar greatly excited
and convinced that his case was gone.
knowing as he did the prejudice of the
jury against anything British. While,
however, Barnaby was gesticulating and
leaning forward to the jury in his elo-
quent appeal, his shirt bosom opened
slightly, and Bruce accidentally disco
veced that Barnaby wore red under
shirt. Bruce's countenance frightened
up. Putting both hands in his coat
pockets, he walked to the bar with great
confidence, to the astonishment Of his
client and all lockers on. just as Bar
naby concluded Bruce whispered ia the
ear of his client, I've got him; your case
IS safe, and approaching the jury he
commenced his reply to the slaughtering
argument of his adversary. Bruce gave
a regular history of the ancestry of his
red coated witness, proving his patrio-
tism and devotion to the country and his
character for truth aud veracity.

fairly illustrates the religious and moral
standpoint of Senator Frye and the re: t
of the statesmen whovoted to restore the
Puritan Sabbath in this country. They
practically ignore the teachings of the
founders of Christianity, and go back to
the barbarous Sabbatarian code of the
ancient Jews as laid down in D,uteron-
omy and Leviticus. The Puritans did
not attempt to conceal their preference
for the old Testament to the discourses
of Jesus and the Epistles of the Apostles.
As aset-oH to Senator Frye's anecdote
let US quote from Macauley the follow
ing description of the Puritans. whose
policy the Maine Senator would be so
glad to restore in this country:
In defiance to the express and reiter-
ated declarations of Luther and Calvin,
they turned the weekly festival by which
the church had, from the primitive timesE
commemorated the Resurrection of her
Lord into aJcwish Sabbath. They sought
for principles of jurisprudence in the
Mosaic law, and for precedents to guiCe
their ordinary conduct in the Books of
Kings and Judges. Their thoughts and
discourses ran much on acts, which were
ass1rcdly not recorded as examples for
our imitation. The prophet who hewed
in pieces captive King, the rebel ger.
eral who gave the blood of queen 10
the dogs, the matron who, in defiance of
plighted faith and of the laws of Eastern
hospitality, drove the nails into the fuci,
tive ally who had first fed at her board,
and who was sleeping under the shadow
of her tent, were proposed as models of
Christian suffering under the tyranny of
princes and prel"tcs. Morals and man.
ners were subjected to code resent bling
that of the synagogue when the syna-
gogue was in it's worst state The dress
the department, the language, the stud
les. the amusements of the rigid sect, were
regulated on principles not unlike those
Of the Pharisees, who, proud of their
washed hands and broad phylacteries,
taunted the Redeemcr as a Sabbath
breaker and wine bibber. It was sin
to hang garlands on Maypole, to drink
to friends health, to fly hawk, to
hunt a stag, to play at chess, to wear love
locks, to put starch in a ruff, to touch
the virginals, to read the ''Faerie Queen"
There is more of this exquisite picture
of the Ancient Puritans, whose tyrannic-
al spirit survives the loss of their earn
est faith and sincerity. There is no
doubt that Senator Frye and his col
leagues agree with the good Scotch wom-
an, both as to the sin of the American
tourist who rowed boat on Sunday and
| as to the character of Jesus. He said as
much. Nor is there any doubt that the
gocdScotch woman would fully agree with
Senator Frye and the rest of the Sena-
tOrial Sabbatarians that it would be a
heinous sin to open the gates of the Chi
cago Exposition on Sunday. But the
arguments for SO narrow and illiberal
a creed can only be drawn from the doc
1rines and policy of the Sabbatarians of
the Seventh Century and their Jewish
prctotypes.-Minneapolis Times.

THE AVIS
Cheistiaasted, St. Cseix,
Saturday, 14th January 1898.

"Tha Louisiana Planters Association held
. meeting on the 9Th December After pass
ing a resolution that q meeting of the Assocl"-
ton should be called by the President, when
necessary to consider the laws controlling SUI
gar production, the laws in view being Of course
those connected with the bounty, the meeting
proceeded to q sort Of general chat on the
sugar industry. 1t appearedthat no papers
we're to be read, and the Chairman remarked
that "the very worthy director OF the Sugar
Experimental Station was present and II he
would tell the meeting what was going on up
there all would be very much ~gratihrd to hear
him. !" The director DR.. Stubs ,ex pressed his rea-
diness to give the results of experiments at the
station for the benefit Of the planters, and
proceeded to speak Of several matters, some OF
which are of no interest to tropical cane
growers, others being OF interest wherever
sugar canes are grown. There was a good
deal about diffusion. To keep up a high tenn
perature in the cells, to empty them rapidly
and 80. supply them with very thin chips,
seemed to be the chief points which the ex-
periments were bringing out. DR.. Stubs
smoke of the microbes that infest cane juice
and are found at the mill az we'll as IN moist
sugar. They cause great loss in moist sugar,
by changing the portion affected first into a
gum and then into adirty brown liquid that
drains from the. sugar. In answer to a planter
DR.. stubbs said that the microbes did not
destroy dry sugar.
Among other things talked Of was a new 6
roller mill that extracted over so per cent of
Juice. It was further mentioned that q nine-
roller mill had been erected on a plantation
named Cora" and had given from 81 to SO
srcent of the weight of the canes in juice.
We would commend the report of the meet
ing, of which we have given only a very mea-
gre sketch, to the attention of our planters.
The LouisianG Planter is q journal that
ought to be in the hands of every practical
man, and the cost Of getting into his. hands Is
only 81 a year.

The weather for 1892 was all that the
planter could have ordered for himself. If
now and then there was too much rain here
and there the bright sunshine soon appeared
to compensate, and we doubt whether in any
parish or district the planter now bewails
excessive rains. The appearance of the cane
fields during the closing days of December
has bsen seldom equall'i, never snrpass
ed. Such a display of fea'hery arrows has
never, to our knowledgA been Witnessed in
Barbados, and the young canes planted are y
Joy to behold. In every direction here seem,
to us to be a psalmo of praise ascending to heaven
the earth is full Of the goodness of the Lord.
This promise of a large crop in 1898 is ali
the more encouraging when we learn from
England and America that the stock Of sugar
is smaller than usual and.tbe prices arc safe to
be better in 1898 than they have bsen for
some time-a o~onsummation that we sincere
ly hope will be realised. CT be,
