Home Again.

After an absence Of about twelve days, the
editor rejoices to find himself again at home
with his family and Church, having closed
very in erestng revival meeting conducted at
Abilene, Kansas, for the zion Baptis, Church,
of which Rev. ;. W. Beasley is pastor
And, to say the least of the meeting, it was
largely attended by the good people of Abb
lene, white and colored, all Of whom seem to
have taken equal interest in that grand and
noble work. l have never conducted meet
ing in which better feeling seems to have
existed between the two elements, namely,
the Negro and the Caucasian races. The
congregations were attentive, orderly and
graceful. And the interest continued to
grow even aato the soy last. And while
the result was not what we did hope for il TO
he in the way Of conversions, We rejoice to
know that few souls were saved. and conf
IDENTITY look forward yet to an abundant har-
vest, as the ina! outgrowth Of our work
there. Al The conclusion Of my services the
Church presented me with about SIS as a
compensation for services rendered

Colo, to the pastorate. Please
allow me to say should the church
be 50 successful as to secure the
service Of DR.. Olden, it is to be
congratulated upon securing the
services of such an eminent Di-
vine.
Rev. Olden was called to the
pastorate Of the Shiloh Baptist
church IN the year of 1884. When
he was called they had no
house Of worship, but he, through
his skill and his members rallying
to him, has been able to build one
OF the finest houses of worship in
the south; and when completed,
will cost (s5o,ooo) fifty thousand
dollars. He is considered to be
the best hnancier of the city, and
was able to raise more than $1,000
OF the above amount himself, out
side his church.
He is good citizen, true
Christian gentleman, and lover
OF his race, Heis intelligent and
possesses all the gracest that make
an eminent divine. And his loss
to Chattanooga will be Topeka's
gain. He will be missed much in
the community wherein he resided
lie paid our city pleasant call
last week, and before le'tving for
Denver, Colo, he was rendered a
grand reception at the Mt. Zion
church. n. c. H.

1t is an i'll wind that blows no
body good. Tuesday night, No
vember 9TH, the editor of the
HEADLIGHT was caught in the
midst of heavy storm, which
continued for about thirty-hve
minutes. At $50 p. m. he return
ed to the parsonage from prayer
service, and having quietly retired
to bed for a little repose; and
having fallen into a sound nap.
He was suddenly awakened and
startled by the hustle and rustic
of a terrible storm, being saluted
from every door and window of
the old building, by the familiar
notes of the old ode, Hoist the
window, hoist the window, let
the dove come in" He leaped
from the bed as quietly as posi-
bic, and half clad, sprang to the
door, and threw it open, to be
greeted with host of members
and friends of Shiloh and the Sec
ond Baptist churches, the process
sion being lead by Mr.. w. T. Nc
Knight and Mrs. BERTHE Gaines.
In a few minutes every room of
the parsonage was filled with the
cloud of participants, and the
rain begin to shower down upon
the dining table until she was al
most ready to yield under the bur
den. The shower contained a
compound of nearly everything in
the way of eatables and table
wares, such as sugar, coffee, salt,
pepper, tea, Irish potatoes, sweet
potatoes, soda, -four, meal, beans,
canned fruit, a wash tub, plates,
cups and saucers, and a great
many other things too numerous
to name.

Commentator.

Rev. w. H. McRidley, D. D.,
president Of the Cadiz Normal
and Theological College Of Ca
dlz, Trigg County, Ky, and an old
friend of the editor of the BAp-
fist HEADLIGHT, is doing a grand
work in southwestern Kentucky.
AS an educator he is abreast of
the times, and the people have
learned to reverence him for his
ability, earnestness, and untiring
perseverance in this grand work.
He is the founder of the above
named institution of learning,
which fills a long felt want in that
end OF the state This institution
IS becoming world renowned be-
cause of its work; and students
representing several states in the
Union, are now attending that
school.
Only few weeks ago, a new
-dormitory, known as the McRid-
ley dormltory, containing eleven
rooms, was completed and dedi-
Gated to God and to the work.
The following recommendation, a
clipping from the Kentucky
Weekly Telephone, will speak for
itself:
CADIZ NORMAL AND THEOLOGICAL
COLLEGE.
The above school, under its
present able manager, Rev. w, H.
McRldley, is steadily progressing
onward to permanency that is
encouraging to all who feel inter
ested in the educational and spir-
ituaI welfare Of the colored race.
On last Sunday the tWo-story
dormitory to this school, which
contains nine rooms and is sur
rounded by a campus of three
and one-half acres of ground, was
dedicated IN the presence of
large number of interested spec
tators, the services being conduct
ed by its founders, Elders Nc
0. Durrett, Of Princeton,
and Solomon Jones, Of Canton,
and other ministers Of the colored |
Baptist Church. There are now
enrolled at this school $50 stu
dents. The white associations
have been taking considerable no

Rolling Timber.

Spaniards dislike to fell trees or
cut live timber of any sort, and this
fact perhaps accounts for the giant
trees Of California. The Spaniards.
two centuries ago, pushed their way
through Mexico to California. and.
save the clearing of paths through
the dense forests, not twig did their
axes chop down. Nor do the Spaniards
transplanted TO this continent ever
destroy timber. With stubborn perth
naciouSness strangely at variance with
their lethargc dispositions, they con-
tlnue to build their houses of stone
and mortar at great expense Of money
and physical eXertion, when timber in
abundance surrounds them out Of
which they could construct log houses,
as did other pioneers, at a minimum
of cost and labor. Why, the Spaniard
doesn't even fell trees for frewood.
but picks up dead limbs as they fall
to the ground, or pulls them from the
trees with his lariat.

An Extensive Wardrobe.

The German Emperor has occasion
to change his costume oftener than
any mortal, including the modern
belle. He might arrive, for instance,
in Kiel, the chief German port Of
war, in travelling costume, reviewing
the marine in the uniform of a Ger.
man admiral, then visit the various
schools in civilians dress, dine on a
foreign man-of-war in the uniform of
an admiral Of its nationality, and in
the evening give reception in some
gala dress. For each of these occa-
sions different dress is absolutely
necessary, according to etiquette. He
has made as many as ten or twelve
changes in eighteen hours. His ward
robe has reached gigantic dimensionJ.
1t contains at present more than one
thousand costumes, divided into six
classes. The military costumes in
clude all the different uniforms of the
highest ranks Of the German army.
The court-dreSSes for great ceremonies
are classified, except the coronation
robes, with sceptre and crown, which
are taken care of specially, including
the uniforms of the different orders,
and the costume for the torch-light
polonaise at great festivals, which
is entirely of silk, with knee breeches
and gartered hose. The civilian gar
ments, among which the dress-suits
and walking-costumes of English cut
play leading part, contain every
piece Of dress that is worn by fash
ionable men at present. TO that
category belong also the incognito
dresses and the Freemasons' cos
TUNES. He has, besides, bathing,
riding, driving, sleighing and skat-
ing costumes, from the Tryolese to
the Russian fur-gear for bear-hunt-
ing. The so-called dresses of courtesy
include the uniforms of foreign regi.
ments whose honorary chief he is
besides the costumes he is obliged to
don in visiting foreign courts. Even
Chinese and japanese court-dresses
are not forgotten, and there is a dis
. play OF Persian garbs which the EN-
perOr wore during visit to the Shah.
All Of these costumes are duplicated,
in case of accident.

Literal Obedience.

Although the .Scotchman's sense of
humor may not be of the keenest-an
imputation which Sandy bitterly re-
sents, by the wayne is quick to turn
an adversary's weapon against him
self. A certain minister was noted
for his avarice. One morning he had
been driven by his man servant TO
the nearest station TO catch the first
train to Edinburgh. The obliging
porter at once began to assist the
man in disrosng of the baggage, tut
the minister. thinking he would ex-
pect a tip for doing what was only
his duty, told him somewhat snap
pishly to mind his own business
Some months later the minister had
occasion to 60 to Edinburgh again.
and as usual was driven to the station
In good time to catch the train. The
morning was very cold. and there be-
ing no waiting-room at that time at
the station, he went into the com
fortably heated lamp room. whore
the porter was engaged in cleaning
the lamps. Having seated himself.
he planted his feet on the hearth.
and became engrossed In book.
Presently his light rubter shoes be-
gan to be affected by their near prox-
iminity to the fire. The minister
felt the heat penetrating through his
boots, and taking his eyes from OF
the book. saw that the 0ycrsh0es had
nearly left him, and certainly would
be Of no further Use Looking up 10

person can sit in the chair in the
ordinary way or he can sit astride
and lean his arms on the shelf with
