Ingalls, and Sam Jonca.

The spectacle of Hon. James In
gals and Rev. Sam Jones in coninnc
ton is calculated to rivet public ut
tcntion. These two remarkable mon
came together in Nashville, Tenn, a
day or two ago, and not since the
appearance of Tammany in perihelion
with Ward McAllister has there been
n show III any way comparable to it.
Mr.. Ingalls, has always been re-
garded as the highest type of the in
tellectual agnostic. Sam Jones has
impressed h'mself upon the genera
ton as the L ust perfect specimen of
religious raw material. Air. Ingalls,
is master of classic and polished
speech. Mr.. Jones rejoices in n
rhetoric that never trims it's hair or
wears necktie Mr.. Ingalls, debates
much as Launcelot o. Bedivere rode
in the lists at gallant,
shining, picturesque. Mr.. Jones,
disheveled, fierce, unkempt, argues
with the Beoetian club. Mr.. Ingalls,
exemplifies the arts Of the barber
the manicure, the tailor, and the
chef. MIR. Jones burns with COLI.

life and, as nearly as the law allows,

And yet Mr.. Ingalls, went to hear
Mr.. Jones preach, listened attentively
from beginning to end, and thei

that he indorsed every sentiment he
had uttered. They shook Nands,

if any conjunction equally grotesqne
could have occurred it would not

A Vodcrftis ser,,,oir,

''The most wonderful sermon I
ever heard" said a. business man to n
writer for the Pittsburg Dispatch,
"was delivered by a colored preacher
in South Carolina in q slave nen,
which was being utilized as q church
shortly after the war. I happened
to drop into the large gathering of
colored people one night, and was IN.
formed. thnt q new preacher wos
about to be tried. The minister
arose back of pulpit that had been
lmprovlsed from barrel turned bot.
tom upward, on which was q lighted
candle stuck in bottle. He began
to read the Bible, but stumbled at
every word, spelling some throughout
before pronouncing them.
A mali in the rear said: Go aheod
with your sermon, and the preacher
ceased reading. He stood up ct full
length, and in the dim, Pickering
light of the lone candle looked more
like IN nparition than n man. His
subject was The Judgment Here
came in chat wonderful imaginative
quality for which the colored race is
noted. In going about duling the
war, he had become imbued with the
military spirit, so he began by giving
vivid word pic: ure off the hosts Of
heaven, lying in in their tents asleep
the night before judgment day.
Then he worked up to point
where the bugle sounded to prepare
tor the descent upon tho sinful world.
lie pictured the heavenly hosts hur.
rledly running out Of their tonts to
form in line Of battle with the Great
Commander in front. Then he de-
scribed the stiffness that reigned
when all was ready, awaiting the com
mand to advance. BY this time the
whole congregation, including myself,
were sitting with nerves strained, ex-
cited in the extreme, and as the
preacher described the tramp, tramp,
tramp of the mighty host approach.
ing the earth, I.s.saw several terrified
members got down under the benches.
He then followed courier coming
from the distance who reported death
on white horse as having appeared
far away.
When the preacher described the
Commander detailing the squad of
his soldiers to go capture DEATH q
terrified moan came from the audi.
ence. Finally he brought the army
of heaven down to earth just before
day. break, and had them resting on
their arms awaiting Gabriel's trum.
pet. He pictured at length how quiet
everything was, and then putting his
hand to his mouth he initiated the
bugle call, which so terrified and com.
pletely unstrung his audience that the
greater portion of it arose hurriedly
and rushed out of the building. In
nll my life [ have never heard ser
mon that had such startling effect
upon the congregation.

The Scum I'm POlItlCH.

Farmers of the State, all of you
who have made sorghum syrup
know when the juice is put in the
kettles, as soon rs it begins to simmer
and BOIL. the fouIest scum comes tc
the tor. TO make clear and good
syrup the scum is promptly skimmet
off and thrown out. If that is not
done the scum will mix into the syrup
and ruin it. The same thing holds
good in political revolutions. We are
now experiencing that uncomfortable
condition. If you tlo not cast off and
send into merited obscurity the false
leaders you have been following blind.
ly, leaders who have promised you to
do many things if you would elect
thcm to Office, ond have not performed
single one, leaders who, to advance
their own interest, have done many
things they ought not to have done,
all of us sooner or lator will go down
into one common ruin. If you fail to
do your duty in that regard, nothing
can avert the dire disaster. 1t is
sure to come. Ellison Keitt in Cot.
ton Plant.
This is treason. Keitt and the
Cotton Plant will have to be sup.
planted.

1t would be al act of simple Justice
If these papers which are having SC
much to say at this time, about the
condition Of the United States Treas
ury, would publish n little more of
tie Truth, and state that it is no fault
of the present administration that
bonds had to be issued to get the
funds to run the government. But
1T is the sweet privilege of those who
are not drawing pay from the public
treasures to cliticiss, berate, and
belittle the management of those
who are using the taxes to pay their
grocery bills. All such things are
fired at the people year after year with
little prospect of change for the bet.
Ter. When the people are ont of pa
tience they meke n change of officers.
But we feel sure that tremendous
swell in the tide of commerce and
manufactures is going to come to tho
relief Of the democratic party before

He Pants for Fame.

A boy in the Wichita schools 10:
been suspended for reading the fol
lowing essay on "Pnnts:" "Pants
are made for men and not mem tol
pants. Such pants don't last. Pants
are like molasses; they are thinner in
hot weather and thicker in cold. The
man in the moon changes his pants
during tho eclipse. Don't you go to
the pantry for pants; YOU might be
mistaken. Men are often mistaken
in pants. Such mistakes make
breeches of promise. There has
been much discussion as . to whether
pants is singular or plural Seems
to us when men wear pants they are
plural, and when they don't wear any
pants it is singular. Men go on a
tear in their pants, and it is all right
