receive this great dig at their pockets?
Every attempt to raise revenue on
other things Of Importance is met with
opposition from favored interests. The
New York Evening Post says of the
republican dnkering:
'-Thte great and only economic prin-
ciple struck out by them thus far in
this congress is that no taxes must be
laid on any one unwilling 10 pay them
The beer tax would be an excellent
revenue tax, but the brewers say they
don't want TO pay it, 50 out Of the bill
it oes Similarly with the tax on tea
and on tobacco Mortified have
arisen to remark that constituents of
theirs would have TO pay these taxes;
and SO they are at once dropped with
apologies. Burke said il was impossible
to tax and TO please, but he did not
know our senator's"
The maneuvering of Aldrich, the
senate bill coacher, is amusing. He has
changed front more thar once, has
twisted and worrned and showed how
difficult the way was in which he was
treading. He proclaimed a policy when
he reported the bill, but he has beer
hedging and lodging ever since. What
he said was purely Pickwickian-only
that and nothing more.

Mr.. Eustis' Candid Critic

James T. Eustis, of louisiana. who is
returning from France to practise law in
New York. had an amusing experience
about the time he left the senate. which
he relates with much relish. He had re-
ceived an invitation to deliver a political
speech in an eastern state. and. having
prepared the speech with some care. took
his manuscript to a typewriting office TO
have a few copies made for the use Of
the press. When he called for the copies
the manager of the office. whom he knew
very we'll, congratulated him on the effort.
I'm glad you like it, replied the sena-
tor. It's a little tart, you see, but it's
to be delivered before a poular audience,
and 1 want to make the boys feel good
Il ought to be frank. senator replied
the manager, land tell you that l haven't
had time to read the speech myself, but
l can testify to its qualities from the
effect it had on the young woman who
made the copies. She is an ardent repub-
lican, and was in high dudgeon all the
way through. When she finished she
gave the machine a ~resounding thump,
and. gathering up the sheets, said to her
self, This is a string Of the biggest lies
I ever read in my life!' So. judging by the
opposition, sir, you nave scored heavily.
Mr.. Eustis enjoyed the story greatly
left his compliments for the young woman
and his regrets for having given her SC
annoying a half hour.-Neew YORK

IN LOVE WITH WILMINGTON.
A Correspondent of the Charlotte Obser.
yer Writes of the Attractions Of Our City
and Seaside.

Mr.. w. r. Terry, an old
man of Rockingham, writes as follows
to The Charlotte Observer un1er date
Of Wilmington, June Sth:
Again l find myself in the city by
the sea, the quaint and staid old sea-
port of North Carolina, where the
winds never to blow and fresh
fish and vegetables are plentiful and
cheap. I like Wilmington; with all
due respect for Charlotte l regard the
former as the chief city as we'll as
seaport Of the state. and although
there may be none to boom her, she'll
get there all the same.
The population of Wilmington is
about %, O~OO-SeVeral thousand more
than CharlOtte-and all, or nearly all.
DO not hold the same opinion as they
do IN the latter city, but a greater lib
erty of opinion is allowed. h color
line is not drawn here like it is in
Charlotte, but men are rather judged
according ID their real merits. Repub-
leans, in this city, as a rule, are re-
publicans from principle, whereas, as
a rule, in Charlotte, the white repub-
licans are renegade democrats, who are
republicans for revenue only and
who know nor care no more
about the principles of the republican
party than a dog does about The ten
commandments. | like Wilmington: al
ways did, and always expect to, until
[ cease to exist. 1t is certainly the most
delightful ummer. as we'll as minter
resort in the state, if not in the south.
The winters are mild and the summers
no exceedingly hottie extremes of
neat and cold being unknown here,
while the hOte! accommodations. both
in tho nJtX- apI OF thA 49,
beach, are certainly all that the most
sensitive and ~exacting epecurean could
wish. Large and cool rooms, with
DlllS of fare that equal, if they do not
excel, DelmonicO's in variety and agree
ableness to the palate. The principal
hotel is The Orion, centrally located
opposite the pOstoffice-the Purcell
being closed; but on Market street our
old n established friend Bonitz,
brother of the founder of The Messen-
ger, continues to preside over the
Bonitz House, and where good enough
fare and lodging may be found to suit
the average nan, at low rates. With
the low excursion rate from the up
country G2 from Charlotte to Whining
ton and return-Saturday morning to
Monday night), there is 10 excuse for
people sweltering in the up-country
when the cool salt water breezes are SO
quickly and easily accessible. Trains,
elegantly equipped, leave for, and re-
turn from, Wrightsville sound every
few minutes, while the safe, comfort
able and splendid steamer Wilmington,
Captain j. W. Harper in command, will
convey you to and return you from
Carolina Beach and Southport, ever
and anon, and almost for a song. Be
sides, if you wish to linger in the city,
you will find the belt line of electric
street cars all you could ask for-all
around the city for a nickel, taking in
Hilton park, and trips made every ten
minutes. Come to Wilmington and cool
off; take a run down to the sound or
beach and plunge into the salt water;
it cannot fail to do you good"

We have been of those who criticized
the late Professor Henry Drunmond's
books. We thought they were unsound
here and there, however ingenious, in
teresting and even beautiful. AS yet
we have found no occasion to change
our views of portions of his essays or
his books. Many people are better than
their creeds. Many very sincere, godly,
ConSecrated men and women have
found Christ and lived very close to
Him in unbroken fellowship and love
who still held as true some doctrines
rcpugnant to reason and were dishOn-
oring to God. They did this sincerely,
but ignorantly. Professor .DrummOnd
was a most sincere believer in the
atonement of the Son of God, and his
personal faith was better than his
written view. AT any rate, DR.. John
Watson clan Maclaren") believed him
to have been the most perfect Christian
he ever knew. A better witness is that
great evangelist, that most pious, use
full, holy man of God-one of the saints
Of earth-Mr. ID. l.. Moody. He has
paid such a sweet, noble tribute to
Drummond that we feel like never
writing a word more about his books.
1t is impossible to doubt Mr.. MoOdy's
testimony, for he had many oppor-
tunities for knowing DrummOnd. was
close to him in personal fellowship ard
friendship, and knew him when a stu
dent at a Scotch university. SO, with
perfect knowledge of the eminent
writer, he bears such testimony as but
few men, we suppose, could draw
from the godly evangelist. We max
a quotation or two. MT. Moody lately
wrote this:
you read what he terms the
analysis of love, you find that all its
ingredients were in his
daily life. making him one of the most
iovable men I have ever known. Was
it courtesy you looked for? He was a
perfect gentleman. Was it kindness?
He was always preferring another.
Was it humanity? He was simple and
not counting favor. 1t could be sale of
him truthfully, As it was said Of the
early Apostles, that men took knowl-
edge of him.. that he had been with
Jesus.
NOR was TINS love duu kiIluneSS Oily
shown to those who were his close
friends. His face was an index to his
inner life. 1t was genial and kind, and
made him like his Master, a favOrite
with children. Never have 1
heard Henry DrummOnd utter one un-
kind or harsh wOrd OF criticism against
any one. He vas a mar who was
filled with love for his fellOwmen, be-
cause he knew by experience something
Of the love of Christ"

Last Sunday we made a brief refer
ence to the visit Of the Rev John Wes-
lev to this country and his preaching
in Savannah. He also preached at
Charleston. The first MethOdist SER
NOR ever preached on this continent was
preached by Mr.. Wesley on 7th March,,
1876. Rev. DR.. w. J. Scott, writing of
IT in Ladies' Home Journal for June,
says that his congregation hardly ex-
ceeded 400 persons, including children
and adults. REINFORCED. however. by
100 or more of the neighboring Indians.
Wesley discussed in a most eloquent
n the principles of Christian
charity, as argued by st. Paul in the
thirteenth chapter of First Corinthians.
He made a powerful appeal, and many
of his audience were in tears. While
he was not so impetuous in his delivery
as in after years. his abilities at that
time bespoke the great preacher and
reformer." We have abundant evil
dence to show that he was every whit
as remarkable a preacher of the Word
as was that great evangelist. George
