DR.. LYMAN BEECHER.
The Great Preachers Peculiar Habits In
Preparing His Sermons.

Preparing His Sermons.
Dr. Lyman Beechcr's peculiar habits,
shown by his method of preparing SER
mons, are illustrated in Annie Fields
latest book, The Life and Letters Of
Harriet Beecher Stowe. " III her words:
eff he was to preach III the evening,
he was to be sncn all day talking with
whoever would talk, accessible to all,
full Of everylodys affairs, business aud
burdens, till an hour on rwo before the
time, when he would rush up into his
study (Which he& ways preferred should
be the topmost rooH of the bousc), and,
throwing off his coat, alter swing or
two with the dnnbbells to settle the
balance OF bis muscles, he would sit
down and dash ahead, making quanti-
ties Of hieroglyphio notes Oh small stub
bed bits of paper about rs big as the
palm of his hand The bells would be-
gin to ring, and still he would write.
They would toll loud and long, and his
wife would say, lie will certainly be
late, and then would be running up
and down stairs of messengers TO SEQ
that he was finished, ill., just as tho
last stroke of the bell WAS dying away,
he would emerge from the study with
his coat very much awry and come
down the stairs like II hurricane, stand
impatiently protesting while female
hands that ever lay III wait adjusted his
cravat and settled his coat collar, call
ing loudly the while for u pin to fasten
together the studied littlo bits OF paper
! aforesaid, which being duly dropped
into the crown of his hat and hooking
wife or daughter like satchcl on his
arm, away he would start on such
race through the streets as left neither
brain nor breath till tho church was
gained Then came the process of get
ting in through crowded aislcs wedged
up with heads, the hustle and stir and
hush to look at him as, with matter
of fact, busilcsslikc push, he elbowed
his way through them and up Che pulpit
stairs -

two officers and detachment of enlisted
men of Signal Corps.
The 1St Inf. is the regiment in camp on
Picnic Island, which contains not more
than eight acres of dry land, or sand 1t is
quite tmckly shaded, and as the breezes
from the bay have full sweep over it, it is
not at all a bad place. The trains run
down across narrow arm of the bay at low
water. The supply of fresh water is fur
nished daily by rail, in tank cars, there
being a ''Y" of track to the spot.
The 9th Cav. and all the batteries are in
camp on the mainland not far from the
place described, and near the railroad lead
ing to the Port. They have no shade, and
the camp has a baked and comfortless ap-
pearance.
The infantry brigades are camped north
east of town on "the Nights" Located in
groves OF pine and live-oak, they are quite
picturesque IN appearance, and comfort
able, though if occupied for a long time the
sand Will become a nuisance.
