Rev. T. Dewitt Talmage was in

and on last Monday was the guest of
Mr.. A. Il. Wimberly, the collector of
customs at that place, taking a ride
on that ~gentleman's private yacht.
Mr.. Wimberly was formerly a resident
of COffeeville and has a host of warm
friends in Grenada and in Yaloubsha
county, who rejoice to see him attain
ing to such a prominent position in
life. He has risen very rapidly since
going to the Crescent city and now
ranks as one of the leading politicians
of Louisiana. Though he is a repub-
lican and 1--we differ with him as to
politics, he is still the same pleasant,
affable and whole-souled Gus" VIM
berly as of yore and always has a glad
hand for his friends who call and see
him in New Orleans.

James Whitcomb Riley to the Rescue,

Il one won a case with one OF
James Whitcomb Riley's poems,' ~
says Congressman Brick, of Indiana,
who is a lawyer, ''and so l stand fol-
him. was defending a man charged
with stealing silk, and it looked SC
bad for him that l 4 decided on an APP.
peal to the jury. l did the best l could
with the evidence; but l banked most
on the fact that the defendant was g
young man with a wife and child, and
that it would go hard for all Of them
to have him go to the p%enitentiary
for a term Of years. My whole argu-
ment led up to the point where l
closed with Riley's little poem, Back
from a Two Years Sentence When
l finished the jury was in tears, and
even the Judge and the attorney for
the prosecution were affected. The
jury took just one ballot, and re-
turned a verdict of not guilty."

APPROPRIATIONS OVER FIVE MIL.
LIONS.

The legislature has surely been, to a
certain extent, mad on the subject OF
appropriations. Notwithstanding the
condition of business throughout the
state, and the low values of property
as a result of the financial depression,
the amounts of money voted for the
various purposes for the ensuing two
years will sum up more than So, O0O.-
600 This breaks all previous records
and will no doubt set the mark for
years to come. OF course the MAORI
ty Of these appropriations are right
and proper, but Others were needlesSly
%eXtravagant and uncalled for, save by
those Immediately interested. There
have been strong protests from some
of the leading papers in the state and
from a large share of the constituents.
but this seemed to have no weight
with the members. What the people
IA w iol oOlllC vi l'lt ultlllDtIS WHO
were so extremely liberal in their
views will be a plenty. In the Clar-
ion Ledger of Tuesday appeared a list
of the appropriations passed up to
that time. and several other items
weren named which were sure of pas
sage, and which would swell the
amount to the sum named above.
The SENTINEL believes in being lib
eral in the affairs of the state, and
has an utter dislike for parsimony and
stinginess, but there has been no good
reason for such extravaganza as has
characterized the acts of the present
body. A continuation Of such heavy
expenditures will inevitably result in
the forming two parties in the state
instead of having one as at present.

A Noted CoIored Divine.

In the current issue of the Chris
tian Herald, edited by Rev. T. De-
Witt Talmage, appears a picture of
n of the most eminent negroes in
the world, Bishop w. B. Derrick, of
the African NJ. e. church. This no
ted negro was in Grenada in January,
1899, and presided over aconference
here. He made a good impression on
the people of this place and was recog-
nized as a man of fine attachments.
He is to deliver a sermon at an early
date in Canterbury Cathedral in Lon
don, the occasion being the celebra-
tion of its three hundred and fifty
second anniversary by the Huguenot
church of England. He was chosen
for this great distinction out of a list
of four hundred distinguished divines.
Together with the picture appears an
interesting sketch of the Bishop.

THE MODERN KANDSHAKE.

The editor Of the SENTINEL be-
lieves in progress and advancement,
but every innovation introduced is
not an improvement on what has
been. Among such may be put the
up-to-date handshake, as practiced
by some devotees of society. We re-
Gently had the ~pleasure(?) of expe-
riencing this n~ew-fangled way Of
being greeted, a countefeit Of what
was a genuine pleasure, and our feel
ings were about as described by a
writer in one of our exchanges, who
says:
IF there is any one thing that is
calculated 20 make a cold chill run up
the spinal column of an ordinary NOR
tai, it is to meet an old friend, male
or female, whom he has not seen for
some time and to whom he hastens to
extend a hearty welcome, and instead
of the warm clasp which he antici-
pates, to be greeted by that new fang
led thing, called the stylish Hand
Shake" One generally makes sever
al attempts without finding the hand
he expected to clasp, and upon inves-
tigation he beholds it nearly opposite
the chest Of the owner, hanging like
neck of a dropping chicken. He is
too good hammered to refuse to shake
hands at all, so he reaches up and
takes hold. The hand responds with
a gentle clasp from the tips of the
fingers. He shakes the hand and
then let's go, feeling a sensation very
similar to that produced by shaking
the pulseless tail of a very dead snake.
He forgetS about how very glad he
was to see his friend. Our old fathers
and mothers and grandfathers and
grandmothers might have been old
fogies and behind the times in some
things but they did know how to
shake hands, and the way handed
down by them has not yet been i'm
proved upon"
