complished in the way of obtaining de-
sirable Immigrants from Europe for Mary
land If some ono able to speak with the
Immigrants In their own tongue would go

confer with them as they arrive. He
says that several States nave special

that several Southern States are begin

ing just now in large ship loads. South
Carolina, especially, he tells us, Is spend
ing great deal OF money in that drcc-
ton and apparently with much success.
That State maintains at No. 30 Wall
Street an office with regular force Of
clerks and agents who get many for

large land owners Of the State to divide
their property into small lots of twenty
acres, which they sell to Immigrants, CIV

The Test Of Thomas.

SELECTED for The Times-Dispatch.)
And after eight days again His dis
ciples were Within. and Thomas was with
them; then came Jesus. the doors being
shut, and stood in the midst8and said ::
Peace be unto YOU Then saith He to
Thomas: Reach hither thy finger and
behold Ny hands, and reach hlther thy
hand and thrust 1t into My side. and be
not faithess. but believing. And, Thomas
answered and said unto Him: My Lord
and my Cod Jesus saith unto him
Thomas, because thou hast seen Me. thou
hast believed; blessed are they that have
not seen, and yet have believed. st.
John xx:26-29.
On the evening of the day of rcsurrec-
ton the disciples were once more gath
cred together. But the event which had
restored hope to their hearts they feared
might excite the authorities and lead
to their arrest. They therefore, care
fully closed the doors, that some time for
parley or escape might be available. 4
10 their establishment and delight, while
they were sitting behind the fastened
doors, the we'll known figure OF their
Lord appeared. His familiar greeting.
a"Pence be with YOU" sounded in their
ears. Further to identify, Himself and
remove all doubt or dread, He showed
them His hands and His side and even
ate before them.
There was a strange mngling Of iden-
tity and yet difference between tho body
He now wears and that which had been
cruci1cd. Its appearance is tho same in
some respects, but its properties are diff
ferent. Immediate recognition did not al
ways follow His manifestation There
was something battling about Him, sug-
costing a we'll known face and yet not
quite the same. The marks on the body
or some characteristic action or utter
ance were needed to complete the per-
feet Identification.
He could and did eat speak and walk
as before and yet He could dispense
with eating and could pass and repass
through physical obstacles. His body was
a glorihed spiritual body, not any longer
subject to the laws which govern us.
These characteristics arc worth noticing,
not only as giving US some idea of the
type of body we shall wear, but In con-
neclon with the complete identification
of the risen Lord.
When He appeared on that Easter night
to His disciples one OF them was absent,
II was Thomas, commonly known as Didy-
mus, the Twin. From what We are told
of him, on other occasions. he seems 10

Cheerfu1ness.

General Fitzhugh Lee was u man OF
more than ordinary intelligence, a man
of strong mind and strong convictions,
and In any event he would have been
a man of prominence. But his UNIVERSAL
popularity was duo in great part to his
AVAILABILITY and his cheerfulness. Flo never
complained: he made 1t a point, no matter
what the situation, to keep his heart free
from bitterncss to wear smile upon his
face, and to carry with him the air OIL
good cheer and good fellowship. He made
1t a point to be agreeable on all occa-
sions, and his geniality was not assumed.
He was friendly with all mankind, even
with the soldiers Of the North whom
he had met upon many field OF battle,
and all knewithat his smile was genuine
and his cordially sincere.
Thackeray has said that the world IS
like big looklng-glass, showing each
man his own imagea frown at it and It
will frown back at you; laugh at It and md
with 1t and 1t is a Jolly good companion.
That was General Lees motto and Cen
eral Lees philosophy. He felt kindly
toward the world; he treated the world
Kindly and cordially, and the world re-
ceived his overtures in the same spirit,
and was equally kind and cordial toward
him.
But something more: a famous sur

e,ll than in the closing years Of his life.
Only recently he said that he would
never grow old, and he did not grow old.
In all his ways he was as young at
sixty-seven as he was at forty-seven, and
would not permit himself to be laid on
the shelf. a man is as old as he feels,
says the proverb. and as General Lee
never felt DID, he never grew old. He
kept abreast of the times, and would
not allow himself to become a back
number.
But after all, "As man thnketh in
his heart so he Isl General Lee kept
his heart free from malice and full Of
gentleness and good cheer. and SO the
whole current of his life was clear and
sweet. In many ways he was an exem-
plar, but in this respect was his most
noble example.

"A Judges, Opinion Of the Mann
Jaw

We publish in amother column an arti-
Gle on the Mann law, written by q prom
inent circuit court Judge in Virginia. The
article was not written for publication,
hut it Il so interesting and instructive
that We thke tho 1iberty of giving it to
the public,
Our correspondent declares that the
saloon in the unpr,ot ccted districts Of the
country Is an insMfierable nuisance, and
that it ought not ITO be established at
such points by the dictum of ono man.
unless it clearly appears that the people
of that community have no objections
4 to offer. II am sure" he adds, III you
heard some OF the Testimony have been
Obliged to lis ten to about these bar-rooms
and country communities you would have
no heshancy in saying that the burden
OF proving that such an institution Is
desired by the local community should
be upon the applicant for license" He
expresses the opinion that the Mann law
is wise in allowing the Judge great latl-
tude Of construction, without appeal from
his decision. He also approves that fea-
turc OF the law which increases the IL
cense tax and requires the distillers to
apply for license 10 the court and give
the court supervision over their business.
The Times dispatch has raised no OBJ
lection to any Of these phases Of the
Manu- law. We arc willing that all sa-
looms be legislated out of existence in
the rural districts, and that no saloons
be opened except by, vote Of q majority
of the people Of the locality concerned;
VIC. are willing to give the judge wide lat
tiic in granting or Withholding licenses,
ana we are willing hat tho license tax
shall be high. But we are opposed to
any attempt to enforce prohibition in a
community where public sentiment is
clearly against It. The Mann law pro
vides that before granting a license the
Judge shall satisfy himself that a majority
of the voters In the district are in favor
of saloons. SO far. so good But We in
sist that petition is no fair method Of
testing public sentiment. "A petition in
such a case is in the nature not only of a
viva voce vote. but Of recorded vote, and
because a majority of the voters In any
community refuse to sign a petition for
the opening OF saloon, 1T by no means
follows that a.anajority Of such voters
arc in favor. 'of ..prohlbiton. The only
fair way to test public sentiment on this
question or any other question is through
the medium OF the secret ballot.
If the people Of any community are
opposed to saloons. it should be their
privilege to keep them out. But bcfor
an attempt is made under tho Mann law
or any other law to enforce prohibition
in any community. 1t should be ascer-
tanned beyond peradventure that public
sentiment is clearly in favor of prohi-
bition. Otherwise the law will not be
enforced. liquor will be sold in spite of
It. blind tigers will flourish. and the law
will fall into contempt The liquor traf-
fic is bad enough. but the Generalization
which follows contempt of law Is worse.
