Not Hiring Any Generals.

Ever sinceE,tbe war some of the
privates have told with great relish
of the old farmer near Appomattox
who decided to give employment,
after the surrender, to any of Lees
veterans who might wish to work q
few days for food and small wages.
He divided the Confederate en-
ployees into squads according, to the
respective ranks held by them in the
army. He was uneducated, but en-
tirely loyal to the Southern cause.
A neighbor inquired of him as to
the different Squads. "Who are
those mems working there?" he
asked.
"Them is privates, sir-privates of
Lees army"
"Well, how do they work? ?"
every fine, sir +; first-rate workers"
"Who sare those in the second
group
"Them is lieutenants and captains,
and they work fairly well, but not as
good workers as the privates
"I see you. have third squad. Who
are they ?"
"Them is colonels."
"Well, what about the colonels
How do they work?"
"Now, neighbor, you'll never hear
me say one word ag'in any man who
fit in the Southern army but
amt a-gwine to hire no generals. p

Pulpit Orators Of Modern Tines,

Dwigh. L. Moody was born
leader of men. That he was a
shrewd judge Of his fellows he
showed by the unerring sagacity
With which ne selected his lieuten-
ants. The attractiveness and strength
of his personality must have been
great or he could not have drawn to
himself and secured the confidence
of cultured, intellectual aristoorats
such as Henry Drummond, and keen,
solid business men such as John
Wannamaker, of Philadelphia. His
capacity as an organizer is proved
by the Northfeld Seminary, the
Mount Hermon School for Boys, the
Chicago Training School, the system
of preaching and colportsge in pri-
sons, the Publishing establishments
in Chicago and at Nortbfield, Mass,
the annual conferences of clergy
men at Northfeld, and numerous
other institutions which he founded
or to which he gave strong impetus.
"The Won Moltke of the religious
world in the United States" was the
title the Rev. f. b. Meyer gave him.
"The Wellington of the evangelist
army" he was called by John Nc
Neil, the Scotch evangelist.
\ The main source of Mr.. Moody's
success as religious leader, how
ever, was his ability as a speaker.
He was not an orator in the mar
rover sense of that term. His SER
mons were not polished, they were
not always grammatical, they were
unadorned by poetical quotation or
historical allusion, they were not
philosophical, they were not logical.
Bot they had that which from the
standpoint of the orator, compensates
for these defects-they had the
power to fascinate men and impel
them in the direction the speaker
wanted them to 60. How many tens
of thousands were strongly influ-
enced in their characters and lives
by Mr.. Moody, it would be futile to
conjecture. 1t is estimated, how
ever, that he addressed, during his
long career as an evangelist, more
than 50,00O,0O0 people. The voice of
no other pulpit orator, except, per-
haps, Whitefield, was ever heard by
80 many persons. Whitefield sur
passed Moody in the power of work
ing upon the emotions of his hearers,
but the permanent results achieved
by Moody greatly exceeded those
secured by the earlier evangelist.
Moody was clerk in a shoe store
in Boston when he was converted
and joined the Congregational
church. After his removal to Chi
cago, in 1856, he engaged actively
in Sunday school mission work, and
gathered about him a Sunday school
of more than 1000 pupils. During
the civil war he was connected with
the Christian commission. He later
became general missionary of the
Y 'ng Mems Christian Association
the real leader of that organiza-
u. in the United States. The
church he built for his Sunday
school and for the converts he had
made being destroyed by the great
fire in 1871, he erected the Chicago
tabernacle.
He had been engaged for some
time in evangelistic work. In 1878
he and his singing colaborer, Ira ID.

Master Of His Grain.

Among the immigrants awaiting
examination at Ellis Island was a tall
young fellow with little black bag
under his arm. He was Pole,
about twenty years old, and his ad-
mission was pleasing and dramatic
accident. The Lesson it teaches is as
good for native Americans as for i'm
migrants.
When the young mans turn came
to answer the inevitable question,
"How much money have your" he
smiled and answered frankly, "None."
"But don't you know you can't
come in here if you have no money
and no friend to speak tor youp
Where are you going" ?"
"To Fall River first. / have a
friend there. Then / shall see the
whole country. You will hear of
me-"
The Inspector proceeded rather
sharply: "How pHlyou get to Fall
River! Where " YOU eat and
sleep tonight?
81 shall he all right" replied the
young fellow, confidently. "With
this" tapping the black bag, 81 can
go anywhere"
"What is it?"
The Pole laughed, and opening the
bag, took out cornet. 1t was fine
instrument, and gave evidence of
loving care.
"Can you play it well?" asked the
officer, more kindly.
In answer, the young Pole stepped
out in an open space, and lifted the
horn to his lips and began the beau
tiful intermezzo from "Cavalleria
Rusticana." AT the very first note
every one in the great building stood
still and listened. The long line of
immigrants became motionless. The
forlorn walters in the pit looked up
and their faces became tender. Even
the meanest among them seemed to
feel the charm of the pleading notes.
When the music ceased there was
a. burst of applause. Shouts of
"Bravo" "Good boy!" "Give US
some more !" came from every side.
The physicians who had few mo-
ments before made their hurried
and not over gentle examination
joined in applause. The officer who
had questioned him 80 sharply
slapped him on the back. The COM
missioner himself had come up from
his Office at the sound of the horn,
and asked for the particulars.
When he heard them he turned to
the agent of the Fall River boat and
said, "Give this fellow passage, in
Guiding meals, and charge it to me"
81 will charge it to myself" said
the agent, and he took the young
Pole by the arm and led him away
The incident was a sermon on COM
petence; lesson on whal it means
to be master. The trade may be
music or farming or brick laying-it
does not matter. The man who has
conquered it, who knows it's root and
branch can point to it as confidently
as the young Pole pointed to his cor
net and say, as he did, "With this
can go anywhere" e."-Scribner's Maga-
zine.

WATTS GETS EIGHTEEN YEARS.

On Friday, Judge Jones sentenced wife
murderer Edward c. Watts to term Of
IS years in the Maryland Penitentiary.
In passing sentence the Judge said:
Your case, Watts, has given the court
a great deal of trouble, in a long trial,
but we were careful all through to secure
a full, fair and impartial hearing, being
indulgent even beyond the rule in such
cases Your crime was most deliberate
and cold blooded, the limit in brutality
and fiendishness, calling for punishment
laid on with heavy hand. The court
has no sympathy with you in any phase
of your awful crime, which was COM
mitted i'll perfect responsibility. You are
sentenced to the Maryland penitentiary
for IS years.
Watts case was one of the most expen-
pensive ones in the history of the state.
He has been twice tried, first in Hartford,
where he was convicted and sentenced to
be hanged, the second time being in
Howard county. The verdict of the jury
is practical victory for the defense as the
accused's lawyers had offered to enter the
plea of guilty of murder in the second
degree which the state refused to accept.
MIR. John S. Young of the Bel Air bar,
was one of the counsel for the accused.

The store and dwelling house OF Mr.
/. w Thompson at Dublin caught fire
about II O'Clock Tuesday morning and
before long was totally destroyed. The
flames are supposed to have originated
from a defective fue. 1t started in one
of the upper floors. BY hard work some
of the household furniture and store
goods were saved with the assistance OF
neighbors The building was formerly
the Dublin Hotel and years ago was the
scene of many public gatherings. Mr.
Thompson had lately remodelled it at
considerable expense. The building was
insured in the Hartford Company for

This will not make good the loss which

interest of locating the encampment here
next Summer. The grounds particular
~ inspected are SlIudleu near % llulIl anu
belong to Mr.. Joseph T. Deckman. 1t
will require about 100 acres to accomo-
date the officers and men. 1t is stated
that the United States Army may con-
tribute several batteries of light artillery
and adetachment of cavalry. The officers
gave no indication as to their views but |
asked for an estimate of the cost of the |
grounds and the expense of piping water |
from the main of the Bel Air Water Com
panv. The encampment that was here
two years age brought a good deal of
life into the county and was every way
a pleasing event long to be remembered. |
At first there was an opposition made
by some of our residents as they feared |
that an aggregation of so many men
would include Objectionable characters.
Experience proved however that they
were mistaken. The order of the town
was perfect and every one was so much
pleased that should the Governor decide
to again send the troops here they will
be received in the most hospitable man
