JOHNSON'S LIFE AND LETTERS OF

the narrow limits to which he is con-
lined by newspaper requirements. He
longs Tor the numerous and ample pages
or a great quarterly Review in order
to do Justice to noble man nobly pre-
sented. Every word from the modest
preface of this work to the closing
sentence engages the attention, arouses
interest and secures the admiration of
the sympathetic reader
The mechanical execution of the work
is in the best style of our Presbyterian
Committee of Publication. 1t has a
copious index, prepared by the Rev.
d. K. Walthall, Phi. D., which renders
the very large amount of valuable his
tor1cal matter easily accessible to the
student
DR.. Johnson, who styles himself the
compiler" of this volume, has steadi-
ly grown in the estimation of our
Church. His presentation of the Life
and Letters of DR.. Dabney greatly en-
HANGED his reputation. The present
volume, though prepared under trying
conditions, will still further enhance

and nobly expressed. The earlier chap
tiers show extended research and clear

so FAR as they can be known, which
made DR.. Palmer what he was. Due
credit is given to ancestors immediate
and remote: especially to the mother.
to whom he was greatly indebted for
much that was noblest and best in him.
Chapter second, on the Civilization of
South Carolina, deserves special men
ton. Those who have not access to
McCrady's work on the early history
OF South Carolina, nor the time to read
1T, will be delighted with DR.. Johnson's
account Of the land and people out of
which DR.. Palmer came.
AS the work advances the author
more and more gives place to the com
p1ler. The selections from the letters.
sermons and addresses of DR.. Palmer
are admirable. Even where a modern.
jealous of the reputation of his hero,
would have omitted what now seems
to show lack of penetration, a want
of judgment, failure to appreciate
the arguments on the other side of a.
pending question, an inability to fore
cast the future, as for example the fa-
nous Thanksgiving sermon of Novem-
Der, 1860, the author lets his subject
speak for himself, without any attempt
to shield him from adverse criticism.
1T Is safe to predict that those who once
read these selections will return again
and again to them for delight, for In
struction, for inspiration. They are
the work of a master mind with ge-
MUS for expression
Mention should be made of the happv
divisions into which Dr. Palmer's Life
is distributed. The reader is not weari-

boyhood and student days of young Pal

lad, himself, is willing to do but he
does not know how, and so he wants

he does not know how to get to the

1t means much work, some of it hard,

ADMITS TAKING
GOLD SCRAPS,

and 20 grains was found upon him.
Captain Cannon says that Bowder ad-
mitted that he had ben stealing the scraps
for the past six months twice a week

mitted that he had been stealing scraps
for "a cents a pennyweght. when its
value was about as cents.
This morning he was arraigned on the
charge OF larceny Of scrap valued at $780,
pleaded guilty and was sentenced TO 90
days in jail.
The value OF the gold stolen was so
stated by j. T. Quayle as he did not wish
to place too heavy a penalty on the man
