BARRED PREACHER
WHO CROSSED LEGS
Another Church Objected to
Way a Candidate Combed
His Hair.

Lockport, N. Y, May 23.-Some queer
reasons are given by congregations for
refusing to call" certain ministers, ac-
cording to the report of the Pastoral
Supply committee of the state conven-
ton Of Congregationalists. now in ses-
sion here.
One candidate was objected to by a
congregation because he crossed his
legs in the pulpit; another congrega-
ton objected to the style in which a
minister combed his hair; another re-
jected candidate because he walk ed
up the center aisle as though he were
self satisfied"
The committee says that it is owing
to the inadequacy Of salaries that II
has been impossible to provide pastors
for more than 100 churches in, various
parts Of the state. The average salary
In the vacant pastorates is $500 year,
and the high cost of living makes II
impossible for a bachelor preacher I'd
i've within the income, according to the
committee.

Atlantic City, N. j., May 23.-Con-

business called for at today's session.
Of the Presbyterian general assembly,
Among these representatives werel
those of the committee on ministerial

The report Of the committee on minis

needy clergymen.
LESS than half Of our 9,073 minis

tors OF churches and many Of thoseI
who are pastors are receiving SMALL

about $500 have salaries Of $1,000 and
upwards. Over 5000 ministers either
have no salaries at all or where they do
have salaries they are less than $1,000
year and many of them have salaries
Of less than $500 year.

MARCHING WITH SHERMAN.
Incidents Of tho Famous CsmpaIe,
Throuoh GeoroIa


Boston Herald: After burning all
buildings that might again be useful to
the enemy Sherman's army of 5000 men
left Atlanta before daylight, November Is,
1864.
Much of the country passed through was
fine farming land. Now and then a
swampy place gave slight opposition to
our progress. but our march to within two
or three miles OF Savannah was practic-
ally unopposed.
A few stragglers were captured by the
rebel cavalry, some of whom were MUIR
dered. A few who were Freemasons were
well treated and soon paroled and allowed
to return to our lines.
At Milledgeville, then the capital Of the
state, we stopped thirty-six hours. my
quarters being the comptroller's office in
the state house. where rs and 50-cent shin
plasters were piled to the ceiling.
During the march we drew half rations
of coffee and sugar and, when needed,
hard tack These. with fresh pork, poul-
try. mutton, beef, bacon, hams. sweet po-
tatoes, ETC., made our fare the best we
had had In over four years service.
The weather was generally fine and so
mild We could battle all over in the nu-
merous rivers and creeks we crossed.
About the LIST Of December I saw ca
mellias, roses. ETC., in bloom as with us
In June.
When we came to a railroad, we de-
stroyed 1t by piling the ties, dollhouse
fashion. and placing the rails on top Be-
ing hard pine, the ties burned readily, and
when the rails became red hot they were
twisted by means of clamps applied to
each end so as to be of no use till they
had paid visit to the rolling mill.
AS 1t Is much easier marching at the
head of column of troops each day a
change was made. by which those who
were in the advance one day were In the
rear the next, and while we sometimes
camped long before night the next days
march might not terminate till after mid
night.
During the siege OF Savannah the
grub" question became a very serious
one. Those OF US who were on the left Of
the line Jared best, and yet our entire bill
of fare was rice (then called swamp seed),
with not even salt on 1t, and II any one
wishes to know how palatable II was let
him try just one meal Of 1t.
OnhDecember 25 General Sherman pre-
scented to President Lincoln the city Of
Savannah as Christmas gift.

MEMORIAL DAY.

Where the flowers in their beauty set the
woodlands all aglow,
And the crystal rivers laughing to tho
distant oceans flow,
where the bees are In the clover and the
sun of summer shines,
And the shadows on the grasses are tho
shadows of the pines
Comes g. people forth to duty meath tho
banner of the stars,
And the nation weaves a chaplet for the
heroes of her wars;
For the men who went to battle, for tho
tender and the true
Who are sleeping In the sunshine In their
uniforms Of blue.
Where the Shenandoah's music wakes the
echoes of the glen,
And the Mississippi rushes past the busy
haunts OF men,
From the shadow of Katahdin, with his
eerie crest of SHOWS,
To the land Of endless summer. where the
Sacramento flows,
There are camps forever silent, for no
drums within them beat,
And the bugles of the battle blow no
"Charge! and no Retreat?
But upon heroic bosoms falls the scented
bloom Of May,
And grateful nation kneeleth on her
own Memorial day.
One can almost hear the music of the
mighty, marching lines
meath the cypress and the pines,
But the lannon's rut is hidden by the lily
and the rose.
And the veterans march together who In
battle met as foes;
A grand, united nation stands beneath
our banner free,
One in purpose. one in glory. from majes-
tie sea to sea-
Fearing none and crowned with splendor
scars our eagle In the sun,
AS proud as when he scared above the
plume OF Washington.
vested flowers fall
Not hero's grave is missing, there Is
love enough for all;
Blossoms fairs for those who battled
where the British guns grew still,
And a people rose to grandeur from the
slopes of Bunker Hill!
Roses red and white for thousands who
at home and far away,
In the shadow and the sunshine, camp
forever and day:
Let the Southland's proud palmetto touch
the Northlands gentle pine.
Where the birds are singing sweetly on
the battles ghostly line.
We've seen the sons of those who met as
foemen on the plain
Beneath the folds of Freedoms flag their
young blood shed like rain,
Until the wretched wrath Of hate fed
shrieking on the blast,
And Peace looked down upon our land
and, smiling, said: 'At last"
One flag for all Americans. no matter
where they be!
One flag above our heroes graves upon
the land and sea!
And flowers for the brave who sleep
where soft the breezes blow,
And the singing southern rivers, thro' q
land united flow.
The veteran crowns his comrade to the
music of the drum,
The nation weaves heroic wreaths, and
will for years to come;
In the cycles still before us, In the CEN
turtles to be
The rose will fall upon the brave who
rest twixt sea and sea:
And Columbia, fairer greater. as She
mounts the heights of fame,
Will carve on her Respondent shield with
pride each hero's name;
And the tide that rushes outward to the
countries far away
Will tell the beauteous story Of our lands
Memorial day.

The Price of Wheat.

The truth is that when the complaint
made on behalf OF the farmer is analyZed
IL VIII be found TO be limited TO an arGu-
ment that by the admission OF free wheat
into the United States the price of wheat l
VIII be reduced 10 cents a bushel. The
answer TO this argument Is that this
cannot be. for the reason that the price
OF wheat in the United states and Canada
both Is ultimately fixed by the price Of
wheat In the world. and that the world s
price is adjusted and made at Liverpool
by the relation OF the supply of the eN-
countries which do not raise enough 10
supply their peopie.
"It may be that the free admission of
wheat from the United States into Can
ada VIII increase To some extent the price
10 the Canadian farmer. but II Will not
decrease the price paid 10 the American
farmer. because il Will not decrease the
demand upon the Americau5 Farmer for his
wheat.
"The diversion from British and Euro
pean markets to the markets OF the
United States OF twenty to forty million
bushels of Canadian wheat annually
would not only strengthen the wheat
market abroad, but would furnish the
A me rlcan mills with needed compile
ment OF wheat which the world would
require just as ii has in the past. but 1t
would then be In the shape of American
made flour. The effect OF the increased
wheat supplies would be to reduce the
cost OF manufacturing -four in just the
ratio that the mills were able thereby 10
increase their output.
