THE HARP or A THOUSAND
STRINGS.

Many strange characters float
ed down the Mississippi river on
flat boats in the forties and a.
bout 1848 an angular individual
landed at Waterproof, La, with
cargo of whiskey in barrels.
During his stay at the town one
Sunday, dressed in a long coat,
tight breeches with straps at the
bottom to hold them down, high
standing collar held upright with
a large tie, he mounted on top of
a barrel of liquor and preached a
sermon that with its quaintness
entertained his congregation even
if it was not exactly in line with
the sermons delivered by the
ministers of that section.
Judge Josh Norris, then a
young lawyer and afterwards in
the limelight in this state, hav-
ing joined the carpetbag Repub-
lican and native scallowags dur
ing the reconstruction days,
heard the sermon and repeated
it to Rev. Henry T. Lewis, a
Methodist minister whose field
of work at that date included
Brandon. Rev. Lewis rounded
some of its corners of roughness
and often preached it for the ed
ification of his friends. Mr.. An
drew Harper, at that time editor
of the Brandon Republican, wrote
a description of the scene and
published it in that paper. The
name of the flat boat cannot be
recalled. Josh Norris repeated
the sermon as nearly verbatim
as possible and his memory was
good. Rev. Lewis dressed it up,
Mr.. Harper wrote the description
and it was first published in the
Brandon Republican in 1848 and
was widely copied. It was re-
printed in "Burton's Cyclopedia
of Wit & Humor 1883" and
Watterson's Oddities in South
ern Life & Character" 1882.
