His heart was full to overflow- v ing. It was a sight that thoso who ,] witnesssed car never forgot. It car \ ned to all tho loBSon that honor, t ohivalry and intogrity have a reward ^ that no other qualifications can pro- j cure. a It was about 5:30 o'olook when tho Confederate veterans in tho oity fell into line at tho intersection Gervais and Main Btroets for the purpoBo of t marching to Gen. Hampton's homo and t paying tributo to him. Tho proces- v siou was hoadod by Gen. Walker and staff and Adjt. Flenniken of Camp 1 Hampton, bearing tho division colors, 1 and Col. J. Fuller Lyon, commanding 1 the Abbovillo regiment, boaring tho tatterod colors ol' tho Tenth South 1 Carolina regiment. Just in front wore 3 Messrs. Ashcr Browno and C. D. Kbor- f hardt of tho Columbia orohostra, beat- 1 ing tho kettle and basB drums. Fol- t lowing thy veterans were tho Sons of t Vetorans, headed by Commander Hunt and staff. In tho proocssion of tho veterans also marohed several of the fair sponsors. The old soldierd marched out Gervais streots upon tho north pavowont, and the line was over four blocks ?nearly a half milo?in length. A numbor of Confederate gray uniforms wero to bo Been in the proocssion. As they passed a residence upon Gorvais street a party of ladies and gentlemen gavo three ohcors for tho old boys. At Gen.

Tho following timely artiole is a communication rcoontly published in the Atlanta Constitution: Alitor Constitution: Not long ago you "reproduced by permission from tho Now York World's Sunday Magaziuo" an article by Mrs. Jefferson Davison "The-Humanity of Grant." Mrs. Davis has oortainly depended upon imagination and hearsay in this euology on Grant. Bpeaking of tho BWord story of Appomattox, she say: "Genoral Grant did not keep it as a trophy, but respectfully roturned it to the hand which had made its famo as deathless as that of Excalibur." In Grant's Memoirs, volume 2, page 494, he says: "Tho much talked of surrendering of Lee's sworo and my handing it back, this and muob more that has boon said about it is the purest romanoo." It was puro romanoo about Grant receiving the sword, and it follows that it was not "respectfully returned." In his memoirs, Gen. Grant says that Gen. Leo told him that in the Confoderato army tho oavalrymon and artillerists owned their own horses. Gon. Grant was of opinion that the war was about ended; that most of tho Confederates wore small farmers and would , not bo able to make a orop without "tho aid of tho horses they were then riding." He said to Gon. Leo about tho horsee: "Tho UniDd States did not want thorn, and 1 would, thereforo, instruct tho officers 1 left bohind to receive tho paroles of his troops to let every man of tbo Confederate army who olaimed to own a horse or mule to take tho animal to his homo." From this it will be soen that Gen. Grant, according to his own statement, was influenced by two faots in allowing tho Confederates to retain their horses to wit: Tho horsos wero the private property of the soldiers, and "the United i Stales did not waut them." This means that tho horses would havo been taken if they had bolonged to tho Confodcr- , ato States, or thoy would have been , taken anyway if the United Statos had wanted thorn. This horso story has boen told so , often that no doubt some persons be- { lievo that Gen. Grant sent Gen. Leo's soldiors homo on horseback, but that is not tho oase. Whon tho surrender oame Gen. Leo had only 7,892 infantry with arms in their hands. Boforo tho payroles were mado out stragglers enough oame up to run tho number up to about 25,000. Of these about 5,000 wore cavalry and artillery. Thon at least 20,000 mon had to walk home, and wero not bencficiarios of Grant's magnanimity. The men who did rido homo wero allowed to' keep their horses only until they got in good Tl * uvuu.v.uu. a uou treasury lageniB swarmed through tho oouotry ?n* oar riod off cvorv horao that had the braiid U. S. or C. S. on it. But thia did not satisfy them, for thov took away every horse that some trifling negro would say had been in the army. When it oomoa to magnanimous treatment of Confederates, Grant in not to be classed with Sherman. Gen. 'Benjamin F. Butler states thak there was an agreement between Sherman and hia leading officers to provide a /ship at Charleston for tho esoapo ficyn tho country of Jcfferaon Davia^^^^iuch cabinet and go " t*** that to tho who at guns go had taken phec.

TALMAGES SERMON Sermon from the Text- "There is None Like That; Give It Me." In this disoourso Dr. Talmage calls the roll of induenocs onco antagonistic but now friondly to tho gospel and encourages Christian workers; text, I Samuel xxi, 9, "Thcro is nono liko that; givo it mo." David flod from his pursuors. Tho world runs vory fast when it is ohasing a good man. Tho aountry is trying to oatoh David and to slay him. David ' goes into tho houso of a priest and aeks him for a sword or spear with whioh to ' dofond himself. Tho priest, not being accustomed to uso deadly weapons, tells David that ho cannot tupplv him, but snddonly tho priest thinks of an old sword that had boon oarcfully wrappoa up and laid away?the vory sword that Uoliath formorly UHcd?and ho takes down that sword, and whilo ho is un- j wrapping tho sharp, glittering, mcuioi ablo blad it dashed upon David's mind that this is tho very sword that was usod against himsolf whon ho was in | mo ngm witn uoliatb, and David can hardlv keep his hand off it umil tho priest has unwound it. David stretches out his hand toward that old sword and says, "There is none liko thai, give it me." Id other words, "1 want in my own hand tho sword whioh hai been used against mc and against tho cause of God." So it was givon him. Well, my friends, that is not tho first or tho last Bword onoo used by giant and Philistine iniquity which is to oouio into the possession of Jesus Christ and of bis glorious cLuroh. 1 want, as woll as God may help me, to show you that many a weapon whioh has been used against the armies of God is yet to be captured and used on our side, and I only imitate David when I strctoh out jjjy hand toward that blade of the PhilHmo and ory, "There is none liko that; ^H[it fl^Tremark fir.?t,tinrt-ibr?

You How that tho first discoveries in astronomy and geology and chronology wore used to baitlo Christianity, Worldly philosophy camo out of its laboratory and out of its obscvafr; aud said, "Now, we will prove by tho very struoturo of the earth and by the movement of the heavenly bodies that the Bible is a lie and that Christianity as we have it among men is a positive imposition." Good men trembled. Tho telescope, the Leyden jars, the eleotrio batteries, all in tho hands of tho Pnilistines. But ono day Christianity, looking about for some weapon with whioh I to defend itself, happened to see the vory old sword that tboso atheistic 1 Philistines had been usmg against tho 1 truth and cried out, "There is none like 1 that, give it mo." And Copernicus and 1 Galuei and Kepler and Isaac Newton 1 and ilersohei and O. M. Mitchell cauio < forth and told tho world that in their 1 ransacking of tho earth and heavens thoy had found overwhelming presence 1 of tho God whom wc worship, and 1 this old Bible bfli/an in sVinWn Weolf I 0 liUVU 11UU1 .ho Koran and Shastor and Zondavesta 1 with which it had boon covoied up and 1 ay on the desk of the scholar and in .ho laboratory of the chemist and in tho ap of the Christian unharmed and unanswered; while the tower ot tho mid- t light hcavend struck a silvery ohimo , n its praise. Worldly philosophy said: "Matter is a iternal. The world always was. God * Lid not mako it." Christian philosophy ilunges its crowbar into rooks and fii.ds s hat tho world was gradually mado, and H f gradually made there must have boen v omo point at whioh the prooess started D Toon who startod it? And so that ob- y ootion was overcome, and in the hrst u hreo words of tho Bible we find that ] doses stated a magnificent truth when I 10 said, "In tho beginning." I Worldly philosophy said: "Your a iiblc is a most inaccurate book. All 1. hat story in the U.d Testament, again n nd again told, about the arm/ ot the 'I Dousts?it is preposterous. There is 1: othing in tho coming of tho loousts a ike an army. An army walks, locusts a y. An army goes in order and ti recession, loousts without order." It Wait," said Christian philosophy, and l lStJS in tho southwestern tl art of this country Christian men went b ut to examino tho match of the locusts, q here are men n*bt b. for? ? > iust have uouocd id t;.at Very part of ot le oouniry the coming up of tho gi icuits like an army, auil it wan found tt tai all tho newspapers unwittingly bj okc of thoiu as an army. Why? They it 10m to havo a Oommander. They march B ke a host. The halt like a host. Nj A iow over went in straightcr flight than w to loousts come, not even turning st udo for the wind. If tho wiml rises re 10 locusts drop and then riso again el tor it has gone down, takiDg tho t-auo be no of march, not varying a foot. The ai? d Bible is right every time when it nc leaks of locusts coming liko an army; jrldly philosophy wrong. m Worldly philosophy said, "All that io ory about tho light 'turned as clay to pr e seal' is simply an absurdity." O.d (Jt 110 wordly philosophy said, "Tho gr :ht comes straight." Christian phi- I'l lOphy says, "VVait a littlo whilo," tu d it goos on and makos discoveries pil d finds that tho atmosphero curves Pi d bonds tho rays of light around tho of rth, literally "as tho clay to tho seal." is io Biblo right again; worldly phi- sp? lophy wrong again. "Ah," says crt rldly philosophy, "all that allusion in art b about tho foundations of the earth fit simply an absurdity. 'Where wast up )u,' says God, 'When I sot tho foa.i- su lions of the earth?' Tho earth has sta p" I I ^ 1 do foundation." Christian philoaphy ( ocwis and finds that the word as translated "foundations" may be better translated "sockets." So dow see how it will read if it is translated right, "Where wast thou when 1 sot the sockets oi the earth? ' Whero is the scoket? It is the-hallow of God's hand ?a socket large enough for any world to turo in. Worldly philosophy said: "What an absurd story about Joshua making the sun and moon Bland still! If the world has stopped an instant, the whole univ or so would have boon out of gear." "Stop," said Christian philosophy; "not quite so quick." The world has two motions?one on its own axis and tho other around the sua. It was not nooessary in making them Btand still tbat both motions should bo btoppod?only the one turning tho world on its own axis. There was no reason wby tin- baiting of tho earth Bhould have jarred aud disarranged tho whole univorso. Joshua right and God light; infidelity wronj every timo. 1 knew it would be wrong. I thank God that the time has oome when Christians need not ho soared at any sci.nlifio exploration The faot is that religion aud soitnoo havo struck hands in eternal friendship, aud the deeper down geology can dig and tho higher up astronomy can soar all tho bettor for us. Tho armies of tbo Lord Jesus Christ have stormed tho observatories of tho world's science and from the highest towers have flung out tho banner of the cross, and Christianity now froni-tho observatories at Albany and Washington stretches out its hand toward tho opposing scientific wcapoD, crying. "Thore?.is nono liko that; givo it me." 1 was reading of He^ohel, who was looking at a meteor through a telescope, and when it oamc ever the face if tho tclcsoope it was so powerful ho had to avert his oyes. And it has Occn just bo that mauy an astronomer has gone into an observatory and looked up into the midnight heavens, and tbo Lord God has through some swinging world flamed upon his vision, and tho learned man oried cut: "Who am 1? Uadonc! Unclean! Have moroy, Lord God!" Again, I remark that the traveling disposition of the world, which was adverso to morals and religion, is to be brought on our side Tlio man that went down to Jericho and fill amid thieves was a typo of a great many travelers. There is many a man who is very honest at homo who when he is abroad has his honor filched and his good habits stolen. There arc but very few men who can stand the stress of an expedition. Six weeks at a watering place have ruined maay a man. In the olden times Gol forbide the traveling of men for the purposes of trade became of the corrupting influences at tending it. A good many men now cannot stand ike transition from one plac? to another. Some men who seem to be very consistent hero in the way 01 keeping the Sabbath whon tbey get into Spain on tho Lord's day always go out to see tho bull fights. Piato said that no oity ought to bo built nearer to the sea than ten miles lest it be tempted to eininiic). But this traveling cispofi tion ol' the world which was adverse to that which is good is to bo brought on our side. These mail trains, why, they take our Bibles; these steamships, they transportour missiouaries; iLeic sailors, rushing from citv to oityall around the world, are- to be converted into Chrishn n hrral/ic nnrt r?.> ?uv? p.v uuv nuu yi Ctt JU Christ awocKthe heathen nations.

A man said: 'T went to tLc lloly Laud an infidel. I came back a Christian. 1 could cot help it." 1 am rot shocked, as somo have tcin at the buiiding of railroads in the Holy Luad. I wish that all the world might go and too Golgotha and Bethlehem. How many who could not afford muleteers now easily buy tickets from Constantinople to Joppat Then let Christians travel!

Rut wo have in the roll f Christ's host Mozart and Handel in ousic, Canova and Aogelo in sculpture iaphacl and Reynolds in painting, latvey and R.crhaavo in medicine, low per and Scott in poetry, Grotius nd Rurke in stati stnanahip, Rjyle and icibnitz in philosophy, Thouiau Chal jcrs and John Mason in theology, 'ne most brilliant writiegs of a world ; nature are all aglow wuh Scriptural llusions.

"Thero is >no like that; give it to mo." 3 So also has it boen with the pioturo \ akiug of tho world. We aro very anx fi us on this day to have the printing ess and tho platform on tho Bido of iristianity, but wo overlook tho en- r aver s knifo and tho painter a pencil, r 10 antiquarian goes and looks at pic- a red rums or examines tho ohisoled j liars of Thebes and Nineveh and mpcii and then comes hack to tell us v tho beastliness of ancient art, and it i a faot njw that many of tho finost s minions?merely artistically oonsid- f .d?of sculpturo and painting that s to bo found amid thoso ruins aro not to bo looked at, and they aro looked a How l'aul must havo folt when, mding amid those impurities that ired on him from tho walls and pavo- 1 Si ments and bazaars of Corinth, he proaobed of the pare and holy Jesus. The art of the world on the side of obscenity and oriine and death. Muoh of the art of the world hen been in the possession of the vicious. What to unclean Henry VI11 was a beautiful picture o* <110 Madonna? What to Lord Jitlroys. tho unjust judge, the picture oftho "List Judpmeut? Whit toNoro, the unwashed, a picture of the baptism in the Jordan? The art of the world on the wrong side. Bat that is being changed now. The Christian artist goes over to Koine, looks at thopio tures and brings back to bis American studio muoh of tho power of these old masters. The Christian minister goes oyer to Venioo, locks at the "Crucifixion of Christ" and oomos back to the American pnlpit to talk as never be fore of tLc sufferings of tho Saviuor. Tho priva e tourist goes to llomo and looks at Raphael's picture of tho "Lait .Judgment." The tears start, and ho goes back to liis room in tho hotel and prays God for preparatio: for that day when Shrive ling like a parched scroll, Tho tUi'ing heavens together roil, Oar Sunday school newspapers and walls aro adorned with piotures of Jo scph in the court. Daniel in the den, Shadrach in the fire, Paul in the ship wreck, Christ on the Cross. Oh, that wc might in our families think more of tho power of Christian piotures! O. c little sketoh of Samuel kneeling in prsycr will mean more to yonr children than 20 sermons on devotion Oae patient face of Christ by th? hand cf tho artist will he more to your ohiid than 50 sermons on forbcarauoo. The art of tho world is to ho taken for Christ. What has become of Thorwaldsen's ohiscl and Ghirlanda j j'b orayon? Captured for tho truth. "There is nono like that; give it mc. So 1 romaik it is with business acu men and tact. When Christ was upon earth, the people that followed him for the mast part had no social position. Thcrj was but ono man naturally brilliant in all the apostleship. Joseph of Arimtthcs, the rich -nan, risked nothing when ho offered a 'tolo in the rock for tho dead Christ, flow nuny of tho merchants in Asia Minor befriended Jesus? I think only oae?Lydia. How many of tho castles on tho beaoh at Galileo entertained Christ? Not one. Whon Peter came to Joppa, ho stopped with oue Simon, a tanner. What power had Christ's namo on the. Roman oxohacge or in tho bazaars of Corinth? Nono. f no prominent men of tho day d.d not want to risk thoir reputation ior sanity by nrctmdirur to ho r?nn nf Viio Now that la ail changed. Among the mightiest men in our great oitios today arc the Christian merchants and the Christian bankers, and if tomorrow at the board of trade any man should got up and malign the namo of Jesus he would be quiokly silenced or put out. In the front rank of all our Jnristian workers today are the Christian mor chants, and the enterprises of the wor.d are ooming on tho right side. There was a farm willed away some years ago, all tho prucocds of that farm to go for spreading infidel books. Somehow matters Lave changed, and now all the pro oecds of that farm go toward the missionery cause. One of tho finest printing prcssos ever built was built for the ezpiesc purpose of publishing infidel tracts and books. Now it does nothing hut print Holy liioles. 1 believe fbai the* lime will oome when in commercial circles the voioo of Christ will be the mightiest of all voices and the ships ol larshish will bring presents and the queen of Sheba her glory and the wis'; men of the east their myrrh and Iranit "inooosoT men of this land and rej jioe at the proa pi c; that their taot ana ingenuity and talent are boing broughtinto the service of Christ. _ It is ono of the mightiest of weapons. "Titra is none like that; give it ;no." New, if what 1 have said bo (rue, away with downhcartedness! If science is to be on tho right sido and the traveling disposition of tho wor d on the right side and the learning of the world on the right side and the picture making on the right Bide and the business acumen and tact of the world on tho rLhi side, thine, O Lord, is the kinguom! On, fall into line, all ye people! It is a grand thing to be in sued an arm/ and ltd by sacna commander and on the way to such a victory. If what I havo said is true, then Christ is going to gather up for himaolf out of this world everything that is worta anything, and there will bo nothing but the sourn left. Wo have been rebels, but a proclamation of amneBty goes forth now from the throni! of (Inil ? -in ? ?j ?-?5, ?? uvouuyti win let him coiue." However long you may havo wandered, however great your crimes may have boon, ''whosoever will, let hnu come." On, that this hour I oould marshal all the world on tho eidc of Christ! He is tho best friond a man ever had. Ho is so kind, he is so loving, so sympathetic! 1 oaunotseo how you can stay away from him. Come now and aocopt his mercy. Behold him as he Btretchcs out tho arms of his salvation, s&yiag, "Look unto me, all ye ends of tho earth, and bo ye savod, for i am God." Make deal ohoioe now.

Taylor, former Governor of Kentucky, who is charged with complicity in the murder of State Senator Goebel, has purchased tine residence property in Indianapolis. His friends announce that he has received assurances of protection and has determined to make Indiana his homo in the future. The Newport News Herald, an ably conducted inaependeut newspaper, says "this is a notable case of self incrimination. It seems well nigh inconceivable that a former Governor of a large and important Commonwealth of peaceable and orderly people, having enjoyed all the rights and privileges of statehood under a constitution and exercising allof the forms of law for over a century, could be guilty of so foul a crime as that of the assassination of a rival candidate and thena legal contestant for the gubernatorial ofhco. But that is the self incriminating attitude of former Governor Taylor. Goebel was murdered and not only did Tay lor, who occupied the place of i chief executive at the time, make no effort to avenge the crime, but lie potected those who were accused of committing it. When they and he were indicted they all fled. "Taylor has not returned. He I refuses to submit to trial, to enI ter the jurisdiction of the State courts and has been protected I from extradiction by the Governor of Indiana, who has refused to honor the requisition of Kentucky. Some ot his friends have been convicted and sent to the . penitentiary, some of them became witnesses for the Litateand have been released, while others with Taylor, are still fugitives. Meantime although former govvernor Taylor lias been living safely in the bounds of Indiana, protected by the refusal of the Governor of that State to honor a requisition for a man charged with complicity with a murder he would not buy property there till assured that he would not be subjected to arrest. "it is stated now that the assurance that Governor Durbin will not honor a requisition for his return to Kentucky ha* not come directly from the executive, but so positively that Taylor feels that there is 110 probability of his being surrendered to the Kentucky authorities and he has invested $9,00u in a home inone of the most fashionable districts in Indianapolis. f The inevitable conclusion is that Mr. Taylor is guilty, at least, of | complicity with the murder of Goebel. He is indicted for that i and there was testimony XI the ; trial to the efiect that the assas sination was suggested by him ^ and that he knew it was to be \ committed. The man who refuses to face his accusers in I court and demand and obtain I the same protection from ^ same justice fro^B^BHl the courts Uiatlii^rrienc^^S^^^^^ i ceived is either several kinds of I coward or he is guilty. He convicts himself. On the contrary, 1 if he were as brave as innocence inspires a man to be he would risk any sort of danger?there ^ is none in fact?rather than rest under the awful charges that are standing against him among a people of whom ho was the chief executive."
