such sentiments uttered by a paper which | tei
possesses so hiuli a reputation. The fact is it '

cb&tge against us, but its being one ol thcrca- ^
"SonS wiiy oUK-iiil appointments shou'd bo giv- j vj
en to citizens of tlirir respective counties.'
Well, orf tills score, lot us reason together: j {j(
Anderson, Oconee, and Pickens we believe j tli
imve white majorities,artd Green villo ly about aJ|
ieveniy divide!. Abbeville lias about threej 'w,
thousand white voters and live thousand co!-i th
wed voters. In 1S70 Abbeville went Demo-1 v'(
era: ie by a Httlc ov?-r one hundred vot'fts, j f,\
\vhlle AuJefson, and Oconee, and Pickens In'
and Greenville, elected the Democratic ticket !"
by ninob larger majorities, and-on the princl-1 c;t
|>le of giving tbo otilces to the counties with n
ihc largest Democratic majorities, Abbeville j
ehonld have had uoneat all, though she per- j-,,
* haps con verted and drew more colored men

were cast for Congressman in Abbeville coun-j
ty, and on the principle of Democratic majorities

that time. In 1SS0 the I)emo-lre'
^ craticmajority in Abbeville was, as well as|,(,
*vc remember, about six thousand or ?cvcn r-,
thousand. On their own principle, of Detno-'tc
cratic minorities, we are unable to see wherein j w,
'Out neighbors have a riclit to complain at our j fG
.having the Congressman in 1SS0. j j>.
As for the Solicitor, we contributed only our; pC
votes lor his election in lsTii. Green ville, An- j 0j
dersoo, Oconee, and I'iekens, we believe voted j
Unanimously the same way for two or three |Ll
successive terms, and of course Colonel Colli- J
ran, of Abbeville, was elected each time. Is!
Abbeville to be blamed because neighboring
counties elected one of our citizens to the of-; '
L Ace of Solicitor ? Is there nr?y reason for ^
tttaia^anic people to get vexed because one of t|?
^Hbetrowa were not elected, when they them- re
""MM for our man i vr(

la lire matter of j udiclal officers: Tneso offleers
are elected l>y the Legislature. Mr. Cr
Thomson of this l:ar, was elected t>y the di
members of t.'ie General Assembly to suecced J."
^ Judge Coolie. In that body Abbeville had t.y
,oo!y six votes, out of n total of one hundred th
"v ?hd Mx:y. Abbeville voiid for Judge
Thomson, he being the only opponent of pr
Judge Cooke. The members <?f the Legist' mi
ture from Greenville, Anderson, Oearree, and ah,
I'iekens voted eilhir for Judge Thomson,; fc<
whose ability aii?l legxl .HtUtiu meats have! th
' never been doubted, or .else they voted for |
Juugc Cooke, the Ilejiublkan candidate. If j th
those geiHjiJfttTf'voud with the Democratic;'n
C lDHjuiTtythoy did not do so vith any in ore i
ji. unanimity than did the members from Abbe-1
*. j n
Vencral MeGowan was nest promoted to a; S11,
* sent on the Supreme I5cnch in a contest b-c- j
tween himself and another Democratic can- stil
' ' dldate. Because a majority of the General I
/"'Assembly voted for <ient>.al McGowan, arc!
we to be censured ? Wo hope that the cltl-i
* zens of Abbeville county are not to be treated ml
* with contumely because one of our citizens j fac
received this distinguished honor from the in'
^ General Assembly. J I>h
Upon the death of Judge Thomson, onrien
townsman, James S. Cothran, was ap- j In
p-.lnted to All the unexpired term for which i
' - the deceased Judge had been eiecteJ. Does I an
our neighbor of the ICcouee (Xiurtcr complain |
at this ? If so, why? Has Green v Hie, An- tin
ilefson, Pickens or Oconee a man better fitted j dw
for the ofllee ? And, if so, why was not his I ?\!
. -iiacic mentioned before tne appointment was! cai
- made ? As far us we have been able to learn^ | '"J
the vbole state, so far as oxpresMon has been ^
made, thought that >!r. Cothran should bei.tl:.
uppolfcted to the place. If this Is true, are we ^n
to be b!arnei because his ability and lejjal at-!
tain men U pointed him out as the proper man ! tin
for the oflke ? j nil
"VVe arc unable to understand to whom the
Otw ier refers when he says: "To ignore a see-, tin
r tion because of its remoteness or Isolation ; of
" tends to cripple Its future development." Ot: (li'(
course our neighbor does uot say that "re-! at
moteness" or "proximity" had anything to' '
tto with the prvfermcut of a few men In this!
County, but it is sai?l in that way which may re;
possibly create the doubt, suspicion,or fear in : j*|
. tho minds of the average reader that sueh is i
.thecase. In our opinion "remoteness" had gr:
not the remotest, lnfiucucc in preventing any j s!<
citizen of Uconce from getting any of these j^,,
offices. But other conditions were present, j rh
"lor it Is certain that there arc many citizens'lcf
*bf the State, living nearer Ij the capital than j
t > citizens of Abbeville. us
Atxl as for C'olcnel Aiken, we presume our ,

XlllguMvlI ivuuiu uutruiuus.} UlUKU UlCCUaigC ^
of either "proximity"or "remoteness" to hiui tli
Abbeville acts no claim to anything except
in so far as that claim may be justified In the S u*
quantisation ol" her men. She enters the con- bl
test, ns Oconee should do, merely upou the'fr
competency and fitness of her citizens. Ab-j j,',
? bevillc wants no "patronage" from anybody, j lit
tout 6he claims that the merit and worth of,
, her citizens shad be respected. When Oconcc;
. presents a better man for any office now held 1 lit
by any citizen of Abbeville county, he shall' *'e
III
have the support not only of the Press and' j,.,
* /tanner but of the intelligent and cultured jar
citizens of this county. J
Octree should spam the commission a?
that siiould be issued to one of her citizens ly
"because that county* had heretofore received J,Nf
no official appointment." Commissions j tk
should be asked for and should bo granted on- j w<
ly because of the peculiar titness of the reelp-1 ''!
lent for the position. Geographical politics j it
in oar opinion arc demoralizing in the high-jcr!
est degree, and can only tend to level all thel"'
higher standards, and to crush out all the no-1
i>ler aiars anil Impulses of the citizen. \Vh?n j
Jt comes to that condition of affairs that the
accident of one's birth shall deierniino hlsjlai
fitness for ofllcc the people will have reason jov
touiunro. ian
j\s for tlic matter of the appointment of So- j ar
licitor, we have no doubt the Governor will is
<lo his duty. The sentiment of this commu- Ct
jilty is in favor of the best uvallabio man. nt
We want no favoritism or geographical poli- jy
tics, but shall implicitly rely upon the sober ,
thought and practical Judgment of the chief
Executive of the State in this matter, and we ! at
Jiave no doubt that the people of this county j ^
will endorse whatever lx? does. j?
We want tlio best n.au to win. We care'^"'
nolo straw whether he lives in Abbeville, {?
Oconee, Anderson, Plckcns or Greenville. | ne
We want the Governor to consider only fit-; *?'
tiess for the office, and doing this, wo shall be 1 ^
*atisfled and respect him for whatever he may l til
do, hut if he should make an appointment j r?'
from local consideration, or from any other |
motive tlun the public good, he would be un- j ho
worthy of our respect, j ch
We lake Issue with our lrlcnds of the 2Tio-I
vice Courier, knowing tbat they did not intend ! poi
to do either us or their own county an lnjus-')01
tice: injustice to their own couuty in asking [jj]
appointments for citizens because of geo-j
graphical considerations, and injustio?to usj ^
in the implied belief that we had been favor- fev
cd beyond our merits. We hope that our!13,1
neighbor will present the personal claims or an
citizens because of tbe?r talent, their eluca-: tro
Ihlon and their real merit, and not because: c1'
of the fact tbat they llvo near the mountains. 1,11
The article of the Kcowce Courier seems to j
he more of an appeal to that prejudice and
envy which xould draw dowa others rather
than elevate it* own citizens to the higher
standard of attainments. Let us not pull '
down any body bat stimulate the growth of Ior
that spirit which would developo the highest pr(
xnanhood, which would attain the best clti- ftn'
xensbip, and which would reward the most bo
meritorious?whether found on the seashore, ne
or on the mountain crest. The best Interests jto
of the State make this demand of true pa-11"1
trioUsm, wherever found. j

against the IV.ritan gospel of force." '
,ter than this, another paper that lias been (

Ink correct Information, even if it were not, '

irn part, we are not crazy over the new work, '
id from criticisms made by competentschol- f
s, we are led to doubt that tho new version |
such an improvement as mlghtbesupposed, I
Ttaln it Is that there are too many un- '

"You may say that there will not bo the

lave to wait until the meeting of the Legislaure
in July, for I already have a charter unler
which I can unqMcstionably bulid tu

There are three parties In Home on the

Mich contending for a particular place. Coiolei
Cole spent two days there a short time
igo, but was unable to settle detinltely where

exceedingly small, being cast into the ground
Slew, andjbecame a great plant, and spread
its leaves rank and bread, so that huge ami
vile worms formed a habitation thereon
And it came to pass, in the course of time
that the son of man looked upon It, and
thought It) beautiful to look upon, and much
to be desired to make lads look big and man

thereof, And some it made sick, and other*
Lo vomit most filthily. Audit further camc

mouths of all that were enslaved became
poul; mid they were seized wllh a violent spitLing;
and they dldsjdt. even in ladles' parlors,

:he saints of the Most High were greatly
slagued thereby. And In the Conrse of time
t came also to pKSs that others suuffed it; and
hey were taken suddenly wiih Jits and they

and the smoke of their torment ascended
up forever and forever.
And the cultivation thereof became a great

nerchantinen waxed rich by the commerce
hereof. And It came to pans that the saints

even the poor, who could not buy shoes,

displeased therewith, and said, 'Wherelore

ATlaKj*A, May'JL?On Saturday night, "the)
17th of January, 1-$0, !U midnight there was [
a knock at the door of my room In the Maxwell
House, In Nashville.
I opened ihe door and Col. E. W. Cole cnlered.
lie had learned 5u my room, at* o'clock
that same night, of the purchase of theronds
that he was in control of by the Louisville
| aud Nashville Itoud. By this "scoop" his vast
plans were frustrated, and lie found himself
in truth?a king without a throne. He had
Jwst leased theT,20rt miles of the Centnd sys a
! tem in Georgia, and had lairly organized tlie
i line from SU Louis to the sea. lie left my
room at about 11 o'clock, returned at 12 to see '
If 1 had any further news from the front.
"The great line from St. Louis to the sea has
been the dream of my life for years.*' lie said.
I It was plain to see that he was suffering ter|
ribly at sudden frustration of Ills p'ans, but
' lie never uttered a word of reproach or anger,
j lie seemed to be thinking of some nvw plan,
i At last he asked me?

dred or so scattered about the room, lie took
-jit and scanned It closely,
sl "I am sat Hied," he said "thatthere is a greatr
undeveloped empire In this scllon,' running
' j Ills (Inzer over Tennessee, Alabama and (ieor>
gin. "There are enormous eurrcnts of trade
i now moving skittishly through these States
j that need but a small ijtil-eitenhig intlueiiceto

"From the West, throueh St. Louis, and

ing tides of freight seeking an outlet on the j

I ] this current."
"Do you sec any opening for you in tiiat dl-1

"Oli, I suppose there urn openings for any i
man who tries to accommodate commercial I
currents rather than (lain them. I have been I
tViinkins of a line that might fie made from
St, LoYils to the ocean by combining the Chi-\
) cago, St. Louis and New Orleans line with I
the Memphis an 1 Charleston; then working)
through Iron Cattanooga to Atlanta and thence |
Brunswick. This sort of line would tap the
? South west at Memphis and Northwest at St. I
'I if It worcpropciJy'fundictl." 12
* I examined the map and saw l>y the course
- Indicated :i perfect system that would given ,
f short and direct route from the points men-j
. tioned to salt water. I looked up in surprise,.
and asked Colonel Colo if he had any idea of
11 trying to make such r line. |
3 j "Well," lie said, "Iain not quick nt new ;
f i enterprise*. When I know my ground!
' J thoroughly I move very rapidly, but until I I
r am sure of my ground I must- move very]
f deliberately. I discovered veryenrly in life;
^ that I was n-ot what is called a brilliant
- man. Hut I found Just as early that hard
i- work and persistence and honesty would j
make me a sirong man and a useful one. The
first application 1 made of this discovery was
when I was employed as an errand boy for a |
b country store. I had to sweep a section of
li sidewalk adloiningthatsweptby another boy. j
i I soon found that instead ot sweeping my see- j
11 tlon quicker than he did. orin a more dashing j
11 way, that it was my forle to do it hotter and |
i! more thoroughly. 15ut 1 am keeping you up.!
e I Good night.'' Is
? lu the exciting days that followed that it
(night, which was so full of interest to me, li1
11 thought little more of this new line, of wbmh 1
f! Colonel Colo had spoken. I noted the obstl- ! i
i j nac.v?as I tlien though! it? with which hede- 1
i clined to continue with the Louisville and
- Nashville Koad, which ofTernd him heavy in- '
; dueements. I attributed this to ins tin will- I
ingness to surhoriHnate himself to men who I

I never dreamed that he was still thinking of '

pi When it was announced that hehnd bccomc J
1 associated with the Wil>on and McWhce sys- j I
<i tcm that controlled theMemphisand Charles- j
i- ton Iioad. and liad purchased the Macon anil, <
J Brunswick, his talk of that January nicht
s was recalled to mind. ' Hut I soon found that
i he was merely made President of these roads
at a salary, and that ho had little power outis
side of his executive function*1. Iliad hoard
s too much of the conservatism of Mr. Wilson,
who really controlled these roads, tower hope I
that he would very much enlarge his proper- <
ties. Indeed, it was very well understood ]
that Mr. Wilson, anxious to retire from heavy I
and active business, would rattier contract I
than extend his investments, and with himXI
In control, Colonel Cole's 15lie ttgtdn passed I
s out ol my nii.ni
i Hut "mark the soqnei." On Inst Saturday '
I night, In room 50of the Fifth Avenue Ilotii, \
j in New Vorlc, I was astonished. 1 learned
* I there and then from the gentlemen usseinr
I tiled, through the syndicate, most of whom (
, [werethin on hand, the entire Wilson and i
MeUhec system of the Macon and llrunswic k i1
Kou'd, and that, he would at once connect the 1
systems liy building oil the missing links. I I
was tairly astonished as the vast seiieine was 11
unroiueu, ana turnini; to uoi. i;o:e i reniiiiucu |
hliu of our talk over one y?ir before about
1 this very line. He smiled nml sald?
I "I tout you that I had to move quietly and :
deliberately, until I ?iti sure of my ground. [
' So I have. Hut now I know precisely who.-,
I stand, and I will show you sotno rapid j
j work."
He then turned to his friends atid sold : I
1 "I have authorized the statement that our
enrs would he lunuiiiK from Atlanta to Ma-;
C>n by January next, and to Homo liy |
March;"
The statement was endorsed hy all present,
' Willi the addition that tlie construction conf
tract would be closed on Monday, and that
> all the money that could possibly lie employed
in hurrying the woik forward would be
1 forthcoming.
s The formation of this syndicate is probably
. unequaled In the financial history of New
York. I quote Mr. George I. Honey,"the President
of the Metropolitan Eauli on this subject.
He said:
(Lionel role and my friends In tlio syndli
ciUe will agree with mo In this statement thai
r 11 hever heard this matter mentioned until
|Thursday morning, rntll tlicn l uau no
i more Idea of investing In those railroads than
' I hiid of investing in Alaska seal fisheiies,
. Colonel Cloc tlrst opened the matter to me
' Thursday morning after the bank had open1
ed."
"How Is It. Hint you went in so quickly ?"
"Hecauseof my confidence in Colonel Cole.
I have krt'm'n him for years, and have the
most perfect confidence in liis ability, liis integrity
and Ills sagacity. He told nie that this
was a safe Investment, and that inclitiod me
to it r.t once. He bud the subject well in
,! hand, and In a short time had convinced me
that it Was such a thing as 1 could Invest !.n
j and recommend to my friends. Of course we
hail the itemized earnings ol the roads for
I years past before us, and knew what we wi-re
buying, lint it was my knowledge of Col.
Cole's character and the conlitlence that
knowledge gave me that first led me Into it."
"Everything must have moved pretty rapIdly?"
"On Thursday, ns I sny, the matter was first
brought to my attention. On Saturday the
I money was paid to Mr. Wilson, and fourllftbs
I of lite stock of the East Tennessee and Vlri
ginia system and the Macon and Brunswick
I ltoad actually purchased and the transfer of
the roads actually made. J5y Monday at 12
( o'clock the entire capital of the syndicate?
I about sixteen million dollars? has been sub |
scribed, and more could liave been placed it it
had been thought best,''
II Now, just look at that a moment, and if the
results are not wonderful I do not Know
| what Is wonderful. A New York man is approaching
!>y n friend one morning <>n the
i subject of a niIIroad purchase. In forty-eight
i hours thercaftPi'u capital of SIfl,00U,U0:.'is imih'.C '
Up and IjSJijO miles of Hit' rjillrnad purc,ha--ed. i
j These roiids lie a thousand miles away from
! the purchasers and involve I ho iin'iu-diale
outlay of over S2,OJO.IIOO In building connecj
ting roads, and only one man of all the pur- J
chasers?the one who proposed (he scheme?
I even saw the roads that are bought or the territory
through which the rontlsare to run.
I And yet so thorough Is the confidence in the I
| scheme, so high the character of the men who j
i make up the syndicate, and so thorough the
| confidence In the man who proposed It that
after the books were dosed there were npplij
cations for stock In thceiMerprlsc that would
] have. If encouraged, doubled the capital sul I
scribed. The last thing I did in New York I
| was to make nn unsuccessful attempt to get a
friend the privilege of taking a thousand !
shares.
' Now, what is It that Colonel Cole intends to
do ?
i In the first place he will build the Macon*
Atlanta extension. He telegraphed several
days ago, ordering that proposals for the entire
extension be advertised for at once, and
the limit be put at thirty days. This, was In
marked contrast to Mr. Wilson's advertisements
for bids for twenty miles and forty
| days time. The steel rails ft r this extension
f; have been bought and the work will be piessed
with the utmost rapidity. It is the purpose
of Colonel Cole to come direct to Atlanta.
Colonel Wilson had almost agreed with 'J
President Phlnlzy, of the Georgia Koad, for a
Covington connuction, the price having been
. agreed on and the question of locating the
i depot being about the only difference; ColoI
ne! Cole will certainly builtl a direct line to
I! Atlanta. It Is <|Uitc probable, however, that
j he will build a branch line to Mouttcello, or
thereabouts, to connect ?wlth the line from 1
Alliens to Social Circle or Covington. This K
[ branch line Is marked down on the map which
, the syndicate figured, ti
In the next place the line from Atlanta to *
. Home will be built, or rather it will be con- ?
.,1 ..... ..-1 I I. II,n \f.- (
. tension if the charter of the Macon and v
,; Brunswick Koad, as it Is thought to be, is suf- G
|flcient charter for the extension. If not It i'
! | will be contracted as soon asacharter can be e
||had in July. This extension is ubsoluiely v
i|agreed upon and will bebullL '1
The connection between the Sclina and the v
11 Atlanta Roads with the Memphis and Char- (
I leston will,not be tnade as was once proposed, v
I by building from Home to Chattanooga dl- v
I rcct. by building a short line from the Mel ma e
I Koad above Malton to the East Tennessee and v
I Virginia Road above Chattanooga. This line fi
will bo built near the apex of the triuuglc tl
I made by these two ltOftds^and will ;be only fi
! eleven miles long It will cut ofl' about thirty b
eight miles, and furnish abundant room for 1
transfers, ri
The buildlg of these roads?wiiicli Col. Cole t<
insists can be and shall be {finished by next
Spring or before?will give him a strong com- ii
piete system. It will trap the great North- H
west at St. Louis, and by the Chicago, St. II
I.otils and New Orleans connection give a &
short and quick line to the sea. It'will trap j
the mtddlcscctlon of tlie West at Memphis, i tl

j to each of these sections it caii?collect at the a'
I points named and carry In Its own cars and si
I over Its own roads by an easy, short route to

I The system Is equally strong for controlling
its share of the trade current from the Southwest
to the East. The travel and traftlc of
] the Southwest Is fed 'o It at Meridian and u
carried thence over its Selma Road and the j;
Kast Tennessee and Virginia to Bristol?the
East bound trade of the ccntral J Western u

11 tiie role of biographer, 1 cxpei ienee an euiinrrassmcnt
that i> inherent wlicn reviewing
he life of a living person. Abbeville county
snjoys the distinction of having produced
mine of the most remarkable men who tigire
in national ami Siat>; history, as well as a
argcr number of giltcd and meritorious men

or their respective communities. While
lie subject of this sketch is well known
li rough a large portion of the .State, from the

none are more remarkable than Ihegeiilenian
who forms the subject of this article,
Dr. Kphralm Kninsay C'j liioun. lie is a man

ami Jovial humor, gitied with it high oI'll'r

under all the varying circumstances
>f his eventful, and yet unfinished ii:e. Hut
i sense of respectful delicacy forbids an
elaboration of the incidents that illustrate
lie past history of tills remarkable man, who
sstlll working out lils usefulness among us.
't only remains, tberefoie, to record the more
in porta lit events of his Mb ut> to the present

stahlished in the fact that the Doctor imparted
the Information to me in person, and,

l)oct ?r E. It. Calhoun vvvns born in "Calhoun
! 'It!' nient" on Little Kiver, in the latter part
>f the year ISiil, and is now the oldest physical!
In the county. He obtained his classical
: location under Rev. Henry Kcid and .Mr,
Mnhcus linker. Jle studied medicine a few
nonUis at Abbeville conn house, unci eouipiced
bis course in Chai lesion an<l Philadelphia.
Jn bis return I'rom tbe latter place be brought
villi nini I drachm of sulphate of quinine.
\s this alkaloid was then entirely new ami
list bellij? Introduced expeiiinenially in our
arger Northern cities, it Is just to liiiu to
lulni that he introduced the use ot quinine
?i this section tit least. He was the private
student of l)r. Isua-c Mode Campbell, who
vas then surgeon to lhe Marine Hospital in
'hailestou. He attended in 1821, the lirst
course of medical lectures ever delivered in
Charleston. It was a private summer course,
:iven by I>r. S. H. Dickson and James Uahijay,
preparing the way, as it were, for theor;ani/.alion
of the Medical College, which was
llected the following year, lie began tbe
practice of medicine at C.'nmbrldne, in tbe
iuonth of April, ISJt. lie landed there at
light, and Hk- ,'lrst inan he saw was u youn^
Doctor like himself, and soon learned II:at he
:iad two others, and old practitioners at that.
:o cope with. One of these was Doctor Dojan,
already alluded to in "Cambridge ltera
in Isccnee.-s'' by Ur. Calhoun and l>r. Williams
who had been llieic several years and
ivas In possession of a good practice. Dr.
,'alhoun knew only the rules which governed
jity physicians. He thought his first duty
Aas to prepare himself by study for healing
the sick ; and havinga very go-jil library, liln
policy was to adhere closely to It, and li t the
people come to him to form his uc<iualnluncu
Instead ol his going to them. The eonsclueiiee
was, tip toihc-ithnl July he had not
made money enough to buy a saddle-blank
' 1 ? ? on.
Ll. nut a ?nj:iMi\r cpi.-vmv wi u?uv?..wM., ?
jiicity emanating from tin unexpected source,
changed this as if by magic. There was a
Doctor accustomed lo hounding his own
praises.as a good many ol us do when i-o one
else will, Hiing about eight, in lies oil'. ,?l*1'j
liati taken n ureal fancy te#r.\.'a!li7niii 'vTik*TS
lie could never understand, unless it was, that
lie was *??ti i;j/r no practice; or allowed him
k>*5iink Ills, as well as his own quota of willskey
when they met where it wa.i obtainable,
I'liis Doctor was an intemperate drinker and
nlways brought its eflects into rcr,utsitlon
10 boast noisily of his wonderful cures,
His standing was high among the people, yet
below mediocrity in the medical fraternity,
n the ad of July he sent for Dr. Calhoun m
insist him In reducing a luxated elbow Joint,
iif long standing in a boy of about nine years
of age. New adiic-ions were formed: uUpnlu;
iiidamailon and swelling gone. Dr. Calhoun
tried to dissuade iiini from the attempt, but
U> no purpose. Chloroform was unknown at
that time, but this Doctor pat him upon large
JraiiKhls of his favorite uinesiin-tie, novel
railing to duplicate l tie Uose to tilm.-clf. so tin
Doctor and his patient progressed jkwi pu**u
mid by Hie tiinetlic latter w as relaxed ill muscle,
the former was relaxed In niiiid. The operation
was at tempted, and it hardly need bi
idticd, the result a giaud failure. The following
day there was to be a large barbaouc In
l.'ambridge, and Dr. Calhoun, as a mutter oi
iourse, Invited this Doctor down lo it. Altei
the dinner, the tabie was cleared and bottle?
:>f whiskey and wine were placed alternately
From one end to the other, and the company
Invited lo attend to ttie delivery of toa>ts
liy the time litis DocLor was called upon for v

Hrooklyn' X. V., May 8.?Tills Is the nienior?i>le
day in . the Brooklyn tiiim-tijih ic.
Three lmndrrd and twelve new members were
received. Dr. Tnl mage khvv tliem tbe right

ill llie presence 01 a inroiig 01 peopig:. mere
were many elergynien on the plntiortn, which
was adorned with flowers. Over live hundred
persons luive been e(inverted during his revival
In the Tabernacle. The membership h
now 2,5,71Jwhlcii is by far the larg" st Presbyterian
metuberyhip in the world. The Rev. T.
lie Witt Talmage, D, D., preached in the Tab
erniicle tills morning on the subject of thorough
Chi istlanity. The followli-g Is tho full
text of the senium:
I Text?Exodus xlv., "Go forward!"
"Masterly retreat,, is a term often used in
.military circles, but In religion there lsno
such thing. It is either glorious advance or
disgraceful and ignominious falling baclc. I
address the more than three hundred mem
tiers auueu to-aay, nnu inueeii an curmans,
in the order given to the Israelites by the
Ijonl through Mo>es; "Goforward." Itwould
be strange tiling if all our unxlcty about
men ceased the liour Uiey were converted.
You would almost doubt tne sanity of the farmer
who, having planted the corn and see it
sprout above tlie ground, should, say, "My
vWvfc Is all done I have ivo more anxiety for
[the tleld." No. There Ik work for the plow
; and ilio hoe, and there must be a frightening
away of the birds that would pillage the tleld.
i And I say the eutranec upon Christian life Is
{only the Implantation of grace In the heart,
j There is earnest, hard work yet to be done,
and perhaps many years of anxiety, before
shall l,e heard the glorious shout of "Harvest
home." Tne beginning to bca Christian is
I only putting down the foundation, but after
there areyearsof hammering,polishing,carving,
lifting be.'ote the structure Is completed.
I Jt takes live years to niakeaChrlstlan characiter;
It takes twenty years; It takes lorty
I years; It takes sev'enty years, if a man shall
I live so long. In other words; a mAn dying after
half a century of Christian cxpeiTene'c,
feels that lie has only learned the "A H C's"of
a glorious alphabet. It Is May now, In the
natural world. The May blossom will soon
scatter, but the pumps are buaj' In the tie'es,
the apple tree and the pear, tice-And the plum
tree, sending forth fountain's of life that will
after awhile hang out In luscious fruit. And
so il Is in the hearts of many of you this May
j morning. The May blossoms of yo'.tr tirstex|
ncrlenee will sen tier,[and weanxlously watching
whether all those Spring blossoms will
show themselves in the grand, ripe, eloHnus
| fruit of Christian elm racier. The next year
; will decide a great deal in your history, young
[Christian man. It will decide whether you
are to be a burning and shining light of the

j this morning to give you three or lour words
! of Christian eouns.el, as I address myself especially
to those who havcju.st now entered
i the Christian life*
i My llrst word of counsel Ik, hold before your
j mhii a very high model. Do not say, "I wish
j I could pray like that man, or speak like this
! man, or have the consecration .of this one."
. Say : "Mere Is the Lord Jesus Christ., a perfect
! pattern, liy that. I mean wltii God's grace to
shape all my life." In other words, you will
I never be any more a Christian than you stiive
' to be. If you build a foundation iaix.'io feet,
i you wilt only have a small house. If you
build a foundation hWxlUO feet, you Will have
a large house. If you resolve to he only a
I middling Christian' .you wit! only he a middling
Christian. If you have no high aspira.Jtlon
inn worldly direction, you will never
. | succeed in business. If you have no high aspiration
in religious things you will never
'succeed in religion. You haven right to?sI
plre to the very highest style of Christian
I character. From your feet there reaches out
ja path of Christian attainment which you
; j may take, and I deliberately fay you may bea
II better man than was l'aul.or David,or David,
; or Sumtncrfleld, or'Doddridge; a better wo:
I man than Hannah More or Charlotte Eliza
j beth. Why not? Ind lliey have a monopoly
of Christian grace? Dlil they have a private
' key tn the storehouse of UoU'h mercy ? Lock
Cio'd shut y<iu out from tin- gladness and i;no(lI
ncss to which they were introduced? Oh, no;
| you have Just the same promise*, just tlie
' same Holy (iiiost, Just the same offers of
l'KKHENT AXX) f7'|H^r|V''
^ tKld'lf yBii fT'l 1 jiftrtPtoi what lliey were?aye,
' if you do not comc up to tho point wiiicli lliey
(reached ami ?o beyond it, it is not because
I Christ has shut you out from any point ol
' | moral and spiritual elevation, but because
you deliberately refuse to take it. 1 admit
; that man cannot, become a Christian ilkelhat
without, u struggle; but wliatdoyouuet with'
out lighting for it ? The forti esses of darkness
are to be taken by storm. ' You may by ncnlc
' strategy Hank the hosts of temptation; liut
' there are temptations, there are evils in Hie
1 way tliut you wUl have to meet face to face,
and it will be shot for shot, gun for gun, grip
1 lor gtip, slaughter for slaughter. The Apostle
I l'aul over ana over again presents the Chris
I Man life as a combat. When I he war Vessels

"'and dashed in the hurricane; but by so much

| l!u more than they buve ever been for ( hrlst.
An oM ArabiHii King was showing ;i beauilI
fill sword that hnd been given him, when one
! of bis courtiers s.ild: "This sword Istoo short,
I You cannot dc? anything with it." Said the
! King's son; "Toa brave man no sword Is toe
short. If it is too short, take one stop in a<lvatico
and then It is long enough." So I say
to any Christian who may feel that he has
poor weapons with which to tight against sin
and darkness and death: "Advance upon the
enemy. In the strength of Christ go lorward.
Put forth more strength. God is for you, and
If God is for you whocau beagalnsl you? Homember
that Gud never puts you in battle
hut He gives you weapons with which to
tight,"
My second word of counsel to those who
have recently ontered upon Christian life Is:
Abstain from all pernicious associations, and
lake only those Lhatarc useful and beneficent,
stay out of all associations that would damage
your Christian character. Takeonly those
associations thu* will help you. A learned
man said: "If i stiiy with that mail Fenelon
j any longer, I shall get to be a < In Istiun in spite
of myself." In other words there Is a mighty
power In Christian associations. Now, what
kind of assoclaltons shall we, as young Christians,
seek after? I think we ought to try to
get in company better than ourselves, never
going Into company worse than ourselves. It
we get into company a lit lie better than ourselves,
and there are ten people In that company,
ten chances to one we will be bettered.
If we get into company a little worse than
ourselves, and there be ten people In that
company, ten chances to one we will be made
worse than we were before. Now, when a
young Christian enters the church. God does
not. ask him to be a monk. God does not ask
her to be a nun. There is no virtue in moaiiasticism."

the young and untroubled should seek their
| a*.soclatsotis with those who are aged and
I worii out. As God Intended the aged to assoj
ciate with the aged, talking over tiie past and
I walking stall' in hand along the same pathway
they trod thirty; forty and llfty years ago,
so 1 suppose lid intended the young to nssoclI
ate eh Icily with the young, 'i lie grace of Uod
does not demand that we he unnatural. 1 do
not want you to lake this caution I have glven
you as that of a growling misanthrope,
hating hilarity. For you must have a springhow
if you want to make the arrow fly. Hut
while this Is so, I want you to heespecialiy on

Jesus Christ control you in all Tour associations.
1 krfow young people who have meant
well enough, but they have lloatn.l oil'into

PKUNICIOt'S TO YOfK OKOWTH
In grac*? Stand back from Unit, furnace In
I which so many young Christians have been
: destroyed. In tlii.schurch there Is a large eomj
puny of young men ami young women comeI
crated to Christ. I know of no better people
than thc>* are Young convert, I Invite you
' Into their friendship. Contact with them will
I elevate you. All hall, young follower* of Je-1
I sns Christ, my Joy and uiy pride. My heart
thrills at' very step of yoflr advancement; Ii
talked with j-on in that hour when you tlrst]
tried to break from sin, and i now rejoice as I 1
I see you putting on the armor of a conflict In ;
I which God will give you present andeverlast-i
lug victory. Stand otl'trom alt evil associa-j
lions. \ man Is no better than the company j
he keeps. Go among those who are betterI
| than you are, and you will be mado better.
' Go amohg those who are worse than you are,
i and you will be made worse.
| My next word of counsel Is that you bo actively
employed. I see a great many Chris'
thins with doubts and perplexities, and they
| seem to be proud of them.
Their entlro Christian llfo Is made tin of
[ gloom, and they seem to cultivate that splrlt|
ual despondency, when I will undertake to say
I that in nine cases out of ten spiritual despoil-1
! dency Is a Judgment of (Jod Upon Idleness. I
AVho are the happy people In the church to- j
day? The busy people. Show m*a man who
j professes the religion of Jesus Christ and Is'
Idle, and I will show you au unhappy man.1
The very first prescription that I give to a'
man when I tlnu him full of doubts and fears'
about his internal interest is to go to work!
| for God. Ten thousand voices are lilted up
asking for your help. Goundhelp. llero Is a
wood full of summer Insects. An ax in an goes j
Into the wood to cut tire-wood. The insects,
do not bother him very much, and every |
stroke of the axe makes them fly about. Hut
let a man go and iiedoWn there, and he is bit-J
ten and mauled, and thinks It a horrible
thing to stay in the wood. Why does ho not I
takeu 11 axe and go to work? So there arc!
thousands of Christians now in the Church |
who go out amid great annoyance in life?;
they are not perplexed, they are all the time j
busy; while they arestungand stungand covered
from head to foot with the blotches of In- [
dole nee and inactivity find spiritual death, i
The first thing then yon have to do,- O, Chris-!
tian young man, Christian youug Woman', is j
to
UO TO WOUK
in the service of the Lord If you want to be a
happy Christian. When an army goes out
there, some because they are faint and sick,
but a great many because they are afraid to
tight and too lazy to march. Alter nwhllo
the lazy men on the road hear the banning of
guns for hours, and they hear the shout of
victory, and a man on horseback comes up
and says: "We have won the day." They
then hasten up. How bravo they are after
the battle Is over; poor at lighting but grand
at huzza. So there are stragglers going after
the Lord's host, There comes days or darkness
and buttle. Where arc they? Wo call

Christian, who is getting along very fasi
in the holy life, and this one, who i>
only getting along tolerably, is that tin

prays, and his strength and his powcrcuuuo
be exaggerated. Why, Juit give to a mau
the power ot prayer
and you give liUn almost omnipotence. Tliii
