Dr. Talmage's sermon Sunday was |,

a door was opened in Heaven." Fol J?
lowing is liis sermon: M
John had been the pastor of a .1
church In Ephosns. He hud been s
driven from liis position 111 that city '
bj' an indignant populace. The (
preachiug of a pure and earnest gos \
pel had made an excitement ilange:
ous to every form of iniquity. This !l
will often be the result of pointed ,(|
preaching. Men will tlineli uiuhi \

Hut John had so mightily inculpated a
pubhc iniquity that lie had been ban 11

in breadth, against whose rocky coast '

alued at many hundreds of dollars,

Twenty years ago Mrs. Alden's

larin^r manipulations he made the
najor portion of his great wealth.
:Ie spent his summers in Westport,

I'l'.tUKKH KSJjriMJ, Vn , July I I i!t
resjionse to the interview with (Jen.
Karly, which has appeared all over
the country, denying that (Jen. 11. H.
Lee ever tohl Mnj. Horace Lucy that .
it' he (Lee) retired from command he _
would recommend (ten. .Mahouo as F
his successor, Maj. Lucy has published A
a card, in which he deals not gently '
with (len. Karly's record, public and '
private, both before and since the
war. n
In his interview (Jen. Karly de- '
nouneed Maj. Lucy us a liar and a ?
crank. In his reply Maj. Lacy says
in substance that Kai ley's non recol- $
lection of what passed at Hiclimoud t
at the unveiliiiLTot the Lei monument J
between himself anil Karly, concern
iug the conversation with Lacy, is
proof of ins debauched con lition 011
that day. He says Karly is not only T
a in ieo ruble liar, but his private char
acter is in keeping with the lie which
has stamped his brow ever since this .,
controversy began, and that what he r
said was literally true.
Then Lacy turns ou Karly s mili h?
tary career, and says that whether in J^!
ti nt, at drill or 011 the parade he was m
invariably drunk, and the only noto
riety he has attained since the war ? :
was his love for gambling houses and J,1
other places of ill fame, and his con h.

His curd closes in this milliner: "1 * '
titu u Democrut, and liuve no sympu u
thy with Muhonc or his tactics, and 1 <;
am opposed to him us u politician. ~
In justice to myself 1 feel I should 1
reiterate what I have already said,
and I regret that I have to deal with l((
this miserable cur, who is trying to
exchange drunkeness for bravery." 18

A Candidate Steps Down.
The Rev. Dr. D. C. Kelloy, who recently
accepted the Prohibition uoiuinrtiou
for Governor of Tennessee
and entered upon an active canvass,
has witlnhuwn from the race. This
action is the outcome of a correspond
once with Bishop Keener, of the M.
E. Church, South. Dr. Kelloy was
the pastor of a church of that denonii p
nation at Gallatin. Tenu., and propos p
ed to rotain the pastorate whilst ft
stumping in favor of prohibition, but 1
it is understood Bishop Keener ob- si
jeeted to this, and so Mr. Kelloy con- h
eluded to withdraw, allow the l'rohi V
bitiou party to name another cundi ['
date and devote his time to the duties '
of his pastorate. .

The Power of Money.
What an inlluence for good cr evil g
is exert oil by the proper or improper A
use of money. It seems to be the ^
first essential of modern life. Sad 1.
indeed is the lot of that man or that t
woman without money and without h
friends. Esneeinllv ill cases of sicl: t
iichh is the need of money felt most
pressingly anil yet even the rich with
all their money fall into a state of
poor health and die, whereas if their
money was rightly expended and the
proper remedies applied they might
regain health and strength.
Z. A. Clark, Atlanta, (in., says: "1
spent four hundred and eighty iiol
tars in gold to cure me of terrible
blood poison that affected my limbs
and nose and body, with running
I ulcers. One mouth's treatment of '
B. B. B. healed the ulcers, restored '
t iiiy appetite, strengthened my kidneys
1 and added 21 pounds to weight."
> Still, in spite of this and much
: other testimony there are many who
i refuse to try the remedy, seeming to
' prefer to pay large fees to physicians.
