?!)e IxdtlltymctK. For the Anderson Intelligence*'* ? Beecher. Here is the most suggestive name of the American pulpit. No preacher of the land has occupied so much of public at? tention, and ho nevor so much as now. In his pres"ent compromised position in society, he is the occasion of mistaken mferenc|s alike (1.) to the onemies and (2.) to the friends of Christianity and the Church, as ho may bo (3.) the occasion of a useful iesson to them both. 1. "It is. as might have been expected. He is like all the rest of them. They are all a set of dissemblers and hypocrites. Tho only difference between him and the rest, is in the occasion offered or in the detection that has followed." It is thus that the infidol world spoak of Christian ministers and men. "They steal- the livery of tho Court of Heaven To serve the Devil in." Thelnsf.inct of the crowr for carron is not more unerring than this depraved appe? tite for offal of human character. Our good deeds go unrewarded; our evil ones are in evory mouth. "I told you so!" "Who next?" Such are the ex? clamations following every defection from righteousness and truth, indicating the general distrust in individual integ? rity and public virtue. 2. While we would do well to feol and administer a just, wholesome condemna? tion to every flagrant abuse of Christian character and privilege, it is but just, as It is essentially right, that we should defend it as a common heritage against the insinuations and persecutions of those who delight to defame it. If Bee? cher is guilty of a great sin against vir? tue and law and decency, then, in the name of God and of society, let him be condemned and his name cast out as evil; but if facts do not condemn him, let not our suspicions do so. Public opinion is a hard master, and all the more so becauso it is so easy to put ourself under its dominion and sway. It is easy to call right what everybody calls right and to call wrong what everybody calls wrong, and often dangerous in propor? tion as it is easy. There is a charit}' that hopeth all things and believoth all things. It were better to excuse and pass by ten guilty men, in candid ignorance of their crime, thau to condemn one innocent one, without intelligent and impartial examination. 3. Men err, Oh ! how greatly when they would make Christianity to stand or fall with its frail human representatives. Religion is a principle, and when em? bodied is imperfectly embodied in hu? man character and conduct. Beecher may disgrace himself; he can't disgrace religion. To object to tho Church that there are false members of it, and to religion that there are unworthy profes? sors of it, is as though one would object to a genuino dollar because there are counterfeits of it. A counterfeit, whoth er of money or character, prosupposes a genuine original. The Christ, not a Christian, is the true ideal and just rep? resentative of Christianity and the Church. A. "Wish I had Dat Money Now."? A very intelligent old darkey was met fey an ante-bellum friend the other day for the first time since the war, and the old man's delight at seeing one of Massa's tickler friends in old time was unbounded. Alter a hearty hand shaking and a pro? tracted laugh peculiar to the Southern darkev, the'gentleman asked: "Well, Uncle Joe, how are you getting along in the world ?" "Sorter slow, Marse Wilson. Been had rheumatiz right smart lately, and things ain't gone 'zactly right no how," replied the darkey. "A great many changes have taken place since I last saw you, Uncle Joe. Death has taken your old master away, the family are scattered about the four quarters of the globe, the farm is divided up and strangers occuppy the old house. It makes one feel right sad, Uncle Joe, to think of the changes that have been wrought by old Father Time." "Yaas," replied Uncle Joe. "You 'member when I was a slave I worked hard at odd times, and made money 'nuff to buy myself. I paid old massa 1,000 for my freedom." "Yes," said Mr. Wilson, "I remember it." "Wish I had dat money now,"mused the old darkey. "Well, yes," replied Mr. Wilson, "it would be quite a fortune for you." "Lots of fortune, sar," said the old man mournfully, "and every time I think about it I kinder rue de bargain. Nig? ger was wuff a thousand dollars then, but now he ain't wuff a dam. Mighty changes in dis world, massa."? Vicksburg Herald. A Mine of Sweetness.?Generally when we hear of rich strikes it is in the gold or silver line, but this time it turns out to be honey, pure and sweet. A few davs since, as the workmen on the tun? nel at Cajon pass were hauling some rocks, they came across a deposit of hon? ey, and taking a pole and running it in? to the mountain were surprised to find no bottom. They got a long pole, some twenty feet in length, and were unable to touch bottom with that. Upon with? drawing the pole the honey began to run out, and soon tubs, buckets and two bar? rels were filled and it still flowed. Some parties came in town and loaded up with barrels, and propose to make a business of it. They put in acharge of powder and blew off a portion of the rock, which dis? closed tons upon tons of honey. Our in? formant states that after exploring it from helow to where the bees enter, it was found to be about one-fourth of a mile, and it is his opinion that the whole cavi? ty is filled with honey. He estimates over 100 tons in sight, and believes that 1,000 tons would not be an unfair estimate. This immense deposit cannot be equall? ed by any ever found. According to the above estimate, it would take every bar? rel and every hogshead in San Bernardi? no to hold it.?San Bernardino Argus. ? A calculation has been made of the number of persons the great cathedrals of the European Continent will hold. St. Peter's, at Rome, holds54,000 people ; the Milan Cathedral holds 37,000; St. Paul's,at Rome, holds 25,01"); St. Sophia, at Constantinople, holds 21,000 ; the Ca? thedral at Pisa holds 13,000, and San Marco^at Venice, holds 7,000. ? Never ask any newspaper man for news. Jt is written (in one id' the minor prophets) that the shoemaker's wife goes unshod, and in like manner a newspaper man never knows anything worth telling. He will tell you all about it the nexl morning after, but on the day previous ; must needs be dumb as an oyster. Jefferson Davis and His Northern - Visit. Some time since the Committee of the Winnebago County Agricultural Fair, in Illinois, invited Jefferson Davis to visit the fair and deliver an address. Mr. Davis accepted this oiler in a graceful and courteous letter, saying that it would afford him great pleasure to visit a coun? try that he had not seen since it was a wilderness. As soon as the announce? ment was made there were many expres? sions of indignation on the part of those truly loyal men of the North who regret that the war ended before the destruction of every citizen in the South. Wc learn from Chicago that a meeting was held at Rockford, 111., by the Grand Army of the Republic, at which resolutions were pass? ed to the effect that it was an insult to ; the loyal citizens of Winnebago to "in l vite the archtraitor Jeff. Davis to address the relatives and surviving friends ofj I thirteen thousand men murdered at An dersonville alone by his orders." They j say, furthermore, that they will not at j tend the lair nor do anything toward making it a success if the Board brings forward this "archtraitor and coward. When we heard that Mr. Davis had accepted the invitation to visit Illinois and deliver an agricultural address wc were gratified. It was a kindly thing on the part of the farmers of Illinois to in? vite Mr. Davis. It was a courteous thing for the ex-President of the Confederacy to accent it. A good deal of bitternes that belongs to the recent war unjustly centres around the person of Mr. Davis. This movement of the Grand Army of the Republic is an illustration of this in? justice. If Jefferson Davis is an unwel? come guest at a Northern agricultural ?fair then no other Southerner who fought in the war can be welcomed. We do not see where the members of the Grand Army of the Republic draw the line be? tween Jefferson Davis and General Long street, unless in this that Mr. Davis pre? ferred, to cherish the convictions with which he entered the rebellion, while General Longstreet, with more wisdom and courage, has accepted the doctrines of the republican party. Mr. Davis was no more responsible for the rebellion in the South than any one of a thousand other men. In fact, before the war, while the question of secession was under dis? cussion, he was among the more moderate of the Southern leaders. There were twenty members and Senators in the Congress which preceeded the rebellion more active than Mr. Davis in bringing about hostilities and more responsible for the result. Mr. Davis and his colleagues ?in that Congress followed a public opin? ion in the South, and did not lead it. Mr. Davis was put at the head of the Confederacy simply because he had more character than most of the Southern leaders. Even as it was the Confederate Congress almost elected Mr. Toombs, of Georgia. The election of Davis was the expression of a conservative sentiment even in the Southern Confederacy. As President of the Confederacy Mr. Davis did his duty as well as he knew how. He did what any other Southern leader would have done in the same place. Therefore, to deal with Mr. Davis as in any way inure responsible for the rebel? lion than any one of the conspicuous men of the South before the war is to do him a great injustice and ourselves a dis? credit. The wisdom of Mr. Davis coming into a hostile community to deliver a lecture upon any subject might be questioned. It is probably the penalty which he and all men like him who have held supreme station in rebellion must pay, that lie must accept failure as closing to him any opportunity for display or advancement. We think it would have been a gracious thing for the people of Illinois to have accepted his act in the spirit which prompted it. These members of the Grand Army of the Republic represent only the dismal memories of the war. This organization is known tobe political and secret in its character. Its members use their army record for selfish political purposes. The true soldiers of the North and South have forgotten everything ofj the past except its glory, and they think only of their opponents as chivalrous and brave men. We never hear of this Grand Army of the Republic except when it makes the mischief that is taking place in Illinois. The business of its leaden seems to be to fan the expiring flame of civil wrath and diligently seek offices. An act like this in Illinois, this rejection of the kindness and courtesy of Mr. Davis, will do more toward exasperating the South and intensifying the bitterness of feeling which it has long been the aim of patriotic men, without distinction ofj section or party, to extinguish, than any? thing that has occurred for a long time. There is not a true Southern man who took part in the Confederacy who will not feel that he cannot be welcome in any community which renounces the President of his Confederacy as an "arch? traitor and coward."?New York Herald.

William White sued a New York railroad fourteen years ago for $1,000 damages for killing his wile, but getting tired out, he took $50 the other day anil called it square.

A minister, while marrying a couple lately, felt exceedingly disconcerted on his asking the bridegroom if he. was willing to take the woman for his wedded wife, by his scratching his head and say? ing, "Ay, I'm wulliu', but I'd rather have her sister." ? Tobe was once stricken with what everybody supposed to he his hist si"k ness. He called his son John to his bedside, and said in a husky voice. "John, when \ am gone I wish my death to be announced in the papers. < Hi, .lohn, will you put in tho words T tell you?" "Oh, yen. rather," said the moiimingson.
