I take u this bo photographs, and I look at sketch, at Mark's sketch. at .thn seteh ani at Paul's sketch, and I say, with Iaiah, "Won derful:'' I think that you are all interested in the story of Christ. You feel that he is the only one who can help you. You have unbound ed admiration for the commander who helped his passengers ashore while he himself pr ished. but have you no admiration for hi:n who rescued our souls, himself falling bacl into the waters from which he had saved tt: Christ was wonderful in the magnetism of his person. After the battle of Antietam, when a gener al rode along the lines, although the soldiers were lying down exhausted, they arose with great enthusiasm and huzzaed. As Napcleon returned from his captivity his first step on the wharf shook all the kingdoms, and ~",1 000 men joined his standard. It took : ,9 troops to watch him in his exile. So there have been men of wonderful magnetism of person, but hear me while I tell you of a poor young man who came up from Nazareth to produce a thrill such as has never heen excited by any other. Napoleon had aroun I him the memories of Austerlitz and Jena and Badajos, but here was a man who had fought no battles, who wore no epaulets, who brandished no sword. He is no titlel man of the schools, for he never went to school. He had probably never seen a prince or shaken hands with a nobleman. The only extraordinary person we know of as being in his company was his own mother, and she was so poor that in the most delicate and eolemn hour that ever conies to a wo man a soul she was obliged to lie down amid camel drivers grooming the beasts of burden, I imagine Christ one day standing in the streets of Jerusalem. A man descended from high lineage is standing beside hita, and says, "My father was a merchant prince. He had acastle on the beach at Galiiee. Who was your father? Christ answers, "Joseph. the carpenter." A man from Athens is standing there unrolling his parchment of graduation, and says to Christ, "Where did you go to school?" Christ answers, "I nev er graduated." Aha: The idea of such an unheralded young man attempting to com mand the attention of the world. As well some little fishing village on Long island :-hore at. tempt to arraign New York. Yet no sooner 'loes he set foot in the towens or cities of Judta to an everything is in commotion. The people -go out on a picnic, taking only fool enough for the day, yet are so fascinted with Christ that at the risk of starving they follow him out into the wilderness. A nobleman talls down fiat before him, and say-s, --My daugh ter is dead." A beggar tries to rub the dim ness from his eyes, and says, "-Lord, that my eyes may be opened.'' A poor, ai-ck. panting woman, preasing through the crowd. says, "I must touch the hem of his garment." Children, who love their mother better thain any one else, struggle to get into his arms. and to kiss his cheek, and to run their ting ers through his hair, and for all time putting Jesus so in love with the little ones that there is'hardly a nursery in Christendom from which he does not take one, saying: "I must have them. I will fill heaven witit these, for every cedar that I plant in heaven I will have 50 whit-e lilies, In the hour when I was a poor man in .Judnc they were not ashamed of me, and now that I have comie to a throne I do not despise them. Hld it not back, oh, weeping mother' Lay it on my warm heart. Of such is the kingdom of heaven-" What is this coming down the road: A triumphal procession. Ie is seated-not in a chariot, but on an ass, and yet the people take off their coats and thro w them in the way. Oh, what a time Jesus made a monog the children, among the beggars. am.ong the fishermen, among the philosophers: You may boast of self control, but if you had seen him you would have put your arms around his neck and said. '-Thou art altogether love Jesus was wonderful in the opposi-tes and seeming antagonisms of his nature. 'l out want things logical and consistenat, and you say, "How could Christ be God and man at the same time?" John says Christ was the Creator. "All things were made by him. and without him was not anything made. Matthew says that he was omnipresent. " Where two or three are met together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.' Christ declares his own eternity. "-i am Alpha and Omega." How can he be a lion. under his foot crushing kingdoms, and yet a lamb, licking the hand that stays him? At what point do the throne and the manager touch? If Christ was God, why dee into Egypt? Why not stand his ground? Why. instead of bearing the cross. not lift up his right hand and crush his assassins: Wnya~ stand and be spat upon? Why sleep ont the mountain, when he owned the palaces of eternity? Why catch fish for his breakfast on the bench in the chill morning, when all the promegranates are his, and all the vine yards his, and all the cattle his, and all tet partridges his. Why walk when weary. andi his feet stone bruised, when he t:ight have taken the splendors of the sunset forhi equipage and moved with norses andcr ots of fire? Why beg a drink fronm the wa-'. side, when out of the crystal chalices ofc e nity he poured the Euphrates, the Mis-issip-i and the Amazon, and, dipping his ha ii the fountains of heaven and shakig:i hand over the world from the tirsofh fingers, dripping the great lakes a h occans? Why let the Roman regine-n: pr him tojdeath, when he might ha'e rc d down the sky, followed by all th'e caary: heaven, mounted on white horses fern victory? You cannot understand.

Sullivan, whom he was endeavor ing to arrest. Sullivan is wanted by the Southern Express company for train robbery in Arkansas. Last March circulars with photographs and description of Sullivan were sent out. ruesdaya stranger traveling through the country stop ned to get a drink of water at Mr. 'alker's, near there. Young Philot, who was there and who had one of the circulars, at once re cognized him. No effort, however, was made to arrest him, and he passed on a few miles when he met Ab Po iv eli, who also recognized him from the circular. Mr. Powell meeting Sheriff Alood, who was in the country, in formed him of the facts. When the sheriff reached town Sullivan passed through. Mr. Allison and a Mr. Howell wvent in pursuit. They found hims at the house of Mr. Smitners, three miles north of town, abcout 11 o'clck Mornday night. Their knock on the dcoo- was anawered by its b::ing opened, andi stepping in they Iouni their man lying on a pallet on the floor. Sullivan immediately raised himself to a sitting'nosition and asked: "Do you want me?" Ailison answered: "If your name is Sullivan, I do." The latter immnediately raised him self, raised his pistol, which he had concealed between his legs, and fired. The ball entered the neck above the claviele. Allison fell, andi for some *ime it was tnought he was dead. Sullivan fled, without shoes or hat. He wvent into Falkv-ille Tuesday morn ini that condition and s arrendered, saying te h-ad killed a man and feared Ivilece H~ e is in custodly at Deca 'u-.

It ;s learned Saturday that all of the railroads have refused to Lao die .iq uor shipped in original packages, as ts term is de~ned by Ju.e Si'non ton, and consequently no shipmcnts cf separate b!tties can be rectived in Columbia or other portions of ite State. The Blumenthal and Bickar: shipment was expected here Saturday, but it is doubtful if it arrives at all. An other shipment of the same kind was expected from Savannah for an other dealer but probably will not be receivcd. The railroads take this ac a tion purely from a business stand point. Slioments made in rccord ance with Judge Simor-ton's order are not according tnt c'assifiention ::s idopt :.d by all the railroads. If shipped in the legal manner there would be dau ble chances as to breakage and the railroads would be held liable for damsge which would prcbibly de stroy all profits in the freight chargcs that they mialht receive. Accorditg to the published ciassid cation of the asscciated railways, in s monthly pamphlet called "How to Shin," alcohoic liquors are classed ditierently and are shipped at differ ent rates. The following, taken from this pamphlet, will show how the rail roads r qaire alcoholic liquor to be shipptd: A!cohol, in cans, bcxed. Alcohol, N. 0. S. ; same as whiskye. Bitters, same as liquors, N. 0 S. Gin; same as whissey. Hign r:ines; same as whiskey. Wniskey, in boxes or baskets, or in glass, packed in b.arrels Whisker, in wccd, N. 0. S., (esti mated weight 420 pounds per barre.) W'-.iskey, domestic wines and co mestic brandies, in wood, (estimated weight 420 pounds per barrel), owner's risk of leakage, value limited to 75 cents per gallon. Whiskey, for export. in wood, must be charged at actual weight when ob tainable. When not obtaiaable, must be charged at estimated weight of 410 pounds per barrel. N. 0 S., in glass, packed in boxes, baskets or barrels. N. 0. S. means "not otherwise spe cified." It will be seen that accord ing to these rules there are no provi sions for shipping liquor according to Judge Simonton's decision. The rail roads therefore will not accept ship ments unless packed according to the regulations. It means a possible loss to them, through claims for damages, which the roads cannot afford to have. Mr. Mancke, the agent of Blumen thal and B:ckar,, has been informed of the decision of the railroads and unless he can make some arrangements wi th the roads, or his firm does, the probabilities are that the original pack agestore will not be opeaed Monday as expected. The dispensary officials were very mucht rejc~iced at this unexpected turn of affairs in their favor and they are more jabilant than ever. On the oth er band some of the contemplaiie original package people are inclined to believe that the railroads are in league with the state. This is, c-f cou:-se, a supposition without any foundation. in fact for railroads are ran for the money which is pcssible to be made. A shipment by the State, an original package dealer or a blind Itiger man is all the same to them so they pay the cash, and in this instarnce they seem fully to be carrying out the idea when they refuse shipments on which they are liable to be held fox damages far in disproportion to what tney might otherwise make. ' The annouacement of the determi* nation of the railroads has not only made a comamo.ion among original package people, at thas very material .ty changed th atuation. ISeveral of the local representatives of railroads have during the past day or two received positive instructions not to handle such business or solici: it. A dealier from WiLmington stated to a Register reporter that he 1:ad of :ercd such a shipment in tha~t etty t'o the Coast Line, but it was refused. E declared that he knew no reason fox it, but the statement above fuily ex nlains the reason. Oili sex vlee Fxamination.

Now that Mr. McKinley is the Pres. ide,nt, w& shall have an opportunity to ascertain whether he is merely the nominal president and under the guid ar ce of the Bankers' Committee on Wall street as was the case with the retiring president. Also is there op perfunity already icr some compari sons. On the surface, Wall street is disgruntld at the President's utter ances, especially regarding bimetal lism. The appcintment of Mr. Gage to the Treasury was disappointing to those who sincerely believed that Mc inley would do as he has done, ad here, so far, to the declarations of the platform on which he was elected, that an effort should be made forin ternational agreemer.t. Knowing Gage's entire subserviency to keep to the gold power, the general members of the party do not know what to ex pact. The real bimetallists were snubbed by Gage's appointment, and Gage supporters are worse than snubb ed by McKinley's pledge to make the international effort. Meanwhile, as a matter of fact, Mr. Gage will go on with the administration of the De partment, in the same line of policy as did Mr. Carlisle. The Minneapolis Evening Press say s: "In February, 1893, an c fficial 1 of a Western national bank, in high standing in the councils of the Repub lican party of his State, made a busi ress trip to New York, remaining about three weeks. He made his headquarters during his stay at the cffices of his correspondent bank, which was and is a member of the famous Bankers' Committee. He had arranged for a ?can of a large amount of money, when the president asked to what use he intended to put the money. The Western Republican bank president stated that he should at once pay a prior mortgage upon a very valuable farm in the West, upon which his bank held a subsequent en cumbrance. To this statement the New York bank president instantly relied: IDo not pay this mcrtgage. Do not put any morney in real estate. Get all your prerty into money. Am glad you told me about this-why we have just elected Mr. Cleveland upon the distinct understanding 'with us, that he will repeal the Sherman law and appoint a secretary of the treasury who will redeem all green backs ard treasury notes in gold such action will enable us to issue two or three sets of bonds within as many years, and the effects upon the value of western farm lands will be te] - riie, cutting their values in two. No, do not think of paying this mort gage. Let them foreclose and buy it back af ter t wo years for less than the face of the mortgage." And upon am other occasion during this visit, this New York bank presi dent, while engaged in a conversation Iwith the Western banker, asked to be excusd, staling that he must attend a committee meeting that afternoon. "We are formulating Mr. Cleve lands message to Congress." He also at this time advised the Wesener that the Sherman law wou d :e immediately repealed when Mr. C~e'elard was irstalhd!
