HAMPTON HIGHLY HONORED.
Veterans March in Body to Great
Chieftain’s Home.
Wade Hamp'oa who has been de
scribed by Gen. Gordon as the greatest
man the State of South Carolina, ever
produced, was-honored yesterday as
but few men are ever honored on this
earth. It is rare that it falls to the lot
of man to have such tribute paid to
him by hundreds of men,each of whom
is himself a hero. Gen. Hampton was
much affected 'by the remarkable
demonstration of affection and regard
made by the grizzled survivors of many
a blOody battlefield and dashing charge;
so much so that towards the end of the
address to his men his voice was fal.
tenng, and he spoke with difficulty.
His heait was full to overtlowiug. it
was a sight that those who witnessed
can never forget. It carried to all the
lesson that honor, chivalry aud integ
rity have a reward that no other quah-
ficaiioos can procure.
It was about 5.30 o’clock when the
Confederate veterans in the city fell
into line at the intersection of Gervais
and Main streets for the purpose of
marching to Geo. Hampton's home
and pa)iog tribute to him. The pro
cession was beaded by Gen. Walker
and staff and Adjl Flennisen. of Camp
Hampton, bearing ibe division colors,
and Col. J. Fuller Lyon, commanding

fields; wherever you led—for, sir, you
always led wheievei there was fight
ing to be done. (Applause.) There
are men who we^e with yen when you
took command of the Confederate cav
alry in 18<i4, and where at Hawes’ shop
you planted its dismounted lines before
the advancing corps of Hardy and
Sherman and wrenched Richmond
from their grasp with an insignificant
little body of dismounted cavalry. The
excuse of these men then was that
you had been reenforced. That was
always their excuse; but, sir, there
was nothing in it.
“And so, sir, when Shertnau met you
at Trevalian Station, where the Enfield
rifle was in the grasp ot the cavalry
men instead of the useless s^bre, Sher
man as he rode away from the field
wrote to bis chief that he was met by
Uhmpton’s cavalry, but that it was re
enforced by Early’s division of in
fantry, and that their combined forces
were too great for him. But, sir, you
k ow that you, with a force less than
half as great as bis own, bad com*
pc lied him to retire from the field in
utter dUordir.
“Aud now, comrades, I present to
you a chieftain worthy not only of
your admiration, for Gen. Hampton

love and affection, for he won that
long, long ago, but worthy of the high-

read how the poor creatures begged

John Calvin, and is that adopted by
the Reformed Chorch in France in
1659. A liturgal form has al ways been
used and this >s believed to have bet n
that of the church of Geneva. After
the fl^e of 1740, which destroyed, all
the records of the church, die Liturgy
of Neufchatel and Vjllangin v was
adopted and is still in use. From the
year 1816 to 1819 the French language
was partially disused—preaching alter
nately between this and the English.
This gave much dissatisfaction and a
return to the exclusive use of French
was made. But that tongue had large
ly ceased to be spoken or understood,
aud in 1828 it was decided to employ
only the English tongue in the service.
The French liturgy was referred to an
eminent committee for translation, and
it has ever since been used. Borne
changes were made in the order and
arrangement of the Liturgy of Neuf
chatel and Villangiu, and some addi
tions, copied from the book of the
French church lit' London and kindred
sources. Borne occasional and con

Northern Fanatical Preacher
“ Fret not thyself because tf evil

comfort iu that psalm, lit frcqueSt
perus.il will fortify us against trouble
sod leave us calm and serene at least
fot s lime. Rut. I don’t believe that
David had as many things to exasper
ate him as we do. Now here is a
Chicago religious paper sent to me to
disturb my tranquility. It contains a
sermon recently delivered by the editor
to a large congregation of his followers
and they said amen and amen at every
malediction that he uttered against our
people. I don’t fret myself about
what a Not them- preacher says uor a
Northern editor writes, but I don’t
like Lbqt amen aud amen from the
saints, and it grieves me to realize that
the .more maliguant an editor is against
us the more subscribers his paper
gets. Now this Chicago editor says iu
his sermon:
“ If. 1 were president when the next
lynching takes place in the South I
would put a cordon around Ihatdistrict
and hang a hundred of them and l
would shoot a hundred. Worthy of
cannibals are the horrible things carried
on in the South. As sure as you live
these eight million negroes will-one

for blood, then woe to you iu the black
belt. You Southerners with your re
bellious pride elill left you lynch the
poor negro for the very crime that your
fathers committed on their slaves.

than speak. God will judge you—yon

A Negro Bishop Advocates the
Banishment of All Criminals.
Bishop Henry M. Turner, of the
African Methodist church, advocates
man says that while traveling
rope last sumioer he visited Venice,
and among tbe inatitutkma of that city
which particularly interested him was
a public bathing resort.
A few days later, while in Pisa, aod
wandering about its famous leaniqg
tower, he encountered two young wo
men, whose conversation, a few words
of which he overheard, satisfied him
they were Americans. He introduced
himself, and they were delighted to
meet him. They had just arrived to
Pisa and were very dusty and travel'
stained.
On learning that he had come from
Venice they questioned him eagerly
concerning the attractions of tha place,
as that was on their itinerary.
“ Weil,” he begso,you will want
to go rb (he Malamocco aod take a
bath” —
“ Sir j” they exclaimed, tarnigg
away instantly, and leaving him to the
realization of the fact that to ill inno
