lu thU discourse Dr. Taluiago oalls
tor a ?or? deiuoustaUvo religion and a
hearty spcuking out on tho right wide
of everything;, text, Murk Os2(5: "Thou
dumb ?nd. deaf spirit, I charge thee,
come out of him."
Hore -was & caso of great domestic
nug nish. Tho ?on of the household was
possessed of an evil spirit, which,
among other thing?, paralyzed, his
tonguoandmadohim speechless. When
tho influcuco wa* on tho patient, he
se-i??d not say o word-articulation was
Impossible. Tho upirlt that captured
"this mombor of the household was a
dumb spirit-so called by Christ-a
spirit abroad to?day and us lively and
?otcnt as in the Now Tostamont times,
et in all the roalms of sorioondom I
cannot lind a dtscourso concerning this
dumb devil which Christ charged up
on in wy text, saying: "Como out of
him."
'There ba? boen much destructivo su
?icrstitlou abroad in tho world coneern
ng possession by ?vii spirits. Under
the form of bellefin witchcraft, this de
lusion swept tho continents. Poison?
were supposed to bo possessed with
some evil.aptvit, which mad* them able
to destroy o the r.s. lu tho sixteenth con
tury- in Genova 1,500 persons 'were
burned to death os witohes. In ono
neighborhood o? Franco 1,000 persons
wore burned. In twp centurie? 200,000
portons were slain ns Tvltohes. Bu
mighty waa the doluaiou that it includ
ed among its victims some of the great
9?t intellects of nil time, sn oh as Chiof
Justloo Matthew Halo and Sir Edward
Coko, and suoh ron own od ministers of
religion as Cotton Mather, one of whoso
books, Benjamin Franklin said., ?haped
his life-and Ki uh a vd Bastea*, and Arch
bishop Crnnner and Martin Luther;
and, among writers and philosophera,
?l-ord Bacon.. That belief, w hi eh! has
becomo-tho lauding stock of all sen
sible peoplo, counted its disciples
among the wisest and best people of
Sweden, Germany, England, Franco,
Spain and;-New England? But while wo.
roje.ot witchcraft, any man who be
lieves {ho. Bible must boliuYo that there,
oro diabolical agencies abroad in tho
.world. While there aro ministering
spirits to bless there oro infernal spirits
to hinder, to poison and to destroy.
Christ was spcnklng to a spiritual ex
istence when, standing before tho nf
filotcd "one of tho text, ho said: "Thou
dumb Riid deaf spirit, oojne out of him."
Against this dumb devil of tho text I
put you on your guard- Do not think
that this ngent of evil has puthis blight
on thone who, \<g omission of the vocal
organs, havo had the goldon gntes of
spcaoh bolted and barred' Among
those .who have never hpokon a word
sro tho most gracious and lovely and
talented souls, that ?ero ever incarnat
ed. The chaplains o? tho asylums for
tho dumb can tell you enchanting
?tories of thoso who never called thc
mame of fat! or mother or child, and
many of thc xnost devout and prayerful
souls will never in this world speak tho
name of God or Christ,
Thoro has been epo theorization of si
lonee. Some ono hos Bald , silence is
golden, and sometimes the greatest tri
umph ls to keep your mouth shut. But
sometimes sll?noo is a orimo and tho
direct result of thc baleful influence of
tho dumb devil of our text. Thero ls
hardly a man or Svomau who has. not
been present oh como occasion when
tho Christian religion boca mo a target
for raillery. ...Perhaps it was over in
tho 6tore some day when there wa? not
Much going on, and the clerks wero in a
group, or it was in tho factory at thc
noon spell, or it was out on th? form
under tho trees while you wore resting,
tor lt was In tho clubroom, or it was
|n a social,circlo, or it was in the street
on tho way .homo from business, or it
was on some occasion which you re
member without ruy describing it.
Some ono got tho laugh on thu Bible
and oariqatured the profession of re
ligion as hypocrisy, or miidc a pun out
of something that Christ said. Thc
laugh started, and you joined in, and
not one word of protect did you utter.
?What kept you ailontV Modesty? No.
Incapacity to answer? No. Lack of
opportunity? No. It wa? a'blow on
hoth your lips by the wing of thc dumb
devil. If some ono ehould malign your
father or mother or wits or husband
or child, you would flush up quick and
?ither with au Indignant word or'
doubled up fist multo response. And
yet here ls our Christian religion which
has done so mvtoh for you nnd so muoh
for tho world that it will take all etcr'
uity to celebrate, it, and yet whon it was
attacked you did not so much assay:
"^1 differ. I object. I am corry to hear
"you say that.. Thero is another sido
to this." You Christian pooplo ought
lu such times a? these to go armed, not
tvith earthly weapons, but with the
sword of the spirit. You ought to have
four or.?ve questions with whioh you
could confound any man who attacks
Christianity.-j, A man 90 years old was
telling me how ho put to flight a scoffer.
My. aged friend said to tho skoptic:
/'Did you ever read th* history of
Joseph In tho Bible?" "Yes," said the
nunn, "lt is a fino story, and ns interest
ing a story ?J I e'er read." "Well,
now," said my old friend, "supposo that
?caount of Joseph stoppod half way?"
"Oh," said.the man, "thon lt would not
be entertaining." "Well, now," Bald my
friend, "we have in this world only, half
of everything, and do you not think
!that whoa wo hoar tho last half things
'may ba consistent, aud that then we
may find that God was right?"
Oh, friends, better load up with af sw

do at him with a few such questions,
aud ho will got so red in th* faoe as to

You will put him on a rout eemparod

points, and I promise you riotory. Shall
suoh a roan se you, shall auoh a woman

est spirits 'that ever smoked up from
the pit-the dumb devil spoken of in the
text?
But thon there are occasions when
this particular e pl vit that Christ exor
cised when He said: "I charge thee
to tome out of him," takes people by ;
tho wholesalo. In th* most responsive
religious audience havo you notloed
how many people never sing at all?
They have a book, and they have a
voieo, and they know hew to read.
They know many of the tunca, end yoi
ere 6tlent while the groat raptures of
music paB? by. Among those who sing
not on? out of a hundred eings loud
enough to hear his own voiee. They
hum it. They givo a sort of religious
grunt. They mako the lips gc, but it ls
Inaudible. 'With a voice strong enough
to atop a nt roc* car one blook away all
they can afford in the praise cf God is
?bout half a whispor. With enough
sopranos, enough altos, enough bassos
to maka a siuall heaven between the
four walls they let the opportunity go
by unimproved. The volume of voice
that asoonda from the largest audience
that over assembled ought to be multi
plied two thousandfold. But the min
ister rise? and given out the hymn, th*
organ begins, tho oholr or precentor
lends, tho audienoo are steading BO
"that the lungs may have full expan
sion, and a mighty harmony is about to
asoend when the evil spirit spoken of
in my text-the dumb devil-spreads
his two wings, ono over the lips of ono
half th* audionoe and th? other wing
over tho lipo of the other half of tho
audieaoo, and the volcas roll back Into
tho throats from which they started,
aud only hore and there anything is
heard, and nino-tenths of tho holy
power is destroyed, and the dumb devil,
is ho flies away, Bays: "I oould not
keep Issao Watts from writing that
hymn, And I could not keep Lowell Ma
son from composing the tune to whioh
it ls ?et, but I smote Into silence or half
silence thc lips from whieh it would
have spread abroad to bless neighbor
hoods and eitles and then mount the
I wide opon heavens." ?Ive tho long
meter doxology the full support of
Christendom, and those four Hues.
would take tho whole earth for God.
That hymn, "Ob, Por a Thousand
Tongues to Sing," was suggested to
Chuides Wcsloy by Peter Bohler, who,
after his conversion, said: "I had
bettor keop silont about it." "No,"
said Wooley, "If you had 10,000
tongues, you had better uso thom for
Christ." And then that angel of
nymuology penned tho words;
Oh. for a thousand tongues to elna
My dear Redeemer's pralso,
Tho KloriT of my Qed and King,
The triumphs of His crace I
Jesus, th* name that calms our (ears,
That bids our sorrows coast;
'Tts muslo In th* tinner's ears;
'Tis Ufo and health and peace.

regiments of mighty tuaes made in

from all our ohurohos.

ly silent. For all timo and eternity
Vfo missed our chanoo, or it was a
j?rayer meeting, and the sevvico was
thrown open for prayer and remarles,
and there was a do'ad halt-every
thing* silent as a graveyard at mid
night. Indeed, lt was a graveyard
and midnight. An embarrassing pauso
took place that put a wot blanket
on all tho mooting. Mon, bold enough
ou business exohange or in worldly
circles, shut their eyes as though thoy
wero praying in silence, tout thoy
wero not praying at all. They were
busy hoplug somebody else would do,
his duty. The women flushed under
the awful pause and made their fans
inoro rapidly ?l.ut-to?. Some brother,
with no cold, ooughed, hy that sound
trying to All up the time, and .the
meeting was slain. But what killed
lt? The dumb dovil. This la tho way
I ncoOUT l for tho fact that the stu
pidest places on earth are eeino

a man can keep any graco if ho regu

"The face of tho statue is thus cov

But do not let the world deride the

The great political parties assemble at
the proper time to build platforms for
the candidates to stand on. A commit

"Whoreas," and "Whcroos." Pro

idea o? getting tho most votes. AU ex

evils of the country ignored. No ox

Of God in the history of nation-., foi

But "Whereas," and 41 Whereas," am
"Wheres?." Nine cheers will bo givei

evin to themselves to wbispor, thc ul
mi-takablo truth.. Non another alarm,
another firo boll mingles its sound with
tbogtnoral chorus of disoord, shouts
of tho soldiery, tho frightened orien
of tho people-yells of tho drunkon
.roots-all a seething, maddening tur
bulonoo in tho crowded streots. A larid
giaro shoots up abovo tho house
tops, then the' oiaokling and roaring
of tho dread olomonts told but too
plainly that the beautiful oity was soon
to bo wrapped in llamea. Tho eaok and
pillogo ha i begun I '
THE LOOT OF THE YANKMEfl.
Few mon boing in tho oity, tho wo
men, with raro heroism, sought to savo
some I itt lo necessity of lifo, only to
seo it sliuok to tho floor or snatched
from their hands and spattered in tho
streots. lloro would bo n lono woman
huggirg an infant to her broast, with a
fow strips of clothing hanging on her
anni ; helpless orphans lugging an old
trunk or chest, now. containing all they
oould oall their own--thoso would h?
snatched away, broken opon, contents'
rifled by tho drunken soldiers, or if
not valuable, trampled undor foot.
Soldiers, with axes and hammers,
ruehod from houso to houso, broaking
in doors, smashing trunks, boxes, bu
reaus and robbing thom of all that ?van
valuable, then leaving tho house, in
fiamos. Helpless women, Eoreaming
ohildron, bahes in tho arms, invalids ia
bods, jolted and jostled against tho
'surging mob-^npno to help, nono toad
vise-thoio dofonooloss flufforors rauh
ed aimlessly about, their sole purposo
hoing to avoid the fiamos and seek a
plaoo of safety. Tho fires originated
urinoipnlly in the abuthom seotioi) of
tho oity, and as tho fire attf its way up,
the howling throng followed, driving
tho innooont and helpless ahoad.
As tho night wore on, tho drunken
F.oldiors, first made intoxicated by (ho
winbin, privato collars ortho liquors
in government buildings, now booanio
beastly drunk in their gleo at tho sight
Ot tho dentruotion thoy had wrought.
Tho womon and ohildron followed the
dark background of that part of tho city
not yet in flamea. Tho f?deral officers,
inetoad of offering asiiatanoo or ?help
log hand to tho ruined wad dlbtroanod
pooplo, addod intuit to Injury by Join
ing with the private soldier? in tb?
plunderlog of tho oity, insulting tho
woroon and adding fuoi to tho llamo.
All night long did tho fiamos rage,
leap, and lick tho clouds as ono hlnnV
of buildings af tor anotfior fell-food for
tho dovouring elements. This drunk?
rn orgio wno koot up till thoir ornven
hoarts wcro fully natisttod. A few
square in tho northeastern part of tho
oity woro loft, ?IBO sovoral ohurohos,
and into thoso tho womon and chil
dren wcro hauled and paokod, and bad
to romain for days and some for weoke,
almost on tho verge of starvation. Tho
fodoral commander, through tho bound
loss diotatos of bis sympathetic hoart,
after destroying ?ll that fire aodiapinc
oould roach, left tho starving thous?
ands a few rations oaoh of the plundor
bo had robbed of tho planters in tho
oountry.
DESTITUTION.
No vehicles or hornos woro left in the
oity's limits-the bridges burned that
led aerees tho rivor to tho wost. To
the oast, Blair's Oorps was laying
wanto everything in its pathway, while
abovo and bolow tho city, for a distanoo
of 50 milos, Sherman had swopt tho
oountry as baro as if a blight had fallon
upon it. How tho por plo of Columbia
mb-ia tod during tho limo thoy wcro
penned in tho oity olin rohen and tho
tow buildings loft, will ever remain a
mystery, and to nono io much as tho
sufferers thotnsolves.
Grains of oom woro eagerly pioked
up ia tho streotsas they dropped from
tho wagons, and tho womon and obil
dron of tho lower olass and tho negroos
flocked to tho doaortod camps to gather
up tho orumbo loft by tho soldiers or
tho grains iramplod under foot of tho
horses.
Eaoh house in a slrotoh of 50 milos
was ontotod and insulto and indignities
offered tho dofor.olrss women which
woulu havo shamed tho savage Turk.
Ladies woro forood to disoloBO at tho
point of tho pistol or tho sabre, tho
hiding plaoo of their littlo valuables
Sjrao woro forood to cook meals and
wait upon the hell hounds, while they
regaled thomBolvos upon tho ohoioo
viands or medicinal winos of thc plan
tors' wives. Bul bo it known to thoir
immortal honor, that it was only on
ino most raro occasions that tho prond
dames of tho South oould, oitbor by
throat or brutal troatmont, bo forood to
yiold to thoir insolent domando. With
tho orders from the soldiers to "proparo
a meal" or ''disoloBO tho whereabouts
of thoir monoy or valuables," carno tho
threat, "Wo will burn your houso if
you do not.', But almost invariably
carno tho quiok responso, "Burn it
burn it, you cowardly wrotohos, and
kill mo, if you wish, and all of us, but
1 will never noil my bands by watting
upon a cowardly Yankee, nor toll you
tho placo of oonooalmont-find it if
you ear.." Tho soldiers would question
tho negroos to find if thero were any
watches, silver plato, or monoy bolong
ing to tho houaoliold; if so, they would
by a bj stem of icquosition, attempt t)
foroo tho women lo givo it up, but in
vain.
A BRAY? WOMAN.
A woman, Mrs. Miller, the wife of a
neighbor of mine, had her husband's
gold watch in bor bosom, dnd refused
io givo it up ff ken demanded, oven
wbou a oocked pistol was at her head
The vandal struck her a fc tunning blow
with tho butt ond of tho pistol-all in
vain. Tho bravo he roi no hold to tho
heirloom, and stoutly rosistod all on
treaties nod thronte.
Two old people living near mo, broth
er and m aldon sin tor, named Loner,
both past threo Booro, wcro asked to
givo their money. Thoy had nono. Bat
ono of tho ruth sus throw a Tito undor
tho bed, tay ing:
"I will put it out if you will toll mo
Woore you keep your monoy; you havo
it, fer I'vo neon so informed."
"Lotit burn," answorcd tho obi wo
man ; "Do you tbink to frighten or
intimidate mo by buming my houso
tb&t I will toll what I ohooso to con
ooal? Do you think I oaro so muoh for
my hottio and its bolongirgi? No,
no; you mistake tho wornt n of tho
South, you will never conquer her poo
plo by . making war upon defonooleas
women. Lot tho houso go up in fiamos,
and my ashes minglo with its ashos,
but I will romain truo to myself, my
oountry lind my God."
S jon all that wai loft of tho onoo
happy homo was a heap of ashos. Will
God, in His wisdom, ovor havo causo to
again oroato suoh womon as thoso of
tho Southland? Or woro there ovor con
ditio ns in tho world's history that re
quited tho prosonco of suoh noblo mar
tyrdom as was displayed by tho wo
men of tho South during tho Oivil
War?
But a Nomosis in thia caso, AS in
maoy others, was lurking noar. Bands
of Confederates and ooouts had- scat
tered thomsolvos on tho flanks and rou
ofthoonomy; old mon and boys and
dhablod ve tor an* woro lying in wait in
many thiokots and out of tho way
plaoes, ready to pounce upon tho ua?
suspooting frcobootors and givo to them
thoir just dosorts. Was it any wonder
that so roany hundreds and thousands,
of tneso Gotha failed to answer to Sh.no
man's last roll oall? Boforo tho sun was
many hours oidor; af tor tho burning of
tho Loner homostoad, tho dreaded
"bunhwhaokors" were on the trail of
tho vandals.
For yoars aftorwards pooplo, from
ourlosity, oamo to look at a hean of
boneo in a thickot near, blcaobod j by

some of tho older mon, pointing to tho

To Sixty-four Leic?iletors Who Voted
for ffrec Pause?.
Tho following utain talk fruin ?n??r
son Maii is commended to tho sixty
four members of tho House of ltopro
aontativoa Who voted for free passes:
And tho house by a voto of 64 to
38 ropeal?d tho nnti-froo. pass laWl j
Sixty-four mombcra of tim.. houso want
tho railroads to givo them fro o pasaos
when tho State glvoB. thom 0 cont?:

oonts of that cloar, as tho railroad faro
la only 3 oonts a mito, and if they
buy a mileage book it is only 'M oonts,
so that tboy oan mako half of lt cloar.
But ,"hatovcr it ia tho State paja it
and moro too, and yot thoao 64 want
froo peleaos. For what? The railroads
aro willing to givo them-and why?
You plain po?plo who work'on your
f'.rmii and bu3?t>o8B mon who stand in
your places of buainoaa day after day
aak yourselves why ' thean railroads sro
willing ta givo lhasa fron URBROR and
thon givo a plain, common sonto
answer to it. Do railroads do buainoaa
for tho fut? of the thing? Do thoy not
oxpoot roturna cf some port for every
investment? And isn't tho giving of
froo pasaos an investment? And do
not tho railroads know that, these leg
ialators may havo to pass on legislation
affooting railroads? And don't thoy
know that ovory legislator who aooepts
a freo pass from thom is to that oxtont
under an obligation to thom? Thoy
do not oall it bribory or an attempt to
buy a man's influonoo or hie voto, ' Oh
no, th?y havo a nioor namo for it than
that. Thoy oall lt exchanging courte
sies. "Courtesies'* is a heap pleasanter
word and there is no unpleasant odor
about it. ThoBo legislators aro sont
thoro to roproBont tho intoroata of tho
pooplo and somo of thom havo a hosp
to tay about tho "denr pooplo" and
"my pooplo" and tho pooplo pay thom
for their services, and not only pay
thom by tho day but go fernher and
pay thom a good allowanoo for travel
ing oxponsos in tho sbapo of miloage,
and thon they go and ask tho railroads
for froo pasaoa.
Why should a representative ask for
a froo puss? J?an ho bo truo to tho
trust reposed io bim when an isauo is
joinod botweon tho pooplo and tho
railroads? Admit for tho anko of tho
argument that ho can, then why should
ho put himself in a position to bo nis
peotod? A truo ropro8ontativo ought
t> bo liko Caesar's wife, above SUB
pioion. Wo do not boliovo it ia right
for legislators to aooopt freo passes for
tho roanon aa atated above that the
railroada oxpoot a return of tho cour
tesy and a legislator should koop him
self freo from any sort of obligation to
them-not in any spirit of hostility to
thom, but to maintain attitudo of
fsirnosa and impartiality.
Woori tho Urform movement bogan

Gov. Tillman aoooptod freo p'aaa No. 1
this editor exo'u'latod' h hu mercilessly
for aooeptlng it; and tho anti froo pass
law followo ' and baa stood for 10
years, and wo havo no doubt that nitio
tonlhs of tho pooplo today ondorsoH't

Spears, oaid .tho law ia' a'?'I'reflection
upon tho integrity of tho jubilo mon ?f
