PULPIT OLOQUENCE.
Some of the Noted Preachers
Have been Brought to New
York UndeF Contract.
The droll attempt to apply the
law prohibiting the “importation
of foreign contract labor” to the case
of an Episcopal clergyman brought
from England under contract to fi’l
the p’aeo of rector of the Chorch
the lloly Trinity, reminds me of a
curious change that t/m h ,s taken
plnce in New York since the close
of the war. One cannot help being
astonished at the number of
clergymen in the city who have been
brought over here from abroad to
IK of our fashionable
ike a few facts, In
my boyhood, leading clergyman of
the Episcopal denomination here
was the Rev. Dr. Tyng, an Ameri¬
ca* by birth; bnt now that plaec ig
held by an Englishman of racert
immigration. The. leading clergy¬
man of die' Presbyterian denomina¬
tion was tho Key Dr. Spring, an
American by birth; but now that
place is held by the Rev. John
Hall, a Belfast Irishman discovered
by Robert Bonner. The leading
clergyman of the Congregationalisf
denomination was the Rev. Dr.
Joseph Thomson, an American by
birth, but now the place is held by
the Rev: Dr Taylor, a Scotchman
brought here as Mr. Thompson’s
successor in the Tabernacle, The
leading clergyman of the Unitarian
church was the Rev. Dr. Bellows,
a born American; but now that
place is held by the Rev Robert
Cotlyfcr, hr. Englishman who came
here some years ago. The leading
clergyman of the Dutch reformed
church was the Rev. Dr. Yermilyea,
of old American stock, but now the
place is held by the Rev Dr Orrais
ton who came to this country under
“contract*” The leading clergy¬
man of the Bdecherite fnirii was ifs
renowned founder, Henry Ward
Beecher; lut now even Plymouth
church is desirous of securing the
services of Rev. Dr. Parker of Eng¬
land as Mr. Beecher’s successor. If
we go dowu train such iambus men
to the lesser lights of the New York
put, we find the change in the same
direction to be still more remarkable
Almost' every year clergymen are
Drought over from the British Isles
for some of*our churches:
Why this dearth of acceptable
clergymou of American birth in these
days, when they used to be so abun¬
dant in other times? There is no
scarcity of ability and eloquence iu
politics cr the la rr as to compel us
import a supply Lorn abroad/ wby
should there be scarcity of talent in
tbe pulpit. We have plenty of the¬
ological schools for tiainm ( clergy
men of all denominations, and sev- 1
eral th jusauds of young theologians
who ought to be well equipped are
turned out from them eyery year.
The professors iu these institutions
cannot be less compe 1 eut than those
an similar institutions abroal, and
it cannot be admitted that the pu
pils arc any way inferior to those
who are preparing for the clerical
profession in England, There is
something incomprehensible in this
business. The salaries paid to tbe
leading lights are large, and th*
clergy enjoy many perquistes which
highly increase emoluments. Beside
the financial inducements the men
of the cloth enjoy a social standing,
with opportunities of winning fame,
such as are not easily secured in
other vocations.
I am not aware that the experU
ence of other American mtics is
like that of New York in thi* m*t
u?r, but any future discussion of tiie
subject most be left to tbi rslijjioui
papers, which ottg it to trace it to
roots and furnish ii* Mtom fsete. j

TIIE GREATEST EXHIBIT.
Mr Giady’s Blu lies Called

We have frequently been asked
what i* the greatest exhibit on

hesitatingly “Henry Grady.”

secured the attendance of the
President, and Grady who got the

said te Gfady on the grounds, just
as we were finishing dinner,
“Grady, 1 have often heard of a man

and blushed, and started to retreat
but returned and related a funny
experience at the ground the night

A NORTHERN ESTIMATE OF
GENERAL LEE.
Theodore Roosevelt of New York
is the author of the “Life of Thomas
H Benton” in the “American States¬
man Series.”
In describing the different char¬
acteristics of the people of this
country Mr. Roosevelt pays tbe
following tribute to General Lee:
“The Southerners, by their whole
mode of living, th*ir habits, and
their love of outdoor sports, kept up
their war like spirit; while in the
North the so-called upper classes
developed along the line of a timid
bourgeois type, measuring every¬
thing KC amerchanlila standard (a
peculiarly debasing one if taken by
itself,) and submitting to he ruled
in local affairs by law, foreign mobs,
an 1 in national affairs by their are
rogant Sou'hern kinsmen.
The militant spirit of these last
certainly stood them in go*d stead
during the *ivi/ war. The world
has never seen b tier soldiers than
those that followed Lee; and their,
Icadei will undoubtedly rank ns
without any exception the very
greatest of all the great chieftains
that the English speaking people
have brought forth—and this, al¬
though the last and chiet of his an¬
tagonists may himself claim to stand
as -he full equal of Marlborough and
W ellington.

PROGRESSIVE TEXAS.
Second Oulj to Georgia In Pro¬
gressive Citizens.
Tax as, in most respects, is a pio..
gressivc State. In the ''matter of pub¬
lic seheols it lias been quite enter¬
prising lately. '1 tie State appro
priations arc quito libe. nl and the
large cities support oxc (lent eduva-'
tional systems. Tex ts realizes its
pressing need of edtiouioa and is
moving to meet u with largo and
intelligent views. Texas is not as
bad s State ns people who have
never been there arc apt to sup pose
The policy of the State has been ex¬
panding steadily for the past ten
years. Once, in a while a reactionist,
like ex-Govcrnor Ireland, has man¬
aged to attain prominence, but the
State is controlled by the younger
and more progressive element.
Judge Reagan is about the only “old
timer” who 13 now prominent in Texas
and lie was elected to the Senate by
the accidents and combinations of a
hree cornered race. If he had the
contest to make now it is certain that
si dozen men iu the state could easily
beat him. Texas is catching the pace
which Georeia set for the Southern
States years ago iu the great march of
true progress. The Lone Star State
an t the Empire State of the South are
now in a much better condition than
most of the Sonthern States. Georg io
is inthe lead, but Texas is doing
“mighty well.” Wo rejoice in her
prosperity olid trust it may increase.
What is it like? It is though
tho sun had torst covering the
heavens with its blazing gases. The
waters for five hundred feet aboui
the ship are darkened as by the
snddden rush of a storm above, ami
a great cirele of water is driven into
a wave waist hiflh, widening sea¬
ward and shore ward. The ship
itself sinks deeper into the sta and
tremblings springs back again, leak¬
ing in a hundred joints. The face
of the wat«r is covered with foam
Ouer the land dotted with human
beings who gaze awestruck eii the
scene, runs a tremor, and a sullen
roar as though the earthqiuk* had
joined to affright the hills.
The ship had lost its course. The
engines ar« still, and it floats broad¬
side to the land. And the man
miles away, standing by the great
gun studies it with a powerful
girss. No living thing is visible
upon its d^k; n o hand guides jts
movements. Hi shakes his head to
the gunner behind him waiting fur¬
ther ciders.
“It is enough.”
Night draws her curtains over
the scene and tho drifting ship sur¬
rounded by an armada of dead fish,
has settled to the sands. Upon her
decks, in her shattered cabins and
pliet houses above and below,
“The many men mj beautiful.

mouth?, ears and nostrils, Thus
are they found.

A Magnificent Pen Pictnre of
Destructive Power.
Macon Telegraph: Let us see
A magnicent war ship, the best the
world ever saw, carrying a crew of
five hundred man, steams into Now
York Harbor. There is a puff of
white smoke front a long gun in a
distant baitcy ashore and a gigan¬
tic missle, carrying two hundred
pounds of dynamite, springs into the
air ami describing a parabolic curve
descends towards the approaching
vessel. Hendreds of eyes aboard
see it coining. There is no esc.tpt
There is no chance to stop or turn
the ponderous vessel. Silence of
the impending and inevitable doom,
fall# upon the crowded deck. Like
a swan upon the waters glides the
ship; nearer comes the fatal shaft.
It’s upward flight was like the rock¬
et’s. Its lessening curve has
straightened almost to a perpendicu¬
lar line, and its downward sweep is
as the swift rush o‘ nn eagle. No
ear hears it, bui! within the heart
of the mighty destroyer a little
clock is clicking away the seconds.
ten remain of its mission; now
it is eight, si*, four, two, and a
spring clicks above a hidden cap.
The steam pressure that threw the
thing aloft was ten pounds to heavy.
It is fifty foot above the \ essel when
the c?p is struck and tho explosion

Gen Sheridan recently, expressed
;he opinion that the appliances of
war weve becoming so deadly that
the time was not far of when ar¬
mies could no longer be put in the
field against each ether, and war
would end. Ilis opinion is perhaps
not justified by facts, ns battles
become less and less bloody with the
improvement of arms, in propojtion
re tlie numbeis engaged. The small
standihg armi-s of a century ago,
however have grown into millions
involving an enormous outlay and
here lies the best augury ot' disarm*
i ient and peace. Even a victorious
war may mean bankruptcy, as came

Congress. Th# members of Parlia
ment represent 250 members of that
body. The purpose of the delegation
in coming to the United States is to
present to Congress and appeal for
perpetual peace between Great Britain
and the United States. It is proposed
that the precedent set by the Alabama
claims case be followed hereafter, and
that a treaty to that effect be entered
into.
It is peculiarly appropriate that
the first attempt to secure lasting
poiee between themselves should be
made by the two great English
speaking peoples. They have like
institutions and to a great degree
iiko objects, their language nml liter¬
ature are the same, and their peoples
are devoted entirely to industrial
pursuits. Among all the people of
the civilized world, it is only the
Americar.B and English who are not
born to be soldiers. With them
soldiering is a trade or profession
which a man may adopt if his tastes
run that way; with other people sit
is a national business, in which every
u<an must perforce take part.
Though both have been engaged
iu many wars, they are nevertheless
the best repreaeututiyee of the peace¬
ful policy necessary to the well-be¬
ing of industrial and commercial pur¬
suits. Their peoples love peace,
and it cannot be doubted that if the
miuter were submitted to a vote the
missions of the English delegation
to Congress would meet with tho
hearty indorsement of both nations.
Iu this country it can meet the
condemnation only of that class of
interested po/jti c inng wi.i arc con¬
stantly prtaobitig tho doctrine that
England is the arch enemy of all
mankind, corrupting with her gold
where she cannot conquer with her
bayonets, in order that their sopliis'

IIOW TIIET TRAVEL IN NOR¬
WAY.
Kxcellent ltonds and Comfortable Vo
lilolos—Font and Slow Stations limn.
The be land comfortable; traveling in Norway lias come
to very the roads ore ex¬
cellent. Apart from a railroad for a
short distance out from Bergen and a
railroad from Christiania to Trendlijem
there are subotantially no public convey¬
ances. You travel in two wheel vehicle.!
known ns carioles, which carry only ono
person, or in a stolkjaerro, which carries
two. There are no springs, except tliat
obtained by an arrangement of tho seat;
but this makes them generally very com¬
fortable. You drive yourself, and tho
toy or girl who is to take .ke the the liorao horse and and
vehicle bock stands or aits or hangs be¬
hind. Ho will drivo from behind if you
desire. The way the Norwegian horses
have of going at a breakneck pace down
hill reminds mo of our boyish exp cession,
“lickety cut. ’ ’ You can ordinarily mako
about eight miles an hour, including n
change of horses, if you aro not detained
by tho fact that eo many travelers Yiavo
gono before you that they have exhausted
the supply of horses, in which case you
may lrnvo to wait some horns.
The charge for vehicles in Norway is
very reasonable. Stations aro established
at distances of about eight or ten miles.
These stations are of two classes—ono fa
a fast and tho other an ordinary station.
At fho fast stations there must always ready bo
kept a opecitled number of horses
for travelers except when they are in uso
by preceding travelers. At tho slow sta¬
tions no horses aro required to bo kept,
but time is given to send out to'tho
far mers near and bring them in. There
is, however, a system which is not much
used by which you may send a notifica¬
tion ahead and have horses ready oven tho at
tho slow stations. In theory all
horses are furnished by tho farmers.
This is required at a price so low that it
is regarded as a tax upon them, but
since traveling has increased so much
arrangements seem to liavo been made
by which the keeper of tho station as¬
sumes tho farmers’ burden and furnishes
tho horses. They aro also required only to
furnish a vehicle, but this obligation cariole of
extends to the rough country
two wheels, with only a seat for one, and
without springs. In fact, however, tho
vehicles furnished are quite comfortable.
At a fast station you pay less than five
cents a kilometer for the horse, harness
and veliicle, and the boy to take it back.
If you get a stolkjaerro, which has seats
for two, you pay about seven ce*ts.
Sixteen kilometers are equal to ten miles.
Tho amount of baggago allowed fa
small, yet sufficient for an ordinary trav¬
eler o use. In the stoikjaerro it goes of
under the scat, whore there fa plenty
room. In a cariole it is fastened beliind,
and the skyd, which fa tho name of the
boy who goes along to take tho vehicle
bock, rides or stands upon it. You can
always carry in a cariole a small legs—and parcel—
on tho floor between your

what takes tho place of it. It fa astonish¬
ing how enduring tho Norwegian footed, hors; a
arc. They aro tough, small, sure
good natured animals, who will start out
at a trot and keep it up thirty miles with¬
out stopping, going that distance in four
hours. Tho harness fa of the simplest
poasiblo make. There are no traces, even
when you have two horses, but always
shafts, to which tho harness fa fastened
by pegs. There is an arch of wood over
the horse’s head, through rings in which
the reins pass, and wliich fa arranged the so
as to take much of tho weight from
collar. The reins are rope or twisted
leather. comfortable,
The hotels or inns arc
with no elegance, but always, without
exception, clean, and. tho food fa fair. In
these respects Norway has made great and
improvements within a few years,
improvements aro going on in increased
ratio. Tbe scenery in riding in Norway,
much of it, is exceedingly beautiful. I
