MACON, FEBRUARY 17, 1871.
Cincinnati anti Georgia.
fflie notion of the legislature of Kentucky in
refusing the right of way to a railway between
Cincinnati and Georgia has resulted in a simul
taneous appeal from Chattanooga and Cincin
nati, and constructively from Georgia also, by
two commissioners (Judge Bigham and Arthur
Hood), to Congress, to demand Federal legisla
tion on the subject, under that clause of tho
Constitution which empowers Congress to es
tablish post-roads,etc. Cincinnati has appointed
a committee of seven and Cbattanaoga one del
egate to present tho matter to Congress.
°We regret these appeals to tho Federal Gov
ernment to extend it3 jurisdiction over Stalo
territory and State affairs. Congress is only too
ready to do it, and to siezo every occasion to
deprive the State Governments of tho little
power left to them over their own local affairs.
Such suits cannot fail to illustrate, in time, the
old fablo of the controversy about tho oyster,
in which tho umpire swallowed the meat and
divided tho shell between tho disputants.
But, at the samo time, candor compels us to
say that tho courso of Kentucky in this matter
lias heon exceedingly illiberal and unwise. To
imagine that she can long force travel and trans
portation through Louisville in this way, is a
conception unworthy of her common sense, and
the attempt to do it will only create an unfriend
ly feeling towards her in regions whi'ch it is her
highest interest to conciliate. Her interposi
tion will delay tho completion of tho Southern
Road, bat cannot prevent it.
The Great Fenian Turn-Out.
The greatfenian demonstration in New York,
in honor of the Irish exiles, i3 said to have
numbered 25,000 persons, and seems to have
been engineered altogether by the Democrats.
Richard O'Gorman was the orator, and Wm. M.
Tweed, Marshal of the day. Tweed made a
place for the negroes in the procession, and
there was a pretty general tum-ont of tho sons
of Africa. This was poaching on the Radical
manor, and creates a great deal of trouble
among the politicians of that class. They say
they made tho negroes voters to offset them
against the Irish Democrats, and now if the ne
groes go with the Irish instead of going against
them, it is “tolerable and not to be endured.’
They also maledict the cunning and io% man
agement of the Tammany Tweedyites in a very
profane manner. The ways of New York politi
cians are principally subtci nnean anyhow.
The Southern and Atlantic Telegraph
Company.—Dr. Wm. S. Morris, formerly of
Richmond, Va., and who will be remembered
by many of our readers as president of the tel
egraph comfAnies in the South daring the war,
now general agent of the above named company,
oalled on ns yesterday. Ho has been traveling
in. South Carolina and Georgia, and obtained
many subscriptions from business men in Char
lotte, N. C., Columbia, S. C., Charleston, S. C.,
Savannah and Augusta, Ga. He will spend a
few days in Macon to interview the business
men of this place upon the same subject. He
will present the views held by him and others as
to tho advantages of the enterprise. The line
now runs to Richmond, Petersburg, Lynchburg
and Danville, Va., and is in process of con
struction to other points in North and South
Carolina. They propose to run a line direct by
Charlotte, N. G., Colombia, S. C., Augusta and
Macon, Ga., southwest, with branches to
Charleston, Savannah and Atlanta. The certifi
cate of stock guarantees there shall be no dispo
sition made of the lines, by sale, lease or other
wise, bnt with the written consent of three-
fonrths of the stock.
Two members of the West Virginia Legisla
ture lately took the sleeping cars to go to Graf
ton. The cars were crowded, and the two had
to sleep together. One was fat; the other was
lean; the fat man snored, and tho lean man
therefore lay awake. At about midnight tho
insomnic legislator could no longer stand the
stentorous breathing of his mate, and arose and
sat by the fire. An old lady entered and wanted
a place to sleep. “Go to my berth,” said the
sardonio lean one; “I left my little boy asleep
there; I shall sit up. I must think of legisla
tive things.” So tho lady went to the berth dis
posed of useless clothing, and lay down. Pres
ently the “boy” kicked. Then the lady patted
him on the back and said, “Lie still, sonny;
pa said I might sleep along with you.” “O ho!’
roared the bison—a hoy no more but a bison.
“Thunder! who are you ? I ain’t a boy. I’m a
member of the West Virginia Legislature.” Tho
lady went into a swoon, nor conld sho be aroused
till tho fat man promised her that he would have
the lean one impeached.
The Orleanists Rising Again.—The French
Orleanists say that Count Robert of Paris will
be King of France in a few weeks, and this
scorns not altogether improbable. The Count
is a grand son of Louis Phillippe, and in direct
succession from that monarch. His father, the
Duko of Orleans, the oldest of five sons ofLonis
Phillippe, was killed during that reigD, by acci
dent, in the streets of Paris. If wo remember
rightly, (having no work of reference conven
ient) ho was thrown from a horse or out of a
carriage, and killed almost instantly, leaving
one child, Connt Robert, then an infant, and
now between thirty-five and forty years old.
Tho Revolution of 1848 drove Louis Phillippe
and his whole family from the throne and from
France. They took refuge in England, where
the Empress Eugenie, the representative of the
Baonaparte dynasty, followed them in the same
way twenty-two years afterwards.
A Horrible Death.—The Cincinnati Times
gives tho particulars of one of the most horrible
occurrences we have ever heard of. It happened
in Beckett's paper mill, at Hamilton, Ohio, last
Saturday week, and resulted in the death of
Miss Martha Breckenheart, an employee in the
mill. She foil from the third story of the mill
into the hopper on the floor beneath, which is
used for grinding rags. As soon as the ponder
ous machinery could be brought to a stand-still,
the whole force of the establishment roshed to
the hopper to soe what had become of their
friend and companion. Tho hopper was found
to bo nearly empty, but the shreds of blood
stained rags gave painful evidence of the trage
dy that had just been enacted. A hurried ex
amination of the receiving trough below showed
the remains of the girl crushed into a shapeless
mass, and ground into pulpy mince meat.
Cotton Figures.—Up to last Friday crop re
ceipts had ran up to 2,510,651 bales, against
1,933,834, at tho same lime last year, showing
an excess of 576,817 thus far in tho cotton year.
The receipts of the week wore 161,095—a heavy
increase over previous weeks. The exports
exceeded those of the same week last year by
32,704 bales. The stock in Liverpool, as com
pared with that of tho samo time last year, was
nearly double, and the amount of ootton afloat
for Liverpool was more than double—being
379,000 bales against 177,000 last year. See the
ootton sfatement on tho first page.
The Courier-Journal thinks if anybody had
met Christopher Columbus in the middle of the
Atlantic, and told him that he was in tho act of
discovering a country that would ultimately fall
into the hands of such an Administration as the
present, he wonld have gono back home and
stayed there.
Mr. Attorney General Alsornian
Distinguished his official career, which is now
drawing to a close, by two remarkable concep
tions. The first of these was tho Georgia Elec
tion Bill, to enable n minority of negroes and
their whilo fuglemen to carry the State by re
peating, and restrain and punish every attempt
of the white majority to prevent it. But, in
the course of this and other Federal experi
ments to control popular suffrage by fraud and
force in the interest of minorities, it seems to
have struck Mr. Akerman that the administra
tion was ill-provided in means and appliances.
Bayonets they had in plenty, but where the
jails, the shackles and the dungeons? Hence,
tho second grand conception which he snbmits
in his annual report. Says he :
It is a question well deserving the attention
of Congress whether the Government of the
United States should not now provido its own
penitentiaries instead of being dependent upon
the States in so important a matter. When tho
number of United States prisoners was small,
and transportation was difficult and expensive,
it was convenient to am tho penitentiaries of
the States; but now, with our great increase of
population and of crime, with the modern fa
cilities of transportation, a few penitentiaries
owned by the Government in different parts of
the country, controlled and visited by officers of
the United States, would answer all the ends of
security and of punishment, with a uni
formity of superintendence and supervision,
which is desirable, bnt, under the present sys
tem,' impossible. I make the same recommend
ation on the subject of jails for the confinement
of persons held for trial, or, sentenced to brief
imprisonment in the more populous districts.
It i3, perhaps, essential to tho Radical con
struction of tho powers and duties of tho Fede
ral Government, that a lino of national bastiles
should be erected from Maino to Texas and to
California, for the confinement of State prison
ers, and bo provided with all the modem im
provements of thumb-gallows, sweat-boxes, etc.,
as well as the more venerable contrivances of
shackles and dungeons; bnt until the grim
Akerman got into office nobody seemed inclined
to bring forward the proposition. With Aker
man, however, it was not so precisely a labor
of love ns a gratification of his amiable and be
nevolent temper.
Tlie Kailway Horror.
Tho New York Sun says the Buffalo sleeping
car was fished np out of the creek last Thursday,
and the wreck of this particular car represents
almost a complete and perfect half of the
vehicle, as if it had been sawed in two longitu
dinally, and tho edges then charred with fire.
The east half of the car, as it stood upon the
track, which was the right hand side as the car
was running remains intact. Tho line of de
straction runs directly, through tho aisle that
separates the two ranges of berths. The parti
tions between tho sections on tho side that re
mains unburnt, including the richly ornamented
glass panels, and all the furniture, upholstery,
bedding, and everything else belonging to that
side, other than as damaged by wetting, are un
injured. An examination of the berths shows
that it was occupied by twenty persons, but only
eighteen bodies have been found. A pair of
shoes, belonging to a girl of fifteen, were found
with a pair of feet'in them, which were all that
remained of tho body. Two gentlemen of Mon
treal are also missing and supposed to have been
on the ill-fated traiD.
The remains of the express car was found
lying only partly on its 6ido. It was straightened
up before being drawn out, and came to land
right side up. But of its original contents, eight
or ten tons of miscellaneous freight, only a sim
ilar mass of charred and blackened rubbish re
mained, the same as on the baggage car, only
more in quantity. This, however, the officials
of the company took the precaution to guard,
suffering none of tho bystanders to come near
it Eighi or ten empty spike kegs were soon
procured, and tho whole mass of valuable rub
bish was scooped up and deposited in these for
transportation to a place of safety. The Sun
reporter was permitted to examine the stuff,
and found it to be even more rich in precious
deposits than the California gold diggings.
It was estimated that fifteen thousand people
had visited the scene of horror. -
Peace a Party Foot-Ball.
The World of the 10th, spoaking of tho Inter
national Peace Commission in a long article,
says:
This intelligence will give satisfaction and
inspire hope in both countries, and be welcomed
by all political parties in each. It encourages
the expectation that the disturbing and much
debated Alabama question is on the eve of a
peaceful and satisfactory settlement.
And in the samo article the World gives, in a
concrete form, the views expressed by this pa
per three or four days ago:
The Democratic party will offer no obstruc
tion to the success of this negotiation, nor in
dulge in any captions criticism. We aro willing
that questions between this country and foreign
countries involving tho national honor, shall be
kept out of party politics. If tho Alabama
claims are left unsettled, they are almost certain
to be an exciting element in the next Presiden
tial election; a contingency which wo deprecate
as dangerous, perhaps fatal, to the peace of the
country. The Democratic party has nothing to
fear from such an issue in the election; bnt it
dreads the responsibility of power acquired by
such appeals, and bound by each pledges and
committals. The great demonstration in this
city yesterday should enable England to seo that
we have an inflammable clement which owes her
no love, and is powerful enough to turn tho
scale in any Presidential election. That ele
ment acts with the Democratic party; and of
coarse we shall not permit the Republican to
draw it away by overbidding ns in a heated elec
tion. The fact that we have such an element will
compel the Republicans to bid high to keep their
party together; and the consequence will be that
whichever party carries the election will come
into power pledged to enforce demands which
would put the country at once on the brink of
hostilities. Unless the question is settled now,
it will not be settled by judgment, bnt be de
livered over to a conflict or passion kindled to
unquenchable ardor by the strife and emulation
of political parties. We would fain hope that
all men of influence will favor an immediate
settlement on fair and reasonable terms; that
Mr. Sumner will practise forbearance, General
Batler learn moderation, and Mr. John Quincy
Adams suppress, for the nonce, his impulse to
fly at the throat of well-dressed, well-bred Eng
lishmen. As the British Commissioners are
ooming here, let us choke down our resentments,
like hosts whom it becomes to support onr hos
pitality. Let us all be as amiable as we can un
til we see the outcome of the new negotiations.
That is certainly a very perilous state of af
fairs, by which tho reason, judgment and con
science of the country can bo so easily crashed
between the upper and nether millstones of the
two political parties, but who fails to see that
the World has stated the case fairly and can-
didly. ^
A Change of Religions Views.
The Baltimore Sun says the Rev. R. A. Hol
land, late associate editor of the Baltimore
Christian Advocate, has officially notified his
presiding elder, the Rev. Dr. Rozell, that he
has severed his connection with the Methodist
Episcopal Church South by beooming a candi
date for orders in tho Protestant Episcopal
Church. In his letter of notification, Mr. Hol
land says:
“I leave the Methodist Church with a sorrow
that shrinks from the mockery of expression.-
It is thechurch of myfathers. Init I was bom
and nourished, and received the enduring mould
of my character. From its pulpits I first heard
the Word of Life, and learned how to prove by
faith the preoiousness of Christ. While yet a
youth it gave me a place among its preachers,
and since then, during a minstry of nearly ten
years, it has honored me with promotion beyond
my deserving. All my intertwining flowers of
friendship have grown up within its borders
and beneath its genial culture. All the diversi
fied threads of- my reminiscence combine to
weave its image in the very texture of my life
To leave it is to tear the heart itself in twain;
but belter this than a union which cannot be
prolonged without dissimulation.”

“Northern Civilization.”
We hear a precious deal of cant about “North
ern civilization” and “Southern barbarism,”
these latter days. It is the common staple of
Radical stampers and scribblers in their frantic
endeavors to keep possession of the loaves and
fishes. The following from the New York Tri
bune is a scorching commentary upon the for
mer. If Southern barbarism ever illustrated
itself by any such infamy as this, wo certainly
have never heard of it. The wretches to whom
the Tribune refers are certainly not tho mission
aries to send down for our enlightenment. They
aro, doubtless, trooly loil, but their conduct
would almost make a Camancheo blush. The
railroad disaster referred to is the recent one on
the Hudson River railroad :
The Tribune says in regard to the railroad
disaster it is a remarkable fact that none of the
leading officials of tho road have personally su
perintended the recovery of the slain, and that
bodies token out have been subjected to the
grossest indignities, and personal effects recov
ered have been stolen. The bodies have been
dragged by means of a rope fastened aronnd
waists, over ice, broken tie3 and snow to the
morgue car, and tossed in like dead sheCp. La
dies’ under garments have been held up by
heartless boys and men, and ribald joke3 passed
on them. Half the village have possessed them
selves of so-called mementoes of the disaster in
-the shape of clothing, and oven whole pack
ages of Iuggago. All this has been done with
out the slightest interference of officials. Two
or three well known thieves were put out of tho
place but returned in a few hours. It is true
that there is a railroad policeman on the ground
bnt he is fishing for plunder like the rest.
Glass Guillotine—Fearful Death.
From, the Hew Orleans Commercial bulletin,
February 2.
Yesterday about noon, and while Canal street
was all bustle and life with the beauties of this
city, who had walked out to enjoy a bit of sun
shine after several nasty days, a singular acci
dent occurred in front of the store of Mr. Lau
rent Uter, the extensive dealer in looking-glass
es, pictures, etc., in the Touro buildings. Five
or six workmen were engaged in setting up a
large glass plate in the frame of the show
window on the right of the entrance to the
store, to replace a broken one.
Tho plate being of unusual diminsions, about
oight feet by ten, tho operation required con
siderable cure and no little skill. A gentleman
passing near tho place at tho time entered the
store and in a somewhat officious manner warned
tho workmen of the great dangers attending
such operations, at tho same time ho exhibited
ono of his wrists, where could bo plainly seen
an ugly scar, occasioned, he said, by an acci
dent resulting from putting np a similar plate.
He, however, offered his services to assist tho
workmen,saying that he understood tho business
thoroughly. His offers of services were doclined
several times, but he persisted in his determina
tion, and actually took hold of the glass as it
was being pushed into tho show-case edgewise.
The employees wore inside the spacious win
dow, while the young man stood outside and
grasped the lower comer of tho plate. Just at
this moment a largo piece of the upper comer
of the glass broke, falling upon the young man’s
neck and sliding down to the sidewalk. The
other workmen let go their hold, and the re
mainder of the plate -was also shattered to
pieces. The first expression of the young man
as he arose from the ground, to which he had
been prostrated, was, “Send for a doctor;” and
his Ufa’s blood was seen spurting from his neck
in large quantities. He was immediately led
into the drag store of Messrs. Frederickson &
Harte, next door, where he expired within five
minutes after the accident.
“Narrow” Gauge Railroads.
A company has been organized in Ohio with
$400,600 capital, to build a tliree-foot gauge
railroad between Fiqua and Celina, running'
through Miami, Shelby, Auglazaine, and Mer
cer counties. The right of way is to be fifteen
feet, insead of forty, tbo usual width. The
locomotives aro to weigh five tons, instead of
thirty, and to be capable of drawing from ten
to to twenty loaded freight cars, each of two
and a half tons oapacity. Each passenger car
is to hold twonty people. A road of this guage
is already in operation in Ohio, between Akron
and Massillon. An extensive system of rail-
roads of this width is also being constructed as
feeders to the trunk lines centering at Toronto,
and tho projectors of the Buffalo and Spring-
field Road are thinking of adopting the same
gauge. It is also being adopted in Russia.
Thus from domestic and foreign reports this
description of railroad appears to be increasing
in favor. It is maintained that a three foot
gauge' road is quite sufficient on main routes,
and that the cost of construction .is not more
than one-half of tho medium four feet eight and
a half inch gauge, with an equal, if not greater
carrying capacity. The Festiniog Railroad, in
Wales, is but one foot eleven inches and a half
inches wide, using wagons weighing twelve
hundred weight, which frequently carry loads of
over three and a half tons at the rate of twelve
miles ah hour. They thus carry six times their
own weight, while twice their weight is the ordi
nary capacity of wagons on broad gauges. If
the advantages claimed for this description of
gauge be well founded, its general adoption is
pretty well assured, unless the superiority in
speed, conceded to the broader gangos, as pas
senger carriers, more than counterbalances their
reported drawbacks as freighters.—Nets York

am EDWARD THORNTON TO MB. FISH.
Washington, January 26, 1871.
Sm: In compliance with an instruction re
ceived from Earl Granvillo, I have tho honor to
state that her Majesty’s government deem it of
importance to tho good relations which they aro
ever anxious should subsist and be streugtheaed
between the United States and Great Britain,
that a friendly and complete understanding
should be come to between tbo two governments
as to the extent of tho rights which belong to
the citizens of the United States and her Majes
ty’s subjects, respectively, with reference to
tho fisheries on the coast of. her Majesty’s pos
sessions in North America, and a3 to any other
questions between them which affect the rela
tions of the United States towards these posses
sions. As tho consideration of these matters
was to, however, involve investigations of a
somewhat complicated nature, and as it is very
desirable that they should be thoroughly exam
ined, I am directed by Lord Granville to propose
to the government of the United States the ap-
ment of a joint high commission, which shall
be composed of members to bo named by each
government. It shall hold its sessions at Wash
ington, and shall treat of and discuss the mode
of settling tho different questions which have
arisen ont of tho fisheries, as well as those which
affect the relations of the United States towards
her Majesty’s possessions in North America.
I am confident that this proposal will be met by
yonr government in tho same cordial spirit of
friendship which has induced her Majesty's
government to tender it, and I cannot doubt
that in that case the result will not fail to con
tribute to the maintenance of the good relations
between the two countries which, I am con
vinced, the government of tho United States, as
well as that of her Majesty, equally have at
heart. I have the honor to bo with the highest
consideration, sir, your most obedient servant,
Edward thobnton.
The Horo-ablo Hamilton Fish, etc., etc., etc.
[Mr. Fish replies January 30 th, and, after
reciting the proposition, in tho words of Sir
Edward, proceeds to say:]
I have laid your note before the President,
who instructs me to say that he shares with her
Majesty’s government the appreciation of the
importance of a friendly and complete under
standing between tho two governments with
reference to the subjects specially suggested for
the consideration of the proposed joint high
commission, and he fully recognizes the friendly
spirit which has prompted the proposal. The
President is, however, of the opinion that
without the adjustment of a class of questions
not alluded to in your note, the proposed high
commission would fail to establish the perma
nent relations, and the sincere, substantial,
lasting friendship between the two govern
ments whioh, in common with her Majesty’s
government, he desires should prevail Ho
thinks that the removal of tho differences
which arose during the rebellion in the United
States, ontf which have existed since then,
growing ont of the acts committed by the
several vessels which have given rise to tho
claims generally known as the Alabama claims,
will also be essential to the restoration of cor
dial and amicable relations between the two
governments. He desired me to say that should
her Majesty’s government accept this view of
this matter, and assent that this subject may
also be treated of by the proposed high com-
missios, and may thus be put in the way of a
final and amicable settlement, this government
will, with much pleasure, appoint high commis
sioners on the part of the United States, to
meet those who may bo appointed on behalf of
her Majesty’s government, and will spare no
efforts to secure, at the earliest practicable mo
ment, a just and amicable arrangement of all
the questions whioh now unfortunately stand in
the way of an entire and abiding friendship be
tween the two nations.
I have the honor to be, with the highest con
sideration, sir, yonr very obedient'servant,
Hamilton Fish.

SIB EDWARD THOBNTON TO MB. FISH.
"Washington, February 1,1871.
Sir—I have the honor to acknowledge the re
ceipt of yonr note of the 30th ultimo and to offer
you my sincere and cordial thanks for the friend
ly and conciliatory spirit which pervades it.
With reference to that part of it in which yon
state that the President thinks that the removal
of the differences whioh arose daring the rebel
lion in the United States, which have existed
since then, growing out of the acts committed
by the several vessels which have given rise to
the claims generally known as the “ Alabama
claims,” will also be essential to the restoration
of cordial and amicable relations between the
two governments, I have the honor to inform
yon that I have submitted to Earl Granville the
opinion thus expressed by the President of tho
United States, the friendliness of which I beg
yon to believe I fully -appreciate. -1 am now
authorized by his lordship to state that it would
give her Majesty’s Goverinent great satisfaction
if tho claims commonly known by the name of
the “Alabama claims” were submitted to the con
sideration of the same high commission by which
her Majesty’s Government havo proposed that
the questions relating to the British possessions
in North America should be discussed, provided
that all other claims, both of British subjects
and citizens of the United'States, arising out of
acts committed during the recent civil war in
this country are similarly referred to the some
commission. The expressions made use of in
the name of the President in your above-men
tioned note, with regard to the “Alabama
claims” convince mo that the government of
the United States will consider it of importance
that theso causes of dispute between the two
countries should also and at tho same time be
done away with, and that you will enable ine to
convey to my government the assent of the
President to the addition which they thus pro
pose to the dnties of the high commission, and
which cannot fail to make it more certain that
its labors will lead to the removal of all differ
ences between the two countries.
I have the honor to be, with the highest con
sideration, sir, yonr most obedient, hnmble
servant, Edward Thornton.
Tho Hon. Hamilton Fish, eto., etc., eto.
MR. FISH TO SIR EDWARD THOBNTON.
[To this Mr. Fish rejoins, February 3d, and,
reciting Sir Edward’s reply, adds.-]
I have laid yonr note before tho President,
and he has directed me to express the satisfac
tion with which he has received the intelligence
that Earl Granville has authorized you to state
that her Majesty’s government has accepted the
views of this government as to the disposition
to be made of the so-called “Alabama claims.”
He also directs me to say, with reference to the
remainder of your note, that if there be other

Proclamation from Napoleon.
London, January 12.—Napoleon has issued a
proclamation to the electors of France in which
he says, substantially, that during hostilities he
abstained from every word which might cause
party dissension, and did not protest against the
violation of his rights, when the Empire which
had been threo times acolaimed, was overthrown
and abandoned. He had hoped for a successful
defence, bnt now, when the struggle is suspend
ed and all reasonable chances of victory are gone,
it is time to call to account the usurpers, for tho
bloodshed and ruin and squandered resources
of the Nation. He says a solid peace is only
reasonable when the people are consulted re
specting the government most capable of repair
ing the disasters to the country. For -himself
hedoes not claimhis repeatedly-confirmed rights,
but till people are regularly assembled to ex
press their will, there is only one government
n which resides the National Sovereignty, capa
ble to heal wounds—to bring hope to the fire
sides—to re-open the silenced churches for
prayer, and to restore industry, concord and
peace.

A Fighting Parson.
Not very far from Lancaster, Pa., says the
Philadelphia Telegraph, is a little edifice called
the OctoroTa Methodist Episcopal Church, over
whose congregation Parson Gregg sometimes
presides. Parson Gregg is a man who fears the
Lord, bnt never stands in dread of man be he
never so mighty. The Ootorara Churoh, gener
ally known as the “ Gray Horse,” stands in a
sort of desert, and lies one-half in Pennsylva
nia and one-half in Maryland; that is, the old
Mason and Dixon’s line cats it in two, and
leaves the sacred bnilding equally divided be
tween the two States. Whenever there is a re
vival the ungodly from the Southern side of the
line come over and raise Cain among the faith
ful. They congregate about the door and issue
catoalls, and they - swear and cut np generally
like barbarians, When meeting is over they
force their attentions upon the young ladies of
the church, and on meeting the parson they al--
ways insist upon his taking a drink. This inva
riably offends the good man, the more since
they are almost always tipsy, and invariably
blasphemous.
Lately a party of them came over the line,
and disturbed the meeting. Farson Gregg
paused a moment in the delivery of his sermon,
and rolled np his sleeves, uttered himself as fol
lows:
“Young men! If there’s another disorderly
sound from among your disreputable crowd Til
cqme down from this sacred -desk, and in the
name of the Lord put a head on every mother’s
son of you. Get down on your knees, you
hounds, and pray for better manners, or else
levant.”
Saying which he proceeded with his* sermon,
a most edifying discourse.
In a moment the noise again began. An au
dible swear of the first magnitude filled the
room with'its bad odor, and caused the worship
pers to shrink within themselves with horror.
Parson Gregg came down from the pulpit in
a state of quiet rage. He took off his coat and
hung it over the chancel rail, and then went
for those wicked yonng men, only one of whom
he succeeded in overhauling within the portals
of the chnroh. Him he basted satisfactorily.
Following close upon the trail of the others, he
came up with the most outrageous heathen of
all, one Jim Fsge Bedloe, whom he tackled
without a word of grace. Parson Gregg gave
Bedloe a most clerical and oanonicol wafioping.
When he had finished pounding him with his
fists, he resoried to his heels. Jim wept home
wiser and sorer than when he came.
The Parson then returned to his pulpit and
finished his sermon. He will never be troubled
any more.
