The Macon Nows brings us tho Btory of a divine of the Church of England, the vicar of St. Chrysostom's, Brad ford, who rocently decided to take an active part In politics by denouncing the new Education Bill from I ho pul pit. Ho resolved, moroovor, to make his intentions known, and to this end he cast about for some striking means of advertisement—some violent phrase or strong term bound to attract atten tion. Merely to announce "a series of sermons on the Education Bill’ 1 seemed to him too mild and Insipid. He thougkt of Inserting a mark of In terrogation after “education," but tho device was a little hackneyed, and not sufficiently startling In effect. What he wanted was some good, lusty, swinging word, that would make the reader open Ills eyes. He thought of damn. He thought of It lovingly. Damn was a desirable word—It had just the right force—It was sure to strike the eye. But was It permissible? he asked himself; was It not a little profane? He reasoned with himself, and the more he reasoned the bettor It seemed to his secular under standing, and tho less profane It sounded to his sacred understanding. Accordingly, ho Inserted a card In the papers announcing a series of sermons on; THE DAMNABLE EDUCATION (?) BILL. A few days latfer the Yorkshire Dally Obesrver published an apology from the same hand. The church people, it aeemB, had been mightily offended, and the Vicar approached them with a con trite heart—but hot without a plea in extenuation. Hear his argument: "The word I used Is, I grant, one of the most expressive of abhorrence In the English language. That was how It appeared to me when -I first thought of It. By looking more ■ closely Into the word It seemed less,and less pro fane, until It appeared to have no oth er than Its etymological meaning of 'hateful' or 'pernicious.' Consulting the human side of my disposition, t have come to the conclusion that there Is nothing within the range of my own secular knowledge which says I am not justified In using It, and thnt, un der tho circumstances, those who do not Bee eye to eye with me are falling The May frost lins really nipped the I young cotton, making tho leaves look like opossum ears, over.n good portion of the cotton belt. The West Point News remarks thnt "The ‘Divine Call’ seems to have re ceived a jolt In tho short ribs when tin? executive committee met In At lanta." ' Richmond Pearson Hobson has lived d'pwn the oscillatory Indiscretions of f or" fo iiow7nK ; the d"evices"nad“deslres Nevertheless, he apologizes for hav ing made use of an expression "un seemly, unsuitable, unjustifiable and Irreverent," but he Is careful to Inform the objectors that It is only the "In spired Word" thnt tells him so and that the secular part of him Is unite at ease. Thus; "It Is the Btblo which tells me where l nm wrong, and why I should not hnvo used tho word. The B|ble forbids my wish to ploase myself In this mat ter. for even Christ plensed not Him self.' The Prayer-book condemns mo hlB-yonth, got married and been elect- 0 f my own heart.'

Mr. Latie, formerly city attorney of San Fran- Cisco, who Is In New York, notes the I Did anyone ever see a finer piece of subtle reasoninp than Is hero put up I by the English churchman? But, after all. had the Vicar really fact that no ono has done justice to committed any offense for which he the part the groat American rocking- should have been called upon to apol- cliair played in the rescue of house- dglze, even to the church? Tho prenclv hold effects. "Rocking chairs." he era use the word "damn" or "damned" aays, “were in grent demand as drays In the pulpit without giving offeuso to for household goods. Nearly every, tho most refined. Indeed, the word Is family dragged one or more after them often used in the Bible, and as an ad- fa the flight to the western hills." Let Jective It has been doing business In it also be observed that the American both religious and secular circles ever is resourceful. | since the English language has boen - | spoken.

They had; catjjer have their Cheeks burn and! dishonor their God than displease so ciety." not see wherein It Is any more to be avoided than any other word which may come handy In one’s vocabulary. There are fools and rascals, for In. stance, whose standing and rating In their respective classes In the human family cannot be described or fixed by any other word so well as with the good old word "damned.’’ ROUTING FREIGHT. We note that the Georgia Peach Growers' Association, which was In session In .Macon yesterday, resolved that, owing to the arbitrary methods adopted by the Pennsylvania railroad In raising rates, and In Increasing weights, to ship all peaches for New York and New England points via the Baltimore & Ohio railroad. The peach growers are clearly with in their rights In selecting the line or lineB over which they will ship their product, but If the railroads treat them lllte they do other shippers they will pay very little, If any, attention to them In the routing of their ship ments. It would seem by all rules and prin clples by which business affairs are regulated that a shipper ought to con- trol or direct the route over which his shipment shall go, he being the patron and paying the freight, but the rail roads, as a general thing, route ship ments to suit themselves and accord ing to such understandings as con necting lines may have between them selves. The Herald has recently' had some experience In the routing of freight, and we have learned thnt shipping di rections and hills of lading are utterly Ignored by the railroads. Frequently shipments are diverted In traqslt from the route designated by the shipper and stipulated In the bill of lading is sued at the shipping point, and delays are Incurred which are sometimes very annoying. And when freight has thus been diverted froiti the route which the shipper Intended and directed'it Should take,'It is difficult to trace It after delay has developed. Something should be done to guaran tee to shippers the right to have their shipments take the routes selected and designated for them and to break np the pooling arrangements which the railroads have for parceling out shipments from given points. 1808—Charles IV. abdicated In favor of Napoleon. 1812—Spencer Percivtil, English min ister, assassinated. 1830—First issue of Dubuque (Iowa) Herald. 1849—Mme.
