effort of the doctor's would doubtless
prove interesting to many of your
readers, bnt we haven’t time or space
to synopsize. Suffice it to say that it
from the eyes we love.”;
Inveighing against living for the ac
quirement of mere money, and the
honors of public life,-the orator said:

bnt a clerk in this city. With exqui
site taste and appropriateness he re
lated the beautiful incident of bis first
speech in Athens, at the conclusion of
which Judge Lumpkin ascended the
stand and told him that he must study
law. He then announced his themA

which was treated with a magnificence
' eloquence and splendor of imag
ery and depth of logic never surpass
ed in the annals of Franklin college.
Indeed, it is doubtful if any man in
Georgia could equal it. Round on
round of applause greeted the great
orator, and when he pronounced the
eulogy upon Judge Lumpkin and the
Cobbs the effect was in the highest
degree thrilling. Tour reporter has
never seen an audience so completely
under the sway of any speaker.
Mr. Stephens ‘sat upon the
and was the first to congratulate t&d
orator. Mr. Stephens speaks to-mor

the public some idea of the brilliancy
and beauty of today’s speech, the
finest, say competent critics, ever spo

Judge Lumpkin was, in all his af

from Heaven, and all that grace has

witty roses, bat the solidity of the
modniain waslound beneath. In his
power of oratory he had few equals,
lor he lifted himself N> & throne of
light and grandeur from which he
scattered words sweeter than the Ara
bian Myreh. He ascended to his sab-
ject by a few brilliant sentences and
then flooded the whole with his pa
thos and eloquence.. My memory to
day fills with the light his first words
flashed over my pathway of fife,
I had, at the instance of a too kind
partiality, been selected to deliver an
address in the city, which wss my
first effort on this continent, and as I
wearily drew to its close, he came
upon ttye stand to tender me his con-
gratulations, and with his counsel
eased me to the study of the law.
After I bad left his office and be*>
came an active, if not a successful,

Other names rise to boy lrpe, I re
call the genial smile of General Tom
Cobb. What sagacity of thought;
what logic ot expression; what anal
ysis of judgment; what power of rea
soning ; what solidity of learning;
what quickness of perception; what
resource of genius marked this great
lawyer 1 And his brother, Howell
Cobb, one of the grandest men, take
him all in all, I ever knew. The dig
nity of intellect was enthroned upon
his brow. His mind grasped all
themes and adorned all subjects; he
poured a wealth of wisdom over every
topic, for his arguments were aa dear
aa a‘sunbeam and as solid as a dia
mond. The state lost more in his
death than in the loss of slavery. Ob,

its glittering wings, the immortalities
of taoee patriot statesmen. Bnt they
hove n inched the gdden sunaefa be

“thunders find no echo.’’
After dwelling upon the resources
of the fetate of Georgia, he deplored
the policy winch led young it

to “settle down at home with

He said: “The light that fella from

.and clammy, and remains he scattered
by the hands oi ghouls.”
After dwelling upon what consti
tutes life’s real enjoyment, he said:
“We forget that the saddest hearts

are found tearful among the most
costly tapestries, that the loveliest of
earth are weeping out their lives like
the nun. of the violet dropping in
tears its perfume on the ground.
, Ou the heait-burnings and envies
of public life he s?id:
" “What a sorrowful lesson of the
instability of liumaD grandeur and
ambition may befound at the feet of
the weeping empress at Chiselhnrst.
Just as the star of the prince imperial
was rising to the zenith like a flash
from Heaven it fells to the ground.
Just as he was gathering the hopes of
empire the assegai of the savage hurls
him to the 'dust: Born on the steps
of a throne, afnid the blazing of bdn-
fin s and congratulations of kings, Ibe
fell in the jungles of an African wil
derness, without a friend to close his
eyes. Born to rule over thirty mill
ions ot people, he was deserted by all
and went into the chill of death with
out the pressure of a friendly hand.
Although royalty carried flowers to
deck his bier, and princes were his
rs—and laurelled marshals
by his coffin, and cabinet minis
ters bowed their heads, and his emor-
ess mother dung over him in tin ago
ny of grief—alas 1 the glory of his life
had passed, and out of the midst of
sorrowing friends, his spirit floated
Iway on angels’ wings leaving nothing
to earth but a crimson memory.’’
The orator paid the following glow
ing tribute to Georgia:
“Come, spirit of our empire state;
come from your rivers that seek the
sea—from the waves that wash your
shores and run up to kiss your sands.
Coma from the air that floats over
mountains tops. Come from
the ?£ Iakes where the pearls lie bid,
and cover where the gems are sleep
ing;’’ Come, spirit of a glorious an
cestry, from beyond the cedars and
the stars. Come from the history
that wraps yon in its robes of light,
and let me invoke the memories that
hang around yon like the mantle of
Elijah, and wifi he the ascension robes
of your new destiny. Touch the
chords in these young hearts, these
proud representatives of your future
feme that they may rise in the majesty
of their love and cla=p you with a
stronger and holier faith, and raise

warm to the fires of an intenser love
and brighten with the fight a more
resplendent glory. Let them swear
around the altar to be still pronder
and still pronder that they are Geor
gians.

Sain ting the Bride.
Detroit Free Press.
There was a marriage at the upper
end of the Detroit, Lqnsing «fc North-
era Railroad the other day. A great
big chap, almost able to throw a car
load of lumber off the track, fell in
love with a widow who was cooking
for the hands in a saw-mill, and after
a week’s acquaintance they were mar
ried. The boys around the mill lent
William three calico shirts, a dress
coat and a pair of white pants, and
chipped in a purse of about twenty
dollars, and the conple started for
Detroit, on a bridal tour with an hour
after being married.
- ‘(This ’ere lady,’’ explained Will
iam as the conductor came along for
tickets, “are my bride. Just spliced
fifty-six minutes ago. Cost two dol«
lars, bnt durmthe cost. She’s a lily
of the valley, Mary is, and I’m, the
right bower in a new pack of keerds.
Conductor sa-luie the bride!”
The conductor hesitated. The wid
ow had freckles and wrinkles and a
tnrnsnp nose, and kissing the bride
was no gratiffcaricn, . j
“Conductor, sa-lute the bride or
look out' for tornadoes l* continued
William as he rose up and shed his
odat"’’
f The conductor sainted. It was the
best thing he could do just then.
“I never did try to put on style he-
fore,* muttered William, “but Fm'
bound to see this thing through if I
have to fight ill Michigan. These
’ere passengers has got to come np to
the chalk, they has?* ’ .
11 The car was foil. -William walked 1
down the aisle, waved his hand to
command attention and roid:
“jtyrejast been, piarried, and over
thar* sou. the bride. Anybody who
Wants to sa-lute the bride can do 1 scy
now. 1 Anybody who don’t want to,
will have cause to.ithink ttyat a tree
fell on him!”
One by one the men walked up and
kissed the widow until only one was
left. He was— asleep; William
reached over and lifted him into sits

The condemnation of the Jews and

It Is safe to say that no reliance
can be placed on any of the descrip
tions of Christ’s personal appearance
that have come down to us. The
declaration oi Irenasus is based on the
remotest heresay testimony, and there
is not a syllable from any one who
saw him, or even from one who had
conversed with one who had seen
him. The gospels give us not the
slightest hint, the apostles give us no
description of him, and the writings of
the apostic fathers are silent on the
subject. As soon as a hundred years
after his death, so folly had all tradi
tion of his appearance died out, that
u controversy arose as to whether he
was fair or ogly—some taking the one
view and some the other. Justin
Martyr, Tertullian an£ Cyril took the
ground that he was practically ngly
—in feet, some declared Him the ng-i
liestot men—giving a literal inter
pretation to the passage which de
clares that he had no “form of come
liness” and no “beauty that we should
desire Him.” Ambrose, Jerome, and
others took the opposite view and de
clared him to have bear the most
beautiful of mankind. ‘Hie feet that
the early fathers take exactly oppo
site sides of the question seems to
prove conclusively that there was no
correct knowlege and no authentic
tradition even m their times. The
letter of Lentnlus to the Roman Sen
ate, giving quite a minute description
of His person, is commonly regarded
as spurious, fem , ; ■'■*£' ;
