Oscar Turner, the eccentric Ken
tucky member, ran Independent in
his district, this year, against a Re
publican, and regular Democratic
nominee. He won, and had 1,100
votes to spare. In speaking of bis
canvass Turner said: “They turned
out in the district sixty of tbe best
-tumpers they bad, but I beat them
all.”
“How did you do it ?” was asked.
“How “did you meet their argn
meats.”
Turner replied: “I called them
all thieves and assassins.”
The people in Turner’s district
have a very primitive character, and
it is through his comprehension of
their simple wants that lie achieves
congressional success. In the fitst
place,*his people are opposed to the
payment ot all taxes. Kentucky has
no Sta.e debt, and so the local taxa
tion is very light. Turner earns
popularity in his district by voting
against every appropriation bill; in-

An amiable old gentleman has for

sermonB. He does not preach them,
bbt simply garners them as in a
museum, carefnlly cataloguing them
and arranging them according to
subjects. He has now more than
15^XX>. and is justly proud of having
the largest collection, not only in
this city, bnt on this continent.
About 3,000 different sermonizers
are represented on his shelves. He
still proceeds with patient industry
to add to h!s lot, securing either
such sermons as are on extraordi
nary subjects or those which are
written or delivered by peculiarly
eminent clergyman, regardless of
subject or occasion. Most of his ser
mon ic treasures are in pamphlet
form, but many are in the manu
script of the author. These are, of
coarse, tbe most valuable aa historic
relics.
