“SAID ALECK SnPHUTB TO XOBEBT TOOMBS
The Macon Telegraph recalls the oft-repeated anecdote of R reputed
passage of repartee between Alexander Stephen* and Robert Toombs
In which the latter proposed to ewtllow the former If be would greaae
hie eare, end the former responded that If bo did, be would bare more
brains In hit stomach than be bad ever had in bis bead.
And The Macon Telegraph gravely- Informs u* upon the authority of
a Mr. W. T. Tanby, writing in The Coulter Journal, that tba remark was
not original with Mr. Stephens aad quotes from tba hlatoric romance of
"Kenilworth" to show that It waa employed by Sir Walter Beott In a
dialogue between "Wayland Emlth" and "Dicky Sludge." the dwarf.
We are astoalebed that no astute a critic as Tbe Telegraph, whose
fund of Information I* as eabauetlesa as Its quiver of barbed arrow* la
ever full, should not be able to date thla historic repartee a little fur
ther back.
The answer attributed In Georgia to Alexander Stephen* In re-
sponae to Roliert Too tuba has Its counterpart In tbe traditions of slmoat
every stale In the union. In which some ponderous atateaman of the
commonwealth has advanced the proposition to swallow tome diminu
tive public niau who ba* promptly responded In Missouri, In Tessa, In
Maaaachuseita and in California with tbe historic repartee ascribed to
the vice president of (be Confederacy. -
Perhaps sonic, tf not moat, of these gentlemen have derived an orlg-
Inal Impression from the eplaode between Wayland Bmlth and Dicky
Sludge. ,
We are ourselves Inclined to the opinion that the Incident goes
nnirh further back In history and was probably flrst employed by the
ancient Greeks.
Wendell Phillips In his lecture on tbe Lost Aria, declared that moat
of the anecdotes attributed to Irishmen In our day. bad really -come
front the ancient Greeks, and the wit which bad Immortalised Ireland,
had been caught from tbe history of Thucydides, tue cotnediea of Aris
tophanes and the chronlclea of the earlier Greek*. Tbe story of the
Irishman who carried around n brick as a sample of the bouse be had to
sell. Is distinctly traceable to the Greeks of that day, aad Abrabsm Lin
coln's famous story of tbe'qmpty publicist whose mouth be compared to
tbe bouse of a pretentious neighbor, which, when you opened tbe front
door, led you Immediately Into the back yard, were also of Greek tra
dition.
Unless we greatly mistake, this same proposition of swallowing a
smaller man with Its answer waa latarehangad between two famous war-
rior* of rparts tad A then*, upon the plain* of Tbesaady, and we would
not be at all surprised If tha exact chronicle of the famoui challenge And
defiance between David and Goliath were given to the public,
that we should And the giant Phlllitl'ne making the same obvious
suggestion to tbe champion of Israel who returned to that same obser
vation the easy and apparent reply, subatttating the word "valor" for the
word "brain*."
The wit In this Incident, while clear, Is so evident that It does not
stamp the originator, whether he came from Greece or whether he was

n response aa almost any man Of ordinary mutuality would have
to a similar proposition from any party of bulk and brute force.
Many or the witticisms which have become historic are equally obvi
ous. For Instance, In the Continental Congress when n division of senti
ment was apparent In an Important measure, some gentleman arose and
declared that. In tbe face of English vengeance, the Continental pa
triot*, upon this proposition, mutt all hang together.
“Yes," aald Ren 4 Franklin from bla seat, "Upon this proposition we
must hang together, or we wilt all hang separately."
Now this Is one of the historic bon mots of the republic, and yet
there ts scarcely a school boy tn our publics system today who. with the
provocation of such a remark, would not have made the same evident
answer.
It ls our private opinion that Robert Toombs and Alexander Stephens
are to be remembered for some things very much wiser and very much
belter than the hlstorlo repartee whose glory they must share with a
thousand competitors In their own country, and with a trooping Hit of
cltlsena and wise men In the agea that are gone.
" ADVERTISING A REVIVAL."
The Galveston Tribune sends us a" marked copy- containing * half
psge advertisement In bright letters of red end black of e service con-
ducted by a famous evsngellst and a renowned gospel singer In the City
by the 8ea.
And The Tribune editorially directing attention to the advertise
ment. calls It a new departure, both In religion and In Journalism, and
speculates as to Its reception by the general public who arc Interested
In its results.
The Tribune In the flrst place ts mistaken. Atlanta, which usually
leads In thlngH progressive, both tn business and In religion, has triei)
this experiment and has practically Indorsed It. When the business men
of a business city determine to look upon rellgjpn ns "the chief concern
of mortals here below," and to make It practical In a business way, noth
ing seems more natural than that they should use all tbe engines of pub
licity to attract the multitude of alnneri to the tabernacles where they
are to be taught. V
We tee nothing new and nothing sensational In this form of advertis
ing. There arc great evangelists presetting great truths to the people,
and thpse who are bohlnd them desire to give tbe widest currency to the
work. The newspapers have become the medium through which the |ieo-
ple are Informed.
It has not been always true that the advertising columns have been
Invoked tn the cause of religion, and gospel revivals have not always
been conducted under the practical co-operation of business men.
Particularly Is this true in Atlanta, because the press of this city Is
more generous perhaps than the newspapers of any city In the country,
and havu been accustomed to give to lavishly aud so gratuitously tho
aid of their local and editorial columns to the furtherance of good
cause*, that paid advertisements have not been found necessary to bring
publicity to a revival or to any religious cause. •
It seems, however, alrtfl’l? ■ matter of Justice ttim where the press Is
liberal and lavish In Ita generosity to religtbn, that business men who
appreciate religion's business value and Its,supreme concern, should be
wilting with the means In hand and at their disposal, to add some*
• thing to the revenues of newspapers which have, always been ready to
give without money and without price where the people were not able to
pay-
with Napoleon glory, will Wllberforee philanthropy, with Raskin art,
god with Columbus discovery.
But what In the Anal analysis le the real secret ot tha fame of the
great Confederate leader?
Why, In the face of defeat end despite his failure does the South
passionately love Lee: why doe* the North profoundly respect him, and
tba Whole world admire him? In one wwjd. what la the ultimata aouree
of hie wonderful, his world-wide, end bis iofcretslng fame? To this
question Mr. Wendllag bring* all bis great powers of analysis and wide
research. It is the central theme of hie* discourse, and around It he
build* bis oration. It la the prerogative of genius to place or old- theme
In a new light, and also to shy In a simple way what we have all fait but
have not been able to formulete In words. *•
It was this task which Mr. Wendllng undertook In hie great lectors
on "The Man of Galilee." and It la this task which be has now performed
so magnlfleently on "Robert E. Lee—the Idol of the South."
Mr. Wendllag Is himself a loyal eon of the North, but In hie lecture
on Stonewall Jackson he has laid upon the tomb of the Christian soldier
of tbe South a wreath of laurel that will never fade. Thla lecture la re
garded along with Henderson's’ two marvelous volumes as the finest trib
ute which the times have afforded to the Southern captain wboaa meth
ods and whose battles have formed the models of every war that has fol
lowed since he fought.

AT LAST A GREAT LECTURE ON LEE.
It seems that the American platform Is al last lo have a lecture on
Hubert. K. l.ee that la worthy of the man and of the people who love him.
There have been In time past many ambitious essays upon the plat
form touching the great life of the 8outh's noblest srttl greatest man.
Many of them have been niter failures. Most or them have been lack

unsatisfying. There has l>een evident In them all the lack of comprehen

and au unalyst ot consummate power. Alt hla tbentes have been

characters, ami with vast epochs ot history, human and divine. Such
themes ns "The Man of Galilee." "Raul of Tarsus," "t'naeen Realities."
