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 Blr "Walter Scott, as a man necessarily of majestic, mind. It la just such R-t« aalit that JO per rent-of_the_ work on the farm In the south Is done by negroes, tf John Temple Graves succeeds In his colonisation scheme, who will do this work? Wilt John Temple help?—Commerce News. The value of n conclusion depends upon Ita premises, and our neighbor of Commerce must have derived his statistics from an almanac of 1873 —or earlier. As>a matter of fact. It Is doubtful If 20 per cent of the work now done on the Southern farms la done by negroes. Congress' gain was Philadelphia's loss In the election of Congressman Reytmrn to the mayoralty. A Michigan legislator haa Introduc ed a bill to prevent the sale of dime novel*, thereby toeing for all ttmo the respect ot the messenger boys.

Wonder tf the Atlanta court had au interpreter'when that si r,'cl preach,u read the lllble In Ita presence?— Wfl- mlngton tN, C.t-Dlapatch. Indeed, yes. every rntirt In Atlanta hus an unex Celled Interpreter—the Judge himself. 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.

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 ing In majesty and comprehension, and all o' them, so far, have lifen unsatisfying. There has l>een evident In them all the lack of comprehen sion. of Inspiration and of the Infinite care which so great a theme de mands. Mr. George R. Wendllng Is perhaps th" foremoat figure u|sm the American lecture platform. With only l)r. Uunaaultis. of Chicago, as Ills rival, he Is generally recognlxed *» the flrst of Amerlcstr lecturers. Mr. Wendllag ts n greet thinker, s prodigious student, a tireless worker and au unalyst ot consummate power. Alt hla tbentes have been great themes. Alt his life he haa dealt with great men. with majestic characters, ami with vast epochs ot history, human and divine. Such themes ns "The Man of Galilee." "Raul of Tarsus," "t'naeen Realities."

Yet If attention ts not called It. will tho expertnrator, oblivious as he now Is, ever com* to n consul- ntlmi of the right* of others? A fetv days ago a well-dressed 'wom an. to all appearances a lady, was a passenger tn a street car In this city, and .differing from n severe cold or something worse, pattlslly shUded her mouth with her hand and expectorated on the floor. Possibly the conductor did not see It, hut the fellow- passen gers did. tin another car—this about the tam" time— n man as HI, ti cold In the head-- ilic nose, more particularly—relieved the member In the aisle, plainly In view of nil |«saengrre, n number of whom wore women who must make their exit by way of Hint same aisle. It the con ductor observed he certainly made no sign, for the man later on left the car unmolested by reprimand or sven hav ing hie attention colled to what he had done. <>n this same car, which was over heated for so mild a day, a lady suffer ing front lung trouble requested the conductor to open the ventilator*.
