The Unfortunate Aeronaut, jlh
The remains ot Fotest McNeil, the
unfortunate aeionaut who was
drowned a. West Point Christmas
day, passed through this city for
Mobile yesterday, His mother lives
in that city and his two brothers ot his
are grocery merchants there.
A portion ot a letter written to the
young man by bis mother was louuo
on his person, iu which she said:
"1 pray God every night on my
knees that He will bring you to the
feet ot Jesus. Remember, my eon, to
always keep a card about you with

The papers ot the country. North
and South, are busying themselves
about the visit ot Mr. Randall to the
South. They are attributing ail
manner ol motives tv him, but un
selfish ones, and Watterson, of the
Oourier-Jourusi, seems so jealous ol
hie iijllueuce that he openly opposed
the snowing Or him any public atten
tion by the people ot Louisville. In
this, we will stop here to say that
Mr. Watterson tailed to reach hit
usual expanse of character. Hut,
the people of the South have
come to understand Mr. Randall am.
bis capacities and character well
enough to properly appreciate nimuo
a statesman without looking to tat
Courier-Journal fora cue by which
to estimate him. We are glad Mr.
Randall is arranging his visit.
We wish be could visit every promi
nent point iu out section, and regret
especially his inability to visit Co
lumbus. Should his trip this way in
any manner promote ms candidacy
tor the Presidency in the future, and
that candidacy should result in hie
election, we do not believe any part
ot the country would ever see a cause
of complaint. We regard Mr. Ran
dan as one of the best statesmen oi
the age. _

A DOOLY COUNTY FARM.
The Wonderful Results That Senator
Brown Achieved on a Eoo.y
County Place.
Constitution.
A Constitution representative had a
pleasant talk with (Senator Joseph E.
Brown, a few days ago, about the re
sources of Georgia. The Senator
touched upon the amount of provis
ions furnished by Southwestern
Georgia during the war to the Con
federate army, Senator Brown said
he had no doubt, if the facts could be
properly ascertained, that it would
astonish the people to know the
amount of provisions that part of the
Blate furnished to toe Confederate
Government. Re said: "As an in
stance to show now i asy it is to make
remunerative provision crops, in the
winter of 1864 I was compelled to re
move my hands from my plantation
in Cherokee county. I bought a
place m Dooly county of six hundred
acres, thirteen miles from Monte
zuma. 1 made up my mind to make
ail 1 could in the way ot provisions.
Borne time early iu the spring ot 1864
1 purchased forty or fifty hog ß --poor,
thin things—at an administrator’s
eaie. In the same spring 1 sowed
pail ot my land in oats and planted
twenty-live acres in ground peas.
Later I planted some cow peas. The
balance ot my ciupl put in provis
ions, sugar cane and corn. In the
early part oi '65, when 1 came to At
lanta, 1 had ninety head ot as fine
fatteiiinir nog>. ae 1 have eeen any
where in North Georgia—fattened on
the cow peas. I turned the hogs in
on he ground peasand it was aston
ishing how they prospered, and how
they picked up and got fat. 1 brought
a laige quantity to Atlanta in ’65 and
sold it in the spring at a fair price. I
do not think 1 ever made ae good a
provis on crop in Cherokee county,
North Georgia, w: u the a m-am utn
of labor as I made on that Dooly
county farm, and as my time was ai
moe' entireiyeng<ged >it MilUdgeville
*nd I could only give instructions by
writing what to do, I was surprised
to see the result made by my negroes
in provisions, such ae corn, bacon,
sugar, molases, pt is and everything
usually raised by farm rs.”
We merely cite this instance to let
our people understand that it is just
as easy to make go id t .con in South- <
western Georgia by using the crops I
that can be made there as it is io I«
Kentucky or Tennessee. ’ 1
DR. TALMAGE’S SERMON.
Brooklyn, December 21 —Dr, Tal
mage has just returned fiom bis
Southern tour. during which tic de
livered the opening prayer at the
New Orleans exposition. He preached
this evening in the Brooklyn Taber
nacle on the subject • illumination,”
Thu opening hymn was:
• Bow arm * louu «llon ye Mints ot the Lord,
Ualu He laid lor jour ulih Iu bin excellent
word.’*
After expounding appropriate pass
ax s of Dr. i’aimage gav->
out the text from Psalm cxix: 105:
"Thy word is a lamp to my teet and a
light totny path.”
From six o’clock last evening, said
Dr. Talmage, until six o’clock this
morning daikuess rested on our par:
ot the earth. la every tew hours
there rolls a wave of natural night
all over the nations. Witnlamps and
chandeliers and torches and lanterns
we try to drive out the nignt from
houses and churches and stores and
shops. He who invents a new kind
ot light invents his own fortune and
the fortune ot bis children. But
there is a night ofsiu and suffering
and shame which needs another kind
of illumination. Ancient philosophy
made a lamp but it was a dead failure
and the people kept crying out "Give
us a light! Give us a light!” After a
while prophet, and evangelist and
Apostle made a lamp. A coal from
Heaven struck it into a blaze and un
counted multitudes of people with an
open Bible before them, cry out. in
rapture and in love; “Thy word is a
lamp.”
W hen, some years ago, there was a
great accident in Hartley coiliety,
England, and two hundred persons
lost their lives.ihe queen telegraphed
down to the scene of disaster: “Can
we give you any help? Will you be
able to get the men out? How many
are lost? Give my sympathy to ail
rhe bereft.” What consolation it wee
to the families who stood amidst the
consternation and the terror, that the
throne ot England throbbed tn sym
pathy with their disaster. But 1 have
to tell you a more glorious truth, and
that is : From the throne of God the
king ot heaven and earth telegraphed
down through bis Bible into the dun
geons ot our sin and suffering a mes
sage ot patdon, of love, ot sympathy,
of comfort, of eternal lite. Like some
lighthouse on high promontory,
blessed by ships passing thiougb
darkneeb and dturiu.BO oa tfieheikiits
>d God’s love and grace there flutnet ,
forth a light upon the great eea of
man's wretchedueeß and ot God’s
providence, so that angels on then
way earthward and r naonaed spirits
on their way heavenward and devils
on their way hellward pass through
its fl sb crying: "Thy word is a
lamp.”
You have tourer five Bibles in your
house—perhaps ten, perhaps twenty.
They are sucn common property you
do not appreciate taem. It you nao
only one Bible and tor that you had
paid five hundred dollars, the price
that was p do iu olden time tor a copy
ot the Scriptures, then you would
more tfiorongdly appreciate it. I wa:
joe© a cotpoiteur tor a few months
in a vacation and I came into a hoc;
of destitution,! saw a woman then 85
, years ot age, and I satil to her: "May
I givo you h Bibit ?,’ “Oh,” she re
plied, "a Bible would be of no use to
me. I can’t see to read. 1 used to
‘ read, but tor twenty years 1 haven’t
been able to tt.<4 a word,” I pulled
out ot my satchel one ot the Copies ol
the Psalms of Divid and the New
Testament in great, large, round
: type, I said: “Now put on your spec
' aoies aud ee it you can’t read this.”
SBe wiped her spLCiaoles and put
' fame ou. “Oi, yes,” she said, ‘Why
‘ I oao see aitei ill. lam very thana
; till to you, Wriy. yes, I see it: ‘I love
line Lord bi cauat be hath heard my
voice and my— ’ Oh, yes I can lead
it! I can read it!” I wish that,God
> to-night would make the Bible as new
! and fresh to us as it was to her.
. 1 want to snow you that the. Bible
is a lamp—a parlor lamp, a street
, lamp, a store lamp a church lamp, a
’ sapulcherai 1 mp. In parlors all
’ flash was gas-light and gleaming
1 mitior and buzing chandelier and
‘ cutidelebra, thei may be Egyptian
3 darkness, whiis iu some plain room
which a frugal baud tins spread with
. li ispitality and letlnemear, this one
! lamp may east a glow that makes it a
‘ flr place lor heavenly coronations.
We invoke uo stia low to fall upon
’ the hilarities ot life. Vi e would not
b have every song a dirge, and evt ry
J picture a mar:ytdoni, and every step
a funeral pace. God’s iamp huug in
tne parlor would chill no joy. would
, rend no harm ny, would check no
‘ innocent lau'g'htei. On the contrary
‘ it would bring out brig ci er colors in
1 the picture; it would expose new
3 gracefulness iu the curtain, it would
’ unroll new wreaths from the carpet,
e it would strike new music- from ihe
harp, it would throw new polish into
cue manners, ■ it wou.d kindle wi'Li
light borrowed from the throne ot
God, all the refinements ot society.
r Ou that the Chiist who was born in a
barn would come to our parlor. We
need his hand to sift the parlor music
We need his taste to assort the par
lor literature. Wo need his voice to
a conduct the pa:lor conversation. We
areapt to think of religion as being a
'• rude blundering thing, not fit to put
- i<« foot upon Axm. star, or its clown
r ish hands on beautiful adornments,
or lift its voice amidst the artistic
aud refined; so, while we have Jesue
J in >be nursery when we teach our
children to pray, and Jesus in the
i dining «ali wtien we ask his
, blessing upon our food, and Jesus in
. the sitting room when we have fatni
• ly prayers, it is a simple fact that
» from ten thousand Christian homes
in this country Onrist is trom one end
. us the year to the other shut out
. of the parlor. Oh that housekeepers
understood that the grace ot God is
, the greatest acomplishment, and that
nc seat is 100 luxuriant for religion
to sit in, and no arch too grand for re

Christianity at last is to walk up the
streets of heaven with seraphim and
u changel, it is good enough to go
anywhere where you go or anywhere
I shall go. To purity the heart, to
cleanse the life, to culture the taste,
to expurgate all hypocraay'and false
hood and sham, we must haV' the
Bible in the parlor. When Cnristian
people coin: to spend an evening they
talk about the weather, and they talk
about the scandal, and they talk
about the crops, and they talk about
the markets; but they do not talk
iDout God nnd Christ and heaven.
The thing we most want in all out
parlors is the iamp of the Bible.
Bi ill further, the Bible is the street
lamp. When night comes down on
the city crime goes forth to its worst
achievements. Not only to show
honest citizens where to walk but to
hinder the burglar and assassin and
highway-man an! pickpocket we
must have artificial lights ail over
the city. I remember what conster
nation there was In Philadelphia
when, one night, the gas works were
out of order, and the whole city sar
in darkness. Between 11 o’clock i t
night and 3 o’clock in the morning,
in the dark unlighted places of the
t >■«, crime has i's holiday. If the
lainn-iigbter ceased his work for one
week, the town would riot. But there
is a darkness beyond all power of gas
light; What is the use of polios sta

ind to purify the executive, and to
hang over legal enactment the fearo
Go<i and an enligb ened public opin
ion. When in city crime runs
rampant and virtue is at a disooun’,
ib'l j tils are full and churches are
empty, and the nights are hideous
with the bowl and the whoops of
drunkards, and the saloons boil over
with scum and.public officials think
more of a bribe than they do of their
own conscience and when great tides
of wickedness set down the streets—
the first want of such a city ae t hat is
the street lamp of the Bible. Did you
ever stand In u church tower and look
down upon a city at night? Ir is over
whelming. But you feel that beneath
ad that brilliancy ot gaslight there is
a surging sea of want, suffering and
wo-'. History says that Dionysius
h,d a great cave built tor his prison
ers. He was a ciuel man, and be used
t > go to the top of the cave, and put
bis ear to the opening and listen, and
the groans and the sighings of the
prisoners came up into his ears and
made music tor him. God stands at
the head ot our world, but for a dif
ferent purpose and with a different
heart. He puts bis ear to the dun
geon, and every sigh comes up, stir
ring his sympathies, and every grean
wounding bis heart,and be listen and
listen ail night long. There ia but
one lamp that can throw light into
the dungeon where the prisoner
groans, into the hovel where the
beggar pines, into the cellar where
•he drunkard wallows, into the alley
where the libertine putrifies, into the
mad house where the maniac raves.
Travelers in Africa tell us that they
have seen serpents—a vast number oi
th< m—coiled together and piled up
,u udrrid fold above horrid fold; and
h n they would hear hundreds ot
them hissing at once, and tne sight
ind the sound were appalling andun
t earable. But if you should take the
w ickedest of our best cities and bring
it all tog ther in one place and pile
n up, fold above fold, it would be a
hissing horror and ghastliness that
io human eye could look at without
being blasted, and no human ear
eeiiid hear without being stunned
Now bow will all these scenes ot
iniquity in iur cities be overcome?
ihey will not be overcome until the
church and the school and a Christiar
printing press kindle all aruuuu
bout, us God’s street lamp of the
Bible. Beno tne Bible down that filthj
alley it you would have it cleaned.
Send it against those decanters,it you
would have them smashed. Bendit
against those chains if you would
have them broken. Send it through
all the ignorance of the city if you
would have it illumined .ih by a flash
irum heaven’s uorulng. The Bible
can do it; will do it. Gather all the
ignorance and the wickedness and
the vice of our cities in one great pile

O Oiristian! Go evoywhere and kin
lie up these great street lamps o

Psalmist so long ago declared: “Thy
word is a lamp.”
Still further the Bible is the best
store lamp. Blessed is the merohani
who under its glow reads his ledge:
and transacts his business and pock
ets bis gains and suffers his losses. li
may be well to have a fine sky light,
o have a magnificent glass show
window, by night to have bronzt
brackets spouting lire in a very pal>
ace ol merchandise; but if you have
not this eternal lamp you had bettei
quit keeplug store. What is the rea
son so many who started in merchaa
dise with good principles and fail
prospects and honorable intentions
have become gamblers and defraud
era and knaves and desperadoes and
mns and thieves? They did not have
the right kind oi a store lamp. Why
is it in our days merchandise is smit
ten with uncertainty, and three
tourths of the business ot our great
cnies is only one huge species of
gambling and society is upturned bj
false assignments and repudiation!
and imperiled trust, funds and fraud
ulent certificates ot stock and wild
schemes in railroads without any
rack and banks without any capital,
and cities without any houses, nut!
joint stock companies without any
conscience? And why are ten thou
sand of our business men ridden with
i nightmaie enough to crush Her
cules and Prometheus? It is the want
t a right kind of store lamp. What
. uiued the merchant princes of Tyre,
hat great city of fairs and bazaart
and palaces ;her vessels of trade witt
cedar masts and embroidered sails
•ad ivory benches, driven by fierce
blasts on Northern waters and then
dropping down on glassy Indian seat
bringing winefrom Helbon and charot
cloths from Dedati and. gold and
spices from Rabmah and emerald and
agate from Syra, her waters foaming
with innumerable keels, her store
rouses bursting with the treasures of
all nations—that queen of cities on a
nrone of ivory and ebony, under s
crown of gold and pearl and diamond
and carbuncle and chrysophrasel
The want of a right kind of store
lamp. If the principles of religion
had ruled in her trade do you suppose
that dry rot would have sunk the
snips and that vermin would have
eaten up her robes and that God’s
mills would have ground up that
agate, and that fishermen would dry
their nets on rocks which once were
aquake with the roar and treed ot a
great metroplis? Oh, what thrones
have fallen, what monuments have
crumbled, what fleets have sunk,
wuat statues have been defaced, what
barbarisms have been created, what
civilization retarded, what nations
damned, all for the want ol' the right
kind of a store lamp!
Still further the Bible is the best
church lamp. I care not bow many
chandeliers there may be in aohurch,
how many brilliant lights there may
be,the Wc rd of God isfthe best church
lamp. Oh, is there anything muie
beautiful than au audience gathered
on the Sabbath for Christian wor
ship? There may be no dazzle of
theatric assemblage, there may be
no glitter of foot lights, there may be
no allegoric images blossoming from
foot to dome; but there is s me
t Ling in the place and in the
occasion that makes it super
natural, In the light of this
lamp I see your faces kindle with a
great jov. Glorious church lamp,

shell to get us the victory, tor the
mountains are full of horses and
cheriots ot fire. Hallelujah! for the
kingdoms of this world are become
the kingdoms of our Lord Jesus
Christ.
Still further, the Bible fs a sepul
chral lamp. You know that the an
cient Egyptans used to keep lights
burning in the toom Os of their dead.
These lights were kept up tor scores,
even hundreds of years. Friends
would come from generation to gen
eration and put oil In -be lamps, and
it. was considered a disaster if these
lamps went out. You and I will some
day go down into the house of the
dead. Some have looked upon it as
an unknown land and when they
have thought of it their knees have
knocked together and their hearts
fainted. There were whole genera
tions of men that had no comfoit
about death, no view of the eternal
wo:id; and whenever they brought
their trieuds and put them away Into
the dust they said without any alle
viation: “This is horrid! this is
horrid!" and it was. The grave is the
deepest, ghastliest pit that a man
ever looks into, unless the lamp ot
God’s Word flashes into it. For whole
ages men thought that the sepulchre
was a den where a great monster
gorged himself on human carcasses.
"I will put an end to that,” said
Jesus of Nazareth. *T will with mine
own voice go down and make dark
ness flee;” and as he stepped out
from the gate of Heaven all the
graveyards of the earth cried:
“Come! come!” and he came
down bringing a great many beauti
ful lights; and above this babe’s i
grave he hung a light, and over this
mother’s tomb ne hung a light, and
over this wife’s grave he hung a
light. Then he uttered bis voice and
it ran along under the ground from
city to city, and along under the sea
trem comment to continent, until
mansoleum and sarcophagus and
sepulcher throbbed with the joy: “1
am the resurrection and the lite; he
■hat believetb in Me, though he were
dead, yet shall he live.” And now 11
Greenwood, and Laurel Hill, and
Mount Auburn could break their
beautiful silence and should speak,
their lips ot bronze and granite would
break forth in the strains of my text;
"Thy word is a lamp.”
O, ye bruised souls! O, ye who
• have be-n cutting yourselves among
. the toombs 1 O, ye who have been
sowing seed for the resurrection day !
, O, ye ot the broken hearts. I come
■jUt tO'.nigbt and put in your hand
this glorious gospel limp. It win
throw a glow of consolaiion ovet
your bereft spirit. “Weeping may
endure tor a night, but joy cometh ib
the morning,” ‘‘They that sow in
tears shall reap in joy.”
. Rabbi Mier went off from home to
' be gone a few days and left two beau-
tiful beys. While he was gone the
two lads died. Rabbi Mier returned,
not knowing anything had happened.
His Christian wife knew he would be
overcome with grief and she met him
at the door and said to him: "My
husband, I once hud two
beautiful jewels loaned to mo.
I had them for a little
while. And, do you know,
while you were gone, the owner came
tor them. Ougnt I to have given
them?” “Ot course,” said Rabbi
Mier, “you ought to have given them
up; you say they were only loaned.”
Then she called her husband to the
side room and removed the cloth that
covered the dead children. After
Rabbi Mier had tor a few moments
given way to his gtisf, he rose up and
said: “Now I kuow wbat you meant
by the borrowed jewels. ‘The Lord
gave and the Lord hath taken away.
Blessed be the name of theLoid.’”
And so Rabbi Mier was comiorted.
Let this sepulchral light gild all
the graves or your dead! May tbit
lamp of the text be set in all youi
parlors, in all your streets, in all yout
stores, in all your ohutches, in all
your sepulchres! Amen!
