The following is one of the addresses delivered before Saturday's association pl Berne: Home KcsuUk In Public Sentiment. AN AtinuKss in J. F. Snow . Among civilized people, all nets public or private are Influenced, ton greater or less degree, by the dominant tendencies of the individuals: by. the requirements of tlie community that environs him or her and. by the general trend of society that comprise the state of which lie is a part. The trite old saying. “While in Rome a Korean has some exceptions, but in general is an indication as to Vie line’ of thought followed by the individual. What may be a necessarx condition in India, or in Egypt, cannot exist at all In Indiana or, the United States. Tne peo- • pie of these countries are influenced by entirely different lines of thought, and consequently, their lines of action are dissimilar. Should the customs of Egypt be introduced in this locality and in no other in this Country, this section would be famous, if not notorous for its adherents to usages in nonconformity to American customs and laws. The Egyptian women perhaps would ft el disgraced shonid a man meet her with unmasked face; while the yankee girl is delighted with the privelige of exhibiting her smiling countenance on each and ail occasions suitable to tier convenience. The native of sensullty worships Buddha. places his dead upon the tower as food for the vultures and buzzards, andostracies or burns the widow of his deceased brother, and in his soul believes he is dealing jusk in the sight of man and God. His people sanction him, his government approves his acts and his conscience is clear. Should an American fbllow such traditional lines, in this country, as are traced out by the people of that, he would not- only be met with ridicule but would be tried by the court of Public Sentiment and summary judgment ' would be speedily announced. He would place upon himself the ban of ■ society. If persistent, and too flagrant in the advocacy of his particular themes, the intefearance of State or National authority would be invoked to compel hint to conform to the requirements demanded bx public sentiment. Since public opinon of a nation or community has much ft) do, in establishing in the minds of its adherents, matters pertaining to equality of rights. justice, and uni- , versal customs, it is the basis upon whtch ‘ all administration 'of government rests. The Spartan l>oy was instructed, F»y pub- **- lie sentiment, that there was no disgrace ‘attached to the thief unless he should be caught in the act of stealing: in such case he must l»e flogged. The flogging was a disgrace: for it was an evidence that there ■ n was a lack of that cunning which the successful thief was expected to possess. There is such a thing as a geueral opinion in the school room, in the church, in each line or branch of corporate bodies. This | opinion cannot be called public opinion, because it is prescribed in limits to a par- . ■ ticular organization or corporate body. A . teacher can hardly maintain a demand-that all his pupils oppose. Therefore it is of utmost importance that he be guarded in his demands and'that he ; properly influence the general opinion be- ' fore the demands are made. • The minister formulates ideas for his members, yet should he present such doctrines as all are equally opposed to, his influence iu that locality is greatly diminished. ■ ■. ■ . The ideas and issues between political fe parties are largely moulded by the leaders: but, it js • public sentiment that decides which shall prevail. ;t- * The record of past ages is but a record of growth, a record of the human face is a • continued record of contention, bloodshed and war. Fro'm the granite boulder iu the ",... - hands of Cain, to the gatfling gun of the present-day. The’id6a of development has I gone steadily on'. .Man lias not only' con- ' tended for poweiy but has by slow degrees advanced from the untutored savage to the intelligent being we see him to-day, sur- >. rounded by an untold number of inventions “ l hat lessen his labor and add to his com fort. I Would he go back to the dpughty train of Egypt or Palestine, and in exchange take Si,.-- it in preference to the Pulman Palace ear b . that rolls from the Atlantic to the Pacitic, and from the lakes to the gulf? However. < we are informed that some very worthy K personages of those countries, in their time K were donkey riders. Were they in this eodti- : try would not they avail I hemselves of its ? advantages of travel? Efe With the dawn of the newrepublic, anew- < . and important feature was introduced—that L of individual right. The individual as a p .factor of state grew in prominence until Bk ..Public sentiment declared all men to be jT. created equal: that they by nature are enp". flowed with certain unalienable rights among which are life, liberty and pursuits » « of happiness. The older natiofis, bi their fe. displeasure, ascertained that those oh this K ■ • side, of the water were.'able to maintain that -individuality on bqfh land and sea: that the k freeman was no longer a machine of monarchy, but wn~ stripped of that restraint which makes the serf a bearer of bprdans I'ather than a pleasure of campaign. That, same individuality has made this a |i' cpuntry of hustlers: each striving to pcrgjfc formsome useful and meritorious .act for gbr. sfllf or nation, or both. ‘ Humanity has many traits in common. |jYetitmustbe admitted, that by nature's Eb hand-'these traits are not equally paftyted I"- alike upon all. There are natural fejlßertines as well as soihe natural saints: Rwcrekre some philantropists and some propßjHfttctes of time, of character and of money, BMpNic sentiment- moulds, but does not iqake anew their .inherent dispositions. : : However, the public sentiment of one genL'rotation has something to do with inherited . ideas of subsequent generations, I It has often been said that money is the 1-root of all evil. That statement can hardly 1 be proven to be a fact: man could exist if ? coin and currency were obliterated from Ethe-face ot the earth. is a representative of value, but H'hb.ihore so than many other articles held as k man's possessions. The value of the dolWa£r ~ jjepends upon- the abundance and

- amount of man’s convenience aid necessities. The pedestrian on the bunting sandfl *>f Arabia might lie willing to exchanges twenty dollar gold piece torn drink of clear cool water to quench his thirst. The Inca of Pern, It Is said, gave near five million dollars for his liberty. A fair estimate of the value of a dollar is the price Mnn individual's living—or. in other words, the expense of food, shelter, clothing, etc., for a given time as a day or week. . < ' In general, the love of money, for the effect it will p’roduci?. has been a great source of evil. What of covetoousness as a -producer of the untold miseries and sorrows of mankind? Would it not seem better that eoveteousness Is the root of most evil? ' There are millions of things that the human mind may covet. Il sometimes happens that money will buy wb«t is coveted: in such crises the money flies with lavish hand. The American people, surrounded as they are by so many avenues of industry, are a money getting people: yet a very small portion of this wealth is hoarded or passed on to the next generation. Much of it Is used In keeping up that excitement upon which so many of the leadefs of style and fashion mentally feed. •Public sentiment acys that this is right: and that one might as wqll be in the tomb as to be out of the whirl and swim of society. While one woflld covet gold, anotherlike Gould or Vanderbilt might covet railroads, or like Bonner, covet fast horses. Each individual, as said Napoleon, is led by his guiding star, or the predominating faculty or propensity of mind. John L. Sullivan would doubtless give all the railroad lines, did he but possess them, could he by so doing continue to wear the champion slugger's belt- Dr. Tanner, the forty-day faster, wished to be known as the champion faster of the present century. Doubtless fame in these directions is worth more to them than the millions of the Rothchiids. However, it would take a long stretch of sentiment for the public to stand on equal grounds with Dr. Tanner. Perhaps military geniuses, more than any others, have caused their adherents to suffer most privation and hardship. We meed but mention the'eoveteous Alexander, who scattered fire and sword on every side, and wept because his career of rapine and murder was soon the cease. How strange it- seems, that one who could wield public sentiment to support his schemes of conquest would himself permit the tiny wine-cup to cause his final overthrow# and ruin. Napoleon, the archangel of war, the most brilliant military genius of all time, waged war after war, to feed fuel to the flame of his own unrestrained ambition. Not eoveteous of money, but power that he could .win fame and reign sole conqueror of Europe. When lie declared that in heaven there is but one God and upon earth? there sjiall be but one ruler, his star was soon to set. never more to lead to battle that illustrious warrior. Public sentiment was hardly ready for the suggested change and the allied powers encompassed the ruler that no treaty would bind nor friendship could hold. Public sentiment is more powerful than any individual. Its dictates are law. , While public sentiment may' be thanged from one generation to the next-: and may be very different in different cauntries, it I makes of the written law a dead letter sinless there isTtriet conformity of both. In the conquests of Mexico and Peru the Spaniards murdered for gold. This unwonted slaughter of an unoffending people was known as civilization of the savages, and the spreading-Of Christianity in the New World. - Public sentiment sanctioned this class of work and the civilizing process continued until nearly the entire population of these conntrids were enslaved or murdered. It was the coveteousness of wealth that brought the to the American shores. Sorry the dav that this was done. As judgment follows crime, even to the fourth generation, so does the present generation suffer for past transgressions. The sectional sentiment endeavpre'd to predominate and fix itself as public sentiment. Tl}is brought an appeal to arms which forever settled the matter of public opinion in regard to the slavery question. What shall be done with the negro is yet an unsolved problem . Local issues resolve themselves into national issues; then public sentimentnioulds them into form. In a great country like the United States, which is so varied in climate, soil and productions this will probably always lie the case. As time and advantages farther enlighten..her people extremes i nay be less expected. Public SentTlrient is drifting toword the greatest good to the whole people rather than the greatest benefits to the favored few. ' The good done by past generations makes the present what it is to-day. Steadily the world is getting better. Where anarchy and oppression <mee reigned supreme reason and justice now prevails. The advancement that is now in progress will make the future as far ahead of the present, as we to-day are in advance to those who lived as Amercan citizens a century ago. The spirit of individual thought is not limited to the American continent alone. The inventive genius and free and liberal-thought that made this nation what it now is helped to form the world's opinion of us as a people. When we are reminded that American plows turn the soil.of Japan, Australia and Soutlf Africa: that the harvests, in India and Russia are gathererfby American reapers anp binders, that American- steamboats ply upon the Danube-and Rhine: and. that 'the great Parrs and London papers are" •printed upon presses invented by American' genius we are led to believe that the Amefican rorohitionizers Os American thought and labor are penetrating- the depths of other lands. “ With these, and many other evidences, we are led to Compare the effects of liberal thought with those that bear unmistakable marks of restraint and suppression. Public sentiment is drifting toward a general sufferage based upon an educational qualifications. What developments may be given us within the next generation is a matter of conjecture. However, there is a vast scope for invention, .and legislation to encompass ore the highest and best ate Since the orator has given pace to the pen and the warrior-has yield the palm to totlje printing press, the youth at twenty may have a knowledge which ih past ages would have required two generations to procure.

Johnson the question: Why ' is it that the people generally were taking , such an interest in religious revivals? Jo answered him in this way: That the past ’ eight or ten years the people met with prosperity, and had forgotten that there was a God in Isreal: the timesand business ' had become a total failure, the people realized that there was no other refuge since men and neighbors had lost all' the confidence with each other, and the people are realizing as the Psalmist of old said, I have not seen the righteous forsaken nor their seed begging for breifti.

He displayed seven dollars In money in the presence of a few people presently there was a fuss commenced with him by one Jo Eley, and backed by Laman Brandyberry, The Bacon Ridge man being a very quiet inoffensive citizen begged for peace, but'the pugilists insisted on a fight, and got the Bacon Ridge roan down, and it seems that he would have been murdered had it not been for Samuel Wagoner who parted them.

A storm of no small caliber passed over our town on Saturday night. Some of our people arose and doned their apparel and made ready for emeraency.
