Sight or time drafts on New Or leans or elsewhere cashed by J. S. Handy at a small discount. A shot-gun controversy* arose be tween a Mr. Roberts and a Mr. McDowell, of the 10th Ward, last Monday, and the argument used on both sides was of the "knock-down" kind.

McK«e preach ed his first sermon iu Bastrop at the Methodist Church laet Sun day at 11 o'clock. He had i Urge and attentive audience, whom he entertained and in structed with marked ability for one hour. Mr. McKee is a fluent talker, a close reasoner, a search ing preacher. Iu the pulpit he is easy, graceful, and dignified. His gesticulations and intona tions are free from that frantic, hand-spike .slashing of the lists and «.hat boisteious, deafening logomachy of the voice »•hioh usually make such a promiuent feauture of Methodist pulpit or atory. His subject Was this pointed aud peisoual interrogatory fiom the prophecy of Jeremiah: "Whatjiave I done?'' Consider ing the fact that w« have just shaken the hand of the old year, and entered upon the duties of a new, the test was very happilj appropriate: It is now that peo ple who reflect retrospect the past. They review neglected opportunities. Those who do so form résolutions to reform—to be better t men. The preacher knew this, and availed himself of the propitious occasion to point out the duties of men and women, and especially the duties of thosejwho haveijespoused the cause of Christianity. Said he: "The man who lives a drone in the great hive of the christian church, who drags his life away iu slothful idleness^ ueglectingjto do^the work given him by the Master, who simply commits no fUgraut sin, but carelessly omits his duty, is a condemned sinner in the eyes of Jehovah. To be religious re quires work—work, work. Re ligio«! means work. The attain ment of salvation is worth a thousand years of work. Hence the importance of the terse ques tion. 'What bave I done?'" The whole sermon was one of deep thought—- impressive, in structive aud entertaining. We predict for Mr. McKee a suc cessful year's labor in the cause which he seems to have so much Ht heart. There is much room for nigral improvement among the people of Bastrop, and what they need is a man who will boldly aud fearlêssly tell them of their evil deeds. We shall look forward with interest for the pulpit efforts of the Rev. J. M. McKee. A CARD.
