Our first convert in America is still living and serving the army in Boston. The liistory of his reform ia a remarkable one. Tho conversion of the first of a mighty multitude was brought about by Commissioner Eailton, then in command of the American forces of the army, and Superintendent Thomas Byrnes of the j New York police. Mr. Byrnes was an Inspector of police at the time, early in 1680. It is safe to say that in Salvation Army circles there are very few who do not know Jimmy, by reputation at least. Jimmy was a thief and drunkard when converted in New York in March, 1880. His name is James Kemp. Three times Jimmy narrowly escaped losing his life. On one occasion he was nearly frozen to death outside Billy BIcGlory’s notorious dive. On another occasion he was so brutally beaten in n Water street dive that ho was supposed to bo d ea d- The morgue wagon was called by the police, and the bruised and battered body, apparently dead, was carried to the morgue. When it, or rather he, arrived there some of the doctors made the discovery that Jimmy still lived, and so he was taken to tho hospital, where he remained four months. His last narrow escape from death was when he drank a quantity of spirits ef wine which lie found in a collar. Jimmy drank so much ho went raving mad and tried to Lang himself. He was sent to prison for three months for attempting suicide. The first Saturday afternoon in Blarch, 1880, Jimmy started out to have some amusement, and hearing that tho Salvation Army, which had just arrived from England, was going “to show” at Harry Hill's notorious resort ho concluded to go there and see what kind of people the soldiers were. "When he arrived at Hill’s, ho found that there was an admission fee, and he, with a drunkard’s economy, determined to spend the prico of admission in a different manner. Toward night ho strolled into a dive in Water street, where his Whyo friends painted his back and served his face tho same way and wound up the performance by rolling the unfortunate man in the sawdust of tlie dive floor. Jimmy, after submitting to their treatment, thought they would let him stay there all night; but. alas, they kicked, him out on the street. Just as Jimmy reached tho sidewalk his cap blew off and fell into an ash barrel which was standing near the door of the den. Jimmy tried to recover it, but in'doing so lost his balance and fell head first into tho barrel. Ho struggled to get out, but all his efforts were in vain. He seemed to be there to stay. A short time after Jimmy’s acrobatic feat a policeman came along, and seeing a man's legs in tho barrel set to work to discover who was the owner of them and why lie had them in such a position He took out his chib and struck tho inverted man on the soles of his feet. These means are sometimes resorted to by policemen to arouse drunken men. From tho depths of the barrel came a voice which iho policeman atoncerecognized. He rapped for assistance, and when another officer appeared on the scene an effort was mado to get Jimmy from his novel hut painful position. They pulled at the protruding feet, but Jimmy failed to respond, his clothes having been caught on the nails which had been driven through the barrel. They pulled until tho old rotten shoes gave way and were left in their hands. Tho policemen then threw the barrel down on its side, and laying hold of the unfortunate man’s feet they dragged the barrel and its howling occupant toward the police station. A pitiful sight was poor Jimmy when he reached tuo station. His face, which had been blackened by tho toughs in the dive, was all battered and bruised, and the paint On his face, : mingled with blood, Was. strongly suggestiye of a scalped Indian. Hi's clothes were all torn and las shoes gone... How.conjB.lete tho ruin! How perfect tho wreck! Superintendent Byrnes suggested that tho Salvation Army bo allowed to try its hand on the man, and tho result was his conversion, since which time ho has served faithfully ia its ranks.—Boston Herald.

RILEY’S FAILING. Tlio Ilooslcr Poet 3Jakes Confossfou of a Troublesome Weak rums. j James Whitcomb Riley, the poet, describes himself us a train miaser. A friend thus relates how the poet confesses his weakness: I found 1dm occupying an easy chair in a parlor car that was attached to a train leaving Chicago at 10:30 a. u>. for Indianapolis. After the greetings, in that quaintly humorous strain that has made the man and his writing so popular, he described the trial he moots with as a traveler: “I have been in the depot three hours waiting for this train to start for Indianapolis.” '•Why did you come here three hours before traintime?—10:80 is its leaving j time.” j “Well, you know I am a train misscr. I can’t make a train. It doesn’t make I any difference what precautions I take, I 1 miss it or take the wrong train. I got my [ ticket yesterday—bought it over the 'Monon route’ because I knew’ it went right j through without change. If I ever have to change cars, I'm lost, lam sure to miss the connection or take the wrong train. I had a messenger boy go with me to the ticket office. Never could have found it myself. When I got to the hotel after the entertainment last night, I asked the clerk what time the ‘Monon’ train left for Indianapolis. “ ‘Monon—Monon,’ said he: ‘hasn’t that road got. another name?’ “ ‘It probably has. It would ho just like these railroads to change the name I immediately after I bought my ticket.' 1 Then he looked at one of thoso brain splitting time cards and said: I “ ‘Yes! yesl Mononroute —that’s theL., N. A. and A. C. railway, and it leaves at 3a. m.’ “I left a call for 0:30, so I could have my breakfast and beat tho depot at 7:80. I always go to the depot SO minutes before the train leaves, and then I miss it oftener than I catch it. When I presented my ticket to tho gatekeeper, he said:‘Your train leaves at 10:30.’ That was so, and here I have been since 7:30. “Bill Nye says that when my head was built they run out of gray matter when they came to fill my bump of location, and they filled it with mayonnaise dressing, and that’s a pretty hard thing for a man to think with.”—Detroit Free Press. A Courageous Corpora!. When Lord Eawdou was in South Carolina, bo had to send an express of great importance through a part of the country filled with continental troops. A corpora! of tho Seventeenth dragoons. known for his courage and intelligence, was selected to escort i t. They had not proceeded far when they were fired upon, the express was killed and the corporal wounded in tho side. Careless of his wound, ho thought only of his duty. lie snatched the dispatch from the dying man and rode on till, from the loss of blood, he fell. Then fearing tho dispatch would bo taken by his enemy, ho thrust it into his wound until tho wound closed upon it and concealed it. He was found next day by a British patrol, with a smile of honorable pride upon his countenance, and with life just sufficient'to point to the fatal depository of his sepret. In searching tho body the cause of his death was found, for the surgeon declared that the wound iu itself was not mortal, but was rendered so by the irritation of the paper. Thus fell this patriot soldier—in rank a corporal, he was in mind a hero. Ilis name was O’La very, and ho came from the parish cf Moira, iu County Down, Ireland.—Youth’s Companion. Appearances May Deceive. Should you happen to see a girl walking along tho street with her face wreathed in placid smiles, don't take it for granted that she feels perfectly contented and ha ppy. For tho truth is that— She may he having a nerve destroying argument with herself as to whether her skirt and waistjoieet properly in the back. She may have a tiny hole iu her shoe and be perfectly wretched over the thought of getting her silk stocking soiled. She may he on tho verge of insanity because she knows that tho one pin with which-Bhe fastened her skirt is going to give way. She may bo conscious of a big chunk of soot that has found lodgment on tho end of her nose. She may remember that there is Wt oho hairpin in her hair, and that it would bo just her luck if it were all to tumble down.. She may hear a little snap and may know that her garter has broken. That, however, is simply too horrible for words. —New York Advertiser. IHiml Cyclists. In England, where good roads are not an iridescent dream, cycling parties of bliml persons are sometimes seen. It is not to be inferred that the blind lead the blind, for the steersznan of each connected group is fully competent to avoid obstructions.—Boston Transcript. An Gariy Astronomical Teacher.
