Foneral Services To He Held To-Day A Death That Causes Widespread Sorrow. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington. Jan. 22. The funeral services over the remains of Mrs. Anna JIardesty Voorhees, wife of Senator D. W. Voorhees, will take place at the family residence, 10G1 1 street, at 1:30 o'clock to morrow afternoon, conducted by the Rev. Dr. Leonard, of St John's Episcopal Church, after which they will bo placed on the Baltimore & Ohio railroad train leaving thi3 city at 3:30 o'clock and taken to the former . home of deceased in Terns Haute. No arrangements, further than above mentioned, have been concluded at present, although it ia expected that pall bearers will be selected by Senator Voorhees from anions the immediate friends of the family. Many telegrams of condolence and many floral tributes have been received from former friends of the deceased, who was greatly beloved by them, and hundreds of sympathizing friends called, to day to express their -t grief personally. No death has occurred here for months -which causod bo great and universal sorrow as that of Mrs. Voorhees. All the local , newspapers speak of her loving disposition and usefulness. The Critic this evening says, editorially: "The death of Mrs. Voorhfle. wife of Senator Voorhees, of Indiana, is an Rflliction that will be widely and severely felt. Not only has a great clond of darkness fallen upon the household 6f which the controlling and effulgent light is thus extinguished, bnt in many other circles, where the deceased was known only to be beloved, Will hearts be bowed with an inconsolable grief. In the daily walk and conversation of Mrs. Voorhees the domestic virtues shone preeminent. She was as rich in charitable and generous impulses as she was devoid of ostentation, and possessed, withal, a force of character that gave direction and wll-balanced judgment, and made her in all relations of life an effective influence for good." This evening's Star says: "The death, last evening, of Mrs. Voorhees, wife of the Senator from Indiana, was a great shock to a large circle of friends. Although not a societv woman in the usual acceptance of that term, Mrs. Voorhees was widely known and highly esteemed, and her death will cast a gloom over, many social gatherings." The remains will arrive at Terre Haute on Monday afternoon, nd the funeral will take place at 10:30 on Tuesday morning from St. Stephen s Episcopal Church. CIRCUMSTANTIAL. EVIDENCE. IU Operation In the Case of Clnverlus Two Other Remarkable Instances. Brel to the Indianapolis Journal. ', Washington, Jan. 22. Although from five to fifteen executions' occur annually at the jail in this District, and banrrings excite but little in- ' terest generally in Washington, there has been a great deal eaid about the execution of Cluverius, on the 14th inst. This is more because of the extreme doubt existinsin the minds of many people as to his guilt than on account of the close proximity to the national Capital of the State iq which the execution occurred. Washington is largely composed of hot heads and impnlfcive characters, little given to sympathy and largely believine in capital punishment, but a great deal of sympathy is expressed with the man who3n soul was Hashed into eternity, full of blood and gnilt. or spotless as to the crime charged against the culprit who possessed it. f It will be remembered that one of the strong links in the testimony that convicted Cluverius was a watch-key. found near the reservoir from which the corpse of Lillian Madison was taken a few davs after her murder or suicide. This watch-key was an unusual one and was identified by a jew eler as tho property of the culprit at loist the jeweler knew of no other Key like it. and knew that Cluverius had one inst like it. In aay.Kcht the case can be put Cluveriua was convicted fiolrly upon circumstantial evidence and had he been tried in Pennsylvania or one of tlirae or four other States, where conviction upon circumstantial evidence will not, under the Constitution or statutes, permit a sentence of death, ho would have be-n alive to day. An Ohio statesnan, discussing the conviction and execution of C'luverius, said: , "In my State a few years ago a man was convicted of murder in the first degree and hanged upon testimony four fold stroneer . than that which cunuemneu Cluverius, ana years after.ward it was . developed that be was as innocent as a person could be. A whole family living in the country was discovered to have been murdered. ' Thero was n hand on the place named Wibon, yrhn bad a club foot and the thumb off his right hand, who disappeared at the time the raurdor was committed, and, of course, he was instantly' charged with the crime. In looking about the house footprints of a man having a deformed foot were discovered; also, the print of a blood stained hand on the door facing which disclosed the loss of a thumb. The farm-hand was found, tried, and, on the 6trenuth of this evidence of the crime auainst him was found guilty and executed. The links of testimony were so complete from the prints in the vard about the house nnd the hand on the whH that everybody was satisfied with the expiation of the crime. Years passed and a criminal lav on his deathbed at Colnmbus. Jnst before he breathed his last he confessed that he had committed the murders for which the other man had suffered. Examination showed that ho. had the deformed foot and the loss of the thnmbon the right hand " Near M uncie, Ind., about ten years nco a barn waa burned one night and a great deal'of property destroyed. A harmless old shoemaker was charged with tho arson, thrown in jail, and a few weeks afterward brought to trial. A detective who had been employed to ferret out the guilty person, and who made the affidavit that the shoemaker burned the barn, took the jury out to the scene of the fire and showed that the boots the shOv maker had on fitted tracks made about the piaco on the night of the fire, and traced the tracks to the old man's, home in the .city. He also produced a piece of cloth from the seat of the shoemaker's pantaloons which he found under a splinter on a ril ou the top of the fence near where the barn stood, and where the tracks showed that the prisoner had left the premises. The ease -as made complete on this testimony. When the. prisoner was about to be found fcntlty it was discovered that the detective, a short time after the shoemaker was thrown in jail, had feigned drunkenness, been rreted and thrown in jail, and in the came cell with the prisoner, where he remained over night. The detective was released the next duy, and u day or two afterwards he repeated the act. It "was discovered, further, that he bad torn the piece of cloth frorr the pantaloons of the prisoner whila the latter was

asleep, and traded boots with him, and when put in jail the second lime had re-exchanged boots. During the interim between the first and second time the detective was in jail he had gone to the farm where the fire had occurred, wearing the boots of the prisoner, made the tracks with them, and placed the piece of cloth under the splinter on the rail. The old man was acquitted without form when these discoveries were made known, but it was a hair-breadth escape. it is believed by many people here and in Virginia that Cluverins may have been innocent of the murder of his cousin, and convicted upon evidence as flimsy as that cited in either of the above cases; but the fact' that he betrayed his couisin, ruined her virtue, and left her heartlessly upon the world, and, according to his own hypothesis, drove her to suicide, mk3 the sympathy much less than it would GtherwiSo have been, a

SECRETARY LAMAR Not Absent-Minded Enough to Forget Ills Rrlde The Only Time lie Was Bewildered.' WflBhinzton Special to New York Snn. Secretary Lamar arrived, to-day, with his handsome bride. Wagers had been laid by clerks in the departments, who see daily evidences of his abstractedness, that the Secretary would come on without her, but he didn't, and he proved to be a very gallant and attentive bridegroom. A few days beforo he went to Georgia to get married Secretary Lamar had occasion to speak of his alleged absent mindedness. His friends, who say he intended to invite his family and friends to his wedding, but foreot to send out the invitations, recall what he said then. 'It's all bosh," said Mr. Lamar, "to call me absent-minded. I was never absent-minded nor bewildered in my life, except in battle. In official life I can keep as straight and regular as a clock: But I'll own up to eetting bewildered in battle. I never knew where I was nor where the enemy were. After I had been in two or three fights I concluded that I must lay down some definite rule of conduct in a ficht to which I could hold myself, for if I did not I could not tell where my bewilderment might some day take me and my regiment I decided that no matter what happened, I would always go ahead in a straight line just as far as circumstances and the enemy would let me. At the battle of Williamsburg I followed- this rule so far that it nearly cost our people the services of myself and resiment. Jf it bad not been for A. P. Hill my first extended acquaintance with the North would have been made from the slender -coign of vantage to be had in a military prison. 1 charged ahead so hot and so fast that when I halted my entire regiment was through the enemy's lines and in their rear. Hill, however, came up on each side of my regiment and prove the enemy back. As he rode up to me he said: 'Colonel Lamar, do you know where you are?' I had to acknowledge a very limited amount of information on that point, and was never more surprised in my life than to learn that I had gone through the enemy's lines. General Hill told me to take my regiment to the rear and let his men go ou, but I begged to be permitted to go on. and so ray regiment was put in line with Hill's brigade, and went on. "I used to think." Mr. Lamar went on to say, "before I saw much fighting, that tho slaughter must be frightful. I could not see how, where so many bullets were flying, there was any chance at all for men to escape being hit. But I soon wondered how anybody was hit at all. My I men mai iay at Williamsburg shot themselves all out of ammunition twice. When we went into bivouac at night I went about asking the ooys now they felt I met one big Mississippian irom ray nome town. " 'John, did you fire off all your powderP " "No.' he said. I tried nard all day, Colonel, to do my best, and I didn't fire but twice. All day lone I didn't draw a bead on a Yankee but twice. I've got my ammunition here.' and he tapped ins cartridge-box. - 'You fired twice!', I said. 'Did you hit 'em thevse times?' " Well, Colonel, to tell the truth. I missed one lank, and I'm in doubt about the other.'. 'That illustrates war." said the Seeretarr. A lot of men march out and proceed to create a lot or accidents. The side that can produce the most accidents ror the greatest number of con secutive hours wins the day." MINOR MATTERS. Trifling Things to Which the Great Reformers Turn Their Giant Intellects. -Special to the Indianapolis Journal Washington, Jan. 22. An old employe of one of the leading departments here said to-day that the alleged minds of the so-called reformers in all the.departments were all concentrated on the little, diminutive, unimportant points in the service. Any little clerical error, that would formerly have been corrected without any fuss or hubbub, now creates as much confusion and jaw-wagging as would an attempt to subvert the very foundations of the government itself. If a figure, or a name, or a word is accidentally omitted from an order, or a letter or paper of any kind, at once the division or room in which it was prepared is a scene of an eager quest for the unfortunate clerk, and when he is found ;x5he - -is passed from head to 1 bead,- till he finally reaches one of the high daddies, where he is overhauled in a style and tone that makes him wish in the innermost recesses of his soul that he bad '"died a bornin'. ' In this sort of infinitesimal reform, hours and even days of valuable time are spent. the public business delayed, and persons havine uuxmt-KB wun me oepanments are compelled to waste their time and money in waiting till the culprit is mnfi-down and duly punished. Of course, errors tfiould not occur if they can bo prevented, nut they have always occurred, and always will, as long as men are frail and imperfect. In nearly every case everv error that would cause a loss to the government or detriment to the public service is discovered and rectified before any harm can result, thanks to the system in vosue when the present administration came in, and if any real reforms are effected they rousC be effected in some other way than by keeping everybody on the qui vive all the time for clerical slips or omissions. ISonds Called for Redemption. Washington, Jan. 22. -The Secretary of the Treasury gives notice that the piincipal and accrued interest of the bonds herein below designated will be paid at the Treasury of the United States, at Washington, D. C. on the 1st day of March, 1S87, and that the interest on said bonds will cease on that day, viz.: Three-per-cent. bonds issued under the act of Congress approved July 12. 1882, and numbered as follows: $30, original No. 26 to 40, both inclusive; $100, orieinal No. 375 to original No. 582, both inclusive; $500, original No. 163 to original No. 245. both inclusive; $1,000, original No. 1321 to original No. 2016, both inclusive; $10,000, orieinal No. 3959 to original No. 5315, both inclusive; total. $13,887,000. Parties holding bonds called by this circular can obtain immediate payment, with interest to date of presentation, by requesting the same in the letter forwarding the bonds for redemption. Sherman's Absent-Mindedness. Special to tho Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Jan. 22. Speaaing of General Sherman's absent-mindedness, an old soldier said to-day: "An incident which happened on Pine Mountain, Ga., the evening that General Sher man sc nt his famous dispatch, "Hold the fort; I am coming," to Allatoona, Oct. 5, 1SG1, illustrates the point. The General received a fresh cigar from some one cigars being scarce and he be gan to shont for a lifht T Peck, of General Whittaker's staff, was the lununavw possessor or a Ireshly-lighted cigar and he politely handed it to General Sherman, who lit his own clear, and then deliberatly tbrew the Lieutenant's pip-hp v,- a smile displayed itself all around. The General was thinking of those million rations at Allatoona; but it didn't appeaso the disgust ot the Lieutenant" Logan's Love of Children. K racial to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Jan. 22. "Senator Logan was very fond of playing with the children,"said alady who oas, for many years, been a frequenter of the Logan household. ''The Senator used to

get so absorbed when he was playing with the little ones that he cared nothing for what was going on around him. He was very fond of his erandson, Lieutenant Tucker's boy, about six years old. I remember that one day just before he was taken ill he was playir.g marbles in a room with the boy. The game was pretty evenlymatehed, and the General was absorbed in it. While the game was at its height the servant brought in a card to him. It was that of a prominent Senator. The General, who was down on his knees at the time, and about to shoot his marble, took tho card, looked at it a moment, then said to the servant: "Tell the Senator to take a seat and 111 be there in five minutes. I want to finish this game, for the bov is ahead of me now," One Small Boat Wonld Answer, special to tho Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Jan. 22. ry many interesting war reminiscences are rehearsed at the panorama of the Battle of Bull Run, in this city. A couple of veterans were discussing war matters there this morning, when one said: "I was present when General Grant bade President Lincoln good-bye at Fairfax Court-house, Va., when he started on to Richmond with the Army of the Potomac Mr. Lincoln said: 'General, I don't want to hear of your retreating towards Washineton.' There was a twinkle

showing sadness in the warrior's eyes, and for a second he seemed to be swallowing something. Finally he replied: ' 'If I do, one small boat will carry my army across the Potomac'"' "It would have donG any man good to have seen tne expression of gratitude and confidence. mixed with pride, shinine out in 'Old Abe's' face when General Grant said this. Mr. Lincoln had the utmost confidence in General Grant's courage and tact, and when he left him he knew tnat Kichmond would succumb."' General and Personal. Special to the ndiananolis Journal Washington. Jan. 22. Representative Cobb was in his 6cat in the House to-day, looking quite well after his brief illness. General Browne writes that the critical condi tion of Mrs. Browne, places beyond the pale of possibility the question of his being here during any of the present session, much as he desires to do so. The presidential party, which will go to Balti more, on Monday eveninsr, to attend the annua charity ball, will consist of the President and Mrs. Cleveland, Colonel and Mrs. Lamont, Mr. and Mrs. - Goodyear, Mr. and Mrs. Sicard, Miss Lamar. If H -s r xuiss iuanning, .niss vuas, juiss ttndieott and Marshal and Mrs. Wilson. They will leave Washineton about 7 o'clock, and, returning, will leave lialtimore about 1:30. The trip will be made in the private car of Mr. Garrett. It is rumored in societv circles here that Seere tary Bayard will, within the year, be married to a young lady who belongs to one of the first fam ilies of Vireinia. It is expected that the en gagement will soon be announced. THE LEGISLATIVE "COMPROMISE.". Senator Dresser Defends Its Terms, and Says the Republicans Will Soon Explain.

CHAMBEBLAIN'S SCHEMES.

He Is Making Preparations for Over turning the Present English Ministry, And at the Same Time Paving the Way for a Keconciliation with Mr. Gladstone Salisbury Fights Shy of Coercion Measures. French Cabinet Crisis Averted by Withdrawal of the Ministry's Demands. The Electors of a Berlin District Afforded an Opportunity to Cast Their Ballots for Either Gen. Yon Moltke or frof. Yirchow. ENGLISH POLITICS. Chamberlain Scheming for Salisbury's Downfall and Reconciliation with Gladstone. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. London, Jan. 22. Mr. Chamberlain is preparing to repeat the famous, "three acres and a cow" amendment which threw over the Conserv ative government of last year. He will, if be caD, upset the present Ministry before the com ing session is two months old. He is sick of op position, with its ambuscades in the cold and its bushwhacking. That ungovernable spirit of unrest which possesses him, which mases mm evervthinsr bv turns and nothing long, is now bearing him impetuously into the arms of Mr. Gladstone, who smiles from afar, with hospitable bosom turned to the erring ones, bo far as Mr. Chamberlain is concerned the little petulant, mutinous dissatisfaction with the growing Caesarism of Mr. Gladstone's third premiership, culmiuating in the cele brated resignation of 'last June, has, to a large extent, been forgotten, and now the states uiou. uu aeciarea . be would -never again hold - office under Mr. Gladstone is ready to bury the hatchet of Liberal dissension. The fact is, Mr. Chamber lam is very much in earnest now. Mr. Glad stone also is very much in earnest, as are also Mr.-John Morley, Sir George Trevelyan and Sir William Vernon-Harcourt. . The conferees will tr-et again next week, when an agreement will undoubtedly, be' formulated, which will bring about a reunion of the Gladstone-Chamberlain sections. But the government looks on with Mark Tapleyian cheerfulness, confident that, as L6rd Hartington remains true to them. he. with his : following, will insure them a majority of twenty in every trial. So say the Conservative 'whips." That is certainly the irrednciblo min imum of a majority, and it may dwindle down to zero at any moment. It'is stated on excellent authority, this after noon, that notwithstanding the publication the outlines of an alleged government coercion bill, Lord Salisbury intends to steer clear such a dangerous rock." The Tories favoring the adoption of such a policy only demand a co ercionact in the event of Mr. Dillon and the other Irish traversers being acquitted at the Feb ruary assizes. But before February is over, Parliament will probably be neck-deep in con tentions of all kinds, and to clear the way for a crimes act will not be an easy matter. More over, it may. seriously be questioned whether the government majority, even if the scheme for the reunion of the Gladstone-Chamberlain sectionf. sfcoaWt. fail, would stand the strain of dragging a coercion bill through Parliament. ljooKing at the matter all round, perhaps the brightest point in the resignation of Lord Ran dolph Churchill i6 that it will stay the govern ment from riding the high hobby-horse in Ire land. By February it will probably be found that Sir Michael Hicks-Beach has put such pressure upon unreasonable landlords that th "Plan of Campaign" will be useless, and. con sequently, discontinued. Mr. Ja.senh Chamberlain in an n J A r.r. -. Humtjj UOI1V ered at Hawiick to-night, expressed . the belief that, from, what had passed at the recent roundtable conference, a complete agreement with the Liberals might be attained. He asked the Lib erals to await in hope and confidence the the re suit of further deliberations. "Ireland had too long," he declared, "been the play-ground paid agitators. The land question ouaht to be dealt with in such a way as to finally maKe the cultivators the owners, and enlarge the small holdings. The tenants will 'never be satisfied while there is a hone of getting the land nothing, which hope formed the basis of present plan of campaign." for the i ne speaser men went on to danonneA this movement as the most immoral and dishonest conspiracy ever devised in a. o;t-;i;,i . In conclusion, Mr. Chamberlain expressed himself as hopeful that the Question of antnnnm for Ireland would be eventually cattla4 r. l principle of providing a legislative authority for n.D iu.Uicuiciit ui us uomesuc atiairs with a provision preservinethe rights of the minorities' and the integrity of the empire.

The Scottish Protestant Alliance 'has sent to Queen Victoria a memo rial setting forth that the aggressions of the papacy in Great Britain and the supremacy of the Pope are subversive of the Queen's authority and of the people's rights and liberties, and that the avowed aim of the papacy is the Vatican's conquest and subjec"uu ui ureat uriiain. THE INTERSTATE BILL. Henry Clews Thinks It Will Seriously Disturb Business Views of the New York Tribune. New York, Jan. 22. On the subject ot the passage of the interstate commerce bill Henry Clews dictated this: "The bill must now be accepted as law, for it is certain of the executive signature, being undoubtedly a popular measure with the multitude, although it is not so with the interstate rail read?. It cannot fail to be in jurious to the workings of those corporations, as its effect is to disjoint and disorganize the meth ods of business. Under the law which it pro vides for, they will be compelled to advance their through rates in proportion to their local charges. This will materially dwarf that class of business. Stocks of the railroads affected bv this new law must become less valuable, as they will suffer by the injury to the business of those roads. There has been, for several davs past. considerable liquidation of stocks, owine to fear of the passage of this bill, an this liquidation is likely to continue for some days, especially from London noitiers." The Tribune, in its financial article, sneakin? of the interstate commerce bill, says: "The large vote by which the bill passed the House, encouraged the 'bears' to sell stocks indiscriminately. But there are no indications that the real holders of securities are in the least dis turbed. It is an axiom that the railway interest of the country, which is widely distributed, and which, through the agency of savines banks, penetrates every American household which has savings laid aside, cannot be disturbed without the infliction of a greater sacrifice to every com mercial, mercantile and industrial interest in this country. It is for this reason that both large and small holders of securities are com'placent and satisfied with the situation. 'Bears' sell stocks freely, and, as they' have done sev eral times before, mark lower quotations, but neither their free offerinesnortheloeic of events and circumstances, as yet, have brought out any real certificates of stocks. We make no predictions, but there is nothing visible which warrants a belief that the result of to-day's raid on values will be any different from those of numerous assaults which have been made unon the market since the first of last December."

AN INFURIATED WIFE She Resorts to Ileroic Measures to Redress the Gross Insults and Wrongs Tut Upon Her. New York,' Jan. ' 22. A knot of young men, standing in East Thirty-second street, opposite the apartment house, No. 203, at 11:30 o'clock last night, were startled by cries of "Murder," issuing from the front flat in the third story. In another instant a woman, only partially dressed, was pushed almost through one of the windows, and the glass came down to the sidewalk with a loud crash. The young men tried to open the front door, but it was locked. Suddenly a woman, with her nightdress almost torn to pieces and her body covered with blood, opened the door, and, apparently not peeing them, began screaming "Murder" at the too of her voice. Then, seeins them, she cried: 'That woman will kill mv babv. Do come m." Leaving a trail of blood on the stairs, she led them up two flights to her flat The door lay in the middle of the room, burst from its hinses, and two of its panels were broken out In the corner, near the broken window. stood a mac, only partially dressed, choking a woman. She was about fiftv years of aire. quite eood-looking, and well dressed. She was struggling desperately, and it was all he could do to handle her. He released her as soon as he saw the youne men, and went into the bedroom behind the sitting-room, in which the struggle tooK place. 1 here was no need to ask any questions. The woman told the storv at once." "That man there is my husband Jasper Garretsou Carpenter. That woman there is his paramour. About ten years ago he began to neglect me, and go after this woman. They have been living here as man and wife under the name of Benton. They came here to live on the zuth of last may, and that baby in the crib there is that woman's and my- husband's Let me cet at the miserable creature. I will tear her to pieces." The wounded woman cowered and quailed. and impiored the young men to protect her. By this time two officers from the Twenty-first precinct arrived, and so did a surgeon. Ho looked at the wounds, and pronounced them serious, though not necessarily fatal. One deep cut in the upper left arm was about six inches long. Besides that, she had two bad cuts in the front of and nnder her chin, as if her assailant had tried to cet at her throat. Her breast had a cut, and her hands and wrists were cut in many places as she had tried to seize the weapon. I he wounded woman was removed to the hospital and the wife was locked up. The husband was so frightened that the neighbors had to dress him. Anxious To Be Sentenced. Chicago. Jan. 22.

' , CAMP-JIEETIN' JOHN. w , .. uu.v. vvaamiuilliuiig LI1B UU11HI1 oiaTHH A Feeble Imitation of Sam Jones Appears anff Edifies the People of Blackford County Special to the Indianapolis Journal ? Hartford City, Ind., Jan. 22. A remarkable religio.ua revival has been in progress for a week past t tha M. Ev Church in this city. The meeting is conducted by a Methodist evangelist,, who rejoices in the name of Rev. John Noggles, and is attracting equally as much attention as did the trance-religionist, Mrs. Woodworth, when here three years ago. "Camp-meeiiur John," as the evangelist dubs himself, is a small man, smooth-faced, and apparently about thirty years of age. He takes no text, but talks in a rambling, disconnected manner, somewhat after the Sam Jones fashion. At times h will raise his voice to the highest pitch, then drop it to a hissing whisper, and then cease talking entirely, and for minutes stand staring his audience in the face without uttering a sound,, and then again suddenly bursting forth in a storm of eloquence, intermingled with ridicule and slang. Last nieht was the seventh night of the meeting, and the audience was the largest of the week. The church in which tho servicesare conducted, alihonch a large and commodiousbuilding, was entirely inadequate for the occasion, and many were turned away unable to obtain seats, or even standing- room. The evangelist appeared to be in his best mood, and, after singing a few camp meeting hymns, he advanced to the pulpit and began his evening talk. Ho wandered from one subject to another until he came to that he termed the "society Christian." "Ob, these society Christians," said theevangelist, ''these dancing Christians, these smoking Christians, these progressive-euchre Christians, these Sunday Christiana and weekday pagans, out to church on Sunday morningr too pious and sacrilegious to live. What do you think of them, brother? sister? Yes, these dancing Christians, these ball room saints. What is dancing, brother? Do you know?

Don't you know that, brother? Tbey put me in mind of an old bony horse I saw down in Massachusetts, standing in a pile of stones picking a few spears of gracs that happened to be growingbetween the roclcs. Oh, I tell yon, brother, I struck a bonanza when I got religion. I was ragged, dirty bootblack, a cast-off, a wharfrat, but the Lord took me into his mansion and adopted me as his son.

There's not a happier man today, any where in this old world, brother, than 'Camp-meeting John.' Look; look there, do you see that lone-faced, pious-looking man coming up the street?
