A METEOR IN TUB PULPIT. THK ROMANTIC CAREER OF AN ERRATIC REVIVALIST. THH ORATOBT THAT '.VAS JOHN SBWtASD MArriTT'a 8CKFTBR THE CONVERSION OF KKSID!tT HARBISON 3fArriTT' TWO UN HAPPI MARRIAGES. The New York San tells the story as follows: John Nawland Maffitt was born In Dublin. In boyhood he waa Impressed by tha Impassioned elcquenco of Dean Elrwtn, then famous nof only in Leinster, bnt In all Ireland. Within a few years Maffitt became Methodist preacher. His first efforts were so i unpromising that some- of his friends urged him to abandon the pulpit, especially as be had been pelted with atones in the environs of Dublin and in Drogbeda, and, on one occasion, had come very near losing his lite at the hands of a mob tbat insisted upon throwing: him into the Lifley. From such an unorthodox baptism the young preacher was spared only by escaping through a back uoor of the bouse in which he had ben preaching. Maffitt came to New York, and his first appearance In .any pulpit was at a campmeetlDg near New London, Conn. HB FLASHED OUT BPIJCJIDIDLY. and was boo a recognized at the biasing light of the New England conference. In Boston be get into trouble, and was plain tift in a libel suit; but he came oft with a verdict in his favor. This was the genesis f aperies ol slanders tbat followed him to his grave. Disconnecting himself from the Haw England coniarence, Matnt was thence forward a revelling revivalUt for a quarter ot Century. Iii rct wn lemporary. tie fleeted chaplain to coDere, and in the ball of the House he electrified the represen tatives bv a thrilling tribute to the wall known English Methodist minister, Cookirn, lost in toe Ill-la' ed President. Hatte qaentlv Maffit wa called to the professorehlp of elocution In Lrange College, Alalaaia; then n edtiel tbe Calvary Token, a monthly periodical in Auburn, New York; then a religious weekly in Nashville ; and then another In NatcLez. All th 8 was re creation from a'duous evangelical labors. THK HCCSK8 HB DREW. There are white-haired men and women In New York who rf member when the ser vices of the police were called into requisi tion to keep in order tbe multitudes that blocked tbe sidewalks and roadway of tbe street in front of tbe church in which Maffitt was to preach. Oo odo occasion In Boston it was anouneed at tbe morning: service ar. the Methodist churches tbat Niaffitt had arrived, and would preach In the Old Federt Street Theater at early candle light. The day waa wtt and dismal, and tbe night dark and stormy. Yet, loog before tne hour for tbe service, every seat was filled, and people packed themselves against tbe walls and in tbe aisles, content with "standing room only!" No rmn save Daniel Webster could have diawn such an audience on a night so unpropitiuus. It was about this time that Nilb's Register said that the coming and going of the Rev. J. N. Maffitt was trumpeted with all the noise that attended Kean In his starring trip in America. There was something of ubiguity about this man. He shot acre a the religious Lorison like a meteor. Scarcely had the revival fire died out in one place "betöre it broke forth furiously In another. Maffitt in tbe pulpit was figure worth remembering. The spectator looked upon . A S3C ALL, FALK, D ABK-ETKD MAN, with a fine mouth somewhat marred by an operation for harelip, whose head resembled In size that or the late Sargent 8. Prentiss, the forehead broad and the brain packed massively in front. The fcalr over the temples waa sbaven clean, whether to preserve it or to Ire more lollneca or rotun dity to tte brow, is Dot known. Bis locks were curly, oiled, and treated with womanish daintiness. lie bad a habit when driving in a close carriage to cburch ot taking off nis hat, probably to prevent his bair from being discomposed, so tbat it might be la the best order in the pulpit. In dress, he was scrupulously neat, even' elegant, and sometimes. In hot wtatber, while be was preaching, be sprang tbe buttons ot bia wblte -vest, and a jrold watch chain fell RliUering down. Thtne were, perhaps, foibles, bnt Mafflt might bve thought with Goldsmith that: "An emoeror In hit nlghUeap U not 'tialf thee mperor aa when bis crown la on tU head." All dandyism waa Boon forgotten, for he kept his congregation wide swake and al ve to h i slightest wbispr. In his delivery do one knew better to ft to Bult tbe word to tbe action, tbe action to tbe word," and there were moments in which tbe liquidity of bis intonation was Inimitable. Bat the peroration was of all things telling. His words thrilled as the hlastoiatrumrwt, intbe silliness of night. "You stand no the burning crust ot tbe VOleano or hell!" It w tbe loaf, the minntr, tbe look fro in b'a flashing bszai eves thai electriüed. ow. rarrison's conversion. A superb tarti'.'ao a ver? Napolecn In evangelical strategy, MefQt df steaded from tbe pulpit elnaing suae appropriate hymn, and intensified the excitement by these fiery harangues which be knew so well now to make effective. Scoffing intellect and Intrepid mfdlncrltj cot only capi'ulated. but surrendered at discretion. Oae sample ot ite admirable tact f the

preacher will serve to show what Is meant.

In a revival in Cincinnati, Gen. Harrison, then candidate for tbe presidency, was la the hou-is. Mafflt .bad concluded his ser mon with an Impassioned appeal to sin ners to come to tbe altar ana strive for conversion. Gen. Harrison arose and said tbat be had loog thought of maklnz armbllc confession of his belief in Christianity. "He now felt it his duty to do S3. His enemies might construe the act as a bid for popularity, but that could not de ter him. ai the old man wautea siowiy toward the altar, Mafflt descended from the pulpit, and, taking Harrison's hand, sang a stanra of a well-known revival song: Old aoldler, follow me J We'll die on the field of bettle. We'll die on the field of battle, With glory in oar souls! , Tb. effect was electrical. There was scarcely a dry eye In tbe congregation. The decadence of MaQt's popularity bad Its origin In marriage. No Trapplat was ever more unfitted for oonjugualuy than be. lie married In Ireland, and at length both husband and wife quietly separated arter a reunion in this oonntrv. The wile took np her resi dence In Galveston, Texas, and there she died, highly esteemed by all. Ineongeniality wss said to bare caused tbe separation. Tbe secret wu, at all events, burled with their bodies. It was Mafflt's last marriage to a girl in Brooklyn that provoked acrimo nious comment, altoougn nis nrst wue wss then dead. The girl waa one of tbe great revivalist's converts. She was beautiful, of an ardent temperament, and had fallen In love with tbe still handsome preacner. ineir brief married-unmarried li'e was not happy. One day, when Mafflt wss preaching in New Orleans, his child-wlie died, and then arose tbe crv of tbe Scribes and Pharisees "Crucify Mm!" Then Mafflt was assailed by many secular and some religious ntwapaoers: bis private correspondence with bis dead wile.was published; he was accused of murder, and even incest. THK LAST. For awhile the great revivalist buried himBell In the wilds ot Arkansas, preachBng here and there with bis old fervor. At length be visited Mobile, and there met with Pharisai cal coldness, save at the hands of afaw brave spirits, among whom way be named tbe Rev. Jefferson Hamilton, and the ''blind preacher," tbe Rev. Wm. H. Mllburn, as one of tbe Mobile newspapers repuoiisnea irom a New York weekly a scandalous article in which Mafflt was attacked with violence. Even a beloved sister, then temporarily with htm, waa defamed. Tbe republication was the act of a member of bis own denomination. Mafflt solemnly denied tbe truth of tbe charges, and gave this denial as much publicity as possible. Hamilton and Mllburn joined in a card,- but it was too late. Those who saw an apparently strong and healthy man in the streets or in the little cburch of Tonimlnville, a suburb of Mobile, little suspected that the heart of a great preacher waa breaking. In the village pulpit the old spirit of eloquence was upon him. People flocked to hear him. and a revival was soon begun. Once again, although the circle in which he moved was small, friends gathered aiound and bade him go on with tbe good work. But while he was all vigor and Intensity in the church HE WAS WEAK AS.A CHILD AT HOME. Two of his intimate friends, Col. McKean and wife, said tbat for hours together, after the last published attsck upon his reputation, Mafflt paced tbe floor in agony, tears streaming lrom his eyes, and placing his band frequently upon his heart. "It throbs like a drum!'' he said, when asked whether he suffered pain in his left brennt. This nntappy condition could not last. One evening, while accompanying a lady wbo was seated at a plane, tinging "Napoleon's Grave' Maffitt suddenly clasped his left breast, and loll to tbe floor. lie wan put to bed, sallering intensely. Mrs. McKean asked him wnetber be bad anything to say in relation to the publication that had wouoael bim, and Mafflt replied that while be bad done many frivolous things, be bad been guilty of no criminal act, and be treely torgave his enemies wbo bad by their attacks hastened bia end. Not long afterward, ho suddenly pulled the sheet of tbe bed over bia face, and when it was taken thence he was dead. A post mortem examination by Dr. Nott and others revealed tne caiss ol Mamtt't death. His heart waj greatly enlarged, and tbe lelt wall worn to tbe consistence of thin paper. For several months tbe organ waa exhibited as a medical curiosity both in Mobile and New Orleans. It was then deposited with tbe body in a Mobile cemetery. An effort waa made to erect a monument over tbe grave, but it dtd not succeed. Maffitt died poor and almost friendless. WALLING IN THE WATERS. THE FALLS OF ST. AN THONT A WALL FORTY FE KT BIO H TO HOLD DP THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER. A Minneapolis correspondent writes the New York Graphic as follows: I send you herewith a plan for the gigantic work now being prosecuted by tbe federal government at this point to preserve the falls of S. An thony and the vast water-power from de structlon, and as a final end, to maintain the 600 miles of steamboat navigation In the Mississippi river above this city. It Is oae of the largest, most necessary, and profitab'e pieces of internal improvement now being prosecuted within tbe limits or tbe United States. The river at this point, arter flowing seieoely for 600 miles, suddenly drop over a lime none ledge and falls to feet in one plunge, creating tbe largest . available water power in the world. Since Father Hennenin named tte lall, 200 years ago, it has receded nearly half a time up me river, ana the water mark along tbe bnk prove tbat tte fll at one time wis at Fort Soelllng, eight miWs below. This constant retreat of the fall is caused by tbe breaking away and dropping down of tbe limestone stratum as It ie undermined by tbe backset at tbe foot of the cataract. THE LIMESTONE LKDGB is only from nine to fifteen feet thick, and "runs out" In a bed of sind a quarter of mile above the brink of the fall. If this obstruction to tbe channel should wash out, or, if a new channel should get under it, the water-power here and tbe hundred ofmiiea of navigation la the rlrer above would be forever destroyed. To prevent these calamities Is the object ot the pending improvements. .The peril of the falls wa greatly Increased seven years ago by a foolish project of the Tunnel Manufacturing Company, which excavated in the sandstone under the limestone, a tunnel the whole length of Hennepin inland, lea purpose being to serve as a tall race under tue Blteg of manuiactories to be built. Water wi s to be received above the fall and diecbarged below it. The f.recloo work bad proceeded to tbe loot ot Nicollet Islaad, wbere, in Or.ober, 1869, tbe tunnel was invaded by the waters of tbe Mississippi rlvfr. TLe original tunnel was six oy six feet, but tbe rusbing waters toon excava'd aai'ilctwiy through tbe solt sand r(k 16 feet higa and Iron 10 to 00 leet wide, oo mucb of tbe saud rotk speedily washed nut tbat large maseea oi the superincumbent LINK ROCK FELL INTO TBE TUNNEL. Rude coffer-dams were built up to keep the river In lta cbaooel, it possible, but

there were new breaks through tbe lime

stone, and the destruction of the whole water-power waa seriously threatened. After, tbe citizens had taxed themselves heavily the federal government cams to their assistance. To prevent tbe opening ontot a permanent channel under the fails, solid bulkheads of masonry were built in tbe tunnel, and means were uevised to cut on the percolations through tne unaeriying sand rock, which is so sott tbat it is easily cut with a knife. At last it became evident to CbL F. U. Farquhar, tbe government engineer in charge, that nothing could save navigation and tne water-power snort oi two tremendous walls ' of water-tight masonry under the limestone ledge at both ends to hold up tbe river. Tbia great work Is now being executed. The lower well, or dike, ss being the most immediately neces sary, ia being built first. TWO HUNDRED MEN ARS W0BKIJO in three relays, night and day, on the Im mense atruoture. Tbe sustaining' wall, Just above the fall, Is underneath the limestone ledge (which rests upon its top,) and extends from one bank xf the river to the other. It Is 1,850 feet In length (more than a third of a mile,) 40 feet high and 4 feet thick. Its base is 70 feet below the water-level and some 20 feet lower than the foot ot the fill. This, it is believed, will effectually prevent the breaking through of any new channel. It is said that tbe water has never gone more than 17 feet into tbe sand rock to do any damage. This peculiar fallacious formation runs down lor 1,000 feet, but it is quite firm and solid below tbe bottom ot tbe dike. Tbe construction of this wall Is now beleg pushed rapidly by Mr. J. L. Gillespie, C. E., in charge. Tbe cut of the wall, 40 fee, high, ban bean excavated nearly to tbe Minneapolis (west) shore, and the concrete ot eement and crushed stone Is more than half filled in. I was in there to-day, shielded with rubber and armed with a torch, as If for a journey in the Mammoth Cave. And it is almost as wicrd and ghostly a, trip 70 fett beneath tbe Mississippi. Down In deeper pits and offin side shafts as in a coal mine, workmen are swinging picks and shovels in dim light, cars are rusbing by on subterranean tramways, pumps wheeze asthmaticatly, and buckets go up and down, drawn by the arm of tbe steam giant that shakes Hennepin island far over head, A STORY" OF SHAME. a IThe President's Private Secretary's Connection with the Whisky Rinar. THE PREPARATIONS FOR DEFENSE. THE EVIDENCE OF HIS COMPLICITY LONG KNOWN TO THE PRESIDENT HIMSELF THE DISCUSSION ON THK COURT OF INQUIRY IN THE CABINET. The Washington correspondent of the New York Herald ot Monday says: Tbe most startling piece of newa here to-night is that the grand jury In St. Louis, on Friday last, found a true bill of Indictment against Gen. Babcock, and tbat it will probably be formally returned to the court to morrow. It bes been believed here for some time by well Informed peisons that this would be done. It is well known, as was telegraphed to you several days ago, tbat evidence ot his communioations with the St. Louis whisky ring was discovered some months since, so long ago in fact as last July. Shortly afterward the matter assumed such a definite shape that all ita details were laid before tbe president. From tbat time tbe investigation in tbe case has been vigorously followed up by tbe prosecutors, and the president has been made acquainted, in alvance, with ecb step taken. Tbe delay In tbe ca-e has arisen from tbe exti erne caution which has been enjoined by tbe tieatury department. Upon those who were managing tbe case in St. Louis, on account of Gen. Bibcock's intimate relation s to tbe president, and tbe effect which tbe proceedings against bim must have upon Gen. Grant. It waa thought only justice to bestow unusual care upon tbe investigation, bo that no public step should be taken until it was known, beyond ressonable doubt, tbat Geu. Baocock waa really Involved in euc a way as to muks it necessary, in the Interest ol justice, that HK SHOULD BI BROUGHT TO TRIAL. It U the knowledge of tte great care taken to sift the evidence in his case which gave such weigbt to the open announcement of Oeceral Henderson, tbe chiei prosecutor in St. Louis in te whisky trials, tbe other day, to tbe effect tbat tbe government expec ed to show that General Babcock wts connected with tte ring. General Babcock, in common with the president, has known, in general terms, tbe nature of tbe evideuce collected against bim, and hehss, therefore, had a good opportunity to prepare his defense. The movement for a military court ol inquiry Lai much more behind it than a simple demand tor a court on tbe part ot an officer jealous ot hid reputation. It was decided upon alter long and earnest consultation with army Irlends and with politicians of high ttanding. It was believed tbat matters could be so shaped aa to bave a military court take tbe place of atiialby civil court in St. Louis, or, at any rate so as to have it meet and pronounce its opinion in tbe absence of any civil tribunal. But, alter very lull discuss on of this feature of tbe case in cabinet ou Friday, it was unanimously decided that under no circumstances would it be decent or allowable to permit a military court to take tbe case out of the HANDS OF A CIVIL TRIBUNAL. It bas come out sine e the decision, through some of General Bibcock's army friends, that when tbe court or lnqniry was demanded It was confidently expected tbat tbe trial of the case could be transferred from St. Louis to this tribunal. It was believed tbat the prosecutors at St. Louis would willingly give way, or, at least, virtually permit a transfer to take place by re haloing from further proeetdiDgs. Bat upon tbis Ylew of dealing with tbe subject being presented In cabitet, it is understood tbat Secretary Bris tow protest el at onoe end presented such forcible reasons that all present were cor a rained to admit that be mas light and it was, decided tbat instructions should he forwarded to District Attorney Dyer ttat under no circumstances was be to be delayed or res. rioted by the appoiutment or tbe action of tbe miliary trlbuual to be appointed. These Irs rnctions were sent him yesterday. Chioao was fixed upon as tbe place of court, because it would allow its pieeldent (Sheri dan) to ba near bis headquarters, and it was also sufficiently near bt. ixmis to enao.e it to obtain witn84s readily. It ws also deemed fairest to General Bibcock to lave bis case beard at a distaace from tbe exclioiiient and clamor whiou are kuown to exist in 8t. Lout. Tbe court bas tbe same power tOKurmuQ witnesses as a court martial, and Us PRCCRSS FOR SUMMONING WITNESSES. runs through tbe United States. General Bibcock' military friends say tbat tbe president, at a recent cabinet meeting, probably 00 Friday, suggested tta'. tbe procsedIdr before tbe civil court should give way

to those before the military court of inquiry, but tbat tbe lawyers in the cabinet quickly showed him that this would not do, and the resident Immediately acquiesced. Tbe deay possible under the military proceedings would be, very great. The court is ordered to' report upon tbe facta and give an opinion, bene of the necessary witnesses are in Chicago, and they must . be brought mainly from HU Louis and Washington. The court , of inquiry can pronounce no sentence, no matter how guilty it might: find tbe accused. It can at tbe most only eay , that, in its judgment, trial

by court martial should fake plac. If aucb a trial soould follow, so much of tbe ground would have to be traversed anew as to consume much time. Tbe Howard Court of Inquiry, where nearly all the witnesses and all of tne records examined were in Washington where tte court was held, occupied over forty days. These statements give point to the strenuous attempt to have tbe military proceedings supersede all further action by the grand jury or the court at St. Louis. . DISEASES OF THE BLOOD.
