Prentice Mulford,v rising California humor-
list, speaks Of Elder Knapp's inculcations a. fol-
lows: Prejudice against religion, against
Christ, and especially against Elder Knapp, is the
armor Of the devil. Prejudice against pulpit vul-
garity and coarseness leads to damnstion eternal
Prejudice against an old bigot, who has no more
| conception of charity than q sea turtle, will
| plunge the sinner into hell eternal. Prejudice
against an old animal, who has just intellect
| CROUCH to recolect his barrel of sermons tipped
| up at alternate ends as he leeches the community
from place to place, and to foster conceit which
causes him to deem his uttersnces infalible and
himself q sort of Protestant Hope, leads to the
raging flames Of hell eternall."
Sam johnson, freedman, was executed at
Houston few days ago for murder. After he
had mounted the gallows he addressed the assem-
bled crowd Of spectators for thirty minutes. He
said he was ct the "jumping.of place." and with
the grave yswning at his feet he wanted to know

didn't want them to call him friend because

most needed one-in prison. And there was his
dear old mother-in-law, who had come to bid him
farewell and he charged her to comfort his wife
in his absence. Here the old lady, to whom these
last remarks were addressed, who appeared to be
deeply distressed, asked Johnson il he was pre-.
pared and ready to diet To which be responded
| in firm tore, " yes.n and then retired with an
earnest entresty for prayer in behalf of his soul.
In the course of his speech he sang few lines of
an old fashioned hymn, during which many of the
bystsnders were effected to tears.
MACK" Of the Cincinnati Commercial, has had

thinking his case prejudged. At the latter he was
cheerful and even combative. That ia the way
it has been with him ever since the impeachment
began, says friend. He said Butler had never
asked him for place in the cabinet, but Buffers
friends had asked it for him. Forney was very
importunate for patronage, until he found he
could not control the president. The president
said he did not authorize ad interim Thomas to
use threats or force to get possession Of the war
department, but the old gentleman got little
refreshed and very much elated over his appoint
