Manch, ster Correspondence Cincinnati Com
mercial.
Lancashire is still in such condition
that belief in witches, boggarts bargrists,
and all manner Of infranatural things
may be still found. 1t cannot be wen
dered that Moody and Sankey found this
to be their most fruitful field in England.
No doubt they will soon return here, as
they are almost played out at Her Mai
estys opers-Aouse. They have not
ceased to pray loudly against the spirit
Of superstition" and the spirit of crit.
icism" which have met them in London
and thus far foiled their efforts; and no
doubt they long for the more eongenial
spirits or spooks of Lancashire. London
has begun to laugh at them. A sermon
which Moody preached there describing
an auction at which Jesus and the Devil
we're represented bidding for souls as
Agnew and Vokes do at Christie's for a
big lot of pictures, amused the public;
and another sermon on "The Blood, re.
yealing the Deity in the role of an ogre
of the f-fo-fum description ever on the
scent for blood, disgusted it. But Moody
has not dared to talk in London the way
he did in Manchester. A gentleman
told me that he Moody spoke to con-
gregation of which the larger portion
were ladies, concerning a lady who had
prevented her daughter from going to his
inquiry meeting, that she would "be
punished in hell by being forced to
stand, without ability to prevent it, and
see her daughter suffering the embraces
OF lewd men," My intormants wife
wrote a letter for the press protesting
against such language; but the papers
burked 1t, alleging that they had resolved
to print nothing for or against the revi.
valists. There was a sort of whisky
war terrorism" A Congregationalist
minister preached a sermon against rel.
gious excitement, calling no names. and
his congregation now has another min
ister
Cultivated clergymen found their con-
gregations so much interested in Moody
and Sankey that they became timid and
were afraid to critcise them. Indeed,
the only liberal minister who was coura,
geous enough to grapple with the dog
matte revivalists was the American, Mr..
Harrington, already alluded to, who has
preached and printed a discourse criti-
cising his orthodox countrymen with
great ability.
One phenomenon l have observed.
There is springing up in this provincial
region little Moody Mythology. If this
visit Of the American revivalists is re.
membered a hundred years from now, it
will probably be in connection with a
whole crop of legends which are now
floating about as good stories" but
may in that length Of time have ac-
quired important dimensions. The story

The Masher Of the Iron Mines.

He was always mad During the flush
times of 1928 he used to loaf around
the docks and invite sundry and divers
persons to climb up and sit on the fleshy
part of his arm. he was muscular, and
he knew it. In the bloom and pride of
early manhood, he was as the lofty hol-
lyhock topping over the modest catnip.
He wore his pants stuffed into high ton
boots, strap girting his waist, blue fan
mel shirt turned under low down on his
breast, and broad hat that swept away
from his beetling forehead like the FAN
tail Of ferryboat. When barge load
of coal or limestone tied up on the dock,
he would shove his hands inside the ton
of his pantaloons, swagger up to the
edge Of the pier and spurt out three
gills Of tobacco juice. This was the size
Of his,mouth. He was slow, deliberate
and great. II he heard Of a fighting
mate on board any OF the vessels in port,
or even common sailor whom nature
had upholstered, as it we're, to order, he
longed for his blood, and sought him out
with an earnestness that was beautiful in
its devotion. Everybody liked him. He
was frank, open hearted and would Just as
leave kick your head as look at you. If he
desired drink, sll he did was to saunter
up to one Of his numerous admirers and
inquire what the Governor Of North Car
olina said to the Governor of South Car
olina, and the reply of the latter Execu-
tive, that he considered it long time
between drinks, usually ending in
quenching his thirst at somebody else's
expense. He was bruiser from Bruis-
erville, he was, and admitted, reluctantly,
that he had cleaned out no less than

nation that exceeded his most sanguine
expectations. The Detroit Pile Driver
came up, had an interview, and bis friends
made him as comfortable as possible on
his way back to the city. The panic
came, and he smiled a lofty smile, step
ped on board the cars, and beat his way
out to Utah. Last winter snow slide
rushed down the mountain side and
buried him sixteen feet deep, but he
gradually wriggled out, came to the sur
face, and requested them to fetch on a
decent snow slide if they we're going to
have any truck with him!

that man who laughed at them fell
down dead has been explored to its fab
ulous origin, but like other fables, it
tiourlshes all the same. A story that
when some scofer came to Moody and
asked him if he could perform miracles
and was kicked out with the remark "I
can cast out devils" has been told me as
having occurred in four different regions
Of the country. The wild legend that
while they we're in Liverpool there were
no committals to prison has similarly
taken root in various cities and cannot
be killed by any quantity Of facts. On
the other hand, there are large number
of fables Of contrary character, which
shows a like ubiquity. On every railway
yol hear the abecdote that Moody's
worldly daughter having gone to the
theater, was met by her sanity father at
breakfast with the greeting, Good
morning child Of Satan" and replied
Good morning, papai" 1t happened
at Sheffield, also at Dublin, also at GIas-
gov, that Moody having asked a gentle
man whetherhe had found Jesus, was
answered No, have you lost him?'
But the favorite anecdote Of the worldly
is that at a junction in Yorkshire a
young man entered car, swearing fu.
riously at the railway servants as not
knowing their business, and having sew.
eral times put him on the wrong train.
Moody being in the car, much shocked at
the youths profanity, said. young
man, do you know where you are 90
ingY " Halifax" answered the youth.
Nc" replied Moody, solemnly, you
are going to hell" " On the wrong train
again, by G-dl' exclaimed the youth,
leaping from the car. This myth bears
a plain relation to the Hell or Halifax"
proverb, and yet an effort has been
made by dozen railroad lines TO pla-
giarizs it. Besides the above for years
have been told about Peter Cartwright.
Father Taylor, Dr. Beecher and other
famous revivalists and preachers in
America and Of others like them 10 this
country, related as having occurred with
Moody any time in the last few months.

A young Granger had got his Pomona S

ments for the happy event Being op-
posed to middle men in matters general
matrimonial especially, he put his trade
card in his pocket, and went to Louis
vile to make his purchases. Among
other things, he laid in full stock of
buggy whips, as one Of the essentials to
q well.regulated household. As he
neared home, on his return, he met one
Of his neighbors, who wanted to know
what use he proposed to make of so
many whips. ITO thrash the first man
that attempts to tease me about my ap-
preaching marriage, was the surly
reply. VERY vel" replied the jocular
neighbor, you had as we'll begin with
me" The challenge was accepted, and
getting out in the road, they reinstated
the obsolete manner Of settling differ
ences by cutting jackets" !" Unfortu-
nately the young Granger's adversary
was an OK wagoher, and handled the
whip with such marvellous agility that
the wedding had to be put off two
weeks to allow the intended groom's
hide to heal up. BE has set all the wool
off three sheep.skins and consumed
seven square feet of court plaster, but
he thinks he can stand it now, and the
wedding is announced positively to take

We are word-coiners every day, and
the word bloomer has become classic
in our literature; and, when met by our
yeung readers, its origin is as obscure as
that OF many Of the hieroglyphics on

aware that the source OF this purely
English word is still alive in the person
OF a lady Of Council Bluffs, who, nearly
thirty years ago, abandoned to Dr. Mary
Walker the Bloomer breeches, and re.
tired modestly to the safer retreat of
ample skirts and less prominent ankles.
Amelia" as she is familiatly called is

literary and personal cotemporary OF
Cady Stanton and the venerable Susan
B. Anthony, who annually make pill
grimages to her shrine, she takes an
active interest in the relics Of the woman
suffrage movement, and writes temper
ance communications to local papers.
In the cause she has spent a large por-
tion of her life, and in her younger DAYS
made a good impression upon the lee.

lived at her ease. Her husband, D. c.
