American Revivalists in England.

Moody and Sankey, the evangeists who
have been doing SO remarkable revival
work in Great Britain and Ireland, are
soon to be in London, where MIR. Spur
geon has offered them the use of his
tabernacle, on the South Side the Agri-
cultural, Hall, which will hold II, coo
people, has been secured In the North
Division and in the East and West
Divisions large temporary edifices are to
be put up. The very fact of these great
preparations will crowd their meetings.,
and that is all these men want. Given
the people, and their peculiar influence,
Goods grace" as they firmly believe,
will fill the crowd with religious excite
ment and emotion. ALI the English min
listers who have been engaged with them,
and many Americans, including Talmage,
have been invited to join them in revival
izing London and the grand scheme
is to begin some time in March and con-
tinue till July. When London has been
thus stirred up throughout, Moody and
Sankey are coming home to Chicago.
An account of one of their meetings
shows that there is not little of the
theatrical about their management, and
indeed about Mr.. Moody's preaching,
which Is full of dramatic power. A
writer in the London NesOs calls him q
Yankee Bunyan, who has the great gift
of realizing the unseen, and describing
his vision In familiar language to those
whom he addresses. He fills the lay
figures even of the Bible narrative with
life, clothes them with garments, and
makes them talk American.

Mr.. Smiths Pernlexitx.

A prominent church-goer of Willough-
by, Ohio, who is called Mr.. Smith for
convenience, entered the Methodist
Church at that place last Sabbath, walked
up the aisle very deliberately, chose a
seat in front of the pulpit, in full view
of the audience, took off his overcoat and
commenced folding it. An audible litter
passed through the entire congregation,
and Mr.. Smith could not imagine what
was the cause of the merriment. Having
folded his coat very carefully and placed
it beside him, he was just going to sit
down, when he discovered for the first
time that he was presenting quite a
pugilistic appearance, standing there be-
fore the audience in his shirt-sleeves !!
When he fully comprehended the Gtua-
ton a look of utter dismay was depicted
upon his eountenance. The appearance
of the Furies, the Harpies, or some
Gorgon horror just then would not have
disturbed his peace of mind in greater
degree. SeiKing his coat he put it on in
an incredibly short space of time, and sat
down q aadder and q warmer man.
Every few minutes he would fix his collar
around his neck more tightly as if he
were afraid his coat would slip off a
second time Of its own accord. The min
lister who had to view the whole incident,
with much difficulty and large handker-
chief managed to restrain his laughter.

About q quarter before 10 this morn
ing pedestrians ON Sacramento ano
Montgomery streets, and occupants OF
Donahue & Kelly's bank and the omces
over it were horTified to see man, nuoe
all but q shirt emerge from WINDOW In
the fourth story of the Alta boarding
house and sustain himself at this dizzy
height by clinging to the w1ndow-siil:
His screams of murder and the CRIES Oh
the gathering crowd, who expected 70 see
him every moment lying mangieu
corpse ON the pavement beneath. at
tracted the attention Of the Post editors
IN the adjoining building. On seeing
the MANS danger, the first thought was
to throw the moose of 3 rope over him.
He succeeded, however, in making
spring from the window-siu over nearly
three feet to the perpendicular water
conduit of the Post buildings pipe OF
six inches in diameter. From that he
made another spring and caught the
large Egnboard of the Post. How he
accomplished the feat of holding to SO
large pipe with one hand, even for q
minute, is inexphcable. When he reached
the signboard he passed himself along
hand over hand until he reached the
iron balcony of the corner window of the
Post building, and raising himself with
6ACdS 6&1O41SLA1 tAuGA1 no Cs4Ll1c WAtA444A
reach of some of the editorial corps of
the Post, when he was dragged into the
room to the great relief of the crowd below.
The poor fellow, painting and trembling,
told terrible etory, how he had been
attacked by dozen of masked men who
had murdered all his companions and
had attempted to chloroform him, stab
him, and in other ways put an end 10 his
life, and how two, ten, and 1000 men
had been murdered by these assassins,
until his chamber was drenched with
blood. The poor fellow was evidently
crazy from some cause, and the officers
were sent for. After procuring his
clothes from the lodging house he was
removed to the City Hall. On examina-
ton by the Commissioners on Lunacy
he was remanded to the Home of the
Inebriates for few days, that his mental
condition might be ascertained. He gave
the name of Thomas Allen, aged "a, and
said he was native of Ireland also,
that he had been working on the railroad
in San Mateo county, and had come to
town yesterday. He repeatedly declared
that he had only drank three glasses of
ale, and had gone to bed sober also,
that after a short sleep the attacks on
him began, and had been continued all
night. Few of those who saw the poor
fellow in his peril viii easily forget the
blood-curdhng sensation this maniac 8
performance gave them.-Sdn Fran

A New Way to Paw Old Debts.

Benson Smith, Chappaqua farmer,
was served with meat by Mr.. John Kipp,
the butcher, until Mr.. kipp became sat
isfied that Mr.. Smith did not intend to
pay him, and Mr.. Kipp's brother, who
drives the meat wagon, became incensed
at Mr.. Smiths failure to settle the bill.
One day last week he met Smith. Young
Kipp was on the wagon delivering meat.
He stopped Smith and asked him to pay
up. In the parley the boy lost his tenn
per and said, "H was off the wagon
would take it out of YOU -
Mr.. Smith smiled, and invited the boy
to get right down and do it. The ac-
commodating boy jumped down and
sailed In, and after he had finished, Mr..
Smiths countenance was spectacle to
behold. Young Kipp, unhurt, drove
away whistling.
Mr.. Smith then went before Justice
st. John and sued out warrant, and
when the case was called for trial jury
was demanded The jury having been
completed, MIR. Kipp's lawyer hurriedly
asked Mr.. Kipp whether he had given
Mr.. Smith a receipt. "Eo," he an.
swered in establishment. Then give
him one" Mr.. Kipp quickly complied
and Mr.. Smith took It in wonder.
Snow, if your Honor pleases," said
the lawyer, at wish to cali your atten.
ton to the fact that the assault com
planned of was the fulfllment of con
tract duly made. The consideration was
the amount of the bill, which the boy
was to take in his own way out o.
Smith. :"
The Justice declined to deal with the
knotty point, and turned it over to the
jury, and they lost no time in deciding
that the complainant had no case.

The Use OF Enemies.

When lnan complains of his enemies,
it not only shows that his heart is filed
with bitterness, and that he would not
hesitate to retaliate If opportunity
should offer, but also that he lacks wis
dom as well as charity In not consider
ing how useful an enemy could be to
him. A wise and faithful friend once
spoke to his acquaintance upon this sub
ject as follows You are ever COM
planning of the wrong and annoyance
you suffer from your enemy, but you
forget that more than half your trouble
and fears come from your own heart
Guard more against yourself, and you
will have less reason to fear other enc
mics, for open enemies are far less dan
Rerous than secret ones That man is
an enemy to himself who indulges IN
hatred to his fe1low-man, and neditates
revenge against those of whose hostility
he complains for by cheriahing such q
temper Of mind he makes himself an
enemy of the God who condemns all inn
placability and malevolence of dspoai-
hon. Now, consider the matter calmly,
and you will soon see how much good
you may derive from an enemy, and
thank God that SO much good can come
of evil. .

LIVELY SCENE IN CONGRESS.

D1sasreement 1sa Between Ben Butler and a
member from the Lone Star State
= ROW. and Almost Fight.
Ii occurred during debate ON the
Savn Rights bill, and ia thus described
BY correspondent of the Chicaoo
1A1.es de (Butler) proceeded to stig-
matze, by inference, the maioritv of the
people OF the South. as murderers. ban
oatn, and horse-thisves. This remark
sllrreo up the Southern members, and
tusy came crowding down to the front,
W. w1tn eyes flashing and threatening looks.
!ney were unwise in this. Randall said
dur1ng the row, stIt don't amount to
slhuckss and that they should consider
tne source OF the remarks before becom-
ing onended. The uproar and hubbub
was so great that when Mclean, of
texas, called out TO Butler, 81 You are
the only murderer know of; you mur-
dered a man in New Orleans, he did
not at hrst hear it. Some other words
were exchanged, when member ran to
Butler and told him what Mclean had
said. Butler then bounded out IN front
OF the Speakers desk, and roared at
Mclean that the time had long gone by
when such ruffan1y, unparhamentary,
ana ungentlemanly language could
frlghten anybody. There was now one
OF those lively scenes that occasionally
occur upon the floor of the House. Con
fusion reigned supreme for a moment,
while Blaine pounded away vigorously
with his gaveL As soon as order was
partially restored, Mr.. Blaine condemned
McLean's language as grossly unparlia-
mentary.
Mclean said he had understood Butler
as calling the people of the South muir
hon h -
Butler denied this, and then, to save
any more recrimination, the House
waited fifteen minutes for the short hand
reporter to transcribe Buffers words, as
taken down. The scene was made fur
ther interesting by Butler saying that it
was true he had hung man in New Or
leans. He was proud of it, and was only
sorry that he had not hung more. When
his words were read, it was seen that he
had not openly charged the Southern
people with being murderers and the
like.
Butler gave way for Lynch, the col
ored Mississippi member, and he began
to speak, but the confusion was SO great
that he could not be heard.
Lamar, of Mississippi, ran over to
Lynch, and got him to yield moment,
and then Lamar called the attention of
the Chair to the language used by Butler
in reply to Mclean, and asked if that
was not unparIamentary. He wanted
censure visited where it belonged.
Pelham, of Indiana, crowded In front
of Lamar at this. tsGod damn il, /" said
he, "there is going to be q fight now. .
There was another crowding of members
TO the front, during which De Witt, OF
New York, had some words with Butler.
Butler told him to get out of the crowd,
and stop mixing with other people,
quarrels. Then De Witt went right over
to Butler and shook his fist in his face,
to show him that he was not afraid to
talk without permission. The enmity
between these men is especial, because
De Witt is attorney In a case against
Butler to recover money taken by the
latter, during the war, from New Or
leans bank.
The Speaker then enlivened matters
by ruling Buffers language also unpar-
hamentary.

Missouri Bandits.

fKearney QGo.) Cor. Chicago Tribune.
BY popular verdict, the history of the
James boys would be the criminal histo-
ry of the Southwest SINCE the war.
There has been scarcely robbery of
any magnitude for eight years with
which their names have not been con-
nected. A
In March, 1868, the Logan County
Bank, at RussellviIle, KY, was seized and
robbed during business hours, and the
robbers rode away on feet horses with
their booty, and escaped into Missouri.
To this day the Kentucky officials are
willing to swear thak the leaders of the
marauding band were Frank and Jesse
James.
In December, 1869, came the robbery
of the GallRtin Bank IN Dayiees county,
Mo-. and the killing of John w. Sheets,
/ the cashier.
Following right upon this was the rob
berry of the cashier of the Kansas City fair
grounds in his Office the deed done in
| sight of 90, 900 people.
The bank of Corydon, Iowa, was plum
dered in june, 1871. A resolute posse
trailed the robbers as far as Daviess coun-
ty, Mo-. overlook them, fought, and were
| repulsed.
In April, 1872, the bank at Columbia.
| KY, was visited the same way, and the
preying band were tracked 20 the borders
Of Missouri and lost.
The contents Of the bank at Ste. Gene
We've, Mo-, want in May, 1873. Since
then have come, IN startling succession,
the train robberiea of Iowa, GadahiIl.
i and, lastly, Of Muncie. There Is nothing
in the criminal history Of the country
TO equal this record of bold plunder-
/ ing.
These are only the greater crimes
charged upon these boys. There are
scores Of lesser charges which popular
opinion has fled against them. For
these past eight years more romance and
more Terrorism has attached 10 the names
Of the James boys than to MI other des-
peradoos Of this hall tanned Southwest

Honor as tnext' was called.
g say wasn't, I" replied the prisoner.
tWen, officer, arise, hold up your
hand, tell the whole truth and stop
coughing. Now then, go ahead"
jackson was found seated in public
stairway, his back to the wall, eyes shut,
and his nose being gradually frostbitten.
When aroused he said he wouldn't go
with the officer until he could have on a
clean paper collar, q shirt which buttoned
behind and pair of sleeve-buttons with
dogs heads on them. The officer had
to tear his coat collar off before Mr..
Jackson could be induced to take a
moonlight stroll down through the valley
leading to the Central Station. All Of
which the officer said was the truth and
nothing but the truth, and he held up
the coat collar to add weight to his
words.
"Mr. Jackson, can't have you folio.
ing around this town in this sort of way, "
said his Honor. You are out of money,
look bad all over, and it seems that ali
the ambition has faded ont of your
character. / shall have to make it sixty

''I won't work, % retorted the prisoner.
They won't require you to. I shall
send up word to have you dressed like q

servants and given room with velvet
covered furniture Remember, Mr..
Jackson, in ordering your oysters that
the breast is the most nutritious portion
of the animal, and if you want luck you
will save your wish-bones."
