THE HON. E. JOHN ELLIS AMONG
THE METHODISTS.

We have heard told recently an
anecdote of the Hon. E. John Ellis,
the distinguished and eloquent ora.
tor, who, at the present time, is a
member of Congress from Louisi.
ana, and as it has never been in
print, we give it a place, as it aptly
illustrates his lively appreciation
and peculiar methods Of touching a
responsive chord in popular assem-
blies.
Some years ago, when lie was quite
a young man, be was one OF q party
of gentlemen, who were caDvass'ng
his native Parish, St. Helena. There
was an immense gathering OF his
neighbors and acquaintanccs, most
of whom were strong Methodists.-
He. was the last one Of the speakers
who addressed the assemblage, and
his audience who bad been held spell
bound by his magic eloquence and
wonderful powers as an orator, were
more than captivated, and complete.
" entranced; the enthusiasm was
still at its highest, when assuming
an air of much gravity and sincerity,
and in measured and solemn tones,
he announced that he would conclude
the exercises by singing a hymn
proceeding at once to repeat each
stanza, as is the custom, and leading
of by raising the tune himself, the
immense throng joining in With q
pusto. The effect we shall not at
tempt to describe; many shed tears
and new converts Rugged and kissed
, their bitterest political enemies, and
some went so far as to say that the
: Millennium was at hand.
To this day, it is said Brother FL
lis has no equal as an exhorter, and
+, when at home among his friends
goes regularly to class meetings
His friends assert that he has a pref
udice for bells, and contends thai
!, nothing is SO appropriate to call
Methodist congregation together al
the old fashioned horn.
