PRAISE THE LORD. &"

CINcISSATI ONO, Oct. 18th, 1882.
Dear Interior;
/ write hurriedly, which will rejoice
your typos, who have my letter to set mp
late Thursday evening. Pressure Of du.
ties prevented me from writing sooner.
The total Of confessions up to this We'd
nesday afternoon, amounts TO ll2 for soul,
and $50 anointed. for healing. At the at
ternoon meeting-, which are for Christians
chiefly, 1877 have come forward for specific
blessings.
The attendance is excellent-Melodeon
Hall being well filled every night, and the
afternoon service gathering a room more
than half full Of earnest christian people.
The daily papers treat us very kindly, and
the reports OF the services in the CONNER
cial are admirably correct and apprecia-
tive. That enterprising sheet enjoys the
advantage Of having for its reporter Of re-
ligious matters, a lady Of rare judgment
and talent in her department. No one but
a christian can report sermon that sets
forth pure gospel, unless by stenography,
which Of course, is a mere matter Of man
ual skill.
An interesting meeting at the "Home VI
the FIiendless," where a refuge is provid-
ed for poor, ruined girls, who wish to be
saved, resulted in the conversion Of s out
of the IL in attendance. Two Of the three
who did not confess were Catholics, and
the third had already confessed Jesus as
Savior. So it was "clean sweep"-Praise
the LORD.

house last Sunday, but the Directors
would not give me a clear field to take con-
fessions Of my audience and | would not
go without. 1t strikes me that cred tape"
can 90 no further than this, when even
these sweepings Of society are refused the
opportunity Of confessing Jesus, even
when they want to. pray this sin may
not be laid to their charge.
We see shoals of Kentucky friends every
day. How much We enjoy il, my pen re.
fuses TO tell. We feel that it lie a final
meeting with most until the great family
gathering takes place. Ever in Jesus.

The Great Comedian.

John Thompson, the Irish-Duich-Itali-
an-French- Chinese. English. Hebrew-Amer-
lean Comedian, gave one Of his inimitable,
ludicrous nevsr-to-be. forgotten performan-
ces of Around the World" at the Royal
Opera House last evening. The house was
rammed, jammed, stuffed and packed like
sardnes in a box, and he deserved il. His
songs took immensely, the airs being all new
and catchy" In his dancing he was easy,
greasy, loose as a rag and slippery a. an
eel. His dancing the Highland-Aing, a.
the Irish-woman said, would make Wheel
barrow laugh. He played on a number OF
musical instruments, and in doing 50 his
legs and arms seemed TO be hung on some
new patent double back-action springs;
they were here, there and everywhere al
the same time. Sometimes the laughter
and shouts were deafening. He was ably
supported by Miss Dotie Nagle and Miss
Mollie Thompson in their songs, duets and
piano accompaniments. John Thompson

newspapers have been written this

any impecunious fellow thinks he can
run a newspaper and goes into debt
to start on, imagining that patronage
will necessarily follow. 1t does not
however; bis debts accumulate and af-

the action of the Convention here in

at conventions. Any action by the
few which abridges the free expression
Of the many, is departure from dem.
ocratic principle. Let him win his
spurs on the field Of battle" The
recommendation given Judge Owsley
was simply TO show 10 the people Of
the other portions of the State, how
highly he was regarded athome. His
life has been spent among us and his
duties have not required an acquaint-
ance outside of his district. The 9TH

reputation, the one by reason Of his

Initials.

l
The custom is so common of using the
initials of name only, instead of the
full application, that when a name is
given to child it is matter of i'm
portance to consider what the initial
letters will be. A gentlemen named
Sprague proposed to call his first boy
Arthur Spencer. Fortunately, before
the child was baptized, it was discover
! ed that with these names the initials
would form the word A. S. s. A young
lady was not 30 fortunate. Her initials
before she was married spelled the
word A. P. E. She became Mrs. Thomp-
son, so that her initials were changed to
A. P. T., which she regared as an apt
change.
Another father, one Mr.. Long, named
his son Alfred Washington. The boys
initials thus made A. W. L., and 80
who could tell but he would grow up to
be great bore?
A man named Wood married lady
named Orton, who wished her two sons
to take her maiden appellation. They
were, therefore, called respectively,
Benjamin Orton Wood, and William
Orton Wood, and together the initials
expressed a B. Q. W. w. o. W.
Everybody has heard of the famous
firm in Birmingham, England, which
was said to consist OF Isaac Cachem

1t was printed on their sign, "I

by as 81 catch 'em and you cheat EN-"
though the firm is said TO be as honest
as lawyers usually are.
