SententiOuS Preaching.

Here are some of the sententious
sayings of Rev. Samuel Jones, an I'M
educated Georgian who is conducting
an extraordinary revival at Nashville,
Tenn: "What is culture worth if it's
nothin' but whitewash on a rascal?
I'd rather be in Heaven learnin' my A
B O's than in hell reading Greek"
"Some preachers are 50 elegant that
they speak of hell as the burnt dis
trict, but this sort of dignity is the
starch of a shroud." "Heaven is on
dead level with every good man, and
every good man will be provided for in
some way" "Will honest men starve?
God will feed an honest man if he has
to put the angels on half rations."
"Be honest and pay your debts.
There's too many men in the church
boarding with their wives" "Pull up
your doubts by the roots and youth
find seed at the bottom, and that
seed is SIM "A lie is always on the
down grade, but the truth you haveto
hitch an engine t9:'

Jaw Gould in Cuba.

From New York Letter. .
The climax of the weeks talk in Wall
street recently was that Jay Gou d.
Yachting expedition, from which he has
just returned, was chiefly for the cap
ture of Cuba.
"What is your opinion of Cuba?"
"A most beautiful and curious island. :"
GAS to its prospective value CONNER
cially ?"
"The opportunity for immense devel-
opment is there. sailed almost COM
pletely round Cuba. and made incur
sions from a number of points-in spite
of the fact that had neglected to pro.
vide myself with passport, before
starting from New York, as the law of
the island requires. Most of these trips
were from Havana, and there the officials
were kind enough to be little lax; but,
on landing at Cape Cruz, where look
out is kept, I believe for raids by Cuban
patriots, was all but arrested and sent
prisoner to Havana.
"W1ll you give an idea of the impress
sion that Cuba made on you as to her
worthiness for commercial enterprise
by Americans?"
"Why yes. The island has the climate
and soil for enormous productiveness in
ways which are impossible to any por-,
ton of the United States. Only the
rim of Cuba has been touched practically
by the disadvantaged and not very
enterprising planters. Inland lies q
region, hundred miles long by thirty
or so broad, that can't be beaten on the
face Of the earth for fertility, and it is q
wilderness. There is a miserable rail-
road running-it would be more cor
rect to say walking-in the direction of
this section but without reaching it..
This line extends from Havana to
Matanzas, on the coast, and thence
southeastward, altogether less than a
hundred miles, striking railroad that
crosses the inland in straight line
from Sagua on the north coast shore to
Cienfuegos on the south. That is all
there is of railroading in Cuba. The
constituting steamers are really the
only common means of transportation.
What the country wants is railroad
from one end of the island to the other
to carry the produce to the markets."
"And did you do anything toward
/ building one, Mr.. Gould?"
"Il] tell you what did do. I saw
some of the old plantations where the
slave scenes were like those of our
Southern States 80 years ago; I went
to circus in the open air, feature
which was sort of a bull-fght; saw
the oldest fish in the waters that the
Atlanta sailed, including naturally red
Holsters, which supported the ancient
italian painter who was ridiculed for
painting his live Holsters red and I
drank quarts of the popular native bev-
erage."
"Alcoholic?"
"Not bit of it. They call it aqua
de COCO, and it is the iced fluid from
cocanuts. They saw q green nut in two,
ice the water found inside, and sell 1t to
you for OF cents The drink is pala-
table, refreshing and certainly harm
less." =: -

Sir Henry To1nb'ss Cancer.

Epithelial cancer IS responsible for
having caused one distinguished gener-
al before General Grant to take his
march through the dark valley. This
was Sir Henry Tombs, of the British
Royal Horse Artillery, who died about
six years ago. When plain Captain
Tombs, that officer commanded a bat
terry which was so terribly assaulted
during the sortie by the mutineers be-
sieged in Delhi in 1857 that it was al
most wiped out Its surviving officers.
Tombs and his lieutenants, Roberts and
Hills, showed such bravery as earned
them all the Victoria Gross. Roberts
is now Sir Frederick Roberts, who
gained such renown in the last and is
now designated for command in the
coming Afghan campaign. Hills is
no Sir Henry Hills, at present a ma
jor-general commanding division in
India.
Sir Henry's cancer showed itself in
just the same way that General Grants
affection has. He obtained leave from
his Indian command directly the mill
tary medical men who attended him
were satisfied that the growth was CAN
cerous, and after consultation with the
best surgeons in Paris and London, de-
cided on undergoing the one operation
which gave him chance Of life. He
took second and ante-mortem honey
moon of one month with his wife in the
Isle of Wight, and then went up to
London to face what was believed to be
certain death by the knife. He was q
man of rare physique, and his strength
was apparently by no m cans affected by
the disease. The surgeons removed
his lower jaw entirely, and declared af-
ter the operation that this had allowed
them to altogether extirpate the malig-
nant growth. This, however, proved
not to be the case, as the cancer soon
manifested itself and KILLED the general
after few weeks suffering.

The arrest of Maxwell, charged With

The arrest of Maxwell, charged With
the murder of Preller at St. Louis, 9
crime which was unearthed short time
ago, is an incident most suggestive of the
great improvements made in commune
cation between the. different parts Of the
world within the last quarter Of 4 cen:
fury. Before the crime was discovered
Maxwell had put two-thirds Of the con-
tinent and q long stretch of the Pacific
between linn and St. Louis, but nc
sooner was the body discovered than the
wires traced him from Boston to the
Western city in company with his VIC
cisco, and forewarned the officers of the
law in distant New Zealand to detain
him. How changed from the time when

ture Of a phenomenal New York muir

Where the Scorpion Gets His
Poison.

Poison.
When he strikes you with the end of
his tail, like a wasp, he exudes a ven
omous liquid, and man might better
hold red-hot iron in his hand than
to get a tenth part of q drop of this
liquid into his blood. It is not neces-
sarily fatal, particularly in the Bahia
mas; but it condenses the heat offorty
furnaces. In some parts OF South
America scorpion bites are frequently
fatal, but I have not heard of any one
having been killed by them in Nassau.
This is easily accounted for. The
scorpion likes to feed on decayed wood.
In South America, where dye-woods
and other poisonous woods abound,
the scorpion feeds upon them, and
thus work into themselves good sup
ply of outside poison, which, taken to-
gether with his naturally poisonous
liquid, does it's work for whoever is
unfortunate enough to bestung. But,
in Nassau, such poisonous woods are
few, and the scorpions have to fatten
themselves respectfully on pine, cedar
and mahogany.-From a Nassau Let
ter.
