"OId ST., as a Preacher.

Sam Small, known as "Old ST." of
the Atlanta Constitution, has gone
to preaching. The Birmingham Age
has the following to say in reference
to his new departure, which began
at Atlanta, Ga. on the 18th inst:
Sam w. Small, an old and well
known journalist and humorist, had
several thousand circulars issued to-
day announcing that he would
preach at the corner of Marietta and
Peachtree streets tonight. People
were puzzled to know the meaning
and at half pasr seven fully 1000
men, women and chilnren garhered
there. Mr.. Small with his three
bright happy little children were
seated on a large platform. He
arose and announced that he had
had hard tustle with the devil and
whipped him, and hereafter would be
on the Lords side. For more than
an hour he held the crowd SPELL
bound with his wonderful eloquence
and gospel truths. He is beyond
question one of Georgi4's brainest
men.
He announced his determination
to keep up the good work. Should
Sam Small remain where he now is,
Sam Jones will have to take a rear
seat.

The way the Arabs catch sharks is
very curious and interesting, and is
somewhat similar to playing a heavy
salmon, only no rod is used. A hook
of soft iron wire is made very sharp.
and baited with a lump of garbage of
some kind, usually a piece of shark
too rancid even for slave, and the
line, which is small and very slackIy
spun, is wound round for some little
distance from the hook with thin sheet
lead, both to protect it from the teeth
of the fish and to act as sinker, and
the other end is made fast to a huge
calabash which acts as a float. When
shark takes the bait he tows the cal
abash about, but can not sink it for
any length of time, and the fisherman
set of after him in their canoe, and
when they get hold of the line they
play their captive until he is actually
drowned. The shark that was now on
the hook was proving tartar, and be-
fore the two boats came near the
canoe which was playing with him was
capsized, and the half dozen men who
formed her crew thrown into the water.
'Gi7e way, my lads!'' said the lieu
tenant, and both boats dashed away,
the crews straining every nerve to
save the swimmers from their danger
GUS position, the water literally swarm
ing with sharks, aud in a few minutes
the men were picked up and their
canoe righted. The Englishmen, like
all their nation, fond Of sport, next
went after the float, which could be
seen being towed hithcr and thither as
the shark tried to free itself from the
ineumbranee, but the Arabs, when they
saw their intention, shouted and ges-
ticulated to prevent them from doing
so, and second canoe put off from
the dhow to assist in playing the
shark. With some little trouble the
line was again secured, and after about
two hours hard work, during which
johnny Shark several times nearly
mastered his captors, he was ut length
killed and dragged upon the rocks,
where the English, rs he was such
huge monster, had the curiosity to
measure him, when he proved to be
the enormous length of thirty-three
feet ten inches. This was the largest
shark they had ever seen, though both
boats had had oars dashed at by the
rayenous brutes, and on one occasion
tho same whaIer, whom boarding
dhow at night from the ship, had her
rudder carried away by one. y Gentle

Woman As a ReROrmer.
BY REV. W. c. BLACK.
From New Orleans Christian Advocate.

From New orleans Christian AdVOeate'
Having already sent you copies
of The Tribune, containing report
Of the proceedings of the State Con-
vention of the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union, [ will now
occupy your space with a detailed
report of the Conventions doings,
| wish, hOwerer, to make a few re-
marks concerning the convention
and the work OF the Woman's Chris
tian Temperance Union. In the
first place the convention was larger
than I had supposed it would be,
as only few months have elapsed
since the Woman's Christian Tenn
perance Union took root IN Mis-
sissippi. Thirty-odd delegates were
present from ninteen local unions,
and a number of other unions sent
up written reports. The places that
sent were Brookhaven, Port Gibson,
Natchez, Yazoo City, Marion, Clin-
ton, Fayette, Edwards and Aber-
deem. The personnel OF the con-
vention was very fine indeed. They
were an intelligent, cultured, refined
body of Christian women. Several
things were noticeable in the pro-
ceedings. In the first place every
union that was represented by del
egats was represented in o. written
report. / could not help thinking
that if it had been a convention of
men several members would have
made an oral report, prefaced by
some fiimsy excuse for not writing.
The reports were in the main we'll
written and carefully prepared as to
subject matter, presenting details
as to work done, difficulties encoun-
tered, etc. In most cases the written
report was supplemented by interest
ing impromptu remarks. In the
consideration of the various ques-
tions that came before the conven-
tion there was absolutely none of that
WranglIng and bad temper and bad
breeding that so frequently charac-
terize the proceedings of conven-
ton composed Of ''the lords Of crea-
tion." Not one unkind word or Ill
natured remark marred the harmony
of the occasion. 1t was pre-emi-
nently a religious conversation, a
spirit of deep-toned piety was mani
fest throughout. The proceedings
were interspersed with devotional
exercises. Reports alternated with
prayer. Resolutions were sandwich
ed with the songs of Zion. And
such singing! The songs were not
a mere prefunctory performance for
human ears. They came from the
heart, and as they fell in majestic
sweetness upon the ears of lockers
on they told of faith in God, of
haven-born love for the souls of men
and of a zeal that is willing to do
and to dare in the cause of the
right. This convention has been a
priceless blessing to this city. 1t
has not only strengthened the tenn
perance cause and added largely to
the number of our Woman's Chris

"We VIII Ever Pray, Etc." "

The above title we quote as the
closing clause in the petition OF Mr..
John G. Housmann, which appears
IN the Herald of the 10th inst.
There are many men whose names
appear uroL this petition who, we
suppose, never offer any prayers to
God, at least they do not so ayow IN
any way, but we are surprised to
find the names of others from whom
we had a right to expect better
things-men whose names stand
prominent on the rolls Of the church
of God, men who make profession Of
faith in Christ and Of Cody lives,
men beyond reproIh in their church
relation. Do these men stop to
think that they are praying for the
continuance of a business which IS
the greatest enemy the church of
God has to fight in this day-insti-
tutions which injurc the church and
destroy the young men of our coun-
try? Do these brethren OF the
churches stop to think that they are
praying for things against which our
Heavenly Father has spoken words
of bitter denunciation ?
In the Book of Habukkuk, 2nd
chapter and 18th verse, you will find
these burning denunciations of the
man who sells the whisky, no mat
ter how worthy men may consider
him: "Woe unto him that giyeth
his nelghbor drink, that puttest thy
bottle to him and makest him drunk
en- also, that thou mayest look upon
their wickedness." In the Epistle
to the Galatians, 5th chapter, we find
adultery, idolatry, murder and
drunkenness all classed together
"and they which do such things shall
not inherit the kingdom of God"
My friends of the church of God,
can you with consciences void of
offence toward God and man pray
for the licensing of this monster
evil in your community. Certainly
such yrayers are not consistent with
and contradict the Lords Prayer
which is SO largely used in the
churches.
Again we find on this petition the
names of gentlemen who refused to
sign :he petitions of the ladies of the
w. G. I. i. upon the ground that
they received the custom of the
whisky men. Now we suppose if all
lovers of Temperance and the ladies
of the W. C. 7. U. should refuse
their patronage to these parties,
there would 60 up a long, loud wall
OF persecution and cry for the recog-
milton of personal liberty.
Again we would remind these gen.
tlemen that they owe some consid-
Grafton to the temperance loving ell
ement who deal with them, and that,
having signed the whisky petition,
they should be consistent Con the
plea Of patronage and give their
names to those of the opposition.
Will they do so? We wait to see.
We pray! we pray!! we prayl!
Oh! what prayer. A prayer for
the desolatlon Of homes; tor the
impoverishlng of families; for the
the commital of crime for the
breaking of hearts OF wives and |
mothers; for the ruins of sons and
a prayer for the licensing
Of satan's strongest weapons in
the destruction of souls. Gentle
men who sign petitions for free
whisky should stop and consider the |
results of their prayers.-Temper-
