Sample of Sam Jones Preaching.

Revs. Sam. Jones and Sam. Smalls (Old
Sly, the Southern revivalists, are holding forth
in Baltimore, and their meetings are crowded.
The following is an extract of the opening
Sermon(?) of Rev.(?) Sam. Jones on Sunday
last:
There is a good deal in looking at your
feet. | have been as careful about my feet
as have been about my heart. Don't go to
bathrooms; don't go to bar-rooms. Look out
for the byways OF sin. Look out for your
feet. Recently sixteen persons Joined church
with ceremony as solemn as eternity. The
next night twelve out of the sixteen were at
dancing party. If l joined church and
thought it right to dance, would commence
on the same night, aud get through with it.
Laughter. | would want to get through
with it. Our church don't forbid dancing"
exclaims one. Which is your church? All
the grand churches of the land are outspoken
against it. If my church sanctioned dancing
would not stay in the rotten little thing long
enough to get my hat. | would run out bare
headed. Laughter. Don't let yonr feet
take you to progressive euchre party. The
same grand jury that indcts the blackleg
gambler and not the participants of a progress
sive eUchre paGy is foresworn. Loud APP
plause But "a leading church member will
say 1T is scientific game; yes, and you
are SClChtiht 10
spade a spade, and you say you like that kind
Of talk. People that play progressive euchre
would not stay in Heaven six months. They
would be gambling for each others crowns.
Laughter. Nine gamblers out of ten come
from so-called Christian homes. Generally
they are nice clever gentlemen. Don't allow
your boys to learn gambling at home, and
then VOC, in hypocritical old age, go
round bewailing their fate. woman in
Chicago told me that her husband worked
hard all day, and she played cards with him
every night to amuse him. told her to ship
him to an asylum, for there they play cards
for amusement. Laughter. A game of
cards is the game of starvlings, mentally and
spiritually. Sisters, you who have such hus
bands, tell you what to do. Buy him tin
horse and a tin horn. Laughter. Make
him straddle the tin horse aud go all over the
house and blow the horn for him. Laughter.
Sister, don't let the children laugh at him.
Loud laughter Tell the children that their
little papa has worked hard all day and wants
to be amused. [Laughter.] Sister. sister,
get him a tin horse.

The Ovation to Mr.. Dav.

From the Baltimore Sun Of Monday.
At Montgomery and on his way to Atlanta
Mr.. Jefferson Davis received such an ovation
as testified how strongly the Southern heart
goes out to him in his old age, and how pro,
foundry the people have sympaihized with
him in the troubles and trials of his later years
as the most conspicuous representative of the
lost cause. General Lee was more univer-
sally loved, but the feeling for Jefferson Davis
carries with it a reverential respect. He was
at the head of the shortlived Confederacy.
He was everywhere concerned in the bloody
struggle through which it was destined to
pass. He witnessed its first victory on the
field If Manassas, and was almost within
hearing of It's browning defeat at Petersburg.
Through all those sad heroic years he was
steadfast to his trust. His state papers are
still among the ablest ever written by an
American. In all the trials of the time he
bore himself manfully. When the war closed
and he was released from Fortress Monroe,
he retired to his home broken in fortune,
shattered in health, but unbending in the
opinion of the righteousness of the struggle
throughwhich the Southern people had passed.
What he was then he is now. He has seen
the States that seeded rehabilitated and their
leading statesmen ard soldiers representing
them in the Congress of the Union. He
stands alone, the only living man OF all others,
unchanged in his isolation. That the States
have gone back into the Union be regards as
the natural course to pursue, and as members
of the Union, he advises acquiescence in the
restoration and strict observance of their
constitutional obligations For himself, he is
a man of the past, but past which is full of
glory. As the foremost Southern representa-
tive now living, and as the last conspicuous
relic of cause once dear to the Southern
heart, and still mourned by many now loyal
to the Union for the associations it recalls,
Jefferson Davis is honored by his people, who
by this ovation to him seek to shed a lustre
on his declining years. Let those who sneer
at his consistency look upon the constitution
which he dared to uphold, and the travestie
of free government which for years prevailed
at Washington after his cause was lost, and
compare the political condition of the country
before the civil war with, what it afterwards
became under the craftsmanship of fanatics
and demaoopues.

The licensing of restaurants and breweries
by the corporation of Hagerstown, in compli-
ance with the amendments to the city charter
passed at the recent session of the State Leg
islature, has created quite furry there among
those interested, and has resulted in the clos
ing up of quite number of small saloons and
GROCERIES. The measure went into effect
Saturday. and during the day some SIX or
eight saloons in the fifth ward alone closed
their doors, the proprietors refusing or being
unable to take out the necessary license. The
license imposed by the city on saloons is $50
per annum, which added to the United states
and State license virtually makes thigh IL

his house, when a portion of the harness broke
and the horse started to run away. Mr.. Raabe
sprang from the wagon, but fell on the street,
causing conclusion of the brain. He was
taken to his home, where he died at six
o'clock in the afternoon. He was born in
Germany, but had been in this country nearly
forty years.
David Owings, farmer, died at his home,

Record of the Carroll Democracy.

Some of the state papers have noted that
Carroll county is well supplied with official
positions, having at present the Attorney
General, Congressman, Deputy Collector,
State Cattle Weigher, and now the Postmas-
ter at Baltimore. 1t is true that Carroll has
these positions but we do not think that she
is holding bevond her desert. With the ex-
ception of Howard county, the Democracy OF
Carroll have been more steadfast to the party
and its principles than that of any other coun-
~ in the state, and more steadfast than the
Democracy of Baltimore city. With but
margin of from two to three hundred majority,
in n vote of over seven thousand, the party
has lost but four candidates in nineteen years
since the Democracy gained control OF the
comfy and state in 1S67-and then under pc
culiar circumstances. Not only has the De-
mocracv of Carroll not lost any of its candi-
dates. but four in that time, but the general
majority has been increased considerably.
In looking at the record of other counties,
we find that most of the heavy Democratic
ones have wavered. Cecil, that used to give
n, much as 500 Democratic majority, has
number of times elected Republicans to Office,
while the general majority has run down to
400. II rford, with an average majority of
about 600, has once chosen a Republican
State Senator, and the Democratic majority
has sometimes almost been wiped out Bal
timore county, with Democratic majority
from 1900 to 1900, has once elected whole
Republican county ticket, and on other occa-
sons given but very meagre majorities. In
1882, with her 'favorite son." Hon. j. Fred.
C. Talbot in the field for Congress, she gave
him but S23 majority. This was falling off
of more than 1000, while Carroll, where Mr..
Talbot has never been favorite, gave him
within 50 votes of the usual majority. Kent
county, Montgomery, Anne Arundel, and
nearly all the Democratic counties have wav-
cred in their fidelity to the party, and elected
Republicans to the Legislature, as well as to
local Offices.
Carroll has never failed to send Democrats
to the Legislature, and has stood up for the
ticket and the principles of the party with a
fidelity that has not been equalled by the De-
mocracy of any other county, except Howard,
and she is entitled to all the places of honor
and emolument she has, and more.

From the Maryland Farmer for Nay.
We have been very much interested in the
sketches in the Westminster DEMOCRATIC AD-
yocATE of the Farms of Carroll" The vri-
ter makes his subjects both entertaining and
useful. He goes back to their early settle
ment and intersperses his accounts with
pleasant recolleciions, and deduces from ex-
listing facts important lessons for his farmer
friends. BY the way the ADVOCATE in all its
departments shows enterprise and talent.
