OF the now famous Southern preacher
the Cincinnati Commercial. Gazette speaks
as follows: Where lies the power that
enabled this man to preach twice q day
every day in the week and draw to every
one Of his meetings crowds too large for
even Music Hall, and to hold them from
the beginning to the end Of his discourses2
Furthermore, people not only listen to
Jones, but they read his sermons We
found the most eminent statesmen in
Washington reading his sermons from day
to day and talking about them. They are
discussed in parlors, at the dinner tables,
and even in barrooms. People never tire
OF reading them. He does not repeat
himself, and this is extraordinary. He can
preach new sermon from the same text
several times. And he does not wear out,
nor does he ever weary an audience.
To the most critical people Sam Jones
is puzzle; but the fact remains that he
is great power He is not ranter. He
is not humbug. He does not preach
Sam Jones. He keeps himself in the back
ground. He places in the forefront the
great truths that fill his mind and control
bis life He believes what he says and is
full OF his subjects. The head OF most men
would be turned by the tremendous
crowds that hang upon his utterances; but
instead OF his being elated he seems to be
humilisted. He spends no time on tech
nicalities or disputed doctrinal questions
and evidently the Sermon on the Mount
and the ten Commandments are his model
That he does good no one can successfully
dispute. II people would do as Sam
Jones advises there would be no need for
criminal courts, and society would be
elevated and there would be happiness and
contentment in all grades Of life. OF tech.
nical theology he probably knows little,
but Of the troubles that afiict mankind be
knows much, and these be knows largely
from experience, and when be comes to
talk about these be calls things by their
right names. He talks 10 the people in
the language they understand.

The Alabama In" Action.

From an account Of 'l.iie on the Ala
bams, by one Of her sailors, in the April
Century, We quote the following; I'VE got
everything ship-shapc, and left Cherbourg
for our last cruise on bright Sunday
morning. June 10TH We we're escorted
by French armed vessel, and when We
got outside we could sec the Kearsarge
awaiting us, about four miles away. Cap
tain Semmes made us short speech which
was we'll received, though it seemed odd
to me that an American should appeal to
an Englishman's love OF glory to animate
him to fight the speakers own country
men. But we cheered, and the French
ship leaving us, we steamed straight for
the Kearsarge. There is no doubt that
Semmes was furried and commenced fir
ing too soon. We were, ! should say,
nearly mile away, and do not think
single shot told. The enemy circled
around us and did not return our fire till
within seven or eight hundred yards and
then she let us have IL. The first shot that
struck us made the ship reel and shake
all over ! was serving on one OF the
thirty.two Founders, and my sponger was
an old man.o-war's man, who remarked,
after look out of the port, We might as
we'll 6re batter puddens as those pop
guns; few more bifis like that last and
we may turn turtle. He had scarcely
spoken when shell burst under our pivot
gun, fitting it out Of range and killing five
Of the crew. With slow precision came
the crash OF the heavy shell OF the Yankee.
One missile that seemed as big as hay
stack whizzed over our heads, taking a
section OF the port bulwarks away, fortu-
nately missing man that was handling
shot. He only remarked that he believed
the Yankee was firing steam b'ilers' at US.
Another shell struck us amidships, caus-
ing the ship to list to port so that our gun
weighing three tons raced in, pinniDg
ono poor fellow against the port sill. He
died before we could get him clear. This
was the missile that sunk the Alabama.
She's going downl was tho cry and all vast
confusion. Another shell struck us about
the water-line, the vessel reeled like q
drunken man and all was lost.

clerk continued:

Then the writer 1t once settled down
into comfortable position. aud the clerk
related to him the history Of . female
sneak thief who was captured in the ho-

plainly dresssd little woman came into the
Office and said very modestly:
! am collecting agent for the Charity

box.
She was 9 motherly. kind-faced woman
and ! called the porter at one. He point
ed it ont and she opened it up and took
ont its contents. As she passed the desk
she graciously thanked me for my kind

she went out. About every other day
she came in and always greeted me 10 her
usually pleasant way before opening the
box. Often guest standing at the coun-

always reply that she was benevolent

There is nothing new in that, said the
reporter.
The newness came when the real col

day and opened the box. He was simply
dazed and gasped:
Why, what is the matter?
I answered that be was rather late, be-
cause the female collector had been here
An hour before.
What female collector? demanded he.
Why. that one that collects for your So

We have no female collector, returned
the gentleman. She Is fraud!
