SAM SMALL AND The PREACH.
EKS.
The Literary Sermon IL Simply a Play
thing of Religion.
From the Chicago News.


From the Chicago Es0s.
Mr.. Sam Small spoke to a large audi
ence in the Chicago Avenue church last
evening. After referring to the CONVEX
sion of st. Paul and to the character of
the apostles teachings, he said that he
would not on his life institute any COM
parIsOn, yet he felt that there was a one
ness between st. Pau's gospel and that
which he was trying to teach. For long
time in his past lie when be was most
reckless on the subject Of religion,
when he scOfied at IL aud
was careless as 10 his own destiny,
he felt that mysterious influences were at
work within him. lie bought hundreds
and thousands OF dollars worth Of books
Tor his library. They were mostly books
Of an eXpOnential character, including
many commentaries on the Bible. These
he studied diligently, searching TO find
out where preachers had made fools Of
themselves. Now he found that all the
gospel that he needed was crYstslized in
the holy scriptures. No one needed to
90 beyond them TO lind out what was the
true gospel OF God ia regard TO man
and bis destinies. He continued:
Here in Chicago they tell us that the
people don't want this old-time, first CEN
fury gospel. You had rather talk about

the subject OF Chrisps teachings. Woo
cares what Mr.. Macaulay wrote about
them? He's dead and gone 70 his long
account, but be said one thing tharll
stand 'till the last trump is blown, aud
that 10 That the theology o. Jesus Christ
IL as immutable as Jesus Christ Himself,
and that II will live as long as lie does.
Mr.. ingersoll breaches a pleasing doc

follow ity Because they know that the
doctrine Of Jesus Christ Is enduring, and
they fear to lay impiOus hands on IL.

wILITHEREBB A REVOLUTION?
Charles II. Cramp, Who Could Make
Cruisers for Honduras, VIII Not Say.
From the Nego York Star


Cruisers for Honduras, VIII Not say.
From the Ne1o York Star.
On Saturday morning Charles II .Cramp,
the well-known ship-builder of Philadel-
phia, arrived here. Although Mr.. Cramp
customarily stops at the Fifth Avenue
Hotel. he drove direct TO the st. james.
Half an hour later Mr.. Cramp left the no.
tel, and was not seen the remainder OF
the day.
1t was rumored that his business in the
city was to arrange with the revolution
airy leaders here for the purchase OF 20
Gatling guns and other munitions Of war,
to be used in Honduras. 1t is said, more
over, that two steel-elad cruisers are 10
be built or purchased. aud that some part
Of $4,000, 900 possessed by Marco Aurelio
Soto, ex-President OF Honduras. will meet
the cost of manning and squipping at least
one OF them.
President Soto would say little on the
subject. He admitted that he was in cor
respondence with the H0nduran exiles in
Nicaragua, and allowed thatthe time was
ripe for revolution. "President BOgran
has driven all our best citizens out Of the
country" be said. ''NOw, would IL be
strange if they In their turn drove him

A gentleman who formerly resided in
Guatemala gave the reporter an insight
into the inner workings OF the two prOba-
BILE organizations. It appears that one OF
them is composed Of Hondurans, follow
ers Of Soto, who left their country when
Bogran assembled the Presidential char.
The central headquarters OF this OrganIza-
ton is in New York, but its branches
stretch all over North and South America,
and there are Off.bOots Of the parent stem
in London, Manchester, Birmingham and
Paris. An active correspondence is main
tanned between all these branch agencies.
About the other organization nothing
definite IS known.

A stonecutter, whose office adjoined his
stone yard, was seated in his office when a
friend called upon him, and they discussed
several topics together, among them the ques-
ton as to what extent lager beer was an in
toxicant. The stonecutter maintained that
beer was not very intoxicating, while his
friend maintained the opposite. The stone
cutter said: There is a man at work in the
yard pointing to brawny chested German
who could drink a bucket three galons) "of
beer at one sitting and feel none the worse for
1t. The friend doubted, and a wager was
made and the workman called, who, when
asked if he could drink that bucket tpointing

way, and after remaining about fifteen
minutes, returned and said: "Yes, | can

procured and placed before the German, who
very soon absorbed the last drop, and arose
oln his seat, wiping his mouth with
IS sleeve, and was walking away with
4 firm sten, when his employer recalled

for an Englishman that he now is fully
convinced that he is one He certainly
possesses the voice and mannerisms of a
well-bred London man. His drawing
speech is about the same expression of
voice that you will hear in the courtyard
OF the palace of st. James when the officer
of the Coldstreams is relieving guard.
Among the volunteers to Zululand were
many English guardsmen. Two of these
spoilt darlings of English society were
leading body of Capetown militia against
an overwhelming swarm of blacks, and
the air was thick with spears. Charley
Frazier, lieutenant of Scots guards,
noted for his slowness of speech and his
variety of methods in concocting summer
punches, was transfiXed by a Zulu javelin

The South During the War.

1t will be surmised that the south was
almost stripped of the luxuries of life to-
ward the close of the struggle. This is a
mistake. Adventures were all the time
running the blockade. There was nothing
that our society ladies could not buy il
they were willing to pay the price. We
had no dudes in those days, but young
men who wanted stylish rig had no
trouble in getting it. No doubt many of
the articles struggled through came from
Yankeedom instead of from England and
France, Some of the wide-awake brethren
on the other side of the line operated a
double schedule. They took federal con-
tracts, and on the sly supplied the Confed-
crates for heavy cash consideration. We
even had the time and Inclination to snug
gle books through the lines. Les Miser-
ables, for instance, came through and
Vice President Stephens and other leading
men read the New York or Philadelphia

blockade, it goes without saying that any
thing could.-Atlanta Const tuition.
