Sam Small in Cincinnati.


Gin. Times-Star: Sam Small took
no text this morning. He said to
the audience of 5000 or more that
he wanted to talk. about the Holy
Spirit.
81 tell you one thing I believe"
he began, "the Holy Spirit was
with me at Music Hall last night.
1t helped me and sustained me, and
gave me every word that passed my
lips. Just before / started for Mu-
sic Hall there came a letter to me
from my wife, who has been sick
down in her Atlanta home, and /
have been uneasy about her and so
anxious to know how she was. Her
letter came to me as a blessing di-
rect from God, and it cheered me
and strengthened me more than
anything else could have done. 1t
was SO full OF hope, and love, and
trust that it's sweet words fell into
my heart and frightened every
thing about me.
81 want to read you some of this
letter." said Mr.. Small, producing
the epistle from his pocket. "'I
am 30 glad says my wife, that you
find preaching fills your life SO COM
pletely. How I have prayed for
this! The struggle was long and
hard, but oh, the glorious change !
How it has beautified your life and
my life and the lives of our dear
little ones.'"
Mr.. Small was almost completely
overcome in reading the letter
aloud and the tears fell fast upon
his glasses.
People rose in all parts of the
house as Mr.. Small concluded his
remarks and cheering expressions
of testimony came from all sides.
Sam Small is a far more polished
orator than Sam Jones. This fact
every one will admit who has heard
each of the two men. Mr.. Small
is truly southern in the overpower-
ing eloquence of his speech and the
peculiar fire and force of his genius.
He is more nervous than Sam
Jones, more excitable. Religion
seems to have aroused every spark
of his nature and when he speaks
those things he feels most strongly
he seems to be afire within, and his
hearers are certain to feel the
warmth. 1t glows upon them ire
sistibly and they cannot but yield
to its seductive influence.
Last night for the first time there
was unanimous and unrestrained
applause. When Sam Small deliv-
cred some of the most vivid and
brilliant passages, 5000 hands re-
sponded as with a common impulse.
The proprieties of the occasion |
were forgotten and the vast audi
eAce applauded. The clapping Of
hands was as general and deVout as
the amens.

al SONG of GratIfnde.

10 olden times, Bethesda's pool
Was famed for healing oil diseases;
Once plunged beneath its waters cool,
Each evil, stain and sickness ceases.
In modern days we find a cure,
Of worth as rare, as much deserving;
A remedy safe, quick and sure,
DR.. Richm6nd's SAMARITAN NRRVTNE.
For Epilepsy, Spasms, FeVers, Coles, Cramps,
Coughs, Colds, or any kind Of Phthysic;
Its merit as a leader stamps
1t far above all other physics.
It goes at once right to the spot
Where turks the danger, never swerving;
In all the world perhaps there's not
cure like DR.. Richmond's NERvnE.
As in the blood diseases lie;
Each artery, each vein, each curve in;
There's nothing makes i'll humor fly,
Like the SAMARITAN NERvIEE.
For old or young, for rich or poor,
Whatever class of life you serve in,
To health wide open is the door,
From the SAMARITAN NERvIEE.
Then. do you value strength and health,
And think these blessings worth preserving,
Better than all Golconda's wealth,
is DR. Richmond's SAMARITAN NERvNE,

Judge Brewster of the q. s. circuit
court delivered an opinion at Tope-
ka, Kansas, last week that amounts
to a new departure. John Walruf
about 1870 built a brewery that cost
him $4,000. Afterward, under
the prohibitory laws, he was enjoin-
ed from making beer, and as con.
sequence his property was reduced
to $4,000 in value. The judge
holds that under the 14th
amendment property cannot be
taken without due process of law
and that when the state confscated
the use of this property and there
by took away its value it is liable
for amount of decrease. If the su-
preme court shall ratify this re-
markable decision the principle will
doubtless be carried into all bust
ness plants affected by adverse leg
islation and the state that enforces
prohibition be made to foot all the
losses. Or, perhaps, the state be-
ing sovereign and not liable to &C.
ton, itself may be enjOined from
passing laws that abridge the use
and take away the value Of property
acquired ligimately.

Interesting to Gardeners.

A new radish has just been in
troduced to American gardeners
which, if possessed of the points
claimed for it, and we have no rea-
son to doubt it, every gardener in
the United States will want to try.
The introducers exercised their US
ual care before recommending 1t,
distributing small quantities OF
seed among the leading gardeners
of Rochester in the spring of 1884,
that they might be assured of its
retaining the good qualities exhib-
tied in the first experiment. The
Floral Guide says of this radish,
which is named Wick Early Scar
let Globe Radish," that the unani-
nous testimony of those who tried
it is that it is the earliest and best
variety for forcing, and in color,
also, the handsomest; mild in fla
Ver, crisp and juicy, able to stand
great amount of heat without be-
coming plthy, and will prove an
excellent radish for garden culture.
If our readers want to learn more of
this new radish we would advise
them to send 10 cents to Jas. Wick,
Scotsman, Rochester, n. Y, for a
copy of the valuable Floral Guide.
The amount may be deducted from
the first order. 1t is wonderful as
we'll as beautiful work, of over 100
pages Of instructive reading about
flowers and vegetables, with a
thousand illustr atoms.

are comfortable buildings for residence and
out houses on the lands. A full descrip-
ton can be had at my office or ct the Office of

carp IN cleveland Leader.
There are a number of ambitious
men in this house of representatives,
and not few who have the presi-
dental bee in their bonnets. The
speaker of the house is the favorite
son of the south, and VIM. R. Nor
rison has aspired to the white house
for years. John d. Long of Massa-
chusetts, with his big, brainy head,
his wonderful diplomacy, is another
possibility, and Thomas B. Reed,
the giant from Maine, may be more
successful than James @. Blame.
Still present prominence is little in
dication of presidential possibility.
Look at the men talked of for pres
ident SIX years ago. Consider the
accidents of presidential nomina-
tions. Wonder at the sudden ele-
vations Of Hayes, Garfield, Lincoln,
Grant and Cleveland and you will
despair of predicting a presidential
nomination within two years of its

Onions.

Why DO not our farmers raise
more onions2 1t is an easy matter
to grow 500 bushels per acre, and
they are now worth $1.00 per bush
ell! Many garden crops must be
sent to market in small quantities
each day, but onions can be sent all
at once and are marketed as easily
as potatoes or corn. Let the boys
try small patch this spring. The

Farm, Rochester, N. Y, are large
onion growers, and raise the best of
seed. They let the boys and girls
under fifteen years of age have seed

discount from regular catalogue
rates. This is a genuine offer.
Send for the catalogue and try
their onion seed. 1t is warranted
fresh, crop of 1885, and of the high
est quality. Old onion seed will
not grow. Look out for it. New
seed is scarce and high, but no ex-
perienced grower will grow any
other.

The Avalanche entirely misap-
prehends the CITIZEN with respect
to Col. Bob. Gates. We agree to
any kind of words that set him out
as a man complete in his place.
The charges against him were so
absolutely absurd and untrue that
they were almost criminal. We
couldn't blame him, therefore, if he
should lose any interest he might
have had in the section whence the
abuse came. Indeed, it doesn't lie
in human nature to kiss the hand
that smites. A man must be sam
ionesized before he can do that. We
believe that Bob. Gates is nearly the
best public official Tennessee ever
had. We mean he has a finer work,
a finer conception of his work, a
finer adaptability to it, and the re-
suits are of more benefit and prom
Use to the state. In saying his ar
der was dampened, we meant no re-
Election upon his efficiency or his
willingness to serve his people. We
meant to say that if we were Bob.
Gates we'd see East Tennessee
singing psalms in Sheol before we'd
do her another favor.

Republicanism is a mixture of bun

Doak because he ratified around
