AND TELLS THE STORY or HIS
CONVERSION,
Completely Capturing His Hearers
by the Charm Of His Manner and
the Chasteness Of His Style.

Sam Small, The noted revlvalist, ar
rived in the city Sunday morning at a
very early hour and registered at the
Peabody. Alter breakfast he was
waited upon by the Rsv. Samuel Wat
son, who prevailed upon him to arcept
the hospitality of his comfortable
home on Uuion street At the IL
o'clock services Mr.. Small preachs to
an immense cone lurae Of people a;

average reyivalist In great many

all in his favor. In personal appear

being florid, and pathetic without

the head rather than the heart,

ardor OF his nature 10 asrert Itself in a
fiery Remuneration Of sin aud sinners;
even hen bis language is Chaste and
temperate, and the cauons of good
tasie are never violated by hairs
breadth. The great charm Of his
manner is the entire absence OF affec-
alton, eve n when the most glowing
imagery is pouring from his ips in a
steady stream that holds his audience
Rpellbound; his enuocialion is al al
most UNMARRIED monotone aud he
seems as unconscious Of the beauty OF
his language as If he were professor
OF MATHEW AtiCs demonstrating prob
lem in geometry. He never, as is the
case with some preachers, gives notice
that some great effort is about to be
souched off. He never tays by his
manner, as some do, "Look ont, now,
here comes something fne," but be-
fore you know 1t he has unrolled his
canvass and you see before you a
picture OF celestial loveliness, and you
utterly lose sight Of the painter In adj
miring the picture.
Mr.. Small preached three times
yesterday, in the morning at the Cen
trail Methodist Church, in the after.
noon before theYoung Mems Christian
Association. At the rooms OF the lat
Der association his remarks were in the
nature Of Lesson as TO what the mis-.
sion Of the Young Mems Christian As-
aOciation really is. We have no time
to follow him infinitely, rs we have re-
served all OF our available space for tho
remarkable sermon he delivered at |
the Central Methodist Church in the
evening.

A Manufactured Gem.

"There is a new gem in the market, "
writes a correspondent, "the Volane du
Cap, manufactured in Paris. 1t seems rather
odd that gem should be manufactured,
though limitations are familiar enough, and
though modern alchemists have experiment
ed from time to time with carbon and other
materials in the pope of making diamonds;
but this, albeit an artificial product, is not an
imitation. It is unique. Possibly some
where in the earth, the elements that com
pose it, silica, alumipum, iron and other
matters, may exist in the same proportions
and in crystalic form, in which case art will
have been but copyist, its natural counter
part, if it exists, has not been discovered,
however. A jeweIer showed me one The
other day Of perhaps 10 karats. 1t was clear
and lusirous, and of a deep purple color,
stronger than the amethyst, but in a room
lighted only by gas its hue was not of the
carbuncle, deep and vivid red. In hard
ness it is seven in the scales that registers
the sapphire al nine and the diamond at ten.
It's discovery may lead to other experiments
in chemical combinations and the develop
men. of other gems of equal beauty"

Dict of the DaddieS.

The people of the last generation.
DR.. Hodges says, ''knew nothing OF
luxury; they had the reg lar and solid
meals at noontime, which are said to
be the foundation of the stability OF
character. and they enjoyed at least
nine hours of sleep every day." How
happy, indeed, are the men and women
who are able to look back upon such a
state of life. and how unhappy by con-
trast are those who remember differ
ent state of things as the practice OF
the older generations, and suffer in
their own lives It's effectsl To these
unfortunales the tables of their fathers
and mothers appear in their recollec-
ton burtened with unwholesome and
scarcely nourishing dishes. The chief
dish there is one of sailed pork. whose
contents have been shriveled in the
greasy irving pan into indigestib!e
scraps. There are potatoes, most FREE
quently fried in the same grease as
the pork, or else boiled; their starchy
substance is expected to be chief feature
of the meal. There is hot bread, made
OF a poor quality Of wheat flour, which
has been carefully deprived in the mill
ing of its most nutritious properties.
There is butter, which is generally
GOOD. There is tea which has boiled
long and long. its stewed leaves surg
inc round and round in the teapot
preparatory to being poured out in
black masses into cups for drinking.
And to crown the feast, there is dried
apple pie! This is the regular meal
that some mature people remember,
though at intervals, to be sure, Its
monotony is varied with excellent
brown bread made of Indian corn, with
inoccuous baked beans, and with
glutinous ''ilap-iacks" and griddle-
| cakes.-BOStOH Post.

THE GOVERNMENT PRISON.

Mr.. James of New York has intro
duced IN The House for the purpose of
attracting attention and discussion a
bin providing for the establishment of
prison and reformatory under Gov
crnment control for offenders against
United States laws.
Ills proposition is for the appoint
mept of a commission of five to con
slider the subject of accommodations
for and treatment of prisoners, to
secure plans and specifications for the
construction of a prison with capacity
for one thousand convcts and n re-
formatory to accommodate six hun
dred Juvenile convicts. or first offend
ers. The aggregate cost of the two
buildings is not TO exceed $4,000, 900.
The commission is to designate places
at which these institutions should be
located, and shall make such sugges-
tions as they see fit for legislation on
the general subject OF the care and dis
cipline of prisoners.
Mr.. James has no idea that his bill
can become a law at the present session
of Congress, but hopes to secure dis
cussion of the subject that will give it
greater prominence and weight before
the next session.
The main features of what he pro-
poses have received the Endorsement of
Attorney. Generals Brewster and Gar
land, and are generally approved by
those who have made prison manage
ment a study. HH
The only suggestion which the bill
contains as to the location of the pro.
posed institutions is that they shall be
''as easy of access as possible to the
different portions of the United States
The citizens of Washington have di-
rect interest in this measure, as the Ma
tional Capitol has always been promi.
nently mentioned as the site for q
Government penitentiary or reforma.
tory, if such buildings are to be
erected. The desirability of such ar
addition to our public institutions has
been very earnestly discussed. and from
different stand-points. Whatever may
be the verdict on this question, Mr.
James is right in his declaration tina
humanity, as well as economy, demant
that the Government should assume tn
care of its prisoners, and that prison re
form and discipline should receive care
full and thorough attention. The presen
system has many defects and abuses
and this movement is deserving of gen
eral support.

The Herald "agrees with those Congressmen
