A Question In Reference to Rev. Sam
Jones,
ANSWERS TO IT REQUESTED.


What is the secret OF the attractiveness o
Rev. Sam Jones as Speaker?
There are more intellectual, more learned
more eloquent, and more graceful Speakers
but none who can attract such large audiences
enchain their attention, and deeply interest
them as Sam Jones. Why is this? What is
the true secret or philosophy of ii? We would
be glad to have the opinions ofintelllgent men
Ish them in the SPECTATOR. Ifyou think you
can answer the question satisfactorily, don't
hesitate to give the public the benefit OF your
views through the columns Of the SPECTATOR,
for many have been trying. but in vain. to
answer that question. and would be obliged to
any one who would answer it satisfactorily.
SOME OF THE FRUITS OF REV. SAM JoNEss
MEETINGs.-That the preaching of Rev. Sam
Jones did good in this community there can
be no doubt. He made Impressions with good
results upon the minds Of many who heard
him. 1.-The tree should be judged by Its fruit"
and this test will show that Sam Jones is not a
"barren fig tree" Many resolved to lead bet
verified, have awaited themselves of the first op-
portunity-as he requested them to ao-to join
the churches of their choice.
We have been informed that on last Sunday.
additions were made to the membership of the
churches in this city as follows
First Presbyterian, 12-11 by con fession. and
by certificate. Methodist Episcopal Church
South, IS. Baptist. 81 of whom were baptized
at night. United Brethren, 6. There are others
who will join this church.
The Impressions made by Rev. Sam Jones,
at his meetings here, are not confined to this
city and community. Similar good impress
sions were made upon the minds and hearts of
multitudes In this and other counties who at
tended his meetings here; and they were bene
fetal not only to those who were sinners. and
"aliens from the Commonwealth Of Israel. and
strangers TO the covenants of PROMISE" but
also to church-members. Many think he did
as much good to church .membe RS as to those
who are not. His style of preaching is unlike
that OF any other man. and Is the subject of
adverse criticism, chic fly.by those who have not
heard him at all or but once or twice, but that
he preachers. with marked ability. practical
christianity. and does much good cannot be
doubted by any unprejudiced mind.

Now that cold weather is at hand it is
to the interest of every persen to see
that his stock is properly cared for.
Every one knows how he feels when he
is not perfectly warm and protected
from the colds and draughts, and how
apt he is to catch cold. There is NO
animal which is SO susceptible to draughts
and chills as your horse. At night
when sleeping his blood becomes slug
gish and he is liable to catch cold. In
recent years it has become the fixed
rule with all owners of good stock to
carefully blanket their horses not only
when out of doors, but also in the stable.
1t has been found that horses eat less to
keep warm, are kept in better condition,
and are more valuable by beng blan,
keted. One of the most essential fea
lures which should be looked at wher

To Prevent and Restrict Diph.
liberia.

The Board of Health of Philadelphia
has issued circular giving tie following
regulations for the prevention and res
friction of diphtheria:
Recent Investigations having proved
that the poison of diphthera is portable
and communicable by infection, and cap
able of reproducing itself outside of the
human body, diptheria must now be
ranked as both a cougious and infectious
disease. The following rules are there.
fore more Imperative than ever before:
First. When a child or young person
has sore throat, bad odor to it's
breath, and especially if it has fever, it
should Immediately be separated and
kept secluded from all other persons
except necessary attendants, until it be
ascertained whether or not it has diph-
iberia, or some other communicable
disease.
Second. Every person known to be
sick with diphtheria should be promptly
and etfectually isolated from the public
Only those persons who are actually
necessary should have charge of or visit
the patient, and these visitors should be
restricted in their intercourse with other
individuals. Children residing in a
house where there is a case of .iipntherii
should not be permitted to attend
school.
Third. When case of diphtheria is
fully developed the same prec .u5ioas in
| regard to free ventilation, disposal and
distinction of discharges, bed or body
linen, and so forth, isolation during con
Valescence Cor management OF the corpse
should death unfortunately occur), etc >,
ought to be enforced AMI which have
already been recommended in regard to
small pox.
Fourth. 1t is particularly impor;an
that persons whose Threats are tender or
sore from any cause should avoid posi-
BILE exposure to the contagior of diphthe-
ria. Children under 10 years of age are
in much greater danger of taking the
disease, and, after they do take it, of
dying from it, than are grown persons.
Bnt adults are not exempt, and mild
cases in them may cause whole series of
fatal attacks among children.
Fifth. Numerous instances are record
ed where contagion of diptheria has re-
tanned its virulence for weeks or months
in cesspools, heaps of decaying vegetable
matter, damp walls, etc., and been
carried for long distances in clothing, in
sewes, in waste pipes from stationary
Wristbands, and in other conduits
Hence all sewer connections and other
carriers of filth should be well ventilated
should not be allowed to breathe the air
of any water closet, cesspool or sewer
into which discharges from patients sick
with diphtheria have entered nor to drink
water or milk which has been exposed
to such air or the atmosphere of the
sick room.
Sixth. Beware of any person who has
sore throat; do not kiss such person
or take his or her breath; do not drink
from the same cup, blow the same
whistle, nor put his pencil OF pen into
your mouth.
Seventh. Do not wear or handle
clothing which has been worn by per
from diphtheria.
