ELoQUENcE OF THE NEGRO.
Notable Example Was That Present.
ed In the Preaching OF Rev.
John Jasper.

Rev. John Jasper represented the
highest type Of ignorant eloquence.
Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly con-
tains an interesting account Of the ia
nous old preacher.
There were many other discourses,
says the author, just as good as the
"Sun-do-move" sermon, though not so
well known. In every n he wrought
himself up into a pitch that was aston
ishing. In preaching IN Sunday on
the final triumph Of Christ's kingdom
he scared aloft in his imagery. The au-
dience, white and-black, were wrought
up to the highest pitch.
San DEATH" he said, "whar will
Death be den? Chained-tied fas' to
de golden chariot o. de Lawd. He will
be groanin' an stumblin' an fallin'!"
And taking up one foot in his hand
with the, suppleness and the activity
of q trapeze dancer he hoped and
hobbled and sprawled and fell around
the pulpit until the congregation, run
wild with the perfection Of the acting,
almost thought they were in the very
RACSSACC VI LA1C SAd1ACu Leu As dAO IuC
women shrieked and shouted and the
men rose in their seats and shouted like
wild.
In his speech John Jasper was de-
mandatory and as sarcastic as a man
could be. He roasted his enemies alive.
His strong point "a his ability to ridi-
Guile his opponents. He could say more
in a cynical grunt or a laugh or q wave
of his long arm than most men can say'
in a paragraph. !,
Jasper could argue all day, If neces~
sary, and none could beat him. He
knew nohing of s%yllogisms, Of their
premises and their conclusions, but he
proved what he said by stalking upon it
his own character.
"Ef tain so, frien's, go into de high
ways an de byways an de streets an
de hedges an tell ev'ybody you meet
dat John Jasperis a liarl"
To be sentenced to Imprisonment for
the term of ones natural life is hard
enough, but to be consigned to a dun
geon cell for a couple of thousand
years is indeed narrowing. Yet for
eign judges not infrequently impose
sentences of several centuries without
it being considered anything remark
able. Not long ago an Italian adven-
turer was convicted of 63 distinct for
geries. He was sentenced in each case,
with the result that he will be free in
the year 2089.
A couple of years ago a young man
was arrested in Vienna who, upon his
own showing, should have been SEN
fenced to $500 years Imprisonment.
A total of 400 charges was brought
against him, and he was convicted and
sentenced on all Of them. But the
judge was a merciful man, and in pass
ing sentence he threw of 1000 years
in consideration of the mans youth.
A little time ago, in the great Calabri-
an brigandage trial in Naples, the pub
lie prosecutor demanded sentence
upon 24s prisoners, and although the
average sentence imposed was !. little
over five years the aggregate Of the
sentences amounted to 1900 years i'm
prisonment.

at is not known what effect the pur-

the Baltimore & Ohio will have upon
the business of the state, but If the B.
s. o. takes care of its local patrons
along that line as well as it has along
its main line the residents Of the Ohio
valley may be congratulated upon the
change of ownership. After time
new official will be put in charge Of
the Ohio River road and doubtless its
affairs will be managed according to
business principles and not by moods
caused by bad digestion or heated
imagination. The present manage
ment, which has controlled that line
for some years on the principle that
the public be d., will soon retire
and its going will meet with as little
opposition from the public as any
change that has taken place in this
state for many years.
