A Religiotw Demonetration such as
Was Never Before "Seen in Dun
. ham Sam Jones Happy. - ; .
Durham Recorder.
Last night ' about 3,000 people
wended their way through the rain
and mud to Parrish'e warehouse to
hoar the Rer, Sam Jones. . t,
After Mr.' Jones arrived, Prof. Ex
oell sang a beautiful solo: "The
road to heaveu" and; the choir and
congregation . joined in the chorus :
Tm going' home. 'V This was-fallowed
by a short secret prayer. ;
Mr. Jones said be did not fel like
preaching, but would keep bis seat
and talk to the congregation from
his chair. He did not select a' text.
He wasted to ask every uncotwert
ed person in the building one question :
"Why will you continue in sin I JVhy
go away from this warehouse to
night an im"penitent sinnert"
Mr. Jones then took up the follow
ing answers and discussed them most
earnestly : ' "' -
"Don't know what mn is."
Ignorant of the nature of sin."
"Don't know the consequences of
sin." .
"Don't think." ' '
After awhile." J : .
VR60 eseness." -?, -?
"Because a -conquered peace has
taken possession of tbe soul. 1
The preacher bandied these ques
tions iu such a manner that sooa no
sinner bad any standing ground and
there was nothing left but a complete
surrender to Christ. - a
.Soon Mr. Jones, became warmed
up and words with -no such power
and bearing ever fell upon a Durham
audience as did bis as he walked to
and fro upon the platform. With an
anguished look . and out-stf etched
hands he cried : "Oh 1 my God I Am
I preach'ing the funeral of some poor
soul to-night, who, in spite of all our
entreaties, will perish ia the wrong,
and bofore nextMonday morning be
in hell a damned soul, without hope
forever!"
- Thus ? the . speaker went on, 'his
words burning deep into the hearts
of his bearers, until bia audience was
in agony and tears He stopped and
askeU&t while the choir sang every
ono who would, make a start fori
heaven and. wanted the prayers of
christian people would come and give
him their hand. A beautiful hymn
was raised and thousands of voices
joined in tbe singing. Then came a
sight never before witnessed here.
Unsaved souls with streaming tears
by tbe hundreds filled the aisleB with
outstretched hands making their way
to grasp the hand of the great evan
gelist. The sight was too much for
the evangelist, who clapped his bands
and shouted: -"Hallelujah I . Glory to
God, hallelujah!" Many in tho choir
joined in the shouts, the tide swept
Over the congregation, the singing
ceased and the shouts which followed
almost made the roof of the old ware
house rattle. Christian people of all
denominations and ages for one
time joined in general praise to God,
and their voicss, intermingled with
shouts and prayer, went heavenward
as from a single soul.
No, Durham never saw saw such
sights before and perhaps never will
again, but the memory of last night's
sceues will go with those who wit
nessed it to the grave.
Boy's Leisure Honrs.
A boy was employed in a lawyer's
officeand be had the daily paper to
amuse binself witb. v He- began to
study French, and at the little desk
became a flueat reader and writer of
of the French language. He accomp
lished this by laying aside the news
paper and taking up something" not
so amusing, but far more profitable.
A coachman, was often obliged to: wait
long hours while bis mistress made
calls. - He determined to improve
the time.. He found a small volume
containing the eclogues of VirgiL. but
could not "read, so he purchased a
Latin grammar. Day by day he
studied this and finally, mastered its
intricacies.4 His mistres came behind
him one day, as he stood by the hor-
ses waiting for her, and 'asked him
what he was so intently reading.
"Only a bit of Virgil,' my Iaay.'
She mentioned this to her husband,
who insistedthat David should have
a teacher to instruct him. In a few
years David became a learned man,
and was for many years a useful and
beloved minister of Sootland.
A boy was told to open and shut
the gates to let the teams out of an
iron mine. He sat on a log all day
by the side of the gate. Sometimes
an hour would pass before the teams
came, ana this he employed so well
that there was scarcely any fact in
history ' that - escaped his attention.
He began with.a little book on Eng-
liuh history that he found on the road.
Having learned that thoroughly, he
borrowed of a minister "Goldsmith's
History of Greece." This good man
became greatly interested in him and
lsnt him books and was often seen
sitting by him on the log conversing
with bim about the people of ancient
times. Boys, it will pay to use your
eisure hours well. Selected.

Shakeeare's Advice to. Girls.
Shakespeare's advice to girls about
the selection of a husband is the best
in print, without excepting Poor
Richard and Hannah More. "Dear
.Kate, take a fellow of plain and un
coined constancy, for he, perforce,
must do, the right, because he bath
not tbe gift to woo in other places ;
for these fellows of infinite tongue,
that can rhyme themselves into la
aies favor tney do always reason
themselves out again. What, a speak
er is but a prater; a rhyme is but a
ballad. A good leg" will fall; a
straight back will .stoop ; a black
beard will turn white; a cnrled pate
will grow bald; a full eye will wax

A Marine Version of Absalom's Con
duct.
Lewiston Journal.
"I love a god .sermon," said old
Cap'n Bill Weatherrjggin, of Bucks-
port, the other day. "I like tbe roll
and pitch of a man coiling up religion
about the pulpit deck.".
Then Cap'n Bill tole a Bible story
in his quaint sailor lingo, tbe story of J
David and Absalom, and we doubt if
ever a Sabbath-BcbooF class beard
this story told in such a breexy way.
Said the Cap'n, after . shifting his
quid and taking a hitch in his trous
ers: 'King David's rapscallion of a
u, Absalom, bad kicked up a great
mutiny in tbe Jerusalem cabin. In
stead of starting bim before the mast
and lettiog him work his way up to
second mate, mate and captain, the
old man had let him have the free
dom of tbe whole deck and cabin.
He was first in the cabin overhauling
the old man's liquors in tbe locker,
and then forward io the forecastle
currying favor with the men,' telling
them what a fine oommodore he
would make and what good grub he
would give them, and what fine voy
ages they wonld have when he got
command of the ship of state. Well,
Absalom made things so wet and bpt
that theold man had to take to the
long boat with a few of the crew ahd
scud away to save bis life; and we
find bim anchored on the other side
of Jorda" pumping at both eyes.'

; Baby Elephants.
Haw tbe young elephants in the
arge herds escape from being crush
ed is something of a mystery, as
they are almost .continually io mo
tion ; but when a herd is alarmed the
young almost immediately Jisappear.
A close observer would 6ee that each
baby was trotting along directly be
neath its mother, sometimes between
herforelegs. - -
On tha march, when a little ele
phant is born in a herd, they stop a
day or two to allow ft time to' exer
cise its little limbs and gain strength,
and thaa-they press on, the mothers
and babies' in front, tbe old tuskers
bllswing . in the rear, but ready to
rush forward at the first- alarm.
Whea "'rocky or. hilly places are
reached the little ones are helped up
by the mothers, who push them from
behind and in various ways; but
when a river, has to bo forded or
swum a comical sight ensues. Abe
stream may - be very rapid and
rough, as the Indian rivers often--are
after a rain, and at such a place the
babies' would hardly be able to keep
up with' the rest, so tbe mothers and
fathers belpthem. " At first all
plunge boldly in both' young and
old and .. when the old - elephants
reach-deep water, where they have
to swim, tbe young scramble upon
their backs and sit astride, some
times two being seen in this position,
But the very young elephants oftefl
require a little more care and atteu
tion, so they are held either uponthe
tusks of the father or grasped in the
trunk of the mather and held over or
just at the "surface of "the water.
Such a sight. is a curious one, to say
tbe least the great elephants almost
hidden beneath the water, here and
there a young; one seemingly walking
on the water, resting upon a suo-
merged backor held aloft while the
dark waters foam below. . -

The village and rural merchant is
always expected to 4 'throw in" some
thing with any unusual purchase.
The custom is unknown to the city
merchant, who usually has one price
and one rule from which there is no
deviation.
"You'll throw in a spool of thread,
I reckon, if I take a dress-pattern off
of this!" asks the thrifty woman in
pursuit of "bargains" in a village
store.
"Well yes, I dunno but I can,
replies the equally thrifty merchant.
"And a card of hooks' and eyes)
"I dunno now; I alnt making i
cent off tbe goods, nohow."
"Oh nonsense! you're - doubling
your money, you know-you are, and
a card of books and eyes won't make
or brecfk you."
"No I s'pose noi ; IH throw them in.
"Come, now.Uhrow Jn a sgool bf4
twist, too. .
"I'm afraid I can't.-
"What I when I'm taking ten yards
of tbe gooder
"Well, all right; but I can't thro w
in anything more."
The goods are cut off and paid for
and all th other things "thrown in1
are put into the -parcel. But just as
tne woman leaves the store she makes
this last demandrJwbich the store
keeper, secure pf his bargain, firmly
refuses to grant:

It is not a generally known his
torical fact that from 1774 to 1784 the
territory now, known as Tennessee
formed a part of North Carolina,
and that in 1783 the TenneaseanB,
becoming dissatisfied with their gov
ernment, -organized, a State govern
ment' under the name of 'Franklin'
hich was maintained for some
years. The State organized aiter-
ward disbanded, says tbe Pittsburg
Dispatch, and territorial Tennessee
was again annexed to North Caro-
ina. The following is among the
laws passed by the Legislature of the
State of Franklin. We copy it as
found in a speech by Daniel Webster
on the currency of 1838:
Be it enacted by the General As
serably of the State of Franklin and
it is hereby enacted by the authority
of the same, That from tbe 1st day
f January, 1789, the salaries of
the officers of this Commonwealth bo
as follows:
His Excellenoy tbe Governor, per
annum, l.uou deer-sxins.
His Honor tbe Chief Justice, per
annum, uu deer-stcins.
The Secretary to bis Excellency
the Governor, per annum, 500 rac
coon skins.
The Treasurer of the State, 450
raccoon skins.
Each County .Clerk.- 800 beaver
skins.
Clerk of House of Commons, 200
raccoon skins.
Members of tbe Assemsly, per
diem, throe raccoon skins. .
Justices'' foes for signing a warrant,
one musk-rat skin.
To the constable for serving a war
rant, one mink skin.
Enacted into the law on the 18th
day of October, 1769, under the great
6cal of the State.
Anecdote Which ' Bears Every
Evidence of Btrlct Veracity. ,
That classical anecdote of the Eng
lish child who, when' reminded that
she ought to go to her mother, re
plied: "Her aint -a-calling we; us
dont belong to she," not only proves
that a confusion of cases is common
to untutored' minds, hut also that
they are deeply attached to pronouns.
n the country especially, says the
Youth's Companion, does ft love of
that part of speech greatly abound.
t may be a condition of the natural
Bheepishness, attendant on the closer
relations of life, but certain it is that

An Indian and a Panther.
A short time since a bloody fight
occurred between an Indian and
panther; twenty miles south of Mer
cer, Texas. A party of Indians from
a neighboring village were out bunt
ing wild turkeys. One of the party
wh6 ha"d strayed away from ha com
panions-met a large panther and shot
atit, wounding the beast and greatly
infuriating it. The panthof was in
close. quarters and. rushed, upon the
Indian before be could reload, and
bloody fight ensued. The Indian
drew bis knife," and when the pan
ther sprang upon him cut the beast'i
throat from ear toear, but at the
same time theT animal fastened its
fangs in the throat of tbe Indian
and-a death struggl' commenced
When the other Indians reached tbe

A Story of the Stump.
Here is a Pensilvania story as told
on tho stump in Wisconsin the other
night by W. D. Hoard, the republi
can candidate for Governor in that
state.
There lived once in the little city of
Williatnsport, Pa., aa old judge by
the name of Williams. This old
judge was noted for two things: For
getting mellow occasionally and for
being plucky and courageous under
all circumstances a gamy old man
It was a peculiarity of the old judge
that whenever he got mellow he grew
corespondingly religious. One night
he wandered into a protracted revi
val meeting aud seated himself upon
the front seat, full of spiritual influ
ence of some kind. The clergyman,
engaged in his preaching, rose to far
vid pitch of eloquenoe. and in the
midst of it exclaimed :
"Sbow me the drunkard I Show
me the drunkard! Of all men on
arth the most unfortunate;. show
him to mep
To tho consternation of all present
the old judge arose, and unsteadily
maintaining btmseii, exciaimoa,
"Well. sir. here I am."
The clertrvman having realised up
on his investment much sooner than
he anticipated didn't know what to
do with it. They finally pulled tbe
old iudse down, and the incident had
passed out of memory almost, when
the clerevmau agnin struct an im
passioned period and exclaimed in
tho honesty and lervor oi nis neart
-Show uie thebypocritel Show me

The judge arose the second time.
