Get There
This is the title of the lecture de
livered last night by Rev. Bam P
Jones at Metropolitan Hall to one of
the largest audiences that ever as
sembled in the building. It is useless
to add that Mr. Jones "got there,"
and, it is evident that the people
"went there." The lecture was in all
respects, characteristic of the speaker,
and fully sustained his high reputa
tion as an impersanator of the ludi
crous and pxthetio. It is somewhat
of a marvellous production, and seems
to be in the main an admixture of
Mr. Jones' many sayings and witti
cisims, .interpersed with pointed ap
plication to the subject of the lecture.
It does not abound with what might
be termed solid argument, for it is a
theme that does not really require it.
It seems to have been the object of
the speaker to amuse his audience
and, in this respect, he succeeded in
a most masterly style. His applica
tions are well drawn, his pathos, at
times overwhelming, and bis wit runs
entirely through the whole vein of
the discourse. We cannot better
sum up our ideas than to say, that
Mr. Jones is a genius of the tir t class,
and that he is as well, or, perhaps,
better qualified to sway the minds of
people than many of the leading men
of our day. His style is not that of
overflowing eloquence. It is more of
the conversational order, but of the
most persuasive kind. His chief forte
is evidently his masterly qualification
in measuring his audience. He can
do this, as no other man can, whom
it has been our fortune to hear. In
sarcasm and pickwickian allusions,
he has but few equals, and the lash
ing of his tongue is as much to be
dreadeC by those who differ with him,
as the proverbial index finger, of
John Randolph, of Roanoke. Mr.
Jones is moulded in a pattern from
which few of our noted men have
issued. He can apparently abuse
without malice, and some of his most
scathing rebukes are declared by him
to be for the best interest of those
against whom they are directed. He
can tell a joke superbly, and he can
in the next moment carry his bearers
with him high iu the realms of emo
tion. He is gifted, in fact, with such
versatility as few men possess, and, to
this extent he has almost unbounded
influence over his hearers. To see
and hear him, is to have the occasion
indelibly impressed upon the mind
His air is that of frankness, and, it is
evident that in all matters he has the
courage of his convictions.
He says that it may be, he will
abide with us for about ten days in
the course of the coming year If so,
it will be an occasion of great interest,
and it can be safely estimated that
thousands will avail themselves of the
opportunity to hear him.
Remember.
Remember that today you cm 6ee

vet and moquette carpets, many of
which w offer at less than cost, and

In our Shoe Department, while catering to
the wants of all or nearly all, and those who
we do not cater for are the persons who want
OUR
a shoe so low in price as not to be good, and
shoes that are not gcod we do not care to sell.
Of all articles which enter into our daily per
sonal wear the shoe is probably the last to
SHOE
practice poor economy upon. While of
course we keep shoes at a great many differ
ent prices, we do not lose sight of the fact
that we must sell a good shoe or lose much
of our shoe custom. We do not lose many
