THE HOY PREACHER. John Wesley Shields, Formerly of Ander son, S. C., Aged 8 Year?. . A (lauta Journal. i Atlanta has produced a prodigy in the person of .John Wesley Shields, an eight year old pupil at Fair street school, who has developed wonderful oratorical powers. They call him the "Young .Sam Jones'" around St. Caul's Methodist ' Church, on Hunter street, where lie preached Saturday afternoon and yes terday, to '-it!.''- and attentive congre pat ?fu.-. Johnno i-; 'in intelligent looking little h I ?Vc k ?ey cd hoy; and ka-all the m! <V. nity "I h arin/: of a grow ii lip niau.

He hi's a slight impediment in hi. apeech, natural in one sn young, hut when he gets under way his delivery is splendid and he is a very interest ing talker. "If there ever was a horn preacher in the world he is one," said his mother, who lives near the corner of Moore street on Hunter, his father he ine a barber in the Kimball house block. "Ile has been preaching for a year and a half and anybody listening . at him might think that hr bad been taught what he knows, but this is not AO. '"He says that whatever be utters (?od tells him to say, and he never re peats the same sermon, but talks in a different way every time and his de livery is as free as that of a trained minister. "Wc came from Yirginia about a year and a half ago. My husband is Kev. J. W. Shields, a local preacher connected with St. Paul's Church, and eight months ago John Wesley bc ?ntti? n ??Joniber of thc ('burch. This summer we went, up to Anderson, S. C., ou a visit, and while there be preached twice in the Wesleyan Church. Saturday afternoon he preached at thc children's meeting at St.. Pauls, and again Sunday afternoon. Ile preached in nearly every grade of thc school ?md seems to be a born orator and preacher." Kev. Mr. Diamond, pastor of St. J'auls, has been conducting a chil dren's meeting on Saturday and Sun day afternoons, and on Saturday afternoon he called on John Wesley Shields, The little fellow responded and preached a very strong sermon ol fifteen minutes length, from the texl .'Be Sure Your Sin Will Find You Out." W "He told the children," said Mr. .Dimond, in speaking of the sermon "that they might sow their wild oat! and do evil deeds while they wen young, but that they might restassur ed that their sins would find then out. "Ile cited the cases of Tom Deik Arthur Haney and young Spinks 'See,' said he, 'what a drink of frei whiskey cost Arthur Hanej*. lt cos him his life. Be sure your sin wil ' find you out. It found those boys ou and they wero made to suffer. It wil find you out likewise if you coutinui in your sinful course.' "His sermon was a surprise to al who heard him. Sunday afternoon ! called on him again, and at first hi g told me that he had promised to preacl for the holiness people up town, bu , he changed his mind, and at the ohil dren's meeting he appeared with hi i Bible in h^nd. "I called him inside thc chance j and he opened his Bible und read ; lesson, announcing his text, 'Behob 1 stand nt thc door and knock. I any man will open unto mc I wil cuter in and sup with him and li shall sup with jue.' The sermo.) that followed was masterly effort for enc so young, am would have lone credit io a grown-u preacher. Ile is a wonderful li ttl ^fellow a*hd is a natural orator and a "^"""V ? fervent in his delivery as if belia been trained for the ministry. "Aboutvsl year anda half ago b was in our infant class, and he scenic to develop the idea of preaching froi talks that he had with roy wife. II first began preaching te the childre: in his mother's yard, and from tho he began preaching at school, and nc he is developing into a regular Methc dist preacher." The parents of the child are bot deeply religious people, his father bc ing a local Methodist preacher, an John Wesley has been brought up i a ministerial atmosphere. He seems to absorb scrip turi knowledge, and every night before hi father comes home, John Wesley sun: mons the rest of the family to famil prayer just as if he were a man growt His mother says there is not th slightest levity in bis makeup an that he is in earnest in every thin that he does.

There was a drum mer near mo who was thc best ven triloquist 1 had ever seen. The rest of the company knew of his powers, but 1 did not, so he concluded to have a little fun out of mc. I heard a voice from the third story saying: "Won't you please conic to No. fi. I would like to speak to you." I went up, but found No. fi unoccupied, with thc hallway leading to it lilied with a lot of rubbish, over which I stumbled, (.'ailing to thc clerk, win. was otic ol' ill?; below. I inquir ed who was ii. No. I?, Mc repli? d thal there was no eue egisuied foi thal room. I was pu /.'/.led, but never for ;! uiomciil susjpecifd that I was the vic tim of a practical joke. lie turning tc the pavement i began to comment upon thc strangeness of the thing when a voie, called mc again, Haying "I in adc a mistake in the number, Will you jilease conic to No. Ifi. 1 am sorry to trouble you." I immediately ran up the thrv.< flight.H of stairs to No. lfi, but niel with no better luck than before, foi this room was dark and unoccupied I begun to get a little mad, for ] thought Home fellow was up there atu dodging me. 1 gave up the searcl and went back to where the group o men were seated. "That fellow thinks he's dui ti; something smart," said I. At this thc crowd broke forth in ; hearty laugh and tho perpetrator u thc joke made the most humble apoio gy, saying : "We just wanted to hav a little fun at your expense, sir. atti a ventriloquist." His chair was next to mini!, an the "sell" was so complete and so sui prised mc that I enjoyed it as much a the rest of them. ?Some time af tc that this man and I met in a sma town in North Carolina. While standing on the street cornel talking, wc saw an old darky comiu toward us with a fishing pole throw across his left shoulder, while in h: right hand he was carrying a turtb holding him by thc tail. The ol fellow's face was wreathed in smile: for he was .thinking of the "turtle soup he was going to have that d;? for dinner. I called my ventriloquy friend's attention to thc old negro ; he came shambling ulong. "Ain't he happy/' said I, "Vi ionB of turtle soup are floating throuj his mind." "Wait till he gets up close to n and I'll make that turtle speak him," said my friend, i "Cau you do that?" J "Watch me," said he. Just as the old negro got alongsu a voice as from the sky said : "Whar you gwinc to drap me ?" Thc old man turned his eyes bea onward ami said : "Hi ! who dat Bpoke ?" Just then the voice came again, b this time it was unmistakably frc thc turtle. Looking down with asto ishmcnt and fear he let go his pris saying as he did so :, 1 Tsc gwine to drap you right'ere And ho did so. I called to him : "Old man, come back and get yo turtle.' "Nor, sub, he.can stay d'yrr. doan' want him !" "Oh, come back," said I, "tl man is a ventriloquist, and it was that made the turtle speak." Looking at my friend and movi off slowly in the opposite directic he said : "I doan' know nothin' 'bout whcntriloguis, but thc devil's in <. turtle, an' I'm done wid him !" - C vi una ti ( \niwii retah Trihunv. .-i? ? . -9?. .

It has its hirth, it? childhood, its man hood and old age, its characteristic virtues, and, alas, its predominating vices and favorite oin. On the old nations, whose records wo can view without prejudice or favor, and give judgment with judicial fairness, wc have no mor.' difficulty iu rendering a verdict than on a prisoucr in thc dock. And just so in the future the Igni ted States must appear at the bar. Some (Jibbon or Carlyle, with specta cles on his nose, will Ht in judgment mi thc deeds we ure now doing in the flesh, the chronicles of the day will presen! i brief uni lin- evidence for t!ii prosecution, and irving and Ibm croft and others who have loved ns. not o wi-ely. perhaps as well, will appear for the defense. The (iuding of that court we cannot forecast as yet, but at least we should decide what is our chief sin, that we may shun'it and reform if possible. And that sin. marking our whole peo ple with a brand as plain as that of Cain, is waste. The South wastes annually enough to pay the interest on our national debt ; the waste of the nation could pay the principle in two years -waste of food, waste of clothes, waste of energy and brain force. Now, in this category we count noth ing as waste that gives fair return of pleasure ur health or rest. Money Hpcnt for these pays large dividends, and yet this is what most of us call waste. Malthus teaches that the time must come when the earth eaunot SM; port its thronging Bullions, and therefore he calls war a necessity and wholesale death our earthly benefactor. And he ?B right if ,we must live as we do now or if-our present mode of life is necessary to our healthy existence. Hut here are a few figures to con trovert both the theory and founda tion upon which it is based : Two thousand one hundred and twenty-five acres near Paris produce all the vege tables necessary for thc 2,000,000 in habitants of that city and furnish a surplus for shipment to London. With no appliances more costly than a few frames for seeding, half au acre produces crops that sell for $1,000. H?sidcs, it is now certain that not even soil is necessary for the perfec tion of plant life. The dorman, Pro fessor Nobbe, grew in jars of water nerf RC t rice plants, !i**'ivi!y fruited, merely by introducing the chemical food of the plant-principally nitrogen -into the water. Nearly all these constituents are in the air, are return ed to it and may be used again for ever. And yet we are already talking about our 1 'exhausted fields." What about Egypt und Asia Minor, that have fed millions since thc dawn of history ?-Jacksonville (Fla.) Citizen. About Faying Debts. Nov? that the crop is being harvest ed all creditors are anxiously looking to thc collection of their bills, and, one year with another, it is best to sell cottou as soon as it is ready for market. It is always best to pay debts promptly. Let no man sacrifice his credit for the sake of a bale of ootton, or hold baek his cotton in hope of speculating on that which is justly the property or the money of another. The wisest and best financiers in the country know nothing of the future price of cotton. A good name is of great value to any man.i Thc rich become richer by thc use of their credit, and the poor arc saved from great embarrassment by the fact ot' a good name. A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches. Dy a good name and by good credit, the man without money is set forward in the affairs of the world. Therefore pay what you owe if it takes tho last cent. You can then usc your credit again. A man with a good name cati pledge bis word at any time and secure the needed help, but the mau who labors under a bud name as to debt-paying is in a bad fix. There is a great difference in being prompt and in delaying paymont. The man who postpones the pay ment of a debt injures his credit and gains nothing. Two men pay all they owe-ono pays promptly, the other de lays-one has good cifewit, tu? other has not so good a basis of credit. No man man can afford to throw away a good 'name for the sake of a bale of cotton. . ? bale of ootton is trash when compared to that priceless hoon-a good name.-Exchange. - It is ? singular faot that red is made from madder, and that bulls are made madder by red. 1 - The miners in Pennsylvania lost 3? 000,000 in wages by their protracted stiike, - "Poor Jones met a painful end ^yesterday."

Among the greatest evils and bur dens of farm life has never . been reckoned the solitude which it out?i'o on the women of the househo-d*. Many a wife has faded away bc.ause of the lonesomeness of her toil! far from thc associations of those in whom she has an interest. A new western experiment has opened a way to avoid this and substitute for the isolation of the farm a close connec tion with neighbors that means better enjoyment foi- all. Situated in central Kansas arc a number of farms and ranches owned by relatives and (dose friends, trow ing weary of the lung drives between residences-for the distances on the prairies are magnificent - the farmers began experimenting with telephones and have put in working order a neighborhood system that is attract ing wide attention, lt starts from a little railroad station, and the wires arc attached to the barbed wire ol the ranch fences, no insulating process being used, it being carefully arranged so that there shall bc no broken wires. AV here the wire crosses the road it ia lifted on high poles until it will clear even the big loads of prairie hay. then comes down and is stapled to a fence post and connected with thc barbed wire again. Thc resi dences along the route have plain $? instruments, which are thc principle portion of the expense. The line is about six miles long and connects a half dozen homes. Thc women can talk with one auother as well as' if they were in the same room, and on pleasant mornings when all the instru ments are in use it is quite a social affair. The men who have large stock interests receive semi-daily market quotations from the depot, dictate their orders for buying and selling, and one of them manages, largely by wire, a cheese factory in a neighboring town. Contrary to all expectations, there is no leakage in posts, and the conversation betweeu the most widely separated points is carried on easily. The success of the linc has encouraged thc building of others, and it is probable that the barbed wire fences of the plains will soon be generally employed for tele phone lines. The recent experiments with rural delivery of mail in prairie communi ! tics have been very successful, and I although there arc such widely separa ted homes as arc not known ia the east the carriers found it much appre ciated aud were able to serve whole neighborhoods by a single visit. The families of the farmers were greatly delighted by the innovation. The farmer has been the recipient of many labor saving devices, but his family has had far less benefit from the advancement of the times. The coming of these new achievements promises to make more happiness in the farmer's home and to remove the feeling of isolation which has been so great a barrier to the bringing up of a family far from the centers of popula tion and business. With the tele phone at hand, a buggy in the barn, mail delivered at the door, and a bicy cle perhaps for an occasional spin, there ought to a way to Bolve the ever present probktn of how to keep the b?ya and girls on the farm.-Neio York Independent. Maddox's Barking tat. g James M. Maddox, superintendent of the Missouri District Telegraph Company, has a cat. Besides the usual feline complement of uine lives, this cat has a past, and, unless all signs fail, a future which falls to the lot of few eats'. Hi-; name is Towser, and, although hi> m ither was a well bred Tabby. Towser has all the characteristics, habits and fratlitics of a dog. li carly kitteuhood Towser s mother fell a victim to tho deadly oat rifle of :\ small boy, and Mr. Maddox found a foster mother for the kitten in a kind hearted pet dog, with a young family and troubles of her own. Tho canine mother took kindly to the little found ling, and Towser, the kitten, grew fat and sassy with a litter of puppy foster brothers aud sisters. ? When the kitten was weaned be showed no tendency to abandon the dog's life which he had learned to lead, and began to exhibit ali the ca nine characteristics which he had nursed with his adopted mother's milk. Instead of mewing and cater wauling like a melancholy orphan eat, he began to bark like the other pop pies and growl like they did, sad he beeame the wonder of the friends and viaitoro at tho Maddox home. He waa named "Towser," and responds to the whistle of his master like a sure enough dog. Perhaps the oddest trick Towser has learned is that of wagging his tail, whioh he does not iv. tho' serpentine manner of his ances tors, but from side to side, in the vig orous? and un prom i si og style of a dog? JTowser expresses fear, too, with his tail, and when thoroughly scared will tuok his long appendage between his legs, as he has seen, his foster breth* rea do, and run to cover. During the hot weather Towser suffered consider ably from tho heat, and might have been seen sitting about in thc ahnde, panting with his tongue out, in thc j manner supposed to be peculiar to the i dog. lie bas none of thc sinis (er traits of bia tribe, does not parade .along the narrow edge of back fencer in the dead of night, and gets from place to place in a dog trot, ot areal gallop, instead of in the soft-footed and obsequious manner of other eats. Towser has mastered that mysterious free masonry of dopi whieh has been the wonder of natural - ists for all time, and seems to have but little trouble in forming the ac quaintances of strange doga which he meets ou the street 'corners and about ;h?' bases of friendly lamp posts and telegraph poles. Occasionally he has run across an ugly terrier, who, ac cepted no overtures, would attempt to rend Towser on the spot, and il is on ly on such rare occasions that Tows er's feline propensities come to the surface. When a dog attacks him he will climb a tree or a fence, where bc will sit growling and barking at the enemy until he satisfies himself that he is not really a cat, but a dog in all but physical conformation. Towser is very fond of a run through the streets with his master, and from long jaunts over the granit oid pavements and rough streets his oyce velvet paws have been coven d with callous corns, until his footfall is no longer inaudible, and his toe nails are as rough and strong as those of a dog. Towser has a pronounced antipathy for toonien. and will rush at them, barking furiously and growling as if ,he would bite them; his bark is worse than his bite, however, for he has never been known to bite anyone and has earned for himself the reputation of being a very docile and intelligent dog or cat. as the caso may he.-St. Louis Republic. The Same Result. Ask any old mau who has realized bis pet object in life if he is satisfied, and he will probably answer "no." The mun whose dream was to accumu late wealth is \vV>rried td death when he gets it. He fears that he will lose it or that bis family will squander it. Thc ambitious politician who finally reaches the high office which he has sought all bis life is made wretched by bis foes and false friends.

Since Adam there have been millions of rich men and great men, but only a few of their names have been handed down.
