REV. JOHN JASPER. An Interview with This Noted Colored Divine. From the Richmond Dlxpatch. There is no colored preacher in the world, perhaps, more widely known than Rev. John Jasper, pastor of the Sixth Mount Zion Baptist church, of this city. This ven erable man (who will be 75 years bid on the anniversary of the country’s inde pendence next month) lives in the bosom of Jackson ward, at 1,112 North St. Janies street. Here it was that “The-Sun-Do-Move” sermon, which gave him such notoriety, was evolved. Here he sits in his room, on the second floor,-and studies his Bible and brushes the flies away with a cat-o’-nine-tails, while seven of his portraits (one marked John Jasper, D. D.), look down from the walls of his chamber, and his wife busies herself with household duties on the floor below. THREE WIVES. The old man has been married three times. He was born in Fluvanna, and while in slavery (in 1838) he first married. He and his wife both belonged to the Peachy estate. “After my ole mistiss died,” says he, “all the estase was divided up, and I was taken one way and my wife another.” In 1844 he was again married. During the war he wedded his present wife. Jasper has several children living and some dead. He is also a grandfather and a great-grand father. HIS PASTORAL LIFE. Parson Jasper says he he has been preach ing since the first Sunday in February, 1840. From this time until the emancipa tion of the slaves he preached around in different counties for the benefit of different people, who would pay his owners for the time he was away. After the war his first pastoral charge" was in' Petersburg. In 1867 he organized his present congregation, with nine members, and for a long time they worshipped in a stable on Brown’s . island in the river. A bridge ran to the ' island from Richmond in those days. They afterward secured a house at the corner of Fourth and Cary streets, whence they re moved to the structure (Duval, between St. John and St. James), which has been pulled down only in the past few weeks to make place for anew and larger one. In old times this was the Duval-Street (white) Presbyterian church building. HOW HE WAS CONVERTED. The divine was asked who converted him. “God Almighty,” he quickly answered. “I was converted just like Saul of Tarsus. I was converted in the Capitol square while the people were celebrating the Fourth of July. I had an engagement that night to go to see some girls, when all of a sudden a deep impression fell upon my soul. I had seen people die, apd I began to think about that and other serious things. I went right out of the square and went home and bun dled myself up.” “What do you mean by bundled your self up?” “\\ ell, I mean I left off my Sunday clothes and put on my old clothes. When Sunday came I put on the worse clothes I had. In ’bout two weeks God converted me and anointed me with the Holy Ghost, and made me the Moses of my race, and said I shouldn't be succeeded in my day, and I should answer the infidel. The prophecy is fulfilled. Moses led the children of Israel forty years, and I have led my people forty eight years already. “Well, after I got-eonverted I wanted to join the church. When I went before ’em to be interrogated they asked me about my conversion. I told ’em. Then they asked me if I could read the. Bible. I told ’em no; I hadn’t read the Bible. It was old man Robert Spriggs asked me that. He’s dead now. I fold him I hadn’t read the Bible because I never had but seven months’ education, and that I stole from a New York spelling book. I call it stealing be cause slaves wasn’t allowed to learn. Well, he asked me what I knew ’bout the Spirit of God; how did I know I had it? I told ’em I knew it, ’cause I felt it; that’s the way I know it. Well, after they got through in terrogating me I ioined the church and went right to preaching, and I been preach ing ever since. I didn’t have any education, but I called on God for understanding and Christian judgment, and He gave it to me.” NO MANUSCRIPT. “Do you ever write your sermons;” , “I never wrote a sermon in my life. My gift is a spiritual gift, and when I preach I am led on by the spirit of God. My mind' flies through the Bible like a flash or light ning. Sometimes if I had six tongues I could use ’em all at once. No trouble for me to get doctrine. The spirit of God brings me more doctrine than I ran speak. I couldn’t, speak from manuscript anyway. I’d forget it was on the Bible in front of me. I haven’t decided yet what texts I will preaph from to-morrow.” “How many sermons do you preach a day’” “Two now. I’ve preached four a day. And I’ve seen the time when I could a’ preached a sermon for every hour in the day. My voice used to be so loud that you could hear me from Shockoe Hill to Rock ets.” “How long have you been living in Rich mond;” '• “Since 1835,” answered the old preacher, as he looked up over his octagon-eha]x 1 spectacles. “I ain’t been living in this house but fifteen years.” “There have- been lots of changes in things since you came here, haven't there; - ’ ANCIENT RICHMOND. “Yes, sir. When I first came hero, there wasn’t over throe brick houses between Twenty-first street and Rockets. There was some few shanties on Main street. The city was only laid off as far as Adams street. West of that was nothing but woods. Fourth street was the city limits. At sec ond and Broad streets the old Brackett’s tavern stood. Only in the pest forty-eight years has there been a street from Church Hill to Shockoe Hill. Just at Broad street and Jail alley Broad street ended. Below was tlio gully and the creek. The Danville depot was a vacant lot. ’Bout a dozen houses were built in Manchester. Near Mayo's bridge vessels used to come up and unload. Cary street was a muddy country road—no houses on it at all. There wasn’t no railroads here then. Main’s, bridge was the only one 'cross the river. Trent's bridge had stood where the Free bridge is now, but it was washed away. Everybody had to pay ‘lO lienee’ to go across the bridge. If you didirt have but sc. you couldn’t go.” A LARGE CONGREGATION. “What’s the membership of your church now?” asked the reporter, hauling the parson in from the past to the present. “Between 3,400 and 2,500. Anew reg istration was begun some time ago, and many members aid not come up. Some have since repented and joined, but a good mgny are out now.” THE FAMOUS SERMON. “How often have you preached your ser mon on the rotationbf the sun;” 1 “About 100 times. I first preached it in 1878. Since then I have had offers from all over tills country and from London, Paris, and other places to go and preach it; but 1 lbfused ’em all, ’cause I didn't think it would bo right to leave my people. One man offered me 8400 to go" to London and preach the sermon. He even said lie would pay ino the money first, and that I wouldn’t nave to walk a step between here and Europe, and wouldn’t have to walk a step after I got there.” HOW IT CAME ABOUT. “How did you happen to think of that sermon?” “Well, I preached that sermon from the text, “Tho Lord is a man of war; the Lord is His name,” which you will find to be tho third verse of chapter xv. of Exodus. In speaking about tho war lietwecn the Aniorites and the children ot Israel I brought in about Joshua, (after God gave him pertain* ion) commanding the sun to stand still upon Giboon and the moon to stop in the Valley pf Ajalon, so that ho Would havo enough time to win the Iwttle before the sun went down. And then I told my people if they had any difficulties or things got in their way to go to God and ass his assistance just a* Joshua did.” “Are you in good health?” “Yes, very good for an old man like me. Soon after f fii-st delivered this sermon here I went to Washington, Baltimore and Phila delphia, and when I came back a great re vival was going on, and one day I baptized 301 people without coming out of the water. That laid me up for awhile. Never had but three attacks of sickness in my life. Since I was sick last December my appetite has not been as good as it used to be. Yes, I’m in mighty good health for an old man like me,” and he wiped his spectacles as the re porter departed. THE NEW CHURCH. The new church, when completed, will cost between $15,000 and 816,000, and will be a very fine structure. It will be made to seat about twice as many or more than the old edifice. A temporary place of worship has been constructed on North First street, which will be used until the new edifioe is completed. THE SIGHTLESS CADETS. How the Blind Boys Marched and Went Through the Manual of Arms. From the Philadelphia Press. Sixty boys in military uniform, whose sightless eyes were blind to the sunlight which trickled through the leaves of the trees above their heads, and who could not recognize the faces of the friends and kins man who surrounded them, marched and drilled yesterday in the grounds of the Pennsylvania Institution for the Instruc tion of the Blind, with the precision of veterans. The drilling of the cadets is a feature of this institution, and it is an original fea ture, to which there is none similar in this country. The patience, the study and time spent upon this branch of instruction presents a reward in the improved bearing of the little soldiers, and in the health which the exercise gives them. When the cadets marched from the gym nasium to the playground it was almost im possible to believe the miniature militiamen were blind. Their shoulders were squared, their heads erect, and their step was firm and regular. The muzzles of their muskets made an unwavering line of light, and the red stripes on their blue trouser legs rose and fell with the regularity of a machine. It was the final full dress drill of the cadets, and all of their 'friends and relations and the friends of the institution were gathered around the walls of the playground. But the applause which saluted the cadets as they filed past was the only knowledge they had of the near presence of hundreds of spectators. The left hand of each boy rest ed, as he marched, on the left shoulder of the one preceding him. The first boy in each company could see. Commandant Maj. Harry W. King di rected the battalion to “ground arms,” and at the word every gun touched the ground at the same moment. The cadets separated and stood at two yards distance. Then at the spoken command they went through a calisthenic drill, clapping" their hands, rais ing their arms and swinging them like so many automatons worked by the same piece of mechanism. It was only when the boys bent over to touch the ground with their finger tips that there was any irregularity; then the differ ence in height of the cadets made it impos sible for the long-limbed boys to recover themselves as quickly as did their younger comrades. The guns were picked up and the command was given, “Twos, threes and fours, forward.” The ranks broke and there was a scattered movement to the right, the right hands and arms of the cadets held their muskets firm and the left hands moved anxiously in search of a companion’s shoul der. By some instinct finer than sight itself the moment the wandering fingers of a cadet touched the person of a comrade he seemed to know instantly that it was the man he sought. In a few seconds the battalion was formed in dose ranks of two. As the ranks marched and countermarched, broke and reformed, the other inmates of the institution sat and stood in groups around the walls, guessing from the words of command what their companions were doing. Among them was a large., heavily built man, who sat with one hand over his sightless eyes and with the other clasped in both of those of a little girl. She called him father, and as the drill went on told him as graphically as a child could what her black, pretty eyes saw be fore her, and how and what the cadets were doing. At the conclusion of the drill Acting Prin cipal Frank Battles called from the ranks those of the boys who had won the nine gold and bronze medals which different friends of the institution have awarded annually to the best soldiers of the battalion. It was a pretty and pathetic picture the young sol diers made as they stepped forward with their faces flushed with pleasure and saluted while the medals were pinned upon their breasts. And it was still more pathetic to see them when they had been led back to the ranks nervously finger the new decorations to read, if possible, their beauty through their finger-tips. HOODOOED. A Wild-Eyed Story About the Antics of a Farmer's Possessions. A dispatch from Pittsburg, Pa, to the Cincinnati Enquirer says: The sun is full of fire, and there is blood on the face of the moon, as Farmer Thomas McKee, of Wilk ins township, in this county, seems to be lieve. His home, two miles from the village of Turtle Creek, has been the scene of some mighty mysterious manifestations. McKee is 60 years old, has lived in this vicinity forty-five years and in his present home twenty years. He is regarded as one of the most reliable and reputable United Presby terians in the country. He, his wife and’a Kiniece aged 15, together with a man. comprise the family. They tell a remarkable story. Each of them |s ready to swear that he or she knows nothing what ever of the cause of certain appearances of witchcraft which have for ten days made their home pandemonium. Ten days ago the trouble began. While all were away from the house, and the doors and windows were fastened, things were tinned topsv-turvy in doors. The family subsequently found their clock and other goods out in tho garden. Each successive day things grew worse. Mrs. McKee four days ago carried one of two cans of cream up from the cellar through the only possible egress, wont right buck for the other and failea to find it. Going up-stairs again, she proceeded to the door-yard and found the can of creatn overturned and empty. There was nobody to be found within three fourths of a mile of the house. On Friday of this week Mrs. McKee and a neighbor were sitting in the house together. Looking up to the wall, they saw that an old hat upon a peg was in flames. They had no sooner thrown it out than a towel on the opposite side of the house began to blaze, though no visible means of ignition existed in tho house, and Mr. McKee had in his pocket out in the field every match upon the premises. There had been a score or more of similar unaccountable fires in the house. Hence Mr. McKee’s precaution. Tliese manifesta tions have nearly driven the family crazy. They have moved things out of the house and guarded the occupied rooms, but all to no avail. The subject, has set tho com munity by the ears. Nobody can have the slightest doubt, except as to the cause. The manifestations in a hundred forms are facta. McKee f* not a supematuralist, yet he doesn’t know what to expect next. “The light that lies. In woman’s eyes,” Is a ray of heaven’s own brightness; but it is, alas! often dimmed or quenched by some wearing 'disease, perhaiis silently borne, but taking F all comfort and enjoyment out of life. That light of tho household can lie re kindlod and made to glow with its natural brightness. Dr. R V. Pierce’s “Favorite Prescription” is a potent specific for most of tho chronic weaknesses and diseases peculiar to women. THE MORNING" NEWS: THURSDAY. JUNE 9. 1887. SOME FACTS ABOUT CREOSOTE. Col. Canady Telia How Wood la Pre served in Water. Col. W. P. Canady, of North Carolina, Sergeant-at*Arms of the UniUxl States Sen ate, besides being a politician, knows a great deal about creosote and how it is made. The Colonel is a tall,fine-looking man, as straight as the pine tree of his State, and full of vim and energy. He gave a New York Mail and Express reporter some facts about creo sote the other dav at the Fifth Avenue Ho tel. He said: “Creosoting wood that has to be used in damp places is the only method to preserve it from the decaving effects of water and the insidious attacks of the teredo worm. Creosote is a general name applied to the products obtained from the de structive distillat ion of wool, coal and other carbonaceous fuels, after the temperature has risen above 200“ or 300° Fahrenheit. The oil thus obtained is termed creosote oil, and is an excellent preservative of wood. The philosophy of its antiseptic and preserva tive qualities is simple. The oil chokes up the pores of the wood, making it solid and preventing the further entrance of air, moisture and life. No germinal life can exist in wood thoroughly ereosoted, and the fatal toredo worm dies from the effect of the oil. You see the oil contains insoluble tar acids, not only antiseptic in their nature, but also possesses the power of calculating the albuminous or fermenting elements of green, sappy or unseasoned wood. How is creosote made from pine? Well, heavily rosined, fatty pine wood, subjected to a heat of 300° to 760° Fahrenheit within closed Iron cylinders, yields by distillation and Condensation an excellent wood creosote oil suitable for the preservation of wood. When this oil is analyzed it is found to con tain about 6 per cent, of tar acids, about 15 per cent, of the lighter oils, and at least 80 per cent, of the heavier oils, insoluble in either fresh, brackish or salt water. Experi ence shows that preservation of timber is mqjbly due to those creosote oils which require over 400° Fahrenheit for their volatilization, and that the pure creo sote, with less tar acids and less light oils, gives the best results. Creosote oil is forced into wood by means of hydraulic pressure. The improvements made upon the old charring processes are very great. There is a carbonized process which takes ordinary open-grained pine timber and subjects it to a dry, radiant heat, within suitable cylindrical surfaces, in such, a manner as to drive out of the timber most of its sap and albuminous matter, dry ing the inside of the timber, charring its outside and leaving the wood with its pores wide open and in condition to be com pletely filled with the oil. This process does not render the timber brittle. How much oil is required ? Sawed lumber onlv requires eight pounds per cubic foot. In logs used for piling twelve pounds of creo sote oil per cubic foot is all that is necessary for its preservation. During the manufac ture of creosote oil a pyroligneous acid is condensed in the still. This acid in its crude and undiluted state is an excellent disinfec tant. The progress made in creosoting tim - ber within the past few years has been so great it would be unfair to predict to what extent it will be carried. Wood will lie made more lasting than any building material.” OLD HICKORY’S WAY. A Reminiscence Showing the Pluck of Jackson. A Frankfort, Ky., dispatch to the Louis ville Courier-Journal says: Judge Isaac J. Faubes, the County Attorney, and a very prominent citizen of Jackson county, is in the city to-day. In a conversation with him about his end of the State, he said: “The Democratic party is constantly in creasing in the mountains. During and right alter the war the Cash Clay spirit took hold of the people, but that is" gradu ally disappearing. I voted for Martin Van Buren when there were but eight Demo crats in the county. Now out of a total of about 1,300 votes the Republican party has only 100 majority. Gen. Buckner and the ticket will receive the full strength of the party. There is no doubt of that. Speaking of my county suggests that I heul the honor of naming it. I was not a mem ber of the Legislature, but the members came to me, and when I groposed the name of Jackson from Old licKory as the name of the county, and Mc- Kee, from Maj. William R. McKee, who fell at Buena Vista, as the name of the county seat, it took like a prairie fire and swept through the assembly with a red-hot enthu siasm. You see I knew Old Hickory person ally. My father served under him at New Orleans in 1814, when my eyes were first opened at Jonesboro, East Tennessee. I’ve seen the bushes many a time behind which Russell Bean concealed himself when Jack son compelled him to answer the summons of the court. Bean did not like the appear ance of his newly-bdm child, which he said did not belong to him, and in his anger he took a knife and slit its ear. He was in dicted by the grand jury and a warrant issued for his arrest. Gen. Jackson was Judge then of that district, and when the' Sheriff reported that he could not arrest the prisoner unless he killed him in the attempt, the Judge said: ’You haven’t summoned the right kind of men to your aid.’ ‘Your Honor.’ said the Sheriff, jocularly, ‘I sum mon you.’ The Judge got otf the bench, without saying another word, went home and buckleil on his pistols, and proceeded alone to a little hill, where Bean was hilling. He oalled Bean and told him he must obey the law. Bean said: ‘Oo way. General, I don’t want to hurt you.’ ‘Deliver yourself up to me at once,’ said the General. Bean(said he would not, when bang wont the pistol. The ball pnased through Bean’s whiskers and grazed his cheek and the scalp, just above the ear. He cried out quickly: ‘Don’t shoot again, General, I’m coming. ’ He was marched to the jail by the General as a special bailiff’, ( who, when he had turned the prisoner over to the jailer, got on the bench and opened court to try the case. Subsequently the prisoner was convicted, and as we had no penitentiary in Tennessee at that time he was ordered to be branded on the right hand with the letter‘M.’ As soon as the branding iron was applied and released, and while the steam was still' arising from the burnt flesh} the<prisoner put his hand to his mouth and bit but a large mouthful of the flesh, and said, ’There, now, take your brand.’ BROWN’S IBON BITTERS.
