THE LEATHERWOOD GOD.
Remarkable Career of Joseph Dylks,
Who Claims to be the Almighty.
From the Cincinnati Times-Star,
The settlement on Leatherwood creek, 0.,
began near Salesvi lie in 180<}. The early
settlers were religious but varied in their
sects, differing from most early settlements,
which were generally attached to one re
ligious creed. There were Methodists, United
Brethren, Presbyterians, etc., among the
Leatherwood settlers, but all embraced the
religion of Jesus Christ in one form or other,
and therefore in 1816 erected a temple on
the hill overlooking Salesville. No regular
pastor was employed and the members were
constant preachers by selection or
volition. It was a temple for the wor
ship of all denominations and soon enough
from this building there proceeded an in
fluence which created with the advance of
emigration to Ohio several religious circuits
and many more churches, some of them be
ing denominational. But in August, 1838,
there was a religious revolution in the com
munity. One Sunday during the camp
meeting season, Rev. John Crum was
giving a United Brethren sermon. In the
midst of it, when the congregation was m
tears and silence, a loud voice shouted,
4 Salvation.”
| The shout came like a crashing peal of
thunder. It was followed by a snort of a
peculiar character, or, as some who heard
it, said, “Like the snort of a frightened
horse.” All this came from a stranger
seated like a statue among the people whom
he had astonished. The preacher stopped.
The people stared. The snorting shouter of
salvation was a stranger. His face was fair
and melancholy, even to the wishes of a
poet. Long, raven locks were combed back
from a broad, low forehead, and foil upon
his broad shoulders like the hair of an In
dian scout. His beaver hat and broad, loth
suit assisted to make him a remarkable
figure iu this community where home spun
material was universal. He said nothing
during the discourse which he had inter
rupted, and which the preacher concluded
i under difficulties. This man was Joseph C.
Dylks. He became the hero of general
curiosity. He was a clever Impostor, and
by maintaining gravity and mystery began
his scheme of playing God.
He lived without expense for many weeks
among the neighbors, who began to worship
him as a mystical being.
He joined in the meetings by contributing
hi. shouts of salvation and his peculiar snort,
which is described as a thrilling sound, caus
ing a sensation “like that when greatly
scared in the da k.”
Dylks used but one hymn in his meet
ings—
“ Plunged in a gulf of deep despair
We wretched sinners lay. ’
He prayed not long but with sententious
effect.
His sermons were short and simple. To
his friends in private he deigned to reveal
himself as a god, saying that he had come
into the congregation in his spiritual form,
but had taken on mortality, clothes and all,
and had chosen to setup his kingdom, on
the millenium style, right here on Leather
wood creek. To the credulous creek farm
ers Dylks imposed a tale of his remarkable
heritage both of heaven and earth, and de
clared that no one could touch him without
permission—not a hair on his head could be
taken from him, although he had plenty to
spare. “With one shout and one snort I can
snuff out the universe as you snuff out a
candle,” said the impostor, and the foolish
people believed him.
Michael Brill, Robert McCormick and
John Brill believed in the rascal more fully
than their neighbors. McCormick was a
sort of preacher and took Dylks along on a
gospel tour. After this trip McCormick
told a startling story of supernatural ap
pearances during the journey. He saw a
halo around the head of Dylks, and in the
midst of a hot day, McCormick suddenly
became cold.
“You ate Paul, the Apostle,” said Dylks.
“Meddle again in men's affairs,” said the
impostor. “The perfect work is done,” he
concluded, and thon he gave up his snort
and shout. With this nonsense the two
came back and converted the community to
Dylks as the Messiah. Two men stood
against fanaticism, George Brill and
Janies Foreacre, an ancestral relative of our
Ohio Governor. They protested against the
impostor, and without avail. The Dylksites
captured the Temple, and in it the Leather
wood God proclaimed: “lam God and the
Christ united. In me, Father, Son and Holy
Ghost are met. There is no salvation for
men save in me. Those who trust in me
shall never die but be translated.”
Then the converts shouted: “We shall
never die.” There was a tumult and a scene
approaching a riot, for some sensible folks
were disgusted with blasphemy. “Behold
our God,” said McCormick, and the weaker
brethren all fell down and Worshiped the
pretender. The skeptical demanded a mira
cle. Dylks promised to make a seamless
garment if the cloth was furnished. Mrs.
Prilley believed in Dylks, and secretly
brought the cloth, which Dylks never con
verted into a suit.‘and his failure was the be
ginning of his downfall.
Once later on McCormick remarked: “I
shall never see Corruption. Mr. Brill, you
cannot shoot me.” Brill was a heretic and
jumped for his rifle, but McCormick lagged
off. A preacher named Biggs had the cour
age to condemn the imposition, and had a
riot at the temple for calling the Dylks’ fever
“a fal lal lal.”
“He is my God,” exclaimed the Dylkeites
and the meeting was broken up. Mary Gif
ford, a girl of 17, was passionately devoted
to Dylks and her father saw it with sorrow.
She resixmded to her lather’s entreaties bv
promising to renounce Dylks if a single lock
of his hair could be cut off and given to her.
Dylks, you know, had boasted that not a
hair of liis head could lie harmed. Gifford,
w ith the Foreacre named a few lines back,
resolved to scalp the pretender if necessary,
and so a party was organized to catch him
as they would catch ahorse thief. Foreacre
seems to have had the grit which has been
manifested by later members of the family,
for lie promised to “have Dylks or die in the
attempt.” Dylks was caught crouching in
a chimney corner and was dragged out of
the house by that famous hair.
A long tress was cut off with a jack-knife
and taken to Mary Gifford, who repented of
her folly and became a faithful follower of
Christianity. Dylks was taken before
Squire Frame, whose descendants are now
worthy people in this section, and for claim
ing to be God Dylks was taken to Squire
Ornstat at Washington, Guernsey county.
This able dispenser of justice was Ixithered
for precedents and law, and finally had to
acquit Dylks by saying that every man in
this country has a right to worship as be
chooses. Dylks had to flee, followed by a
mob, who failed to hit him with stones and
w ere only sorry they did not have guns.
Dylks kept in seclusion and was sought like
an escaped beast from a circus.
Finally ho wan found in the St. Clair
thicket. While a crowd was being collected
to capture him he suddenly disappeared.
Later on he came into a meeting at Michael
Brill’s, and told the few faithful followers
that he could not establish his kingdom
here, but had determined to move it to
Philadelphia. There a “New Jerusalem”
was to bo erected. The houses #dre to be of
diamonds, the streets of gold, and the gates
of silver; green velvet would cover the
pavements, and tho faithful would ride in
chariots of crimson drawn by horses which
needed no drivers.
There was to be an automatic band of
10,0)0 instruments, so that “the souls of tho
aved would bo swelled with ineffable de
light.” The journey was undertaken.
The brethren questioned as to expense*.
Dylks pulled out Hires coppers and declared
them sufficient, as they would produce mil
lions by magic. McCornilcK and Brill
started out for Philadelphia, and the coppers
held out because these three tramps poached
and beggod. When near Philadelphia Dylks
left them, saying that they would meet
where the light of heaven would shino
brightest in the city. Alas, for tho deluded
brethren the light neVer shone. It wus be
fore the days of electric light or natural gas,
and the poor apostles, without money or
friends, begged their way back. They con
cealed nothing, and while regretting the
treachery of Dylks still believed in him, and
expected some day to witness the New Jeru
salem, crimson chariots and aIL
The community has never recovered from
the snort of the impostor until death; the
“faithful” believed in him, and no doubt
to-day many of their descendants cherish
a secret hope that the pretensions of Dylks
may not nave been in vain. Davis, who
had gone with Dylks, did not come buck for
seven years. He returned in good clothes
and preached a sermon, saying therein that
he had seen Dylks ascend to heaven for a
short visit, and that he was to return.
Davis was never seen again, nor was Dylks.
The apostles lived in the faith and died but
a few years ago. The Leather wood temple
was ever after the scene of religious discord,
and you will find old men and women yet,
here and scattered over the country, who
believe that Dylks was either God or closely
connected with his kingdom. As an im
postor Dylks resembled Joe Smith, the Mor
mon saint, but lie had no methods of success
in any original and deep designs.
HAIR OIL AND HAIR DYE.
Very Few Men Use Them Nowadays-
Gray Hair Rather Fashionable.
From the Washinqton Star.
“Very few men want oil on their hair
nowadays,” said a barber to a reporter. “A
few years ago the man who didn’t use hair
oil was the exception; now the man who
does use it is the exception. Of course we are
glad of tjtie change in taste, for it is money
in our pockets. Five years ago I had to
have a fresh supply of oil twice a week;
now the same quantity will last me a
month.”
“Howabout dyeing the hair and beard?’
the reporter asked.
“There has been a greater falling off in
the use of dye than in the use of hair oil,”
the barber continued. “A few years ago
there was a large class of gav old fellows
who dyed their hair and whiskers almost as
regularly as they shaved. Most of these
men were more or less inclined to be sports
or beaus, and always wanted to look as
young as possible. Others, however, were
respectable and steady-going citizens and
business men, who gave in to their vanity
enough to want to Keep looking young.
There was a lar ye class of out-and-out gam
blers and sharpers, who seemed to have an
idea it was out of keeping with their pro
fession to have anything but jet black whis
kers and moustaches. So that nearly all
gamblers or ’sports’ who had red or sandy
hair on their face, or on their head, for that
matter, used to have it dyed regularly as
black as they could get it. A few of these
are still around town. It’s easy enough
to tell them, because their "eyebrows
don’t match the rest of the hair on then
face.”
“So you don’t have much use for hair dye
nowadays?" the reporter interrogated to
keep up the flow of tonsorial reminiscences
and reflections which, contrary to the tradi
tions of the craft, seemed to show signs of
drying up.
“No, indeed. When a man comes along
now and asks to have his moustache or hair
dyed he usually catches us unprepared, and
if we have any dye on hand at all it gener
ally takes a good while to hunt it up and
get the bottle dusted off. I think we have
only one regular customer in that line now,
and he isn’t an old man,either. He is a young
fellow whose hair is black, or nearly black,
while his eyebrows and lieard are sandy.
He has his whiskers and eyebrows dyed to
match his hair regularly twice a month.”
“But young men don’t seem to care nowa
days if their hair and beard are gray. In
fact, they seem to be rather proud of it.
When they really begin to grow old—that
is, when tiiey get within a few laps of 50—
they get sensitive about it, however, and if
they are not bald frequently inquire as to the
means for preventing the hair from turning
gray, etc.
“Oh, yes, a great many men use cosmetic
ou their moustaches,” the barber continued,
in response to a suggestion. “In fact, there
are very few who don’t use it. Some time
ago most men wouldn’t let a barber
put any powder on their faces after shaving.
Now nearly all ask for it. It’s laughable
how particular some men are about their
hair. No matter how much care the barber
takes about combing and brushing it, they
are never satisfied, but always insist on tak
ing the comb and brush themselves and ar
ranging it just so, with every hair lying in
a certain position.
“Old customers? I’ve got three that I
have shaved and sheared for seventeen years
I think, without ever missing a shaving day,
except when they were out oi town, or I was
sick, for over a week. They won’t, under
any consideration, let any one else touch
them, unless they know I won’t be around
for three or four days. One of them let his
beard grow a couple of times when business
compelled him to be out of the city for a
long time. They wait for me for hours when
there are several ahead of them and very
often miss their shaving dev rather than al
low another barber to touch their faces. A
man with a tender* skin is about as big a
crank on the subject of barbers and razors
as you can imagine.”
CALLING ON THE POPE.
The Patient Waiting Necessary to
Secure Audience at the Vatican.
From the New York Epoch.
To obtain an audience with the Pope re
quires much influence and patient waiting.
Provided with a letter of introduction to
Monsignor Machi, the grand chamberlain,
the applicant presents himself at the stately
entrance of the Vatican at three in the
afternoon. Here he is met by one of the
Swiss Guard, composed only of young gen
tlemen of distinguished families. No other
military are seen at the Vatican. Upon
presenting the letter of introduction the
visitor is politely requested to ascend two
steep flights of stairs, which lead to an ante
room, where are a dozen or more visitors
from as many parts of the world.
After waiting perhaps an hour or more,
your turn comes and you are allowed to
enter the presence of the secretary of the
Grand Chamberlain, to whom you offer
your letter of introduction. He receives it
smilinglv, says a few polite words, enters
your name and address in a large book,
after which you are expected to retire and
allow the next applicant to enter. Should
your application be successful, within a few
weeks you will lie notified of the day and
hour when you will be admitted to an audi
ence. When presented to the Pope, etiquette
requires that gentlemen should appear in
full evening dross without gloves; ladies
must wear black silk.

Xkw Bloomfiki*d, Miss., Jan. i, 1880.
Hop liUtter#Co.:
1 wish to sa> to you that I have been suffering
for the last live years with a severe itching all
over. I have heard of Hon Bitters and have tried
it. I have used up four bottles, and it has done
me more tochl than all the doctors and medicine*
that they could use on or with me. lam old and
jkhu*, but feel to bless you for such a relief from
your medicine and torment of the doctors. I
have had fifteen doctors at me. One gave me
seven ounces of solution of arsenic; another took
four quarts of blood from me. All they could
tell was that it was styn sickness. Now, after
these four bottles of your medicine, I am well
and my skin is well, clean aud smooth as ever.
HENRY KNOOHB.
(loon \\ orivst From Good Avthoezty. * *
* Ue confess that we are perfectly amazed
at the run of your Hop Bitters. We never had
anything like it. and never heard of the like.
1 he writer (Benton) has been selling drugs hen*
nearly thirty years, and has seen the rise of
Hostetler's Vinegar, and all other bitters and
1 vat cut medicines, but never did any of them, in
their best days, begin to have the run that Hop
Bitters have. * * We can't get. enough of
them, We are out of them half the time. * *
rmm letter to Hop Bitters Cos. from Bknton,
Mykrßs 00., Wholesale Druggists, Cleveland, O.
Good for Babies. “We are pleased to say
that our baby waa permanently cured of a seri
ous protracted irregularity of the bowels by the
use of Hop Bitters by its mother, which at the
same-time restored her to perfect health and
strength.”—-The Parents.
MISERABLENESS.
The most wonderful and marvelous success, in
eases where persons are sick or pining away
from a condition of miserableuesH that no one
knows what ails them (profitable patients for
doctors) is obtained by the use of liop Bitters.
They begin to euro from the first dos<\ ami keep
it up until perfect health aud strength is re
stored.
WIGKED FOR CLERGYMEN.
“I believe it to be all wrong and even wicked
for clergymen or other public men to be led into
giving testimonials to quack doctors or vile
stuffs called medicines, but when a really meri
torious article is made up of common valuable
remedies known to all, and that all physicians
use and trust in doily, we should freely com
mend it. I therefore cheerfully ami heartily
commend Hop Bitters for the good they have
done me aud my friends, firmly believing they
have no equal for family use. I will not l>e with
out them. —Rev. E. R. Warren, Scipio, N. Y.
A Good Account.—‘‘To sum it up, six long
years of bedridden sickness and suffering, cost
ing S3OO per year, total $1,300, all of which was
stopped by three bottles of Hop Bitters taken
by my wife, who has done her own housework
for a year since without the loss of a day, ami I
want everybody to know It for their benefit.”—
John Weeks, Butler.
Never Forget This.
If you arc sick Hop Bitters will surely aid
Nature in making you -well when all else
fails.
If you are costive or dyspeptic, or are
suffering from any other of the numerous
diseases of the stomach or bowels- it is your
own fault if you remain ill, for Hop Bitters
is a sovereign remedy in all such complaints.
If you are wasting away with any form
of Kidney Disease, stop tempting Death this
moment, and turn for a cure to Hop Bitters.
If you are nervous use Hop Bitters.
If you art- a frequenter, or a resident of a
miasmatic district, barricade your system
against the scourge of all countries—mala
rial, epidemic, bilious and intermittaut
fevers—by the use of Hop Bitters.
If you have rough, pimply or sallow skin,
l>ad breath, pains and aches, and feel miser
able generally, Hop Bitters will give you
fair slun, rich blood, and sweetest breath
and health.
That poor, bedridden, invalid wife, sister,
mother or daughter cmi be made the picture
of health with Hop Bitters, costing but a
trifle. Will you let them suffer!
In short they cure all Diseases of the
Stomach, Bowels, Blood, Liver, Nerves,
Kidneys, Bright’s Disease. One thousand
dollars will be paid for a case they will not
