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. MEDICAL. ißgguT^ggj THE SYMPTOMS are a Litter or liad taste in mouth, pain in the back,sides or joints, often mistaken for Rheu matism; sour stomach, loss of nmietlte, bowels alternately costive and lax, headache; loss of memory, with a painful sensation of having failed to do something which ought to have been done; debility, low spirits, u thick yellow appearance of the skin anil eyes; u dry cough often mistaken for Consumption. Sometimes manv of these symptoms attend the disease, at othere very few: hut the Liver, the largest organ in the fxxly.

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!
