Smith in Indianapolis News. Is it simply a wonderful feat of memor izing oris it inspiration? is the question every one who has heard Pascal Porter, the boy preacher, is asking. This prodigy is a product of Jefferson county, and is not 11 years old When not in the pulpit he is the most ordinary of ordinary boys, possessing nothing that would distinguish him from hundred of other boys seeu throughout the country. In fact,’ the cursory observer would place him below the average of In diana boys. While in a state of repose he is listless, with dulJ-looking eyes and express ionless countenance. He walks with an awk ward, shambling gait, not appearing to no tice those things which generally attract the attention of boys of his age. Placed with any dozen boys of bis neighborhood, and he would be chosen out as the stupid one of the lot. Yet this awkward country boy, with his shambling gait, listless air and dull look, is one of the wonders of this century. He is a preacher, and the leading preacher of his peculiar sect, and if his sermons are his own production, he is the leading preacher in Indiana, of any denomination, lie is a lecturer, and, if* his lectures are original, he is far ahead of any man who is now on the platform in this country. This may sound like rhapsody, but it is the ver dict of every one who has heard him. He is a plain country boy, with tittie or no educa tion, and yet in hisserinous and lectures he uses language equal to the most polished and cu.tured of the present day. His thoughts are those of a strong mid original thinker, and his words are well chosen a & those of all others that ought to have been used, expressing bis thoughts clearly and strongly. His sermons are logical in their arrangement, and show a wonderful and most intimate acquaintance with the Holy Scriptures. Not only do his sermons display an inti mate acquaintance with the Bible, but with current history, and he takes up and applies current, events 10 elucidate and make plain his topic and enforce liis teachings. Nor is this all. They display a most remark able comprehension of the Scriptures. When he states a proposition he backs it up and enforces it with quotations fro 1 the Bih.e that are exceedingly well chosen for the pur pose. As I said, out of the pulpit he is the most ordinary of boj-s, but when he enter' the sacred desk a trauformation takes place. His face lights up and fairly glo.vs. His dull eyes fairly sparkle with enthusiasm and intelligence. His awkward and shuffling manner leaves him, and he is anew creature. When he prays it is with a simple, childlike earnestness and deep pathos that melt ail hearts. He prays as if he were askfng favors from one with whom he was on terms of familiar and loving intercourse His God is one who is not afar off, but who is very near, and in whose love he has the suprem est confidence. Hence he prays to Hun as such. His prayers, if uttered in one or our city pulpits, would give the hearers new ideas of what the Saviour meant when he spoke of those who should worship him in the spirit. He announces his text in the same earnest without any apologies or attempts to show off, proceeds at once to elucidate his text. He preaches from his text, and in thisdiffers from most of the preachers of the present day, for their texts are never heard of after the reading of them. In many cases any verse in the Bible would have suited their sermon as well as the text they announced, but it is not so with this boy preacher. His text fur nishes the ground work and foundation of his discourses. He belongs to that peculiar sect inown as “Soul Sleepers.” The doctrine that at the death of tlie body the soul went into sleep and remaiued in that condition uutil the Anal resurrection, when it would be united with the body, obtained an early foothold among the followers of Christ, and num bered among them many earnest advocates. At one time ics truth was affirmed from tho Vatican, and occupied the attention ot more than one of the great councils of the early church. It has but few adherents in this country, and I know of no place where a church organization is maintained but in Jefferson county, in this State, although there are several who preach the belief. Oi the church in Jefferson county Pascal Por ter is the pastor, or preacher. His wonder ful performances are attracting tho atten tion of the people in other States. I re cently received a letter from New Hamp shire asiiing for information concerning him and the doctrines he preaches. As far as I have heard, he is not much given to preaching doctrinal sermons, but preaches just such sermons as would accomplish the work in which Moody and other evangelists are engaged in. One thing is certain —there is not a preacher in In dianapolis who would not gladly father his sermons. He iias receutly delivered two lectures in Madison before large and cultivated audi ences—one on tenij'evance and the other on the history and character of the Jew sh race —that were marvels, and won the unbound ed applause of the audiences. I.ike his ser mons. the lectures were models of style, diction and eloquence, while that on the Jewish race displayed an erudition that as tonished every one. As said before, the language he uses is that of one who has thought long and well, and who has had the aid of scholastic training and extensive reading. Now, where does this boy get all this? He has had uo education, and has had no opportunity for extensive reading. In fact, his chances for information from read ing have been very limited. Are the ser mons and lectures his, or are they the pro duction of some mature and magnificently developed mind, committed to memory by him? It is a puzzling question. In their delivery there are no evidences of memoriz ing. There is nothing mochanietd about the delivery, as may be seen in lengthy recita tion by even the best elocutio: lists. There is no pausing and hunt ing around for a“cue word.” Thei-e are no repetitions or skins, but the whole is s|>oken deliberately and without any seem ing straining, but as if the hoy compre hended the full meaning of all the words he uses and the thoughts to which he gives utterance. If they are memorized, the boy is still a prodigy, for there is not another one of his years, and with os little training as he has had, who can, week after week, commit to memory and recite as perfectly such long discourses. If they are committed, the words and ideas must many times be beyond his comprehension, and any one who has ever tried the experiment knows how hard it is to commit, and recite a thing they do not understand. If they are original, they are nothing short of inspiration. One thing is certain, they are not part original anti ;tart committed, lor the original wou.d show iess thought and less pure diction than the part committed, yet no such breaks are \ found in his sermons or lectures. He is modest and backward, yet the largest audi ence, even of strangers, does not embarrass him. Taken in any way, Pascal Porter is a marvel—a puzzle. EDISON, FRENCH AND THE GIRL. An Adventure Which a Philadelphian Enjoys Relating. Prom the Philadelphia News. A veteran plains man who had met Edi son when he was out West in 1878, tells the following story about Edison, a Philadel phia doctor and a chance patient. He said: “A ranchman came along on his way to Rawlins for ft doctor to see his daughter, who appeared to have lieen suddenly afflict ed by some pe ftiliar disease, the cause and nuture of which puzzled and alarmed the family, who were evidently simple and well moauiug but ignorant people. Seeing such an unusual stir about separation and so many men there he stoppoa and asked if any among ns was a physician Dr. French of Philadelphia was there and volunteered to accompany the mail, so be climtied into the buckboarJ and the mules were turned ranch ward again. ‘‘Several hours later the doctor, who was a great believer in the efficacy of electricity asa medical agent, returned and described the case to us. “The girl, who was about 17 years old and very beautiful in a rude sort of way, had been standing at a sink washing dishes, when she had suddenly leaned forward and remained so, in a kind of cataleptic condi tion until her mother came to her, probably an hour later. “She lutd seemed all right afterward and could not explain exactly how she had been seized. Afterward, another day, the same thing lmd occurred, as she stood hanging out clothes. She had remained with her arms uplifted, in one position, till she had been brought away and aroused. But the oeca sion which had most seriously alarmed them, aaid which had caused the father to bring a phvsician. was that she hnd lain down, and been found in this stupid condition, from which they had failed to arouse her. “Dr. French had worked over her an hour and a half before she recovered the possession of consciousness. But he asserted if he had had a medical electrical battery he could have restored her immedi ately. ' “At this Eilison become quite excited and declared if he could get some o'd cells and a coil from the operator he could pro vide the necessary current. So Ed son rigged up a rjffe kind of battery and went down with French to operate on the girl the next time she had one of her at tacks, “One of the whims of the girl was, when etnerg.ng front her cataleptic state, to grasp whatever was nearest he , so as Edisou bap liened to lie there with the sponge on the back of her ueek treating her to a dose of electricity, she took fast hold of him. Tho father saw this and supposed the girl to lie in love with the elec rician. He and the mother talked the matter over, and came to to the conclusion that the electrical appli ance was a sort of infernal machine or n.iil ter by which this stranger was winning the affections of the girl. “ ‘Soo here, stranger,’ sad the man to Edison, ‘if you mean business all right.’ Edison bowed very gravely, hearing not a word. ‘Cure <he girl up and you can marry her. There’s fifty head o’ cattle you can run off and sell if you want to,as you look mighty seedy yourself. I don’t suppose you’re worth a dime, air ye?’ Edison seeming to under stand that a negative was required, shook uis head at this. “ ‘I thought so; just what I told my wom an. But that gal’s the apple o’ my eye, and if she hankers arter ye she’s goin’ to have ye; and some of’ them men who seem to rather like ye if you air a poor cuss can witness the thing and bring down a Justice.’ “Again Edison bowed. “French then thought it was about time an end was put to the business and hurried the telephone man off to Separation, and the rest of us went down and explained the situ ition to the ranchman, telling him that Edison was deaf and a lunatic, and knew absolutely nothing except a little about elec tricity, which he could show the mother how to apply to the girl in case of a re newal of the attack, which, however, s -emed doubtful, a-, the disease had so swiitly succumbed to the strong measures used “We all chipped in and made up a purse for the girl, Edison heading the list with a big su ii. “The girl married the next year, I found afterward, and is as buxom a woman as you’d wish to s e.” HANGED IN CANADA. Remarkable Inc de it at an Execution Which Took place Many Years Ago. From the .Veic York Commercial Advertiser. I was born in Moutreal and was about 7 years old when the French Canadian rebel lion broke out. Three of tho i ebels were caught, tried, and sentenced to bo hanged. One of th. m was Jules Delacroix, an old man of 60, who occasionally did a hit of work for inv father. Jules had lost his right hand in some manner years before I knew him; it was cut off at the wrist, leaving a smooth round stump. I was present with the crowd on the day of the execution of the three men who were to lie hanged to gether on the same gibbet, feeling a sort of proprietary interest in the whole affair on the strength of my acquaintance with Jules. The gibbet was mad ■of two heavy uprights, with a wide stringpiece across ttie top, over which the three ropes were thrown, for in those times they simply fastened the noose around a mail s neck and pulled h.m up by hand and let him strangle to death, as they do at a western lynching now. Oi.e end of the gibbet was close to and nearly on a level with a shed on which 1 had taken my stand to witness the execution. Well, just as the soldiers were about to pull up the victims a boyish freak possessed me, and I climbed out on the stringpiece, lying flat on my face, and crawled out to the first rope just as the victims were pulled up. I happened to bo directly over Delacroix. As the rope was pulled tip came the writhing body of |K>or Jules till he almost touched the beam above him, on which I cro ched. They had tied his arms behind him, but in hi-, death struggle he managed to pull the stump from its fastening, and, as he found it loose, threw it up and over the beam, and with desp rate strength drew himself up, thus slacking the i oik*, about his neck. I was looking down into his ghastly face, which was so c.ose that I could have touched hint with my hand. His wild, bloodshot eyes looked straight into mine with a pitiful, beseeching glance that haunts uie to t is day. “Ah, mon Dieu! mon Dieu!” lie gaped, as a British soldier caught him by the feet an 1 gave him n pull, his handles* stump lost its hold on the crosspiece, and the poor wretch fell hack to his dentil. No; I never t ink of a man’s hanging but I recollect those wild, staring eyes, and honr the gasping supplication; “Mon Dteul mon Dieu;” “Close the door gently. And bridle the breath: I’ve one of my headaches— I’m sick unto death.” “Take ‘Purgative Pellets,' They’re pleasant and sure; I've some in my pocket, I'll warrant to cure." Dr. Pie ee’s “Pleasant Purgative Pellets” are both preventive and curative. BROKERS.
