MB. MOODY'S MANAGER. Fe Talk j Pleasantly About tho Char aeteiistlc-s of the Great Revivalist. r'rotn the Louisville < I nicit-y-JouvUiil. Mr. Tin-mus K. Cree. of Now York, man ager nml assistant of Itov. D. L. Moody, is iu tho city, ai ranging for the coining of the great evangelist. Mr. Cree, who is the guest of Mr. John B. McFerrati, was seen last evening by a reporter, and talked pleasantly of Mr. Moody and his work. Mr. tree has been associated with Mr. Moody in his labors for the past reu years, assist ing at his principal revival meetings at Philadelphia, Chicago, and elsewhere, as manager and aiding in the inquiry-room. “Mr. Moody is now holding a very suc cessful meeting at Pittsburg,” said Mr. Cree, “and will remain there until the holi days. Thence he will go to Northfield, Mass., his home, and spend the holiday sea son with his family. He will reach Louis ville about Jan. 1, and will remain here a month, as at present arranged. We are anticipating a very successful meeting here. Mr. Moody considers Louisville and Balti more among the most moral of the larger cities. He was here for two or three days about three years ago attending a Christian convention, "but did no evangelistic work. “Mr. Moody,” continued Mr. Cree, “is in fine health and condition. He is seldom, if ever, sick, and during all of his twenty-five years of religious work I don’t think he hus missed three engagements on account of stckne6s. He is a very large man, weighing about 350 pounds, and has powerful lungs and a splendid voice. He is not susceptible to cold, and rarely suffers from hoarseness or huskiness of voice. However large the building, no difficulty is exfierienced in hear ing him even in the rear seats. WHERE HIS GREATNESS LIES. “Mr, Moody’s great strength ns a Chris tian worker lies in his knowledge of the Bible, his earnestness, his sincerity, his sim plicity and his groat sympathetic nature. His remarkable faculty of aptly illustrating by incidents is also one of his great ele ments of strength. These incidents are mostly of his own experience, and are most effectively narrated. When he opens work in anew field, the first audience, it can be plainly seen, gathers mainly to judge the man. After the first one or two meetings, criticism of his motives and methods is laid aside, and admiration of and devotion to the man take possession of those who gather to listen to liis earnest but simple words. 1 ‘He sways vast bodies of people as no mod ern evangelist ever has. and his sympathy with his hearers is so close and so warm that people are drawn instinctively to him. When he is pleading with the people, and re lates a pathetic incident by way of illustra tion, thousands of heads are bowed in silent weeping. A STYLE NOT TO BE DESCRIBED. “No one has ever yet been able to de scribe accurately Mr. Moody, his mode of work, and the nature of his sermons. He never writes a sermon. I have known him to go upon the platform with his discourse arranged in his mind, and then deliver an entirely different sermon because he found a different audience than that he was expect ing to address. He is often wonderfully elo quent, but he employs only the simplest language, and deals m no stilted rhetoric or flowery figures of speech. His addresses are remarkable, from the fact that they are alike suited to all classes. I have seen upon the platform with him the President of the United States, Cabinet Ministers, United States Senators, Congressmen, college Presidents and tho most distinguished doc tors ot divinity, and they were as visibly impressed with his power as were the hum blest hod-carrier and coal-heaver in the au dience. HIR RECEPTION IN ENGLALD. “In England Mr. Gladstone, Mr. Bright and other such leading men attended his meetings, and his sermons were apparently as enjoyable to them as to the masses in the audience. Men and women, young and old, rich and poor, sit side by side at his meetings, and his converts are from all classes and all walks of life. “Mr. Moody has addressed 30,000 people at a time. At Philadelphia, where his hall seated about 14,000, thousands were turned away at each meeting. The doors were opened at intervals, that those who wished to do so might leave, and very few of the vast audiences ever stirred. Supreme ouie t always reigns and the interest never flags. “Mr. Moody always confines his services to one hour's duration, and his sermons are usually about thirty minutes long. Yet upon special occasions I have known him to preach for two and even three honre, and the people were always glad to listen. On Sunday he usually holds three and some times five services, and upon the week days two services, exeeut upon Saturday, when he holds none. W'e always have choirs of 800 or 400 voices, which are trained in ad vance. A gentleman will shortly reach Louisville for the purpose of organizing and training such a choir in advance of Mr. Moody's coming. We also wish to secure the services of about 100 young men to act as ushers. Mr. Moody has, or late years, engaged in short revival meetings, but he will remain in Louisville lougor than is his custom, ou account of the extensive prepa rations that have been made.” HIS OLD PARTNER. “What has become of Mr. Sankey, Mr. Moody’s former co-laborer;” was asked. “He is now In Brooklyn, his home, and is busy with the preparat ion of anew hymn book. Ho is still connected, in a degree, with Mr. Moody’s work, but do considera ble evangelistic work himself, and has been very successful." Mr. Moody is in his 51sv year, and has been engaged in evangelistic work twenty five years. He is married and has three children. He was born at Northfield, Mass., and was converted at Boston. He removed to Chicago, and engaged, in early life, in the shoe business. He soon after engaged in religious work under the Young Men’s Christian Association, and rapidly developed into a powerful evangelist. He first visited England about ten years ago, and met with great success in the face of violent opposition. Upon his return to this country, invitations from all the leading cities poured in upon him, and the subse quent success of his work has I teen uninter rupted and his history is well known. He again visited England three years ago. DONATION3 FOR SCHOOLS AND CHRISTIAN WORK. Mr. Moody has donated a gitent deal of money to the founding of schools and other Christian work. He has devoted all the royalty from the sale of his hymn-book, amounting to over #400,000, to such pur poses. Ho has founded at Mount Herman, Mass., a school for young men, with about 300 attendants from all parts of the world, many of the students being prepared for mission work. Ho has also established at Northfield. Mass., a large school for young women, who are being prepared for service as missionaries, teachers and Christian workers. The buildings of the two schools cost over $500,000. They are sustained largely by donations and money raised by Mr. Moody. After the conclusion of the meeting hero Mr. Moody will go to the Pacific coast to hold similar meetings. “Blood Will Tell." Yes, the old adage is right, but if the liver is disordered and the blood becomes thereby corrupted, the bad “blood will tell” in diseases of the skin and throat, in tumors and ulcere, and in tubercles in the lungs (first stages of consumption) even although the subject be descended in a straight line from Richard Coeur de Lion, or the noblest Roman of them all. For setting the liver in order no other medicine in the world equals Dr. Pierce’s "Golden Medical Discov ery." Try it, and your "‘blood will tell” the story of its wonderful effloacy.

Texas (Cor.) of the Ketc Orleans Picayune. There was a noisy sort of a to-do in the ear as we entered it. Our baskets and satch els and biuidles were seized and deposited in handy places: open windows were pulled down: some coal was shoveled into the already red-hot stove; a fat man was un ceremoniously hustled out of his place by the fire, and the seat brushed off, and a chorus of voices demanded to know what more could be done to make us com fortable. 1 sank upon the seat and gazed bewildered into the ring of faces gathered about me. They were fresh, boyish faces, frank and pleasant-looking, but I had never seen one of them before. I gradually came to undei - stand that this crowd of cowboys, on their way to the Dallas fair, were simply trying to be kind to a forlorn, cold, wet, lone wom an and a tired child. There were eight or ten of them. They wore enormous watcbchains freighted with dangling charms; their wide hats were pro fusely embroidered with silver cord: tneir pockets were stuffed with silver dollars which they were eager to spend. They laughed at everything and everybody, and most of all at themselves and their own not always highly polished jokes. They chaffed the “train butcher,” ahd were eminently tickled over his mildly remonstrant replies; they pounced upon "The Story of a Cow boy” in his collection of books and read portions of it aloud with mighty guffaws of delight. When tha agent of a new fangled washing machine came around handing about his circulars, they grinned knowingly, and one of them observed that he knowed of a wasliin’ machine out in Haskell county that was eighteen year old and gittin’ better every year. “Her name is Lizzie Marts,” he added, solemnly, wink ing with one eye at the washing-machine man and at me with the other. And then they all slapped their kuees and roared again. I tried to be stiff and dignified with the youngsters; but, dear me, the sunniness of them would have melted an iceberg, and long before it was time to open the lunch basket, stuffed to the brim by Light-in-the- Heart’s careful hands, I was hobnobbing gaily with them and had promised to make the round of their ranches next summer; I had half-way agreed to accept a pair of ponies out of a “bunch” in the freight car going to the fair; had heard how one home sick boy sometimes cried over his mother's letters and how another “wished he hadn’t been away from home and left Dad the bag to hold.” Moreover I knew ail about Lizzie Maria, even to the color of her hair! I left them at Waco; they escorted us out, bag and baggage, and rushed back to throw up the car window and halloo a noisy good by as the train moved away from the dark and wet piatform. “Don't forget them papers you promised me.” “I’ll have you a daisy team broke in by next summer, and don’t yoa forget it!” “Be sure and come now.” “Bring Pearl!” “And Polly Cologne!’’ God’s blessings go with you wherever you may go, my bonny lads! May your horses never fall lame! May your cattle never stampede! May there be always a bit of bacon to your" frying-pans anil coffee to your coffeepot! May the love-lit eyes of your washing-machines never grow dim and their brown hands never forget their cunning. Only One. There is but one SOZODONT. It has no counterpart.

Checkering if- Sons; Gentlemen —About; two years ago I had occasion to use one of your 'Concert Grand Pianos. At the time I was so much ini pressed with its general excellence that I have continued using your pianos both for my concerts and for my own private use since. This has been done with the greatest satis faction to myself, and I can truly say that my decision has been justified by the re sults. Your pianos possess in a superlative degree all the excellence required in a first-class piano. While retaining the wonderful sing ing quality for which the Chickering Piano has always been so justly celebrated, and has held the highest position in the art in dustries, you have gained the maximum of power, still retaining the even balance of the scale throughout ail the registers. These qualities combined with the perfec tion of the action and general mechanism have placed your pianos, in my estimation, at the head of the pianos of the day. and enables me to say with enthusiasm that I prefer them to any other make.
