SAM SMALL ON
llm% J'liH'.s the Attention of 11.
Rot ;<iii se,
Tho two Georgia evangelists, Jones
and Small, were engaged reeetilly in
leading the at Deering Camp
Ground, in Kentucky. Mr. Small, an
•ex-journalist liimseif, was sought out by
a reporter of the Lexington Transcript.,
and submitted to be interviewed. The
following account of the interview was
published in the Transcript:
“Jones is a wonderful man,” he told
tin* reporter, leaning 1 back in his chair.
“His versalitv is perhaps his most re
markable trait. A mistaken notion ex
ists in the minds of many that Sam
Jones is an uncouth, half educated man.
Few men have mastered the Bible and
the works ot religious writers as he has.
All the teachings of modern philosophers
lluxlev, Tyndall, John Stuart Mill,
and Herbert Spencer —are as familiar to
him as 1 he text ot Holy Writ.
“Once during my newspaper career 1
saw Andy Johnson face a mob of two
thousand people, hostile to him, and
1 hirsting for his blood. They jeered and
hooted at him, but the great Tennessee
commoner defied them. He mounted the
stand, and by his eloquence swayed and
molded their throng, until within two
lours from the tinny lie began speaking,
Johnson had that same multitude throw
ing up their lints and swearing they
would vote for him.
“Two years ago I saw Sam Jones face
an audience equally as hostile, but whose
hostility was equally as decided as that
of the mountaineers of Tennessee, it
was, however, of the cold, critical, cyni
cal, skeptical order. He had been in
vited to deliver a lecture in Tremont
Temple, Boston. It was the first time I
ever heard Sam Jones express any mis
givings about the result of his speaking.
1 here were thousands in the vast au
ditorium that evening—learned profes
sors, and doctors of divinity from Vale
and Cambridge, noted literary people,
and erudite men and women of the class
only to lx* found in cultured Boston.
1 hese were the kind of people who never
go a second time to hear the speaker if
there is nothing in him. There they
were, thousands of them, assembled to
hear the wild and woolly parson from
Oeorgia, as some of their newspapers
had described him, prepared to be merci
less in their judgments, and ready* f<>
stare him out of countenance soon as he
opened his mouth. Jones walked leisure
ly to the middle of the stage. He gazed
for a minute deliberately around at that
wilderness of human icicles. Then he
threw his left hand slowly up, brushed
L.k.u Kw lm'u- to inait the magnetism
and begun. You should have seen those
icicles melt beneath the warm rays of his
eloquence, and become resolved into
waves of rippling laughter beneath the
wand of his breezy, genial humor. 3t
as as if a miraeh had been wrought.
Inside of five minutes from the time the
man from Carfersville begun his lecture,
he had that audience of cultured men
and women in the hollow of iris hand, as
it v,ore, to melt them to tears, to pro
voke them to laughter, or to fill them
with lofty emotions as he willed. Sam
Jone.s proved that lie had the gift to in
teres! tlxyesthetie Bostonese as power
fully as he had before interested tin*
lumbermen of Michigan, the muckers of
Georgia end tin* cowboys of the Western
pluiiis. It was a wonder! and triumph.
And now whenever Mi*. J-ones is an
nounced to preach or to lecture in Bos
ton, no building j n that city is large
enough to hold the people who flock to
see him."

A lluse that Saved a Man From Captu
WiHetirus Republican,
It was February ’Ol when Johnson’s
army 1 Hissed through Washville on that
famous change of front that gave him
his death at Shiloh. In his retreat the
Tth Ala. Batalliou, under Fob Bob Cot
fait, Moods Brigade; was hurried
ba< k to a fort three miles below Xash
vill, named for thai great iy beloved gener
al—Kollieofler. The entire army, except
Morgan’s squadron, wen* on towards
Shelby tide, i hat night a telegram was
flashed over the wires to this effect:
“Xashvil eis safe. She is guarded the
immortal Tth Ala." And that was
enough. The 7th staged in Fort Zollicof-
Jei until the camp-fire of Buell army en

miles on Bhe Shelbyville pike from the
city and camped. In this earn;* they re

following. They being unarmed were
unable to hurt him. but their yelling
brought op the guard. George moved for
the camp and making up Cherry street,
dodging into alleys and bank yards, he
at last readied the old cemetery and
jumped the fence. Ihe yanks saw and
followed him there; but here lie eluded
them. In the cemetery stood a monu
ment erected t?o an old revolutionary or
Indian fighter, Gen. Campbell. He reach
ed this, climbed to the top, fell on his

ploring the blessings of heaven on the
country the grand old cadaver beneath
had loved so well, remained as a portion
of the work. The y ankees passed all
around, looked into the dead house, and
one or two sat at the base of the work,
while one struck a match and read the
incription. The Alabama boy on the top
kept his nerve and won the game. His
pursuers were absent without leave and
were afraid to stay, so they left. In t< n

What Became of the Immense Wealth
* Gartered hy the Corsican.
Philadelphia, Ledger.
One of the most remarkable historical
incidents of this century was the disap
pearance of the First NapoleorCsfortune.
In 1810 he was far and away the richest
individual in the world. He came out ol
the Italian campaign ending in 1800
with $4,000,000, according to his own
account. This he maintained was his
private propery. Taking the statements
he made to his friends and others at St.
Hidden away when he left Fiancee the
last time the enormous sum of $40,-
000,0(H), or 200,000,000 francs! This
would make him very much the wealthiest
man in the world, for the sum then was
equal in influence to $200,000,000 now
No sovereign of his time could begin to
approach him in personal fortune. Mar
shal Soult, the last of the Imperial Mar
shals (who died in November, 1851, just
about a year before his great antagonist,
the Duke of Wellington), told a venera
ble French general officer, who repeated
it to the writer, that when the Emperor
went to Elba he had 00,000,000 francs
covered up in Paris alone.
Of the $12,000,000 hard cash paid
over at one time by tin* United States to
Napoleon as first consul in 1800, it was
common rumor —not very general, you
mav be sure, however —that 7,500,000
francs of the sum never accounted
for in vouchers. This might easily have
been. Napoleon was then first consul
for life. He could do just what he chose,
and nobody dared call him to account.
It is not very difficult to hide money* in
large sums, too, so it cannot be found,
be tlx* search ever so careful. Ferdinand
Ward has some millions thus covered up,
and no human being has ever yet found
a clue to the stolen treasure. !t was
said and believed by many people, too,
that Stephen Girard, of Philadelphia,
had a large sum of money in his hands
belonging to Napoleon 1., which lie would
have handed over t o him had he succeed
ed in getting away to tire United States
after Waterloo, as lie tried to do. Louis
XYIII., through his minister of finance,
did all in his power to discover this hid
den treasure, but those who fpiew would
never tell. They probably* took it them
selves when the emperor died in 1821
But it is a very interesting and roman
tic story, the disappearance absolutely*
of the greatest fortune, in the world’s
history up to that time, leaving not a
trace behind.
