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." Though Sam i- Smalt, he’s wowing tall. Amt branching in the grove of fame; He s big in heart ami brain—and all That’s Small about him is his name. 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 •i‘l led tiieni and made tin* night rosy with their glare —then .spiking-the guns they could not move, went about six miles on Bhe Shelbyville pike from the city and camped.

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 kness, took the position as a figure im 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 minutes after the figureol prayer had as sumed a recumbent position, and uttei a brisk rubbing of the knees, dropped to the ground and skulled oft to the camp, lb* got into camp just in time for roll call next morning, and when asked by las companions what lie did with him self, said: “Played monument for a set of d —n fools over a man that s been dead a quarter of a century. napoleon’s fortune. 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.
