Clarksburg Special to Chicago Intcr-Occan.
The Rev. John T. Johnson, the cele
brated mountain evangelist, who 1ms
been traveling through the State for
nearly forty years, states that during
a revival at Round Bottom, Monon-
gahela county, n young man of that
place, who hod been ill with consump
tion for some time, died, descended
into hell■ nml returned to life in an
hour, and, after describing his torrid
trip, embraced religion, nml again
died happily, in the full belief of Ills
future salvation.
After stntlng that the young man,
who was one of the most intelligent
in the county, wns a sceptic, Mr.
Johnson says:
“He wns apparently lying at the
point of dentil. The Rev. Mr. O’Dnn-
iels and myself were called upon to
endeavor to bring him to Christ.
“While Mr. O’Dnniels wns talking to
him, holding him by the hand, l\e
seemingly expired, and was pro
nounced dead by all in the room. He
remained in this condition for some
time, when lie suddenly began breath
ing heavily, and then struggling as
though with some mighty monster.
“Hu seemed endowed with superhu
man strength, and it required the ut
most exertions of several powerful
men to keep Him on the bed. The
struggle continued for an hour, when
ho calmed down and regained senses,
requesting that we sing and pray
with him.
“After the exercises were over, lie
told us that when he became insensi
ble to enrtli lie found himself at the
brink of a yawning, bluck chasm.
Lurid fires seemed to be burning at a
great distance dowiij and shrieks of the
most unearthly kind greeted his cars.
“After remaining quiet a short time
he felt a thread by his hand. He
grasped ft, and had hardly done so
when a mighty wind struok his body,
almost tearing his limbs out of their
sockets, nml dashing him down into
the month of the pit, where he swayed
from side to aide, clinging to the
thread which alone kept him from
falling to the flames below.
“He knew that should the thread
break or lie lose Ills grasp he was
doomed forever, and he thought to
himself: 'I have been a sceptic, and
God Almighty is showing me that
there is a hell of darkness and fire to
which unbelievers are exposed,’ and
lie grasped the thread the tighter.
“After what Beemed to him an inter
minable time the wind (jpased, and ho
knew nothing until lie requested the
ministers to pray for him. Shortly
after his return to life,” Mr. Johnson
continued, “he made his peace with
God, and after giving full directions
regarding his burial, bidding his
friends good-by and requesting Mr.
O’Daniels when lie officiated, at his
funeral to relate Ills remarkable ex
perience for the benefit of others, died
practically in his Saviour’s arms."
That Messrs. Johnson, O’Daniels
and others who witnessed this strange
affair believe actually in the super
natural occurrence is unquestioned.
They are all persons whose veracity is
beyond question, and even the physi
cians assert the young man was actual
ly dead.
The narration £of the story Jot the
funeral caused considerable excite
ment, and the people are flocking to
the churches throughout the neighbor
hood. Meetings hnvc been held day
and night since Thursday, the day
upon which the young man was buried.
It is said that the final request of
tile man was that n report of his fex-
perience be published broadcast, so
that all men might know there was a
hell.

Th«* Nml Tnlc of a Dog Thai Couhtu'l
ItCMiwt Temptation.
St. Maky’s, O., March 14.—Until
this morning Charles Baker owned Ja
hound. He was a good coon dog and
kind to the children, and had the re
spect and confidence of the neighbor
hood.
About 10 o’clock Mrs. Barber made
some light biscuits, set them behind
the Btove to rise, and went visiting,
leaving Towser alone. Towser saw
those biscuits. He was only canine
after all and lie couldn’t resist the
temptation. He ate those raw bis
cuits.
^frs. Barker always made good
yeast. Those biscui ts continued to at
tend strictly to business—they kept
ri^ht On rising. Soon Towser began
to think he had made a mistake. His
suspicion was confirmed an hour later
when a* muffled explosion in the
kitchen startled passers-by and caused
them to make an investigation. Tow
ser had exploded. The same unkind
fate that had robbed Mr. Barber of a
mess of warm biscuits for . supper had
deprived |him (of£his favorite coon
dog.

A Thrilling Sight.
They hoard Btrango noises, and looldnj
toward the west beheld a great blacl
surging moss, waving and rolling up
across tho prairie, half hidden by great
clouds of dust, which were only occasion
ally blown away by the brink autumn
wind. It was the great herd of buffalo
and they had been stanijreded by the In
dian hunters. The roar of the hoofs
upon tho dry earth was like tho low and
sullen thunder. The vanguard of the
herd was yet more than a mile away, but
tho dark iino stretched to right and loft
almost as far as the eyo could reach, and
our hunters raw that instant nml precipi
tate flight was necessary in order to savo
their lives. They specially chose the
northward ns offering tho fthortest and
best direction by which to escape tho
coming avalanche, and. sinking the spurs
deep into their terror stricken blasts, they
flow with the velocity of an arrow across
the wild prairie. A mile wns covered in
a few seconds, add yet they wero not
past tho herd, Which was rapidly closing
in upon them.
They turned their horses’ lieqfls partly
in tho direction tho buffaloes were going,
and, urging them to their utmost speed,
finally passed tho outer line of tho herd
just ns the leaders paased by. Then,
having reached a place of safety, they
dismounted, and, throwing their bridle
reins over tlieir arms, commenced to
load and fire into the herd with all pos
sible rapidity, nearly' every shot killing
or disabling an animal. It took nearly
half nn hour for the rolling, surging,
angry horde to pass tho point where our
hunters stood. and as the rear gunrd
came in sight thero camo a new and still
more terrible scene hi (he great tragedy.
Moro limn 100 Indians wero in hot
pursuit of the savage beasts. Thoy wero
mounted on wild andkalmost ungovern
able bronchos, who wero frothing at tho
mouth, charging anti cavorting among
tho fleeing game. Tho white foam
dropped in flakes and bubbles from all
parts of their bodies. Their nostrils wero
distended, their eyes flashed firo, and
they seemed as eager as their wild mas
ters to deal death to their victims. The
savago riders seemed beside themselves
with mad, ungovernable passion.
Their faces were painted in tho most
glaring colors, their bright and many
colored blankets fluttered in the wind,
secured to the saddle only by an end or a
corner, their long black hair streaming
back like tho pennant at the mast head
of a ship, and their deep, black eyes
gleamed like diamonds in a dungeon.
Arrow after arrow flew from deep strung
bows and sunk to the feathered end in tho
quivering flesh of tho shaggy monsters.
Ponderous spears were hurled with tho
power and precision of giants, and struck
down the defenseless victims os a sturdy
woodman strikes down tho frail sapling
in his path.
“Crack 1” “crackl” camo from rifles,
and “pingl” “pingl” from carbines and
revolvers. Hundreds of shots were fired
by those who carried firearms, and be
fore these murderous weapons the poor
bison sank like ripened grain before the
reapers blade.
One young warrior, more ardent and
fearless than tho rest, had forced his high
strung Bleed fur into the middle of tho
solid phalanx, where the horse was finally
impaled upon the horns of a monBtcr
bull. He and his rider were tossed like
sheaves of wheat into tho air; then both
sank to earth, und were instantly trod
den into the dust.
At last the great storm had passed, and
our friends watched until it faded away
into tho distnneoand disappeared from
their view. Then came the sqbaws, tho
boys and the old men, to dispatch tho
wounded, and to skin and cut up the
dead. These were strewn all over tho
prairie, and not a tithe of them wero or
could be saved by all tho people, white
and red, assembled there.—-G. O. Shields
in Outing. *
Cliliti,-so Progress In Telegraphy.
The Chinese are fast extending their
telegraph systei^, and it will not bo many
months before every town and hamlet of
any size in the empire will have a tele
graph office. In extending the lines a
great deal of work has been necessaiy,
and several largo rivers had to be crossed.
This was difficult work cowing to the
greqt floods that at different seasons of
tho year cauao them to overflow their
banks' and sweep everything before them.
Some of these rivers, when at tho flood,
are from five to eight miles in width. In
extending' tho work across tho rivers it
was found necessary to use tho heaviest
kinds of cables, but at times these were
torn away and tho work was delayed.
To offset this mishap a laid lino was
built to high points uml the wirei^were
ran overhead. Ono of these overhead
cables bus a span 6f 1,090 yards. This
aerial lino is the second longest in the
world. Tho offices are doily increasing,
and tlg> work of construction is being en
gineered by Americans nml Englishmen.
Much of the material used in tho con
struction of the system is manufactured
in this country.—Demorest’s Monthly.

The wiles of the criminal classes arc
often so ingenious that I can’t help be
lieving that if those who practice them
were to turn their energies into other
courses they would attain no small meed
of honor and fame. Some little time
ago, for example, a burglar was caught
red handed in a strong room, opening a
safe with a key that could not have been
more perfect Imd it been supplied by the
maker of the lock. The man, after hav
ing been convicted, was asked to say
how lie had obtained tho key.
“Nothing easier,’l he replied. “We
knew who carried the key and what it
was like, so me and my pals got intotho
same railway carriage with your man
ager when he was going homo one day.
Ono of us had a bag whieh he couldn't
open. ‘Has any gentleman a key?’ he
asked. Your manager produced his
bunch, and my pal, who hod wax in his
palm, while appearing to open his bag,
took a likeness of the key o( the safe.
There’s the secret for you.”—Cassell’s

Tho Instinct nf Evil Living.
Thousands of tho “unemployed” cam
co wages becauso they do not wont to
work. They do odd jobs, they loaf, they
tramp, they pilfer, they steal, and so on
through tho whole gamut of larincss and
vice. Why is this! Wo hnvo already
said. Human nature is far from perfect
yet, Many rogues avo boms many
others are easily turned into rogues by
circumstances. It is likely enough that
tho instinct of evil living is transmitted!
it is Certain that tlio contamination of
vicious surroundings bus its natural ef
fect. Necessity holds the born felon in
a pitiless grip. Birth gives tho infant
tho fatal bent; homo lifo develops it.
The unwieldy bulk of modem society is
traversed by hard lines of moral ns Well
as of social cleavage.
Crime runs into pockets like ore ill
the mine. The Ishiniielites dwell niono
and propagate among themselves. Thero
is nothing to attenuate tho vicious strain.
Wo have on tho fringo of tho decent
population a class of creatures who, at
best, aro worthless, anil too often nro
puro pests. It is recruited, but it is not
regenerated, from tho outside; on the
other hand, it fords tho ranks of tho
thriftless, the reckless, the no’er-do-
welis. What must bo the result of such
a stato of things? With a rapidly in
creasing population, witli a greater mass
of poverty, a greater number of viciously
disposed jieoplo crowding into “East

Danger, of Trapping tho Grlasly.
I raw somo remarks upon this subject
tho other day from an old trapper and
hunter which evince a most thorough
knowledge of the matter, and wliloli co
incide in every particular with my own
personal experience.
Ho says: “I have hunted and trapped
the grizzly bear scores of times, and if
any ono thinks there isn’t peril as well ob
excitement in the Bport, let him go out
into the grizzly’s country and try it. I
know that tho grizzly bear, next to tho
Indian, was the ugliest customor thirty
years ngo that tho hunter had to deal
with. In those days we used to think
there was more danger in trapping the
grizzly bear thou thero was ill chasing
him with tho rifle.
"There have been times when trappers
Iiavo coqio up with tho bear at tho very
moment ho 1ms succeeded in tearing loose
from tho trap. I know one man, James
Carver by name, who happened to reach
his grizzly at sucii a time. The bear
made ono rush, and beforo tho compan
ion who was with Carver realized the
situation the hear had torn Carver to
pieces.
"I beam some ono say once that when
you have trapped a 1,00(1 pound grizzly
,you haven’t caught a hour at nil, hut
simply the dovil incarnate, and I toll you
thnt’s pretty near tho truth. "—Gen.

Working m Swiss Winn Pres*.
In tlie cafes and other publio places
thero were placards advertising American
wine presses, but I saw none of them in
use. At a farm liouso near us wo looked
on at tho use of one of the old fashioned
Swiss presses. Under it .lay a mighty
cake of grapes, stems and skins, crushed
into a common moss, and bulging further
beyond the press with each turn of the
Bcrew, while the juice ran in a little rivu
let into a tub bglow. When the press
was lifted tho grape3 were seen only half
crushed. Two peasants then mounted
the cako and trimmed it into shape with
long handled spndes, piling tho trimmings
on top, and then bringing the press down
agafli. They invited us with charming
politeness to taste the juice, but their
heavy hoots boro evidence of too recent a
visit to tlie cherisliod manure heap, and
wo thanked them with equal courtesy.
Tills grapo cake, when it imd yielded
up its last drop, would ho broken to
pieces and scattered over the Helds as a
fertilizer. Tlie juice would meanwhile
iiavo been placed to ferment in tho tuns,
twelve and thirteen feet deep, which lay
in tho adjoining cellar.—W. D. Howells

History of noniton ^noo.
Honiton laco 1ms a curiously checkered
history, with many iluctuutions. It is
said to have been first introduced by the
Flemings, who took refuge in England
to escape the persecutions of tho Duke of
Alva. Many Flemish names aro still to
bo fouiid in tho neighborhood of Honiton,
namely, Btocker, Murcli, Maynard,
Trump, eto. In 1000 there wns such a
demand for it that Franco thought it
necessary to issue a royal ordlnunco pro
viding that a murk should bo affixed to
imported English thread lace! Two great
fires at Honiton in 1750 and 1707 gave
tho first check to its production, Queen
Adelaldo tried to revive it after twenty
years of severo depression by ordering n
skirt made of sprigs, conics of natural
flower, commencing with* tho initials of
filer namo; for a very debased and hideouB
Ret of patterns had come in. This does
not seem to Iiavo produced a great re
vival of tho trade, and when our present
queen required her .wedding laco it was
found difficult to provitlo tho Workers,
but eventually a dress worth £1,000 eyas
madu at the small Ashing village of Beer.
The English royal family lias boon
most constant patrons of Honiton lace,
and 1ms dono immense good in keeping
tlie trado allvo. Wo will end by quotiug
u few quaint words from "Fuller’s Dev
onshire Worthies,” which sum up tho
pica for tho revival: "Horoby many
children who otherwise would ho bur
densome to tho parish provu benefloial to
their parents. Yea, many inuio in their
limbs, and impotent in their arms, if
ablo in their Angers, gain a livelihood
thereby; not to hoy that it saveth many
