A.PUKA(’HER HLACKSMITII
one of Tennessee’s remarkable
CHARACTERS.
Knoxville Tribune.
The Itev. Tom Sexton, the
blacksmith preacher, who is
known to thousands of people
throughout east Tennessee, has
been preaching the gospel for
eight years and never went to
school a day in his life.
This man has an interesting
career; in fact , it is remarkable.
He is now just forty years old,
and during the coming winter
he is going to take a study
course, and. Home day lie will
doubtless be one of the leading
evangelists of the country. His
home is in Maryville, where lie
has a wile and an interesting
family of little ones.
Few people who are natives
Of Blount county and who saw
Tom Sexton grow up to man
hood, ever dreamed that he
would ben minister of the gos
pel.
Ho was born near Clarksville,
(la., and is the son of John
Sexton,who was a veteran black
smith.
In 1870 the Sexton family
located in Blount county, and
the old man opened a small
blacksmith shop alongside the
Knoxville & Augusta railroad
track, about three miles beyond
Here he remained until a few
years before his death, which
occurred seven years ago.
“Sexton’s shop’’ was known
far and w ide; in fact, it was the
only ono in that neck of the
woods for several years. Tom
grew up around tin* shop, and
about all lie learned was the
trade of his father.
When he became of age lie
was married, and soon after
opened a shop for himself at
Maryville, but later moved to
Rockford, where lie spent at
least ten years of his life. He
was known as an habitual drunk
ard, anil was often in trouble,
neglect ing his business to a great
extent.
One day lie had been to Knox
ville, boozing pretty heavily,
and thought the train had left
him, so he attempted to walk
home. Out near the Knoxville
A Augusta junction he sat down
upon a crosstie and when the
train came along he refused to
get tip, and the consequence
was that he was knocked into a
ditch, but not seriously hurt,
and was picked up and taken to
his home, which then was in u
little frame hut just beyond the
Rockford depot.
Another time he was going
home late cue night, riding
horseback, und rode his horse
oil into a ditch, the animal full
ing on him, and neither was
aide to get up until a man came
along and took the anitual off
the man.
Another time he drove a blind
mule into the rivet, having in
the buggy his wife and children
but it liuppeued none <>f them
was killed.
Eight years Mgo Tom pro
IVsseil religion and determined
to h-ud a better life. He con
cluded thut he had been called
|to preach, and so at Morgan
town, in Loudon county, he
preached his first sermon, und
from that Uuy to this lie has
kept constantly at it.
In Knoxville lie has {ield four
revivals und had JtOo conver
sions.
During all his life of driwk
-5 witness hu suys his good wife
prayed for him. and never <li
he doubt her religion, mid sine •
lie became a preacher -he ha
taught him td read and write
Since he has had a strong de
sire to attain more knowledge,
hut has never had the time nor
t he means.
lie is now preaching through
out East Tennessee to get mon
ey enough to support his family
for three months during the
winter, while lie puts in that
time in studying.
Some of the college profess
ors at Maryville have agreed to
give him instructions and to
hear him recite.
W bile in the city one day las
week he said that he was just
going to cast off all care and do
nothing hut study. Early in
the fall he will open a big re
vival in Knoxville, and wlmt
money he can make will go to
ward keeping his family while
he is studying this winter.
SPANISH DECADENCE.
There was a time when Spain
was recognized as the greatest
power on the globe. With the
defeat of the celebrated Arma
da, however, in tlie latter part
of the sixteenth century, the
fortunes of the empire began to
decline, and ever since that
time the histery of Spain has
been onv of continual sacrifice
and disaster.
Such was the wealth of the
empire during the days of Co
lumbus that Spain was tin* only
country in Europe whose ruling
power would listen lor a mo
ment to the strange dream of
the daring navigator. It was
Ferdinand ami Isabella who
supplied him with the means
requisite for his voyage, am 1
who made it possible lor him li
explore the seas of the western
hemisphere.
As a result of the discover}
in which his expedition fruited.
Spain became at once the law
ful possessor, not only of the
Bahama island and Florida
peninsular, hut also of Mexico
Central America and the entire
southern half of the continent
With these vast poss- ssions
which still were further en
riclied by the discovery of fab
ulous gold mines in Pe u and
other parts of South America,
the wealth of tin* Spanish crow n
became proverbial. But t In-
Spaniards, with all their impe
rial riches, were doomed to g<
down before the Anglo-Saxons,
lathe signal defeat of the greet
Spanish Armada the empire re-
ceived its first disastrous shock
and began to experience thui
long series of national reverses,
which has culminated in her
present embarrassment.
Gin* by one her vusl possess
ions \liave slipped from her ty
ranicsl grasp. Mexico, Brazil.
Peru, Central America—all
have wearied of her yoke and
thrown it aside in the struggle
for freedom and independence.
Of all her colonies in the west
ern world Cuba is the only om
of any consequence that still
remains. Cuba, however, i
fated to he free. Thu presen
revolution is characterized by
that unyielding temper whirl
nothing but freedom or’death
can subdue.
Spain is too hampered b
debts to continue the tight foi
any length of time, and Is side
another revolution has broken
out among her subjects < n the
I'liillippine islands. Nothing
short of a miracle can sav<
these possessions to the crown
or check the national ilecai
into which the empire is slow I \
falling.
Recent, information receive,
from Spain discloses the f*e
that no less than 40 (>oo young
men have left the country to
avoid military duty.
Business is ut a standstill an
merchants complain of such a
crisis as they have never hefori
experienced.
In order to prosecute lie- win
in Cuba it is necessary for the
government to borrow $200,000
000 in addition to the louden
indebtedness iif the empire 11 1
ready outstanding. Alter u
disastrous campaign of twenty
months sin- has made hut lilt l<-
progress toward subduing the
Cubans, and the countiies of
Europe arc somewhat guarded
in the mutter <b extending her
credit. Up to the present tiin
sin- hus not succeeded in raising
the necessary sum of money,
and the outlook is extremely
discouraging.
Suoli, in brief, is the story of
this once matchless empire,
j Only a few years back thw flag
I<>f Spain was the terror of the
whole earth; today it trails in
the dust and is the symbol of
defeat and humiliation.—Ex

THE CZAR’S WIG.
Paul, the eccentric czar of
Russia assassinated in IBof,
| was very particular as to his
dress, and considered trifling
matters as of supreme impor
t a nee.
This peculiarity was once ta
ken advantage of by an officer
of the guards, Major Vaksel, to
win a bet. The major, the!
wildest joker in the army, wag
ered several hundred rubles that
he would tweak the tail of the
emperor’s wig on parade.
The very next day tljte em- j
; peror happened to lie present at
an early pamde, and, as desti
| ny ruled it, took a position for
| a moment immediately in front
| the daring major. Breathless
with excitement, and terror.
Yaskel’s companions helield
j that rash officer’s right hand
■deal slowly from his side, rise
to the level of the czar’s neck
and give the wig’s hanging tail
a most decided tweak.
In an instant the emperor's
face, pale with fury, was turned
upon Yaksel’s countenance,
which, however, only reflected
an expression of childlike inno
cence, mingled with the most
deferent ial astonishment.
“Who dared to do that?”
asked the enraged czar, his eyes
giving flashing evidence that
his most dangerous mood was
upon him.
“1 did, your majesty,” said
Vaksel, who, however his heart
in i v have fluttered, managed to
preserve outwardly’ an unruffied
cal in, together, with an expres
sion of innocent surprise. “It
was crooked, your majesty.” he
added, in a confidential under
tone “I straightened it for
fear the younger officers should
I see.’ ’
Paul’s countenance cleared at
once. He stirred fixedly, how
ever, at Vaksel's innocent look
ing face for some seconds. Vus
kel admitted afterward that
this was the trying moment,
and he had said to himself, “If
I waver, I’m lost!” Then the
czar spoke, and spoke so that
all might hear.
“I thank you, colonel,” lie
said.
Jf ever a step in rank was
gained by the purest effoutory
it was so acquired on this occa
sion, and Vaskel left the field,
not only promoted to a coveted
position in tin* guards, but
richer by many hundred rubles
as the result of his wager.—

JN THE WEST INDIES.
Some years ago the West In
dian sens were infested by pi
rates of savage atrocity and
desperate valor. They were
composed of men of all nations.
I had taken passage cm board
the merchant ship Marv, and
we were on our voyage to Liver
pool, when the following inci
dent befell me: I had seen the
captain standing on the after
deck and from time to tune!
eagerly surveying with his glass |
some object in our wake. I 1
walked up to him on one *(
these occasions and inquired
wlmt lie was trying to make
out.
*’ I here is a strange vessel in
sight,” he answered, “but. 1
can’t quite make her out.”
Night fell. The moon was
half way lip in the heavens, and
| not a cloud was in sight.
I was startled from mvslum
, hers toward morning by the
sound ol alarmed voices ami of
hurried trampling on deck, I
threw on my clothes and hast
ened iqi the companion ladder.
On my w av up I met black Sam
bo, the Cook.
“For heaven’s sake,’’ I asked
“what is the matter ?”
He instantly said:
“Pirates 1”
I looked in the direction in
dicated, and my eyes rested on
an object, yet at some distance,
hut enough to strike fear into
the stoutest heart. It was ‘ the
strange ship” which the captain
had been scanning the proceed
ing night, and there coil'd now
he little doubt as to her charac-
I walked up to the captain.
“Well,” I sai<|, “the secret
is out at lust.”
“Yes, I knew- her from the
first, but I tried the chance of
an escape, not knowing whether
she might have seen us; but
you see we have failed.
She was a long, low sort of
craft, evidently very swift.
The rapidity with which she
gained on us showed that we
had no chance of escape by
flight.
Turning my eyes again to
ward the deck, I found the men
all activity and hustle. One
group I observed busily engag
ed in breaking and sawing old
iron hoops and spikes. These
were for grai»e-shot.
All the guns, rifles, pistols,
swords and cutlasses which the
ship could muster were brought
oil deck and distributed among
the crew.
The pirate ship was now rap
idly approaching and was al
most within gunshot. We
could see her deck distinctly
and perceived that it was crowd
ed with men—booms and all
were filled. She was evidently
well armed, for we saw six guns
on u side and a long gun, on
pivots, planted in the fort castle.
We saw a inah, evidently a per
son in command, standing in
the shrouds, w ith a polished
speaking trumpet in his hand,
closely scanning us. He won
white trousers and had a red
sash bound round his waist.
On his head was a broad pana
ma hut, the now burning sun
rendering such a defense highly
necessary.
But our attention wassudden
ly attracted in another direr
tion by a new object of interest
—perhaps danger. It must
here lie observed that we were
now otf tlio eiuist of Cuba.
“Boat ahoy !” sai.g out the
man ou the lookout.
And sure enough there was a
In>at almost in our t rack, t hough
al first sight there seemed noth
ing in its appearance to excite
either suspicion or alarm.
We were soou within hail of
the boat and perceived tint
then* was only one man visible
on hoard, who seemed to he
lishing with a nul and line jit
the boat's bow . An immense
tarpaulin covered the boat
The only circumstance which
excited our suspicion was an
object very like a currona h> on
a pivot, planted forward, und
on which the man sat, us if to
conceal it.
We were within less than a
pistol shot of the boat when we
observed a sudden bustle under
the turpulin. The man ut tin
bow changed his position, point
ed the carronade in the direc
tion of our brig, und, bung ! a
round shot went whistling
through our foresail.

Ab&ouuteev pure
At the same instant the tar
paulin was thrown off', wit h a
loud shout, and some savage
i looking ruffians displayed tiiwin
j selves to view.
The pirate boat rapidly ap
proached, and her crew fired
upon us, but firing upward, and
our men being sheltered by the
bulwarks, no damage wa.< this
[ time done.
But our turn for notion had
now come. The boat, bud al
most struck the ship’s side,
when the clear voice of the cap
tain was heard:
“Now, men, steady! Run
out the guns! Mind your aim!
Fire! ”
The guns were run out
through the portholes in an in
stant, and one fiery stream of
I death after another was poured
down upon our assailants. At
least three or four heavy shot
went through the boat’s bottom
when she almost instantly filled
and sank, leaving her crew in
the water struggling and swim
ming for life.
And what of the pirate ship
—the lirst object of ours fears?
What was our surprise to find
the stranger ship sheering off'.

'ion of the “fishermen” had

CAT IN THE PULPIT.
An inquisitive black cat
strayed into the Bristol Metho
dist Episcopal church on a ro
ot nt Sunday evening just before
the services began, says th<*
Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph.
There were very few peop'e
in the church at the time, but
the loud and plaintive mewing
ot the stranger attracted their
attention and they watched its
movements with interest.
The animal climbed up into
the choir loft, perched upon the
railing and looked down upon
the congregation. After a time
several members of the choir ar
rived and the oat scampered
away, finally climbing down
one of the wooden pillars which
supported the choir loft und
walked down into the aisle.
Severul of the congregation
endeavored to coax the cat into
their pews, but the proud pussy
ignored them und with stately
dignity, climbed up into the
pulpit and eat on the Bible,
When the pastor came in u mo
ment later he found the cat in
possession of the pulpit, but tin*
animal took kindly to the
preacher and began to purr und
urch his buck at the latter's ap
proach.
The pastor took tit i cat by
tin* buck of the neck and hand
ed it down to an usher, who
carried puss out of the church.
“This is u g i.si omen, brethren'
said the pastor, and then he
went on and preached his ser
mon.

A POLITICAL GEM.
Running through almost
every speech of the democratic
nominee is a marked vein of re
ligious reverence which suffices
in itself to repel the absurd
charges which are brought
against his principles bythead
vo.;ates of the single gold stand
ard.
I.ast Tuesday evening, at the
home of the democratic nominee
for vice president, Mr. Bryan
delivered a speech the eloquent
tones of which are still ringing
in the ears of the country.
Such, indeed was the soulful
language in which the speech
was clothed and such the spirit
of reverence which it breathed
that The Springfield Repuhli.
can, laying aside all criticism,
reproduces the latter partof the
speech as one of the gems of
the campaign.
\\ itliout studious preparation
this gem of statesmanship and
rhetoric is nothing more than
the natural expression of a
great mind filled with u sublime
truth.
These are the words of the
democrrtic standard bearer
which form a part of his recent
speech in Maine.
We can support our position
from every point of view. We
can quote the authority of those
who stand high in tne nation’s
councils. We can apply to the
money question the laws we see
enforced every day, and we can
gather testimony from the an
tilogies of nature. I am not
old, lint I am old enough to
have learned that the laws of
God are wiser than the laws of
man, I am old enough to have
learned that He who is infinite
in power was also infinite in
love, and that He never gave to
mankind a need without giving
them the means of satisfying it.
When He gave to man the ne
cessity of food, He covered the
earth with his bounties, and
there has always been enough
to satisfy the hunger of man.
And when He made water nec
essary for human existence He
put the veins in the earth and
scattered the living springs
along the hillside. And .when
He allowed weariness to creep
over the limbs, He sent sleep to
restore strength. And when He
gave man u mind capable of de
veloping, filled the universe
with His wonders which may
well occupy the thoughts of
mail.
When He gave mankind the
desire of society und fashioned
the channels of trade, He stored
away in the secret places of the
mountains the gold and silver
suitable for a world’s money.
Mankind found those precious
murals, dragged them from
their secret recesses, and for (>,-
OtK) years they have come down
to us side by side, ministering
unto the wants of man. 1 may
be in error. If lam I hope I
