The coming of a prophet moans pop
ular excitement, plots and conspiracies,
rekindling of tho llaiucs of hatred, dan

must bo laid on tho holy man at once.
rorlmps there will bo resistance, and n

While It Is true that most of the so-
called prophets nnd holy men wander

eighty years or more, and yet ho wuh
sturdy nnd upright and had a voice
like n clarion. He wns n fluent speak
or, full of argument, reason and ap
peal, and ho wns lighting a flntuo of
zeal lu every village ho pnsscd through.
He utterly refused any cash contribu
tions, lived on what tho dogs would
hardly cut and addressed tho peoplo
without fear of conseaucnees. Ho
had drentned of emancipation nnd n
new ruler. It was sedition straight
from the shoulder, nnd hi less thnn a
mouth ho could set tho whole provluco

When tho lieutenant cniuo fnco to
