A Vfw View ot Talmase.
Cor. Boston Herald.
Talmage could have held his own for ilteen
years by monkoy tricks alone? - Clearly not,
That be indulges in monkey tricks nov man
who Las ever seen him will deny. I regard
his performances on the platform as grotesque
in the extreme, but n cnivful reading of his
ut ftraiices from the phiUorm will insure his
placing upon the plane of bober-minded, dis
creet, sensible, instructive and entertaining
t..ii hers. Personally, Talmage is a genial
leliow. Get liiin in a comer with bis war
paint off and talk with him on any subject
except that of shop, aud you will find him as
genial and pleasant a companion as you may
wish. He is in the pulpit what Butler is iu
politics. It is his profession, and be is bound
to make a hit every time. He is reckless,
careless and not always reliable, but get him
down to hard pan and he ia worth a hundred
cents on the dollar every time. Talmage is
very bald. Personally in my eyes that is not
an objection. He seems to think the public
regard it otherwise. Consequently he lets
the hair grow on the side of his bead very,
very long, aud then brushes it up over his
sf-nlpand fancies that, because he looks like a
hairy man to himself in the glass, nobody can
see the little bald sx it behind. You remem
ber the ostrich? This is another case. On
the street Talmage apjiears to think that
everybody is looking at him. That is where
l.ir head is not level. He should think tfiat
everybody is looking at him because every
liody is, but be should not appear so. Sea
the point f
Canned Vegetables.
New York Journal.
"Do you claim any superiority for the
canned over ftreen vegetablesl" was asked of
a manufacturer of canned goods. y
"Yes, in this way: We are now canning
asparagus at the rate of 6,000 cans a day, and
putting it up within three hours after pulling
it out of the ground. It is gathered in the
early morning before sunrise, while the dew
is still upon it. The same remark applies to
tomatoes, of which we are putting up 42,'KK)
cans daily at our factory at Morristowu, N.
J., where a string of wagons a mile long is
waiting every morning to receive the cans.
The sume holds good with peas, which are
also gathered before the sun's beat can get at
them. If you buy similar vegetables green
at a retail store they are usually from one to
three days old. They lose their freshness,
whereas by our process they will remain
frvth and sweet for three years."
"But w Lat about the chemical action of the
solder f
"All oi:r goods are now soldered on the
o:itide by a new jsitrnt procestf by which it
is impossible for tli solJer to touch the con
tents. Here, for example, is one of our new
cans of the kind I refer to. You can see for
yourself that it is as I say."
"What is the secret of successful canning?"
"To destroy the germ of fermentation
that is all there is in it, apart from rigid
cfcnulmess." -
KraiN Work.
Newark Courier.
-" A person who edits a country newspaper
has to do a great deal of thinking he cannot

Hall or the Iloute.

Ti Mrubcrs U'lth Their flats Os
llrawlln: Ilngllah Oratory.
W. A. Croffert.
I delayed availing myself of Minister
Lowell's offer of an "order" to viwt the
houses of parliament, and last evening the
notion seized me to go, notwithstanding, aud
take my chauce to get in. A friend was In a
similar mood and we started off. My "guide"
says, "Nobody can be present at a debate In
the commons without an order from a memlier
of parliament. I had met two of the mem
hers in New York, my friend knew another,
and had a letter to still another but, on send
inz our cards in from the lobby, we dis
covered that none of them was present.
My friend said to the doorkeeper, in hie
sweetest voice, laying Lii band on my
shoulder:
"This Ls a distinguished stranger from
America. He is onaof odr most celebrated re
da cteura."
I straightened up and looked modestly
away.
"Hime truly sorry 1 can't let ye hup, gentle
men. Ill me very f renly to 'Mericana. But
it wud be much ez my bead wuz wuth to let
ye hup without a order."
"I can't get used to your blamed money,"
said my friend, taking out a two shiling piece;
"now just tell me how much that is in Ameri
can money."
"Tliat, said the doorkeeper ,slyiy taking the
coin and biting it; "his about ekle to your arf
a dollar."
"Now you give a couple-of orders," said my
friend," for us two distinguished Americana,
and we will go in and sit with Mr. Gladstone
while you figure on this. Ill leave this coin
with you till I come out."
The doorkeeper smiled, calmly lifted up the
gold-fringed flap of his side pocket, and fished
out two printed orders, saying:
Ez luck would av it, 'ere a a couple some
honble member give me to give to some friend
of 'is'n wich was a -coming in to-night 'as u't
come. ' ....
We took the orders and passed in. Among
the vices we are compelled to practice in or
der to get along with any degree of comfort,
I let my friend do all of the bribery not so
much on account ot moral as financial scru
ples. It costs something to get through a
land which doesn't apparently contain a man
wun strengtn or mina enougn to refuse a
shilling.
Well, here we were, classified as "members
friends," in a gallery at one end of the house
of commons a room soventy-flve feet long
and forty-five wide. I should think it about
one-thirtieth as large as the house of repre
sentatives at Washington, though the com
mons contains one-half more members. Just
below us they sit an hundred or so mostly
with bats on, curled up in grotesque attitudes
on uncomfortable benches. At the other end,
facing us, aits the speaker in a little sentry
box in the middle aisle, with what looks like
a bunch of pine shavings on his head. At his
right slopes upward the bank of Liberal (gov
eminent) bunches to the wall; and at his left
(our right) ; the , corresponding bank of Con
servative benches.. , In the middle of the front
bench on the Conservative side sits the Con
servative leader-rSir Stafford Northcote
tall man in Prince AJbert coat and gray
"trousers," with long, gray beard, andsmaii
eyes that are concealed most of the time by
the stove-pipe hat pulled forward and resting
on bis enormous nose, as he sticks out his legs,
thrusts his hands deep- into bis . pockets and
listens. He listens to Mr. Gladstone imme
diately opposite, who stands in front of th
lower Liberal bench,,-and says a few wordi
in favor of the agricultural bill. He speaki
in a conversational tone, quietly, with cop
rect rhetoric and small inflection. Pre
ently he sits down. It is noticeable tba!
all tho evening, the premier is about thi
only man who does not put on his hat, al
ways excepting, of course, the man wit!
tb: crown of pine shavings who sits ii
the sentry box.. Extending from thi
sentry box to the centre of the hall are thi
desk of the "darks" (threo clorks, O, Ameri
can congress!), and tables containing a hun
tired or eo of books ; and next to these, ii
front of the premier, is elevated the grea
mace of the sergeant-a-arins. It is a git
club about the shnpo ot a conventions
picture of Cain's, six feet long and a foo
through at the butt, and if it is of metal L
weighs at least a ton. Mr. Gladstone doet
n of" try to swing it around his gray head, bu
he bows under the. shadow of it, and write)
in a memorandum book in his lap probahlj
writing up his diary. , To this work he sticlo
earnestly, while the gabble goes on. He 1
thin and feeble-looking, but his clearly cu
face shines with intelLence, and be glance,
up every now and then to catch some fleetini
scrap of the debate.
Tho members of the English parliamenr
are notoriously the worst talkers in th
world. Daniel O'Connell must have hadi
flue background of dullness against which U
show off his florid brilliancy. The member,
all talk iu a conversational tone; they hesi
tate in speech; they hem and haw; they gi
back to pick un the dropped stitches in theii
vocal knitting-work; they, say "lam-ur
trooly sorry ur not to to be able to agrei
ur with the honorable gentleman ur
below the gangway ur" but let us re in em
ber that to 'ur" is human.
The house of commons liko the hall a
peers at the other end of Westminster palaot
is small, cramped, meagre; and the com
moners, like the lords, talk badly; but, aftei
all, one cannot but. have respect for thi:
British parliament. ; ; It .legislates for thi
whole of the great i-ealm, and it works cheap
It keeps a firm grip on the empire, but iti
annual expenses are less than those of anj
American legislature that I happen to be ac
quainted with. They are not a quarter ss
great as those of New York. A road cat
scarcely be laid out without permission ol
parliament; a new bridge cannot be buil
without act of parliament ; a new dock can
not be erected on the Mersey at LiverjxxiL
without act of parliament; and yet all the
legislation of last year amounted to only
forty-seven paes, while that at Albany mad
more than 2.'Juu ri

Last evening when a surging crowd was
packed around the ropes old Jum observed a
oung lady struggling and elbowing ccr way
urward with a bag of nuts elevated in her
ands. which she was trying to open as she
crushed along. Suddenly reaching his ten
foot nrolrfiseis over the heads of the crowd he
daintily seized the bag, as much as to say:
"IJon t put yourseix 10 unnecessary irouoie,
my dear!" and then, turning toward Scott,
is keeper, be solemnly winKea one or ni3
dinner-plate eyes as though remarking,
"Didn't I do that neatly!" Then the bag of
nuts disappeared as easily and completely as
though it was tnrown aown n mine or into an
earthquake, and Jumbo winked his off eyo
and flapped his gingham-umbrella lug with
evident satisfaction. The dozen or more
venturesome youngsters of 8 to 14 years old
who were seated on his bark during the per
formance seemed to trouble him as little as
fleas do a dog in fact, much less, for the
bigger the load be seemed the better content,
w hich is not the rule with dogs. A tall step
Lidder was kept alongside for the convenience
of passengers. One little girl after climbing
down the ladder thought she would reward
her steed with a'lxircel of peanuts and ran off
to procure them. - Jumbo, who had been
headed south, reversed his position while she
was away, and the little one came running
back breathless and reached out her offering
towards the tail gable' in blissful Innocence of
the change. "Ohdear she said -4 moment
later, "I thought th4 vKVue other endP

OCEAN STEAMERS.
Tho Coat of m Trip to Europe.
Route for 8tajnrt.
.Waw
George Alfred Towns ruL
During the past week many frWndj an I ac
quaintances of mine have gone to Europe,
a ixl 1 have seen some of them off on the
steamers. There Is hardly any thing to tell
you about steainuhips. In that bosinees, aa
in others, there is the greatest competition.
I went down to aee the ArUona go on with
Mary Anderson and nutny others whom I
knew, and there was a groat throng of people
pushing up and down the hatchways, with
out much apparent purpose except to kill
time and gratify curiosity. Home of these
people who have real friends ou board bring
quantities of flowers, which are put on the
dining-room tables, and In a very little
while cleared off, and they soon go over
board, while the owners have no time to
emeV. thn, being eea-eiok within two or
tArt hours afjjr leaving the wharf. Sfeam-
i Khips are sliU poor things. Nobody baa been
I Ot) work at them to make anything better out
! of them. They consist of one great room,
: tho Width of the ship, filled with tables
i for eatinff. and there run two doleful peni
tentiary oorridors between the engine and
the state-rooms. The people are pot in
without regard to privacy or acquaint
ance, at least two to a room, and
when Cook's or Jenkins' tourist parties go out
they put about four in a room. Living on
fhese steamers Is very plain, and all the
scraps aro utilized. From the moment the
passenger leaves his native shore he has to
take English food, English cooking and Eng
lish drink. As a general role the average of
the paswengers Is not as respectable to look at
as the same nunilier of persons on Broad wa)'.
The fare in round figure to Europe is 100
each way on the best ships, t hough sometimes
an extra iXU, $r0, y even iUKi, is paid to se
cure a full room, or ono of the officers' rooms.
The nfllccrs of th"s ships are generally al
lowed to sell oat their room.i. There are
steamers which take passengers) out for as low
as frr and $?-, and on some of these
lines a!3ge can be had to Olosgow or London
and return for about $lh to tlSO. There are
foes to be psld ou all th"se vessels, however,
which bring the figure up considerably. As
a general rule, it costs .?T0 to go to Europe
and Ijack, and, take it all iu all. It is a very
cheap expenditure of money for a man worn
out iu business ;uid needing real rest and health.
It takes ab.')iit .eighteen days to go to Europe
r.nd lack, not tvitlistaudi tig the advertisements
of seven a rul.eight days passagee. These pas
sages ana counted not betweon port and port,
but lietwec-'n light and light. They count, for
instance, from the time of leaving the bar,
twenty miles belOWNotV York, to making
Fasti let light in Ireland. It often takes four
hours to go down" the bay,- and, after pasirfug
Fastnot, noarly another day is required to
reach Liverjiool. Numbers of people go out
on these steamers merely for the voyage, and
como back oa the same ship, having five or
six days, sometimes eiifht or nine days, to
spend ashore, which lei them run down to
London, und oino ov ns far as Paris.
I root. Mr. f Suion on tho whrf, tho agent of
the Alaska and Arizona, which are tho fast est
stoainors in tho world nt prevent, and lia '
told mo the ne-.v steamer, tho Oregon, would
be out next Septorn'.ior, he thought. The
Inm&n steamship company is about to bring
out a large vetsol called the City of Chicago,
wbleh ft entirely new. Tb.2 steamship busi
ness Is taking new directions, and 1 would
not bo at all surprised one of these Liys lo
find a regular line of steamers from our port
running direct' to Gibraltar and the Su.-; (
canal and through to "India. There are plenty ;
ofpooplein New York who have ahead
been to India, among them ladles. I know,
one lady and her daughter, who went two or
three years ago from New York to Glasgow
direct, and wore'then transshipped to n steamer
of the same line at Liverpool, which took
them to Gibraltar, Malta, and through the
Suez canal to Bombay. Tboy returned to
Egypt by tho same vessel, and then joined
one of Jenkins' excursion parties for the Holy
Land, anS saw also Turkey, the Ionian . Isl
ands, and Greece. Tho ladies then came
through Italy alone, and through Franca and
Germany, and made the thorough tour of tho
British Islanda.All alone. Theame couple went
abroad a few weeks ago, striking first for the
Low Countries, anil thay nre hew taking the
sea passaga along the Norwiegan passage,
and expect to go to the North Cape, thou to
Swedan, and thence to Russia, and next fall
pao through Poland and the south of Europe
Whe asut of France and Spain where they
will winter. They expect to spend about $15
m day between them on this journey.
A reat Bridge LLxhted by F.lce.
trlelty.
' The Brooklyn bridge was dark aud to
rted except at tho gate, where the watch
men were admitting a squad of electricians.
The bridge seemed twice as large in the dark
ness as it ever la In daylight. The great
cables, the thousands of wires and cords fill
ing the air overhead only added to the com
plicated vastness of the structure. The river
gleamed far below, tugs and ferry boats
glided over the silvery pathway as if thoy
were phantom toys in a scene of enchant
ment. On either hand two great cities
stretohed away into the night. Suddenly
there was a orackle and a flash of noonday
light. A grim, greasy man in the Elm street
cellar had touched a lever, and for the first
time since the world w-ns created electricity
spanned the river. The 82,000 candle-power
lights blazed over tho ship channel like an
arch of stars. Steam tugs whistled, men
shouted. In New York, Brooklyn, Etatven
Island, for miles and miles around the two
cities, men pointed to t he splendid spectacle
of lightning-at work for man.
Spnrgeon'a Sermons by Cable.
New York Sun.
The notion that was lately put into prac
tice by a Philadelphia newspaper of cabling
to this country every Sunday night the ser
mons of the London pulpiteer, Spurgeon, ha
been abandoned. The price was too heavy
for sermons which were too cheap. They
proved to be unprofitable to the paper which
footed the cable bills for them. In fact, it
was evident to thoee who read them during
the few weeks of their publication here that
we have In this country hundreds of preach
ers who are in every way superior to Spur
geon of London who are better reasoners
and theologians, more persuasive, more
learned, more imaginative, and not less pious
or enthusiastic than bpurgeon. I be Phila
delphia paper which cabled Spurgeon's ser
mons from London rendered some service by
brinin? tnu truth home to the American
mind.
Oealth la Mexico.
Con-t-spon-lence New York Sun.
DLrtaiiCii lends enchantment to tho climate
of Mexico. People sicken and die here about
as commonly as elsewhere. According to one
of the loading doctors, the prevailing diseases
among foreign residents are intermittent
fevers, pnsumouia and kindred troubles.,
Those who are confined by their occupations
to Central Mexico are particularly subject to
typhus fevers. The rare find air also a fleets
nervous people unfavombly, aggravating
their complaints. Sufferers from tubercular
consnmption, on the other hand, are often
greatly benefitted here. Aleiost every visi
tor' suxTers more or less "on "his arrival, frora
Indigestion, headache, lassitude and the like,
but in most -cases- these disagreeable sensa
tions wear otf, although some persons find
thi: climate too trying. Those who attempt
to do an energetic day's work on the high
plateaus soon find out tholr mistake. Neither
mind nor body can be forced with safety, as
numbers of Americans have learned to their
I'aUI In Wales.
