THE CORN-CRIB OF E6YPT Dr. Talmage Draws Lessons From His Summer Tour. P.ople Should Itojolce In Tlielr e a sinner. What are you going to do with your sins? Have them pardoned, you say. How? Through the mercy of Uod. What do you mean by the mercy of Clod? Is it the letting down of a bar for the admission of all, without re spect to cluiructer? lie not deceived. I see a soul coming up to the gate of mercy and knocking at tnu corn-crib within says; “Are you alone?” Thu sinner replies: “All alone.” The voice from within says: “You shall not see my pardoning fare unless your divine brother, the Lord Jesus, be with you.” O, that is the point at which so many are discomforted. There is no mercy from (iod except through Jesus Christ. Coming with him we are accepted. Coming without him, we are rejected, l’etor put it right in his great sermon before the high priests, when he thun dered ftn’th: “Neither is there salva tion in any other. There is no other name given under heaven among men whereby wo may be saved.” O, anx ious sinner! O, dying sinner! t), lost sinner! all you have got to do is to have this Divine Henjamin along with you. Hide by side, coming to the gate, all the storehouses of heaven will swing open before your anxious soul. Am 1 right in calling Jesus Henjamin? O, yes. Uacliel lived only long enough to give a name to that child, and with a dying kiss she called him lleuoni. Afterward Jucob changed his name, and he called him Henjamin. The meaning of the name she gave was “Son of My I’ain.” The meaning of the name the father gave was “Son of My Right Hand.” And was not Christ the Hon of l’ain? All the sorrows of Uuchel in that hour, when she gave her child over into the hands of strangers was nothing com pared with the struggle *of God when lie gave up Ills only Hon. My text also suggests the reason why so many people do not get any real comfort. You meet ten people; nine of them are in need of some kind of condolence. There is something in their health or in their state or in their domestic condition that demands sym pathy. And yet the most of the world's sympathy umouuts to absolutely noth ing. People go to the wrong crib or they go in the wrong way. When the plague w'as in Rome a great many years ago there were eighty men who chanted themselves to death with the litanies of Gregory the Great—literally chanted themselves to death, and yet it did not stop the plague. And all the music of this world cannot halt the plague of the human heart. 1 come to some one whose ailments are chronic, and 1 say, “In heaven you will never be sick.”. That does noi give you mucn com tort. What you want is a soothing1 power for your present distress, host children, have you? I come to you and tell you that in ten years perhaps you will meet those loved ones before the throne of God. llut there is but little eondolence in that. One duy is a year without them, and ten years is a small eternity What you want is a sympathy now— present help. I come to those of you who have lost dear friends and say: "Try to forget them. l)o not keep the departed always in your mind.” How can you forget them when every fig ure in the carpet, and every book, and every picture, and every room, calls out their name. Suppose 1 come to you and say by way of condolence: “(lod is wise." “O!" you say, "that gives me no help. ” Suppose I come to you and say: "Hod, from all eternity, has arranged this trouble.” "Ah'”' you say: "that does me no good.” Then 1 say: “With the swift feet ol prayer go direct to the corn-crib for a heavenly supply. ” You go. You say: “Lord, help me; Lord, comfort me'” But no help yet. No comfort yet. It is all dark. What is the matter? 1 have found. You ought to go to God aud say: “Here, O Lord, are tlu wounds of my soul, and I bring with me the wounded Jesus. Let his wounds pay for my wounds, his be reavements for my bereavements, his loneliness for my loneliness, his heart break for my heart-break. O, God! foi the sake of the Lord Jesus Christ—tht God, the man, the Benjamin, th< brother—deliver my agonized soul. O Jesus of the weary foot, east my fatigue. O, Jesus o: the aching head, heal my aching head. O, Jesus of the Bethanj sisters, roll away the stone from tht door of our grave.” That is the kint of prayer that brings help; and ye how many of you are getting no h'el] at all, for the reason that there is ii 1 your soul, perhaps, a secret trouble You may never have mentioned it to : single human ear, or you may liavi mentiouea it to some one who is nov > gone away, and that great sorrow i . still in your soul. After Washingtoi i Irving was dead, they found a littli : box that contained a braid of hair anc 1 a miniature, and the name of Matildi Hoffman, and a memorandum of he: > death, and a remark something liki this: The world after tftat was a blank to me. 1 went into the country but found no peace in solitude. I tried to go into society, but I found no peace in society. There has beei. a horror hanging' over me by night and by day, and 1 am afraid to l>e alone.'* 1 go further, and find in my subject a hint as to the way heaven opens to the departing spirit. We are told that heaven has twelve gates, and some people infer from that fact that all the people will go in without reference to their past life; but what is the use of having a gate is not sometimes to be shut? The swinging of a gate implies that our entrance into heaven is conditional. It is not a monetary condition, if we come to the door of an exquisite concert, we are not surprised that we must pay u fee, for we know that fine earthly mu sic is expensive; but all the oratorios of heaven cost nothing. Heaven pays nothing for its music. It is all free. There is nothing to be paid at that door for entrance; but the condition of getting into heaven is our bringing t our Divine Benjamin along with us. ! Do you notice how often dying people call upon Jesus? It is the usual prayer offered—the prayer offered more than all tlie other prayers put together— | "Dord Jesus, receive my spirit.” One | of our congregation, when asked in i the closing moments of his life, “Do ! you know us?” said: “Oh, yes, I know you. (lod bless you. Good-by. Lord I Jesus, receive my spirit;” and he was j gone. Oh, yes, in the closing moments I of our life wo must have a Christ to ' call upon. If Jacob's sons had gone towards Egypt, and had gone with the very finest equipage, and had not taken Benjamin along with them, and to the question they should have been obliged to answer: “Sir, we didn't bring him, us father could not let him go; we didn't want to be bothered with him.” a voice from within would have said: “Go away from us; you shall not have any of this supnly. You shall not see my face, because your brother is not with you.” And if we come up to ward the door of heaven at last, though we come from all luxuriance and brilliancy of surroundings, and knock for admittance, and it is found that Christ is not with us. the police of heaven will beat us back from the bread house, saying: ‘'Depart, 1 never knew you.” If Jacob's, sons, coming toward Kgypt, had lost everything on the way; if they had expended their lust shekel; if they had come up utterly exhausted to the corn cribs of Egypt, and it had been found that Benjamin was with them, all the store houses would have swung open before them. My friends, you see it is either Christ or famine. If there were two banquets spread, and to one of them, only, you might go. you might stand and think for a good while as to which invitation you had better accept; but here it is feasting or starvation. If it were a choice between oratorios, you might say: “I prefer the “Creation,”’ or “1 prefer the ‘Messiah.* ” But here it is a choice between eternal harmony and everlasting discord. O, will you live or die? Will you start for the Egyp tian corn-crib, or will you perish amid the empty barns of the Canaanitish famine? “Ye shall not see my face ex cept your brother be with you.” Then and Now. Hannibal Hamlin's first trip to Washington was tilled with variety. From his home lie traveled to Portland by stage-coaoh. From Portland he went to liostou by boat then to Norwich by rail, from the latter place ho crossed the Sonud to Greeuport, from there lie. took the Long Island Railroad to New Fork, from the latter place lie again took the railway to Philadelphia, from that point he made tho best of his way by boat and stage-coach to Baltimore, und from the Monumental City at last reached tho capital by rail. Arriving in Washington after this tedious journey, he found it to be a straggling, dilapidated, and overgrown village of less than 20,000 inhabitants. Tho streets of magnificent houses which now accommodate the two Ini mired and odd thousand residents of the place were then utilized ns cow pastures. HUMAN DEVILS. Fiendish Work of the Apache Indians When Uncurbed. The devilish nature of the Apache can not bo appreciated except by those who have seen the work of these in human savages on one of their raids. Last week two poor fellows were killed near Tombstone and tho report simply said they were badly mutilated. This means very little to the ordinary reader, but to auy old Apache hunter it briugs up visions of devilish work that are seared into one’s brain. I remember a fearful case, of which I was an eye-witness i« the spring of 1865. It happened that I was in com mand of a company of California vol unteers, stationed near the Old Mexi can line. One day with several men 1 rode towards the’ ranch of Pedro Se vadra. live miles from our camp. On the way we heat'd shots and soon a Mexican came tearing along on a horse. Ho said old Chief Cochise hnd attacked Scvadra’s ranch with a large force. We spurred on. but arrived too late. The rancli house was iu flames, while all about was the worst sight im agination could conceive, Peggod out on the ground were tho dead bodies of four Mexican women stripped naked. The Apaches had disemboweled them while they were still living, but had thrust lauccs through their hearts when they heard us approaching. Near by were tho bodies of two little children whose heads had been smashed to a jelly against the log by the side of which thiir bodies were lying. The ouly living person about the’ ranch was Sevadra, who had beeu tortured iu the worst way by the savages. He had , always been 'good to them, and they knew he was a brave man. but the devils shot au arrow through his kid neys in order that he might die a lin gering death. He lived in terrible agony for two days. His wife was the ' only one about the ranch who escaped, j She concealed herself, and was missed by the Indians when they ransacked i tho place. . These Apaches were never pnnished ■ for this or any oilier of their outrages i in Arizona for twenty years. The i squaws did most of the worst work in i torture and mutilation, and deserved t no mercy when captured, althoitgh i their sex served them when surprised • by the regular troops.—St. Louis Globs !

About 500,000 bushels of wheat is ex pected to be harvested from the Dal rymplc farm near Casselton, N. D. Ten thousand tons of hay will be put vw? on the Beckwith & Quinn ranche in Uinta county, Wyoming. Of this 1,000 tons will be alfalfa and the balance red top. About the best hop deal which has come to light comes from Sloan, la. About a month ago H. Ilalloway, an extensive hog dealer of Whiting, run short of old hay, and in order to fill orders went to Sloan and contracted with Olson & Evans foi eighty acres of uncut timothy at $l per acre. Mr. Halloway put his men in the meadow immediately and inside of twenty-four hours had it cut, baled and on the road to Omaha and ;Council Bluffs, where he sold it at $20 per ton, clearing over $1,(300 in the deal. Philadelphia Record: It is predicted by a prominent bank president in New York that earlv in September government 4U per cent bonds will be selling at 98. il this should prove true it would be the first time a bond of the United States had sold below par since the gloomiest period of the civil war. Not more than $18,000,000 oi these bonds have, up to this time, been presented for extension at 2 per cent., and it is estimated that not less than $25,000,000 will have to be taken up by the treasury department. The live stock men of Kansas City are considerably exercised over what they allege is a discrimination against Kansas City by the railroads in live stock rates, the rates being made to favor Louis and Chicago. As an instance the rate from Skidmore, Mo., to Kansas City on a carload of stock |s $00; to Chicago, $33, and to St.. Louis, $22 50. From Skidmore to St. Louis it is 300 miles; to Kansas City but 100. and the proportion of mileage to Chicago is still greater. The attention of the inter state commission will be called to the discrimination. ± ne uemanu tor wool at Boston con tinues and some large sales are reported.. The volume of business is pood.

Australian iirm. Many of the white settlers who located on the Crow Creek and Winnebago reser vation in 1885, afterwards being driven off, have been putting in their claims for losses sustained at that time to a special agent appointed for that purpose. The special agent has discovered many in stances where the claimants have padded their accounts, and three men, Jacob T. Haight, L. W. Harvey and James E. Hain stock, are now under 11,000 bonds each at Huron to appear before the next United States grand jury for this offense. The special agent is determined that the Sioux mode of putting claims in against the government shall not be permitted in this case, where white men are the claimants. In Germany the troops are not at all pleased with tln^prospect of a wheat bread diet. They are accustomed to the rye and they like it, and German military men are already discussing with some appre hension the probable effect on the health and strength of the men. At any rate, while the grain crisis continues, the tone of the German press is notably less as sertive and even the gross stories which French papers have printed about the Kaizer fail to provoke any serious re joinder. In the manufacturing districts of Germany the high prices of food are chiefly felt, and the demand for the aboli tion o^the corn duties come hardest from the people that work for bread. The stockmen of Texas should appre ciate the Live Stock Journal which dishes up good wholesome advice every week, which if taken would be dollars in their pockets. This week it delivers itself of the following wisdom: The farmer who holds his wheat and the cattleman who holds his beef will both be well paid for the delay....The markets can handle one third more beef after the hot weather is over. Don't hurry your stuff on the mar ket when it is not w*anted. Prices will be better in the fall....Those who are kicking about hard markets should remember that we are now passing through one of the worst money stringencies ever known. There can be no-boom in anything until money is easier... .There are not too many beef cattle; at the same time the market can not be expected to take all the beef and a big lot of half-fat cattle at once. Market only the fat cattle and use some judgment and system in sending them in and the market will be all right. The abundant raind have made all na ture smile, and the cattle, after the severe hardships of the past winter, now wear a peaceful and contented look as they lie in the shade, converting the succulent grasses into valuable beef and milk The calves frolic and pass the happy hours unmindful of the change which the next six months may bring in their surround ings. Will they then be standing humped up iu the howling blizzard with tightening hides and staring coats vainly endeavor ing to digest enough straw anil corn stalks to keep up the unequal fight for life? I I think no one deliberately meditates such folly and cruelty, but they let time and op portunities pass and such sights are only too common. Straw and com stalks should be accompanied with some laxative food: almost anyone can sow a little rye or tur nips or both. A straw shed can be erected at a little cost and'thus summer be con tinued into winter to the comfort of the stock and profit of the owner. A private letter from Mr. A. M. Kitchen now traveling in Europe says: “This is the hardest country for news Ieverstruck. The people don't seem to know whether they are eating horse, cow or dog meat and for that matter don't seem to care much. The range in prices is from 5c to 75c per pound. I asked our landlord in Paris what he paid for meat and I give you the prices as he gave them to me. Prime beef, 70c; No. 1, 60c; No. 2, 45c; No. 3, 20c. Mutton sells from 25(a?40c per pound and pork from 18^35c. Horse, mule, donkey and dog meat is much cheaper and is sold in the poorer parts of the city. The country through which we traveled from Paris down to Naples is a regular garden spot. Not a piece of land that it is possi ble to work stands idle and from what I judge in looking through the car windows the crops are very fair. I have noticed as we go south from Paris the cattle seem to grow whiter until you don't see anything but white cattle from Rome to Nuples. They are large with horns that would measure in the neighborhood of four feet across and look as though they would from 1,400 to 1,600 THE OISCRACED BARONET. 1 Fallow-TraTalar Found Cummin* Ona o( tho Sloit Delightful Man. In the spring of 1888 the writer, says i correspondent of the New Orleans Times-Democrat, while returning on the English steamer Costa Rican.Capt. Watson, from Mexico to the United States on an ofiicial leave of absence, encountered among his fellow-passen gers Lieut.-Col. Sir William (Jordon Gumming, who has been the object of lo much controversy in tho social world. The passengers consisted of a pnrty of English gentlemen, among them a lord or two, au American gen tleman and his wife, who were return ing from a bridal tour in the West Indies, and myself. Among my commissariat was a young tiger which I had secured in the Mexi can mountains and which soon became an object of interest to the passengers and of some nuxietv to the crew. Up on liberating the animal from its cage, by permission of the captain, a tall, soldierly lookiug gentleman, with Bandy hair and a clean-shaven face, bearing the impress of exposure to tropical sun, approached me and de sired to know how, when, and where the animal was captured. This led to an'informal acquaint ance, he introducing himself simply as Gordon Cumming and gave me his card, upon which was written “Lieut. Col. Sir William Gordon Cumming.” At that time I was not informed of the significance of this name in the mili tary and social world. During the voyage I was consider ably in this gentleman’s society, and a more affable and interesting traveling acquaintance I have rarely met. The other passengers formed quite a staid and methodical party, and usually ! retired early, while Cumming insisted upon my sharing the cabin and his companionship usually until midnight, sippiQg huge tumblers of brandy and soda—au intrinsically English concoc tion, to the virtues of which I became gradually inured. He proved a delightful raconteur and indulged in graphic descriptions of incidents relating to Woolseley’s campaign in the Soudan, and only in cidentally and with extreme modesty told his own personal connection there with, omitting entirely any referdfece to the dash aud intrepidity displayed by him in that historic campaign, and which made him one of the idols of the English army.. He was present at the conllict in which the heroic soldier, traveler and author. Capt. Carnaby, lost his life; aud it was reserved for the colonel of a crack English regiment (one of the passengers) todescribe how Gumming, with his own sword, cut down one of Carnaby’s fiercest assailants. Gordon Gumming is ono of the most thoroughly traveled of Englishmen, aud his account of the Russians at the gates of Herat and his description of Russian and Afghan methods of war fare evinced a thorough diplomatic as well as military knowledge of a strat egic situation that may again attract universal attention. As a raconteur Gumming was facile princeps the leadei of the company, and his personal anec dotes of Disraeli, Laboueliere. the rad ical leader, Parnell aud other notables, were replete with humor, kindness and grace of expression. Among the well-known Americans abroad he admired the genius of Janies Gordoii Bennett, but deprecated the hostility of the latter’s newspaper ta the aristocratic party of England. In his inferences to America and Americans he was singularly free from that mental obliquity that seems to characterize the average Englishman in his estimate of us, aud. to quote his expression, "The only difference be tween au English aud an American gentleman was one of environment.” In several recent newspaper articles he is represented as one that excites hostility by an extreme hauteur and reserve of manner. This is entirely foreign to the impression lie made up on me. It seemed that all insular prejudices common to Englishmen had been eliminated by the contact of travel, and in ail essentials he was a thorough "1101111116 du inonde.” There was an ease, dash aud bon homuiic about him that savored more of the adveuturous soldier tlmu of the exclusive and aristocratic Englishman. He was frank, jovial and manly, and was evidently an anient admirer of womeu: and yet in the light of his present misfortunes it occurs to me that with all his savoir faire and knowledge of the world he would have been an easy victim to any concerted conspiracy that might havo been form ed against him, but that this Scottish baronet—a hero of the Soudan—this man of almost regal station and the possessor of abundant wealth—should have descended to the role of a com mon cheat is so widely divergent from the course of human action us to be almost impossible of belief. Weight of 141,120 Flies. A southern grocer, being greatly annoyed by flies, distributed twenty one sheets ot sticky flv-paper about his store. In the evening he gathered them up. and noticing how much heavier they were, concluded to weigh them. He accordingly placed the twenty-one sheets with their loads of dead ilies upon the scales; they tipped the beam at exactly seven pounds. Then he placed twenty-one fresh sheets on the scales and fouud that they weighed but four pounds and four ounces. Thus the flies were shown to weigh two pounds and twelve ounces. He next commenced to figure on the matter, and found there were twenty flies to each square inch of the fly paper; each sheet had 836 square inches and 6.720 flies; the twentv-oue sheets containing in all 141,120 flies. Thus it is plain that one can easily ascertain the exact weight of a single fly; for if 141.120 flies weigh two pounds and twelve ounces it is easy to calculate what one would weigh.
