I'LATTSM () TTI 1 WEEKLY HE KALI), THURSDAY, JUNE 23, 18S7. MUNICIPAL CRIME. HOW. DR. TALMAGE PROPOSES TO DECREASE IT. A Filthy City Always a VCh-kftfl City. Tho Ntviiarn f u I'litco n Tent of Its IMorullty Compulnory Education Advocated. Brooklyn, .Tune 10. This morning at tho Tabernacle the Hev. T. Do Witt Tnl mago read, ircvious to tho sermon, por tions of Kciiijturc descriptive of uncicnt cities mid gave out the hymn: "Fli'Ms nr viit the liarv?st waiting; Wlio will li-ur tin: kIii-uvl'S uwayr" His text was, "And tho men of the city fiaid unto F.lishn, lk-hold, I pray thee, the situation of this city is pleasant, as my Lord seeth; but tho water is naught and tho ground barren. And he ail, 15rin me a new cruse, nnd put Bait therein. And they brought it to him. And ho went forth unto the spring of the waters, and cast tho salt in there, and said, Thus said tho Lord, I have healed these waters; there shall not be from thence uny more death or barren land. So tho waters were heated unto this day." 'II Kinps ii, 19-22. Dr. Talinape Raid: It Is difficult to estimate how much of tho prosperity and health of u. city are dependent upon good water. The time when through well laid pipes and from safe reservoir an abundance of water from Croton or Ridgewood or Schuylkill is brought into tho city is appropriately cel ebrated with oration and pyrotechnic dis play. Thank God every day for clear, bright, beautiful sparkling water as it drops in the shower or tosses up In the fountain or rushes out at the hydrant. The city of Jericho, notwithstanding all Its physical and commercial advantages, was lacking in this important element. There was enough water, but it was dis eased, and the people were crying out by reason thereof. Elisha, the prophet, conies to the rescue, lie says: "Get me a new cruse; fill it with salt and bring it to me." So tho cruse of salt was brought to the prophet, and I see him walking out to the general reservoir, and he takes that salt and throws it into the reservoir, and lo! all the impurities depart, through a super natural and divine influence, aud the waters are good and fresh and clear, and all the people clap their hands and lift up their faces in the gladness. Water for Jericho clear, bright, beautiful, God given water! At different times I have pointed out to yon tho fountains of municipal corruption, and this morning I propose to show you what are tho means for the rectification of those fountains. There are four or ilvo kinds of salt that have a cleansing ten dency. So far as G.od may help me, I shall bring a cruse of salt to the work, and empty it into the great reservoir of municipal crime, sin and shame, ignorance and abominati.m. In this work of cleansing our cities, I have lirst to remark that there is a work for the broom and the shovel that nothing elso can do. There always has been an intVnate connection between iniquity and dirt. The filthy parts of the great cities nre always the most iniquitous parts. The gutters and the pavements of the Fourth ward, Xew York, illustrate and symbolize the character of the people in the Fourth ward. " The first thing that a bad man doe3 when he is converted is thoroughly to wash himself. There were, this morning, on the way to the dillereut churches, thousands of men in proper apparel who, before their conversion, were unlit in their Sabbath dress. When on the Sabbath I pee a mau uncleanly in his dress, my sus picions In regard to hi3 moral character ure aroused, and they are always well founded. So as to allow no excuse for lack of ablution, God has cleft tho conti nents with rivers and lakes, and has sunk five great oceans, and all the world ought to be clean. Away, then, with the dirt from our cities, not only' because the physical health needs an ablution, but be cause all the great moral and religious interests of the cities demand it as a posi tive necessity. A filthy city always has been and always will lie a wicked city. Through tho upturning of the earth for great improvement our city could not Ijo expected to be as clean as usual, but for the illimitable dirt of Brooklyn for the last six months there is no excuse. It is not merely a matter of dust in the eyes, and mud for the shoes, and of stench for tho nostrils, but of morals for the soul. Another corrective influence that wo would bring to bear upon the evils of our great cities is a Christian printing press. The newspapers of any place aro the test of its morality or immorality. The news boy who runs along the streets with a roll of papers under his arm is a tremendous force that cannot be turned aside nor re sisted, and at his every step the city is elevated or degraded. This hungry, all devouring American mind must havo something to read, and upon editors and authors and book publishers and parents and teachers rest the responsibility of what they shall read. Almost every man you meet has a book in his hand or a newspaper in his pocket. What book is it you have In your hand? What newspaper is it you have in your pocket? Ministers may preach, reformers may plan, philan thropists may toil for the elevation of tho Buffering and the criminal, but until all the newspapers of the land and nil the booksellers of the land set themselves against an iniquitous literature until then we shall bo fighting against fearful odds. Every time the cylinders of our great publishing houses turn they make the earth quake. From them goes forth a thought like an angel of light to feed and bless the world, or like an angel of dark ness to smite it with corruption and sin and shame and death. May God by his omnipotent spirit purify and elevate the American printing press 1 I go on further and say we must depend upon the school for a great deal of correct ing influence. A community can no more afford to have ignorant men in its midst than it can afford to have uncaged hyenas. Ignorance is the mother of hydra headed crime. Thirty-one per cent, of nil the criminals of New York state can neither read nor write. Intellectual darkness is generally tho precursor of moral dark ness. I know there are educated out lawsmen who, through their sharpness of intellect, are inado more dangerous. They use their fine penmanship in signing other people's names, and their science in ingenious burglaries, aud their fine man ners in adroit libertinism. They go their round of sin with well cut upparel, and dangling jewelry, and watches of eighteen karats, and kid gloves. They aro refined, educated, magnificent villains. But that Is the exception.. It is generally tho case that the criminal classes arc n3 ignorant as they are wicked. For the proof of what I say, go into the prisons and the penitentiaries, and look upon the men and women incarcerated. The dishonesty in the eye, the low passion in the lip, are not more conspicuous than the ignorance 4a iSoj2TJ&S3L -3e JOTPraat SlfiiSfia fire always tho dangerous classes. Dema gogues marshal them. They are htliu less, and ate driven before tho galo. It is high time that all city and state authority, as well as tho Federal govern ment, appreciate the awful statistics that, while years ago in this country there was set apart 000,000 acres of land for school purposes, there are now in New Eng land 11)1,000 people who can neither read nor write, and in the state of Pennsylvania 222,000 who can neither read nor write, and in the state of New York 211,000 who can neither read nor write, while in the United Slates there are nearly 0,000,000 who can neither read nor write. Statistics enough to stagger and confound any man who loves his God and his country- Now, in view of this fact, I am in favor of com pulsory education. When parents ure so bestial as to neglect this duty to tho child, I say the law, with a strong hand, at the same time with a gentle hand, ought to lead these little ones into the light of intelligence and good morals. It was a beautiful tableau when in our city a swarthy policeman having picked up a lost child in the street, was found appeas ing its cries with u stick of candy lie hail bought at tho apple stand. That was well done, and beautifully done. But, oh! these thousands of little ones through our streets who are crying for the bread of knowledge and intelligence. Shall we not give it to them? The officers of the law ought to go down into the cellars, and up into the garrets, and bring out these benighted little ones, and put them under educational Influences; after they have passed through the bath and under the comb, putting before them the spelling book, nnd teaching them to read the Lord's Prayer and the sermon on tho mount: "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of Heaven." Our city ought to be father and mother both to these outcast little ones. As a recipe for the cure of much of the woe, and want and crime of our city, I give the words which Thorwaldsen had chiseled on the open scroll in the hand of the statue of John Gutenberg, the inventor of tho art of printing: "Let there be light!"- Still further: Reformatory societies are an important element in the rectification of the public fountain. Without calling any of them by name, I refer more espe cially to those which recognize tho phys ical as well as tho moral woes of the world. There was pathos and a great deal of common sense in what the poor woman said to Dr. Guthrie when he was telling her what a very good woman she ought to be. "Oh," she said, "if you were as hungry and cold as I am, you could think of nothing else." I believe the great want of our city is the Gospel and something to eat. Faith and repent nnco are of infinite importance; but they cannot satisfy an empty stomach. You have to go forth in this work with the bread of eternal life in your right hand and the bread of this life in your left hand, and then you can touch them, im itating the Lord Jesus Christ, who first broke tho bread and fed the multitude in tho wilderness, and then began to preach, recognizing the fact that while people are hungry they will not listen and they will not repent. We want more common sense in the distribution of our charities; fewer magnificent theories, and more hard work. Still further: The great remedial in fluence is the gospel of Christ. Take that down through the lanes of suffering. Take that down amid the hovels of sin. Take that up amid the mansions and palaces of your city. That is the salt that can cure all the poisoned fountains of public in iquity. Do you know that in this cluster of three cities, New York, Jersey City and Brooklyn, there are a great multitude of homeless children? You see I speak more in regard to tho youth and tho children of the country, because old villains arc seldom reformed, and, therefore, I talk more about the littlo ones. They sleep under the stoops, in the burned out safe, in tho wagons in the streets, on the barges, wherever they can get a board to cover them. And in tho summer they sleep all night loug.in the parks. Their destitution is well set forth by an incident. A city missionary asked one of them: "Where is your home?" Said he: "I don't have no home, sir." "Well, where are your father and mother?" "They are dead, sir." "Did you overhear of Jesus Christ?" "No, I don't think I ever heard of him." "Did you ever hear of God?" "Yes, I've heard of God. Some of the poor people think it kind of lucky at night to say something over about that before they go to sleep. Yes, sir, I've heard of him." Think cf a conversation like that in a Christian city. How many are waiting for you to come out in the spirit of the Lord Jesus Christ and rescue them from tho wretchedness here! Oh, that the church of God had arms long enough and hearts warm enough to take them up! How many of them there are! As I was thinking of the subject this morning, it seemed to me as though thero was a great brink, and that these little ones with cut and torn feet were coming on toward it. And here is a group of orphans. Oh, fathers and mothers, what do you think of these fatherless and motherless little ones? No hand at home to take care of their ap parel, no heart to pity them. Said one Little one, when the mother died: "Who will take care of my clothes now?" The little ones are thrown out in thi3 great, cold world. They are shivering on the brink like lambs on tho verge of a preci pice. Does not your blood run cold as they go over it? And here is another group that como on toward the precipice. They are the chil dren of besotted parents. They are worse off than orphans. Look at that pale cheek; woe bleached it. Look at that gash across the forehead; the father struck it. Hear that heart piercing cry; a drunken mother's blasphemy compelled it. And we come out and say: "O ye suf fering, peeled and blistered ones, we come to help you." "Too late!" cry thousands of voices; "the path we travel is steep down, and we can't stop. Too late!" And we catch our breath and make a terrific outcry. "Too late!" is echoed from the garret to the cellar, from the gin shop and from the brothel. "Too later ' It is too late, and they go over. Here is another group, an army of neglected children. They come on toward the brink, and every time they step 10,000 hearts break. The ground is red with the blood of their feet. The air is heavy with their groans. Their ranks are being filled up from all the houses of "iniquity and shame. Skeleton Despair pushes them on toward the brink. The death knell, has already begun to toll, and the angels of God hover like birds over the plunge of a cataract. While these children are on the brink they halt, and throw out their hand3 and cry: "Help! help!" Oh, church of God, will you help? Men and women bought by the blood of the Son of God, will yon help? while Christ cries from the heavens: "Save them from going down; I am the ransom." I stopped on the street and just looked at the face of one of those little ones. Have you ever examined the faces of the neglected children of the poorf; Other children hve gladnes3. fa they, faces. When a group of them rush across tho road, it seems as though a spring gust hnd unloosened an orchard of npplo blos soms. But these children of the ioor. There Is but little ring in their laughter, nnd it stops quick, as though some bitter memory tripped it. They havo an old walk. They do not skip or run on tho lumber just for the pleasure of leaping down. They never bathed in tho moun tain stream. They never waded in tho brook for pebbles. They never chased tho butterfly across the lawn, putting their hat right down where it was just before. Childhood has been dashed out of them. Want waved its wizard wand above the manger of their birth, and withered leaves ure lying where God intended a budding giant cf battle. Once in a while one of these children gets out. Here is one, for in stance. At 10 years of age lie is sent out by his parents, who say to him: "Here is a basket; now go off and beg and steal." The boy says: "I cun't steal." They kick him into a corner. That night he puts his swollen head into tho straw, but a voice comes from heaven, saying: "Cour age, poor boy, courage!" Covering up his head from the bestiality, and stopping his ears from the cursing, he gets on up better and better. He washes his face clean at tho public hydrant. With a few pennies got at running errands he gets a better coat. Rough men, knowing that he comes from a low street, say: "Back with you, you little villain, to the place whore you camo from." But that niatfit the boy says: "God help me, I can't go back;" and quicker than ever mother Hew at the cry of a child's pain, the IiOid responds from the heavens: "Courage, poor boy, cour age!" Bis bright face gets him a posi tion. After a while he is second clerk. Years pass on, and he is first clerk. Years pass on. The glory of young man hood is on him. lie comes into the firm. J le goes on from one business success to another. He has achieved great fortune. He is the friend of the church of God, the friend of all good institutions, and one day he stands talking to the board of trade or to the chamber of commerce. People say: "Do you know who that is? Why, that is a merchant prince, and he was born on Elm street." But God says in regard to him something better than that: "These are they which came out of great tribulation, and had their robes washed and made white in the blood of the Lamb." Oh, for some one to write tho history of boy heroes and girl heroines who have triumphed over want and star vation, and filth and rags! Yea, tho record has already been made, made by the hand of God; and when these shall como at last with songs aud rejoicing, it will take a very broad banner to hold the names of nil the battlefields on which they got tho victory. Some years ago a roughly clad, ragged boy came into my brother's ofiice in New York and said: "Mr. Talmage, lend me $5." My brother said: "Who are you?" The boy replied: "I am nobody. Lend me J5." "What do you want to do with $o?" "Well," the boy replied, "my mother is sick and poor and I want to go into the newspaper business, and I shall get a home for her and I will pay you back." My brother gave him the $5, of course never expecting to see it again; but he said: "When will you pay it?" The boy said: "I will pay it in six months, sir." Time went by, and one day a lad came into my brother's office and said: "There's your $." "What do you mean? What 5?" inquired my brother. "Don't you remember that a boy came in here six months ago and wanted to bor row $3 to go into the newspaper busi ness?" "Oh, yes, I remember; are you the lad?" "Yes," he replied, "I have got along nicely. I have got a nice home for my mother (she is sick yet) and I am as well clothed as you are, and there's your 5." Oh, wa3 he not worth saving? Why, that lad is worth fifty such boys as I have sometimes seen moving in elegant circles, never put to any use for God or man. Worth saving! I go farther that that and tell you they are not only worth sav ing but they are being saved. One of these lads picked up from our streets and sent west by a benevolent society wrote cast, saying: "I am getting along first rate. I am on probation in the Methodist church. I shall be entered as a member the 1st of next month. I now teach a Sunday school class of eleven boys. I get along first rate with it. This is a splendid country to make a Living in. If the boys running around the street with a blacking box on their shoulder, or a bundle of papers under their arms, only knew what high old times we boys havo out here, they wouldn't hesitate about coming west, but come tho first chance they got." So some by one humane and Christian visitation, and some by another, are being rescued. In one reform school, through which 2,000 of the Little ones passed, 1,995 turned out well. In other words, only five of the 2,000 turned out badly. There are thousands of them who, through Christian societies, have been transplanted to beautiful homes all over this land, and thero are many who, through the rich grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, have already won the crown. A little girl was found in tho streets of Bal timore and taken into one of the reform societies, and they said to her: "What is your name?" She said: "My name is Mary." "What is your other name?" She said: "I don't know." So they took her into the reform society, and as they did not know her last name they always called her "Mary Lost," since she had been picked up out of the street. But she grew on, and after awhile the Holy Spirit came to her heart, and she became a Christian child, and she changed her name; and when anybody asked her what her name was she said: "It used to be Mary Lost; but now, since I have become a Christian, it is Mary Found." For this vast multitude are we willing to go forth from this morning's service and see what we can do, employing all the agencies I have spoken of for the rect ification of the poisoned fountains? We live in a beautiful city. The Lines have fallen to us in pleasant places and we have a goodly heritage; and any man who does not Like a residence in Brooklyn must be a most uncomfortable and unreasonable man. But, my friends, the material prosperity of a city is not its chief glory. There may be fine houses and beautiful streets, and that all bo the garniture of a sepulcher. Some of the most prosper ous cities of the world have gone down; not one stone left upon another. But a city may be in ruins long before a tower has fallen, or a column has crumbled, or a tomb has been defaced. When in a city the churches of God are full of cold formalities and inanimate re ligion; when the houses of commerce are the abode of fraud and unholy traffic, when the streets are filler1 with crime un arrested and sin unenlightened and help lessness unpitied that city is in ruins, though every church were a St. Peter's and every moneyed institution were a Bank of England and every library were a British museum and every house had a porch like thflt of JRbeuus and a- roof like that of Amiens and a tower like that of Antwerp and traceried windows like thoso of Freiburg. My brethren, our pulses loat rapidly the time away, and soon we shull be gone, and what wo have to do for tho city in which wo live we must do right speedily or never do it all. In that day when those who have wrapped themselves in luxuries and desiised tho poor shall come to shame and everlasting contempt, I hope it may be said of you and me that we gave bread to tho hungry nnd wiped away the tear of the orphan and upon the wanderer of the street we opened tho brightness nnd benediction of a Christian home; and then, through our instrumen tality it shall be known on earth and in Heaven that Mary Ixjst became Mary Found I ODDS AND ENDS. A workman in a vineyard in Napa val ley, Cal., committed suicide the other day by jumping into a cask of wine and drowning. The outside seats of the New York Fifth avenue stages are now largely patronized by ladies in tho evening, and consequently the avenue has quite a coaching club pa rade every night. Says a London cable: "The subject is fast resolving into the question whether the Queen's jubilee is to bo an incident of Buffalo Bill's capture of London, or whether Buffalo Bill is an incident of the jubilee." A law taxing cats in that state ten cents "per capita" is projected by a legis lator of Georgia. Mexico reports a big business boom, with a great rush of foreign capital. A naval officer, writing home, says that the Japanese calkers who labored on his vessel did three timers as much work as the same number of our navy yard work men. A book of rules for playing lawn tennis has been published, but it omits the most important rule of all for beginners, which is: First get jour lawn. Ixmisville Courier-Journal. A pension is claimed by a Little Rock woman on the ground of nervous debility produced by seeing a wounded Federal soldier's leg amputated.

The Will to Hons in Rummer Drews. While the president celebrated his wed ding anniversary "far from the madding crowd," the day was observed in a more commonplace way at the White House by sweeping off the back stoop and polishing up the handle of the big front door. The day was entirely given over to house cleaning. Cobwebs were brushed away and spiders driven in terror from their lairs; carpets were torn up and shaken and beaten until a cloud of dust encircled tho house like a dense fog. Everything is top side down, buncheel together and scat tered alxiut. Curtains and old clothes were carefully packed away in camphor and drugs, "where moth and rust doth not corrupt, and thieves do not break through nnd steal." Hammers resounded through the halls and corridors almost as if another story were in process of con struction. Marble slabs, floors and furni ture are being industriously and vigor ously scoured by many a brawny arm until, when the president returns, he will miss many old landmarks. The green, blue and red parlors have been tleprived of their carpets, and mat ting has been substituted. The blue room carpet, upon whicA the famous wedding took place, has seen Its last days of service. A designer from New York has made a design for a new moquette carpet for that apartment. It will be of blue shading from indigo to robin's egg, to correspond with the Tiffany frescoes of the walls, and sprayed with delicate flowers. Mrs. Cleveland superintended the arrangement of this design, and the carpet is now being made, but will not be laid until autumn. The east room carpet will retain its place during the summer, and in the autumn it will be superseded by an Axminster carpet of a creamy and gold ground, to harmonize with the walls and ceiling, and partially covered with intertwining sprays of fern. The silk covers of the east room furniture will be replaced with plush, and the furniture of the green parlor will be covered. Wash ington Cor. Baltimore American. Bliss Elizabeth Stuart Thclps. The announcement made that a novel based on the woman suffrage question was being written by Miss Elizabeth Stuart Phelps has apparently no founda tion whatever. In a letter from Miss Phelps lying before me she writes: "There is not one syllable of truth in the statement. I am not writing a woman suffrage novel, I have not written a woman suffrage novel, and I never in tend to write a woman suffrage novel. "I have had a very ill winter, and have now completely lost the use of my eyes, which makes it difficult, if not impossible, for mo to answer all the letters from strangers that come to me. "It would be a courtesy to me If the fact might be made known that my illness makes it impossible for me to attend to the numerous letters which I constantly receive from unknown friends and readers of my books. This might prevent some wounded feeling on the part of strangers who may misunderstand my silence. "Elizabeth Stcakt Phelps." Ben: Terley Foore's Work. Aside from his work as a news gatherer and political spectator, Ben: Perley Poore earned the gratitude of every writer in the Land through the great number of ref erence works which he published. He taught the teachers of men. The book of Webster in the proof rooms and the man uals and directories of Pen: Perley Poore in the editorial rooms have been for the last quarter of a ' century the volumes most often open to consultation. If a young man write a book nowadays, of which 100.000 copies are distributed, the papers begin drafting his grandfather's history; but 800,000 copies of Major Poore's "Life of General Taylor" were sold over thirty years ago.

The pacer Blue Bull sired more trotters in the 2::!0 list than nny other horse in the world, and their net value far exceeds all horses in Cass county. Speed and bottom in horses, if not wanted for sporting purposes, are still of im mense benefit in saving time and labor in every occupation in which the horsa i employed. It is an old saying that "he who causes two blades of grass to grow where only one grew before is a public benefactor;" why less a benefactor lie who produces a horse, which, with same care and expense, will with ease travel doublet the distance, or do twice the work of an ordinary horse.
