' Eoantto'n, 11L SriRITODOXY. Dr. Welton's Sermon on "The iiaml - writing on The Wall." Omaha, March 12th. To tho Editor of the Republican: All of the large congregation who listened "Monda' night to the sermon of the Itev. Mr. Weltou may not have been moved as I was to go straightway and "search the scriptures to see if these things bo so." To do this is ac cording to the adjuration of the good man as weil as the good book, and if it were more generally heeded the les son would be better learned and more profitably applied. The theme was the feast of Belshazzar and its incidents. It was selected evidently on account of the Illustration furnished by the word "Tekcl Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting." The good qualities of the audience were put into tho balances and the scale turned against them until Christ was placed therein and "tipped the beam'" in their favor. This was all very well, and very ingeniously put, and must have moved the large con gregation to deep thoughtfulness upon the portentous theme. My own contemplations, however, wandered in a different direction. "Was it, indeed, true that this sublime spectacle was ever witnessed ? Was Belshazzar an entity, or was he a myth? Was it intended as a rebuke, and what had he done to provoke it? Whence came the writing and whence the power of Daniel to inter pret it? Was it an interposition of divine power, and did this power die with Daniel? Was such direct inter position necessary the but not neces sary now? And why? The theory advanced, as Iunderstoodjit, was thai the history revealed a direot manifes tation of the power of God ; was it true that the great Being who made yonder star so far away that a ray of light st.rling thence requires a million years to reach this planet, and who completely fills all tho interme diate space and all of the boundless space beyond, assumed parts and pro portions, and visited this earth, a por tion of his universe less in size, com paratively, than the point of a cambric needle, to bo present at the feast of this Chaldean King? Now, does not this view belittle Jehovah and fail to impart the most profitable lesson? If it shall bo found that an intelli gence far less than this aud entirely mundane in its character produced these phenomenan, it will not surely bo deemed profan-r and will be far eas ier of humau comprehension. Dan iel, ch. 5:5 reads : "In the same hour eunio forth fingers of a man's hand and the king 9aw the purt of the hand that wrote." The king wad alarmed, uot.becaue of the manner of the communication, but on account of its import. This was tilearlv not God's hand : nor was it the hand of an angel, as the term is generally understood, but simply the hand and the Aimers of a man. But in the 24th verse it is written. "Then was the part of the hand sent from liim; and this writing was written." From whom was tho word sent? In the verso iniuiediately preceding Daniel iaaddreesingBelshazzar in tho second person. Is the lauguage of verso 24 spoken by the historian of Daniel or by Daniel himself to God? If the latter, then is it true that God faeufc a man or gart of a man aud re vealed only so much of him as was necessary to hold tho chalk or the marking implement? It is the gen erally accepted belief that God uses an gels as his instruments. But if in this instance he employed a man, whence came he? Had he lived and died, aud in spirit life did he await God's bidding? Was this a case of partial "materialization," of which bomelhing is heard in our day? If the historian used this lauguage of and concerning Daniel, as he seems to have done then to what extent does it confirm the spiritualistic theory that the substance for materializations is "sent from" the medium ; another though t,if I am not trespassing too far : In Belshazzar's extremity his wife brings to him the knowledge of the fact that "There is a man in thy king dom in whom is the spirit of the holy gods; wisdom of the gods was found in him. (Ch. 5, verse 11.) I have heard of thee that the spirit of the gods is in thee." (verse 14.) Now, what were these gods? Are they the same mentioned by the woman of Endor? "And the woman said unto Saul, 'I saw gods as cending out of the earth.'" (1, Sam. 2S, 13). Would it aid in the interpre tation of these papers to use a large or small G? Are these the same refer red to by Milton? "Millions of creatures walk the earth un- ccca, Uotb. when we sleep and when we wake." If it be said there is beyond these the one only and true God, the author of all things, then I ask is He still be yond, tho intelligence, brought to view in the phraso "Let us make man," (Gen. 1:26;) or in this, "and the Lord God said behold the man is become as one of us. knowing good from evil?" lGen.3:22.) Inquirer. Onr Own Heathen. White the women of this country are seriously considering the question whether or net they are tho slaves of tyrant man, thej' have evideutly not grasped the startling fact that at least half a million of them are heathens. This unwelcome announcement isdue to Rev. Sheldon Jackson, a Denver minister, whoso travels have been somewhat extensive, and whose op portunities for obtaining information concerning the degradation of women in America have very clearly been improved. His statistics bear the impress of re liability, and 6eem to suggest a wider field for the operations of philanthrop ic ladies than any that has lately been presented. Leaving outof theaccouut all thedepraved women of civilization Dr.-Jackson estimates that the starry folds of the American flag float over Ave hundred thousand females who are absolutely heathen. First among these are the women of Arizona, who are descendants of the once powerful Aztecs, and who still worship the sun with all the solemnity that character ized the devotions of that wonderful people. Next come the native women of New Mexico, who are but slightly removed from positive pagan ism, and whose religion seems to chiefly consist in personal laceration and torture. The two thousand fe males of Alaska are referred to as the most depraved of mortals. They worship any article whose origin or construction is beyond their compre hension ; they sell their offspring for a mere pittance; they speedily put an end to their deformed children, and they throw their aged and infirm in to the sea without any ceremony whatever. Here is a chance for the missionary to enter in and distinguish himself on American soil and under Govermental protection. In his classification of heathen wo men Dr. Jackson has included tho fe male population of Mormondom, and although his views in ihis respect will meet with opposition it must be con fessed that he produces some forcible illustrations of tho degradation to which many of these women have been reduced. He mentions a case that came under his personal observa tion of a Mormon elder, who was the proud possessor of fourteen wives, one an Americau lady, one an English, one a Germau, one a Norwegian, one an Irish, and one a negress, the na tionality of the others not having been ascertained. As the elder's house consisted of but two rooms, he invar iably occupied it with his latest and most favored wife, forcing the others to seek lodgings in stables and wagons as best they could. These facts, with others justasstern and startling, Dr. Jackson is present ing to the people in the hope that they will awaken the Cnristiau ladies of this country to a sense of the deg radation which is to bo found within our borders, and arouse them to some action toward its relief.

Jesus Christ is described by Lentul us, a cotemporary, as o tall, well-proportioned man, straight in stature, of nearly six feet in height. His hair was the color of new wine from the roots to the ears, and thence to the shoulders it curled and fell down to tho lowest parts of him ; upon the crown of his'head it parted iu two, af ter the manner of the Nazerenes. His forehead was flat and fair, his nose was large, his eyes and mouth well proportioned. His face was neither round nor sharp, and resembled his mother's, being adorned with a very graceful Vermillion. His beard was thick aud forked and of the color of his hair, and was worn long, the scis sors uever having been used upon his head, nor had tho hand of any one touched him except that of his moth er when ho was a child. Ilia neck was not stifl, nor was his carriage proud. He stooped a little with his head. His hands were large and spreading and his arms were very beautiful. There was an air of seren ity in the countenance which attract ed at once the love and reverence of all beholders! In his reproof he was terrible, but in his exhortations ami able and courteous. He was never seen to smile, but often was observed to weep. Gravity, prudence, meek ness and clemency were strongly de picted in his countenance, aud ho was considered tho handsomest man in existence. Henlthfulness of Lemons. When people feel the need of an ac id, If they would let vinegar alono and use lemons or eour apples, they would feel just as wellj satisfied aud receive no injury. And a suggestion may not come amiss as a good plan when lemons are cheap in the mark et. A person should, at these times, purchase several'dozen at once and prepare them for use in tho warm days of spring and summer, when ac ids, especially citric or malic, or the acids of lemon and ripe fruits are so grateful and useful. j Press your hand on tho lemon, aud roll it back and forth briskly on the table to make it pqueeze the juice into a tumbler never into tin ; strain out all the seed as they give a bad taste. Remove all the pulp from the peels, and boil in water a pint to a dozen pulps to extract the acids. A few moments' boiling is enough, then fetralu the water with the juice of the lemons; put a pound of whitesugar to a pint of the juice ; boil ten minutes; bottle it, and your lemonade is ready. Put a teaspoouful or two of this sirup into a glass of water, aud you have a cooling healthful drink. Exchange. A Caterpillar Killer. M. Dominou, of Roziere, Fiance, has invented an instrument for kill iug caterpillars, described as follows: This instrument consists of a brass tube four feet long and about an inch in diameter, enclosing another of the same length, which is worked by tel escopic actiou. To one end of this tube is affixed an India rubber pipe of equal length, witli a mouth-piece. At the opposite end is a receptacle for oil, with a fine spray nozzle. Petroleum being the most deadly liquid known for the destruction of caterpilars, is used. By means of this pipe the nest is reached and the nozzle introduced. The operator places the mouth-piece of the India rubber tube to his mouth and a spray of oil is blown into the nest, causing the immediate-destruction of the insects without doing any injury to the tree. This little inven tion has been adopted by the French Minister of public works . for the cleansing of the trees on the public highways, after having been tested by the engineer in chief iu charge of the public thoroughfares in the De partment of the Seine. - -o Keeping ltos.es in Bloom. As soon as they have formed their first flowers in the open ground, pinch off the end of the first shoot, aud as soon as the rose is fully open ed, pick it oil. No rose should be left to fade upon the bufah, as when so left it exhausts the plant in the formation of seed. As tho plants grow, inch back the ends of the shoGts when they have grown si:-: inches, and rub out all puny shoots, thus keeping the plants in a rounded, open bush form. If strong shoots alone are left to grow they will soon control the strength of the plant, and the flowers will be few and often of imperfect form. Should the season be hot or dry, a mulch of fine fresh grass or saw dust, or moss from the woods, should be placed all over the soil, three inches deep, aud at night watered thoroughfy, not sprinkled, but wet like a day'6 rain. The Hybrid Perpetuals or Noisettes require this pruning or pinching, back, more promptly than the Teas, Bengals, or Bourbons. F. Ii. Elliott. Two hoys were standing before a cigar store, when one asked the oth er : 'Have you got three cents?' Yes. 'Well, I've got two oents ; give mo your three cents and I will buy a five center.' 'All right,' says No. 2, handing out his money. No. 1 enters tho store, procures the cigar, lights it and puffs with a good deal of satisfaction. 'Come now, give us a pull,' says No. 2, 'I furnished more than half the money.' 'I know that,' says the smoker; 'but then, I'm the president, and you be ing only a stockholder, you can spit.' Gold, silver, and greenbacks were practioally on a par j-esterday ; there being but little more than the nomi nal margin of exchange existing be tween them. The prophets of evil who predicted such dire results from the passage of the silver bill will be somewhat confounded at this.

Tribune. 9- Charcoal for Fowls The following experiment given in the American Cultivator, will bring fresh to mind what many know as to the value of charcoal, not only when fattening turke3?s but other fowls. It will also bo found a good corrective when used occasionally in winter, when the fowls aru confined to their quarters. The experiment was as fol lows: Four turkeys were confined in a pen and fed on meal, boiled potatoes and oats. Four others of the same brood, were also at the same time con fined in another pen, and fed daily on the same articles, but with a pint of very finely pulverized charcoal mixed with their food, mixed meal and boil ed potatoes. They had also a plenti ful supply of broken charcoal in their pen. The eight were killed on the same day, aud thero was a difference of a pound and a half each in favor of the fowls which had been supplied with charcoal, they being much the fattest, and the meat greatly superior in point of tenderness and flavor. Alligator Sinus. A single firm in New York City purchase as many as five thousand skins annually. They employ men to pursue the reptile iu the bayous of the Mississippi river, and the work is usually done at night by the aid of lanterns, the rifles used being aimed stright at the creature's eyes.
