MtAMffM TLlCi::i tMiWWXx t I 0. IT UP THE NILE. Dr. Talmago Continues His Dis courses on HIb Lato Journey. Jonriicyinsr Up the Mlo Tito Great Itlver nnil Its Iiilliicncca Fullltlmrnt or a l'rop!iic3' Historic Scenr Described Troth of tho .Scriptures. In continuation of his series of ser mons at Brooklyn upon his lato journey to the Holy Land, Itev. T. DeWitt Talmage in his second discourse took his text from Ezekiol xxix. 'J, "The river is mine and I have made it." Ho said: Aha! This is tho river Nile. A brown, or yellow, or silver on which nro hunff more jewels of thrilling in terest than on any river that has ever twisted in tho sunshine. It ripples through tho book of Ezekiel and Hashes in the books of Dcuteronomv, and Isaiah, and Zachariah. and Valium. and on its banks stood tho minifies of many aes. It was the crystal cradle of Moses, and on its banks, Alary, the refugee, carried the infant Jesus. To find the birth-place of this river was the fascination and defeat of expedi tions without number. Not many 3'i-ars ago ISayard Taylor, our great American traveler, wrote: ".Since Columbus firat looked upon .San Salvador, the earth has but one emotion of triumph left for her bestowal and that she reserves for him who shall first drink from the fountains of the White Nile under the snow fields of Kilimanjaro." 1'in, tho discovery of the sources of the Nile by most people was considered an impossibility. The malarias, the wild beasts, the unclimb able steeps, the vast distances, stopped all the expeditions for ages. Hut the work went on until Speke, and ("rant, and Halter found the two lakes which aro the source of what was called the White Nile, and baptized these two lakes with the names of Vic toria and Albert. These two lakes, filled by great rain falls and by accumu lated snows from the mountains pour their waters, laden with agricultural wealth such as blesses no other river, on down over the cataracts for 4,000 miles and through a continent. l!ut the White Nile would do little for Egj'pt if this were all. It would keep it banks anil Egypt would remain a desert. Hut from Abyssinia there comes what is called tho Hluc Nile, which, though dry or nearly dry half theyoar, under tremendous rains about tho middle of Juno rises to great mo mentum, and the Hluc Nile dashes with sudden influx into the White Nile, which in consequence rises tliirt feet, anil their combined waters inundate Egypt with a rich soil which drops on all the fields and gardens as it is con ducted by ditches and sluices and canals every whither. The greatest damage that ever came to Egypt came by tho drying up of the river Nile, aud the greatest blessing by its lii-aUJi fill anil abundant How. The famine in .losopli's time came from tho lack of suflicient inundation from the Nile, Not enough Nile is drought, too much Nile is freshet anil plague. What happens to the Nile happens to Egypt. The niliimeter was to mo very suggestive as we went up and down its .stone steps and saw the pillar marked with notches telling just how high or low aro the waters of the Nile. When the Nile is rising, four criers every morning run through tho city an nouncing bow many feet the river has risen ten feet, fifteen feet, twenty feet, twenty-four foot and when tho right height of water is reached the gates of the canals are flung open and the liquid and refreshing benediction 's pro nounced on all the land. As wo sUirt where the Nile empties into the Mediterranean sea we belioW . :i wonderful fullHliiumjoir,pMcey. : The Nile in wr",- nt times used to iavo sovon mouths. As tho great river nnnronched tho sea it entered the sea at the seven different places. Isaiah prophesied: "Tho Ij.nl shall utterly destroy tho tongue of tho Myptian sea and shall smite it in seven streams." The fact is they are all destroyed but two, and Ilerodotus.saidthe.se two re maining are artificial. lTp the Nile we shall go. part of tho way by Egyptian rail train and then by boat, and we shall understand why the Hiblo gives such prominence to this river which is the largest river of all the earth, witli one exception. Hut before wo board the train we must take a look at Alex andria. It was founded by Alexander the (Jreat, and was once tho New York, tho l'aris, the London of the world. Temples, palaces, fountains, gardens, pillared and clllorescent with all architectural and E Ionic grandeur and sweetness. A polios the eloquent, whom in New Testament times some people tried to make a rival to l'aul. lived here. Mere Mark, the author of the second book of tho New Testament expired under Nero's anathema. I'rom hero the ship sailed that left Haul and the crew struggling in the breakers of Melita. Pompey's pillar is here. This tower was built in honor of lHoeletian for sparing the rebellious citizens. After having declared that he would make the blood run to his horse's knees and his horse fell with him into the blood and his knees red dened, the tyrant took it for granted that it was a sign he should stop the massacre and hcuco this commemora tive pillar to his mercy. This is tho citv to which Omar camo after building 1,100 mosques and destroying 4,000 temples and :,000 villages and castles, vet riding m on a camel with a sack of corn, a sack of figs and a wooden plate, all that he had kept for himself, and the diet to which he had limited himself for moit of tho time was bread and water. Was there ever in any other man a commingling of elements so strange, so weird, so generous, so cruel, so mighty, so weak, so religious so fanatical'.' In this city was the, greatest female lecturer tho world ever saw Hypatia. Hut the lessons of virtue that she taught wer obnoxious and so they drngged he. through the streets and scraped he flesh from her bones with sharp oyster shells and then burned the fragment of the massacred body. And here dwelt Cleopatra, pronounced to be the beauty of all time although if her pictures aro correct I hnve seen a thousand women in Brooklyn more attractive and she was as bad as she was said to be handsome. But Alexandria, fascinating for this or that thing, acconling to the taste of the visitor, was to me most entertain ing because it had been the site of the greatest library the world oversaw, considering the fact that tho art of printing had uot been invented. Seven hundred thousand volumes and all the work of a slow pen. But down it all went under the torch of bescigers. Built again aud destroyed again. Built again but tho Arabs came along for its final demolition and the ,.., 4,000 baths of the city were heated ? ith ''esc volumes the fuel lasting-six v' onuis. and were ever fires kindled at VS -h fearful cost?

All tho books of all the ages in all tho li braries outshono by this one book which you and I can carry to church in a pocket So mcthought amid tho ashes of Alexandrian libraries. But all aboard the Egyptian rail train going up the banks of the Nile! Look out of the window and seo those camels kneeling for tho imposition of their load And I think wo might take from them a lesson, nnd instead of try ing to stand upright in our own strength, become conscious of our weakness and need of divine help be fore we take upon us the heavy duties of the yeur or tho week or the day, and so kneel for the burden. About here, under tho valiant Murad Bey, the Mamelukes who are tho finest horsemen in all tho world, camo like a hurricane upon Napoleon's army, but they were leaten back by the French in one of tho fiercest battles of all time. This rido along tho Nile is one of the most solemn and irnprcssirc rides of all inj' lifetime, and our emotions deepen as the curtains of the night fall upon all surroundings. But wo shall not be satisfied until wo can take a ship and pass right out upon theso wondrous waters and between tho banks crowded with tho story of em pires. The pyramids in sight, tho remains of cities that aro now only a name, tho villages thronged with population. Both banks crowded with historical deeds of forty or sixty centuries. (). what a book tho Bible is when read on the Nile! As we slowly move up the majestic river I seo on each bank the wheels, the pumps, the buckets for irri gation, and see a man with his foot on the treadle of a wheel that fetches up tho water for a garden, and then for the first timo I understand that passage in Deuteronomy which sajs of tho Israelites after they had got back from Egypt: "The land whither thou goest in to possess it is not as tho land of Egypt, from whence yo came out, where thow sowedst thy seed, and wateredst it with thy foot" Then I understood how the land could be watered with the foot How do you suppose I felt when on the deck of that steamer on the Nile I looked off upon tho canals and ditches and sluices through which the fields are irrigated by that rivor and then road in Isaiah: "The burden of Egypt; tho river shall bo wasted and dried up; and they shall bo broken in their purposes thereof, all that make sluices and ponds for fish." While sailing on this river or stopping at one of tho villages wc seo peoplo on the banks who verify tho Bible descrip tion for they aro now as they were in Jtililo times, bhncs arc times. Shoes arc now taken off in reverence to sacred places, carried astride the mother's r-i.: i.i.. .i.,, 1.1.. ?aaria4i,ai as in Hagar's time. Women with pro-1 fusion of jcwclrv as when Uobecca was allianced. Lentils shelled into the pot tnrt iis when Esau sold his birthritrht to get such a dish. Tho same habits of salutation as when Joseph nnd his brethren fell on each other's neck. Courts of law held under big trees as in olden times. People making bricks without straw, compelled by circum stances to use stubble insteud of straw. Flying over or standing on the banks as in Scripture days aro flamingoes, osproys eagles, pelicans, herons cuckoos and bullfinches. On all sides of this river sepulchres. Villages of sepulchres. Cities of sepulchres. Nationsof sepulchres. And one is tempted to call it an empire tombs. 1 never saw such a place of IIS Egypt is for graves. And now of I tin. iicrsianu me eoiiii""'"aTcasm tho 1 i in lit iisWini lln ii wero on the JYiTrom Eirvnt to Canaan: "Becauso there aro no graves in Egypt, hast thou taken us away to die in the wilder ness?" Here we disembark a little while for Memphis. olT from the Nile to the right Memphis, founded by tho first king of Kgypt and for a long whilo the capital. A city of uinrblo and gold. Home of the Pharaohs. City nineteen miles in circumference. Vast colon nades through which imposing proces sions marcheiL Here stood the temple of tho sun, itself in brilliance a sun shone on by another sun. Atom phis in pwwer over a thousand years, or nearly ten times as long as the United States have existed. Here Joseph was prime minister. Here Pharaoh received Jacob. All possible splendors were built, up into this royal city. Hosen, Ezekiel, Jere miah and Isaiah speak of it as some thing wonderful. Never did I visit a city with such exalted anticipations and never did 1113 anticipations drop so flat Not a pillar stands. Not a wall is unbroken. Not a fountain tosses in the sun. Even tho ruins have been ruined aml all that remain aro chips of marble, small pieces of fractured seulptuic and splintered human bones. Hero and there a letter of somo elabor ate ins-ription. a toe or ear of a statue that once stood in niche of palace wall. Ezekiel prophesied its blotting out and the prophecy has been fulfilled. Hut back to the Nile and on nnd up till you reach Thebes in scripture called the city of No. Hundred-gated Thebes. A quadrangular city four miles from limit to limit Four great temples, two of them Karnac and Luxor, once mountains of exquisite sculpture and gorgeous dreams solidi fied in stone statue of Barneses II., SS7 tons in weight and seventy-five feet high, but now fallen and scattered. Walls abloom with tho battlefields of centuries. The surrounding hills of rock hollowed into sepulchres on the wall of which aro chiseled in picture and hieroglyphics the confirmation of Bible story in regard to tho treatment of the Israelites in Egypt so that as explorations go on with tho work, the walls of these sepulchres become com mentaries of the Bible, the Scriptures originally written upon parchment hen cut into everlasting stone. Thebes mighty and dominant 500 years. Then she went down in fulfill ment of Ezekiel's prophecy concerning the city of No, which was another name for Thebes: "I will execute judgment in No. I will cut off the multitudes of No." Jeremiah also prophesied: "Thus saith the Lord. I will punish the multitudes of No. This city of Thebes and all the other dead cities of Egypt iterate and reiterate the verac ity of the Scriptures telling the same story which Aloses and tho prophet told. Havo you noticed how God kept back these archaeological confirmations of the Bible until our time, when the air is full of unbeliof about the truthful ness of the dear old book? He waited until the printing press had . been set up in its perfected shape and the submarine cable was laid and the world was intelligent enongh to appreciate the testimony and then he resurrected the dead cities of the earth and commanded them, saying: "Open ?$ Iir? oliH lir and risfnXr' ,he Bible nphis and book of responds ttine and nt true?" the way ;nd from t a mercy ad cities ae Bible his work 'nd divin .sccrUin Poller superior to aTi tho is purest and strtnea- -- - , aVinff p0. high degree of purity, free froa lul--.. f rtrfeierfoss stbttcs. de!eterktfStfbttBces - m'T V " !L.

But the dead cities strung along the Nile not only demolish infidelity, but thunder down tho absurdity of the modern doctrine of evolution which says the world started with nothing and then rose, and human nations be gan with nothing but evolved into splendid manhood and womanhood of itself. Nay; the sculpture of the world was more wonderful in the days of Alcmphis and Thebes nnd Carthage than in the days of Boston and New York. Those blocks of stone weighing 300 tons high up in the wall at Karnac im ply machinery equal to if not surpass ing tho machinery of the nineteenth century. How was that statue of Barneses weighing cijfht hundred and eigMy-scven tons, transported from tho quarries two hundred miles away, and how was It lifted? Tell us, modern machinists How were those galleries of rock, still standing at Thebes, filled with paintings surpassed by no artist's pencil of the present day? Tell us artists of the nineteenth century. The dead cities of Egrpt so far as they havo left enough pillars or statues or se pulchres of temple ruins to tell the story Memphis Migdol, Hierapolis,Zo an, Thebes jsheii, Carthage all of thern developing downward instead of upward. They have evolved from mag nificeice to destruction. The gospel of JeMis Christ is the only elovator of individual and social national char acter Lot all tho living cities know that pomp and opulence and temporal prosperity arc no security. Theso ancient cities lacked nothing but good morals. Dissipation and siu slew them, and unless dissipation and siu are halted, they will someday slay our modem cities and leave our palaces of merchandise and our galleries of art and our city halls as flat in t'io ihisi as wo found Memphis. And if the cities go down, the na tim will go down "O," you sjy, "that is impossible; we have siod so long yea, over 100 years as a ration. " Why. what of that? Thebes stood over TQ0 years; Memphis stood 1tOO years. (od does not forget Ono Jiy with tho Lord is as 1,000 yours and H000 years as one day. Bum and de bauchery and bad politics are more rapidly working the destruction of our u merican cities than sin of any kind, ind all kinds worked for tho destruc tion of tho cities of Africa, once, so initrht and now so prostrate But-thelr pds wtirc Mols and could do nothing except lor iieoasemeni.

I notice the voice of those ancient cities is hoarso from the expostiro of forty centuries, nnd thoy accentuate slowly with lips that were palsied for iges but all together those cities along iie Nile intone these words: "Hear us iir we aro very old, and it is hard for is to hpoak.

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust!" And as these voices of parphyry and granite ceased, all the sarcophagi under the hills responded: "Ashes to ashes!" and the capital of a lofty column foil, grinding itself to powder among the rocks, nnd responded: "Dust to dust!" IT WAS A SURE THING. How a Siiiijj Party IMarnl a "Tli" and Pairt Ilrarlr Fur it. There was a small party of four gen tlemen. On the first day of tho races at Point Bree.e fortune smiled on them. They "struck" a winner and everything was lovely and the gooso hung high. In the gloaming, or dim twilight of the evening, they dinod sumptuously. The menu consisted of green turtle soup, low-neck clmus, soft-shell crabs boiled lobster, spring chicken on toat and porterhouse steak with champagne. They inhaled tho rich perfume from Bosa Perfecto cigars. The waiter was "tipped" with a generous hand. It was a merry bout No thoughts of the future interfered with the pleasures of the feast The scene changes. Late in the even ing of tho last day of the races tho same quartet of gentlemen sneaked into a Ninth street restaurant It was a quiet and solemn procqssion. Each man wore on his face a painful ex pression of misplaced confidence. In a listless manner they sank into rickety chairs. With sunken cres they care fully scanned the solitary greasy menu card. In a confidential and low voice of melting tenderness each man or dered a plate of hash and a "Schuylkill punch." Tho mysterious hash was partaken of in a mysterious silence. There was no levity in the air. It was a quiet sober and temperate feast There were no songs jests nor mirth ovex the "funeral-baked meats." Grace and thanks were alike omitted. The soul-inspiring firzle of Alonte bello champagne was not heard. The bewildering clonds from Rosa Perfecto cigars were not seen. The sad-eyed and double-dyed blonde waitress was not "tipped." The party, individually and collectively, were down to "hard pan." In an evil hour they played a 4"suro tip" on Problem against Alaud Alullcr, and this time they "struck" a loser. Now they were ready to sing "John ny, Get Your Gun." They formed a syndicate, pooled their issues and consolidated their capital. As the leader of the party paid tie forty-cent hash check he incoherently muttered the following words from Whitticr's poem of "Maud Muller. Of all sad words of tlioah: or pn The saddest ar thee: It intzht hare b-en." Philadelphia Item. An American who was on his first trip on an English railway, quite held his breath at the rapid running. When his nervousness rather overcame him, he approached the guard: I say, guard," he Tcntured, this is pretty fast traveling for safety, isn't it?" "Ob, no, sir," replied the guard; "ite never run off the line here, air." "But," said the Yankee quickly, rejtmtinff the pat ronage, 'it is not the line I'm afraid of running oft your blanked little island," THE VALPARAISO AFFAIR. 1lt of the Prralrirnra Ortlrr anrt lntrV tlonaSrnt to Minister Keo-Ad Inquiry to Ho Instituted.

The :ourtnf appeals this morning rendered a de cision in tho Ti'den will case in favor of the heirs of the late Samuel .1. Til-den- The costs are payable out of tho estate. 'lhis renders the Tilden trust void. Samuel J. Tilden died August t. ISSo, at ('rcystonc, his country seat at Yonlt ers. on the Hudson. Mr. Tilden was a public spirited man and made a gener ous will. The family legacies were numerous and he stipulated that in all cases in which special trusts were given for tin bencfitrkof any female the in come should be kept free from the con trol or interference of her husband, should she havo one, such income be ing intended to be sacredly devoted to the separate personal use of the heiress and not to he pledged or incumbered or anticipated by her. The will provided for a free library and reading pmimi at New Lebanon at an expense of from SC.-..000 to S'.iO.OOO, and for a similar institution at Vonk ers nt a cost of from S.-.0.000 to S100.000. A part of these sums was to be set aside .as a fund, the income of which was to support the libraries. The bal ance of the estate, after tho special bequests have been paid, was to be applied to the establishment and maintenance in the cit3 of New York of an institution to le known as the "Tilden Trust" with capacity to es tablish aud maintain a free library and reading room in the city of Now York and to promote such scientific and edu cational objects as the executors and trustees should more particularly desig nate; "such corporations not to havo less than five trustees, with power to till vacancies in their number, nnd in case said institution shall le Incorpor ated in a form and manner satisfactory to said executors." Samuel .1. Tilden carefully prepared his will and inserted a clause barring any person or legatee attempting to contest it from receiving any lienelits. It was considered ironclnd and aston ishment was felt when the heirs first announced that the would contest it The decision this morning breaks the will of one of America's foremost law yers, deprives New York, New Icb nnon and Yonkers of their libraries and the public from receiving any ben efit from the great statesman's large nnd generous bequests. To I'rrvrnt Collisions. Mrxcin. Ind., Oct 28. Superintend ent A. (J. Wells of the Cleveland and Indianapolis division of the I5ig Four, lias issued a bulletin requiring that the engineer nnd conductor must sign their own train orders, and that the receiving operator must read the order to them and then they must read it to each other. Any conductor signing for his engine man will be discharged and the engineer and any operator failing to read the train orders will be dismissed. A few days since a conductor on a pas senger train signed for his engineer, and mistook the order in such a man ner that his train and the Southwestern limited express met on the main track near Ansonia, O., and a collision was only averted in a miraculous manner. Hence the bulletin. Train Ilobber Fonnd C'nllty. Fort Smith, Oct 2s.
