SENATE AND HOUSE OF REPR SENTATIVES
J. 8ynopla of Proceeding * In the Henata and
JUqum mf Iteoretetxtallcet.
Sksate. In tho bonato on tho 5th a
message from tho president was received
vetoing tho bill grouting a pension to
Mary Ann Doherty. Tho president
shows the bad character of the woman ,
aud that the husband , ou account of
whoso death n pension was desired , is
alive and is himself drawing n pension.
lie says ho would yield to no man in a
desire to see those who had defended tho
government liberally treated , but tho
pension list should bo a roll of honor
and not a matter of indiscriminate alms
giving. The conference report on the
agricultural appropriation bill was pre
sented and explained in detail by Mr.
Plumb. The conference report was con
curred in and a further conference was
asked , on sorghum. A conference was
ordored on tho postoflico appropriation
bill , and Senators Plumb , Allison and
Beck appointed.
IIorsE. In tho house on tho 5th sev
eral unimportant bills wcro reported
and referred and tho house then went
into committee of the whole on the bill
for the settlement of tho claims of tho
statu of Florida for expenses incurred
in suppressing Indian hostilities. The
morning hour having expired tho bill
went over without action , and Mr. IIol-
inati called up tho senate land grant for
feiture bill with amendments niudo by
tho house committee after substitute
amendments had been offered. Tho
iirt proposition in order was Mr. Store's
amendment to make tho forfeiture com
plete as to all lands where tho terms of
the grant had not been complied with.
The aif endment was rejected ; yeas GO ,
nnys 101. The question was then put
on Mr. Payson's minority amendment ,
winch was similar to the senate bill.
The amendment was rejected ; yeas 71 ,
nays 1)2. ) Tho committee's substitute
was then adopted , and , tho question re
curring on the passage of tho bill as
amended , tho voto resulted 141 yeas ,
unj's 121 no quorum.
Senate. In the senate on the 2d the
river and harbor bill Avas considered.
Tho demand for a separate vote on tho
Hennepin canal amendment was with
drawn by Vest , on the suggestion that
tho question might bo left to tho confer-
euco committee , but subsequently a mo
tion to reconsider was mado b } ' Sher
man. As to the amendment abolishing
th Missouri river commission , Vest
offered to withdraw it at the request of
Piddock , but Plumb insisted upon a
voto being taken and made an argument
against the further continuance of tho
commission. At the close of a long dis-
cus > ion tho amendment abolishing tho
Missouri river commission was disagreed
to. Tho bill was then passed. It ap
propriates S02,47-f.7S3 , having been in
creased by tho senato § 912,000. On mo
tion of Hoar tho fishery treaty and Mor
gan's resolution thereupon were post
poned till Tuesday next.
IfocsE. In the house on tho 1st
among bills introduced and referred was
.one by Anderson , of Iowa , providing
for the control and regulation of rail
roads acquired by the IJnited States un
der judicial foreclosure or forfeiture.
This is tho bill introduced by Anderson
in April last. It is a very long measure ,
and Anderson demanded its reading in
full in order to consume time and pre-
. prevent as long as possible the offering
of the motion for tho passage of tho Un-
iou Pacific funding bill under a suspen
sion of the rules. For au hour and a
half the reading clerk was uninterrupted
in his monotonous reading of the bill ,
but at 12:30 the proceedings were diver-
sifiett b3 * Bland with a motion to ad
journ , which was , however , declared out
of order pending the reading , and again
the wearjclerk resumed his task
Finally the reading was concluded , but
Anderson , of Iowa , was on his feet and
Immediately introduced a bill to estab
lish a municipal code for the District of
Columbia a volume of 321 pages and
called for its reading.
ILLUMINATION OF SEVEN HUNDRED MILES.
Ttia Display that the State of Oregon is to
J/ii7. ? on the Fourth.
Portland fUrs. ) dispatch : Oregon is
going to have an illumination on the
Fourth of July which will no doubt at
tract attention around the world. Last
year a imrty of five adventurous and
sturdy young men ascended Mount
Hood nearly to the summit , which is
12,300 feet high , each carrying twenty
poundof red lire , and at 11:30 p. m.
set tire to it. The illumination was
seen in this city , fifty-two miles distant
as the crow llies , by more than forty
thousand people , who were watching
for it , and persons living in southeast
ern Oregon , 110 miles from tho "snowy
sentinel , " saw the blaze plainly.
This year a chain of snow-covered
peaks , stretching from northern Cali
fornia , nearly to the British Columbia
line , a distance of 700 miles , will be il-
Iitniiimted with red fire. Tho commit
tee in charge of the coming celebration
iu this city smrtedthe ball rolling b } * a
liberal appropriation for illuminating
Mounts Hood. St. Helen's and Adams ,
all three within sixty miles of Portland.
The matter has been placed in tho
bunds of William G. Steel , secretary of
the Oregon Alpine c'ub , who will super
intend personally the work on Mount
Hood. lie has already organized a
party of eight , and will leave here June
30. Other Portland parties will attend
to Adams and St Helen's.
A iwrty from Eugene will illuminate
the Three Sisters , near the head of the
Williaraette valley , about 120 miles south
of here , and a party from Ashland will
illuminate Mount "Pitt , a peak forty
miles north of the California. Arrange
ments have been perfected by the citi
zens of Sissons , Cal. , to burn red fire on
the summit of Shasta. Ihey will have
to undergo little hardship , as the grand
est of Pacific coast snow peaks is only
sixteen miles distant. The citizens of
SeattleV . T. , will iiluminato Mount
Ifcunwr , and the Port Townsend people
are expected to take care of Mount
Baker.
Should tho night prove cloudless , r.
person on any of the hills back of Port
land will be able to see thy fire burning
t n five mountains , namely , Eainer , St.
Helta's , Adams. Hood and the Three
Sinters. Each illuminating partjwill be
Wo to see the work of at least one of
tke others. K&iuier will be able to see
Hood , Hood to see tho Three Sisters ,
aad so on down to Shasta. The only
problem i > the weather. Ascents of the
mountains have been made innumerable
tiM s and it "was demonstrated last year
that one man if he be strong and willing
eaa pack a load of twenty pounds.
Those who touch off the red fire must
rmmu on the summit until daylight , and
this requires what Bobert Collyer , the
Scoth. blacksmith , calls "clear grit ; " bnt
n enough have been found to do it.
Oregon boys are made of the same stuff
as our brave , restless forefathers , who
outran the prophetic visions of Cooper ,
conquered savages , and being halted by
the Pacific ocean , turned around and
formed in this wilderness a great state.
Judge Bapallo , of the New York courl
of appeals , has decided , in order that a
trust devised for the procurement ol
masses for the repose of a soul shall be
valid , that there most bo a beneficiary
deai aated by the testator.

Opening or Ihe Cincinnati Exposition.
Tho gates of tho Cincinnati exposition
woro thrown open at 9 o'clock on tho
morning of tho 4 th. At 11 o'clock the
formal opening exercises began at Mu
sic hall. Tho stago was filled with tho
May festival chorus and Cincinnati or
chestra. Tho entranco of Governor
Foraker , Governor Thayer of Nebraska ,
Governor Gray of Iudiana , Governor
Beaver of Pennsylvania , with their bril
liant staffs , and Hon. John Sherman
and Hon. Benjamin Butterworth , was a
signal for hearty applause An elo
quent pra3or was offered by Bov.
Georgo P. Thaj'or. Governor Foraker
made tho welcoming address. Ho be
gan by naming the governors and others
who wero present upon tho platform.
"When ho named tho Inst on the list ,
"that illustrious son of Ohio , Senator
Sherman , " there was a tempest of ap-
plauso Avhich bid fair to interrupt tho
proceedings.
Governor Foraker made tho point that
this exposition was national in its char
acter , intended to bo illustrative and
commemorative of the progress of Ohio
and the central states in the past centu
ry. It was but a foAV minutes of 12
o'clock and President Allison announced
that thoy would Avnit for the signal from
Mrs. Polk to start tho machinery. Sud
denly a gong in tho hall sounded. A
ripplo of applause ansAvered tho signal ,
and Governor Foraker explained to tho
audience that the gong had been sound
ed by electricity touched l > 3r tho finger
of Mrs. Polk at her home in Nashville.
Then tho little ten-year-old daughter of
President James Allison , stopped to the
side of tho stage , and , pressing an elec
tric button , gaAro tAvelve signals on the
gong , and put in motion the ponderous
machinery of tho exposition. President
Allison then formally declared tho expo
sition open. After this brief addresses
Avcro made by tho gentlemen named ,
Governors Thayer , Gray and Beaver ,
Lieuteimut Governor Bryan , Hon. Ben
jamin Buttterworth and Hon. John
Sherman , and tho ceremonies were
ended. Tho great parade started
promtly at 2:30 and moved without seri
ous delay over a six milo route. It re
quired two hours to pass a given point
and was Avitnessed throughout by de
lighted crowds.
THE PARNELLITES VS. THE D0NNELLITES.
From Whom tho London "Times" is & irj > -
jyoseit to Have Got Its liifurniation.
London , July ( J. The Parueliitea ae
nounco O'Donnell for tha course he pursued
in his nction against the Times. They
Buspect that Ryan , the man known as "No.
1. " is tho person from whom the Times got
its information concerning tho league. In
the lobbies of the h use of commons to-rlay
the members of the Iri ih party denied that
ParnelLevcr paid liyruo 100 Ihey said
the 100 given by him was in the shape of
checks signed by Justice McCarthy aud
represented league subscriptions.
Oa the assembling of tho commons to
day Parnell rose to make an explanation
concerning tho statements mado in connec
tion with the O'Donnell-Times trial. Ho
said the upshot of the trial prevented his
testimony on oath , and therefore ho would
tender a statement to the house. He took
up each of the etters and statements al
leged against him on the trial , and denied
them seriatem. Tho letters ho mo
tioned by date separately and characterized
each as forgery. He added : "If they are
credited it makes out that I deliberately
put myself in tho power of a murderer ; that
I Avas an accessory to the Phoenix park
before anu after the fact , and that I entered
Kiluiainham jail desiring to assassinate Mr.
Forester. Tlio absurdity of the Avhole se
ries of letters , Avith few exceptions , shows
thom to be forgeries. "
Justin McCarthy , it was announced ,
would also make a personal explaaation to
tho bouse later in the day. The costs in
curred by the Times in defending the suit
brought by O'Donnell amount to 12,000.
It will try to make O'Donnell liable for tho
amount.
Not Much'to Expect from Congress.
"Washington special : Interest in con
gress is diverted toAvnrd politics. There
is now no hope for any general legisla
tion ofgreat importance at this session.
The work of the committees is done ,
and the result is upon the calendars of
the two 'houses. The senate is far
ahead of the house in clearing up its
work. Tho senate calendar has but six-
toen pages , Avhile that of the house has
considerably above one hundred. They
have introduced already about fourteen
thousand bills in this session. r&There
has been action b3' committees on about
one-third this number , and the tAA-o
houses Avill take action upon one-half or
one-third of those acted upon by tho
committees so that 8 or 10 per cent of
tho measures proposed will become laws.
More than half of these probably two-
thirds ai-e pension bills for individuals.
There is no prospect for any general
pension legislation in this congress.
Only about one-half of the congress
ional districts throughout tho country
have made nominations , and probably
one-third or one-fourth of them will not
nominate until about the time congress
adjourns , which is now beligA'ed to be
about the second week in August. This
causes great anxiety among many mem
bers in the house , and they AA'ill bend
every effort to get aAvay as soon as possi
ble. If it were not for the pending tariff
bill there would be absolutely no inter
est taken in the proceedings of the house
or the senate beyond private bills , and
there are not many members Avho have
measures of local interest now. The dis
cussion on the tariff bill , Qf course ,
keeps up interest to a considerable ex
tent , inasmuch as almost daily articles
in the bill are reached which have a local
bearing to almost every member. If the
tariff bill should be disposed of as antic
ipated by Mr. Mills , within two or three
weeks the interest in tho house will go
out like the bottom from a tub.
A Great Sensaiion in St Louis.
St. Louis , Mo. , July 7. The most
startling social sensation that has occurred
here for years was revealed to the public
this afternoon , when it was announced that
Heury W. Moore , manager of tho Post Dis-
jhttchj and tho wiic of John W. Norton ,
manager of tho Graud opera house aud
Olympic theatre , left tho city together lat
night. It appears the couple have
been unduly intimate for o\"er a
year. On Thursday evening Morton met
Moore and Mrs. Norton at the corner ol
Lucas aud Jefferson avenuesaud , attempted
to shoot Mooie , but avus disarmed by a
friend. Mrs.Norton yesterday removed
her money and other valuables from the
safe deposit compauy , amounting to about
S20.00U , and at 10 o'clock last night she
and Mooro left the city in a carriage.
Moore has a most estimable Avife , Avho is
now at Manitou Springs.
The Crop Outlook Satisfactory.
Washington dispatch : The weekly
crop Aveather bulletin says : The weather
for tho past week has been favorable for
all growing crops in the wheat , corn
and tobacco regions in the Ohio , upper
Mississippi and Missouri valleys , and
Tennessee. Heavy rains doubtless inter
fered with harvesting from Missouri
eastward to Virginia. Beports from the
interior of the middle states indicate
that rains have been very beneficial to
the growing crops.
Drowned in Lake Johanna.
St. Paul ( Minn. ) dispatch : One of
the saddest cases of drowningthat has
boon recorded in this locality for a num
ber of years occurred at Lake Johanna
this afternoon. This lake is situated
about six miles from St. Paul and is
often visited by numerous pleasure par
ties avIio desire to spend a quiet day and
enjoy tho fishing and rowing. Harry
C. Tucker , clerk of tho Byan hotel , ac
companied by his Avife , his sister and
father , AAont out to tho lako after dinner
to spend tho afternoon and evening.
Mr. Tucker's father , and his 6ister , Mrs.
Deisinger , are residents of Amsterdam ,
N. Y. , and came to St. Paul only a short
time ago on a visit to their relatiA'es
here. After the party had arrived at
tho hotel it Avas decided to go for a boat
ride , and Mrs. Tucker being rather tim
id , preferred to remain on the bank and
AA-atch the party. Mr. Tucker took the
oars , and accompanied only by his fa
ther and sister started out OA'er the lake.
Thoy had reached a point about a quar
ter of a mile from the shore Avhen , from
some cause at present unknown , tho
boat capsized and the three occupants
were precipitated into the lake. Mrs.
Tucker screamed for help , but long bo
fore anyone could go to the rescue , all
three of tho former occupants of the
boat wero lost sight of and drowned in
sight of the distracted wife on the shore.
Tho details of the sad affair are , at this
hour , very meagre , but it is learned that
Harry Tucker made a desperato effort
to save his sister. As ho could reach hor
after coming to the surface he started to
sAvim ashore , but became exhaused , and
the two sank together and Avere seen no
more. The old gentleman A\-as also seen
to bo swimming shoreAvard , but ho dis
appeared from vieAv soon after his son
and daughter sunk to the bottom. It is
said that Harry could haA-e easily saved
himself , but he exhausted his efforts to
rescue his sister , and being u man of

* ( low to Down ihe Landlords.
Now York special : Dr. McGlynn was
in a jovial humor last night , and with
many a wink and grimace unfolded to
the anti-poverty society , in the great
hall of Cooper union , a plan for bring
ing the landlords down to the plane up
on which the anti-poverty society de
sires to meet them. This was a combi
nation to refuse to pay rent. "Sup
pose , " said the doctor , "that five , ten ,
fifteen or twenty thousand tenants
should , on a given day , say to the land
lords , 'Wo will pay you no more ground
rent , bnt only a fair house-hire for your
hire , 'don't you think it Avould be a
good while before the landlords could
evict them ? At first there must be a no
tice , then a trial in the district courts
before tenants could be turned out.
The district courts are limited in num
ber. I think there are only about eight
of them. It might take a good many
months to expedite those processes. In
the meantime those tenants would bo
living in these houses rent free. The
victory would almost be won. " In this
strain the priest of the new crusade
talked nearly three quarters of an hour.
He said the scheme was legal and prac
ticable. It might be well to try it on
some tenement house block and mildly
boycott the premises.
Tho Crop Outlook in Kansas.
The Kansas Farmer presents reports
from special correspondents in seventy
counties of the state , sho\A'ing a very
goodcondition of things generally
among the farmers. Wheat is tho best
had since 1881. It is about all harvested
and saved. Heavy yields are reported
in many cases. The average will be
fully equal to that of the best year
twenty-two bushels to the acre.
The corn acreage is the largest ever
reported in any one year in the history
of Kansas , and the stand and condition
are reported good in every part of the
state. With favorable weather there
will be 200,000,000 bushels to show for
the work of 1888. In new counties farm
ers are in a happy mood. Corn , millet
and grasses of nil kinds are growing vig
orously , and garden vegetables are in
luxuriant groAvth. Alfalfa , sorghum ,
rice corn nnd kaffir are in the best pos
sible condition. Bye is good every
where. A few localities suffered from
dry weather and chinch bugs in early
June , and an occasional field of corn
has been attacked along the edges by
bugs , but these exceptions are really
very few. The truth is , that Kansas , as
a whole , is in excellent condition , with
encouraging prospects all along the line.
There is plenty of time yet to make up
for all shortages in the earlier part of
the season.

Disastrous Boiler Explosions.
PiTTSBUP.G , " Pa. , July G. A battery of
boilers at the tannery of A. & J. Groet-
zinjjer , AUegheney City , exploded this
afternoon , wrecking several buildings and
seriously injuring six persons , three of
whom wijl probably die. The cause
of tho explosion is belie\-ed to
be high pressure. Engineer Wetzel was ,
blown through the roof of the tannery
and landed in the yard outside. One side
of the main building was blown out and
the boiler house was totally demolished.
A heavy doable wagon was blown against
Wetzel's residence , sixty feet away , and
crushed the side of the house in. One sec
tion of the boiler was carried across the
Allegheny river , a distance of 1,000 feet. '
Another piece struck the school house , 1,200
feet aAvay , and tore out the end of the r
building. A ecene of the wildest excite- )
ment followed the explosion. Fully sixty .
men were at work in the tannery.

Ono Way of Reforming a Tippler.
If 3 ou have iu your family that com- j
mon nuisance , a reprobate of eithet
sex in Avhom no ability is apparent .
save one ability to drink a prohibi
tion township dry iu a week ; in Avhorn
the appetite for drink is omnipresent
and unappeasable ; in Avhom respect
for self and consideration for others j
aro drowned by whisky , beer , or any
other of tho fiondish rivers which
sweep immortal souls to perdition ; if
you have such an undesirable append- !
age to your household. 1 have a Avord
of good cheer for 3011 , says the Topi
cal talker in the Pittsburg Dispatch.
For years and years a respectable
family in this city wero terrified and
subjected to all sorts of annoyances
and mortifications by tho drunken
habits of one of its members. This in
dividual was a parent , a man , avIio
Avas old enough to command respect
if he had ever been founi } sober. His
children tried all sorts of plans to re
form him. His Avritten pledges to be
temperate would make a thick vol
ume , and if the recording angel isn'l
tired of marking crosses against this
inebriate father's name for breaches
of verbal promises it is because angels
never get wearj * .
But a happy thought struck one ol
the children a year or so ago. The
old man had ljeen born in Iceland and
some of his family still resided there.
The children held a council and re
solved to send the old man back to his
native heaths. They raised enough
money to ond bjm home , and very
easily persuaded him To g * b on board
the steamer. They gave him no mon
ey , but saw to it that his way was paid
right through.
They didn't buy him a return ticket.
His relations in Ireland are the
poorest of the poor , and they couldn't
Send h im back. So the family over
here is happily released permanently
from the shadow of a drunkard's dis
grace.
A small sum is sent for tho aged
sinner's support to his relatives in Ire
land. But tho .amount is limited to
his absolute needs and there is na
danger of his ever coming back.
Wouldn't Take His Word For It.
Among the Yankees there is occa
sionally a man who seems to fiud it
almost impossible to answer a question
with a plain "yes" or "no. " He has
a way of his own of expressing tho
affirmative or negative , which he finds
quite as effective as a flat "yes" or
"no. "
One dav Ephraim Z , a young up-
country farmer , who had the peculiar
ity of making indirect answers , ap-
peai'ed before a minister to be married
to Seraphina Y , a comely andAeli -
to-do woman , Avhom ho had long wooed
and had finally wod.
The " minister began the ceremony.
"Do you , Ephraim , take this woman ,
Seraphina , to be your lawful wife ? "
Ephraim grinned.
"Wall he ! he ! I guess I do. " said
Ephraim.
"Answer me 'yes' " said the minis-
ter quietly.
And then he repeated :
• Do you , Ephraim , take this Avoman ,
Seraphina , to bo your lawful Avife. "
Ephraim scratched his ear and an
swered :
"Wal , I don't say I won't , parson. "
"That will not do. " said the minis
ter firmly. "Answer me categorical-
ly. "
"What ! " exclaimed Ephraim , indig
nantly. "He won't lake my word for
it , eh ? " '
Here the voting woman began to cry.
and Ephraim Avas finally induced to
say vYes" in answer to the question.
Some of his friends think it was the
only time he hid ever said it right out.

"When Jsu3 Thoreforo Had Received tho
Vinecar. "
umcAno , luJuly a. The Kev. T.
DeWlttTalraagc , D. 1) . , of UrooKljn , preach
ed I11 this cltT this evening. Ho is hero on
his w y home from a tour of tho Chautau-
quas In Missouri , Kansas and Minnesota.
The Doctor had an enormous auditory. Ills
subject was 'Sour Experiences , " and lib
text : "When Jesus therefore had received
the vinegar. " John xlx. 30. The sermon
Aras as follows :
The brigands of Jerusalem had done their
work. It was almost sundown , and Jesus
was dying. Persons In crucifixion often
lingered on from day to day crylujr , beg
ging , cursing : hut Christ had been exhaust
ed by years of maltreatment. Flllowlcss ,
poorly fed , flogced as beut over and tied to
a low post. Ills hare back was Inflamed with
the scourges interstlced with pieces of
lead and bones and now for whole hours ,
the Avelght of His body hung on delicate
tendons , aud according to custom , a violent
stroke under the armpits had becu given by
the executioner. Dizzy , swooning , nauseated ,
feverish a world of agony Is compressed In
the two Avords : "I thirst ! " O skies ot
Judca , let n dropot rain strike on Ills hum-
luir tongue. O world , with rolling rivers ,
and Bparklliiir lakes , and ppraylug fountains ,
giA'c Jesus something to drink. If there he
any pity in earth , or heaven , or hell , let It
no it be demonstrated In behalf of this royal
sufferer. The wealthy women of Jerusalem
used to have a fund ot money with which
they provided wine for those people
avIio died In cruclllxlon a powerful
ophite to deaden the pain , hut Christ
would not take it. He wanted to die
eober , and so He refused the wine. But af-
terwnrd they go to a cup of vinegar and soak
a sponge In It and put It ou a stick of hyssop ,
and then press It against the hot Ilps of
Christ. You say that the wine was an an
aesthetic , and Intended to relieve or deaden
the pain. But lhe vinegar was an Insult. I
am disposed to adopt the theory of the old
English commentators , who believed that in
stead of Its bt'ing-an opiate to soothe , It was
vinegar to insult. Malaga and Burgundy for
graud dukes and duchesses , and costly
wines from royal vals for bloated Imperials ;
but stinging acids for a dj lug Christ. He
took the vinegar.
In some lives the saccharine seems to pre
dominate. Life is sunshine on a bank of
ilowers. A thousand hands to clap approval.
In December or In January , looking across
their table , they see all their family present.
Health rubicund. Skies llamboyant. Days
resilient But in a great many cases there
are not so many smrars as acids. The an
no } auces , aud the vexations , and the disap
pointments of life overpower the successes.
There is agraA'el In almost every shoe. An
Arabian legeud say that there was a worm
in Solomon's staff , gnawing Its strength
away ; aud there Is a weak spot Iu every
earthly supi ort that a man leans on. King
George of Englaud torgot all the grandeurs
of ins throne because , one day in an inter
view , Beau Brmnmcll called him by his lirst
name , and addressed him as a servant , cry
ing : "George , ring the belli" Miss Langdou ,
honored all the world over for her poetle
genius , Is so worried over the evil reports set
alio it regaidmg her , that she is found dead ,
At 1th an emptybottle of prussic acid iu her
hand. Goldsmith said that his life was a
wretched being , and that all that
want and contempt could bring to
it had becu brought , and cries
out : "What , then , is there formidable In a
jaiW" Corrcgglo's tine painting Is hung up
for a tavern sign. Hogarth cannot sell his
best painting except through a rallle. An
drew Delsart makes the great fresco In the
Church of the Aunuuciata , at Florence , and
gets for pay a sacc ! of corn ; and there are
annoyances and vexations in high places as
well as iu low places , showing that in a great
man } ' lives the sours are greater than , the
sweets. "When Jesus therefore had receiv
ed tlie vinegar. "
It is absurd to think a man who has always
been Avell can sympathize Avith those who
are sick or that one who has always been
honored can appreciate the sorrow of those
who are despised ; or tlfat oue who has been
born to a great fortuue can understand the
distress and the straits of those who are desti
tute. The fact that Christ Himself took the
vinegar makes Him able to sympathize to-day
and for ever Avith all those whose cup Is fill
ed with.sharp acids of this life. lie took the
vinegarl
Iu the first place , there is the sourness of
betrayal. The treachery of Judas hurt
Christ's feeling's more than all the friend
ship of His disciples did Him good. You have
had many friends ; but there was one friend
upon whom you put especial stress. You
feasted him and loaned him money. You be
friended him in the dark passes of life , when
he especially needed a friend. Afterward ,
he turned upon you , and he took advantage
of your former Intimacies. He wrote against
you. He talked against you. He micro-
scopized your faults. He flung contempt at
you when you ought to have received noth
ing but gratitude. At first , you could not
sleep at nights. Then you went about with
a sense of having been 6tung. That diffi
culty avIU never be healed , for
though mutual friends may arbitrate in
the matter until you shall"shake hands ,
the old cordially will never come again. Now
I commend to all such the sympathy of a be
trayed Christ. Why , they sold Him for less
than our twenty dollars ! They all forsook
Him , and fled. They cut Him to the quick.
He drank that cup of betrayal to the dregs.
He took the vinegar.
There is also the sournes3 of pain. There
are some of 3-011 Avho have not seen a well
day for many years. Ej ICSepfiig out of
draughts , and bv carefully studying dietetics ,
you continue to this time ; but O , the head
aches , and the sideaches , and the backaches
and the heartaches which have been your
accompaniment all the way through ! You
have struggled under a heavy mortgage of
physical disabilities ; and Instead of the pla
cidity that once characterized you , it is now
only Avith great effort that you keep away
from irritability and short retort. Difhcultics
of respiration , of digestion , of locomotion ,
make up the great obstacle Jn your life , and
you tug and sweat along the pathway , and
wonder when the exhaustion will end. My
friends , the brightest crowns in heaven will
not be given to those who. In stirrups , dashed
to the cavalry charge , while the general ap
plauded , and the sound of clashing sabres
rang through the land ; but the brightest
crowns In heaven , I believe , will be given to
those Avho trudged on and amid chronic ail
ments which unnerved their strength , yet all
the time maintaining their faith in Go 'd. It
Is comparatively easy to fight in a regiment
of a thousand men , charging up the parapets
to the sound of martial music ; but it is not
so easy to endure when no one but the nurse
and the doctor are the witnesses of the
Christian fortitude. Besides that you never
had any pain3 worse than Christ's. The sharp
ness that stung through His braic , through
His hands , through His feet , through His
heart , were as great as yours certainly. He
was as sick and as weary. Not a nerve , or a
muscle , cr ligament escaped. All the pangs
of all the nations of all the ages compressed
into one sour cup. He took the vinegar !
There is also thesournes3 of poverty. Your
income doe3 not meet your outgoings , and
that always glyes an honest man anxiety.
There Is no sign ol destitution about you
pleasant appearance , and a cheerful home for
von ; but God only knows what a time you
have had to manage your private finances.
Just as the bills run up , the wage3 fceera to
run down. But you are not the only one'Avho
has not been paid for hard work. The great
"Wilkie sold his celebrated piece , "The Blind
Fiddler , " for fifty guineas , although after
wards it brought its thousands. The world
hangs in admiratiou over the sketch of
Gainsborough , yet that verssketch hung for
years in the shop windowbecause there was
not any purchaser. Oliver Goldsmith sold his
"Vicar of Wakefield" for a few pounds , In
order to keep the bailiff out of the door ; and
the vast majorily of men in all occupations
and professions are not paid for their work.
You may say nothing , but life to a-ou Is a
hard push ; and when you sit down with your
wife and talk over the expenses , you both
rise up discouraged. You abridge here , and
you abridge there , and you get things snug
for smooth sailings , and fo ! suddenly there Is
a large doctor's bill to pay , or you have lost
vour pocketbook , or some creditor has failed ,
and you are thrown a-beam end. Well ,
brother , you are in glorious company. Christ
owned not the house in Avhich he stopped , or
the colt ou which He rode , or the boat in
which he sailed. * ne lived In a borrowed
house ; He was burled in a borrowed
grave. Exposed to all kinds
ot weather , yet He had only
one suit of clothes. He breakfasted in the
morning , and no one could possibly tell where
He could get anvthlng to eat before night.
He would have been pronounced a financial
lallure. He had to perform a miracle to get

Then there Is the sourness of the death-
hour. Whatever else avo may escape , that Bj
acid sponge will be pressed to our lips. I I
sometimes have a curiosity to know how I
will behave when I come to die. Whether I H
will be calm or excited whether I will be
filled with reminiscence or with anticipation. H
Icannotsar. But come to tho point , I mint B
and you must. Iu the six thousand years
that have passed , onlv two persons have got
Into the eternal world without death , and I
do not suppose that God Is going to send a H
carriage for us with horses of flame , to draw H
us up the steeps of heaven ; but I suppose BJ
we will have to go like the preceding gener- H
ations. An officer from the future world will H
knock at the door of our heart and serve on H
us the writ of ejectment , and we will have to M
surrender. And wc will wake up after these Bl
autumnal , and wintry , and vernal , and sum- M
mery glories have vanished fron our vision M
we will wake up Into a realm which has only M
one season , and that the season of everlast- M
Inglovc. But you say : "I don't want to M
break out from my present associations. fl
It is so chilly aud so damp to go down M
the stairs of that vault. I don't want any- BB
thing drawn so tightly over my eyes. If thcro BB
were only some way of breaking through tho
partition between worlds without tearing this B
body all to shreds. I wonder if the surgeoii3
and the doctors cannot compound a mlxturo BJ

So I look over this audience to-day the vast | Bfl

all of us will be gone gone from earth , and BH
gone for ever. A great many men tumble j BJ
through the gates of the future , as it were ,
aud Arc do not know where they have gone. BBJ
and tlicv only add gloom and mystery to the BJ
passage ; but Jesus Christao mightily stormed BJ
the gates of that future world , that they BJ
have never since been closely shut. Christ "Am
knows what it is to leave this world , of the j BBJ
beauty of which lie was more appreciative BBJ
than wc ever could be. He knots the ex- BBJ
nulsltcncss of the phosphorcsencc of the sea ; H
He trod It. He knows the glories of the m d- BJ
night heavens ; for they were the spangled BBJ
canopy of His wilderness pillow. He knows BBJ
about the lilies ; He twisted them into His BBJ
sermon. He knows about the fowls of the BBJ
air ; they whirred their way through his dls- BBJ
course. He knows about the sorrows of rBfB
leaving H1I3 beautiful world. Not a taper BJ
was kindled in the darkness. He died ptiysl- B B
cianless. He died In cold sivent , and diz/.i- BBJ
uess , and hemorrhage , and agony that have m
put Him in sympathy with all the dying. He ffATJ
goes through Christendom , and He gathers B
up the stiiigs out of all the death pillowsBBI
aud He puts them under Ills own neck and BB
head. He gathers on His own tongue the BB
burning thirsts of many genera- BB
tions. The sponge Is soaked in the fBffl
sorrows of all thoso who have H
died iu their beds as well as soaked in the B BJ
sorrow of all those who perished in ley or Bfl

burdens. When you have a trouble of any BBBJ
-kind , you rush this way , and that way , BBBJ
and you wonder what this man will say |
about it ; and you try this prescription. O , J H
why do you not go straight to the heart of. BBBB
Christ , knowing that for our own BH
sinning and suffering race , He took { h ? BBBB
There was a vessel that had been tossed on H
the seas for a great many weeks , and been BBBj
disabled , and the supply of water gave out , mBI
and the crew were dying ot thirst. After Jmi
many days , they saw a sail against the sky. pBBj
They signalled it. When the vessel came JBr
nearer , the people on the suffering ship cried ImmJ
to the captain of the other vessel : |
"Send us some water. We are dying H
for lack of water. " And the |
captain on the vessel that was hailed re- _
sponded : "Dip your buckets Avhere you arc , _
You are In the mouth of the Amazon , and |
there are scores of miles cf fresh water all
around about you , and hundreds of feet |
deep. " And then they dropped their buckets pl
over the side of the vessel , and brought up BSbB
the clear , bright , fresh water , and put cut BSb
the fire of their thirst. So I hail you to-day , mmmI
after a long and perilous vorage , thirsting as ]
you are for pardon , and thirsting for comfort , K
and thirsting for eternal life ; and I ask you
what Is the use of your going in that death- _
struck state , while all around you is the deep , _
clear , wide , sparkling flood of God's sympaBTmmI
thetlc mercy. O , dip your buckets , and _
drink , and live for ever. "Whosoever will , BBBBJ
let him come and take of the water of life
BBBBJ
Yet , my utterance Is almost choked at the H
thought that there are people here who will _
refuse this Divine sympathy ; and they will
try to fight their own battles , and drink their BmTmT |
own vinegar , and carry their own burdens ; _
and their life , instead of being a triumphal mmTmJ
march from victory to victory , will be a hobmBBBJ
bling-on from defeat to defeat , until they _
make final surrender to retributive disaster.
O , I wish I could to day gather up in mine BBB
arm3 all the woes of men and women all
their heart-aches all their disappointments HBBBJ
all their chagrins and just take them right mmTmTJ
to the feet of a sympathizing Jesu3. He took BBBBJ
the vinegar. BBBBJ
Nana Sahib , after he had lost his last battle H
in India , fell back into the jungles of I her : BBBBJ
jungles so full of malaria that no BBB
mortal can live there. He carried BBBB
with him also a ruby of great lustre and BBBB
of great value. He died in those jungles ; his BmBB
body was never found , aud the ruby has never BBBB
yet been recovered. And I fear that to-day J
there are some who will fall from this subject BBBB
into the sickening , killing jungles of their s ' n. mmBBJ
carrying a gem of infinite value a priceless mmBBJ
soul to be ' lost forever. O , that that ruby BBBBJ
might flash iu the eternal coronal on. But BBBBJ
no. There are some , I fear. In this audience BBBB
who turn away from this offered mercy , and BBBB
comfort , and Divine srmpathv ; notw thstaudBBBJ
ing that Christ , for all who would ac-ept Hi * BmBJ
grace , trudged the long way , and suffered ihe |
lacerating thong3. and received in ills face H
the exporations of the filthy mob , an 1 for the BmBB
guilty , and the discouraged , ami the dlscomjBBBB

Almighty break the infatuation , and lead you BBJ
