ii t ti-A Wonderful Camera , '
EW YORK , July 28 ,
1895.-Rev. Dr. Tal-
mage , who is still
absent on his summer -
mer preaching tour
In the West and
Southwest , has prepared -
pared fortoday a
sermon on "The
All-Seeing , " the text
selected being
Psalm 94:9 , "He
that formed the eye ,
shall he not see ? "
The imperial organ of the human system -
tem Is the eye. All up and down the
Bible God honors it , extols it , illustrates
it , or arraigns It. Five hundred and
thirty-four times it Is mentioned in the
Bible. Omnlpresence-"the eyes of the
Lord are In'eve ry place. " Divine care
as the apple of , the eye. The clouds
-"the eyelids of the morning. " Irrever-
* ence-"the eye that mocketh at its
r' ' father. " Prlde-"Oh , how lofty are their
' eyes ! " Inattention-"the '
- fool's eye in
t ' the ends of the earth , " Divine Inspec-
r tion-"wheels full of eyes. " Sudden-
ness-n the twinkling of an eye at
the last trump. Olivetic sermon-
"the light of the body is the eye. " This
morning's text "He that formed the
eye , shall he not see ? " The surgeons ,
the doctors , the anatomists and the
physiologists understand much of the
glories of the two great lights of the
human face ; but the'vast multitudes go
on from cradle to grave without any
appreciation of the two great masterpieces -
pieces of the Lord God Almighty. If
God had lacked anything of infinite
i wisdom , he would have failed in creating -
ing the human eye. We wander through
the earth trying to see wonderful
sights , but the most wonderful sight
that we ever see Is not so wonderful as
the instruments through which we see
It. It has been a strange thing to me
for forty years that some scientist , with
enough eloquence and magnetism , did
not go through the country with Ii-
lustated lectures on canvas thirty feet
square , to startle , and thrill , and overt -
t whelm Christendom with the marvels
of the human eye. We want the eye
taken from all its technicalities , and
some one who shall lay aside all talk
about the pterygomaxillary fissures ,
and the sclerotica ; and the chiasma of
the optic nerve , and in common parlance -
lance , which you and I and everybody
can understand , present the subject.
We have learned men who have been
telling us what our origin is and what
we were. Oh ! if some one should come
forth from the dissecting-table and from
the class-room of the university and
take the patform , and , asking the help
of the Creator , demonstrate the wonders -
ders of what we are !
If I refer to the physiological facts
suggested by the former part of my
text , it is only to bring out in a plainer
way the theological lessons of the latter -
ter part of my text , "He that formed
the eye , shall he not see ? " I suppose
my text referred to the human eye ,
I since it excels all others in structure
and In adaptation. The eyes of fish ,
and reptiles , and moles , and bats , are
very simple things , because they have
not much to do. There are insects with
a hundred eyes , but the hundred eyes
have less faculty than the human eyes.
The black beetle swimming the summer -
mer pond has two eyes under water and
two eyes above the water , but the four
insectile are not equal to the two
human. Man , placed at the head of all
living creatures , must have supreme
equipment , while the blind fish in the
Mammoth Cave of Kentucky have only
an undeveloped organ of sight , an
apology for the eye , which , if through
some crevice of the mountain they
should get Into the sunlight , might be
developed into positive eyesight. In
the first chapter of Genesis we find that
God , without any consultation , created
the light , created the trees , created the
fish , created the fowl , but when he was
about to make man he called a convent -
t tion of Divinity , as though to imply
that all the powers of Godhead were to
be enlisted in the achievement. "Let us
make man : ; Put a whole ton of emphasis -
phasis on that word "us. " "Let us make
man. " And if God called a convention
of Divinity to create man , I think the
two great questions in that conference
were how to create a soul and how to
make an appropriate window for that
emperor to look out of.
See how God honored the eye before
he created it. He cried , until chaos was
irradiated with the utterance , "Let
there be light ! " In other words , before
he introduced man into this temple of
the world he illuminated it , prepared it
for the eyesight. And so , after the last
human eye has been destroyed in the
final demolition of the world , stars are
to fall , and the sun is to cease its shining -
, ing , and the moon is to turn into blood.
In other words , after the human eyes
are no more to be profited by their shining -
ing , the chandeliers of heaven are to
be turned out. Gods to educate and to
bless and to help the human eye , set
in the mantel of heaven two lamps-a
gold lamp and a silver lamp-the one
for the day and the other for the night. '
To show how God honors the eye , look
at the two halls built for the residence
of the eyes , seven bones making the
wall for each eye , the seven bones curl-
ously wrought together. Kingly palace
of ivory is considered rich , but the
halls for the residence of the human
eye are richer by srr much as human
bone is more sacred than elephantine
tusk. See how God hcnored the eyes
when he made a root for them , so that
the sweat of toil should not , smart
them ; and the rain d.tshing against the
forehead should not drip into them ;
the eyebrows not bending over the eye ,
but reaching to the right and to the
. left , so that the rain and the sweat i
should be compelled to drop upon thee
cheek , instead of falling into this k
divinely protected human eyesight. See
how God honored the eye in the fact
presented by anatomists and physiologists -
gists that there are eight hundred
trivances in every eye. For window- i
shutters , the eyelids opening and clos-i
ing thirty thousand times a day. The
eyelashes so constructed that they have
their selection as to what shall be admitted -
mitted , saying to the dust , "Stay out ; ' '
and saying to the light , "Come in. " I

or less , contracting or dilating. The
eye of the owl is blind In the daytime ,
the eyes of some creatures are blind
at night , but the human eye so marvelously -
ously constructed can see both by day
and by night. Many of the other creatures -
tures of God can move the eye only
from side to side , but the human eye so
marvelously constructed has one muscle -
cle to lift the eye , and another muscle
to lower the eye , and another muscle
to roll it to the right , and another muscle -
cle to roll it to the left , and another
muscle passing through a pulley to turn
it round and round-an elaborate gearing -
ing of six muscles as perfect as God
could make them. There also is the
retina , gathering the rays of light and
passing the visual impression along
the optic nerve , about the thickness of
the lampwlck-passing the visual impression -
pression on to the sensorium , and on into
the soul. What a delicate lens , what
an exquisite screen , what soft cushions ,
what wonderful ohemistry of the
human eye ! The eye washed by a slow
stream Qf moisture whether we sleep or
wake , rolling imperceptibly over the
pebgle of the eye and emptying into
a bone of the nostril. A contrivance so
wonderful that it can see the sun ,
ninety-five million miles away , and the
point of a pin. Telescope and microscope -
scope In the same contrivance. The astronomer -
tronomer swings and moves this way
and that , and adjusts and readjusts
the telescope until he gets it to the
right focus ; the microscopist moves
this way and that , and adjusts and
readjusts the magnifying glass until
it is prepared to do its work ; but the
human eye , without a touch , beholds
the star and the smallest insect. The
traveler among the Alps , with one
glance taking In Mont Blanc and the
face of his watch to see whether he has
time to climb it.
Oh ! this wonderful camera obscura
which you and I carry about with us ,
so to-day we can take in our friends , so
from the top of Mount Washington we
can take In New England , so at night
we can sweep into our vision the constellations -
stellations from horizon to horizon. So
delicate , so semi-Infinite , and yet the
light coming ninety-five millions of
miles at the rate of two hundred thousand -
sand miles a second is obliged to halt
at the gate of the eye , waiting for admission -
mission until the portcullis be lifted.
Something hurled ninety-five millions of
miles and striking an instrument which
has not the agitation of even winking
under the power of the stroke. There ,
also , is the merciful arrangement of the
tear gland , by which the eye Is washed
and from which rolls the tide which
brings the relief which comes in tears
when some bereavement or great loss
strikes us. The tear not an augmentation -
tion of sorrow , but the breaking up of
the Arctic of frozen grief in the warm
gulf stream of consolation. Incapacity
to weep is madness or death. Thank
God for the tear glands , and that the
crystal gates are so easily opened. Oh !
the wonderful hydraulic apparatus of
the human eye ! Divinely constructed
vision ! Two light-houses at the harbor
of the immortal soul , under the shining
of which the world sails in and drops
anchor. What an anthem of praise to
God is the human eye. The tongue is
speechless and a clumsy instrument of
expression as compared with it. Have
you not seen it flash with indignation
or kindle with enthusiasm , or expand
with devotion , or melt with sympathy ,
or stare with fright , or leer with villainy -
lainy , or droop with sadness , or pale
with envy , or fire with revenge , or twinkle -
kle with mirth , or beam with love ? It
is tragedy and comedy , pastoral and
lyric in turn. Have you not seen its uplifted -
lifted brow of surprise , or its frown of
wrath , or its contraction of pain ? If
the eye say one thing and the lips say
another thing , you believe the eye rather
than the lips. The eyes of Archibald
Alexander and Charles G. Finney were
the mightiest part of their sermons.
George Whitefleld enthralled great assemblages -
semblages with his eyes , though theyy
were crippled with strabismus. Many a
military chieftain has with a look hurled
a regiment to victory or to death. Martin -
tin Luther turned his great eye on an assassin -
sassin who came to take his life , and
the villain fled. Under the glance of
the human eye , the tiger , with five times
a man's strength , snarls back into the
African jungle. But those best appreciate -
ate the value of the eye who have lost
it. The Emperor Adrian by accident put
out the eye of his servant , and he said
to his servant : "What shall I pay
you in , money or in lands ? Anything
you ask me. I am sorry I put your eye
out. " But the servant refused to put
any financial estimate on the value of
the eye , and when the Emperor urged
and urged again the matter , he said :
"Oh , Emperor , I want nothing but my
lost eye. " Alas for those for whom a
thick. and impenetrable vail is drawn
across the face of the heavens and the
faces of one's own kindred. That was a
pathetic scene when a blind man lighted
a torch at night and was found passing
along the highway , and some one said :
"Why do you carry that torch , when
you can't see ? " "Ah , " said he , "I can't
see , but I carry this torch that others
may see me and pity my helplessness
and not run me down. " Samson , the
giant , with his eyes put out by the
Philistines , is more helpless than the
smallest dwarf with vision undamaged.
All the sympathieseof Christ were stirred -
red when he saw Bartimeus with dark-
sned retina , and the only salve he ever
made that we read of was a mixture o !
dust and saliva and a prayer , with
which he cured the eyes of a man blind
from his nativity. The value of the eye
is shown as much by its catastrophe as
by its healthful action. Ask the man
who for twenty years has not seen the
sun rise. Ask the man who for half a
century has not seen the face of a
friend. .As in the hospital the victim of
ophthalmia. Ask the man whose eyesight -
sight perished in a powderblast. Ash the
Bartlmeus Who never met a Christ , or
the man born blind who is to die blind.
Ask him. This morning , in my imperfect -
fect way , I have only hinted at the
splendors , the glories , the wonders , the
divine revelations , the apocalypses of
the human eye , and I stagger buck from
the awful portals of the physiological ,
miracle which must have taxed the ingenuity -
genuity of God , to cry out In ycur ears
the words of my text , "He that fornieth
the eye , shall he not see ? " Shall Her- ,
scope ? Shall Fraunhofer not know alt
much as his spectroscope ? Shall Swam-
merdan not know as much as his mk-
croscope ? Shall Dr. Hooxe not know as
much as his micrometer ? Shall the' '
thing formed know more than its master -
!
ter ? "He that formeth the eye , shall h e
not e" "
s t t
It passes out from the guess into the
poslUve when we are told in the Bible
that the inhabitants of other worlds do
come as convoy to this. Are they not all
ministering spirits , sent forth to minister -
ter to those who shall be heirs of salvation -
tion ? But human inspection and angelic
inspection and stellar Inspection and
lunar inspection and solar inspection
are tame compared with the thought of
divine inspection. "You converted me
twenty years ago , " said a black man to
my father. "How so ? " said my father.
"Twenty years ago , " said the other , "in
the old school-house prayer meeting at
Bound Brook you said In your prayer ,
'Thou , God , seest , me ; and I had no
peace under the eye of God until I be-
c.me a Christian. Hear It : The eyes
of the Lord are in every place , " "His
eyelids try the children of men , " "His
eyes were as a flame of fire. " "I will
guide thee with mine eye. " Oh ! the eye
of God , so full of pity , so full of power ,
so full of love , so full of indignation , so
full of compassion , so full of mercy !
How it peers through the darkness !
How it outshines the day ! How it glares
upon the offender ! How it beams upon
the penitent soul ! Talk about the human -
man eye being indescribably wonderful
-how much more wonderful the great ,
searching , overwhelming eye of God ?
All eternity past and all eternity to
come on that retina !
But you say , "God is in one world and
I am in another world ; he seems so far
off from me ; I don't really think he sees
what is going on In my life. " Can you
see the sun ninety-five millions of miles
away , and do you not think God has as
prolonged vision ? But you say , "There
are phases of my life , and there are
colors , shades of color , in my annoyances -
ances and my vexations that I don't
think God can understand. " Does not
God gather up all the colors and all the
shades of color in the rainbow ? And do
you suppose there is any phase or any
shade In your life that he has not gathered -
ered up in his own heart ? Besides that ,
I want to tell you that It will all soon
be over , this struggle. That eye of
yours , so exquisitely fashioned and
strung , and hinged and roofed , will before -
fore long be closed in the last slumber.
Loving hands will smooth down the
silken fringes. So he giveth his beloved
sleep. A. legend of St. Frotpbert is that
his mother was blind , and he was so
sorely pitiful for the misfortune that
one day in sympathy he kissed her eyes ,
and by miracle she saw everything. But
it is not a legend when I tell you that
all the blind eyes of the Christian dead 1
under the kiss of the resurrection morn
shall gloriously open. Oh ! what a day
that will be for those who went groping
through this world under perpetual obscuration -
scuration , or were dependent on the
hand of a friend , or with an uncertain
staff felt their way , and for the aged , of
dim sight , about whom it may be said
that "they which look out of the windows -
dews are darkened , " when eternal daybreak -
break comes in. What a beautiful epitaph -
taph that was for a tombstone in a European -
ropean cemetery : "Here reposes in God ,
Katrina , a saint , eighty-five years of
age and blind. The light was restored
to her May 10th , 1840. "
Temperance Notos.
In one year over a million dollars'

The W. C. T. U. of Fremont , Neb. , are
said to have paid in full for their Tem-

cost of $10,000.
Twenty-one temperance associations
have been formed in India during the
past winter , with an enrollment of 2,000
new members.
Wanted-20,000 boys in New York and
Chicago who do not smoke cigarettes.
The business men have decided to give
such the preference.
A commendable decree has been issued -
sued in the German principality of Wal-
deck forbidding the issuance of a marriage -
riage license to an habitual drunkard
unless satisfactory proof of reformation -
tion be produced.
Since Belgium was permitted free
trade in drink , public houses have so
multiplied that intoxicants can be purchased -
chased at almost every shop. As a re- {
suit , four-fifths of the deaths of men
are now said to be caused by intemper-
ance.

In answer to letters of inquiry addressed -
dressed to the wardens of the penitentiaries -
tiaries , these figures were received , l
showing the proportion of crimes
caused by strong drink : Sing Sing ,
N. Y. , 92 per cent ; Boston , Mass. , S5 per
cent ; Jackson , Mich. , 78 per cent.
Archdeacon Farrar , speaking at Devonshire -
onshire House , said. We sacrifice in
England every year to the drink demon
more children than were offered to Moloch -

at least a thousand babes are suffocated -

G RAND OLD PARTY.
REPUBLICAN POLICY OF PROTECTION -
TECTION FULLY SUSTAINED.
fly the Utter Failure of the Democratic
Free Trade Polley-A Deficit Instead
of the Surplus That Was Promised a
Year Ago.
Chicago Inter Ocean : July 1 Is New
Year's Day in many highly important
respects. Chief of all it is the beginning -
ning of the fiscal year of the govern-
ment. In all statistics of debts , receipts -
ceipts , expenditures , or the like , of the
United States government given by
years , this midyear point of the gereral
calendar is the beginning of the year.
When , therefore , congress discussed at
Its last session , as it did often and much
in detail , the probable surplus or deficit
of the treasury , the base of calculation
was July 1 , 1895. Would the revenues
and outgoes of the treasury for the
twelve months Immediately preceding
that date show an excess or a deficiency -
ciency ?
The exact condition of the treasury ,
to the last penny , at the close of Saturday -
day night was not known Monday
morning , but near enough for all practical -
tical purposes. The surplus which Wilson -
son and Carlisle predicted turned out
to be , as everybody expected it would ,
a deficit. The shortage is $43,250,000.
This is a pretty large sum. Forty-three
and a quarter millions is a good deal
of money , even for so big and rich a
nation as the United States. It means
that the government during the last
fiscal year spent on an average over
$100,000 a day in excess of its resources.
Last year the deficit was $70,000,000.
It is precisely on account of this deficit -
ficit that the government is menaced
with a raid on its gold reserves. Those
reserves are now over one hundred millions -
lions , and will be preserved intact , in
all probability , until Oct. 1 , the date
at which the Morgan-Rothschild syn-
dicate's agreement to protect the treasury -
ury from gold raids will cease. Should
the receipts of the government from
customs increase to an extent to make
our revenues equal our expenditures
the surplus will take care of itself. The
jimmy with which the speculators hope
to pry open the gold chest of the government -
ernment will then be taken away from
Wall street. Unless thus rescued the
treasury will be after another three
months , at the mercy once more of the
raiders , and very likely the syndicate
itself will lead in the raid , or , more
likely , stand in the background , furnishing -
nishing the capital and sharing greedily
in the profits.
Whatevea may be in store , one thing
is certain : The United States is today -
day presenting a spectacle of dependence -
ence which is a positive disgrace and
humiliation. All through the stress and
distress of the war the United States
maintained its financial independence.
Never once did it cry out to the banks ,
Dr any syndicate , "Help , Cassius , or I
sink. " But in these piping clays of
peace , with a Democratic President , the i
United States preserts the sorry spectacle -
tacle of a great nation saved from
drowning by a syndicate life preserver - I
er , thrown to it by J. Pierpont Morgan
and his associates. It is enough to
make the bones of Salmon P. Chase ratIi
: le in their coffin.
Mr. Carlisle may well look forward
with some degree of apprehension to t
October , but let him be comforted. December -
cember comes pretty close upon the t
heels of October , and then a Republican P
congress will meet. That body will
.
be untrue to the record of the party.
I it does not rise to the occasion , no
matter what may happen. The specu- d
ators who are counting on large profits
n gold at the expense of the °
government would do well to
emember that the Republicans
arse once more at the congres1
skonal helm , and that if the Caesar
of the white house or the treasury department -
partment feels the waters of the Rubicon -
b
con rising above his head he will have
only to appeal to congress and fired the a
necessary succor. a

A Striking Comparison ,
it
The banner year in the production of r ,
Bessemer steel ingots was 1892. Our °
urnaces in that year turned out 4,16S , n
35 tons. s
This was ample vindication of the 1 o
'rotective policy' which in this instance t
he Free-Traders assailed with much a
bitterness , alleging that the McKinley k
tariff was fostering monopolies and re1 o
arding the development of our export f s
rade. o
In 1593 the production fell to 3,215 , a
86 tons. In 1894 there was some imh
rovement , but the production stopped W'
t 3,571,313 tons. e
Of course , Free-Traders have an apt c o
eply. They will tell us that this w
hrinkage was due to various causes di
nd not mainly to the blight which the h
mpending Free-Trade legislation cast
. But the tact
pen the country. significant
act remains that the great gains in i > ) - T
have been a s
ustrial production made
nder steady , openly avowed Putfc- " '
ion of the McKinley kind , while our t
csses are all associated with Free1 n
Trade. This is natural. When Conh i
press lowers the barriers to admit fl
vares and fabrics that might as well t h
ave been made at home , the paralyzd
ig influence of that suicidal course is to
entire industrial SC
lt throughout our
"stem.
Of course , the production of rails of sr
11 kinds fell off likewise. When the general
dc
eneral industries of the country are
h
epressed , railroad building is sus-
fo
ended and track repairs are deferredfo
fo
s long'as possible. In 1SST our rolling
mills made 2,139,640 gross tons of rails ; t
n 1S94 theyy produced only 1,021,772 l
ross tons. Here was a decline of more g-
an one-half where there ought to W
ave been an increase. The inference
obvious. The trail of the low Tariff w
rpent was over it all. _ y

Industrial Eshibllons.
Protectionists throughout the whole
country should encourage industrial ex-
hibitions. Large or small , such displays -
plays , when well arranged , are object
lessons that demonstrate the wisdom
and expediency of diversifying home
industries and of establishing them all
over the land. They show more clearly
than books can do the close , harmonious -
ious relations that bind American pro.
ducers , agricultural as well as mechanical -
ical , together by the bond of common
interest.
From the modest New York exhibi-
tlon of 1S54 to the great World's Fair
at Chicago , In 1893 , each industrial display -
play has served to inspire pride in
American skill and labor. Persons
who have read the practical lesson
rightly have gone away from such
places steadfast Protectionists , fully resolved -
solved to insure fair playy for home industries -
dustries , despite the sophistries of Tar-
1Y reformers and the like. They have
been able to observe the several stages
by which the raw material , be it mineral -
eral or vegetable , has been advanced
until it appeared in all the fullness and
beauty of the finished product-bear-
ing irresistible testimonyy to the excellence -
lence of American labor when placed
under favorable conditions.
The coming Atlanta exhibition or
Cotton States Fair ought to be a powerful -
erful agency in winning the South and
Southwest over to the side of Protec-
tionists. The enterprise merits hearty
encouragement from Northern and
Western manufacturers. They should
send to it the choicest products of their
factories , with such information as will
enable the farmers and the merchant
to comprehend the gains which they
derive from the development of home
manufactures under a Tariff that will
avowedly provide Protection as well as
ample revenue.-American Economist.

Last year in March we imported from
Canada 9,855 dozen eggs. This year ,
under tariff reform , in March , we imported -
ported from Canada 43,566 dozen. Of
course it was good for Canada , but
American hens are not cackling over it.

HIS APPETITE WAS GOOD.
Jilgator Swallowed the Dog Whole as
Slight Lunch.
Ever since last winter the Zoo has
een closed anti locked up , and during
11 that time the big fifteen foot 'gator ,
hick makes his home in one of the
liniature lakes , has had to shift for
imself for something to eat , says Flcr-
ka Times-Union. During the last few
eeks hunger must have worried the
hl fellow , and in the dead hours of the
ight he told the neighbors of it and
tartled them , as well , by his loud bel-
wing , which sounds like a cross be-
vveen the trumpeting of an elephant
Lid the roaring of the lion. During the
st few nights there has been no bel-
wing. The explanation of his silence
that he has been fed. lie has feasted
n the daintest morsel that ever tickled
'gator's palate. For some time there
as hung around the electric light and
aterworks plant a mangy dog. The
mployes wished for the dog catcher to
me around , but as he was busyy else-
here they concluded to dispose of the
g humanely and make the 'gator
i
appy. So they collared the dog and
therew him to the '
'gator , which was
aking a nap in the middle of the pond.

he spied the saurian , and swam to-
and shore with a speed that fairlyy cut

astonishment and seemed to ask t
mself if he had been dreaming. Two -
Ips of his tail and he had moved with
e speed of a racing shell up to the '
) g , the immense jaws opened , the
wer jaw slid under the dog ie ' a
oop-net ; down came the upper jaw ,

g was concerned. The oilk ' lkw , ! i 1
owever , did not seem to be satesleri , a

r more dogs. Finding none , he re- !
urned to his siesta , with an eye blink-
: g open everyy now and then and a
ace upward to see if the same hbrg
