Crrtulnty of it Ilnre.ilter. The speaker bopnn hv relating several In cidents in history of man under stupendous responsibility nnd how they wcro nwo- ulrlcUcn with the rcnll/ntion of the Import- nco of tnolr surroundings. Few neopln realized ttiu tremendous rcsnotislbllltv thiit Hf < ) carries with It , but oil classes nnd conditions of men hail an Inward conviction thnt tnero would cjmo u future life w nero rewards and punish ments would bo meted out lo the righteous nnd thu ulnful. It was the common Instinct of the race that somewhere , somehow and sometime those who committed prievous sins against tholr fellow men here on onrtti would hnvo to suiter for It , and those \\hollvod pure nnd useful lives would meet with n reward. 110 who sins ntralnst man sini iipalnst Oed , for God made imui In His own Imago and IIu would protect Ills own creation. God had litanlcd a consuming lo\o in the hearts of even birds and bnasts for tholr olTsprltiff. Ihoy would lielit to Uio death to protect their young. Would not God defend Ills own with its much de votion as the birds and bcusts defended their joungl Could the stream ol love that ilo'ved ttiiough the hearts of animals rlso higher than the fountain from which It camel Im possible. God would defend Ills olTsprinp nnd bring those who transgressed the laws of hum u n life to an hour of retribution nnd judgment such as the lower order of creation bud no knowledge of. hiillcrlnif for Another's Sin. The speaker then related a sad Incident in which ho pictured the courtship , mar riage and tragic death of cmo of the brightest younc men who over lived in Cambridge , Mns . The word painting was exmilslto nnd the aiullonuo followed Dr. Driver with the most absorolng attention. ' .Two months after thu magntllccnt marriage ceremony , in which tlicro was u minglinc of wealth iincl culture and everything that could lend an udditlonnl delight to the occasion , the young man committed tulcidc. Why I "Uecauao ho opened a closet ono duv nnn found u ghustly skeleton tnore. Ilo was sinned ngninitt , outrageously deceived , and dc.ith becnmo preferable 10 life. " From this Incident the speaker branched ojt into many avenues leading to shipwreck in human life , all the result of sin on the part of somebody. "On , bo careful , my friends , " he said im pressively , "bo careful that you don't hung Bkcletons In the closet thnt may so mo day bmst the lives of these you love. " Wlml 'Iliero Is In Storo. "Thoro ore two Judgments awaiting him ivho sins against the law of his physical Hfe. " said the speaker. "First an outraged nnturo will begin to cry out ngainst the man or woman who fails to give the body the proper amount of rest , who spands the houra that should bo given to sleep in revelry nnd sin , who acts the glutton , or wno enters into . nny ol the myriud forms of dissipation that dosuoll aril wreck this supcro piece of mechanism called the human Uoii.\ . The second Judgment will bo when the soul and body are summoned bolero the .ludgo at the lust great dav to give an account of all the deeds done in the tody. It will bo no Jury trial , where twelve winners sit and listen to the evidence against the one sinner and \\heia the twelve are no better than the ono uoforif the bar. The last great trinl of nil human souls will bo before n Judge who is absolutely incorruptible. Ho i.s omnipotent , omnipresent and omniscient. Tno rose and the lily are vile and filthy as compared with Him in purity. Ho will not bo IntlmldiitoJ by a howling niob in the ex ercise of Ills Judgment. No popular or par tisan clamor will warp Ilia decision. "Another peculiar thing about the apnoar- nnco of the souls of men befoio the Judgment bar will ho the fact mat every ono will have to tell nil his sins himself. It is bid enough to have others testify against you , but when you Jinvo to face the Judge nnd repeat , the Mory of your llfo thu embarrassment , will bo much greater , thcshumo moio bcorcblnt ; . " We'll All Ilo Thcrr. Thn speaker held thnt the bodies of the resurrected would all ba called forth at the judgment day ns well as the spirits. The oodles were as sure to go to hearou as tha souls were. Ilo de clared further that a great many people would to held accountable for crimes that they had never uctually committed so far as human law or Knowledge luui recognised. The mail who entertained thoughts of inur- acr , or ttioll or lust when presented to him Dy thu devil only lucked the oiiportunity to commit the irlme , and ho would bo held re- iponslblo for It in the llmil Juugmont. "If your heart issues tliu order to do BO ami bo you nro responsible for tuo net whether it is actually committed or not. Just 8 thu military general Is held responsible for turning n trensoniiblo order whether It Is ever carried out or not. " lUliiirliMl Tliom to \VutchCnl. . 111 speaking of sinning against the mind and conscience thu sprultcr grew very elo quent and indulged In many captivating root- ophorj. Ho struck : i few clloctivo blows at the practice of spending evening after ovo- tiing In card playing whllo the cultivation ol the Intellect was being neglected , nnd in attending theatrical performances wheio "the drivel ot idiots was dealt out bv clowns. " His picture of the tinman mind with Its inurvelouu capabilities uml possi bilities was particularly brilliant. To no.'lcot thu cultivation of one's mind he held was it crime fur which all would be held responsible. In closing hu noticed the threefold tinturn of the human being and showed the bacrcd iclatlon of the souls to the Creator. Ho exhorted nil proAonl to tvolgh well the grave responsibility of llfo In it * threefold nature , pbvblenl , mental and Buirltutil , and Rinka the most and bent of uvory hour in trdcr that tbo Until Judgment might not bo in occasion of droiutful consequences , UoWltt's Sarsupnriltu U rollunlo.

C. , July 17. ( Special to Tin : HUB. ] Much has been said nbout the Inforlct-composition of the present house of roprosontntlvcs. The half has not yet been tola. An epoch In politics tins boon reached when it ceases to bo much ot nn honor to bo n congressman. It wus only n few years OKO When Sunset Cox , Mr. Bhuno , Mr. Giullold , Mr. Fryo of Malao , Cat lisle , Handnll and that character of men ruled tha operations of the house of representatives , and It was a Kreat honor to ho their confreres. Ills jot nil honor of no moan proportions to bo n senator It probably always will bo an honor but to bo "a congressman , " as the term Is generally uccoptcd , U uo longer much of nn honor , and not any kind of an houor unless you nro a distinguished ono. Members of the house of representatives nro Itnoun ns "congressmen. " whllo senators are designated as such. There hns uoen a gradual depreciation of the rank of congress men over since the famous Forty-seventh congress , when the tariff was revised for the llrst tlmo since the war tariff was levied. That was an able body of men that con trolled the house , choosing ICeiforof Ohio ns their speaker. The tariff was taken up ana revised under the direction of "Pip Iron" Kclluy of Puniu.vlvania , und upon lines which icqulreu the closest study of the mar kets , the nocoisltlui of the people und the possibilities of this country In tholr lines of Droductlon. It was the llrst effort to "sizo up" what wo were doitu : In thu way of pro ductions , and what were our possibilities. The work of the Forty-seventh congress made many of the men composing It famous. There was much said of thorn in the public prints , und every follow In the country with a Wnllot and an ambition for honor wanted to "buy n seat in congress , " Seats wcro high fora tlmo. Her line Clioilp I/ltor. But soon they became cheap. Now they go at a song. It has boon a rapid degenera tion of u proud title. A certificate of elec tion to conjrtuss was not only a ccrtltlcate ot character and popularity , but with the big men In congress a doion or twenty years nto It wus a certitlcato of ability. Men spent as high as jC.O.OOO to got there. And they were proud of the honor conferred upon them when they bat in their bought scats and viewed the galleries In which were persons who supposed every seat was lilled ou tuo lloor with n giant Intellect. for six years the depreciation of character nnd ability In congress has been exceedingly rapid. Two years ago it was a degree better , on account of there being n bate republican majority. I am speaking of the house alto gether. The political "landslide" which heaved a lot ot unknowns Into the house brought thu dignity of that body down with a crash. With the execution of about 100 out of J:10 : odd thcro is not near the native or ac quired ability found in a business btrcot of any pcod sUed city. There are llftv men m the present house of representatives who have never for two consecutive years boon nblo to earn $1,1:0 , ) n year , ortaka any rank whatever In commercial , bocml or educational dntcr- prise ? . I think of thrno members now who onme direct to congress out of a business job. Ono of them had for some years been a clerk In nn ofllco nt ? < iO a month. Another had car ricd upon his form for many years a mort gage of nbout WOO , and had been unab'.o to reduce It or pay up tbo interest , nnd yet ho had a productive farm , un industrious fam ily , economical nnd umoltioua. The third one hud been au organizer at 10 a month and expenses. None of the men over attracted uuy attention by genius or industry. .Merely nil Accident. Tholr advent into congress was duo to a political accident , and was purely for llnan- cml gain on their part. One of them has gotten n hold upon his constituents which may enable hlmtoioturn again ; the other two , having proven themselves common political adventurers , will bo dropped Into that oblivion from whence they catno a low month * npo , aud wcro it not for their mem ories nnd the congressional directory no ono would know two jears hence that thev wore over in congress. They have said nor done nolhlnc to impress tholr Individuality upon the people hoio or ut tboirhomes. These are the men wno help control the destinies of thu nation. Occasionally a nobody drops Into the son ata ; but ills not otten. It would bo Impolitic to speak of present members of tbo senate. Then thnt oody ranks very well , any wav. There nre very few uien of mediocrity In that body now. The laws which control tholr election nre different from these which elect mumbors of the house , nnd there Is more discrimination. A man who can con vince a legislature that ho is big enough to bo a United States senator is not a good-for- i.othlug. Ilo must have some merit. There have been men put into the bcnate. in a deadlock of a legislature , or where lessor evils are to bo chosen , who did no service and were lost sight of by the public the dny they re-entered private life. It is a natural presumption thai a man Is sent to congress , to uither branch of it , because - cause he has the tact , the character and ability , to secure legislation local to his own district and constituents llrst , and then for the country secondly , nnd that ho has enough presence , ambition and pride to ro lled credit upon bis people. If ho is seedy- looking , Is sloven , n 'dotard or Iruv , has no ability or caio , the impression prevails that ho U n fit.r sample of the character which sent him , and his district , besides getting no service from Mm , Is brought into disrepute. Many men with ability corno to got oxpo- iicnco or practice oratory , and never care whether they do anything for those who sent thorn hoio. Disease never successfully attacks the sys torn with pure blood. IJoWItt's Sarsaparllla makes uuie , new blood nnd onrichcs blood. 8 THE FAMOUS FIELD FAMILY. A Oimrletto nl llriitlicru , AU orMioin \Voii IJIritlnolIim. Probably no four brothers bavo nchlovod thu distinction gained by tbo "boys" In the famous Fmld family of Now England. David Utidloy Field , the lawyur ; Stephen Johnson Field , the juriht ; Cyrus Wust Field , the merchant , and Henry Marlyn Field , the clorgymuu , are all sons of David Dudley Field , a clergyman of Madison , Uoun. , who wus born there lu 1761 and died April 10 , ISO" , nt Stookhridge , MUBS. 'Ihroo of tbo four nro now living. Uyrus W. Fluid , who died last week , was the third oldest , and the llrst to pass from the scones of life's labors at the age of 711. David Dudley Field , the oldest of this wonderful quartet , was ooru In Hmlaam , Conn , , Fobrunry III , IbtiS , and Is now over bil years old. Ho wus graduated at Williams college In 1&J5 , and studied law In Albany and Now Vorlc city , in IbJs ho was admit ted to the bar and soon afterward he became a junior partner In the law linn of Henry & D , Sodgwlck , with whom ho studied. From then until Ibs5 he was continuously engaged In the practice of bis profession. Ills labors In the cause otilaw reform during that tlrao gave him socciUi prominence. An omlnrnt chancellor of/IEiiRlanil has said thnt "Mr. Field of Now Ytfrk has done more for re form ot law * than any other man living. " Mr. I'leld has ttcfeoti much Interest In poll * tics. Originally ! , as n democrat , ho voted with thnt parto * , although ho persistently opposed Its nnnlnvtry policy until the nomi nation of Jobn'E. Fremont In 1S.W , whom ho Kupoortod In tha presidential canvass of that jcar. During the civil war ho was a staunch adherent of tbs administration , and wni active with voice , pen aud pursa In aid of bis party. For eight WCOKS In 1870 ho llllod the unoxplrcd tornrlti congress of Smith Ely , who bnd bcent tnado mayor of New York city. Ho now actnl with the democratic party , and was otic of the advocates on that side In the dispute ever the presidential election , Ho has delivered numerous ad- presses , nnd has contributed largely to cur rent literature on political topics. Judge Stephen Johnson Fluid , the second brother , was born nt HndOam , Conn. , No vember , 1810. Ho was about fl yours old when his father removed to Stockbridgo , and ten years later ho accompanied his sister Kmlllo , who had married a missionary , tc Smyrna In order to acquire a knowledge of Oriental languages. Heturnlng homo bo on- toted Williams college and was graduated In lb'17 with high honors. Ho then cjmo to IMuw York , where ho began the study of the law with his brother , David Dudley. In Ib7)7 ho was elected judge of the supreme court of California. On the resignation of Chief Justice Uavld S. Terry , In 18V ' , ho became chief Justice , nnd continued In office till bis appointment to the supreme bench of the United Stntos by President Lincoln In 1 SOU , an office which ho now holds , Among ttio prominent decisions In whio.l ho has been concerned wus the famous test oath case , In which ho rave thu canting vote , and wiota the omnlon ot the court annulling the validity of the "ironclud" onth. His dissent ing opinions in tha legal tender cases. In the conlKcatlon cases and In the Now Orleans slaughter house case , have also attracted attention. In 1S77 ho was u iLombor of the presidential electoral commission and was ono of the seven who vott'd in favor of Mr. Tlldon against , the eight In favor of Mr. Hayes , In 18SO his name was placed in nomination for the presi dency nt the Cincinnati convention and ho received sixty-live votes on the llrst ballot. In 187 ! ) ho was appointed by the governor of California one of n commission to examine the cede of luws of that state and to prepare amendments to tbo saino for the considera tion of the legislature.
