TALMAGE'S SEEMON.

A Discourse on "Narrow Escapes,"with Its Application.

If an May Y»h« Hold on th« ProuUet ofGod, Even After * Life of Rebel-

ion, But the Hoar of S»r*I* Now.

Rev. T. DeWitt Talm&ge deliveredthe following sermon on "Narrow Es-capes" in the Brooklyn Academy ofMusic, taking for bis text:

X am escaped with the skin of my teeth.—Jobxiz.,20.

Job had it hard. What with boilsand bereavements and bankruptcy, and» fool of a wife, he wished he was dead;and I do not blame him. His flesh wasgone, and his bones were dry. Histeeth wasted away until nothing butthe enamel seemed left He cries out:"I AJX escaped with the skin of rayteeth." There has been some differ*ence of opinion about this passage* St.Jerome and Schultens, and Drs. Goodand Poole and Barnes, have tried alltheir forceps on Job's teeth. Yon denymy interpretation, and say: "Whatdid Job know about the enamel of theteeth?" He knew every thing about i tDental surgery is almost as old as theearth. The mummies of Egypt, thou-sands of years oi<Lare found to-day withgold filling in their teeth. Ovid andHorace and Solomon and Mooes wroteAbout these important factors of thebodV. Toother provoking complaints,Job, I think, has added an exasperat-ing toothache, and, patting his handagainst the Inflamed face, he says: "Iam escaped with the skin of my teeth.*'

A Tery narrow escape, yon say, forJob's body and soul; but there are thou-sands of men who make Just as narrowescape for their soul There was a timewhen the partition between them andruin was no thicker than a tooth's«namel; but as Job finally escaped, sohave they. Thank God! thank God!

Paul expresses the same idea by adifferent figure when he says that somepeople are -'saved as by fire." A vesselat sea is in flames. Ton go to the .sternof the vessel, /• The boats have shovedoff. The flames advance; you can en*dure this "tieat no longer on your face.You slide down on the side of the ves-sel* and hold on with "your fingers, untilthe forked tongue of the fire begins tolick the back of your hand, and you feelthat you must fall, when one of the life*boat comes back, and the passengers saythey think they have room for onemore . The boat swings under you—you•drop into it—you are saved. So some

. men are pursued by tomptation untilthey are partially consumed, but, after*U, get off—"saved as by fire." But Ilike the figure of Job a little betterthan that of Paul, because the pulpithas not worn it out; and I want to showyou, if God will help, that some menmake narrow escape for their souls, andare saved as "with the skin of theirteeth."i[ It Is as easy for some people to lookto the Cross as for you to look to thispulpit Mild, gentle, tractable, loving,you expect them to become Christians.You go over to the store and say:"Grandon joined the church yesterday."Your business comrades say: "That isjust what might have been expected;"he always was of that t u n of mind."In youth, this person whom I describewas always good. He never brokethingv. He never laughed when it wasimproper to laugh. At seven, he couldeit an hour in church, perfectlyquiet, looking neither to the right handnor to the left, but straight into the

- eyes of the minister, as though he un-derstood the whole discussion about theeternal decrees. He never upset things-nor lost them. He floated in the King-dom of God so gradually that it is un*certain just when the matter was de-cided.* Here is «uiotu6f one, who started lalife with an uncontrolable spirit Hekept the nursery in an uproar. Hismother found him walking on the edgeof the house roof to s«e if he could bal-ance himself. There was no horse thathe dared not ride—no tree he could notclimb. His bo; hood was a long seriesof predicaments; his manhood was reck-less, his mid-life wayward. But nowhe is converted, and you go over to thestore and say: "Arkwright joined thechurch yesterday." Your friend says:"It is not possible! You must be jok-ing." You say: "No; I tell you thetruth. He joined the church." Thenthey reply: "There is hope for any ofus if old Arkwright-has become a Chris-tian!" In other words, we will admitthat it is more difficult for some men toaccept the Gospel than for others.

I may be preaching to some who havecut loose from churches and <iibles andSundays, and who have come in herewith no intention ot becoming1 Chris-tians themselves, bi<t just to see whatis going on; and yet you may find your-self escaping, before you leave thishouse, as "with the skin of your teeth.*1

• i do not oxpect to waste this hour, Ihave seen boat* go off from Caps Mayor Lon<r Branch, and drop their nets,without having caught a single fish.It was not a good day, or they hadnot the right kind of a net But weexpect no such excursion to-day. Thewater is fnll of fish, the wind is'in theright direction, the Gospel netia strong.Oh Thou who didst help Simon and An-drew to fish, show us today how to castthe net on the right side of the ship!

Some of you, in coming to God, willhave to run against skeptical notions.It is useless for people to say uharp and-cutting' things to those who reject the

Christian religion. I can not say suchthings. By what process of temptationor trial or betrayal you have come toyour present state, I know not Thereare two gates to your nature: the gateof the head and the gate of the heartThe gate of your head is locked withbolts and bars that an archangel couldnot break, but the gate of your heartswings easily on its hinges. If I as-saulted yoor body with weapons, youwould meet me with weapons, and itwould be sword-stroke for sword-stroke,and wound for wound, and blood forblood; but if I come and knock at thedoor of your house, you open it andgive me the best seat in your parlor.If I should come at you now with anargument, you would answer me withan argument; if with sarcasm, youwould answer me with sarcasm; blowfor blow, stroke lor stroke; but when Icome and knock at the door of yourheart you open and say: ''Come in,my brother, and tell me all you knowabout Christ and Heaven."

Listen to two or three questions: Areyou as happy as you used to be whenyou believed in the truth of the Chris-tian religion? Would you like to haveyour children travel on in the road inwhich you are now traveling? You hada relative who professed to be a Chris-tian, and was thoroughly consistent,living and dying in the faith of theGospel. Would you not like to live thesame quiet life and die the same peace-ful death? 1 have a letter, sent me byone who has rejected the Christian le-ligion It says: "I am old enough toknow that the joys and pleasures o! lifeare evanescent, and to realise the factthat it must be comfortable In old ageto believe in something relative to thefuture, and to have a faith in some sys-tem that proposes fo save. I am free toconfess that I would be happier if Icould exercise the simple and beautifulfaith that is possessed by many whom Iknow. I am not willing oat of thechurch or out of the faith. My state ofuncertainty is one of unrest. Some-times I doubt my immortality, and lookupon the death-bed as the closing scene,after which there is nothing. Whatshall I do that I have not done7" Ah!skepticism is a dark *nd doleful land.Let me say that this Bible is either trueor false. If it be false, we are as welloff as you; if it be true, then which ofus is safe?

Let me also ask whether your troublahas not been that you confoundedChristianity with the inconsistentcharacter of som« who profess i t Youare a lawyer. In your profession thereare mean and dishonest men. Is thatany thing against the law? You are adoctor. There are unskilled and con-temptible men in your profession. Isthat any thing against medicine? Yonare a merchant There are thieves anddefrauders in your business* Is thatany thing against merchandise? Be-hold, then, the unfairness of chargingupon Christianity the wickedness of itsdisciples. We admit some of thecharges against those who profeas re-ligion. Stitae of the maot giganticswindlers of tne present day have beencarried on by members of the church.There are men standing inthe front ranks in the churcheswho would not be trusted forfive dollars with good collateral security.They leave their business dishonestieslm the vestibule of the church as taeygo im and sit at the communion. Hav-ing concluded the sacrament, they getup, wipe the wine from their lips, goout, and take up tbeir sins where theylet toff. TowfVe iue uvTii Ls their reg-ular work; to serve God, a sort of playspelL V/ith a Sunday spongw they as-pect to wipe off from tbeir business slateall the past week's inconsistencies.Yon have no more right to take such aman's life as a specimen of religiomthan you have to take the twisted ironsand split timbers that lie on the beachat Coney Island as a specimen of anAmerican ship. It is time that we drawa line between religion and the frailtiesof those who profess i t

Do you not feel that the Biblev take itall in all, is about the best book thatthe worli has ever seen? Do you. knowany book that has as much ix it? Doyou not think, upon the whole, that itsinfluence has been beneflCient? I cometo you with both hands extended towardyou. In one hand 1 have the Bible, andin the other I have nothing. ThisBible in one hand I will surrender for-ever just as soon as in my other handyou. can put a book that is better. To-day I invite you back into the good, old-fashioned religion of your fathers—tothe God whom they worshipped, to theBible they read, to the promises onwhich they leaned, to the cross onwhich they hung- their eternal expecta-tions. You have not been happy a daysince you, s*rung off; you will not behappy a minute until you swing hack.

Agrain: There may be some of youwno, in the aiwsmyi. »iU>r * Christianlife, will have to run against powerfulpassions and appetites. Perhaps it is adisposition to anger that you have tocontend against; and perhaps, while ina serious mood, you heur of somethingthat makes you feel that you mustswear or die. I know & Christian manwho was once so exasperated that hesaid to a mean customer: "I can notswear at you myself, for I am a memberof the chutch, !>ut if you will go down-stairs my partner in business willswear at you." AU your good resolu-tions heretofore have been torn to tat-ters by explosions of temper. Now,there is no harm in getting mod it youonly get mad at sin. "You need to bridleand saddle those hot-breathod passions,and witn them ride down injustice andwrong. ~

the world that we ought to bo *rud atTirere is no barm in getting red-hot ifyou only bring to the forge that whichneeds hammering. A man who has nopower of righteous indignation is animbecile. But be sure it is a righteousindignation, and not a petulancy thatblurs and unravels and depletes thesoul. •

The ship Emma, bound from Gotten-burg to Harvvick, was sailing on, whenthe man on the lookout saw some thin?that he pronounced a vessel bottom-up.There was something on it that lookedlike a sea gull, but was afterwardfound to be a waving handkerchief. Inthe small-boat the crew pushed out tothe wreck, and found that it was a cap-sized vessel, and that three men hadbeen digging their way out through thebottom of the chip. When thevessel capsized they had nomeans of escape. The cap-tain took his penknife and dugaway through the planks until his knifebroke. Then an old nail was found,with which they attempted to scrapetheir way out - f the darkness, each oneworking until his hand was well-ni?bparalyzed, and he sank back»faint andsick. After long and tedious work thelight broke through the bottom of theship. A handkerchief was hoisted.Help came. They were taken on boardthe vessel and aaved. Did ever mencome so near a watery grave withoutdropping into it? How narrowly theyescaped!—escaped only "with the skinof their teeth."

There are men who have been cap-sized of evil passions, and capsizedmid-ocean, and they are a thousandmiles away from any shore of help.They have for years been trying to digtheir way out They have been dig-ging away, and digging away, but theycan never be delivered unless they willhoist some signal of distress. Howeverweak and feeble it may be, Christ willsee it, and taardown upon the helplesscraft, and take them on board; and itwill be known in earth and in Heavenhow narrowly they escaped—"escapedAS with the skis of their teeth*"

FARM AND GARDEN,PRUNING SHEARS.

Implements That Every Farmer Should

A food pair of pruning shears whichwill operate with readiness and ease isan important tool to the gardener whokeeps trees and shrubbery withinproper bounds, but badly constructedthey are i u : so convenient and usefulas the sinffle-bladed knife. We haveseen those that were of very littlevalue, requiring a hard pressure of thehand to cut off a small twig; and agai&we have had the satisfaction to workwith those which with little effortsheared off a green limb over an inch indiameter. All the difference existed inthe form or construction. When thetwo blades of the shears , meet squaretogether like a common pair of scissor*,they will not prune off a larjfe shoot;

FIGUBK8 1 AXD 2.

T>ut if one moves over the otherobliquely with a draw or sawing motion,their efficiency is greatly increased.

The tool manufacturers of past yearswere aware of this difference, and theyemployed a complex construction likethat represented in Fig. 1. The "draw*vu.1T was effected by tike movable cen-ter, so that when the handles werepressed together the connecting roddraws the nearer blode downwards, andincreasing the cutting power severalfold over the simple shears. For prun-ing or cutting grafts above the reach ofthe operator, it is still common in someplaces to attach to a pole the shearsrepresented by Fig. 2, which are workedby * cord attached to the nearer curvedblade; bat as the out is only tb*t of aa pair of scissors, it can be used only oilsmall twigs. The cut shows where thepivot is on which the nearer blade ofthese shears moves, being the cen-ter of the dotted line. In Fig. 5, with a*4_r.ht alteration, the pivot is placed on

the rod, giving to the further blade themotion of the dotted line, sawing andcutting off larger limbs, and acting asefficiently as the implement representedby Fig. L Fig. 4 shows how a very ef-ficient pair ol shears may be made on asimilar principle; but all its efficiencywould be lost if the pivot were placed atthe curve.—Country Gentleman:

DAIRY DOTS.

THE COWS in the winter dairy must becomfortably housed, not only at nightbut in all but the very pleasantestweather. Many of the best of the win-ter dairymen are finding it profitableto artificially warm the water for theircows.

QUALITY is an important factor, bothwith butter and beef, says an exchange.It is only the best quality that realizesthe highest prices, and in many casesthe difference in the cost will be a smallitem in comparison with the differencein the results secured.

THE practice in weaning calves, saysthe Pittsburgh, (Pa.) Stockman, variesfrom the time the calf is dropped untilit is several weeks old, but we think attwo or three days old is about the righttime to take the calf away from its dam.The calf will suok in a little while afterit is dropped, and no matter how muchthe cow's udder is inflamed she will letthe calf suck and butt all it wants to,and it uses its privilege freely. It isthought this butting is of service in re-ducing Inflammation, on the principle ofcounter irritation, we suppose; but atany rate the cow will allow the calf tohandle her udder tnuch more roughlythan she will lot a man rub it, andeither the rubbing or the butting oughtto be done. Another point in favor ofletting t *e calf suck for a few days is,that for the first three days after calv-inj? the eow is more liable to have milkfever than subsequently* and if her calfis with her she is much better satis-fied and will keep very quiet, and this•tale of quietude is just the one we wantto keep her In, as any excitement, atthat time in just a* dangerous as to thehuman mother under the same circum-stances. —Western Rural.

THE APPLE ORCHARD.How Beat to Raise* Cvltl«*t« &**d Owe

for It—Useful Hints nod IMrectlona bya* Eiperleaevd Illinois Fruit-Grower.The following ^%vtr on "How to

Raise, Cultivate and Care for an AppleOrchard," was delivered by Hon. Thom-as Lowrey, an experienced ordhardist ofFlora, 11L, before the spring meeting ofthe Fruit-Growers' Association of South-eastern Illinois. From it we take thefollowing:

"Having selected the site for myorchard, I would, in the fall of th«ye*r,with the plow throw up a ridge on thelines surrounding my orchard tract forthe purpose of planting hedge, Iwould then with a plow, or what wouldbe better, a road scraper, throw up aroad twenty feet in width on each sideof the tract, thereby making a roadentirely around the orchard.

"I would then plow the ground intolands thirty feet wide, or as near thatwidth as may be, to make the rows comeout an equal distance apart Thirtyfeet, I think, is the proper distance toplant. The land should then be har-rowed sufficiently to make a good bottomfor a meadow. Then when the propertime comes for seeding 1 would, if tim-ber land, sow it in clover, one peck ofseed per acre. If prairie land, I wouldsow it in clover and timothy, at the ratecf one peck of clover seed and one gallonof timothy per acre.

"When spring came, with the land ingood condition for cultivation, I wouldplow a strip six feet in width in the cen-ter of each land, as deeply as I could,throwing the dirt out, then harrow it welland throw the dirt back with the plow.This will leave the land in fine condi-tion for planting. I would plant thetrees thirty feet apart in rows each way.When ready to plant the first thing Iwould do would be to plow entirelyaround the tract, having a lath to standexactly where I intended to plant eachtree, in the outside rows of the orchard.The ©ntside rtiws should be. I think,about twenty-five feet from the centerof the road which was laid out aroundthe orchard. '

"I would set the trees about twoinches deeper than they grew in thenursery. After leveling the bottom ofthe shallow hole in which you are goingto plant, take the tree, and with asharp knife cut off all broken or bruisedroots with an tmderalope. Examinecarefully for borers in the roots, and becertain not to plant any with the tree,ait in all probability you will haveenough of them without goittg to thattrouble. Now place the tree in the hols,spreading the roots as evenly in eachdirection as possible, placing the sidewhich ia most heavily rooted to th*southwest; now sift the loose dirtamoogtt the roots, pressing it in »o as•ot to leave air spaces, then fill in withdirt until the roots are thoroughly cov-ered and tramp down solidly, then fillup with loose dirt and leave the treestanding as nearly perpendicular assible.

I would plant nothing but yearlingtrees. As soon as I was done plantingmy orchard I would plant the hedge ofosage orange, placing the plants twofeet apart in the row, then put a barbed-Wire fence, of at least three wires, di-rectly over the hedge.

"I would with a double-shovel or cul-tivator keep the strip of ground inwhich the trees are planted thoroughlycultivated until the middle of July, atwhich time I would carefully examinefor borers, repeating the middle ofAugust and about the last of September,at which time I would wrap the trees toprotect them from rabbits. The stripof clover between the rows should bemowed when It is ready to cut for hay,and left lying on the ground as it fell,to act as a fertilizer. After the leavesfell I would go over the orchard andpick off every leaf roller, caterpillarn«*t_ and. in fact, every insect or insectharbor I could find, dropping them intoa sack swung around the neck. Whenany considerable number were collectedI would empty them out and buthem. When good weather came in thespring, I would again examine forborers.

«AS BIO A FOOL AS THOMPSON'S COLT.""Well, by G«orge» I supposed every one d hord tell of Thompson's colt

Well, whenever that tarnal colt of hWn was Atesty, Instead of watt-tug down to the water and drinking, Uke&senslble critter would, what did tf*fool colt do bat swim to the other side, wade out, shake himself, torn around,walk down and—take a drink,1*

Nowr ssss^ fc3ks are jt«t like that colt. When they get bflions and constt-pated, they just let it ran on, untfi flrst thing they know they hare to swimthrough a long; tedioas spell of sickness.

CORUNNA JOURNAL,&G&5UCB A WELCH,

Wa have been informed that thename of Hon. John Xortliwood of Sag-inaw County, will be presented to thenext republican, State nominating con,,vention ^y his county, as a candidatefor the office of Auditor General.Mr. !Xor;hwood residing near the northline of Shia^ssec has been a frequentand welcome visitor in our county andneeds no introduction to our people.1'osessed with au honorable record, wonin the army, where he lost an arm, hishis energetic and successful work inthe House oi' Representatives in 1SS4in securing' a home for the. lieedy vet-erans, the result of which may be seento-day in tbat splendid edifice erectedat Grand Rapids, from whose, occu-pants comes grateful thanks for thecomforts provided for their infirmitiesiucreasing with their advancing years.

The veterans in appreciation ofthese services made him their Com-mander in 1SS0, which position he fill-ed with honor and ability. Mr. Xorth-wooil is also an active co-laborer withtha Patrons of Industry and in factthe wage-worker has always found inhim an earnest advocate and earnestand faithful friend/possessed as he iswith all the neccessary qualities formaking a strong canvass, togetherwith his ample ability to perform theduties of the office will H nominated,be elected a worthy successor, too ur present ableAuditor.

T H E scpreme court is making it rath-er warm for the Bohemian oat swin-dlers, and fully sustains the opinion ofJudge Xewton as given in a case re-cently tried in our court. In the caseof Pearl vs Walter, taken tip from Clin-ton County, the court held that whentme party, by representing that thecompany who gave the bond to selloata, were responsible and duly organ-ized, induced the farmer to parchase,and give his note for the oafs, be -wasliable even though the farmer whopurchased it did it for the purpose ofselling to other*; tbat if the seller hadmore knowledge of the fraud thaa tLebdyer, be might be held iiabla, buthe would not be if both were equallyguilty.

Mistakes la Grammar.Faults are pardonable in conversa-

tions which are not pardonable inwritten compositions. But we in us I becareful not to take too much leeway inthis regard and not to make mistakesid gram mar or pronunciation. Some}>eople are guilty of grammaticalblunders through sheer carelessness.Thus s. lady of my acquaintance, saysa -writer in the Ladiaf Rome Journal,who understands trigonometry and cantranslate Virgil, often says to me, "youwas,11 and yet she knows perfectly wellthat this is an inexcusable mistake.

Other people who ought to knowbetter say "he don't1' for "he do&m't,""I don't know as I do," instead of "I<Wt know that I do." "Ain't" and••taint11 are not often used now byeducated people unless in fi. jestingway. It is an unwise thing, however,to be careless or inaccurate m one's pro-nunciations or uss of language, sincetricks of speech are easily caught, andvery hard to get rid of. Thus, whenone" is talking to servants, or other un-educated people, one is often temptedto adopt their phraseology, in order to"foe vea'Uily understood by them, but itis better "to withstand the temptation,even if one should be obliged iii conse-quence to take more trouble to expressCue's meaning clearly.

What shall be said of the woman whosays: "I done it?" She has certainlyplaced herself between the horns of adilemma. Her hearers will infer,either that "her cai'ly education wasneglected, or that she associated withuneducated people during her child-hood. And yet this is a grammaticalfiiuU, which seems hard to get rid of.Persons who never say "I seen it," or•'he has went," or "them things," willoccasionally betray themselves by let*ting slip the fatal '"I done it."

It is quite as incorrect io use "he"

versa, as it is to say "I done it," andyet the tirst-uamed class of faults—thatof using the wrong1 pronouns—is-some-times committed by educated people.

Indeed, I have heard the phrase, "Itis me," justified on the ground that itwas a literal translation of ihe Frenchc" &>i T/IOL I>ul our Euglicu griVujinardocs not, like its French namesake,justify the employment of certain pro-nuncial forms, merely for the value ofeuphony. "He is older than I" maynot sound so well as "he is older thaiime," yet the former is the correct:form. It is a common mis take to say:*'Between you and I," and yet & mo-ment's reflection should convince anyone who has ever studied grammarthat he should say ••between you andme"

A WOMAN WHO WAS CCOU

How a *Lady of Wealth Captured ft Bur*in Her

We are reminded of an iucident thatcame to our knowle«l^e some years agowhich should show women that pres-ence of inind and the power of self-control have a saving power where im-pulse and lack of courage would havebeen certain destruction, says Mrs,Henry Ward Beecher in the Consumers'Journal. We may have written thisbefore—we are not sure—but it willbear repeating maay times if any willprofit by the lesson and leara to prac-tice self-control and similar presenceof mind in circumstances half as start-ling. In this case one instant's waver-ing or weakness would have cost »life.

A lady of wealth and with the richsurroundings and costly works of artthat wealth brings was one eveningalone, with only one servant in th«house. Being in her chamber as shelaid aside articles of jewelry in theirappropriate places in her bureau, shechanced to raise her eyes to the mirroropposite, and from a light in the othercorner c! the room she canght in themirror the reflection of a figure of *man curled up under a large centertable, but hidden from all sight savewhat was gained Vy this reflection inthe mirror. In this way she saw oneof his hands resting on the floor. Thishand was minus two fingers, and tfheknew at once that close uj her was oneof the most desperate characters whosecrimes and fiendish deeds had beenthe terror of the surrounding countryfor miles. Now, who could blame herif she had screamed or made a hurriedeffort to reach the door? Had shedonoso it would have scaled her fate. Batforcing herself to be calm she finishedwhat she was doling at the bureau* thenquietly stepping to the bell rang forthe one servant in the house. Whenthe girl appeared she quietly mud:"Mary, I wish you would run over toMr. (a jeweler in the neighbor-hood) and say I wish he would sendback the diamonds he lias been reset-ting—they are the most valuable I have,and I am uneasy to have them long outof the house. Tell him to send themby you to-night even if not finished;wait, I'll write a note for fear of anymistake." So seating herself with thegreatest apparent composure at thevery table where the man lay conceal-ed she wrote the note. Of course shewrote not for the diamonds, but forhelp! The girl took the note, andalone, absolutely, with this great ter-ror concealed close by her, the ladywaited. That no suspicion should bearoused she busied herself puttjeg var-ious things in different places. Howterrible must have been that waiting!How full of joy and safety the sound ofthe bell when the girl returned, andwith her the friend and the police, whocaptured the man before he could re*sist*

Tfcc Progress of Languages.

The progress of langimges spoken bythe ditfereut nations is said to be asfollows: English, which at the com-mencement of the century was onlyspoken by 2*2.000,000 of people, is nowspoken by 100,000.000; Russian is nowspoken by GS,000,000 against 30,000,000at the beginning of the century. In1801 German wus only spoken by 35,-000,000 of people, to-day over 70,000,-000 talk in the same language thatWilliam II. does. Spanish is now usedby 44,000,000 of people, against 80,000,-000 in 1800; Italian by 32,000,000 in-stead of 13,000,000; Portuguese by 18,-000,000 instead of 8,000,000. This isfor English an increase of 312 per cent;for Russian, 120 per cent; for German,70 per cent; for Spanish, SG per cent,In the case of French the increase hasbeen from 34,000,000 to 46,000,000, orS6 per cetiu

Attacked and Stoned-Strike*In Other CitU*.

CHICAGO, May 3. - The iron mojdersand their helpers in most of the largemanufacturering establishments of thecity, including the McCormick harvest-ing machine works, on the "Blackroad." the scene of so much turbulenceand rioting four years ago, went out onstrike Friday morning for the eight-hour day and a uniform rate of wages.The number of raolders out is estimatedat 3,000. Eighteen hundred were em-ployed at the Chicago Malleable IronWorks, the largest concern of the kindin Chicago. The Illinois Steel Companygranted its 200 molders the eight-hourday and averted a strike.

All the employes in the planing millestablishments of the West Side alsostruck for the eight-hour day and eighthours1 pay.

Shortly after one o'clock in the after-noon a number of non-union molderswho were being conveyed in a bus toMcCormick*s harvester works were at-tacked by strikers at Blue Island ave-nue. The windows of the bus werebroken and several of the occupantswere more or less injured. The driverdodged tho rocks which were aimed athis head and, lashing his horses, suc-ceeded in escaping. A report of the as-sault was telephoned to the nearest po-lice station and a squad of officers wentto the works.

All the factories and shops along the"black ro&d" were closed in the after-noon and business on that celebratedthoroughfare is at a complete standstill.At noon the 300 employes of the AjaxForge Company, near the McCormickfactory,struck for an eight-hour day.

The striking molders have made noeffort to procure a meeting with the em-ployers and the latter are in absoluteignorance of what is demanded. Thebulk of the men also do not seem toknow their own mind and say that theystruck because ordered by their leadersto do so. The whole %ffair has the ap-pearance of being a simple case of strikefever. The authorities apprehend nofurther disturbance, but the neighbor-hood is well patrolled by officer* andany incipient outbreak will be speedilyrepressed, So far the strike has notoauned a cessation of work in the otherdepartments of McCormick's romperw o r k s . , , . ,•• . , .

The men employed at the Goodwill!*box factory struck for eight hours yes*terday morning. At noou their demandswere acceded to and they returned towork. The men at the Cooper LumberCompany's yards were also victorious.The firm agreed to grant the eight-hourday and tho men went to work at noon.

Four hundred men employed by Dem-ma & Durka's furniture factory struckfor eight hours. Seven hundred menemployed by the Chicago Cottage OrganCompany arc also affected by the strikefever and refuse to work unless grantedthe eight-hour day.

Bosrox, May 3— The strike of thecarpenters is proceeding in a peacefuland quiet manner. Yesterday 500 menreported at headquarters. WalkingDelegate Clinkard addressed the menbriefly. He said that only forty-six menwere at work in the shops of the mem-bers of the Carpenter Builders' Associa-tion visited and twenty-eight of themhad joined the strikers at the request ofthe delegations that called upon them.The number of carpenters that struck isl,C50.

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., May S.—Threehundred men employed in constructinga street railway struck yesterday for anadvance of wages from $1.35 to 31.50 perday. After remaining out two hoars thedemand was acceded to and the men re-sumed work. The journeymen plumb-ers to the number of about 200 havestruck for nine hours. They have beenworking ten hours a day.

DETROIT, May 3. — The carpenters'strike situation here is unchanged, savethat a few small contractors have con-ceded the eight-hour day and the scaleof wages demanded by the strikers. Itis reported that the planing mill own-ers employing carpenters will compro-mise by conceding the demands of themen if they will agree to boycott ma-chine mill products made outside thecity.

PHILADELPHIA, May S.—The secondday of the carpenters' strike openedFriday morning with nearly 5,000 menrefusing to work unless their demandfor an »dvan<v» of fit's cento iu hour wasacceded to. There are nearly 7,000 car-penters in the city, and nearly all ofthem are identified with the three or-ganizations. These are the Brother-hood of Carpenters and Joiners of Apier-ica; the Amalgamated Association ofCarpenters, and ths Carpsntsrs' Pro-tective Association. One of the biggestvictories which the strikers have so fargained was won yesterday, when theBricklayers' Union came into line andissued orders that none of its membersshould set the door or window frames onany job where the boss bid refused topay the advanced rate.

LOUISVILLE, Ky., May 3.—One thou-sand carpenters went on a strike hereyesterday morning, demanding eighthours as a day's work, wi th no reduc-tion in wages. Twenty boss carpentershava conceded the strikers' demandsand the trouble will probably be amica-bly settled vnad»yor two.

CAMP-FIRE STORIES.LEE'S APPLE TR££.

Only On« Northerner Beeared a G*nuta«Appulnattox B«lle.

A recent article in the Atlanta Consti-tution said all the published statementsthat numerous persons in the North hadrelics from the famous Appomattox ap-ple tree, were absolutely false. It stated,upon the authority of Confederate Gen-erals who were present at the surrenderof General Lee, that only one man COB*neeted with the Union force had everobtained any portion of that tree, andthat he had only a portion of the root ortrunk. It explained that the wholetree had been cut to pieces by membersof the Confederate army before theUnion forces came upon the ground,and that the master of transportation ofthe Union army, who, at General Leo'srequest, supplied the Confederate armywith rations was only able to secure thelast remaining portion of the tree andthat it was forty-eight hours after heappeared before any other member ofthe Union forces had access to the field.The article also added that the sole pos-sessor of a piece of this historical treenorth of Mason and Dixon's line wasColonel Bates now of Philadelphia.

The writer ascertained that the per-son referred to was George H. Bates, atpresent proprietor of the Oriental HotelIn Market street, in this city, who wasat the time of the surrender of Lee'sarmy master of transportation of thearmy o' the Potomac. Mr. Bates, whenquestioned upon the subject yesterday,gave his statement of the matte? as fol-lows:

"Yes, sir. The statement is correct,and I am the man referred to. When Ihave heard and read accounts of personshaving canes and other articles madefrom that famous tret* I have beenamused, because I know that I am theonly man north of Mason and Dix-on's line who ever obtained a relic fromthat tree This is what occurred onthat memorable April day when Leesurrendered. I was master of transpor-tation in the army of the Potomac Im-mediately upon General Grant's returnafter his meeting with General Lee,who had surrendered, in compliancewith General Lee's request to have foodsent to his starving troops, I receivedorders to prepare a train of wagons withrations and to take them beyond ourline* under the flag- of truce into theenemy's lines and report to GeneralLee.

"A speedily gathered nineteen wagonloads of rations passed through our linenand passed along the road near the fa-moos toee ander which Lee had waitedfor General Grant I inquired for theConfederate General's headquarters andf M anasvered two or three times by fce-img spit at. Finally I found it, wherewith General Lee and his staff officers abrief time was spent pleasantly in whichsome prime applejack was produced, ofwhiah we all took a nip. Then I askedsome Confederates standing around tounload the wagons, but they refused,being Southrons, who esteemed manuallabor evidently degrading, whereupon Iotdered my subordinates to dismountand unload; which they did grudgingly,as they doubtless thought if we weregood enough to bring food to the enemy,the latter might at least be willing tocarry it away.

"Well, about 4:30 or five p. mu westarted with the empty wagons back toour lines. On the way I saw Confeder-ate soldiers hacking away at the stumpof the tree which a few hours previoushad sheltered General Lee from thesun's rays. In reply to my inquiry therelic-seekers said they wanted souvenirsto keep of the tree under which theirGeneral had surrendered. Then therewas nothing left but the root. I imme-

, diately took a jack-knife and cut out apiece, which I have preserved to thepresent time, and another piece which Ihabded to xnr carpenter, who carved outa ring with a heart on it, which I havealso kept I was given a pass by Gen-eral Lee's Adjutant-General to go in andout of the lines at wilL I have also pre-served that. Here it is."

The document was then shown thewriter, signed by General Lee and coun-tersigned, bearing date April 9, 1865.

Mr. Bates continued his story by say-ing* that on his next visit -into theenemy's lines not the slightest vestigeof any portion of that tree, branch, orroot, remained, and with the exceptionof General Grant and his two staffofficers, General Rawlings and ColonelLeete, no Union officers or soldierspassed the lines until forty-eight hourslater. He therefore feels convinced thatthe statement made by the Southernjournal is correct that only Confeder-ates, with the exception of himself, ob-tained any portion of that historical

There were other apple trees at a dis-tance, but still in the vicinity of theplace of surrender, which the Unionrelic-hunters speedily laid under trib-ute.

Mr. Bates showed the writer tlio pieceshe obtained—the root, v*wich is 3xGiuchus in dimensions, and the ring withthe heart graven on it.—PhiladelphiaTimes.

THE TERROR OT BATTLE.

Personal Experience* Illustrating- theStmllty of the Situation.

During the war we used to read ofcompanies falling back, regiments giv-ing ground, and brigades becoming1 de-moralized, and the average reader tookit for cowardice and openly expressedhis contempt. No man ever went intobattle twice alike. No company, regimen*or brigade were ever situated twicealike. A man may be very brave in onebattle and very timid in the next Hisphysical and meutal conditions havemuch to do with i t A private soldierknows the position of his entire brigadein a fight If the position is a strongOne he is encouraged; if the flanks areexposed or the defenses are weak he isnervous and apprehensive.

It is a grand stake the soldier playsfor in battle. If he wins he majr liveon until the next fight If he loses hegets a. headstone in a National ceme-tery. I can notr make you understandthe situation batter than to give youpersonal experiences. The great major-ity of soldiers had the same feeling andpassed through the same experiences.

At first Bull Run my brigade gainedground ibr several hour*. This, with asmall loss of men, kept us encouraged.Indeed, it was hard for the officers to re-strain us. Every man was hopeful anddetermined, and any single companywould have charged a regiment Thepanic had upset thousands before ittouched us. Indeed, the retreat hadbeen going on for two hours before wegot word. We were well in hand andready to advance when the news reachedus. In five minutes every man wasshaky. In ten minutes men whosofaces were powder-stained were sneak-ing out of the ranks to gain the rear. In

quarter of an hour half a company ofConfederates could have driven thewhole brigade like a flock of sheep. Isaw men cry like children, I saw otherstremble and sit down from weakness.Every fresh report added to the feelingof terror, and by and by pride and dis-cipline gave way to a grand rush, andit was every man for himself. No onewould stop to reason. No one caredwhether his comrade was ahead or be-hind. This was called cowardice, but itwas not It was panic—the terror of b*fc>tie—a senseless but powerful somethingwhich seizes the bravest men and make*children of them.

In the streets of Fredericksburg I sawFederal soldiers discharge their mus-kets into the Air, when the enemy waswithin point-blank range. I saw plentyof them drop on their faces and tremble,groan and cry. This was a case where ev-ery man saw the hopelessness of attack.Be felt that he was pushed forward to boshot down. There was no way for re*treat until the lines should fall back.On the other hand, the Confederatetroopr posted behind the stone wall atthe foot of May res Hill joked andsmoked and were in the highest spirits,feeling themselves secure from bullets,and knowing they could beat back anyforce. One of them told me that aftertaking a dead aim on thirteen differentmen and dropping every one of them herefrained from firing the next quarterof an hour after sheer pity for the hu-man targets being shoved up to meetdeath.

At Mai vent Hill my regiment lay inthe dry bed of a creek at the foot of theelevation. It was a natural rifle-pit, andsheltered us so well that we had only aslight loss in killed and wounded. Asthe Confederates charged across thefields we felt to pity them. We pouredin our volleys without danger in return,and out of five Confederates who rushedinto our Hues in their bewildermentthree were crying and sobbing. Itwasn't cowardice but terror. No cowardcould have been induced to march acrossthose meadows in the face of that ter-rific fire from cannon and musketry.

At Cold Harbor, after beating offevery thing in our front, and while mostof the men were cheering, some onestarted the report that the Confederateshad gained our rear. Two thousandmeu broke back like a lot of boys, someev«n throwing their guns away, and thejeers of other troops had no effect untilthe frenzy had had time to evaporate.At Gettysburg my regiment had thecover of a stone wall, and we knew thatwe were well supported. We hoped fora charge, and when it came every manwas cool and calm and confident Oneband of prisoners numbering about thir-ty, was led past tts on their way to therear, and I noticed that many were cry-ing and all were white faced. I haveseen the best soldiers and the oldestfighters win their medals in or > battleand show the white feather in the nextI saw a second lieutenant almost cry forthe privilege of leading a charge at Antietam, and yet at Chantilly he fell intoa ditcb and pretended tc be hit sr; &s tadrop "behind in the charge. Cowardsnever go to war. If they get into theranks through the draft they desert orcomrait suicide. It is only brave menwho lace the grim monster on a field ofbattle, and next to the foe his worstenemy is a terror which seizes him &z achill or fever might come on, and thereis no remedy for it except to get awayfrom the screaming missiles of deathuntil one's nerve and sand returns.—Do-troit Free Press.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN, JR.A quarter c( a century ago

A message dashed o'er land and «_,That caused a nation's deep heart tears to flow

Is bitter agony.

The waving plumes of victory becameThe sable plmae_ of heavy grief.

With reverent lips meu breathed an honoredname

For the tease heart's relief.

A brooding sadness settled over all,A flax redeemed hung half-mast high,

And clouds of sorrow, like * gloomy pail,Obscured the April sky.

iOnce more around the earth is flashed the same

Sad message, and our tears are shed,That he who bore again that sainted name

In his fair youth, lies dead.

Born for the future, who can doubt that h*,Living, had conquered earth's renown?

Lost to the future i Ah 1 that can not be,His bu_e secures a crown.

But not alone a name, his heritage,The qualities of heart and mind,

That made the man the greatest of his age,Were in the youth combined.

The dauntless courage and the truthThat make this name forever great,

In hopeless suffering1 nerved the tender youthTo bravely meet his fate.

Write but his name; no epitaph he needsTo tell the fame be would have won;

It is the pledge of all the glorious de?dsHe, dying, left undone.

We hare already called atten-tion to his general explanation of theagricultural depression, but the subjectis too vast and vital to be dismissed.The most serious problem of the hour iehow to afford relief from tills depres-sion.

Right here it may be observed thatthe depression does not extend to thePacific slope. The fanners on thateoMt are more than usually prosperous,and that from Mexico to British Colum-bia, especially in Southern California.We do not refer at ali to real-estatespeculation. The fanners out there whotore down their vines and cut theirvineyards into building lots, allured onby visions of fabulous wealth from thegrowth of new cities, may have beenfiaught in the lurch, but those who keptright oa "sawing wood" are gettinggood te turns for their time and money,provided they only observe the good oldrule that "he who by tb* plow wouldthrive, himself must hold or drive."This may be more prose than poetry,according to the modern standard ofliterary art, but it is certainly goodsound sense.

It might be difficult to say which isthe greater cause of this depression,lower prices for products or greater costof living. The prices of the things thefarmer buys may have fallen as muchas the prices of what he has to sell, butnew wants are constantly springing up.Compare the present with the periodjust before the war. The farmer* werejust beginning then to have patent ma-chinery for their work, while notr thefirst cost of the tools and machines ofmany a farmer comes well up toward,the value of his land itself. Of coursethe land varies in price with its remote*ness or nearness to the great markets,but there is a great deal of positive ex-travagance in this line of purchase,and still more waste in allowing ma-chines and tools to decay from ex-posure to the weather when not in use,be broken by carelessness or otherwiseallowed to depreciate. The keeping upof machinery and tools has come to be avery heavy tax on the farmers of thecountry, and no inconsiderable part of itis really unnecessary.

The farmer's purchases cover a verymuch greater variety of merchandisethan formerly, and many things whichby prudence could be saved. As a ruleour farmers are good providers. If theywere any thing like as economical asthose of other countries they would berich. What would pass in Europe forgenerous living would be intolerableprivation among our farmers. There isno prouder evidence of our advancedcivilization than the contrast hereinbetween America and Europe. But it iseasy to carry it too far, or, rather, it ishard to keep it within bounds. TheAmerican farmer wants hiis wife anddaughters to have not only all the com-forts, but many of the luxuries of life,and at the present depressed price ofproducts it is hard to keep the store billdown within the limits of what he canreally afford. This is true not alone indress, but in food supplies as well. Theuse of luxuries has increased enormous-ly all through the agricultural districts.All the legislation in the world can notafford relief. For the most part, thefarmers must each for himself acceptthe limit of his net income, over andabove interest, taxes and hired help, asthe limit of his expenditures for ma-chinery, tools, dry goods and groceries.That, in plain Saxon, must be the be-ginning of the end of hard times amongthe farmers.—Chicago Inter Ocean.

LAND IN ENGLAND.Bow Frc« Trwt* Ha* Afitoct«d th« Inter-

ests of British Farmers.Protection is to-day quoted ty every

tree-trade paper as the first, chief andonly reason for the losses sustained byfarmers in this country, the depressionin the price of their lands and the de-crease in the selling value of the prod*ucts of farming.

England ha3 all the advantages offree trade. It has had them forhalf a century. As its population issteadily increasing and half of it is ingreat cities, each acre has more andmore to do in supporting the populationand should increase in value. In thiscountry, also, in 1880, 44 per cent ofthose at work . were on the land raisingsomething to sell. In England only 14per oent. are thus occupied, and thelabor of each inevitably has a closer anda larger demand. Yet one of the bestauthorities in England, Mr. FrancisFuller, one of the most capable landagents and auctioneers in the UnitedKingdom, put the depreciation from 1875to 1885 in rents in England and Walesalone at $150,000,000 a year on 82,000,000acres, the total agricultural area of En-gland and Wales, an area twice theacreage of the farms in Pennsylvania atthe last census. This was a loss of one-third of the rental value, and it repre-sented a loss of $4,500,000,000 on theselling value of this land. In addition,the farmers cultivating this soil hadlost in ten years 0500,000,000 in workingcapital.

The land of England and Wales,therefore, in area a fifth smaller thanthe combined farms of New York andPennsylvania, lost in value and capitalin ten years by this expert estimate,made by a man handling land all hislife, *5,000,000,000- Ah thus was underthe freest kind of free trade, which in"fair Kent," the best land in England atthe gates of London, had, as the speechof one of its members, Mr. Brookfield,said February 9, 1888, left **upward of25,000 acres of arable farm land abso*lutely uncultivated."

We wonder if there is any fool m orout of any free-trade newspaper officewho thinks the farms of this State andNew York have lost $3,000,000,000 in thelast fifteen years, or £500,000,000, oreven $50,000,000. Yet this is the losein England and Wales. It is the esti-mate accepted in all discussions; it isquoted with approval by the LondonField and it has never beeti contro-verted. Th$* decrease in rent has goneon since 1885. It is to-day nearer 9200,-000,000 than $150,000,000, and the depre-ciation in value is nearer $6,000,000,*oca

Year by year sees it worse. It affectsproduct as well as rent and value. From1880 to 1883 the total farm produce olthe United Kingdom fell from SU12V320,000 in value to $49 L,r< 9*000, a de-crease of one-sixth, the figures beingpublished in April 1880, in the LondonTimes, bj Mr. A. H. Lee. In the UnitedStatoa, from 1880 to I88S, the Talfte ofcereal crops, cotton, hay, tobaocft, pota-toes and farm animals rose in theitfarm valtie from 18,696,000,000 to 94,331,-000,000, an advance of one-sixth.

Yet in the fao* of facts like these—which show a loan in the value of farmlands in England in ten years undetfree trade thirty-fold greater than theentire revenue collected under a pro*tective tariff here in the same ten years,and a decrease in the value of farmproducts of 15 per cent there and «n in-crease here of 15 per cent.—there arefools who are actually writing andprinting articles about tha harm doneto farmers by protection, and the ad-vantage they would enjoy under freetrade.—Philadelphia Press,

—A Brahmin is said to have writtento a missionary: "We are finding youdut. You are not as good as your Book.If your people were only as good as yourBook, you would conquer India forChrist in five years."

—While the Dakota Indians were sav-ages it coat the Government $1, 48,000to tike care of them seven years. Thecost after their conversion for the samelength of time was 5120,000, a differenceof $1,728,000 in favor of Christianity.—The Rocky Mountain Christian Advo-cate.

—The Indian Witness states that se-cret believers in Christ are rapidly mul-tiplying. Fbr every convert who open-ly avows his faith there are hundredswho withhold such declarations for fearof their own households and caste cir-cles. Thousands are being made readyfor public avowal and loyal service whenthe break shall come.

—In 1804 there wore thirty-five trans-lations of the Scriptures in existence.Since the formation of the British andForeign Bible Society in that year, tenmillions of money have been expendedin the work of circulating the Bible,and there are now, counting dialects aswell as languages, nearly three hundredtranslations of the Scriptures.

—The revision of Luther's translationof the Bible, which ior twenty-fiveyears has occupied the time and receiv-ed the labor of eminent German scholars,isV>out completed. The first officialedition will be printed in Halle. It isdoubtful whether the npiw version willbecome popular, unless the authoritiesintervene and give it ofScial sanction.

—H. Grattan Guinness, of London,who recently returned from ten years ofmissionary work on the Congo and inthe interior of Africa, spoke of the worktne missions are performing there.

—Every one is steadily making a deathmarch in the sense that every step hetakes in life brings him one step nearerto his dying hour.

—In all self-discipline perhaps thereis none more important than the disei-pliuo of our wishes.
