The Great Search-SermOn by
the Rev. I. De Witt Talmage,
I'D. I'D.

Mr.. Talmage preached in the
Brooklyn Tabernacle on the subject
of The Great Search" taking his
text from Luke, xix, 10-"The Son
Of Man is come to seek and to save
that which was LOST
If one be well poised, said Mr..
Talmage, be cannot stand in a better
place to see a passing crowd than in
a tree-top. There was small man,
whose head did rot come up to the
shoulders of other people, who de-
SPARED of seeing the distinguished
stranger, so he climbs up into a syca-
more tree and sits there while Jesus
advances. Christ cast His eye up
and sees the man, and says, "Come
down" He tells Zaccheus, among
other things, "The Son of Man has
come to seek and save that which
vas lost" Our sympathies are al
ways aroused when we see anything
/ nat is lost. am glad it is the Son
of Man who has come to seek US.
He ate like man, He drank like q
man, He was man.
We are lost to holiness our ma
ture is utterly ruined. We are lost
to happiness and Christ comes to
fad us. We are lost to heaven and
Christ comes to take us there.
There is nothing more distressful
for a man without any musical taste
than to listen to an orator for two
hours and a half. / see an unregen-
crate soul going into glory. 1t en-.
ters heaven, looks round, sees God
there and angels there, and hears
the cry, ''Holy! holy!" and says
This is no place for me-" He flies
to the battlements and cries, 81 can
stand it here nc longer /" and he
leaps off into outer darkness. In
ether words, the worst hell for man
would be heaven if be had no pre-
paration for it. Christ has prepared
a glorious heaven for yOu, it is all
ready. Do not drive Christ away as
though He were an unworthy beg
gar soliciting aims. To be second
too late is TO be forever too late.
May God Almighty, by His grace,
keep us from the wild, awful. crush
ing catastrophe of a ruined soul.

Tt is probably generally remembe red
that some years ago-in 1873-Congress
passed law providing for the erection
of durable headstones over the graves Of
soldiers Of the regular and volunteer
forces of the Emitted States whose re-
mains are inferred in the National Mill
tary Cemeteries This law has been car
ried out, and the graves of the Nation 8
dead in these cemeteries are now per-
manently marked. At the instance Of
the War Department, Congress has re-
Gently authorized the erection of similar
headstones over the graves of the Union
soldiers who are buried in private and
village cemeteries. This will be done
as soon as the necessary arrangements
can be made. In the meantime the
Ouartermaster General, at Washington,
win at once proceed to collect the
necessary information as to where these
beadstones are required, All persons
having any knowledge of the burial
places of soldiers in private cemeteries
whose graves are not marked, are reques-
ted to communicate the fact to the Quar-
termaster General, and give regiment
company, and date OF death OF deceased
if known. Similar information is Gesir-
ed from parties in charge of such GENE
teries. OF course it as not intended to
furnish headstones for graves over which
monuments have already been erected by
relatives or friends of the deceased.

TIE HOROSCOPE OF 1879

A reporter of the New York Graphic
gathered a number of Interesting pre-
dictions in a recent conversation with
prophet of that city. AS the Herald re-
marks, between blessings and Affections
the line is drawn with reasonable con-
sideration, but there is still enough of
warning in these prophesies to cause
any prudent man to keep his weather
eye open. The prophet is understood
to be Mr.. D. G. Croly, a prominent
journalist of New York, and he proph-
estes as follows:
1. The year 1879 will, on the whole,
be a prosperous one for the United
States. There will be a general revival
of industry, labor will be employed and
confidence in the future universally felt.
Before the close of the year there will
be a widespread interest IN precious
metal mining. A dangerous speculative
feeling in other industries will soon
show itself.
2. There will be partial failure of
crops this year Our hay crop on the
Atlantic slope will be short
3. AT least two important failures of
Wall sstreet magnates viii take place
this year. They will be of persons with
whose names every one is familiar.
A. An unsuspected weakness in our
national banking system may be deveE
oped during the coming year.
5. The disproportion between our ex-
ports and imports, such as we have wit
messed for the past two years, will come
to an end before 1881. Home prices
Will go higher and foreign goods be
sold cheaper. We shall export less
and import more. Unless the "unex-
pected' occurs there win be drain in
gold abroad, and then resumption, as at
present established, must be legislated
upon anew or 1t will fail.
8. Should the country be prosperous
and resumption stand until the national
conventions meet in 1880, John Sher.
man win be the candidate of the Re
publican party for the Presidency.
q Resumption has not settled all our
financial difficulties. Questions affect
ing the business interests of the country
win be the subject of many warm polit-
ical contests. But the final result will
be the establishment of national bank
similar to that of Great Britain or
France, but probably called by US by a
different name When that occurs the
Secretary of The Treasury win be strip
ped Of much of the power he row pos
sesses
s. A foreign war before many years
are over is not improbable, due to the
weakness of our navy and the unpro-
tected condition of our rich seaport
cities.
O. a new pestIlence or the revival of
an old one, which viii effect the people
inhabiting the temperate zone, is among
the probabilities of the near future.
10. A. new motor will soon be discov-
cred which. viii make air navigation
possible.

A CRUEL FATE.

Mrs. Surratt.

Gen. H. w. Slocum, one Of the
most distinguished brigade, division,
corps, and grand division command.
ers of the war, recently delivered 8
lecture in Brooklyn on events of the
great struggle, during the course of
which he expressed the opinion al.
ways held by the Union, that Mrs.
Surratt was a murdered woman.
He said:
The murder of Mrs. Surratt was
the most cruel and cowardly act ev.
er committed in any civilized coun.
try. 1t is curious and suggestive
fact that all who were chiefly respon.
sible for the execution of that inno.
cent woman have felt the unseen
hand of theGreatAvenger. Stanton,
Secretary of War, who was perhaps,
the worst of the number, committed
suicide in a fit of remorse, although
the fact was sought to be concealed.
Preston King, the Senator from
New York, who repulsed Annie
Surratt from the Presidents door, in
like manner ended his own life by
deliberately jumping from a ferry
boat ia the North river at New York
and drowning himself. Andrew John
son, who signed the death warrant
and despotically suspended the writ
ofhabe0s coTpusthat had been granted
by the court, was stricken suddenly
with death upon his return to the
Senate after he had left the Presi-
dency. Judge Advocate Holt, who
conducted the prosecution, long age
disappeared from public view, and
whether dead or alive nobody knows
and Dobody cares. And John A.
Brigham, who assisted Holt, was
driven from Congress in disgrace as
enc of the credit mobilier bribe ia.
kers, and sought refuge in Japan,
where we believe, he now is.

To the Editor Of the Morristown Gazette: s-
The facts which led a second jury

Drs. S. N. Tate, j P. Legg. G. A

and G. E. Cosson, was thorough

violence which could not have been
seen without dissection; the benefit
of which the first jury did not have.
First, they discovered. a fracture Of
the skull-bone one inch above and
not connected with the Two holes
below the base of the brain, sup
posed to have been made by the
passage of bullets. This fracture
seems to have been caused from a
blow. Second, they found a severe
bruise on the back, extending across
the fourth, fifth and sixth ribs near
the spinal column, lacerating in
spots the muscles of the back. This
bruise must have been inflicted with
q heavy weapon, dealt by strong
arm, as no connection existed be-
tween this bruise and the one caused
by the bullet holes, and four out OF
the SIX physicians say, no internal
agency could have caused it. Two
of the physicians thought the bruise
could not have been Inflicted exter-
nally, because there was no sign of
it on the surface of the skin. The
best reason given by the four ply
sicians for the non-appearance of
the bruise On the skin was, that the |
profusion of blood by the severance !

These facts go to disprove the
