The Ballot Box.

The ballot box was the subject OF
DIR. Talmage's sermon, in the Brook
lyn Tabernacle last Sunday, and
the following are his closing SEN
tenceS
"Oh, sirs, we cannot live under
any other form of government than
that under which we are living.
The stars of our flag ore not the
stars of thickening night, but stars
sparkling amid the red bars OF
morning cloud. Let the despotisms
of Asia keep their feet off the Pa
cific coast. Let the tyranies of Eu-
rope keep their feet off the Attain
tic coast. We shall have in this
country only one government and
on this continent only one govern
ment. At the South, Mexico will
follow Texas into the Union and
Christianity and civilization will
stand in the halls of the Monsezu-
mas; and if not in our day then in
the day of our children. Yucatan
and Central America will wheel in
TO line of dominion. On the north
Canada will be ours, not by con-
quest, for sEnglish and American
swords may never clash blades, but
we will simply woo the fair neigh
Dor of the north and she will be
ours, and England will say to Can
ada: "You are old enough for the
marriage day. Giant of the West,
go lake your BRIDE" Then from
Baffin's bay to the Caribbean there
shall be one republic, under one
banner, and with one destiny-a
free, undisputed, Christianszed
American continent. God grant 1t.
Amen

Choni ha-Maagol was all his life
unable to understand the Biblical
passage, "When the Lord turned

a journey, he saw man planting
a carob tree, and asked him how
long period he expected would
elapse before the tree became fruit

ply. "Do you then expect to live
20 years and to eat of the fruit p"
"When entered the world" was
the answer, 81 found carob trees in

his meal, and deep sleep fell upon
him, and he slumbered. The rock
closed up around him, and he was
hidden from the sight of men. And
thus he lay for 10 years. When he
awoke and rose to his feet, 10! he
beheld man cutting of the fruit of
the very carob tree that he had
seen planted. ChOni asked: "Dost
thou know who it was that planted
this tree" "My grandfather"

A Divers Dangerous Adventure.
Memphis Avalanche.

A very painful and decidedly un-
usual accident occurred yesterday
near the Kansas City incline on the
other side of the river, where ex-
tensive pile driving is now being
done. The victim of the accident
was a daring submarine diver
named James Moore. Yesterday
afternoon he had occasion to go un-
der the water in the pursuit Of his
business. Those who were on terra
firma noted the fact that he remain
ed under the water Il very long
time, and they became fearful that
something had happened to him.
Accordingly another diver WAS
sent down te sre what WAS the mat
ter. When the second diver re.tcll-
ed the bottom he Was Mortified to
find that Moore was fastened by tha
foot to one of the piles. While at
work in the water the pile driver
had come down, driven spike
through the heshy part of MoOre's
foot, and piniOned him to it. The
poor fellow was i'm a terrible delem-
ina, and was nearly dead when dis
covered. There was no way to pull
the spike out, and in consequence 4
knife had to be procured. Moore's
foot was cut out between two of the
toes, and; he was extricated from his
dreadful situation. When taken
ashore he was almost unconscious
from intense pain. There was no
other way to relieve the poor fell
low except to slit the foot. Fortu-
nately for him the spike was dri-
ven through the fieshy portion OF
the foot, and no arteries were pierre
ed. His wound Is exceedingly pain
full, and will keep him confined for
several weeks, but 1t Is not regarded
as dangerous. Moore was taken to
his home, on the southeast corner
of Alabama and Washington streets,
in Fort Pickering.

A ShFewd SWIndie.

Two natives entered the empori-
um of Mohammedan dealer in
one of the Calcutta baZars and pur-
chased a valuable shawl. They
hesitated 10 pay for it, rs it did not
| appear convenient for them to car
| ry it away just then, but the dealer,
an avaricious old scoundrel, fearful
of losing his bargain, persuaded
them to part with their money and
leave the shawl, 10y giving them a
receipt for the amount, which was
duly witnessed by one of the police.
Scarcely had the buyer departed
when an English sailor came in,
reckless, spendthrift, forcible in
expression, three parts drunk, and
otherwise characteristic of Jack
ashore. The follower of the prophet
spoke little IDgleesh, as he spoke
and did everything else which
tended to the transference of repees
or annas from other pockets to his
own, and was not long in finding
out that Jack wanted something to
take home as present to black
eyed Susan. Unfortunately, the
faithful mariners rowing eye alight-
ed on the shawl which had just
been sold, and with the obstinacy
peculiar TO his class and condition
he insisted on having that shawl
and no other. In vain the merchant
told him it was sold. Very well
he would walk down the bazar and
try elsewhere. An exorbitant sum
was named as the price. Jack did
not care; he had plenty of money.
1t would cost double that, he was
told, to get it back from those to
whom ii now belonged. Jack was
willing to pay for ali. There is no
doubt that the Moslem's consci-
ence would have allowed him to
sell the shawl readily enough; but
the purchasers had his receipt, and
even though he returned the mon
ey, the transaction might bring
him under the strong arm of the
law, for which he entertained an
exaggerated respect. Unwilling to
lose the chance of so much profit,
he babe the sailor return at a
certain hour, telling him that he
should have the garment he so great
ly coveted.
1t was Just as he feared. When
the dusky customers arrived they
refused to accept their money back
again, fourished the receipt, and
threatened to appeal to the judge II
their property was not at least hand
ed over to them. A small bribe,
offered as an inducement to them to
forego their bargain, had to be in
creased to large one before it pro-
duced any effect, and when one
wavered his companion stood firm.
At last the douceur was cOnsidera-
BILE enough to satisfy both, and was
handed over tt, them in addition to
their original purchase money. The
receipt was torn up, and the mer-
chant found himself once more in
legal possession of the shawl, with
fair though greatly diminished mar
gin left for profit. He hurried to
the door to await the return of the
extravagant seaman, and was just
In time to see that ingenious son OF
Neptune, as sober as lord chief
justice, dividing the proceeds of
the little dodge with his two Lascar
at the end of the narrow
street.

The Forgiveness of SIN.
Extract from Bishop Dudley's sermon, in
Philadelphia Times.

Philadelphia Times.
Bishop Dudley, of Kentucky
preached yesterday morning at the
Church OF the Epiphany. He took
his text from the ninth chapter OF
the Gospel according 10 Matthew /:
but that We may know that the
Son of Man hath power on earth to
forgive sins, (then saith He to the
sick of the palsy,) Arise, take up
thy bed and go into thine house,
and he arose and departed to his
| house,"
These" said the Bishop, "were
the sweetest words that ever sound
ed on the ear of that poor paralytic.
Christ had already assured him that
his sins were forgiven, and doubt
less he was happy enough in his
newly found faith. But there were
friends there who had hoped to see
his infirmity healed. The hostile
Scribes, too, were there, and as
Christ spoke the words, BE of good
cheer, thy sins be forgiven thee
we can almost see the stare of indig-
nant piety upon their faces as they
said in their hearts, This man bias
phemeth.' Then the time had
come for Christ to manifest His
power, and He rebuked them in
the words of the text. BY His mas
terry over both sin and disease"
the preacher said, "Jesus had PROV
ed at once His divinity and Son.
ship: He had proved that the Son
of man was the Son of God, that
the Child, OF Mary was Jehoyah's
own Ambassador. Now, a then,
Christ Was saying to us, BE of good
cheer, thy sins be forgiven thee,'
and unbelieving scribes were laugh
ing in derisive pity at the poor sin
sick victims who find in this prom.
Use staff on which to lean. This,
they say, is only the delusion which
craft has put upon ignorance. But
the healed" said the preacher,
"know that they are born again and
that Christ alone has power to for
give sins. Like the prodigal we
come to Him with our scars and |
infirmities and tattered garments
and Christ says, son, be of good |
cheer; thy sins. are forgiven thee,
and he orders the best robe to be |
brought out and welcomes us home.
"But the one commando" the
Bishop said. "was never spoken
without the other. We must rise
up and WALK in order to prove the
efficacy of His forgiveness. We
must not continue to sleep upon the
cid bed we are hidden to carry
away. The new birth must be
by new life, devoted
to the glory of Him who has healed

The Value OF q Kiss.

A kiss is an ephemeral thing at
best, and its commercial value is
fard to determine. The problem
has been grappled with by a Penn
sylvania jury and solved apparent
ly to its own satisfaction. A plain
tiff in breach OF promise case de-
clared that her tickle lover had
kissed her little over IO0, 900 times,
whereupon the jury rendered ver-
dict in her favor OF 81 ,008.33, or, as
the foreman stated, one cent for
each kiss. Taken all in all, this is
not an excessive tax for a thing
which may be classed among the
luxuries of life.

New YORK. May 31.-The universal
comment this morning respecting the
bridge horror. is that the same accident
was liable to happen at any time, no mat
ter what police restrictions may be unless
steps are abolished. or at least divided for
two streams of pedestrians. Superin-

pass over the bridge, it was not intended
to accommodate any such travel as we
are having; as to steps. it had been de :
cided to put a railing up and down the
middle to divide the people.
Numbers have inquired at the police
headquarters this morning for children
or friends supposed to be on the bridge
at the time of the accident. Only in one
or two cases there is reason to suppose
the missing person might have been on
the bridge. Oak street police report that
they have a cart load of property taken
from the anchorage. Most of the clothing
is torn beyond recognition; very few arti-
cles have been claimed.

At the same time he was warned that
