A Sermon Delivered in Sqaa's
Hall, Edinburgh.
ANIMMENsE coNcoURsE OF PEOPLE.
The Wonders Of the Time in Which
We Live Equal to Those of
Any Age.
A STIRRING AND VIVID SERMON.

EDINBURGH, August 23.-Dr. Tslmage
delivered sermon on The Wonders Of
These Times" this morning in the Square
Hall, Edinburgh to an immense audience
which comprised large proportion of the
leading people Of the city and surrounding
places. Upwards of twenty thousand people
we're present His discourse was heard with
the utmost interest. Great difficulty was
had in getting to the Hall, and after preach
ing indoors he was compelled to preach
outside. The opening hymn begins with
the line: Jesus shall reign where'er
the sun" Mr.. Tslmsge's scripture lesson
was taken from the Twenty'fourth Chapter
Of Matthew, the passage having re:erenceto
the second coming of Christ. He took for
his text: Il will show wonders in the
heavens and in the earth. Joel, chapter
2, v 80. The following is full report of
The Sermon
delivered:
Our eyes dilste and our heart quickens
its pulsation as we read OF events in the
sixth century, the eighth century, the four
teenth century; bat there are more far
reaching events crowded into the nineteenth
century than into any other, and the last
quarter bids fair to eclipse the preceding
three quarters. We read IN the daily news
papers of events announced in one. para
graph and without any especial emphasis
# events which Herodotus, Josephus, a
Xenophon, Gibbon would have taken
whole chapters or whole volumes to elsbc-
rate. Looking out upon our time, we must
cry out in the words of the text: Won
ders in the heavens and in the earth
Ipropose to show you that the
Time in which We Live
is wonderful for disaster and wonderful for
blessing, for there must be lights and shades
in this picture as IN all others. Need urge

BEL.LAiRE.

The horse Of Frank Hall, which ran of
on Saturday evening, was standing near the
stone bridge when cattle driver with
large whip accidentally gave the animal O
rap on the back. The poor brute, unable
TO restrain itself, started TO run, and occu-
pied part Of the pavement and part OF the
road until near Zilchs Hall when it, in its
blind rage, cut across the street and uncon-
sciously dashed through bill board that
stands on the lower side Of the wooden
bridge back Of which is bank fifteen or
twenty feet high sloping down to the rail
road. The horse lett the wagon on one
side OF the board while he occupied q very
inconvenient position on the other until cut
loose. When released from his holdings,
the animal took several rolls down the en-
bank neht, alightIng on his all fours at the
bottom. The owner gave his beast that
sort OF exercise that is accorded flyer
after half mile heat and hitched him up
again, seemingly none the worse for his d.
version.

State informing him Of the progress of the

trade in the nine countries visited, giving
the results of their observations and their
opinions Of promoting trade betEesn their

Gus topics, upon which close inquiries were
made, were furnished in the instructions
given by Mr.. Freinghuysen. the late Secre-

between the United States and the other
republics of this hemisphere. They embod-
led a series of propositions which were &C
eepted by every one Of the govern
ments except Chill. The twelve
reports, which will be submitted
to Congress, will make two or three thous-
and printed pages, including the intorma-
ton furnished by the two hundred and fifty
or more merchants interviewed. The Com.
mission has been constantly employed since
the 18th Of last September, when they met
for organization in New York, have travel

W. W. Jackson, Of McKeesport acted for
Hanlsn, and Hamilton Busby was referee.
Both men looked well, and each said he'd
win. The crowd seemed to take no inter
est as TO who would win. Hsnlsn being set
down without argument as winner.
The race was hardly worthy Of the name.
Neither exerted himself. Hanlan waited
for Lee when the latter was too far behind,
and won in l9 minutes. The time was
slow, considering the course, which was
