Another Large Congregation and a Fine
Sermon.
At the meeting last night the rink was
again crowded with an attentive and in
tereSted audience, assembled TO hear the
great evangelist, and although the meet
ing was for men a great many ladies were
present. The services opened with the
familiar hymn What Shall the Harvest
BE" in which the congregation Joined,
their voices rising and blending into the
music in a most impressive manner. Sew
eral well-known hymns were sung, the
choir singing the verses and the cOngrega-
ton joining in the chorus, after which Mr..
Moody rose and announced his text. He
took for his subject Galatious vi, eth verse,
BE We not deceived; God is not Knocked,
for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he
also reap"
He first called the attention of the con-
gregation to the fact that this was the
unalterable law of nature, which had held
good all through the ages. Adam had
reaped the reward of his sowing, Cain,
Jacob, David, al had their reaping.
None could escape this result.

question and looking at it only from the
worldly standpoint it is evident that the
texts true. In every newspaper you pick
up you can see how some man has been
reaping q harvest, the seed of which was
planted years before.
He said that it was not necessary for him
to call attention to the first part of the text.
Every one knew what deception was.
Every one had been deceived in some way.
But it was as impossible to deceive God as
it was for Him to practice deception, and
with this thought before the minds of the
congregation that God was looking down
iuto their hearts, and that every thought
stood revealed before Him, he would call
their attention to the text.
The speaker stated that his discourse
for the evening would be arranged nnder

to reap something; second, that he IL

A Syracuse, N. Y. despatch OF Sept. u
says; Judge /. s. Spencer Of this city was
found dead in his office in the Onondaga
county savings bank building year ago last
March. He was prominent lawyer and a
member Of the FIRST Presbyterian church,
and at the time of his death was the attorney,
manager and executor for several large es.
tates, including the Brinkerhof estate Of
Chittennago, valued at 500. 900. Shortly af-
ter the judges death rumors that he WAS a
defaulter to a large extent became current,
aud an examination OF his books showed that
he owed large sums to estates held in trust
which his estate would be unable to pay. An
investigation showed that he had lost large
sums in Wall street. where he speculated in
his wifes name. He was in the habit OF
spending good deal of his time in New
York. Yesterday the report Of an expert
accountant who has been at work on the ao-
counts OF the BrinkerhoG estate for q year
was made public, and it shows that Judge
Spencer was defaulter to the extent Of over
800, 900. Some OF the trust funds and es-
tates in his hands have entirely disappeared.
Judge Spencer moved in the highest circles,
and the proofs OF his defalcations have caused
great excitement

The professors who were sent to Charl' g.

ing their reports Prof. Msndenhall has
completed charts showing the intensity Of
the shock felt in different parts OF the coun-
try when Charleston was wrecked These
are divided according to intensity into Ave
classes. Prof. Mendenhall says there will
probably not be another severe earthquake in
Charleston for centuries. That there contin-
ues rumbling in the earth he says is ia
vorable sign. 1t shows that the earth is ac-
curing stability gradually, and there is not
apt to be another violent shock They have
learned from their investigation that the cen
tire of disturbance was not deep seated, and
that the shock was not volcanic. There was
no heat attending the shock. The professor
thinks it criminal for Virgins to Brighten the
nervous people by his predictions, and that
he ought to be suppressed.

David W. Judd writes from Iowa to the
American Agriculturist However much the
citizens of Iowa may disagree m to the pro-
hibition laws, provided for us by both the
state constitution and the votes Of the legis-
lature, strangers cannot be otherwise than
impressed with the remarkable effects Of
these prohibition enactments and the limo
walton often borders on the humorous. For
example, instead of seeing, as In the saloons
surrounding the railroad depots in other
states, such "bulletns" az "Old Grow, "
"Whiskey Punches" "Hot Societies. ken
lucky Blue Grass" etc, etc, one is informed
by the placards In saloons surrounding the
depots at Des Moines and other points in
Iowa, that "Hot Coffee" "Hot Tea" and
Pure Lemonade, etc, ETC., are 'served up
here" or course this order of things pro-
vokes no little opposition. But wait, says
the earnest advocate OF temperance, until you
read the reports, after two years, from our
Iowa prisons and jsis, until you see how
much our taxes are reduced by the absence
OF murder trials, and the expenses attending
all the other crimes and excuses resulting
from free rum"

ONE OF THE FREAKS OF THE LATE MAD KING
OF Bavaria is thus described by the Munich

fsts aud said, SECT out do not want

away as rapidly az he could. Then the king
had II succession of Wallets each one OF which
seemed worse, more stupid, and incompetent
than his predecessor, until the king was fran
tic all the time. The Baron Schneider, chief
of the palace, urged him to take his old valet
back again, but he refused on the ground
that his dignity would not permit him to do
So when he had said he wished never to see
the mans face again. Then the baron had Q
happy idea. VERY well, your majesty" he
said, you need not see his face again. We
will make blaekamOOr of him" To that
the king assented oheerfully, and thereafter,
until his death, be vss Faithfully served by
an apparent negro. who was, however, in re-
ality native of Munich, his old white valet.

What is there that makes the minister
cheat the deacon, and the deacon skin his
brother, in horse trade? On the turf, too,
the horse is the subject of more betting and
gambling than any other of our domestic an
finals. The base ball nine may come near
the same level, but the horse is understood
to enjoy the uuenvisble distinction of being
associated most extensively with this kind of
immortality. The fault appears to rest with
the men who are the horses companions. We
once saw the question "Why can we not
have an honest horse-race ?" The pointed
and appropriate answer was because we
have not the honest human race National

THE RECKLESS SLAUGHTER OF BUFFALoEs. -
In riding over the green turf of the open
country, one sees everywhere white objects
which so reflect the strong sunshine that they
almost dazzle the eye. These are the bleach
ing skulls of the buffaloes that used to roam
in thousands through this region. Every one
has read how, only fifty years ago, millions
of buffaloes wandered over nearly half of the
United States now there are no great herds
except in the territory of Montana, and from
that territory more than hundred thousand
skins have been sent to the east in year
For nearly every skin that is sent away, about
half ton of fine meat is left to decay on the
prairie. 1t is reckless waste of animal life,
and l am sorry to say that our government
does very little to stop it. Within ten years
there will be no more great herds of buffa-
loes in the United States. Small bands of
them will linger hidden away in the valleys,
but by the time some boys who have read
this have lived to be old men, the American
bison will probably be seen only where it is
kept as a curiosity just as the one little
band of aurochs-the last descendants of the
wild cattle which used to roam over Europe
is kept by the Emperor of Russia. ~
