AT HOME.
DIR. Talmage is at his best in describing
the happiness and beauty of real home.
"a church within church, republic
within republic, world within world,
is spelled by four letters-home! If
things go right there, they go right every
where. If things go wrong there, they go
wrong everywhere" said he. 1.-The home
organization is most beautifully con-
structed. Eden has gone;' the bowers are
all broken down; the animals that Adam
stroked with his hand that morning when
they came up to get their names have
since shot forth tusk and sting, and
growled panther at panther; and mid-air,
iron beaks plunge till with clotted wing
and eyeless sockets the twain come whirl-
ing down from under the sun in blood and
fire. Eden has gone, but there Is Just one
little fragment left. 1t foated down on
the river Hiddekel out of Paradise. 1t is
the marriage institution" But this does
not need be wealthy home; happiness
will be there if each yields to the other
i'll requirements. You may not have
everything just as you want it. Some
times it will be the duty of the husband
and sometimes of the wife to yield; but
both stand punctiliously on your rights
and you will have a Waterloo with no
Butcher coming up at nightfall to decide
the conflict. 1t is sad thing when the
painter has a wife who does not like
pictures, and sad thing when the must
cal wife has husband who does not like
music. 1t is very sad thing when a

MARRIAGE, EsoAPADE AND

our modern society Is INFESTED. IneSe
women, in their single blessedness, are
angels"
CLANDEsTINE MARRIAGE, EsCAPADE AND
DIVORCE.
These were the ubiects for two of his
lectures, the most popular of the series
thus far. He says secret marriages mean
poverty, disgrace, abandonment, divorce,
death and hell. "The heroes of escapades
are nearly all either bigamists, or liber
tines, or drunkards, or defrauders, or first
class scoundrels of some sort They have
no character to lose. They may be dress
ed in the height of fashion, may be col
ogned, and pomatumed, and padded and
acknowledged, and famtoyant-cravat
ted, until they bewitch the eye and intoxi-
cate the olfactories, but they are double
distilled extracts of villiany, moral dirt
and blasphemy. Beware of them. Fugi-
tive marriage is to be deplored because it
almost always implies woman's descent
from higher social plane to lower. In
almost all cases it means the lowering of
womanhood. Observe this law: A man
marrying woman beneath him in society
may raise her to an eminence that he him
self may reach but if woman marries
man beneath her in society she always
goes down to his level. Divorce or worse,
if anything can be worse, must follow the
escapade marriage. For the worst pre-
dicament possible is to be unhappily
yoked. The yoke will not break, and the
more you pull the more CALLING it be-
comes"
Such a life tends to infdelity to the
marriage VOWS in every way, and the sim
full life will follow, and to the end. What
time that will be in which the cover
shall be lifted from every home and from
every heart. The man who was unclean
and the woman who was IMPURE, will, I'M
der light brighter than thousand noon
day suns, stand with the whole story writ
ten on scalp, and forehead, and cheek, and
hands, and feet; the whole resurrection
body afame and dripping with fiery dis
closures, ten thousand sepulchral and eel
estial and internal voices crying, 'Unclean!
uncean! unc can! All marital intrigues
and all secret iniquities will be published,
as though all the trumpets spoke them
and all the lightenings capitalized them,
and all the earthquakes rumbled them.
o man, recreant to thy marriage vow!
o woman, in sinful collision! What then
will become of thy poor soul? The tum-
bling Alps and Pyrenees and Mount Wash
ingtons cannot hide thee from the conse-
quences of thy secret sins. Better repent
of them now, so that they cannot be
brought against thee. For the chief of
sinners there is pardon, if you ask for 1t
in time" On the subject of divorce and

what is called "a genteel business SO
far as 1 understand, a genteel business is
something to which man goes at 10
o'clock in the morning, and from which
he comes home at o'clock in the after
noon, and gets large amount of money
for doing nothing. That is, believe, a
'genteel BUSINESS; and there has been
many wife who has made the mistake of
not being satisfied until the husband has
given up the tanning of the hides or the

of the walls, and put himself in circles

FEDERAL COURT.
TRIAL OF MATHEW ROACH.

TRIAL OF MATHEW ROACH.
verdict of mot guilty" was returned
by the jury yesterday, in the case of the
United States VS.. Mathew Roach.
Three days were consumed in the trial,
and it is probably the most important
criminal case to be tried at this term of
the federal court.
Squire Roach has for ten years been a
county commissioner and justice of the
peace of Lampasas county, and is one of
the best known and highest esteemed cit
liens in that section of the state. He
was indicted for being engaged in con-
spiracy to defraud Uncle Sam out of
about $4,000, by making out fraudulent
pension claims. The chief witness for
the state was Mrs. Mollie e. Arlington.
1t seems that in 1882, Mrs. Arlington
made an affidavit to the effect that she
was the married widow of Mr.. Gillen, a
United States soldier in the late war, and
was entitled to over $4,000 back pay, the
facts being that she had married her sec
ond husband, Arlington, in 1878. Upon
this affidavit the back pension pay was
sent to her from Washington, and she con-
tinued to draw her pension quarterly, I'M
til about 1884, when Squire Roach in
formed the federal authorities that there
was something rotten in Denmark"
Mrs. Arlington was arrested, pleaded
guilty and was sent to the penitentiary
last year. She was pardoned, in order to
testify in the cases of Roach and others,
and testified in effect that Roach was the
prime mover in the swindle, that he re-
ceived half the money. and forged some
of the names on the affidavits.
The evidence was all in at half-past ten
yesterday morning, and United States
District Attorney Kleberg opened the ball
in speech of about an hour. L. W.
Gregory followed for the defendant, in a
speech of an hour and quarter, and
Judge Terrell followed for the defense
with one of his characteristic, mastery
efforts, holding the closest attention of
the jury for an hour and half. Mr..
Kleberg closed the case for the state, at
about $3.50 p. m, and in fifteen minutes
the jury brought in verdict of mot
guilty" The many friends of Squire
Roach will be gratifed to learn of his &C
quittal of the grievous charge.
Mr.. Kleburg appears before us for the
first time in his new role of United States
district attorney, and he fills the position
we'll Jack Evans has no unworthy sue
cessor, and higher compliment than
this could not be paid to any man.

Activity, energy and restlessness are
his names. If he ever sleeps, nobody
outside his own household ever caught

gular in person, he is a perfect embodi-

is never "cross" at home or abroad, and
his very nod is "Good cheer to you, sir!''
He is too active to get "fat." When he

THE MARRIAGE RING.
MARRIAGE AND DIVORCE
ACCORDING TO TALL
MAGE.
THE GREATEST SENSATIONAL
PREACHER OF THE AGE STILL
ATTRACTING CROWDS TO
THE BROOKLYN TAB
ERNACLE.

The most notorious of all the notOriety-
and sensational preachers of these
times is Talmage. 1t is wonderful how
he retains his hold upon popularity.
Crowds flock to the Brooklyn tabernacle
every Sunday morning, always sure of
hearing something new and something
that they would not hear anywhere else.
This genus reguans of sensational theol
ogy is the one soldier of the cross who
never lays his armor sdown. He is not es-
pecially eloquent nor remarkably ortho-
dox, but he seems to interest those who
go to hear him. Undoubtedly he is man
of ability. He knows little about every
thing, even to life in the slums of New
York, and has somewhat dogmatic way
of expressing his views. Whether his
style of preaching eyer accomplishes any
thing for the cause of morality or religion
may be questioned. Just now he is regal
ing his hearers with a series of sermons
upon "The Marriage Ring" under which
head he is conducting general discussion
of the subject of marriage and divorce
and kindred matters. In these sermons
the lecturer undoubtedly says some good
things and gives some good advice. All
advice on this subject is good. 1t may be
good advice to tell man to marry and it
may be better advice to tell woman not
to marry. If in its caption his subject
seems commonplace, the very uncommon
mode of DR.. Talmage's treatment of it
Immediately dispels all idea of common
atty in it. You at once find it it matter

upon the commonest and home
liest topic he is sure to say all

New York Tribune, February Sth.
The Brooklyn tabernacle was crowded
to excess yesterday morning. DIR. Tai
mage continued his course of sermons on
the Marriage Ring" and chose as his
text Genesis, xiv, 63-"Isaac went out to
mediate in the field at eventide, and he
lifted up his eyes, and saw, and beheld the
camels were coming" In the course of
his sermon he said: 81 shall this morn
ing take it for granted that your marriage
is all right, and shall go ON and advise
you how to treat your wife. My ambition
is to tell you more plain truth than you
have ever heard in any three-quarters of
an hour in all your life. And first of all
| charge you to realize the responsibility
of having taken her away from the custody
of her loving parents and from the home
stead in which she was sheltered. 1t is
amazing that any of US have the sublim-
ity of impudence to ask such transfer
to home that is not yet constructed.
How ought you to treat her? My brother,
you ought to treat her well; you ought to
treat her better than any one else in the
universe, excepting God Almighty. Her
name should sound sweeter than music to
you, and her eyes, though swollen with
watching a child sick with the scarlet
fever, should be brighter to you than
May morning. She has first mortgage
on you, body, mind and soul. Now, why
don't you pay your debts? You believe
in the force of a contract. If you prom
ised faithfulness and kindness and have
not fulfilled those promises, then you
have fraudulently induced one into con-
jugal partnership and should be impris-
oned for obtaining goods under false pre-
lenses and should be mulcted for large
amount of damages. Oh, fulfill yohr
contract! Men of business have lots of
contracts, and sometimes they take them
and read what the party of the
first part and the party of the second part
agreed to. Have you forgotten your con-
tract? Then you had better take, buy or
borrow an Episcopal prayer-book and read
the marriage contract. The marriage re-
ation is more sacred after a baptism of
tears-tears over. the lost, over the grave.

the house you were as full of smiles and
politeness as a peach orchard in blossom

That cry for pity woven in song.

Before church and overhead the spre,

Held towards Heaven, land of the hearts

The hat of its stamped brood was emptied soon
Into the woman's lap, who drenChed with
Her kiss upon the hand of help; twas noon,
And noon in her glad heart drove forth her

The singer, pleased, passed on and softly
thought:
"Men will not know by whom this deed was

But when at night he came upon the stage
Cheer after cheer went up from that wide
throng,
And flowers rained ON him; nought could as

The tumult of the welcome save the song
That he had sweetly sung with covered

For the two beggars in the market place.
