TALMAGE AND HIS BANJO.
Why His Neighbors II Brooklyn Miss Him
When He Takes His Vacation.

Why His Neighbors h Brooklyn Miss Him
When He Takes His Vacation.
The Rev. DR.. Talmage is sadly missed
by his neighbcrs in BSooklyn in more
ways than one. So if it is a pleasant
thing to be missed" tho popular preach
er probably has plenty Of pleasure.
Everybody knows THAI the doctor is
tond of music, but they arc unaware
that he can e1pertly play the banjo.
Yet it is true.
Before he departed on his vacation
he pretty regularly fnade the early
evenings melodious with the mel
low ''pink-a-punk, ~pahk7a-punk, pank-
pank-pank, thrum-m-nN OF his tavorite
musical instrument as he sat in the
back parlor of his residence on South
Oxford street. Thei windows were
usually open, and the touching strains
of some old time meE3dy tioated out
upon the air.
When he began strPllers in the ad-
jacent park paused to |listen, and peo-
pie in nearby houses came to their
windows in order that they should not
miss a single note. Such sweetly tune
full airs as Annie Laurie" Comm
Through the Rye and Away Down
Upon the Suwanee Ribber" were IA
vorites with him, and when ne played
them his eager auditors always felt like
joining in the refrain But now he
house is silent and the PANIC laid away.
No wonder he is missed. :s
During his absence a young mar
with a cornet, who lives on the same
street, has seemingly tried to fill the
vacancy. He is not an expert, and the
way he can murder music would be
amusing if it was not 50 awful. Every
blast he gives with his cornet sounds
like the wall of a lost soul or a clam
peddler in distress. Still he has been
persistent. Even duria5 the hot, humid
nights of the presenS month he has
chung to his post at an open window
and kept up a steady, ear rasping blare.
People in the vicinity closed their
windows with a vicioi us 'bang!' but
still he kept up the fusilade of mutilat-
ed and discordant notes. There seemed
to be no relief from tls infection until
a happy idea struck 8 Aan across the
street. He opened a Nv, and with
an energy born only o AIR bawled
out:
"Fishl Fish, Fish, Nice, fresh
fish,"
The cornet player did not at first
seem to understand the meaning of the
cry, for after o brief cessation of tor
ture he resumed his work. But the
cry was repeated, this time louder than
before, and the young man stopped,
closed his window and went away, and
his colnet has not since been heard. If
he practices now he probably plays in
the cellar. -
The neighbors long for

SUNDAY MAIL SERVICE.

There Is reason in all things, even in
dong and advocating good thing. 1t
is all very we'll for man who runs
seven-by-nine shop, or a preacher who
is ready TO quarrel with 4 brother
over which is really the Sabbath day,
to insist that all forms of labor shall
absolutely cease on Sunday. But, when
sn interest IS so great and far-reaching
in its scope, that an absolute stoppage
on Sunday means a loss of better
part of Saturday and Monday or a sub
nilsson to grossrisk and inconvenience,
some reason must and will be used.
In reply to the extreme Sabbatarians,
who demand the utter stoppage of the
mails on Sunday, Wansmaker very
sensbly says: "To stop the handling
OF Sunday mails means to stop the
wheels Of the railroads throughout the
country at IL O'Clock Saturday night.
In that case there would be no protec-
ton for mails halted in transit. Hun
dreds Of thousands OF dollars pass
through the mails every day, and the
custody of the mail IN car standing on
a track, while crossing the prairie, or
even at a small village, would be se-
rious matter. Il would be a great &C
complishment for Sunday rest If mail
dispatches from Omaha or san Frau
cisco could lay up At II o'clock satur-
day night. What would become Of the
postal clerks, engineers and train hands
Is not clear"
