He dictates = Sermon on the Text,
For the Time Of MY Departure IL al
Hand''-signineanceo OF the Word ''De.
Parture."
BBooKLYS, June l9-Rev. DR.. Talmage
Is now on the Atlantic, having sailed from
New York on the 18th inst. for Liverpool
for preaching tour in England, Scotland,
Ireland and Sweden. Before visiting
Sweden Dr.. Talmage viii 90 to Russia,
there to witness the reception and disposi-
tion Of the cargo Of breadstuffs on board
The Christian Herald relief steamship Leo.
which sailed last week for st. Petersburg.
Previous to his departure he dictated to
his stenographef the following farewell
sermon, to be read by the vast and widely
scattered audiences whom It is his weekly
privilege to address through the medium
Of the newspaper press. He took his text
from II Timothy iv, &, THE time Of my
depaFtgFe Is at hand"
peparturel That Is 3 word used only
twice In all the Bible. But it Is word
often used in the courtroom, and means
the desertion Of one course of pleading for
another. It is used In navigation to de-
scribe the distance between two meridiaHs
passing through the extFemities OF a
course. Il Is a word have recently heard
applied to my departure from America to
Europe for preaching tour to last until
September In a smaller and less signih-
cant sense than that implied in the text,
can say, The time Of my departure Is at
hand"

sermon to my readers all the world over,
and when they read it / will be in mid

tant the word departure when applied to
exchange of continents as when applied 10
exchange Of worlds as when Paul wrote,
THE time Of my departure Is at hand"
Now departure implies a starting place
and a place of destination. When Paul
left this world, what was the starting
point? It was a scene OF great physical
distress. 1t was the Tullianum, the lower
dungeon Of the Mamertine prison, Rome,
Italy. The top dungeon was bad pnough,
il having no means of ingress or egress,
but through an opening In the top

1t Must BE Easy Indeed.

The Republicans are already raising

presidential campaign in which the Re-

would be a novelty indeed. How easy
it is to arouse military enthusiasm in

An Infamous Elections Law.

In addition to the congressional and leg
islative gerrymander of the state, the
fraudulently Democratic New York legis-
lature enacted, and Gov Flower signed,
in spite of many earnest protests, bill re-
lating to the inspectors of elections in the
cities of the state, which is deliberately de-
signed to put the election machinery in
New York city into the control of Tam
many. The law which this iniquitous en-
actment displaces was formed under S. j.
Tilden's supervision when he was fighting
the Tweed ring, and has worked to the
satisfaction of all honest men. 1t provid-
ed for the appointment of two inspectors
of elections, from each of the two great
parties, in each election district, while the
new law reduces the number to three, and
the provisions for their selection are so lax
that it will be perfectly easy to put the
control of casting and counting the votes
into the hands of Tammany men. Under
such law it will be easy to roll up Demo
cratic majorities in New York and Brook
lyn that will wipe out any Republican ma
iorities that the country districts may give.
1t is not Republicans alone, but lifelong
Democrats of prominence and integrity,
who have protested in vain against this in
famous enactment.

The Democratic factions met in deadly
combat at Montpelier yesterday and Mr..
Atkins was easily the victor. His men
forced the fight from the onset and it
proved that the test came on the manner
of electing the state committee. The an
ti-Atkins men have all along believed that
their best chance of defeating Mr.. Atkins
lay in securing the election of a chairman
of the state committee in full convention,
instead of by the usual method of electing
state committee by counties and then
leaving the election of a chairman to the
committee. Our report of the proceedings
shows that it was on an attempt to carry
vote to elect a chairman by the former
method that the rout of the Antis came,
after wrangle lasting during large part
of the afternoon session. The claim is
made by the Brattleboro anti-Atkins men
that no test was made on the real issue,
and that the contest was dropped after the
announcement of the death of Mrs. At
kins was brought into the convention.
The fact is, however, that the vote show
ing 34S delegates for Mr.. Atkins to
220 for the Antis was taken before the
news of Mrs. Atkins's death was received
and even while the cheers over the defeat
of the opposing faction were dying away.
In view of the eXtravagant claims made
week after week by the Bratteboro Demo
cratic organ, of positive knowledge, 'doub-
ly and trebly verified" of how the delegates
would vote this outcome is entertaining
Its meaning and logical results will be a
subject for future discussion.

1t having been intimated that these persons are
the paid agents of the Royal Baking Powder Com

so-caled test is sham, and that the females in

make false statements in all kitchens to which they
can gain access by concerns who are trying to palm
off upon housekeepers an inferior brand of baking
powder through the operation of fallacious and de-
ceptive methods.

employs such agents, and whenever the name of

The last Congress, it will be remember
ed, enacted postal subsidy law, to encour-
age American shipbuilding, which provid-
ed certain amount of government aid to
fast steamship lines built in this country
to carry the mails to foreign countries. \
committee of Congress has been investi-
gating'the operation of this law and the
Republican members, in their report, bring
out some facts which are surprising. At
one shipyard in San Francisco eight large
steamships have been renovated to meet
the new requirements, one swift passenger
steamer has been built, and $3,0O0,0C
worth of new first-class tonnage is under
negotiation. The Cramps at Philadelphia
report one 45O0-ton ship launched, ,one ready
to launch, the keel of still another laid,
and contracts closed for three ships of TO-
600 tons burthen each, TO cost about So
100000. The firm are employing 1900
men, are paying ont $4,000 month for
labor alone, and will soon have 1000 me-
chanics at work. And yet, in spite of this
showing, the Democratic members of the
committee recommend the repeal of the
postal aid law They care nothing for
facts so long as they can stickle for pet
theory.
