Theologic Literature of the Day.

Harold Frederic says, in the New
York Times, that the thirty-ninth vol
ume Of Surgeons sermons has just
been issued The complete edition
will consist Of fifty-tWo volumes. The
sale has been enormous, the demand
increasing tremendously since Spur
geon's death. The aggregate sales, for
all the volumes added together, is put
at the Incredible figure of 70,000,000,
and it is said that the single sermon
on "Baptismal Regeneration has sold
224 ,000i When one also considers the
apparently great sale in this country
of the various editions Of the sermons
and addresses of Phillips Brooks, it
becomes apparent that theology and
religion are no longer utterly depen-
dent ON the popularity of the pulpit.
No preacher ever lived to preach to
such a multitude as Spurgeon is re-
ported now to be addressing from the
grave. And the same printing press
that carries the words of these mod
ern preachers to all corners Of the
world and which must soon carry
them to the ears of those unborn when
Spurgeon and Brooks were preaching,
carries too the Sermon on che Mount
to countless millions, through count
less years; and the epistles of Paul
become open letters" to the world.
1t used to be popular, about the time
that Bellamy's Looking Backward"
appeared, to talk of the coming days
when a man would not have to go to
church to hear a sermon, when he
would be able to sit at home with his
feet on the fender, while the telephone
drummed dogma into his ears. That
time may come, indeed; but already
the day has dawned when man can
sit in his library and have his soul
filed and his spirit expanded with
noble words and high truth, and the
eloquence of the worlds greatest
preachers; when he need not wait I'M
til Sunday for the Strengthening dis
course that he needs; and when, though
he be poor in the worlds goods he yet
may have at his command a chaplain
who will speak to him in such words
as it is given to few persons to speak
Or write.
When we talk about the waning
power of the church, of the lessened
attendance, and Of the decreasing in
fiuence Of the preacher, it should be
remembered that the church has now
n new power, which. no man can meas
ure, and which is the same that in
past years has proved very nearly the
greatest power in the World.-Post
Express.

The Nerve of n Porch Climber.

tI think one Of the most remarkable
exhibitions of nerve on the part of a
burglar was shown by one who was
captured in Philadelphia not very
long ago said ]. III. IverS to st.
Louis reporter. THE fellow was what
is known as a 'pOrch-climber,' and
one evening about eight o'clock he
gained acesS to the sleepin g apart
ments of a house ilp one of the best
portions of the city. While engaged
in ransacking the room he heard some
one coming up the stairs, and not hav
ing time to escape he sought safety
under the bed. The door opened and
the lady of the house entered, and,
after busying herself about the room
for few minutes, picked up book
and commenced to read. The bed
under which the fellow was concealed
was very low one, and his cramped
position was anything but comfort
able. He did not dare to move for
fear of betraying himself, but kept
hoping she would leave the room for
some reason or other and give him a
chance to escape.
She stayed on, however, and about
ten o'clock was Joined by her husband.
After a few minutes conversation
they retired to the very bed under
which the burglar lay concealed. In
trying to shift his position a little the
fellow under the bed made a slight
noise. which Immediately alarmed the
woman. Calling her husband, she
said: Tom, there is some one under
the bed Nonsense he said; you
are dreaming I tell you 1 heard
some one hhe replied. 1T is only the
dog he said. Here, I will prove it
to you,' and with that he threw his
arm over the edge and, swapping his
fingers, called as he would to, a dog.
The fellow under the bed took in the
situation in an instant, and realizing
that he must act promptly, actually
reached out his head to where the
hand hung and licked the fingers with
his tongue, as the dog might do The
act was performed so naturally that
the man in bed was completely deceiv-
ed, and, after saying to his wife, I
told you so.' and telling her to go to
sleep, he turned over and was soon
lost in slumber. After waiting until
convinced they were sound asleep, the
burglar crawled out from under the
bed. and, taking everything of value
he could find in the room, made his es-
cape. st Louis Post-Despatch.

MEXICAN CAVES AND MUMMlES.
Underground Relics of a Former Civiliza-
ton in chihuahua.


Moses Thatcher, the millionaire
apostle and financier Of the Mormon
church, whose home is in Logan, Utah,
is residing for time at 900 Van Ness
avenue. Mr.. Thatcher has been an
apostle of the Mormon church since
1879, and his life work has been de-
voted to the building up of the kingdom
of the latter days. He, has spent many
years in exploring the Wilds and
beauty lands Of Mexico.
In the State Of Chihuahua the Sierra
Madre Mountains, Mr.. Thatcher states,
held for him the greatest attractions.
West Of the Casas Grandes Valley,
through which flows the Piedras Yer
deS, lovely river which connects
with the San Miguel in the upper part
of the valley and forms the Casas
Grandes River, there is an exceedingly
beautiful eXpanse of country. 1t is
interspersed with mountains of moder-
ate size, branch Of the Sierra Madre
range, and not far from where, the
celebrated Sabinal mines are located
on the Corralitos ranch, one Of the
richest regions, pregnant with gold
and silver ore, awaiting the advent Of
the prospector and the iron horse.
Many places l passed through"
said the apostle, strongly reminded
me of the placer ground in the Sierra
Nevada mountains, at the head Of the
American River. The great similarity
of the soil is most pronounced, and all
the indications are almost identical.
1.-The Mormon colony was the first
to settle in the Sierra Madre range in
this region. They camped right on the
trail of the dreaded Apaches, and
named one of their settlements Pache-
co, after the noted General, who was
Secretary of War. The MeXicans were
astounded at the boldness of these
pioneers, and considered annihilation
inevitable.
I'm a radius of 100 miles there is
enough masonry to build two cities
the size of San Francisco, and this
tells the tale of great civilization
that once fiourished there. l purchas-
ed a sitio, or a little over 1000 acres
Of land, some time ago. and subse
quently bought up an adjoining tract
Of $4,000 acres. On part of this land
| discovered about half a dozen caves.
The entrances were walled up with
cement two and one-half feet thick,
with only postholes and narrow aper-
ture left sufficiently wide to allow one
person to enter These caves We're
provided with ollas, in which water
and provisions were stored, and were
formed Of long Sacaton grass, mixed
with cement, and were usually about
twelve feet high and eight or nine
feet in width. One was i'll perfect
preservation.
The caves were divided into apart
ments, and one of them contained
seventeen rooms. Upon the walls are
still fresh character writings of the
ancient inhabitants, cf the same class
as described in the Mexican AntiGui-
ties by Lord Kingsbury. The caves
on the land referred to will accom-
modate fully 1000 persons, and Il ce!e-
brated Belgian scientist not long ago
found more relics in them than he
had in search Of $50 miles else

Belgian Marriage Certificates.

In Belgian it is the custom to give Ger
tificates of marriages in the form of
little books with paper covers. These
books, which are often produced in
course OF law proceedings, and are
taken in evidence, are apt to become
dirty and dog's-eard. The burgomas-
ter of Brussels has, therefore. hit upon
new plan. Henceforth a charge will
be made for the books, which will be
neatly bound in morocco and gilt
edged. They will be something more
than a mere certificate A summary
of Belgian law on the married state
is given in them for the use of young
couples and among a mass of other
miscellaneous information are direc-
tions for the feeding and care of in
fantS. There are also places for en-
tering the names and birthdays of the
children of the marriage. the author
tiles considerably affording space for
twelve such entries. To poor persons
the books will be issued free of charge

HE FOUGHT WITH POE.
Congressman Engiish's Quarrel With the
Author of ssThe Raven"

Congressman Engiishis > QuaTrei WIN Lie
Author of ssThe Raven.''
One of the Oldest men in the House
of REPRESENTATIVES is DR.. Thomas
Dunn English, who represents the
sixth Tor Essex county, district of
New Jersey. and who will be 70 years
of age June %, 1894. Long before he
ever dreamed of becoming Congress
man English, the gentleman from New
Jersey acquired distinction as the au-
thor of Ben Bolt" In addition to his
fame as a poet Mr.. English enjoyed
the notoriety of having been at one
time the chosen friend and boon COM
paniOn of Edgar Allen Poe, author of
THE Raven" and other poems. How
this friendship terminated can best be
described in the language of Mr.. Eng
liSh.
Up TO 1S4j," said the New Jersey
statesman, Poe and myself were well
nigh inseparabe. both at Philadelphia
and New York, where We afterward
removed While in the latter city Poe
became involved in a controversy with
a brother of Mrs Ellet, a noted novel
ist half a century ago, relative to GER
tain letters which Poe declared the
lady had written to him. The dispute
became very animated, and one day
while | was discussing certain matters
with a caller Poe burst into the room
where we We're talking and demanded
the loan of my pistol. When | asked
him what be wanted it for his reply
was that he intended to shoot the
brother of the woman whom he had
illuminated. This was my opportun-
ity and I did not neglect it. In the
Dlainest language possible | told Poe
that he was acting the part Of a black
guard, and slandering and endeavor-
ing to compromise an honest woman.
and he knew it. Besides said /.
YOU know, Poe, that you have no let
tiers from Mrs. Elet as we'll as | do
"Blurting out that he did not pro-
pose to be talked to in such manner
before a stranger, Poe reiterated that
he had very damaging letters from the
lady in question. Then, in heavens
name. why don't you produce them?
was my query This did not seem to
be at all pleasant to the author Of
The Raven. and he volunteered the
information that | was poking my
nose into his business too much. One
word led to another, and from words
we came to blows, my right fist orna-
menting Poes right eye in the most
approved fashion. A series Of punches
followed, and before the scrimmage
ended / had forced my unwelcome
visitor down to the floor, and, taking
him by both ears, and sides of his
face, / proceeded to ram his face Wig
orously against the floor of my apart
ment This encounter stirred UP all
the malevolence in Poe's nature; and
when his disfigured countenance was
commented upon a few minutes later
he eyaded an explanation by saying
that he had run against a working
man who was carelessly carrying d
piece of lumber on his shoulder. Ever
afterward he could not say things too
mean about me, and this fisticuff end
ed all friendly relations between us up
to tie day Of his death. New York
Tribune.
