REV. Or. TALMAeE'S FIRST SERMON
AS A WASHINGTON PASTOR.

preached Before a Vast Multitnde-An
Eloquent and Picturesque Discourse on
GAN Heaven Looking On"-Paul Stand
ing In the Amphitheater.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.-Those who know
that no church in this or foreign countries
has been able to hold the audiences that
have assembled when It was announced
that DR.. Talmage would preach will not
be surprised that vast multitudes attempt
ed in vain to hear his first sermon as pas
tor IN Washington. The subject of his
opening sermon at tho national capital
was, can heaven looking on" the text
selected being the famous passage from
Hebrews xii, /, Seeing we also are COM
passed about with so great a cloud Of wit
nesses.
J In this my opening sermon In the ma
tional capital 1 give you heartiost Chris
titan salutation. bethink myself of the
privilege Of standing in this historic church
so long presided over by ono Of the most
remarkable men of the century. There are
plenty Of good ministers besides DR.. sun
derland, but 1 do not know Of any man
except himself with enough brain to have
stood successfully and triumphantly 43
years in this conspicuous pulpit. Long
distant be tho year when that gospel chief
tain shall put down the silver trumpet
with which he has marshaled the hosts Of
Israel or sheatho the sword with which he
has struck such mighty blows for God and
righteousness. i come to you with the same
gospel that he has preached and to join
you in all kinds Of work for making the
world better, and 1 hope to see you all in
your homes and have you all come and see
me, but don't all come at once, and with
out any preliminary discourses as to what 1
propose to do 1 begin here and now to cheer
you with the thought that all heaven is
looking on. Seeing we
also are compassed about with so great a

W mere LAuA 9NOO1a
Crossing tho Alps by the Mont Cents
pass, or through the Mont Cents tunnel,
you arc IN few hours set down at Verona,
Italy, and in few minutes begin exam
lining one of the grandest ruins Of the
world-the amphitheater. The whole
building sweeps around you in circle.
You stand in tho arena where tho combat
was once fought or the race run, and on
all sides tho seats rise tier above tier, I'M
til you count 40 elevations, or galleries, rs
shall soc fit to call them, in which sat
the senators, the kings and the 90, 600 OK
cited spectators. At tho sides Of the arena
and under the galleries are the cages in
which the lions and tigers are kept with
out food until, frcnzied with hunger and
thirst, they arc let out upon some poor VIC
tim, who, with his sword and alone, IS
condemned to meet them. I think that
Paul himself once stood in such place, and
that it was not only hguratively but lit6r
ally, that no had 'fought with beasts at
Ephesus."
The gala day has come. From all the
world the people are pouring into Verona.
Men, women and children, orators and
senators, great mon and small, thousands

breathlessly watching. hear the door at
the side Of the arena creak open. Out
plunges the half starved lion, his tongue
athirst for blood, and, with a roar that
brings all the galleries to their feet he
PUSHES against the sword of the cOmbatant.
Do you know how strong a stroke a man
will strike when his life depends upon the
first thrust of his blade? Tho wild beast,
lame and bleeding sinks back toward the
side Of the arena; then, rallying his vast
ing strength, he comes up with flercer eye
and moro terrible roar than ever, only to
be driven back with fatal wound, while
the combatant comes in with stroke after
stroke, until the monster is dead at his
feet, and the 20, 600 people clap their hands
and utter shout that makes the city

AT HIS wIFE's GRAVE.
For Fifteen Years IL Devoted Hus-
band Has Lived in a Cemetery.

For Fifteen Years Devoted Hus-
band Has Lived in a Cemetery.
From the St. Louis Globe Democrat.
'If you die. 1 will sleep by the side Of
your grave all the rest Of my life" This
remarkable VOW was made fifteen years ago
to his sick wife by Edwin L. Morrison, at
that time chief clerk Of the Pennsylvania
freight department, and protege Of Ralph
Peters, the superintendent of the Miami
division of the Pennsylvania road For
twelve days after his wife's death Nor
rison's grief was too great to allow him to
fulfill his vow. He lived at Camp Denison,
and when the stupor left him he built a
rude hut at the side of his wife's grave
in the MEANWHILE cemetery. To the sexton,
who protested at first Morrison said that
he was receiving s35 month to watch the
grave. Time went by. and the man still
sat In his hut gazing at the grave At last
the keeper of the cemetery learned his
story. Now Edwin L. Morrison, once the
handsome railroad man. is old, wrinkled
and haggard, but still sits In his rude hut
by the side of the grave of the woman he
loved SO well. For fifteen years he has
kept up this solemn vigil.
Morrisons history is full of tender pathos

iarly known by every child in the village.

ports of the Lombardo-Venetian kingdom

Of my commission if 1 had reminded him
Of them.
! faltered a moment in my longing to ad-
dress him, and then I decided that every
one who forebore to speak needlessly to
him, or to shake his hand, did him kind
ness: and I wish I could be as sure of the
wisdom Of all my past Behavior as ] am
Of that piece Of it. He walked up to the
water cooler that stood In the corner, and
drew himself a full goblet from 1t. which
he poured down his throat with a backward
tilt OF his head. and then went YEARLY
within doors. The whole affair, so simple
has always remained one Of a certain
pathos in my memory, and would rather
have seen Lincoln in that unconscious mo-
ment than on some stateler occasion.

Fare for the Mummy.

From the New York Tribune.
The Rev. DR.. Sprecher Of Cleveland re-
calls a story told of Morgan, the Egyptian
explorer. He once discovered a mummy
of one of the Pharaohs. When he got it to
the railway station he refused to put 1t in
the luggage van. This the officials did not
greatly mind, but they compelled the dis
coverer to take f1rst-class ticket for
Pharaoh as we'll as one for himself. On
reaching Cairo there was fresh trouble
with the "octroi" officials.
What have you got there?" Morgan was
asked.
"A mummy" was the reply.
"Ah, You can't get that through without
paying"
But" urged Pharaoh's guardian. mum
mics surely don't pay 'octror duty?"
Don't they?' replied the official; 1--WE
will see what the register says"
Here the entire staff consulted the reg
lister, but, strangely enough, the article In
question had been overlooked by the ad-
ministration

And SO POOR Pharaoh was compelled to
make his solemn entry into Cairo under the
degrading category Of dried fish.

An Art Criticism.

From the Detroit Free Press.
The artist had some pictures on exhibit
ton in a dealers gallery, which was such
a cramped up little place that the artist
complained about 1t, but as 1t was all that
could be had he was compelled to endure it.
The day after the first day of exhibition
the artist was talking to the dealer.
II heard a good deal Of adverse criti-
cism on your pictures yesterday said the
dealer.
What did they say?" inquired the artist.
'They said the pictures were no good
"Of course" replied the artist angrily.
How could they be In little cubby hole
like this? What the pictures need is the
proper distance"
II guess you're right admitted the
dealer smiling. Il heard one man say,
who was backed up against the wall, that
If he could get about four miles and half
farther away he believed the pictures
would be right satisfactory"

Falling or in Sugar Imports.

Worthington c. Ford, chief of the bureau
of statistics, has returns on the imports of
sugar at six of the leading ports Of the
United States receiving that article. The
returns from San Francisco are not yet in,
but they will not materially modify the
question of duties nearly all sugar
coming through San Francisco is of Ha-
waiian origin, and therefore entered free
of duty. The six ports give a total import
of $50. 567 ,945 pounds, valued at $685., 055.
The importation is, therefore. much less
than in the month of May, and is much less
In quantity than the imports made in June,
1894, and only about one-haf in value.
