FLORIDA’S MKTROPOLIS. Y'ouni: Seligman Wounded by a Pistol in ilia Own Hands. Jacksonville, Fla., March 20.—Re ports gained currency here to-day that young Washington Seligman, son of the rich New York banker, had attempted to commit suicide at the San Marco Hotel, at St. Augustine, last night. A dispatch to-night from bt. Augustine says the alfair was entirely accidental. Young Seiig man was handling a pistol in his room at the hotel, when it was discharged, the ball striking him in the left temple and glancing back across tbe bead, cutting an ugly scalp wound, but one not at all dan gerous. Senator Sherman ami the Senatorial party arrived hero this morning on their return from Havana.

Tampa, Fla., March 20.—Having seen a copy of the proceedings of the Central Labor Union of New York as published in the World and Herald of March 14, in which the position is taken that the no tion of the citizens’ committee in request ing Ramon Rubirta and other Cubans to leave Tampa was because of their con nection with labor organizations, we de sire as official representatives of tbe Knights of Labor to positively deny such assertion, and to emphatically stale tbnt the action of the committee had no bearing, either directly or indirectly, toward any labor organization or any laboring man in our community.

The Texas Legislature Lodges a Delimit Reporter in Jail, Austin, Tkx., Alarob 20. — About two weeks ago the lower house of the Legis lature, by a vote expelled from the floor H. S. Canfield, assistant editor and re porter for tue San Antonio Daily Express, because of continued caustic criticism of the proceedings ot the House. Yesterday Canfield caused the arrest of speaker Pendleton, alleging that he unlawfully prevented him from entering the lobby of the House. The Speaker was taken be fore -Justice Fritz Fegner to answer the charge. When the House learned that the Speaker had been arrested great in dignation and excitement prevailed. BOTH ARRKSTED. A Speaker pro tern, was immediately elected, and a resolution was adopted di recting tho Sergeant-at-Arms forthwith to ormg Canfield and Justice Kogner before the barot the House to answer for con tempt in forcibly detaining its presiding officer. The Sergeant-at-Arms with a corps of assistants visited the Justice’s Court in haste, interrupted the proceed ings. and brought Justice F’egner and Canfield before tbe bar. The House held a night session to discuss resolutions for the punishment of L antield and the Jus tice. Exciting scenes ensued. CANFIELD DEFIANT. Catifieid was permitted to make a state ment. He declared that he believed he bad right of access to the press lobby, aud right to institute proceedings to test his constitutional right. He defied the House by closing with tbe statement tnat lie had nothing to regret, whereupon, by a vote of 59 to 21, the House adopted a resolution committing Canfield to the county jail for forty-eight hours. Justice Ft-gner wasdisobarged afterapoio gizing. The Sergeant-at-Arms took Can field to the jail, but returned at 10 o’clock at night and reported to tho House that tlie Sheriff refused to receive tbe prisoner without a warrant properly issued by the Speaker. Tbe House thereupon author ized the Speaker to issue a warrant, and Canfield spent the night in jail. HE ARCHING BUFFALO’S RUINS. No Jtodics Found —Little Jennie Mann Dies of Her Injuries.

Rome, March 20.—Bishop Keane, of Richmond, preached a magnificent ser mon this morning in the Irish Francis can oburcb of St. Isidore on the subject ol St. Patrick and the lrlsu nation, com paring the early gioile-. of Christian ira latd to tho traasttguration of Christ 011 the Mount and his after persecution and suffering on thejouruey to Calvary. He drew a powerful picture ol Ireland’s con dition as the light and teacher of the na tions of Europe, her children reaching even to the gates ol Roma itself. He described the destruction of Ireland’s church, the closing of her schools, and the oppression of her people. From this treading of the wiue press uncounted blessings were to How to the world. Once the instructress of nations Ireland was now held up to scorn and mockery as foolish and ignorant. As Christ was des pised and the most abject of men, a man of sorrows and acquainted with infirmity, so was Ireland. God permitted the mightiest empire iu the world, the Roman, to cruelty His Son, and so was Ireland cruoitk-d by the mightiest, empire that has existed since the days of Augus tus. From her crueitication her love baa gone to tho ends of the earth to plant the cross ol Christ, and has built up his church everywhere. Jesus lay three days In the tomb, which was sealed with the seal of Cresar and the synagogue. Woen Easter came he arose in 111s glory. Ireland’s Eastar is at hand, alter three centuries of entombment. Tue first brightness was the Catholic importation, and it has since been slowly but steadily expanding. Life has been returning to that mangled form swathed in grave clothes. Aireadv the trumpet ol the Lord is proclaiming: "ft is Easter morn.” Voices deny it, declaring ‘*Thsre is no resurrection.” "She has not risen.” “There is no lile in her.” “They have seolen her from the tomb while we slept.” But although the same mystery ol the cross prevails. He who has led ner to labor and the tomb will just as surely lead her to the new light. God is just to the nations. The hour of retribution must come. Erin’sorown of reward will be one of joy. God forbid she should ever have tbe ambition to be anything but what God has destined her to be. We ask for her liberty, not the lalse liberty which mis taken ones of other nations ask, where they complain of the law, seeking anar chy and license, hut freedom for impar tial justice, for the growth lor vvhioo God has fitted her, lor the peaci that she has sought; not the grim peace 0! blood with whica nations delude them selves, but the peace of the Lord, like that majestic forgiveness that was granted even to the perfidious Jerusalem. VVeass prosperity, not the mock pros perity of hard-hearted wealth hovering over festering want, but lire, clotaing against nakedness, comiort instead of the hard-grinding, debasing suffering and the persecution of past centuries.” Tue whole sermon was a grand trium phal panegyric. The church was crowded with Irish and Americau residents and visitors, including many Protestaits. All were deeply impressed. THE EMPEROR'S BIRTH DA if. Thousands of People Unite in 1)&. moustrations of Loyalty. Berlin, March 20. —Telegrams con gratulating Emperor William are corning irom all the German colonies.

NO CARE FOR MEN’S SOUIS TALMAGK TAKES A LESSON FROM THE CKY OF DAVID. Physical SutTcring Never Without a Host of Sympathizers—Trill** Which Have Swung Men Into the Ktuijrtomof (led—Heaven, Karth ami Hell Three Combatants Who Aro Fighting for Every Soul. Kansas City, Mo., March 20. —The Rov. T. DeWitt Talmage, 1). I)., preached in the Second Presbyterian church of this place this morning. He arrived here yes terday from Bt. Louis, and is stopping over Sunday on his way to Topeka, Kan. After expounding an appropriate chapter he gave out the hymn beginning: ‘•.Teen, lover ot my soul. I.et me to thy bosom fly.” His subject was “Cheer for the Dis heartened,” and his text, Psalm exlii., 4: “No man cured for my soul.” Dr. Tal mage said: Huvld, the rubicund lad, bad become the battle-worn warrior. Three thousand armed men In pursuit of min, he had hidden In the cave of JSugedi, near the coast qf the Dead ■sea. Utterly lagged oat with the pursuit, ns you have often been worn out with tho triu's of life, lie sal down aud cried out: ‘‘No man cared for my Son! If you should fail through a hatchway, or slip from a scutfoiding, or drop through a skylight, there would he hundreds of people who would come around am! pick up your body aud carry it to the home or to the hos pital. 1 saw a great crowd of people in the street, and I asked: “What is the matter?” and I found out that a poor laboring man had fallen under sunstroke, and all our eyes wore tilled with tears at the thought of his dis tracted wife itud bis desolated home. We are all sympathetic with physical disaster, hut how little sympathy for spiritual woes! There are men in this house who have corns to mid-life who have never vet been once per-onally accosted about their eternal welfare. A great sermon dropped into an audience of hundreds of thousand* will do its work; but if this world is ever to he brought to God it will be through little sermons preached to private Christians, to an audience of one. The sister’s letter post marked at the village—the word uttered in your hearing, half of smiles and half of tear —the religious postscript to a business letter —the card left at tbe door when you had some kind of trouble —the anxious look of someone acruss a church aisle while an earnest sermon was being preached, swung you into the kingdom of God. But there are hundreds of people in this house who will take the word that David med iu the past tense, aDd em ploy it 111 the present tense, aud cry out: “No man cares for my soul.” You leel as you go out day by uay in the tug tnd jostle of life that it is every man for himself. You can en dure the pressure of commercial affairs, ami would consider it almost impertinent for any one to ask srou5 r ou whether you are making or losing money. But there havo been times when you would have drawn your check lor 1 housantls of dollars if someone would only help your soul out of its perpiexitias. There are questions about yourirgher destiny thal ache, and distract, aud agonize yOn at times. Get no ous suppose that because you are busy all day with hardware, or ary goods, or gro ceries. or grain, that your thoughts are no longer than your yard-stick, and stop at the brass-headed nails of the store counter. When you speak once about religious things you think five thousand times. They call you a Yvorldling. You are not a world ling. Of course you are industriou.- an l keep busy, but you bare had your eyes openod to the realities of the next world. You are not a fool. You know better than any one can tell you that a few sears at most will wind tip your earthly engagements, and that you will tako residence iu a distant sphere where a 1 your business adroitness would be a superfluity. You somotimes think till your head aches about great roligious subjects. You go down tho street with your eyes fixed on the pave ment, oblivious of thu passing multitudes, vour thought* gone on eternal expedition. You wonder if the Bible is true; how much of it is literal and how much is figurative; if Christ be God; if there is anything like reirl butlon; If you are immortal; if a resurrection will ever take place; what the occupation ol your departed kindred is; what you will he ten thousand years from now. With a cultured placidity of countenance you are on lire with agitations of soul. Oh, this solitary anxiety of your whole lifetime! You have sold goods to or bought them from Christian people for ten years and they havenever whi- nered one worn of spirit ual counsel. You ha\*c passed up ami down the aisles of ehurcheß with men Yvho knew that you had no hope of heaven, and talked about the weather, and about your physical health, and about everything but that con cerning which you most wanted to bear them speak, namely, your everlasting spirit. Times without number you havo felt in your heart if you have not uttered it with your iips: “No man cares for ntv soul.” There have been time* when you were espe cial iy tillable on the great subject of religion. It was so. for Instance, alter you had lost your property. You bad a great many letters blowing you up for bemg unfortunate. You showed that there bad been a concatenation of circumstances, and that your insolvency was no fanltof yours. Yourcreditors talked to you as though they would have a hundri 4 cents on a dollar or your Rfe. Protest after protest tumbled in ou your desk. Men who used to take your hand with both ot theirs and shake it violently, now pass you ou the ftreet wilh an almost imperceptible nod. After six or eight hours of scalding business anxiety you go home, anil you shut tbe floor, an t throw yourself on the 6ofa. and you feel in a state of despair. You wish that some one would come in and break up the gloom. Everything scent* to be against you. Tile bank" against you. Your creditors again-t you. Your friend*, suddenly become critical, against you. All tho past against yon. All the future aga 11st you. You make reproach ful outcry: "No man cares for my soul.” There was another occasion when all the doors of your heart swung open for sacred In fluences. A bright light went oflt in your househo <l. Within three or four <l"vs there were eomeressed hickncs*, death, obsequies. You wore so lonely that a hundred people coming into the house did not break up th solitariness. You were almost killed with the domestic calamity. A few formal, per functory words of consolation were uttered ontbestair before you went to the grave; but vou wanted someone to come and talk over tho w hoie matter, ami recite the allevia tions, and decipher tho lessons of the dark bereavement. No one came. Many a time you could not sleep until 2 or 3 o’clock In the morning, ami then yourtluep was a troubled ,1 ream In which was re-enacted all the scene of sickness, and purling, aud dissolution. Oh, what day* and night* ihcywere! No man seemed to ' are for yotirsoul. To ere was another occasion when yor heart wa- very susceptible. There was a great awakening. There were hundreds of people who pressed into the kingdom of God; a me of them acquaintance, some business associates, jes, perhaps somo members of your own family wore baptized by Rpriukllng or immersion. < hristlen people thought of you an l they called at vour store, but you were out on business. They stopped at your house; you had gone around to spend the evening. They sent a kindly message to you; somehow bv accident you did not get It. The life-boat of’the Gospel swept through the surf Had every body seemed to get in but vou. Everything teemed to escape you. One touch of personal si mouthy would have pushed you Into the kingdom of God. When ou commu nion dny your friends went in aud your sous and daughters wont Into the church you hur led your face In your Handkerchief aud sobbed; “Why am I left out? Kvorylody seems to get saved but me. No man cares . . it for my soul.” Ui Mikiin lo a revelation 1 havetomaiio. It is a stnrtl'nx Hlalcmont. It will o surprise you licit I must prove It ai I go u. Instead of ll>'. total Iniltfferencs all about you, in re gard to vour soul, 1 have to tell ym that heriVen, earth, and h3ll are after vour im morlal spirit. Earth to cheat It. Ilell to de stroy It. Heaven 10 redeem it. Allhough you may be a stranxer to tlie Christian* In this bouse, their fanes would glow and tbotr heart*, would bound if they taw >Oll make use step heavenward. 80 Intricate and tar reaching Is this wsbuf sympathy thal 1 could by one word rouse a great many prayers in your behalf. No one cares for your soul 1 Why, one signal of distress on your part would thrill this audience with holy excitement. If a boat in any harbor should got in distress, from the men of war, and from the sloop, and from the steamers, the flyiug paddles would pull to the rescue. And It now, you would lift one signal of distress, all these voyagers of eternity would bear down towar I you and bring you relief. But no. >ou arc like a ship on fire at sea. They keep the hatches down, and the captain is frenzied, and ho gives orders that no one bail tho passing ships. lie says: “1 shall either land this vessel iu Hamburg or on iho bottom of the ocean, and 1 don't care which.” Yonder is a ship of the White Star Hue passing. Youdor one of the National line. Yonder one of the Ctinitrd line. Yonder one of tho Inman line. But they know not there is any calamity bap peningon that one vessel. Oh, if the captain would only put Ills trumpet to his lip aud cry out: “Lower your boats! Bear down this way! We are burning up! Fire! Fire!” No; no. No signal is given. If that vessel perishes, having hailed no one, whose fault will it be? Will it be the fault of tho ship that hid Its calamity, or will it be the fault of the vessels that, passing on the high seas, would have been glad to furnish relief if it had been on’y asked? In other words, tny brother, if you miss heaven it will he your own fault,’ No one care for your so.il 1 Why in all the ages there have been men whose entire busi ness was soul-saving. In this work, Munson went down under ttio knives of tho cannibals whom he had come to save, nnd Robert Mc- Cbeyno preached him-eif to death by thirty years ot age, and John Banyan was thrown into dungeon tu Bedfordshire, and Jchuiii Ash matt endured all the malarias of the African jungle; and there are hundreds and thousands of Christian men and women now who arc praying, tolling, preaching, living, dying to save souls. Nooneoare for your soul! Have you heard how Christ feeis about it? I know it was only live or six miles from Bethlehem to Calvary —the birthplace and the death-place of Che’*!—but who can tell how many miles it was from the throne to the manger? How many miles down, how many miles bait, again? The place of His departure was the focus of all splendor and pomp. All tho thrones l'aciug His throne. Ilis mime the chorus in every song and the inscription on every banner. His landing-place u. cattle pen. malodorous with unwashed brutes, and dogs growling in and out. of the stable. Born of a weary mother who lmd journeyed eighty miles in severe un health that she might find the right place for tho Lord’s nativity—born, not as other princes, under the flash of a chandelier, but under a lantern swung by a rope to Lite roof of the barn. In that place Christ started to save you. Your name, vour face, your line, your eternity, in Christ’s mind. Sometimes traveling on mule’s hack to escape old Her od’* massacre, sometimes attempting uer vous sleep on the chilly hillside, sometimes earning his breakfast by tbe carpentry of a plow. In Quarantania the stones of the held, by the.r shape and color, looking like the loaves of bread, tantalizing bis hunger. Yet all the time keeping on after you. With drenched coat treading the surf of Genessa ret. Howled after by a bloodthirsty mob. Denounced as a drunkard.

By dolorous arithmetic add up tile stable, the wintry tempest, the midnight dampness, the abstinence of forty day* from food, the bruiai Sanhedrim, the heights of Golgotha, across which a!i tbe hatreds of earth, and all the furies of hell charged witti their bayonet*, and then dare to say again that uo one cares for your soul. A young man might as well go off from home and give his lather and mother no intimation as to where he has gone, and, crossing tlie seas, sitting down in some foreign country, cold. si< k, and huugry, snd lonely, saying: “Sly father and mother don’t caro anything about me.” Do not care anything about him! Why. that father’s hair has turned gray since his son went off. Ho has written to all the Consuls 111 the loreign ports, asking about that son. Does not the mother *are anything about him ? He has broken ber heart She haR never smiled since he weut away. All day long, ana almost all night, she kcepsask ing: “ Where Is be ? Where can he he ?” lie is the first thought in her prayer and the lust thought in her prayer—tne first thought in the morning and the last at night. Rbe says: “Oh God, bring back tny boy 1 I must see him again before I die. Where is ne? I must see him again before I die.” Oh, do not his father and mother earn for him ? You go away from your heavenly father, and you think he does uot care for you because ,ou will not even read tbe letters by which he invites you to come hack, while all heaven is waiting, and waiting and waiting for you to return. A young man said to hm father: “I am going off; I will write to you at the end of seven vetus und toll you where I am.” Many years have passed aiong since that con went away, aud for years the father lias been going to the depot 111 the Tillage, on the arrival of every tram, aud when he hears the whistle tn the distance lie is thrilled with excitement, and he waits until ail thupassen gers have come out, and theu he wai-s until the traiu has gone clear our. of sight again, and then he goes home, hastening hack to the next train; aud he will lie at every train un til ilia l son comes hack, unless tne son watts until the father he dead.

Oh. my brother! do not take tile sentiment of tny text as your senti ment. We do care for your soul One Sab bath night years ago. in my church in Brook lyn, a young man appeared al tne end of ihe platform, and he said to me: “f have Jur.t dome off the sea.” I said: “When did you arrive?” said he: “I cuma into port tins afternoon. Iwa 111 a great ‘blow’ off Cape Hatteras this laat week and I thought that I might as woli go to heaven as to hell. I thought the ship would sink, but. sir, 1 never very seriously iiiougat about my soul until to-night ” i -aid 1001:11: “Do you ftjUliul Christ is able and willing to save "Oh, yes,” he replied, "I do ” "H eli,” 1 said, “now aro vou willing to come and be saved by Him?” “Jam,” he saul, “Well, win you now. In the prayer we are about to offer, give yourseil'to God lor time and eternity?” “I will,’ he said. Then we knelt in prayer and after wo got through praying, he told me that, the great transformation had takeu pitted, i coiud not doubt it. He is on the sea now. tdo not know what other port he may gain or lose, but 1 think he will g*iu the harbor of Heaven. “Starof peace, beam o’er tho billow, Bless tlie soul ihat icgiis for Time ; Bless the sailor’s lonely pillow, Fur, far at sea.” It wss sudden conversion wilh lum that night.

It is a dread ful tiling for a man just 10 plant himself in the wav of life, thon keep bock his children, keep kick his companion iu life, keen hack his ouslucsspartners—refuse logointo heaven himself, ana refuse to let others go tn. A young man, at the close of a religious service was asked to decide the matter of In* soul’s salvation. He said: “I will not do It 10-nlght." Well, tlie Christian man kept talking with him, snd he said: “1 Insist that to-night yon elthar t*ke God or reject Him.” "W ell,” said thu young man, ‘‘lf you nut It that way. 1 will rsiect Him.

That night his Christian mother beard tne riderless horse plunging about the barn, amt mistrusting something terrible was the matter, she went out an l came to the place where her sou lay. aud she cried out: “Oh, Henry! dead and not a Christian.

Tributes to tlie Sleeping Leader ol'ilie American Pulpit. New York, March 20.—Among other utterances by Rev. Robert (Jotlyer in tho course o!' his sermon to-day upon Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, at the church of the Messiah, were these: “Since tuo death of Luther, 210 years ago, the death ot uo man iu sacred cilice tias so touched the hearts of nations. Though ho was 73 years of age, no one looked noon biui as old. He was tbe groat leader of tho American pulpit, and no 0110 in this age, savo the grand old man 111 Euglaod, had so muon enthusiasm, courage aud ability for the work be had to do. His theology was as broad as the world Itsctf. it was not theology bound with iron band ribs as they would bind at. Brtnoeton and Andover—that te all well enough for those who love such bondage—because Beecher was not, bound with bonds made by man, and because of ms noble work for humanity all these years. 1 thank God that ho was not a systematic theolo gian, hut just the groat free reasoncr, we knew bun to be. He needed the whole republic first for his growth, and then the whole planet lor his ripening. He was not ot flower pot growth. He was a plant, in the great woods. As well might they seek to con fine Niagara in a flower pot. Ho was not the slavo of system, but God’s tree man. Greenwood is now as sacred as Ml. Ver non.” riGTAILEiD SPORTS.

NEW “FaDa” oF FASHION. A Fachet Powder Worn Around tlie Wuisf, of 1 lie Dress. New York, March 19.—A decided In novation Is to Lave, between the dress waist and tbe lining, sachet powder; in tact, the whole waist oi tbe dress serves as one large sachet. While this may malic tbe dress a little heavier, and con sequently add to its warmth, it Is just what is needed for winter weather. Even ing dresses aro also treated in this way. Violet seems to be the favorite odor. The other day i attended a performance of opera a< the Metropolitan Opera House. ! noticed several young ladies took tiny silver boxes irom their pockets occa sionally tuul bent over them. Wbaldid they moat'? 1 thought they looked some, what like a diminutive snuffbox. Can it he possible that tbe habit of taking snuff is to be revived J And by our prottiest girls too; but tney were not taking snuff as they bent over tbeir pretty sllvev boxes. They were bontionnlers, and held either candy, sugared flag root or lovage. Girls ull like cunilios. snd a pretty re ceptacle for this luxury Is duly appreoi uted by tne dear girls that never enjoy any thine oTau entertainment where they can’t crunch candy. But these little bonbonulers ore very useful at times. Even belles occasionally eat onions or some other artiole of food with an excep tional odor, and caobous, or in case of a cold, troches, may be carried In these tiny silver receptacles. They also sorve as a novel and. uot too expensive gift to one another. Young ladles are wearing genuine scotch caps on tbeir beads, and they are notouly warm and attractive, but are proof against the high winds, which are tbe worst things for high bats. No one looks graoe>uT scurrying through tho street, after a hat that has been rudely torn from her bead. Tbe possibility of this Is u greater argument against high hr..* than all tbe raiiiog against their ob structing tbe view at tne theatres.
