OR.TALMAGE’S SERMON The Eminent Divine's Sunday Discourse. 8object: “Across the Continent’’—.Spiritual Thoughts Suggested While Viewing Beenes of Majesty and Grandeur Wrought b^the Hand of God. " Texts: “Streams in the desert."—Isaiah *xxy M 6. “He toucheth the hills and they ■moke."--Psalms civ., 32. My first text means irrigation. It means the waters of the Himalaya, or the Pyre nees, or the Sierra Nevadas poured through canals and aqueduct* for the fertilization oi Li v Vftll0 y 8 - H means the process by • *J” C “ th® last mile of American barrenness will bo made au apple orchard, or an orange ? ;rove, ora wheat field, or a cotton nlantu- Ion, or a vineyard—“stroams Ip the desert." My second text moans a volcano like Vesu- or Cotopaxi, or It moans the geysers of Yellowstone Park or of California. You seo a hill calm and still, und for ages im movable, but the Lord out of the heavens ptlts His finger on th»top of it, and from it rise thick and lfnpressive vapors: “He toucheth the hills aud they smoke!" Although my journey across the conti nent this summer was for the olghth time more nfid moro am I Impressed >llth the dlvlno hand in Its construction, and with Its greatness and grandeur, aud more and moro am I thrilled with the fact that It Is all to be Irrigated, glorified and Edenlzed. What a change from the time when Daniol Wobster on yonder Captolino Hill said to the American Senate In rogard to the centre ■of flits confluent, and to tho regions on the Paolrtc Const: "What do you want with this vast, worthless 'aroa, this region or savages and wild hdasts, of doserts and oaotus, of shifting snptls and prairie dogs? To what ns. conld we aver piit theee great doSerts or these gront mountains, Impene trable and covered with eternal enow? What can wo ever hope to do with the Western coast, rook-hound, oheerless and uninviting, and not a harbor on it? I will never vote ono cent from the ptihllo treasury ' to plaeo the Paclflo coast ono Inoh nearer Boston than it now Is." What n mistake tho groat statesman rando when he said that! All who have crossed tho continent realise that the States on the Paollle Ocean will have quite os grand opportunities as the tltatos on the Atlantlo, and all this realm from soa to sea to be ths Lord’s cul tivated poesesslon. Do you know what, In some respeots, Is the most remarkable thing between the Atloutlo and Pnoillo? It Is tho flguro of a cross on a mountain In Colorado. It Is called tho “Mount of tho Holy Cross." A horizontal orevloo filled with perpetual show, and a- perpendicular crevice (Hied with snow, but both the horizontal line and thor perpendloular line so marked, so bold, so slgDincent, so unmistakable, that all who pass In tho daytime within many miles are compelled to see It. There ore some figures, some oontoure, Homo moun tain pnpearnnocs that you gradually make out after your attention Is callod to them. Bon man's fuoo on the rooks In the Whlto Mountains. So a maiden’s form cut In th. granite of tho Adlrondaolcs. So a city In the moving elouds. Yet you have to look under the pointing of your friend or guide fqr sojno tlmo bolero you can see fee similarity, . Bat the first Instant you fflnuco nt this sldo of tho mountain in Colorndo, you ory Out: "Acrossl A oross!" Do you say that thlsgecdogtoal In scription lust happens so? Nol That cross on tlio Colorndo mountain Is not a human device, or an accident of nature, or the -freak of an earthquake. The hand of Ood out 'Jt there and set It up for the-nation to look at. Wlmthor set up In rook be fore the crose of wood wae ret up on the bluff hack of .Jerusalem, or set up at some time since that assassination, I believe the Creator meant It to suggest the most notable event in all tho history of this planet, and; Ho hung It thero over the . mart .of ruts continent' to Indicate that the only bopo for this nation Is in the Cross ou which our Immanuol died. The Olouds were vocal at our Saviour’s birth, the rooks rent ut His martyrdom, why not the walls of Colorado hear tho record of thn Cruclflalon? > {.‘supposed In my boyhood, from Its slzo on- tho map, that California was a few yards across, a rldgo of land on whloh ono must walk cautiously lest he hit Ills head against tho Sierra Novada on ono sldo, orsllpoff Into the Pnoillo waters on the other—California, tho thin slice of land, ns .

And thon all those new-born States of the Union, North and South Dakota, Washington, Montana, Idalio.nml Wyoming. . Eucli Stntu an otn- . pfrain size. ; s . - • ’ ' j r “But,” flays oil©, “in calculating the im mensity of our continental-acreage you must remember that vu»t roaches of our jiublio domain are uhoultlvated heaps of <lry sand, and the *Ba«l Lands’ of Montana nn,tl tho, G^eat American Desort." I am ''MUfryaujmentioned'that. Within twenty- five years thero will not be between the Atlantic and Pacific coasts a hundred miles bind not reclaimed either by farmers’ >ugh or minors' crowbar. By Irrigation, Ip waters of the rivers und the showers of riven, In what are called the raiuy sea pjn.-wHl be gathered into, great reservoirs, nd through aqueducts lot down where and rhen tho people want them. Utah is an •bjoct lesson. Some purts of that Terri tory wmeu were so barren that a spear of grass could not have been raised there In a •hunafetl years, are now rich as Lancaster County farms, of Pouiiflylvanlu, or West chester farms of New York, or Somerset County farms of New Jersey. Experiments have-proved that ton acres of ground Jrrl- f ;ated from waters gathered in great hydro- oglcal basins will produce as muon as fifty acres from the downpour of ruin ns seen In our regions. Wo hnvo our freshets and our droughts, but in those lands which nre to be scientifically irrigated there will be peitbpr frP»bet8,nor^8pughta. As you take a pitcher and get It full of water, and then sot it on a table and take a drink out of it when you uro thirsty and never think of drinking a Bltcherful all at once, so Mon tana, and Wyoiplng and Idaho will oatch thi rains of thoir rainy season and take up all the waters of their rivers In great f iito hers of reservoirs, and refresh their und whenever they will. But the most wonderful part of this Amer ican continent is the Yellowstone Park. My two visit there mado upon me an impres sion that will last forever. Go In by the Monetda route as we did this summer and save 250 miles of railroading, your stage coach taking you'through a dny of scenery as captivating and sublime as the Yellow stone Park itself. After all poetry has ex hausted Itself concerning Yellowstone Park, and all the Moruns and Biorstadts and the other enchanting artists have eorapletod their canvas, there will be other relations to make, and other stories of Its beauty and wruth, splendor and agony, to be recited. The Yellowstone Park Is tho geologist’s paradise. By cheapening of travel may It become the nation’s playground! In some portions ot i: there seems to be the anarchy of the elements. Fire and water, and the vapor born of that marriage, terrific. Gey ser cones or bills of crystul that have been over five' thousand years growingl In f daces the earth, throbbing, sobbing,groan- ng, quaking with aquoous paroxysm. At the expiration of every sixty-five minutes one of the geysers tossing its boiling water 135 feet in thn air and then descending into awiugiug rainbows. “He toucheth the bills and they smoke." Caverns of pictured walls lurge enougti for the sepulchre of the human tace. Formations of stone In shape nnd color of calla Illy, ot heliotrope, of ro9«, of cowslip, of sunflower and of gladiolus. Sulphur and arsenic and oxide of iron, with their delicate pencils, turning the bills into a Luxemburg, or n Vatican picture-gallery. The so-oalled Thanatopslt Geyser, exquisite as the Bryant poem it was named after, and Evangeline Geyser, love ly ns the Longfellow heroine It commemo rates. But alter you bnve wandered along the geyserite enchantment for days, and begin to feel that there can be nothing more of interest to seo, you suddenly come upon the peroration of all majesty and grandeur, the Grand Canon. It Is here that it seems to me—and I speak It with reverence—Je hovah seems to have surpassed Himself. It soems a groat gulch let down Into the etornltles. Masonry by an omnipotent trowel. Yellow! You newer saw yellow unless you saw It thore. Red! You nover saw red unless you saw It there. Violet! You never saw violet unless you saw It there. Triumphant banners of color. In a cathedral of basalt, Runriso and Sunset married by tho setting of rainbow ring. Gothic archos, Corinthian capitals, and Egyptian basilicas built beforo human architecture was born. Huge fortlfloatious of granite constructed beforo war forged Its first cannon. Gibraltars and Nebasto- pols that nevor can bo taken. Thrones on whloh no one but tho King of henvon and earth ever sat. Fount of waters at which the hills are baptized, while tho giant cliffs stand around as sponsors. For thousands of years before that soene was unveiled to human sight, the elements were busy, and tho geysers wore.hewing away with their hot chisel, and glaolers woro pounding with their cold hammers, and hurricanes were cleaving with their lightning strokes, and hailstones giving the finishing touches, aud after ail these forcos of nature had done thoir best, in our century the ourtaiu dropped, and the world had a new and di vinely insplrod reveUtlon, the Old Testa ment written on papyrus, the New Testa ment written on parohment, and this la*t Testament wrltton on the rooks. Btaudlng there in tho Grand Canon of tho Yellowstone Park for tho mod part we hold our peace, but after awhile It Unshod upon me with suoh power I could not hoip but say to my comrades: “What a hall tills would be for the last Judgment!" Hoe that mighty cascade with tho rainbows at tho foot of It? Those wators congealed aud transfixed with the agltutlons ot that day, what a place they would make for the shin ing feet of a Judgo of quick nnd dendl Aud those rainbows look now like the crowns to be cast at Ills feet. At tho bot tom of this great aunou Is a floor ou whloh the nations of the earth might stand, and all up and down these galleries of rook the nations of henvon might sit. And what reverberation of arohangeU’trumpet there would be through all those gorgos aud from these caverns nnd over all these heights. Why should net the greatest bf ull the days tho world shall ever seo close amid tho grandest scenery Omnipotence ever built? I have said those things about the mag nitude of the continent, and given you a fow specimens of some of Its wonders, to lot vou know»the comprehensiveness of Christ’s dominion when He takes posses sion of this contiuent. Besides that, the salvation of this ooutlnent means the sal vation of Asia, fpr we are only thirty-six miles from Asia at the northwest. Only Behring Strait separates us from Asia, and those will be spanned by a great bridge. Tho thirty-six miles of water between these two continents are not all deep sea, but have three islands, and there are also shoals which will allow piers of brldgos, and for the most of tho way the wator Is only about twenty fathoms doop. The Amorioo-Aslatlo bridge which will yet spun those straits will make America, Asia, Europe and Africa one continent. Bo. you see, America ovangqllzed, Asia will bo evangelized. Europo taking Asia from one sldo and Amorloa taking it from the other side. Your children will cross that bridge. America and Asia nnd Eu rope all one, what subtraction from tho pangs of seasicknessl and the prophecies In Revelation will bo fulfilled, “thero shall be no more sea." But do I mean literally that this American continent Is going to be all gospellzed? I do. Cbrlstonher Co lumbus, whou ho wont ashore from the Hunta Marla, nnd his second brother Alonzo, when he went ashore from tho I’lnta, and his third brother Vincent, when he wont ashore from thu Nina, took pos session of this country in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Ghost. Satan has no more right to this country than I have to your pocket-book. To hoar him talk on the roof of the temple, whore he propos9d to give Christ the kingdoms of this world and thn glory of them, you might suppose that Hutnn was a great cap italist or that ho was loaded up with real estate, when the old miscreant never owned An ucre or nu inch of ground on this planet. For that renson I protest ugainst something I heard and saw, this summer and other summers In Montana and Oregon And Wyoming and Idaho uuil Colorado and California. They have given devtUstlc names to many plaoes In tho West und Northwost. As soon as you get In Yellowstono Park or California you have pointed out to you places cursed with such names as “Tho Devil’s Slide," “The Devil’s Kitchen,” “The Devil’s Thumb,” “The Devil’s Pul- S lt ,*’ “The Devil’s Mush-Pot," “The evil’s Tea-Kettle," “The Devil’s Haw- Mlll," “The DovlI’s Machine-Shop," “The Devil’s Gute," aud so on. Now It Is very much needed tlmt geological survoyor or Congressional Committee or group of dis tinguished guests go through Montana and Wyoming aud California aud Colorado and give dlher names to theso places. All these regions beloug to the Lord, mid to a Christian nation; and nwny with suoh Plutonic nomenclature! But howlsthlscon tinent to be gospellzed? The pulpit and a Christian printing-press harnessed to gether will bo the mightiest team for tho first plough. No> by the powor of cold, formalistic theology; not by ecclesiastical technicalities. 1 am sick of them, and tho world Is sick of them. But It will be done by tho warm-hearted, sympathetic presen tation of the fuct that Christ is ready to pardon all our sins, and heal all our wounds, and save us both for this world uud the next. Let yourreliglon of glaciers crack off und fall Into tho Gulf Stream and get melted. Take all your creeds of ull denominations und drop out of them nil human phraseology and put In only scrip tural phraseology, nnd you will see how quick tho people will jump after them. On the Columbia lllver we suw the sal mon jump clear out of the water In dilTer- ont places, I suppose for tho purpose of gutting the Insects. And if when wo want to fish for men and we only have tho right kind of bait, they will spring out above the flood of their sins and sorrows to reach If. The YouDg Men's Christian Associations of Amorlca will also do part of the work. They are going to take the young men of this nation for God. These Institutions seem In better favor with God aud man than ever before. Business muft and capitalists are awaking to the fact that they can do nothing better in the way of living beaeficence or in last will aud testament than to do what Mr. Marquund dki for Brooklyn when he made the Young Mon’s Christian palaoe possible. Those Institutions will get our young men all over the laud into a stampede for heaven. Thus we will all In some way help on the work, you with your ton talents, I with five, somebody else with three. It is estimated that to irrigate the arid and desert lands of America as they ought to be irrlgatod. It will cost about one hundred million dollars to gather the waters Into reservoirs. As much contri bution and effort as that would irrigute with Gospel Influences all the waste pluces of this continent. Let us by prayer nnd contribution nnd right living all help to fill the reservoirs. You will carry a bucket, and you a cup. and even a thimbleful would holp. And after a while God will send the floods of mercy so gathered, pouring down over all the land, and some of us on earth and some of us in heaven will slug with Isaiah, “In the wilderness waters have broken out, and streams In the desert,” and with David, “There Is a river the streams whereof shall make glad the sight of God.” Oh, fill up the reser voirs!

Mirror making is a simple process, but thongh simple, \ is not without its eloment of dangor. I The present method is as follows; A tmooth stone tsble is arranged to bo easily canted a little on one sido by means of a screw set beneath. Around ' tho edges of tho table is a groove, in which mercury may flow and drop from ono corner into bowla. Tho table is first made perfeotly horizontal, and thou tinfoil is carefully laid over it, covering a greater space than the glasH to ho coated. A strip of glass is placed nlong eaoh of three sides of the foil to prevent the mercury from flowing off. The metal is then poured from ladles upon the foil till it is nearly a qffnrtor of nu inoh deep. The plate of glass is slid on from the opon sido, aud its ad vancing edge is kept in the meronry, so that no air or floating oxide of the motal or other impurities can get be tween the glass aud tho oleati surface of the merenry. Whoh exactly iu place it iB held till one edge of tho tablo has been olevuted ten or twelve degrees and the superfluous meronry has run off. It ie loft for novel'll hours and then plaoed npon a frame, the aide oovered with the amalgam, whioh adheres to it. After the amalgam be comes hard the plate is ready for ubc. Tho danger arising from mirror making come ohiefly from theuso of thoquiok- silver. About one-quarter of tho quicksilver produced in tho world comes from California. It is a theory whioh has been gon- orally accepted, bat the error of which is obvious to every intelligent and dis passionate observer, that men Are re gardless of mirrors and that women are thoir ohiof users. The faot is that a Very considerable number of mirrors uro bought for aud usod by men, and to that faot is duo the extant of tho business, probably, for it would ho d.ifflonlt to believe that 20,000,000 girls 1 and women require (8,000,000 worth 1 of mirrors every year, mirrors being seldom lost and never broken—inten tionally.

An artillery officer at Fort Hancock states that during the summer of 1804 General Grant telegraphed to the War Department, "I will not move my army without onions.” The next day three tralaloada of onions were moved to the front At the time dysentery was raging in the army, and Grant who believed that onions wero a sov ereign specific for that disease and oth er ills that soldiers In hot climates are subject to, had been short of on ions for a long time, and when ordered to movo his army he declared that ho would not send the men to the front without a plentiful supply of onions. The fame of General Grant an a light er of grent hattles has overshadowed his reputation ns one of the beat Gen erals ever known for taking the best of care of his men In camps nnd for providing his commnnds with abun- dnnt supplies of good food. It was (uat so with Nnpoleou and Welling ton; both were great captains nnd mili tary geniuses, but they did not forget to attend to the details of the com missary dc|mrtnu4its, nnd Instructed their commissary officers to provide good food and plenty of It to men nink> Ing campaigns.

It is a little startling to learn that tho railways of tbe world havo a mile- \ age sufficient to make a railway from 1 tlio earth to the moon and yot leave a residuum long enough to coil another , railway six times round tho earth at ' tho equator. Of this enormous mileage Persia is ! content with a railway barely long enough to oonneot Charing Cross and Tunbridge WellB. It has but one mile of railway for every 18,825 square miles, an area nearly oqnal to that of Holland, or for every 204,000 of its people. China, with its seventy-throe milea of railway, is in some respects in worse plight. For eaoh mile of rail way it has a population equal to that of Yorkshire, and an area nearly as largo as Belgium. Japan, with its 2237 miles of rail way, is muoh moro onterprising. For each' mile it has only to meet the claims of 18,770 people,and an area of seventy-one square mites. Although it has, roughly, only one mile for overy ten of the United Kingdom, it oarried no fewer than 70,000,000 passongors a year. Of the world’s total mileage the United States claim nearly a half, or, more accurately, 180,OuO miles, a length, ronghly, equal to seven and one-quarter times tho earth's oircurn- f oreuoe at thn equator. In proportion to population tho United States havo for each mile of railway in Russia twelve miles, in Oermany or the United Kingdom flvo miles, for eaoh milo iu Anstria six and in France four. Among Eumpoan nations Belgium is most blessed with railway facilities in proportion to nroa, and Spain halts impotently in the rear of all the .other nations. During tho last flvo years RusBip has shown most railway enterprise, with an inoreasod mileage of twonty percent,; Oermany follows with an increase of seven per cent., France six and the United Kingdom is 'con tent with throe. Africa has one milo of railway for every 1210 square miles of territory, and Australasia ono for every 821 square miles, an nrea approximately that of the county of Huntingdon,-^ London Tit-Bits.
