SwiKs p-lsonera are thrashed by elec tricity—by the Brush system, probably. Thkkk is a soft spot in the average man’s heart, and frequently one in bis head. Tins “plate matter” that the average printer never objects to is the kind that has a hot lunch on it. This average negro minstrel says sadly now, “1 cannot sing the old song.” lie fears the chestnut bell. Somr people make more fuss over an ordinary sore throat than others would over being hung.—Providence Star. That is natural. Sore throat may stay with a man all winter. Hanging is soon over. This opinion is fast crystalling in this country that the reason so many fools jump from the Brooklyn bridge is not because it is the best jumping place, but because there are more fools there than elsewhere. The theory that John i,. Sullivan should be made president of a famous belting company, is evidently founded on some misapprehension of the word "belting,” in the name of the well known corporation. The first crank who jumps from the top of Liberty Enlightening the World will have a star engagement in all the dime museums. Brooklyn bridge jumpers and Niagra Palls barrel idiots have be come too common. The Atlanta Constitution says : “Edi tor Watterson met with the longest, star eyed goddess in Prance.” After the ex tended stid-hunt thal Henri has been conducting in this country, the meeting in France must have verged on disor derly in its hilarity. Now let the business of giving Bedloe's island a new name be proceeded with. The duty belongs to the government., for the title to the island is vested in the 1'nited Slates. “Liberty island” is com monplace, but, perhaps, best for that reason. It describes the use of the island admirably. Eleven Louisville preachers are said to be writing books. Now, if Chevalier Watterson can induce the preachers to follow his example and keep the books out of print we may be able to forgive the chaste Kentuckian for many ot his vagaries. Henry, old chappie, here’s a chance to embrace the star-eyed goddess whom you have been so long hustling after. Mr. Mai* kick Bernhardt, son of Surah Bernnardt, has successfully defended his mother’s reputation, according to the code, by fighting a duel with M. Langlois, who exhibited a painting ridiculing her. Maurice has a big contract on hand. He has no father to speak of, and his thin mother makes money by being talked about. Her reputation is what she. has made it and desired it should be through eccentric action. U. II. II.VYEK IN ATLANTA. When the National Prison Association met in Atlanta on Saturday its president, Butherford B. Haves, made a speech. It must make Mr. Hayes feel rattier queer to lie the lawful president of any thing, as lie certainly is of the prison as sociation. A man who posed four years as a president, when lie was no president ut all, cannot he much at home in a chair to which lie is really entitled. And it must make a man feel squeamish at times to preside overall association for the amelioration of the condition of prisoners when he remembers that above all other men in the country he himself deserves to be behind the bars. But, then, there is one crumb of comfort that Mr. Hayes can take to himself. The as sociation is meeting in a state whose electoral vote he did not steal, because he did not have a chance. Still, he didn’t steal it. We bespeak for Mr. Hayes a kind con sideration from the people of Atlanta. Ho is a criminal, it is true, but perhaps he is one who lias repented and is trying to do better. At least, he is keeping re spectable company now—a thing he lias not always done. But whatever Mr. Hayes may do or in tend to do, his children owe it to them selves and to their children to have their n&mes changed in order to escape the Itll. TALKAHE'N KNK1T. While the National Convention of American Locomotive Engineers was holding its rccentnnnual mooting in New York city, a special sermon was preached to them at, too Brooklyn Tabernacle by the Rev. Dr. Talmage. The sermon, as reported, was practical, pathetic and beautiful, and it contained n it a thought except those calculated to make men hot ter. Railway engineers are said to lie wicked men ns a rule, and the dangerous life they lead certainly tends to make them nervy and reckless. And yet that vast audience, composed almost entirely of engineers, wept like children under the sound of the gos pel as it fell from the great preacher's lips. The press has always been the friend of Dr. Talmage. He made his fume and the press spread it abroad. He produces his sermons week after week and the daily and weekly papers waft them, like snow flakes, over continent and island and kingdom and country, until to-duy he preaches directly and in directly, that is by voice and by print, to more people than any man that ever lived in any age or country. Dr. Talmage is a wonderful man. Among the many pulpit prod igies that have been born to protest- Aintism in a century there hath not arisen a greater than T. DeWitt Talmage. He has the energy of an engine, the purity of a John, and the goddess of persuasion has her home upon his lips. Men who stand near a great cathedral or a colossal monument cannot conceive gr grasp its grandeur and immense proportions. We stand too near Talmage. He is of us and among us; but the historians of the next century will write him down among the great pulpit orators of the ages. At any rate, America has scarcely seen his like since the days of the awful and anomalous orator Whitfield, whose lute-like voice wooed sinners into listening, while his reasoning of righteousness, temperance, and judgment to come, frightened them into repentance. As the scriptures tell us that when the sons of men are gathered together satan is in their midst, so on that beautiful Sabbath morning in Brooklyn, while u thousand knights of the engine's throttle gathered reverently in the great sanctu ary to hear the gospel preached, there was one — a reporter — who came to scolf. This man represented the New Yoik Commercial Advertiser, but in the face of that fact we venture the assertion that the Police Nows would not print his description of Talmage’s sermon as an advertisement. This man and this paper can do Talmage no harm. His character is established. God has blessed him with the enmity of vile men during his whole career, and he has thrived in it like the fabled salaman der in the fire. If the Commercial Ad vertiser wants something to caricature and ridicule, heaven knows New York is chocked with subjects and monstrosi ties and moral freaks, chi of among which may he mentioned the Commercial Ad vertiser i'self, a paper whose sense of propriety is so obtuse, and whose igno rance of decency is so intense that it seeks out the sanctuary of the living God asa subject and an object of ridicule. Of a truth, fools rush in where ungels fear to tread. The editor of a paper who can smut his columns with such blasphemy, and lay open his pages for such a desecra tion of holy tilings may bo bright and deep and learned, lmt his heart is u euge of unclean birds, and his moral nature is a howling wilderness, leafless, sapless, tiro-fretted and dry. Theroarc already chronicled the golden age, the iron age, and the dark ages; hut ours, with.all its vaunted progress, bids fair to be known in coining times us the “irreverent age.” Whether this is at tributable to positive, infidelity, unset tled belief, fast living or what else, it is not our province now to discuss. But whatever the cause be, the effect and the fact remains that there are an alarming number of men in all the professions who are modern counterparts of the ur- just judge in Scripture who neith er “feared God nor regarded man.” One man now living in New York bus literally grown rich and made a national reputation besides in traversing the country and telling people ut a dollar a head what frauds God and the Chris tian religion are. If this creature has any mission on earth it is to exemplify the long-suffering nature of his Creator whose own breath lie is using to abuse Him. While they are far too numerous, still such men as Ingersoll and the editor of the Commercial Advertiser,arc us rare on the face of the earth us mountains. The great musses, and most of the great minds of this generatiou have chosen Mary’s better part and still sit at the feet of the Nazarene to learn the lessons of life. Newspapers which hope to thrive by pondering to that depravity whicli calls for contumely upon the Christian religion, would do well to remember that Tom Paine’s printing press, which he used in publishing his attack upon t'liris- .tianity, and which he declared would drive the Bible from oit' the face of the earth, was, by a strange sarcasm of fate, literally worn out in printing Bibles. Surely, “the wrath of man shall praise Him and the remainder ofwrath will He restrain.” There was a time when it was popular to ridicule ministers and religion. But that was before science had demonstrated murcial-Advertiser chooses to call Mr. Talmage a“mountebank”and u“spectacu- lar performer” signifies nothing now, unless it signifies that the editor of that paper desires to pose as another Ingersoll, and to present to the country, aR Inger soll does, the spectacle of an intellectual man wallowing in his own mire, like an unclean cub of the wilder ness. The Commercial-Advertiser has seen fit to class itself among the great New York dailies. But its attack on Mr. Talmage would never have been I noticed in these columns bad we not : deemed it one of those occasions in , which the insignificance of the licenser is | lost in the magnitude of the accusation. j Town Topics is authority for the report that Madame Nilsson Inis broken her marriage engagement to Count Miranda on account of his gambling proclivities. She will doubtless leconsidi r the mutter when she realizes the fact that it is neces sary for a prinm donna to have a worth less husband. Sjic bus already had one, and Patti has two of them. Spuhuros, in a recent prayer, said: “0 Lord, shut the mouths of the blasphem ous, especially those pretending to be preachers of the gospel, and who are yet blasphemers. Turn their hearts that they may know Thy rruth and be able to preach in favor of it.” This is inter preted as an allusion to Mr.'Beechcr, whose views concerning the doctrine of eternal punishment are not relished by the conservative orthodox. Spurgeon might as well have prayed for the shut ting of the ears of hearers who run after sush preachers. There are always two sides to questions of that character. A CARD.

CLEVELAND’S SUPERIOR RAKING POWDER, now being introduced in this locality, has been before the public fifteen years, and wherever introduced during that time has, on account of its purity and great merit, superseded very largely all other similar preparations for producing delicious, light and healthful bread material. Hence the great anxiety and fear evidenced by manufacturers of other baking powders when they learn that CLEVELAND’S BAKING- POWDER is working its way into a new locality. The manufacturers of CLEVELAND’S SUPERIOR BAKING POWDER, recognizing the fact that the public have a right to know what they are UBing as food, have fo> many years published their formula, which has been confirmed by analyses made by the Government chemists, State chemists and leading scientists of various States, showing that their Baking Powder contains only purest grape cream of tartar, bicarbonate of soda and a little wheat flour, the latter to preserve the strength of the powder, and that it does not contain ammonia, alum, lime, or any adulteration whatever. The public thus has not only the assurance that CLEVELAND'S SUPERIOR BAKING POWDER is “ absolutely pure,” but also a knowledge of all the ingredients that enter into its manufacture. This latter information is too often withheld by other baking powder companies. The scurrilous advertisements of rival manufacturers will not deter the citizens of thiB city from giving an article so flatteringly recommended as CLEVELAND’S SUPERIOR BAKING POWDER the trial which its merits so justly deserve.
