It was said that John MoffatU the great M**t>Hxii*t preacher, occasionally got fast in his sei mon, and te extricate himself would cry “Hallelujah I am iu no such predicament to-day, but 1 am full of the name i haj*->dic ejaculation. Start ing out this morning on anew ecclesiastical year, I want to give you the key note of my next twelve mouths' ministry. 1 want to net it to the tune of Antioch, Ariel end Corona tion. Some time ago we had a re w stop put iu this organ—a new trumpet stop—and l want to put anew trumpet stop into my ser mons. . . In all our Christian work you and I want more of the element of gladness. That man has no right to si* v that Christ uever laughed. Do you suppose that He w a* glum at the w ed ding in Cana of Galilee? l* you suppose Christ was unresponsive when the children clambered over His knee and shoulder at His own invitation? Do you suppoee that the evangelist meant nothing when he said of Christ: "He rejoiced in spirit?" Do you believe that the Divine Christ who pour* all the water over the rocks at Vernal Falls, Yosemite, does not believe iu the sparkle and gallop and tumultuous joy and rushing raptures of human lift*? I believe not only that the morning laughaand that the mountains laugh, and that the seas laugh, and that the cascades laugh, but tlut Christ laughed. Moreover, take a laugh and n tear into an alembic,and assay them, and te*t them, and analyze them, ami you will often find a* much of the pure gold of religion in a laugh as in a tear. I >eep spiritual joy always shows itself m facial illumination. John * Wesley said he was sure of a good religious impression being produced lieaum* of what he calls the great laughter he saw among the people. G<idles# merriment is blasphemy anywhere, but expression of Christian joy id appropriate everywhere. Moreover, the outlook of the world ought to stir us to gladness. Astronomers recently disturbed many people by telling them that there is danger of stellar collision. We have been told through the papers by these as tronomers that there are worlds coming very near together, and that wo shall have plagues and wars and tumults and perhaps the world’s destruction. Do not be scared. If you have ever stood at a railroad center, where ten or twenty or thirty rail tracks cross each other, and seen that by the movement of tlie switch one ox two inches the train shoots this way and that, without colliding, then you may understand how fifty worlds may come w ithin an inch of disaster,aud that inch lie as good as a mill ion miles. If a human switchtender can ;%*>t the trains this way ami that without harm, caimot the Hand that for thousands of years hasupneld the universe keep our lit tle world out of harm’s way? Christian geo logists tell us that this world was million of years in building. Well, now, I do not think God would take millions ' .ears to build a house which to last ix thousand years. There l. nothing m the world or outside the world, torrential or astronomical, to excite dismay. I wish that some stout Gospel breeze might scatter all the malaria of human foreboding. The sun rose this morning at about half-past 5, and I think that is just about the hour in tho world’s history. "The day is at hand.” The first ray of the dawn 1 see in the gradual substitution of diplomatic skill for humau butchery. Within the last twenty five years there have U-u international differences which would have brought a shook of arms in any other day, but which' were peacefully adjusted,the pen taking the place of the sword. That Alabama question iu any other age of the world would have caused war between the United States and England. How was it settled? By men of-war otf the Narrows, or off the Mersey? By the Gulf Stream of the ocean crossed by a gulf stream of human blood? Hv the pathway of nations incarnadined? No. A few wise men go into a quiet room at Gen eva, talk the matter over, and telegraph to Washington and to London: "All settled.” Peace” Peace. England pays to the United States the amount awarded—pays reallv more than she ought to have paid. Bi t still, all that Alabama broil is settled—settled for ever. Arbitration instead of battle. So, the quarrel eight or nine years ago about the Canadian fisheries in any other age would have caused war between the United States and England. England said: “Pay me for the invasion of mr (Canadian tifthtc ies” The United States said: "I will not pay anything.” Well, the two nations say .“1 guess we had better leave tho whole matter to a commission.” The commission is ap pointed, and the commission examines the affair, and the commission reports, and pay we ought, jiuy we must, pay wo do. Not a pouim of powder burned, not a cartridge bit ten off, no one hurt s * much as by the scratch of u pin. Arbitration instead of battle. 8o the Somoan controversy in any other age would have brought Germany and the United States in bloody collision. But all is settled. Arbitration instead of battle. Franco will never again, I think, through peccadillo of ambassador, bring on a battle with other nations. She sues that God, in punishment of Sedan, blotted out the French Empire, and the only aspirant of that throne who had any right of expectation dies in a war that has not even the dignity of being respectable. What is that olush on the cfaeek of England to-day -’ What is the leaf t hat England would like jo tear out of her history? The Zulu war. Down with the sword and up with the treaty. We in this country might better have set tled our sectional difficulties by arbitration than by the thrust of the sword. Philan thropy said to the North: ‘Pay down a cer tain amount of money forth© purchase* of the slaves, and let all those born after a certain time be born free.” Philanthropy at the same time said to the South: “You sell the claves, and get rid of this great national contest and trouble.” The North replied: *1 won't pay a cent.” The South replied: “1 won't sell.” War! War! A million dead men, and a na tional debt which might have ground this na tion to powder. Why did we not let AY illiam H. Seward, ol New York, and Alexander H. Stevens, of Georgia, go out and spend u few days under the trees on the banks of the Potomac and talk the matter over, and settle it. as settle it they could, rather than the North pay in tost of war, four billion seven hundred mil lion dollars, and the South pay four billion seven hundred and fifty million dollars, the destroying angel leaving the first born dead in so many houses all the way from the Pen obscot to the Alabama. Ye aged men, whose sons fell in the strife do you not think that would have been better? Oh, yes! we have come to believe, I think, in this coun try, that arbitration is better than battle. I may le mistaken, but I hope that the last war between Christian nations is ended. Barbarians may mix their war paint, end Afghan and Zulu hurl poisoned arrows, but I think Christian nations have gradually learned that war is disaster to victor as well as vanquished, and that almost anything bought by blood is lnought at too dear a price. I wish to God this nation might boa model of willingness for arbitration. No need of killing another Indian. No need of sacrificing any more brave General Custers. Stop exasperating the red man.and there will be no more arrows shot out from the reserva tion. a General of the United States army, in high repute throughout this land, and who, perhaps, has been in more Indian wars than any other officer, and who has been wounded again and again in IxdiaJf of our Government in battle against the Indians, told me that all the wars that had ever oc curred between Indians and white men had been provoked by white men, and that there wan no exception to the rule. While we are arbitrating with Christian nations, let us to ward barbarians carry ourselves in a manner uiiorovocative of contest. I inherit a large estate, and the waters are rich with fish, and the woods are songful with birds, and m v cornfields are silken and golden. Here is my sister's grave. Out yonder, un der that large tree, mv father died. An in vader comes, and proposes to drive me off and take possession of my property. He crowds me back, he crowds me on, and crowds me into a closer corner, and still closer corner, until after a while I say: “Svand back, don't crowd me any more, or I’ll il/rike. \Y hat right have you to come her< and drive me off my premises?

Notwithstanding all ; this, the general disgust with war ami tho substitution of diplomatic skill for the glit tering edge of keen steel is a sign unmistaka ble that "the dav is at hand.” I find another ray of the dawn In the com pression of the world’s distance*. What a slow, snail-like, almost impossible thing would have been tho world’s rectification with fourteen hundred millions of population nod no facile means of communication; but now through telegraphy for tho eve and telephonic intimacy for the ear. and through steam boating and railroading, the twenty and all the.- agencies of invention, l do not know that th* redemption of the world will be more than the work of half a day. Do we not read tho Queen’s spaech at the proroguing of Parliament the day before in London* If that be so, is it anything mar velous to believe that in twenty-four hours u divine communication can reach the whole earth* Kupjs.so Christ should descend on the nations —many expect that Christ will come among the nations personally—suppose that to-morrow morning the Bon of Goa from a hovering cloud should descend upon these cities. Would not that fact be known nil tho world over in twenty-four hours? Suppose He should present His Gospel in i. few words wiving: "I ani the Son of God: I cane* to pardon all your sins and to heal all your sorrow; t * prove that I am a supernatural being, I have just descended from the clouds; do you believe Me. and do vou believe Me now?” Why, all the tele graph stations of the earth would lx* crowded a- none .f them were ever crowded just af ter a shipwreck. 1 tell you all these thing* to show you it is not among the impossibili ties or even the improbabilities that Christ will conquer the whole earth, ami do it in stanter, when the time cornea. There are foretokening* in the air. Something great is going to happen. I do not think that Jupiter is going to run us down or that, the axle of the world is going to break; but I mean something great for the world’s blessing and not for the world’s damage is going to happen. 1 think the world has had it hard enough. Enough, the Lon don plague*. Enough, the Asiatic choleras. Enough, the wars. Enough, the shipwrecks. Enough, the conflagrations. 1 think our world could stand right well a procession of prosperities axid triumphs. Better be on the lookout. Better nave your observa tories open toward the heavens, and tin* lenses* of your most powerful teiesconcs well polished. Better have all your Leyden jars ready for some new pulsation of mighty influence. Better have new fonts of type in your printing offices to set up some astound ing good news. Better have some new ban ner that has never been carried, ready for live thousand miles of the world's circumfer ence are shriveling up into insig nPi cant brevity. Hong Kong is near or to New York than a few years ago New Haven was; Bombay, Moscow, Madras, Mel bourne within speaking distance. Purchase a telegraphic chart, and by the blue lines see the telegraphs of the land, and by the red lines the cable* under the ocean. You see what opportunity this is going to give for tho final movements of Christianity. A fortress may le months or years in building, but after it is constructed it may do all its work in twenty minutes. Christianity has been planting its batteries for nineteen cen turies, and may go on in tho work through other centuries; but when those lotteries are thoroughly planted, those fortresses are fully built, they may all do their work in twenty four hours. Tin* world sometimes derides the church for slowness of movement. Is science any quicker? Did it not take science five thousand six hundred and fifty-two years to find out so simple a thing as the ■irculation of the human blood? With the earth and the sky full of electricity, science took five thousand eight hundred years before it even guessed that there was any practical use that might lx* made of this subtle and mighty element. When good men take possession of all these scientific forces, sudden processions. Better have the bells in your church towers well hung,and rope with in reach, that you may ring out the mar riage of the King’s Son. Cleanse all your court houses, for the Judge of all the earth may appear. Let nil your legislative hall* be gilded, for the great Lawgiver may be about to come. Drive off the thrones of despotism all the occupants, for the King of heaven and earth may be about to The darkness of the night is blooming and whitening into the lilies of morning cloud, and the lilies reddeding into the roses of stronger day—fit garlands, whether white or red, For Hun on whose head are many crowns. “The day is at hand!” One more ray of the dawn I see in facts chronological and mathematical. Come now, do not let us do another stroke of work until we have settled one matter. What is going to bo the filial issue of this great contest lietween sin and righteous ness? Which is going to prove himself the stronger, God or Diabolus? Is this world going to be all garden or all desert? Now let us have that matter settled. if we Ixdievo Isaiah and Ezekiel and Hoses, aud Micah ami Malaehi, and John and Deter, and i’aul and Christ, we believe that it is going to be all garden. But let us have it settled. Let us kuow whether we are working on toward a success or toward a dead failure If there is a child in your house sick, and you are sure he is going to g,-t well, you sympathize with present pains, but all tin* foreboding is gone. If you are in a cyclone off the Florida coast, and the Captain assures you the vessel is staunen and the winds are changing for a better quarter, and he is sure he will bring you safe into the harbor, you patient ly submit te present distress with tho thought of safe arrival. Now I want to know whether we are coming on toward dis may, darkness and defeat, or on toward light and blessedness. You and I believe the lat ter, and if so. every year we spend is ono year subtracted from the world’s woe, and every event that i>rssos, whether bright or /lark, brings us one event nearer a happy consummation, and by all that is inexorable in chronology and mathematics I commend you to good cheer and courage. If there is anything in arithmetic, if you sub tract two from five and leave three, then by every rolling sun we are coming on toward a magnificent terminus. Then every winter passed is one severity less for our poor world. Then every summer gone bv brings us nearer unfading arborescence. Put your algebra down on the top of your Bible and rejoice. If it is nearer morning at o’clock than it is at 2, if it is nearer morning at 4 o'clock than it is at 3, then we are nearer tho dawn of the world’s deliverance. Clod’s clock • rms to go very slowly, but the pendulum swings and tho hands move, and it will yet strike noon. The sun and the moon stood still once; they will never stand still again until they stop forever. If you believe arithmetic as well as your Bible, you must believe we arc nearer the dawn. “The day is at* hand.” There is a 1 'lass of phenomena which makes me think that the spiritual and the heavenly world may, after a while, make a demonstra tion in this world which will bring all moral and spiritual tilings to a climax. Now, T aiu no spiritualist; hut every intelligent man has noticed that there are strange and mvs* terious things which indicate to him that perhaps the spiritual world is not so far off as sometimes we conjecture, and that after a while, from the spiritual nnd heavenly world there may be a demonstration upon ou r world for its bet terment. AVe call it magnetism, or we eail it mesmerism, or we call it electric ity, because we want some term to cover up our ignorance. Ido not know what, that is. I never heard an audible voice from the other world. I am pursuaded of this, however: that the veil between this world and the next is getting thinner and thinner, and that, perhaps after a while, at the call of God— not at, the call of the Davenport brothers, or Andrew Jackson Davis—some of the old scriptural warriors, some of the spirits of other days mighty for God—a Joshua, or a Caleb, or a David, or a Paul—may come down and help us in this battle against, un righteousness. Oh, how I would like to have them here —him of the Red Sea. him of the valley of Ajalon, him of Mars Hill. History says that Robert Clayton, of the English cav alry, at the close of a war bought up all tlioold cavalry horses lest they be turned out to drudgery and hard work, and bought a piece of ground at Naversmire heath and turned these old war horses into the thickest and richest pasture to spend the rest of their days for what they had done in other days. One day a thunder storm came up, and these war horses mistook the thunder of the skies for the thunder of buttle, and they wheeled into line no riders on their backs—they wheeled into line ready for the fray. And I doubt me whether, when the last thunder of this battle for God and truth goes booming through the heavens, the old scriptural war nor* can k\p thmr pla<v on tli ar throne* Bethink* they vtill miring Into the fight and exchange crown for hel u.q, and palm branch for weajMiii, and come down out of the King’* jmllorte* into th. arena, crying: “Make rxiin!

"When David again had Saul in his power, after the time recorded in the last lesson,and Abi; f ai wanted to slay him, David refused to touch the Lord’s anointed, and said; "The Lord shall smite him, or his day shall come to die, or he shall descend into battle and perish.” The last of these predictions is fulfilled in the lesson of to-day. The events between the last lesson and this are: The death of Samuel; the death of Nabal, upon whom David was restrained from taking ven geance; David marries Abigail and Ahinoam; he spares Saul a second time; he goes to the Philistines and lives at Ziklag; Saul again disobevs G<xl by consulting the witch of En dor; David’s town of Ziklag is smitten dur ing his absence with his six hundred, and women, children aud flocks all carried cap tive, but David pursues and recovers all. 1. "Now the Philistines fought against Israel and the men of Israel fled from liefore the Philistines.” This was the battle to w’hich David and his men had started, when they were sent back by the Lords of the Philistines only to find Ziklag desolate and burned with fire; God again hindered David from having anything to do with the death of Saul. It is a sad sight to see the people of God fall before the defiers of God, when the promise was that one should chase a thousand and two put ten thousand to flight (I>eut. xxxii., 30); but the best of men are nothing if God is not with them, and Israel, through Saul, had forsaken God. and the dearly be loved of His soul is given again into the hands of her enemies because of her sins (Jer. xii., 7) that she may by c hastening learn to know God. 2. “The Philistines slew Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Melchishua, Saul's sorts.” It makes one’s heart ache to read this,especially concerning Jonathan, the loving, the brave, the noble. How David lamented for him is recorded in the next chapter, and we do not wonder at the depth of his lamentations over one whose soul was knit with his own, but we do wonder when we read that it was a lamentation over Saul as well as Jonathan. (II Sam. i., 17.) The secret of it is that David saw not the man Saul, his enemy, but he saw the King Saul, the anointed of the Lord. If we could only see the children of God as dear to Him, and as they will be when per fected, we would have more pity for their failings and sorrow for their sins. 3. “The battle went sore against Saul, and the archers hit him.” He was not any longer in merciful hands, but in the hands of those who knew no mercy. Ixmg suffering and mercy had followed him many years; he had been sjiared many a time and warned often; but “he that being often reproved, hardeneth his neck, shaJl suddenly be de stroyed, and that without remedy;” and now mercy is past for him and judgment has reached him. 4. “Therefore Saul took a sword and fell upon it.” being sore wounded asked his armor bearer to slay him; hut notice the reason: “Lest these uncircumcised come and thrust me through aud abuse me.” What a fear he has of being dishonored by those un circumcised, what a keen sense of honor, but it is the old story as when he pleaded with Samuel: “Honor me now before the elders of my people and before Israel” (chap, xv., 30). It was nis honor, and not the honor of God, that he was careful about. In Saul’s case it was Saul and his glory that was uppermost; hut in David’s case, David was nothing and the Lord and His glory was everything. 5. “His armor bearer * * * fell like wise upon his sword and died with him.” This looks heroic and like a spirit of devotion to his master, but bad he been devoted to God instead of to Saul, or more devoted to God than to Saul, he would not have done so. No man who fears God will take his own life, and anyone who believes God concerning the awful future of the ungodly as revealed in Scripture could not think of rushing madly into it. Simple unbelief is the cause of all such conduct. G. “So Saul died, and his three sous, and his armor bearer, and all his men, that same day together.” What then? The words of the Lord Jesus, in Luke xvi., and other w ords of the Spirit plainly recorded in Scrip ture, teach us that if we believe God and are redeemed by the precious blood of His dear Son, “to die is gam,” “to depart and be with Christ is far better,” and when the spirit leaves the body, our conscious personal life continues, and the angels guide or carry us to perfect bliss in His presence. But if we die in our sins and disobedient it is equally plain that the portion of such, while also per sonally conscious, is darkness, torment, gnashing of teeth and fearful looking for of judgment. 7. “Israel * * * forsook the cities and tied, and the Philistines came and dwelt in them.” Here is not only the defeat and slaughter of the Lord’s people Israel, but their possessions, which they ought to have kept and eujoved, are possessed by their ene mies. This is’sad, indeed, and the only rea son is that the people of God had turned their hacks upon Him. 8. “The Philistines came to strip the slain.” The detiers of God cannot do enough to show their hatred of Him and His professed fol lowers. It is the devil who possesses them and who is called truly a devourer and destroyer. 9. “They cut off his head and stripped off his armor, and sent * * to publish ii * * * among the people.” Thus what Saul feared came upon him, and those uncircum cised Philistines abused his body. But w orst of all it was published abroad among these idolatrous donors of the Living and True God. When one who bears the name of Jesus is in any way overcome by the world, the flesh, or the devil, that Holy Name is blasphemed and thus dishonored by the sins thus committed, ami not only aresuch Chris tians (if they are Christians) laughed at and despised by the world, but the precious name they bear, instead of being exalted, is de spised also on their account. 10. “They put his armor in the house of Ashtaroth; and they fastened his body to the w all of Bethshau.” What a victory for the idolaters, but it will not continue. Blessed bo God that all the victories of His enemies are only for a little time, hut the victory of Ilis dear Son is for eternity. 11. “The inhabitants of Jabesli Giliad heard.” Thank God for the faithful in all ages who will not tolerate an insult to His name or His people if he can prevent it. Ho has always had them, has them to-day. and will have them, a little flock until His body is completed and then shall the whole earth begin to be fileld with them. 12. “All the valiant men arose and went all night.” We are not told how many were valiant men, but it it was with them as with the men of Gideon, there were but few, and yet God can do more with 300 like Gideon’s bund than with 3000, or 30,000. or 300,000 who are half hearted or fearful or afraid. Jesus our Captain, knowing all things that were to befall Him went steadily forward to the consummation of His agony and our sal vation, never stopping or turning aside. 13. ‘ ‘They took tneir bones and buried t liem under a tree at Jabesli, and fasted seven days.” It was only their bodies they rescued after all. Wo are after souls, and our Cat>- tain will rescue the bodies, too, in due time, not to lx* buried, but to be raised incorrupti ble. immortal, just like His own glorified body. This is the end of the story of Haul, raised by the God of Israel to be King over His people; if he had only obeyed God what a blessing he might have beau and what a different record he might have left.

After some little maneuvering for position, the In dian* making numerous changes so ns to get the commissioners all grouped to gether, tlie party Anally dismounted, nud General Cun by, advancing toward Cap tain Jack, n.ndo a short speech, and then asked Dr. Thomas to talk. The doctor made his last speech coolly and calmly, with the slow, distinct manner, that was so peculiar to him. He said: “ltiildlc, .tell these peoplo for me that I think the Great Spirit put it in the heart of the President of the United States to send me here. 1 know all these men. I have known General Canby for thirteen years, Meacham for eighteen years, Dyar for four years; I know their hearts are all good. Wo want no more blood.” When the doctor had finished Captain Jack rose to his feet and stepped toward Dyar, to the right of General Canby, while Schonchin moved to the left of the General. Captain Jack made a short speech, and while Kiddle Wits interpret ing it, two Indians, Barncho aud Sloluck, were seen creeping out of the bushes with three rifles each in their arms. The com mission party instantly jumped to tiieir feet, with the exception of Toby, who threw herself flat on the ground. As the party sprang up, Meacham called out to Captain Jack: “What does this mean?" For answer the Indian drew a pistol from his side and pointed it at General Canby, who was but four feet away, and shot him in tjie face. The General staggered back, and then ran for a dis tance of about forty yards, when a rifle bullet, fired by Ellen's Man George, went crashing through his brain and he fell on the rocks. Captain Jack then ran up and stabbed the fallen man in the neck, and Black Jim proceeded to strip him of his clothing. By this time the rifles were all distri buted. aud Boston Charlie, seizing one, shot Dr. Thomas in the chest. The In dians then taunted him with the remark that next time he had better believe a squaw, called him a Sunday doctor, and then Bogus Charley put an end to ids sufferings by shooting him through the head with a rifle, killing him with a prayer on his lips. Dyar, who had been on tlie alert, was running when the first shot was fired. Black Jim was to have dispatched Dyar, but he was otherwise engaged and Cap tain Jack ordered Hooka Jim to shoot him. Hooka followed Dyar for several hundred yards, but did not overtake him, and so returned to the scene of car nage. Riddle was also on the alert and he too bounded away toward the camp. One of tlie Indians bounded after him, but he was brought to bay by Soar-faced Charley’s rifle. This Indian had de clared when the massacre was agreed upon that Riddle should not die, aud he hvd posted himself in the rocks, soiae distance off, rifle in hand, prepared to ehoot the man who shot Kiddle. Thus Riddle escaped. Sloluck clubbed Toby and stole her pony, but Captain Jack interfered in be- half of the squaw and her pony was* re stored and her life saved. . Schonchin was to have been Meacham’s executioner and he approached the com missioner with a revolver and knife. His first shot only grazed Meacham’s left shoulder, a small derringer which he had drawn probably spoiling his aim. “In return,” says Meacham in his statement of the massacre, “I aimed at Schonchin’s heart, but the derringer failed to fire. The sight of the knife had placed me in a terrible position, that being the worst thing to face, and there were three other Indians who had joined Schonchin and fired at me from a dis tance of twenty or thirty feet. Why they missed me I cannot tell. I only know that I had made up my mind that the end had come, that I could not pos sibly escape, and I had the curious hope that some bullet would strike mo in the heart and kill me instantaneously, thus saving me from torture and mutilation. The direction I took was over a small ridge of rocks, over which I jumped, with no hope of ever getting up again. I raised my head, to discover Schonchin at the same distance from me. I felt the sting of a bullet in my face. Then he fired his pistol, and the sting of an other bullet was felt in my right arm. Another struck mo on the temple; one shattered my ear, .and I caught another in my left hand. Some of these shots stunned mo and I became unconscious. The rest I learned from the Indians. While they were stripping me, Shack iisty-Jim came up* and was preparing to shoot again, when his gun was pushed aside with the remark: 41c is dead; he is dead.’ Boston •then began to take my scalp with a blunt knife, but Toby in terposed with devices*to delay the opera tion, when at length lie had raised five or six inches of scalp*on the left side of my head, Toby, woman-like, accom plished by strategy'what could not be done otherwise. She shouted: ‘Sol diers! soldiers!’ and Boston left his work uulinished. Ret urn in c-to consciousness some time after, I heard the word of com mand given to the advancing soldiers, nnd knew that I wasssaved.” It is impossiblcto describe the intense excitement caused by this massacre, A univeisal cry of vengeance arose, aud no where did the desire.burn more fiercely than in the hearts of Canby’s gallant companions in arms. General Gillen, then in command, IIIUI Its; limit'd i lit (''prepa ration for a determined attack on the lava beds, and was stimulated in his efforts by a dispatch .from Sherman tell ing him tliatilie would beijustified in the extermination of the tribe. On April 15 the attack on the lava beds began and continued fiercely all dny.thcv Indians dis puting every inch of the way, until at the close of the day the troops Inal suffered a loss of four killed nnd nine wounded. The combat*was renewed next day and the result was .five men killed and thir teen wounded, the Indians lighting des perately to escape from the beds. On the third day the! savages-were believed to have been dislodged from their strong holds and to luave retrisited southward, upon which thwtaoops immediately pre pared for pursuit. Thou on April 26 eccurred the secoi tl shocking massacre of the war. Captain Thomas and hi* com mand were reconnoitring the bed* with sixty-fivo men to find out whether tney were really deserted, when he was *ur nriied By the Modoc* und forty-"'’® hi* command placed hor* de combat. Soon after thia General Gillen wa re lieved of tho command and General Davis appointed. An iiwtantaineou* change in f tfea 10 Indians were pushed in all direction*, harassed, shot and hunted down, the troops being gallantly assisted in the work by the Warm Spring Indians, until at hist. May 22, seventy of the Modoc* sur rendered unconditionally at l airehild * ranch. Captain Jack and some twenty warriors alone remained in the field. To assist in their capture Bogus ('barley. Hooka Jim, Curley-headed Jack and Shacknosty Jim, on the promise of emption, volunteered a* tracker*. ith them ami n small detachment of tr<><>|>* General Davi* started in pursuit, which was kept up until May 2‘J, when Captain Jack aud all the remaining Modoc* sur rendered at Willow Creek and the erucl war was ended. A court-martial was held at Fort Klamath, Oregon, July 1, which resulted in the conviction of Captain Jack, Schonchin, Black Jim, Boston Charley, Barncho and Sloluck for murder. Ihe j four other leaders mentioned show were liberated in pursuance of the agreement with General Davis “for services rendered Ellen s Man George had been killed iu the fighting, while Barncho and Sloluck were respited at the very lost moment, with a commu tation of sentence to imprisonment for life on Alcatraz Island in San Francisco bay. The execution day was set for Friday, October IS, and early on the morning of that day the four condemned Indian* were driven out in a wagon from the guard-house of the fort to the four fold gibbet which had been erected in an open field some OUO yards distant. Pre vious to their being brought out there had been a “big talk," in which Captain Jack showed a strong love of life and proposed that the authorities should let him go and hang Sear-faced Charley in stead. Boston Charley, a young Indiau, said lie did not fear dentil, acknowledged ins guiltiness, gloried in the deed and hurled scornful words at his fellow-pris oners. Old Schonchin made an eloquent and manly address that lasted for over an hour. He said that he had no confession to make, no criticism to pass. “You say I must die,” he said. “You are the law giving parties. lam satisfied if the law is correct.” Black Jim had nothing to say. When the wagon with its load of con demned men halted in front of the gal lows the military closed in on three sides, but let the fourth open so that all the Indian prisoners might see the ful fillment of the law. The morning was beautiful and clear, but rather cold, and the Indians all kept their blankets pulled up to their noses. To the sound of muffled drums the Indians were then taken out of the wagon and led to the scaffold. Boston Charley and Black Jim ascended the steps first. Boston Charley took a quid of tobacco ns he got out of the wagon and another as he mounted the stairway, looking round at the sol diers as he diil so and spitting vigorous ly. Captain Jack was very weak and had to he helped out and into his posi tion on the drop. The other two mani fested a supreme indifference to all that was going on. The men having been pinioned tlie orders of Presi dent Grant for their execu tion were read, and then, at 10:15 o’clock, tlie chaplain stepped forward and began to read the service for the dead, a gentle breeze sweeping across the fields aud rustling the leaves of the prayer book. The nooses were tlier, adjusted and the black caps, made of condemned haversacks, were drawn ovei the Indians’ heads. A white handker chief fluttered in the hand of the Colonel, fell, and as it did so a corporal swung an ax and severed tlie death line. Tlie long drop fell with a loud report and the foui murderers were in the air. Captain Jack never moved a muscle, Schonchin and Boston Charley died hard, but Black Jim, like Captain Jack, died without a struggle. The bodies were soon cut down and buried and the tragedy of retribution was over. The Japanese Jinrikisha. One of the most popular features at the Paris Exposition-is the Japanese Jinriki sha, which is a two-wheeled gig with | very little wheels and made very light, | that is drawn by a Japanese man. It is | generally supposed that the jinrikisha has | been in use for hundreds of years in Japan, but this is not; the case. Profes sor W. K. Burton, of Tokio University, has been doing some several hundred miles of j-iding by jinrikisha. In an ar ticle which he contributes to the Brit ink Journal of Photography , and the Photo graphic. Neut, Professor Burton says that this mode of travel is only about thirty years old. Thirty years ago the Japan ese had two ways of traveling. One was by bull carts and the other was by chairs or baskets suspended between two poles and carried on the shoulders of two men, and this method is still in use where the roads are very steep. The jinrikisha was practically introduced by the first English settlers, who brought out two-wheeled carriages with them, and the jinrikisha is simply n copy of these on a smaller scale. .Professor Burton says that on good roads a jinrikisha will keep up a rate of seven or eight miles an hour for several hours. When the roads are had it is customary to have two men, one of whom pulls with a cord in front. The charge for one man is ten fen an hour, which is about eight cents. If a person wishes to keep his carriage in Japan he can do so very cheaply, the rate for a jinrikisha and a loan by the week being only about two dollars. In the country the rate is gen erally charged according to the distance and costs about a cent a mile. Professor Burton, while on his recent travels, did from forty to ninety miles a day, accord ing to the distance and condition of the 'roads, and he changed jinrikisha at the end of every ten miles or so. Prodigious Moths. The largest known moth iu existence is the Atlas. Its average size is ten inches of spread of wings, nnd its closest competitor is the Erebus Strix, a large gray moth of South America. The Owl moth, also of South America, is another prodigious fellow, aud spreads about eight inches. Hut its size is not its only feature. It is so peculiarly marked be neath that any child readily recognizes tlie owl-like appearance of the outlines. The two hind wings from the owl's head, being eyed, and the fore part of the bodj represents the beak. In close juxtaposi tiou to the owl i? pinned the Death’! Head, a moth which derives its name from a mark on tiie back resembling t human skull. It is English, but it is claimed that in 1887 a specimen wai caught flying in New London. This is easily accounted for, as it feeds on potatc vines, and many were imported that year. It is thought that the pupa luav hnvs been in the earth that came with thi potatoes and the moth, hatching out escaped aud was captured.— New Tori Tribune.

A Louisiana farmer recommends tar smoke for diphtheria cure. His treat ment is to put a few drops of tar, like that used in shipyard*, on a warm stove lid, and to require the patient to inlmle aud swallow the smoke ten times a day for five minutes each time. He has been invariably successful in bis experiments. The spread of cancer in a small com ..mune of Normandy (Bt. Sylvestre de Courcelles) attracted the attention of Dr. Arnaudet, as the disease has attained to fifteen per cent, of the total moitality. The cases were principally males, and as a rule the cancer was located in the stom ach; lienee Dr. Arnaudet thinks that cancer is contagious, and is propagated by water. A floating workshop, to be known us the steel torpedo-depot ship Vulcan, was launched at Portsmouth, England, re cently. It is intended to accompany a fleet and carry a large equipment of tor pedo boats. 81ie will he supplied with hydraulic cranes on which torpedo boats can be twisted in and out of the water. The Vulcan is of 6520 tons burden und 12,000 horse power. Dr. Worms, of Riga, proposes for the cure of phthisis a remedy precisely con trary to that by hot air recently some what discussed. He believes in cold air. He holds that as the bacillus of tuber culosis needs at least thirty-seven degrees for its development, any lower tempera ture will be fatal to it, and he treats his patients with low temperature. As cold, dry climates have hitherto been found favorable, this theory is in conformity with well established experience. In a lecture upon fast trains, Professor Iladlcy said: “The speed of railroad trains is restricted within three theoreti cal limits: First, a physical limit of eighty miles per hour, beyond which it is found impossible for a train to hold the track; second, an operating limit of sixty miles an hour, which practical experience has found trains cannot run without dan ger to life; third, a commercial limit of of thirty miles per hour, at which, all things considered, it is found most economical to run a train.” Sculptors’ Marble. “The marble used by sculptors for the better class of work is xvhat is called Car rara, and costs in New York sl4 per square foot. But this is so beautifully fine in its fibre that it will not stand ex posure in the open air, especially if near the sea. In a private residence or hall it is safe, and preserves its contour as well as the harder and coarser grained stone, which is quarried from the same place, hut which lias a bluish tint and is veined, and which costs only $8 per square foot. The difference in the working of the two is great, the cheaper article is more brittle and altogether unsuited to the minute and delicate tracery which is so frequently called for in draped figures. But for pedestals or greatly enlarged figures it is perhaps more appropriate than the other. I knew a sculptor in London who had worked for two years on a female statue, which turned out to be a most speaking likeness of tlie original. He was a fas tidiously careful aud conscientious artist, and after the work xvns finished and fully approved by those for whom it xvas done, he begged that it might be allowed to re main in ills studio for a few days longer, for he said he wanted to retouch it. His wisli xvas complied with, and cue day, thinking he had discovered a slight in accuracy in one of tlie outstretched fin gers, he commenced to repair the fault. Coming across a flaw in the stone xvliicli had hitherto remained hidden, the fated finger fell at his feet, and two years’ labor was lost. Such accidents are liable to occur xvith any sculptor who gets hold of an inferior or unsuitable piece of marble. —Brooklyn Citizen. Telegraphing To anti From Trains. A company is about being formed in Baltimore to place in operation the sys tem of telegraphing to and from moving railway trains invented by Baylus Cade, of Raleigh, N. C. Mr. Cade places a wire along the railroad near the track, mid tlie communication is made with the moving train by a drag descending from the car. Recent experiments at Raleigh demonstrated the success of the system. It is proposed to equip one of the rail roads between Baltimore aud Washing ton with the Cade system. It is asserted that, with tlie new system in operation, collisions between trains equipped with the instruments will be practically im possible, as the instrument on one train will automatically give notice of the ap proach of another train on tlie same track. It will also enable all railroad business to be transacted directly with the traiu, and do away with the neces sity for the block system of telegraphic signals. —New York Tribune. A Railroad Census, A gentleman friend took his life in his hand one recent afternoon and polled u transcontinental train on the Northern Pacific before it pulled out for its 1900- mile journey toward the Occident. He sought information as to nationalities, and found representatives from Asia .Mi nor, Russia, Turkey iu Europe, Switzer land, Hungary, Austria, Italy, Spain, France, Prussia, Belgium, the three di visions of Great Britain, Sweden, Nor way and Denmark (of course) and one Algerian on board. With these were representatives from twenty-one States and Territories in the United States and five of the South American divisions. As nearly as this amateur statistician could gather, seventy per cent, of the passen gers were going West to stay, twenty per cent, were tourists and ten per cent, had temporary business along the line of the j-uilway.— tst, Paul Globe. COWS SERENADED THEM. How an Ohio Couple Worn Greeted on Their Marriage Eve. There was great fun out in Delaware township tlmother n glit. Merle Hour*, sixty tlui veers old, married a girl of übnut seventeen summers, and tint boys in the noighbo.hood determined t* giva them none thing out of tile ordinary in tlie wav of a charivari. The mis duel makers come to this city me! purchased two imiltuls of bio mi, Irssli from a sluuitliter house, and carried it out where the newlv married eouple were to h|>oiiil the night. As soon a* December and Muv had retired these boys slipped Into the yard surround.ng tlie house and poured a str.mn entirely around the premises. Having accomplished this without detection they drove half a doz en cows into the yard and then concent cl themselves to avvuit developments. Tho fun began at once. The cows no sooner sniffed the blood than tliov com- I allowing frantically aud e mid cci ybo heard a mile away. Other cows “caught on” and soon there came a procession of b.vine* from neatly every farm in tlie township, nil bellow i„g in tlie most vehement manner. They fought and stamped and pawed tlie ground nu i bellowo 1 in chorus un til the bridal couple fairly went wild from the annoyance. \\ lien the tumult was nt its height the bride groom, envoi ope din are i flannel garment, was seen to emerge from the door with a huge club in his hand, but his appearance in such a co-tume only added fuel to the flninc, and what follows cannot be truthfully deserdied. The maddened cattle charged at the red figure, and tho old man made on© run around tho house, which would have beaten the war'd s sprinting rec ord, and tust managed to get back within tlie door hr the horns of the fore most animal in tho peecession t- re a generous pieco out of his red lliuinel ga 1 incut, the bride in tlie meantime scr.'liming nt the t->p of her voice. Again mid again during the night did Decern her attempt to dispose of his tiniquo dims mi party, hut without avail, ar often would they return to their bloody trail. All tin's time the cows were augmenting in number uutil not loss than 2tK) cattle surrounded the house, while from every direction came tho answering bellow of new recruits, Lis tening to the bridal demonstration which was so freely bong bestowed upon old man Sours and his youthful wife. Not a wink of sleep canto to tlie couple that night, but bv early morning tlie catt e hail so effaced all trace of the bio >d by thoir pawing anl tamping that it no longer acted as an attraction, and one by one tliev left the old man and his bride in their glory. It was the strang est and most successful charivari on record.
