RANDALL’3 FUTURE.
He Won’t Bea Democratic Leader in
the Next House.
Washington, July 14.— 1 t is just as well >
for Randall-to pose as a leader of the dem- j
ocrats of the next House before the next
congress meets, for he will do very little
leading after the democratic caucus meets.
At an informal conference of the real dem- j
oeratic leaders just after March 4 it was |
quietly resolved to make Mr. Carlisle the .
nominee for speaker of the next House, j
and so tho official leader cf the
party on the floor. With him will stand I
Roger (J. Mills and William C. P. 11 reck in- 1
ridge, either of whom, leaviug Carlisle '
quite out of the question, is the superior as a
parliamentarian of Samuel J. Randall.
The latter may follow, but he will not lead.
Tne republicans will of course make as
much as possible of Randall. Who
ever is made speaker will give
him his choice of committee places
and he will, as an ex-sptaker, be made one
of the two democratic members of the com
mittee on rules ex-Speaker Carlisle being
the other.
This will give the republicans four out of
five memb rs in tnat committee whenever
a propositiou involving the, tariff is
under .consideration.

SAMOA’S CONSUL GENERAL.
Why the Expected Appointment of
Bewail la Delayed.
Washington, July 14. —1 t has been ex
pected that as soon as Harold Marsh Bewail
of Maine settled his accounts as disbursing
officer of the American commission to the
Berlin Samoan conference he would ba ap
pointed to the consul geueralship in Samoa,
from which he was removed by the last ad
ministration for obvious reasons. But
now that the appointment is de
layed, it is said that it may
not- be made until the Senate has passed
upon the Samoan treaty. One reason why
the President wants congress to assemble in
extra session is in order to get speedy
action upon the Samoan treaty, and to get
suoh legislation as may be uecessary to
curry it out.
HARRISON AT DEER PARK.
He Will Probably Go to Washington
Very Seldom.
Baltimore, Md., July 14.— The Suit’s
Deer Park special says: "Rain kept tho
presidential family indoors the greater
part of to-day. Daring tho early part of
tho day tho President devoted hnr.solf to
consideration of several eases pending be
fore the department of justice. Late in the
afternoon the sun came out, giving ex-
Secator Davis an opportunity to take
the President out for a drive.
Secretary Windom U’ and Private Secretary
Halford were also members of the party.
President Harrison and Secretary Windorn
afterward diued at Mr. Elkins’ cottage.
There were a number of people over from
Oakland and the corresponding country
expecting to see the President at the hotel,
a report having been circulated that he
would hold a public reception Saturday
evening. They wore disappointed. The
rumor may Lave originated from a remark
by Mr. Half ord on the hotel veranda to the
effect that Sirs. Harrison proposed to be at
home one day ©itch during- iisr stay
here to casual visitors.
WEEKLY TRIPS IMPROBABLE.
The President remarked that in view of
the hot, dusty ride of Friday afternoon he
might be obliged to revise' ts plans or the
summer and spend morellnie here than he
originally intended. He does not look for
ward with pleasure to a twelve hours’
ride on tho railroad weekly for the
next two months, and he will probably
go to Washington during that period only
when absolutely noccessary. Secretary
Windom heartily concurs in the proposi
tion to hold the cabinet meetings hero in
the meantime, and Private Secretary Hal
ford cheerfully volunteers to make trips to
and from the capital as may be necessary
to keep the President fully nformod as to
the condition of public business. This mat
ter is still under advisement.
KILRAIN GOING TO CANADA.
He Sends to His Wife for s2,ooo—Sulli
van Still In Hiding.
Indianapolis, Ind., July 14.— The
Journal le irns from Noblesville, a town
twenty miles north of here, that Kilram,
Murphy and Frank A. Stone, all of Balti
more, reached that place last night, having
driven from Edinburg. The party has been
on the alert ever since leaving Columbus,
and all their ingenuity was called into
play iu avoiding officers. Tiiey left
Pony Moore at a station a few miles
north of Indianapolis, where he boarded
a Lake Erie and Western train,
and when the train reached Noblesville he
was joined by Kilram and Murphy. Stone
was left at Noblesville to care for and re
turn the team. It is supposed hat the
others have gone to Detroit. Kilrain has
written to his wife at Baltimore to send
him 1:1,000 to Toronto, w here all the mem
bers of the party expect to meet.
SAID TO HAVE GONE EAST.
Chicago, July 14.— Jake Kilrain arrived
here rt 6:30 o’clock- this morning, having
boarded a traiu at a small station near In
dianapolis abut 10 o’clock Saturday uight.
He was accompanied by John Murphy.
They left for tho oast over tho Pennsyl
vania railroad iu the afternoon.
Notwithstanding conflicting rumors,
John L. Sullivan was in Chicago ail day to
day.
REV. FLEMON’S RETURN.
A Deputy Sheriff from Edgefield
County at Pittsburg.
Pittsburg, July 14.— E. J. Lyons, a dep
uty sheriff of Edgefield county, S. C.,
arrived iu this city last night for the pur
pose of taking charge of John Yeidell, alias
Rev. E. F. Fiemon, who is wanted for tho
murder of Officer James Blackmore, of
South Carolina. Lyons brought with him
J. E. Strong, who l.as known Fiemon since
childhood. Both men are certain that
Fiemon is the man wanted. Their descrip
tion tallies with the prisoner. Lyons has
requisitions from Governor Beaver and the
governor of South Carolina.

SAVANNAH, GA., MONDAY, JULY 15, 1860.
WAGING WAR ON McDOW
The Charleston Pulpit Opens Its
Batteries.
Charleston, S. C., July 14.— At a re
cent meeting of the Charleston Ministerial
Union, compose 1 of most of the Dotes tan t
pastors of this city, a resolution was
adopted invoking the aid of the pulpit
throughout the city and state in putting
down deeds of violence, which have so often
disgraced our land. The occasion of the
Protestant resolution was the failure of the
jury to convict Dr. McDow of the murder
of Cant. Dawson. Tho pulpit began work
to-day.
Hr. W. T. Thompson preached on tha
resolutions at the Scotch Presbyterian
church. Rev. H. M. Grant preached at the
Circular Congregational church and Dr.
Wells preached at Trinity Methodist
church. Dr. Pinckney will preach at Grace
Episcopal church next Sunday, ami otuer
ministers will follow from timo to time,
fools make mock of bin.
Dr. Thompson’s text to-dav was, “Fools
Make Mock of Sin.” In illustrating how
men mock at sin he said: “When they
refer to their darkest deeds, their flagrant
profana ion of marriage vows, their utter
disregard for truth, their devilishly devised
and obstinately prosecuted schemes for the
undoing of chastity as infirmities or indis
cretions, men make mock of sin when
their stleuca seems to give it sanction. But
it may be asked,” said Dr. Thomp
son, "Why press this matter now}
Why not now, I answer, rather than at
any other time, when the indications are
that the catalogue of those dreadful deeds
may be lengthened at a monie'it. In heav
en’s name have we not bad enough of them?
Shall we voicelessly wait until some other
citizen with gaping wounds lies cold
and dead, perhaps yourself, your husband
or your brother? “If we may not speak
now, at wbat number of God’s victims will
you assign a limit to patience and forbear
ance?”
COVET NOT THE MAID SERVANT.
Mr. Grant said: “What just moral con
demnation in the abstract should bo swiftly
visited upon him who from the baneful im
pulses of unrestricting sensual lust, first
breaking the sacred vows of is own family
home, p dluting its purity and peace aud
breaching its defense, next violates tho
spirit of good neighborhood by in
vading with like evil intent
the home aud household adjoin
ing him. Should such spirit and
such action go morally unrebuked? Th"
spoiler of his own home invading for sinful
purposes the home of another, his innocent
neighbor, which we fail to emphas.ze as we
should. “ ‘Thou shall not covet thy neigh
bor’s maidservant.’
“A man’s house, you say, is his castle.
His maidservant, by the law of the tenth
c immamlment, is, for all tho obligations of
defense, his. Now, who, self-confessedlv,
was the first invader of tne house, castle,
home, and such an invasion for a nurpose
so base. What are the moral and what
should be the legal deserts of such ail in
vader? If the well-being of society is ever
to be well established and vind ented, with
wliat holy unger and what, burning moral
indignation should such a spirit aud con
duct be clearly and sharply defined and
strongly reprobated? Within one’s own
bosom, one may learn theie, as everywhere,
to condemn as God does, and as all men
should, sensuous lust, with its sinful
progeny, and condemning them, seolt to ex
tirpate them from the heart, from society
and from the earth.
“ ‘Thou shall not covet thy neighbor’s
maid servant.’
“ ‘Thou shall not commit adultery.'”
In concludi ghisserrno iat Trinity Dr.
Wells said: “Let the pulpit speak—let the
press of the country speak—let good men
everywhere speak—let South Carolina and
the ent re country speak out in reference to
this matter, aud demand that the law be
executed, regardless of wealth, honor or
social position.”
HOMESTEAD’S PEACE.
Mutual Concessions End In an Agree
ment for Three Years.
Pittsburg, July 14.— The strike at the
Homestead steel plant and the Carnegie,
Phipps & Cos., was definitely settled this
evening, aud work will be resumed as soon
as the furnaces are heated. The terms of
the settlement are not positively known,
but it is understood that concessions were
made on both 6idos. The workmen,
it is said, have agreed to accept
a 20 per cent, reduction, instead of
85 per cent., as proposed by the
firm. The scale will remain in force for
three years, and instead of the scale year
beginning with January, as proposed by
Mr. Carnegie, it will commence upon July
1, the same as the Amalgamated iron scale.
The work of repairs will go on to-morrow,
and by Wednesday it is thought the 3,000
men will again bo working with steady
employment promised for three years.
WELAKA WAIFS.
Too Much Rain Has an Injurious Effect
on Crops.
Welaka, Fla., July 14.—During the
mouth we have had a suparabundance of
rain. The ground was dry, and no damago
has been done. Grass has got a good hold
amone crops and in orange groves. The
last three or four days have been clear.
Potatoes and peas are about planted.
Orange groves are being fertilized
for tho last time this season. It is wonder
ful how all growing crops and groves which
gave such poor promise six weeks ago have
come out. Corn stood the d’ought welt.
The orange crop is looking better every day,
but this section will not produce more than
one-fourth of a crop tnis season. Business
is dull. Two Sunday schools were organ
ized here last Sunday. Freights have been
reduced by the c nipeting lines of bats.
Welaka, by her location, is entitled to the
half-way rate between Jacksonville and
Sanford
A Marriage at Wadloy.
Wadley, Ga., July 14.—W. L. Perkins

R. Little. The church was beautifully
decorated.
There i a big revival at the Methodist
church.
A Leather Trust.
Newark, N. J., July 14. — Arrangements
are making to form a leather syndicate or
trust hero. This city is the center for
patent leather, nine-tenths of that made iu
this country being manufactured here.
The preliminary steps are being taken, so
that when George A Halsey and Samuel
Fowell return from Europe the trust will be
ready to go into operation.
Dervish Losses in Skirmishes.
Cairo, July 14. —In skirmishes with
Egyptian troopj the dervishes nave lost

There are persistent rumors In this city

in the autumn.
BOWERS OF BRANCHES.
TALMAGE TELLS OF THE MARCH
TO ETERNITY.
Gospel Arbors to Comfort Our Souls
Along the Route—Peace with God
and Man a Prerequisite to the Build
ing of the Arbor—The Great Lawsuit
of the Human vs. the Divine.
The Hamptons, July 14.—The subject of
the Rev. Dr. T. DeWitt Talmage's sermon
to-day was: “The Bower of Tree
Branches.” His text was Nohemiah viii.,
15: “Go forth unto the mount and fetch
olive branches, aud pine branches, and
myrtle branches, and palm branches, aud
branches of thick trees, to make booths. ”
Following is the sermon:
It seems as if Mount Olivet were un
moored. The people have gono into the
mountain, and have cut off tree branches,
and put them on their shoulders, and they
ceme forth now into the streets of Jerusa
lem, anil on the house tops, and they twist
tlie-e tree branches into arbors or boi s.
Then the people coins forth from tueir
or m for table homes, aud dwell for seven
days in these booths or arbors. Why
do they do that? Well, it is a
great festal time. It is tho feast of
tabernacles; and these people are
going to celebrate the desert travel of their
fathers and their dalivere.ico from their
troubles, the expodenee o' their fathers
whon, traveling iu the desert, thoy lived in
booths on their way to the laud of Canaan.
And so these booths also became highly
suggestive—l will not say they are neces
sarily typical, but highly suggestive—of
our march toward heaven, a id of the fact
that we are ouly living temporarily here, as
it were, in booths or a bors, ou our way to
the Canaan of eternal rest.
And what was saiil to the Jews literally
may to-day be said figuratively to all this
audience. Go forth into the mountain, and
fetch olive branches, aud pmo branches,
and myrtle branches, and palm branches,
and branches of thick trees to make booths.
Yes, wo are only here iu a temporary resi
dence. We are marching ou. The mer
chant princes who used to liv in Bowling
Greeu, New York, have passed away, and
their residences are now the tic! ’s of choao
merchants. Where are the me r who fifty
years ago owned No v York? l’a-sed on.
There is no use in our driving our stakes
too deep into the earth; we are on the
march. Tho generations that have pre
ceded us have g mu so far on that necauno
oven hear the sound of ttieir foot *ep3.
They have gone over the bills, and we are
to follow them. B it, blessed bo God, we
are not in this world left out of doors and
unsheltered. There are gospel booths, or
gospel arbors, in which our souls are to b •
comforted. Go forth unto the mountain,
and fetch olive branches, and pine t ranches,
and rnvrtle brancnei, aud palm branches,
and branches of thick trees, and build
booths.
Well, how wo are to-day to construct a
gospel arbor, or gospel oooth; auil how
shall we constru t it? Well, wn must get
all the tree branches anil build. Accord
ing to my text we mutt go up into the
mount and bring olive What
does that mean?
Tho Olive tree grows y.; arm climates,
and it reaches the Light of twenty or
twenty-two feet, u straight stem, and then
an offshoot from that stem. And then peo
ple come, and they strip off these branches
sometimes, aud when in time of war the
general of one army takes me of these olive
branches and goes out to tha general of an
other army, what does that mean? Why,
it means, unsaddle the war chargers. It
m 'ans hang up the war knapsacks. It is but
a beautiful way of saying. Peace!
Now, if we aro to-day going to succeed
inbuildi ig this gospel arbor, we must go
into the mount of God’s blessings aud fetch
the olive branches and whatever else we
must have, we must have at least two
olive branches—peace with God and
peace with inau. When I say peace with
God, I do not mean to represent God as a
bloody chieftai i, having a grudge against
us, but I do mean to affirm there is no more
antagonism between a hound and a
hare, between a hawk and a pulle*,
between elephant and swine, tnan
there is hostility between holiness
and sin. And if God is all holiness, and
we are all sin, there must be a read
justment, there must be a reconstruction,
there must be a treaty, there must be a
stretching f rth cf olive I ranches.
There is a great lawsuit going on now.
aud it is a lawsuit which man is bringing
against his maker; that law-uit is now ou
the eale dar. It is the human versus the
divine; it is iniquity versus the immaculate;
it is weakness versus omnipotence. Man
began it; God did not begin the lawsuit.
Wo began it; wo assaulted our Maker, and
the sooner we end this part of the struggle
iu which the finite attempts to overthrow
the infinite and omnipotent, the sooner we
end it the better.
Travelers teil us there is no such place as
Mount Calvary, that it is o ly a hill, only
an insignificant hill; but I persist in oalli.ig
it the mount of God’s divine mercy auu
love, far grander than any other place on
earth, grander than the Alps or Himalayas,
and there aro no other hills as coinpare i
with it; aud I have noticod iu every sect
where the cross of Christ is sot forth, it is
p.anted with olive branches. And all we
have ha do, is Pa g.*t rid of this w ar botwoen
God and ourselves, of which wo are all
tired. We want to back ou* of the war,
we want to get rid of this hostilitv. All
we have to do is just to get up on the
mount of God’s blessing, and pluck these
olive brandies and wave them before the
throne. Peace through our Lord Jesus
Christ 1
Oil, it don’t make much difference what
the world thinks of you—what this king,
that queen, that senator thinks of you. But
com • into the warm, intimate, glowing and
everlasting relationship with the God of the
round universe; that is the joy that makes
a hallelujah seem stupid. Ah, why do we
want to iiave peace through our Lord Jesus
Christ? Why, if we had gone on in ten
thousand years of war against God, we
could not iiave captured so much as as .vord
or a cavalry stirrup, or twisted off one of tho
wheels of the chariot of his omnipotence.
But the moment we bring this olive branch
God and all heaven come on o irsido. Peace
through our Lord Jesus Christ; aud no
other kiud of peace is worth anything.
But then we must have that otherolivo
branch, peach with man. Now it Is very
cesy to get up a quarrel. There are gun
powdery Christians all around us, and one
match of provocation wifi set them off. It
is ea y enough to get up a quarrel. But,
my brother, don’t you think yon had better
have your horns sawed off? Had you not
better make an apology? Had you not bet
ter submit to a little humiliation? Oh, you
say, until that man takes me first step I
will never be at peace with him; nothing
will be done until he is ready to take
the first step. You are a pretty Christian.
When would this world bo saved if
Christ hud not taken the first step? We
were in the wrong, Christ was in the right
—all right and forever rig.,t. And yet ho
took the first step. A..d instead of go
ing aud getting a knotty scourge with
wnich to whip your antagonist, your
enemy, you had better get up on the
radiant mount where Christ suffered for his
enemies, and just take an olive branch, not
stripping off the soft, cool, fragrant loaves,
hut leaving them all on. and then try on
them that gospel switch. It won’t hurt
them, aud it will save you. Peace with
God; peace with man. If you cannot iao
those two.doctrines you are no Christian.
Blest be the tie that binds
Our hearts in Christian love;
The fellowship of kindred minds
Is like to that above.
From sorrow, toil and pain,
And sin we shall be free;
’ And perfect love and friendship reign
Through all eternity.
But my| text goos further. It says: Go
up into the mountain and fetch olive
branches and piuo branches. Now what is
suggested by the pine branches? Tho pine
tree is healthy ; it is aromatic; it is ever
green. How oflon the physieikn savs to
Lis invalid patients: "Go and have a breatti
of the pine-! Tnat will invigorate you.’
Why do such thousands of people go south
every year? It is not merely to get ton
warmer climate, but to get to the influence
of the pine. There is health in it, mi l this
pine branch of the text suggests tho health
fulness of our holy religion; it is full of
health, health for all, health for the mind,
health for the soul.
1 knew an aged man. who had no capital
of physical health. Ho had had all the
diseases you could imagine; he did not eat
enough to keep a child alive; he lived on a
beverage of hosannas. He lived high, for
he dino.l every day with tho king. 110 was
kept alive simply by tho force of our holy
religion. It is a healthy religion; healthy
for the eye, healthy for the hand, liealthv
for the feet, healthy for the heart,‘healthy
for the liver, healthy for the spleen,
healthy for the whole man. It
giveb a man such peace, such
quietness, such indepe dence of circum
stances, such holy equipoise. Oh that wo
all possessed it, that we possessed it now!
I mean that it is healthy if a man gets
enough of it. ,Now, there are some people
who get just enough religio i to bother them,
just enough religion to make them sick; but
if a man take a full, deep, round inhalation
of these pine branches ot the gospel arbor,
he will find it buoyant, exuberant, undy
ing, immortal health.
But this pine branch of my text also sug
gests the simple fact that it u an evergre m.
What does this pine branch care for the
snow on its brow? It is only a crown of
glory. The winter cannot freeze it out.
This evergreen tree (.ranch is as beautiful
in winter us it isia the summer. And that
is the characteristic of our holy religion; iri
tho sharpest, coldest winter of misfortune
and disaster, it is as go. i a religion as it i*
in the bright summer sunshine. Well, now
that is a practical truth. Ford 1 should go
up aud down these aisles, I would not find
iu this house fifty peiple w.io had ti and
no trouble. But there arc some of you who
have especial trouble. God only knows
what you go through with. Oh, how many
bereavements, how mauy poverties, how
many persecutions! How many misrepre
sentations! And now, my brother, you
have tried everything else, why dou’l, you
try this evergreen religion ? It is just as
good for you now as it was in the days of
your prosperity; it is better for you. 41 Per
haps some of you feel almost like Muckle
Backie, the fisherman, who was chided one
day because he kept on working, although
that very day he buried liis child. They
came to him and said: “It is indecent for
you to be mending that boat wh a this af
ternoon you buried your child.” Aud the
fisherman looked up and sail: “Sir, it is
very easy for you goutlefolks to stay in tile
houte with your handkerchiefs to your eyes
with grief; but, sir, ought Ito let the other
five children starve because one of them ii
drowned? No, 9ir; we inaun work, we
maun work, though our hearts beat like
this ham > ar.”
You may have had accumulation of sor
row and misfortune. They come in flocks,
they coma iu her is upon your soul; and yet
I iiave to tell you that this religion can
console you, that it can halo you, that it
can deliver you if nothing else will. Do
you tell me that the ri 'lies aud the gain of
this world can console you? How was it
with tho man who had such a fondness for
money that when lie was sick tie ordered a
basin of gold pieces to be brought to him,
a dhe put his gouty hand* down among
the gold piece, cooling his bauds off iu
them, and the rattle aid rolling of these
gold piecos were his amusement and enter
tainment. Ah, tho gold and silver, tne
honors, the emoluments of this world
are a poor solace for a perturbed spirit.
You want something better than this
world can give. A young prince, when the
children came around to play with him, re
fused to play. He said: I will play only
with kings. Anil it might bo supposed that
you would throw aw y all other solace be
fore this regal satisfaction, this imperial
joy. Ye who aro sons aud daughters of
the Lord Almighty ought to play ouly with
kings.
The hill of Zion yields
A thousand sacred sweets,
Before we reach tho heavenly fields
Or walk the golden streets.
But my text takes a further step and it
says, “Go into tho mountain andfetefi olive
branches aud piuo bra iches and palm
branches.” Now, the palm tree was verv
much honored by tho ancients.
It had three huti irod and sixty
different uses. The fruit was conserved;
tho sap was a beverage; the stems were
ground up for food for camels, tho base of
the leave, was turned into hats and mats
and bassets; and the leaves w ore carried in
victorious processions; and from tho
root to the top of tho highest leaf there
was usefulness. The tree grew eighty-five
feet in hight sometimes, and it spread broad
leaves four and five yards long; it meant
usefulness, and it meant victory; usefulness
for what it produced, victory because it
was brought into celobraii ins ol ti iumpo.
Aud oh, how much wo want the pulin
branches in tho churches of Jesus Christ at
this time! A groat many curlstians don’t
amount to a iythi ig. You’have to shovo
them out of >ho wav when the Lord’s
chariots come along. We don’t want any
more of that kiud of Christian in the
church.
Tne old maxim says: “Do not put all
your eggs into one basket:” but l have to
tell you in this matter of religion,
you had bettor give your all to Uo.i,
and then get in yourself. “Uh,” sn. s some
one, “my business is to sell silks and
cloths.” Well, then, ray brother, soil silks
aud cloths to the glory of God. And some
one says: “My business is to raise corn
and carrots.” Then, my brother, rai-e
corn aud carrots to tha glory of God. Aud
someone says, “.vly business is to manufac
ture hor-e shoe nails." Then manufacture
horse shoe nails to tho glory of Qod. There
is nothing for you to do tnat you ought to
do but for tue glory of God.
Usefulness is typified by ,the palm tree.
Ah, we don’t want in the church any’ more
people that are merely weeping willows,
sighing into the water, standiug aud ad
miring their long lasho3 in tho glassy
spring. No wild cherry, dropping bitter
fruit. We want pdm trao<, holding some
thing for God, something for angel i, some
thing for man. Jam tired and sick of this
flat, tame, in-ipid, satin slipnerjd, namby
pam v, hlghty-tighty relig.ou! It is worth
nothing for this world, and it is destruction
for eternity.
Give me five hundred men and women
fuUy consecrated to Christ, and we will
take any city for God in three years. Give
tne ten thousand men aud women fully up
to the euris ian standard; in ten years ten
thousand of them would take the whole
earth for God. But when are wo going to
begin?
L'dyard, tho great traveler, was brought
before the Ue graphical (Society of Great
Britain, an l they wante 1 nim to make
some explorations in Africa, and they
showed him all tho perils, and all the hard
w rk, and all the exposure, and after they
had tahl him what they wanted him to
do in Africa, thov said to him: “Now,
L dyard, when are you ready to --tart ?'’
110 said: “To-morrow morning.” The
learned men were astonishod; they thought
he would take weeks or months to g>t
ready. Well, now, you toll me you want to
he earnest for Christ; you want to lie useful
in christiau service. \Vhon aro you going
to begin? ( Hi, that you have tho decision to
a,: “To-day, now!” Go dow i.ito the
mount an I gather the palm branches. But
the palm branch also meant victory. In all
ages, in ali lands, the palm branch means
victory. We are by nature (he servants of
Sat.-iu. 110 stole us, he has his eye on us, he
wants to keep us. The word comes from our
Father that if we will try to break loose
irom this doing of wrong, our Father will
Help us: and some day we wilt rouse up, and
elo I; the black tyrant in the face, and
we fly at him, and we wrestle him down,
and we put our heel on his neck, aid we
grind him in the due , and wo say, Victory,
victory, through our Lord JosusChrist! Oh
wnnt a grand tiling it is to have siu under
t "t amiwasted life behind our backs.
“Blessed is he whose transgression is for
given, and whose sin is covered.” “But,’says
the man, "I feel so sick and worn out with
(he ailments of life.” You ere going to ba
in life than conqueror. “But,” says the
more “1 am so teiuoiml, I am so pursued
man, .” You are going to be more than
conqueror. “I, who have so many ail
ments and heartaches, going to be more
than conqueror?” Yes, unless you are so
sclic.needed that you want to ma age all
the affairs of your life yourself, instead of
letting G>d manage them. Do you want
to drive and have G id take a back seat? Oh,
no, you say; I want God to be my loader.
Well, then, you will be more than con
queror. Your last sickness will come, aud
the physicians in tho next, room will be
talking about what they will do for you.
What difference will it make what they do
for you? You are going to be well,
everlastingly well. Anil wl an tho
spirit has fiod the body your friends
will be talking as to where they shall bury
yi u. What difference dcs it make to you
where they bury you? Tho angel of the
resurrection can pick you out of tho dust
anywhere, and all tho cemeteries of tho
earth are in God’s care. O i you are going
to bo more than conqueror. Don’t you
think we had better begin now to celebrate
the coming victory? In the old meeting
house at (Summerville, mv father used to
lead the singing, and lie hail the old
fashioned til liny fork, and he would strike
it upon his knee, and then put the tuning
fork to his ear to catch the right pitch and
start the hymn. But, friend, don’t
you think wo had bettor bo
c Aching the pitch of the
everlasting song, the song of vio
tory when we shall be more than conquer
ors! Had wo not better begin the rehearsal
on earth? “They shall hunger no more,
neither thirst no more; neither shall the sun
light, on them, nor any heat. For tho lamb
which is in the midst of the throne shall
food them, and shall lead them to living
fountains of water; and God shall wipe
away all team from their eyes.”
City of rternity, to Miv bridal halls;
From this prison would I flee:
Ah, glory! that’s for you and me.
The text brings up one step further. It
says, go forth into the mount and fetch
nlivo branches, and pine branches, and
myrtle branohos, an 1 palm branches, and
branches of thick trees. Now, you know
very well tnat a booth or ar or made of
slight, branches would not stand. The flr-t
blast of tho tempest would prostrate it. Bo
then the booth or arbor must have four
stout poles t i hold up the arbor or booth;
and hence for tho building of the arbor for
this world we must have stout branches
of thick trees. Ands i it is iu the
’• ’Spot arbor. Blessed be God that
wo have a brawny Christianity, not one
easil, upset. The storms of life will come
upon us, and we want strong doctrine; not
only love out jus ice; not only invitation
by warning. It is a mighty gos{el; it is an
omnipotent gospel. There are the stout
branches of thick trees. I remember what
Mr. Finney said in a school houso in this
state. The vi lage was so had it was called
Sodom, and it was said to have only one
good man in all th villigo, and he was
called 1 oOt; and Mr Finney, preaching, de
scribed the destruction of Sodom, ana
the preacher declared that God would
rain dost action upon his hearers unless
they, too, repented. And the people in the
school house sat and ground their teeth In
anger, aud clinched their lists in indigna
tion; bin before ho was through witu his
sermon, they got down on their knees and
cried for mercy while mercy could bo
found. Oh. it is a mighty gospel; not only
ari invitation, but a warning; an omnipo
tent truth, s out branches of thick trees.
Well, my friends, 1 have shown you here is
the olive branch of peace, here is the pine
branch of evergreen gospel consolation,
here the palm tree branch
of usefulness and victory, and
here aro the stout branches of thick treon
The go pel arbor is done. The air is aroma

BURSTING OF A DAM.
Two Man Drowned and Throe Others
Inlured.
Pittsburo, July 14.—Red Poud, a body
of water at the corner of Center avenue and
Boho street, in the hill district, caused by
the choking of the sewer, swept its barriers
away about 2 o’clock this morning, drown

shoulder and arm broken; William
McCluy, cut uud badly bruised
about the head and badly injured inter
nally; Joseph McCarthy, siig itly bruised
and cut, but not seriously. The pond has
been the source of much annoyance, and
fears were entertained that it would break
and wash away houses in the upper part of
Soho street. For several weeks past, a
gang of men lias been engaged in cleaning
toe sower which formed the outlet for the
pond, ad last night the men named were
at work whon the darn broke and swept
them away.
An American Pope.
London, July 14.—The Standard's Rome
correspondent says the Italian cardinals
oppose the suggestion of several foreign
cardinals that the election of an American
caidinal as pope would tend to solve the
Rome question. The pope has asked three
cardinals whether it is advisable that the
conclave to elect his successor be held at
Rome or elsewhere.

WADDINGTON DOWN ON BOULANOI3JL
London, July 14. —M. Waddiugton, tho
French ambassador here, gave a banquet
this evening to prominent members of tho
French colony. In a speech after the ban
quet the ambassador declaimed against
Buulangism. ll* denied that the Bou
laugist programme had its parallel in Amer
ica, because, he said, i America tho Presi
dont is elected not byuuiversd suffrage
but by delegates of tho states. More
over in America there was practically
no standing army, and a coup d'etat was
therefore impossible. The triumph of Geu.,
Boulanger must end iu disaster for France.
He himself did not believe that Gen.
Boulanger would succeed, but never
theless ho co isidered it necessary
for his countrymen to rally
around Prosideut Carnot in defense of the
republic.
