ThaMexioana Still Retain Primitive Ways. “The inhabitants of Mexico do not make one year's progress in n hun dred,” said a gentleman who returned Saturday from a visit Into the inte rior of the country. “They still re tain primitive ways and cling to an cient customs which were old when Abraham was alive. A person does not have to go out of this continent, to see strange life and manners. Mexico furnishes a Held for the study of such things that will stand com parison with that of any other coun try. In traveling down there re cently, somo distance from ottr ob jective point wo came upon a place called San Ccdro, a beautiful stretch of country, where n Scotch syndicate hail put if 1,000,000 into purchasing several hundred thousand acres and developing it. Although the Scotch men had one of their number as superintendent, a Mr. Ross, they util ize the natives for laborers. In going around I noticed a large number of prlmlllvo wooden plows, single-hand ed affairs, having a beilin fully Ion or twelve feet long. K nowing that. Euro pean capital was hacking the on tor- prise, I expressed my surprise t hat the modern steel plow was not used In stead of the clumsy awkward wooden ones I saw. Mr, Rosa’then told mo that ho was disgusted in hisattei.'.pts to convert the Mexicans over to tho llized met hods of plowing. lie that he had furnished them with lows, such as are used in other Ties, Inti would Invariably have m returned lo him with one of the miles cut oil. Ho told mo It was impossible to get. a Mexican to use n double-handled plow, and Unit his attempts had been ho futile and un satisfactory he had concluded to let ll.oiii do plowing in their own way. Hie slngle-hamllod plow is used ex clusively in Mexico, ami it is the one, notwithstanding lls awkward ap pearance, that, tho government util izes In its agricultural schools. 1 visited ono of these schools in the City of Mexico, ami there in a field saw a number of students being taught how to bundle two of these long, single-handled wooden plows. There were eight men to each plow, and tho awkward manner in which the Instructors themselves turned the implement about did not augur woil for the skill of the students after their course was finished. The mod ern steel plow is used in Mexico, hut is never used without having ono of the handles removed. 'With all these primitive methods Mexicans have no trouble in raising thoir crops. Nature evidently appreciating their lack of progressiveness, has been kind lo them, or porlnfps the generosity of that all-kind mother is accountable Tor their peculiar mil tires ; at least,oil ground which is cultivated and irri gated, Mexicans can raise from two !o three crops a years.”—[Pittsburgh Dispatch.

Review, at the Laclede, “has one distinction, at least, and that is that it is the homo of moro United States mail con tractors than any other two or three towns on earth. We have there a half dozen or more large firms which control nearly all the star routes in the country. 1 don’t know how it hap pened that this peculiar enterprise should have sought Windsor as its base of operations, unless it was that by accident, perhaps, one YVindsorite got interested in tho business, made money at it, and others seeing his fortune piling up, fell in line.

REV. DR. TALMAGE. i rilK BROOKLYN DIVINE'S SUN-j DAY SERMON. Subject: “Laughter'* friends take loavaof n ride to the comet' enjoy a woddini Now. you mol sepulchral Text : “Then was our mouth filled with laughter.”—Psalm oxxvl., 2. “IIo that flit* teth^ In tho henvons shall laugh."—Psalm Thirty-eight times docs tho Blblo make reference to this configuration of the fea tures and quick expulsion of breath which Wo call laughter. Hornetimos It is horn of the sunshine and sometimes the midnight. Sometimes it stirs the sympathy of angels and sometimes the cachinnation of devils. All healthy people laugh. Whether it pleases the Lord or displeases Him, that de ponds upon when wo laugh and at what wo laugh. My thomo to-day is the laughter of the Bible—namely, Sarah's laugh, or that of skepticism \ David’s laugh, or that of spirit ual exultation ; the fool’s laugh, or that of sinful merriment; Go l’s laugh, or that of infinite condemnation { heaven’s laugh, or that of eternal triumph. Scene, nt» oriental tent. The occupants. Old Abraham and Sarah, perhaps wrinkled and decrepit. Their three guesta nro throo angels, tho Lord Almighty ono of them. In roturn for tho hospitality shown by the old people Gotl promises Harah that she shall become tho ancestress of the Lori JeBus Christ. Sarah laughs in tho face of God, She does not bellovo it. Rite is affrighted at what aho lina done. She denies it. She saya, “I did not laughThen God rotortod with an emphasis that silenced all disputa tion. “But thou didst laugh.” My friends, the laugh of skepticism In all ages Is only tho echo of Sarah’s laughter. God says IIo will accomplish a thing, and men say it can not be done. A great multitude laugh at the rairach s. They sty they are contrary to the laws of nature. What Is a law of nature? It is God’s way of doing a thing. You or dinarily cross a rivor at ono ferry. To-mor row you change for one day, and you go Across another ferry. You made the rule. HaVo you not the right to change it? You ordinarily come in at that door of tho church, Suppose that next Sabbath you come in at the other door. It is a Imblt you have. Have you not a right to change your habit? A law of nature is God’s habit—Ills way of doing things. If Ho makes the law. has Ho not a right to ohango it at any time Ho wants to change it? Alas! for the folly of those Who laitgh nt God when Ho says, “I will do a tiring,’* they responding. “You can’t do it.” God says that tho Bible is true—It is all true. Bishop Colenso laughs, Herbert Bpoiioer laughs, Stuart Mill laughs, great Gorman universities laUgh, Harvard laughs— softly. A groat many or tho learnod institutions, With long rows of profossora seated on the feoco between Christianity and iufidelity, laugh softly. They say, “\Vo didn’t laugh.” That was Sarah’s trick. God thunders from tho heavens, “But thou didst laugh !” Tho garden of Eden was only a fablo. There Hover was any txrin built, or if it was built It was too small to have two of ovory kind. Tho pillar of Are by night was only tho northern lights, the ten plagues of Egypt only a brilliant specimen of jugglery. Tun sea partod because the wind blew violently a great while from-one direction. Tho sun and moon did not put themselves out of the Way for Joshua. Jacob’s ladder was only horizontal and picturesque clouds. Tho de stroying nngol smiting tho firstborn in Egypt was only cholera infantum bvoomo epidemic. The gullet of tho whale, by positive measurement, too small to swallow a prophet. Tho story of tho immaculate conception a shock to nil decency. Tho lnmo, tho dumb, the blind, the halt, chro l by mere human surgery. Tho resurrection of Christ’s friend only a beautiful tableau, Christ nnd Lazarus and Mary and Martha noting their parts well. My friends, there is not a doctrine or statement of God's holy word that has not been derided by the skepticism of tho day. I tako up this book of King Jamos'n trans lation. I consider It a perfect Bible, but here are skontics who want it torn to piocos. And now, with this Bible in my hau I, lot me tear out all those portioiu which the skepticism of this day deman la shall he turn out. Wlmt shall go first? “Well,” says some ono in tho audience, “take out all that about tha creation and about tho first settlement of the world.” Away goes Genesis. “Now,” says somo one, “take out all that about tho miraculous guidance of tho children of Israel iu tho wlluernes-j." Away goes Exo.lus. “Now,” sava somo ono else In the au Hence, “there are things in Deuteronomy and Kings that uro not lit to bo road.” Away go Deuteronomy and tho Kings. “Now,” says some ono, “the book of Job is a fablo that ought to come out.” Away goes the book of Job. “Now,” snvs some oik*, “those pass ages in tho New Testament which imply tho divinity of J onus Christ ought to come our.” Away go the Evangelists. “Now,” Hays Borne one, “the book of Rovelntlon— how preposterous ! It represents a man with I he rnoon under his feet nnd a sharp sword Iri his hand.” Away goes tho book of Revolu tion. Now there are a fe\V pieces left. Wlmt shall wo do with them? “Oh,” says some man in tho audience, “I don’t believe a word in Uio Bible from ono end to the oth er.” Well, it is all gone. Now you have put out tho last light lor the nations. Now It is tho pitch darkness of eternal midnight. How do you Uko it? But I think, my friends, wo harl better koop tho Bible a little longer intact. It has dono pretty well for a good many years. Then there are old people who find it a com fort to have it on their laps, and children like the storlos iu it. Let us koop it for n curiosity anyhow. If tho Blblo is to be thrown out of tho sohool and out of tho courtroom, so that men no more swoarby it, and Jt is to bo put in a dark corridor of the city library, tho Koran on ono side and tho writings of Confucius on tho other, then let US each ono keep a copy for himself, for wo might have trouble, and we would want to be under tho delusions of Its consolntlons, and wo might die, nnd wo would want the delusion of tho oxultod residence of God’s right hand t which it mentions. Oh, what an awful thing it is to laugh in God’s face and hurl His Revelation back at Him I After awhile tho day will come when they will say they did not laugh. Then all tho liyper- orlticlsms, all the caricatures nnd nli tho learned sneers In the quurterJy reviews will be brought to judgment, and amid tho rock ing of everything beneath and amid the flaming of everything above God will thun der, “But thou didst laugh!” I think tho most fascinating laughter at Christianity I ever remember was a man iu New England. Jle made the word of God seem ridiculous, und he laughed on at our holy religion until he came to die, nnd then ho said : “My life has been a failure—a failure domestically. I have no children. A failure socially, for I am treated in the streets like a pirate. A failure professionally because I know but one minister that has adopted my sentiments." For a quarter of a century he laughed at Christianity, nnd ever since Christianity has been laughing at him. Now, it Is a mean thing to go into n man’s house and steal his goods, but I tell you the most gigantic bur glary ever invented is the proposition to steal these treasurers of our holy religion. The meanest laughter ever uttered Is tho laugh of the skeptic. The next laughter mentioned In the Bible Is David’s laughter, or the expression of spiritual exultation. “Then was our mouth filled with laughter.” He got very much down sometimes, but there are other chap ters where for four or five times he cal Is upon the" people to praise and exult. It was not a mere twitch of tho lips—It was a demonstra tion that look hold oi his whole physical na ture. “Then was our mouth Ailed with laughter.” My friends, this world will never be converted to God until Christians cry less and laugh and sing more. The horrors are a poor bait. If people are to be persuaded to adopt our holy religion, it will be because they have made up their minds it is a happy religion, They don’t like » morbid Chris tianity. 1 know that# are morbid people who enjoy a funera^J Thejr come ertrly to seethe ^corpse, and they st enl . but all healthy people irthan they do a burial, religion of Christ ^.^.Tsellke, and you make It repulsive. I soy plant the ro3e of fllmroh along the’ church wnlka and columbine to clamber over the ohuroh wall, and have a smllo oti the Up, nml hnvo the mouth Ailed with holy Inughtor. There is no man in the world, except the Christian, that lias n right to feel an untrammnlodgleo. He is promised everything Is to bo for tho best here, and he Is on tho way to n delight which will take all the processions with palm branches and all tho o r ahestras harped and Cymbaled and trumpeted to express. “Oh,” you say, “I hnvo so much trouble.” Have Von more trouble than Paul had? What does he s ly? “Sorrowful, yet always rojololng. Poor, vet making many rich. Having noth ing, yet possessing all things.” The morrlest laugh 1 think I have tiVor hoard has boon In tho sickroom of God’s dear children. Whou Theodosius was put Upon the rack, he suf fered very groat torhlre at tho llrst. Somebody nskod him how he endured all that pain ou the rnctft Ito replied: “When I was Arst put On tho .rack, I suffered A great deal, but very sooii'a'young man la white stood by my side, and with a soft and com fortable lmtldkorehlttfc ho wiped the sweat from my brow, and mj> pains were relieved. Tt was a punishment tpr mo to got from the rack, because when the pain was all gone the angel was gone.” Oh, rojolee overmoro ! You know how it is in the army—an army in encampment, If to-day nows comes that our side has had a dofeat, and to-morrow another portion of tho tldlugs eotnos, sav ing wo have, had another dofont, it demoral ises all the host. But If tho news comos of victory to-dny and victory to-morrow tho whole army is impassioned for the contest. Now, in tho kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ roport fewer defeats tolls us the vie- tories—victory over sin nnd death and boll. Rejoice evermore, and again I 9uy rejoice. I believe there Is mQi*a religion in a laugh than in a groan. Anybody can groan, but to Intigh In the midst of banishment and persecution mid Indescribable trial, that re quired a David* a Darnel, a Paul, a modorn heroine. The next laughter iriontlonod hi tho Blblo that I shall speak of Is tho fool’s laugbtor, or the expression of sinful merriment. Solomon was very quick at simile. When lie makes a comparison, we all catoh It. What Is the laughter of a fool like? Ho’Bays, “It is tho crackling of thorns undor a pot.” The ket tle Is swung, a hunch of brambles is put un der it, and tno toroh Is applied to it, and thAro lb a groat poise, and a big blaze, and a sputter and a qilidk extinguishment. Then it is darker than it Was before, Pool’s latigh- tor. The most miserable thing on erttth is a bad man’s fun. There they are—toil mori in a billToom. Thoy haVo at honio Wires, mothers, daughters, The impure JeSt starts at one corner of the barroom, udd crackle, oraelclo, crackle It goes nil around, In 600 such guffaws thoro Is not oho item of happi ness. They all feel bemoaned if they have any conscience left. Hlavo nothing to do With mort or women Wfto toll immoral stories. 1 have no conAileqCe fithor in thoir Chris* tinn character or thoir, ifidfallty, Sd all merriment tint springs out Of tile defects of others—oarioature of adnino fodt. or a otirvod spliih, or a blind eye, or a deaf oar—will bo mot with ^ho judgment of God, either upon you or* upon your ohlldren. Twenty years ago I knew a man who was particularly skillful In Imitating the lamo- neas of a neighbor. Not long ugo a son of the skillful mimlo had his leg amputated for the very Uatwet* >VhWjh his father had mimicked years before. I do not say It was a Judgment of God. I leave yon to make your own Inference. Ho all merriment born of dissipation, that which starts at tho counter of the drinking restaurant or tho Wineglass !h the homo eirdle, the mnUUIri simper, the moanlnglessjoke, thosaturnalian glbborhh, the paroxysm ot mirth about noth in.,' which you sometimes floe In thd fashion* able olUbroom dr thd exqUlsitd pnrlor at twelve d’olook at night, ard thd crackling of thorns under a pot. Huoh laughter add sUoh sin ond In death.. When I was a lad, a book came oat entitled, “Dow Junior’s Patent Sermons.” It made a groat fltir, A Very wide laugh, all Over tho country, that book did. It was a caricature Of the Christian ministry, and df the word df Godi arid df the day Of Judgment. Oh, wo had a great laugh t Tho commentary on the whole thing is that tho author of that book died irt poverty, shame, debauchery, kicked dutof society and cursod of Almighty God. The laughter of such men is the echo of thoir own damnation. The next laughter that I shall mention as being in tho Bible is the laugh of Go l’s con demnation, “lie that sltteth In the heavens shall laugh.” Again, “The Lord will laugh at him.” Again, “I will laugh at his calam ity.” With such demonstration will Gol greet every kind of groat sin and wioked- ness. But irton build Up VlUalnlos higher arid higher. God 1 iriou almost pity God be cause lie is so sohomed against by mon. Suddenly a pin drops out of the machinery of wickedness ora secret is roVealel, and tho foundation begins to rock. Finally the Whole tiling is demolished. What Is the matter? I will toll you what tho matter is. That crash of ruin Is only tho rovorbcratlon of God’s laughter. In th« money market there are a great many good men and a great many fraudulent men. A fraudulent man there says, “I mean to have my mil* lion,” He goes to work reckless of hon esty, an t lie gets his first *3*100,000. IIo gets after awhile his #200.01)0. After awhile he gets his $500,000. “Now,” ho says, “I have only one more move to make, and I shall have my million,” He gathers up nil his resources. He makes that one last grand move, ho fails and losos all, and ho has not enough money of his own left to pay the cost of tho ear to his home. People oan- not understand this spasmodic revulsion. Somo said It Was a silddOri turn in Erie Rail way stock, or in Western Union, or in Illi nois Central; soino said ono thing and some another. They all guessed wrong. I will tell you wlmt it was. “lie that sltteth in the heavens laughed.” A man in New York Said ho would be tho rlohest mart In the city, lie loft his honest work as a irioehnulc and got Into the city Councils some way and in ten years stole $10,000,000 from the city govern- mert. Fifteen million dollars ! He held the Legislature of tho State of New York in the grip of his right hand. Suspicions woro aroused. The grand Jury proseutod indict ments. Tho whole land stoo 1 aghast. The man Who expectod to put half the city in his vest pocket goes to Blackwoll’s Island, goes to Ludlow street Jail, breaks prison and goes across the sea, is rearrested and brought back and aguin remanded to Jail. Why? “He that sltteth in tho heavens laughed.” Home was a groat empire. Bho had Horace and Virgil among her poets j she had Augus tus and Constautlne among hor emporor3. But what mean the defacod Pantheon, and the Forum turned Into a cattle market, and the broken walled Coliseum, and the archi* toclural skeleton of her great aquetucts? What was that thunder? “Ob,” you say, “that was the roar of th* 'battering rams against her walls.” No. YVhat was that quiver? “Oh,” you say, “that was the tramp of hostile legions.” No. Tho quiver nnd the roar were the outburst of omnipotent laughter from the deQed and insulted heav- nns. Rome deAod God. and Ho laughed her down. Thebes deAed God, and He laughed her down. Nineveh defled God, and Ho laughed her down. Babylon defied God, and He laughed her down. Tbero Is a great difference between God’s laucrh and His smile. His smile is eternal beatitude. He smiled when David sang, and Miriam clapped the cymbals, and Hannah made garments for her Son, anil Paul preached, and John kindled with apocalyptic vision, and when any man has anything to do and does it well. Ills smile! Why, it la the 16th of May, the apple orchards in full bloom ; it is morn ing I reeking on n rippling sea ; it is heaven at high noon, all the bells beating the mar riage peal. But Hla laughter—may It never fall on us ( It is a condemnation for our sin ; it is a wasting away. We may let the satirist laugh at us, and all our companions may laugh at us, and we may bo made the target for the merriment of earth and hell* but God forbid that we should ever come to the fill Ailment of tho prophecy atrninst the rejoctors of tho truth, “I will laugh at your onlnmlty.” But, my friends, all of us who rojoct Christ and the pardon of tho gospol must come under that tremendous bombardment, God wants US all to repent. He counsels, IIo coaxes, Ho importunes, and Ho dlos for us. He comes down out of heaven. Ho puts all tho world’s sin ou one shoulder. Ho puts all tho world’s sorrow on tho other shouldor, nnd then with that Alp on ono side nnd that Himalaya on tho othor He starts up tho hill bnok of Jeru salem to aoliievo our salvation. Ho puts the palm of Ills right foot on ono Iontr spike, and He puts tho palm of His left foot on Another long spike, nnd then, with nis hands spotted with His own blood. He gesticulates, saying : “Look, look and live. With the crimson veil of My sncrlAce I will cover up all your sins ; with My dying arronn I will swallow up all your groans. Look I Live!” But a thousand of you turn LATEST DISPATCHES GIVING THE NEWS UP TO THE HOUR OE GOING TO PRESS. A Hrlof Summitry of Dully Happen ings Throughout tho World.

' The Pittsburg, sh.pped to Philadelphia. In speaking Vv H y„e and Chicago has proseu- of his examination, Dr. Gntehel made this startling observation: "Thoro is one other evil I wish to Call your attention to. That is in re gard to using tho milk of a herd of cattle on tho days immediately follow ing tho operation of dehorning. I have oxaminod qnito u number ot' ent- tlo after they were dehorned and found that the r temperature rose to 114, 106, and, in some oases, as high as 108. A poriod of oight or nine days elapsed before their toinperaturo went down to nearly the normal. During that period tho owners continued shipping the milk to Philadelphia. When a cow’s temporature runs up to 104 or upward her milk is positively unlit for use, and, I dare say, may be deadly to infants. ” The eustom of dehorning cattle is practised by a majority of the Chester farmers. Thisstateraent will probably lead to a halt tn this dehorning busi ness or to the stopping of the ship ment of the diseased milk.—Philadel phia Record. By the last census there were 2309 Japanese in thia country. ! ted a bill of $21,347. The largest item is for fourteen freight ears destroyed and fifty-six damaged. Proceedings against Debs el. al., in tho United (States circuit court at Chi cago Saturday, under tho bill filed July 2d, in holmlf of railroads represented in tho General Managers’ Association, were brought to a sudden and tempo rary clone by an order from Judge Woods.

Tho Krag-.Torgeusen rifle, which has been adopted for use in the United States army, was Beleotod as the beBt gun out of fifty-three different models. Tho gun weighs eight pounds, aud is said to have the capaoity to kill a man nt a distance of two miles. It is a breech-loader, aud has a magazine which will carry livo cartridges. The hall having a speed of 2000 feet per second and smokeless powder being used, it is claimed the bullet will kill a man before the sound of the dia- chargo can reaoh him. The peculiar feature of the new ritto which strikes the observer is the amount of wood aud the oompnratively smnll amount of metal which is displayed. Therouson assigned for tho innovation is that the barrol of the gun becomes hot from rapid firiug and tho wood is a protec tion to tho hand of tho soldier. Tha cartridge is quite small, but is larger than the hore of the rifle. It is estimated that the soldier oan oarry 175 or 200 roundB of the new ammu nition. The bullet is covered by niokel or steel instead of lead. Tho rifie is provided with a knife-blade bayonet. The first issue of the new arm will be made to two compauies of the Second Infantry nt Omaha. The second issue will be made to t :e Fourth Infautry at Fort Sheridan. The entire infantry force will be supplied by next fall, nnd the cavalry will he next supplied. The old arms will be turued into ths Government to be distributed among the various States.—Detroit Fre> Press.
