To refute those Rian dors and blasphemies how Ro phoValont nnd to sprbkd but boforrttlte Christian world tha CQntfndt batweeri tddlntrons and Chris tian bouulHes t preach this third sermon in m.V round the world series. In thin discourse I take you to the vary headquarters of heathendom, to tho very capital of Ktndootsro,for what Mecca la to the MohammedsD, and what Jerialom is to the Christian, llenaros, turtid, in tb the Hindoo. Wo arrival there In the eVehifcg; ith.i the next morning wo startl'd blit early, among other things trt see Iho burning of the do id. Wo saw it, cremation, not ns many good pooplo in \ norlea and England are now ad vocating it—namely tho burning of the dead in clean nnd orderly and refined crematory, tho hot furnace soon reducing tho human form to a powdertobo carefully prosorve l in an urn-but cremation ns thd Hindoos practice It. Wo got into a boat nnd were rowed down the river Ganges until wo came opposite to whore five dead bodies lay, four of thbm wo men wrapped In red garments and a mnn* wrapped In white. Our boat fastened, wo waitod nnd watohub High piles of Wool were oh the bank, and this woo l Is carefully weighed on largo scales, according as tho friends of tho deceased cart afford to pay for it. In many cases only a few sticks onn bo afforded, and tho dead body is burned only a little an 1 tbon thrown into tho Ganges. But where tho relatives of the deceased are well to do an abundance of wood in pieces four or flvo feet long is puridiused. Two or throe layers of stioks are then put on the ground to receive tho dead form. Small pieces of sandalwood ate ihaerte 1 to pro duce fragrance, The decertso l is lilted from tho resting place and put upon this wood. Then tho cover is rctrioVed from the faeo of thacorpse, ftn 1 it is bathed with water of tho Gauges, Then several moro layers ol wood aro put upon the body, and other sticks aro placed on both sides of it, hut tho head nnd feet aro left exposed. Tbnu a qumtity of grease sufficient to make every thing in ft immable Is put on the wood and into the mouth oT t ho dead. Then one of tho richest men In Benares, Ills fortune mado in this way, furnishes the fire, an.l aftor the priest has mumb’ id a few words, tho eldest son walks three times around the sacred pile and then applies tho torch, nnd the flro blnues up, and ift A short time the body has become the ashes Which the rela tives throw Into the Ganges. Benares is Imposing in the distance as}*ou lrtok at it from tho other side of tho Ganges. Tho forty-seven ghats or flights of stone Steps, reaching from tho water’s edge to tho bulldinge high up on the banks, mark a r dace for tho ascent and descent of tho sub- Imitfos. The eye is lost in tho bewilder ment of tombs, shrines,- minarets, palaeosund temples. It is tho glorification or stops, the triumph of stairway-’. But looked lit clOflO by the temp'es, though large und expensive, are anything but attractive. Tho Eoeinlng gold in many cases turns out to ho brass.

The air itself Is asphyxiated. H ro wo see mon making gods out of mud nnd then put ting their hands together in worship of that which themselves hnvo mado. Sacred cows walk up and down tho teraolo. Hero stool a fakir with a right arm uplifted and for so long a timo that ho could not take it down, nnd tho nails of tho hand had grown until they loo’cod like serpent* winding in and around the palm. Tho god of tho Golden temple is Siva, or the poison god. Devils wait upon him. Ho is tho god of war, of famine, ot pestilence. Ho is tho destroyer. Ho has around tils nook a string of skulls. Before him bow men whose hair never know a comb. They cat carrion and that which is worse. Bells niul drums hero sot up a racket. Pilgrims como from hundreds of nillus away, sp *u I- Ing their last piece of money and exhausting their last item of strength in order lo roach this Golden templo, glad to die in or near it and have the ashes of their bodies thrown into the Ganges. AVetoolc a carriage and went still farther on to see tho Monkey temple, so called be cause in nnd around the bull ling monkeys abound and aro kept as sacred. All evolu tionists should visit this templo depoto.l to tho family from which their ancestors came. These monkeys chatter nnd wink and climb nnd look wise and look- silly and have full possession of tho place. We were asked at the entrance of tins templo to take off our shoes because of the sac red ness of the place, but a small contribution placed in tho han i of the attendant resulted In a permission to enter with our shoos on. As tho Golden temple U dedicated to Hivn, tho poison god, this Monkey templo is deHeated to .Siva’s wile, a d fill css that must bo propitiated, or she will disease and blast nni destroy. For centuries this spitfire has been worshiped. She is tho goddess ot scold and slap and termugnney. Mho is supposed to be a super natural Xantippe ; hence to her aro brought flowers and rice, and hero and thero tho flowers arc spattered with tho blood of goats slain in sacrifice. As we walk to-day through this Monkey temple wo must not bit or tease or hurt one of them. Two Englishmen years ago lost their lives by the maltreatment of a monkey. Passing along one of thes * Indian btroots, a monkey did not soon enough (jet out of the way, and or.a of these Englishmen struck it with his cane. Immediately the people aud a-aaoaa T IK* x* . i the priests gathered around these strangers, $<>00,000 Loss and .Many Men Out of j and the.public wrath increased until tho two Job. Englishmen were poundo i to death for hav ing struck a monkey. No land in all the world so reveres tho monkey as India, tvt no other land Irtis a temple called niter it. One of the rajahs of India spent 100,000 A ppecial from Seattle, Wash., says: Tho whole Newcastle coal mine ap pears to be on fire, and it is feared the whole mine will become a wreck, in- \ ™^j®,* volving a lose of $500,000 to tho Ore- n * gon Improvement Company.

About 250 men are made idle TO TEST THE INCOME TAX. New York Merchants Employ Coun sel for That Purpose.

But, after all, j while we cannot approve of the Monkey j temple, tho monkey is sacred to hilarity. J I defy any oue to watch a monkey one I minute without laughter. Why was this creature made? For the world's amuso- | inimt. The mission of some auimats is Jeft • doubtful, and we cannot see tlio us j of this or that quadruped or this or that Insect, but the mission ot iho ape is certain—all arouu 1 j the world it entertains.
