FIVE YEARS IN THE PEN
Is the Sentence Passed Upon Butler
and Quarles.
Henry Butler and John Quarles,Hr.,
wt ro sentenced Tuesday morning by
Judge Newman, at Atlanta, to five
years each in the federal penitentiary
under their conviction for conspiracy
against Henry Worley. Thoy were
convicted of participation in tlio hang
ing of Worley for reporting illicit dis
tilleries. Quarles aud Butler were
from Murray county, which was, be
fore the government got aftor them so
sharply, a hotbed of whitecapism.
Judge Newman in pronouncing de
cision said that ho was influenced to
reduco tho sentence, because ho felt
that those who were of the band that
hanged Worley were not as guilty as
tho ring-leaders, and that in addition
to this tho jury had recommended tho
men to mercy. When asked what they
had to say, Quarles and Butler said
nothing besides asserting their inno
cence.
Their counsel, Mr. W. C. Glenn,
has already prepared a petition for a
writ of habeas corpus, which ho will
within tho next few days, present to
tho supreme court of the United
States, alleging that tho prisoners are
in tho custody of tho United States
marshal under a conviction which was
made by a federal court, which has
not jurisdiction.
A report lias been received by tho
department of state from Consul Gen
eral Williams, at Havana, giving the
exports and stocks of Cuban sugars
during the first quarter of the crop of
1804 aud 1895. Tho report shows
that of tho exports 92 per cent have
gone to the United States and 8 per
cent to other countries. Of the stock
there were stored in tho several ports
of Cuba on tho 81st ultimo 318,229
long tons against 256,133 long tons at
the corresponding period of last year.
Joined tho Silver Army.
Much commotion lias been caused
in democratic circles by the bold de
claration in favor of the free coinage
of silver of ex-Judge Samuel P. Mc
Connell, president of the Iroquois
Club, the leading democratic organi
zation of Chicago. Judge McConnell
in a long and apparently prepared in
terview favors a free silver declaration
at tho forthcoming democratic state
convention.
Potteries Close Down.
Tho potteries of Knowles, Taylor &
Knowles at East Liverpool, 0., have
shut down in several departments,
throwing out of employment three
hundred men. Overproduction is given
as the cause.
National Saw Works Burn.
The National saw works at Cincin
nati were destroyed by fire Tuesday
night, entailing a loss of from §125,000
to $150,000, Insurance was $84,225
in thirty-eix companies.
WASHINGTON NOTES
ITEMS OF NEWS PICKED UP AT
TIIE NATIONAL CAPITAL.
Sayings and Doings of tlie Official
Heads of tho Government.
The president has appointed Fitz-
hugh Leo collector of internal revenue
for the sixth district of Virginia.
Matt W. Hansom, United States
minister, presented his credentials to
President Diaz, of Mexico, Thursday,
and was cordially received.
Minister L. A. Thurston has arrived
at Honolulu in company with Finance
Minister Damon. Being interviewed
on coming out of thy cabinet meeting,
Mr. Thurston said that no change
whatever had taken place in his official
relations with Hocretarv Grosham and
I hat lie knew of no foundation for tho
newspaper statements on this subject.
Foreign Minister Hatch confirmed
that statement, adding that this gov
ernment had received no intimation
about it from Minister Willis.
Assistant Supervising Architect
Kemper has returned to Washington
after a trip to Atlanta, Ga., where ho
went to look after tho new government
building. Ho expresses himself as
eminently satisfied with the progress
of the work and says it will be com
pleted on schedule time, July 1st. Mr.
Kemper bubbles nil over with enthusi
asm about tho cotton exposition when
tho subject is mentioned. Ho was
amazed, ho says, at the #atlook and
predicts that it will bo second to no
American exposition savo the world’s
fair at Chicago. “It will bo ns great
an exposition,” said he, “as the Phila
delphia centennial of 1876.”
The Nicaraguan minister in reply to
a query says: “My country has no
intention of annulling the contract
with tho Maritime company for the
construction of tho Nici ragtift canal.
On the contrary, we have every desire
to see the canal built and by Ameri
cans. Tho contract has a number of
years to run, and if it is uncompleted
at tho expiration of that time, there is
no doubt that an extension of tho time
will bo granted. I f the company shall
for any reason throw up the contract,
Nicaragua will, I am certain, grant a
similar concession to the United
States, if this country desires such
concession. ”
Great activity is being displayed by
candidates for the position yl sssistayA
comptroller of tlve trVteury, niivilo va
cant by tho death of Colonel Mansur,
of Missouri. Several of tho officials
in the comptroller’s office and a num
ber of ox-members of congress are as
pirants, Although only two ex congress
men, Bynum, of Indiana, and Wise,
of Virginia, have formally filed appli
cations for tho position. This is the
fust important office to bo filled since
the president’s letter on tho silver
question was made public, and it is un
derstood the soundness of applicants
ou that question will bo a controlling
factor in deciding who will receive
the appointment.
A bill recognizing the bolligorency
of the Cuban revolutionists has been
prepared in Washington and will bo
introduced in congress when that body
convenes in December next. It was
drafted at the suggestion of certain
representatives and senators who are
in sympathy with tho efforts of the
Cubans to throw off’ the yoke of Bpain,
and these gentlemen will use their in
fluence to pass it through both houses.
Such action on the part of the United
States would,of course, bo of immense
service to the revolutionists. It would
result in the free shipment of arms and
men to tho island in support of the
insurgents’ cause and would give them
tho moral and material support which
they so greatly desire.
It is positively learned at Washing
ton that public sentiment in Japan is
strongly turned in tho direction of
taking possession of Hawaii. While
tho native Hawuiians still constitute
the largest nationality, 34,000, to the
Japanese 25,000, the latter havo tho
largest number of male adults, being
20,000 to tho native 16,000, There
can be no doubt that a small Japanese
squadron, with 1,000 troops co-operat
ing with the resident Japanese, could
easily overcome auy resistance possible
| for nil tho rest of the population of
] Hawaii to make. The safety of this
| government against an early conquest
i by Japan must be in the protection of
I the United States. Failing in that,
! appeal must bo made to British pro-
! tection.
Olney on a Rehearing,
j Attorney General Olney filed in the
I supreme court of the United States
i Wednesday afternoon a brief upon the
petition for a rehearing of the income
I tax cases. It was not expected at the
| department of justice or ut the court
i that the government would respond
I to the notice by Mr. Guthrie of tho
1 jntention of counsel to ask a rehear-
* ing aud to the court some surprise was
! expressed at tho appearance of tho
| document. Tho attorney general’s
' brief begins as follows:
“The United States respectfully
represents that if a rehearing is grant
ed it should cover all tho legal and
constitutional questions involved, and
| not merely those on which the court
are equally divided.
“1. Whether a tax on incomes gen-
| erally, inclusive of rents and interest
j or dividends from investments of all
! kinds, is or is not a direct tax within
| the meaning of the iederal constitu-
i tion, w a matter upon which, ns on tho
; original question, the government has
: really never been heard.”
Further Income lax Orders.
Commissioner Miller, late Tuesday
I afternoon, issued an additional circa-
| lar to internal revenue collectors, in
J which he says :
“In caros of incorrect income tax
returns now filed in your office you
will notify the persons who filed such
returns that thoy must appear within
a reasonable time, specifying the date
and plnco for appearance, and correct
or explain such returns, and that on
their failure to appear and make such
corrections you will correct and in
crease tho amount of such returns,
stating tho particular corrections
which shall be made ami tho amounts
by which said returns will bo in
creased.
“Where persons and corporations
liable to make returns havo ueglectod
or refused to make returns, and where,
iu your opinion, false or fradulont re
turns havo been filed you will give
notice to tlie delinquents and to those
who made such false or frndnlent re
turns, to appear and show cause why
penalties shall not be assessed against
them. ”
Holidays lit PostofHees.
The postmaster general has amended
the postal laws and regulutions regard
ing holidays. Tlio amendment states
that postmasters may observe as holi
days January 1st, February 22ml,May
30th, July 4th, the first Monday iu
September, known as Labor Day, De
cember 25th, and such other days us
the president of tho United States or
tho governors, in their respective
states, may designate as fast or tliauks-
giving days, or proclaim specially as
holidays. On other occasions their
offices can be closed only after permis
sion obtained therefor from the de
partment, to bo obtained through the
first assistant postmaster general.
Upon holidays postoffices must bo
opened sufficiently to meet fairly tlio
public convenience. Mails must be
made up and dispatched as on other
days. When a legal holiday falls upon
a Sunday tlio following Monday limy
bo observed, unloss otherwise special
ly provided for by state authority.
SASH AND DOOR TRUST.
Tho Old Combine Revived, and nil
Advnnco In Prices Announced.
A Chicago dispatch says: Tho old
sash, door and blind trust 1ms been
revived and began business Thursday
with a membership of thirty-nine firms
representing capital of $20,000,000.
A secret meeting of those interested
yaa hold, and was not adjourned until
Jong after midnight. The trust made
arrangements for tho control of both
prices and output, and began opera
tions with a vim by ordering an ad
vance iu prices of ton per cent, and a
reduction in output of twenty ‘por
cent, to tako effect immediately. Each
aUU» paid uv on spry
$2,(100 as a guarantee or good faith,
the money to be forfeited if any of tho
concern’s rules aro broken. Tho rules
provide that the secretory of tho trust
shall bo permitted to examine tho va
rious firms at any time, refusal to per
mit such an examination rcsuHing in
a forfeiture of the guarantee fund.
Henry Paine, of Oshkosh, Win., was
made permanent chairman of tho trust
and the following board of directors
was elected: Henry Paine, H. Allen
Smith, Minneapolis, and L. B. liob-
orts, Chicago. Headquarters will bo
established in Chicago.
THE SLUGGING MATCH A GO.
Fitzsimmons Puts Up Ills Money.
Wliut Corbett Says.
Champion James Corbett has re
ceived the following telegram from his
managor, William A. Brady:
“Fitzsimmons will put his money up
Monday next, sure, and it’s a go.
Take care of yourself.”
“That settles it at last,” said Cor
bett, and J know for the first time that
the match is a go. I shall close my
theatrical dates at St. Louis, three
weeks earlier than I expected, and
after a rest of two weeks, will
go into net’vo training at An
bury Park. J am certainly glad that
the match is closed, for I have been
anxious to show the world the merits
of the two men. 1 expect to win, as I
think I outclass Fitzsimmons, who is a
clever man, and who will go into the
ring in better condition than ever be
fore. I think I know every blow and
every move in boxing and I am sure f
shall never be put out except by n
chanco blow, which is something that
might happen to an.v man.”
THE TREATY SIGNED.
The Mikado Ratifies tho Terms Agreed
to by tho Commission.
A dispatch from Hiroshima, Japan,
to the Central JVc.wn says that the
mikado ratified the Chino-.Japanese
treaty Saturday afternoon.
Advices from Berlin state that
Tho Chinese government has con
cluded a loan of 30,000,000 marks at
6 per cent interest with a syndicate
composed of tho national bank, Filer
Deutschland, Heydt A Co., and Beh
rens A Sons, of Hamburg.
RUSSIA NOT SATISFIED,
A semi-official note has been issued
to the newspapers at St. Petersburg
to the effect that the Russian govern
ment is in no wise satisfied with the
Chi no-Japanese troaty, especially the
clause providing for the cession of
Lioa-Toug. Russia, the note says, will
act in concert with other powers in
protecting the interests of Europe,
even supposing one of tho great powers
does not share in such action.
They Voted to Remain Out.
The cotton mule spinners’ union at
Blackstoue, Mass., have voted to re
main out of the Blackstoue Cotton
Company’s mill. They called upon
the superintendent and asked to re
main out Friday as the day was Pa
triots’ Day. Their request was refus
ed. Hence the action of the union,
which was in accordance with the ac
tion taken at a meeting of the New
England mule spinners’ union, in Bos
ton, several weeks ago, which voted to
have the members of tho union stay
out of the mill on Patriots' Day.
PRESIDENT’S REPLY
l'O AN INVITATION FROM CHICA-
GO BUSIN159S MEN
To Attend a Public Reception Tender
ed Him In Unit City.
Provident Cleveland linn written a
reply to tho invitation of one hundred
of tho lending ImsiueBs men of Chica
go to attend a public reception to he
tendered him iu that, oily “ns an evi
dence of their deep souse of apprecia
tion of liis statesmanlike and coura
geous notion in maintaining tho llnau-
cial standing of our nation, and
his attitude in favor of tho preser
vation of a sound national currenoy."
Mr. Cleveland’s roply is as follows;
‘‘lCxEoimvn Mansion Washington,
April 13.—To Messrs. William T.
linker, George W. Smith, John A.
Uoohe, T. W. Harvey, David Kolley
aud Houry S. Hobins—Gontlemon ; 1
am much gratiilod by tho exceedingly
kind and complimentary Invitation
you lmve tendered mo on behalf of
many citizens of Chicago to bo their
guest at a gathering in tho interest of
sound money and wholesomo tlunnoial
dootrine. My attachment to thin cause is
so great and I know so well tho hospital
ity and kindness of the people ofCbioago
that my personal inclination ih strong
ly in fnvor of accepting your llatter-
ing invitation, but my judgment and
my estimate of proprieties of my offi
cial plnco obligato me to forego the
enjoyment of participating in tho oc
casion you oontemplate. I hopo, how
ever, tho event will mark tho begin
ning of an nggresBivo effort to dissem
inate among tho peoplo safe aud pru
dent flunuoial idoaB, Nothing moro
important can engage tlio attention of
patriotic citizens, becauso nothing is
so vital to tho wolfnro of our country
men and to tho strength, prosperity
and honor of our nation. Tho situ
ation wo nro confronting demands that
those who appreciate the importnnoo
of this subject and those who ought to
bo the first to see impending danger
should no longer remain indifferent or
ovor-oonfldent. If the sound money
soutimont abrund in tlm land will savo
ns from mischief amt disaster it must
bo erystalized and combined and made
immediately aotivo, ' It is dangerous
to overlook the fact that a vast number
of our Topple with spent opportunity
flirts ' far tbexamiue Hie rplosttoil
in all its aspects, havo neverthe
less been ingeniously pressed with
spacious suggestions which, in this
time of misfortune nnd dissen
sion, found willing listeners to give
evidence to any schome which is plausi
bly presented ss a remedy for their
unfortunate condition, What is now
moro needed than anything else is a
plain and simple presentation of tho
argument iu favor of sound money.
In other words, it is a time for tho
American peoplo to roason together ns
members of a great nation, which can
promise thorn a continuance of pro
tection and safety only so long as its
solvency is unsuspected, its honor un
sullied and tho soundness of its money
unquestioned. These things are ill
exchanged for tlio illusions of a de
bused currency and groundless hopes
of advantage to he gained by a disre
gard of our financial credit and com
mercial standing among tho nations ol
tho world. If our people woro isolated
from all others and if tho position of
our currency could bo croated without
regard to our relations to othor coun
tries, its character would bo of com
paratively little importance.
“If tlio American peoplo woro con
cerned in tho maintenance of their
previous lifo among themselves, they
might return to the old days of barter,
and in this primitive manner nequirc
from each other tlio materials to sup
ply the wants of their existence. Hut
if American civilization was satisfied
with this it would abjectly fail in its
bigli and noble mission. In these
restless days tho farmers, tempted by
tlio Hssiiranco that though our curren
cy may be debased, redundant and un
certain, such a situation would improve
tho price of his products. Lot us re
mind him that ho must buy as well as
sell; that his dreams of plenty are
shaded by the certainty thut if the
prico of tho things he has to sell is
nominally enhanoed tho cost of things
ho must buy would not remain sta
tionary; that the best prices which
cheap money proclaims aro substantial
and eluKivo, and even if they were rcnl
and palpable bo must necessarily be
loft far behind in the race for their
enjoyment.
“It ought not to he difficult to con
vince tho wage earner that if there
were benefits arising from a degener
ated currency they would reach him
least and last of all. In nu unhealthy
stimulation of prices, an increased cost
of all the needs of his homo must be
long his portion, while ho is at the
same timo vexed with vanishing vis
ions of increased wages and an easier
lot. Tho pages of history and experi
ence nro full of this lesson. An insid
ious attempt is made to create a preju
dice against tho advocates of n safe
and sound currency by the insinuation,
more or less directly mado, that they
belong to financial end business classes
nnd are, therefore, not only a"t of
sympathy with the common pe- pi) of
the land, but for selfish ami w.clced
purposes, are willing to sacrifice the
int -rests of those outside thoir circlo.
“I believe that capital and wealth,
through combination and other means,
sometimes gain at undue advantage,
and it must be conceded that tho
maintenance of a - ind currency may,
sense, lie inve ed with a greater
< r less ini jortui <
cording to their
cumstauces. It
to individuals ne-
onditiou and oir-
howsver, only a
tliiYtrcnee in degroe, sinco it iH u torly
impossible that any ono in our broad
an 1, rich or poor, whatever may be
his occupation, and whether dwelling
in a oonter of finance nnd commerce,
T in n remote oornor of our domain,
can bo really benefited by a financial
schome, not alike bouofioinl to all our
pi opl), or that any one should ho ex-
cluued from a common and universal
interest iu llm safe character and sta
ble vnluo of the currency of the coun
try. Iu our relation to this question
wo aro nil in business, for wo all buy
nnd sell; so wo all lmve to do with
financial operations, for wo all earn
money and spend it,
“We cannot osenjie our interdepend
ence. Merchants and dealers nro in
every neighborhood and each has its
shops and manufactories. Wherever
the wants of man exist, business nnd
finance, in some degree, nro found, re
lated in one direction to tlioso whoso
wants thoy supply and in another to
moro extensive Imsiucss nnd lluanco to
which they nro tributary. A fluctua
tion in prices nt thesenboord is known
tho same day or hour in tlio remotest
hninlot. Tho discredit or depreciation
in financial centers of auy form of
money in tho Imn^la of the pooplo is a
signal of immediate Iorh everywhere.
“If reckless disoontent and wild ex
periment should sweep our country
from its safe support tho most do-
fousolosH of all who Buffer in that time
of distress and national discredit will
he tho pooplo, as they reckon the Iobb
iu the scanty support, and tho laborer
nnd tho workingman, as bo boob tho
money ho has received for his toil
shrink and shrivel in his hands when
he tenders it for the nocossaries to
supply his humble home. Disguise
it ns wo may tho lino of battle iH drawn
between the forces of safe currency
nnd thoso of silver monomotnlism. 1
will not boliovo that if our people nro
afforded an intelligent opportunity for
sober second thought llujy will sanc
tion schemes that, however cloaked,
mean disaster and confusion, nor that
they will consent by undermining a
safe currency to endanger tho beuofi-
ciout character and purpose of their

Ills Utterances in 1873 Compared
With His I’rosont Policy.
A big mass mooting was hold in
Lexington, Ky., Inst Thursday night
by the advocates of freo silver. Tho
meeting is tho first of the kind in tho
state and sensational charges woro
made upon the honesty nnd integrity
.of Secretary Carlisle, who is looked
upon ns tioiiig a probsVUo BaffufflWe''
for tho United States senate to succeed
.Too Blnokbnrn. Tho mooting was for
tho purpose of organizing n bimetallic
club, but the establishment of tho club
was deferred and tho timo consumed in
discussing tho financial question.
Mr. Carlisle and President Cleve
land were roundly denounced by dem
ocrats nnd republicans. Mr.Carlisle’s
utterances regarding tho demonetiza
tion of silver in 1873 were rend and
compared with tlm policy he in alleged
to be pursuing now. Ono speaker de
clared “he got something for this, and
you can guess wlmt that somolhing
was.” Ho was warmly npplntlclcrt.

Duruiit, the Sunday School Teacher,
Is Hound Over.
Theodore Durant has boon hound
over for (rial by the coroner’s jury at
San Francisco, charged with tho mur
der of Miss Williams aud Miss Lament.
Tho verdict was returned Friday.
Tho story developed before the jury
was of tho most shocking character.
Theodore Durant was assistant IS 1111 day
school superintendent of Emannnl
Baptist church, of which the murderer
nnd suicide, Jtev. I>r. Ksllook, was
formerly pastor. Miss Williams was
a pretty young girl of religions incli
nations, and Miss Lament was yet a
school girl, both being attendants of
this Sunday school, wlioro they met
and became infatuated with tho assist
ant superintendent.
Two weeks ago Miss Lnrnont myste
riously disappeared. A few days later
tho mutilated body of Miss Williams
was found ill tho library room of tlm
church. Suspicion pointed to Durant,
and lie was run down nnd arrested.

animal oil than gracious decided It, and now
through all Christendom in some way tho
Ihvt Sunday aftor tho full moon which hap
pens upon or next after March 21 Is tilled
with Easter rejoicing. The royal court of
thoHnhhathsQs made up of llftv-two. Pifty-
ono nro princes in tho royal household, hut
Easter is queen. She wears a richer diadem
and sways a more jeweled scepter; nnd in
her stnllo nations are Irradiated. We wel
come this (liioenly day, holding high up in
her right hand the wrenched off bolt of
Christ's sepulcher and holding high up in
her loft hand tho key to all the cometericB in
Christendom.
My text is an ejaculation. It ts spun out
of halleluiahs. Paul wrote right on in his
argument about the resurrection and ob
served all tho laws of logic, hut when ho
came to write the words of the text his
fingers and Ids pen and the parchment on
which he wrote took tire, and he cried out,
“Death is swallowed up in Victory!” It Is a
dreadful sight to see an array routed and
flying. They scatter everything valuable on
tho track. Un wheeled artillery. Iloof or
horse on breast of wounded and dying
man. You havo read or the French falling
hack from Sedan, or Napoleon's track of
1)0,000 corpses in the snowbanks of Russia, or
of tho five Icings tumbling over the rocks of
Rethoran with their armies, while tho hull-
si onus of heaven aud the swords of Joshua’s
hosts struck them with their fury.
But in my text is a worse discomfiture. It
seems that a black giant proposed to oou-
ciuor tho earth. He gathered for his host all
the aches and pnius nnd maladlos nnd dis
tempers and epidemics of the ages. IIo
marched them down, drilling them in tho
northeast wind, auiid tho slush of tempests.
He throw up barricades of gravo mound. He
pitched tent of charnel house. Borne of tho
troops marched with slow tread, commanded
transcendent, magnificent, inexplicable struc
ture called the resurrecetion body you will
it, I will have it. I say to you to-day
as Paul said to Agrippa, “Why should It ho
thought a thing incredible with you that God
should raise tho dead?”
That far up cloud, higher than the hawk
(lies, higher than the eagle Hies, what Is It
made of? Drops of water from the Hudson,
other drops from the East River, other drops
from a stagnant pool out on Newark Hats.
Up yonder there, embodied In a cloud, and
the sun kindles it. If God can make such a
lustrous oloud out of water drops, many of
them soiled and impure and retched from
miles away, can He not transport the frag
ments of a human body from tho earth and
out of them build a radiant body? Cannot
God, who owns all the material out of which
hones and muscle and flesh are made, set
them up again if they have fallen? if a
manufacturer of telescopes drops a telescope
on the floor, aud it breaks, can he not mend
it again so you can see through It? Vnd If.
God drops the human oyo into the dust, the
eye which lie originally fashioned, can He
not restoro it? Aye, if tlio manufacturer of
the telescope, by a change of the glass aud .a
ehangeof focus, can make a better glass than
that which was originally constructed and
actually improve It, do you not think the
fashioner of tho human eye may improve its
sight and multiply the natural eye by the
thousandfold additional forces of the resur
rection oyo?
“Why should it ho thought with you an in
credible thing that God should raise the
dead?” Things all around us suggest it . Out
of wlmt grew all these flowers? Out of the
mold and earth. Resurrected, liesurooted.
The radiant butterfly, where did it come
from? Tho loathsome caterpillar. That nl-
batross that smites the tempest with its wing,
where did it como from? A senseless shell.
Near Bergerac, France, in a Celtic tomb, un
der a block, were found flower seeds that Imd
boon buried 2000 years. The explorer took
the flower seed and planted It, and it came
up. it blomed in bluebell and heliotrope.
Two thousand years ago hurled, yet resur-
rootod. A traveler says ho found in a- mum
my pit in Egypt garden pens that had been
buried there 3000 years ago. He brought
them out, and on June 4, 1841, ho planted
thorn, and in thirty days they sprang up.
Buried 3000 years, yet resurrected.
“Why should it ho thought n thing in
credible with you that God should raise the
dead?” Where did all this silk come from—
tho silk that adorns your persons and your
homes? In tho hollow of a staff a Greek
missionary brought from China to Europo
the progenitors of thoso worms that now
supply the silk markets of many Nations.
The pageantry of bannered hosts and the
luxurious articles of commercial emporium
blazing out from tho silk worms! And who
shall be surprised if. out of this insignificant
earthly life, our bodies unfold into something
worthy of tne coming eternities? Put silver
into diluted niter, and it dissolves. Is tho
by consumptions; some in double quick, H n ver gone forever? No. Put in some wlec
aommunduil by pneumonitis. .Somo ho_took | o( 00I) ne r , and tho silver reappears, if
force dissolves, another force reorganise
by long hoslegomeut of evil habit and some
by one stroke of the battleax of casualty.
With bony lmud lie pounded at tho doors of
hospitals and sickrooms aud won all the vic
tories in all tho great battlefields of all tho
five continents. Forward, march! the con
queror of conquerors, and all tlio generals
and commandors-in-ohief, and all presidents
and kings and sultans and czars drop under
the foot of ids war charger.
But ono Christmas night his antagonist was
horn. As most of the plagues aud sioknessos
and despotisms came out of tho east it was
appropriate that the new conqueror should
come out the same quarter. Tower is
given Him to awaken all tlio fallen of all tho
centuries difd of all lauds aud marshal them
(Halve battle. When Christ shall lead forth
Ills two brigades, the brigade of the risen
(load and the brigade of the celestial host, the
black giant will fall hack, and tlio brigade
from the riven sepulchers will tako him from
beneath, and tho brigade of descending im
mortals will tako him from above, and
“death shall be swallowed up in victory.”
The old braggart that threatened tho con
quest and demolition of the planet lias lost
Ills tlirone, has lost his scepter, has lost his
palace, has lost his prestige, and tho one
word written over all tho gates of mausoleum
and catacomb aud necropolis, ou cenotaph
and sarcophagus, on tho lonely cairn of the
Arctic explorer and ou tho catafalque of
great cathedral, written in capitals of azalea
and calla lily, written in musical cadence,
written in doxology of great assemblages,
written on the sculptured door of the family
vault, is “Victory.” Coronal word, embau-
noroil word, apocalyptic word, chief word of
triumphal arch under which conquerors re
turn. Victorvl Word shouted at Culloden
and Balaklava and Blenheim; at
ftlcgiddo and Bolferino; at Marathon, whore
the Athenians drove hack the Modes; at
Poictiers, where Charles Martel broke tlio
Winks of the Saracens; at Halatnls, whore
Tliomlst.oclos in the great sea light confound
ed the Persians, and at tho door of tlio east
ern cavern of chiseled rock, where Christ
came out through a recess nnd throttled tho
king of terrors and put him hack in the
niche from which the celestial conqueror
had just emerged. Aim, when the jaws of
the eastern mausoleum took down the black
giant, “death was swallowed up in victory!”
I proclaim the abolition of death. The old
antagonist is driven hack into mythology
with all the loro about Htygian ferry anil
('baron with oar and boat. Wo shall have
no more to do with death than wo have with
tlio cloakroom at a governor’s or president's
levee. We stop at such oloakroom and leave
in charge of the servant our overcoat, our
overshoes, our outward apparel that we may
not he impeded in the brilliant round of the
drawing room. Well, my friends, when we
go out of this world we are going to a king’s
banquet, and to a reception of monarch.**, and
at tho door of the tomb, wo leave the cloak
of flesh and tho wrappings with which wo
meet the storms of the world. At the close
•if our earthly reception, under the brush and
broom of the porter, tho coat or hat maybe
handed to us bettor than when we resigned
it. and the cloak of humanity will finally ho
returned to us improved and brightened and
perilled and glorified. You and 1 do not
want our bodies returned to us ils thoy /ire
now. We want to get rid of all their weak
nesses, and nil their susceptibilities to fa
tigue, and all their slowness of locomotion.
They will ho put through a chemistry of soil
and heat and cold and changing seasons out
of which God will reconstruct them as much
hotter than thoy are now as tlio body of the
rosiest and healthiest child that hounds over
tho lawn is better than tho sickest patient iu
the hospital.
But as to our soul, we will cross right over,
nut waiting for obsequies, independent of
obituary, into a state in every way bettor,
with wider room and velocities beyond com
putation; the dullest of us into companion
ship with the very best spirits in their very
best moods, in the very best room of the uni
verse, the four walls furnished and paneled
and pictured and glorified with all thespien-
dors that the infinite Godin all ages has been
able to invent. Victory !
This view of course makes it of hut little
importance whether we are cremated or
sopulturcd. If tlie latter is dust to dust, the
former is ashes to ashes. If any prefer in
cineration, let them havo it without carica
ture. The world may become so crowded
that cremation may he universally adopted
by law as well as by general consent. Many
of the mightiest and best of earth have gone
through this process. Thousands and tens
of thousands of God’s children have been
nremated. P. P. Bliss and wife, tho evange
list singers, cremated by accident at Ashta
bula bridge; John Rogers cremated by perse
cution, Latimer and Ridley cremated at Ox
ford. Potliiuus and Blondlun. a slave, and
Alexander, a physician, and tfioir comrades,
cremated /it the order of Marcus Aurelius.
At least a hundred thousand of Christ’s dis
ciples cremated, and there can he no doubt
about the resurrection of thoir bodies. If the
world lasts as much longer as it has already
been built, there perhaps rnay he no room
for the large acreage set apart for tho resting
places, but that timo lias not come. Plenty
of room yet, and the race need not pass that
bridge of Are until it comes to it. Tlio most
of us prefer the old way. But whether out
of natural disintegration or cremation we
shall get that iumluous, huoyaut. gladsome,
Why should it ho thought a thing in
credible with you that God should raise tho
dead?” Tho insects flew and tho worm4
crawled last autumn feebler and feebler nnd
then stopped. They have taken no food;
they want none. Thoy lie dormant and in
sensible, but soon the south wind will blow
the resurrection trumpet, aud tho air and the
earth will bo full of them. Do yon not think
that God can do ns much for our bodies as He
does for tho wasps, and tho sp (lers, and tho
snails? This morning at hair past 4 o’clock;
there was a resurrection. Out of tho night,
the day. In a fow weeks there will ho a res-
surreetion in all our gardens. Why not somo
day a igaurjjection amid ail tho graves?
A trance is death, followed by resurrection
after a few days—total suspension of mental
power and voluntary notion. Rev. William
Teunout, a groat evangelist of the last gen
eration, of whom Dr. Archibald Alexander, a
man far from being sentimental, wroto in
most eulogistic terms—Rev. William Tofl-
nont scorned to die. Ills spirit sooinod to
havo departed. People came in day aftor
day and said, “He is dead: he is dead.” But
the soul returned, and William Tonnent lived
to write out experiences of wlmt he lmd seen
while his soul was gone. It may he found
some timo what is called suspended anima
tion or comatose state is brief death, giving
tho soul nu excursion into the next world,
from which it comes back—a furlough of a
few hours granted from the conflict of lifo to
which it must return.
Do not this waking up of moil from trance
and tins waking up of grains buried 3000
years ago make it easier for you to believe
that your body and mine, aftor the vacation
of the grave, shall rouse and rally, though
thorn he 3000 years bet ween our last breath
aud tho sounding of tlioarohangellc reveille?
Physiologists toll us that, while the most of
our bodies are built with such wonderful
economy that wo can spare nothing, and the
loss of a linger is a hindrance, and the in
jury of a toe joint makes us lame, still we
have two or three apparently useless pliysff
cal apparati, and no anatomist or physiolog
ist has ever been able to toll what they are
good for. Perhaps they are tho foundation
of tho resurrection body, worth nothing t-»
us in this state, to he indlsponsibly valuable
in the next state. The Jewish rabbis appear
to havo had a hint of this suggestion when
they said that in the human frame there was
a small hone which was to be the basis of the
resurrection body. That may lmve been a
delusion. But tills thing is certain, the Chris
tian scientists of our day have found out
that there are two or three superfluities of
the body that nro something gloriously sug_
gestlvo of another state.
I called at my friend’s house one summer
day. I found tho yard all piled up with rub
bish of carpenter’s and mason’s work. The
door was off. Tho plumbers had torn up tho
floor. The roof was being lifted in cupola.
AIM ho pictures wore gone, and the paper
hangers doing their work. All the modern
improvements woro being introduced into
that dwelling. There was not a room in the
house fit to live in at that tinm, although a
month before, when I visited that house,
everything was so beautiful I eould not have
suggested an improvement. My friend had
gone with his family to the Holy Laud, ex
pecting to comeback at tho end of six months,
when tho building was to he done.
And, oh, wlmt was his joy when sit tho
mid of six months lie returned and the old
house was enlarged and improved aud glo
rified! That is your body! It loooks well
now. All the rooms tilled with health,'and
we could hardly make a suggestion. But
after awhile your soul will go to the Holy
Land, and while you are gone tlio old bouse
of your tabernacle will be entirely recon
structed from cellar to attic, every nerve,
muscle and hone and tissue aud artery
must be hauled over, and tlm old
structure will be burnished and adorned
and raised and coupolaod and enlarged,
and all the improvements of heaven intro
duced, and you will move into it ou resurrec
tion day. “For wo know that, if our earthly
house of this tabernacle were dissolved, wo
lmve a building of God, a house not mado
with hands, eternal in the heavens.” Oh.
what a day when body and soul meet again!
They are very fond of each othor. Did
your body ever have a pain and your
soul not re-echo it? Or, changing the
question, did your soul ever lmve any
trouble and your body not sympathize
with it, growing wan and weak under
the depressing influence? Or did your
soul ever have a gladness but your body
celebrated It with kindled oyo nnd cheek and %
elastic step. Hu rely God never intended two
such good friends to he very long separated.
And so when tho world's last Easter morning
shall como the soul will descend, crying,
“Where is my body?” And tlio body will
ascend, saying, “Where is my soul?” Aud
the Lord of tho resurrection will bring them
together, and it will bo a perfect soul in a
perfect body, introduced by a perfect Christ
into a perfect heaven. Yictory!
