REY. DR. TALMAGE. THE NOTED DIVINE’S SUNDAY DIS COUItSK. Subject: “Vicarious Sacriflco.” Terr: “Without shedding of blood is no remission."—Hebrews ix., 22. John G. Whittier, the last of the great sehool of American poets that made tho lost quarter of a century brilliant, asked mo in tho White Mountains one morning attor prayers, in which I had given out Oowpor’s famous hymn about tho “fountain filled With blood,” “L'o yon really believe there is n litoral application of tho blood of Christ to the soul?” My negative reply then is my negative reply now. The ISlblo statement ngrees with all physicians and all physiol¬ ogists and all scientists in saying that the blood is the life, and in liie Ohristlnn religion it means simply that Christ’s life was given for life. Honco all this talk of men who say tho Bible story of blood is they disgusting, and that they don’t want what call a “slaughter house religion,” only shows their incapacity or unwillingness to look through the figure of speech toward the thing signified. The blood that outhe dark¬ est Friday the world ever saw oozed or triokled or poured from the brow, and tho side, and the hands, and the feet of the illustrious sufferer, back of Jerusalem, in a few hours coagulated and dried up and for¬ ever the disappeared, and if man had depended on Christ there application would of tho literal blood of not have bseu a soul saved for the last eighteen centuries. In ordor to understand this red word of my text we only have to exerciso as much common sense iu religion as we do in every¬ thing else. Paug for pang, hunger for hungor, fatigue for fatigue, tear for tear, blood for blood, life for life, we see every day illustrated. The act of substitution is though no novelty, idea although I hear men talk as the of Christ’s suffering sub¬ stituted for our suffering were something abnormal, something distressingly odd, something wildly eocent-rio, a solitary episode in the world's history—when I could take you out into this city und before sun¬ down point you to five hundred cases of sub¬ stitution aud voluntary suffering of one in behalf of another. At 2 o’clock to-morrow afternoon go among the places ot business or toil. It will be no difficult thing for you to find men who by their looks show you that they are over¬ worked. They are prematurely old. They are hastening rapidly toward their decease. They have gone through crises in business that shattered their nervous system and pulled on the brain. They have a shortness of breath and a pain in the back of the head and at night au insomnia that alarms them. Wny are they drudging at busino3S earlv and late? For fun? No. It would be difficult to extract any amusement out> of that ex¬ haustion. Because they are avaricious? In many cases no. Because their own personal expenses are lavish? No. A few hundred dollars would meet all their wants. Too simple fact is the man is enduring all that latigue and exasperation and wear and tear to keep his home prosperous. There is an invisible line reaching from that store, from that bank, from that shop, from that scaf¬ folding, to a quiet scene a few blocks away, a few miles away. And there is the secret of that business endurance. He is simply the champiop of a homestead for which he wins bread a .d wardrobe and education and prosperity, fall. and in such battle 10,090 men Of ten business men whom I bury nine die of overwork for .others. Some sudden i disease finds them with no power of resist¬ ance, and they aro gone. Life lor life. Blood lor blood. Substitution! At 1 o’clock to-morrow morning, tho hour when slumber is most uninterrupted and most profound, walk amid tho dwelling houses of the city. Here aud there yotTwili find a dim light because it is tho household custom to keep a subdued light burning, but most of the houses from base to top are as dark a 3 though uninhabited. A merciful God has sent forth the archangel of sleep, and he puts his wings over the city. But yonder is a clear light burning, and outside on the window casement is a glass or pitcher containing food for a sick child. The food is set in the fresh, air. This is the sixth night that mother has sat up with that suf¬ ferer. She has to the last point obeyed the physician’s prescription, not giving’a drop too muoh or too little or a moment too soon or too lato. She is very anxious, for she has burled three children with the same disease, •and she prays and weeps, each prayer and sob ending with a kiss of the psite cheek. iBy dint of kindness she gets the little one 'through the ordeal. After it is all over the mother is taken down. Brain or nervous fever sets in, and one day she leaves the con¬ valescent child with a mother’s blessing and goes up to join the three in the kingdom of heaven. Life for life! Substitution! The factis that there are an uncounted number ,of mothers who, after they have navigated a large family of children through all the dis¬ eases of infancy and got them fairly started up the flowering slope of Boyhood aud girlhood have only strength enough left to die. They fade away. Some call it consumption. Some call it nervous prostration. Some call it 1 intermittent or malarlal.indisposltion. But call it martyrdom of the domestic circle. Life for life. Blood for blood, Substitn- tion! Or perhaps the mother lingers long enough to see a son get on the wrong road, nnd his former kindness becomes rough reply when she expresses anxiety about him. But she goes right on. looking carefully af¬ ter his apparel, remembering his every birth¬ day with some memento, and, when he is brought him home till he worn out well with and dissipation, him uurse 3 gets starts again and hopes and expects and prays and couuselsand suffers until her strength gives out and she fails- She is going, and atten¬ dants, bending over her pillow, as 1 : her if she has any message to leave, an '. she makes great effort to say something, but out of three or four minutes of indistinct utterance they boy!” can catch but three words, “My poor The simple fact is she died for aim. Life for life. Substitution! About thirty-six yeats ago there went forth from our northern aud southern homes hun¬ dreds of thousands of men to do'battle for their country. AH the poetry of war soon vanished and left them nothing but the ter¬ rible prose. They waded knee deep in mud. They slept in snow-banks. They marched till their cut feet tracked the earth. They were swindled out of their honest rations and live t on meat not fit for a dog. They had jaws all fractured and eyes extinguished and limb 3 shot away. Thousands ot them cried for water as they lay dying on the field the night after the battle and got it not. They were homosiek and received no mes¬ sage from their loved ones. They died in barns, in bushes, iu ditches, the buzzards of the summer heat the only attendants on their obsequies. No onebut the Infinite God, who knows everything, knows tho ten-thou¬ sandth part of the length and breadth and depth and height of the anguish of the northern and southern battlefields. Why did these fathers leave their children and go to the front, and why did these young men, postponing probabilities the marriage day, start out into For the of never comiug back? the country they died. ■ Life ior life. Blood for blood. Substitution! But we need not go so far. What is that monument in Greenwood? It is to the doe- tors who fell in the southern epidemics. Why go? Were there not enough sick to bo attended in these northern latitudes? Ob, yes! But the doctor puts a few medical books in liis valise, and patients some vlais of in medi¬ cine, and leaves his hero the hands of other physicians and takes the rail train. Before he gets to the infeeted regions he passes crowded rail trains, affrighted regular , and extra, takingtheflying and city which popu¬ lations. He arrives iu a over a great horror is brooding. He goes from couch to couch, feeling; of the pulse and 1 studying symptoms after aud night, prescribing uutil Pay feilow tvf- | ter day, night hud a better! physician says: “Doctor, you go home aud rest. You look this-] tumble.” But ho cannot rest while so | many ‘aro snfforlnm On ami on until some morning finds him In a delirium, In which ho talks of home, and then rises and says ho must bo und look after those pati¬ ents. He Is told to lie down, but he llehts his attendants until ho falls back nnd is woakerand weakor, and dies for people with whom he had no kinship, nnd far away from htsown family, and Is hastily put away In a stranBor’s tomb and only the fifth part of a newspaper line tells us of his sacrifice—his name just mentioned anions five. Yet he has touched tho farthest height of sublimity in that three weeks of humanitarian service. He bobs stralsht 03 an arrow to tho bosom of Him who said, “‘I was sick, and ye vis¬ ited Me.” Life for life. Blood for blood. Substitution! In tho local profession I see the same prin¬ ciple of self snerlfioo. In 1810 William Froo- man, a pauperized and idtotlo negro, was at slain Auburn, tho N. Y., on Van trial for family. murder. The Ha had entire Nest foam- ins wrath of the community could be kept off him only by armed constables. Who would volunteer to be his counsel? No attorney wanted to sacriflco his popularity by such an ungrateful ta 3 k. All were silent savoone—a young lawyer with feeble voice that could hardly be hoard outside the bar, H. pale Seward, and thin and awkward. It was William who saw that tho prisoner was idiotio and irresponsible nnd ought to be put In an asylum rather than put to death, tho heroio counsel uttering these beautiful words: "I speak now in the hearing of a people who demned have prejudged pleading prisoner In his behalf. and con¬ me for He is a convict, a pauper, a negro, without intel¬ lect, sense or emotion. My child with an affectionate smile disarms my careworn face of its frown whenever I cross my threshold. The beggar in the street obliges me to give because he says, ‘God ble«s you!’ as I pass. My dog caresses me with fondness if I will but smile on him. My horae recognizes me when I fill his tnaager. What reward, what gratitude, tion I what expect sympathy here? There and the affec- cau Look him. Look pris¬ oner sics. at at the assem¬ blage around you. Listen to their lit sup¬ pressed censures and their excited fears and tell mo whore among my neighbors or my fellow men, where oven tn his heart I can expect to find a sentiment, a thought, not to say of reward or of acknowledgment, or oven think of of recognition? evidence Gentlemen, what you please, may this you bring in what verdict you can, but I assev- erato before hoaveu and you that, to the best of iny knowledge and belief, the pris¬ oner at the bar does not at this moment know why it is that my shadow falls on you instead of his own.” The gallows got its viciim, but the post mortem, examination of the poor creature showed to all the surgeons aud to all the world that the public was wrong, that Will¬ iam H. Seward was right and that hard, stony step of obloquy iu the Auburn court¬ room was the first step of tho stairs of fame up which he went to the top, or to within one step of the top, that last denied him through the treachery of American politics. Nothing sublitner was ever seen in an Amer¬ ican courtroom than William H. Seward, without reward, standing between the fury of the populace aud tho loathsome imbecile. Substitution! In the realm of tho flue arts there was as remarkable an instance. A brilliant but hyperoriticised painter, volley Joseph William Turner, was met by a of Europe. of abnso His from all the art galleries paint¬ ings, which have since won the applause of ad civilized nations—“The Fifth Plague of Egypt.” Squally Weather,” “Plshermcu “Calais on a Pier.” Lee Shore “The In Sun Rising Through Mist” aud “Dido Building Carthage"—wore then targets for critics to shoot at. In defense of this out¬ rageously abuse! man a young author of twenty-four years, just one year out of college, came forth with his pea and wrote the ablest and most famous essays on art that the World ever saw or ever will see—John Buskin’s “Modern Pain¬ ters.” For seventeen years this author fought tho battles of the maltreated artist, and after, in poverty and broken hearted¬ ness, the painter had died and the public tried to undo their cruelties toward him. by giving him a big funeral and burial in St. Paul’s cathedral, his old-time friend took out of a tin box 19,000 pieces of paper con- taining drawings by the old painter, and through many weary and uncompensated months assorted and arranged them for pub- l(o observation. Peoplo say John Buskin in his old days is cross, misanthropic and morbid Whatever he may do that he ought not to do, and whatever ho may say that ha ought not to say between now and his death, he will leave this world insolvent as far as it has any oapaoity to pay this author’s pen for its chivalrlo and Christian defense of a poor painter’s Blood pencil. for John bloo.d. Buskin Substitution! for Will- iam Turner. All good men have for centuries been try- ing to tell whom this substitute whs like, and every oompariston, inspired apostolic nnd unln- spired, evangelistic, prophetic, Christ the Great aud liumau falls short, for was Unlike. Adam a typo of Christ, because he fromthe'dolugejMelchisedeeatypeof predecessor Christ, becausa he had no or successor; Joseph Chrisrb^au^h“uk?ver?rtfo a type of Christ, bocatisa he was t nb?nS- age; Samson a type of Christ, because of his strength to slay tho lions and carry off the iron gates of impossibility; nlTtuenco of Solomon dominion; a type ct Christ in the his Jonah a type of Christ, because of the stormy sea in which lie threw himself for tho rescue of othera. iiut put together Adam and Noah andMelchisedec and Joseph and Moses and Joshua ancl Samson and Solomon and and thsy would not make a fragment of a Christ, a quarter of a Christ, the half of a Christ or the millionth part of a Christ. He forsook a throne and sat down on His own footstool. He came from the top of glory to the bottom of humiliation and ohange l a cireuaiferonee seraphic waited for by a circumference diabolic. Once on angels, now hissed at by the brigands. From afar and hign up He came down; past meteors swifter than they; by starry thrones, Himself mere lustrous; past larger worlds to smaller worlds; down stairs of firmaments, aud from cloud to cloud and through tree tops and into the camel’s stall, to thrust His shoulder under our burdens and take the lanees of pain through His vitals, and wrapped Himself in all the agonies which we deserve for our misdoings and stood on the splitting decks of a foundering vessel amid the drenohing surf of the sea and passed midaight8 on tho mountains amid wild beasts of prey and stood at the point where all earthly and infernal hostilities oharged on Him at once with their koensabre3—our Substitute! When did attorney ever eaduro so muoh for a pauper client or physician for the pa¬ tient iu tho lazaretto or mother for the child in membranous croup, as Christ for us, as Christ for you, as Christ for mo? Shall any man or woman or child in this audience who has ever suffered for another Audit hard to understand this Christly suffering lor us? Shall those whoso sympathies have beea wruug in behalf of tho unfortunate have no appreciation of that one moment which was lifted out of all the ages of eternity ns most conspicuous when Christ gathered up all the sin 3 of those to be redeemed under His one arm, and all his sorrows under His other arm nnd said: "I will ntone for these under My right arm and will heal all those under My left arm. Strike Me with all thy glitteriug shafts, O eternal justice! Boll of over Me with alt thy surges, ye ooeans sor.rqiv!" Aud the thunderbolts struck Him from above, and the seas of trouble rolled up from beneath, hurricane after hurricane, and cyclone in after cyclone, and and then and there the presence of heaven earth and hell—yea, all worlds witnessing—the price, the bitter price, glorious thettansceudent the price, in¬ the awful price, the price, finite price, the eternal price, .was paid that sets us free.

AMERICA’S EIRST. JEANETTK WAS THE PIO’»KJSR ELEPHANT OF AMERICA- Death of tho Old Tlenst Said to Have Come to This Country In 1823 and to Have Had Forty or More Owners. J EANETTE, au elephant which most showmen believe to Lave been tho oldest in the United States and the first ever brought to America, is dead at Peru, Ind. Her age is known to have been 11G years. The Chicago Timos-Herald says she has been a tenant of menageries in this country since 1824. Jeanette really died of old age. Her skin was wrinkled and drawn and her m. tpIIi HP® rP. AMERICA’S PIONEER ELEPHANT. eyes had that peculiar lackluster ap¬ pearance which always accompanies decrepit old age. Jeanette had passed through tho hands of so many show¬ men that to anyone of these her entire history is practically unknown. She came in possession of her last owner in 1885. Previous to that time, it is estimated by those who know scraps of the aged elephant’s career, she had been owned by at least forty different persons. She was of African birth and was sold for a bagful of gold. Anyone who saw her, and was familiar with elephants, would know in an instant that she was an African. Her ears were of the enormous, “umbrella” kind, which make elephants look not unlike huge foxhounds. The first that was known of Jeanette in this country was in 1823. At that time an agent of au American menag¬ erie was in England, and there saw the elephant, in company with a number of others just arrived from the Cape, as Africa ts termed iu Britain. Bbe had been employed as a working ele¬ phant for some time in Africa previous < u W Hr *ii j n V iWMfc: , Mi m ■X'"> SETTLING AN OLD SCORE. WEAKNESS FOR LEMONADE.

At- »*■ ter a while patronage began to slacken a bit, however, and Jeanette’s owner, i had 10n lon<* ? «»o a » 0 felven (riven uo up the uQe idea ae of placing , her in any menagerie except THE DUEL. his own, put her in a wagon that was considered a triumph of architectural skill, and with just enough other things to justify him in calling his outfit a menagerie started out to tour the east. Jeanette’s fame spread far and wide, and alter exhibiting her until he hud made his fortune her owner sold her to a menagerie. How often she changed hands after that even the best posted menagerie and cireus man refuses to estimate, beyond the fact that it was at least forty times. It is certain, however, that there has been no prominent menagerie in the cottn- try in the last half century which has not had a claim on Jeanette at one time or another. When elephants be¬ gan to be common Jeanette’s fame faded. She was probably vtorld the most traveled elephant the ever kia\v. The fact that she fell from the pt* estal of fame so many years ago cli l not soar her temper, for she was always considered a special pot by m ft ...... THE PtlNEItAIj. everyone who ever had anything to do with her. Although possessed of this good nature, she was resentful of fanoied or real injuries, and if she once took a dislike to a person woe betide that unfortunate ventured within individual if he ever reach of her trunk. Jeanette had an antipathy to a painter named Fraser, which seemed to turn her against all painters. Once she broke loose and discovered a gang of painters outside the gate on their way from work to dinner. She gave a shrill warning and thundered after them. They ran as fast as they could, but Jeanette gained so rapidly that they were forced to take refuge in a barn, the great doors of which swung right open. Jeanette pressed them so hard that they climbed up into the haymow, and there the elephant kept them until their cries for help brought aid. Jeanette was not a large elephant. She weighed only three tons. She had a persuasive way, however, when¬ ever she took after anyone. To tell the complete story of her escapades would be an almost endless task. The greater portion of them were good- natured, and she was never known to really hurt anyone who had not in¬ jured her. It was a favorite pastime of hers whenever she broke loose in the menagerie tent to make for tfie lemonade venders, put them to flight and drink all their lemonade. This she seemed to consider a most delight¬ ful treat. The same method of treat¬ ment was applied to the men and boys who dispensed candy, and Jeanette appropriated so much of their stock that they grew to be afraid to venture near her. The people of Pern mourn for Jean¬ ette. She was one of the sights of the town during the winter season, and was a friend of two-thirds of the lation. Her funeral was as largely at¬ tended as that of the most prominent citizen would have been. She was only an elephant, but it is something to have been a good elephant. Bismarck is Bored.
