THE NVEEKLY CONSTITUTION. ATLANTA. GA. TUESDAY. DECEMBER 13. 1887.
TALMAGE’S SERMON.
Delivered at the Brooklyn Taber
nacle Yesterday.
TOO MUCH ADO ABOUT SMALL THINGS.
Brooklyn, December 11.—[Special].—To
night the Rev. T. Bo Witt Talmage, D. D.,
preached at tho tabernacle, this city, on “To
Much Ado About Small Things.” His text
was: “Ye Blind Guides, AVhich Strains at a
Gnat, and Swallow a Camel.” Mathews 23:24.
Tho eloquent preacher said:
A proverb is compact wisdom, knowledge
in chunks, a library in a sentence, tho electric
ity of many clouds discharged in one bolt, a
river put through a mill race. When Christ
quotes the proverb of the text, He means to
set forth the ludicrous behavior of those who
make a great bluster about small sins and
have no appreciation of great ones.
In my text a small insect and a large quad
ruped arc brought into comparison—a gnat and
a camel. You have in museum or on the des
ert seen tire latter, a groat awkward, sprawling
creature, with back two stories high, and stom
ach having a collection of reservoirs for desert
travel, an animal forbidden to the Jews as
food, and in many literatures entitled “tlie
ship of tlie desert.” Tho gnat spoken of in
the text is in the grub form. It is born in pool
or pond, after a few weeks becomes a chrysalis,
and then after a few days becomes the<nat as
we recognize it. But the insect spoken of in
tho text is in its very smallest shape, and it yet
inhabits the water—for my text is a misprint
and ought to read “strain out a gnat.”
My text shows you the prince of inconsisten
cies. A man after long observation has formed
the suspicion that in a cup of water tie is
about to drink, there is a grub or the grand
parent of a gnat. He goes and gets a sieve or
strainer, lie takes tho water and pours it
through tlie sieve in the broad light. He says,
“I would rather do anything almost than
drink this water until this larva bo extir
pated.” This water is brought under inqui
sition. The experiment is successful. Tho
water rushes through tiio sieve and leaves
against the side of tlie sieve tho grub or gnat.
Then tlie man carefully removes tlie insect
and drinks the water in placidity. But going
out one day, and hungry, he devours a “ship
of the desert,” tlie camel, which the Jews
were forbidden to cat. The gastronomer lias
no compunctions of conscience. Ho suffers
from no indigestion. He puts tlie lower jaw
under the camel’s forefoot, and ins upper jaw
over tho hump of tho camel’s back, and gives
one swallow and tlie dromedary disappears
forever. He strained out a gnat, he swallowed
a camel.
AVliilc Christ's audience were yet smiling at
the appositeness and wit of His illustration—
for smile they did in church, unless they were
too stupid to understand tho hyperbole—
Christ practically said to them, “That is you.”
Punctilious about small things; reckless about
affairs of groat mngnitude. No subject ever
withered under a surgeon’s knifo more bit
terly than did the Pharisees under Christ’s
scalpel of truth. As an anatomist will take a
human body to pieces and put them under a
microscope for examination, so Christ finds
his way to the heart of tho dead Pharisee and
cuts it out and puts it under tlio glass of in
spection for all generations to examine. Those
Pharisees thought that Christ would flatter
them and compliment them, and how they
must have writhed under tho red hot words
as he said : "Ye fools, ye whited sepulchres,
ye blind guides, wliich strainout a gnat and
swallow a camel.”
There are in our day a great many gnats
strained out and a great many camels swallow
ed, and it is tlie object of this sermon to sketch
a few persons who arc extensively engaged in
that business.
First: 1 remark, that all tllose ministers of
the Gospel are photographed in tho text who
are very scrupulous about tho conventionali
ties of religion, but put no particular stress
upon matters of vast importance. Church
services ought to be grave and solemn. There
is no room for frivolity in religious convoca
tion. But there are illustrations and there are
hyperboles like that of Christ in tlie text that
will irradiate with smiles any intelligent audi
tory. There are men like those blind
guides of the text who advocate only those
things in religious service which draw tlie cor
ners of tho mouth down and denounce all
those thing's which have a tendency to draw
the coiners of the mouth up, and these men
will go into installations and to presbyteries,
and to conferences and to associations, their
pockets full of fine sieves to strain out the
gnats, while in their own churches at home
every Sunday, tliere are fifty people sound
asleep. They make their churches a great dor
mitory, and their somniferous sermons are a
cradle, and tlie drawled-out hymns a lullaby,
while some wakefnl soal in a pew with her
fan keeps the Hies off unconscious per
sons approximate. Now, I say it is worse to
sleep in church than to smile in church,
for the latter implies at least attention,\sliile
tlie former implies tlie indifference ofrtho
hearers and tho stupidity of the speaker. In
old age, or from physical infirmity, or from
long watching witli the sick, drowsiness will
sometimes overpower one; but when a minister
of the Gospel looks off upon an audience and
finds healthy and intelligent st rug
gling with drowsiness, it is time for him to
give out the doxology or pronounce the bene
diction, Tho great fault of church services
today is not too much vivacity, but too much
somnoler.ee. The one is an irritating gnat
that may be easily strained out: the
other is a great, sprawling and sleepy-eyed
camel of the dry desert. In all our
Sabbath schools, in all our Bible classes, in all
our pulpits we need to brighten up our religi
ous message with such Christ-Jike vivacity as
we find in the text.
I take down from my library tlie biographies
of ministers and writers of past ages, inspired
and uninspired, who have done tlie most to
bring souls to Jesus Christ, and I find that
without a single exception they consecrated
their wit and their humor so Christ. Elijah
used it when lie advised tlio Baalites, as they
could not make their god respond; telling them
to call louder, as their god might be sound
asleep or gone a hunting. Job used it when he
said to his self-conceited comforters, “Wisdom
will die with you.” Christ not only used it in
tlie text, but when He ironically ct.inplimented
the putrefied Pharisees, saying, “The whole
need not a physician,” and when by one word
Ho described the cunning of Herod, saying,
“Go ye and tell that fox.” MatthewjHehry’s
commentaries from the first page to the last
coruscated witli humor as summer clouds witli
heat lightning. John Bunyan’s writings arc
as full of humor as they are of saving truth,
and there is not an aged man here who has
ever read “Pilgrim’s Progress” who does not
remember that while reading it he smiled as
often as he wept. Chrysostom, George Her
bert, lioliert South, John Wesley, George
White.;eid, Jeremy Taylor, Rowland Hill,
Nettleton, George G. Finney, and all tlie men
of tlie past who greatly advanced tho king
dom of God consecrated their wit and their
humor to the cause of Christ. So it has been
in all the ages, and I say to these young the
ological students, who cluster in these ser
vices Sabbath by Sabbath, sharpen your wits
as keen as scymetars, and then take them into
this holy war.
It is a verv short bridge between a smile
and a tear, a suspension bridge from eye to lip,
and it is soon crossed over, and asmilo is some
times just as sa< red as a tear. There is as
much religion, and I think a little more, in a
spring morning than in a starless midnight.
Religious work without any humor or wit in
it is a banquet with a side of beef, and that
raw, and >i > condiments, and no dessert suc
ceeding. I’ci.pie will not sit down at sucfi a
banquet. By all means, remove ail frivolity
and all batncs and all lightness and all vul
garity—strain them out through the sieve of
holy discrimination; but, on the other hand,
beware of that monster which overshadows
the Christian church today, conventionality,
coming up from the great Sahara desert of
eccle-iusticism, having on its back a hump of
sanctimoiii'ua gloom, and vehemently resin e
Oh, how particular a great many people are
about tlie infinitesimals, v.ldle they are quite
reck: s about the magnitudes. What did
Christ say ? Did He not excoriate the people
in ills tim*' who wi re so careful to wash t«oir
hands before a meal, but did not wash their
hearts? It is a bad tiling to have unclean
hands ; it is a worse tiling to have an unclean
heart. How many people there are in our
time who are very anxious that after their
death they shall be buried with their feet to-
ward the cast, and not at all anxious that dur
ing their whole life they should face in tlio
right direction so that they siiall conic up in
the resurrection of tlie just,, which ever way
they are buried. How many there are chiefly
anxious that a minister of the gospel shall
come in the lino of apostolic succession, not
caring so much whether he come from Apostle
Paul or Apostle J udas. They have away of
measuring a gnat until it is larger than a
camel.
Again, my subject photographs all those
who arc abhorrent of small sins while they
arc reckless in regard to magnificent thefts.
You will find many a merchant who, while he
is so careful that he would not take a yard of
cloth or a spool of cotton from the counter
without paying for it, and who if a bank
cashier should make a mistake and send in a
roll of bills live dollars too much would dis
patch a messenger in hot haste to return the
surplus, yet who will go into a stock company
in which after a while gets control of the stock
and then waters the stock and makes one hun
dred thousand dollars appear like tw o hundred
thousand dollers. Ho only stole one hundred
thousand dollars by the operation. Many of
the men of fortune made their wealth in that
way. One of those men, engaged in such un
righteous acts, that evening, tho evening of
the very day he watered the stock, will find a
wharf-rat stealing a newspaper from tho base
ment doorway, and will go out sand catch
the urchin by tho collar, and twist the collar
so tightly the noor fellow cannot say that it
was thirst for knowledge that led him to the
dishonest act, but grip the collar tighter and
tighter, saying, “I have been looking for you a
long while; you stole my paper four or five
times, haven’t you? you miserable wretch.”
and then the old stock gambler, with a voice
they can hear three blocks, will cry out, “Po
lice! police!” That same man, tlie evening
of tlie day in wliich lie watered the
stock, will kneel with his fam
ily in prayers and thank God for the pros
perity of tho day, thou kiss his children good
night with an air wliich SOOms to say, “I
hope you will all grow’ up f o be as good as yonr
father.” Prisons for sins insectile in size', but
palaces for crimes dromodarian- No mercy
for sins animalcule in proportion, but great
leniency for mastodon iniquity. A poor boy
slyly takes from the basket of a market woman
a choke pear—saving some one else from tlie
cholera—and you smother him in the horrible
atmosphere of Raymond Street jail or New
York tombs, while his cousin, who has been
skillful enough to steal fifty thousand dollars
from the sity, you will make him a candidate
for tho New York Legislature.
There is a great deal of uneasiness and ner
vousness now among some people in our time
who have gotten unrighteous fortunes, a great
deal of nervousness about dynamite. 1 tell
thorn that God will put under their unright
eous fortunes something more explosive than
dynamite, the earthquake of His omnipotent
indignation. It is time that we learn in Amer
ica that sin is not excusable in proportion as it
declares large dividends, and has outriders in
equipage. .Many a man is riding to perdition,
postilion ahead and lackey behind. To steal
one copy of a newspaper is a gnat; to steal
many thousands of dollars is a camel. There
is many a fruit dealer who would not consent
to steal a basket of peaches from a neiglt
bor’s stall, but who would not scruple to de
press tho fruit market; and as long as I can
remember we have heard every summer the
peach crop of Maryland is a failure, and by the
time the crop comes in the misrepresentation
makes a difference of millions of dollars.
A man who would not steal one
peach basket steals fifty thousand
peach baskets. Go down in the summer time
into tho mercantile library, in the reading
rooms, and see tho newspaper roportajof the
crops from all parts of the country, and their
phraseology is very much tlie same, and the
same men wrote them, methodically and infa
mously carrying out tho huge lying about the
grain crop from year to year and lor a score of
years. After a while there will be a “corner”
in the wheat market and men who bad a con
tempt for a petty theft will burglarize the
wheat bin of a nation and commit larceny up
on the American corn-crib. And some of the
men will sit in churches and in reformatory in
stitutions trying to strain out tho small gnats
of scoundrelism, while in their grain elevators
and thoir storehouses they aro fattening huge
camels which they expect after a while to
swallow. Society has .to be entirely recon
structed on this subject. AVo are to find that
a sin is inexcusable in proportion as it is
great.
I know in our time tho tendency is to charge
religious frauds upon good men. They say,
“Oh, what a class of frauds you have in tlio
church of God in this when an elder
of a church, or a deacon, or a minister of the
gospel, or a superintendent of a Sabbath
school turns out a defaulter, what display
heads there are in many of tlio newspapers.
Great primer type. Five line pica. “Anoth
er Saint Absconded,” “Clerical Scoundrel
ism,” Religion ata discount,” “Shame on the
Churches,” while there are a thousand scoun
drels outside the church to where tliere is one
inside tlie church, and the misbehavior of
those who never see the inside ot a church is
so great it is enough to tempt a man to become
a Christian to got out of their company. But
in all circles, religious and irreligious, the ten
dency is to excuse sin in proportion as it is
mammoth. Even John Milton in his “Para
dise Lost,” while ho condemns Satan, gives
such a grand description of him you have liard
work to suppress your admiration. Oh, this
straining out of small sins like gnats, and this
gulping down great iniquities like camels.
This subject does not give the picture of one
or two persons, but is a gallery in which thous
ands of people may see their iikencss. For in
stance, all those people who, while they would
not rob their neighbor of a farthing, appropri
ate the money and the treasure of the public.
A man hasa house to soli, and he tells his cus
tomer it is worth twenty thousand dollars.
Next day the assessor comes around, the own
er says it is worth fifteen thousand dollars.
The government of the United States took off
the tax from personal income, among other
reasons because so few people would tell the
truth, and many a man with an income of
hundreds of dollars a day, made statements
which seemed to imply ho was about to be
handed over to the overseer of the poor. Care
ful to paj their passage from Liverjiool to New
Y ork, yet smuggling in their Saratoga trunk
ten silk dresses from Paris and n half dozen
watches from Geneva, Switzerland, ti Hing the
customhouse officer on tho wharf, “There is
nothing in that trunk but wearing apparel,”
and putting a five dollar gold-piece in ins hand
to punctuate the statement.
Described in the text arc all those who aro
particular never to break the Jaw of grammar,
and who want all their language an elegant
specimen of syntax, straining out all the inac
curacies of speech with a fine sieve of literary
criticism, while through their conversation go
slander and innuendo, and profanity and false
hood larger than a whole caravan of camels,
when they might bolter fracture every law of
the language and shock intellectual taste, and
belter Jet every verb seek in vain for its
nominative, and every noun for its govern
ment, md every tire position lose its way in the
lenience, and adjectives and participles mid
pronouns got into a grand riot worthy of tlie
fourth ward on election day, than to commit
a moral inaccuracy. Better swallow a tliou
saii'l gnats than one camel.
Such persons are also described in tho text
who are very much alarmed alaiut the small
faults of others, and have no alarm about their
own great transgressions. There are in every
community and in every church watch dogs who
feel called upon to keep their eyes on others
and growl. They are full of suspicions. They
wonder if that man is not dishonest, if that
man is not unclean, if there is not something
wrong about tho other mau. They are always
the first to hear ot something wrong. Vul
tures arc always tho first to smell carrion.
They are self-appointed detectives. I lay this
down as a rule without any exception, that
those people who have the most faults them
selves are. most merciless in their watching of
others. From scalp of head to sole of foot I
they are full of jealousies and hypercriticisms. I
They spend their life in hunting for musk-rats |
and inu.l-turtles instead of hunting for nocky
mountain eagles, always for souu/dug mean
in oad of something gland. Ti.’y look at]
their neighbors’ imperfections through a micro- ]
scope, and look at tin ir own imperfections
through a telescope upside down.
Twenty faults of their own do not hurt them
so much as one fault of somebody else. Their
neighbors’ imperfeetions are like gnats, and
they strain them out; their own irnperfcction.s
are like camels, and they swallow them.
But lest some might think they escape the
scrutiny of Ute text, I have Ui tell you that we
all come under the divine satire when we make
the questions of time more prominent than the
quest ous of eti rnity. Come now, Jet us all go
into the confessional. Are not all tempted to
make the question, Where shall I live now?
greater than the question, Where siiall 1 live
forever? How shall 1 get more dollars here?
greater than tho question, How shall I lay up
treasures in heaven? the question, How shall
I pay my debts to man ? greater than tho ques
tion, How shall I meet my obligations to God?
tho question, How shall I gam the world?
greater than tho question, What if I
lose my soul? tho question, Why did
God let sin come into tho world? greater
than tho question. How shall I got
it extirpated from my nature? Tlio question,
>v bat shall I do with the twenty, or forty, or
seventy years of my sublunar existence?
greater than the question, What shall I do
with the millions of cycles of my post-terres
trial existence? Time, "how small it is!
Eternity, how vast it is! The former more in
significant in comparison with tho latter than
a gnat is insignificant when compared with a
Ci K? el ’ We dod S ed tho text - Wc said
“l hat doesn’t mean me, and that doesn’t
mean mo,” and with a ruinous benevolence
wo aro giving tho whole sermon away.
But let us] all surrender to the charge.
What an ado about things here. What poor
preparation for a great eternity. As though a
minnow were larger than a behemoth, as
though a swallow took wider circuit than an
albatross, as though a nettle were taller than a
Lebanon cedar, ns though a gnat were greater
than a camel, as though a minute wore longer
than a century, as though time were higher,
deeper, broader than eternity. So the text
wliich flashed with lightning of wit as Christ
uttered it, is followed by tho crushing thunder
of awful catastrophe to those who make tho
questions of time greater than tlie questions
of the future, the oncoming, overshadowing
future. O, eternity 1 eternity! eternity!
VOWS HE WAS FROZEN TO DEATH.
Captain Zoby's Wonderful Ride in the Hurd
Winter of ’39 and 'lO.
From flic New York Sun.
“Whenever cold weather begins to ap
proach,” says Ca*taia K- L. Zeby', of Union
town, “I can't help tliinkingof the remarkable
winter of ’39 and ’4O, when I was frozen to
death—frozen square, plumb to death, sir!
Nobody was over frozen any deader than I was,
but I had tho luck to bo called back to life.
And that coming back over the boundary
makes mo ache yet to think of it! I didn’t
mind tho dying. That was rather a pleasure.
But the coming to life! If I over freeze to
death again I’ll leave word some way that tho
man who resuscitates me doos so at his peril.
“That was a great winter, that winter of ’39
and'4o. And tho fall of '39 wasn't so com
mon, cither. Neither was tlie spring of ’4O.
I’ll tell you why. Tho first snow of tlio sea
son fell on October 3, ’39. Tho last snow camo
down on May 111 in '4O. Between these two
dates there wasn’t less than six feet of snow
or. the level all tho time,’and where the wind
had good chance at it twenty feet wasn't any
thing uncommon, AV e had sleighing for over
eight months, and the thermometer fcr live
months was at no time higher than twenty
above zero, while the most of the time it
sported fifteen degrees and twenty degrees
below. This memorable fall, winter and spring
I am sneaking of may not have been so
memorable in thianarLuf tho country. It was
in Now England where 1 encountered them,
and especially in Maine, where I then lived.
If they were as memorable as that hereabout,
maybe some of you will recollect them.
In February, 1840, I had mi interest in some
lumber way up in tho Piscataquis region, and
I had to go up tliere and see how things were
getting along. It was a long journey, but tho
sleighing was like glass, and I had one of tho
best horses that ever stood inside the thills.
On my second day out tho thermometer stood
at 20’ below, and was inclined to go lower. I
knew 1 would reach one of those queer little
villiages common to the Maine backwoods
early in tho evening. There I intended to stay
all night, ami drive on next morning to tho
house of the agent of tho lumber property,
twelve miles further along, I reached the vil
lage, and found that there was no tavern there.
Accommodations were offered me at a private
house, but I was informed that I could not ob
tain a drop of water for my horse in the entire
settlement. There had been no rain since
whiter set in, and tliere wasn’t a well nor a
spring anywhere in the legion in which there
was a drop of Water. Tho nearest water was
in the Piscataquis river, two miles away, to
which tlio few stock in tlio village were driven
every day to drink, and enough water was
brought back in buckets to keep tlio wants of
the villagers supplied.
“This, of course, upset my plans. My horse
was badly in need of water, and I couldn’t
think of lotting liitn go all night without a
drink. So I ate supper in tlie village and
started on, intending to water my horse at tho
river and proceed to the agent’s the same
night. It was a starlight night, but the. air
was tillciFwitli that peculiar frozen mist fre
quently noticeable on very cold nights. As
wc neared the river this haze became denser,
until finally it was with difficulty I could see
anything ahead of me. It was like passing
through a stonn of scaly ice. Suddenly, as 1
was thinking that we must be almost on the
margin of tho river, there camo a cracking
sound, a loud splash of water, and tho next
second my hor.se was floundering about in
water, which also covered the sleigh, tlrtj robes
and myself up to iny waist. In that
thick bank of icy mist tlie horse liad
plunged into tho river below where
we had boon told to cross, and had broken
through the thin ice that had formed since tlio
ice had been cut away that evening for tlie
purpose of allowing tlio village cattle to drink.
The water splashed about by the horse soon
drenched the rest of me, and in less time than
I can tell it I was coated with a rapidly thick
ening armor of ice. I guess my noble licast
mnstjiavo floundered at least a minute in that
bole before ho knew exactly what had hap
pened. When the situation did come to him
lie became quiet, threw his fore feet up, ami
lodged them both in the ice witli a coueerted
blow like n trip hammer. The ice was thick,
but beneath that blow an immense cake was
broken off and «as carried down in under tho
edgbof tho ice below. The horse swam on,
dragging the sleigh with it through the rapid
ly freezing slush. Once more ho pounded tho
ice ahead of him with his powerful fore feet,
and again the ice yielded. Duringall thistime
I was shouting for help. I might, at tho first
break, have turned and leaped back to shore,
but had not collected myself in time. It was
now too late, and even if it had not boon, I
was so stiffened by tho casing of ice that I
couldn’t have moved to save myself from
death. Tho horse kept on, and, strange as
tho story seems, broke a channel for
lift/ feet across that river, and drew
the sleigh out safely on tho other
side. And he didn’t tarry when he
got there, but started at the toji of his
K|>eed toward our destination. He soon
struck the road and away we went. J knew
that although one danger was escaped, a
greater was before us, and I urged tho horse
on with my voice. Aly robes anil clothing had
frozen so solid that if 1 had been encased in
iron I could not have been more motionless.
My horse was a jet black, but his icy coat ing
made him stand out, even in that frozen mist,
like a spectre horse. I could not move even
my hands. We were not yet half way to the
agent’s house when I found inysoit grow ing
drowsy. 1 could no«ioiiger use my voice. The
clatter of the horse’s hoofs and the cracking ot
the runners on tho ice sounded to me
like thunder claps and wford hideous
cries. 1 knew that I was freez
ing, but 1 labored hard to rouse my will ami
tight with it against my fate. The stars looked
like great coals of fire, although before they
could bo seen but dimly through the peculiar
haze. The trees, with tlrnir branches covered
with snow, took on the shapes of gigantic
ghosts. Still I preserved all my powersof rea-
Mrtilng. Finally 1 felt myo If growing delic
iously warm. A languor such ax Do Quincy
might have descrilied, with attemling visions
of loveliness, took possession of inc. I heard
tho most delightful music. Still I made one
mental effort to shake off this fatal spell, and
that was all.
“I don't know how far I was from the agent’s
house when 1 froze to death, but the next
thing 1 remembered I was suffering such tor
tures as a victim of tho rack might feel. He
never felt worse. Suddenly, at my feet, tho
pricking of a million needles as-aulted my
lle.sli. Torturing me at that spot a moment,
until 1 writhed in agony, it da hed quickly up
my leg, stopped an instant, as if gloating in
my misery, and then crawled with that awful
pain slowly upward, until it seeimxl that tiny
jots of the fiercest flame were being clown into,.
Iny body, lic.a t, and brain. Th<- intern.ity of
this agony was not constant. Ifith .d Is on I
would have died again in u short time. It
came in waves, so to speak. Each wave was
a little less furious than its predecessor, until
at last the storm was passed, and 1 found my
self a weak, speechless, limp, and helpless
mortal, lying on a robe before the fireplace of
my friend, the agent. H<> had brought mo
back to life, but, ns true as I toll you, I did
, not feel it in my heart to thank him.
“When I was strong enough to hear it, ho
I told me that ho was awakened in the night by
the peculiar and loud neighing of a horse. He
looked out of the window and saw a sight that
startled him—a ghost ly horse and sleigh and
. driver in the road before his door. Ho recov
. ored himself and went down. Then ho discov
| cred that the driver was dead. Ho quickly
carried the driver into the house, laid him oir
tlio floor before tho fireplace and recognized
' »>o. Knowing that even if I was not beyond
i all aid. nothing could be done for mo until tlio
; robe and clothing were t hawed, he made the tire
blaze and hurried to the rescue of the faithful
i and intelligent horse that had reasoned with
: itself that it must stop at the first, house it
camo to on that terrible night, and that life
and death depended on it. By the time the
horse was cared for I was in shape to be re
suscitated in case any such thing could be
done. I was stripped and rubbed briskly with
snow and snow water for more than an hour
before I gave any evidence that I might be
caked back. Then another hour was spent in
tho same treatment, when a spoonful of brandy
was poured down my throat. After that the
circulation was started, and my agony began.
That suffering lasted for an hour,' and -well,
I oan say this; Freeze to death if you want.
A oil'll like it. But don't let anybody fetch
jou to again.”
A SENSATION SroiLED.
A World Correspondent’s Story Proves to be
a Hoax.
Nkw A’ohk, December 9.—The AVorld cor
respondent, at Halifax, sent the following to
that paper last night:
Intense excitement prevails among imperial
nnlitary Oflicers tonight, over what appears to
boa deliberate attempt to blow up a gun cot
ton tank at George’s island. Double guards
are patrolling the fortificat ions and orders have
been given to watch tho wharves for men at
tempting to land, and to search all vessels in
the harbor. It lias been snowing all night so
that it. is impossible to see more than a few
yards ahead. In the center of Halifax harbor
stands George's island, it is one of the most
Strongly fortified places in tho world. H com
mands tho city ami sweeps the entrance to tho
harbor and northwest arm; it is sure destruc
tion to .any war ship attempting to enter Hal
ifax, being armed with eighty and one hun
dred ton guns, and upon it is stored tho largest
portion of tho enormous supplies of torpedoes,
gun cotton, powder, shells, and other muni
tions of war, of which Halifax is depot for
North America. The island is about an acre
in extent. On its northeast shore is sunk a
largo tank, in which several tons of gun cotton
are stored, enough to blow all Halifax to
pieces. No one is allowed upon or in the vi
cinity of tlie island upon any pretense, except
when on duty.
In tho midst of the snow storm, at 10 o’clock
tonight, the daughter of the sergeant in charge
thought she heard men talking. She went, to
the door of her quarters, and standing upon the
gun cotton tank, she heard three men talking.
She called to them, but they took no notice of
her. Then she raised an alarm. Some sol
diers wore called out and rushed toward the
tank. Tho soldiers were some little distance
away, and hearing them .coming, two of the
men jumped into the boat, whereupon tlio
third shoutod Out:
“Don’t, leave mo in tho lurch after doing
your dirty work.”
He made a spring for the boat, got in, and
the boat got several yards from the shore be
fore the soldiers reached the tank. A moment
biter the bout was hidden by the falling snow.
Tho soldiers being roused out of bed, did not
have their rifles with them, and consequently
could iml capture the intruders.
An alarm was immediately raised, and tho
informal ion conveyed to General Lord Alex
ander Russell mid staff. General Rusnell
ordered all tho wharves to bo guarded, all ves
sels searched, ami double guards on duty to
patrol tho island all night. Special guards
wore also stationed at tho gun cotton tank. It
is believed that the object of tho mon was to
bore an auger holo through the cover and at
tach a fuse. If lids liad been accomplished,
not only George’s island, with its magnificent
fortifications, but all ships in the harbor and
two-thirds of Halifax harbor, must have been
destroyed. It would have been tho most tre
mendous and terrible explosion of modurn
times, while tho loss of life would have been
appalling.
Hai.ilax, N. S., December 9.—Military
authorities hero say that the story circulated
here lust night of the attempt to explode a
gun cotton tank at George's island was a hoax.
II is said that two men in n boat in tho harbor
last night, during a thick snow storm, who
probably got out of their course, ran close to
George’s island, and were hailed by a sentry,
and warned to keep off. This has probably
given rise to the report that an attempt had
been made to explode tho gun cotton tank.
