Bbo<Act.yn, N. Y.» October 11.—[Special.]—. At the Tabernucle this morning, the Rev. T. OcWitt Talma!>.]>., took for his text, Acts chapter 11, verses I'.) and 20. *‘llo drew out his sw< rd, and would have killed himself, lupnosing that the prisoners had been fled. But Paul < ried with a loud voice, saying, bo thyself no harm.” The sermon was as fol lows : Jb re is a would-be suicide arrested in his deadly attempt. Ho was a sheriff, and accord ing to the Roman law, a bailiff himself must Buffer the punishment due an escaped prisoner; and if the prisoner breaking jail was sentenced tn be rndunßC'jncd for throe or four years, then tho sheriff must be e.ndnngooned i<»r three or four years: and if tho prisoner breaking jail was to ha .<; suffered capital punishment, then tho shcii.i must suffer capital punishment. The sheriff had received especial charge to keep a sharp lookout for Paul and Silas. The government had not had confidence in bolts and burs to keep safe these two clergymen, about whom there seemed to be something Strange and fiupt i natural. Sure enough, by miraculous power, they are free, and th<* sheriff, waking out of a sound sleep, and j.upposing tb»-e ministershave run away, and knowing that they w< re to die for preaching ( hri.st, and realizing that bo must therefore died, lather than go uneforjthejexecu tio) < i’s axe on the. morrow and suffer public disgrace, resolves to precipitate his own de cease. But before the sharp, keen, glittering dagger of the sheriff could strike his heart, one of tin uni Keened prisoners arrests tho blade by tho command: "Do thyself no harm.” in old( ii time, and where Christianity had not interfered with it, suicide was considered hoimrabk* and a sign of courage. Demosthenes poisoned himself when told that Alexander's ambassador bad demanded the surrender of the Atm man orators, Socrates killed himsMf ratlu r than : ip render to Philip of Macedon. Cato, rather than submit to Julius Casiir, tool. Ids own life, and after three times hiw wounds Lad been dressed, loro them open and p. rished.

Defaulters, iihirim dnt tin- idea. of exposure, quit life pro < ipltm ly. Men losing large fortunes go out of the world because they cannot endure earthly • xi-ti m’c. Frustrated affection, do mestic infchi ity, dyspeptic impatience, anger, remorse, envy, j* alousy, destitution, misan thropy, are consider* <1 sufficient causes for ab hconding from this lif«? by Faris green, by laudanum, by belladonna, by Othel lo's dagger, by halter, by leap from the abutment of a bridge, by firearms. Moro eases of felo do so in the last two year., than any two years of tho world's ex jJ( neo, and moro In tho last month than in liny twelve months. Thu evil is more and more spreading. A pulpit not long ago expressed some doubt as to whether there was really anything wrong about <iuitt ! .ng this life when it became dis agrceabla, and there uro found in respectable circles people apologetic for the crime w hich Paulin the text arrested. I shall show you before I get through that suicide is tho worst of all crim< s, and I shall lift a warning unniis iiikpJd ■*. But in the early part of (his sermon I wish to admit that some of the best Chris tians that have over lived have committed self dcHitin thm, but always In dementia, and not, responsible. I have no more doubt about their et« real felicity than 1 have of tho Christian who dies in bls bed in the delirium of typhoid fever. While the shock of tba”catnßiroi»ho js very gn at, I < barge all those who have had (Io t u :i;« io!-jimh rl< <•;rlyil al.« nation p off the boundaries of this life, to have no doubt about their happiness.

Ass.xssinations of others is a | mild crime compared with the assasdnattou I of yourself, because in the litter it is treachery to an espe< ial trust, it is the surren der of a castle you arc especially appointed to keep.it is treason to a natural law and it is trea on to God added to ordinary murder. To show how God in the Bible look, il upon this crime, I point you to the rogues’pict> ro gallery m some parts of the Bible, the pictures of tho people who have committed this unnat ural crime. Hero is the headless trunk of Saul on the wall, of Bathshnn. Hero is tho man v. ho chased little David—ten feet in stat ure chasing four. Hero is the man who con sulted a clairvoyant, Witch of Endor. Hero Is a man who. whipped in battle, instead of surrendering his sword with dignity, as many a man has done, asks his servant to slay him; and when the servant declines, then the giant plants the hilt of the sword in tho earth, the sharp point sticking upward, and lie throws his body on it and expires, tho coward, the suicide. Here i.s Aliithophel, the Machiavelli of olden times, betraying his best friend David in order that he may become prime minis ter of Absalom, and joining that fellow in his attempt nt parricide. Not getting what ho wanted by change of politics, he takes a short cutout of a disgraced life into tho suicide’s eternity. There he is, the ingrato! Here is Abimolech, practically a suicide. Jle is with an army bombarding a tower, when a woman in the, tower takes a grindstone from its place and drops it upon ills head, and with what life he has left in his cracked tkulled ho commands his armor-bearer: “Draw thy sword and slay mo, lest men say a woman slew me.” There is bis post-mortem photograph ■in tho book of Samuel. But tho hero of this group is Judas Iscariot. Dr. Don no says lie was a martyr, and wo have in our day apologists for him. And what won der, in this day when we have a book revealing Aaron Burr as a pattern of virtue, and in this day when we uncover a statue to George Sand as tho benofactress of literature, and in this day when there aro be trayals of Christ on tho part of some of Ills pretended npo::t)e.s—a betrayal to black it rmikcstho infamy of Judas Iscariot white! Yet this man by Ids own hand hung up for tho execration of ail the ages, Judas Iscariot. All the good men and women o£ the Bible left to God tho decision of their earthly ter minus, aud they could have said with Job, who had a right to commit suicide if any man ever had wiiat with bis destroyed property, and bis body al! aflame with insufferable cur bum les, and everything gone from his homo except the chief curse of it, a pestiferous wife, and four garrulous people polling him with Comfortless talk while ho sits on a heap of ashos scratching his scabs with a piece of brolren piottery, yet crying out in triumph: "All the days of my appointed time will I wait till my change come.” Notwithstanding the Bible is against this evil, and tho aversion which it creates by tho loathsome and ghastly spectacle of those who have hurled themselves out of life, and not withstanding Christianity is against it, and the arguments and the useful lives aud tho illus trious deaths of tho disciples, it is a fact alarmingly patent that suicide is on tho in crease. What is the cause? I charge upon infidelity and agnosticism tills whole thing. If there be no hereafter, or if that hereafter bo blissful without reference to how wo live or how w e die, why not move back the folding doors be tween this world and tho next? And when our existence here becomes troublesome, why not pass right over into Elysium? But tills down among your most solemn reflections, and consider it nfterfyou Igo to your homes; there has never been a case of suicide where tho operator was not either demented, and therefore irresponsible, or an infidel. I chal lenge all tho ages, and I challenge the whole universe. There never has been a cose of self destruction while in full appreciation of his immortality and of the fact that that immortal ity would lie glorious or wretched according as bo accepted Jesus Christ or rejected Him. You say it is a business trouble, or you may say|it is electrical currents, or it is this, or it is that, or it is tho other thing. Why not go clear back, my friend, and acknowledge that In every case it is tho abdication of reason or the teaching of the infidelity which practically says: "if you don’t like this life get out of it, and you will laud either in annihilation, whore there aro no notes to pay, no persecutions to suffer, no gout to torment, or you will land where there will be everything glorious and nothing to pay for it.” Infidelity has always been apologetic for self-immolation. After Tom I’aino’s "Age of Reason” was published and widely read there was a marked increase of self-slaughter. A mini in London heard Mr. Owen deliver his infidel lecture on socialism, and went home, sut down and wrote those words: "Jesus Christ is one of the weakest characters in history, and tho Bible is tho greatest possi ble deception,” and then shot himself. David Hume wrote these words: "It would bo no crime for mo to divert the Nile or the Danube from its natural bed. Whore, then, can bo the crime in my diverting a few drops of blood from their ordinary channel?" And, hav ing written tho essay, ho loaned it to u friend, the friend read it, wrote a lotterof thanks and admiration, and shot himself. Appendix to tho same book. Kou-seau, Voltaire, Gibbon, Montaigne, un der certain circumstances, were apologetic for self-immolation. Infidelity puts up no bar to people’s rushing out from this world into the next. They teach us it does not make any dif ference how you live hero or go out of this world, you will land either iu au oblivious no where or a glorious somewhere. And infidel ity bolds the upper end of tho rope for tho sui cide, and aims the pistol with which a man blows his bruins out, ituil mixes the strychnine for tln> l ist swallow. if infidelity could carry the day and persuade the majority of people in this country that it does uot make any differ ence how you go out of tho world you will land safely, the 1 ludson and tho East rivers would be so full of corpses tho ferryboats would bo impeded in their progress, nud tho crack of a suicide’s pistol would bo no moro alarming than tho rumble of a street car. 1 ha o sometimes heard it discussed whether the great dramatist was a Christian or not. I do not know, but I know that ho considered appreciation of n future existence the might iest hiiiderauco to self-destruction: "For v. I o could boar the whips and scorns of time, The oppressor s wrung, tho proud man’s contumely, Tho i«uo of despised love, tho law s delay, Tl’.e In-olciico ot odlee and the spurns That patient merit of tho unworthy takes, Wl an tie himself might liisquk'tus muko W'ttli a Imre bodktre' Who would fardels bear, To grunt mid sweat muter a weary Ute, Pul th"! tli ■ dread of something after death— Tec undiscovered country, from whose bourne No traveler returns pnx/lus the w ill?" Would God Hint tho coroners would be bravo in rendering the right verdict, and when in a vivo of irresponsibility they say: " While this man was demented he took his life;” in the other case say: "Having read infidel books and attended infidel lectures, which ob literated from this man’s mind all apprecia tion of anything like future retribution, ho committed self.slaughter!" Ah! Infidelity, stand up and take thy sen tence! hi tho presence of God and angels ami men, stand up, thou monster, thy lip blasted with blasphemy, thy cheek scarred with lust, thy breath foul with the corruption of the ages! Stand up, Satyr, filthy goat, buzzard of the nations, leper of the centuries! Stand up. thou monsterjintidelity! Part man. part panther, part reptile, part dragon, stand p and taka thy sentence!

To get rid of tho sorrows of earth, do not rush into greater sorrows. To get rid of a swarm of summer insects, leap not into a jun gle of Bciignl tigers.

"Tho best day’s shooting I ever did,” said Mr. Willis Venable, “was about ten years ago’ before there were so many hunters. It was in a field where tho birds were so very gentlo and it was smooth shooting, with no woods iu tho way. "Tho best shot T ever made," said Mr. F. E Block, "was at a wild goose. It was out on a western prairie. I was ridding with a gentle man in a double buggy, and the dogs were circling round < n tlic prairie in front of us. I saw four wild geeso half a mile ahead, and I got my friend to whip up tho horses so as to get to the gci so before the dogs frightened them away. Os course, as the buggy ap proached, tho geeso Hew up and I had to shoot at a Hying goose, with the horses running. 1 selected my goose and brought him down.” ’One of the best shots I ever made was at a deer in Florida last winter. I was lying be hind a log and saw seven doer. I had a tweb. c-sbot magazine rifle with seven shots and il I had not mistaken a tree, which was in front of them, for a deer, I would have killed all si ven. J buried four shots in the tree be fore 1 found it out, anil then I killed three deer with tho other shots. Ono ball went through ono deer and lodged in the shoulder of ono just behind. I pot ted tho second deer, but the first got away, although a bullet had gone th rough its body. "Another good shot I made was when I shot a running deer through the heart with a rifle at 110 yards. Another time 1 split a deer’s head with a rifle ball at 212 steps.” “The best shooting 1 over did,” said Mr. Henry Leonard, “was when I went hunting with Sir. Block several years ago. There were three of us and in three days wo killed 200 birdsand seventy-five doves.” “The best shot I ever made,” said another mnn, when I shot a lark coining toward me and caught it in my hand as it fell. ’ “The bust dog I ever saw is the one I own now, which is Dan Gladstone, out ofChampion Gladstone, out of Champion Sue. Mr. Bryson sold his litter sister, Lilian, to the Syracuse kennel for y,50. I have several times seen him start to jump a fence, and seeing a covey Os birds as he mounted, stop and point them from the top rail. I have seen him point a bird that was ten or fifteen feet from tho ground in a tree. "The best bird shot that I know of in Geor gia is Willis Venabio. Ho will shoot against anybody for any amount of money, and ho will agree to kill more birds in a day than any other man when they are put together. Mr. Mcßae, of Marietta, is said to bo one of the finest shots in Georgia, and Mr. W. W. Thomas, of Athens, is also a fine shot. "The best dog lever heard of,’’said a veteran bird hunter, "was ono that belonged to Guinea Luckie. Ho and I and another man were in tho field ono day, talking about our dogs and telling how staunch they wore. Ono man said that his dog stood on a point two hours. ‘That’s nothing,’ said Luckie, ’I had a dog I once and lost him in a broom sedge field. I ! finally had to go home, and tho farmers burnt off the field tb.at evening. Tho next day I went back to look for him and found him still standing on a point where tho broom sedge had burnt over him. Uis hair was singed off and he was dead.’ " "There was a man In north Georgia,” said a back woodsman, "who hod a corn-crib ou the bank of a creek and a lot of shingles piled up on the other side, where the woods camo down to the stream. Tho man noticed that his corn pile was getting lower, although ho had not begun to use out of that crib. It worried him a long time, for tho crib door was locked and tho legs of the crib wore spiked down where they were notched together at the cor ners. Finally he concluded to watch until he found out how that corn was being spirited away. At last ho saw a squirrel corno out of tho woods and curry a shmglo down to the water’s edge on tho other side, where ho made a ferry boat of it, and hoisted his tail for a sail. By heading a little down stream, mid flourish ing lits tail In a certain way, ho managed to gttido tho shingle across. AVheu he had landed ho went up to tho corn crib, took an ear of corn out be tween the logs and carried it down to tho wa ter’s edge, whore Ho put it on the shingle, hoisted his tail and guided his boat back to tho other side. Having lauded tho shingle ho dragged the ear of corn to a hollow tree where ho got It inside. This squirrel was followed by others who went through tho same maneuver, each landing an ear of corn at the foot o£ tho same tree. Amazed at what he had seen, and hardly able to believe his eyes, tho man went over to examine the tree. He had on a heavy overcoat buttoned nt tho top with ono heavy button. Ashe waded through the creek his coat absorbed water and got very heavy, and ns he came out on the other side, the button flew of! and etruck a crouching rabbit behind the oar, killing it instantly. Just at that moment the man saw w hat made his overcoat so heavy. Tho big side pockets were full of fish. Ricking up tho rabbit, lie con cluded that it was hardly fit to eat and threw it aside. There was a covey of partridges hud dled with their heads together, as they some times do, and tho rabbit's head struck in the centre aud killed the wholecovey. Having tied tho birds together with a string, the man went to tho tree and found his corn inside. He called to liis son, who came over w ith an ax and felled tho tree, which proved to boa bee tree. Besides getting all his corn back, the iiinn got twelve barrels of honeycomb, tho top of the tree fell over Into thocreek, and the water ran swoet for twenty years.” Tho Bible. Mjton W. Reed.

Columbus, 0., October 14.--[Spec!al.]—Fol lowing is Judge Thurman’s letter of accept ance, as given to tho press this evening. Tho first draft of the letter was in tlic judge's handwriting and the typewriter copies showed only a few changes in punctuation from the original: Columbus, O-, October 12,1S88.—Hon. Patrick A. Collins and others, committee. Gentlemen—ln ote lienee to custom, I scud you this formal accept ance of my nomination for the office of vice-presi dent of tho Unit."! States, made by 4he national convention of the democratic party at St. Louis. When you did me the honor to call upon me at Columbus, and officially notify me ot my nomina tion. I expres ed to you i.iy sense of obligation to the convention, and stated Hint, although I bad not sought the nomination, I did not feel at liberty, under the circumstances, to decline it. I thought then, as I still think, that whatever 1 could prop erly do to promote the re election of "President Cleveland I ought to do. Ills administration has been marked by such Integrity, good sense, manly courage and exalted patriotism that just apprecia tion of these high qualities seem to call for his re election. I am a'so strongly impressed with the belief that hfs re-election would powerfully tend to strengthen that feeling of fraternity among the American peo ple that is so essential to their welfare, peace and happiness, and to the perpetuity of the union and of our free institutions. I approve the platform of the St. Louis conven tion, and I cannot too strongly eapress my dissent from tho heretical teacliluga of the monopolists that tlic welfare of lite people cun bo promoted by a system of exorbitant taxation fur in excess of the wants of the government. Tho idea that people can be enriched by heavy and unnecessary taxation, that man’s condition can be Improved by taxing him on all he wears, on all his wife and children wear, on all Ids tools and implements of industry, is an obvious absurdity. To fill the vaults of the treasury with an idle surplus, for which the government has no legitimate use, and to thereby deprive the people of our currency needed for their business and dally wants and to create a powerful and dangerous stimulus to extrav agance and corruption in tho expenditures of the government, seems to me to be a policy at variance with every sound principle of government and of political economy. Tho necessity of reducing taxation to prevent such a accumulation of surplus revenue, and the consequent depletion of tho circulating medium, is so apparent that no party dares to deny it; but when wo como to consider the modes by which re duction may bo made, wo find wide antagonism be tween our party and the monopolistic leaders of our political opponents. We seek to reduce tuxes upon the necessaries of life; our opponents seek to in crease them. Wo say, give to the mas’es of the people cheap and good clothing, cheap blankets, cheap tools and cheap lumber. Tho republicans, by the platform, and their leaders in the senate by their proposed bill, say increase taxes ou clothing and blankets and thereby Increase their cost, maintain a high duty on the tools of the faimcr and mechanic and upon the lumber which they need for the construc tion of the modest dwellings, shops and barns, and thereby prevent their obtaining these necessaries at reasonable prices. Can any sensible man doubt as to where ho should stand in this controversy? Can any well informed man be deceived by the false pretense that n system so unreasonable aud unjust is for the benefit of tho laboring men? Much Is said about competition of American laborers with the pauper labor of Europe; but does not every man who looks around him see and know that tho immense majority of laborers in America are not engaged in whht are culled the protected industries? And as to those who are em ployed in such ludustries, is it not undeniable that the duties- proposed by the democratic measure, called tho Mills bill, far exceed the difference between American aud European wages, and that therefore, if it were admitted that our working men can bo pro tected by tariffs against cheaper labor, they would be fully protected and more than protected, by that bill? Boes not every well informed man know that the increase in the price of home manufactures pro duced by the high tariff docs not go lute the pockets of the laboring men, but only tends to swell the profits of others? It seems to me that if the policy of the demoeratio party Is plainly presented, all must understand that wo seek to make the cost of living less, and at the same time increase tlic ;share of the laboring man in the benefits of national prosperity and growth. 1 am very respcctfhllv your obedient servant, ALt.EN G.

Irion, the defauh ing clerk of the city court of Birmingham, Alabama, arrived hero yesterday on the steam ship Egyptian Monarch from London. At quarantine three well dressed men boarded the steamer aud walked forward to where a gang of sailors were busy in the forecastle. They were Deputy Marshal Bernhard aud two officers from Birmingham, who had been wait ing to arrest Irion on his arrival. "Well, Frank, can this be yon ?” asked ono of the officers, approaching a tall, well-formed young man of 30 years, who advanced from among the sailors with his cap in uis hand as they approached. "Yes,” responded the young man, “and I'm glad you’ve come. 1 want to go back and suffer for my crime. My remorse is terrible.” "Then 1 arrest you,” replied the officer. There was a stir among the sailors, who could not understand why one of their num ber should be seized by tho officers of tho law. “That’s all right, boys,” said the prisoner, turning to his rough companions; “I deserve arrest, for I’m a criminal.” Hot tears ran down his cheeks and his feliow sailors seemed almost equally affected. When tho steamer arrived at her dock atthe foot of Twenty-fourth street, North River, Irion was taken ashore a willing captive. The officers took him to a hotel. Thestory of Iren’s career since ho fled from his native town, Birmingham, A1a.,11 defaulter for thousands of dollars, as told by himself, is remarkable as a romance. Borno fourteen months ago ho was trusted and respected as clerk of tlio city court. He moved in tho best circles of society, and was a member of several social and intellectual clubs. He became a defaulter and lied. An examination of his accounts showed a systematic course of deception and fraud. " Irion rambled over the western country and gradually spent every dollar he had when he left Alabama. Finally ho reached San Fran cisco without money or friends and beset with a growing fear that" defectives were following him everywhere. In desperation he shipped before tlio mast as a common sailor on an English ship bound for Liverpool. Even at sea his fears did Hut. desert him. Added to his dread of capture, lie was possessed with a horror of passing his life branded as a criminal. Tho voyage was a fearfully rough one, and in rounding Capo Horn Irion became ill. For weeks ho was too sick to work and at times it was feared ho would become insane. Moro dead than alive ho arrived in Liverpool, where ho loft tho ship aud proceeded to London de termined to place lums'ilf in tlio custody of the Vtiilod States consul and bo sout back to Birmingham to atone for his crime. He arrived in London in tho early part of September amt went direct to tho office ot Consul Gem nil Waller. To him ho made a full confession and begged to uo scut back to America. Tlio consul placed tho matter in the hands of Martin Waller, vice-consul, who secured him a berth us a common sailor on tho Egyptian Monarch. On the day tho Egytlan Monarch left Lon don for New Yhirk, a cable was received by Consul General Waller asking him to arrest Irion on his arrival in Loudon and hold him a vrisoner till tho attival of tin till er from Alabama. An au-wering cable intormed the authorities in 8.-. ningliam that Irion was on hie wav to Now York. tin the voyage Irion worked well and cheer ful'y. Uno of ' sailors m d-.-.ciffi’iig him mUJ. “ho wut just like afty of us sailor men. From tho way l.e worked about ship it 1 r .-uw-d as If l e mil'sw In-mi .a tiorn salt. We liked him because In tris a real gontle n. m. He v.i»s ti e most Im.-11. < ti;al mu.er I over saw . tc<>. Such tilings he knew! Why, he «■«, p.isu-d ou etc jibing- Wc never sm ! pe.-tod that he wa» a refugee fiom justice, aliltough be said ouce ot twiee that nmiuTM for a certain thing he had done was killing him." Another sailor on the steamer showed the Star reporter a Scrap • f -t;. ron which was written in a citar. bold hand: “Fr%nk M. Irion, Birmingham, Alabama.” "I didn’t know his name till he wrote <hat for nil.-," said he, "and none of us in the fore castle suspected him of being ..nything but a very intellectual Imt peculinr m:iu.” In at:;--aranco Irion is tail : nd powerfully built, v. ith a slight beard <.-f l;_ht color, blue eyes aud a f:..::k, < : -:n countenance. His forehead is remarkably high, and ids actions, aside from a remorseful attitude, free and manly. In company with the twn Birmingham officials he will start for the south today. THE COTTON MARKETS.
