Irnortnoe of Mexfcaw u to Common Matton. There are some peculiar qualities of the Mexican mind which will, for a *while, stand in the way of quick progress. Thue, very few of them will buy their railroad tickets until the train is in full view of the station; and,.until a short time preferred paying their cash to the conductor. They have an incomprehensible itching to defer any enterprise, pr even trivial work, until tiro morrow. When these defects of their disposition and training are understood, and patience and management are exercised, a fair aervice can be got out of them. As exemplifying how little Mexicans know of the rights of common carriers, the other day, when Oen. Diaz stopped here, the company, as a courtesy, tendered the municipality the use of their oars for the General’s party. Thereupon the city authorities undertook to let everybody have a free ride, and, until the matter wm legally explained to them, threatened trouble to the railway people. These mistakes of the Mexicans, in their dealing with our people, spring not so much from a desire to annoy as from ignorance.— Monterey Cor. New York Sun. The Tinto. There is In Spain a river called Tinto, which has very extraordinary qualities; its waters, which are as yellow as a topaz, harden the sand and petrify it in a most surprising manner. If a stone falls into the river and rests upon another they both become perfectly united and conglutinated in'a year. It withers all the plants on its banks, as well as the roots of trees, which it dyes of the same hue as its waters. No fish live in its stream. That Terrible Scourge, Fever and ague, and its congener, bilious remittent, besides affections of the stomach, liver and bowels, produced by miasmatic air and water, are both eradicated and prevented by the use of Hostetter's Stomach Bitten, a purely vegetable elixir, Indorsed by physicians, and more extensively used as a remedy for the above class of disorders, as well as for many others, than any medicine of the age. A languid circulation, a torpid state of the liver, a want of vital stamina, are conditions peculiarly favorable to malarial diseases. They are, however, surely remedied by the great preventive, which, by invigorating the system and endowing it with regularity as well as vigor, provides it with a resisting power which enables it to withstand disorders, not only of a malarial type, but a host of others to which feeble and ill-regulated systems are subject. The Bitters are a safe as well as searching eradlcant, and have widely superseded that dangerous drug, quinine, which palliates but does not eradicate malaria. A Rememberer.

DR. TALMAGE’S SERMON. «k »» » w ,w|i 1 HE SPEAKS OF.THE CONSOLATIONB OF CHttISTIAIIITY. The Cluster of Grapes from Canaan Typifies the Clusters ol Hopek, of Prospects, and of Consolation Convoyed in the Gospel of clirlaf. .'*> • At the TabernacleRev. Dr. Talmage tn selecting a tueme for last Sunday's sermon In the Brooklyn Tabernacle chose one peculiarly suitable to the season ot fruits, the title being “Grapes From Canaan" and the text Numbers xili, 23, “And they came unto the brook of Eschol and cut down from thence a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bare it between two upon a staff.” The long trudge of the Israelites across the wilderness was almost ended. They haAcome to the borders of the promised land. Os the 600,000 adults who started from Egypt for Canaan, bow many do you suppose got there? Five hundred thousand? Oh, no. Not 200,000, not 100,000, nor SO, nor 20, nor 10, butonlv 2 men. Oh, it was a ruinous march that God’s people made, but their children were Jiving, and they wore on the march, and now thev had come up to the borders of the promised land they were very curious to know what kind of a place it was, and whether it would b* safe to go over. So a scouting party is sent out to reconnoiter, and they examine the land, and they come back bringing specimens of its growth. Just as you came back from California bringing to your family a basket of pears or plums or apples to show what monstrous fruit they have thereto this scouting party Cut off the biggest bunch of grapes they could find. It was so large that one man could not carry it,and they thrust a pole through the cluster, and there was one man at either end of the pole, and so the bunch of grapes was transported. I was some time ago In a luxuriant vineyard. The vine dresser had done his work. The vine had clambered up aud spread Its wealth all over the arbor. The suu and shower had mixed a cup which the vine drank until with flushed cheek it lay slumbering In the light, cluster against the cheek of cluster. The rinds of the grapes seemed almost bursting with the Juice in the warm lips of the autumnal day, and it seemed as if all you had to do was to lift a chalice toward the clyster and its lifeblood would begin to drip away. But; my friends, in these rigorous climes we know nothing about large grapes. Strabo states that in Bible times and in Bible lands there were grapevines so large that it took two men with outstretched arms to reach round them, and he says there were clusters' two cubits in length or twice the length from the elbow to the tip of the long huger. And Achaicus, dwelling in thoso lands, tells us that during the time he was smitten with fever one grape would slake his thirst for the whole day. No wonder, then, in these Bible times two men thought it worth their while to puttheir strength together to carry down one cluster of grapes from the promised land. A Cluster or Hopes and Consolations. But this morning I bring you a larger cluster from the heavenly Eschol —a cluster of hopes, a cluster of prospects, a cluster of Christian consolations, and I am expecting that one taste of it will rouse up your appetite for the heavenly Canaan. During the past winter some of this congregation have gone away never to return. The aged have put down their staff and taken up the scepter. Men in midlife came home from office or shop and did not go back again. And the dear children, some of them, have been gathered in Christ's arms. He found this world too rbugh a place for them, and so He gathered them in. And, oh, how many wounded souls there are—wounds for which this world offers no medicament—and unless from the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ there shall come a consolation there will be no consolation at all. Oh, that the God of all comfort would help me while 1 preach, and that the God of all comfort would help you while you hear! First, I console you with the divinely sanctioned idea that your departed friends are as much yours now as they ever were. I know you sometimes get the idea in your mind, when you have this kind of trouble, that your friends are cut off from you and they are no longer yours, but the desire to have all our loved ones in the same lot in the cemetery is a natural desire, a universal desire and therefore a God iidplanted desire and is mightily suggestive ot the fact that death has no power to break up the family relations. If our loved ones go awav from our possession, why put a fence around our lot in the cemetery? Why the gathering of four or five names on the family monument? Why the planting of one cypress vine so that it covers all the cluster of graves? Why put the husband beside the wife and the children at their feet? Why the bolt on the gate of our lot, and the charge to the keepers of the ground to see that the grass Is cut, and the vine attended to, and the flowers planted? Why not put our departed friends in one common field or grave’ Oh, it is because they are ours. That child, O stricken mother! is as much yours this morning as in the solemn hour when God put it against your heart and said as of old, “Take this child and nurse it for me, and I will give thee thy wages.” It is no more whim. It is a divinely planted principle in the soul, and God certainly would not plant a lie, and he would not culture a lie! Abraham would not allow Sarah to be buried in a stranger’s grounds, although some very beautiful ground fvas offered him a free gift, but he pays 400 sheckels for Machpelah, the cave, and the trees overshadowing it The grave has been well kept and to-day the Christian traveler stands in thoughtful and admiring mood, gazing upon Machpelah, where Abraham and Sarah are taking their long sleep of 4,000 years. Your father may be slumbering under the tinkling of the bell of the Scotch kirk. Your brother may have gone down in the ship that foundered off Cape Hatteras. Your little child may be sleeping on the verge of the flowering Western prairie, yet God will gather them all up, however widely the dust may be scattered. Nevertheless It is pleasant to think that we will be buried together. When my father died and we took him out and put him down in the graVeynrd of Somerville, It did not seem so sad to leave him there, because right beside him was my dear, good, old, beautiful Christian mother, and it seemed as if she said* “I was tired, aud I came to bed a little early. I am glad vou have come. It seems as of old.” Companionship in Death. Ob, it is a consolation to feel that, when men come and with solemn tread carry you out to your resting place, they will open the gate through which some of your friends have already gone, and through which many of your friendship follow. Sleeping under the same roof, at last sleeping under the same sod. The autumnal leaves that drift across your grave will drift across theirs, the bird songs that drop on their mound will drop on yours, and then, in starless winter nights, when the wind comes howling through the gorge, you will be company for each other.

and wife remarried; on their Bps the sacrament of the dust Brothers and sisters who used In eport toi fling themselves on the grass now again reclining side by side in the grave, Ih flecks ot sunlight sifting through the long, lithe willows. Then at the trumpet ot the archangel to rise side by side, shaking themselves from the dust of ages. The faces that were ghastly and fixed when you saw them last all aflush with the light of incorruption. The father looking around on his children and saying, "Come, come, my dtorllngs, this Is the morning of the resurrection.” Mrs. Sigourney wrote beautifully with the tears-and blood of her own broken heart: There was a shaded chamber, A silent, watching band. . On a low couch a SwOorlng child Grasping her mother's hand. But ‘mid the gasp and struggle With shuddering lips she cried, "Mother, oh, dearest mother. Bury me by yonr side." Only one wish she altered. As life wae ebbing fast, "Bleep by my side, dear mother. And rlee with me at laet." Oh, yes, we want to be buried together. Sweet antetype of everlasting residence in each other’s companionship. When the wrecker went down Into the cabin of the lost steamer, he found the , mother and child in each other’s arms. It was sad, but It was beautiful, and it was appropriate. Together they went ; down. Together they will rise. One on earth. One tn Heaven. Is. there not ; something cheering in all this thought, i and something to Impress upon us the > idea that the departed are ours yet—ours forever? i But I console you again with the fact of your present acquaintanceship and , communication with your departed i friends. I have no sympathy, I need . not say, with the Ideas of modern spirlt- ■ ualism, but what I mean is the theory f set forth by the apostle, when he says, i “We are surrounded by a great cloud of r witnesses.” Just as in the ancient I amphitheater there were 80,000 or 100,- > 000 people looking down from the galI leries upon the combatants in the center, so, says Paul, there is a great host of t your friends in all the galleries of tho i sky looking down upon our earthly struggles. It is a sweet, a consoling, a Scriptural idea. With wing of angel, earth > and Heaven are in constant communica--1 tion. Does not the Bible say, “Are they not sent forth as ministering spirits to i those who shall be heirs of salvation?'* . And when ministering spirits comedown ' and seo us, do they not take some mesI sage back? Communication Between Earth and [ Heaven. i It is impossible to realize, I know, the ; idea that there is such rapid and perpetual intercommunication of earth and 1 Heaven, but it is a glorious reality. You > take a rail train, and the train is in full . motion, and another train from the opl poslte direction dashes past you so i swiftly that you are startled. All the > wav between here and Heaven is filled I with the up trains and the down trains i —spirits coming—spirits going—coming i —going—coming—going. That friend i of yours who died last month —do vou not suppose he told all the family news i about you in the good land to the friends • who are gone? Do you not suppose that t when there are hundreds of opportunil ties every day for them in Heaven to hear from you that they ask about you, that they know your tears, your temptations, your struggles, your victories? Aye, they do. k Perhaps during the last war you had ' a boy in the army, and you got a pass, i and you went through the lines, and vou found him, and the regiment coming r from your neighborhood you knew most ’ of the boys there. Ono day you started ' forborne. You said: “Well, now, have 1 you any letters to send? Any messages to send?” And they filled your pockets 1 with letters, and you started home. Arriving home, the neighbors came in, 1 and one said, "Did you see my John?” J and others, “Did you see George?” "Do ■ you know anything about mv Frank?” And then you brought out the • letters ’ and gave them the messages of which 1 you had been the bearer. Do you sup--1 pose that angels of God, coming down to 1 this awful battlefield of sin and sorrow ! and death and meeting us and seeing us and finding out ail about us, carry back L no message to the skies? ’ Oh, there is consolation in it! You are in present communication with that ' land. They are in sympathy with you J now more than they ever were, and they ' are waiting for the moment when the hammer stroke shall shatter the last 1 chain of your earthly bondage and your 1 soul shall spring upward, and they will * stand on the heights of Heaven and see 1 yort come, and Tghen you are within 1 hailing distance your other friends will be called out, and as you flash through ’ the pearl hung gate their shouts will ' make the hills tremble, “Hail, ransomed 1 spirit, to the city of the blessed.” I console you still further with the ’ idea of a resurrection. I know there are a great many people who do not accept this because they cannot understand it; but, my friends, there are two ' stout passages—l could bring a hundred, but two swarthy passages are enough— J and one David will strike down the Goliath. “Marvel not at this, for the hour is coming when all who are in their graves shall come forth. ’’ The other swarthy passage in this: “The Lord shall descend from Heaven with a shout, and the voice of the archangel, and the trump of God, and the dead in Christ shall rise first” Oh, there will be such a thing as a resurrection. Probblems of the Resurrection. You ask mo a great many questions I cannot answer about this resurrection. You say, for instance, “If a man’s body is constantly changing, and every seventh year he has an entirely new body, and he lives on to 70 years of age and so has bad ten different bodies, and at the hour of his death there is not a particle of flesh on him that was there in the days of his childhood —in the resurrection which of the ten bodies will come up, or will they ali rise?” You say, “Suppose a man dies, and his body is scattered in the dust, and out of that dust vegetables grow, and men eat he vegetables, and cannibals slay these men and eat them, and cannibals fight with cannibals until at last theie shall be 100 men who shall have within them some particles that started from the dead body first named, coming up through the vegetable through the first man who ate it, and through the cannibals who afterward ate him, and there be more than 100 men who have rights in the particles of that body—in the resurrection how can they be assorted when these particles belong to them all?” You say, there Is a missionary buried in Greenwood, and when be was in China he had his arm amputated—ln the resurrection will that fragment of the body fly 16,000 miles to Join the rest of the body?” You say. “Will it not be a very difficult thing for a spirit coming back in that day to find the myriad particles of its own body when they may have been scattered by the winds or overlaid by whole generations of the dead—looking for the myriad particles of its own body, while there are a thousand million other spirits doing tho same thing, and all the assortment to be made within one day?” You say, “If a hundred and fifty men go Into a place of evening entertainment and leave their hats and overcoats In the hall, when they come baek it is almost impossible for them to get the right ones, or to get them Without a great deal of perplexity, and yet you tell me that myriads of spirits in the last day will come and find myriads of bodies.”

Hava you any more questions to ask, any more difficulties to suggest,any more mysteries? Bring them on! Against a whole regiment of skepticism I will march these two companions; “Marvel not at this, for the hour Is coming when all who are in their graves shall come forth." “The Lord shall descend from Heaven with a shout, and the voice of the archangel, and the trumpet of God. and the dead In Christ shall rise first.” You see I stick to these two passages. Who art thon, O fool, that thou repliest against God? Hath He promised, and shall He notdoit? Hath Ho commanded, and shall Ho not bring It to pass? Have you not confidence in Ills omnipotence? If He could in the first place build my body, after It is torn down can He not build it again? “Oh," YOU «»y. “I would believe that if you would explain IL I am not disposed to be skeptical, but explain how It can be done.” My brother, you believe a great many things you cannot explain. You believe your mind acts on yonr body. Explain the process. This seed planted comes up a blue flower. Another seed planted comes up a yellow flower. Another seed planted comes up a white flower? Why? Why that wart on your finger? Tell me why some cows have horns and otbnr cows have no horns. Why, when two obstacles strike each other in the air, do you hear the percussion? What is the subtle energy that dissolves a solid in a crucible? What makes the notches on an oak leaf different from any other kind of leaf? What makes the orange blossom different from that of the rose? How can the almightioess which rides on the circle of the heaven find room to turn its chariot on a heliotrope? Explain these. Can you not do it? Then I will not explain the resurrection. You explain one-half of the common mysteries of everyday life, and I will explain all the mysteries of tho resurrection. You cannot answer me very plain questions in regard to ordinary affairs. I am not ashamed to say that I canuot explain God and the resurrection. 1 simply accept them as facts, tremendous and Infinite. Silence of the Tomb, Before the resurrection takes place, everything will be silent The mausoleums and the labyrinths silent Tho graveyards silent, the cemetery silent save from the clashing of hoofs and the grinding of wheels as the last tuneral procession comes in. No breath of air disturbing the dust where I’ersepolis stood, and Thebes, and Babylon. No winking of the eyelids long closed In darkness. No stirring of the teet that once bounded the hillside. No opening of the hand that once plucked the flower out of the edge of the wildwood. No clutching'of swords by the men who went down when Persia battled and Rome fell. Silence from ocean beach to mountain cliff and from river to river. The sea singing the same old tune. The lakes hushed to sleep in the bosom of the same great hills. No hand disturbing the gate of the long barred sepulcher. AH the nations of the dead motionless in their wi ndlng sheets. Up the side of the hills, down through the trough of the valleys, far out In the caverns, across the fields, deep down into the coral palaces of the ocean depths where leviathan sports with his fellows —everywhere, layer above layer, height above height, depth below depth—dead! dead! dead! But in the twinkling of an eye, as quick as that as the archangel’s trumpet comes pealing, rolling, reverberating, crashing across the continents and seas, the earth will give one fearful shudder, and the door of the family vault, without being unlocked, will burst open, and all the graves of the dead will begin to throb and heave like the waves of the sea, and the mausoleum of princes will fall into the dust and Ostend and Sebastopol and Austerlitz and Gettysburg stalk forth in the Inrid air and the shipwrecked rise from the deep, their wet locks looming above the billow, and all the land and all the sea become one moving mass of life—all generations, all ages, with upturned countenances — some kindled with rapture and others blanched with deep despair, bubgazlng in one direction, upon one object, and that the throne of resurrection! On that dav you will get back your Christian dead. There is where the comfort comes in. They will come up with the same hand, the same foot, and the same entire body, but with a perfect hand, and a perfect foot and a perfect body—corruption having become immortality. And oh, the reunion! oh. the embrace after so long an absence! Comfort one another with these words. While I present these thoughts this morning, does it not seem that Heaven comes very near to" us, as though our friends, whom we thought a great way off, are not in the distance, but close by? You have sometimes come down to a river at nightfall, and you have been surprised how easily you could* hear voices across that river. You shouted over to the other side of the river, and they shouted back. It is said that when George Whitefield preached in Third | street Philadelphia, one evening time his voice was heard clear across to the Now Jersey shore. When I was a little while ohaplain in the army, I remember how at eventide we could hear the voices of the pickets across the Potomac just when they were using ordinary tones. And as we come to-day and stand by the river of Jordan that divides us from our friends who are gone it seems to me we stand on one bank and they stand on the other, and it is only a narrow stream, and our voices go, and their voices come. Hark! Hush! I hear distinctly what they say. “These are they who came out of great tribulation and had their robes washed and mado white in the blood of the Lamb.” Still the voice comes across the water, and I hear, “We hunger no more; we thirst no more; neither shall the sun light on us, nor any heat for the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne leads us to living fountains of water, and God wipethaway all tears from our eyes.” Turning State’s Evidence. "Hole on heah,” exclaimed a negro on trial for stealing a saddle. ’’Hole on heah, Jedge, for Tse gwine ter turn State’s evidence right heah.” “How can you turn State’s evidence when you are the only one concerned ?” asked the Judge. “Don’t make no diff’rence I’se a gwine to turn State’s evidence right heah, an’ doan yersef commence ter forgit it. Es I turn dat evidence an’ show yer zackly who stole de saddle, yer Hl ’kHKjuj&.ip go about my business, yer, Jedge?” “Certainly, sir, if you can turn State’s evidence, and tell us exactly who committed the theft, the law will grant you liberation.” “All right; heah’s fur de State’s evidence. I stole de saddle myself, an’ er good day, gen’lemen, ” and he walked out of the court-room before the officers could sufficiently recover from their surprise r to detain him.— -Arkansaw Traveler.

A Occupation for Pretty Women. The most curious occupation wo have heard of lately, is that of a young woman who earns her bread and butter by being photographed. Latterly, there has been a dtfinand for fashion pictures which look life-like, and women with pretty faces are beginning to be appealed to to lend their features and their figures for tte purpose. The professional fasfiion model will be an Institution shortly. The young girl spoken es is already in tho field. She poses on a divan as carefully as for an Academy picture, to bring out her own best points and those of an evening gown. She plays tennis, she poises on an al penstock. Fashion illustrations have lagged so far benind other pictures that it has been ruin to a wood-engraver who aspired to anything better than to work on them. The standard is now going to be raised. The Mother-In-Law. The mother-in-law appears to be a source of unfailing amusement to the Frenchman. Read this extract from a Parisian publication:— “Two friends met after a separation of several years. " ‘You are married?* asks one. “ ‘Yes, I sent you cards.’ “ ‘How’s your mother-in-law?* “ ‘An admirable woman —a dealt of gold. I neve? heard of one like her.* “‘You speak sarcastically.’ “ ‘Not at all.’ “ ‘What do vou mean, then?’ •• ‘I never knew her. The poor woman was dead when I married her daughter.”’ Insect Life. Insects do not breathe through the nose and mouth. Down the body run two main pipes. These pipes send out branches to the right and left like a network, extendng to the extremities of the body, even to the ends of the antennae and to the claws. Each main tube receives the external air through nine or ten spiracles or breathing boles, placed at intervals along the sides of the body. The spiracles are made watertight and dust-tight by a strong fringe of hair which completely guards the entrance. Carbonized Pepper. A Western company manufacturing graphite paint tells ns of a recent inquiry for a price on a large amount of graphite. It is not the custom of the concern to sell its raw material, and an investigation was made as to the use to which the graphite was to be put The inquiry was found to proceed from a company having a close business connection with a jobbing house that does a large business in black pepper. The era of sanded sugar and chicoried coffee has evidently given place to the day of carbonized pepper.—iron Trade Review. Sylvester Night. Sylvester Night, as the night preceding Ne# Year’s Day is called in Ger. many, is an occasion for family gatherings and rejoicings. The evening hours before the clock strikes midnight are devoted to a musical family entertainment which is followed by the brewing of the New Year’s punch, while the cakes are placed on the table. With the first stroke of the midnight hour glasses are clashed together and good wishes for the coming year exchanged. Prelates of Humble Origin. The present archbishop of Cologne is the son of a butcher. The father of his predecessor, Cardinal Geissel, was a vintager, and his mother was a washerwoman.

Carbonic Acid Preserve. Milk. Microbes and’ carbonic acid do not seem to be particularly incompatible, to use a pharmaceutical expression, but they do not get along together any too well. Thus, Nourry and Michel find that ordinary milk, which becomes curdled in forty-eight hours at the outside, suffers no change until the expiration of eight days if it be saturated with carbonic acid under pressure. If the raise of temperature to*4s degrees to 80 degrees is made the curds form as usual, while at a temperature of 120 degrees they are formed at once without any interval. Hence the use does not seem to exert a microbicide action in the ordinary sense of the term, but it checks the development of the micro-organisms. THE LADIES.
