DEATH IS A VICTORY.

THE SUBJECT OF DR. TALMAGE'S EASTER SERMON.

An Eloquent Discourse on the Resurrec

tion—Numerous Things In Nature That

Symbolize the New Life—Only the Bad

Disapprove of the Resurrection. New York, April 14.—Rev. Dr. Tal-

mage preached twice today in New York—at the Academy of Music and the West Presbyterian church—on both occasions to crowded audiences. Ono of the sermons was on tho subject of "Easter Jubilee," the text being taken from I Corinthians xv, 54, "Death is swallowed up in victory."

About 1,861 Easter mornings have' wakened tho earth. In Franco for three centuries tho almanacs made the year begin at Easter until Charles IX made the year begin at Jan. 1. In tho Tower of London there is a royal pay roll of Edward I, on which thero is an entry of 18 pence for 400 colored and pictured Easter eggs, with which the people sported. In Russia slaves wero fed and alms were distributed on Easter.

Ecclesiastical councils met atPontus, at Gaul, at Rome, at Achaia, to decido tho particular day, and after a controversy more animated than gracious decided it, and now through all Christendom in sonio way the first Sunday after the full moon which happens upon or next after March 21 is filled with Easter rejoicing. Tho royal court of tho Sabbaths is made up of 52. Fifty-one are princes in the royal household, but Easter is queen. She wears a richer diadem and sways a more jeweled scepter, and in her smilo nations are irradiated. Wo wp^'omo this queenly day, holding high up in her right hand the wrenched off bolt of Christ's sepuleher and holding high up in her left hand tho key to all tho cemeteries in Christendom.

My text is an ejaculation. It is spun out of halleluiahs. Paul wroto right on in his argument about tho resurrection and observed all the laws of logic, bat when ho camo to write tho words of tho text his fingers and his pen and the parchment on which he wrote took fire, and ho cried out, "Death is swallowed up in victory!" It is a dreadful sight to seo an army routed and Hying. They scatter everything valuablo on the track. Unwheeled artillery. Hoof or horse on breast of wounded and dying man. You have read of tho French falling back from Sedan, or Napoleon's track of IK),000 corpses in tho snowbanks of Russia, or of the fivo kings tumbling over tho rocks of Bethoran with their armies, while tho hailstorms of heaven and tho swords of Joshua's hosts struck them with their fury.

The Hosts of Evil.

But in my text is a worse discomfiture. It seems that a black giant proposed to conquer tho earth. He gathered for liis host all tho aches and pains and maladies and distempers and epidemics of the ages. Ho marched them down, drilling them in tho northeast wind, amid the slush of tempests. Ho threw up barricades of grave mound. He pitched tent of charnel house. Somo of the troops inarched with slow tread, commanded by consumptions some in double quick, commanded by pneumonias. Some ho took by long besiegemenfi of evil habit and some by ono stroke of tho bnttleax of casually. With bony hand ho pounded at tho doors of hospitals and sickrooms and won all tho victories in all tho great battlefields of all the five continents. Forward, march! tho conqueror of conquerors, and all the generals and commanders in chicf, and all presidents and kings and sultans and czars drop under tho feet of his war charger.

But ono Christmas night his antagonist was born. As most of tho plagues and sicknesses and despotisms came out of the east it was appropriate that the new conqueror should come out of tho same quarter. Power is given him to awaken all tho fallen of all the centuries and of all lands and marshal them against tho black giant. Fields have already beqii won, but the last day will see the decisive battle. When Christ shall lead forth his two brigades, tho brigado of tho risen dead and tho brigade of tho celestial host, the black giant will fall back, and tho brigado from tho riven sepulchers will take him from beneath, and tho brigado of descending immortals will take him from above, and "death shall bo swallowod up in victory." The old braggart that: threatened the conqnest and demolition of tho planet has lost his throne, has lost his scepter, has lost his palace, has lost his prestige, and tho ono word written over all the gates of mausoleum and catacomb and necropolis, on cenotaph and sarcophagus, oil tho lonely cairn of tho arctic explorer and on the catafalque of great cathedral, written in capitals of azalea and ealla lily, written in musical cadence, written in doxology of great assemblages, written on tho sculptured doer of tho family vault, is "Victory. Coronal word, em bannered word, apocalyptic word, chief word of triumphal arch under which couquerors return. Victory! Word shouted at Culloden and Balaklava and Blenheim at Megiddo and Solferino at Marathon, where tho Athenians drove back tho Modes at Poictiors, whero Charles Martel broko tho ranks of tho Saracens at Salamis, whero Thomistoclos in tbo great sea fight confounded tho Persians, and at tho door of the eastern cavern of chiseled rock, whore Christ camo out through a recess and throttled tho king of terrors and put him back in tho niche from which tho colestial conqueror had just eniergod. Aha, when tho jaws of tho eastern mausoleum took down tho black giant, "death was swallowod up in victory!"

Abolition of Death.

I proclaim the abolition of doath. The old antagonist is driven back into mythology with all the lore about Stygian ferry and Charon with oar and boat. Wo shall have no more to do with death than we have with the cloakroom at a governor's or president's levee.

We stop at such cloakroom and leave in charge of tho servant our overcoat, our overshoes, our outward apparel that we may not be impeded in the brilliant round of the drawing room. Well, my friends, when we go out of this world we are going to a king's banquet, and to a reception of monarchs, and at the door of the tomb wo leave the cloak of flesh and the wrappings with which we meet the storms of the world. At the close of our earthly reception, uncler the brush and broom of the porter, the coat or hat may be handed to us better than when we resigned it, and the cloak of humanity will finally be returned to us improved and brightened and purified and glorified. You and I do not want our bodies returned to us as they are now. We want to get rid of all their weaknesses, and all their susceptibilities to fatigue, and all their slowness of locomotion. They will be put through a chemistry of soil and bent and cold and changing seasons out of which God wiii reconstruct them as much better than they are now as the body of the rosiest and healthiest child that bounds over the lawn is better than tho sickest patient in tho hospital.

But as to our soul, wo will cross right over, not waiting for obsequies, independent of obituary, into a state in every way better, with wider room and velocities beyond computation tho dullest of us into companionship with tho very best spirits in their very best moods, in the very best room of the universe, the four walls furnished and paneled and pictured and glorified with all the splendors that the infinito God in all ages has been able to invent. Victory!

This view of course makes it of but little importance whether we are cremated or sepultured.Arlf the latter is dust to dust, tho former is ashes to ashes. If any prefer incineration, let them have it without caricature. Tho world may become so crowded that cremation may be universally adopted by law as well as by general consent. Many ox tho mightiest and best of earth have gone through this process. Thousands and tens of thousands of God's children have been cremated. P. P. Bliss and wife, the evang list singers, cremated by accident at Ashtabula bridge John Rogers cremated by persecution, Latimer and Ridley cremated at Oxford, Pothinus and Blondina, a slave, and Alexander, a physician, and their comrades, cremated at the order of Marcus Anrelius. At least a hundred thousand of Christ's disciples cremated, and there can be no doubt about tho rosurrection of their bodies. If tho world lasts as much longer as it has already been built, there perhaps may bo no room for the largo acreage.set apart for tho resting places, but that time has not come. Plenty of room yet, and tho raco need not pass that bridge of firo until it comes to it. Tho most of us prefer tho old way. But whether out of natural disintegration or cremation we shall get that luminous, buoyant, gladsome, transcendent, magnificent, inexplicable structure called tho resurrection body you will have it, I will havo it. I say to you today as Paul said to Agrippa, "Why should it bo thought a tiling incredible with you that God should raise the dead':" Tlui Clouds si .Symbol of the Resurrection.

That far up cloud, -higher 'than the hawk flies, higher than tho eagle llias, what is it made ol? Drops of water from the Hudson, other drops from tho East river, other drops from a stagnant pool out o:i Newark flats. Up yonder there, embodied in a cloud, and the sun kindles it. If God can make such a lustrous cloud out of water drops, many of them soiled and impure and fetched from miles away, can lie not transport tho fragments of a human body from the earth and out of them build a radiant body? Cannot God, who owns all tho material out of which bones and muscle and flesh are made, set them up again if they have fallen? If a manufacturer of telescopes drop a telescope on tho floor, and it breaks, can ho not mend it again so you can see through it? And if God drops the human eyo into tho dust, tho eye which he originally fashioned, can he not restore it? Aye, if tho manufacturer of the telescope, by a change of tho glass and a chango of focus, can make a better glass than that which was originally constructed and actually improve it, do you not think tho fashioner of the human oyo may improve its sight and multiply the natural eyo by the thousandfold additional forces of the resurrection eye? "Why should it be thought with you an incrodible thing that God should raise the dead?" Things all around us suggest it. Out of what grew all those flowers? Out of the mold and earth. Resurrected. Resurrected. Tho radiant butterfly, whero did it como from? Tho loathsomo caterpillar. That albatross that smites the tempest with its wing, where did it como from? A senseless shell. Near Bergerao, France, in a Celtic tomb, under a block, were found flower seods that had been buried 2,000 years. Tho explorer took the flower seed and planted it, and it came up. It bloomed in blueboll and heliotrope. Two thousand years ago buried, yet resurrected. A traveler says he found in a mummy pit in Egypt garden peas that had been buried there 3,000 years ago. He brought them out, and on Juno 4, 1844, he plantod them, and in 80 days tlioy sprang up. Buried 3,000 years, yet resurrected. "Why should it bethought a thing incrediblo with you that God should raise tho dead?" Whore did all this silk come from—the silk that adorns your persons and your homes? In tho hollow of a staff a Greek missionary brought from China to Europe the progenitors of those worms that now supply the silk markets of many nations. Tho pageantry of bannered host and the luxurious articles of commercial emporium blazing out from the silkworms! And who shall bo surprised if, out of this insignificant earthly life, our bodies unfold into something worthy of tho coming eternities? Put silver into diluted niter, and it dissolves. Is rue silver gone forover? -No. Put in some piecea'W copper, and

the silver reappears. If ono force dissolves, another force reorganizes. Out of the Night the Day. "Why should it bo thought a thing incredible with you that God should raise tho dead?" The insects flew and the worms crawled last autumn feebler and feebler and then stopped. They have taken no food they want none. They lie dormant and iusensible, but soon the south wind will blow the resurrection trumpet, and the air and the earth will bo fnll of them. Do you not think that God can do as much for our bodies as he does for the wasps, and tho spiders, and the snails? This morning at half past 4 o'clock there was a resurrection. Out of tho night, the day. In a few weeks there will be a resurrection in all our gardens. Why not some day a resurrection amid all the graves? Ever and anon there are instances of men and women entranced.

A trance is death, followed by resurrection after a few days—total suspension of inontnl power and voluntary action. Rev. William Tennent, a great evangelist of the last generation, of whom Dr. Archibald Alexander, a man far from being sentimental, wrote in most eulogistic terms—Rev. William Tennant seemed to die. His spirit seemed to have departed. People came in day after day and said, "Ho is dead ho is dead." But the soul returned, and W7illiam Tennent lived to write out experiences of what he had seen while his soul was gone. It may lie found some time what is called suspended animation or comatose state is brief death, giving tho soul an excursion into the next world, from which it comes back—a furlough of a few hours granted from the conflict of life to which it must return.

Do not this waking up of men from trance and this waking up of grains buried '5,000 years ago make it easier for you to boliove that your body and mine, after the vacation of the grave, shall rouse and rally, though there be 8,000 years between our last breath and the sounding of tho archangelic reveille: Physiologists tell us that, whilo the most of our bodies aro built with such wonderful economy that wo can spare nothing, and tho loss of a finger is a hindrance, and tho injury of a toe joint makes us lame, still we have two or three apparently useless physical apparati, and no anatomist or physiologist has over been able to tell what they are good for. Perhaps they aro tho foundation of tho resurrection body, worth nothing to us in this state, to bo indispensibly valuable in tho next state. The Jewish rabbis appear to havo had a hint of this suggestion when they said that I in the human frame there was a small bono which was to bo the basis of the resurrection body. That may have been a delusion. But this thing is certain, the Christian scientists of our day havo found out that there aro two or three superfluities of the body that are something gloriously suggestive of another state. I I called at my friend's houso one sum me-r day. I.found tbo yard all piled up with rubbish of carpenter's and mason's work. The door was oil". The plumbers had torn up the floor. The roof was being lifted in cupola. All the pictures were gone, and the paper hangers wero doing their work. All tho modern improvements were bcin_g introduced into I that dwelling. There was not a room in the houso fit to live in at that time, although a month before, when I.visited that liouso, everything was so beautiful

I could not have suggested an improveI went. My friend had gone with his family to tho Holy Land, expecting to come back at the end of six months, when the building was to bo done.

The New House.

And, oh! what was his joy when at tho end of six months ho returned and the old houso was enlarged and improved and glorified! That is your body It looks well now. All the rooms filled with health, and we could hardly make a suggestion. But after awhilo your oul will go to the Iioly Land, and while you aro gono tho old -house of your tabernacle will bo entirely reconstructed from cellar to attic, every nervo, muscle and bono and tissuo and artery must bo hauled over, and tho old structure will bo burnished and adorned and raised and cupolaed and enlarged, and all tho improvements of heaven introduced, and you will movo into it on resurrection day. "For wo know that, if our earthly houso of this tabernaclo were dissolved, we have a building of God, a house not mado with hands, eternal in the heavens." Oh, what a day when body and soul meet again! They are very fond of each other. Did your body ever have a pain and your soul not re-echo it? Or, changing the question, did your soul ever have any trouble and your body not sympathize with it, growing wan and weak under tho depressing influence? Or did your soul ever have a gladness but your body celebrated it with kindled eye and cheek and elastic step. Surely God never intended two such good friends to be very

long separated. And so when the I world's last Easter morning shall como the soul will descend, crying, "Where is my body?'' And the body will ascend, saying, "Where is my soul?" And the

Lord of tho resurrection will bring them togother, and it will be a perfect soul in a perfect body, introduced by a perfeet Christ into a perfect heaven. Victory!

Only tho bad disapprove of tho resurI rection. A cruel heathen warrior heard Mr. Moffat, the missionary, preach about the rosurrection, and he said to tho missionary, "Will my father rise in tho last day?" "Yes, said the missionary. "Will all the dead in battlo riso?" said the cruel chioftain. "Yes," said the missionary. "Then," said tho warI rior, "let me hear no more about the I rosurrection day. There can bo no resurrection, tliero shall bo no resurrection. I I have slain thousauds in battle. Will they rise? Ah, there will be moro to riso on that day than thoso want to seo whoso crimes havo never been repented I of. But for all others who allowed Christ to be thoir pardon and life and resurrection it will bo a day c* victory. The

thunders of tho last day will bo the salvo that greets you into harbor. The lightnings will bo only the torches of triumphant procession marching down to escort you home. The burning worlds flashing through immensity will be the rockets celebrating your coronation on thrones where you will reign forever and forever and forever. Where is death? What havo we to do with death? As your reunited body and soul swing off from this planet on that last day you will see deep gashes all up and down tho hills, deep gashes all through the valleys, and they will be the emptied graves, they will be tho abandoned sepulchres, with rough ground tossed on either side of them, and slabs will be uneven on the rent hillocks, and there will be fallen monuments and cenotaphs, and then for tho first time you will appreciate tho full exhilaration of the text, "He will swallow up death in victory. ..

Old Embroideries.

Iii a wardrobo account in tho timo of Richard II two embroiderers, William Sanston and Robert do Asshocombe, are written down as "Broudatores Domini Regis." In another place Stephen Vyne is mentioned as being appointed chief embroiderer to Richard II and his queen and as having a pension granted liim by Henry IV. Those who havo gone over these numerous accounts systematically have noted entrios re biting to needlework which mention the following persons: ,t'

Adam do Bakering, who was paid 6s. 8d. for silk and fringo to embroider a "ciiesablo" mado by Mabilia of St. Edmunds Adam do Basinges, who made a cop for the king to give to the bishop oi' Hereford Thomas Cheinor, who was paid £140 for a vest of velvet embroidered with divers work for tho chaplain of Edward III William Courtenay, who embroidered a garment for the same monarch with pelicans and tabernacles of gold John do Colonia, who made two vests of green velvet embroidered with gold sea sirens and tho arms of England and Ilainault, and a white robe worked with pearls, and a velvet robe embroidered with gold, for Queen Philippa Rose Bureford, who received 50 marks from Queen Isabella in part payment of 100 marks, for an embroidered cope, and John do Sumercote and Roger the tailor, who wero ordered to make four robes of the best brocade, two for King Henry III and two for his queen, with gold fringo and gems, with special directions to mako tho tunics of softer brocade than that of tho mantles and supertunics.

In one of tho earliest books preserved by tho Corporation of London there is a transcript of a quit claim in which there is ..mention of a piece of cloth 8 ells lon'g- and (i ells wido that Aleyse Darcy embroidered with divers works in gold and silk for tho Earl of Richmond, grandson of Henry III.—Exchange.

Senator CmII's "I'anis." -v''

'•Senator ('all is very popular with tho lower classes, tho cracker element, who consider him the greatest man on earth, and will not vote for a legislative candidate unless ho agrees to support the senator ior re-election whenever his term runs out. When congress adjourns, Mr. ('all comes /home, puts on a gray hickory shirt, a pair of ragged breeches, a coat with large holes at the elbows, an old tail colored, perspiration stained slouch hat and gets into his sulky for an electioneering tour through the state.

He travels over tho sand hills and through the pino forests, stopping at every cabin "to pass the time of daj\" He kisses all the children, asks for a "snack" to eat, and when tho farmer's wife offers him butter he always prefers sorghum on his bread. When night overtakes him, he "puts up" at the nearest farmhouse, no matter how uninviting it may bo, and when ho goes to bed holds out his ragged trousers to his host and says: "I snagged my pants in tho brush today, and I'd bo under everlasting obligations if your good wifo would mend them for me."

Of courso tho woman would sit up all night to patch tho garments of a United States senator, and she puts in her prettiest stitches, but ho rips off tho patch in a day or two and plays the samo game in tho next county. The name of the women in Florida who havo mended Senator Call's pants is legion, and it is the proudest event in their lives.—Cor. Chicago Record.

Traditions and Solomon.

Solomon far eclipses bis father in rabbinical fame. In agreement with most eastern nations the Jews credit him with power over demons and genii. Well might he be called tho wise king, but of the traditional examples of his wisdom we can only give a few. When about to build the temple, ho sent to Pharaoh to lend him tho services of some skilled artificers. Tho Egyptian king, with rather niggardly kingcraft, only sent those who were doomed to die within the year. Solomon sent them back, each man with a shroud, and with the taiRiting message to his brother monarch, "Hast thou no shrouds to bury thine own doad?"

When tho queen of Sheba visited him, among the "questions" that she put to him was one which seriously puzzled the king. In each hand she hold a wreath of flowers, oue of which was natural and ono artificial, but so exquisite was the workmanship of tho latter that, at the distance tho queen stood from tho throne, no difference could bo detected. Could tho wise Solomon, who know all horticulture "from tho cedar that is in Lebanon to the hysnop that springoth out of tho wall," tell his visitor which was tho true and which tho false? Tho king was nonplused for a moment, but only for a moment. He commanded that the doors and windows should bo thrown opon, and the bees, entering ip, answered for him the question of tho queen of tho south.—All the Year Round.

One Man Killed and Another Fatally Wounded,

THE MURDERER THEN SUICIDES,'

Everything Goes to Sliow That the Crime

Was Premeditated and Was the Result

of Jealousy—liis Victims Were Brothers.

The Suicide Occurred in a Cell of

l'rison. Cleveland, April 15.—At 4 o'clock

yesterday morning John Sejhar, a Bohemian laborer, agod 28, shot and instantly killed Carl Riciiter, aged 35r and fatally wounded Albert Riehter, aged 22, tbo brother of the first- victim Two hours later the murderer was found de-ad in a cell at the Central police station, where ho had been taken after his arrest.

The shooting occurred at 99 Poplar street. Carl Rich tor with his brother, Albert, and his wife and five children lived at that number. Sejhar lived in the rear in a house owned by the Richters. Saturday afternoon Sejhar drew liis week's salary and on the way homo he purchased a revolver and a pair of shoes. When he reached home he gave the shoes to his wife, telling her that was the. last pair he would ever buy her, as he was going away. In the evening Sejhar went over to Richter's house and there lie met the two brothers and August Schlegel. They sent out for a keg of beer and began, ta drink. The merrymaking continued until long after midnight.

liis the tho the

Once or twice Sejhar referred to new revolver, and once ho went to door, firing two or three shots into yard to show his companions that weapon was all right. Shortly before 4 o'clock in the morning Sejhar started togo, but one of the Richters asked linn why he was in a hurry, grabbing liiiu by the coat collar and trying to prevent his going. Sejhar went, but soon returned and asked why he had been pulled about in that way. What followed can only be surmised, but ho evidently opened fire on Carl Richter first-. The bullet passed through his arm, two struck him in the neck and must have killed him instantly.

Sejher then shot Bert Rich tor in tho neclc, making an ugly wound, after which he loft the house, going to the home of his sister, a few blocks away. The police were notified at once, and after they had sent the wounded mail to the hospital they followed the murderer, who was arrested as he was leaving the house of his sister, whero ho had hidden the revolver in a bed and disposed of his money and other articles.

rlhe

prisoner .was taken to the Central

station, and locked up about 5 o'clock, being placed in a cell by himself in an upper parr, of the prison. An hour later as an officer was passing the cell he saw the body of Sejhar hanging from the grating of the door. Tho murderer had hanged himself with oue oi lus suspenders and was dead when discovered, though the body was still warm.

The police claim to havo discovered evidence that Sejhar was jealous of tho attentions which Carl Richter had paid is said that on Friday .'.-achrer went to his Jiouso /ar out for some heel*. Inj^ rtejMar returned to the ,v,xing through the window, saw something "which arouse.I his anger. This st e'y, iakeu in conue.-tiou with the piii'c.iase oi: he revol\er and ihe remark v.'.iicii Sejhar made to h:s wife- regarding the shoes he had b-night her, leads to the belief that the murder was premeditated. At the hospital it is said that Albert Richter can not live.
