K. .Fairbanks, the great Chicago lard merchant. The flames destroyed, the two big elevators, A and B, of the \rander--hilt system, a big brick building stretching from Fifty-ninth street to Sixtieth street, and occupied jointly by the Fairbanks lard refinery and the Rossiter stores, and wiped out the dock property of the Now York Central Railread system from Fifty-ninth to pas! Sixty-fifth street. At least one man was killed in his h.-adlong flight, from 1 ine fire at the first outbreak. A number were injured by jumping from the windows of the burning buildings, but in the wild terror of the conflagration no account. was kept of them. The total loss is fully $3,500,000.

An exciting scene was enacted Tuesday evening in the "VVesleyan Female College at Cincinnati, the leading actors being Rev. Dr. Brown, President of the college, and Signor Fabiani, tiie music teacher. Dr. Brown had inadvertently omitted to include in the music teachers monthly check, eight dollars expenses of a trip made by Signor Fabiani, and for this the music teacher became so abusive and insulting that a oersonal encounter followed, in which Fabiani was knocked down.. Liter Fabiani attacked the doctor in the hall and attempted to drag him to the stairway, but again the doctor proved the better man and the music teacher was paid and discharged. Dr. Brown is sixty years old, Fabiani about thirty-five.

Notice also that Christ's mausoleum was opened by concussion. It was a great, earthquake that put its twisted key into the involved and labyrinthine lock of that tomb. Concussion! That is the power that opens ail the tomb3 that are onened at all.' Tomb oi soui and tomb of nations. Concussions between England and the thirteen colonies, and forth comes free fwverninent in America, Concussion between France and Germany, and forth comes republicanism for France. Concussion among the rocks on Mount Sinai, and on two of them was left a periect law for all ages. Concussion among the rocks around Calvary and the crucifixion was made the more overwhelming. Concussion between the United States and Mexico, and a vast area of country becomes ours. Concussion between England and France, and most of this continent west west of the Mississippi becomes the property of the American Union. Concussion between iceberg and iceberg, between bowlder, and bowlder, and a thousand concussions put this world into shape for man's residence. Concussion between David and his enemies, and out came psaims which otherwise would never have been written. Concussion between God's wili and man's will, and, ours overthrown, we are new creatures in Christ Jesus, Concussion of misfortune and trial for many of the good, and out comes their especial consecration. Do not, therefore, be frightened when you see the great upheavals, the great agitations, the great, earthquakes, whether among the rocks or among the Nations or iu individual experience. Out of them God wdll bring best results and most magnificence consequences. Hear the crash all around the Lord's sarcophagus and see the glorious reanimation of its dead inhabitant. Concussion! If ever a general European war, which the world has been expecting for the last twenty years should come, a concussion so wide and a concussion so tremendous would not leave a throne in Europe standing as it now is. The nations ot the earth are tired of having their kings born to them and there would be an Italian republic and a German republic and a Russian republic, and out ot the cracks and crevices and chasms of that concussion, would come resurrection tor all Europe. Stagnation is death(ul concussion is Messianic.
Notice also what the angel did with the stone after he had rolled it away from the mouth of the Savior's mausoleum. The book says he rolled away the stone from the door and, sat upon it. All of us ministers have preached a sermon about the angel's rolling away the stone, but we did not remaik upon the sublime fact that he sat upon it. Why? Certainly not because he was tired. The angels are a fatigueless race, and that one could have shouldered every rock around that tomb and carried it away and not been besweated. He sat upon it. I think, to show you and to show me that we may make every earthly obstacle a throne of triumph. The young men who get their education easy seldom amount to much. Those who had to struggle for it come out atop. There is no end of the story of studying by pine knot lights, and reading while the mules of the tow path were resting, and of going hungry and patched and barefoot, and submitting to all kinds of privation to get scholastic advantages. But the day of graduation came, and they took the diplomas with a hand nervous, from night study and pale from lack of food, and put their academic degrees in the pocket of a threadbare coat. Then, starting for another career of hardship, they entered a profession or a business where they found plenty of disheartenment and no help. Yet saying, "I will succeed God help me, for no one else will," they went on and up until the world was compelled to acknowledge and admire them. The fact was that the obstacle between their discouraging start ana their complete success was ft rock of. fifty tons, but by a resolution nervedanamusculari*edandrei

AR0MATICS FOR EASTER
THE RISEN CH.rTGT V\l MEMOKiES OF flfiS COMING.
Thorns Are Ctvst Aside and Flowers it iitfd--• ragrant Blossoms ?houtd .vliiUe Homes Iieuolent,
R-v. Dr. Talmage' preached at the Brookly Tabernacle, Sunday. Subject: •'Aromatics for Easter,*' Text, Luke xsiv., 1. He said:
Enchanting work have I before me this Easter morning, for, imitating these women of the text, who brought aromatics to the mausoleum of Christ, I am going to unroll irankmcense and ottar of roses and cardamon from the East Indies una edors from Arabia, and when we can inhale no more of the perfume then we will talk of sweet sounds and hear from the music tha' shall wake tiie (iead. Having on other Easters described the whole scene, I need only in four or nve sentences say. Christ was lying flat on his back, lifeless, amid sculptured rocks, rocks over uim, rocks under him, and a deor of rocks all bounded by the flowers and fountains of Joseph's country seat. Then a bright immortal having descended iVom heaven, quick and dishing as a falling meteor, pick's up the doer of rock and puts it aside as though it was a chair and sits on it. Then Christ unwraps himself of his mortuary apparel and takes the turb.ui t-rom hia he*'d and tolas it up deliberately and lays it down in one pi ace, and then puts the shroud in another place, and comes out and finds that the soldiers who bad been on guard are lying around, pallid and in a dead swoon, their swords bent and useless.
The illustrious prisoner of the tomb is discharged and five hundred people see him at once. An especial congress of eccles:ast!cs called to pay a bribe to the resusiiatcd soldiers to say that there was no resurrection, and that while they were overcome of slumber the Christians had played resurrectionists and stolen the corpse. The Marys are at the tomb with aromatics...
Why did not these women of the text bring thorns and nettles, for these would more thoroughly have expressed the iercing sorrows of themselves and their Lord? Why did they not bring some national ensign, such as that of the Roman eagle, typical of conquest? No, they bring arcmatics suggestive to me of the fact that the Gospel is to sweeten and deodorize the world. The world has so much oi putrefaction and rnalodor that Christ is going to roll over it waves oi* frankincense and sprinkle it all over with sweet-smelling myrrh.

strength o* a supernatural wrestler, rolled back the stone, and, having become more than conquerors, they sat upon it. Men and women are good and great and useful just in proportion as they had to overcome obstacles. You can count, upon the fingers of your one hand ali the great singers, great orators, great poets, great patriots and great Christians who never had a struggle. The angel that made a throne of the bowlder at Christ's tomb went back to heaven, and I warrant that, having been born in heaven and always had an easy time. He now speaks of that wrestle with the rocks as the most interesting chapter in all his lifetime. O, men and women with obstacles in the way, I tell you that those obstacles are only thrones that you may after a while sit on. Is the obstacle in your way sickness? Conquer it by accomplishing more for God during your invalidism than many accomplish who have never known an ailment. Are you persecuted? By your uprightness and courage compel the world to acknowledge your moral heroism. Is it poverty? Conquer it by being happy in the companionship of your Lord and Master, who in all his life owned but sixty-two cents, and that he got from a fish's mouth, and immediately paid it out. in taxes to the Roman Assessor, and who would have been buried in a potter's field had not Joseph of Arinr.ithea contributed a place, for he who had not where to lay his head during hia life had a borrowed pillow for the last slumber. Tiiere is no throne that you are sure to keep except that which you make out of vanquished obstacles. An. ungrateful republic at the ballot box denied Horace Greeley the highest place at. the National Capital, but could not keep him from rising from he steps of a New York printing ofiice on which he sat one chilly morning waiting for the boss printer to come that he might get a job, until he mounted the highest throne of American journalism. He roiled back the stone and eat upon it.
Yet do not make the mistake that many do of sitting' on it before it is roiled away. It is bound to go if you only tug away at it. if not before, then I think about twelve o'clock noon of resurrection day you will see something woith seeing. The general impression is that the resurrection will take place in the morning. The ascent to the skiea will hardly occur immediately. It will take some hours to form the procession stiyward, and we wiil. all want to take a look at this world before we leave it forever, and see the surroundings of the couch where our bodies have long been sleeping.
On that Easter morning the marble, whether it lay flat upon your grave or stood flat in monument, will have to be jostled and shaken and rolled aside by the angel of resurrection, and while waiting for your kindred to gather and the procession to form your resurrected body may sit in holy triumph upon that chiseled stone which marked the place ot your protracted slumber. On that day'what a fragile thing will be Aberdeen granite aud comma of basalt and mortar which will rattle out of the wali of van'.ts that have been sealed a thousand years, and the Taj built for a queen in Indii, a sepulcher 'z7o feet high and tn'ad'e "Sl'j'icper- and cornehan and turqncis ami iipis-lazuii and amethyst and •onyx aud sapphire and diamond, and' which shall that day rain into glittering dust on groves of banyan and bamboo ud palm. And all under what power? Ponderous crowbars wielded by giants? Nc. Thunderbolt cieaving asunder the granite? No. Battering ram swung against the walls of cemeteries? No. Dynamite drilled under the foundations of cenotaph and abbey? iNo. It will be done by music. Not-hiug but music, sweet, but all penetrating music. The trumpet shall sound! You say that is figurative? how do you know? But, hether literal or figurative, it means music anyhow. The trumpet, the stirring, incisive, mighty instrument, with a natural compass from beiow the staff to E above, blown above Sinai when the law was given, blown around Jericho when the walls tumbled, blown when Gideon discomfited the Midianites, blown when the ancient Israelites were gathered for worship, to be blown for the risinng of the dead in the last
Easter. The mother who, when child must be awakened, kisses its eyes awake, does well. But the trumpet, which, when the dead are to be aroused kisses the ear awake, does better. Be not surprised if the dead are to be awakened by music.
Why, this is the way we now raise the dead. Take the statistics, if you can, of the millions of souls that have been raised from the death of sin by hymns, by psalms, by solos, by anthems, by flutes, by violins, by orgaPs, by trumpfdr Under God what hosts have been resurrected by Ira D. Sankey, by Thomas Hastings, by William D„ Bradbury, by Lowell Mason, by motherly lullabies, by church doxologies, by oratorios! If we raise the dead now by music, be not surprised that on the last day the dead are to be raised by music.
The most of people are dead. The world is a house of two rooms—a basement and a room above ground. The basement has two to one, three to one, four to one more occupants than the superstructure. Sickness, war and death have been stacking their harvests for near six thousand years. Where are those who saw the Pilgrim Fathers embark, or the Declaration of Independence signed, or Franklin lasso the lightning, or Warren Hastings tried, or Queen Elizabeth in her triumphal march to Kenilworth, or William, Prince of Orange, land, or Gustavus Adolphus crowned, or Jerome of Prague burned at the stake, or Tamerland found his empire? Gone! Gone!
But the trumpet shall sound. Music to raise the dead. Oh, how touch the world needs it. You take a torch and I will take a torch and we will go through some of the aisles of the Roman catacombs and see the expectant epitaphs on the walls and right over where the departed sleep. You know that these catacombs are fifty or sixty feet under ground, and if one loses the guide or his torch is extinguished, he never finds the way out. So let. us stay close together and with our torches, as we wander, along a small part of these nine hundred miles of underground passages, see the inscriptions as they were really chiseled there on both sides the way. On your side you read by the light of your torch: "Here reBts a handmaid of God who out of all her riches now possess but this one house. Thou wilt remain in eternal repose of happiness. A. I). 380." On my side I read by the light of the torch: "Aurelia, our sweet»t oaaghter she lived fifteen yeartfandl^S^ths^ A. D. 825.'^ On
5
beautiiul. Buried in peace, A. D. 3S8." On my side I read: "You well deserving one, lie in peace. You will rise. A. temporary rest is granted you. Plaucus, her husband made this." On your side you read: "Nicephorus, a sweet soul, in the place of refreshment." On my side I read: "In Christ. Alexander is not dead, but lives beyond the stars, and his dead body rests in his tomb." On your side you read. "Here, happy, you find rest bowed down with years." "Irene {deeps in^God." "Naleria sleeps in peace." "Arethuca sleeps in God." "Navira in peace, a f-weet soul who lived sixteen years, a soul sweet as honey this epitaph was made by her paren's."
But let us come out from these catacombs and extinguish, our torches, for upon all these longings and expectations of all nations the morning of resurrection dawns. The trumpet shall sound. And the sooner it sounds the better. Oh, how we would like to get our loved ones back again! If we are ready to meet our Lord. Our sins all pardoned, what a good thing if at this mordent we could hear the resounding and reverberating blast! Would you not like to 3ea your father again, your mother again, your daughter again, your boy again, and all your departed kindred again? Roll on sweet day of resurrection and reunion! Under the lioofs of the white steeds that draw our chariot we strew Easter Sowers. Would it not, be grand if we could all rise together? You know that the Bible says we shall not ail sleep, but we shall ali he changed. What if we should be among the favored ones who never have to see death, aud that while in the fail hie of our body we should hear that trumpet, sound and thes'e mortal bodies lake on immortality? Oh, how I would hssifn to two places before the close of su-.-.b a day—peaceful Greenwood and the village cemetery back of Somerviile. And I would cry aioud: "The hour has come, the trumpet has souuded, the resurrection is here, father ar.d mother. You were the best of ad the group, now lead the way?" The earth sinks out of sight. Clouds under foot. Other worlds only mile-stones on the King's highway. We rise! We tise! We rise! to be forever with tho Lord and forever with each other. May we all have part in that first resurrection.

Hicse rneo had been holding meetings amongthe ignorant classes of the country and bad formed a colony to go to TUah. Ibis had been carried en against the"'/" judgment of the better class of citizens, but'no action fo stop it was taken until' tiie last issue of the Ozark Star advised the people to tar and feather the Mormons ami drive them away. '«his was enough. Monday night some forty of tiie so-called best citizens in the northern part of tiie county, without the slightest, attempt, at disguise, surrounded the house of Gid Irons, a recent convert, v.dio was entertaining the fire missionaries. Without delay they ^ere brought out, ripped to the waist and tied in a row. Then each of the regulators, with ii long switch struck (aeh prisoner a sounding blow. By the time the last idow was given two of the men had fainted and the others were wet. with blood. After the whipping the men's legs were given a thick coabug of tar and feathers, and they were warned to leave instantly or suffer death. Irons was told that if the Mormons were found in bis house again he, too, would be whipped.
