LIUTE IS too snort t© eat oranges ^vith a spoon.

IN the meantime, who is representing Col. Breckinridge's district in Congress?

COXEY'S Common wea'l Army has been called "The Army of Peace," yet one fatality has already resulted. An Ohio farmer fell dead of heart, disease when he saw the ragged feosts approaching. It is said to have been a heart rending sight.

PRENDERGAST may be insane, but his ravings since the stay of proceedings were granted that saved his neck strike the average mind as being overdone, and are very suggestive of collusion with his attorne}rs. Evidently he is acting a part and doing it well.

THE interest on the bonds of the Mexican National Railway is pa3rable in gold and that corporation suffered a loss in 1SD3 on this account— by reason of converting its revenues, which are almost entirely collected in silver,—of The losses of American railways from this source are not apparent and can not be traced. The probability is that thev did not lose anv thing.

TIIE bankruptcy of the Salvation Army of Kansas City is announced. It is not supposed that this will make any material difference in the city revenues. There has never been much money in salvation any place. Still the fact that the illiterate venders of free salvation are in hard lines and can no longer continue their missionary efforts in behalf of the heathen on our western frontier is worthy of commeut and perhaps regret.

APRIL'S here, winter drear is a thing of the past and at last storm and frost we have lost on the way. Clouds and rain may remain, but they'll bring and upon the earth will fling blossoms gay that will say: "Only wait, sure as fate harvest comes to your homes and we'll fill till they spill all your bins and the tins you may eat fruit and wheat and the land great and grand shall rejoice with one voice. Harvest home it will come and the garnered fruit and grain will remain as a sign of a favor divine." So the spring hope doth bring to the gay and the Bad to the good and the bad, and we feelas upun our drowsy senses steal visions bright that delight, balmy airs that our cares do allay while the fragrant odors stay, that 'tis joy even tho' it has alloy—just to live.

TIIE peculiar phase of constitutional insanity that prompts people to scratch their names and initials upon public buildings, and in other less creditable places, is giving the Commissioners of the Soldiers' Monument at Indianapolis a great deal of trouble. Notwithstanding several persons, including a half-dozen refined and elegant young ladies of the city, havs been arrested and fined for the offense, almost every day a new infraction of the rules and iaw is reported, in spite of the watchfulness of the officers in charge. Why otherwise rational people will yield to an impulse, when they cannot but know that det.ec+ion will surely be followed by .unpleasant consequences, is a mystery that has not yet been satisfactorily explained.

"SOME men are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them." There cannot be two opinions as to which class "Gen." J. S. Coxey belongs. Whatever one may think of his motives, methods or the principles advocated by him and brought into such prominence by his "march to the sea," the fact remains that by 'this proceeding he has achieved notoriety, fame, a certain "honor", and an assured place in the history of his country. "Coxey's crusade" 'will at least rank with "Shay's Re bellion", if it does not accomplish the reforms which its projector alleges he is striving for. Many people will be uncharitable enough to say that this is all that Coxey is aiming at. If that be the case, then he will assuredly succeed in attaining

The summit »his ambition.

THE FAIJLT ALTAR.

The Great Importance of Home Devotions-

An Eloquent Plea for a Home Religion— Dr. Talmage's Sermon.

At the Brooklyn Tabernacle, Sunday, a great audience assembled. The Rev, Dr. Talmage chose for the subject of his sermon "Home Religion," taking his text from Luke viii. 39: "Return to thine own house and show how great things God bath done unto thee." He said:

After a fierce and shipwrecking night, Christ and his disciples are climbing up the slaty shelving of the beach. How pleasant it is to stand on solid ground after having been tossed so long on the billows! While the disciples are congratulating each other on their marine escape, out from a dark, deep cavern on the Gadarene hills there is something swiftly and terribly advancing. Is it an apparition? Is it a man? Is it a wild beast? It is a maniac who has broken away from his keepers, perhaps a few rags on his person and fragments of stout shackles which he has wrenched off in terrible paroxysm. With wild yell and bleeding wounds of his own laceration he flies down the hill.

Back to the boats, ye fishermen, and put out to sea and escape assasination. But Christ stands his ground so do the disciples, and as this flying fury, with gnashing teeth and uplifted fists, dashes at Christ, Christ says: "Hands off! Down at my feet, thou poor sufferer," and the demoniac drops harmless, exhausted, worshipful. "Away, ye devils!" commanded Christ, and the 2,000 fiends which had been tormenting the poor man are transferred to the 2,000 swine, which go to sea with their accursed cargo.

The restored demoniac sits down at Christ's feet and wants to stay there. Christ says to him practically: "Do not stop. You have a mission to execute. Wash off the filth and the wounds in the sea, smooth your disheveled locks, put on decent apparel., and go straight to your desolated home and tell your wife and children that you will no more affright them, and no more do them harm that you are restored to reason, and that I, the omnipotent Son of God, am entitled hereafter to the worship of your household. Return to thine own house and show how great things God hath done unto thee."

While I speak this morning there is knocking at your door, if he be not already admitted, one whose locks are wet with the dews of the night, who would take your children into his arms and would throw upon your nursery, and your sleeping apartments, and your drawing room, and your entire house a blessing that will make you rich while you live and be an inheritance to your children after you have done the last day's work for their support and made for them the last prayer. It is the illustrious one who said to the man of my text, "Return .to thine own house and show how great things God hath done unto thee." Now, in the first place, we want religion in our domestic duties,

You need the religion of Christ in the discipline of your children. The rod which in other homes may be the first means used in yours will be the last. There will be no harsh epithets—"you knave, you villain, you scoundrel. I'll thrash the life out of .you you are the worst child I ever knew." All that kind of chastisement makes thieves, pickpockets, murderers and outlaws of society. That parent who in anger strikes his child across the head-deserves the penitentiary. And yet this work of discipline must be attended to. God's grace can direct us. Alas, for those who come to the work with fierce passion and recklessness of consequences. Between severity and laxativeness there is no choice. Both ruinous and both destructive. But there is a healthful medium which the grace of God will show to us.

Your children are apt to think that what you do is right. They have no ideal of truth or righeousness but yourself. Things which you do, knowing at the time to be Wrong, they take to be right. They reason this way: "Father always does right. Father did this. Therefore this is right. That is good logic, but bad premises. No one ever gets over having a bad example set him. Your conduct more than your teaching makes impression. Your laugh, your frown, your dress, your walk, your greetings,your good-bys, your comings, your goings, your habits at the table, the tones of your voice, are making an impression which will last a million years after you are dead, and the sun will be extinguished, and the mountains will crumble, and the world will die, and eternity will roll on in perpetual cycles, but "there will be no diminution of the force of your conduct upon the young eyes that saw it or the young ears that heard it.

Aristotle said that a boy should begin to study at seventeen years of age. Before that his time should be given to recreation. I cannot adopt that theorv. But this suggests a truth in the right direction. Child4 hood is too brief,and we have not enough sympathy with its sportfulness. We want divine grace to help us in the adjustment of all these matters.

Besides that, how are your childeren ever to become Christians if you yourself are not a Christian? I have noticed that, however worldly and sinful parents may be, they want their children 'good. Wb«*

young people have presented .themselves for admission into bur mem* bership, I have said t© them, "Are your father and mother willing you shall come?" and they have said, "Oh, yes they are delighted to have us come. They have not been in church for ten or fifteen years, but they will be here next Sabbath to see me baptized." I have noticed that parents, however worldly, want their children good.

However worldly and sinful people are they want their children good. How are you going to have them good? Buy them a few good books? Teach them a few excellent catechisms? Bring them to church? That is all very well, but of little final result unless you do it with the grace of God in your heart. Do you realize that your children are started for eternit\r? Are they on the right road? Those little forms that are now so bright and beautiful—when they have scattered in the dust, there will be an immortal spirit living on in a mighty theater of action, and your faithfulness or your neglect now is deciding that destiny.

You say it is too early to bring them. Too early to bring them to God? Do you know how early children were taken to the ancient passover? The rule was just as soon as they could take hold of the father's hand and walk up Mount Moriah they should be taken to the passover. Your children are not too young to come to God. While you sit here and think of them perhaps their forms now so bright and beautiful vanish from you, and their disembodied spirit rises, and you see it after the life of virtue or crime is past, and the judgment is gone, and eternity is here.

Again, I remark, we want religion in all our home sorrows. There are 10,000 questions that come up in the best regulated household that must be settled. Perhaps the father has one favorite in the family, the mother another favorite in the family, and there are many questions that need delicate treatment.

But then there will be sorrows that will come to the householdThere are but few families that escape the stroke of financial misfortune. Financial misfortune comes to a house where there is no religion. They kick against divine allotments, they withdraw from the world because they cannot hold as high a position in society as they once did, and they fret, and they scowl, and they sorrow and they die. Durin» the past few years there have been tens oftthousands of men destroyed by their financial distresses.

Sorer troubles come—sickness and death. Loved ones sleep the last sleep. A child is buried out of sight. You say: "Alas, for this bitter day! God has dealt very severely with me I can never look up. O God, I cannot bear it!" Christ comes in, and He says: "Hush, O troubled soul: it is well with the child! I will strengthen chee in all thy troubles. My grace is sufficient. When thou passeth through the waters, I will be with thee."

But there are hundreds of families i-epresented here this morning where religion has been a great comfort. There are in your homes the pictures of your departed and things that have no wonderful value of themselves, but you keep them preciously and carefully because hands now still once touched them. A father has gone out of this household, a mother has gone out of this, a daughter just after her graduation day, a son just as he was entering on the duties of life.

And to other homes trouble wili come. I say it not that you may be foreboding, not that you may do the unwise thing of taking trouble by the forelock, but that you may be ready. We must go one by one. There will be partings in all our households. We must say farewell. We must die. And yet there are triumphant strains that drown their tremulous accents there are anthems that whelm the dirge. Heaven is full of the shout of delivered captives, and to the great wide field of human sorrow there come now the reaper angels with keen sickles to harvest the sheaves of heaven.

Go home this day and ask the blessing on your noonday meal. Tonight set up the family altar. Do not wait until you become a Christian yourself. This day unite Christ to your household, for the Bible distinctly says that God will pour out his fury upon the families that call not upon his name. Open the Bible and read a chapter that will make you strong. Kneel down and offer the first prayer in your household. It may be a broken petition it may be oniy, "God be merciful tome, a sinner," but God will stoop, and spirits will listen, and angels will chant, "Behold, he prays!"

Do not retire from this house this morning until you have resolved upon this matter. You will be gone. I will be gone, many years will pass and perhaps your younger children may forget almost everything about you, but forty years from now, in some Sabbath twilight, our daughter will be sitting with the family, when she wili stop, and peculiar solemnity will come to her face, and a tear will startf and the children will say, "Mother, what makes you cry?" and she will say, "Nothing, only I was thinking that this is the very Bible out of which my father and mother used uo read at morning and evening prayer."

All other things about you -they may forget, but train them up 'for God and heaven. Thay will not'forget that.

May the 'Lord God of Abraham and Isaab and Jacpb, the God'of our fathers, be otir Gofl atad the

out children forever!

Death of David Dudley Field at an Advanced Age.

David Dudley Field, the celebrated lawyer, died at New York, Friday. Mr. Field was born February 13, Ui0f, and was the oldest of the famous Field Brotders of whom Justice Stephen J. and the Rev. Henry M. are living. Cyrus W. Field, another of the brothers, died some months ago. David Dudley began the practice of law in New York in 182S, and continued

in actual practice until 1S85. during which time he probably achieved more for law reform, and did more toward the preparation of codes of civil and criminal procedure than any man. He labored assiduously before the International Social Science Congress for tho reform and codification of the laws of nations and for the 'substitution of arbitration foT war. He filled an unexpired term in Congress for eight weeks, in 1870, when he was one of the advocates for the Democratic party in tho Hayes-Tilden controversy. Prior to that time he had been a supporter of the Republican party. He was the author of codes on civil and criminal procedure, which have been adopted by a majority of the States and Territories. His career has been remarkable and his reputation as a lawyer was international. Mr. Field returned to New York April 5 lroin an extended Europoan trip. He was taken vith pneumonia April 11, and died Auril 13

(From the Terre K'jire.-i* Four miles to the northwest of Terre Haute, as the pigeon Hies, lies the beautiful and picture 'que village of St. Marys. This is a iu inin ati.otic institution which has attained something' more than national celebrity. Fifty years ago it was est-blished by six Sisters of Provid ne i, who came irom the shore- of France to Jay the foundation tor this groat ch ritable order, it now consists of the homo ol trie Sisters of Providence, known as the Providence Qouse, a In.* go fe.'nnl.' seminary, one of the finest chapels in the nited States, and i!, rectory in which the priests make their home. it is also the Mecci to which, hundreds ol bisters of Charity llock each year nuiko llnir annual retreat.

The answer was that particular attention is p:tid by the sisters in charge of the health and happine of tiie students.
