PAPERS FROM DR. TALMAGE

EDUCATIONAL QUALITY OF WOMEN. The Brooklyn Divine peaki a Good Word for rnRl-Oit Vek Iiy Tollers and Advocatra the Saturday Iladf-IIoliday. B: ROOK LYN, June 23. I have rcn out attending college commencements. Our literary institutions are in a blaze of celebration. Six baccalaureate pennons in one day and ixty-tive commencement speeches in another, and hundreds of young doctors c Liinj; forth from our medical colleges, and hundreds of younj advocates graduating from our lavr institutes, and hundrcdnof ministers launching from our t Ideological eeminaries, arouse tho question: "What are we going to do with po many? The Question is easily answered. Tbcy will decide for themselves upon their life work. Scores of those educated for physicians will never fctay doctors. Scores of thoso educated for lawyers will r.ot 6tay advocates. .Scores of thoso educated for mini-ders will not stay clergyi ten. Many of them launched by their parents or particular surroundings to do rne thin? will do another. They will naturally do that for which they arc beft .ualified. Rut i not tho Bupply greater tiiun the demand? Xo. Tho world's population is mightily increasing, and we want in all departments more hands and hearts and heads. The world can never have a mrplus of educated n. ! You My that hundreds of those l:i-.'!!y educated turn out nerveless and Uvic.-s. Ye, but how much more their d. .'ii it had no opportunities been ati'orded tl. m ! The work will go on until thort ugh education will conic within the r"ach of all the people, and ignorance will be forever banished from the earth. What is now called liberal education will come to help lalor in all departments until chemistry and geologv shall be barneyed to every plow, and pcience will jrune and trim and enrich and redeem every orchard; and mathematics and natural philosophy will help in the construction and management of all machinery, and those tiling that arc considered the luxuries of education will Ik? the common and universal possession of all the people. S miu-li luv the etanlarl of collegiate education been advanced that those who used to graduate with honors from universities would not now be qualified to enter some of our modern colleges. The ppeeches now made by the young men fct commencements are far (superior to those of our lioyhood. The cold humdrum about i recce and Homer has Ixen exchanged for harangues nliout thethiuir.i of hero and to-lay. Tho sylphs, the dryads, tho naiads", the gods have gone out of business. lngfellov turns out to be a Ix-tter poet than Homer an'd Ilam-roft a better hitorian than Hrolotus, and we have titty orators w ho can beat 1 Demosthenes. The absurd hulo has melted fram the brow of tho ancients, and the old philosophers could not keen up w ith a class in our polytechnic or Packer. I have more respect for the modern than the ancients. Washington pot angry and pitched a negro servant out of the window at Mt. Vernon, ami in the biography of Thomas .feilt rsoti wo find that the signing of the declaration of independence was hastened bv the fact that nxt to Independence hall. Philadelphia, was a livery stable, and that the horse-flies left their perch ano day and Attacked the American congress, ami bit and Münz the members bo that those who could not before tre t their courage up to pign thf tremendous document at the intolerable annoyance of the flies hastily penned their names so as to get out and away from the cutaneous irritation. Coll. gii'.te education has been revolutionized, and the mind of the ctudent is not so stufled with the baggage of Itin and Greek that he has no room for practical every -day information. Ixxjk at the graduate of this season and you will find vast improvement. J y regatta and bas l all dub, and pynasium and military drill, elates of healthy men are launched from the dry-docks instead of those cray crafts that were loaded to the water's edge with physical infirmities enough to sink them before they got out as far as quarantine. In many ot the institutions a great achievement has been made in the fact that male ani female education go sile by side ju.Kt as (iod intended it. He put the two pexes beside caeh other in Eden. He puts them be-side each other in the family. Y"hv not side by side in colleges? This land w ill not le what it ought to be until woman has equal opportunity for thor- . ough education with man. bhc has greater responsibilities. Certainly she should not have 1c opportunity. The mothers decide the destiny of nations. Men mean and szjnll-souled and inefficient had mean and small-souled an I inelicient mothers; but good and grand and useful rcen had mothers of good heart and stout pense. Mother wit or lack of it decides almost everything. Gumption is an indispensable characteristic. .N'oiv, fumption is inherited from the mother, ligher btyle of education for women means more gumption. Is it possible that anyone wants to know what gumption is? Then I will define it. Gumption is that quality of mind and heart by which well, it yon do nrL kno-.r w hat" it is it is beeanFO your are ljr-kiDg in gumption! Bring woman's education to the perfection oi man's and there will bo more. equipo;.s3 of character and stronger equipment tor the generations ioliowing. Coeducation ii no proposed at Columbia college. Co-educf.tion is poiiit to be the rallying cry for the universities throughout Christendom. We want more female doctors. Naturally qualified by the Jxrd with higher qualities for the attendance upon the sick, why should woman not have all possible advantages of improving her especial facülty ia tnat direction ? Many of ns would have been dead lng ago had it not been for matcriif-l or sisterly or wifely nursing. It is lim that, the world stop deriding the female medical colleges as every spring they h2nd out the diplomas to their grad

uates. AVewant more womanly lawyers added to the catalogue of thoso who are already pleading in the courts of this country. No one surely could plead for woman's lifo like a woman. Our laws about dowers, about divorce, about defense against husbandly squandering o.f estates, about tho holding of property will never bo what they ought to be until there aro a great number of women with severest legal acumen able to shape statutes and confront courts on these questions. Yea, we want female preachers. Purely she who was Ia.t at the cros ami first at the scpulcher ought to be able to tell tho gos;cl story with surprising etl'cctiveness. The; pulpit has already had its Miss Smiley aud its hucrctia 5lott, and the law in the presbyterian church which arraigned a clergyman n a criminal if ho allowed a woman topreach has been moditied to let every presbytery do as they think bet. Tho doors "of "our colleges, now set ajar to let women crowd in, must be swung wide open. I hail the improved condition of manly education a revealed in the annual commencements, and the improved prospect for womanly achievement, notwithstanding the vote of a celebrated medical society against tho admission of women to membership. T. DeWitt Talmage. THE HALF HOLIDAY.

It 1 nt rinnnrlully mid Mor.-xlly to Clos ßntunlujr Afternoon. Ekooklyn, June Üfl. Whether it is best in cold weither to keep stores and shops and factories going all Saturday may Iks a question that will evoke difference of opinion, but there, can bo no doubt that in hot weather it is best financially and morally to close Saturday afternoon. We hail this movement in the name of humanity and religion, aud suggest that all styles of business join in it. We shall never have our Sabbaths properly olperved until a portion of each secular week bo proclaimed a holiday. Keep clerks and employes at the counter and the wheel from Monday morning to Saturday night and all your preach ing from now until doomsday on the text "llcinember the Sabbath lay to Keep It Holy" will for tho most "part be waMed breath. High sense of relicious obligation may lead a few, after Iw ing indoor all tho secular week, to remain indoor on Sabbath for spiritual profit; but the vast multitudes will go to the fields or the beach. I am not talking about what ought to le, but alnuit what is. There must be some timo for outing, and if iL is not taken from man's time it w ill be taken from tho lord's time. We who can have u day oil' whenever we want it must rememler there are hundreds of thousands of people in all our cities who can not have a day oh". It is all the time grind, grind, grind. The year is an ever-present monotony. Wc punctuate the paragraph of our life by an occasional pause, but their chapters of fntigue go on without comma or semi-colon or period or interjection ioint. Sunday morning comes in ruidsumrnmer, and the father sees around the breakfast tabic his pale wife and drooping children and all Ins ow n bones ache, and he has to choose letween the church and ojen air. The thermometer before noon will bo in the nineties. Their house stands in the center of a block, and tho w indow s are not so situated that they can tempt a cool draught to enter. The father puts it to a vote: "All in favor of church will say aye. All in favor of Prospect park ,w ill say no." The noes have it. I)o not call that family w icked. That father has toiled since early manhood tosupuort his household, and" the mother has drudged for tho lat fifteen year to keep her children well and respectable. itness those living. Witness thoso dead. Now, w hat is needed is free Saturday afternoons. Then the toiling millions havo no excuse for Sabbath-breaking. Saturday afternoon for an outing, Sabbath day for the soul. If by grind conspiracy all the business men of these cities would plot for the overthrow of Sabbath desecration let them unharness the six hours of the closing week and turn them otit into the sunshine and the fresh air. "What an absurd thing you havo done," I said to a committee who had advertised me to' lecture in Kxeter hall, Indon, at - o'clock Saturday afternoon. "Why that is the time when all the people are busy in winding up the work of the week and" we shall have no audience." "Oh, no," they said, " Jondon is free on Saturday afternoon, and it is the loxt timo for all styles of entertainment." So I found a thronged assemblage at an hour when in our Steinw ay hall or our Academy of Music a gathering of that sort would le an impossibility. Now, what is good for London and Manchester is good for American tow ns and cities. Tho trouble is, we do not exercise enough common sense in these matters pertaining to the welfare of the public ana in regard to the advancement of the Christian religion. We lay out pome plan that suits our case, but do not recognize the fact that that plan may fail to suit the cases of a vast multitude of our population. I advocate this Saturday afternoon closing en the ground of economics a well as on the ground of fairness. You all know the difference between cheerful labor and dull lalKir, between healthy work and sick work, between a tired brain and a rested brain, between a weak arm and a strong arm. Put it down in vour minds as s statement, for w hich I challenge contradiction, that fclerks, mechanics, employes of all sorts will do more work in five days and a-half than in six. Give this proposed release and you reinforce, your store, your shop, your factory. You put another wheel into the mill-race, you ptit another salesman behind your counter, you add another line of profit to your account book. You fatten all the other days of the week on the Saturday afternoon banquet. It means more money instead of less for all capitalists and business firms. Hoes the physician have less prosperous profession beeauso he announces his oil ico hours only from 10 to 12 or from 3 to 5? No. That arrangeineut conceutrates and augments. Instead of much of the time having your clerks lounging about the store with nothing to do they would be more consecutively busy. Your pro9ierity depends not on "the numlcr of hours vour establishment is open, but upon the amount of work done while it is open. Of course, to accomplish this there must be a combination of effort. If a few dry-goods establishments close and others are kept open the open stores will rob the others of custom. If a few grocery stores close and others decline to join in the movement thesokwt will take the patronage of the former. But it the moveme nt be rightfully set on foot all tho respectable establishments will join it, and those that defy the general sentlement on this pubject will be marked as unsympathetic and put under the ban o: public opinion, and all good men and women will say: "Iet us patronize those establishments which arc kind to their employes, and let U3 turn our backs on the commercial C'ra(grhnli." I would like to sound tho keynote of a humanitarian and Christian movement which shall enlist all dealers in dry Roods, in groceries, in hardware, in phöes, in confectionaries, in books and stationary, and would liberate wheelrights, i.himbers, carjenters, masons, paperhangers and foundrymen, saying to all the people: "Take Saturday afternoon for your body and Sunday for your soul." But let, all tho freed populations of Saturday afternoon stand clear of the liquor saloons. The only argument that can be made against the Saturday afternoon closing U that this weekly vacation may be

turned into wassail. r.etter have no Saturday afternoon free from now until the day of your death if theliquor ßaloon adds you to Its discipleship. The. rum business is pouring its vitriolic and damnable liquids down the throats of hundreds of thousands of laborcrs aud while tho ordinary strikes are ruinous both to employers and employes I proclaim a strike" universal against strong drink, which, if kept up, will be the relief of the working classes and tho salvation of tho nation. I will undertake to 6ay that there is not a hcalthv laborer in the United Shite who wit Kin the next ten years, if ho will refuse all intoxicating beverages and bo saving, may not become a capitalists on a small scale. Our country in a year spends Sl,.roO,ft")0,00) lor rum. Of course the working classes do a great deal of this expenditure. Careful statistics show that tho wage-earning classes of Great Uri Lain expend in liquors XlOO.OiX)), or $"G),000,000 a year. Sit dow n and calculate, O workingman! how much you have expended in these directions. Add it all up. Add un what your neighbors have extended, and realize that instead of answering the beck of other people you might havo been your own capitalists. When you deplete a workingman's physical energy von deplete his capital. The stimulated workman gives out before the unstimulated workman. My father said: "I became a tcnyerance man in early life because I noticed in the harvest field that though I was physically weaker than other workmen I coüld hohl out longer than they. They took stimulants, I took none." A brickmaker in Kngland gives his experience in regard to this matter among men in his employ. llo says, after investigation: "Tho beer drinker who made tho fewest bricks made öofWM) ; tho abstainer who made the fewest bricks, 74,0OO. Tho difference in behalf of tho abstainer over the indulwr, 87,000." There came a very exhausting time in tho JJritish parliament. The session wa. prolonged until nearly all the members got sick or worn out." Out of mL' members only two went through undamaged; they we're teetotalers. When an army goes out to thebattlcthe soldier w ho lias water or coffee in his canteen marches easier and lights better than the soldier who has whisky in his canteen, lium helps a man to fight w hen he has only one contestant anil that at the street corner. Put w hen he goes forth to maintain some great battle for God and bis conntry, he wants no rum about him. When the Russians goto war a corporal asses along tho line and smells tho breath of every soldier. If there le in his breath a taint of intoxicating liquor tho man is sent back to the barracks. Why? He canuot endure fatigue. All our young men know this. When they are preparing for a regatta or for a base ball club or for an athletic wrestling they abstain. Our working people will bo wiser after awhile, and the money they throw away on hurtful indulgences they will put irto co-operative associations aud so become capitalists. Have Saturday afternoon free, but by all means have it sober. T. PuWjtt Talmage.

AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF A CAT

OTHER STORIES FOR YOUNG PEOPLE. A Toting Kffjf Tester A Warranted Ru plclon An Kprelre Aunwer Trouble Above Young Folks' Talk Knotty Problems. f RECENT number of tho Woman'i Journal contains the autobiography I A of a cat and this is tho way tho cat q tells bcr story: "I am not a horrid yellow cat, even if Sarah Jano docs say so. My mother always Raid my coat was the color of old gold, ami my mother knew much better than Sarah Jane. Ilcsides, Sarah Jano ia very ignorant sho could no morw catch a rat than fche could lly to tho moon. I admit that kIio i an excellent ceok, and broils fteak beautifully, but then what does fho know about cats? Neither has this creature one bit of gratitude. Why, one day I went into tho kitchen, and there, on tho top of tho table, was Sarah, dancing a war-danco liko a wild Indian. I thought surely sho had gone mad. Looking around, J .saw a tiny mouse in tho corner, nearly frightened to death. As it ran across the lloor, Sarah began another wild dunce, looking imploringly at me, to deliver her from the dreadful enemy. So, just as my mistress, Miss Ilalinda, camo in to Pee if the houso was tumbling elown, I seized tho enemy and took it homo for tho children's dinner. Then, would you believe it, Sarah never oven thanked me, nor gave mo one bit of dinner! Next timo sho may catch her own mouse. I wish you could seo my beautiful family. We wero very happy together until Miss Iialinda's nephew Don discovered our home in tho barn. One morning I loft them fat asleep, and when I camo back with threo fat little mice, I heard a miau under tho appletree. I stoppe d to lislcn, and heard a J taint cry on the piazza, then another in tho library. Under the applc-treo was a little, yellow-haired girl dressed in blue, ringing my daughter (irey to sleep in the hammock. I was very amrry indeed. Then looking through the library window, I saw that red-headed Ion teaching my beautiful Snowllako to play on the piano; a tho same time I heard a voice say: "Now, pussy, spell c-u-f, you surely ought to know that!" I dropped the mice and opened my mouth in astonishment, for there was my son Jet taking his first spelling lesson. Please just iinagino my feelings! After a long timo those dreadful children brought my kittens back, nml 1 was so angry that I spit and growleel at them till thev ran away. Yesterday they kidnapped my family again, so I started out to find them. As 1 walked into tho hall, Miss Ilalinda was saying to a stately old gentleman, who was going away: '"Yes, just before tho smoke camo into my room, I was awakened by a pulling at. my dres, an excited crying and scratching on tho lounge whoro I was lying. I ojened my eyes, and there was (ioldenrod; at the same time I heard the cry of "Fire!" and just had time to escape w ith my life. "No, Joldenrcd is really not a beautiful cat, but she is as good as gold, and that is the reason I have provided for her in my will, in case I should die first." As the old judge took up his hat to depart, he thought it much heavier than when ho left it, so he looked to see, and there, on the white satin lining of Judge Mayhew's tall silk hat was Jet all curled up in a fuzzy black ball fast asleep. At night as L went to put the kittens to bed I heard Miss l'alinda te lling her small guests how I once had saved her life, and tho little yellow-haired girl said: "O, aunt llalinda, what a dear old cat!" an I red-headed I Km promised to buy a whole porter house steal for (iohlenrod's dinner to-morrow.

SOME HONEST FACTS.

The Denesolent Institutions Gov. Porter'a Ilecorri.aud Other Matters. Harrison for president and Torter lor rorernor will "land" Indiana republicans htph and dry, and then, lor one thlnp, the prostitution of the state's benevolent Institution will he stopped by the application of tho rules of nu rit and utno., and not politics. We will havo civil service rciorui in tho institutions. The helpless wards of the stite will no longer be plven over to the abuse and outrapft of brutality and negloct because of the demands of party reward and the Infamy of personal favoritism. To tub KniToi: Sir: The forepolnj? is from the Indianapolis daily AWca of June '27. It was a prent oversight that the late Chicago convention didn't make the "correction of the (alleged) abuses practice.! at the Indiana hov pi tal for the iiisnne under democratic rule," a rlank in the platform, for (Ji n. Ilarri.-on, in his Detroit speech, made this the key-note of the Indiana cainnai?n: "And for oue thin, the prostitution of the state benevolent institu lions will be stopped, by the rules of merit an. I fitness, and uot politics. YVe will have civil service reform in thoe institutions." What consummate du plicit y 1 Who ever henr J of a democrat holding a position, hiph or low, in any of tho bcucvoleut institutions of the Mate when undcrrcpublicnncontrol? We defy any one to point out a single instance. When the democratic party got to the trout, after having for so many years occupied the back ground in the administration of the atlairs of the state government, they found nil of the stntc charitable institutions entirely in the hands of the republicans, the various positious, great and pmall, tilled bv them, ami all of their appliances bcin; wielded in the interests of the republican party. Particularly was this the case of the Indiana hospital Tr the insane, located in Wnyne township, Marion countv. After thi.i institution came under democratic control, the political status of the township vu s changed. Wayne township for ninny years had been cousidcred one of the Ptrorjj holds of republicanism in Marion county, because of the votes controlled by the republican hospital management. When this change was: developed, what a howl went up; for this township contained many influential, rabid republicans. As a natural consequence, it bitter vnr vas waged ngalnst the hospital management by th e same influential Wayne township republicans, vt ho at once raised the cry of non-partisanship in the state benevolent institutions. Then came charges of mismanagement, tinv. holr.so.ne food aud brutal treatment of the iomntes, etc., etc. While this scheme was being worked locally, the lending party manipulators concluded that it might be used with etl'ect in the then approaching state campaign: and to give the move a non-partisan aspect, the matter was placed in the hands of the so-called state civil service commission, au entirely self-constituted body, organized for the occasion, conmofcd entirely of ultra republicans, such as tho lion. W. Dudley Foulke, than whom the state does not contain a more unscrupulous partisnu; Oliver T. Morton, Lucius li. bwitt and others; who, utterly regardless of truth and the damaging ellcct their nefarious course would have upon the good name of the state, and the groat amount of pain and uneasiness it would firoduee in the minds of many citizens having riends in the hospital for the insane, for political purposes persisted in their action j calling upon the people of the state to assist them iu wresting the benevolent institutions from political control. During the many years that the republican party ruled the afluir of the state, we never heard anything said about taking the state's charities out oi politics. Why did not the republicans during the years of absolute control held by them in the legislature of the state make this change, so much desired by them, when they could so easily have done it? It looks like another ease of dog m the inanger. Regarding Gov. Porter nnd civil service, I would, in all candor, ask the honest, candid reader what he thought of Gov. Porter's action during the winter of lSSJ-S, when as governor of the state, then largely democratic, he nominated for tni." cs and president of the benevolent institutions all ultra republican partisans? Did he then have any regard for civil service reformer respect for the people over whom he ruled? No. His action was a gross outrage upon all decency; not only an insult to the democratic legislature, but to the democracy of the state then largely in the majority. To resent this unjust and insulting action the legislature was compelled, in self-respect and in the interests of the people it represented, to abrogate the law then in force and the llrown bill was passed. Following the example set by bis republican excellency, all republicans were ignored; whereas, if the governor had named even one democrat in three in his nominations for the ofliccs named, they would, beyond doubt, have been accepted, and the law have remained unchanged. Does Porter's course in this instance indicate "that, for one thing, the prostitution of the state's benevolent institutions u it be stopped by the aplieatUn ot the rule of merit, ana Jitnegu, and not polities." Not much. While I feel that the state charities should be placed outside of the pale of polities, I think it comes with a bad grace for republicans to find fault with the democrats for taking advantage of the situation in following their illustrious example. What party has ever acted on the theory "that to the victors belong the spoils" more than the republican party during their twenty-live years of continuous rule iu the affairs of the nation, with the Sti.OOO oflices and sinecures at their disposal? V as a democrat ever known to fill one of them? Lvcn the maimed, battle-scarred soldier, if a democrat, his claims were entirely ignored. It is high time the shnmeful duplicity continually being practiced by the "Acw," under its professions of independence and conservatism, should be exposed. Py false pretense it has secured many democratic readers, all of whom should, drop the unclean thing. Just think of it: "Hurrah for Harrison, but d d his principles." Isn't this consistency for you '! Kvery honest man, every democrat in the state should shun it. Democrats, you have now a Ireliable, able democratic paper, TllE Indi-' atoms Daily Sestinel, full of energy, keeping up with the demand of the times, in quantity, quality and reliability of its reading matter. Always disseminating sound and unmistakable democratic doctrine. Subscribe at once for The Sentinel, nnd lot us all be up nnd doing, for the opponents of the interests of the masses of the people. The backers of the monopolists and moneychangers are organizing for the light under the leadership of the man that would shoot down the laboringman that was contending for his rights, the right to protect his family from starving.
