WASTE XOT AND AVANT NOT

A WARNING TO KEEP OUT" OF DEBT. A Toaag Man Advised To Pay Catb-How th Preacher Threw A -way Hi Salary' Daring an Early Faatorate Folly of Borrowing Money, Etc. The Eer. T. De AVitt Talmage, P. P., of Brooklyn preached in St. Louis last Sunday night to a vast audience. His subject was "The Slaughterer," and his text, rroverbs, vii, 21: "As an ox to the slaughter." The eloquent preacher said : There is nothing in the voice or manner of the butcher to indicate to the ox that there is death ahead. The ox thinks he 13 going on to a rich pasture field of clover, where all day long he will revel in the herbaceous luxurance; but after a while the men and boys close in upon him with Eticks and stones and shouting, and drive him through bars and into a doorway, where he is fastened, and with a wellRimed stroke the ax fells him; and so the anticipation ol the redolent pasture field is completely disappointed. Pomany a youhjr man has been driven on by temptation to what he thought would be a paradisiacal enjoyment; but after a while influences with a darker hue and swarthier arm cloee in upon him him and he finds that instead of making an excursion into the garden he has been driven "as an ox to the slaughter." 1. We are apt to blame young men for being destroyed when we ought to blame the influences that destroy them. Society slaughters a great many young men by the behest, "You must keep up appearances; whatever be 3-our salary, you must drees as well as others, you must wine and brandy as many friends, you must Emoke as costly cigars, you must give as expensive entertainments, and you must live in as fashionable a boarding-house. If you haven't the money, borrow. If you can't borrow, make a false entry, or subtract here and there a bill from a bundle of bank bills; you will only have to make the deception a little while; in a few months, or in a year or two, you can make allriht. ohocly will be hurt by it; nobody will be the wit-er. You yourself will not be damaged." ly that awful process 300,000 men have been slaughtered for time and slaughtered for eternity. Suppose you borrow. There is nothing ron2 about borrowing money. There is .hardly a man in the houpe but has sometimes borrowed money. Vast estates have been bailt on a borrowed dollar. But there are two kinds of borrowed money. Money borrowed for the purpose of starting or keeping up legitimate enterprise and expense, and money borrowed to get that which you can do without. The first is right, the other is wrong. If you have money enough of your own to buy a coat, however plain, and then you borrow money for a dandy's outfit, you have taken the first revolution of the wheel downgrade. Borrow for the necessities; that may be well. Borrow for the luxuries ; lhat tips your prospects over in the w rong direction" The bible distinctly says the borrower is lervant of the lender. It is a bad state of things when you have to go down some other street to escape meeting some one whom vou owe. If young men knew what is the despotism of being in debt more of them would keep out of it. What did debt do for Lord Bacon, with a mind towering above the centuries? It Induced him to take bribes and convict himself as a criminal before all ages. What did debt do for Walter Scott? Broken-hearted at Abbotsford. Kept him writing until his hand gave out in paralysis to keep the sheriff away from his pictures and statuary. Better for him if he had minded the maxim which he had chiseled over the fireplace at Abbotsford: "Waste not, want not." The trouble is, my friend?, the people do not understand the ethics of going in debt, and that if you purchase goods with no expectation of paying for them or go into debts which you cannot meet, you steal just so much money. If I go into a grocer's store and I buy sugars and colfees and meats with no capacity to pay for them and no intention of paying for them, I am more dishonest than if I go into the Ftore and when the grocer's face is turned the other way I fill my pockets with the articles of merchandise and carry orl'a ham. In the one case I take the merchant's time and I take the time of his messenger to transfer the goods to my house, while in the other case I take none of the time of the merchant and I wait upon myself and transfer the goods without any trouble to him, In other words, a pneak-thief ;s not o bad as a man who contracts for debts he never expects to pay. Yet in all our cities there are families that move every May day to pet into proximity to other grocers and meat-shops and apothecaries. They owe everybody within half a mile of where they now live, and next May they will move into a distant part of the city, finding a new lot of victims. Meanwhile you, the honest family in the new house, are lothered, day by day, by the knocking at the door of disappointed bakers and butchers and drypoods dealers and newspaper carriers, arid vou are asked where your predecessor is. Von do not know. It was arranged you should not know. Meanwhile, your predecessor has gono to some distant part of the city, and the people who have anything to sell have sent their wagons and Ftopped thre to solicit the "valuable" custom of the new neighbor, and he, the new neighbor, with great complacency, and with an air of aiiluence, orders the rinest f teaks and the highest priced sugars, and the test of canned fruits, and, perhaps, all the newspapers. And the debt3 will keep on accumulating until he gets his goods, on the :Oth of next April, in the furniture car. Now, let me say if there are any such persons in the house, if you have any regard for your own convenience, you had better remove to 6ome greatly distant part of the city. It is too bad that, having had all the trouble of consuming the goods, you should also have the trouble of being dunned ! And let me eay that if you find that this pictures your own photograph, instead of being in church you ought to be in the penitentiary! No wonder that so many of our merchants fail in business. They are swindled into bankruptcy by these wandering arab?, these nomads ot city life. They cheat the grocer out of the green apples whicli make them sick, the physician who attends their distress, and the undertaker who fits them out for departure from the neighborhood where they owe everybody when they pay the debt of nature, the only debt they ever do pay I Now our young men are coming up in thia depraved state of commercial ethics, and I am solicitous about them. I want to warn them against being slaughtered on the sharp edges of debt. You want many things yon have not, my young friends. You shall have them if you have patience and honesty and industry. Certain lines of conduct always lead out to certain 6ucceeses. , There is a law which controls even those things that seem haphazard. I have been told by those who have observed that it is possible to calculate just how many letters will be sent to the dead-letter office every Children Cry for

year through misdirection ; that it is possible to calculate ju6t how many letters will be detained for lack of postage Btamps through the forgetfulness of the senders, and that it. is possible to tell just how many people Vvill .fall in , the streets by slipping on an orange peel. In other words, there are no .accidents. The most insignificant event you ever heard of is the link between two eternities the eternity of the past jChI, the 'eternity of the future. Head th.0 right-way, young man, and you will ctne'gut at. the right goal. Bring me a -yotinlr man and' tell me what his .'physical health is and what his m ntal caliber and what his habits and I will tell you what wilt be his destiny for this world and his destiny for the world to come, and I will not make five inaccurate prophecies out of the 500. All this rnakes me solicitous in regard to young men, and I want to make them nervous in regard to the contraction of unpayable debts. I give you a paragraph from my own experience. My first settlement as pastor was in a Village. . My salary was $800 and a parsonage. The amount seemed enormous to me. I said to myself : "What! all this for one year?" I was afraid of getting worldly under so much prosperity 1 I resolved to invite all the congregation to my house in groups of twenty-five each. We began, and as they were the best congregation in all the world and we felt nothing was too good for them, we piled all the luxuries on the table. I never completed the undertaking. At the end of six months I was in financial despair. I found what every young man learns in time to save himself, or too late, that you must measure the size of a man's body before you begin to cut the cloth for his coat. When a young man willfully and of choice, having the comforts of life, goes into the contraction of unpayable debts he knows not into what he goes. The creditors got after the debtor, the pack of hounds in full cry, and, alas! for the reindeer. They jingle his door-bell before he gets up in the morning, they iingle his door-bell after he has gone to bed at night. They meet him as he comes off his front steps. They send him a postal card or letter, in current style, teiling him to pay up. They attach his goods. They want cash, or a note at thirty days, or a note on demand. They call him a" knave. They say he lies. They want him disciplined at the church. They want him turned out of the bank. They come at him from this side, and from that side and from before, and" from behind, and he is insulted and gibbeted, and sued, and 'dunned, and sworn at, until he gets the nervous d'Rpepnia, gets neuralgia, pets liver complaint, gets heart disease, gets convulsive disorder, gets consumption. Now he is dead and you sav : "Of course they will let him alone." Oh, no! "ow they are watchful to see whether there aro any unnecessary expenses at the obsequies, to gee whether there is any surplus plait on the shroud, to see whether the hearse is costly or cheap, to see whether the llowera sent to the casket have been bought by the family or donated, to see in whose name the deed to the grave is made out. Then they ransack the bereft household, the books, the pictures, the carpets, the chairs, the sofa, the piano, the mattresses, the pillow on which he dies. Cursed be debt! For the sake of your own happiness, for the sake of your good morals, for the sake of your "immortal soul, for God's sake, young man, as far as possible, keep out of it. 2. But I think more young men are slaughtered through irreligion. Take away a young man's religion and you make him the prey of evil. We all know that the bible is the only perfect system of morals. Now, if you want to destroy the young man's morals take his bible away. low will you do that? Well, you will caricature his reverence for the scriptures, you will take all those incidents of the bible which can be made mirth of Jonah's whale, Samson's foxes, Adam's rib then you will caricature eccentric Christians or inconsistent Christians, then you will pas3 offas your own all those hackneyed ar gnments against Christianity, which are as old as Tom Paine, as old as Voltaire, as old as (in. Now you have captured his bible, and you have taken his strongest fortress; the way is comparatively clear, and all the gates of his soul are set open in invitation to the sins of earth and the sorrows of death, that they may come in and drive the stake for their encampment. A steamer 1,500 miles from shore, with broken rudder and lost compass, and hulk leaking 50 gallons the hour, is better oil than a young man when you have robbed him of his bible. JIave you ever noticed how despicably mean it is to take away the. world's bible without proposing a substitute? It is meaner than to come to a sick man and steal his medicine, meaner than to come to a cripple and steal his crutch, meaner than tocome to, a pauper and steal his crust, meaner thari-1 to" "CoujetQ a poor man and burn Ida hojise ilovtyx. 'It is the worst of all larcenies to steal the bible, w hich has been the crutch and medicine and food and eternal home to so many ! What a generous and magnanimous business infidelity has gone into! This splitting up of life-boats and taking away of tire-escapes and extinguishing of lighthouses. I come out and I sav to such people, "What are you doing all this for?" "Oh," they say, ''just for fun." It is such fun to se Christians try to hold on to their bibles ! Many of them have lost loved ones, and have been told that there is a resurrection, and it is such fun to tell them there will be no resurrection! Many of them have believed that Christ came to carry the burdens and to heal the wounds of the world, and it is such fun to tell J hern they will have to be their own savior! Think of the meanest thing you ever heard of; then go down 1,000 feet underneath it, and you will find yourself at the top of a stairs 100 miles long; go to the bottom of the stairs and vou will find a ladder 1,000 miles long; then go to the foot of the ladder and look ofl" a precipice half as far as from here to China, and you will find the headquarters of the meanness that would rob this world of its only comfort in life, its only peace in death, and its only hope for immortality. Slaughter a young man's faith ia God, ana there is not much more left to slaughter. Now, what has become of the slaughtered? Well, some of them are in their father's or mother's house, broken down in health, waiting to die; others are in the hospital ; others in Greenwood, or, ratlfcr their bodies are for their souls have gone on to retribution. Not much prospect for a young man who started life with good health, and good education, and a Christian example set him and opportunity of usefulness, who gathered all his treasures and put them in one box, and then dropped it into the sea. Now, how is this wholesale slaughter to be stopped? There is not a person in the bouse out is interested in that question.' Young man, arm yourself. The object of my sermon is to put a weapon in each of your hands for your own defense. Wait not for Y. M. CA. to protect you or churches to protect you. Appealing to God for help, take care of yourself. First, have a room somewhere that you call your own. Whether it be the back parlor of a fashionable boarding-house, or a room in the fourth story of a cheap lodging-house, I care not. Only have that one room your fortress. Let not the dissipator or unclean step over the threshold. If they come up the long flight of stairs and knock at the door, meet them face to face and kindly yet firmly refuse them admittance. Have a few family portraits on the wall, if you brought them with you

Pitcher's Castorla.

from your, country home. Have a bible on the stand. It you can afford it and can play one, have an instrument of musicharp or flute, or cornet, or melodeon, or violin, or piano. Every morning before you !eave that room pray. Every night after you rone home in "that room pray. . Make that room your Gilbratar, your fSebastopol, your Mount Zion. Let no bad book or newspaper come into that room, any more than you would allow a cobra to coil on your table. Take care of yourself. Xoboby else will take care of you. Your help will not come up two or three or four flights of stairs ; your help will come through the roof, down from heaven, from that God who, in the 6,000 years of the world's history, never betrayed a young man who tried to be good and a Christian. Let me say in regard to your adverse worldly circumstances, in passing, that you are on a level now with those who are finally to succeed. Mark my words, young man, and think of it thirty years from now. You will find that those who, thirty years from now, are millionaires of this country, who are the orators of the country, who are the poets of the country, who are the strong merchants of the country, who are the great philanthropists of the countrymightiest in the church and state are this morning on a level with you, not an inch above, and you , in etraightened circumstances now. Ilerschel earned his living by pla3Ting a violin at parties and in the interstices of the play he would go out and look up at the midnight heavens, the fields of his immortal conquests. George Stephenson rose from being the foreman in a colliery to be the most renowned of the world's engineers. No outfit, no capital to start with ! Young man, go down io the Mechanic library and get some books and read of what wonderful mechanish God gave you in your hand, in your foot, in your eye, in your ear, and then ask some doctor to take you into the dissecting room and illustrate to you what you have read about, and never again commit the blasphemy of saying you have no capita! to start with. Kquipped? Why, the poorest j-oung man in this house is equipped as only the God of the whole universe could afford to equip him. Then his body a very poor affair as compared with his wonderful soul oh, that is what makes me solicitous. I am not so much anxious about you, young man, because you have so little to do with as I am anxious about you because you have 60 much to risk and lose or gain. There is no class of persons that so stir my sympathies a young men in great cities. Not quite enough salary to live on and all the temptations that come from that deficit. Invited on all hands to drink, and their exhausted nervous system seeming to demand stimulus. Their religion caricatured by most of the clerks in the store and most of the operatives in the factory. The rapids of temptation and death rushing against that young man forty miles the hour, and he in a frail boat headed up-stream, with nothing but a broken oar to work with. Unless Almighty God help them they will go under. Ah! when I told you to take care of yourself, you misunderstood me if you thought I meant you are to depend upon human resolution, which may be dissolved in the foam of the wine cup, or may be blown out with the first gust of temptation. Here is the helmet, the 6word of Lord God Almighty. Clothe yourself in that panoply and you 6ball not be put to confusion. Sin pays well neither in this world nor the next, but right thinking and right believing and right acting will take you in safety through this life and in transport through the next. I never shall forget a prayer I heard a young man make 6orae fifteen years ago. It was a very short prayer but it was a tremendous prayer: "O Lord, help us. We lind it so very easy to do wrong and so hard to do right. Lord, help us." That prayer I warrant you reached the ear of God and reached his heart. And there are in this house a hundred men who have found out a thousand young men perhaps who have found out that very thing. It is so very easy to do wrong and so hard to do right. I got a letter, only one paragraph of which I shall read: "Having moved around somewhat I have run across many young men of intelligence, ardent strivers after that will-o'-the-wisp, fortune, and of one of these I would speak. He was a young Englishman of twenty-three or twenty-four years, who came to Xew York, where ho had acquaintances, with barely sufficient to keep him a couple of weeks. He had been tenderly reared; perhaps I should say too tenderly, and was" not used to earninc his own living and found it extremely difficult to get any position that he was capable of filling. After many vain efforts in this direction he found himself Sunday evening in Brooklyn, near your church, with about $3 left of his small capital. Providence seemed to lead him to your door and he determined to go in anil hear vou. "He told me his going to hear you that night was undoubtedly the turning point in his life, for when he went into your church he felt desperate, but while listening to your discourse his better nature got the mastery. I truly believe from what this young man told me that your sounding the depths of his heart that night alone brought him back to his God, whom he was so near leaviug." The echo that is of multitudes in the house. I am not preaching an abstraction, but a great reality. Oh, friendless young man! Oh, prodigal young man 1 Oh, broken-hearted young man, discouraged young man, wounded young man ! I commend you to Christ this day, the best friend a man ever had. He meets you this morning. You have come here for this blessing. Despise not that emotion rising in your soul, it is divinelv lifted. Look into the face of Christ. Lift one prayer to your father's God, to your mother's God, and getthe pardoning blessing. Now, while I speak, you are at the forks of the road, and this is the right road and that is the wrong road, and I see you start on the right road. One Sabbath morning at the close of my service I saw a gold watch of the world-renowned and deeply lamented violinist Ole Bull. You remember ho died in his island home off the coast of Norway. That gold watch he had wound up day after day through hia illness, and then ho said to his companions: "Now I want to wind this watch as long as I can, and then when I am gone I want you to keep it wound up until it gets to my friend Mr. Doremus, in New York, and then he will keep it wound up until his life is done, and then I want the watch to go to his young son, my especial favorite." The great musician, who more than anv other artist had made the violin speak and sing and weep and laugh and triumph for it eeemed when he drew the bow across the strings as if all earth and heaven trembled in delighted sympathy the great musician, in a room fooking off upon the sea and surrounded by his favorite instruments of music, closed hin eyes in death. While all the world was mourning at his departure, sixteen crowded steamers fell into line of funeral procession to carry his body to the mainland. There were 50,000 of his countrymen gathered in an amphitheater of the hills waiting to hear the eulogium, and it was said when the great orator of the day with stentorian voice began to sneak, the 50,000 people on the hillside burst into tears. On, that was the close of a life that had done so much to make the world happy. But I have to tell you, young man, if you live right and die right, that was a tame scene compared with that which will greet you when from the galleries of heaven the jUljOOO shall accord with Christ ia crying.

"Well done, thou good and faithful servant.'.' And the influences that on earth you put in motion will go down from generation .to generation, the influences you wound up handed to your children, and their influences wound up and handed to their children, until watch and clock aro no more needed to make the progress,' because time itself shall be no longer. A TALK WITH TALMAGE.

The Brooklyn Divine Talks About Sunday and Other Matter. "I generally make a lecture tour in December and March of each J'ear," said the Rev. Dr. Talmage last Monday, to a St. Louis Republic reporter, "I have a different lecture for each place on my present route. I am not able to give you a recent opinion on your city, for, as I said before, I have kept very quiet to-day. I always find newspapers and newspaper men very friendly and fair in their treatment of me. I believe that the newspaper is a mighty agency either for good or evil, and I must say that I hold optimistic views as to its predominating power for good." 1 "What is your opinion of the Sunday newspaper?" "Well, really now, I do not like to express an opinion on that point. I never see a Sunday newspaper. Sunday is emphatically 'my very busy day,' as I preach morning and evening. I was brought up, however, in the good old puritanical way, and 6till think that people, as a rule, would be much better off if they would attend church twice every Sunday, aud devote as much of the intervening time as possible to rest and religious reading and meditation." "What with regard to the man who has slaved in an oflice all week, and who wants fresh air and recreation on Sunday?" "Well, the 'Sabbath was created for man' you know, and 'not man for the Sabbath.' I regard this in a great measure a question between the conscience of the individual and his God. Yet I have seen Sunday recreationists going to work on Monday morning looking more toil-worn and weary than upon any other day of the seven. You ask what do I think of modem evangelistic effort? Well, I regard it as not only scriptural, but also as suited to the exigencies of our modern civilization, just as in the days of the first great Apostle to the Gentiles. As to 'boy preachers,' I believe they are accomplishing a vast deal of good, although, of course, I have no objection to their reaching the estate oi manhood after a given period of vears. I have met Harrison, and I like him very much. I really do not know what his weekly stipend is, nor am I thoroughly conversant with Mr. Ham eon's financial circumstances. The salvation army, too, is an agency for great good among certain classes. At least BO, 1 am informed by a clergyman high in the councils of the "church "of England, and I believe their work in this country has been serviceable in reaching multitudes otherwise inaccessible to the foolishness of preaching. I am not disposed to condemn my Christian friends because they do not train in the same brigade with me, nor do I wish to criticise anv branch of organize! Christian effort. never want to see a 'Big Bethel' fight among the followers of Christ, You do not catch the allusion. Well, in one of the early battles of the war at Big Bethel, the regiments got inextricably mixed, and in the darkness and confusion poured several volleys into the ranks of their friends with disastrous results. That is what I mean by a 'Big Bethel fight' amongst Christians. We all have plenty to do against the common enemy of souls, to afford any internecine strife among our own forces." c. . Religious Thought and Note. Dr. Pier-on estimates the money annually raised for carrying on Protestant foreign missions at about $11,200,000. The Soudan is said to have been almost totally neglected by protestants a a field for missionary ctlort. It haa a population of about tJO,000,000 people. In Union theological seminary at IlampdenSidney, Vs., fourteen young men have signified their willingness to go as missionaries to foreign lands. Ninety-five percent, nf the students of Franklin college, New Athens, O., are professing Christians. Sixty-five per cent, of the graduates of the college have entered the ministry. Princess Euzehe ot Swedea is paying the expenses of a missionary house for the Laplanders in the northern part of Sweden, over two hundred - miles north of the arctic circle. Religious Her alt. ; During the past year the net gain ot new churches in the United States wa 6,331; of ministers, 4,fAr and of members, 774,864. On an average, therefore, seventeen congregations were gained, twelve ministers and ,120 members. The managers of the building fund of the temperance temple of the Woman's Christian temperance UBion in Chicago have issued $."u0,M) worth of stock in order to facilitate the collection of the $O0,000 necessary for the structure. Various missionary societies of England are agitating among the frhip-ownera and steamship companies of Cireat Britain for a better observance of Sunday, especially in foreign porta. A circular letter to this effect has been addressed to 6hi-owiiers and directors of companies. The China, Mail. One of the most striking characteristics of Christian civilization is seen in the erlbrta now being made in Knglantl to extend substantial aid to the millions in China who are su tiering from a grievous famine. The reports from that distant country are painful in the extreme. Philadelphia Telegraph.

There is an immeasurable difference, an absolute and irreconcilable antagonism between making proselytes and preaching the gospel, between winning members to a church, creed or party, and winning souls to Christ; between trying to make men join your church and telling men the pood newstnat irradiates your life.

GREAT DAMAGE -BY STORM.

MANY VESSELS AND LIVES LOST. Saturday' fiale on tbe Count Swept Over the Lbwtr Ctiranpeake Most Dlaaatroualv to Shipping Ileporta ot Wrecks ami Lost of Life. Baltimore, April 9. The storm which raged iu IUltimore with severity on Saturday and with comparative gentleness on Sundny, swept over the lower Chesapeake most disastrously to shipping. Over a dozen seamen lost their lives and thirty or forty vessels, some small and others larce, were wrecked. lU-ports of disasters to nhipping and loss of life continue to come in by arriving vessels and special dispatches. The steamer West Monland reached the Lijrht-st. pier at 2:15 this morning from the Patuxent river. Capt. Gourley reported that the schooner Caroline, CapL Hutchinson, was driven high aud dry on Cove point bar, and went to pieces. The schooner W. P. Snow started out of the Tatuxent Saturday for Ualtitaore. Her stern, with her name, floated ashore on Sunday near Millstone creek. A body, which is supposed to be one of the Snow's crew, was found on the beach near where the stern of the schooner lloated a.'hore. It is feared that the entire crew is lost. Nothing is known of the crew of the Caroline. Two unknown vessels are ashore in llattle creek. The steamer Sue, Capt. Geoghegan, arrived at 1 :40 this morning from the Potomac river, and brought news of tbe severest storm ever known in southern Maryland. Capt. Gcoghe gan reported seven small sailing vessels ashore in the Yeocoraico river. In Coan river the schooner William Coburn and the sloop Amelia Cowart, are up in a field, high and dry. The schooner Columbia F. C. is sunk in Carter's creek. All the fish traps were destroyed in the lower part of the Potomac. There will also he a severe loss to property-holders along the Potomac river front, as the land was submerged, and in many places there have been many acres of land washed away. The wharf and store of Representative W. Williamson, at Sleepy Hofe, were both washed away, and the clerk, Mr. Woodward, w.s drowned. The western branch drawbridge was carried away. The damage to it is estiiuated at $10,000. A very aged colored woman, named Amy Jasper, who lived alone, was found on the floor of her hut, drowned. All the southern side -of the harbor is lined with wreckage. Capt. Elijah Uenson and his two sons, of Portsmouth, are reported to have been capsized in their oyster sloop in James river, and drowned. The oyster fleets suffered severely, and thirty vessels went ashore ia Scott's creek. THE WHITE CAPS' REVIVAL. Fresh Depredations and Outrages Reported ty the Sonthvrn Indiana Iteeutator. EVAXSVILLE, April 13. The White Caps, unterrified by the recent prosecutions, and rather emboldened by the release and acquittal of a number of the band, have commenced frefeh depredations in Warrick and Daboiä counties. John Lansfordy is a road supervisor in Madison township, Dubois county, and one of his duties is to take up 6tray hogs. Recently he gathered in this way and impounded a large number of porkers, which he refused to release without the customary fine. Last Monday he received a notice from the White Caps in regulation style that those hos were the property of poor people, unable to pay the fine, and if not promptly released he would be visited on Wednesday night and compelled to surrender them. Thursday morning at 1 o'clock the White Caps appeared to carry out their threat, and Mr. Lansford was awakened by a body of twenty masked men. who demanded the hogs. He refused, and they dismounted and proceded to go through his premises. He warned them to desist, and when they disregarded him he opened fire with a double-barrel shot-gun, wounding two with the first volley. The White Caps immediately returned the fire through the windows of the house wounding a young son of Lansford, who was descending the interior stairway. The old gentleman took down a brace of seven-shooters after discharging his gun and continued to pour load after load into the ranks of his assailants, who, after discharging their weapons, beat a hasty retreat, bearing three of their wounded comrades out of the yard. One of them has since been identified by the wounds he received, and through him it is learned that five' of the White Caps were wounded. Lansford's eon only received a flesh wound, which is not serious. Mr. Lansford is satisfied that he knows several of the White Caps, and they will at once be summoned before the grand jury. The White Caps also appeared Thursday night near Newburgh, Warrick county. A band of ten visited the house of W. T. Masterson, who is alleged to have failed to provide for his family. He was given ten lashes and promised forty more if he did not improve, his ways. The same night they visited a negro named James Crews, who has a white wife, and had been previously warned. They took him to a woods near by, tied him naked to a tree and administered forty lashes upon his bare back. He was left tied to the tree, where some of his friends subsequently rescued him. Tbe terrors of last year instituted by this gang of White Caps are breaking out afresh. The indignation of law-abiding citirens is great, and, it is said, will result in the organization of vigilance committees to suppress them. WEDDED IN A SLEEPING CAR. Ad fnknoirn Couple Married ty ft n Unknown Minister A Strange Affair. Kansas City, Mo., April 0. A handsome young man, about twenty-five years of age, walked back and forth on the union depot platform this morning apparently in a highly excited state of mind. Early iu the day he had secured sec. 10 of the sleeper Iroquois, which was due to leave for Wichita at 9::'S o'clock. Just three minutes before the signal was given for departure the Wabash fast train for !St, Louis steamed into the depot. A beautiful young lady stood on the platform of one of the cars. The young man rushed forward and assisted the new comer to alight, escorting her hurriedly to the west end of the depot where the sleeper was in waiting. As they entered the car a gentleman dressed in black followed and was handed a document, presumably a marriage license. In the presence of II. B. Putters and A. A. McDougal of the Pullman car company and Conductor Garielon, the words were quickly said that made the couple man and wife. The ceremony occupied 1cm than a minute, and as the law of the state does not require either witnesses or signatures ot friends to the marriage certificate, the names of the two who were thus strangely united were unknown to all except the clergyman. That individual disappeared from the car into the crowd and the train sped away to the city of booms in southern Kansas. BULLY FOR EVANSVILLE. The rolico Force Goes With the Ntw Com. inlssioners. EVAXSYILLE, Ind., April 9. Special. The members of the new police board, which was recognized by the council last night, made a demand to-night on the old police commissioners for the police property, but were refused. They then addressed themselves to the old force, who with two exceptions cast their fortunes with the new board, and these two mbsequently went with their comrades. This action of the police force was caused by the fact that the council will only ray bills approved by the new board. The old board will not reorganize another force, but if the supreme court decides in its favor there will be a wholesale slaughter. A Sad Calamity. (N. Y. Weekly.

Consumption is a Scrofulous disease occasioned by a deposit of tubercles in the lunes the upper portion of them generally. As the tubercles enlarge they begin to irritate the lungs by pressure on the surrounding parts. This creates a hacking cough. At length nature, in her endeavor to (ret rid of the annoyingtubercles, sets up an inflammation; matter is iecreted and the tubercle is softened. It then comes to a head, or suppurates, and the matter is discharged into the nearest air tube. This the patient raises, which, for a time, allays the cough, but as the air cells fill up with tubercular matter, the Hood can circulate but imper fectly through the lunts; hence it becomes more impure for the want of air, which lessens the power of nature to throw oß the disease, until at last the disease becomes so general and the cough so great that hectic fever and night sweats intervene, with bleeding of the lungs, until the patient finally sinks. NOW i AD WAY1 31 11 Sarsaparillian . Resolvent Is the only Medicine that has ever yet struck at the root of the disease, acts in this wise: First, by its action on the glands, it purifies the blood and counteracts the Scrofulous habit of the body, which is the cause of the disease; Fecond, it promotes the action of the absorbents that remove the deposited tubercles, and third, it allays the cough, giving immediate ease to the patient. If patients, laboring tinder this disease, will follow the directions here laid down, we will promise, in every case, that their complaint will be speedily relieved, if not entirely cured, by the use of this remedy. DIRECTIONS: Take from a teaspoon to a dessertspoonful of the RESOLVENT, in a little water if more agreeable, three times per day, half an hour after meals. Eat good, nourishing food, such as beefsteak, mutton chop, venison, roast beef, sago, arrow root, tapioca, and the like. Drink as much milk as agrees with you. Pay particular attention to fresh air, cleanliness, exercise, and as a general thing comfort, as much as possible. Lofty and airy sleeping apartments, not exposed to drafts; and care to avoid and prepare for sudden changes of temperature: never go out of the house when the atmosphere is moist. Be careful not to catch f-esh cold, but cure the one you Lave. Wear flannel underwear according to the season, which should be i-hanped for drv night and morning. Do but this, and the RESOLVENT will exceed your most sanguine expectations, and fulfill our most confident promises. For pain in the chest, back or limbs, rub with READY RELIEF applied by the palm of the hand, or flannel saturated; and if diarrhoea should trouble the patient (as it sometimes does) a dose or two of tbe RELIEF, that is, half a teaspoonful swallowed in half a tumbler of water, will check it.
