THE WEATHER AND CROPS. WuansTOX, June tt—Tto Sign*: OBc« weather-crop bulletin for the irtrt ending June U, reports that during the week the weather has been warmer that the weekly average in all agricultural districts east of the Rocky mountains, except In the Atlantis States from llainc south west ward to Virginia and Southern Texas This excess of temperature fer the week has been greatest in the eora sad wheat regions of the northwest, where the average daily excess ri nged above the normal from four to eight degrees. the latter exocss in Eastern Dakota—conditions most favorable in the present stage of the crops. In the ootton belts the excess of tern perature has averaged from one to three degrees daily, save ia Texas, when the temperature has been about normal The tobacco regions have had weathei from one to two degrees warmer than usual to the westward of the Allegheny Mountains, while on the eastward it has been from one to four degrees odder. The temperature since January last bas been substantially normal in tie At! antic States, and from New York westward to Michigan, while a slight deficiency, less than a degree daily, has existed iia the grain districts. A seasonal excess of temper start, averaging from one to two degrees daily, has prevailed over the Ohio, Dower Missouri and Lower Mississippi Valley. Daring the past six weska, which have been important, especially for the grain wowing districts, the temperature has been steadily in excess over the corn and wheat regions, ana has been nearly stationary in the cotton belt, which conditions must have been most beneficial to those crone.

During the week the rainfall has been slightly deficient in agricultural districts, except from Western Pennsylvania s outh westward to Kansas and Indian Territory, where a slight excess has fallen. The showers hare been numeroun and well distributed, save in a few instances of local importance only. The large seasonal deficiency of precipitation over the eotton belt has been mitigated by reeent rains, which hare been well districted, and of timely occurrence. Over all agricultural districts the weather of the week has apparently been favorable for the Important cropc, the marked deficiency of temperature occurring in localities of secondn»;r importance as regards the staples. South of the thirty-ninth parallel, where, presumably, grain harvesting is now general, the weather has been tnrorabln for thnt work, an no general rains have fallen or high winds occurred, while the sunshine has been at or above the average. SLIGHTLY SENSATION AIL.

The officers of the company declare that their proceedings hare been entirely regular; that they have a franchise for nine years, which they consider very v luable, and that, white Mr. Tyrar*s reoort is unfortunate, it is no reason why the enterprises should be abandoned. On the other hand the Su tday Capital, under the caption of “ABsld 5 cheme;—An Bxtrordinnry Financial Ope ation; Out. rageous Attempt to Fleece Washington Investors,” says: *Must how such money, has been secured in Wsshin ;ton by this telephone bait, we do not ktt >w, but it it said to bo a large sum.

Investments are also said to have been i inde by outside capitalists Mr. Erasts s Wi man, of Staten Island, is reporte I to have pnt in 313.000.

Be wa s asked how it would be possible to do this, and he coolly replied that it was the intention of the incorporators to sell $1,000 000 worth ot the stock. This would realise MfNtOM. Out of tbit 3*0,000 would be nsed in the payment of the first dividend. This, he thought would send the stock to fifty or sixty dollars, at which figure th iae who entered on the ground foor would probably

an loud and the lambs would sra 10 suitor the consequences. This statement, was made to the stockholders us though he thought it was perfectly legitimate.” Various attempts hare been made by representatives of the press to interview Mr. Tyrer, whose record is ia pugsed, but he declines to talk.

For the subject of a recent sermon at the Brooklyn Tabernacle Her. T, DeWitt Talmagc took that of the, “Necessity of Faith and Prayer,” illustratin' it by the story of the martyr Stephen. His text was: Behold. I see the heavens open, and the Son »f Man standings the right hand of God. Then the? cried ont with a load voice, and stopped their Mrs, and ran upon him with one And east him oat of the eit? and stoned Him: and the witnesses laid down their clothes at a young man's feel. whose name was Saul. And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God. and saying. Lord Jeoas receive my spirit. And he heeded down and cried with a load voice. Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he hail said this, he fell asleep.— tAeta vti.. a*». -

Stephen bad bceu preaching a robbing sermon, and the people could not ntacd it They resolved to do as men sometimes would like to do to this day, if they dared, with some plain . preacher of righteous-ness-kill him. The only waT to silence this man was to knock the breath out of him. Ho they rushed Stephen out of the gates of the city, and with curse, and whoop, and' bellow they brought him to the cliff, as was the custom when they wanted to take away life by stoning. Haring brought him to the edge of tho cliff they pushed hint off. After he had fallen they came and looked down, and seeing that he was not dead, they began to drop stones upon him,stone after stone, stone after stone. Amid this horrible rain of missiles Stephen clambers up on his knees and folds his hands, while the Mood drips from his temples to his cheeks, from his cheeks to his garments, from his garments to the ground; and then, looking up. ho makes two prayers—one for himself and one for his murderers: , Lord Jesus, receive KIT spirit. That was' for Itimse f. Isold, lay not iihla sin to their charge. That was for his assailants. Then, from pain and loas of Moo I, he swooned away and fell asleep. 1 want to show yon to ilar lire pictures; Stephen gening into Heaven; Stephen looking at Christ; Stephen stoned; Stephen in Uis dying prayer; Stephe n asleep. First, look at Stephen gating into Heaven. Before yon tuke n leap, you want to k iow where yon are going to land. Before yon climb a ladder, yon want to know to what point the ladder reaches. And it was right that Stephen, within n few moments of Heaven, should be gating into it We woull all do well to be found in the same posture. . A man of large wealth may have statuary in the hall and paintings in the sitting-room, snd works of art in all parts of the house, bnt he has chief pictures in the art gallery, and there, hour after hour, you walk with catalogue and glass snd ever increasing admiration, Well, Heaven is the gallery where God has gathered the chief treasures of his realm. The whole universe is his palace. In this lower room where we we stop there are many adornments—tessellated Boor of ame'hvHt and blossom, and on the winding cloud-stairs are stretched out canvas on which commingle aiuro, and purple, and saffron, and gold. But Heaven is the gallery in which the chief glories are gathered. There are the brightest robes. There are the richest crowns There are the highest exhilarations John says of it: The kings of the earth shall bring their honor and glory into It. And I see the procession forming, and in the line come all empires, snd the stars spring up Into an arch- for the hosts to march under. They keep step to the sonrd of earthquake and the pit.eh of avalanche from the mountains, and the Bag they bear is the Same of a consuming world, and all Heaven turns out with harps and trumpets and myriad-voiced acclamation of angelic dominion to wel

come mem in, ana so me zings m tno earth bring their honor and glory Into it. Do yon wonder that good people often stand like Stephen, looking inti He*veat We hare a great many friends there. There is not a man in this honse to-lay so isolated in life bnt there is some one in heaven with whom he once shook hands. As a man gets older, the number of his celestial acquaintances very i-apidly multiplies. We have not had one glimpse of them since the night we kissed them good-bye and they went away, but still we stand gazing into Heaven. As when some of our friends go across the sea, we -land oa the deck, or oo the steam-tug, • id watch them, and after awhile the hull of the vessel disappears, and then there is only a patch of sail oa the sky, snd soon that is gone, and they are all out of sight, and yet we stanl looking in the same direction; so when our friends go away from us into the future world we keep looking down through the narrows, and gazing and gaz .ng as though wo expected they would come out and stand on some evening cloud, and give us one glimpse of their blissful and transfigured faces. While you long to join their companionship and the years and the days go with such tedium that they break your heart, and the riper of pain and sorrow and bereavement keeps gnawing at your ntala, you still stand, like Stephen, gazing into Heaven. Too wonder if they have changed since you aavr them last. You wonder If they would reeognii* your face now, so changed has it been with trouble. You wonder if, amid the myriad delights they have, they care as much for you as they used to whoa they gave yon a helping hand, and put their shoulder under your burdens. Ye n wonder If they look any older; and* sometimes, in the erening-Ude, when the honee to nil quiet, you wonder if you should call them by their Bret a erne if they would not answer; and perhaps some time yen do make the expei-imeat, and when no one but God and yourself are there you distinctly call them names, and listen, and wait, and sit, gnaiug into Pass oa now, and see Btephea looking □pon Christ.

The painters 3 the different ages have tried to imagine the features of Christ, and put them on canvas; but wo will have to wait util with our owe eyes we tee him and with our owu ears we can hour him.

Oh, wonderful Invitation i You can take it today. and stand at the head of the darkest alley in this city, and say: Come!

Their very life is an assault upon wickedness. Gut with Stephen through the gates of the city. Down with bilks over the precipices. Let every man corns and drop a stone upon his head. But these men did not so much kill Stephen as they kilt >d Every s*ono rebounded While these murderers fixed by the scorn of men, Stephen lives in themselves upon them were transail goo t the admiration of nil Christendom. Stephen So nil good who will live stoned, hut Stephen alive, men must t« pelted. A11 godly in Christ! Jesus mast suffer persecution. It is’no eulogy ot a man to say that every body likes him.

But you not,ice. my friends, that while they assaul totl him thev dul not succeed realty in killing him. You may assault a good man. l>ui you can not kill him.

Booth's hutlet vacated the Presidential chair, but from that spetiof coagulated blood an the floor In the box of Ford’s Theater there sprang up the new life of u nation.

You are not all body. There is within yon a soui. I aee it gleam from your eyes to-day, and I see it irridUting your countenance. Sometimes I am abashed before an audience, not because I am under your physical eyesight, but because I realise the truth that I stand before so many Immortal spirits. Tba probability is- that your body will at last find a sepulture in some of the cemeteries that surround this city. Thebe is no doubt but that your obsequies will be decent and respectful, and you will be able to pillow your bead unuer the maple, or the Norway spruce, or the cypress, or the blossoming fire hut this spirit abou* which Stephen prayed, what direction will that take! What guide will esc «•» it! What gate will ope n to reoeiva it! What cloud will be cleft for its pith way f Alter it has got; beyond the light ef eur sun, will there be torches lighted for it the rest of tint way!

With a pathos and simplicity peculiar to the Scriptures, the text says of Stephen: Be tali asleep. you suy, “whatt a place shat wss to sleep! A hard rock under him, stones fulling down upon him, the bleed stream* lug, the mob howling. What a place it was to sleep!” And yeti my text takes thst symbol of slumber to describe his departure, so sweet wss it; sAcuntented was it; so peaceful was it Stephen had lived a very laborious life. Bit chief work had been to cure for the poor. How many loaves of bread he distributed, how many hare feet he had sandaled, how map] cots of sickness and distress he blessed with ministries of kindness and love. I do not ktow; but from the wav he lived, and 'be way he preached, and tho tray he died, I j know he was a laborious Christian. Bnt I that is all over nnw. He has pressed the I cup to the fast fainting lijx He has tak- ! on the last insult from his eaem es. The last stone to whose crushi ng weight he Is susceptible bss been hurled I S ephen is dead. The disciples come. They take him up. They wash away the bisod from the wounds. They straighten out the bruised limbs. They brush back the tangled hair from the brow, and then they pass areund to look upon the calm countenance of him who liad lived for the poor and died fer the t ruth. Stephen asleep! I have seen the sea driven with the hurricane until the tangled foam caught in the rigging, and wave rising above wave seemed as If about to storm the Heavens, and then I have seen the tempest drop, and the waves crouch, and every thin;: become smooth and burnished as though a camping plaee for the glories of heaven. So I have seen a man, whoee life has been teesed and driven, coming down at Inst to

an infinite ealnf in which there was the hash of Heaven's lullaby. Stephen asleep I 1 saw such an one. He fought ait his days against poverty and abuse. They traduced his name. They rattled at the door-knob while he was dying with duns of debts he could not pay; yet the ■peace off Qod brooded over his pillow, and while the world ffadod. Heaven dawned, and the deepening twilight off earth’s night was only the open tug twilight off Heaven’s morn. Not a sigh. Not a tear. Net a straggle. Hush I Stephen asleep. 1 have not the faculty to teil the weather. 1 can never tell bv the setting sun whether there will be a drought or not. I can not tell by the blowing of the wind whether it will he fair weather or foul on the morrow. But I can prophesy, and I will prophesy, what weather it will be whoa you. the Christian, come to die.- You may have It rary rough now. It may be this week one annoyance, the next-another annoyance, it may be this year ono bereaveniont, the next another bereavement. Before this year has passed you may have to beg for bread, or ask for a scuttle of coat or a pair of shoes; but spread your denth couch amid the leaves of the forest, or make it out of the. straw of a pauper’s hut, the wolf of the jangle howling close by, or nexorahle creditors jerking the pillow from under your dying head—Christ will come in and darkness witl go out. And though there may be no hand to close your eyes, and no breast on which to rest your dying head, and no candle to lift the night, the odor of God’s hanging garden.

will regale your soul, ana at your oeasraa Will halt the chariots of the king. No more reals to pay, no more agony because flour has gone up. no more straggle with “the world, the flesh and tbe devil,'* but peace—long, deep, everlasting peace. Stephen sleep! /, > Asleep tn Jesus, blessed sleep. From which none ever wase to weep: A calm and undisturbed repose.

No one can successfully examine more than live pictures in s day- Therefore, we stop, haring seen this cluster of dirine Raphaels—Stephen paring into heaven; Stephen looking at Christ; Stephen stoned; Stephen In his dTimg prayer; Stephen asleep.
