TALMAfflS’S SERM( | £jvlnl:eresting Discourse !> lived From “Concord juad Siam i ud Uw Grand !*»■■» Jubilee— the The subject of a recent sermon d vered by Rev, T. DeWitt Talmage it tb Brooklyn Tabernacle was “Concord e d Discord,” predicated on the following ext: Who 1 aid the corner-stone theieof, ion the morning stars sang together. —Job n: it, t-T Dr. Talmage said: We have t b seen the ceremony at the laying of th -ornerstone of church, asylum or Mast io temple. Into the hallow of the etc i were placed scrolls of history and is ort ant documents, to be suggestive if, or or two hundred years after, the bnilldinr should lie destroyed by lire or torn dor , We remember the silver trowel or fe « haniimer that smote the square piece c granite ilnto sanctity. We remember son venerable man who presided, wield \g the trowel or hammer. We remen er also the music, as the choir stood on ' te scattered stones and timber of the uilding about to bn constructed. The !■ ires of the note-books fluttered in the vr d, and were turned over with a great istling, and we remember bow the bass, I1 ry tone, tenor, contralto and soprano voi a commingled. They had for many d y» been rehearsing the special program® that it might be Worthy of the corner-s ue laying. . - In my text the poet of Us cal! ns to a grander ceremony—the laying of the foundation of this great temple o! world. The corner-stone was a block of ' ;ht and the trovd was of celestiaj cry aL All about and on the embankment :<f cloud stood the angelic choristers, moiling their librettos of overture, a I other worlds dapped shining cyml s while the ceremony went on, and 1 od, the architect,by stroke of light after troke of light, dedicated this great cath tral of a world, with mountains for pH! rs, and the sky for a frescoed ceiling, ar 1 flowering fluids for floor, and sunrise : d midnight aurora for upholstery. 1 Who laid the oornei-stone there® when the morning stars sang together. The fact is that the whole iniverse was a complete cadence, an ubroken dithyramb, a musical portfol io. he great sheet of immensity had been sv ead out, and written on it were the s in, the smaller of them minims, the vrger of them sustained notes. The meteors marked the staccato passages, I e whole at the Universe.

neavt'US s Ktunut, wi»u ail OV, nations and modulations, the pace between the worlds a musical Interval, trembling of stellar light, a «j wer, the thunder a baas clef, the wind a long the trees a treble clef. This is the ay God made all things a perfect hurmc y. But one dayl a harp-string s ipped in the great orchestra. One dav a voice sounded out of tune. One 1 »y a discord, harsh and terrific, grated ipon the glorious antiphone. It was sin tat made the dissonance, and that hars discord has been sounding through the enturies. All the work of Christians, ar philanthropists, and reformers of all sges is to stop that discord, and get all tb igs back into the perfect harmony * uch was heard 4t the laying of the ec er-stone, when the morning stars sang together. Before I get through, if I at divinely helped, I will make it plain at sin is discord and righteousness is he nony. That things in general are on of tnne is as plain as to a musician's ear is the unhappy clash of clarionet and assoon in an orchestral rendering. The world’s health ont of te s Weak lung and the atmosphere in oc ison, disordered eye and noonday Ugh' n a quarrel, rheumatic limb and damp eather in a struggle, neuralgias, and p- umonias, and consumptions, and epi psiea In flocks swoop upon neighber oods and cities. Where you find one t rson with sound throat, and keen eye ght, and alert ear, and easy respiratioi- ind regular pulsation, and supple limb oil prime digestion, and steady nerves, ju find a hundred who have to be very refill because this, or that, or the otfc - physical function is disordered.

Ration: in discord: Without realizing it, so wroc is the feeling of nation for nation that ta symbols chosen are fierce and lest etive. Is this country, where our sk s are full of robins, and doves, n 4 morning larks, we have our static U symbol, fierce and filthy eagle, as im val a bird as can be found in all the or ithological catalogues. In Great Britain here they hare lambs and fallow doer, «ir symbol is the merciless lion.

drowned oat by • discord, that shakes the earth. Faul says: The whole creation groanoth. And while the nightingule.and the woodlark, and the canary, and the plover sometimes sing so sweetly that their notes hare been written oat in musical notati on,and it is found that tlie cuckoo sings in tlM key of U, and that the cormorant is a basso in the winged choir, yet sportsmen’s gun and the antnmnal blast often leave them ruffled and bleeding, or dead in meadow or forest. Paul wasright, (or the groan in nature downs oat the prime donne of the sky. Tartini, the great musical composer, I dreamed one night that he made a con- ! tract with Baton, the latter to be ever in the composer’s service. Bat one night he banded to. Batin a violin, on which Diatolus played such sweet music that the composer was awakened to the emotion snd tried to reproduce the sounds, and therefrom was written Tartini’s most famous piece, entitled the “Devil’s Sonata,” a dream ingenious but faulty, for all melody descends from Heaven, and only discards ascend from hell. All hatreds, feuds, controversies, backbitings and revenges are the devil’s sonata, are diabolic fugue, are demoniac phantasy, are grand march of doom, are allegro of perdition. Bnt if in this world things in general ■ire out of tone to our frail ear, how much more so to ears angelic and deific. It takes a skilled artist fully to appreciate disagreement of sound. Many have no imparity to detect a defect of musical execution, and, though there was in one bar as many offenses against harmony as ■mold crowd in between the lower F of the liasacnd the higher G of the soprano, it would give them no discomfort, while on i:he forehead of Vue .Netted artist beads of perspiration would stand . _t »s a result of the harrowing dissonance. Tills itn amateur was performing on a piano snd had just struck the wrong chord, John Sebastian Bach, the immortal composer, entered the room, and the amateur rose in embarrassment, and Bach rushed past the host, who stepped forward to greet him, and before the keyboard bad stopped vibrating, put his adroit hand upon the keys changed the painful inharmony into glorious cadence. Then Bach turned and gave salutation to th« host who had invited him.

unt tne worst or au discords is moral discord. If society and the world are plainly discordant to imperfect man,, what most they be to a perfect God'1 People toy to define what sin is. It seemit to me that sin is getting out of harmony with God, a disagreement with His holiness, with His dignity, with His love,with His commands; our will clashing with Hi:t will, the finite dashing the infinite, this frail against the pnissant, the created against the Creator. If a thousand musicians, with flute, and cornet-a-piston. and trumpet, and violoncello, and hautboy, and trombone, and all the wind anil stringed instruments that ever gathered in a Dusseldorf jubilee should resolve that they would play out of tune, and put concord to the rack, and make the place wild with shrieking, and grsting and rasping sounds, they could not make such a pandemonium as that which rages in a sinful soul when God listens to the play of Its thoughts, passions and emotions—discord, lifelong discord, maddening discord. The world pays more for discord than It does for consonance- High prices hare been paid for music. One man gave $225 l» hear the Swedish songstress in New Yorlt, and another $625 to hear her in Boston, and another $650 to hear her in Providence. Fabulous prices have been paid for sweet sounds, but far more has been paid for discord. The Crimean war cost $1,700,000,000, and our American civil w»r over $9,500,000,000, and the war debts of professed Christian nations are about $16,000/100,000. The world pays for this nsd ticket, which admits it to the saturnalia of broken bones, and death agonies, and destroyed cities, and plowed graves, and crushed hearts, any amount of money Satan asks. Discord! Discord! But I have to tell you that the song that the morning stars sang together at the laying of the world’s corner-stone is to be resumed again. Mozart’s greatest overture was composed one : ' -ht when be was several times overpowered with sleep, and artists say they can t»U the places in the music where he sat falling asleep, and the places where he awakened. So the overture of the morning stars, spoken of in my text, -has been asleep, but it will awaken and be more grandly rendered by the evening stars of the world’s existence than by the morning stars, and the vespers will be sweeter than the matins. The work of all gtod men and women, and of all good churches, and all reform associations, is to bring the race back to the anginal harmony. The rebellious heart to be attuned, social life to be attuned, commercial ethics to be attuned, iuternationality to be attuned, hemispheres to be attuned. But by what force and in what way? In olden times the choristers had a tun-ing-fork with two prongs, and they would strike it on the back of pew or music-rack, and put it to the ear, and then start the tune, and all the other voices would join. Iu modern orchestra the leader ha; a complete instrument, rightly attuned, and be sounds that, and ail the other iperformers turn the keys of their instruments to make them correspond, and sound the bow over the string, isnd listen, and sound out over again, anti all the keys are screwed to concert pitch, and the discords melt into one great symphony, and the curtain hoists, and the baton taps, and audiences are- raptured with Schumann’s "Paradise and the Peri,” or Rossini’s “Stabat Mater,” or Bach’s “Magnificat” in D, or Gounod’s “Redemption.” New our world can never be attuned by an imperfect instrument. Even a 'Cremona would not do- Heaven has orda ned the only instrument, and it is made out of the wood of the croas, and the voices, cantatrices of the first Christmas night, whan Heaven serenaded the earth witli:

Glory to God to -toe highest, .and on earth peace, (cod will to men. Last we start too far off and get lost in generalities, we had better begin with ourselves—get oar own hearts and life in harmony with the eternal Christ. Ob, tor His almighty spirit to attune as, to cliord oar life with His life, and faring as into unison with ail that is pore and seif 'sacrificing and heavenly. The strings of oar nature are all broken and twisted, and the bow is so slack it can not evoke any thing meitfiaoas. The instrument made far Heaven to play on has been roughly twanged and struck by influences worldly and demoniac. O master hand of Christ, restore this split, and fractured, anil despoiled, and nnstrang nature until flrit it shall wad oat for our sin, and then thrill with divine pardon. The whole world matt also be attuned fay the same power. A few days tgo I was to the Fairbanks Weighing I Scale Manufactory of Vermont. Six hundred hands, and they have never had n strik e. Complete harmony between labor and, capital, the operatives of scores of years in their beautiful homes near by the mansions of toe manufacturers whoso invention and Christian behavior mado the grant enterprise. So nil the world over labor and capital will ha broog it in Too may have heard what is called the .“Anvil Chorus,” composed by Verdi, a tana played by hammers, great and iimall. now with mighty stroke, and now with heavy stroke, beating a great toon anvil. That is what the world has got to come to—anvil chorus, yard-stick chorus, shuttle chorus, trowel chans, crowbar chorus, pick-txe am* goM-toim «b«ra% i*|MrMk

chorus, locomotive chorus It can bo done, and it -will be done. So all social life will be attuued by the Gospel harp. There will be as many classes in society as now, but the classes will not be regulated by birth, or wealth, or accident, bat by the scale of virtue and benevolence, nt.d people will be assigned to their {daces as good, or very good, or most excellent. 80, sl*o, commercial life will be attuned, and there will be twelve in every dosen, and six teen ounces in every pound, and apples at the bottom of the barrel as sound as those on. the top, and silk goods will not be halt cotton, and sellers will not; have to charge honest people more than the right price j because others will not pay, and goods wlU come to you corresponding with the sample by which you purchased them, and ooffee will not be chiekoried, and sugar will not be sanded, and milk j will not t>e chalked, and adulteration of food will tie a State’s prison offense. Aye, all things shall be attuned. Elections in England and the United States will no more be a grand carnival of defamation : and scurrility, but the elevation of righteons men in a righteous way. In the sixteenth century the stagers ■ culled the Fischer Brothers reached the lowest bass ever recorded., and the highest note ever (thrilled was by La Bastards).!*, and Catalini’s voice had a compass oi three and a half octaves; bat Christianity is more wonderful; for it runs all up and down the greatest heights and the daspests depths of the world’s necessity, jtntl it will compass ev ery thing and bring it in accord with the song which the morning stars sang at the laying of the world's corner-stone. AH the sacred music in homes, and concert balls and churches tends toward this constant mation. Make it more and more bcartv. Bing In your families. Sing in your places of business. If we with proper spirit use these faculties, we are rehearsing for the skies. Heaven is to ha¥e a new song, an entirely near'sudgr bat I should not wonder if, as sometime a tune on earth is fashioned out of many »anes,'«rjt is one inni; with the variations, so some Of the M«g* of the redeemed may have through them the songs of earth; and liofW thrilling, as coming through the great anthem of the saved, accompanied by harpers with their harps and trumpeters with theiir trumpets, we should hear some of the strains of “Antioch,” and “Mount Pisgah” and “Coronatiou,” and “Ionox," and “St. Martin’s,” and “Fountain,” and “Ariel,” and “Old Hundred!” How they would bring to mind the praying circles and communion days, and ths Christmas festivals, and the church worship in which on earth we mingled! I have no idea that when we bid farewell ho !

tie arc era are to t>id farewell to all these grand old Gospel hymn? which melted and raptured our souls for so m any j years. How, my friends, tf sin is dtsoord and righteousness is harmony, let us g«S out of Ah» one and enter the other. After our dreadful civil war was ever and is j the 'summer of 1889, a - great National . peace jubilee was held in Boston, dad, as an elder of the church had been honored by the selection of iiocne of his music to be rendered on that ooca- j sion, I accompanied him to the jubilee. i Forty thousand people sat and sk»;. in 1 the gree t Coliseum erected for that pur- i pose. Thousands of wind and string*,; in- 1 stmments. Twelve thousand trained I voices. The master-pieces of ail age* iron- j dered, hoar after hour and day after day ' —Handel’s “Jadas Maccabaeus,” Spbor’s j “Last Judgment,” Beethoven’s “Hoctit of Olives,” Haydn’s ‘■Creation,” Mendels- ! sohn’s “Elijah,” Meyerbeer’s “Gitas- i tion March” rolling on and up in surges ; that billowed against the heavens! i The mighty cadences within were j accompanied on the outside by ! the ringing of the bells of the city, and cannon on the commons, in .mad time with the music, discharged by electricity, lihnndering their awful bar. of a harmony that astonished all nations. Sometime I bowed my head and wept. Sometimes I stood np in the enchant aunt, j and sometimes the effect was so overpowering I felt I could not endure it. When all the voices were in foil chorus, and all the batons in full wave, and all the orchestra in fall triumph, and a hundred anvils under mighty hammers were in full clang, and all the towers of! the city >;i tod in their majectic sweetness, and the whole building quaked with the boom of thirty cannon. Fare pa Rosa, with a voice that will never again be equaled on ninth until the Archangelic voice proclaims that time shall be no longer, rose above all other sounds in her rendering o' cur national air, the Star Spangled 3a,n air, It was too much for a mortal, and quite enough for an immortal, to bear, and while some fainted, one womanly spirit, release'! under its power, sped away to be with God. O, Lord, our God, quickly usher in the whole world’s peace jubilee, and all Islands of the sea join the five Continents, and all the voices and musical instruments of all nations combine, and all the organs that ever sounded requiem of sorrow sound only a grand inarch of joy, and all thp bells that tolled for burial ring for resurrection, and all the cannon that ever hurled death across the nations sound to aternal victory, and over all the acclaim of earth and minstrelny of Heaves there will be heard one voice sweeter and mightier than any human or angelic voice, a voice once full of tears, bat then fall of triuiph, the voice of Christ saying: r , <• I am Alpha and Omen, the bogfnnic.s audthe end. tha first and the last. Then, at the laying of the top-stone of the world’s history, the same voices shall be heard as when at the laying of the world’s corner-stone: The morning stars sang together.

BOMBS IN JAIL A Startling Find in the OuU of Anarchist lungg. A Gnunit Search of the Cell* *rf 111 OvKtannliw Sm«H> to to* KMtoc at Six 8«i Hf» BoaW to Cgicaoo, Nor. 7.—The evil* of the nm condemned Anarchists In the coonsy Jail were searched yesterday and six loaded bombs were found hidden away in a wooden box which was concealed under a pile of newspapers in a corner. Some time ago Sheriff Matson decided to sesrch and clean cut the cells of the seven distinguished prisoners and yesterday was sat for the examination. Word was sent by tbs sheriff to the friends of the condemned, saying that no admittance would be given to the jail, and the entire force of deputy sheriffs reposted at the jail for daty. It was shoddy after half-past nine o’clock when Lingg and Engel were led from their cells to the consultation cage and the search began Kngel’s cell was first entered and thoroughly examined. The bed and tedding wore looked over, cracks in the wails and table thoroughly explored' and tie clothing hanging around the cell searched, bnt beyond a few empty cigar boxes, some trait, books and papers, nothing was found. Then the deputy sheriffs entered Lingg’s cell, while its former occupant planted himself in a corner of his temporary prison, and watched them with eager eyes. He was as pale as death, and trembled like an aspen leaf as the searchers moved around in the little stone-walled room. Buddealy two of the three men Inside Jumped oat to the corridor, while ,a third man held at arm’s length a smalt wooden box, which he carried carefully to the jail cfltoe and laid on Jailer Foil’s desk. The box contained six pieces of gas-pipe, each- about six or seven inohes la length, glled with some heavy substance and t--i a» both rnds. Jailer Pol* picked -closed at one and with of the officers pronounc bomb. Just I at the Jail and ordered that the dang weapons be placed In the box and sent to a chemist for analysis, though there was no doubt as to the result of the examination. Then the search wes continued, but beyond a quantity of rubbish nothing was

was and round. The colls of Fischer, Parsons, Spies, Schwab and Fielden were next searched in the order named, but no contra ban d articles of any kind were found. It was decided, however, that It was best to change the cells, and accordingly four apartments on the lower tier were cleaned out. No. 11, which is directly in front of the entrance to the jail and between two rows of Iron gratings, in which space three men are on gnard night' and day, prepared for Lingg*s reception, there the bomb manufacturer was locked up. He was given his bod, table, books and writing materials, but everything else was kept from him. He immediately sat down and began to write, keeping at work all day until it was too dark to see. The next cell to that now occupied by Lingg is need as a kind of store-room by the deputy jailers, and is also inside "of the space between the two gratings mentioned. Next west of this are cells 9, 9 and 7, which were cleaned out and given np to Engel, Fischer and Parsons, in the order named. Schwab and Fielden Were allowed to retain their old cells. Nos. !6 and 27, on the second tier, while Spies was ■ taken from his old ceil, No. 24, and pnt into No. 2S, jnst east of Schwab. All the prisoners except Lingg submitted to the change and search without displaying the slightest emotion. Lingg seemed much worried when he was told of what was contemplated, and showed so plainly that something was wrong that the jailers were not so greatly surprised as they might have been over the discovery subsequently made. Sheriff Matson was seen on the subject during-the afternoon. H— was T*Jeent at first, but, after contidr— made a dean breast of the Whole ‘•We had no reason,” he said., “to the search at this partiem|r js we received no inti thing was wrong. I* wat me cautionary measure, decMg||j||fg time ago by Jailer Foil and _ selected Sunday as a quiet day examination would make lain d1 a aco than if It week day. For was so much of this amnesty business going on that I did not care to interfere with the good eitisens who were interested in the condemned ’ n or place any obstacle in their way. lint we felt as though the time bad come to take extra precautions, and so decided to clean the cells oat. Of coarse, in view ef the development# of the search, the most stringent precautionary measures will now be taken. The prisoners will not be •'.lowed to exercise as mochas formerly and the number of visitors will be restricted. No on# will be allowed to visit any of ths condemned in the cage and If any interviews are granted it will be only to near relatives and in the pres^nce of a jail official. I wont say that every visitor will be searched, but there will be no opportunity for any exchange of any thing whatever between the prisoners and outsiders. As for Lingg; I don’t know that ha wiM be allowed to see any one, but have not yet fully decided on that point. Henceforth no baskets of victuals or fruit will be allowed to be sent from any of the prisoners* friends to thorn, and no loiters or diepatches will be received or sent until they ere examined by a jail official.” “Will the condemned men ha restricted to prison fare?” “Well, no. They can have any thing they want to eat from this time on they are nay guests, and will be provided with any thing they deaire to eat at my ex- “ Where did yoe send the bomb# for examination?” “That I don't care to say, I will toll yoe the result of the investigation to-mor-row.”
