The CHRISTIAN SABBATH It is God’s Day and Should Be Held Sacred. The Necessity of Guarding the Day From Worldly Invasion** — The Sabbath of Paris and That ct American j Cities Compared.
The following1 discourse on ine Christian Sabbath” was chosen by Rev. T. DeWitt Talmage to be presented to his great reading congregation this week. It is based on the text: „ Verily my Sabbath ye shall keep.—Exodus. 3tx:d.. 13. 1 The wisdom of cessation from hard labor one day out of seven is almost universally acknowledged. The world has found out that it can do less work in seven days than in six, and. that fiftytwo days of the year devoted to rest are an addition rather than a substTaction. Experiments have been made in all departments. The great Lord Castlereagh thought he could.work his brains three hundred and sixty-five day's in the year, but after awhile broke doflfi and committed suicide; and Wilberforce said of him: “Poor Castlereagh! This is the result of the non-observance of the Sabbath!” A celebrated merchant declared: “I should have been a maniac long ago, but for the Sabbath.” The nerves, the brain, the muscles, the bones, the entire physical, intellectual and moral nature cry' out for the Sabbatic rest. What is true of man is, for the most part, true of the brute. Travelers have found out that they come to their places of destination sooner when they let their horses rest by the way on the Sabbath. What is the matter with those forlorn creatures harnessed to 6ome of the city' ears? Why do they stumble and stagger and fall? It is for the laek of the Sabbatic rest. In other days, when the herdsmen 1 drove their sheep and cattle from the j far west down to the seaboard, it was J found out by experiment that those herdsmen and drivers who halted over t' e seventh day got down sooner to the *? board than those who passed' on v ! out the observance “of the holy 4. bath. The fishermen off the coast c>- ewfoundland declare that those znen during the year catch the most fish who stop during the Lord's day. $ When I asked the Rocky mountain locomotive engineer why he changed locomotives when it seemed to be a straight route, lie said: “We have to let the locomotive stop and eool off or the machinery would soon break down.” Men who made large quantities of salt were told that if they allowed their kettles to eool over Sunday they would submit themselves to a great deal of damage. The 'experiment was made, some observing the Sabbath and some not observing the Sabbath. Those who allowed the fires to go down and \ ue kettles to cool once a week were ■ impelled to spend only a few pennies i the way of repairs, while in the ».uses where no Sabbath was observed, many dollars were demanded for repairs; In other words, intelligent man, dumb beast and dead machinery cry out for the Lord's day. Hut while the attempt to kill the Sabbath by the stroke of ax and Hail and yardstick has beautifully failed, it is proposed in our day. to drown the Sabbath by Hooding it with secular amusements. They would bury it very decently under the wreath of the target company and to the music of all brazen instruments. There are to-day, in the different cities, ten thousand hands and ten thousand pens busy inattemptingtocut out the of heart our Christian Sabbath, and leave it a bleeding skeleton of what it once was. The effort is organized and tremendous, and unless the rriends of Christ and the lovers of good order shall rouse up right speedily, their sermons and protests will be uttered after the castle is taken. There .are cities in the land where the Sabbath lias almost perished, and it is becoming a practical question whether we who received a pure Sabbath from the hands of our fathers shall have piety and pluck enough to give our children the same blessed inheritance. The b^ernal God helping us, we will! I protest against this invasion of the
Holy &abbatn, in tne nrst place, Decause it is a war on Divine enactment. God says in Isaiah: “If thou turn away thy foot from doing tliv pleasure on My holy day, thou sliait walk upon the high places.” What did He mean, by “doing thy pleasure?” He referred to secular and worldly amiisements. A man told me he was never so milch j frightened as in the midst of an earthquake. when the beasts of the field bellowed in fear, and even the barn-yard fowls screamed in terror. Well, it was when the earth was shaking and the sky was all full of fire that God made •the great announcement: “Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy.” Go through the streets where the theaters are open on a Sabbath night; go up on the steps; enter the boxes of those places of entertainment, and tell me if that is keeping the Sabbath holy. “O,” says some one, “God won't be displeased with a grand sacred concert.” Ji. gentleman who was present at a ■“ifrand sacred concert” one Sabbath night in one of the theaters of our great cities, said that during the exercises there were comic and sentimental ■songs, interspersed* with coarse jokes; and there were dances, and a farce, and tight rope walking, and a trapeze performance. I suppose it was a holy j dance and a consecrated tight rope. ! This is what they call a “grand sacred j concert.” We hear a great deal of talk about j “the rights of the people” to have just j .such amusements on Sunday as they j want to have. I wonder if the Lord | has any rights. You rule your family, i the governor rules the state, the presi- j dent rules the whole land; I wonder if j the Lord has a right to rule the na- j tions and make the enactment. ‘*Re- | member the Sabbath day to keep it holy,” and if there is any appeal to a high court from that decision; and if the men who are warring •gainst that enactment are not guilty j
of high treason against the maker of Heaven $nd earth. They have in our cities put God on trial. It has been the theaters and the opera houses, plaintiffs, versus the Lord Almighty, defendant; the suit has been beguna, and who shall come out ahead, you know. Whether it be popular or unpopular, I now announce it as my opinion that the people have jao rights save those which the great Jehovah gives them. He has never given the right to man to break the holy Sabbath. and as long as His throne stands, He will never give that right. The prophet asks a question whieh I can easily answer: “Will a man rob God?” Yes. They robbed him last Sunday night at the theaters and opera houses, and I charge upon them the infamous and high-handed larceny. 1 hold the same opinion as a sailor ,1 have heard of. The crew had been discharged from the vessel because they would not work while they were in port on the Lord's day. ^ The captain went out to get sailors, lie found one man and. he said to him: “Will you serve me on the Sabbath?” “No." “Why not?" “Well." replied the old sailor, “a man who will rob God Almighty of liis Sabbath would rob me of my wages if he got a chance.” Suppose you were poor, and you came to a dry goods merchant and asked for some cloth for garments, and he should say: “I’ll give 'you six yards:’* and while he was off from the counter binding up the six yards you should go behind the counter and steal one additional yard. That is what every man does when he breaks the Lord's Sabbath. God gives'Nis six days out of seven, reserving one for himself, and if you will not let him have it, it is mean beyond all computation.
Again, l am opposed to tnis aesecration of the Sabbath by secular entertainments because it is a war on the statutes of most of the states. The law in New York state says: “It shall not be lawful to exhibit on the first day of the week, commonly called Sunday, to the public, in any building, -garden, .grounds, concert room or other room or place within the city and county of New York, any interlude, tragedy, comedy, opera, ballet. play, farce, negro minstrelsy, negro or other dancing, or any other entertainment of the stage, or any part or parts therein, or any equestrian, eircus. or dramatic performance of jugglers, acrobats, or rope dancing.'* Was there ever a plainer enactment than that? Who made the law? You, who at the ballot-boxes decided who should go. to Albany and sit in the legislature. You who in any region exercise the right of suffrage. They made the law for you and for your families, and now I say that any man who attempts to override that law insults yon and me, and every man who has the right of suffrage. Still further: I protest against the invasion of the Sabbath, because it is a foreign war. Now, if you heard at this moment the booming of a gun in the harbor, or if a shell from some foreign frigate should drop into your street, would you keep your seats in church? Yon would want to face the foe, and every gun that could l*v managed would be brought into use, and every ship that could be brought out of the navy yard would swing from her anchorage, and the question would be decided. You do not want a foreign war, and yet I have to tell you that this invasion of Hod's holy day is a foreign war. As among our own native-born population there are two classes—the good and the bad; so it is with the people who come from qthei shores—thejre are law-abiding and the lawless. The former are welcome here. The more of them the better we like it. Hut let not the lawless come from other shores expecting to break down our Sabbath, and institute in the place of it a foreign Sabbath. llow do you feel, ye who have been brought up amid the hills of New England. about giving up the American Sabbath? Ye who spent your childhood under the shadow of the Adirondacks or the Catskills; ye who were born on the banks of the Savannah, or Ohio, or Oregon, how do you feel about giving up the American Sabbath? You say: “We shall not give it up. We mean to defend it as long as there is left any strength in our arm. or blood in our heart! l)o not bring your Spanish Sabbath here. Do not bring your Italian Sabbath here. Do not bring your French Sabbath hero. Do not bring vour foreign Sabbath here. It shall be for us and our eh.ldren forever a pure, consecrated, Christian, American Sabbath.”
1 will make a comparison between the American Sabbath, as some of you have known it, and the Parisian Sabbath. I speak from obser /ation. On a Sabbath morning I was aroused in Paris by a great sound in the street: I said: “What is this?” “O,” they said, “this is Sunday.” An unusual rattle of vehicles of all sorts. The voices seemed more boisterous than on other days. People running to and fro, with baskets or bundles, to get to the rail trains or gardens. It seemed as if all the vehicles in Paris, pf whatever sort, had turned out for the holiday. The “Champs jElysees” one great mob of pleasure-seeking people. Balloons flying. Parrots chattering. Foot-balls rolling. Peddlers ha wking their knickknacks through the streets. Punch and .ludy shows in a score of places, each one with a shouting audience. Hand organs, cymbals, and every kind of racket, musical anti unmusical. When f the evening came down, all the theaters were in full blaze of music, and full blaze of light. The wine stores and saloons were thronged with an unusual number of customers. At even-tide I stood and watched for the excursionists coming home, fagged out men, women and children, a gulf stream of fatigue, irritation and wretchedness, for I should think it would take three or four days to get over that miserable way of Sundaying. It seemed more like an American Fourth of July than a Christian Sabbath. Now, in contrast, I present one of the Sabbaths is one of our best American
cities. Holy silence coining down With the day dawn. Business men more deliberately looking into the faces of their children, and talking to them about their present and future welfare. Men sit longer at the table in the morning, because the stores are not to be opened and the mechanical tools are not to be taken up. A hymn is sung. There are congratulations and good cheer all through the house. The street silent until ten o’clock, when there is a regular, orderly tramp churchward. Houses of God, vocal with thanksgiving for mercies received, with prayers for comfort, with charities for the poor. Rest for the body. Rest for the soul. The nerves quieted, the temples cooled, the mind cleared, the soul strengthened, and our entire population turned out on Monday morning ten years younger, better prepared for the duties of this life, better prepared for the life that is to come. Which do you like the best, the American Sabbath or the Parisian Sabbath? Do you know in what boat the Sabbath came across the seas and landed on ourWhores? It was in the Mayflower. Db you know in what boat the Sabbath will leave us, if it ever goes? It will be in the ark that floats over a deluge of national destruction. Still further: I protest against the invasion of the Lord’s day, because it wrongs a vast multitude of employes of their rest. The play actors and actresses can have their rest between their engagements: but how about th% scene shifters, the ballot-dancers, the call-boys, the innumerable attendants and supernumeraries of the American theater? Where is their Sunday to come from? They are paid small salaries at the best. Alas for them! They appear on the stage in tinsel and tassel with halberds, or in gauze whirling in toe tortures, and they might be mistaken, for fairies or queens; but after twelve o’clock at night you may see them trudging through the streets in faded dresses, shivering and tired, a bundle Under their arms, seeking their homes in the garrets and cellars of the city. Now, you propose to take from thousands of these employes throughout this country, not only all opportunity of moral culture, but all opportunity of physical rest. For Heaven’s sake, let the crushing Juggernaut stop at least one day in seven.
Again: 1 oppose mis miHieru invasion of the Christian Sabbath because it is a war on the spiritual welfare of the people. You have a body?. Yes. Y’ou have a mind? Yes. You have a soul? Yes. Which of the secular halls on the Sabbath day will give that soul any culture? Now, admitting that a man has a spiritual and immortal nature, which one of the places of amusement will culture it? Which one of the Sabbath performances will remind men of the fact that unless they are born again they can not see the kingdom of God? Will the music of the “Grand Duehesse" help the people at last to sing the song of the one hundred and forty and four thousand? liesides, if you gentlemen0 of the secular entertainment have six days in the week in which to exercise your alleged beneficial influence, ought you not to allow Christian institutions to have twenty-four hours? Is it unreasonable to demand that if you have six days for .the body and intellect, we should have one day at least for our immortal soul. Or, to put it in anot her shape, do you not really think that our imperishable soul is worth at least one-seventh as much as our perishable body? An artist has three gems—a cornelian, an amethyst and a diamond. He has to ewt them and to set them. Which one is he the most particular about? Now the cornelian is the body, the amethyst the intellect, the diamond the soul. For the two former you propose six days of opportunity, while you offer no opportunity at all for the last, which is in value as compared with the others like one hundred thousand million dollars to one farthing, liesides, you must not forget that nine-tenths, aye, nine-ty-nine one-hundredths of all the Christian efforts of this country are put forth on the Lord’s Day. Sunday is the day on which the asylums and the hospitals and the prisons are visited by the Christian men. That is the day when the youth of our country get their chief religious information in Sunday schools. That is the day when the m ost of the charities are collected. That is the' day Avhen, under the blast of sixty thousand American pulpits, the sin in the land is assaulted and men are summoned to repent. When you make war upon any part of God’s da^y, you make war upon the asylums, and the penitentiaries, and the hospitals, and the reform associations, and the homes of the destitute, and the church of the living God, which is the pillar and the ground of truth.
Bring your voices, your pens, your printing presses, and your pulpit’s into the Lord’s artillery corps of the defenss of our holy day. To-day, in your families and in our Sabbath-schools recite: “Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy.” Decree before high Heaven that this war on your religious rights and the cradles of your children shall bring ignominious defeat to the enemies of God and the public weal. For those who die in the constant battling for the right we shall chisel the epitaph: “These are they who came opt of great tribulation, and had their robes washed and made white in the blood of the Lamb.” But for that one who shall prove in his moral crisis recreant to God and the Church there shall be no honorable epitaph. He shall not be worthy even of a burial in all this free land; but the appropriate interment for such an one would be to carry out his remains and drop them into the sea, where the lawless winds which keep no Sabbath mpy gallop over the grave of him who lived and died a traitor to God, the church and the free institutions of America. Long live the Christian Sabbath. Perish forever all at* tempts to overthrow it. Tuk leaving trees announce the coming summer.—Lowell Courier.
-^- SUGAR AMENDMENTS. Jk Dwpprate Fight to Prospect Over tho Sog»r. Schedule and a Deadlock May bo the Bcenlt—The House Inclined to Stand hy the Wilson Bill as Passed by That Body. With No Duty and No Bounty „ Upon Sugar. Washington, June 28.—No agreement a as yet been reached in the ways and means committee concerning thestand whieh the house is to take on the sugar schedule of the tariff bill. It is believed, however, that the struggle between the senate and the house on the schedule will be desperate, with a possibility of a long dead-lock between the houses. The Wilson bill, as it left the house, contained no sugar schedule, as the tax on raw and refined sugars had been struck out and the bounty had been abolished. outright. The schedule is therefore the only sugar proposition to go to conference, and the first issue will be on the rejection of the senate schedule entirely, thus returning to the house the former bill which contained no sugarschedule. Representative Price, of Louisiana, who represents the largest sugar district in the state, says the Louisiana delegation has made no plans and is simply waiting on the action of the senate. Representative Myer, of Louisiana, says the senate amendments give to sugar less than the Louisiana delegation contended for in the house. The free sugar men are very determined and some of them say there can be no compromise short of an absolute surrender of the senate to the house amendments. “The house is overwhelmingly op* .posed to either tax or bounty on sugar,” said Mr. Dockery. “It was so when the bill passed the house and it is so now. If anything the feeling is stronger for free sugar now than it was then. There is the voting strength, therefore to non-concur at the outset in the senate amendments and to keep non-concurring as often as the conference fails to reach an agreement. “I believe in remaining right at our desks until next March rather than surrender to the senate sugar schedule,” said Mr. Warner, of New. York. “I think, moreover, that the house is certain to make a resistance which will compel the senate to yield.” Mr. Warner was asked if the senate surrender would have to be absolute and unconditional or whether the house would itself yield somewhat for the sake of agreement. “The normal, natural, inheritent position of the house is for no tax and no bounty on sugar. 1 It would be this or something like this that the house •will insist on.” Representative Hatch, of Missouri, says: “My judgment is that the house ought to emphasize its position on sugar, and yet I believe any bill which comes out of the conference committee will be so far ahead of the McKinley bill that I would be ready to surrender my views on it to two or three articles in order to secure a bill.”
ARCHBISHOP TACHE. Death of the Famous Catholic Prelate of the Canadian Northwest. Winnipeg, Man., . June 23.—Arch* bishop Tache died at 6:S0 a. m., surrounded by several members of his clergy who have been in constant attendance at the bedside of the dying prelate. Thursday he rallied somewhat, and a gradual increase in his strength was noticed by the attending physi* cians during the afternoon and evening. Late Thursday night a United Press reporter was informed that the chances of his grace’s restoration to health were at that hour more favorable than at any time since his illness became serious. However, a relapse occurred early in the morning, death resulting at the time stated. The death of his grace will have an important effect on the Catholic church in the Canadian northwest, as but few men have been so loved by his people. He was the principal figure in the great educational struggle for separate schools. Archbishop Tache was born in Quebec province July 23, 1823, and came tc Manitoba as a priest in 1843. He readied St. Boniface after a tiresome journey of sixty-two days on October 12 following. Five years after he was nominated coadjutor to Bishop Prov* incher, with right of succession;- on September 22, 1871, Bishop "Ache was appointed archbishop and metropolitan of the newly-created ecclesiastical provice of St. Boniface. His life and labors are so entwined with the history and the progress of this country that it is impossible to separate them. With regard to the Red River trouble a great deal has been said and written against Archbishop Tache. Suffice to say that those who would know the part taken by Bishop Tache in the troubles give him praise for doing his utmost to keep peace among the people.

An Attempt to Explode a Mine Under His Train Discovered. Berlin, June 28.—A dispatch from St, Petersburg says that the Russian police discovered a mine which was intended to explode before the train conveying the czar to army maneuvers. The mine was cm the line of the Orel* Wetebek railroad. The regjcidal plfl is said to be the work of nihilists. In consequence of the discovery, the czar it is asserted, has decided to abandon his intention of attendirgtho opening of the Memorial church at Borki.
TAR AND FEATHERS. Terrible Outrage Committed I'pon AdjtGen. Tarsney of Colorado-Kidnaped From a Colorado Spring* Hotel. Carried Out Cpon the' Prairie, Stripped and Given a Coat of Tar and Feather*— Warned .tgainst Returning to Colorado Springs. Colorado Springs. Col.. June 24.— Probably the most glaring outrage connected with the recent trouble at Cripple Creek was committed. shortly after midnight. Adjt.-Gen. Tarsney of the Colorado state national guard, who was stopping at the Alamo hotel, was called from his room shortly after midnight and informed that some party at Cripple Creek wished to speak to him over the telephone. When (Jen. Tarsney appeared behind the clerk's desk to answer the alleged call he was suddenly CONFRONTED BY A MASKED MAN, armed with two revolvers, who requested him to accompany him. The hotel clerk in the meantime had been placed under guard of the kidnapers. Tarsney immediately called for help and was as quickly clubbed into submission with a reyolver and almost instantly several more of the kidnapers appeared and carried him to t,he sidewalk, where two closed carriages under guard were in waiting. The embarkation? WAS THE WORK OF ONLY A MOMENT and then ensued a wild ride east on Cueharras and north on Weber streets, then east to Anstin bluffs at the city limits, tin each of the driver's boxes sat one of the mob with a drawn revolver who saw that the hack drivers promptly obeyed orders. Arriving on the open prairie at Anstin bluffs, Gen. Tarsney was removed from the car riagc and stripped nude and A COAT ©#> TAB AND FEATHERS was administered. The ringleader ot the kidnapers had previously given orders that Tarsney was not to be abused. This order seems to have been obeyed after the general was subdued by clubbing at the hotel. After tar and feathering Gen. Tarsney the mob warned him against returning to the springs. While the mob were at the hotel Police Officer Agard, HEARD THE CALLS FOR ASSISTANCE and while on the way to render aid, was stopped by another member of the tarring party and eompeled at the point of a revolver to halt until the balance of the mob hard secured their man. In less than ten minutes after the hacks had departed, three mounted police started in hot pursuit of the abductors. One of these officers WHO STRIOK THE RIGHT TRAIL and came up with the mob, and had the pleasure of looking down the muzzle of a villainous gup and ordered to surrender, which he promptly did, and was an involuntary witness of the dastardly outrage.
GEN. TARSNEY STILL MISSING. The Outraged Officer's Position—Probable Cause of the Dastardly Visitation. Colordo Springs. Gal., June 23.—Police officers are scouring1 the country for Adjt.-Gen. Tarsney, but can find no trace of the missing man. There was a meeting of twenty-five deputy sheriffs at Antler’s park at 10 o’clock last night, and it is believed the-plot against Gen. Tarsney was hatched there. Gov. Waite is greatly excited over the outrage upon Gen. Tarsney. He has offered a reward of $1,000 for the arrest and conviction: of any of the participants. Timothy J. Tarsney was appointed adjutant general of Colorado by Gov. Waite. He is a brother of Congressman Tarsney, of Missouri, and ex-Con-gressman Tarsney, of Michigan. Gen. Tarsney was the personal representative of the governor- during the police board troubles when the militia were opposite the city hall. His undaunted bearing at that time antagonized the police and their sympathizers, and all freely stated that if shooting commenced he would be the first man to fall. In the earlier stages of the Cripple Creek trouble he was legal adviser for some of the miners, and since the settlement of the strike has resumed his services in that capacity. While the militia were in the field at Cripple Creek he was again the direct representative of the governor, through whom orders were transmitted to Gen. Brooks. In this service he found himself opposed once more to many of the men alligned against him at the city hall. _ Gone to Am 1st lu tbe Search. Denver, Col., June 24.—A special train containing a layge number of detectives left yesterday for Colorado Springs to assist in the search for Gen. Tarsney and the men who kidnaped him. Mrs. Tarsney and her daughter also left on the special train for the Springs.
A BEAUTIFUL MIRAGE. The People of Columbus. Ind., Given « Heavenly View of St. Louis. i Columbus, Ind., June 24.—Friday evening- the western sky presented a picture oi mirage of a beautiful city, with its churches, spires and elegant buildings, and wide streets lined with beautiful shade trees. The hillsides were covered with foliage, and at the foot of the hill was a beautiful river, shining like silver. The clouds which surrounded the scene were highly colored, and tinted with the various colors of the rainbow. The sky presented a true picture of some distant city, believed by some to have been St. Louis The beautiful scene was admired by many for at least thirty minutes. Much Damage by Storm inthe Yteftaity of Tiffln, O. Tiffin, O., June 24.—The. most severe tornado that has visited this section in half a dozen years swept this vicinity last evening. The air was oppressively hot, and th e storm burst forth without warning. It uprooted trees, leveled fe nces. destroyed houses and scores of fine orchards. A double-decked electric car narrowly escaped being toppled, over a foot embankment and three large trees were blown across the track directly in front of it. The passengers were almost frantic with fear,

The Beat and Wisest Way of Storing Them for the Summer. *' If the housewife is a good hygienist’ she has a great deal of wool in her domain, because she knows better than, tongue can tell how necessary all-wool garments are to the preservation of health in cold, weather. She religiously superintends the making, washing and mending of these garments in all sizes, from those worn by paterfamilias to the miniature ones affected by the baby, and when the time of year comes to put away she neatly darns even thevery tiniest holes, folds them entirely in cotton cloth, which she snugly ties with a string. These tidy rolls or bundles are then laid in trunk or chest, which is carefully closed away from dust. Two ** or three times during the summer the wools are taken out and hung out in ^ the air, after which they are carefully returned to their eotton wrappings, again. This is the modern method of putting away flannel. The moths never troublecotton, and the old notion of saturating all woolens with the disagreeable odor of camphor is entirely-exploded. That odor, by the way, is very difficult t<* eradicate. In fact, im some cases- it never is effaced, the result being obnoxious in the extreme—in some persons absolutely intolerable. It is surprising bow long a time it has taken, for housewives to evolve this fact out of the mental rubbish they have always cherished about the necessity for the use of camphor, but those who have-proceeded on the new plan, could not be- induced t» change back to the old. All wools must, of course, bo perfectly dean when they are put away, and it is an ill-wind which hurries a housewife- so that she can not find time to amend her flannels before packing them away for the smtA light, airy store room is much to be desired in any house, as the peeking away of boxes and trunks filled with wearing apparel in dark closets is unhandy as well as unhealthy. A true housewife prizes her clothes store room just as she does her china closet, and keeps it in equally as good carder. The floor should be washed frequently, and dnst should not be allowed to collect on doors and windows,—Jenaess Miller Magazine. —Le Caron, the British government spy, who died recently, enlisted in 1883 in Philadelphia as a bugler in Anderson’s (Fifteenth Pennsylvania^ cavalry* became chief bugler and held thin position until 1888, when he became a lieutenant in the Thirteenth regiment, United States oolored troops,—Chicago Army Magazine.
