LUCKNOW, INDIA. The First of s Series of Round the World Sermons by Dr. Talmage. The Noted Divine Tells of the Horrible Sepoy Rebellion, ns He Learned the Story From n 8urvivor of Thnt Memorable Siege. Rev. Dr. Talmage Sunday began his series of round the world sermons through the press, the first subject selected being Lucknow, India. The text chosen was Deuteronomy xx, 19: “Wh^n thou shalt besiege a city a long time in making war against it to take it, thou shalt not destroy the trees thereof by forcing an ax against them.” The awfulest thing in war is besiegement, for to the work of deadly weapons it adds hunger and starvation and plague. Besiegement is sometimes necessary, but my text commands mercy even in that. The fruit trees must be spared because they afford food for man. “Thou shalt not destroy the trees thereof by forcing an ax against them.” But in my recent journey round the world I found at Luckno'w, India, the remains of the most merciless besiegement of the ages, and I proceed to tell you that story for four great reasons—to show you what a horrid thing war is and to make you all advocates for peace, to show you what genuine Christian character is under bombardment, to put a coronation on Christian courage, and to^show you how splendidly good people die. As our train glided into the dimly lighted station 1 asked the guard, “Is this Lucknow?” and he answered, •“Lucknow,” at the pronunciation of which proper name strong emotions rushed through body, mind and soul. The word is a synonym of suffering, of cruelty, of heroism, of horror such as is suggested by hardly any other word. We have for 35 years been reading of the agonies there endured and the daring deeds there witnessed. It was my great desire to have some one who had witnessed the scenes transacted in Lucknow in 1857 conduct us over the place. WTe found just the man. lie was a young soldier at the time the greatest mutiny of the ages broke out, and he was put with others inside the residency, which was a cluster of buildings making a fortress in which the representatives of the English government lived and which was to be the scene of an endurance and a bombardment the story of which poetry and painting and history and secular and sacred eloquence have been trying to depict. Our escort not only had a good memory of what had happened, but had talent enough to rehearse the tragedy. — In the early part of 1857 all over India the natives were ready to break out in rebellion against all foreigners and especially against the civil and military representatives of the English government.

A nan aozen causes are menuuueu for the feeling of discontent and insurrection that was evinced** throughout India. The most of these cases were mere pretexts. Greased cartridges jwere no doubt an exasperation. The grease ordered by the English government to be used on these cartridges were taken from cows or ^igs, and grease to the Hindoos is unclean, and to bite these cartridges at fhe loading of the guns would be an offense to the Hindoo’s religion. The leaders of the Hindoos said that these greased cartridges were only part of an attempt by the English government to make the natives give up their religion; hence unbounded indignation was aroused. Another cause of the mutiny was that another large province in Indm had been annexed to the British empire. and thousands of officials in the employ of the king of that province were thrown out of position, and they were all ready for trouble-making. Another cause was said to be the bad government exercised by some English officials in India. The simple fact was that the natives of Indian were a conquered race, and the English were the conquerors. For 100 years the British scepter had been waved over India, and the Indians wanted to break that scepter. There never had been any love or sympathy between the natives of India and the Europeans There is none now. Before the time of the great mutiny the English government risked much power in the hands of the natives Too many "of them manned the forts Too many of them were in governmental employ. And now the time had come for a wide outbreak. The natives had persuaded themselves that they could send the English government flying, and to accomplish it dagger and sword and firearms and mutilation and slaughter must do their worst. It was evident in Lucknow that the natives were about to rise and put to death all the Europeans they could lay their hands on, and into the residency the Christian population of Lucknow hastened for defense from the tigers in human form which were growling for their victims The occupants of the residency, or fort, were—military and non-combatants, men, women and children—in number about 1,693. I suggest in one sentence some of the chief woes to which they were subjected when I say that these people were in the residency five months without a single change of clothing; some of the time the heat at 130 and 130 degrees; the place black with flies and all a-squirm with vermin; firing of the enemy upon them ceasing neither day nor night; the hospital crowded with the dying; smallpox, scurvy, cholera, adding their work to that of shot and shell; women brought up in all comfort and never having known want crowded and sacrificed in h cellar where nine children were born; less and less food; no water except that which was brought from a well under the enemy’s fire, so that the water obtained was at the price of blood; the 6tench of the dead horses added to the eflftpvia of corpses, and all waiting f'r the moment when the army

of 60,000 shriek! ag Hindoo devils should break in upon the garrison of the residency, now reduced by wounds and sickness and death to 976 men, women and children. “Call me early,” I said, “to-morrow j morning and let us be at the residency before the sun becomes too hot.” At 7 o’clock in the morning we left our hotel in Lucknow, and I said to our oblig- j ing, gentlemanly escort, “Please take us along the load by which Havelock and Outram came to the relief of the t residency.” That was the way we j went. There was a solemn stillness as j we approach'll the gate of the resi- | dency. Battered and torn is the masonry of the entrance. Signature of shot and punctuation of cannon ball all up and down and everywhere. “Here to the left,” said our escort, “are the remains of a building the first floor of which in other days had been used as a banqueting hall, but then was used as a hospital. At this part the amputations took place, and all such patients died. The heat was so great and the food so insufficient that the poor fellows could not recover from the loss of blood. They all died. Amputations were performed without chloroform. All the anaesthetics were exhausted. A fracture that in other climates and under other circumstances would have come to easy convalescence here proved fatal. Yonder was Dr. Fayrer’s house, who was surgeon of the place and is now Queen Victoria’s doctor. This upper room was the officers’ room, and there Sir Henry Lawrence, our dear commander, was wounded. While he sat there a shell struck the room, and some one suggested that he had better leave the room, but he smiled and said: ‘Lightning never strikeV-twice in the same place.’ Hardly had he said this when another' shell tore off his thigh,and he was carried dying into Dr. Fayrer’s house on the other side of the road. Sir Henry Lawrence had been in poor health for a long time before the mutiny. He had been in the Indian service for years, and he had started for England to recover his health, but getting as far as Bombay the English government requested him to remain at least awhile, for he could not be spared in such dangerous times. He came here to Lucknow, and foreseeing the siege of - this residency had filled many of the rooms with grain, without which the residency would have been obliged to surrender. There were also taken by him into this residency rice and sugar and charcoal and fodder for the oxen and hay for the horses. But now, at the time when all the people were looking to him for wisdom and courage, Sir Henry is dying.” Our escort describes the scene, unique, tender, beautiful and overpowering, and while I stood on the very spot where the sighs and groans of the besieged and lacerated and broken hearted met the whiz of bullets, and the demoniac hiss of bursting shell, and the roar of batteries, my escort gave me the particulars.

“As soon as bir Henry was told tnat he had not many hours to live he asked the chaplain to administer to him the holy communion. He felt particularly anxious for the safety of the women in the residency, who, at any moment, might be subjected to the savages who howled around the residency, their breaking in only a matter of time unless re-enforcements should come. He would frequently say to those who surrounded his death couch: ‘Save the ladies. God help the poor women and children!’ He gave directions for the desperate defense of the place. He asked forgiveness of all those whom he might unintentionaUy have neglected or offended. He left a message for all his friends. He forgot not to give direction for the care of his favorite horse. He charged the officers, saying: ‘By no means surrender. Make no treaty or compromise with the desperadoes Die fighting.’ He took charge of the asylum he had established for the children of soldiers. He gave directions for his burial, saying: ‘No nonsense; no fuss. Let me be buried with the men.’ He dictated his own epitaph, which I read above his tomb: ‘Here lies Henry Lawrence, who tried to do his duty. May the Lord have mercy on his soul.’ He said: ‘I would like to have a passage of Scripture added to the words on my grave, such as, “To the Lord our God belong mercies and forgivenesses, though we have rebelled against him.’* Isn’t it from Daniel? So as brave a man as England or India,ever saw expired. The soldiers lifted the cover from his face and kissed him before they carried him out. The chaplain offered a prayer. Then they moved the great hero amid the rattling h&il of guns and put him down among other soldiers buried at the same time.” All of which I state for the benefit of those who would have us believe that the Christian religion Is fit only for women in the eighties and ohildren under seven. There was glory enough in that departure to halo Christendom “There,” "said our escort, “Bob the Nailer did the work.” “Who was Bob the Nailer?” “Oh, he was the African who sat at that point, and when any one of our men ventured across the road he would drop him by a rifle ball.l Bob was a sure marksman. The only way to got across the road for water from the well was to wait until his gun flashed and then instantly cross before he had time to load. The only way we could get rid of him was by digging a mine under the house where he was hidden. When the house was blown up, Bob the Nailer went with it.” I said to him, “Had you made up your minds what you and the other sufferers would do in case the fiends actually broke in?” “Oh, yes!” said my escort. “We had it all planned, for the probability was every hour for nearly five months that they would break in. You must remember it was 1,600 against 60,000, and for the latter part of the time it was nine hundred against sixty thousand, and the residency and the earthworks around it were not put up for such an attack. It was only from the mercy of God that we were not massacred soon after the besiegement. We were resolved not to allow ourselves to get into the hands of these desperadoes. You must remember that and all'

the women had, heard 01 tho butchery at Cawnpur, and we knew what defeat meant. If unable to hold out any longer, we would hare blown ourselves up and all gone out of life together.” “Show me,” I said, “the rooms where the women and children staid during these awful months.” Then we crossed over and went down into the cellar of the residency. W ith a shudder of horror indescribable I entered the cellars where 622 women and children had been crowded until the whole room was full. I know the exact number, for I counted their names on the roll. As one of the ladies wrote in her dairy—speaking of these women she said, “They lay upon the floor fitting into each other like bits in a puzzle.” Wives had obtained from their husbands the promise that the husbands would shoot them rather than let diem.fall into the hands of these desperadoes. The women within the residency were kept on the smallest allowance that would maintain life. No opportunity of privacy. The death angel and the birth angel touched wings as they passed. Flies, mosquitoes, vermin in full possession of the place, and these women in momentary expectation that the enraged savages would rush upon them, in a violence of which club and sword and torch and throatcutting would be the milder forms. Our escort told us again and again of the bravery of these women. They did not despair. They encouraged the soldiery. They waited on the wounded and dying in the hospital. They gave up their stockings for holders of the grape-shot. They solaced each other when their children died. When a husband or father fell such prayers of sympathy were offered as only women can offer. They endured without complaint They prepared their own children for burial. They were inspiration for the men who stood at their posts fighting till they dropped. Our escort told us that again and again news had come that Havelock and Outram were on the way to fetch these besieged ones out of their wretchedness. They had received a letter from Havelock rolled up in a quill and carried in the mouth of a disguised messenger, a letter telling them he was on the way, but the next news was that Havelock had been compelled to retreat. It was constant vacillation between hope and despair. But one day they heard the guns of relief sounding nearer and nearer. Yet all the houses of Lucknow were forttresses filled with armed miscreants, and every step of Havelock and his army was contested—firing from housetops, firing from windows, firing from doorways.

I askea our inena xs ne tnougnt xnav the world famous story of a Scotch lass in her delirium hearing the Scotch bagpipes advancing with the Scotch regiment was a true story. He said he did not know but that it was true. Without this man's telling me I knew from my own observation that delirium sometimes quickefls some of the faculties, and I rather think the Scotch lass in her delirium was the first to hear the bagpipes. I decline to believe that class of people who would like to kill all the poetry of the world and banish all the fine sentiment. They tell us that Whittier’s poem about Barbara Freitchie was founded on a delusion, and that Longfellow’s poems immortalized things that never occurred. The Scotch lass did hear the slogan. I almost heard it myself as I stood inside the residency while my escort told of the coming on of the Seventy-eighth highland regiment. “Were you present when Havelock came in?” I asked, for I could suppress the question no longer. His answer came: “I was not at the moment present, but with some other young fellows I saw soldiers dancing while two highland pipers played, and 1 said, ‘What is all this excitement?’ Then we came up and saw that Havelock was in, and Outram was in, and the regiments were pouring in.* “Show us where they came in,” I exclaimed, for I knew that they did not enter through the gate of the residency, that being banked up inside to keep the murderers out. “Here it is,” answered my escort. “Here it is—the embrasure through which they came.” We walked up to the spot. It is now a broken down pile of bricks a dozen yards from the gate. Long grass, now, but then a blood-spattered, bullet scarred opening in the wall. As we stood there, although the scene was thirty-seven years ago, I saw them come in—Havelock pale and sick, but triumphant, and Outram, whom all the equestrian statues in Calcutta and Europe can not too grandly present. “What then happened?” I said to my escort. “Oh,” he said, “that is impossible to tell. The earth was removed from the gate, and soon all the army of relief entered, and some of us laughed, and some cried, and some prayed, and some danced. Highlanders so dust covered and enough blood and wounds on their faces to make them unrecognizable snatched the babes out of their mothers’ arms and kissed them and passed the babies alpng for other soldiers to kiss, and the wounded men crawled out of the hospital to join in ’the cheering, and it was wild jubilee until, the first excitement passed, the story of how many of the advancing army had been slain on the way began to have tearful effect, and the story of suffering that had been endured inside the fort, and the announcement to children that they were fatherless, and to wives that they were widows; submerged the shouts of joy with wailing of agony. “But were you not embarrassed by the arrival of Havelock and fourteen hundred 'men who brought no food with them?” He answered: “Of course we were put on smaller rations immediately in order that they might share with us, but we knew that the coming of this re-enforcement would help us to hold the place until further /relief should come. Had not thisr first relief arrived as it did, in a day or two at most and perhaps in any hour the beseigers would have broken in, and our end would have come. The Sepoys had dug six mines under the residency, and would soon have exploded all ”

HOG POINTERS. Science can’t Invent anything better for young animals than pure milk. Feed the sow liberally on non-heating materials. Feed pigs a pound of corn meal to twenty pounds of milk; this makes a nutritive ratio of one to eight. When the pigs are approaching time for fattening increase the proportion of meal to milk. lr you are going to feed, feed. Don’t do it by halves. It costs less to put on 100 pounds of fat in a month than In three months with like material. But remember that there is a point in fat* tening beyond which it is not profitable toga Blood does not “tell** so fast in any stock as in hogs. Having as they do, two, and sometimes three litters per year, of eight to twelve in a litter, a wide-awake breeder may very soon have a fine drove and hogs to sell. ; Since sheep seem so balky in returnbig profits we shall have to make more of a specialty of swiiie. No stock pay better in money returns and in farm fertility. Don’t stock up with a poor breed. Better have one well bred sow than half a dosen in-bred, weak scrubs. A good hog is as essential to profit as a good cow. Avoid the raoe of swine having a pinched, stunted or immature appearance. Fullness in length, depth and breadth, completeness in rotundity ‘and ease of motion speak well for a hog’s digestion, prosperity -and his oar pacity to make pork profitably, i Look out for lioe on store hogs. These parasites will do more to damage .the comfort and appearance and also the productive value of a hog than several other troubles combined. Drip lard or cotton oil scented with kerosene along their backs onoe per week for three weeks. Look sharp. FOR WOMAN’S WEAR. Black velvet collars with ermine edging are popular. * Alsatian bow effects in short plumes are among the novelty hat trimmings. Little pompon trimmings standing upright over the forehead are much liked for stylish young women. A sealskin cape made in full ruffle fashion with a longer cape of ermine is new and stylish, and expensive as well. A gen cine old-fashioned poke bonnet has a trimming of loops of ribbon at the side with plumes standing high up over the crown. It is tied under the chin with wide ribbons.

A late instance of what used to he a common form of divination was reported in one of the London newspapers at the time when there was war bet ween England and Ashantee. The king of Ashantee consulted his fetish men in order to find out from them what his future fate was to he and the result of his opposition to the English. He therefore, after having resorted to various means without success, ordered two he-goats to be selected and brought before him, one entirely black, the other of a spotted white color. This was done, and after due fetish ceremonies had been performed over the two goats, they were set at each other. The white goat easily overcame and killed his opponent. Koffee Calcalli, after this test, was satisfied that he was doomed to defeat at the hands of the white man. He immediately sent an embassy to Sir Garnet Wolseley to sue for peace.— Youth’s Companion. —The patent office has only recently settled a dispute involving a great deal of money over the rights in “continuous** cigarette {machines. It has decided that the original inventor was Albert H. Hook. This contrivance has greatly lessened the cost of making cigarettes, which are now turned out at the rate of five hundred a minute. The paper is fed in a long strip endwise to the machine, which feeds the tobacco to it, and would produce {a single cigarette a mile or so in length, perhaps, only that a keen-edged knife descends upon the cylinder as it passes through and chops it off in lengths. Incidentally to the same operation the cigarettes are pasted, and without further labor they are ready to be put up in packages for sale.

*—Doubtless some of the smart remarks attributed to witnesses in court by conscienceless steary tellers could not be supported by affidavits, but the following conversation actually occurred at Pittsburgh recently: Attorney Reardon was defending a vAient charged with illegal liquor selling, when Ruth Woodruff, a former client bf Reardon's, was called to the stand. “You have been here before, haven’t you?” said the attorney. “You ought ta know, Mr. Reardon,” she replied. “And you were sent to the workhouse, weren’t you?” “Well, I gave you enough money to keep me out of it,” retorted Ruth. - “You were innocent, of course,” persisted the attorney, sarcastically. “Well, you said I was,” replied Ruth.
