—■ _ ■ s "talmage’s. sermon. Winders of the Eye, the Imperial Human Organ. Tfc« Bye.In the Mlble-An Organ Honored Before It erne Created—The Eye of God Whirh 8eeth All Things. Her. T. DeWitt TaImage selects the following sermon for publication this week. Its subject: “The All-Seeing,” is based on the text: He (bat formed the eye. shall He not see?— Psalm xciv.. 0. The imperial organ of (lie human cystem is the eye. All up and down tlie Bible God honors it, extols it, illustrates it, or arraigns it. Fire hundred and thirty-four times it is men- j tinned in the Bible. Omnipresence— “the eyes of the Lord are in every place.” Divine care—“as the apple of j the eye.” The clouds—“the eyelids of j the morning.” Irreverence—“the eye that mocketh at its father.” Pride— “Oli, how lofty are their eyes!” Inattention—“the fool’s eye in the ends of the earth.” Divine inspection— “wheels full of eves.” Suddenness— “in the twinkling of an eye at the last trump.” Olivetic sermon—“the light of the body in the eye.” This morning’s text—“He that formed the eye, shall he not see?” The surgeons, the doctors, the anatomists and physiologists understand much of the glories of the two great lights of the human face; but the vast multitudes go on from cradle to grave without *ny appreciation of the twoj great masterpieces of the Lord j Ood Almighty'. If God had lacked j anything of infinite wisdom he would have failed in creating the human eye. | We wander through the earth trying | to see wonderful sights, but the most wonderful sight that we ever see is not so wonderful as the instruments , through which we see it. It has been a strange thing to me for forty years ! that some scientist, with enough elo- | quence and magnetisip, did not go j through the country’ with illustrated j lectures on canvas thirty feet square, to startle, and thrill, and overwhelm/] Christendom with the marvels of tfie j human eye. We want the eye taken from all its technicalities, and someone who shall lay aside all talk about the pteryoinaxillary fissures, and the chia&ma of the optic nerve, and in j common parlance, which you and 1 { and everybody cun understand, present the subject. We have learned j men who have been telling us what I we were. Oh! if some one should come forth from the dissecting table and j from the class-room of the uuiversity I and take the platform, and, asking the help of the Creator, demonstrate the wonders of what we are! If I refer to the physiological facts suggested by the former part of my text, it is only to bring out in a plainer way the theological lessons of the latter part of my text, “He that formed the' eye, shall he not see?” I suppose my text referred to the human eye, since it excels all others in structure and adaptation. The ey’es of fish, | and reptiles, and moles,, and bats are very simple things, because they have I not much to do. There are insects with a hundred eyes, but the hundred j eyes have less faculty than the human eye. The black beetle swimming the ! summer pond-has two eyes under wa- ! ter and two eyes above the waters, but the four insectile are not equal to the 1 two human. Man, placed at the head | of all living creatures, must have the j supreme equipment, while the blind i fish in the Mammoth cave of'

Kentucky have only an undeveloped organ of sight, an apology for the eye, which, if through some crevice of the ► mountain they should get into the sunlight, might be developed into posi-1 tive eyesight. In the first chapter of j CJeuesis we find that God, without any i consultation, created the light, ere,- ! ated the trees, created the fish, created the fowl."but when He was about to nmalce man lie called a convention of divinity, as though to imply that all the powers of Godhead were to be enlisted in the achievement. “Let us •make man.” Put a whole ton of em- I phasis on the word “us.” “Let us j snake man.” And if God called a contention of divinity to create man, I j think the two great questions in that •conference were how to create a soul | ■and how to make au appi-opriate window for that emperor to look out of. •' See how God honored the eye before lie created it. lie cried, until chaos ! was irradiated with the utterance: | “Let there 1 e light!” In other words, before He introduced man into this 'temple of the world He illuminated it, ^prepared it for the eyesight. And so, | after the last human eye has been destroyed in the final demolition of the world, stars are to -fail, and the sun is to cease its shining, and the moon is to turn into blood. In other words, after the human eyes are no more to be profited by their shining, the chandeliers of Heaven are to be turned out. God, to educate and to bless and to help the human eye, set in the mantle of heaven two lamps—a gold lamp and a silver' lamp—the one for the day and the other for the sight. To show how God honors the eye, look at the two halls built for the residence of the eyes, seven bones making the wail for each eye, the seven bones curiously wrought together. Kingly palace of ivory is considered rich, but the halls for the residence of the human eye are richer by so much as human bone is more saered than elephantine tusk. See how God honored the eyes when he made a r»of for them, so that the sweat of toil should not smart them; and the rain dashing against the forehead should not drip into them; the eyebrows not bending over the eye, but reaching to the right-and to the left, so that the rain and the sweat should be competed •to drop upon the cheek, instead of falling into this divinely protected human eyesight See how God , honored the eye in the fact presented by anatomists and physiologists that there are eight hundred contrivances in every eve. For window-shutters the

©jellds opening and dosing thirty thousand times a day. The eyelashes so constructed that they hare their selection as to what shall be admitted, saying to the dust, “Stay out,” and saying to the light, “Come in." For inside curtains, the iris, or pupil.of Che eye, according as the light is greater or less, contracting or dilating. The eye of the owl isbl ind in the daytime, the eyes of some creatures are blind at night, but tthe human eye, so marvel* ously constructed, can see both by day and by night. Many of the other creatures of G*od' can move the eye only from side to side, but the human eye is marvelously constructed has one muscle to lift the ey e, mud another muscle -to lower the eye, and another muscle to roll it to thh right, and another muscle to roll it to the left, and another muscle passing through a puljey to turn it round and round—an elaborate gearing of six muscles as perfect as God could mike them. There also is the. retina, gathering the rays of light and passing the visual impression along the optic nerve, about the thickness of the lanspwick—passing the visual “impression on to the sensorium, and on into the soul. What a delicate lens, what an exquisite screen, what soft cushions, what wonderful chemistry of the human eye! The eye washed by a slow stream of moisture, whether we sleep or wake, rolling imperceptibly over the pebble of the eye and emptying into a bone of the nostril. A contrivance so wonderful that it can see the sun. ninety-five million miles away, and the point of a pin. Telescope and microscope in the same contrivance. The astronomer swings and moves this way and that, and adjusts and readjusts the telescope until he gets it to the right focusf the microscopist moves th is "way and that, and adjusts and readjusts the magnifyiiog glass until it is prepared to do its work; but the human eye, without a torch, beholds the star and the smallest insect' The traveler among the Alps, with one glance taking in Mont Blanc and the face of his watch to see whether he lias time to climb it. Oh! this wonderful camera obscura which you and | carry about with us, so lo-day we can take in our friends, so from the top of Mount Washington we can take in New England, so at night we can sweep into our vision the constellations from Horizon to horizon. So delicate, so semi-infinite, and yet the light coming ninety-five million miles at the rate of two hundred thousand miles a second is bbliged to halt at the gate of tips eye, waiting for admission until the portcullis be lifted. Something hurled ninetyfive million miles and striking an instrument which has not the agitation of even winking under the power of the stroke. There, also, is the merciful arrangement of the tear glared, by which the eye is washed, and from which rolls the tide which brings the relief that comes in tears when some bereavement or great loss strikes us. The tear not an augumentatioh of sorrow, but the breaking up of the arctic of frozen grief in the warm gulf stream of consolation. Incapacity to weep in madness or death. Thank God for the tear glands, and that the crystal gates are so easily opened. Oh! the wonderful hydraulic apparatus of the human e^e. Divinely constructed vision! Two light houses at the harbor of the immortal soul, under the shining of which the world sails in and drops anchor. What an anthem of praise to God is the human eye! The tongue is speechless and a clumsy instrument of expression as compared with it. Have you. not seen it flash with indignation or kindle with enthusiasm, or expand with devotion, or melt with sympathy, or stare with fright, or leer with viiliany, or droop with sadness, or pale* with envy, or fire with revenge, or*

twinkle with mirui, or Deaia wun love? It is tragedy and comedy and pastoral and lyric in turn. Have you not seed its uplifted brow of surprise, or its frown of wrath, or its contraction of pain? If the eye say one thing: and the lips say another thing, you believe the eye rather than the lips. The eyes of Archibald Alexander and Charles G. Finney were the mightiest part of their sermon. George Whltefield enthralled great assemblages with his eyes, though they were crippled with strabismus. Many a military chieftain has with a look hurled a regiment to victory or to death. Martin Luther turned his great eye on an assassin who came to take his life', and the villain fled. Under the gianeeof the human eye, the tiger, with five times a man's strength, snarls back into the African jungle. But those best appreciate the value of the eye who have lost it. The Emperor Adrian by accident put out the eyeiof his servant, and - he said to his servant: “What shall I pay you in, money dr in lands? Anything you ask me; I api so sorry I put your eye out.” But the servant refused to put any financial estimate on the value of the eye, and when the emperor urged and urged again the matter, he said: “Oh, emperor, I want nothing but my lost eye.” Alas for those for whom a thick and impenetrable vail is drawn across jthe face of the heavens and the face of one’s own kindred] That was a pathetic scene when a blind man lighted a torch at night and was found passing along the highway, and some one said: “Why do you carry that torch when you cah’t see?” “Ah!” said he, “I can’t see, but I carry this torch that others may see me and pity my helplessuess and not run me down.” Samson, the giant, with his eyes put out by the Philistines, is more helpless than the; smallest dwarf with vision undamaged. All the sympathies of Christ were stirred when He saw Bartiineus with darkened retina, and the only salve He ever made that we read of was a mixture of dust and saliva and a prayer, with which he cured the eyes of a man blind from his nativity. The value of the eye is shown as much by its catastrophe as by its healthful action. Ask the man who for twenty years has not seen the sun rise. Ask the man who for half a century has

not seen the face of a friend. Ask in the hospital the victim of ophthalmia. Ask the man whose eyesight perished in a powder blast Ask the Bartimeus who never met a Christ or the man born blind who is to die blind. Ask him. This morning, in my imperfect way, I have only hinted at the splendors, the glories, the wonders, the Divine revelations, the apocalypses of the human eye, and 1 stagger back from the awful portals of the physiological miracle which must have taxed the ingenuity of a God, to cry out in your ears the words of my text: He that formed the eye, shall lie not see?*’ Shall Herschel not know as much as his telescope? Shall Fraunhofer no t know as much as his spectroscope? Shall Swammerdan not know as much as bis microscope? Shall Dr. Hooke not know as much as his micrometer? Shall the thing formed know more than its master? “He that formed the eye, shall He not see?” The recoil of this question is tre mendouij. We stand at the center of a vast circumference of observation. No privacy. On us, eyes of cherubim, eyes of seraphim, eyes of archangel, eyes of God. We may not be able to see the inhabitants of other worlds, but perhaps they may be able to see us. We have not optical instruments strong enough to descry them; perhaps they have optical instruments strong enough to descry us. The mole can not see the eagle mid sky, but the eagle mid sky can see the mole mid grass. We are able to see .mountains and caverns of another world; but perhaps the inhabitants of other worlds can see the towers of our cities, the flash of our boss, the marching of our processions, the white robes of our weddings, the black scarfs of our obsequies. The eyes with which we look into each other’s face to-day suggest it. It stauds written twice on your face and twice on(foine.unless through casualty one or both have been - obliterated. “He that formed the eye, shall lie not see?” Oh, the eye of God! It sees our sorrows to assuage Them, sees our perplexities to disentangle them,.*ees our iwunts to sympathize with them. If we fight Him back, the eye of an antagonist. If we ask His grace, the twe of an everlasting friend. \ou often find in a bopk or manuscript a star calling your attention to a footnote, or explanation. That star the pribter calls an asterisk. Hut all the stars of the night are asterisks calling your^ attention to God, an all-observing God. Our every nerve a Divine handwriting. Our every muscle a pulley divinely swung. Our every bone sculptured with Divine suggestion. Our every eye a reflection of the Divine eye. God above us, and God beneath us, and God before us, and God behind us, and God within us. What a stupendous thing to live! What a stupendous thing to die! No sueh thing as hidden transgression. A dramatic advocate in olden times, at night in a court room, persuaded of the innocence of his client j charged with murder, and of the guilt of the witness who was trying to swear the poor man’s life away—that advocate took up two bright lamps *and thrust them close up to the face of the witness, and cried: “May it please the court and the gentlemen of the jury* behold the murderer!” and the man, practically under that awful glare, confessed that he was the criminal instead of the man arraigned at the bar. Oh, my friends, our mast hidden sin is under a brighter light than that; it is under the burning eye of God. He is not a blind giant

stumbling' througn tne neavens. ne is not a blind monarch feeling' for the step of His chariot. Are you wronged? He sees it. Are you poor? He sees it. Have you -.domestic perturbation of which the world knows nothing? He sees it. “Oh.” you say, “my affairs are so insignificant I can’t realize that God sees me and sees my affairjs.” Can you see the point of a pin? Can you see the eye of a needle? Can you see a mote in a sunbeam? And has God given you that power of mihute observation and doss He not possess it Himself? t*He that formed the eye, shall He not Bee?” lint ycm say: “God is in one world and I am in auother world; He seems so far off from me, I don’t really think lienees what is going on in my life.” Can you see the sun ninety-five million milias away, and do you think God has as prolonged vision? But yon say: i “There are phases of life, and there are colors—shades of color—in ray annoyances and my vexations that I don’t think God can understand.” Does not God gather up all the colors and all the shades of color in the rainbow? And do you suppose there is any phase or any shade in your life He has not gathered up in His own heart? Besides that, I want to tell you it will soon all be over, this struggle. That eye of yours so exquisitely fashioned and strung, and hinged and roofed, will before long be closed in the last slumber. Loving hands will smooth down the silken fringes. So He giveth His beloved sleep, A legend of ! St Frotobert is that his mother was blind and he was so sorely pitiful for the misfortune that one day in sympathy he kissed her eyes, and by miracle she saw everything. But it is not a legend when I tell jrou that all .the blihd eyes of the Christian dead under the kiss of the resurrection morn shall gloriously open. Oh! what a day that will be for those who went groping through this world under perpetual obscuration, or were dependent on the' hand of a-lriend, or with an uncertain staff felt their way; and for the aged of dim sight about whom it may be said that “they which look out of the windows are darkened” when eternal daybreak comes in. What a beautiful epitaph that was a for a tombstone in a European cemetery: “Here reposes in God, 'Katrina, a saint, eiglity-five years of age and blind. The light was restored to her May 10, 1840.” ■—Of bituminous coal over one-third is produced in Pennsylvania, while Pennsylvania and Illinois together produced a little over one-half.

NKw York July *7.-11. G. Dun A Co., in their weekly review of trade, issue! to-day. say: It is not the season for the tide of business to rise, but there is perceived scarcely any shrinkage except that which comes naturally with midsummer heat. Lateness of spring trade throw heavy settlements into the second week of July and clearinghouse payments are now almost 9350,00!) smaller than in that week, but are 31.1 larger than last year, and only 6.0 per cent, smaller than in the same week of 1892. The volume of new business is small compared with recent months, but large/enough to encourage more opening of long-closed works and more advances in returns to labor. Important strikes show that the advance is not enough for some, but seem not more threatening than a week ago. The small shipments of gold count for nothing, and money markets are undisturbed. Accounts of shrinkage in the yield of wheat come both from Pacific states and the Dakotas. It wou|d be s strange and unnatural July without such reports, and yet they have weight enough this year to lead even the most experienced to reduce somewhat their estimates of yield, while the price has : advanced cents this week. Light western receipts—for the week not a third of last year’s, and for four weeks only 5,366.063 bushels, against 11,933,619 last year--strength-ened adverse reports, because the price a year ago was about 20 cents lower than it is now. The western movement largely depends on the export demand, which is phenomenally light Atlantic shipments for the week have been, flour included, only 671,561 bushels, against 2,518,996 last year, and for four weeks only 3,500,539, against 9.865,722 last year. * Corn advanced about a cent with wheat, but has since lost all the gain. Cotton has remained unchanged al. 7 cents, although the latest reports favor larger estimates of yield, a circular by Neill going much beyond other figures. It is somewhat significant that the stock markets show enj tire indifference to crop reports, and j the grangers have strongly .advanced as if no inquiry had been rumored. Prices of iron and steel products still rise, the feature this week bein;y the startling advance of 50 cents per keg in cut and wire nails, with new cards for various sizes which, it is stated, make the advance actually greater than it appears. Angles are also a shade higher and other prices strongly maintained., Bessemer pig does not advance, although the Carnegie and one other company have been buying about 140,000 tons, which is supposed to foreshadow large contracts for rails In the first half of 1895 orders for rails were 713,000 tons, against 502,000 im the first half of last year, and a good majority of orders appear at Chicagcv Otherwise there is a distinct halting in new demand, though nearly all the' iron and steel works are crowded with orders for some time'to come. Textile workens have a better outlook with larger demand, both for cotton and woolen goods, a shade ad - vance in the price of piece cloths and. most bleached goods and a more hopeful market for light-weight woolens, which, if scarcely advanced bej'ond; last year's prices, are on the wholp selling l>etter.

me nnaucsai situation is not disturbed by gold shipments, nor by tinlarge excess of treasury expenditures, amounting to about 812,300,000. Receipts are naturally better in July than in most other months, but expenses are also large. Money scarcely begins to go out for crop moving and the demand for commercial loans is ndt as large locally as it should be. Failures for seventeen days of July show liabilities of $6,599,751; of which SI,993,528 were of manufacturing aud 88,924,881 of trading concerns., A year ago corresponding reports scored $6,317,696, of which S3.588.938 were of manufacturing and $2,4S3,0ll of trading concerns. Failures for the week were 202 in the United States, against 249 last year, and 27 in Canada, against 89 last year. SECURED HER DISCHARGE. A Bloomered Typewriter .GetH Peremjw tory Notice to Quit. Rochester, N: Y., July 27. —Miss Mary E. Johnson, a typewriter in the employ of a well-known firm of attorneys, appeared Thursday in a suit of bloomers and astride a man’s highgeared wheel. She was completing some work m the office previous to her departure on a spin to the lake when the senior member of the law firm entered.

Crowds by the thousand flocked into the edifice and engaged in worship, but it took half a hundred policemen to enable Father Flaccek, the obnoxious priest, to return to the church from which he fled, so great was the excitement and indig.nation of the rebellious parishionera. It is feared that when police protection is withdrawn there will be a riot at the church.

KILLED BY CHEROKEE BILL. TtM Outlaw Kills • Gomrd at the Fort SMlth Federal Jail—Desperate Effort of the ( oodemned Criminal to Faeape the Gallowa—Hla Victim Plain While Assisting In Loeklat the Prisoners In Their ’ Celia Fort Smith. Ark.. July 27-—Chero-kee Bill, the notorious criminal outlaw, who is at present untler sentence of death, has another life to answer for. A little after 6 o’clock Friday evening R. C. Eoff, the turnkey of the federal jail, as is his custom, was making the rounds of the eel Is, engaged in locking the prisoners in* for the , night. The federal jail | is composed of three tiers, the lower floor being given over j to those convicted of murder. Cliero- , kee Bill’s cell is on this floor, on the j north side. The usual manner of fast- J ening the cells is by means of a lever j located in the corridor, at the end of j the cells. After this is done the turn- i key goes inside the steel grating which surrounds the three tiers and locks each cell separately. He had performed this duty on the south side, and had gone around to lock those on the north side. He was accompanied on kis rounds by Lawrence Keating,, the night guard, who always keeps on the outside of the steel grating in order that he may be able to suppress any riotous demonstrations on the part of any of the prisoners. As Eoff came to the cell next that occupied by Cherokee Bill, he expe-ienced some difficulty in locking the cell door, and remarked that it had been tamperea with. As he was endeavoring to release the keys Cherokee Bill’s cell door was thrown violently open and the outlaw stepped out with a cocked revolver in his hand. Throwing it down on Keating, the guard, who was only a few feet away, he said: “Throw up your hands. G—d d—n you. or I will k^you.” Hardly were The words out of his mouth before the fatal shot was^ fired. Keating, seeing his danger, turned slightly around, and the bullet struck him in the side. He staggered toward the stone wail near him and sank to the floor. He was dead in a few minutes. Eoff, seeing his own danger, abandoned his keys an l started to run. As he turned to the corner of the tier of cells Cherokee Bill fired at him, but i failed to hit him. Turning the next j corner, only a short distance away, j Eoff continued his flight down the ] south corridor, until he reached a cut- j off, where, by standing in the doorway | and clinging to the cell door, he had A i partial protection from the bullets, j While in this position Cherokee Bill j fired three shots at him, but none of J them took effect.. 1 At this juncture George Lawson, an- 1 other of the guards, who was upstairs in the jailer’s office at the time the firing commenced, appeared on the scene with a Winchester, and began firing in Cherokee Bill’s direction, but , the closely-wovefl grating prevented his taking, good aim, and his shots ' went wild. Seeing that his atte$npt to escape had proven futile, Cherokee Bill ran back to his cell. Other gukrds ran to L» wson’s assistance, and a regular fusilade was kept up for some time. Finally Cherokee Bill agreed to give up his revolver if the guards would promise not to kill him. He turned it over to Henry Starr, and by him the murderous weapon was passed out to the guards. A search of Cherokee Bill’s cell revealed the fact that he had in his possession enough cartridges to have killed fifty men. While the ex- j

citement was at tb^ highest ms sister, | who has been in the city several days, appeared among the crowd of excited citizens who had congregated on the outside, and created such a disturbance that it was found necessary for an officer to lodge her in the county jail. Cherokee Bill's brother is also in eity, and the supposition is that either he or his sister furnished the weapon with which the desperado did his deadly work. This is the second, time within a month that a revolver has been found in Cherokee Bill’s possession. George Pierce, who is under sentence of death, is believed to have been implicated in the plot. As Turnkey Eoff ran along the corridor he looked back and saw Pierce chasing him. In his hands he held the leg of a table, with which he thought to brain Eoff. Keating, the guard, was carried outside the jail and laid on the grass. He never spoke a word after receiving his death wound. He was a faithful and popular officer, and his death is deeplyH deplored. The shooting inside the jail - attracted a large crowd on the outside, J and when it was definitely known that Cherokee Bill had added another victim to his list indignation knew no bounds. Lynching was openly advocated, and had not United Stales Marshal Crump arrived on the scene when be did and securely locked the • heavy iron doors of the jail, it is probable *Cherokee Bill would now be dangling at the end of rope. A squad of fifty armed guards were on duty last j night to repel an expected attack. Crawford Goldsby, alias Cherokee Bill, alias Gorilla, is only 19, but has ; been convicted of train robbery and murder. One murder case is pending in the supreme court of the United States, and a charge of killing his brother-in-law is still on the docket here. _ —The United States has been the principal souuce of the world’s gold supply even since the discovery of gold in California._ "bright BITS.
