TALM AGE’S SEIiilOX. -*— J£oep Your Windows Always Open Toward Jerusalem. A Diminri* Abounding In Christian ( hecrluliimit Riid encouragement—'TU« liomenU'k Allrn-Uiuoul From Daniel. flev. T. DeYVitt Talmage selects as tbe theme for this week’s sermon “The Open Window,” busing1 it on the text; His windows being open in his chnmbertoward Jerusalem. ' — Duniel vi., }0. Tlu* scoundrelly princes of Persia, urged on by political jealousy against Daniel, have succeeded in getting a law passed that whoever prays to God shall be put under the paws and teeth «f the lions, who are lashing tliem••^elves in rage and hunger up and doivn the stone cage, or putting their lower jaws on the ground, bellowing till tlie earth.trembles. Hut the leonine threat did not hinder the devotions of Daniel, the Ccenr-de-Lion of the ages. His enemies might as well have a law that the sun should not draw water, or that the south wind should not sweep across a garden of magnolias or that God should be abolished. They could not scare him with the red-hot furnaces, and they .cannot now scare him with the lions. As soon as Daniel hears of this enactment he leaves his oftlee of secretary of state, with its upholstery of crimson and gold, nud comes down the white marble steps and goes to liis own house. He opens his window anti puts the ghutters back and pulls the curtain aside so that he can look toward the sacred city of Jerusalem, and then Sprays, 1 suppose the people in the street gathered under and before his window, and said: “Just see that man defying the law; . he ought to be arrested.” And the constabulary of the city rush to the police headquarters an 1 report that Dauiel is on his knees at the wide-open window. “You are

toy prisoner, says the officer ot the law, dropping a heavy hand on the -shoulder of the kneeling Daniel. As the constables open the door of the •cavern -to thrust in their prisoner, they see t he glaring eyes of the monsters. Hut Daniel becomes the first lion-tamer, and they lick his hand and fawn at his feet, and that night he sleeps with the shaggy inane of a wild beast foi his pillow, while the king that night, sleepless in the palace, has tin him the paw and teeth of a lion lie can not taiue—the lion of a\re,tnorseful conscience. What a picture it would be for some artist: Darius, in the early dusk of morning, not waiting for footmen or chariot, hastening to the den, all flushed and nervous aud in dishabille, and looking through the crevices of the cage to see what had become of liis prime minister! “What, no sound!” lie says. “Daniel is surely devoured, aud the lions are sleeping after their horrid meal, the bones ofahepooj- man scattered across the floor of the cavern.” With trembling voice Darius calls out: Dauiel!" No answer, for the prophet Is yet in profound slumber. lint a lion, more easily awakened, advances, and, with hot breath blown through the crevice, seems angrily to deiuaud the cause of this interruption, and then another wild 'beast lifts his inune from under .Daniel's Head, and the prophet waking up comes forth to report himself all unhurt and well. Tttutour text stands us at Daniel’s window, open toward Jerusalem. Why in that direction open? Jerusalem was his native land, and all the pomp of his liab.ylonish successes could not make him forget it- He came there Xrom Jerusalem at eighteen years of age, aud he uever visited it, though he iiveti ,to be eighty-five j-ears. Yet, wben he wanted to arouse the deepest emotions and grandest aspirations of his heart, lie had his window open toward his native Jerusalem. There are , .many of yon to-day who understand that without any exposition. This is getting to be a nation of foreigners. They have come into all occupations -and professions. They sit in all -churches. It may be twenty years ago since you got naturalization papers, and you may be thoroughly Americanized, but you can’t forget the land of your birth, and your warmest sympathies go out toward it. Your windows are open toward Jerusalem. Your father and mother are buried there. It may have been a very bumble home in which you were born, but your memory often plays around it, and you hope some day to go aud see it—the hill, the dree, the brook, the house, the place so ii:erred, the door from which you started off with parental blessing to make your own way iu the world; and ilod only knows how sometimes you , have longed to see the familiar faces of your childhood, aud how in awful «riscs of life you would like to have

mnught a glunpse of t.he old, wrinkled ijiw that bent over you as you laj’ on the gentle lap twenty or forty or fifty years ago. You may have on this side <uf the sea risen in forthne, and, like I)anie\, have become great, and may imre come into prosperities which you never could have reached if you had 6tnyed there, and you may have mauy windows to your house—bay-windows, rara skylight windows, and windows conservatory, and windows on all sides—but you have at least one window open toward Jerusalem.! When the foreign steamer comes to •the wTb»rf you see the long line of 'fejiiiors, with shouldered mail bags,< ■coming down the planks, carrying as aiuiuy letters as you might suppose to be enough for a year’s correspondence, mud this repeated again and aguin •during the week. Multitudes of them srw letters from home, and at all the -post ofiieos of the land people will go -to the windows and anxiously ask for -them, hundreds of thousands of persona {hiding that window of foreign mu da the open window toward Jerusalem. Messages that say: “When are ■von oMo'.ng home to see us? Brother iius iou • to the army. Sister U dead.

Father and mother ore getting eery feeble. We are having u great struggle to get on here. Would you advise us to come to you, or will you come to us? All join in love, and hope to meet you, if not in this world, then in a better. Good-by." Yes, yes; in all these cities, and amid the flowering western prairies, and on the slopes of the Pacific, and amid the Sierras, and on the banks of the lagoon, and on the ranches of at Some of them were accustomed Lyons or Marseilles or F’aa*is to see on the street Victor Hugo and Gambetta. Some chased the chamois among the Alpine precipices. Some plucked "the ripe clusters from Italian vineyard. Some lifted their faces under the midTexas there is an uncounted multitude who, this hour, stand and sit and kneel with their windows open toward Jerusalem. Some of these people j played on the heather of the Scottish j hills. Some of them were driven out by' Irish famine. Some of them, in j eariy life, drilled in the German army night sun of Norway. It is no dishonor to our land that they remember the place of their nativity. Miscreonts would tlify be if, while they have some of their windows open to take in the free air of America and the sunlight of an atmosphere which no kingly despot lias ever breathed, they forgot sometimes to open the window toward Jerusalem, The dominion of this world over : multitudes is illustrated by the names j of coins of many countries. They have | their pieces <»f money which they call j sovereigns ntnl half-sovereigns, crowns and half-crowns,. Xapoleous and halfNapoleons, Fredericks and doublcFredejrieks, and ducats, and Isabellinos, all of which names mean not so much usefulness us dominion. The most of our windows open toward the exchange, toward the salon of fashion, toward the glod of this world. In olden times the length of the English yard was fixed bv the length of the arm of King Henry I„ and we are apt to measure things by a variable standard and bv the human arm that in the

great crisis ojf life onn give us no help, We need, like Daniel, to open our windows toward God and religion. mark you, that good “lion tamer is not standing at the window, but kneeling, while he looks out. Most photographs are taken of those in standing or fitting posture. 1 now remember but kneeling, an stone, who, i the heart of wara, found one picture of a man 1 that was David Llvingthe cause of tlod and civilization, sacrificed himself; and in Africa liis servant, Majhjitu in the tent by the light of a candle, stuck on the top of a box, his head in his hands upon the pillow, and dead on his knees. But here is a great lion tamer, living under tlie dash of the light, and his hair disheveled of the breeze, prayibg. The fact is, that a man can see further on his knees than standing on tiptoe. Jerusalem was about five hundred and fifty statute miles from Babylon, and the vast Arabian desert shifted its sands between them. Yet through that open window Daniel saw Jerusalem, sjaw all between it. saw beyond, saw time, saw eternitjv earth and saw Heaven Would saw you like to see the way through your sins to pardon, through your troubles to comfort, through temptation to rescue, through dire sickness to immortal health, through night today, through things ter.rest rial to things celestial, you will not see them till you take Daniel’s posture. No cap of bone to the joints of the lingers, no cap of bone to the joints of the elboj|\ but cap of bone ito the knees, made so because the Odd of the body was the God of the soul, and especial provision for those who want to pray, and physiological structure joins with spiritual necessity in bidding us pray, and pray, and pray. In olden time the earl of Westmoreland said he had no need to pray, because he lmd enough pious tenants on his estate to pray lor him; but all the prayers of live church universal amount to nothing . ujuless. like Daniel, we pray for ourselves. Oh, men and women, bounded* on one side by Shadrach's red-hot furnace, and the other side bv devouring lions, learn the secret of courage and deliverance by looking at that Babylonish window open toward the southwest! “Oh,” you say, “that is the dire.ction'of the Arabian Desert!” Yes; but on the other side of the desert is God. is Christ, is Jerusalem, is Heaven. The Brussels lace is superior to all other lace, so beautiful, so multiform, so expensive--four hundred francs a pound. All the world seeks it. Do you know how it is made? Thej spinning is done in a dark room, the only light admitted through a small aperture, and that light falling directly on the pattern. And the finest specimens o.f Christian character 1 have ever seen or ever expect to see are those to be found in lives all of whose windows have been darkened by bereavement and misfortune save one, but under that one window of prater the interlacing of divine workmanship went on until it was fit to deck a throne, a celestial embroidery which angels admired and God

approved. But it is another Jerusalem toward j which we now need to open our windows. The exiled evangelist of Ephesus saw it oue day as the surf of the leariaij sea foamed and splashed over the bowlders at his feet, :iud his vision reminded me of a wedding day, when the bride by sister and maid was having garlands twisted for her hair a nd jewells strung for- her neck just before she puts lier bethrothed hand j into the hand of her affianced. “I, John, saw the Holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down from God out of I Heaven prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.’' Toward that bridal Jerusalem are our windows opened? We would do well to think more of Heaven. It is not a mere annex of earth. It is not a desolate outpost. As Jerusalem was the capital of Jndea, and Babylon the capital uf the Babylonian monarchy, and London is the capital of ( h eat Britain, and'Washington is the capital of our own republic.

the New Jerusalem is the capital of the uDiverse. The king lives there, and the royal family of the redeemed have their palaces there, and there is a congress of many nations and the parliament of all the world. Yea, as Daniel had j^indred in Jerusalem of whom he often thought, though he left home when a very young man, perhaps father and mother and brothers and sisters still living, and was homesick to see them, and they belonged to the high circles of royalty, Daniel hiuiSelf having royal blood in his veins; so we have in the new Jerusalem a great many kindred, and we are sometimes homesick to see them, and they are all princes and princesses, in them the blood imperial, and we do well to keep our windows open toward their eternal residence. It |s a joy for us to believe that while we are interested in them they are interested in us. Much thought-of Heaven makes one heavenly. The airs that blow through that open window are charged with life and sweep up to us aromas from gardens that never wither, under skies that never cloud, in a spring tide that never terminates. Compared with it all other heavens are dead failures. Homer’s Heaven was an elysimn which lie describes as a plain at the end of the earth or beneath, with no snow nor rainfall, ami the suu never goes down, and Rhadamanthus, the ju.stest of men, rules. Hesiod’s heaven is what he calls the islands of the blessed, in the midst of the ocean, three times a year blooming with most exquisite flowers, and the air is tinted with purple^ while games and music and horse races occupy the time. The Scandinavian's heaven was the hall of Walhalla, where the god Odin gave unending wine suppers to earthly heroes and heroines. The Mohammedan’s heaven passes its disciples in over the bridge Al-Sirat, which is finer than a hair and sharper than a sword, and then they are let loose into a riot of everlasting sensuality.

I lie American aoorigmes look forward to a heaven of illimitable hunt- ! ing ground, partridge and deer and wild duck more than plentiful, and the hounds never off scent and the puns never missing fire. Hut the geographer has followed the earth round and found no Homer’s elysium. Voyagers have traversed the deep in all direc- I tions and found no Hesiod's islands of the blessed. The Mohammedan’s celestial debauchery and the Indian’s eternal hunting pround for vast multitudes have no charm. But here rolls in the Bible Heaven, j No more sea—that is, no wide separation. No more night—that is, ; no insomnia. No more tears—that is,no ! heartbreak. No more pain-^-that is, | dismissal of lancet and bitter draught I and miasma, and banishment of neu- j ralgias, and catalepsies, and eonsump- : tions. All colors in the wall except gloomy black: all the music in thema- j jor key, because celebrative and jubi- i lant. River crystalline, pate crystalline, and skies crystalline, because everything is clear and without doubt. White robes, and that means sinlessness. Vials full of odors, and that means pure regalement of the senses. Rainbow, and that means the storm is over. Marriage sxipper, and that means gladdest festivity. Twelve manner of fruits, and that means luscious and unending variety. Harp, trumpet, grand march, anthem, amen, and hallelujah, in the same orchestra. Choral meeting • solo, and; overture meeting antiphon, and j strophe joining dithyramb, as they roll into the ocean of doxologies. And i you and I may have all that, aud have • it forever through 'Christ, if we will j let Him with the bipod o't one wound- | ed hand rub out our sin, and with the j other wounded hand swing open the ! shining portals. bay and night keep your window j open toward that Jerusalem. Sing j about it. Pray about it. Think about j it. Talk about it. Dream about it. j Do not be inconsolable about your I friends who have gone into it. Do not j worry if something in your heart indi- i cates that you are not far off from its i ecstasies. Do not think that when a | Christian dies he stops, for he goes on. J An ingenious man has taken the heavenly furlongs as mentioned in j Revelation, and has calculated that there will be in Heaven one hundred j rooms sixteen feet square for each as- ; cendiup soul, though this world should ! lose a hundred million souls yearly. J But all the rooms of Heaven will be ours, for they are family rooms; and as no room in your house is too good for your children, so all the rooms of all the palaces of the heavenly Jerusalem will be free to God’s children, and even the throne room will not be denied, and you may run up the steps of the thyoue, and put your hand on the side of the throne, and sit down by the King according to the promise: “To him that oyereometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne.” But you cannot go in except as conquerors. Many years ago the Turks and Christians were in battle, and the Christians were defeated, and with

their commander Stephen fled toward a fortress where the mother of this commander was staying1. When she saw her son and his army in disgraceful retreat she had the gates of the fortress rolled shut, and then from the top of the battlement cried out to her son: “You can not enter here except as com queror!” Then Stephen rallied his forces and resumed the battle and gained the day, twenty thousand driving back two hundred thousand. For those who are defeated in battle with sin and death and hell, nothing but shame and contempt; but for those who gain the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ the gates of the New Jerusalem will hoist, and there shall be annbundant entrance into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord, toward which you do well to keep your w indows open. —Some person with a lively imagination inquires: “Suppose people should preach what they practice.”—Standard.

THE SUGAR BOUNTY CASE. rhe AdverM Decision of Comptroller flow* l«r May Lnd to Sarloas Development*— litre thal>«el»rttliHiia( • Nttiontl Polities! Platform all the llludluc Puree of a Sapr«ut Coart Decision? Chicago, Sept. ?.—A special to an evening paper from Washington says: The decision of Comptroller Bowler in the sugar bounty cases is expected to lead to some very interesting development in the near future While there is little interest in the matter of the sugar planters getting or not getting the $5,000,000 promised to them, there is & great ileal in the question of whether an officer appointed by the president in the executive branch of the government can assume the highest functions of the judicial branch, and whether the declaration of a democratic national convention that protection through the : tariff and bounties is unconstitutional, ; has all the force of a decision of the j supreme court in controlling the action of the executive department. The decision of Mr. Bowler, is regarded as a political move, whi£ff, j while it may lose Louisiana to the • democrats, is intended to give tlie 1 color of judicial sauction to the demo- j eratic platform declaration that-^all forms of bounty are unconstitutional. I The new republican congress will probably care very little about the in-, dividual interests of the Louisiana planters, but they will not be apt to pass without notice this attack upon the protective tariff policy. It is regarded us almost certain to result in a congressional investigation, and it is expected that articles of impeachment against Mr. Bowler may be introduced. If the planters can carry tlfeir case to the supreme court, it will probably result disastrously to the democratic platform declarations. Aauajorityof the supreme court believe in the interpretation put upon the constitution by the republicans, and they would probably not let the opportunity go by to have a decision by the highest tribunal on this question, which was raised squarely for the first, time by the last democratic national convention, though it might ii|>t be necessary to a decision of the case involving

the question of the comptrollers authority that the constitutional status of bounties should be discussed. The political phase of the mere question, of paving1 the planters’ claims is greatly mixed. It is believed, however, that in the next election Louisiana will be lost to the democrats, both on the presidential and the congressional ticket. It is possible that Louisiana may figure prominently' in the settlement of the presidential contest of as it did twenty years before. J THE COWARDLY DONS Claim to Have Iteen IDght In the Allianca Affair ami Yet Apologised. Madrid, Sept. 7.—Count liobkbirk, the Frenchman who was on board the American steamer Allianca at the time she was fired on by a Spanish war ship off the coast of ..Cuba, in an interview yesterday said that the Allianca was so close to the shore that lie could see the inhabitants clearly. When Capt. Grossman, the master of the Allianca, saw the Conde de Venadito, the war ship which fired on the American vessel, he was enraged, because lie knew he would not be able to land the arms he hall aboard the vessel, lie exclaimed: “I will kick up a nice row when I reach the United States.” Senor Muruago, formerly Spanish minister to the United States, has written to the paper stating that he resigned because lie had proven that the»Conde de Venadito was right in firing on the Allianca. lie could not consent that Spain should give humiliations to the Uojited States for an incident iu which the United States was in fault. Moreover, it is known in the United States that Capt. Crossman smuggled arms to the rebels in Urazil during the civil war in tiiat country and that he now carries or. a brisk trade smuggling arms to the insurgents iu Cuba. Senor Muruago said that he had statements of witnesses that the Alli?,nca carried contraband of war and hat she was only a mile and a half from 0tlie Cuban coast when the warship hailed her. lie sent these statements and a full report of the ocpnreuce to the Madrid government, but they concealed them. The Spanish press is indignant over these revelations, and violently attacks the United States and the Spanish government. The newspapers declare that the action Of the United States in sending an ultimatum was a gross abuse of strength, seeing Spain’s difficulty at the time.

THE CHENG TU RIOTS To be Investigated by the Ignited States government. Washington, Sept. 7.—The Jnited States government has Redded to enter forthwith upon an independent investigation of the Cheng Tu riots with the co-operation of a Chinese representative. There are also unde rstood to be several reasons why the state department has decided upon an investigation such as France has already made and such as England will make later. The department is not 3 et prepared to make these public, '..'he investigation is expected to be made by some official now on the Chinese coast It will probably take a month to reach j Cheng Tu. which is the capital of the interior province of Szechuan. A REGULAR BUM. The Intended to Destroy th s Roths, childs’ llsuk whs Non-Explof he. Varis, Sept. 7.—The boml found npuu the man arrested Thursday in the bank of Messrs. Rothschild in the Rue ijatitte, was opened by experts yesterday. It was found to contain a mixture of chlorate of potash and ordinary gunpowder, which, the experts declare, would not have exploded even I had it come in contact with a lighted luse. There were no projectile s in the “bomb,” which was one of the rankest I fakes imaginable.

DEEP WATER-WAYS. Wwkltb to tho Western Farmer b Af aured by Its Completion. For many years the work of creating' deep channels between Lakes Superior, Huron, Michigan and Erie has been going on. At length the work is done, or under contract to complete, so that from all the lakes twenty-foot channels may practically be said to exist. With the completion of the inter-lake channels, all the immense and rapidly increasing navigation converges to the common eastern terminus at Buffalo. The existence of the great lakes has made possible the so-called northwest, since it has permitted the products of the northwest to reach markets at a much lower figure than has been possible by all rail, o From Duluth to Buffalo, eleven hundred miles, it costs about one-third as much as it costs to transship and transport across New York state. Increasing competition from those countries of the world possessing cheap land ajgd cheap labor makes it imperative on the producers, the farmers of the northwest, to search out, if possible, some way, of getting their ^ crops to the eastern markets at a lower rate than they have been getting. To every producer in the northwest it will be of interest to know that on September 34-*26 there will be a convention held in the city of Cleveland for the purpose of developing in a largo way the facts relating to this deep water navigation from Buffalo eastward. With a view to decreasing the cost, it is necessary to use the* existing lakes and riTer, with supplementary canals, and to reduce the cost from. Buffalo east in some such ratio as lias been secured in the upper lakes. An. eminent engineer, C. N, Dutton, who fins given the matters great deal of study, lias prepared the following statements and figures, which I beg to present, without comment, simply asking that they be read aud thought on: . "Sixteen great states, namely. Ohio. Indi- ^ ana. Illinois. Kentucky, Michigan, Wisconsin. Minnesota. Iowa. Missouri, North Dakota, south Dakota. Nebraska. Kansas. Montana, Wyoming and Colorado, must ship their surplus agricultural product* from the great takes to tho seaboard. Deep-water navigation would elTect an immodiate reduction in freight costs, and consequent increase in crop values of an average Of live cents a bushel on grain and potatoes, four dollars a ton on hay and tivo dollars and upwards a ton on straw. "In tho sixteen states most beaei^od. yto Street money gain, computed on the ci p reports of 18C5, will be as follows: ‘ TEARLT UA1N.

It should I also be remembered that the enormous ! cash balance annually required abroad ! to settle the foreign exchange must be | provided in the main by the western and southwestern farms or by gold. The pressure is urgent. The navigation cannot be provided soon enough if commenced now. The convention at Cleveland will be marked by the presence of many specialists with specially prepared papers covering a wide range of public matters As chairman of the executive committee, I rcspee-tfully request correspondence with commercial bodies, public officials and the papers, *4f in any way it may lead to fuller information and a quickened interest. In particular, I desire assurances of supt»ort which can be shown at the proper time as evidence of popular sentiment. Address. A. L. Crocker, Minneapolis Hoard of Trade.
