Louis, March 5.—Most Ber. Peter N chard Kenrick, archbishop of the diocese of St Louis for so manyr years, and for the last few months of his deal iniag years archbishop of Marcimn*]tolls, died yesterday at his home on lindell avenue. The exaci; hour when 'the lamp of life in one of America's greatest and most-venerable prelates became extinct was 1:35 p. m. The «tid was calm and peaceful as an intent’s slumber. The only persons in the archbishop's bid room at the time of his death gw ere Tom Franklin, his teithful neservant, and Hattie Mullarkey, -one of the housemaids. About 12:3€ Tom prepared a hot toddy ter the archbishop, who complained of feeling cold. After talcing the toddy the archbishop thanked Tom with a otaile, saying that he hoped he would •Con get well again. The archbishop

Tom sat ; f.t»y his side for nearly an hour watchting the impassire features of his masfiler in, silence. Shortly before f:30 o'clock the archbishop opened his eyes and half-uneonsciously pave a slight ? shudder. Tom asked him if he did not f«sel cold. Archbishop Kenrick replied , . j iliat the room could be a little warmer. To*n asked if he should go do down and fix the furnace, to which. Archj b.shop Kenrick answered: “Yes, Tom. 1 could stand a little j more warmth." | Torn went downstairs, as he was bid. On passing through the liuen r\>om he i met Hattie Mullarkey. the housemaid. He told the maid that there|was some ••idled! linen in ArehbishopfKenriek’s room. Hattie went to the room to get the clothes. When she entered the archbishop was in the same position Twn had left him. He was reelining on the bed, his bead resting on a high pillow. The wonsan noticed that not a jruscle of the archbishop moved, and fOAi bis’ countenance was more pallid *iha» usual. She spoke to him, hut, vceeiying no reply, left the room. On ►her {way downstairs she met Tom *roraing up. and told him that she tfWmjgbt Archbishop Kenrick was •Jykf. The two hastened to the room, ►ahote the suspicion of the woman wa-> Oon firmed. Archbishop Kenrick was passing •way. His arms were crossed on his breast, and. as he lay there, with his lips half parted, and a simile oa his face, the two servants paused in awe. For a moment only they stood, ami then tiptoed to the 1 bedside. In a falitering voice Tom • spoke to the dying man. but received m> reply. lie took hold of the archa'shopK hand. It was almost rigid and fast growing, cold. * He felt the poise of the archbishop. It was hardly perceptible and beating slower and - slower with every fleeting moment. The faithful servant again spoke to jM his master. Ne reply came from the lips which were sealed forever. The end was near, and side by side the two homble attendants stood awaiting the severance of the last thread of life. •When the end came it was like the ►passing of the day. Outwardly there was hardly a sign that a noble soul was winging its flight. The archbishop • died with a smile on his face. Not a gasp or a' twitching of a muscle dis-: turhed his peaceful end. Tom. the { negro servant, held the hand of the » dying man. and when he felt the pulse had stopped beating he put the back of his hand to the face of the archbishop li was as cold as marble. Torn turned . • te the woman at his aide, and with tears in his eyes told her the archbishop was • dead. He hastened from the room, and returning with a sponge applied it to the face of the archbishop. I lumediately after wiping the death damp from the brow he notified the boose- . bold «i Archbishop Kenrick’s death.

Daring his stay in Borne he met Bishop Boast tl of St- Louis, who became very favorably impressed with him. and being desirous of sucuring a coadjutor, be asked and received of Die fy>ly see a decree appointing Father Kenriek his coadjutor. The bishop and his newly-appointed coadjutor left for Ainerica together, arriving in Boston November 18. Twelve days later he was conse- j crated bv Bishop Bosatti as titular bishop of j Drasa and coadjutor to the bishop of St. Louis. auuval nt sr. bocxa He reached St. Louts the latter part of December. He at once took charge as administrator of the diocese. Bishop Bosatti being still absent. Upon the death of Bishop Bosatti, September 85,18#8, Bishop Kenriek succeeded to the episcopacy. When he began bis administratfcm St. Loots was s town of about 30.000 inhabitants. There were only two Catholic churches here, the cathedral, which was built In 1884. and a lntle ehnpel built by the Jesuits at Ninth street and Washington avenue. The cathedral was, heavily encumbered with debt, but by his untiring efforts, finally succeeded in ! paying every dollardue. For a cumber of years Bishop Kenriek in- i vested largely in real estate, aftet built large > blocks of stores and dwellings, the rental of [ which went to the support of the orphans, the ! erection of new charities and other diocese j needs. In 1858 he purchased the Clay farm. ; half of which was ooaverted into Calvary cem- j etery. He was enabled to make such pur- | chases through the munificence of the Mul- ' lanpby family, the bequests from other bener- J olent Catholics and the fact that many mem- | bers of his flock deposited their money tu hi* | hands for safe-keeping. In l^Tl and 1988 h« j disposed of the greater part of the property of j the diocese, in order to cancel the Churcl } debt.

The early rear* of Arrhbshop kenrick'# •piscopate were fraught with a great deal o» j labor. The diocese was a little lancer than the present archdiocese, including the whole ct Missouri and Arkansas and the western half of Illinois. His duties in the line o* visiting every church inLdbe diocese at certain intervals were especially severe and dangcAius. la 1MT St. Louts was made an archdiocese and Bishop Kenrtck was elected to the archbishopric. Chi Sunday, '-eptember 3. 1848.die received the pallium. from the bands of his right reverend brother in St. Mary's church. Philadelphia. The frst priest ordained by Archbishop Kenrick in the diocese was Rev. James TiOrman. the ceremony taking place May 30. 1842. In August. ISO. the archbishop called a diocesan synod. For a short time during the fall of that year h* taught the class of dogmatic theology in the diocesan seminlry. then located in Carondeiet. In Maxi 18S3. he attended the ttrst plenary council, a* Baltimore. The death of the archbishop's brother in July. 1863. was a severe blow to him. In 1802 the archbishop published a work on “Sacred Cosmogony." Archbishop's Kenrick's silver Jubilee ikyuwed on November 30,1888. but owing to the fact that .he was known to be averse to any public display, there was only a partial celebration of his anniversary. In 1867 he stent to Some to unite with the Catholic episcopacy of the world in celebration of the eighteen hundredth anniversary of the martyrdom rf St. 1 Peter He remained awajKfor more than a year, and on his return there was a magnificent demonstration in his honor. The archbishop paid another visit to Rome in the fail of !$8P, for the purpose of attending the Vatican'council. convoked by the sovereign pontiff Pius IX. which met December 8 of that year The council was one of the largest ever held, c.insisting of nearly 900 bishops. The main, quest- j tlons before the body were the truth of the doctrine of papal Infallibility and the opportuneness of declaring the same an article of faith. Archbishop Ksttrlck was opposed to the declaration of this doctrine, and be hgd on his aide many distinguished ecclesiastic*. The j council, however, passed upon the question adversely to his views, and he submitted his Judgment to the teachings of the council and the church. first coanjcrtvR appointed Archbishop Kenrick returned to St. Louis in the spring of 187inn the apring of 1872 he received a coadjutor in the person of Rev. P. J. Ryan, then pastor of St. John s church and vicar-general of the diocese. Bishop Ryan retained that position fer 12 years, when he was j' appointed archbishop of Philadelphia. Af>r the departure of Bishop Ryan Archbishop Kenrick did not ask for a coadjutor, but agtdn resumed his episcopal duties with a great deal j of vigor. Probably the non interesting event in Ar.‘bbishop Kenrick's long and useful career was the celebration of the fiftieth jpniversaiy. or golden jubilee, of his consecration as a bishop, j This celebration occurred on Monday. Xoveia- ! ber »». !8»l. and was continued for several dajrs. being one of the grandest and most impressive events in the ecclesiastical history of the country in recent years. The service*, which were held; in the «*ld cathedral on Walnut street. were attended by distinguished prelates from all parts of the country, and 1 the occasion was one long to be remembered. Solemn pontifical high mass was celebrated in the "mornfug. Cardinal Gibbous being the celebrant. In s the afternoon a banquet was given at the Lindell hotel, and at night there was a beautiful j torchlight nrocesaioa. On Tuesday. December 1. there was a demonstration by the Oathoiie children at grand music hall in the morning, and a grand choral concert at the same place la the evening, including addresses by many prominent personages. On the following day and evening a number of feeeptkws were tendered Archbishop Kenrick sad the visiting ecclesiastics CU'SI*i DAVP After the golden jubilee celebration the archbishop began to decline in bodily strength and mental vigor, gradually growing wrakei and weaker, until it was found that be was no longer able to perform the ardemos duties attendant upon the archbishopricalooe. In the winter of t8B£-PdS and the following j summer there wad a great deal of agitation among the priests looking to the appointment of a coadja’nr t» Archbishop Kenrick. This trouble was finally settled by the appointment, In Pie fall of 1883. a# Bishop John J. Kain of Wheeling. W.

TALMAGE’S SERMON. A Patriotic Sermon Based Upon “America for God.” America the Hope of the Christian World —Armed with the Spirit of Christ This Country Is Invincl- « hie for God. .

Her. T. DeWitt Talma ge preached the following' patriotic sermon before his Washington congregation, taking for his text: Aad I beheld another beast coming op out of the earth: and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.—Revelation xilL, II. Is America mentioned in the Bibip? Learned and consecrated men who hare studied the inspired books of Daniel and David more than 1 have and understand them better agree insaying that the leopard mentioned in the Bible meant Gredia, and the bear ineant Medo-Persia, sfnd the lion meant Babylon, and the b/astof the text com* ing up out of earth with two horns like a lamb, and the Voice of a dfagoa means our country, because among other reasons it seemed to come up out of the earth when Columbus discovered it, and it has been for the most part at peace like a lamb, unless assaulted by foreign foe, in which case it has had two horns strong and sharp, and the voice of a dragon loud enough to make all nations hear the roar of its indignation, Is it reasonable to suppose that God would leave out from the prophecies of His book this whole western hemisphere? Xo, no. "I beheld, another beast goming upout of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.” Germany for scholarship. England for manufactories. France for manners. Egypt for antiques. Italy for pictures. But America for God! I start with the cheering thought that the most popular book on earth to-day is the Bible, the most popular institution on earth to-day is the chureh, and the most popular name on earth to-day is Jesus. Right from this audience hundreds of men and women would, if need be, march out and die for Him. Am 1 too confident in saying “America for God?” If the Lord will help me, I will show the strength and extent of the long line of fortresses to be taken, and give you 'toy reasons for saying it can be done and will be done. Let us decide, in this battle for God, whether we are at Bull Run or at Gettysburg. There is a Fourth of Julyism way of bragging about this country. and the most tired and plucked bird that ever flew through the heavens is the American eagle, so much so that Mr. Gladstone said to me facetiously, at Ha warden: “1 hear that the fish iu your American lakes are so large that when one of them is taken out the entire lake is perceptibly lowered,” and at a dinner given in Paris an American offered for a sentiment; “Here-is to the United States— bounded on the north by the aurof-a borealis, on the south by the procession of the equinoxes, on the east by primeval choas. and on the. west by the day of judgement." The effect of sueh grandiloquence is to discredit the real facts which are so treiqendous they need no garnishing. The worst thing to db in any campaign, military or religions, is to underestimate an enemy, and I will have no part in sueh attempt at belittlement. This land to be taken for God, according to Hassel, the statistician, has 14.219.SIK7 square miles, a width and a length that none but the omniscient can appreciate. Four Kuropes put together. aad capable of holding and feeding, as it will hold and feed, according to Atkinson, the statistician, if the world continues in existence and does not run afoul of some other world or get consumed by the Hires8 already burning in the cellars of the planet—capable, 1 say. of holding and feeding more than »ne 1 billion of inhabitants. For you must rembeaaber it must be held for I God as well as taken for God. and the last ruD.OOO.Wb inhabitants must not be allowed to swamp the religion of the 1 first 500,000,fl8»X Xot much sse in taking the fortress if we can not hold it. , Iv must be held until the archangel's trampet bids, living and (&ad arise frsrn this foundering planet

Tou must remember tnat * is oniy alout seven o'clock in the taprning of ouv nation’s life- Great cdies are to fiamh and roaramcmg what are called the “Bad Lands” of the Dakotas and j th* great "Columbia plains.' of Washington state, and that on which we I put our schocJboy fingers oa the map ' and spelled out as the “Great Americas desert” us. through systematic and consummating irrigation, to bloom like Chats worth park, and be made more produc-trve than tlawe region* dependent uyen uncertain and spasmodic rainfall. All these regions, as. those regions akeeady cultimated, to b*. inhabited! Hiat was a sublime thing said by Itenry Clajr while crossing the Allegheny mountains. and he was waiting for the stage horses "to be rested, as he stood «n a rock, arms folded, lacking off mto the valley, and some one said to him: “Mr. Clay what are yob thinking about?” He replied: "l am listening to the oncoming tramp of the future generation of America.” Have 300 laid oar home missionary scheme on sueh: an infinitude of scale? If the work of bringing one soat to God is so great, can l,OOCM«iMW> be captured? la this country, already planted and to be overcome, paganism has built its altar to Brahma, and the Chtnene are already burning incense in their temples. and i Mohammedanism, drnpk in other days with the rod winer of human blood at Lucknow and Cawnpore. and now fresh from the diabolism in Armenia. is trying to get a foothold here, and from the minarets of her mosques will yet mumble her blasphemies, saying: "God is great, and Mohammed is His prophet.” Then there are the raster multitudes with no religion at all. They worship no God they lino with

no consolation, and they die with no hope. No star of peace points down to the manger in which they are born, and no prayer is ottered over the grave -into which they sink. Then there is is alcoholism, ita piled op demijohns and beer barrels, and hogsheads of fiery death, a barricade high and long as the Alleghenies and Rockies and Sierra Nevadas, pouring forth day and night their ammunition of wretchedness and woe. When a German wants to take a drink, he takes beer. When an Englishman Wants to j take a drink, he takes ale. When a Scotchman wants to take a drink, he i takes whisky. But when an Ameri* j can wants to take a drink, he takes anything he can lay his hands on. Plenty of statistics tell how mnch money is spent in this country for rum, and how many drunkards die! But who will give us the statistics of how iqany hearts are crashed under the heei^ of this worst demon of the centuries? j

now raan^ tiopes Dmsxea/ now many children turned out on the world, taccursed with the stigma of a debauched ancestry? Until the worm of the distillery becomes the worm that never dies, and the smoke of t he heated wine vats becomes the smoke of the torment that ascendeth up forever and ever! Alcoholism, swearing—-not with hand unplifted toward Heaven, for from that direction it cau get no help, but with right hand stretched down toward the perdition from which it came up—swearing that it will not cease as long as th< re are any homesteads to despoil, any magnificent men and wometi to destroy, any immortal soul& to dar in, any more nations to balk, any more civilizations to extinguish. Then there Is what in America We call socialism, in France eoramuni ,m. and ia Russia nihilism—the three names for the same thing—and hav.ng but two doctrines in its creed: (1) There is no God: (2) there shall bt no rights of property. One of their chief journals printed the sentiment: “Eynamite can be made out of the dead bodies of capitalists well as ou; of hogs.'’ One of the leaders of communism left. inscribed on his prison where he had been jrstly incarcerated,, these words: “When once you are dead, there is an end of everything; therefore, ye scoundrels, grab whatever you c: n— only don't let yourselves be grab >ed. Amen!” There are in this coun try hundreds of thousands of the azy scoundrels. Honest men. deplore it when they can not get work, but tl ose of whom I speak will not do w ork when they can get it. I tried to employ one who asked me for money. I sdid: “'Down in my cellar I have some wood to saw, and I will .pay you for it.” Fora little while I heard the saw going, and then I he ard it no more. I went downstairs, and found the wood, but' the workmen had disappeared, taking for company both buck and saw. Socialism, communism and nan ism mean. “Too wicked to acknowledge God. and too lazy to earn a llvi ig,” and among the mightiest obstacle» to be overcome are those organized elements of domestic, social auei political ruin. There are also the fastnesses of infidelity. aud atheism, and fraud, and political corruption, anti multiform, hydra-headed, million-armed abon inations all over the land. While' the mightiest agencies for righteous ness on earth are gooei and healthful newspapers and good and healthful books, and our chief dependence for intelligence and Christian achievement » among them, what .rord among the more than one | hunured thousands words in our vocabulary can describe the work of that arehangd of mischief, a corrupt i;i ierature? What man. attempting anything for God awl humanity, has escaped a stroke of filthy wing? What good cause has escaped its hindersnent? What other obstacle in all the land so appalling?

The very things that have be®n quoted as perils to this nation are going to help its salvation. Great cities, so often mentioned as great obstacles—the center of crime and the reservoirs of all iniquities—are to lead in the work of Gospeluation. Who give most to home missions,- to asylums, to religious education, to all styles of humanitarian and Christian institutions? The cities. From what places did the most relief go at the time of Johnstown flood, and Michigan fires, and Charleston earthquake, and Ohio freshets? From the cities. From what place did Christ send out His twelve apostles to Gospel ire the world? From a city. What place will do more than any other place, by its contibut ion of Christian men and women and means, in this work of taking A merica for God? New York city. The way Paris goes, goes France. The way Berlin goes, Germany. , The way Edinburgh goes, goes Scotland. The way London goes, goes England. The way New York and a couple other cities go, goes America. May the eternal God wake us up to the stupendous issue!

Another thing quoted pessimistically is the vast and overtopping fortunes in this country, and they say it means concentrated wealth, and luxurious* ness, and display, and moral ruin. It is- my observation that it-is thepeople who have but limited resources who make the m6st splurge, and I ask you. Who are endowing colleges and theological seminaries? Did yon ever hear of Peter Cooper, and James Lonox, and sainted William E. Dodge, and the Lawrences, Amos and Abbott, while I refrain from mentioning living benefactors who, quite as generous and Christian, are in this assembly, at this moment planning what they can do in these days, and in their last will and testament in this campaign that proposes taking America for (Sod? The widow's mite, honored of the Lord, is to have its part in this continental capture; but we must have more than that, and more right away. ManyOwfe the men that expeet to get the blessing for bestowing the widow's mite will not get the blessing. In the first place, the}' are not widows, and in the next place, they have no “might.” Another thing quoted for discouragement, but which I quote for encouragement, is foreign immigration— now that from Castle Garden we turn back by the first poor ship the foreign vagaboudisa*—we are getting people, the vast majority of whom come to make an honest living: among them some of the bravest and the best. If you should turn back from this land to Europe the foreign piinisters of the Gospel, and the foreign attorneys, and the foreign merchants, and the foreign philanthropists, whatu robbery of our pulpits, sail court rooms, our store houses, and our beneficent institutions, aud what a putting back of every monetary, merciful, moral and religious interest of the laud! This comi mingling here of ail najionafties under the blessing of God will produce in seventy-five or one hundred years the most magnificent style of man and women the world ever saw. They will have the wit.of one race, the* eloquence of another race, the kindness of another, the generosity of another, the aesthetic taste of another, and when that man * and woman step forth, their brain and nerve and muscle an intertwining of the fibers of all nationalities, noth

iug but tne new electric photographic apparatus, that can sec clear through body, mind and soul, can take of them an adequate picture. But the foreign population of America is legs than 11 per cent, of all our population, and why all thi%fuss about foreign immigration? Eighty-nine born Americans to 11 foreigners! If $» of us New Jerseymen, er 89'of us Ohioan, or Yorkers, or 89 of us Georgians, or 89 of us Yankees are not equal to 11 foreigners, then we are a starveling, lilliputian group of humunculi that ought to be wiped out of existence. On oar side, the great and mighty theologians of the land, the heavy artillery. and the hundred^ of thousands ’of Christian children, the infantry. They are marching on! Episcopacy, with the sublime roU'of its liturgies; Methodism, with its battle ery of “The sword of the Lord and John Wesley the Baptist church, with its glorious navy sailing up our Oregons and Saeranaentns and Mississippi: and Presbyterianism. moving on with the baV tie cry of “The sword of the Lord and John Knox.” And then, after awhile, will come the great tides of revival, sweeping over the land, the 500,000 conversions in 1557 'eclipsed by the salvataon of millions in a day, and the four American armies of the Lord's host marching toward each other, the eastern army marching west, the western army marching east, the northern army marching south, the southern army marching north; shoulder to shoulder! Tramp! Tramp! Tramp! Until th^y meet midcontinent, having taken America for God! The thunder of the bombardment is already In the air, and when the last bridge of opposition is taken, and the last portcullis of Satan is lifted, and the last gun spiked, and the last tower dismantled, and the last charger of iniquity shall have been hurled back upon its haunches, what a time of rejoicing! We will see it, not with these eves, which before that will be closed in blessed sleep, but with strong and better vision, when the Lord once in awhile gives us a vacation among the doicologies to come, down and see the dear old land which I pray may always be the lamb of the text, mild and peaceful, inoffensive, but in case foreign nations assail it, having two horns of army and nary strong enough to hook them back and hook them down, and a voice louder than a dragon, yea, louder than 10,000 thunders, saying to the billows of Asiatic superstition and European arrogance: “Thus far shalt thou go, and no farther, and here shall thy proud waves be stayed!*5_ uYoc told ire you and Harry loved at sight.” ‘Yes, but we quarreled on sequoia

DQMiUJ) KENNEDY, of BOXBURY, BASS., Has discovered in one of our common \ pasture weeds a remedy that cures ev«y kind of Humor, from the worst Scrofula down to a common Pimple. He has tried it in over eleven hundred cases, and never failed except in two cases j (both thunder humor.) He has now in his | possession over two hundred certificates ' of its value, all within twenty miles of 1 Boston, Send postal card for book. A benefit is always experienced from the first bottle, and a perfect cure is warranted when the right quantity is taken. When the lungs are affected it causes shooting pains, like needles passing through them; the same with the Liver or | Bowels. This is caused by the ducts, be- [ ing stopped, and always disappears in a ; week after taking it. Pead the label, i If the stomach is foul or bilious it wiu cause squeamish feelings at first.
