THE REPUBLICAN. George E. Marshall, Editor. HENSSELAER INDIANA

Two live du»es and a blazing rajah ‘litre excited auglo-maniacs and worshippers of rank in N«w York to a Aiph degree of exhilaration. Chicago continues' to furnish the tnest sensational instances of criminal enterprise to be found in the United States, if not in the world. The furniture of a six-room flat was surreptitiously carted off the other day in that city and no trace was left behind. A Duluth* judge has a novelty at his bar in the person of his own wife, recently ad mi tied to practice. He Is the only man in the*United States who can get the last word with his wife in a dispute, and her “contempt” would lead to disastrous re •ults if exhibited in the court room. Steam power at Buffalo, Rochester and other towns in the vicinity of Niagara Falls costs from 135 to 140 per horse-power per year of ten hour days, while it is estimated that the new electric, plant at the Falls will furnish the power for about sls per horse-power per year ot twentyfour hour days. —— A Boston boy who has been arrested for numberless incendiary fires, some of which resulted in loss of life, confessed and declared that he was impelled thereto by an “irresistible impulse.” If the law does aot evince an irresistible impulse to throttle the young villain then justice will fail.

New York aldermen receive a salary cl $2,000 a year and are clamoring for a raise to $3,000. It is aleged that the city would be the gainer bj- granting the advance and cutting off all “perquisites" now received by these officials. “Perquisites,” in New York, like charity, “covers a multitude of sins.” An enterprising actress who rerently devised an extra leg to add to the effectiveness of her stage makeup has been outdone by a dansuese who appears in a unique dance with four apparently perfectly developed limbs which she agitates with astonishing dexterity. Actress No. 1 has brought suit for infringement of her rights, having patented the original idea of an extra pedal extremity for stage purposes. If your uncle has an aunt who has a nephew whose wife has a cousin that is married to an old friend of your wife’s sister, whose grandfather used to live in the same town with an old schoolmate of yours, whose son-in-law is now living in Chicago, you should at once renew the acquaintance with a view of saving hotel bills while attending the World’s Fair. This scheme can be worked successfully in many instances.. - ------ -™

The work of preparing for war in "the time of peace goes bravely on at Birdsboro, Pa. The Brown segmental, wire-wound gun was tested April 15, in the presence of government experts, representatives of foreign powers and a number of invited guests from New York, Philadelphia and other cities. The test broke all records, and shows Uncle Sam to be at the head of the procession in gun making. The new piece stood a pressure that would have blown any other gun to atoms.

England and Italy have been supposed to be the only countries in the world able to boast of statesmen who liave passed the scriptural limit of human activity and yet remain prominent factors in the affairs of government. Pope Leo XIII and Gladstone have served as examples of “Grand Old Men,” to such an extent that it has been forgotten that the United States can also furnish an example in the person of Senator Morrill, who is past eighty-three, and in full possession of his mental and bodily vigor. London dudes and their feeble imitators on this side of the water, are sadly agitated over the question: Ought a man to wear “sprats." 4 'Sprats” are overgaiters. Some well-dressed mep persist in wearing them, though objection is made that they have descended in the social •cale. Another problem which is worrying the imbecile brains of these effeminate creatures is whether frock coats should be worn buttoned or unbuttoned. London talent has decided that they may be worn unbuttoned and our anglo-maniacs will doubtless fall into line ere long. Red ties are popular in Piccadilly, are coming into favor rapidly <en Fifth avenue. In the meantime ■our readers will find more useful o -

cttpfttkm in getting in a Mg area of corn and m keeping posted on the price of hogs. A tender conscience is a moral attribute that is generally considered creditable to the possessor who puts his inner promptings into actual practice in the transactions of life, but an acute sensibility in that direction, such as is said to be the rule with a citizen of Wilmington, Del., would be very inconvenient in —Chicago for instance. This excessively honest mortal, after pondering the matter for many years, laid a note containing $5 on the doorstep of a- prosperous citizen, explaining that his mother had owed the the recipient’s grandfather, who died in 1839, $5 for the rent of a house, and that he felt in honor -bound" to pay the same, which he accordingly inclosed. . A distinguished French scientist has startled the medical world with an assertion, the truth of which, if established, will give rise to many uncomfortable situations and awkward dilemmas. The alleged statement has been made by this authority that the electric shock, which is the legal mode of executioijj# New York, does not kill, but that in all cases the death sentence has been carried out by the knives of the surgeons at the autopsy. He insists that the electric current simply brings about apparent death, and that the subject may be revived by artificial means. He dares the surgeons to experiment at resuscitating the criminal. The statement has created an extraordinary sensation, and is given credence by many medical authorities.

People who are capable of sincere sympathy for the hardships that are endured by impecunious sprigs of nobility who happen to have been born after their older brothers, will be glad to know that Queen Victoria has given practical evidence of having a mind with similar proclivities by appointing young Lord Granville as one of her lords in waiting—whatever that may be —with a salary of $4,000 a year, the duties of the position being so light as to occupy but four weeks’ residence at court. It is stated that the only money that this fortunate young man received from his father’s estate as a permanent inheritance was a half-crown piece, which he inadvertantly swallowed while performing some amateur sleight-of-hand tricks while a boy of fifteen, and which has remained within his noble interior in spite of the efforts of eminent specialists to rescue this coin ot the realm for the legal heir that has succeeded to the earldom by the law of entail.

President Cleveland is still said to express his disapproval of nepotism on the part of officials of all ranks, and it is believed that were he to fully carry out his own ideas, he would order from the public crib every son, nephew, or other relative of any degree of consanguinity, who has thereby secured position through the favor of prominent heads of departments or bureaus. When the sons and relatives of the various secretaries began to flock to Washington, Mr. Cleveland, to a certain extent, stopped the movement by giving the country his views on the matter in an emphatic manner, taking the occasion to say that the administration was opposed to anything of the kind, and that his own relatives were barred by the same principle which he sought to impress upon his subordinates. Secretary Carlisle, however, has placed his son in office and there have been other transgressions of the unwritten law that has been laid down. What course the President may take to give effect to his conscientious views on the subject remains to be £een.

A Queer Industry.

St. Louis Globe-Democrat. “There are all kinds of people in this world and it takes all to make life bearable,” is the meaning of a good old proverb, said John F. Teuton, who is at the Laclede. “If there are all kinds of people there are all kinds of ways of making a living, and some of them are a little out of the commonplace. Your own State of Missouri furnishes one of the striking examples of a queer profitable industry, namely, that of a bogus money manufactory licensed by the Government. This printing establishment and stamping concern is located in Van Buren, Mo., and is doing an excellent business. The bogus money turned out is Confederate money that now stands for nothing and so does no harm. That enough of such stuff could be sold to make the printing Df it profitable seems wonderful, and yet such is the case. Lynn, Mass., has a bargain goods factory, which turns out cheap goods of excellent appearance for the bargain counters. The American bargain-seeker has called for such things, and now if shams are made to deceive him he must not grumble. There are sixteen of such bargain goods manufactories and the bargain goods era is just now at its zenith.”

HIS WITNESSES.

Miraculous Testimony to the Truth of the Gospel. “Christ Came WhoT Is Orer AU”—Dr. Talmage's Sermon. Rev. Dr. Talmage preached at Brooklyn .last Sunday. Subject:' “Over Alt Forever.” Text: Romans ix, s—“ Christ5 —“Christ came who is over all. ” For 4,000 years the world had been waiting for a deliverer—waiting while empires rose and fell. Conquerors came and made the world worse instead of making it better; still the centuries watchS and waited. They looked for him on thrones, looked for him in palaces, looked for him in imperial robes, looked for him at the head of armies At last they found him in a barn. The cattle stood nearer to him than the angels, for the former were in the adjoining stall while the latter were in the

clouds. A parentage of peasantry. No room for him in the inn, because there was no one to pay the hotel expense. Yet the pointing star and the angelic cantata showed that heaven made up in appreciation of his worth what the world lacked. “Christ came, who is over all, God blessed forever. Amen.” I suppose that the majority of those here to-day assembled believe the Bible. It requires as much faith to be an infidel as to be a Christian. It is faith in a different direction. The Christian has faith in the teachings ol Matthew, Luke, John, Paul, Isaiah, Moses. The infidel has faith in the free thinkers. W 6 have faith in one class of men. They have faith in another class of men. But as the majority of those—perhaps all of those here assembled—are willing to take take the Bible for a standard in morals and in faith I make this book my starting point. _ I suppose you are aware that the

two generals who have marshaled the great armies against the deity of Jesus Christ are Strauss and Renan. The number of their slain will not be counted until the trumpet of the archangel sounds the roll-call of the resurrection. These men and their sympathizers saw that if they eonld destroy the fortress of the miracles they could destroy Christianity, and they were right. Surrender the miracles, and you surrender Christianity. The great German exegete says thatall the miracles were myths. The great French exegete says that all the miracles were legends. They propose to take everything super- ! natural from the life of Christ and everything supernatural from the Bible. They prefer the miracles of human nonsense to the glorious miracles of Jesus Christ. Now, I take back the limited statement which I made a few moments ago, when I said it requires as much ; faith to be an infidel as to be a Christ- ; ian. It requires a thousandfold more faisi to be an infidel than to be a Christian, for if Christianity demand that the whale swallow JoDah, then skepticism demands that Johah : swallowed the whale. I can prove to you that Christ was God not only by the supernatural appearances on that Christmas night, but by what inspired men said of him, by what he says of himself and by his wonderful achievements. “Christ came, , who is over all.” Ah, does not that | prove too much? Not over the Caesars, not over Alexander the Great, not over the Henrys, not over the Louises. Yes. Pile the thrones of all the ages together, and my text overspans them as easily as a rainbow overspans a mountain' 1 ” top. Christ came who is over all. Then he must be a God. Philosophers say that the law of gravitation decides everything, and that the centripetal and centrifugal forces keep the world from clashing and from demolition. But Paul says that Christ’s arm is the axle on which everything turns, and that Christ’s hand is the socket in which everything is set. Mark the words, “Upholding—upholding all things by the word of his power. ” Then he must be a God. If I ask how much estate you are worth and you say SIO,OOO or SIOO,OOO or $500,000, I believe what you say. You know better than any one else. Now, Christ must know better than any one else who he is and what he is. When I ask him how old he is, he says, “befDre Abraham was, I am.” Abraham had been dead 2,028 years. Was Christ 2,028 years old? Yes, he says he is older than that. Before Abraham was, I am, ” Then Christ says, “I am the Alpha.” Alpha is the first letter of the Greek alphabet, and Christ in that utterance declared, “I am the A of the alphabet of the centuries.” Then he must be a God.

A man comes into your place of business, with a Jewish countenance and a German accent, he says: “I am Rothschild, the banker at London. 1 have the wealth of nations in my pocket. ... I loaned that large amount to Italy and Austria in their perplexity.” But after awhile you find that he has never loaned any money to Italy or Austria; that he never had a large estate, that he is no banker 1 at all; that he owns nothing What is he? An impostor, Christ says he owns the cattle on a thousand hills; he owns the world; he owns the universe; he owns the next world; he is the banker of all nations. Is he? If he is, he is a God. Is he not? Then he is an impostor. I have shown you what inspired men said of Christ. I have shown you what Christ said of himself. Now, if you believe the Bible, let us go out and see his wonderful achievements surgical, alimentary, marine, mortuary. Surgical achieve*

ments!/ Where is the medical journal that gives any account of such exploits as Christ wrought? He used no knife. He carried no splints. He employed no compress. He made no patient squirm under cauterization. He tied no artery. Yet behold him I With a word he stuck fast Malehus’ amputated ear. He stirred a little dust and Spittle into a salve and with it caused a man who was born blind and without optic nerve or cornea or crystalline lens to open his eyes on the sunlight. He beat music on the drum of the deaf ear. He straightened a woman who through contraction of muscle had been bent almost double for well nigh two decades. He made a man who had no use of his limbs for thirty-eight years shoulder his mattress and walk off. Sir Astley Cooper, Abernethey; Valentine Mott stood powerless before a withered arm; but this doctor of omnipotent surgery comes in and he sees the paralytic arm useless and lifeless at the man’s side, and Christ says to him, “Stretch forth thine hand,” and he stretched it forth whole as the other. He was a God. Let philosophers and anatomists go to Westminster abbey and try to wake up Queen Elizabeth or Henrv Vin. No human power ever wakened the dead. There is a dead girl in Capernaum. What does Christ do? Alas, that she should have died so young and when the world was so fair! Only twelve years of age. Feel her cold brow and cold hands. Dead, dead! The house is full of weeping. Christ comes, and he takes hold of the hand of the dead girl, and instantly her eyes open, her heart starts.* The white lily of death blushes into the arms of her rejoicing kindred. Who woke up -that death? Who restored her to life? A man? Tell that to the lunaties in Bloomingdale asylum. It was Christ the God. But there comes a test which more than anything else will show whether he was God orman. You remember that great passage which says, “We must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ.” The earth will be stunned by a blow that will make it stagger in midheaven, the stars will circle like dry leaves in an equinox, the earth will unroll the bodies, and the sky will unroll the spirits, and soul and flesh will come into incorruptible conjunction. Day of smoke and fire and darkness and triumph. On one side, piled up in galleries of light, the one hundred and forty and four thousand—yea, the quintillions—of the saved. On the other side, piled up in galleries of darkness, the frowning, the glaring multitude of those who rejected God. Between these two piled up galleries a throne, a high throne, a throne standing on two burnished justice, mercy—a throne so bright you had better hide your eye lest it be extinguished with excess of Vision. But it is an empty throne. Who will come up and take it? Will you? "No,” you say, “lam but a child of dust. I would not dare to climb that throne.” Would Gabriel climb it? He dare not. Who will ascend it? Here comes one. His back is to us. He goes up step above step, height above height, until he reaches the apex. Then he turns around and faces all nations, and we all see who it is. It is Christ the God, and all earth, and all heaven, and all hell kneel, crying: “It is a God! It is a God!” We must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ. Oh, put your tired head down on the heaving bosom of divine compassion while he puts his arms around you and says: “O widowed soul, I will be thy God. O orphaned soul, I will be thy protector. Do not cry.” Then he touches your eyelids with his fingers and sweeps his fingers down your cheek and wipes away all the tears of loneliness. *Oh, what a tender and sympathetic God has come for us! Ido not ask you to lay hold of him. Perhaps you are not strong enough for that. Ido not ask you to pray. Perhaps you are too bewildered for that. I only ask you to let go and fall back into the arms of everlasting love. Soon you and I will hear the click of the latch of the door of the sepulcher. Strong men will take us in their arms and carry us down and lay us in the dust, and they cannot bring us back again. I should be scared with infinite fright if I thought I must stay in the grave. But Christ will come with glorious iconoclasm and split and grind up the rocks and let us all come forth. The Christ of the manger is the Christ of the throne.

He Outdid Himself.

Boston Journal. A good man who lives in a thickly settled locality some miles from Boston has the misfortune to be extremely deaf. Like many others similarly afflicted his voice is at times remarkably loud; this is especially true in his , devotions, and it is currently reported in the neighborhood that his morning prayer can be heard for half a mile. A neighbor not long since having occasion to visit his house in the morning found its owner at prayer, and not wishing to interrupt him he waited outside. The tones of the voice within grew louder. Each sentence was unwittingly sppken with more vehemence than the preceding until the prayer was ended with a prolonged shout of “Amen!” The visitor was about to knock when the sound of the wife’s voice arrested him. With a skill born of practice she almost rivalled the tones of her spouse as she said: “Well, I guess you’ve drove all the rabbits out of the swamp this morning!”
