“Thou shalt not curse the deaf, nor put a stumbling block before the blind, but shalt fear thy God; I am the Lord.” Mr. Jarvis, the new Senator from North Carolina, is the son of a Methodist preacher, and was born at Jarvisburg fifty-eight years ago. The preachers boys~dun’t _ atEgo to the d—l. Some go to Congress and reach the Presidential chair—Chester A. Arthur and Grover Cleveland being conspicuous examples. .

Some of th O' sprouts were two inches in length. A new era in ship building may.be Said to have been inaugurated May 12 at Dubuque, la., by the launching of the torpedo boat Ericsson. The Ericsson was built under the act of June-30. IS9O, at a cost of -f'113.000. The .vessel was . constructed under the supervision of Lieutenants Windsor and Bank so a. of the navy. 11 is cigar-shaped and formed of threp-sixteehths-inch steel plates. The dimensions of the boat are: Length, 150 feet; beam, 15.62 feet; depth. 10 feet 6 inches. The Ericsson will be tafeen-to tile- it'lap navy yard to receive machinery and armament. “It’s an ill wind that blows nobody good.” The insurance on the Brooklyn Tabernacle, destroyed by fire on the 13th. is sufficient to clear off the debt which has so long seriously’ interfered with the happiness, of pastor and people, and it is said there will be sufficient money left to buy a new site in a-less expensive location and.start a new church edifice. We hope no one will be mean enough to charge Dr, Talmage with setting fire to the building, as would be the case with almost any business man who could clear off his indebtedness in such a. .speedy... and easymanner. Ex-Senator Tabor is in luck again. Ten years ago he was worth $5,000,090, but one misfortune after another followed until he was practically bankrupt, though still retaining the Tabor Opera House and block at Denver, the property being heavily’ mortgaged. These mortgages were nearly due and the distinguished Senator and old-tirrft miner became desperate. He went to Mexico and set to work in the Jesus Maria mine, in which he managed to obtain an interest, as an overseer. The mine is now paying" 165,000 a month, and Mr. Tabor has secured the release of his valuable property from the money lenders and is again on the high road to fortune with a big F. The constantly’ increasing demand for maple flooring for modern residences, as well as for public buildings, seems likely to result in a sharp advance in the price of this class of lumber, and the entire Exhaustion of the supply is not an improbable result in the near future. This is an item of great interest and value to the fortunate owners of “sugar tree” woodland, of wh6m, happily, there are many in the grand old Hoosier Stat?. Probably no more remunerative investment could be made by this class of property holders than to simply hold what they have and plant as many more new trees as possible on all the vail able soil at their command. The old-time town of Porkopolis, anowadays known as Cincinnati, is said to be awakening from the lethargy of years. This slowness of the great city on the Ohio has been a theme for Chicago Cd grin at, but in reality the business of Cincinnati is huge, and her manufactories send their products even to the boastful burg on the lake side. Now the Cincinnati Board of Trade, without an? theatric?!!? whatever, has sent one of the ablest business men to South America, backed with ample capital, to establish agencies for the eale of Cincinnati goods at sixteen

J-.ilerent ports. Rio de Janeiro will bo th? h?:i 1 quarters d the venture, and’ merchandise will be mariufacture.d on the banks of the Ohic especially to meet the demands of. the Spanish-American trade. There 4s no foolishness about Ciaeianati, but her citizens have-jaUedkte-maS’--ter the s<-ien .-e of brag, bl uster and bloviating seif-adulation. Comte Charles Phillippe de QuiNcrg of the French ? diplomatic service, dismissed from the corps for . miscondaet, became desp >:ident and tried to reach the great beyond by the lau lanurn route at Paris, afterward -.shooting himself. Both attempts todie before his time failed, and in orJer to pass the time away "the Comte committed various acts of. fraud and forgery for which he has been locked up. The fallen nobleman had also tried to earn an honest living as a comm-er-clal.traveler, but was not successful. The Comte made a mistake ir not'eoming to New York in search df an heiress, who would doubtless have been only too glad to marry him for.the sake of his title, and distinguished name. A five-thousand pound safe that vvas being hoisted up an empty elevator shaft in the new Sheldon building on Nassau street, Nevi York, fell from the twelfth story because of a broken cog in the windlass. A large crowd in attendance, who ~Tnew~ it would~~drb’p”, were treated to a sensation. .. The safewas ruined and the building was ba lly damaged. Such accideiits are rare,’.but the contractors state that the.crowds who persist in gathering, in spite of danger signals, are al wavs to t!'Hnl-: thi\v have been mistreated when the safe is “safe'Ty-landed in the top stories o: a -modern-office building. Generally the.safes arc taken up with tackle or the outside of the buildings and ‘’shored” into a window, thus affording ample opportunity for the people to speculate on what would happen if the “old thing” let go.

EAT APPLES,

For They Have Many Good Med.l einal and Remedial QiiaTi'ties. NortlrAmerican Practitioner. Chemically the apple is composed of vegetable fiber, albumen, sugar, gum, .chlorophyl mallic acid, galjjc acid, lime and much water. Furthermore the German analy’stsvsay that the apple contains a larger percon tage of phosphorus than any othei fruit or vegetable. The phosphorus is—admirably adapted to renewing the essential matter of the brain and spinal cord. It is, perhaps, for th f same reason, rudely understood,that old Scandinavian traditions represent the apple as the food-of -the gods, who. when they felt themselves growing feeble and infirm, resorted to this fruit, renewing their powers of mind and body, apple are. of singular use for men of sedentary habits, whose livers are sluggish in action, those acids serving to eliminate from the body noxious matters, which, if retained, would make the brain heavy and dull, or bringabout jaundice dr skin eruptions and other allied troubles. Some such experience must have led to the custom of taking apple sauce with roast porlc, rich goose and other like dishes. The mallic acid of the ripe apples, either raw or cooked, will neutralize any excess of chalky matter engendered by eating too muck meat. It is also the fact that suet fruits as the apple, the p?ar and the plum, when taken ripe and without sugar, diminish acidity in the stomach rather than provoke it. Then vegetable sauces and juices are converted into -alkaline carbonates bv the chemical action of the stomaci juices, which tend to counteract acidity. <7

Sand Storms.

The Nineteenth Century. More than once we had practica experience of sand storms. On the first occasion my tent was blowr over upon me as I slept and I was left crawling about under the flapping canvas, trying to find my shoes, When I emerged I found this ne\: kind of hailstorm rather trying tc the exposed parts, and 1 rather prided myself on my success in reerecting my house unaided. The other tents held and their occupants did not know of ray mishap, but everv other upright thing was cast down and a number of loose properties went off into the desert. They were all recovered except a sponge, which being light and elastic hopped oil miles beyond recovery,"and by the next morning might have arrived in the Mahdi's country. ~The next, visitation was In the daytime, when we were on a march. 1 saw it coming in the distance, a Avail of sand cloud sweeping toward us, though the atmosphere where avc were was still. I sto-pped the caravan and began pitching camp immediately. But before the operation was completed we were struck by a storm of sand through which, we could not see- twenty yards. After half an hour of tins a person feels like a fried sole covered with bread crumbs. We dare not open our; luggage lest it s.houid get, filled Avith sand, and the wonder was how Moojan succeeded in copying a tolerable dinner. \

THE CAMPAIGN.

P* ■ • ■J ■ • - • r Spring Storms Have Passed, Behold the Cyclone Cometh, IHK ll.ee datPittsburg. Ohieago interbce®ir= The Americus Republican -Club of Pittsburg, has made the nation its , debtor by giving an opportunity to ; Mr. Reed, who always will be “Tom i Reed,” even as Mr. Lincoln always will be “Abe Lincoln’’ in the thoughts and memories of the people. Mr. Reed is not the kind of a man Avho-permits a great opportunity’ to pass unimproved. And the opportunity (ff Friday was improved by him to the uttermost. “Here,” in substance : .said Mr. 1 Reed, “is a country made! rich by nature, needing only the efforts of; associated man to develop its riches: 1 a country, also, in which the voice, of the people is heard more, plainly and their power’ felt more quickly Iha n else whe re, -The r ic.h esof t-h-is country have been developed to a wonderful degree under a policy of protection. Their development now is checked by threats of abandonment of that policy. The people, having seen and felt the sad results of such a check, have spoken in Rhode Island, in Ohio, in Pennsylvania. in Massachusetts, andfo-avery city and town where elections have been held. Their voices have, been all but unanimous in condemnation of Democratic policy. Yet, in defiance of these expressions of opinion from the Pacific States, -where Colorado held .. sqfty-§jx„_e!evtions and. gave but one Democratic victory, from the middle-States and the Atlantic shore, Congress, which, .professes to represent the people, Weerps steadily at its work of destruction of American industries. The committees charged with framing tariff leg-isrationliavei-efuLedto receive ga tious -of ■- American wage- earners and of American employers of labor, but have welcomed deputations of alien residents who are agents of alien manufacturers.” What th is nat io:) n peds is. as Mr. Reed, well says, “not repressive, but developing statesmanship. What we need now is that the doctrine shall be firmly’ established that whatever happens this country is to do its own work. When that- once is fixed in our minds all details of. tariff will be easy of arrangement.”. We -hold that the whole body of political: economy as ap; >li c a ide to the Un it e d States of America is comprised in these pregnant words. He is a bad manager of private finance who employs others to do what his own force can do Rs well and as cheaply. And cheaply is a relative word; $lO is a cheaper price to him whose pay is $25 per week than $5 is to him whose pay is $lO. So long as th«,i wage fund is kept relatively higher than the difference between wages and the host of living here and elsewhere, so long the prosperity of “this country will be pre-eminent. It is frAt receding from pre-ei.iinenee because of the probability of abrogation of the policy that has created and maintained a large wage fund. The en thusiastic reception, of r M 1- - Reed at Pittsburg and the interest of the country’ in his masterly speech is the latest of many cheering assurances of the return of popular sentiment to its old chaiHfot~r The Third Tariff Bill. Indianapolis Journal. Ten days ago Mr. Aldrich announced in the Senate that a compromise tariff bill was being formulated outside of the finance committee of the Senate, which would insure the support of every Democrat in that body. Thereupon Senator Harris protested, and Senator Voorhees rose before the country and d.?elared upon his honor that he had no knowledge of anything of tba sort. Then the statement of the framing of an outside bill as a compromise measure appeared in the newspapers, and when Mr. Hale called attention to it he was asked if any Senator was so dull as to believe newspaper reports. Next came the interview of Secretary’ Carlisle, who seems to have parted with all discretion, in which he innocently declared that he was taking a hand in the shaping of the features of a bill which would unite the Democrats. It was when -Senator Aldrich called attention to this interview that Senator Turpie was, in the “condition’

Senators Aldrich. Hale and others wereYigHU 5The situation is interesting if not instructive. When the House began with the Wilson bill, three Dem ocratic Senators, led by Mills, made a tariff bill according to the lagtrade theory. but it was condemned' by the revenue experts as impracticable. More than three months ago the Wi 1 son bi 11. which the House had passed, came to the Senate and was referred to the finance committee. It was taken into a private room by the Democrats of that committee, and Mr. Mills was added because he was assumed to know about the matter. Three men worked on it. No man was- - perm illed to know what changes-these men were making, except a; few Democratic Senators and the representatives-: of two Democratic trusts. From week to week Senator Voorhees promised to 'report the bill, which was Being used 1 by speculators to make fortunes. At I length it ,avas reported with. .the.

Then itwas that it was turned over to the kickers to.be so amended that it is. , now a co:n protn ise bilk- Las t week ■ the Republican Senators offered to ' go to a vote cm the origitral—AVflson bill, but the offer was refused.. The ■ Voorhees bill has-been practically ; withdrawn to make room for a bill which will secure the votes of the ■ Eastern Democratic Senators and Mr. Brice. That is, the majority’ of Democrats in the Senate have pra’ctrcally killed two tariff bills'.' Now what of the compromise bill? When Mr. Cleveland ran for Governor of New York, in 1832, he carried every county in the State but six. In the spring elections this year the Republicans carried every county but six. Of thirty-four cities which have heretofore been Democratic strongholds, the Democrats carried, this year, only’ four. As a result of the spring elections the. ■ canvassing boards for the next two ’ years in all but five counties of the ; State will be Republican, thusdnsuring a fair count of the votes cast at ; the State election.

AT THE GOLDEN GATE.

An Eloquent Sermon on the Burdens ot Lase. Comfort for the AVT-try and Heavy ~ U——- . ; Dr. TAI-nitge'H Sermon. Dr. Talmage spent last Sunday in i San Francisco, whence he will sail, May 31, on the steamer Alameda for Honolulu. He; preached to a large audience on the subject of “Heavy Weights,” the text being taken from Psalms iv, 22: “Cast thy burden on the Lord, and He shall sustain thee.” He said: David was here taking his own medicine. If anybody had on him heavy weights, David had them, and yet out of his own experience he advises you and me as to the best Avay’ of getting rid of burdens. This is a world of burden bearing. During the past few days tidings came from across the sea of a mighty and good man fallen. A man full of the Holy Ghost was he. his name the synonym for all that is good and kind land gracious and beneiicen t. Word comes to us-of a scourge sweeping off hundreds and thousands of people, and there is a burden -of sorrow’. Sorrow on the sea and sorrow on the land, Coming into the house of prayer there may be' ; no sign of StHj; ness or sorrow, hut w’here is the man who has not a conflict? Where is the soul that has not a struggle?; And there is not a day of all the year when my text is not gloriously appropriate, and there is never an audience assembled on the planet where the text is not gloriously appropriate. “Cast thy burden upon -the Lord and He shall sustaiEHEhee/”Oh, my friends, what we want is a practical religion. The religion people hiive is so high up you cannot reach it. I had a friend who entered the life of an evangelist. He gave up a lxKa^iw(kJi«sinCss. and he and his wife came to severe want. He told me that in the morning at prayers he said: "O' Loe;!, thou knowest we have not a mouthful of food in the house. Heli>-=»e4 help us!” And he started out on the street, and a gentleman met him and said. “I hate been thinking of-you for a good while. You know lam a flour merchant. If vou wonlt-.be offended, I should lil;e to send you a barrel of flour.T—Recast his burden on the Lord, and the Lord sustained him. Now, that is the kind of religion w 7 e want. There are a great many men who have business burdens. When we see a man worried and perplexed ard annoyed in business life, we are apt to say. “He ought not to have attempted to carry so much.” Ah, that may not“ be to blame at all! When a man plants a business he knows not what will be its outgrowths, what will be lts roots, what will be its branches. There is many a man Avith keen foresight and large business faculty who has been flung into the dust by unforeseen circumstances springing upon him from ambush. When to buy, when to sell, when to trust and to what amount of credit, what will be the effect of this new invention of ma--tfmrery; what will be the effect of that loss of crop and a thousand other questions perplex business men until the hair is silvered and deep wrinkles are plowed m the cheek, and the stocks go down by the mountains and go dowir by the valleys, and they are at ends and stagger like drunken men. You hear that it is avarice which drives these men of business through the street, and that is the commonly accepted idea. Ido not believe a word of it. The vast multitude of these business men are toiling on for Others’. To educate their children, to put a wing of protection over their households, to have something left so when they pass out of this life their wives_and children; will not have to go to the poor house - that is the Avay I translate this energy in the street and store, the vast majority of that energy. Grip, Gouge & Co., do not do all the business. Ah, my friend, do you say that God does not care anything, about your worldly business? I tell you God knows more about it than you do. He knows all the perplexities. He knows what note you cannot pay. He knows what mortgage is about to foreclose. He knows what unsalable goods you have on your shelves. ’ He knows all your trials, from the day you took hold of the first yardstick down to that sale of the last yard of ribbon, and the God who helped David to be king, and who helped Havelock to be a soldier will help you to discharge all your duties. He is going to see you through. Wheh loss comes and you find your property going, just take this book and put it down by your ledger and read of the eternal- possessions that will come to you through our Lord Jesus Christ. And when your business partner betrays you, just take the insulting letter, put it down on- the table, put you bibfo/tbeside the insulting letter and then read of. the friendship of Him who “sticketh closer than a brother.” Oh. yes, God has a sympathy with anybody that is in any kind of toil. He knows how heavy is the hod of bricks that the workman carries up the ladder on the wall, he hears the pickax of the miner down" J ''m the coal shaft, he knows fyow strong the tempest strikes the sailor at the masthead, he sees the factory girl among the spindles and knows how fier arms a<;he, he sees the sewing woman in the fourth story and knows how few pence she gets for making a garment, and louder than all the din and roar of the city comes the voice of a sympathetic

God, -‘Gast- thy burden upon the Lord, and He shall sustain thee.” The world has always had a cross ; bet ween two thieves for the one who comes to save. High and holy enterprise has always been followed by abuse, The most sublime tragedy of self-sacrificing has come to I burigsq i:e. The graceful gait of vu-., , tue is always followed by scoff and I grimace and travesty. The sweeti est strain of poetry ever written has i come to ridiculeus parody, and as l long as there are virtue and right- ' eousness in the world there will be i something for iniquity to grin at. j All along the line of the ages and in all lands the cry has been: “Not t his m an, buUßarabbas. Now Barabbas was robber.” j A clergyman of the universalist church went into a neighborhood for the establishment of a church of his . denomination, and he was anxious to find some one of that denomination, and he was pointed to a certain , house and went there. He said to the man of the house: “I understand you are a universalist.” 1,; "lam a versalist, but I have a peculiar kimi of universalism.” “What is that?” asked the minister. "Well,” replied the other, “I have been out in j the world, and I have been cheated I and slandered and outraged and” - • abused until I believe in universal ■ dainnation!” j Now, if you have come across ill- , treai mmi t. let- me tell you you are in ! excellent company Christ and j Lutliei’ and Galileo and Columbus' ! and John Jay and Josiah Quincy and | thousands of men and women, the I best spirits of earth and heaven. j-Then .there are others who carry : great bur.lens of; physical ailments. I When sudden sickness has come and ifi ere e c holer asfiah <1 malign ant Ye vers ” ; take the castles of life by storm, we i appeal to GoJ. but in these chronic ailments' which wear out the strength day after day and week ; ;ift(>r w?ei< -uJK-l-yi'ar aitea’. year how , little resoriing to God for solace! ; Then people depended upon their | tonics, and their piasters, and their ■ cordials rather than upon heavenly : stimulants. , I Oil, how few people there are com- ‘ pietely well! Some of you, by dint of perseverance and care, have kept I living to this time, but how you * have had to war against physical ailments! Ahtefleluvians, without , medical college and infirmary and-, j RpotlnrcaTy" - sYdpWimittTplied their ■ years by hundreds, but he who has ■ gone through the gauntlet of disease i in our time and has come to seventy i years of age is a hero worthy of a palm. “Cast thy burden upon the Lord.” Does your head ache? His wore the thorn. Do your feet hurt? His were crushed by the spikes. Is your side painful? His was struck by the i spear. Do you feel like giving away I under the burden? His weakness ' gave way under a cross. While you are in every possible way to try to restore your physical vigor, you are to remember that more soothing i than any anodyne, more vitalizing ! than any stimulant and more strengthening than any tonic is the t prescription of the text. “Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and He will ,sus tai ii them-”--.—fe- —1"" A prominent merchant of New I York said to a member of my family, “My mother wants her- case men- ! tioned to Mr. Talmage.” This was the case. He said: “My ‘ mother had :x dreadful abscess, from which she had suffered untold agonies, and all surgery had been ex- , i hausted upon her, and worse she i grew until we called in a few ChrisI tian friends and proceeded to pray ’ about it. Wo recommended her case ter God, and the abscess began immediately to be cured. She is entirely well now and without knife and without any surgery.” So that case has come jto me, and there are a score of other cases coming to our cars from all parts of the earth. Oh, ye who are sick,, go to Christ! Oh T ye who are worn out with agonies of body, “Cast thy burden upon the. Lord, and h e shall sustain thee.” Another burden some lia\’e to carry is the burden of bereavement. Ah, these are the troubles that wear us out! If wo lose our property, by additional industry perhaps we may bring back the estranged fortune; if we lose our good name, perhaps by reformation of morals w.c may achieve again reputation for integrity, but who will bring back the dear departed? Now the grave is brighter than the ancient tomb where the lights were perpetually kept burning. The scarred feet of Him who was “the resurrection and the life” are on the broken grave hillock, while the , voices of angels ring down the sky at the coronation of another soul come home to glory. Oh, to have a mountain of sin on < the soul! Is there no way. to have the burden moved? Oh, yes; “Cast thy burden upon the Lord.” The sinless one came to take the consequences of our sin. And I know He is in earnest. How do I know it? By the streaming temples and the streaming hands as He says: “Come unto me, all ye who are weary and heavy laden, and I will gjve you rest.” Why’ will prodigals live on swines’ husks when the robe, and the ring,' and the father's welcome are ready? Why go wandering over the great Sahara desert of your sin when you are invited to the gardens of God, the trees of life and the fountains of living water? Why be houseless and homeless forever when you may become the sons and daughters of the Lord God Almighty? Railroads in Holland are so carefully managed that the accidental deaths on them average only one a year for the entire country.
