The Samoa sensation has called attention to the German navy, which is tie Weakest of any "of the great European Powers. The Emperor's fleet is composed oilOS vesseiscarrying 605 guns. But only twenty-seven of his men-of-war are iron-clads, and not half of the iron -clads are ef modern build or capable of either sailing rapidly or undertaking long voyages. It is also worth noting that of the

total number named (105), nearly half are incapacitated for foreign or ocean

service, and' are really school boats and

revenue cutters. The fact is, Germany's

diminutive seaboard has led to a grave - neglect of its navy, which the Teutonic

colonization policy of recent years has

only in part served to remedy.

Ood's Iajs Are Not Our Bays Order Was Brought Out of Chaos and Iiigut Oat or Darkness. - . . ?,

"Rev. Dr. Talmage chose a striking tide

for his last Sunday's sermon, i. e.: Xough Things in the Bible;" The text was from H Peter, iiL Ifc uIn which some things are hard to be understood."

He began by saying that the Bible was

the most; common sense book and it all

depended on the mood in which it was read to get the true meaning. Then he continued: "Hard things the first: The

Bible says the world was created in six

days, while geology says it was hundreds of thousands of years in process of building. In the benning God created the heaven and the earth.' In the begiiming? There yon can rtll in ten million years if you want-to. Tiiere is no particular date given no contest between science and revelation. Though the world may have been in process of creation for millions of years, suddenly and quickly, in one week, it may have been fitted up for man's residence just as a great mansion may have been many years in building and yet

m one week it may oe curtained and

cbandeliered and cushioned and" up bolstered for a bride and groom.

lBut you-are not compelled to be

hove that the world was made in six " days. It. may not have been a day of twenty-four hours, the day spoken of in the first chanter; it may have been God-s day, and a thousand yeans with Hun are as one day. Can you tell me how a , man can get his mind and soul into such a blasphemous twist as to scoff at that first chapter of Genesis; its verses billows of light surging up from sapphire seas of glory. ' Another hard thing: "The Bible rep- . resents that light was created on Monday arid the sun: was- not created until Thursday. Just think of it, a book declaring that light was created three days before the aim shone. Why, don't you know that heat and electricity emit light independent of the sun? Besides . that, when the earth was in process of condensation, it was surrounded by thick vapors and the discharge of many volcanoes in the primary period, and all

this obscuration may have hindered the light of the ;.r sun from falling on the earth until that Thursday morning. 'Besides that, David Brewster and Herschei,. the astronomer, and- all the modern men of that class agree in the fact that the sun is not light; that it is an opaque mass; that it is only the. candlestick that holds the light, a phosphorescent atmosphere floating around it, changing and changing, so it is not to be at all wondered at that not until that Thursday mo rning its light fell on the earth. Another hard- thing is the story of the deluge of Noah's Ark. They say that from the account it must have rained eight hundred feet of water each day in-order that it 4 might be fifteen cubits above the hills. They say that the ark could not have been large enough to contain "two of every sort," for there would have; been hundreds of thousands of creatures. They say that these creatures would have come from all lands and all zones. They say ther e was only one small window in the ark, and that would not have given fresh air to keep the animals inside from suffocation. They say that the ark finally landed on a mountain 7,000 feet high, They say that they do not believe the story. Neither do I. There is

no such story in the Bible. I will

the Icey to the4acts. This the story of

portions of the globe should be flooded, as they were not inhabited. Again, the ark was not a mud-scow, but a vessel much laTger than the . Great

Eastern. The animals had naturally got to it to escape the fury of the storm. In

stead of one window, as is generally supposed, it contained an immense side

light, and suffocation was impossible.

There was nothing marvelous about the matter at all. .....

Referring to the story that the son

and moon stood still to allow Joshua to

complete his victory, he said: "Infidel

scientists declare that an impossibility.

the great machinery of the worlds, has he not strength enough to stop and wis

Besides that, it was not necessary

the heavens it figuratively stopped. Our world has two motions the one around

the sun and the other on its own axis.

It might have stopped on its own axis,

while at the same time it kept on its

path through the heavens. So there

was no need of a stellar confusion because our world stopped in its revolution

on its own axis.

Alluding to Jonah and the whale, he

said: "There have been sharks found again with an entire human body in them. Besides that, the Bible says nothing about a whale. It says 'the Lord prepared a great fish,' and there are scientists who tell us that there were sea monsters in other days that make the modern whale seem very insignificant. I know in one place the New Testament speaks of the whale a appearing in the occurrence I have just mentioned, but the word may j ust as well be translated 'sea monster' any kind of a sea monster. Procopins says in the year 32 a sea monster was slain which had for fifty years destroyed ships. I suppose this sea monster that took care of Jonah may have been one of the great sea monsters that could easily have taken down a prophet, and he could have lived there three days if he had kept in motion so as to have kept the gastric juices from taking hold of him

and destroying him. and at the end of

three days the monster would naturally

be sick enough to regurgitate Jonah.

CHAPTER XII. BBJFOB12 TKB BATTLE. Luckily for us, Infadoos and the chiefs knew nil the pathways of the great town perfectly, so that notwithstanding the

intense gloom we made fair progress. For an hour or more we journeyed on, till at length the eclipse began to pass, and that edge of the sun which had disappeared the first, became again visible. In another five minutes there was sufficient light to see our whereabouts, and we then discovered that we were clear, of the town of. Loo. and approaching a large fiat-topped hill, measuring some two

men, but a3 we toiled up the steep side of the hill in the returning daylight, we perceived that there were many more

warriors than mat upon it.

Reaching the table-land at last, we

found crowds of men huddled together

in the utmost consternation at the

natural phenomenon which they were

witnessing. Jfassine througn tnese witn-

out a word, we gained a hut m tne cen

ter of the ground, where we were aston

ished to find two men waiting, laden with our few goods and chattels, which

of course we had Deen oougeo 10 leave behind in our hasty flight. VI sent for them," explained Infadoos; "also for these,"and he lifted up Good's long-lost trousers. With an exclamation of rapturous delight Good sprung at them, and instantproceeded to put them on. "Surely my lord will not hide his beautiful white legs!" exclaimed Infadoos, regretfvHy. . But.Good persisted, and once only did the Kukuana people get the chance of seeing his beautiful legs again. Good

is a veiy modest man. Menceiorward they had to satisfy their aesthetic longings with his one whisker, hiB transparent eve, and his movable teeth. Still gazing with fond remembrance at Good's trousers, Infadoos next informed us that he had summoned the regiments to explain to them fully the rebellion which was -decided on by the chiefs, and toi ntroduce to them the rightful heir to the throne, Ignosi. In half an hour the troops, in all nearly twenty thousand men, constituting the -flower of the Kukuanna army, were mustered on a large open space, to which we proceeded. The men were drawn up in. tbee sides of a dense square, and presented a magnificent spectacle. We took our station on the open side of the square, and were speedily surrounded by all the principal chiefs and officers. ..These, after, silence had been proclaimed. Infadoos proceed to address. He narrated to them in vigorous and graceful language for like most Kuku-

anas of high rank, he was a born orator the history of Ignosi's father, how he had been basely murdered by Twala, and his wife and children driven out to Btarve. Then he pointed out how the land suffered and groaned under Twala's ciuel rule, instancing the proceedings of the previous night, when, under pretense of their being evil-doers, many of the noblest in the land had been haled forth and cruelly done to death. Next he went on to say that the w hi te lords from the stars, looking down on the

land, had perceived its trouble, and determined, at great personal inconveni

ence, to alleviate its lot; how they had accordingly taken the real king of the countrvt Ignosi, who was languishing

in exile, by the hand, and led him over

the mountains; how they had seen the wickedness of 'Twala's doings, and for a sign to the wavering, and to save the life of the girl Foulata had actually, bv

the exercise of their high magic, put

out the sun, and slain the young fiend Scragga; and how they were prepared to stand by them, and assist them to overthrow Twala, and Bet up the rightful king, Ignosi, in his place.

lie nmsiiea his discourse amidet a

murmur of approbation, and then Ignosi

stepped iorward and. began to speak. Having reiterated all that Infadoos, his uncle, had said, he concluded a powerful speech in these words:, , "Oh, chiefs, captains, soldiers, and

people, ye have heard my words. Now

must ye make choice between me and him who sits upon my throne, the uncle

who killed his brother, and hunted his

brother's child forth to die in the cold

and the night. That I am indeed the

king, these" pointing to the chiefs

"can tell ye, for they have seen the

snake about my middle. If I were not

the king, would these white men be on

my side, with all their magic? Tremble

chiefs, captains, soldiers, and people!

Is not the darkness they have brought

upon tne land to confound Twala, and cover our flight, yet before your eyes?' "It is," answered tne soldiers. "I am the king; I say to ye, I am the king," went on Ignosi, . drawing up his great statue to its. full, and lifting his broad-bJaded battle-ax above his head. "If there be any man among ye who says that it is not so, let him stand forth, and I will fight him now, and his blood shall be a red token that I tell ye true. Let him stand forth, I say;" and .he shook the great ax till it flashed in the sunlight. ; ... . As nobody seemed inclined to respond to this heroic version of "Dilly, Billy, come and be killed," our late henchma'n proceed with his address. . "1 am indeed the king, and if ye stand by my side in the battle, if I win the day, ye shall go with me to victory and honor. I will give ye oxen and wives, and ye shall take place of all the regiments; and if ye fall I will fall with ye. '.'And, behold, this promise do I give ye, that when I sit upon the Beat of my fathers, bloodshed shall cease in the land. No longer shall ye cry for justice to find slaughter, no longer shall the witchfinder hunt ye eut so that ye be slain without a cause. No man shall die save him who offendeth against the laws. The 'eating .up'. .of your kraals shall cease; each shall Bleep secure in his own hut and fear not, and justice shall walk blind throughout the land. Have ye chosen, chiefs, captains, soldiers, and people?" " We have chosen, O king!" came back the answer. ..... - "Twala's messengers go forth from the flr.reat town, east and west, and north

and south, to gather a mighty army to slay me and ye, and these my friends and protectors. To-morrow, and per

chance the next dav, -will he come with

all who are faithful to him' Then shall I see the man who is indeed my man, the man who fears not to die for his cause; and I tell ye he shall not be forgotten in the time of spoil. I have spoken, 0 chiefs, captains, soldiers, ana . people! Now go to your huts and make vou

ready for war." . . .

There was a pause, and then one of

the chiefs lifted his hand, and out rolled

the royal salute, "Koom." It was a sign that the regiments accepted Ignosi as their king. Then they marched off in

oattahons.

Half an hour afterward we held a

council of war, at which all tne commanders of the regiments were present.

it was evident to us that beioro very long we should be attacked in overwhelming force. Indeed, from our point of vantage on the hill we could see troops mustering, and messengers going forth . from Loo in every direction, doubtless to summon regiments to the king's assistance. We had on our side about twenty thousand iren, composed of seven of the best regiments in the country. Twala had, so. Infadoos and the chiefs calculated, at least thirty-five thousand on whom he could rely at present assembled In boo, and they

thought that by midday on the morrow he would be able to gather another five thousand or more tc his aid; It was, of course, possible thai; some of his troops would desert and come over to us, but it. was not a cor ting sncj that could be reckoned oh. Meanwhile, it was clear that active preparations were being made to subdue us. Already strong bodies of armed men were patroling

round and round the foot of the hill, and there were other signs o a coming attack. ... ..... Infadoos and the chiefs, however, were of opinion that no attack would take place the night, which would be devoted to preparation and to the re

moval by every, possible means of the moral effect produced upon the minds of the soldiery by the supposed magical darkening of the sun. The attack would be on the morrow, they said, and they proved to be right. Meanwhile, we set to work to strengthen the position as much as possible. Nearly the entire force was turned out, and in the two hours which yet remained to sundown wonders done. The paths up the hill, which was rather a sanitarium tuan a fortress, being used generally as tl e camping-place of regiments suuerinar from recent service in unhealthy portions of the country, were carefully blocked with masses of stones, and every other possible approach was made as impregnable as time would allow. Piles of bowlders were collected at various spots to be rolled down upon an advancing enemy, stations were appointed to the difltifent rfgiments, and

every other preparation which our joint ingenuity could suggest was takon. Just before sundown we perceived a small company of men advancing toward

us from the direction of Loo, one of

whom bore a palm-leaf in his hand as a

sign that he came. as a herald.

As he came Ignosi, iniadoos, one or two chiefs, and ourselves, wen; down to

the foot of the mountain to meet nun.

He was a valiant-looking fellow, with

the regulation leopard-skin cloak. "Greeting!" ho cried, as he c

near! "the king's greeting to those who

make unholy war against the king; the lion's greeting to the jackals who snarl

around his heels. "Sneak." I said.

"These are the king's words. Sur

thing befall ye. Already the nhoulders

has been torn from the black bull, and

"What are Twala's terms?" I asked

for curiosity. "His terms are merciful, worthy, of

preatking. These are the words of

husband of a thousand wives, lord of

Such are the merciful words of Twala."

Sir Henry made this last remark in a

mournful voice, but there was a gleam

n his eye which hftliod it. I have a sort

of idea that Sir Henrv Curtis actually

ikes fighting.

After this we went and slept for a

couple of hours.

Just about dawn, .we were awakened

by Infadoos, who came to say that great

he retired, and almost immediately the

sun sunk.

That night was a bnsy one for us, for as far as was possible by. the moonlight

all preparations for the ..morrow s figh

were continued. Messengers were constantly coming and going from the

place where we sat in council. At last

about an hour-after midnight, every

thing that could be done was done, and

the camp, save for the occasional challenge of a sentry, sunk into sleep. Sir

Henry and I, accompanied by Jgnosi

and one of the chiefs, descended the

hill and made the round of the ve

dettes. A s we went, suddenly, from al

sorts ot unexpected places, spears

gleamed out in. the moonlight onlv to

vanish again a we uttered the password

It was clear to us that none were Bleep

ing at their, posts. Then we returned picking our way through thousands 0

sleeping warriors, many of whom were

taking their Jafit earth iv rest.

The .moonlight flickered along their

spears, and played upon their features

and made them ghastly; the chilly night

wind tossed their tall and hearse-like

plume. There thev lav in wild coufu-

sion, with arms outstretched and twist

ed "limbs: their stern, stalwart forms

looking weird and unhuman in the

moonlight,

"How many of these do you suppose

win oe auve e t tois time to-marrowr asked Sir Henry.

1 shook my head and looked again at

the sleeping men, and to my tired and

yet excited imagination . u seemed as

though death had already touched

them. . My mind's eye singled out those

who were sealed to slaughter, and there rushed in upon ray heart a great sense

of the mystery of human life, and an

.overwhelming sorrow, at its futility and

sadness. Tonight these thousands

slept their h-aalthy sleep, to-morrow they and many others with them, ourselves perhaps among them, would be

stiffening in the cold; their wives would be widows, their children fatherless,

and their place know them no more for

ever. Only the old moon would shine

serenely on, the night wind would stir

the grasses, and the wide earth would take its happy rest; even as it did coons

before these were, and will do ffions after

they have been forgotten. ..Yet man. dies not whilst the world, at once his mother and his monument, remains. His name is forgotten, indeed, but the breath he breathed yet stirs the pine-tops on the mountains", the sound of the words he spoke yet echoeB on through space; the thought his brain

gave birth to we. have inherited to-day;

his passions are our cause of life; the

joys and sorrows that he felt are our

familiar friends -the end from which he fled aghast will surely overtake us

also!

Truly the universe is full of ghosts,

not sheeted church-yard specters, but

the inextinguishable and immortal elements of life, which, having . once been can never die, though they blend and change and change again forever.

AH sorts of reflections of this sort

passed through my mind for as I get older I regret to say that a detestable habit of thinking seems to be getting a hold of me while I stood and stared at those grim yet fantastic lines of warriors sleeping, as their saying goes, "upon their spears." "Curtis," I said to Sir Henry, 4 -I am in a condition, of pitiable funk." Sir Henry utroked nis yellow beard and lauged, ag he answered "I've heard you make that sort" of a

remark before Quatermain. "Weil, I mean it now. Bo you know, I very much doubt if one of us will be alive to-morrow night. AVe shall bo attacked I a overwhelming force, and it is

activity was to be observed in Loo, and

hat parties of the king's skirmishers

were Urivingin ourvidettes.

We got up and dressed ourselves for

the frav, each putting on our chain-

armor shirt, for which at the present juncture wo felt exceedingly thankful.

Sir Henry went the whole hog about

the matter, and dressed himself like a native warrior. "When you are in Kukuanaland do as the Kuku-

anss do," he remarked, . as . he drew the shining steel over his broad shoul

ders, which it fitted lke a glove. .Nor

did he stop there. At his request Iufa-

doos had provided him with a complete set of .war uniform... Round his throat

he fastened the leopard-skin cloak of a commanding officer, on his brows he bound the plume of black ostrich feath

ers, worn onlv by Generals of high rank,

and round his center a magnificent

inoocha of white ox tails. A pair of sandals, a leglet of goats' hair, a heavy battle ax with a rhinoceros, horn handle, a

round iron shield covered with, white

ox hide, and the regulation nunvber of

tollas or throwing knives, made up his equipments, to which, however, he added his revolver. The dress w.as,no doubt, a savage one, but I am bound to saT I never saw a finer sight than Sir Henry

Gutis presented in this guise. It showed off his magnificent physique to the greatest advantage, and when Ignosi arrived presently, arrayed in similar coS tuine, I thought to myself that I never before saw two Bnch splendid men. As for Good and myself the chain armor did not suit us nearly so well. As soon as we had equipped ourselves, we hastily swallowed some food,andtben started out to see how things -were progressing. At one point in the tableland of the mountain there wasrt little koppie of brown stone, which served for the double purpose of headquarters and a conning tower. Here we found Infadoos surrounded by his own regiment, the Grays, which was undoubtedly the finest in the Kukuana army, and " the same which we had first seen at the .outlying kraal. This. regiment, .now ..three thou sand five hundred strong, was being held in reserve, and the men were lying down on the grass in companies, and watching the king's forces creep out of Loo in long, ant-like columns. There, seemed to be no end to. those columns three in all, and each numbering at; least eleven or twelve thousand men. . As soon as they were clear of the town they formed up. Then one -body marched of! to the right, one to the left, and the third came slowly on toward us, "Ah," said infadoos, they. are going to attack us on three sides at once." . This was rather serious news, : for as our position on the top of the mountain, which was at least a mile and a half in

circumference, was an extended one, it was important to us to concentrate our

comparatively small defending force as much as possible. But as i t was impossible for us to dictate in what way we

should be attacked, we had to make the

best of it, and accordingly sent orders to

the various regiments to prepare to re

ceive the separate onslaughts. Continued next week. BLIND SOLDIERS.

TheirKemarkable Performances at

Cincinnati Euiuirer. A company of blind youths, ranging in age from sixteen to twenty years, which drills as perfectly as veterans, astonished a legislative visiting committee at Jacksonville Asylum to-day. They stood erect with soldierly bearing in the faded, worn and cast-off uniform of the Illinois National Guard, and their quick and precise response to the commands

they were clad. "Their execution is won

trol tne output and sale as it is so aounaant throughout the country, and should such an organization be made ift would not last long, as the profits would be

smarl. Notwithstanding these state

ment a Bvhdicate is being organised

hero to go into the the salt business on a

big scale- The syndicate expect to control the price and improve the quality of the article. P. B. Thurber, who is one of the promoters of the scheme, in speaking to ; reporter on the subject Thursday, satid:, 'fit's no trufjt, we. are simply formhig a syndicate of capitalists to purchase j;ood salt works, and with gciod machinery and improved process of manufacture we will turn out a better article at a much less price. We will have a capital of $10,000,000, and I am sony, as this matter is not yet settled, that I can not give y ou thenames of the principals in the syndicate.". It is silly for any one ta say that a Bait trust can be formed. If, like copper, the supply was limited, the thing could be done, but in this country there are miles upon miles of salt, sufficient to hist for.untold centuries, and such a thing sb controlling the production is preposterous."
