Mr. Talmage Laughs Enormously at all His Envious Brethren of the

Pulpit,

And Libel He Welcomes for "Spice" up to a Certain Point,

its

But Not That Boat Story.

From the Now YorkWorll. •, Mr. Talmage, quite mindful of the good advice of that old Methodist, Samuel Bradburn, extended to him through the courtesy of the World, was not yesterday morning in his pulpit altogether, "as the moon, walking in brightness he rather more closely resembled a skyrocket or a shooting star. Either to humor the thermometer or the mirror •upon his dressing table the reverend gentleman has recently permitted his

back

hair to lengthen. In repose this is not unbecoming it lends Inassiveness to the head. When he is at work, however, this dark stiff fringe serves equally well to exaggerate the activity of that head, lifting up from and falling upon the long, smooth nape of his neck like a patent fan.

It wan Mr. Talmage's avowed inten-

tion yesterday to depart from his usual

dignified policy of silence and reply to

some of the recent criticisms'that have been ma Je upon his ministry. Nothing further was needed to fill the Tabernacle. The text was taken at the thirty-fourth verse of the thirteenth chapter of St. Mark, and read briefly, "To every man his work." "You may not know," said Mr. Talmage, wrinkling his face into what would probably pas« in the Cannibal Islands for a genial smile, "that this is a sort of double anniversary. It is just ten years since I began my mini?-try here in Brooklyn, and I was also last "Wednesday for-tv-seven years old. You will not wonder, therefore, if this sermon is of an autobiogAphical nature. I started lite in a Christian household, where prayers were always said morning and evening. There were twelve of us—but six of us are in heaven." fit this statement and

the lugubrious expression of their pastor's face, the vast congregation indulged in a simultaneous sigh, which was like the wind rising out of a cornfield. "I started," he continued, "for the legal protession with an admiration that has never cooled. To this day I cannot walk by a court house or listen to a plea to a jury without feeling my blood stir with enthupiasm. But God converted my soul and put me into the ministry. And what a work it is! I thank 6od every day for associating me with this elevated, culchod, noble band— the'Christian ministers of America. I know personally about five thousand of them, and they are as near perfect afl it is possible for human nature to be. I am proud to be on the list, even if I am at the foot of it" Mr. Talmage paused at this point, and the audience at once applauded. "I will not deny, he continued, "that it has always been my ambition since I entered the ministry to apply a religion 6000 years old to'the present day. I want always to preach the Edenic religion that bruises the serpent's head. 1 never can see that old serpent without throwing something at him. I hate him-m I have been trampling on him in the course of sermons recently preached, and every time I have trod he has hissed! But up to this time I have used only one foot. I'm going_ to begin now to use two." This statement was received with great applause which seemed to goad Mr. Tal mage to martial enthusiasm. His eves flashed fire, his bosom heaved, his fi«ts were clenched, and stamping his foot he 'k yelled. "Come now—God helping me, I "declare a war of twenty-five years with sin and the devil, between here and my bed in Greenwood there shall not be an inch ot retreat or compromise.

When I am dead I ask not for a marble k- slab, (or a church draped in mourning nor for a funeral oration. A plain box will be enough, so only that the elders will stand here on this platform and say:

He never compromised.' Then let 5 Brother Pearson, if he is still living— (Mr. Talmage was now speaking in a voice husky with the accredited phenov- mena of emotion}—pronounce the benediction, and let the people go home."'

It took time for both the congregation '& and their pastor to recover from thcemotions these words had awakened, and fe there was a bright flutter of cambric handkerchiefs in all parts of the house.

When the parson again sjioke, h6wever, his voice had assumed its bold and man's lv tone. "I do not deny," he said, "that I mv course has been criticised by my «s brethren of the ministry. At mrfny installations of young ministers this church and I are pointed to as terrible examples.

I am told that often when clergymen over the river desire to arouse their sleepy congregations a most effectual method is found in pointing a thumb over in this directiDn with a word of abuse for Tal mage. The three complimentary terms that ate mc6t commonly applied are, I beiieve, 'mountebank,' 'sensationalism' and

4buf-

foonry.' I think you will not deny that I have this advantage over my clerical brethren—I never assault them. The dear souls—I wish them all good fortune *8^ and prosperity. I wish evtrv one of Ap them a large audience, a $15,000 salary, a house full of children and heaven to boot.

'$5

I'm too busy fighting the devil to stop and stab any of the soldiers on mv side I might perhaps answer some of these ministers with the same acrimony that they have shown towards me. But would that advance Christianity suppose that in a war of words 1 might be their equal—(drawing himself up with a little unconscious gesture of pride)—for nobody has ever accused me of any lack of vocabulary but could it advance the cause of Christ Another and belter way is to give them some kindly advice.' So, my clerical critics, let me advise vou that vou never buiU yourself up by trying to pull anybody

down. (Applause.) You fail in two w&ys: You don't build yourself up, and you don't pull him down. We have very large audiences h^re each Sabbath, and these people know that I never give any but good advice. My dear, critical brethren of the pulpit, why assault all these people, as you do when you assault me? Every man to his work. You are metaphysical and can drive people into heaven by raising a great fog here on earth. Very well—do it. You are anecdotal and can chain souls with your beautiful stories. Go ahead. You are best fitted for pastorial visiting. Very well, go on. The Lord be with you when vou go to take tea with the old iadies. Hold the children on your lap and tell them how much they look like their parents. Stay all the evening and if it is raining stay all night. Every man to his work. God prosper you, my clerical friends, and put a blessing in your hat and a blessing around you and a blessing under you, till you mount into heaven, when I appoint a meeting with you on the right sid£ of the river to ta'lk our ministries on earth."

Mr. Talmage here paused for breath, and then added in a milder tone: ''But during these *en years of my ministry here I have not only received the criticism of the World, but much of misrepresentation. Lies have been told about me—lies, LIES LIE S! I once came to New York from Philadelphia to ncarry a couple. The ceremony was performed at the Fifth Avenue Hotel. For some reason or other, the newly married pair started off upon their wedding trip in a balloon, ascending from Central Park in the presence of 5,000 people. A week afterwards it was howled through the country that I had belittled the holy ordinance of matrimony by uniting a couple in the clouds. At one of our May

happy before m. and

w.th a Christ-

ing happy mas star of evergreens handging over my head, I said 'Boys, I feel like a morn ing star.' Now, it happened that this was the refrain of some negro song, and a member of a neighboring church who chanced to hear of it wrote to a religious paper saying I had quoted two or three verses of 'Shoo Fly* from the pulpit, and that 'Shoo Fly* was sung by our Sunday-school each Sab bath. A religious paper in Maine re cently published the statement that on several occasions I had appeared in the pulpit in war-paint and with an Indian's dress about me, whereupon several cler gymen bemoan in the columns of that paper the degeneracy and abuse of the pulpit, and ask piteously 'Is there no way to stop this man?' Why do I 6tate these ridiculous tales? I& it to stop them? Ah, no. I don't want, to stop them. They make things spicy. I long since abuse to Christian

learned to harness work." Mr Talmage then repeated his

customary thanks to the press of America

nAA

He would pay $ no to any responsible witness who in the future would give him the name of any responsible person who dared to utter this libel again.

Next Sunday Mr. Talmage will preach sermon entitled "Sensationalism vs. Stupidity." vm-

TWO RICH COUNTRIESH .From the New York Tribune. The wealth of the two rich countries of Europe—France and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland—has

been

the subject of two very interesting papers recently published, one in Londen, the other in Paris. The French paper places the value of the total public property of that nation at $3,000, 000,000, which includes public highway local public buildings, insitutions and the propesty of the State—that is the palces, the offices of the several ministries, with all their appurtenances, and the navy, but not the reconstructed war material, as to with the author thinks best to give nb information, and not the paintings,statues, and other object of art in the Louvre and elsewhere, which of course cannot be valued. The estimate for the corresponding items in the Unit ed Kingdom is $,2,000,000,000. Of pri vat property in Fra.ice a total is given of

$43,110,609,000.

lie property, give as the gross total the capital"value of all kinds of French wealth, public and private, $46,110, 600, 000, against a gross total tor the United Kingdom of $42,500,000,000, from which appears that France is the richest country by $3,610,600,000. It is noted that the value of realty in France far exceeds the value in England, while personalty in England is far more valuable than in France. In discussing these figures The Saturday Review points out that certain items—as the value of highways ($1,525,-

From the New York World. New York is now in the middle of the terrapin season, which practically begins the 1st of October and substantially lasts till the 1st of March. A World reporter learned from Middleton Sc Carman, of Fulton Market, that terrapin are particularly various in looks, price, and quality. The terrapin caught in the Chesapeake Bay, along the shore of Virginia and on Long Island are considered the best and brin? the highest prices. Then there are a number sent from Wilmington to Galveston. Terrapin that come from the extreme south art not as tender and well flavored as those from Virginia and Maryland. 7J*'V -4

THE TERRE HAUTE WEEKLY GAZETTE.

Stew,

TheJSouthern terrapin is^kept in pens or "farms." A "farm" is arranged in this wa There is first fenced off a piece of land, sometimes eight or ten acres in extent. It is low or swampy land that tide can overflow at high water. This enclosure is stocked with terrapin in the spring time, and they are kept there till November, when they are taken out and shipped north to dealers. A terrapin confined in this way is unable to get its natural food, and so loses much of that delicacy which is prized by lovers of terrapin.

The diamond-backed terrapin are the best. The Gopher, or Slicur, of South Carolina, is unfit to eat, and is esteemed only for its eggs. The fresh-water terrapin, or "red-bellies," are also principally prized for their eggs. What are known as "bulls," or male terrapin, are used chiefly for soups. There is this remarkable circumstance about the preservation of terrapin—bv packing a number of them not too closely, in dry salt-hay -and in an even temperature of about forty degrees, thev can be kept without food from November to the following April, and when then taken out will be found in better condition than when they were put in. Baltimore, where they bring in the markets from $20 to $26 a dozen for the best diamond-backs, is the greatest consumer of terripin. Terrapin measuring six inches or over on the lower and sell by the iess than six make the

readers. "But while," he added, in concluding his discourse, "some of these falsehoods may have excited your mirth, there is one that is different, because it invades the sdnctity of my home. It has been stated that'sixteen years ago I went sailing upon the Schuylkill River with my wife and her sister, and that I allowed my wife to drown while I saved her sister, marrying her in sixty days afterwards. I propose to nail this infamous lie on the forehead of every man who shall utter it, and I invoke the law to aid me." Mr. Talmage then read from a piper which he had prepared a complete account of the unfortunate catastrophe on the Schuylkill. He was in a boat with his wife and'child, iiis own sister and her child. Knowing nothing of the dam they were swept over it and the boat was upset. His wife was instantly sucked under by the stiong current. His sister, the two children and himself were saved by clinging to the gunwale of the boot. At the time this sad accident occurred he had never 6een or heard of his present wife, and was introduced to her for the first time nine months later by his brother

dozen," and of those measuring les6 than five inches twenty-four or forty-eight to sixty make what is still called the dozen according to size. Male terrapin are small and tough. They are sold by the hundred and not bv the dozen. It is the female terrapin that is tender. The diamond-baclcs bring in this city from $15 to $25 a dozen. Terrapin from South Carolina and Geo.gia run from $S to $10 dozen.

Mr. Benjamin West, who is said to be descendant of the great painter, has a farge terrapin farm at Pleasure Bay, hich he 6tocks with three or four thousand terrapin every summer. He has tried the experiment of hatching the eggs by artificial means, but it was practically a failure. He hatched about twenty-five hundred after a great deal of trouble, but found to his dismay that these artificially incubated terrapin "would not grow to any size.

Terrapin are caught in various ways. Sometimes they bury themselves in the mud in the first par. of November with the instinctive notion of remaining there all winter. In springtime men go around with long poles armed at the ends with hooks,' and, searching for the breathingholes in the mud, poke in at them until they pull out Master Terrapin. Later in the 6eason, when the terrapin come out in Urge numbers, they are caught in seine-nets and caught in"this way they are considered superior to all^ others. After April terrapin get stringy and tough.

The late Charles Smith was for many years considered the most expert "terrapiner" in the South. He waR known to eo to one of the "beds" just after the unfortunate terrapin had gone into winter quarters, and fire a cannon close to the water over their hiding-place. This brought them all out and set them swimming frantically around, and the nets soon gathered them in.

In New York the best customers of the dealers are the different clubs and hotels Pinard, the caterer, buys more than any one else in the city. Delmonico comes next. The private families of Philadelphia and Baltimore are greater patrons of the terrapin than New York families. The demand has, however, increased considerably among housekeepers in the last year or two.

Terrapin is a simple dish to cook, and ^etis very seldom cooked^ well. The main error consists in allowing the mix ture to boil too quickly. It should slowly simmer, and that operation makes it perfectly tender, and soft. Those who ire celebrated for their success in this department of their art guard the secret of "timing the simmer" with zealous care. It is said tint "seconds" and "heats" are to be calculated with the nicety of logarithms. "Charles Lamb," began one of Pin ard's dramatic guests when addressed by

the World reporter, "has inl an Elia essay written up the ecstacy o* 'the Chinaman who first tasted roast pig in the embers of bis hut and Fred Ccl zzens em balmed in sweet rhetoric thet delights of the first oyster-eating Indian ra unter from the Mohawk who first paddled! a canoe in Prince's Bay and some dayr' when the Shaughran stops running I shit ill try and write ap the joy of the first Ej iglishman who tasted terrapin stew. But concocting this is like writing a play-4 -each 6tep in the composition must regulai? ly lead up to the next one, and each step necessarily depends upon the harmonioii whole. One bit of superfluity mars this, harmonious whole. Everybody thinks he or she can write a play. Every caterd or cook thinks he knows all about terraa in stew. But terrapin cooks like Sheridan t's are almost as rare as the American I the that imparts its beauty to only one 1 :entury."

Colonel Forney, when recentl interviewed by one ot his own repo rters on terrapin,told this story:

There is an old story of a 1 itranger, who visited Philadelphia with th Desi 01 introductions. The fashionable houses were opened to him. He wai 1 everywhere liked, and everybody was anxious to serve him. He would undoubte dly have carried successfully through the business which brought him here had it ot been that at a dinner given in his hone he had the misfortune to say he "deteste terrapin." From that moment tl le wind changed, and hfe went home a disappointed and isgraced man. In terrapins, as in chickens croquettes the superiority of hiladelphia is universally granted, thoujj Baltimore claims much excellence for the terrapin in "Maryland style," whfc' :h is the customary way of cooking it in Washington as well. In the capitol I on night tasted fried terrapin. It was a b] lack, un sightly, leathery object, and of coi urse was not received with favor.
