The Bev. T. De Wilt Talmage, D. fj
D., of Brooklyn, preached in London,
Sunday, taking for his text Acts rvi, *
31: "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, ^
and thou shalt be saved/' He said: *
Jails are dark, dull, damp, loathsome v
places even now; but were worse in the c
apostolic times. I imagine to-day we ?
are standing in the Philippian dungeon. t
Do you feel the chill? Do you hear the v
groan of those incarcerate ! ones v ho t
for ten years have not seen the sun- ?
light, and the deep sigh of woaieu ^
whf remember their father's house, j
and mourn over their wasted estates? <
Listen again. It is the cough of a con- i
gumptive, or the struggle 01 one iu a i
nightmare of a great horror. You lis- 1
ten again, and hear a culprit, his chains <
ntftleing as he rolls over in his dreams
and you say: ;'God pity the prisoner." But
there is another sound in thai ]
prison. It is a song of joy and glad- :
ness What a place to sing in! The ?
music comes winding through the cor- i
ridors 01 the prison and in all the dark
wards the whisper is heard: What's
thai? What's that." It is the song of
Paul ?nd Silas. They cannot sieep
They have been badly whipped. The
long gashes on their backs are bleed"
ingyet. They lie flat on the c^ld
ground, their feet fast in wooden sockets,
and of course they cannot s=eep.
But they can sing. Jailer, wha? are
you doing with these peopi*Why
Lave they been put in here? O, they
have been trying to make the world
b?iter. Is it that? That is aii A pit
for Joseph. A lion's cave for Daniel
A blazing furnace for Sbadrach. Clubs
for John Wesley. An anathema for
Philip Melancthon. A dungeon for
Paul and Silas. But while we are
stai'ding in the gloom of that Philippian^dungecn,
and we near :ae minding
voices of sob, and groan, and biasphem,
and hallelujah, suddenly an
earthquake! The iron b^rs of the
prison twists, the pillars cack off, the

rock till all the doors s^ing open, a.n'*I
the walls fall with a terrific crash. The
jailer, feeling himself responsible for
these prisoners, and leeling suicide to
be honorable?since Brutus killed
himseli, and Cato killed himself, and
Cassius killed himself?puts his sword
to his own heart, proposing with one
strong, keen thrust to put an end to his
excitement and agitation. But Paul
cried out: "Stop! Stop! Do thyself no
harm. We are all here." Then I see
the jailor running through the dust
amid the ruin of that prison, and I see
him throwing himself down at the feet
of those prisoners, cry ing out: "What
shall I do? What shall I do?', Did
Paul answer "Ge? out of this place
before there is another earthquake;
put handcuffs and hobbles on thos^
other prisoners, lest they get away?"
Not a word of that kind. Compact,
fKrHlli-nor tramAndons Answer: aaswer
memorable all through earth and
heaven: "Believe 011 the Lord Jesus
Christ, and thou shalt be saved/.
Well, we have all read of the earthquake
in Lisbon, in Limn, in Aleppo
and in Caracas; but we live in fatitude
where in all our memory there has not
been one severe volcanic disturbance.
And jet we have seen fifty eartbquakes.
Here is a man who has been building
np a large foxiune. His bid on the
? -^roS&y market waste! tin ail the cities.
He thinks he has got beyoad all annoying
rivalries in trade, and he s;iV3 to
himself. "Now I an free and safe from
all possible perturbation." But a national
panic strikes the foundation of
the commercial werld, and crash: goes
all that magnificent business establishment.
He is a man who has built up
a very beautiful home. His daughters
have come home from the seminary
with diplomas of graduation. His
sons have started in life, honest, temperate
and pure. "When the evening
lights are struck, there is a happy and
ah unbroken family circle. But there
has been an accident down at the
beech. The young man ventured too
far out in the surf. The telegraph
hurled the terror up to the city. An
earthquake struck under the foundations
of that beautiful home. The
piano closed, the curtain dropped; the
laughter hushed. Crash! go all those
domestic hopes, and prospects, and expectations.
So my friends, we have
all lelt the shaking down of some great
trouble, and there was a time when
we were as much excited as tn:s man
of the text, and we cried out as he did:
"What shall I do? What shall I do?"
The same reply that the apostle made
to him is appropriate to us: "Believe
in the Lord;Jesus Christ and thou sha.lt
be saved." There are some documents
of so little importance that you do not
care to put.any more than your last
name under them, or even your initials;
but there are some documents oi
so great importance thac you write
out your full name. So the Saviour id
some parts of theBible is called, "Lord"
and in other parts of the Bible he is
called "Jesus," and ia other parti oi
the Bible he is called ''Christ," but
that there might bo no mistake about
this passage, all three names corae in
together^'the Lord Jesus Christ."
Now, who is this. Being that you
want me to trust and believe in? Men
sometimes come to me with credentials
and certificatesfof good character; but
I cannot trust them. T^ere is some
iiJo'krti-.oa+TT in fh^ir looks that make:
UWuvmvwvj *** v ? w?
me know I shall be cheated if I con
fide in them. You cannot put your
neart's confidence in a man until you
know.whatastuffhe is made of, and am
I unreasonable this morning, when I
stop to ask you who this is that you
want me to trust in? No man would
think of venturing his l;fe on a vessel
going out to sea, that bad never beec
inspected. No, you must have the certificate
hung amidships, telling how
many tons it carries, and how long
ago it was built, and who built it, and
all about it. And you cannot oxpect
me to risk the cargo of my immortal
interests on board any craft till you tell
me what it is made of, and wb*re it
was made, and what it is When, then,
I ask you who this is you want me to
trust in, you tell me he was a very attractive
person. You tell me that the
contemporary writers describe him,
and they give the color of his eyes, and
t.^A of his hair, and thev describe
his whole appearance as bemg resplendent.
Christ did not tell the children
to come to him- "Suffer little children
to come unto me," whs not spoken
to the children; it was spoken to the
Pharisees. The children had come
without any invitation. No sooner
did Jesus appear than the little ones
pitch from "their mothers' arms, an
avalanche of beauty and love, into his
lap. "Suffer little children to come
unto me." That was addressed to the
Pharisees; not to the children. Christ
did not ask John to put his head down
on his bosom. John could not help

under the weight, and they put the

hole, and taev plunge it in,, all the
weight of his body coming down for
the first ticae on the spikes, and while
some hold the cross upright others
throw in the dirt and trample it down,
and trample it hard. 0, plant that
tree well and thoroughly, for it is to
bear fruit such as no other tree ever
hore. Why did Christ endure it'? He
could have taken those rocks, and with
them crushed his crucifiers. He could
have reached up and grasped the sword
of the omnipotent God. and with one
clean cut have tumbled them into
"Rnf. nrt he was to die. He
, pciuaiv/u. xrv*v -w,
must die. His life for my life. His
| life for your life. Ia one or the European
cities a young mau died ou the
scaffold for the crime of murder. Some
I time after, the mother of this young
man was dying, and the priest came
in, and she made confession .to the
priest that she was the murderer, and
not son; ia a moment of auger she had
struck her husband a blow that slew
him. The son came suddenly into the
room, and was washing away the
wounds and trying to resuscitate his
father when so -je one looked through
the window and saw him, and supposed
him to be the criminal. That young
man died for his own mother. You
say: ''It was wonderful that he never
exposed." But I tell you of a grander
thing. Christ, the Son of God, died
not for his mother, not for his father,
but tor his sworn enemies. 0, such a
Christ as that?so lovinar, so sellsacificing?can
you not trust Him?
) think there are many under the
spirit of God who are saying: *'I will
trust him if you will only tell me
how;'* and the great question asked
* * 1
hv thousands m tms assemblage is,
"How? how?" And while I_ans?ver
your question I look up and utter the
prayer which Rowland Hill so of-en
uttered in the midstof sermons; "Master,
help!" How are you to trust in
Christ? Just as you trust any one.
You trust your partner In business
with important things. If a commercial
house give 3rou a note payable
three months hence, you expect the
payment of that note at the end of
three months. "You have perfect confidence
in their word and in their abili
ity. You go home today. You expect
there will be food on the table.
You have confidence in that. Now I
ask you to have the same confidence
in the Lord Jesus Christ. He says:
'You believe; I take your sins," and
they are all taken away. "What!"
you say, "before i pray any more/
Btfore I read my Bible any more?
Before I cry over my sins any more?"
Yes, this, this moment! Believe with
all your heart and you are saved.
Why, Christ is only waiting to get
from you what you give to scores or
people every day. What is that?
Jonfideuce. If these people whom
you trust day by day are more worthy
than Christ, if they are more
faith ul than Christ, if they have done
more than Christ ever did, then give
them the preference; but if you really
think tnat Christ is as trustworthy as
, they are. then deal with him ss fairly.
"Oh," says some one in a light way
t4I believe that Christ was born in
Bethlehem, and I believe that he died
on the cross." Do you believe it with
you/ head or your heart? I will illu*

^Mrs. Hemans, Mrs. Sigourne.y, Dr.

said handsome things about death.
There is nothing beautiful about it.
When we stand by the white and rigid
features of those whom we love, and
they give no'answeriog pressure of the
hand, and no retunimr kiss of the lin.
we do not want anybody poetizing
around about us. Death is loathsomeness,
ar>d midnight, and the wringing
of the heart until the tendrils snap
and curl in the torture unless Christ
be with us. I confess to you to an infinite
fear, a consuming horror, of
death unless Christ be with me. I

healthy, restful sleep rarely if even
takes place when the head is full ot f
blood. *
Continuous prevention or any in- (
terference with sleep is the most far
reaching damage producer to the hu- ;
man system. Comfort and content- (
ment arc obliterated. Their attendant ,
substitutes are nervous irritability,
mental anxiety, which sooner or later,
according to the resistance power of
the individual, become idiocy, mania
or death, preceded by a painful physical
collapse. At this moment just how

exists that 10 per cent, of "Wall
street" operators are wretched sleepers
and 5 per cent, more are pronounced
victims of insomnia, who never sleep
except under exhaustion or from the
benumbing influence of some hypnotic
?it may be chloral, opium, alcohol,
sulfonal or bromides. These used in
ever increasing quantities to produce
artificial sleep must end by the dc
struction of intellectuality.
This is brought about by a constant
contraction of the bloodv vessels supplying
the brain structure, because
these hypnotic drugs primarily act
upon the great nervous centers whence
arise those nerves distributed to all
the blood vessels which are known as
the vuso-motor nerves, or governing
nerves. Under the influence of such
drugs theso nerves are either paralyzed
or over excited, and they keep up a
I /./xnctoTit. flimirmtion of the caliber of
the blood vessels, wherefore the
wholesome supply of nutrient blood is
kept from the brain, which temporarily
promote sleep, but ultimately destroy
it. What is the safe remedy for
sleeplessness? What can be done to
cure insomnia? In these two leading
questions the entire subject is considered.
Thousands of insomniacs can
trace tlaeir troubles to causes readily
remediable in the beginning.
The absence of correlation between
the brain and the stomach must be
known as a prime factor in preventing
sleep. The muscle brawn laborer rest*
infinitely better when he seeks hi*
sleep with a stomach comparatively
empty; with him sleep is that oblivion
which his slow acting brain awards
the work strained muscles. The brain
worker proper?students, professional
men and builders of fortune?rarely
sleeps soundly and regularly.

your stomachs and keep them" comparatively
full for two purposes. First,
to coax the blood current away from
a flaccid lot of blood vessels ramifying
through every nook and corner of
your brain, which is too active and
loaded with natural fullness. Secondly,
the stomach must contain food
in order to keep up a steadv supply of
that always in demand pabulum necessary
to healthy nutrition, without
which no organ can thoroughly do its
allotted work. The brain worker must
always woo sleep vfith a full stomach,
1 warm feet, cool head and quiet heart's
; action. But what if there is a tendency
to an epidemic of insomnia as
! the result of that dreadful wave of the
higher education of our boys and girls,
' offsprings of nervous parents, inherit'
ing their debilitated physical consti1
tutions, with a coadded attenuated

' now being made manifest as our

to ma raouit gum, aoout ou yarus irorn ;
town, in an open field, on T. C. Dun- ,
can's premises, found the dead body of ,
a bright mulatto girl, named Susie Fer- (
nandes. from Spartanburg, lyinp in a (
gully about three feet deep with her
throat cut. from ear to ear. The coroner
and sheriti were at once notified, who
went to the scene of the horrible deed
and summoned a jury, who are now at
work on the case and will probably
finish it by Tuesday evening. As far
as can be ascertained, it appears that
she was killed in a house occupied by
a colored woman named Lottie Mack,
in the back yard of Dr. M. A. Moore.
She had a great many bruises over her
head and face Alter killing her, the
body was redressed, as there was not
a drop of blood to be found on her
clothes. When found a dull barlow
knife was lying under her head, and
her hat, handkerchief and gold spectacles
were lying on the edge of the
gulley, thus trying to make it appear
as it she r.ad committed suicide, fche
had been missed for some five or six
days. Five arrests have been made
so far?four women and one man.
A special to the Greenville News
gives the following:
The coroner's jur}' found that the
woman, Susie Fernandes, ''came to
her death by one James Vincent,
white, and Lottie McMahon, Charlie
Gilliam and william Davis, colored."
From the facts gathered from the
testimony at tne coroner s inquest, tne |
murder is the most diabolical and cold
blooded that has ever been committed
in this county. James Vincent had
. been intimate with the deceased for
' some time, the result of which was thai;
she was expected to become a mother.
From the testimony of Wm. Davis, he
; with Charlie Gilliam, Lottie McMahori
' and James Vincent went to the cem'
etery where the body had been conveyed
after death and removed it
about a quarter of a mile, to a swamp
near Mr. T. C. Duncan's residence
: where they threw it into a ditch, dis
. arranged the clothes, placed a knife
near by, to give the impression that
t the deceased was assaulted and then
- murdered. The accused are all now
f in jail and will proceed through their
lawyer to try to get bail.

Waskinztan- Oecixisu Re^ei veH.
Special to th? News and Courier.
Washinoton, D. C., January 20.?
There was an unusually brilliant ar*
ray of legal talent from South Caroli
na in the United States tupremt
Court room today. There were attorney
General Jos. H. Earle, Messrs,
A. T. Smythe and J L. Orr, repre^
centing the State of South Carolina ir
r the famous Clemson wsll case, and Ex
j Attorney General Leroy Youmaus
? Mestrs. J. if. Carey ana Aiexanae]
- King, representing Miss Isabella Lee
? Ex-Governor ChamberlaniD, Con;
gressman Dibble and several othei
t South Carolinians were also present
- but the latter w ere not connectec
f with the Clemson case. After Chie
Justice Fullor and his associates ba<
read several decisions the Court announced
its readiness to hear appeals
for motions on behalf of the State o
South Carolina.
' Attorney General Earie presentee
certain reasons why the Ciemson cas<
? shonld be advanced upon the docke
3 for oral argument thereon. a. te;
briefly reciting the salient features o
j the case, he submitted three points u
a sustain his motion to advance:
First. That this case comes direct
r, ly within the rule which prescribe
r- that where the State is a party, th
r State has a right to submit to th<
a Court a uiotiou to advance.
Second. Thsit the ca e is one upoi
3 its own merits, of such paramoun
_ importance, not only involving Iarg<
9Ti>nnTit.a_ hat idso relating- to Jarsri
\ educational interests, and ot such bel;
efit to the people at Jarge that it de
serves the attention of the Court an<
its interposition under the ecabJinj
e statute for a speedy determination o
, the same.
!_ Third. That unless this ca.se is ad
,t vanced and disposed of so that actua
^ operations may be instituted by thi
e State bafore the 20lh of April, 1891,;
e very senous question will arise wheth
r er the State will not entirely lose tin
benefit of tue bequest.
Gen. Earle sai l that if rhe Courl re
fused to grant the motion :o advance
n he hoped permission would be granU<
n to ?abmit ihe case upon printed arguments
at the earliest practicable peri
tViQ.t. t.ht* for Ai
^ KJ^L. -L.VV, "
Lee were willing to accept this propo
sition.
Justice Miller suggested that i
would be necessary for counsel to fill
a certificate to that effect.
Mr Youmaus promptiy stated tha
s the representatives of Miss Lee *er?
willing to have t^e case advanced oi
? submit it upon printed argumen's.
Chief Justice Fuller remarked thi;
3 tbe statement of .Mr. Youmans in oper
'* Court rendered a printed certiticat*
unnecessary. The case was takea under

not be rendered until ibext Monday.
