End?An Eiamyle to Prtachsrs. t On Rnndav mormn^ the Rev. T. De t """ J ? "Witt Talmage, D. D., preached on "The r Glorious Christ." His text was: "He j' that corneth from above is above all."? 1 Join iii, 31. The preacher said: The most conspicuous character of history steps out upon the platform. The finger which, diamonded with light, pointed down to hi? from the Betble* hem sky, was only a ratification of the Inger of prophecy, the finger of genealogy, the fiBger of chronology, the finger of events?all.flve fingeri pointed in - a: * V?Q one mr^CtfioQ* vmiou 10 iuv v v??^ ping figure of all time.

They might all g weil unite in tke words of ;he text and j say: "He that comoth from above is above all." t First, Christ must be above all else ia j our preaching. There are so many >. books on homiletics scattered through , the country that all laymen, as well a& ^ all clergymen, have made up their minis t what sermons ought to be. That ser ^ aon is most effectual >;hich most peint- { edly puts forth Christ as the pardon oi t all sia aud the correction of all evil?in- , dividual, social, political and national ' There is no reason why we should ling the endless changes on a few phrases. There are those who thick that if an exhortation or a discourse have frequent mention of justification, sanctification, covenant of works and cevenant of grace, that therefore it must be profoundly evangelical, while they are suspicious of a discourse which presents the same truth, but under diSerent phraseology. Now, I say there is nothing ia all the ?pulent realm of Auglo-Saxonisn of all the word treasures that we inherited from from the Latin and the Greek, aad the Indo-European, but we have a rif ht to marahal it in religious discuarion?. Christ aets the example. His illustrations were from th* cn-aca thi? flowers, the spittle, the salve, the barn- . yard fowl, the crystals of salt, as well j as from the seas and the stars; and we < do not propose in our Sunday school ' teaching and in our pulpit address to be > put oh the limits. 1 I know that there is a great deal said " in our day against words, as though : they were nothing. They may be mis- , used, but they have an imperial power. , They are the bridge between soul and ; aoul, between Almighty Qod and the ( race. What did God write upon ] Btaijlg?^i??tone? Words.

Of course, thought is \ the cargo and words are only the ship: ? but how fast would our cargo get on D without the Bhip? What you need, my ^ friends, in all your work, in your Sab- t baih school class, in your xefcrmatory T institutions, and what we all Q?ed is to f nlarge our vocahulary when we come to ^ speak about God and Christ and heaven. t We ride a few old words to death w len j, there is such a? illimitable resources, j Shakespere employed 15,000 different , words for dramatic purposes; Milton a employed 8,000 different/ words for po- t etic purposes; Rufus Choate employed n over 11,000 different words for legal purposes; but the most of us have le?s t than 1.000 words that ws can manage, t lets than 500, and that make3 us so stu- $ pid. t Whe? we come to set fortk the love of t ? Christ we are going to tak? the tendereat ^ phraseology whenever we find it, and i! ^ it has never been used in that direction g before, all the more shall we use it. j. When we come to speak of the filory of i, Christ, tbe Conquerer, we are going to j, draw our similes from triumphal arch and oratorio, and everything grand and i stupendous. The French navy have t eighteen flags by which they give sig- ^ nals, but those eighteen flags they c?n put into sixty-3ix thousand different f combinations. , And I have to tell you that these ? standards of the cross may be lifted into a combinations infinite and varieties eve> t lasting. And let me say to thofe youDg ^ men who come frcm the theologrieal semi- h nariea into our services every Sabbath, j and are after a while going to preach j Jesus Cbrist, you will have the largest t liberty and unlimited reiources. You [ only have to present Christ in your own ^ way. u Jonathan Edwards preached Christ in 0 the severest argument ever penned, and ^ John Bunyan preached Christ in the sub a limes allegory ever composed. Edward g PaysoD, sick and exhausted, leaned up ^ against the side of the pulpit and wept ^ out his discourse, whila Georgo Whit- , field, with the manner and the voice and rj the art of an actor, overwhelmed his ti auditory. It would have been a differ- a ent thing if Jonathan Eawards had trieC 0 to write and dream about the pilgrim's t] progress to the celastial city, or John j Bunyan had attempted an essay on the u human will. ^ Brighter than the light, fresher than ^ the fountains, deeper than the seas, are 0 all these Gospel themes. Song has no melody, flowers have no sweetness, sun- ? set sky no color compared with these glorious th*mes. These harvests of grace spring up quicker than we can sickle r< them. Kindling pulpits with their fire, and producing revolutions with their t! power, lighting up dying b?ds with their d glory, they are the sweetest thought for ti the poet, and they are the most thrilling w illustration for the orator, and they offer >t the most internes scene for the artist, and w they are to the ambassador of the sky all b< enthusiasm. Complete pardon for direst ti guilt. Sweetest coaafort for ghastliest agony. Brightwt hope for grimmest T death. Grandest resurrection for darkest tl sepulcher.

Remarkable Nerve Exhibited By tl Youngest Victim of the GuUlotine.

[ The reporter approached the gentl man, who gave his name as Geor< i Herbillon, a well known Parisian jou . nalist. He left Paris about ten da; ; ago. : "Yes; I have witnessed a stran< ; sight, and one I don't care about seeir . again," he said, with a strong forei| accent. He then related the incident. I l had seen the guillotining, about tv ? weeks ago, at Paris, of the younge person who had fallen a victim to tl [ grim ax in Paris since the Jb rench Jtce i oluUon. It was a boy of 18 who had suffer* , the awfuipunishment. His name w; \ Georges Henri Kaps. He had murde [ ed his sweetheart in May last. At tl trial for this crime it was shown th ' young, beardless Kaps.at the age of 1 had assassinated an old man in a da; side street. When arrested for this last murde boy though he was, ho threatened 1 * guards w'jth death. "I have seen many persons die said M. Herbillou. 4'I was in the cor i mune in '71 and at the executions aft* 5 it, but I never saw anything so distres : ing as the end of this young murdere ! "He was only a boy fit still for ' mother's caressing," went on M.

Catching sight of tl r deadwagon that was soon to car J away his lifeless body he smiled visibl -p Standing beneath the glitterii Ktr4|e, the priest extended the crucif t.o th?\hny1s lips, but he turned asi< nis head* " Tbe victim s manner wvas so nar that a movement of pity macfe a mu mur in the little throng as the execx tioners forced him back and laid h: neck in the fatal groove, "As he lay for a second before tb blade dropped," said Mr. Herbilloi "I caught a lingering smile upon h: lips. "Then I turned away," he said, "an the sound of the falling knife ws heard. The boy died more like m idea of a Christian martyr than any or I ever saw die." Ibseniana. Ibsen lives in Munich, and he is very peaceable man. Eyery eveain at the same hour, he walks alone, wit slow steps, up and down Maxmilia: street. Punctually, and ever repeal ing itself, this promenade takes place In the "Haxmillan" he sits alone, mc tiomess, always at tne same taoie, 10 about an hour, before him is a glass c beer, sometimes accompanied by a lit tie glass of cognac. Thoughtfully th keen eyes gaze through the spectacle straight ahead; the thin lips remaii closed, for he is rarely addressed. Hi acquaintances?of whom he has nc many?remember well a remark h once made with the friendly look of man who means no harm and sirapl 6ays what he thinks: "I like to b alone." Should he nevertheless be en gaged in conversation, he we will hare ly say anything that some one els might not also say. He likes to hea everything new; especially facts rathe than thoughts. He never talks abor his own works nnless some one else ic troduces the subject, and then onl with miserly words, and even thes soon cease. When Frederike Gossmann had re cited "Nora" to him in his own house the variety of opinions about the pla; was mentioned. "They make a sense less objection," Ibsen declared, m hi labored, halting German, "who main tain that I have said a woman shall o may not leave her husband and chi] dren. I have not said at ail what an; woman may or shali not do. I hav spoken only of one woman. Of m; Nora. Of this single woman. I hav asked myself: What will this woma: here do according to her nature? An< I thought to myself: She will not g away. Another one perhaps wouL have done something else." In the last act of the "Wild Duck' he srave the stasre directions concern ing the -winter forenoon after due con siaeration. "On a clear summer aftei noon Hedwig perhaps would not hav shot herself. One feels different! when one stands in a room or on meadow between hills. Before dinne and after dinner?that is a great diffei ence.

C., Feb. 20.?The col| or ([nesti-m in the Episcopal Church in thu diocese has copped out again. For over one hundred years the diocesan convention whenever held in Charleston has always met in St. Philip's church. At the last convention which was held in Aiken, it wa=? decided that the convention of 1890 should meet in St. I Philin'a church in Charleston. It is now announced that the convention will be held in another church, the congregation of St. Philip's having notified tne tBisnop that they will not permit the convention to meet in their church. The delegates of St. Philip's are the leaders ia the opposition to the admission of the colored clergy and led the dis&easion in the convention several years ago. The collorcj question is expected to turn up again in the convention. Burned to Death.

We bave recently seen a printed letter go-ten out by an Alliaace man who wants office. It sets forth in gocd style b;s fitness for the position and gives what be conceives to h? ?Htt ! -- ? * *. UJ *?V J should be supported. This thing, taken aside from the man's connection with the Alliance, would not cause any comment upon our part, but when men try to use the Alliance as a stepping stone to office, we most seriously object. The aspirant is not in any way connected UU iU - Ct.i- 111- ~ wuu luc cuate Alliance, eitber as an otti-1 cer or as a committeman, and does Dot I aspire to be governor, bxit be wants a position of public trust, and bis printed letteis give the name of the Alliance to which he belongs. If a man wants the nomination cf th-2 Democratic party we want to see him seek it as a Democrat, but not endeavor to constitute himself an Alliance candidate, and send his printed campaign circulars to different Alliance men of prominence, seeking their endorsement which he in turn would add tn hie ^am. i paigo literature. If a brother is so well koown and his fitness for a position 19 so evident that the people throughout the State want him to serve them, be will not have to send out letters to the order telling them who he is and how he is needed in office. These of our brethren who are now or ever expect to indulge in that ktnd of policy will find that they have made a great mistake. Simply being an Alliance man does not fit one for office any more than it unfits him for it. The order will r-lways condemn such attempts to use its influence. That is the kind cf nolitina we ar* to fear.?South em Alliance. Is"cgro?? in New York. A young real estate tasa who has charge of the renting of a good deal of property tells me that pe would rather have colored people k'r tenants than any other class.

Colored people, the real estate men have just begun to realize, are i very desirable sort of tenants. They Bad it so difficult to secure good quarters in this city that when once settled they remain for an iadefinte period They pay promptly, complain little and give infinitely less trouble to their landlords than do any other race of people. I am told they are charged on an average 10 per cent, more than white people are, but they make no protest. The only objection real estate men have to renting buildings to colored people is that they are never able to get white tenants to occupy the apartments after wards.?N. T. Letter. A Pointed Incident. The Washington correspondent of the Atlanta Constitution says: It is conceded on all hands that Thomas Brackett Reed is the House of Representatives, that he is the only member, and that the others who hold seats are merely honorary members. An incident showing this was when the clerk of .the House went to the kJCUdlV/ UUIO JLUWl Ullli^ YVlfLL a UU HJIl Ui bills that had been passed by the House. Either inadvertently or premeditatedly, as the clerk was introduced, and placed the bills in the hands of, the secretary of the Senate, he said: "Mr. President, I am instructed by the House of Representatives to inform the Senate that the Speaker of the House has passed the following bills." The dignified Senators were quick to detect the error, and laughed heartily. Some one on the Democratic side was heard to say: "So the Speaker passes all the bills in the House, does he?"

There is a gang of a dozen negro politicians here from that State, and they are raising much of a rumpus. They say there are 140,0 )0 colored voters in North Carolina, and they have not a single office. They send the only negro to Congress in that body, yet he cannot get an office for a constituent above a job as laborer to haul wood or clean spittoons. They swear that although Harrison made a dicker with some of the white Republicans in the Tar Heel State, giving them the control of patronage for the promise of a solid Harrison delegation in '92, the negro vote of North Carolina will be cast against him, and the delegates will go instructed for another man. Harassed by Incendiaries. Raleigh, N. C., Feb. 20.?The people of Rocky Mount, a town just north of Wilmington, are in a state of indignation and alarm, by reason of repeated incendiary fires.
