With . swollen ankles and sore muscles of the legs, and^bruised heel and stiff joints and panting lungs and faint head,' along the roads and where there were no roads at all Jesus walked. We tried to get a new horse other than that on which we had ridden on the journey to the Dead sea, for he had finite whi>Vi our r-lnse ;icouaintance ship had developed. But after some; experimenting with other quadrupeds of that species, ami finding that all horses, like their riders, have faults we concluded to choose a saddle on that beast whose faults we were most prepared to pity Or resist. We rode down through the valley and then up on Moun: Scopus and, as our dragoman tells us that this is the last opportunity we shall have of looking at Jerusalem, we turn our horse's head toward the city and take a long, sad and thrilling loot at the religious capital of our planet. This is the most impressive Yiew of the most tremendous city of ' all time. On and around this hill the armies of the *crusaders at the first sight of the city threw themselves on their faces in worship. Here most 01 me uesiegmg armies encamped the night before opening their volleys of death against Jerusalem. Our "last look ! Farewell, Mount Zion, Mount Moriah, Mount of Olives, Mount Calvary!

Our last look, like our first look, an agitation of body, mind and soul indescribable. THE CORPSE CUT INTO TWELVE PIECES. And now, like l^/.ekiel in my text, I iift up mine eyes the way toward the north. 2s ear here was one of the worst tragedies of the ages mentioned in trie i isaBible.

As I say that from thej darkest midnight of the century Kizpah turns upon me and cries: "How dare you tell me to go home? I am a j mother. I am not tired. You might! as well expect God to get tired as for a mother to get tired. I cared for those boys when they lay on my breast in infancy. and I will not forsake them now that they are dead. Interrupt me not. There stoops an eagle that I must drive back with my agonized cry. There is a pamner 1 must ueai uacs rmn my r club." Do you know what that scene by our' roadside in Palestine makes me think of? It is no unusual scene. Right here in these three cities by the American sea coast there are a thousand cases this moment worse than that. Mothers watching boys that the rum saloon, that annex of hell, has gibbeted in a living death. Boys hung in chains of evil habit they* cannot break. The father may go to sleep after waiting until 12 o'clock at night for the ruineB boy to come home and, giving it up, he may say. "Mother, come to bed; there's j no "use" sitting up anr longer." But mother will not go to bed. It is 1 o'clock in the morning. It is half-past 1. It is 2 o'clock. It is half-past 2 when he comes staggering through the hall. Do you say that young: man Is yet alivey No; he is dead. Dead to 'his father's entreaties. Dead to his mothers prayers. Dead to the family altar where he was reared.

They described him, saying. *'IIe is 12 years old, and of light complexion and blue eyes. A lost child!" Great excitement in all the crowd. Nothing so stirs folks as the news that a child is lost. I shall not forget the scene when, in a great outdoor meeting, I was preaching, and some one stepped on the platform and said that a child was lost. We went on with the religious service, but all our minds were on the lost child. .aicei it wiiwe ct lluiu muugi.it, ull inc platform a beautiful little tot that looked like a piece of heaven dropped down, and said, "Here is that child." And I forgot all that I was preaching about, and lifted the child to my shoulder and said, "IHre is the lost child, and the mother will come and get her right away, or I will take her home and add her to"my own brood!" And some cried and some snouted, and amid all that crowd I instantly detected the \ mother. Everybody had to get out i of her way or be walked over. Hats ( were nothing and shoulders were noth- < ing and heads were nothing in her pathway, and I realized something of \ what must have been Mary's anxiety ] when she lost Jesus, and what her i gladness when she found her boy in < the temple of Jcrusalum talking with i those old ministers of religion, Sham- ] mai, Ilillel and Betirah. i A CHRISTIAN WOMAN'S I'itAYEIl.

The robber heard her prayer and was overwhelmed and entered the cabin and knelt beside her and began to pray. lie had cjrae to s rob that house, but the prayer of that 5 woman for the prodigals reminded lnm 1 of his mother and her prayers before ! he became a vagabound, and from that 1 hour he began a new life. Years after that woman was in a city in a great audience, and the orator who came on the platform and plead gloriously for ( righteousness and God was the man ] who many years before had looked into { the cabin on the prairies as a robber. ( The speaker and the auditor immedi- ( ately recognized each other.

It is already getting so dark that we have to give up all idea of guiding the horses, and leave them to their own sagacity. We ride down amid mud cabins "and into ravines, where the hordes leap from depth to depth, rocks below rocks, rocks under rocks. Whoa! Whoa! We dismount in this place, memorable for many things in Bible history, the two more prominent a theological seminary, j where cf old they made ministers, and j i'or -Jacob's dream. The students of j Ujis Bethel Theological seminary were ! \ ^Lled "sons of the prophets."

Vet ! the neoDle of those laods have a way of I drawing their outer garment up over their head and race, and such a pillow I suppose Jacob had under his head. The plural was used in the Bible story, and you find it was not a pillow of stone, I suppose, so that if one proved to be of uneven surface he would turn over in the night and take another stone, for with such a hard bolster he would often change in the night. Well, that night God built in Jacob's dream a long splendid ladder, the feet of it on either side of the tired pilgrim's pillow, ard the top of it mortised in the sky. ^nd bright immortals came out from fhp nf amW :inri irnlil ;ini} nilf, their shining feet on the shining rungs of the ladder, and they kept coming down and going up, a procession both ways. 1 suppose they had wings, for the Bible almost always reports them as having wings, but this was a ladder on which they used hands and feet to encourage all those of us who have no wings to climb, and encouraging us to believe that if we will use what we have God will provide a way. and if we will employ the hand und the foot he will furnish the ladder. Young man. do not wait for wings. Those angels folded theirs to show you wings are not necessary, Let all the people who hare hard pillows?hard for sickness, or hard for poverty, or hard for persistenceknow that a hard pillow is the landing place for angeis. They seldom descend on pillows of eiderdown. They seldom build dreams in the brain of "the one who sleeps ea#v. Thp orreat.pst dream of all time was that of St. John, with his head on the rocks Patmos, and in that vision he heard the seven trumpets sounded, and saw all the pomp of heaven in procession cherubic, seraphic, archangelic. The next most memorableand glorious dream was that of John Bunyan, his pillow the cold stone of the iloor of Bedford jail, from which he saw the celestial citv, and so many entering It he cried out in his dream, "1 wish inyseif among them." I notice that those angels, either in coming down or going up on ,j acou s ladder, took it rung by rung. They did not leap to the bottom nor jump to the top. So you are tcu rise. Faith added to faith, good deed to good deed, industry to industry, consecration to consecration, until you reach the top, rung Gradual going up from a block of granite to pillar of throne. That night at Bethel 1 stood in front of my tent and looked up, and the heavens were full of ladders, ?rst a ladder of clouds, then a ladder of stars, and all up and down the heavens wer*; angels of beauty, angels of consolation, angels of God, ascending and descending. "Surely, God is in this place," said Jacob,"and I knew it not." But tonight God is in this place and 1 know it. COUNTERFEIT MONEY. Look Well to Your Poei^ Change?You May Get Some of It. Louisville, Ivy., Nov. 6.?The starting announcement has reached this iity from the chief of the United States secret service, that this city was :hought to be flooded with counterfeit ?2 silver certificates, so perfect in mark ;hat it was almost impossible for an jxpert to detect the difference between ;hem and a real one. The letter was received by Capt. Baurer, who is ?t the lead of the department in this district. ;Yctins in accordance with the letter, L'apt. .Bauer began at once to work on the case, and in two hours he had "ound two of the bills, both of which lad been accepted as legal currency. One of the certilicates had been received by an official at the postoflice. while the other was accepted by a prominent merchant. The imitation is so complete that nothing short of the most careful scrutiny on the part of an expert can detect th 3 difference. The discovery is very important, for since two of the bills were found so soon after the search was begun, it is probable that j Dhe city is already flood4:J with the worthless money. The very fact of one ' having passed through the hands of a i postoilice official without detection, is i sufficent evidence of the cleverness of . the work, and Capt. Bauer pronounces -he counterfeit far superior to any < work that was ever dene by Miles Ogle, Lhe "King of CounterfeitersHe warns every one to observe the great?st precaution in receiving and paying ' Dut 82 silver certificates. In the letter received by Capt. Bauer, the following is said of the counter- : t'eit money : "The bill has a small, round, pink seal, and the signatures, < W. !>.

THE FARMER'S ALLIANCE AND ITS POWERFUL INFLUENCE. : The New Organization a Most Potent Factor in the Canvuis Just C'lo??il*-Ai(ii i ; inc tho Democratic Party and Antajroniztic to the Republican Machine*. i "Washington, Xov. 12.?Xo feature ; of the late election has caused more . genuine surprise and consternation in i the Republican ranks than the results ! achieved by tlr; new element in the ! politics of the country?the Farmers' i Alliance. The advent of this new party was | ! hailed with dslight by the Republican | ; leadeis. They knew Its strength would | i tin m.iinllr pnnlinpH fn thp Smith HIid I i trans-Mississippi States. Confident of J | their enormous majorities in such! States as Kansas, Nebraska and Min-j | nesota, they thought the Alliance could i j not worK them serious harm, and they ! : viewed the movement as one well cai- j : culated to break up the existing poli-! ! tical lines In the South. * At last, they j I exclaimed with one voice, a \ olitical j j force has been found which will destroy j | the Democratic solidity of the South : and which will split the Bourhon cohorts In twain. How sadly they deceived themselves the results of the recent elections fully demonstrate. While in the Southern States the Al- [ liance men, almost to a man Democrats,! went in to control Democratic prima-! ries and conventions, tneir oremren 01 the West, largely .Republicans, held aloof from the old party, and decided to j make their own nominations and go it j alone. The reason for this difference in the policy of the organization in the two sections was doubtless due to the fact that while in the South the Democratic party was already committed to many of the principles advocated by the Alliance, the iiepuoiican party in the West and elsewhere w;is committed to no single one of them. The Alliance in the South was satisfied in the main ! with Democratic policy, and only! aspired to control that party so as to j shape its legislation in certain dir?c- j tions, b?:t in the West the Alliance was ! heartily disgusted with Republican policy, and if realized that the record of the party in Congress left no hope of securing any of the desired reforms at its hands. In Alabam? the Alliance nearly succeeded in nominating the Democratic candidate for Governor. In Georgia,! South Carolina, Tennessee and Texas it did succeed in controlling the Democratic State Conventions and in placing its men at the head of the tickers, and they have been elected. In some lifteen Congressional districts In the same States Alliance Democrats secured the 1 nomination over "regulars." and in : many others, where they failed, the Democratic nominees, since elected, are J pledged to the Alliance platform, with the single exception of the sub-Treasury ; scheme. In at least two States, Georgia and Sou'.h Carolina, it-Is believed the Ailiance will control the selection of the United States Senator. The Alliance in the South has not injured the Democratic party; it has merely dominated its nominations In certain localities. -How different the result in the West! i In four Soit"s hitherto regarded as < veritable GibraIt'aTiror-ilejiuiil!c2Sis:n j the Alliance has fairly overwhelmed ; the Republican ticket. In Kansas a i Republican majority of 80,000 has either ] entirely or practically disappeared. < Five out of seven districts return Al- t liance Congressmen, and the Legisla-, j ture chosen will retire Ingalls { In Nebraska the Alliance has almost i elected the Governor, and at any rate ( has compassed the defeat of the ftepub- J lican nominee by letting in the Demo- t cratic candidate. Two Alliance men i and one Democrat are elected to Con- ? gress. The Republican party has been, ( for the time at least, obliterated. i Ill WilllC fcllt jvsyuuni/iiuj apparently elect their Governor by an apology of a plurality, they have virtually suffered defeat, for as against the two opposition parties they are in a hopeless minority, and they have, lost the five Congressmen and the Legislature. South Dakota the Alliance contested with the Republicans on equal trrms. In Michigan and Illinois the Alliance did not put a ticket for State ollicers in the field, but the organization has elected legislative candidates ami generally contributed to Republican defeat. It may hold the balance of power in the Illinois Legislature and control the election of a successor to Senator Far t-all f n uii. v Such is the outcome of the Alliance r movement in the campaign of 1800. The deductions therefrom are pertinent, t It has shown itself to be a power in f American politics, and in future elec- t t:ons it is likely to he a very important t factor. No political movement has c ever shown such at) axing vitality in \ 3uch a short space of time. t As it looks now, the Democratic party c liL-olv +n hi. tViA i m rm^l iatp hpne- ! < [iciary of the Farmer Alliance "idea." t The returns from the West show con- s clusively that united the Democracy c and the Alliance can carry nearly every \ large Western State, and eren when is running separate tickets the Alliance 1 draws so heavily from the Republicans s r.hat it jeopardizes the success of that t party in all the great agricultural States ( of the Mississippi Valley. There is no \ question that the Alliance holds the I balance of power today in Illinois, e Iowa, Michigan.

''There are ! two principal reiisons, which 1 think ; will embody the primary root of this I great revulsion of feeling. The first is i the fact that the people of Kansas are | awakening to the importance and ab i solute necessity of a pronounced posi tion on the part of the people of the north against sectionalism, l^it it was left to John J. In galls, in a speech in the senate characterized by political malice and sectional party hate, to i touch the match to the magazine, the explosion of which has culminated in the election just held. Several prominent Republicans wrote me at the time severely condemning Ingalls's course. They had been his life-long friends, both in & personal and political sense, but the> would never countenance political demagoguury as demonstrated in that speech. "A meeting was finally held in March, at Topeka, at which a resolution was passed, repudiating any mnn who would support ingalls in hi.? course-. The resolution was heartily indorsed by thousands, and led to the organization of the late movement. "Sectional agitation has serve:! the purposes of political demagogues in the north in holding the Republican party .together. When they saw the necessity of abandoning the bloody shirt racket, the 82,OX) majority stampeded and swept the state. I speak from persona] knowledge of the status nf nninion in thnt section. havine con ? ? j versed with thousands this fall, and it y> as made clear to me that n determined effort was going to be made to throw sectionalism into oblivion. I trust that the patriotic men of the south will meet these right-minded people half way. and co-operate heartily ?rith them in establishing those amicable and mutually beneficial relations which cannot but make our glorious country stronger than it has e?er been before. "The second reason lies in the wofully depressed financial rendition of the farmers of that state. Thev believe that the chief cause of all this depres{a tKfl ino? 1 onri qI -a t i nn of the past twenty-live years, ami they are going to work at the source of trouble?the national legislature. "I am informed upon good authority that there are in the state of Kansas today 10,000 sober, industrious, hardworking farmers, who are unable e*en to pay the interest on the mortgages with which their land and property are covered. They are hopelessly in debt and can only get relief in financial relorm. I was prepared to hear very i?ood news from the election, but I must say that the result has surpassed fill my p'revions anticipations."

A SECRET MARRIAGE4 llomance in lteal I.ifo?A Skeleton in the IilennerliHssett Closet. ST. Louis, mo.. .\ov. <>.?an extraordinary case has developed through the tiling of an application for a change of name by Miss Theresa JJlennerhassett. a member of the historical family of that name. The petitioner's the daughter of Kichard S. Blennerhassett, the youngest son of the Blennerhassett of Burr con spiracy fame. She states in her petition that Oct. 10.1871, at Odin, Ills., she was married to John Calvin Adams, and lived with him until November, 1871, but that at the instance of her family she kept her marriage a secret. Iler husband was killed a few weeks after the marriage, and so, still at the solicitation of her family she continued to be known as Theresa /iiennerhassett. In August, 1872, she gave birth to a female child, who was always known as Mary Blennerhassett. Petitioner says her mother and all the other members of her family are dead, save a twin brother, and her family patronymic is a historic name of which she is justly proud. Moreover, she has acquired property since her husband's death, the title of which in invested in her maidenv name of Theresa Klennerhassett. She prays the court to ha mm esitiunsu iiei icgtuiiaiiie <ia jliici- j esa Blennerhassett Adams. The storv back of this petition is romantic. Theresa Blennerhassett, in spite of the bitter opposition of her relatatives. fell in love with Adams, who was a traveler for a St. Louis business house. She went on an ostensible visit to relatives at Odin, and there met and marmied her lover, and togather they went' on a Hying trip to the East. She return- , ea to ner norae on account or tne suuden illness of her mother, and arranged with her husband to follow her in three weeks. lie did so, but was thrown from the train by an accident and killed. The world was in ignorance of the clandestine marriage, and was unfortunately kept so, even after the birth of the child. - TilSHiiT&rt was kept a secret, and Therese Blennerhassetin due time announced that she ] had adopted a little girl. Her child has grown up in ignorance of her true rela- i tion to her foster mother, and is now a beautiful girl of 18. The present pro seeding, which lay bare a family secret, J are broucrht as much to nrotect the srirl and insure her title, as they are to satisfy the mother's longings to have her le- ' ?al status delined. Theresa Blenner- ' hassett is now about fifty years old and 1 lias always been looked upon as an old maid.

The peasants thought that antichiist was descending fronrthe sky, and that the end of the world was ] Dome; women screamed, children cried, j ami all thp inhabitants were we]l-ni?h i Dut of their wits from fear. Soon from Lhe wood came the worn *n who had : been gathering mushrooms, running as fast as their legs could carry them. 'A i. bouse,' they cries "has come down from the sky with wonderful stranger* * in it!' The peasants thereupon all hid themselves in the village as best they ] sould, with the exception of a few bold 1 fellows, who took their hatchets and \ ami nrnnp.pded cautiously to < the forest. It was long before, these ; latter, who assisted to convey the appa- ] ratus to the village, could prevail upon . their fellow villagers to come out of J their hiding places. The aeronauts spent the night in this village, and in * the morning inarched back, the balloon ' oeing packed on asledfe because there { was not a wheeled vehicle in the place. At the next village, Podboria, there i was another scene. The descent of the 1 balloon had also been observed here. < and the inhabitants concluded that it, ; was a visit of holy saints from heaven.' ( So in every cottage the shrine ttemps were lit. and the peasants fell on their , knees and prayed the heavenly-visitants to favor their village also with , their presence. When, tftererore, mere appeared on the road to Podboria a sledge surrounded by a crowd, the whole village went out to meet It, and ?reat was their disappointment on learning the actual state ol' affairs.

Austin, assistant general passenger agent of the Northern Pacific Railway. St. Paul. Minnesota, was badly injured internally. These two were brought to, this eitv on the delaved train and were taken to the Good Samaritan Hospital, j A sad feature of Austin's misfortune is that he had gone to Jacksonville, Fla., to take home the body of his mother, who had recently died and her body was in the baggage car al the time of the accident. Austin was in great pain during his journey to this city, and as he moaned, he thought he was dying, and said: "I shall soon join my mother." McLean, conductor of the sleeper, was slightly injured, as was also the engineer ot the freight train. Mr E. L. Xorthrup of Elicotsville, X. Y., was a passenger in the wrecked sleeper. He arrived here to-day and said he could notaccount for the escape of any body , in the car. The engine crashed through ' it with such force that the whole car was in ruins and the sleeping passen- : ?ers were thrown" promiscuously among the debris. The delayed train reached : Cincinnati over three hours late, a little after ten o'clock to-day. REPUBLICAN REVENGE. Reducing the Wages of Democratic ^ Workmen. | Clinton", 0., November 7.?This : morning forty-seven Democrats em- ' ployed by llussell & Co, of Massillon, quit work because their wages had been j reduced 33 per cent. The wages of the Republicans were not changed, and the only reason given for reducing the Dem- ' ocrats' wages was that thev voted for : John G-.

Yesterday a large number of 1 Democrats received their cards with the [ prices revised, a cut of 33 per cent, being | uade on every article. Upon hearing it Lieutenant Govern, uWarwick could scarcely bring himself to Dclieve it. Investigating the story, he bund it to be only too true, whereupon : ie said: ' What an outrage! What a shame!

It is no secret here that the rank and file of the Republicans regard Harrison as a distinct failure in the executive chair, and now that the Democrats have apparently captured the earth, they are abusing Mr. Harrison, and are trying to throw the whole blame upon his shoulders.

One of the sweetest pieces of news that came from the west was that Row- ? ell, the chairman of the house committee on elections, had been defeated ia the 231oomington district in Illinois. Howell is one of the rankest radicals in the house, and it was he who led the deviltry that resulted in the robbery of so many seats in the present house. There is not a doubt that old Virginia and Maryland have each elected solid Democratic delegations to congress making a net gain of three in each state. The returns received here indicate that this was a bad year for the Democratic bolters and soreheads. Frank Hume trifd to beat Gen.
