Brooklyn. Jan. 11.?The following |
powerful sermon, addressed to non- j
church-goers, was delivered by Dr. Talmace
this morning in the Academy of!
Music, ihis city, and a^ain in the evening
at the New York Academy oi Music.
Dr. Ta!maLre's text was John X, lU:
' Other sheep I have which are not o:
this fold."
There is no monopoly in religion.
The grace of God is not a nice little pro- j
petty le&cea on an lor ourselves, j.l js
not a king's park, at which we look
through a barred gateway, wishing we
might go in and pluck the flowers and
lock at the deer and the statuary. It is
a father's orchard, and there arc bars to
letdown and gates to swing open.
Have you any idea that because you
were baptized at eight months of age.
and because you have all your life been
surrounded by hallowed intluences, you
j have a right to one whole side of the
Lord's table, spreading yourself out so
nobody else can sit there? You will
have to haul in your elbows, for there
vri'l mme a great multitude to sit at the
table and on both sides of you. Tou
are not going to hare this monopoly of
religion. "Other sheep hare I which
are not of this fold."
McDonald, the Scotchman? has on the
Scotch hills a great flock of sheep. McDonald
has four or five thousand head
of sheep. Some are browsing in "the
heather, some are on the hills, some are
valleys, a few are in the yard.
One d2^ taftieion^omes over to McDonald
and says'"McDonald, you
nave tnirty sneep. i nave ueeu cmf
Ing them." "Oh, no!" says McDonald.
"I have four or five thousand." "Ah!"
says Cameron, "you are mistaken. I
have just counted them. There are
thirty." "Why." says jjIcDonald, "do
you suppose that is all the sheep I have?
I have sheep on the distant hills and m
the vallevs, ranging and roaming everywhere*
Oth^r shp#>r> have I which are
not of this fold."
So Chris: comes. Here is a uronp of
Christians, and there is a group of Christians;
here is a Methodist fold, here is a
Presbyterian fold, here is a Baptist fold,
here is a Lutheran fold, and we make
our annual statistics, and we think w e
can tell you just how many Christians
there are in the world, how many there
are in the church, how many in all these
denominations. We aggregate them,
and we think we arc giving an intelligent
and an accurate account; but Christ
come3 "and he savs: "You have not
counted them right. There are those
Py whom you have never seen, those of
whom you have never heard. I have
my children in all parts of the earth, on
all the islands of the sea, on all the continents,
in all the mountains and 'ill all
valleys. Do you think that these few
sheep you have counted are all the sheep
I have? There is a great multitude that
no man can number. Other sheep have

Christ in my text talks of the conversion
of the Gentiles as confidently as
though they had already been converted.
He sets forth the idea that his people
rrill come frcm all parts of the earth,
from all ajes. from ali circumstances,
from all conditions. "Other sheep have
I which, are not of this fold."
In the first place I remark the Heavenly
Shepherd will find many of his

I* kinds of churches. Sometimes you will
r find a church made up only of Christians
Everything seems finished. The
church reminds you of those skeleton
plants Irom which by chemical preparation
all the areenn?ss ana the verdure
have been taken, and they are cold and
white and delicate and beautttul and finished.
All that is wanted is a glass
case put over them. The minister on
the Sabbath has only to lake an ostrich
\ feather and brush off the dust that has
accumulated in the last six days of business,
and then they are as cold and
beautilui ana delicate as betore. everything
is finished?finished sermons, finished
music, finished architeccure, finished
everything.
Another church is like an armory, the
sound of drum and fife calling more recruits
to the Lord's army. We say to
. the applicants, "Come in and get your
equipment. Here is the bath in which
! i you are to be cleansed, here is the tieimel

Again I remark, the Heavenly Shepherd
is going to lind many of his sheep
among those who are now rejecters of
Christianity. I do not know how you
came tv reject Christianity. I do not

<:ive me great happiness. Of course you
will not deny me. I want you as an
experiment to try the Christian religion.
II' it does not stand the test, discard it:
if it does, receive it.
[ If you were very sick, and you had
j beeu given up of the doctors, and I
took a bottle of medicine from my pocket
and said. "Here is medicine I am
sure will help you; it has cured fifty
people," vou would say, "Oh, 1 haven't
auy conl'dcnec in it; they tell me all

I say. "will you uot. as a matter of accommodation
to myself, just try it."
"Well," you say, "I have no objection
to trying It; if it will be any satisfaction
to you I will try it." You take it.
Now you are sick in disquietude, sick
in sin. You are not happy. You
laugh sometimes when you are miserable.
There come surges of unhappiness
over your soul that atmost swamp
you. You arc unhappy, struck* tnrougu
with unrest. Now. will you not try
this solace, this febrifuge, this anodyne,
this Gospel medicine?
"Oh," you say. '"I haven't-any faith
In it." ?AdB*^^Ltcr of accommodation
lot me introduce you to the Lord Jesus
Christ, the Great Physician. "Why."
you say, k,I haven't any faith in him."
Well, now, will you not just let him
come and try his power on your soul
Just lot mc introduce him to you. I do
not ask you to take my word for It. I
do not ask you to take the advice of
clergymen. Perhaps the clergymen
may be prejudiced; perhaps we may be
I speaking professionally; perhaps we
j may give you wrong advice; peruaps
we may give you wroug advice; perhaps
we are morbid on that subject; so I do
not ask you to take the advice of clergymen.
I ask you to take the advice of
very respectable laymen, such as William
Shakespeare, the dramatist; as
William Wilberforce, the statesman; as
Isaace Newton, the astronomer; as Robert
Boyle. tHe philospher; as Locke, the
.netaphysician; as Morse, the electrician.
These men never preached?they
j never pretended to preacn?out uiev
comc out, and putting down, one his
telescope, and another the electrician's
wire, and another the parliamentary
scroll?they come out, and they commend
Christ as a comfort to all the >eople,
a Christ that the world needs.
Xow I do not ask you to take the advice
of clergymen. Take the advice of
these laymen. It tloes not make any
ditlerence to me at ihis juncture what I
you have said against the JJible; it does
not make any difference to me at this
juncture how you may have caricatured
religion. Take the advice of men who
are prominent in secular affairs, as these
men whom I have mentioned and otucrs
who immediately occur to your mind.
{I never scoffed at skepticism. I have
been a natural skeptic. I do not know
I .v!wt thfi tirst word was that I uttered
after entering the world but i thiuk it j
oiust have been "why?"
There arc some things I bcli-ve that
you flo not. but there are some thiugs
"that 1 believe and you do believe. You
believe in love?a father's love, a mother's
love. Xow let me tell you God
loves you more than all of them to
gether, and you must come in, you will
come in. Christ looks in all tenderness,
with the infinite tenderness of the gospel,
into your soul, and he says, "This
is your time for heaven," and then he
waves his hand to the people of God,
1 1.. i.rwl,-.. linvn T vv!l5f?ll

are not of this fold."
Again I remark, the Heavenly Shepherd
is goiDg to get many of his sheep
among those who have been of evil
habit.
It outrages me to see how soon Christian
people give up the prodigal. I
hear Christian people talk as though
they thought the sjrace of Ged were a
chain of forty or fifty 1 ink^and^when
they had run outjLkerr'uiere was"nothing
to iouchilie'depth of man's iniquity.
If a man were rat hunting lor deer, and
got off the trac.c of the deer, he would
hunt amid the bushes and the brakes
longer for the lost iiame than he would
look for a lost soul.
Good Templars will uot save you, although
they are a grand institution.
Son3 of Temperance will not save vou,
although there is no better society on
earth. Signing the temperance pledge
trill not save vou, although it is a grand
thing to do. Xo one but God can save
you. Do not put your confidence in
bromide of potassium or any tiling but
what the apothecary can mix. Put
your trust in God ! After the church
has cast you oft", and the bank has cast
you off, and social circles cast you oil'.
j and father has cast you oil', and mother
has cast you oil', at your first cry for
! help God will bend clean down to that
| ditch of your iniquity to help you out.
| Oh, what a God he is! Lon<: sullcriug
and gracious!
Oh, I am so glad for that last utterance
! That was a prayer, and as soon
as you begin to pray that turns all heaven
this way, and God steps in, and he
beats back the hounds of temptation to
their kennel, and lie throws all arou-.d
the pursued soul the corert of his pardoning
mercy. 1 heard something fall.
What was iti" It was the bars around
the siieeplold, the bars of the fence
around the shecpfold. The Heavenly )

} "Other sheep have I which are not of

( God fori''*1 that any of you should
J have the 1: entaiion of the dying noI
bleman who had had every opportunity
j of salvation, but rejected all. and who
i wrote or dictated these words: "Jlefore

Gov. Tillman will not call an extra
session of the Legislature. This saves
the State an expense of over S10,0u0
which an extra session would have entailed.

Washington, J;id. 14.?According ;
10 the arrangement made yesterday the !
S-Mate proceeded to the consideration |
of the financial bill immediately after
the reading of the journal.
Ingalis took the lloor and said that]
there were two portenous evils which j

mind whether for a half century there i
had been a presidential election in this |
country that expressed the deliberate
and intelligent judgment of the whole
body of the American people. The
election bill was intended to deal with j
one part of the great evil to which he
had alluded, but it was an imperfect,
partial and incomplete remedy. Violence
was bad, but fraud was no better,
and it was more dangerous because it

verted ned,
concentrated, centralized, conscienceless
and incorporated capital, and the
people were considering that great
problem now. The conscience of the
nation was shocked at the injustice of
modern society. The moral sentiment
of mankind was aroused at the unequal
distribution of wealth and the unequal
diffusion of the burdens and the benefits
and privileges of society. We were
accustomed to speak of ours as "the
fr<?A nnrl the home of the
IU11U yjt viaN^- x 4 vv vww ?^ ?
brave," and it would soon be the home !
of the rich and the land of the slave.
It was no wonder that the laboring
and agricultural classes of this country
had at last awakened; and speculators
must take earning. Referring to the
late election, he said that it was neither
a Republican defeat nor a Democratic
victory. It was a great uprising, independent
of any, superior to both, political
parties. It; was a crisis that
might become a catastrophe. It was a
peaceful revolution. He attributed
the depression in the country in a great
mo'isuro tn thp flpmnnetization Act of
1873. lie did not claim that that Act
had been passed fraudulently. His only
explanation of its passage" was that
both houses of Congress and th8 President
had been hypnotized by the money
power. lie had not the slightest doubt
that.the great majority of the people,
irrespective of party, was in favorof.the
free coinage of silver, and had been for
the pas: fifteen years. They had been
"paltered with in a double sense," and
their will had been thwarted, defied
and contumaciously trodden under
foot.
Warnings and admonitions had been
plenty in thi* uebato; but he would say
to those who were arraying themselves
against the deliberately expressed Judgment
of the American people?he would
say to the Senate, to the House and to
the Executive?tnat tnere wouiu cuius
a time wnen people would not be trilled
tvith on this subject. Some time the
people^ would elect a IIousc of Representatives,
Senate and .President who
would carry out the party pledges and
executive the popular will. The poltieal
power of the nation had been transferred
from the circumference to the
centre, and people of that C3ntre were
unanimously demanding the free coinage
of silver. It was for that reason
he should cordially support the amendment
of the Senator from Nevada. In
doing so he would not only follow the
dictates of his own judgment, but
would carry out the wishes of the great
majority of his constituents, irrespective
of party or political affiliations.
Ingalls closed at a quarter past 12,
having spoken little over two hours.
As he took his sent he was Heartily up- j
plauded, as well from the floor as from
the densely crowded gallsries.
Jones, of Nevada, next spoke In support
of Stewart's amendment, concluding
his speech with these words: "I
believe it to be the privilege and destiny
of this republic?the evangel of human
liberty?to solve the great problem
of perfect money, the riddle which
the sphinx of civilization is forever
putting to nations. As in the case of
the enigmas of old, the failure to solve
this enigma means to be destroyed. Its
solution will be hailed with loud acclaim
wherever the foot of man treads,
wherever the heart of man beats. It
is my conviction that when the
science of money comes to be thorouhly
mastered, its true philosophy understood
and the teachings of that science I
and that philosophy practically applied
over the whole earth, more will have
been accomplished for mankind, more
to promote justice, to relieve pain, to
assuage grief, to sooth woe, to lighten
care, to brighten hope, and to bless and
consecrate human life than can be accomplished
by any other discovery or
development of civilization."
At the close of Jone's remarks it was
stated by the Vice-President that (Jibson
and Hiscock did not desire to address
the Senate except under the ten
minute rule.
The general debate haying closed,
Mr. Aldr ch offered a substitute for
Stewart's amendment, lie said his
* ? -L - A ? ? i. * t
amendment was a transcript vl me
law as it existed from 1853 to 1873. The
effect was to restore the law to what
it had been, substantially from 1834 to
1873, and identically from 1853 to 1S73.
It provided a system of charges for the
coinage of bullion, gold and silver, l'or
private parties.
Gorman was the first to speak under
the ten minute rule. In conclusion he
offered as an amendment a proposition
presented by Stewart on the 12th in-1
stant, as an alternative, providing for j
the imposition of a coinage charge on j
luretgu su v ca.
Vast. Piiunb and Eustis spoke for
1'iee silver and against the qualifying
amendments. Then Gorman and Aidrich
withdrew their amendments.
After remarks l?y lieaffan, Call an;l
Teller in favor of Stewart's amendment
and Morrill against-ir., Aldrich asked
Stewart whether his amendment would j
take from the people the common law j
right of making contracts payable in !
(Trili I

Stewart replied that tho amendment j
took away no ri<rht.
Aldricii?"Js it your intention to take I

Stewart?"I would be glad to take it j

Reagan did not know whether Con- j

could be done, it was his purpose to do
that very thing.
McPherson announced himself as bitterly
opposed to Stewart's amendment.
Ilawley also opposed the amendment.
The discussion on Stewart's amendment

by Plumb, Morgan and Cockrell.

Four I'erfwct Days.
We are told that the gods fell into a
dispute one day as to which of the four
seasons was the favorite of mankind.
Seeing no other way to bring peace from
out the bable of tongues, Jove commanded
that each season produce a masterpiece
and present the same to a quorum
of the gods.
First, spring envolved a day that shimmered
like an opal through rosy mist3
and low-lying clouds, tinted like the
plumage of a gray dove. And she bori

as they grew, until they showed the purple
of'King Solomons robes. And she
scattered it all over with touches of
green, like up-springing grass by loosened
water courses, and sprays of blossoms.
like snow when the sunshine finds
it. And she gave it the voice of a woodtlirush
in the twilight and drew over it
a veil of silver rain, shot through and
through with broken rainbows and sunllashes.
Then summer brought a day of golden
calm, above whose brow were languid
popies and blue corntlowers steeped
in sunshine. And a veil like the haze
on the far hills enveloped it. and its
voice was the noonday note of the cushat
(love, hid deep in the fields of snowy
buckwheat. And the hum of drowsy
bees was like the lullaby sons that mothers
sing to Their sleepy children, while
above "it, like a butteally that poises
above a yellow rose, was the infinite
peace of a cloudless heaven.
Next, autumn poured a crystal goblet
high with wine and placed it in the hands
of a day that laughed like a beautiful woman
and wore amethysts and topaz and

INTENSIVE FARMING.
A Yield Which Has Never Usui n J'.tr.-slItS j
in Southern Agriculture.
la me Home an<i o: .i
1st, Mr. (ieorge W. Truitt, of (Jccrgi;;.
describes tiie methods by which h<> has
produced some of the most wonderful
crops ever made in the South.
Mr. Truitt says:
"Ten years ago I bought a farm at j
ST an acre. At that time I heard a
great deal of intensive fanning and decided
that I would try ir on eighty
acres and see what merit there was
in it.
The first year I used about 13<? pounds I
of fertilizers to the acre and made only i
fourteen bales of cotton. As you will J
imagine I was not very enthusiastic j
over my crops or intensive farming i
but I decided to try it again. The next
year I used about 200 pounds of fertilivor<
tn nr-P(> ::ni! m:nln I
bales of cotton.
The next two years i sow yd the land
down in oats and turned the stubbles
under. In 1885 1 used #X) pounds oi'
fertilizers to the acre and made litty-1
two b des oi cotton, it was tisat year i,
i that I secured the iirst premium oi' j
$250. oli'erred by (Jeo. \Y. Scott's rnanu-!
facturing company for the best live I
acrts of cotton. Mv live acres yielded j
something like 7,biwj pounds of lint cot- j
ton. In 1SS<> the land made sixty bales j
of cotton. In 1887 I made seventy-two j
bales of cotton. In 1888 I made eighty j
bales, or a bale to the acre.
I used on this crop seven and one- j
half tons of acid and seven and one-1
half tons of standard guano.
T oof noo t? 1 c?iWfcn\ eivtir t Vi c? fciinrlitv !
JLJCiO ti V3CLL X OVi ?? OIA tjr v/i t*?s- v .
acies in oats; and notwithstanding it
was a poor crop year, I made thirty-live
busliels of oats per acre.
In fertilizing1 for the oats 1 used I
nothing but cotton seed, putting on I
about tnirtv bushels to the acre.
ThiSkVear 1 used ten tons of acid and j
ten ions of standard guano and 2,000
bushels of cotton seed. As 1 have already
stated sixty acres were sowed in
oats "last year and the other twenty
acres sowed in rye in November of last
year.
In December the cutaway harrowwas
run over the land that'had been
planted in oats in the month of January,
the cutaway harrow was run over
it "twice, cutting the weeds and grass
very fine.
In the month of February I laid oil
this land with a scooter plow and followed
with a right and left hand John
son wing, uirowing uui ;i wiue iuuuh.
I scattered fifty bushel of cotton seed
per acre broadcast over thirty acres.
Two weeks later I put 400 pounds of
acid per acre in the drill and listed on.
seed and acid with scooter and .Johnson
wings the remaining: thirty acres.
I fertilized at the rate of Duo pounds
of fertilizer to the acre, 300 pounds in
the drill and 100 on each side list furrows.
The twenty acres that were
sowed in rye had had forty bushels of
cotton seed to the acre put on it when
the rye was sowed. The rye was cut
fine with the cutaway harrow running
over it twice and then broke up with
square pointed scooters and laid off.
I put 200 pounds of acid with the
seed in this twenty acres, i uiu noc
cut the rye on this twenty acres until
the first week in May, when it was. as
high as my head, it was the mellowest
land I ever worked in my life. It
made as good cotton as any of the land
and saved one working.
The sixty acres lirst planted was
plowed about six times and the other
twenty acres was plowed about four
times. The whole crop was hoed
twice.
A new method I have of plowing is
to cross the rows and get. the plant the
distance I want it in the drill. If I
want thirty inches 1 run two eighteen
inch scrapers across, and when I turn
the second time, I leave a belt of six
inches to form the checks that- leaves
but little work lor tne tioe to ao. n
thirty iuches is wanted, use a thirty
inch scraper, if twenty-four inches is
wanted, use a twenty-four inch semper,
and use a short scooter set in it very
Hat.
Xow comes the result of my crop of
18'jO, the largest yield on recbr.l. 104
bales of cotton on eighty acres of land,
150 bales of cotton on 150 acres of land,
500 bushels of corn on ten a^res uf
land, 200 bushels of potato^ on one
acre of land. t

Besides corn enough to do tor the
next fifteen months and refuse cotton
seed enough to use for putting on land
next year. I can not give the cost of
this crop in detail, but fully one-half
or more of the 104 bales will be clear
profit.
My tenants this year used about ten
tons of fertilizers to three mules, and I
have made one thousand pounds 01
seed cotton to the acre. My tenants
rent seventy acres from me and will
make forty-six bales, one-half of which
I get for rental. Thus you will see
that the land which I have under cultivation
this year, 150 acres in all, will
average one bale to the acre. The seventy
acres hired to tenants for fortysix
"bales, and my eighty acres making
104 bales.
Ten years ago this whole farm could
have been bought tor ST per acre. Xow
S25 per ace lor the whole 500 acres
won't buy it, and the eighty acres
which have produced 104 bales this
year are worth 850 per acre easily. The
possibilities of our soil are simply overwhelming,
and when energy and industry
are properly applied success is
bouni to follow.
From my several years of experience
I have fully decided'that the intensive
plan is the most successful, With our
labor becoming more worthless every
year, and scarcer and less to be depended
upon with each succeeding crop it
is plain to any thinking man that the
successful farmer of the future must
be the one who gets the most to be had
out of his land in exchange for the
least amount of work, keeping in sight
the necessity of annually planting back
on the land" as much or more plant
food than the crop has taken olT of it,
so that it may be improved rather than
injured by this system ot planting.
My methods of farming for the p:?st
ten years have brought up my farm
from fourteen bales (the amount yielded
ten years ago) to 1<)4 bales this ye;ir,
and bv careful attention the wants of !
the soil enhance its value i'ro:n **ven j
dollars per acre (the amount I mid !'<>r j
it) to lifty dollars per acre, which i' is !
now easily worth.
Tlie secret of growing cotton sue- i
cessfully is due to a great extent to the j
seed. I have been improving my cot-1
ton for the past ten years, and can
have it up to the highest state of production
possible. Forty bolls will
make one pound. A common han'
can pick from 400 to 500 pounds per i
day with case.
i have been often asked how do you I
improve cotton. It is very simple and j
not very costly. I have my {rusted hands !
to go ahead of the tegular pickers and j
gather nothing but fully matured bolls
nn.i havp thmt. fririnpt! to itself and ail !
the faulty seed picked out bv hand,
which is a very tedious and slow task.
I also have cotton planted on the (InIt'
ol' Mexico every other year and mix
the seed from my crop. This has the
effect of making the cotton earlier, and
early cotton is the best, and always
commands the best price.
1 nave adopted trie system or runtting
cotton crops with peas, on lauds
rented to tenants, where it is thin, and
have found that it works well. The
amount of peas that you gather from
a crop will pay the expenses of cultiva-1

A "HATHER INDEED.
J;w<>!> lioss Takes a Cot by His Suffering
Child.
New Yokk, Jan. 9.?The rcmarkaable
and interesting surgical operation
is drawing near commotion at Manhattan
hospital. It is the grattmg ot tuo skin
ol'a father to the torn and maugled leg
of his little -1-year-old son.
The operation has been in progress
since Dec. 30th, some pieces of the skin
being taken from the father's body from
time to time and placed on the raw spot
on the boy's knee until the wound has
been almost completely covered.
The little fellow has borae the sull'ering
incidental to a painful operation with
remarkable fortitude, and his bravery,
the nurses say, is otiiy equaled by his
father's love, which has endured the torture
of having the skin cut from bis owq
quivering llesh that it might make his
boy's limb whole.
On Nov. 13, Jacob lloss was run over

left thigh was crushed and the flesh was
torn from the other side of the left knee,
leaving the hone uncovered. The wound
was lully eight inches long. The right
thigh was also fractured, indboth bones
in the right leg below the knee were
broken.
Little Jacob was taken to the hospital,
lie was very weak, and it was five days
before the doctor dared to set the right
leg in a plaster. With this difficulty
overcome, the bones began to knit, and
by Christmas day they had all knitted.
J Jut the wound in the knee was still
open and ii was evident that this wound
would not heal by any ordinary means
inn) )! ,< > snr 'pons decided that only by
grafting the skin from a health}' person
could the boy be restored.
In this emergency the boy's lather
stepped forward and offored himself lor
the experiment.
JocobRoss. >s\, then became an inmate
of the hospital, and, lying on the
cot besides his suffering boy, bared his
body to the surgeon's keen knife. Piece
by piece, bits of skin not larger than a
silver half dollar, were cui from his
thigh and placed 011 the little fellow's
knee.
Gradually the boy's llesh was covered
wioh bis father's skin and nature began
to do its work of healing.
The condition of both patients is fav
orablc. and the doctor says there is uo
doubt the operation will prove completely
successful.
