Brooklyn. Feb. 1.?The deep reiigi-!
ous 1'eeling- manifested in Dr. Taimages '
congregations since his recent arous- J
lug "Appeal to Outsiders" has appar-;
ently encouraged him to continue!
preach:::2 distinctively evangelistic;
sermons. To-dav he delivered another i
discourse of the same gospel type, both j
at the mornins: service in the Academy
of Music. :r. this city, uiiii at The j
^uristian Ilerald service at night in
the Xew York Academy of Music, ilis
text was taken from Mark x. 21: "One
thin? thou lackest."
The young man of the text was a j
splendid nature. "Wefall in love with j
him at the first glance. IIo was ami- j
able and frank and earnest and educat-1
ed and relined and respectable and i
moral, and yet he was not a Christian, j
And so Christ addresses him in the |
words that I have read to you, "One j
thing: thou lackest. I suppose that
that text was no 'more appropriate to
the young man of whom 1 have spoken
than it is appropriate to a great multitude
of people in this audience. There
are many things in which you are not
lacking. For instance, you are not.
lacking in a good home. It is perhaps
no more than an hour ago that you
closeu the door, returning to see whether
it was well fastened, of oue of the
best homes in this city. The younger
children of the house already asleep^
the older ones, hearing yor.r returning ;
footsteps, will rush to the door to meet j
, }ou. And in Licse winte^eyenin^s j

teei that you have a goou homo.
Neither are you ;aciiing In tue remie- j
ments and courtesies ci iiie. You un- j
derstand tiie toliie phraseology or in-1
vitation, regard and apology. You I
nave on appropriate appare:. i suau ;
wear no belter dress at the wedding j
ifcan when i come to the marriage ot'
lh& king's son. If I am well clothed.
vii other occasions i will be so in a religious
audience. However reckless I
may be about my personal appearance
as other times, when 1 come into a
consecrated assemblage i shall haveou
the test aress I haveT Wo all understand
the proprieties of every day life
and the proprieties of Sabbath lif*.
JN either are you lacking in worldly
success, l'ou have not made as much
money as you would nice to make, out
you have an income. While others are
raise when they say they have no income,
or are making no money, you
have never told that falsenood. You
have had a livelihood, or you have failen
upon old resources, which is just the
same thiDg, for God is just as good to
us when he takes care of us by a sur-!
plus of the past as by present success. 1
'While there are thousands of men with [
hunger tearing at the throat vrith the j
strength of a tiger's paw. not one of |
. you. is hungry. Xeither are you lack- j
mg m pleasant friendship. You have '
real good friends. If the" scarlet fever ;
should come to-night to your house you |
know very well "who would come in I
and sit up with ;the sick one; or, if i
death should come, you know who!
would come in and take your hand i
light in theirs with that peculiar grip ;
which means "111 stand by you," and, i
after the life has fled from the loved |
one, take you by the arm and lead yen
into the next room, and while you are
gone to Greenwood they would"stay in
the house and put aside the garments
and the playthings that might bring
to your mind tco severely your great
loss. Friends ? Yoa all have friends.
Neither are you lacking in year admiration
of 'the Christian religion.
There is nothing that makes you so
angry as to have a man malign Christ.
You get red in the face, and you say,
'.fir, 1 want you ro understand that
thonch 1 nm nnf. mr^lf r> rhrtetian. T !
Uon'c like such things said as that in
my store/' and the man goes oil, giving
yo*u a parting salutation, but you hardly
answer him. You a <5 provoked b?yond
all bounds. Man* of you have
-vusa*sssupporters of religion anil nuvo
given more to the cause ol Christ than
some who profess his faith. There is"
nothing that would please you more
than to see your son or daughter standing
at the altar of Christ, taking the
vows of the Christian.
It might be a little hard on you, and
might make you nervous and agitated
for a little wnile, but you would be
man enough to say: "j.Iy child, that is
light. Go on. I am glnd you haven't
been kept back by my example. I hope
some day to join you." You believe j
all the doctrines of religion. A man
out j-onder says, "I am a sinner." You
respond, "So am I." Some one says, "1
believe that Christ came to save the
world." You say. "So do I." Looking
at your character, at your surrounding,
I find a thousaruli things
about which to congratulate you. f.nd
yet I must tell you in the love and fear
of (Jod, and with reference to my kst
account, "One thing thou lacke?.*."
Ycu need, my friedds, in the Orst
plaoj", the element of happiness. So mo
day you reel wretched. You do noli,
know what is the matter with yen.
You say, "1 did cot sleep i;:st right.
1 think thai must be the r<Nt<on of my
restlessness;" or, "I hav;> e^ten something
that did not agree with me, and
I think that must bo the reason." And
you are unhappy. ON. my friends,
nappmess does not depend upon pnysical
condition, Some of the happiest
people I have ever known have been
those rrho have been wrapped in consumption.
or stung with neuralgia, or
burning with the slow lire of some lever."
I could call upon the aged men in
this house to testimony. There
are aged men here who tried the world,
and they tried religion, and tiiey are
willing to testify on our side. It was
not long ago tha't an aged man arose
in a praying circle and said: "JJreth_

1 appiy my subject to several classes
of people before me. First, to that
grtat multitude ofyouug people in this
house. .scm?> of these ymmg men are
::: be ardiug houses. They have but few
serial advantages. They thick that no
e:;.res for their souls. Many of
them are op ? trail salaries, and they are
erumped and bothered perpetually, and
sometimes their hear-; fails them.
Y'.jung nam, to-night at your bedroom
door on t!:c third lioer yoa will hear a
kneckin-j. 11 t?ill be the hand of Jesus
Christ, the young man's frienu, saying.
"Or.. jeung man, :ci me come ic; i win j
help thee, 1 will comfort thee. I vrill
deliver thee." Take the Bible out of
the trunk if it has been hidden away.
If you have not the courage to lay it 011
thr shelf or table, take that Bible that
was given to you by some loved one,
:ake it out of "the trunk and lay it down
on the bottom of the chair, then kneel
down beside it, and read and pray and
pray and read until all your disturbance
is gone and you feel that peace which
neither earth nor hell can rob you of.
Thv father's God, thy mother's God,
waits for thee, O young man. "Escape
for thy life!" Escapanow! "One thing
thou laekest!"
But I apply this subject to the aged
?not many here?not many in any asa

old. That is tha general rule. Here
and there an aged man in the house. I
tell you the truth. You have lived long
enough iu this world to know that it
cannot satisfy an immortal nature. 1
must talk to "you more reverentially
than I do to these other people, while
al the same time i speak with great
piiinncss. 0 fathor of the wearr step,
O mother bent down under the ailments
of life, has thy God ever forsaken thee?
Through all these years who has been
your best friend ? seventy years of food
and clothing! Oh, how many bright
mornings! How many glorious evening
hours you hare "seen! 0 father,
mother, God has been very good to you.
Do you feel it V Some of you have children
and grandchildren; the former
cheered your young lile, the latter
twine your gray locks in their tiny lino-pra
:il! th? PT.ndnMS that God
has been making piss before you produced
no change iu your feelings, and
must it be said of you, not withstanding
all this, "Oas thing thou lackest?"
Oh, if you could only feel the hand
of Christ smoothing the cares out of
wrinkled faces! Oh, if you could only
feel the warm arm of Christ steadying
your tottering steps! I lift my voice
loud 'enough to break through the
deafness of inc. ear while I cry out,
"One thing thou lackest." It was an importunate
appeal a young man made in
a prayer meeting when he rose up and
said: '*Do pray for my old father. He
is 70 years of ago. and he don't love
Christ."" That father passed a few
more steps on in life, and then he went
down. lie never ?nve any intimation
that he had chosen Jesus. It is a very
hard thing for an old man to become a
Christian. I know it is. It is so hard
a thing that it cannot be done by any
human work; but God Almighty can
qo it by his omnipotent grace; he can
bring you at the eleventh hour?at
haii-pa?: 11?at one minute of 12 he
Cun bring you to the peace and the joys
of thci glorious gospel.
I mi;?t make application of this subject
also ro those who are prospered,
ifiivc von. my friends, found that dollars
and cents are no permanent consolation
to the soul? You have large
vvorluiy resources, but have you no
treasures. no heaven? Is an embroidfeiou
piliovv" all iliat you want to put
your dying head on ? You have heart!
people all lasr, week talk about earthly
value*. Hear a plain man talk about
the heavenly. Do you not know it will
be worse for you, 0 prospered man, if
you reject Christ, and reject him finally
?that it will be worse for you than
those who had it hard in this world,
because the contrast will make th? discomfiture
so much more appalling?
As the hart bounds for the water
brooks, as the roe speeds down the hillside.
speed thou to Christ. "Escape for
thy life, iook r.ot behind thee, neither
stay thou in all the plain; escape to the
mountain lest thou be consumed."
I must make my application to another
class of persons?the poor. When
you can not pay your rent when it is
due. have you nobody but the landlord
to talk to? When the flour has gone
out of the barrel, and you have not ten
cents with which to go to the bakery,
and your children are tugging at your
dress for something to eat, have you
nothing- but the world's charities to
appeal to? When winter comes, and
there arc no cohIs. ami the ash barrels
h-ivr- no more cinders, who takes care
of } .?;:? Have yo:i nobody"but the
overseer of the poibr ? jiut I preach to
you a poor man's Christ. If you do
not have in. the winter blankets enough j

had for a pillow a "hard cross, and |
whose foot bath was the streaming:!

Oh, you poor man! Oh, you poor;

altogether. Talk it right out to hun I
to-night. Get down on your tloor and j
say: "Lord Jesus Chris't, thou wast

living eight days on out* "possum t;n a
deserted island is the outline 01 a .sensational
story related in Augusta today.
Mr. J. O'Brien, a railroad contractor,
building the Southbound Kaiiroad
from Savannah to Columbia. 's
authority who vouches lor the truth ci'
the story. O'Brien says in removing
his camps from the Middle Georgia, and
Atlantic liailroad to tlis Southbound
Railroad v:eek before last, when they
reached ii.e ferry at Stony Bluff, seventy-five
miles below August?., to cross
tiie Savannah iiiver. two mules got
lost in the woods.
Four white a)en in the p;irtv start-a
hunting for the strayed "animals.
When they got several miles off, the
river commenced rapidly rising, and
before they could return to the ierrv
the water got beyond bounds and covered
the ground several feet. The men
realized their peril, and sought refuge
on a small strip of land, which the water
completely encircled and formed a
little island, "in the heart of the dence
swamp. The four mm were forced to
remain on the island eight days, awaiting
the water to recede, which has not
yet returned within its coniines.
Eight days on an island were trials of
entwine and distress. The men were
without provisions, and no possible
means of securing i'ood. Each day
they s'.rarn out in the stream in hopes
of striking dry land that would lead
back to the starting point, but water
was everywhere. Equanimity was
destroyed."and death from starvation
stared'them m the face, for there was
no sign of a raven, and it was apprehended
among the men that in "their
craze to satisfy hunger they would finally
have to resort to cannibalism. All
they had to eat in eight days was an
'possum, which they caught in the
drift wood, and cooked by a lire on the
island.
A searching party, in boats, was
uwiwl rhits h:i.i fdansed.

and the men failed to return alter the
hunt of the mules, and found the party
lying on an island, weak from starvation,
and almost perished to death.
They were safely paddled to ^tony
Bluff, where their ravenous appetites
were satisfied.

Chicago, 111., Jan. 2(.*.?John Livingston,
president of the New York Farmers'
Alliance, was in town to-day at the
Grand Pacific. lie left Kansas yester
clay. lie went tiiere to say a gwu u ui u
for Ir.galls. lie returned because lie
was afraid of his life, the Alliance men
there having threatened him. He said
Kansas was in a state bordering on anarchy,
and lie would not be surprised if
the scenes of the French revolution were
enacted at any moment. The farmers
out there are* desperate, he says, and
r23dy for anything. Thousands of them
are beir.g sold out under foreclosure,
and this together wiih the fact that ti e
Anarchists have secured a strong foothold
in the Alliance makes the prospect!
I'or the future a ciarK one.
The feeling of the farmers against I
Ingalls is intense, and Livingstone says j
his life was threatened at Topeka as soon
as it was ascertained that he came there
to say a good word for the brilliant Sen-1
ator." Senator-elect Pel'fer, Livingstone
adds, is a physical wreck, and cannot
live manv months. The more reputable

' The truth about this matter is, that

are to induce immigration and the investment
of capital. For obvious reasons
the people of the south feel that
they will get more benefit from the fair
than any other section. They feel that
this election measure, whatever its merits
are. will be converted in a sectional
issue. They feel that sectional agitators,
both north and south, will make it a
bloody shirt issue for 1802. If this viewis
correct, as 1 believe it is, its effort will I
neutralize any effort we may make at j
Chicago to induce capitol and labor in
the southern states. It will thus not only
check tiie material progress now u?;vei-j

years to come. The views of the great!
industrial organization of the country j
are sullicientlv and unequivocally expressed
in resolutions on the subject of j

enough for any American citizen

The guano trades were"

Mr Zimmerman claimed a few days

stores would amount to about ?10,UUU,

store h~s not been closed by any of the
creditors, because thev expect to get

they are not responsible. It is an anomalous

was apparently in good helth and doing
as well as Us surroundings would admit.
The negro woman said that the

though .?he did not know what county it
was from, the name of the place is in
Clarendon county, inc woman smu
the child was given to her about tea days

answered one letter of inquiry as to how
the child was getting on. It has not yet

to be another Mammoth mine disaster
occurred here last evening m the Grand
River - oal and coke mine. Just at 0
o'clock, as the day-shit', composed of
seventy-live miners, were about to
leave te mine, a terrilie explosion occurred
arid immediately black smoke
came pouring1 out the :->ide of the mountain.
Men, women and children rushed
towards the entrance of the mine only
to be driven back !>y clouds of smoke.
Above the roar of the escaping gases
the cries of the imprisoned miners
could be plainly heard bv their wives
and children.
.^ooii willing hands braved the great
danger and started the hoisting' machinery.
relieving each other as fast as
their 'comrades became exhausted,
soon the seventy-five miners were
brouxh1- to the surface, some more dead
than alive, ana nr>ne of them any too
soon, ab the ilames immediately reached

force that it drove everybody away,
i Explosions have followed every few
hours. At 2 p. m.the excitement is-so_
| great that it is impossible to tcl! if any
i.rtf failed to sret out.
It is thought several have perished.
Had the explosion occurred when tlie
miners were at work not one would
have escaped. The mine has been on
fire several times before in the last tea
years, caused by the miners' lamps
igniting the gas, which has always
troubled them.

about fourteen years of age she was
struck in t!i^ back of tiie head with a

immediate injury was taken care of,
bat ;i short time after the girl became
completely blind in her left eye. During
:he years that followed the young
woman suffered from constantly recurring
attacks of severe headache, the
pain beginning at the seat of the early
injury, passing to the blind eye, and
then to the right eye, which also was at
times sightless. These headaches recurred
so constantly and were so painful
that insanity was feared and trie
St. Louis physicians were consulted.
They took out a portion of the bone in

Wa8iiixgtox, January 31.?Senator
Aldrich returned to Washington from
Rhode J si and this morning. During the
morning hour he ^as busily engaged
consulting a number of his Republican
i colleagues upon !he condition of the
business of the Senate, and the prospects
of a successful outcome of any lurcher
attempt^ to secure the passage of
the cloture rule and elections bill.
As already indicated :n ti;e,ae uespaicnos
it was found there wrs a pronounced
indisposition on the part of a number of
the Republican Senators a;,rain to enter
on what they regarded as a hopeless
struggle in view of the tact that the Republican
"bolters" are still presumably
{ of the same mind as they were when
they voted to lay the closure rule aside.
Consequently it may ho stated with posilivencss
thai the managers of the election
bill have linally decided to abandon
the measure, in the interest of the important
public business remaining to be '
acted on.
As a result of this decision it is conceeded
on both sides of the chamber that!

a man named Little, Staup was arraigned
for killing Alplious Giover on

!n the following December lie was
convicted after the sharpest legal battle
in the history of the country. The late
Congressman Doyle was leading counsel
for the defense. A new trial was granted,
and a second conviction followed- j
This verdict was set aside by the supreme
court, and a third trial oruered,:
but staup escaped from jail in May. Ib74, j
and has been living in the mountains j
near the Maryland line ever since. It |
was believed that Staup was allowed to j

since his escape, lie has frequently returned
to his former home ou Bearer

*taup and his son were jointly arraigned
for the crime, but his son was
never tried, and on his deathbed in 1880
he said that the rifle was in his lidnds
! when Glover was shot, and that his
father did not kill their neighbor..
The case had so fallen out of sight that
for some time Stauphas been staying at
his old home, most of the time being
sick. lie had decided to give himself
up. being confident that he could prove
his innocence. With this purpose in

his attorney, Col. A. 1). Boyd, to whom
lie submitted the evidence on which he

bring the total cost of the campaign up
to $2,000,000, a sum sufficient to have

As soon as Link saw the six men were
after him he began firing on them, having
in his posession two six-shooters,
lie shot two of the men in the arms, defied
the rest and held them at bay.
It seems that Waggoner had not been
placed in a cell, and did his shooting
from the corridor, dodging into different
apartments as lie did so. In trying to
pull open the door of a fellow prisoner's
cell the latter caught the door with one
hand to keep him out, when Waggoner
drew a knife and cut olf the man's lingers.
The sheriff says when placed in jail he
was scearched and no weapons were discovered
about him, and it is supposed
his friends have since furnished him
with arms.
