Drunkenness 5s the Topic ;tn<J This the Text, "Is'ca'i l'lanfeil a Viuoard? and lie Drank <?f tlfe Vurir a::d Was Druakeo." new YoitK.JMarch l?Dr. Talmage continued to-day the series of sermons he commencsd last Sunday on the "Ten Plagues of New York and the Adjacent Cities." The plague which he places second on the .list is intemperance, and on that subject ne discoursed this morning in the Academy of Music, Brooklyn, and this evening in New York. The text of the doctor's seirnon was taken lrom Genesis ix, 2u, 21: ''Noah planted a vineyard, and he drank of the wine and was drunken." This Noah did the lest anu the worst thing for the world. He built an ark against me ueiuge 01 water, uui iuuuduced a deluge against which the human race has ever since beta trying to build an arK?the deluge of drunkenness. in my text we h? ar his sniggering steps. ?hem and Japhet tried to cover up the disgrace, but there he is, drunk on wine at a time in the history of the world, when, to say the ieast, there was no lack of water. Inebriation, having entered the world, has nut retreated. Abigail, the iair and heroic wife,.who saved the tlocks of ZS'abal, her husband,from confiscation by invaders, goes home at night and liuds him so intoxicated she cannot tell him the story of his narrow escape. Uriah came to'see David, and David got him drunk and paved the way fur the despoliation of a household. Even the church bishops needed to be charged to be sober and not given to too mucu wine, and so familiar were people ot j JBible times with the staggering and ^ falliug motion of the inebriate that - Isaiah, when he comes to describe the X dislocation of worlds, says, "The 1 earth shall real to fro like a drunkard." Ever since apples and grapes and wheat grew the world has been tempted to unhealthful stimulants. But the ' intoxicants of the olden time were an innocent beverage, a harmless ciangeade. a quiet sirup, a peaceful soda water as compared with the liquids of modern inebriation, into which a madness, and a fury, and a gloom, and a lire, and a suicide, and a retribution have mixed and mingled, ifermenta-1 tion was always known, but it was not until a thousand years alter Christ that riisit.il 1st inn was invpnfpiL While we must confess that seine of the ancient arts have been lost, the Christian era is superior to ail others 111 the bad eminence of whisky and rum and gin. The modern drunk is a hundred fold worse than the ancient drunk. JS'oah in his intoxication became imbecile, but the victims of modern alcoholism have to j struggle with whole menageries of ^wilu beasts, and jungirs of hissing serpents, and perditions of blaspheming demons. An arch liend arrived in cur worid, v and he built an invisible caldron of temptation. lie built that caldron strong and stout for ail ages and all nations. First he squeezed into the | caldron the juices or the forbidden fruit of i^aiadise. Then he gathered for it a distillation from the harvest heids and the orchards of the hemis pneres. 1 ben he poured into this caidron capsicum and copperas and logwood and deadly nightshade and assault and battery and vitiioland opium and rum and murder and sulphuric i acid ana theft and potash and cochi-! neal and red carrots and poverty and j death and hops. But it was a dry com-! pound and it must be moistened, and j it must be liquelied, and so the arch | tiend poured into that caldron the tears ot centuries ot orpanage and widowhood, and he pourtd in the blood of cwcucj uiuuoiuiu ciroaroiiiaiiUiJ?. Ana thtn the arch Send took a shov||& el that he had brought up 1'rom the furnacei beueaili, and he put that |sf shovel into this great caldron and bejBT gan to stir, and the caldron began to j |||r neave and rock and boil and sputter and hiss and smoke, and the nations gathered around it with cups and tanks' arefs and demijohns and kegs, and there was enough ior ah, and the arch liend criea: '"Aha! .champion head aui 1! Who has done more than I have ior coilins ana graveyards and prisons and insane asylums, and the populating of the lust world? And w; en this caldron is emptied I'll fill it again and I'll stir it again, and it will smoke again, and j that smoke will join another smoke, I .

Drunkenness is the greatest- evil of this nation, and it takes no logical process to prove to this audience that a drunken nation cannot long be a tree nation. I call your attention to the fact that drunkenness is not subsiding, certainly that it is not at a standstill, but that" it is on an onward march, and it is a double quick. There is more rum swallowed in this country, and of a worse kind, than was ever "swallowed since the first distillery began its work of death. Where there was one drunken home there are ten drunken homes. Where there was one drunkard's grave there are twenty drunkards' graves. It is on the increase. Talk about crooked whiskey? by which men mean the whisky that does not pav the tax to irovernment? t ?n j. ltrii juu rtii aiiuug uimn is n wacw, Crooked Otard, crooked Cognac, crooked schnapps, crooked wine, crooked beer, crooked whisky?because it makes a man's path crooked. and his life crooked, and his death crooked, and his eternity crooked.

The Protestant and lioman Catholic | churches to-day stand side by side, with j an impotent look, gazing on this evil, wnich cost this country more than a billion dollars a year to take care of the SO0,lKX) paupers, aud the 315,(XX) enmirais, ami the 30,000 idiots, and to bury the 75,000 drunkards.

Itesoiuiions?oh! yes, resolutions about ilormonism! It is safe to attack that organized nast.iness tsvo thousand miles away. Uut not one resolution against drunkenness, which would turn tins entire nation into one bestial Salt Lake City. Jiesolutious against political corruption, but not one word about drunkenness, which would rot this nation from scalp to heel, llesolutions i alout protection against competition with foreign industries, but not one | wurd about protection of family and church arid nation against the scalding, blasting, all consuming, damning tariff of strong drink put upon every financial, individual, spiritual, moral, national interest. I look in another direction. The Church of God is the grandest and mo^t jjiorious institution on earth. What has it in solid phalanx accomplished for the overthrow of drunkenness? Have its forces ever been marshaled ? 2s o, not in this direction. JS'ot long ago a great ecclesiastical court assembled in New York, and resolutions arraigning strong drink were offered, and clergymen with strong drink on their tables and strong ilrmk in their cellars defeated the resolutions by threating speeches. They could not bear to jjive up their own lusts. 1 tell this audience what many of you may never have thought of, that to-day ?not in the millennium, but to-day? the ehurch holds the balance of power in America; and if Christian people?the i I ~ ^ t r\ in en uiiu tut; wulucu wuy ui-juoo \.v love the Lord Jesus Christ ;md to love purity and to be the sworn enemies of ail uiicleanness and debauchery nod sin ?if all such would march side by side and shoulder to shoulder, this" evil would soon be overthrown. Think of three hundred thousand churches and Sunday schools in Christendom marching shoulder to shoulder! How very short a time it would take them to put down this evil, if ail the churches of Cod, transatlantic and cisatlantic, were armed on this subject? Young men of America, pass over into the army of teetotalism. Whiskey, good to preserve corpses, ou<ht never to turn you into a corpse. Tens of thousands of young men have been dragged out of respectability, and out of purity, and out of good character, and into darkness by tftis internal siuu caueu strong drink. Do not touch it! Do not touch it! Gather up the money that the working classes have spent l'or rum during I the last thirty years, and I will build for every workingman a house, and lay out for him a garden, and clothe his son-; in broadcloth and his daughters in silks, and stand at his front door a prancing span of sorrels or bays, and secure him a policy of life insurance so that the present "hoi:;.1 may be well maintained after he is dead. The most persistent, most overpowering enemy of the workihg classes is intoxicating liquor, it is the anarchist of the centuries, and has boycotted and is now boycotting the body and mind and soul! of American labor. It annually swindles industry out of a large percentage of its earnings. It holds out its blasting .solicitations to the mechanic or operative on his way to work, and at the noon spell, and on his way home at eventide. * On Saturday, when the wages are paid, it snatches a large part of the money that might come to the family and sacrifices it among the saloon keepers. Stand the saloons of this country side by side, and it is carefully estimated that they would reach from .New i orK to Chicago. This evil is pouring its vitriolic and damnable liquors down the throats of hundreds of thousands of laborers, and while the ordinary strikes are ruinous both to employers an<; employes, I pro-1 claim a universal strike, against strong strong drink, which article, it' kept up. will be the relief of the working elates and the salvation of the nation; I will undertake to say that there is not a healthy laborer in the United States who. within the next twenty years, if he will refuse all intoxicating beverages and be saving, may not become a capitalist on a small scale. Oh, liovv many are waiting to ser if something cannot be done for the stop- j pinir intemperance! Thousands of j urur.kards waiting who cannot go ten I minutes in any direction without hav- j ing the temptation glaring before their j eyts or appealing to their nostrils, they j lighting ag ;mst it witn enieeuieu win a:id diseased appetite, conquering, then surrendering again, and crying, "How long. O Lord! how long before these infamous solicitations shall be gone!" And how many mothers are waiting to if this national curse cannot lift?

On their personal solicitation he (Plumb) had voted for the bounty on-a distinct understanding that it would be rejected in the conference but Edmunds had then a written letter, which was now in Senator Cuilom's pocket, saying that if the. maple sugar bounty was not retained he (Edmunds) would be paired against the tarifl" bill His Wound?!

A Kemarkitbie and Ending of a Session of t!ie House. Washington, March 4.?Congress adjourned sine die to-day. Th?RcDubiicans in the House had nailed their colors t-j the mast and were determined fi-\ irrt Atu i\f r\Ck\\'*v oj i irorrnccivA /ljuflnnf IA' WWW ?/? and lull of light as they had been at any time during the session. They were loyal to the Speaker and awaited the proper occasion to manifest the fact. It soou came. Xo Democrat having prepared the usual vote of thauks to the Sneaker, McKinley arose and offered a resolution thanking the Speakerfor the able and impartial manner in which he had pc-rlbrned his du'.ies. The IIou-c. which bad been in a buzz from the many toned whispers of the members on the floor, lapsed momentarily into something approaching quiet as the resolution was read, and Mills arose in his place. lie disappointed those persous who hoped tor a vigorous oratorical display, as he merely demanded the call of the yeas and nays. Tho call was proceeded with amid great confusion due to the fact that nearly every member had some parting remarks for a neighbor whom he perhaps might never see agaiu. When at "last the vote was announced the Republicans rose en masse, clapping their hands rigorously, waviuir winers and books and making the air resound with cheers, the volume of sound being swelled by the applause in the naileries. The applause was renewed, more vigorously than before as Speak- j cr Reed entered the hall to relieve Berry who was temporarily in the chair. The Democrats jeered at the demonstration. Bland and McClammy ol | North Carolina shouting out retorts to the Republican applause that were lost in the confusion. A scene similar to that which followed the declaration of the speaker that, the Fifty-Grst Congress was adjourned without day, it Is safe to say, ever "occurred before in a Congress of the United States. The vocalists of the House on the Republican side of the chamber gathered in a body near the tront row ol desks?headed by Coleman of Louisiana, Yardley of Pennsylvania, Stivers of New York and Wade of Missouri?and as soon as th? House was declared adjounded they started up "Marching Through Georgia," which was taken up by the great mass of Renublican Representatives who made the ball rintj to tho great delight and ediucatiou of the galleries packed full of people. The Democratic chorus, headed by Ilepresentative-elecc John J. O'Xeill of alissouri, started with the doxologj", "Praise Gcd from whom all blessings llow." But their voices were soon drowned in the superior volume of sound from the press gallery, the reporters having taken up the hymn. Republicans and Democrats alike ceased their sinking to listen to that of their some time critics whose full resonant :horus was very effective. Burrows and" Allen of Michigan, and L'olcman with. Yardley, struck up "Our Fatherland," as tne closing notes of the lovoloirv died awav. and the llepubli ?-aas joining in very generally the effect was line, as was the singing of "John Brown's Body," which was taken up immediately. The occupants of the press rallery for the last number on the pro: run line rendered "Good-Bye, Congress, Jood-Bve, My Lover, Good-Bye." and ^Ile's a Jolly Good Fellow." It was regret on the part of the immense throne >n she iloor and galleries that the 1mpromtue musicale came to an end. The crowd then slowly dispersed. A Phoiphnto Prize.

This is the story they tell : I They arrived here from Italy, expecti ing to get rich very fast, on November 24 of last year. They were met at the Barge Office by Domenico Cappeilo, the agent for a man called Tomasso Scantone, who, he said, would pay them all big wages if they would go south and ! do some very easy work. As this happened to be just what they were looking for they decided to go South, especially ! as they were assured that their traveling ! evnprKM wnnlH hp-nairl Thev ha 1 no idea of where they were going,'but they were transported as far as Charleston and then conveyed to a little town twelve miles distant. There the men were put to work in some pumice stone quarries, where the work was very hard and where they had to stand up to their waist in water most of the time. They could make only forty cents a day, and despite the promise "made to them they were "docked" for the amount | of their railroad fares. They were I charged exorbitant prices for food and ! for the privilege of sleeping in wretched I hovels. They say they were often beat! en and, in fact, treated just as if they | were prisoners! At the end of three i months of hard work and poor living their joint savings amounted to Sl.To. | They managed to escape from the armed guards, who they say were stationed about the camp, and made their way to Charleston, where one of them had banked S40 which he h;id brought from Italy. That sufficed to pay their fares to New York, where, after they had told their tale, they were taken care of by the Italian Benevolent Society, which has its headquarters at Zs'o 46 Yarick street. The Italian Consul General telegraphed tr> the Italian flnnsnl at. Phaxlpstnri to make inquiries. On Monday an agent will be sent from here to thoroughly investigate the matter. They say there are other Italians in the quairies i who remain there because they have no money and cannot find a chance to run away.?H erald. Happy AVomon. What is it that makes women more smiling aDd happy looking than men? We meet them on the cars, on the streets, in the country, by the seashore, always smiling, teeth a glistening, eyes a dancing. Ah! the secret is they aim to please. It is an effort in many instances for them to smile, and were it not for a desire to look pleasing and pretty many would "never smile again." Why? Because in a lar#e majority- of ^stances they don't feel like smiling. They feel more like cryin?. With their nervous aches, weakness and bearing1 down pains, life to them is a burden.
