The subject cf the sermon today was "The Generation?," the text being Ecclesiaste3 i, 4, "Oae generation passeth away, and another generation comcth.'"' According to the longevity of people ' in tteir particular ceDlury has a generation been called 100 jears, or 50 years, or 30 years. By ccmmon consent in our nine-teenth century a generation is fixed at 25 years. The largest procession that ever ; UiUf 19 j,iU\/\/CWiWU V* I VM-?^ ? the greatest aricy *hat ever marched is the army of generations. In each generation there are about nine Jul! regiments (f days. These 9,125 days in each generation march with wonderful precisios. They cever break ranks. The never c;rcand arms. They never pitch tests. Ttiey never halt. Toey are never cfi' on furloash. They came cut cf the. eternity past, and they move oa toward the eternity future. They cross rivers without any bridge or boats.

No man or woman that ever Jived would dare to make full record of all the thoughts and words of a lifetime. We who saw and heard much of the generation marching just ahead of us are far more able than any book to describe accurately to eur successors who cur predecessors were. Very much like ourselves, thank you. Human nature in them very much like human nature in us. At our time of life they werft. very much like we now are.

But that generation has left its impressioa oa this generation. A sailor was dying oa shipboard, aad be said to his mates: "My lads, I caa only think of one passage of Scripture, "The soul that sinaeth, it shall die,' and Traana ririfrinor in TT1T7 Pt>r5 'Th? M4<?w ? ? 7 soul that sinneth, it shall die.' Can't youJhink of something else injthe Bible to cheer me up?" Well, sailors are kind and they tried to think of some other passage cf Scripture with which to console their djdn? comrade, but they could not. One of ':hem said: "Let us call the cabin boy. His mother was a Christian, and I guess he has a Bible." The cabin boy was called up, and the dying sailor asked him if he had a Bible. He said, "Yes." But he could not exactly And it, and the dying sailor scolded him and said, "Ain't you ashamed of yourself not to read your Bible." $>~> the boy explored the bottom of bis trunk and brought out the Bible, and his mother had marked a passage that just fitted the dying sailor's case, "Tbe blood of Jesus Christ, his Son, cleanseth from all sin." That helped tbe sailor to die in peace. So one generation helps another, and good things written or said or done are reproduced long afterward. Daring the passing of the last generation some peculiar events have unfolded One day wLiie resting at Sharon Springs X. Y.?I think it was in 1S70, the year after my settlement in Brooklyn?aud while walking in the park of that place I found myseli asking the question* "I wonder it there is any special mission for me to execute J.a this world? It there is, may God show it to me." There soon came to me a <rrea" desire to preach the gcspel through the secular printing press. I reahzad that the vast majority oi people, even in Christian lands, never enter a church, and that it would be an opportunity of usefulness infinite it that door of publication *ere opened. And so I 1 ecorde-3 that prayer m a blank book and offered the prayer day in and day cut until tbe answer came, though in a way different from that which I had expccted, for it came through the ml?represemation and persecution of enemies, and I have to record it for the encouragement of all ministers of thfc gospel who are misrepresented that it the misrepresentation bs virulent enough ami bitter tnoush, and continuous enoug'-i, taeie is uo-am^ taai b\j wiucuo CPe't?

My iirs'sermou was in the old church on Scbermerhorn street to an nud'ence chiefly of empty seats, lor the church w-.js almost; extinguished. Taat church Ailed and overflowing, we built a jargf*r church, wnich after two or three years disappeared in fliiue. fhen we b'lilt another ciiurcb, whicha!so in aline of fi^rv succession rtis<ppe.ired :n samj wiiy.

I reoord with gratitude to God that during this generation of 25 years I remember but two Sibbatbs that I have missed service through anything like physical indisposition Almost a 'fanatic on the suojrct of physical exercise I have made the parks with which our city is blessed the means of good physical condition. A daiiy walk ani run in the open air have kept me ready for work and in good liumor with all the world. I say to all young ministers ot the gospel it in easier to keep good health than to regainit when oncelo3t. The reason so many good men thiok the world is going "to ruin is because their own physical condition is on the downgrade. Xo man ought to jreactt who has a diseased liver or an enlarcrt-d spleen. There are two thing3 ahead of us that ought to keep us cheerful in our work?heaven ana the millennium. And now", having come up to the twenty fifch milestone in my pastorate, I wonder how many more miles I am to travel ? Your company has been exceedingly pleasant,0 my dear people, and I would like to march by your side until the generation with whom we are nnwrnnvini; abreast and steo to sten shall have stacked arms after the last battle. But the Lord knows best, and we ought to be willing to stay or go. Most of you are aware that I propose at this time, between the close of my twenty-fiJth year of pastorate and be.fore the beginning of my twenty-sixth year, to be absent for a few months in order to take a journey around the world. I expect to sail from San Francisco in the steamer Alameda May 21 My place here on Sabbaths will be fully occupied, while on Mondays and every Monday,I will continue to speak through the printing press in this and other lands as heretofore. Why do I go? To make pastoral visitation amnnff npnnle whom I have never seen. but to whom I have never been permitted a long while to administer. I want to see tbem in tbeir own cities, towns and neighborhoods. I want to know what are their prosperities,whar. their adversaries and what their opportunities, and so enlarge my w->rk and get more adaptedneas. Why du i go?. For educational purposes. I want to freshen my mind aud heart oy news scenes, ne* faos, new manners and customs I want better to understand what, are the wroDgs to be righted and tbe waste pi ices to be reclaimed. I will put all I learn in serajons to be preached to you when I return. I want to see the Sandwich Isiands, not so much in the light of modern politics as in the linjht oi toe gospel of Jesus Christ,which tias transformed tQeoo.aQG Snmoa aud those vas'realms of Ne^ Z-HUDd aud Australia and Oeylon a'jd Iidta. I want to see what Christianity Das accomplished. I want to set* how the missionaries havr been lied about as living in luxury and idleness. I want to know whether the heathen religions are really as toierable-asd as c >ramendable as they were reprecanrtrfi hr? thftir ndhf-rp.nts in r.he narlia ment ot religions at Chicago. I want to see whether Mohammedanism aud Buddhism would be a good thin? for transplanting in America, as it has again and again been argued. I Want to hear the Brabmans pray. I want to test whether the Pacific ocean treats its guests any better than does the Atlan tic? I want to see the wondrous architecture of India, aDd the D-lni and Cawnpore where Christ was cruciQwi in the massacre of his modern discip'rS, and the disabled Juggernaut unw^eeled by Christianity, and to see if the Taj which the Emperor Shah Jehaa built in honor of his empress really means any more than the plain siao we put above our dear departed. I want to see the fields where Havelock and Sir Colin Campbell won the day against the sepoys. I want to see the worlJ from all 3ides, how much of it is in darkness, how much of it is in light, what the Bible means by the "ends of the earth," and get myself ready to ap preciate the extent of the present to be made to Christ as spoken of in the Psalms, "Ask for me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, 1 -C <1UU iue ULLermusi/ is ui ouo cauu for thy possession," and so I shall be ready to celebrate in heaven the victories of Christ in more rapturous song than I could have rendered had I never seen the heathen abomination^ before they were conquered. And so I hope to come back refreshed, re-enforced and better equipped and to %> in 10 ^ears more effectual work than I have done in the last 25. And now in this twenty fifth anniversary sermon I propose to do two tilings?nrsc, to pun a gariana ou me grave of the generation that has just passed off and then to put a palai branch in the hand of the" generation just now coming on the field of action, for my text is true, "One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh." Oh, how many we revered and honored and loved in the last generation that quit the earth! Tears fell at the time of their going, and dirges were sounded, and signals of mourning were put on, but neither tears nor dirge nor somber veil told the half we felt. Their going left a vacancy in oar souls that has never filled up. We never get used to their absence. There are times when the sight of something with which they were associated?a picture, or a book, or a garment, or a 9taff?breaks us down with emotion, but we bear it simply because we have to bear it. On, how snowy white their hair got, and how the wrinkles multiplied, and the sigbt grew more dim, aud the hearing less alert, and the step more frail, and one day they were gone out of the chair by tne ilreside, and from the plate at the meal, and from the end or the church pew,where they worshipped with us! O my soul, how we missed them! But let us console each other with the thought tnat we shall meet them again ia the land of salutation and reunion. And now I twis: a garland tor that | departed generation. It need not be c >3tly, perhaps jus:. a handful of clover blossoms from the Held through whicn i they used to wal?, or *s many violets ' as you could bold between the thumb and the fore linger, plucked out of the garden where tbey us*d to walk in the the coo1 of the day. Put these old fash; iODed flowers right down over tee heart | that never again will acne, acd mthe feet i that will never agam be weary, and the arm that has forever ceased to toil. Peace, father! Peace, mother! EverlastI ing peace! All that for the generation gone. But what shall.we do with the pa'.m branch V That we wiil put in the nand of the gear ration corning on.

Its base consists of three courses, the upper one bevelled and surmounted by a die bearing the simple inscription: tk\farv t.hp. mnf.hp.r of Washington."

Washington, May 11.?About the middle of next month one of the hottest campaigns ever waged in South Carolina will be opened between Senator Butler and Governor Tillman for Senatorial honors. Sanator Irby, the jan'or Ssna tor from the Palmetto State, is chairman of the State Damocratic committee, and it is incumbent upon him to start the ball rollinz. He says tie proposes to call the State executive committee together oil the 7th of June, aad m about a weeek or ten days following Senator Butler and Governor Tillman will commence their joint canvass. It will probably be a bitter personal struggle between them, for Senator Butler is aDxlous to retain his seat in the Senate, and Governor Tillman has been bending -r u:~ TusroAnol enoroips Ail UJL 1113 ^UUUl/A? ouu ? ? to be elected a3 Senator Butler's successor. Both of them are good stuaop speakers aud they are to speak together fconi the same platform all oyer the State. Senator Butler is an aggressive campaigner, and he and the Governor have been shying political bricks at eaca other at long range lor several montha past. When they come together on the same stump theie mil probably be pome stirring appeals to their respective followers, and those who are familiar with the characteristics of the two predict an exciting contest from start to finish. Both men are past masters in the art of working upon the passions of their respective followers, and the combat will take on a national as well as a local flavor in view of Senator Butler's promin r- oloA KoPdtlQP nf CUU6 ILi UL1C QQUAbC A^iU ctiow uvummww v? the notoriety Governor Tillman h ts acquired by reason of his famous dispensary liquor law. South Carolinians here are anxiously awaiting for the battle royal to commence, and at the present writing both side3 aDpear to be about equally confident of victory. &. well-known South Carolina Congressman, who is supposed to have a slight leaning towards Senator Butler, for personal reasons, but who has heretofore affiliated with the Tillman movement in the State, wab asked to-dav for hi3 opinion as to the probable outcome. He replied tfcat tie looked tor a desperate struggle between Senator Batler ana Governor Tillman on the stumD. and that at the present time it was difficult to pick a winner. Sena tor Batler is sappDsed to represent the Conservative or National Admioistrational wing of the South Caroiiaa Demo cracy, while G"Vernor T'llman is the leader of the Anti-National Administration-Farmers' Alliance-Populist forces m the State.

I \ t e POSING AS MARTYRS. A Wiislilastoo Judge mid jary Plsy to Coxvy's Baa<l. Washington, May 9.?Tba three leaders of i?;c commonweal, Geo. Jacob Schle- Ccxey, Marshal Carl Browne and Christopher Columbm Jcnes, were found <;u;i;.v y?sierday of violation the laws by a jury of their peers, and will have to submit to a sentence hereaf* ter to be imposed by the court for tbeir recent demonstration on the Capitol. All three of the accused were sonvicted on the first count of the indictment, which charged them with displaying in the Capitol croandsihe banner cf the Coxey Good roads Association. Jones of Philadelphia wa3 asquitted of toe see ond count which accused him ot treading on the grass, but Coxey and Browne were convicted. The jury retired at five minute3 before 1 o'clock, alter hearing a long charge Irom Jadge Miller, which left them little alternative but to convict if tbey followed his leadings. About half past 3 o'clock the jurors sent for the instructions given for the defense, but the government objected and they filed into the court room while the judge read the instructions. Youug Attorney Hyman endeavored, excitedly, to hav i the fact that the objection came from the prosecution laid before the jury, but he was suupresed. Judge Miller stated that ne would not have handed over the written instructions under any circumstances, as - ' "* ? * : ?K mat would nave oeeo irre^uiar. \juiy five minutes after this episode the jury returccded with the indictment. "General Coxey had been visiting with his wife and his daughter, the "Goddess of peace" ef the May day procession, but took his seat within the bar aud all of the party received the result smillinsly, except Mr. Hvman, who was on bis leet wita 3ome uojauuyu tu the form on which t'ae verdict was presented, but he was sat upon by his colleagues. Attorney Lipscomb, immeai ately entered a motion for new trial and another in arrest of judgment. Judge Millar gave him four days to file the formal paper, then the judge made inquiries about bail and Frank Hume, a well known wholesale grocer, who several Umes has been a candidate for the Democratic nomination to Congress from the Virginia district across the Polomac river, signed a bond in $500 for each of '.he three convicted commonwealers. Gen. Ccxey left the courtroom on the arm of his wire, poshing through a curious crowd which made no demonstration. The conviction of himself and Jones was a surprise io the commonweal sympathizers. Coxey said that it was evident that his prosecutioa was not on account ot what he had done, but because of the principles in behalf of which he had acted. Carl Browne remarked: "I was surprised at the coa? viction of Brother Coxey, because he was plainly acquitted by the evidence of any technical violation of the statutes. For my own part. I expected to be convicted." Just after the closing plea for the d? fense, Browne's lawyer had asked permission to read to the jury a statement written by bis client, but Judse Miller declined to admit it saying that Browne had been eiven all his rights In being de fended by able attorneys. The paper was written In Browne's usual grandilo/in/*ri4 on/3 thu**. hp O-J iV OUU MTV.11.VVI VUMW ww -w ? from his lawyers regarding the line of defense, that he would have admitted the technical violations of the law and have asked the jury to acquit him on the ground than he was merely exercising his constitutional rights. Two weeks may elapse, during which the trio will be free on bail, before the motion for a new trial is argued and de c?ded. The penaltv provided by law is the same for each cfiense, viz: A fine not to exceed $100 or imprisonment in jail for not more than thirty days, 01 both within the discretion of the court. Accordingly, the mg^imum punishment which may be meted out to Coxey and Browne is $200 and 120 days, wnue Christopher Columbus Jones is subject to $100 and sixty days. By a curious CongrssIODai error in f> recent bill which reorganized the District courts, there is no appellate court to which a police case can b8 carried. The only method ot appealing from Judge Miller's sentence will be by an application to a higher court for writs of habeas corpus and certiorari. Attorney Lipscomb has announced that; he will take this step if Jud<?e Miller overrules the motion for a new trial. Howerer, such a petition will not operate as a stay of to the defendants from J ? ? tr serving their sentences while it is pending. Did Not Expect If. The Charleston Snn records rather an amusing incident in connection with the recent letter of Congressman McLaurin. According to the Snn's story "Professor Marchant queried the Congressman as to whether he, Marchant, was- the object of the former's nf '/vnck nf fhflir UCa^llptlUU XIX Uig JL^UUVi V*. V/UV VJL WUW4A little creatures, a peripatetic school teacher, who wants to be superintendent of education.' McLaunn frankly replied that Marchant was . the person he meant. Whereupon Marchaht says his friends advise! him to 'hit' back, but he was 'afraid' of a man who would say to his face what he had intended for him in print. That such a man must be 'mad'?meaning crazy. This indicates the curious state of mind that the customary equivocation and dodging of public men has given rise to. Marchant knew, as others knew, that McLaurin referred to him. But he thought on putting the question directly to him that McLaurin would, as usual in such cases, find a way out of it bv evasion. To f36 Professor's blank amazement McLaurin simply replied that tie did mean him. Such ; irectneas left the Professor without a word of reply, la these equivocating and demagogueic tiro 3 such an incident is refreshing." A. TerrSbie Leap.

C., May 7.?War has been ceclarcd anions the Catawba barves, with a probability that the whole tribe will become involved. Each 3 ear the State of Sooth Carolina j appropriates $800 to the remc'anfc of the I Catswba Indians in this county. This j money is distributed among the mem- i bers of the tribs by Capt. A. E. Smith, i the agent. The tribe now numbsrs six- \ ty-eis'ht Indians and half-breeds, and the i custom has been to distribute the fund j among the pure bloods and such oi the j oan-Dreeue as uave xuuiau uiotucts never am^ng the balf-breeds whose fathers only are Indians. Under the rules of the tribe as they have existed for generations, so we are informed, children only inherit from their mothers, never from their fathers. This fact is the cause of the present trouble. Jeff Davis Ayers is a member of the tribe. About seven tears ago he was lawfully married to a white woman, who has borne three children by her husband. Of these chiloren one is six years old, anothei four years and the youagestone year. Thursday all the Indians came to town to draw the money appropriated Ko iho Ktolp hut. h*f,-irA tho K0J ? could be effected Avers learned that the ageat would observe the rules of the tribe and not apportion the money amoDg the children ot any white woman who was the wife of an Indian, inasmuch as no part ot the fund was appropraltcd for a while woman, and under the tribal regulation children could only inherit from their mother. If she had no claims upon the fund, the children would have none.' This regulation deprived A ti??la /\f onir norfc in thft dift tributiOD. Finding this was the condition of aftairs;Thursday morning, Avers made demand upoa the Indian Agent through his attorney, W. B. Wilson, Esq., for his children's part of the fund, bat the agent has not yet made the distribution, as the Indians threaten to hold his bondsmen responsible if he pays any money to the Ayers children. Thus matters stood Thursday morning when Ayers approached a cumber ol his comrades who where standing on Main street. They denounced him for delaying the payment of the money. One burly felloe, John Brown became furi ously mad and assaulted Ayers, when the women interfered and a general fight waa imminent.

Oue of Editor Medill's fads is the fountain of youth, which he described to a newspaper correspondent lately. Toe fountain itself is in the San Bernardino mountains and is nothing else than a great reservoir of melted snow. The sbow water is the purest in the world, Mr. Medill thinks, and he drinks it in great quantity, so that it will wash away the lime in his system. It is lime in the system that makes people get old and die, in the judgment of The Tribune's veteran editor. Mr. Mt-dill nim self is dow 73 years old and has bad time ! to get considerable lime into him. This choked bim ap, blood and bones, till it gave him rheumatic goat. He went to various springs in Europe and America to get cured, but ail were no goodThen he studied into the science of rheumatism ana gout and concluded drinkiDg distilled water would wash out the lime that had gathered about his jjints. That helped some, but it wa3 reserved for the snow water cf San Bernardino to complete the cure. It is not eating so much as drinking that fills the body up with lime, he contends. Jf, therefore, mankind will flush themselves, so to speak, 'With 11 ? -4 cnemicany pure waier, auu wuidicj, even of the aispensarv brand, they will clear themselves out and stave off old age. Mr. Medill claims that he is renewing his youth on snow water. Say Good Words. The teacher who educates your children toils on year after year doing her duty and often more than hfer duty.
