This picturesque di*course of Dr. ? \ Talmage leads bis hearers sad readers < through unwonted regions cf contfm 1 pla ion and is full of practical gospvl; J text, Job xxviii, IS, "No mention < shall be made of coral." t ^?1?.? Why do you say that, inspired dra J zn&tisi? When you wanted loset forth 1 the superior value of cur relirior, y.'-u ' J >- ?v:,.u ,,^,1 s tcssea ssiae me ooyjt, wmuu xa for makine esquire cameos, snd the * sapphire, sky blue, acd topsz of rh'om- s bic prism, ard the ruby ct frozen 1 blood, and here you say that the c-.r J al, which is a miracle of sb&pa a^d a ( ^ transport of color to those wao have ' studied it, is not worthy of memion J in comparison with our holy reliyicu. 1 "No mention shall be made of coral." 1 At St Johnsbury, Ye., in a museum < built by the chief citizen, as I exam- t ined a specimeu on the shelf, I first 1 realized what a holy of holies G >d : can build and has built in the texnole of one pit-ce of coral. I do not won 1 der thai E.-rst Htckel, the great scien- 1 tint, while in Ceyioa, was so entranced j with tbe specimens whic^i some Cin- j galese divers had brought up for bis 1 inspection that he himself plunged < into tbe sea and went clear under toe * waves at ttte risi of his life, again * and again and again, that he might < know more of the coral, the beauty of ' which be indicates cannot even be gurssed by those who have only seen it above water, and after the po'yps, \ which are its sculptors ana architects, ] have died ana the chief glories o' j these submarine flowers have expired. < Job in my text did cot mean to depre ciats this divine sculpture in the coral < reefs aloig the sei coasts. < No one can afford to depreciate tbese j white palaces of the deep, built under < Goa's direction. He never changes 3 his plans for the building of the is s lands and shores, and for uacounfr d thousands of years the coral gardens and the coral castles and the coral battlements go on and up. I charge you that you will please God and please yourst-lf if you will go into the minute examination of the corals? their foundations, their pinnacles, their aisles, their pillars, their curves, their cleavages, their reticulation, their grouping?families of them, -towns of them, cities of them and continents of them, Indeed you cannot appreciate the meaning of my text unies you know something of the coral?labyrinthian, stellar,columnar, floral, denied like shields from battle, spotted like leopards, embroidered like lace, hung like upholstery?twi jig iit ana auroras ana sun oursts 01 beauty. From deep crimson to milk while are its colors. You may find this work ot God through the animalcuies*80 fathoms down, or amid the breakers, where the sea dashes the wildest and beats the mighiits; and bellows tbe loudest. These sea creatures are ever busy. Now they build islands in the center of the Pacific ocean. Now they lift barriers around the ccntinent Indian ocean. Red sea and coast of Zanzibar have specimens cf ihexr infinitesimal but tu olime ma sonry. At the recession of the tides jou may m some places see the top of their Alpine elevations, while else wnere notn.ng but me deep sea sound- j ings from the decks of the Challenger, } c the Porcupine a^d the Lightningo^j the British expedition can aoiH^| them.

But the secular and worldly j value oi the coral is nothing as com- 1 partd vith the id oral and reiiekus, j as when, m my text, Job employs it t in comparison. I do not know now ] any outs can examine a coral the *izs . oi tne tnumb tail witnout Detmnking himself of God and worshiping him, and feeling the opposite of the great infidel surgeon lecturing to the medical students in the dissecting room upon a human eye wnieh ne held in ^ his hand, showing its wonders of ar- e chitecture and adaptation, when tie a idea ui God flashed upon him so pow- a erfuily ne cried out to the nudents, ( ' Gentlemen, tneie is a God, but 1 s haie iiim!" Picking up a coral, X feel r like crjing out, ''There is a Gcd, and * I adore hini I" E Nothing so impresses me with the i fact that our God loves the beautiful ?

Having gsruiiured a thia world to please the human race a and lifted a glorious heaven to please fi the angelic iniolijgences, I am glad i; that he has planted thase gardens ol t. the deep to please himself.

While I sptai these great na- d tions of zoophytes, meanarmas, aud t madrepores, wi:h tentacles fur trowei, e are building just such coral as we find c in our text The diamond may be g more rare, the crystal may be more p sparkling, the chrysopiass may De t more ?Diaz?, but the coral is the long, c deep, everlasting blush cf the sea. ^ Yet Job, who understood all kmds of c precious stones, deciares that the s beauty and value of tie cirai art & nothing compared wi.h our hol\ religion, and he picks up this coral- "5 line formation and looks at it and e flings it a*ide with all the other beauti - s lul tnmgs ne nas neara 01 and cries i out in testesj of admiration for the f superior qualities ol our religion, ''No a mention snail be made of coral" f Taie my hand and we will walk t througii this bower of the sea while 1 a show >ou tiiat even exquisite coral is t not worthy of being cumpartd with l the ricner jewels of a Christian soul. ' The first lione that strikes me in look e iug at the coral is lis locg continueo t accumulation. It is not turned up t like Uotopaxi, but is an outbuttin^ [ and an outbracchiag of ages. In Po- i ljDQsia there are reefs hundreds o. i leet aeep and 1,000 miles long. Who '( built these reefs, these islands? The i zooph> tes. the corallines. Tnej wert t not hucn workers who built the pjra- i mida as were these masciis, thtse crea f Hues of tne sea. Wnat small creations amounting to what vast aggregation! t "Who can estimate Lhe ages beiwttn t the time when the madrepores laid the , foundations of lhe islands aud tne j time when the mad re ports put on tht ?

The whole affair took pia^e at P^c.'s store in Grreetown county i ?he negro, Sam Turner, was shot through the abdomen and it was said oo^ld only live a few hours. H* was pat in a small ou'.house near Price's 5-oreand ihtre la.y lingering between i'e aj/d death until Tuesday evening when it was dtc d'd :o remove him lo ;.he couoty jiil at Kiogstree. He ha3 been under a strong guard from the ime of tbe sheeting until tnen, wnen magistrate ordered him carried to Kingstree j-?il and be was put in the ore of Caunon, D^n^is and H&zeldr-n who were sp-cially d-pu'ized to carrj and deliver Turner to the sheriff a1 KinkStree. Accordingly his bed* was ulac-d oa a mattress and put in a *Agon and the fatal journey b*gun: The trip was made wi'hout incident, the party arriving at Kiagstree about 10 o'cl<>ck p. m., a d *oing through 10 *n direct to tbe j <i]. It scents tbat ih^ jailer was not in at tue time and one or perhaps, two of the deputies went to hunt him. He <vas found at last and went directly to the jail, but before he c-;uld get to the pr^oner be heard a volley of pi&tol shots outside the gate leading to the j nil and by the time be and the guard yot to the negro be bad breathtd hi* list. Tne deputy who had the negro in charge states that a cro*d of men came b.y the wagon wbere Turner lay and with pistols shot him to death Some of the pistols must have been placed directly against the negro's temple, judging from tbe gash mad* ? r-r I j:.j lu Bis neaa. a.e must cave uicu mstantly and wrlbout a struggle. The negro was lyiag oa hia back and Jooked perfectly natural and as calm as if asleep. seemed to have bled v?ry little and death w*s no doubt a relief from his sufferings. The only regret is thai; if thia had to ba done it would have been much beiter if he bad been shot to instaat d-ath in fi.7e minutes after he killed Posion. The negro was accompanied by his wife, brother and t*o other negroes, on hia j jiLrapyio jiil thoy~ were7n cl- s ^iibin 10 yards of him when he was shot to death. Sam Turner never uitnred a groan. H:s wife screamed oat they, '*My God. tfc-ey have shot my husband ana kiJled him." The negroes then turned rousd and drove rapidly away, never uttering a word. This whole difficulty, it is claimed by some, was brought on by a ^ white man telling th* negro that it was left to him whether he went or not to the trial when Pnstnn arrested him. This man is a Mr P- ice, who keevs store in Georgetown county. The whole com munity seems to be down on Price, so much so that be has locked up his store and suscended business aod went to the sheriff o?

Price, from all that can be learned actea unwisely in giving advice when he did, especially with tbe two men in ques ti >n as they were both mea of power j fal physique and somewhat quick to *nger. Yet we can but believe thai Mr. Price never for a moment though" of the cols'quences or what muht happen Pubric opinion seems to be somewhat diviaed about Mr. Price's action. There is still another concerned in thi*H unfortunate *ffa:r. and he is a >ouog negro who was at the tr?.y when it happened and he was seea with a club and some think that he -truck Poston while he was attempt icg to arrest Turner.

As soon as such an intended curtailment of acreage is perfectly evident, the spinners will un doubtedly buy so frt*eiy as to speedily absorb ihe 675,000 balrs of indicated surplus and to advance prices to a much higher plane. In the meantime, whether prices advance or not between now s,nd the time for making preparations for the new crop, th^ experience of this fall should mek-ui perfectly clear to southern farmers tnatthey should next year give les* acreage to cotton aud more to food audforage crops."
