In this discourse Dr- Talmage sets
^ forth the goodness and wisdom of
God In the construction of the human
ear and extols music and encourages
prayer; text. Psalms xciv, 9, ''He
that planted the ear shall he not
hear?"
Architecture is one o? the most fascinating
arts, and the study of Egyptian,
Grecian, Etruscan, Roman, Byzantine,
Moorish, Renaissance styles
of building has been to many a man a
sublime life work. Lincoln and York

and arch of Titus and Theban temple
and Alharebra and Parthenon are the
monuments to tbe genius of those
who built them. But more "wonderful
than any arch they ever lifted or any
transept window they ever illumined
or any Corinthian column they ever
crowned or any Gothic cloister they
ever elaborated is the human ear.
Among the most skillful and assiduous
nhysiologist of our time have
been those who have given their time
to the examination of the ear and the
study of its srches, its walls, its fioor,
its canals, its aqueducts, its galleries,
its intricacies, its convolutions, its
divine machinery, and yet it will take
another thousand years before the
world comes to any adequate appreciation
of what G-od did when he planned
and executed the infinite and
overmastering architecture of tbe human
ear. The most of it is invisible,
and the microscope breaks down
in the attempt at exploration.
The cartilage which we call the ear is
only the storm door of the great temple
clear down out of sight, next door
to the immortal soul.
Such scientists as Kolmhoilz and
Conte and De Biainville and Bank and
Buck have attempted to walk the Appian
way of the human ear, but the
mysterious pathway has never been
fully trodden but by two feet?th?
foot of sound and the foot of GkxL
Three ears on each side the head?the
external ear, the middle ear, the internal
ear?but all connected by most
wonderful telegraphy.
The external ear in all ages adorned
by precious piones or precious metals.
xne tempie 01 Jerusalem partly ouiu
by the contribution of earrings, and
Homer in the "Iliad" speaks of Hera,
"the three bright drops, Ircsr glittering
gems suspended from the ear," and
many of the adornments of modern
times were only copies of her ear
jewels found in Pompeiian museum
and Etruscan vase. But while the
outer ear may be adorned by human
art, the middle and ths internal ear
are adorned and garnished only by
the hand of the Lord Almighty. The
3troke of a key of yonder organ sets
the air vibrating, and the external ear
catches the undulating scund and
passes it on through the bonelets of
the middle ear to the internal ear,
and the 3,000 fibers of the human
brain take up the vibration and roll
the scund on into the souL The hidden
machinery of the ear by physiologists

familiar to us, like the hammer, something
to strike; like the anvil, something
to be smitten; like the stirrup

passages of the ear is actually called;
like a stairway, the sound to ascend;
like a bent tube of a heating apparatus,
taking that which enters round
and round; like a labyrinth with
wonderful passages into which the
thought enters only to be lost in bewilderment
A muscle contracting
when the noise is too loud, just as the
pupil of the eye contracts when the
light is too glaring. The external ear
is defended by wax which -with its
bitterness discourages insectile invasion.
The internal ear imbedied in by
what is far the hardest bone of the
human system,a very rock of strength
and defiance.
The ear so strange a contrivance
that by the estimate of one scientist it
can catch the sound of 73,000 vibra
tions in a second. The outer ear taking
in all kinds of sound, whether the
crash of an avalanche or the hum of a
bee. The sound passing'to the inner
door of the outside ear halts until an*
other mechanism, divine irechanism,
passes it on by the boneleis oi the
middle ear, and, coming to the inner
dcor of that second ear, the sound has
no power to come farther until another
divine mechanism passes it on
through into the inner ear, and then
the sound come3 to the rail track of
the brain branchlet and rolls on and
on until it comes to sensation, and
there the curtain drops, and a hundred
gates shut, and the voice of God
seems to say to all human inspection,
"Thus far and no farther."

Small instrument of music on which

About 15 years ago, in Venice, lay
down in death one whom many considered
the greatest musical composer
of the century. Struggling all the
way on to 70 years of age to conquer
the world's ear. In that same
attempt to master the human ear and
gain supremacy over this gate of
he immortal soui, great battles
were fought by Mozart, Gluck and
Weber, and by Beethoven and Meyerbeer,
by Kossini and by all the roll of
German and Italian and French composers,
some of them :u the battle
leaving their blcod on the keynotes
and the musical scores. Great battle
fought for the ear?fought with baton,
>;ith organ pipe, with trumpet, with
ccrnet-a-piston, with all ivory and
brazsn and silver and golden weapons
of the orchestra; roval theater and
cathedral and academy of music the
fortressts for the contest for the ear.
England and Egypt fought for the
supremacy of the Suez canal,'

fc.Ugat for the mastery of tbD auditory
canal and the dtfile ot the i^imortal j
soul and the Thericopyho of struggling J
cadences.
For the conquest of the ear Haydn j
struggled on up from the garret where j
he bad neither fire nor tcoct, on ana
on until under the too great nervous
strain of hearing his own oratorio of
the "Creation" performed he was carried
out to die, but leaving as his legacy
to the world 118 symphonies, 163
pieces for the baritone. 15 masses, 5
oratorios, 42 Germ an an d Italian sod gs,
39 canons, 365 English and Scotch
songs with accompaniment and 1,536
pages of libretti. All that to capture
the gate of the bcdy that swings in
from the tympanum to tbe ''snail
thell" lying on the beach of. the ccean
of the immortal soul.
To conquer the ear Handel struggled
on from the time when his father
*ould not let him go to school lest he
learn the gamut and become a musician,
and from the time when he was
allowed in the organ loft just to play
after the audience had left to the time
when he left to all nations his unparalleled
oratorios of "Esther," "Deb
ora," "Samson," "Jephthah," "Judas
Maccalarjs," "Israel In Egypt"" and
the "Messiah," the soul of the great
German composer still weeping ic; the
dead march of our great obsequies
and triumphing in the raptures of
every Easter morn.
To conquer the ear and take this
gate of the immorial soul Schubert
composed his great ''Serenade," writing
the staves of the music on the bill
of fare in a restaurant, and went on
until he could leave as a legacy to the
world over a thousand magnificent
compositions in music. To conquer
the ear and lake this gate of the soul's
castle Mczart struggled on through
poverty until he came to a pauper's
! grave, and one chilly, wet afternoon
j ihe body of him wno gave to the world
the ''Requiem'7 and the "Gr Minor

We have been looking for God in

' His ears are open to their cry." The
Bible intimates that two workmen on
Saturday night do not get their wage?.
Their complaint instantly strikes the
ear of God, -'The cry of those that

poor girl last night as she threw herseif

Wnen a soul prays, God does not

you pray to him it is not more a whisper
than a kiss. Ah, yes, he .hears
the captive's sigh and the plash of the
orphan's tear, and the dying syllables
of the shipwrecked sailor driven
on the slferries, and the infant's "Now

$ as he hears the fortissimo of brazen

and just as a sharp cry of pain I once

and just as a horrid blasphemy in the
street sometimes haunts one's ears for

the songs, tho prayers, the groans, the
worship, the blasphemy. Eow we
have aLl wondered at the phonography
which holds not only the words, ycu

Amazing phonograph! But more
wonderful is God's powers to hold, to

for our prayers! What an
awful fright for our hard speeches!
What assurance of warm hearted

Better take that organ away from
all sin. Better put it under the test
?Oand. Batter take it away from all
gossip, from all slander, from all bad
influence of' evil association. Bet
ter put it to school to church, to phil
harmonic. Better put that ear under
the blessed touch of Christian hymnology.
Better consecrate it for time
and eternity to him who planted the
ear. Rousseau, the infidel, fell asleepamid
his skeptical manuscripts lying
all around the room, and in his dream
he entered heaven and heard the song
of the worshipers, and it was so sweet
he asked an angel what it meant. The
*ngel said, "This is the paradise of
God, and .the song you hear is the
anthem of the redeemed." Under another
roll of the celestial music Rousseau
wakened and got up in the midnight
and, as well as he could, wrote
down the strains of the music that he
had heard in the wonderful tune
called "The Songs of the Redeemed."
God grant that it may not be to you
and to me an infidel dream,,but a glorious
reality. When we come to the
night of death and we lie down to our
I last sleep, may our ear3 really be
awakered by the ciniicles of the
heavenly temple, and the soisgs and
the anthems and the carols and the
doxologies that shall climb the musical
ladder of that heavenly gamut.

It, is understood in Richmond, Va.,
that General Lee will uc questionably
be made & msjor general in the United
States volunteer army, and will lead a
division or corps in Cuba. He will
leave for Washington on Sunday, if
not ordered there sooner, and immediately
upon receiving his commission
will select his stiff of nine men. When
asked if the Virginia troops would be
attached to his command, ha stated
unhesitatingly that they would be,
and it has leased out that he wired to
Secretary Alger today, suggesting:
thai the troops destined for Cuba be
uniformed in the lightest possible
clothizg. When asked if he would
accept anything less than a major
general's commission, General Lee
referred to his telegram sent to the
Washington authorities, from Key
West, offering his services for any
duty he might be called upon to perform,
and said. "Ism anxious to
return to Cuba to put to rout the
Spanish, troop?, and I would accept a
lieutenant s commission if it permitted
me to lead as much as a squad in
Cuba."
Th? Cable W?s Oct.
The cable between Key West and
Havana was cut about a mile south of
Fort Taylor, and evidently by some
one familiar with cable -work. The
strand, which is of the double armor,
[ heavy, shore end tjp3, was not cut in
twain, but merely cut opsn. The con!
ductor was then pulled out and cut in
I two near the shore. The cable is now

CROP CONDITIONS.
THE WEEKlY BULLETIN OF THE
PRESENT SEASON
A Glance at tie We*tte* AJao-What the
Bojorts Frcm tfce C. 9. ObseiYers All
O\erito State show a i to Existing Conditions.
The second -weekly bulletin of the
condition of the weather and crons of
the State of the present season was is
sued Tuesday; it is as follows:
The week was cool and generally
unfavorable for growing crops, owing
to the prevailing low night tempeperatures.
Lr'ght frost was observed on
two mornings, over the greater portion
of the State and thin ice in the
extreme western portion, but no perceptible
damage was done by tbe
^rost. The mean temperature was 56
degrees which is 8 degrees below the
normal. Tne weekly range of temperature
was between a maximum of
79 on the 11th. at Biackville and on
the loth at Central, and a minimum
of 33 on tne 13th at Walhalla. The
j last two days of the week were warm
and pleasant.
The week's rainfall was quite evenly
distributed over the entire State and
penerallv li?ht. although sufficient
for the needs of all crops and to put
tne ground into good condition for
working. In Laurens and portions of
surrounding counties farm work was
hindered and delayed by the wet condition
of the soil, fcut elsewhere the
rain did not interfere or interrupt work
to any extent, while over the southeastern
portions the ground was dry
and the rain needed and proved very
beneficial.
Eleven places, representing all sections
of the State, reported one inch
or more of rain, and 30 less than one
iDch. The average for the State was
0,77 and the approximate normal for
the same period is 0.82 inch.
The week gave 61 per cent, of the
possible bright sunshine, ranging from
33 to 93 per cent, of the possible, but
cloudiness varied greatly over the
State. The prevailing winds were
cold westerly, and from light to
brisk in force. On the 14fh thunder
suuwera uuuuxrou at a uuuiucr ui
places, accompanied by small hail,
which, however, did no,damage. On
the same day a flurry of snow was
observed in Greenville county.
The week was characterized by ceol,
windy weather and some rain, the
firtwo conditions were unfavorable
and the last favorable. Vegetation
made little growth except on the immediate
coast, and even there the
TTrmm Irvrt ( *rr&y +V?a Aan.

tral and western counties frost formed
on two nights, which while it did not
freeze anything, did materially check
all growth of vegetation. However,
the weex ended with good, growing
weather and a noticeable improvement
in the appearance of field crops.
Except where interrupted by rain,
planting operations advanced rapidly
during the week, and up'aud corn is
about all planted in the more easterly
counties, and from half to two-thirds
finished over she mora westerly portions.
Germination has been slow gen
erally and stands poor except in Edgefield,
where excellent stands are the
rule. Corn that was cut down by frost
shows signs of recovery, but neverthe
less mucn repianung is necessary on
that account and because of seed rotting
in the ground, and also on ac
count of the ravages of cut worms and
birds in places. Early planted corn
is receiving its first workings. It appears
that a somewhat larger acreage
will be devoted to corn this year than
last.
While some cotton has been planted
long enough to come up it germinates
slowly, and that that was ud last weak
will need to be replanted. Planting of
cotton has been fairly begun, over the
whole State, but the bulk of the crop
will be planted bet ween this and the
25th, if the weather permits, as the
ground is generally prepared for it.
In the more easterly counties planting
is generally less than half finished over
the central and western counties. Reports
vary as to the area to be planted
in cot ion, but it appears that a full
crop will be planted and that it is highly
"manured. Sea-island cotton is
coming up well, growing nicely, and
more being planted.
The work of transplanting tobacco
has been begun in Kershaw, Clarendon,
DirJington, Florence, Wiliamsburg
and Horry counties, and will become
general this week. Plants are
plantiful and large. More com me r

lands thaa in previous years, and the
acrage is considerably enlarged, especially
in Florence county, and probably
over the whole tobacco district.
The outlook for a heavy oats crop is
very promising, and from three locali
ties only were unfavorable reports received.
The frosts, of last week and
the cool weather, of this made oats
look yellow in places, but it has a good 1
stand and is stooling well. The wheat ,
prospects are good. Eye is heading
and is being cut for forage in places.
The reports on the fruit prospect are
more definite this week, but do not ;
change the conditions as stated in the :
previous bulletin. In Oconee, Pick- 1
ens, Q-reenville, Snartanburg, Gaffney
and portions of York and Lancaster 1
the bulk of the peaches and plums are J
killed, but there are localities where a I
fair crop is left on the trees; in the J
next tier of counties the bulk of the 1
fruit is safe, but there are many lo- (
calit:e3 where it is almost entirely de- I
stroyed; still further eastward it was (
only in exceptional cases that fruit j
was damaged. Figs may De an excep- j
tion to that statement, but it cannot j
yet be determined. Tne peach crop is !
practically safe; appies, peara, grapes :
and wild berries were unharmed.
In the Florence truck district about ?
one-thrid of the early vegetables were 1
destroyed by frost and some fields are
being plo wed up. Large shipments of
seasonable vegetables continue from
Charleston, and more northorly truck
districts.
Melons are growing poorly and reports
from Barnwell indicate a reduced
acreage in that county. Seed
are scarce there.
Gardens are growing slowly and
need warmer weather; pastures are
very poor generally. Ribbon cane
was not hurt by last week's frost
Considerable sorghum being planted.

THE COAL Q^ESTtCN,
EDClafcil Gives t 5 .-pa'c t>ar if la
Cdtr-?b?ijd oT War.
Ooe of the greatest difficulties Spa'n
will have to conterd with in this war
is her weak facilities for a coal supply.
She has little coal in Cuba, snd ccula
not get it wun her ream fleet it see
had much. Her coal supply at Porto
Rico is very limited. There is plenty
of coal in Spain, but to transport
enough of it safely across the sea and
to find a secure coaling station is a
very difficult problem. A warship
cannot carry enough coal to serve it
for any great length of time, and
Spain will have a hard task in finding
places where she can refresh her coad
supply.
The British colonial c ffije has notified^all
the British colonies that coal
must be considered contraband of war.
txtqC o I
.L.UXO wvviaivu T*?O \J i VAWU u j a ? L
quest for Information forwarded by
toe British colonies in West India.
They are so near Cuba snd Porto
Rico that they are lia Die to be called
on for coal by the Spanish warship?,
and they want to know how to act.
The ruling of the British authorities
in this case follows the precedents
since coal has become the motive power
of warships. Under international
custom a beJligerani ship may take cn
in a neutral port only enough coal to
carry her to the nest friendly port,
and it must be taken avowedly for
that purpose.
This ruling operated strongly
against tne Confederate cruisers which
would have been even more effective
than they were if they could have
always obtained coal. We have the
best facilities for suppljiDgour ships
with coal and great suppMes of it will
crwn lift rklarpri K? tVi? onvfti'nmo'nt in
in the south Atlantic and Gulf ports.
If Spain should fine! herself en this
side the Atlantic -without ;coa! or the
chance to get it in sufficient quantities
her ships would be at our mercy, and
this is a continue acy not unlikely to
occur.
MILITIA MAY FIGHT.
Yolan'.esra Will bs Apportion el in Pioportlon
to Popu'atlon.
Adjutant General Watts Thursday
afternoon received a letter from Secretary
of War Alger through Senator
Tillman, reassuring him that not only
would South Carolina be given a
chance to fight but that every state in
the union would be given a place in
the picture. Seeing in the papers a
few cays since that troops would be
ordered from New York to Charleston
and that regiments from Massacbu
setts, Illinois and Pennsylvania had
also been called upon. General Watts
wrote to Senator Tillman saying that
the South Carolina Militia were ready
to help defend the nation and especially
were they anxious to protect their
own state. It is probably from this
that the report that the governor and
the adjutant general would tender
the president the services of the state
militis, originated. Following is the
letter General Watts received Thursday
afternoon:
War Department,
Washington, D. C.. April 19,1898.
Hon. B. E. Tillman, U. 8. Senate.
Dear Sir: I have your letter of t!?e
16th instant, inclosing the patriotic
letter from Gen. J. Garv Watts, The
first call for an increase in the army
will be made upon the national guard
of the states, each being allowed to
furnish of its militia a number proportionate
to its population of the to
tal number required. You will see
how necessary this is in view of the
fact that the entire national guard
throughout the country is anxious to
serve. You can rest assured that there
will be no favoritism in this matter,
and every state in the Union will to
giyen an opportunity to serve under
the flag in event of war.
Very truly yours,
R A. Alger,
Secretary of War.
Spare The Birds.
r ' Feathers and Fashion" is the title
of an excellent article by J. Carter
Beard in Demorest's Family Magazine.
He says that future generations will
wear lhe fuis of domestic animals and
the plumage of barnyard fowls, for
there will be no other furs and feathers
to wear. Through the wholesome
alftu&hter of birds of beautiful ulum
age, they are fast becoming extinct.
We quote: "England imports more
than twenty-five million of dead bird a
every year in order that their corpses
and feathers may adorn fjs'ijnable
women. In all Europe, three Hundred
million are annually sicrafictd
fjr this pu:p>se. In Chicago one
dealer has received in one season
thirty-two million humming birds
and three hundred thousand other
birds of different varietits" The
beautiful egrets, or snowy white herons,
whicn furnish the fashionable
aigrette, dwelt formerly in thousands
of the swamps of our Southern States,
but are now almost exterminated.
The delicately beautiful plumes, so
much prized in millinery, are worn
by the birds only during the nesting
reason. Thus every aigrtt'.e stands
for a home broken up, parents slaughtered
and little ones left to starve.
But sentiment is not all. There is a
practical view to be taken. We quote
igain: ' kThe natural and only effective
check for insects is the birds.
Every average insectivorous bird de strojs
at least two thousand four hunired
insects every year of its life. The
great majority ol birds are insectivervifl
Thrtnalvona condemned as ac
>ually usel?J3s and pernicious is the
English sparrow." All others are the
iriends of mankind?especially of the
'armer, gardner and fruitgrower. It
s said that insect life is already on the
ncrease because of the wholesale
ilaughter of birds, and ia places makes
luman life almost unendurable.
Porto K'.cj.
It is probable that Spain's loss of
Duba, which is now inevitable, will
)s followed speedily by the loss of
Porto Rico. Though we hear very
ittle of this island it is a very valuable
md attractive place. It is the fourth

jopulation is between 800.000 and
130,000, about one-third of whom are
isgroes, while nearly all the others
ire of mixed blood. Porto Rico is
luite as fertile as Cuba and produces
is great a variety of crops. The clinate,
however, is not as good as that
>f some of the provinces or' Cuba and
or a great part of the year is very ,

vhich Spain once owned in the west>rn
world she has lost all but Cuba

i Repre^entJitive Hull of Iowa, chairJ
man of tbe ncusscommiltfe on ooili;

administration bill authorizing tfce
President to issue a call for volunteers
to tha number of 60,000 or 70,000 men.
It was considered at once by the committee
and its pss-aze will be expedited
as rapidly aW-possible and will take

cms States for quotas in making up the
aggrefcattf, By . reading ia this way
instead of specificially locking to calling
out the various State militia, will
avoid several embarrassing technicali
ties, a main one being the constitutional
inhibition on sending State
militia out of the country, while volun
teers so called for can be ordered anywhere.
It is likely that if the situation
develops into such grave proportions
as is now expected, a second call
for ICO,000 volunteers -will be issued
by the President. Secretary Alger,
now that we are pn the verge of war,
has deciied not to make public movements
of troops or any news that
might be of advantage to'an enemy.

Spain as a Sea Fowtr.
Sofarasiea fighting is concerned
Spain has been a complete failure fcr
more than three hundred years, and it
is not likely that she will cut much of
a figure in a naval war with the United
States. She has not won a light
with any other nation on the sea since
the battle of L?panto, when joined
with the Yenetiaos and Genoese, she
overcame the Turkish fleet. Three
hundred and ten yeirs ago Francis
Drake annihilated what the storm
had lift of the Invincible Armada,
Nelson struck Spain another
terrific Wow when he met the combined
Spanish and French fleets at
Trafalgar. Since that time there
have been several 3ti iking instances
of Spanish incompetency in naval

which was shown in her expedition
against Peru, in 1866, on account of
alleged mistreatment of some Spanish
subjects. : The Spanish squadron
.an -that expedition consisted
of seven vessels, mounting twentjservenguns,
and to oppose it the Peruvians
borrowed three crafts from
Chili, one a vessel carrying forty two
smooth bores, one a small one-gun
monitor, and the third- a diminutive
Merrimac, carrying two guns. The
result of the engagement was the utter
discomfiture of the Spaniards. The
Esmejalda captured a Spanish gunboat
in twenty minutes without the
loss of ft man, wnereupon the Spanish
admiral retired to his cabin and blew
out his brains. His successor -retired
from acticn and took vengeance oi?
of Chili by bombarding defenseless
Valparaiso and causing a fife that destroyed
$10,000,000 worth of proper
ty. in attaching uauao, nowever,
the Spaniards were badly worsted,
and their ships crawJed back to Spain
in a dilapidated condition. It is believed
by experts that today the Spanish
navy is as higly deficient in gunnery
as for two centuries past, and it is as
true of modern warships as in the old
wcodenones that in action all depends
upon the man behind the gur.
In comparing the relative strength of
our navy with that cf Spain the difference
between the m?n in the ships of
the two nations is is a big factor to be
taken into the account. As we have
also an advantage in the number and
power of ships, it will be seen that in
na^al engagement with us Spain
would have little show.
Suffering In Cuba.
The last, repor ts sent from Cuba to
tie state department by our consuls
give information which confirms the
most distressing reports of suffering
among the people. The country believed
for a long time that the newspaper
stories.of the conditions in Cuba
vrere greatly exaggerated, but Senator
Proctor's power.ut statement of what
he observed in the unhappy island
and subsequent reports Jrom trustworthy
sources .have convinced the
public that the worst had not been
old. * ..
The number of the destitutes in
the province of Havana alone is placed
at 150,000 by General Lee. The
number of people who were driven
from their homes and deprived of
means of subsistence by Weyler's infamous
order is probably one fourth of
Cuba's entire population. The only
aid our government has given these
starving people was an appropriation
of $12;500 for food, but much more
than that has been contributed by
private charity. Tae newspapers
nave been very active and efficient
in this work, and it is due to them
more than any other ageccy that the
cours8 of starvation in Cuba has been
