June 24.?For today Itev. Dr. Talmase has chooser: a subject of world wide interest &3 the theme cf his sermon thronsh the press ?v'z the necessity of guarding the christian Sabbath against invasions that aim at its destruction. The text selected was Exodus xxxi, 13, ''Veriiy my Sabbaths ye shall keep." The wisdom ofcessatioo from bard labor one day cut of the seven is almoat universally acknowledged. The world has found out that it can do less work in seven days than in six, and that the 52 davs of the Tear devoted to rest are an addition rather than a subtraction. Experiments have fcfeen made in all departments. The great Lord Castlereagh thought he could work his brain 365 day3 m the year, butafrer awhile broke down and commited suicide and Wikeforce said ol him: 'T'oor Castlereagt! Thir is the result of the nonobservance ot the Sabbath!" A celebrated merchant declared, "I shouid have been a maniac long aec but for the Sabbath." The nerves, the brain, the muscles, the bones, the entire physic al, intellectual and moral nature cry cut for the Sabbath resi. What is true ot man is for the most part Irue.cf the brute. Travelers have found out that they come to their places of destination sooner when they let their horses rest oy the way on the Sabbath. What is the matter with those forlorn creatures harnessed to some of the city cars? Why do they stumble and stagger and fall? It is Or the lack ot the Sabbatic rest. In other words, when the herdsmen drove their sheep and cattle from the far west down to the seaboard, it was found oat by experiment that those herdsmen and drovers who halted over the seventh day got down sooner to the seaboard than those who passed on without the j observance of the holy Sabbath. The i fishermen off the coast of Newfoundland i declare that those men during the year ; catch tbemo8t fish who stop curing the 1 Lord's day. J When I asked the Rocky mountain engineer why he changed locomotives 1 when it seemed to be a straight route, ] be said, 4,We have to let the locomotive ! stop and cool cfi or the machinerv would i soon break down." ftleu who made : large quantities of salt were told that if ! they allowed their kettles to cool over Sunday they would submit themselves to a geart deal of damage. The experi- i ment wa3 made, seme observirg the : Sabbath and some not observing the Sab i bath. Those who allowed the fires to ] go down and the kettles to cool once a 1 week were compelled to spend only a j lew pennies in the way of repairs, while ; in the cases where no Sabbath was observed many dollars were demanded for j repairs. i In other words, intelligent man, dumb beast and dead machinery cry oui lor the * Lord's day. Bnt while the attempt to kill the Sabbath by the stroke of ax and . flail and yardstick has beautifully failed i it is proposed in our day to drown the i Sabbath by flooding it with secular < amusements. They would fcury it very decently under the wreath ol the target : company and to the music of all brszen instruments. i There are today id the different cities 10,000 hands and 10,000 pens bu3y in at- < A- AT 4 - A i . U _ . lempung iu cui. uu; iuc ucaii uui ; Christian Sabbath and leave it a bleed- : ins skeleton of what it once was. The i eflort is organized and tremendous, and : unless the friends of Christ and the lovers of good order shall rouse up right ; speedily their sermons and protests will be uttered after the castle is taken. There are cities in the land were the Sabbath has almost perished, and it is becoming a practical question whether we who received a pure Sabbath from the hands of our fathers shall have piety and pluck enough to give to our children the same blesssd inheritance. The eternal God helping us we will! I protest against this invasion of the holy Sabbath in the first place because it is a war on divine enactment. God say8 in Isaiah, "It thcu turn away thy foot from doing thy pleasure on my holy day. thou shalt walk upon the high places," What did he mean by "domg thy pleasure?" He referred to secular and worldly amusements. A man told me he was never somuch frightened as in the midst of au earthquake, when the beasts of the field bellowed in fear and even the barnyard fowls screamed in terror. Well it was when the earth was shaking and the sky was all lull of fire that God made the great announcement, "Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy." Go through the streets where the theaters are open on a Sabbath night; go up on the steps; enter the hexes of inose places 01 entertainment, ana ten me if that is keeping the Sabbath holy. "Oh," says some one. "God won't be displeased with a graDd sacred eoccsrt." A gentleman who was present at a grand sacred concert" one Sabbath night in one ot the theaters of our great cities said that daring the exercises there were comic and sentimental songs interspersed with coarse jokes, and there were dances, and a tarce, and tight rope waiklDg, and a trapeze performance. I suppose it was a holy dance and a consecrated tight rope. This is what they call a "grand sacred concert." We hear a great deal of talk about "the rights of the people" to have ju3t such amusements on Sunday as they want to have. I wonder if the Lord has any rights. You rule your family; the governor rules tho state; the pre3i^ dent rules the whole land. I wonder if the Lsrd has a right to rule the nations and make the enactment, "Kemem'cer the Sabbath day to keep it holy," and if there is any appeal to a higher court from that decision, and if the men who are warring against that enactment are not guilty of high treason against the W#Vm r>f heaven and earth. Thev have in our cit:e3 put God on trial. It has been the theaters and the opera houses, plaintiffs, versus the Lord Almighty, defendant, The suit has been begun, and who shall come cut ahead you know. Whether it be popular or unpopular, 1 now announce it as my opinion that the people have no rights save those which the great Jehoah gives them. He has never given the right to break his holy Sabbath, &Dd as long as his throne stands he never will give that rigni. The prophet asks a question which I can easily answer, "Will a man rob God?" Yes. They robbed him last Sunday night at the theaters and the opera houses, and I charge upon them the infamous and high handed larceny, I hold the same high handed larceny. I hold the same opinion as a sailor I have heard of. The crew had been discharged from the vessel because they would not work Ottaap?juowi , nin.i?ifjj?iimiiim m??Kga? while they were in p">rton the Lord's dnv. The captain wrnt cut to get pallors, lie fouud cue man and he sa;ci to him "Will ycu serve u~e ontbf Sabbaths' "Xo." ' Why lo'?*' '-Wf'!," replied the old sailor, "a man who will rob God Almighty of his Sabbath would rob me of mv wages if he got a chance." Suppose \ou were poor, and sou came to a dry needs merchant and asked him for seme cloth for garments, and he should say, "I'd give you six yard?," and while Le was c ft'from the counter binding up the six yards ycu should go behind the cuioier and steal one addition? 1 yard That 13 what every man dees when Le brsaks the Lord's Sabbath.

I am opposed to this desecration ot the Sabbath bv secu'ar cniertianmeats because it is a war cn the statutes of most of the states. The law in New York state say 3: "It shall not be lawful to exhibit on the first day of the week, commoaly called Sunday, to the public, in any building, garden, grounds, concert room or other rcom cr p'see within the city and county ot New York, any interlude, tragedy, comedy, opera, balie*, play, farce, negro minstrelsy, negro or other dancing, or any other entertainment of the stage,or any part or parts therein, or any equestrian, circus or drematic per formance. or any performance of jug gltrs, acrobats cr rope dancing." Was there ever a plainer enactment than that? Who made the Jaw? You who at the ballot boxes ds cided who should go to Albany and sit ;n the legislature; you who iu any region exercise the right cf suffrage. They made the law far you and for your fami lies, and now I sav that any man who attempts to override the law insults you and me and every man who has the right of suffrage. c?;n T (v/itintjf fh.*! in O'-lil JUULU, JL .. vasioa of the Sabbath because it is a foreign war. Now, if you heard at this moment tbe booming cf a gun in the harbor, or if a shell from some foreign frigate should drop into your street, wculd you keep jour seats in church? l'cu would want to face the toe, and every gun that could be managed would be brought into use, and every ship that could bejbrought out of the navy yard would swing from her anchorage, and the question would be decided. Ycu do not want a foreign war, and yet I have to tell you that this invasion of God's holy day i* a foreign war. As amoDg cu: own Dative born population there are two classes?the good and the bad?so it is with tbe people who come from other shores--there are the law abiding and the lawless. The former are welcome here. The more of them tbe better we like it. But let not the lawless come from other shores ex pecting to break down our Sabbath and institute in the place of it a foreign Sabbath. How do, you feel, ye who have been brcugbt up amid tbe hills of New England, about giving up the American Sabbath; ye who spent your childhood under the shadow of the Adtrondacks or the Catskills; ye who were born on the baDks of the Savannah or Ohio or Oregon, how do you feel about giving up the American Sabbath? You saj: "We shall not give it up. We mean to defend it as long as there is left any strength in our arm or blood in our heart! Do notbriDg your Spanish Sabbath here. Do not bring your Italian Sabbath here. Do not bring your French Sabbaib here. Do not bring vour foreign Sabbath here. It shall be for us and our children forever a pure, oousecialed, Christian, American Sabbath." I will maxea comparison between the American Sabbath, as some of you have known :t, and the Parisian Sabbath. I speak from observation. On a Sabbath morning I was a-Gused in Paris by a great sound m tbe street. I said, "What is that?" "Oil," they said, "this Is Sunday." An unusual rattle of vehicles of all sorts. The voices seemed more boisteroua than on other days. People running to and fro, with baskets or bundles, to get to the rail trains or gardens. It seemed as if all the vehicles tn Paris, of whatever soit. had turned out for tho holiday. The Champ3 Elysees one great mob of pleasure seeking people. Balloons flying. Parrots chattering, Footballs rolling. Peddlers hawking their knickknacks through the streets. Punch and Judy shows in a acore o places, each oue with a shouting audi ence. Hand organs, cymbals and every kind of racket, musical and unmusical. When the evening came down, all the theaters were in lull blsze of music and full blaze of light. The wine 3tore3 and saloons were thronged with an unusual number of customers. At eventide I stood and watched the excursionists coming home, fagged out men, women and children, a gulf stream of fatigued irritability and wretchedness, Or I should thiuK it would take three or four days to get over that miserable way of SuodayiDg. It seemed more like an American Fourth of July than a Chris tian Sabbath. Now, in contrast, I pre3emone of the Sabbaths in one of our best American cities. Holy silence coming down with the day dawn. Business men more deliberately looking into the faces of their children and talking to them about their present and future welfare. Men sit longer at the tible in the morning because the stores are not to be opened, and the mechanical tools are not to be taken up. A hymn is sung:. There are congratulations and good cheer all through the house. The street silent until 10 o.clock, when there is a regular, orderly tramp churchward. Houses of God, vccal with thanksgiving for mercies received with prayers tor comfort, with charities for the poor, liest for the scul. The nerves quieted, the temples cooled, the miud cleared, the scul strengthened and our entire population iurned out on Monday morning 10 yeare younger, better prepared for the duties of this life, better prepared for the life that is to come. Which do you like best?the American Sabbath or the Parisian Sabbatb? I)o you know in what boat the Sabbath came across the seas and landed on our shores? It was in the Mayflower. Do yea know in what boat the Sabbath will leave U3 if it ever goes? It will be in tbe ark that floats over a deluge of national destruction. Still further, I protest against the invasion of the Lord's daybecsureit wroD^s a vast multitude of employees of their rest. The play actors and actresses can have their rest between their engagements, but bow about toe scene s'nitters, the ballet dancers, the caliboy3, the innumerable attendants and supernumeraries of the American theater? Where ie their Sunday to come from? They are paid small salaries at the be3t. Alas for them! They appear on the stage in tiDeel and tassel, with halberds, or in sauze, whirling in too tortures, and they might be mistaken for fairies or queen3, but after 12 o'clock at night you may see them trudging through the m4m/\aL.

Now, ycu propose to take from thousands ot these employees throughout this country, not only all opportunity oi moral culture, but all opportunity of physical rest. For heaven's sake, let the crushing juggernaut stop at least one day in sever. Again, I oppose this modern invasion oi the Cbristiau Sabbath because it is a war on the spiritual welfare of the people. You have a body. Yes. You have a mind? Yes. You have a sou"? Ye*. Which of the secular halls oil the Sabbath day will give that soul any culture? X }w, admitting that a man has a SDlritual and immortal nature, which one of the t-lac^s of amusement will culture i ? Which one of the Sabbath performances will renrncl men of the fact that unless they are born again they cannot see the kingdom rf God?

Is it unreasonable to dtnnnd that it ycu have six days for ihe body and intellect we should have one day at least tor cur immortal sou'? Or, to put it m another shape, do you not really think that our imperishable soul is worth at least oneseventh as much as cur perishable tod>? Au artist has three gems- -acornelian, an aonthyst and a diamond. lie has to cut them and to set them. Which one is he most particular about'? Now, the cornelian is the bodthe amethyst 13 the intellect, the diamond is the soul. For the two former you propose six days of opportunity, while you cll'er no oppcrlunity at all for the last, wh;ch is in value S3 compared with the others like $100,000,000,000 to one far lrng. liesides you must not forget that ninetenthe ? aye, ninety-mine onehuodredths ?of all the Christian eflorls oi this couati v are put forth on the Lord's day. Sunday is the day on which the asylums and hospitals ami the prisons are visited by Christian men. That is the day when tbe youth (f our country get their chief religious lniormatiou in Sunday schools. That is the day when the mo3t ot the charities are collected. That is the day when under that blast of 00,000 Americau pu'pits, the sin of the lan- is as sauked and men are summoned tore- i pent. Wheu yiu make war upon any . part of God's dav, you make war upon s the asylums, and the reform associations, i and the homes of the destitute, and the 1 church of the living God, which is the i pillar and the ground of the tiu'.h. < I am opposed to the iovasion of the 1 Sabbath because it is a war on ourpoii- i ileal institutions. When the Sabbath goes- down, the republic goes down, 1 Men who ate not willing to obey God's ? law in regard to Sabbath observance are f not lit to govern themselves. Sabbath t breaking means dissoluteness, and dis? ? soluteQess is incompatible with self gov- 1 ernment. They wanted a republic in ( Fiance After awhile they got a repub- j lie, but one day Napoleon III, with his < cavalry, rode "through the streets, and < down went the republic under the clat- ] tering hoofs.

Abolish the 1 Sabbath, and ycu abolish ycur religious j privileges. Let the bad work go on, i and you have "the commune," and you i have "the revolu3ion," and you have ; the sun of national prosperity going i down in darkness and blood. From that i reign of terror may the God of peace de- i liver U3. < Still farther, I am opposed to this inva- j sion of the Sabbath because it is unfair, . and it is partial. While pecular amuse- i ments in different cities are allowed to I be open on the Sabbath day, dry goods j establishments mast be closed, and plumbing establishments, aDd the butch- i er's, and the baker's, and the shoemak- ] er's, and the hardware stores. Xow, ? tell me by what law of justice you com- < pel a man to shut the door of his store ( while you keep open the door of your i worldly establishment."

We will never surrender ou j Christian Sabbath for the purpose of helping these violaters to pay their ex- 1 penses. Above all, my confidence i3 in < the good hand of God that has been over < our cities smce their foundation. But I < call this day upon all those who befriend i Christian principle, and those who love < our political freedom, who stand in solid j phalanx tn this Thermopylae of our < American history, for I believe as certain ' ly as I stand here that the triumph or i overthrow of American institutions de < pends upon tnis baooauc corneal i Bring your voices, your pens, your < printing presses and your pulpits into i the Lord's artillery corp3 for the defense i of our holy day.

June 25.?President Carnot was assassinated on the streets of Lyons 1 lonigbl by Ce3are Giovanni Santo. lie 3ied at 12:45 Monday morning. To describe the excitement in this city would 1 J t he almost impossible. The President was visiting Lyons in connection wiih e Lhe International Exhibition. Upon bis 1 arrival here, he was tendered a reception i it the Prefecture, after which he visited f the exhibition. After spending some I Lime at the exhibition, he proceeded to 1 the Palais Le Commerce,, where a ban* * }uet was given in his honor. At 0:25 tonight President Carnot started fnr the theatre, where a gala r>er- ! formance was to be given because cf his j presence in the city. Several carriages ^ were in the procession, the first one be- f Dg occupied by the President. Carnot's J carriage wa=> driven slowly along in front t )f the Palace of Commerce, and then 2 lurned into Rue I)e La Republiaue still 1 oilowing the facade oi the palace. When s ialf way down the street which was c lined with enthusiustic crowds of people, ! who were loudly cheering a man rushed 1 )ul of the crowd and spraug upon the c step oi the President's landau. dust at this moment, Carnot was T waiviog his right baud and saluting with i'S hat in his left hand in response to > .he ovation that was being given to g lim by the crowd. The people close to c .he carriage saw that the man stand- f ng on the step had a kcite ia his hand. \ By the glare of the electric lights, they I aw the bright blade gleaming in the air, ^ is the assassin's arm descended, and i .hen President Carnot was seen to fall * jack in his seat, his face deathly pale. * 3ne of his hands was pressed over his j leart, where the steel had entered his tody. c M. Rivaud, prefect of Lyons, who ^ was seated beside Carnot, immediately [ struck the assassin a blow full in the i ace and knocked him from the step, .bus preventing the man from again t stabbing the President, which it was s jib evident intention to do. Instantly iries of "Le Pre3icent Est Assassins < Mort A La Assassin" were heard on t j xi? j t_ it.. x_ f jvery siae anu me crowu m me vicinity )f the carriage swelled to enormous pro- 1 portions, every member of it seemingiv . ntent upon killing the assassin. He vas grasped by a dczen hands and his . ife would have then and there paid the iorieit of his crime, had it not been for ( several sergeants de ville, who secured j nim and attempted to draw him away rc :rom his captors. This was found to be t mpos3ible, as the infuriated populace vere determined to lynch the man 1 md the efforts of the sergeants averted ? nothing beyond saving the men from 1 nstant death. Blows were aimed it his face and head over the shoulders * )f the police, who arrived by this time, * ind manv of the blows landed fairly. , &t last the police succeeded m driving \ Lhe howling mob back a foot or so from .heir prisoner, but to get the captive ( iway was a physical impossibility. c In the meantime the news of the at- i tempted murder spread with lightningike rapidity and mounted guards were ? sent to the aid of the policemen, who ( ivere still struggling to preserve the life * 3f the assassin. With drawn sabres in 1 ;heir hands, the guards rode dcwn into . the swirling crowd, which slow!} gave j 3ca\7 hAfmfi the horses and at last the ?T fc% J center of the mob wa3 reached. Then i cordon was formed around the then ilmost exhausted policemen and their japtive and marched to the police station. Even thus surrounded, the prisoner was not safe, as men in the crowd rade frantic endeavors to reach him. The guards repelled these atiracks with :he flat sides of their swords, while at the same time keeping: watchful eyes npon the crowd to prevent the prisoner from being shot. Maledictions were poured upon the captive and never be- 1 :ore has such a wild indignation against . i human being been seen in this city. la the meantime, physicians were ( nastily summoned to attend the Presi- i lent, who had almost immediatelv been t conveyed to the Prefecture. A careful \ sxamtnation was made of the wound t and the doctors declared that the con. \ liiion cf M. Caroot was hopeless. The 1 receipt ot the news of assassination 1 caused a great sensation at the Grand ' Phertre, which was filled to the vails by 1 1 ^/-vf 7 \irr\o All cetera tofiifinor LUC CiltC CI J uw? AJLii. " v*v TV*-****.*.} with impatience the arrival of the Presi dent and all were unable to understand the delay. Suddenly a nun entered the theatre crying it the Lop of his voice: "The President has been assassinated." The most intense excitement followed this abrupt innouncement. In the midst of it, Prefect Rivaud appeared in the President's box and amid profound silence, said, in a yoice broken with eol>3, "The President has jii3t been assassinated." Thi3 announcement was received with i terrible explosion of fury( as the audience when the lirst report of the as 3assination was received, had, though greatly excited, generally discredited it. The theatre resounded with shouts of "A mort all assassin," and cries for vengeance upon him. When 3ilence was in a measure restored, M. Rivaud continued. "Iu the Rue de la Republique a miscreant, under the pretext of presenting a petition, stabbed M. Carnot with a dagger." Rivaud was again interrupted with shouts of "death to the murderer, revenge, revenge." Waiving his hand for silence, Rivaud spoke again, saying: l)o not make my mission more painful. We left M. Carnot in the hands of doc- . tors. You understand that under these conditions our hearts are tilled with sorrow and that the proposed performance in the President's honor, cannot take * place." The audience then left the t Knil.iinor manv of Ihp.m nrooeedino' a.I r once to the Prefecture, where they stood j in the streets waiting lor reports. Santo, the assassin, is a beardless young man, 20 or 25, years old. When arrested he wa3 arrayed in a broadcloth :Uit and wore a peaked cap that matched the suit in color. As he marched undea bis police guard from the de la Republics to the station he held his head down but his eyes glanced furtively ivround as though he was seeking an opportunity to escape from his raptors. To have made such an attempt however, would have been the height of Ebolhardiness unless he desired to commit suicide, for there is not the slightest j Joubt that had he got away from the f protection afforded him by the police he j. would have been torn limb from limb c by the crowd, whose everv action . showed that they were thirsting for his I blocd. Santo, who speaks French badly, t when questioned by Prefect Lepine at e the police station in Rue Moliere, said t be had lived at Cette, department of j Herault, for the past six months, and t aad only come to Lyons today. He *ave his age as 22 years. His replies were given coolly, but without any sign ot bravado. He refused, however, Lo answer any of the many questions t put to him legarding his motive for y stabbing the president, declaring tbat rj do this subject he would speak only bs- y tore the tribunal. When he was searched v the police a book was found in one of v lis pockets in which it was written that 1 w ie had been bom in a village in the produce ot Milan, lla.y.

A YEAR WITHOUT A SUMMER. ltrmarkib'.e Weather Experience In the i L'.itte<l Statf8 Daring; 1810. 1 Almost every one has heard of the * terrible dark year in the early part of 1 the present century. While everyone C is speaking of the present season as be- t ing remarkable in its characteristics r we have gathered for our readers some t reliable facts of the year 1810, known as ( the "year without a summer." Few per- j sons now living can recollect it; but it t was the coldest ever known through- ^ out Europe and America. The follow- [ ins? is a brief abstract of the weather T during the year: I January was mild?so much as to c render tires almost neealess in parlors. \ December previous was very cold. j February was not very cold; with the < exception of a few days it was mild j like its predecessor. March was cold and boisterous during i the tirstpart of it; the remainder was 1 mild. A great freshet on the Ohio and Kentucky rivers caused great loss of property. April began warm, and ended in snow and ice with a temperature more like f winter than spring. May was more remarkable for frowns ? than her smiles. Buds and llowers i were frozen; ice formed half an inch ! thick; corn was killed, and the lieids i were again and again planted until i deemed too late. I June was the coldest ever known ia i this latitude. Frost, ice and snow were , common. Almost every green thing , was killed. Fruit was nearly all j destroyed. Snow fell to the depth of ten inches in Vermont, seven inches in Maine and three inches in New York and also in Massachusetts. Considerable damage was done at New Orleans in consequence of the rapid rise in the river, the suburbs were covered with 1 water and the roads were only passable I in boats. 1 July was accompanied /Vith frost and < ice. On the Gth, ice was formed of the . tnuccj nf mmmflT! window glass l throughout New Eogland, New York and some parts of Pennsylvania. Indian 1 com was nearly all destroyed. Same ' favorably situated ilelds escaped. 'This I was true of some of the hill farms of I Massachusetts. August was more cheerless, 4f possible than the summer months already passed. Ice was formed half an inch thick. Indian corn was so frc/.en that the greater part of it was cut down and cured for fodder. Almost every green thing was destroyed, both in this country and Europe, papers received from Europe stated that it would be remembered by the present generation that the year of 1816 was a year in which there was no summer. Very little corn rippened in New England and the Middle States farmers supplied themselves from the corn produced in 1815 for the seed of the spring of 1817. It sold at from ?4 to 85 a bushel. September furnished about two weeks of the mildest weather of the season. Soon after the middle it became very cold and frosty, and ice formed a quarter of an inch thick. October produced more than its share of cold weather?frost and ice abundantly. November was cold and blustery. Enough snow fell to make good sleigh lDg. December was quite, mild and comfortable. The above is a brief summary of the cold Summer of 1816 as it was called to distinguish it from the cold seasons. The winter was mild. Frost and ice were common in every month of the year. Very little vegetation matured in the Eastern and Middle States. The sun's rays seemed to be. destitute of heat through the summer; all nature seemed to beclad in sable hue and men were anxious concerning future life. THE "I WIN COMMENCEMENTS.

The further exploration of the Point-Y-Peidd mine which an explosion occurred yesterday, has shown that the disaster was far beyond anything imagined last night. The number of dead is 251. The original report that only 200 men were in the mine at the time was due to a misunderstanding on the part ot the manager, who thought that a shaft of miners had just come up. iiany of the dead bodies were mangled beyond recognition. Crowds of women, who have not slept since the explosion, still surround the pit, awaiting news from husbands and brothers. Exploration of the mine 13 slow and difficult, owing to the blocking of the galleries with dead horses. Musical Homes are Happy Home*. Have you ever noticed it?
