DR. TALMAGE. THE NOTED DIVINE’S SUNDAY DISCOUKSE. Subject: “All Heaven Looking On.” Tne subject of Dr. Talmage’s opening ser mon in Washington was: ‘All Heaven Looking On," the text selected being the famous passage from Hebrews xii., 1: “See ing we also aro compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses.” In this my opening sermon in the National Capital I give you heartiest Christian saluta tion. I bethink myself of the privilege of standing in this historic church, so long pre sided over by one of the most remarkable men of the century. There aro plenty of good ministers beside Dr. Sunderland, but I do not know of any man except himself with enough brain to have stood successfully and triumphantly forty-three years in this con spicuous pulpit. Long distant be the year when that gosoel chieftain shall put down the silver trumpet with which he has marshaled the hosts of Israel or sheathe the sword with which he has struck strch mighty blows for God and rlghteOusnes 3 . T come to you with the same gospel that he has preached and to join >ou in all kinds of work for making the world better, aud I hope to sec you all in yourowa homes and have you all come and see me, bnF don’t all come at once. And without any preliminary discourses as to what I propose' to do I begin here and now’ to cheer you with the thought that all heaven is sympatheti cally looking on. “Seeing we also are com passed about with so great a cloud of wit nesses.” Crossing the Alns by the Mont Cenis pass, or through the Mont Cenis tunnel, you are in a few hours set down at Verona, Italy, and in a few minutes begin examining one of the grandest ruins in the world—tho amphitheater. Tho whole building sweeps around you in a oirele. You stand in the arena where the combat was once fought or the race run, and on all sides tho s^ats rise tier above tier until vou count forty elevations or galleries—as I shall see flit to call (herr.—in ■which sat the senators, tho kings and the 25,001 excited specta tors. At the sides of the arena and under the galleries are the cages in which the lions and tigers are kepi without food until, frenzied with hunger aud thirst, they are let oht upon some poor victim, who. with his sword and alone, is condemned to meet them. I think that Paul himself once stood in such a place, and that it was not only figuratively, but literally, that he had “fought with beasts at Ephesus.” The gala day lias come. From all the world the people are pouring into Verona. Men. women and children, orators and senators, great men and small, thousands upon thousands come, until the first gallery is full, and the second, the third, tho fourth, the fifth— all the way up to (he twentieth, all the way up to the thirtieth, all the way up to tho fortieth. F.very place is filled. Immensity of audience sweeping the great circle. Silence! The time for the contest has come. A Roman official loads forth the victim into the arena. Let him get hisFthvorl. with firm grip, into his right hand. The 25,000 sit breathlessly watching. I hear the door at the side of the arena creak open. Out plunges the half starved lion, his tongue athirst for blood, aud with a roar that brings all the galleries to their feet lie rushes against tho sword of tho com batant. Do you know how strong a stroke a man will strike when his life depends nnon the first thrust of his blade? The wild beast, lame aud blee ling, slinks back toward !he side of the arena. Then, rally ing his wastiugscreugtb, he comes up with fiercer eye and more terrible roar than ever, on'v to bo driven back with a fatal wound, while the combatant comes in with stroke after stroke, until the monster is dead at his feet, and the 25,000 people clap their hands and utter a shout that makes the city trem ble. Sometimes the audience cams to see a race, sometimes to see gladiators fight each other, until the people, compassionate for the fallen, turned their thumbs up as nu ap peal that tho vanquished bo spared, and sometimes the combat was with wild bsasts. To au nmpliitheatrical audience Paul re fers when he says. “We are compassed about with so great a clov.d of witnesses.” The fact i-^that every Christii dor is insufferable. Here are tho guardian an'/els. That one watched a patriarch; thi* one protected a child;'that one has been pull ing a soul out of temptation! All those aro messengers of light. Those drove the Snan- :sr armada on the rocks. This turned Sen nacherib’s living hosts into a heap of 185.000 corpses. Those yonder chanted tb'i Christmas carol over Betble- h’ra until tho chant awoke the shepherds. These, at creation, stood in tho balcony of heaven and serenaded the new-^- bom world wrapped in swaddling clothes 6T light. And there, holier and mighter than all, is Michael, the archangel. To command an earthly host gives dignity, but this one is leader of the 20.000 chariots of God and of the tea thousand timssden thousand angels. I think God gives command to the arch angel. anct archangel to the seraphim, and the seraphim to the cherubinij until all the lower orders of heaven hear the com mand and go forth on the high behest. Now bring on your lions! Who can fear? All the spectators in the angelic gallery are our friends. “He shall give His angels charge over thee to keep thee in aM thy ways. They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a ..stone. Though shalt trea l upon the lion and adder; the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample ua lerfoot.” Though the arena be crowded with tempta tions. we sha'l. wilh the angelic help, strike them down in the name of our God end lean on their falleo carcasses! Oh, bending throng of bright, angelic faces aud swift wings and lightning foot. I hail you to-lay from the dust and struggle of the arena ! I look again, and I see the gallery of the prophets and apostles. Who are those mighty ones up yonder? Hosen and Jeremiah and Daniel and Isaiah aud Paul and Peter and John and James. There sits Noah, waiting ^ for all the world to come into tho ark. and Moses, waiting till tie la«t Red Sea shall di vide. and Jeremiah, waiting for the Jews to return, and John of the Apocalypse, waiting J for the swearing of the angel that time shall \ be no longer. Glorious spirits! Yb were ; howled at; ye were stoned: ye wore spit ! upon! They have been in the" fight them selves, and they arc all with us. Daniel knows all about lions. Paul fought with beasts at Ephesus. In the ancient amphitheatre I ho people | got so excited that they would shout from , the galleries to the men in the arena: “At j it again!” “Forward!” “One more stroke!” i “Lookout!” “Fall back!” “Huzza! Huzza!’' ; So in that gallery, prophetic and np'stolic, ! they cannot keen their peace. Daniel cries , out: “Thy God will deliver thee from the mouth of the lions!” David exclaims. “He will not.suffer thy foot to be moved!” Isaiah |•a^l^ollt: “Fea-aol! lam with the«! Be ; not dismayed!” Paul exclaims: “Victory ; through our Lord Jesus Christ!” That i throngof prophets and apostles carrot keep | s'ili. They make the weljpn ring with | shouting and halleluiahs. I look again au 1 I see the gallery of the martyrs. Who is that? Hugh Latimer, sure i enough! He would not apologize for tho ; f ruth preached, and so ha did, the night ! before swinging from the bedpost in perfect ! glee at the thought of emancipation. AVho 1 are that army of They arc tho ! Theban legion who die 1 for the faith. Here j ■s a larger host in magnificent array-884.- ! 000—who perished for Christ in the perse- j eution of Diocletian. Yonder is a family group—Feiieitas. of Rome, and her chit- ! dren. While they were dying for tho faith I she stood encouraging them. One son was ! whip pc l to death by thorns, another was | filing from a rock, another was beheaded, j At last the mother beeamt a martyr. There , they are, together—a family group in heav- ! en! Yonder is John Bradford, who said in i the fire, “We shall have a merry supper with 1 the Lord to-night.” Yonder is Henry Voep, I ho died, “If I had should all fall ofl great throng of the martyrs! They had hot lead poured down their throats, horses were fastened to their hands and otdier horses to their feet, and thus they were pulled apart. They had their tongues pulled out by redhot pinchers; they w’ere sewed up in the skins of animals and ; then thrown to the dogs; they were daubed with combustibles andset on fire! If all the ! martyrs’ stakes that have been kindled | could be set at proper distances, they : would make the midnight all the world I over bright as noonday! Aud now they j sit yonder in the martyrs’ gallery. For them the fires of persecution have gone out.

Doings of the Chiefs and Heads of the Various Departments A cablegram was received at Wash ington Saturday morning announcing the sudden death, by heart failure and pnenmonin, of the wife of Ambassador James B. Eustis, at the residence of her son, George Enstis, at Ratoath, near Dublin, Ireland. President Cleveland and party reach ed Washington Thursday night at 8:12 o’clock from tho Atlanta exoosition, eighteen minutes ahead of schedule time. The trip was made withont tho slightest accident or delay and Post master General Wilson said they were greeted most cordially in Atlanta and had a delightful time. Crowds met the president at Charlotte, Salisbury, Greensboro, Danville and Lynchburg. Every member of the president’s party was delighted with the trip and is Ion 1 in praise of the perfect service of the Southern railway. The members of the cabinet pursued no formal method of visiting the At lanta exposition, some going with one party of escorts, some with another, but wherever they were they expressed tbon^Ws pleased with the tfforts of t^e'soutbern people and of Atlanta to moke a Jpplemliil exhibit of southern resource^- I Q their visit around tho yirpci/l xl lueir visit, around tho grounds |he president, the vice presi dent and^the members of the cabinet were surrdmnded by great crowds, aud those who! were not enabled to get through t&e crush at the public hand shaking, sought to get a look at the distinguished party. Secretary* Morton is enthusiastic over tho Atlanta exposition, which, ns an educational institution, he says is incomparably superior to tho Chicago world’s fair. He says President Gil man, of Johns Hopkins university, who sat next, to him at dinner in At lanta, told Lini he had visited all tho great expositions and none of them equaled Atlanta educationally. The president’s parity was deeply impressed with 'ho evidept prosperity of the southern country through which their train passed an t the rapid improve ment shown on 1 every hand. There were as many mote new cotton mills in process of erectio|n along the line, as there were completed ones a year ago Will Taljjt of Seals. It is stated officially that Hon. Mac- yuzio Rowell, premier of Canada, ‘Sir Charles Tapper, minister of BlBM^^PtiaadiaQ cabinet, will ^^'>n within a few ■ing seal cor me I’ast Week. Favorable reports as to sonthern in dustrial conditions during the past week indicate that tho large apecula- tive movement in cotton has kept the market very active. Good judges be lieve that cotton is really worth from 8j to 9$ cents, because of the short crop, the reports as to which are more unfavorable from day to day. Iron is steady and less active. Tho sales and deliveries have prevented any ac- cnmnlation of pig iron in southern | furnace yards, and the visible supply 1 is not in excess of the regular wants of tho trade. Reports are current ns to large additions to the number of furnaces in tho Birmingham district, and furnaces continue to blow in, the furnace capacity not seeming to be lar ger than is required. Active specula tion in southern iron is much less no ticeable than it has been, and the reg ular trade is doing a very large busi ness. Coke and coal are growing steadily in demand. A firm coke and coal market is taking all shipments as sent forward, and the great bulk of business is based on favorable con tracts. Textile mills are renewedly active. The week’s report contains reference to a $500,000 cotton mill at Newport News, Va., of three addi tional ones to a cotton mill plant near Atlanta, Go., a $150,000 mill at Aus tin, Texas, a large mill at Rome, Ga., a $50,000 cotton and woolen mill at Cedar town, Ga., and a woolen mill at Atlanta, Ga. Among the important new industries established or incorporated during tho week are the Marietta Paper Manufac turing Co. at Marietta, Ga., capital $150,000; the Consumers’ Brewing Co. of Norfolk, Va., also with $150,- 000 capital, and the Planters’ Commis sion Co., limited, of New Orleans, La., to engage iu molasses reboiling, capi tal $100,000. Tho Calhoun Cotton Seed Oil Co., capital $100,000, has been chartered at Piedmont, Ain.; the Perfection Cigarette Mnchino Co., capital $50,000, at Richmond, Va. ; tho Berliner Gramophone Co. at Roan oke, Va., with $50,000 capital; the Columbia Guano Co. of Norfolk, Va., capital $25,000; the Allen & Cram Machine Co. of Raleigh, N.
