THE JUDGMENT DAY.
A Sermon Preached by Dr. Tnlinago in
Cork, Ireland, Before an Immense Audi?
ence Upon the Subject of the Last Judg
ment.
Text: "When the son of man shall
come in his glory, and -all the holy angels
with him, then shall he Bit upon the throne
of his glory; and before him shall be
gathered all nations ; and he shall separate
them one from another, as a shepherd
divideth his sheep from the goats.'?''?Mat?
thew, ch. 25. v. 31, 32.
Half way between Chamouni, Switzer?
land, and Martigny I reined in the horse
on which I was riding, and looking off
upon the most wonderful natural amphi?
theatre of valley and mountain and rock,
and I said to my companion, "what an
appropriate place this would be for the
last judgment. Yonder overhanging
rock the place for the judgment seat.
These galleries of surrounding hills oc?
cupied by attendant angels. This vast
valley, sweeping miles this way and miles
that, the audience room for all nations."
But sacred geography does not point out
the place. Yet we know that somewhere,
sometime, somehow, an audience will be
gathered together stupendous beyond all
statistics, and just as certainly as you
and I make up a part of this audience
today,vwe,,will make up. a part,pi that
audience!on ihat'day.. j / . .
A common sense of justice in every
man's heart demands that there shall be
somo great winding up day, in which
that which is now inexplicable shall be
explained. Why did that good man
puffer, and that bad man prosper ? You
say, "I don't know." B?t I must' know.
Why is it that good Christian woman
dying jof what .ia called a spider cancer,
while that daughter of folly'sit^wWpped
in luxuriance, ease, and health? You
say, "I don't know." But I must know.
There are so many wrongs tobe wrighted
that if there were not some great right
ning-up day in the presence of all ages,
there would be an outcry against God
from which His glory would never recov?
er. If God did not at last try the nations,
the nations would try Him. We are,
therefore, ready for the announcement of
the text.
The world never saw Christ except in
disguise. If onfce.'wlreD. Ee was on earth,
He had let out His glory, instead of the
blind eyes being healed all visions would
have been extinguished. No human eye
could have endured it. And instead of
bringing the dead to life, all around
about him would have been slain under
that overpowering effulgence. Disguise
of human flesh f ' Disguise of seamless
robe! Disguise of sandal 1 Disguise of
voice! From Bethlehem caravansary to
the mausoleum in the rock; a complete
disguise. But oh the day of which I
speak the Son of Man will come in His
glory.- No hiding of his lustre.. No
sheathing of strength. No suppression
of grandeur. No wrapping out of sight
of the Godhead. Any fifty of the most,
brilliant sunsets that you ever., saw ou-;
land or sea would be .dimas compared'
with the cerulean appearance on that
day when Christ rolls through and rolls
o n/a nd; npljs, dr/rca i n; His glory." The a i r-,
wiiUBfeaal'Sbfoont wjtlrhis presence; ?ml
everything from horizon to'horison aflame
with His splendor.
Elija rode up the sky-steep in a chariot,,
the wheels of whirling-fire1 and the horses'
of galloping fire, and the charioteer
drawing reins of fire on bits of fire!
But Christ will need no such equipage,
for the law of gravitation will be laid
aside, and Christ will descend swiftly
enough to make speedy arrival, but slow?
ly enough to allow the gaze of millions
of spectators. In His glory! Glory of
form, glory of omnipotence, glory of
holiness, glory of justice, glory of love.
In His glory! An unveiled an uncover?
ed God descending to meet the human
race in an interview which will be pro?
longed onlyjtfor a few hours, and yet
which shall Bettle all the past and all the
present and all the future, and be closed
before the end of that day, which will
close, not with setting sun, but with the
destruction of the planet as a snuffer
takes o'f the top of a burned wick.
It is a solemn time in a court room
wheu there is an important case on hand,
and the judge of the superior co* rt
enters, and he sits down, and with gavel
strikes on the desk commanding bar and
jury and witnesses and audience into
silence. All voices are hushed, all heads
are uncovered. But how much more
judgment seat on the last day of the last
week of the last month of the last year
of the world's existence, and with gavel
of thunderbolt shall smite the mountains,
commanding all the land and all the sea
into silence.
Can you-have auy doubt about who it
is on -the seat on the judgment d?y?
Better make investigation, to see whether,
there are any scars about him that reveal
his person. Apparel may change. You
cannot always tell by apparel.. But scars
will tell the story after allje.lse fails! _JL
find under His left arm a scar, and on
His right foot a scar, and on His left foot
a scar. Oh, Yes, He is the Son of Man.
Man in his glory. Every mark of wound
now a badge of victory, every ridge
showing the fearful gash now telling the
story of pain and sacrifice which He.
suffered in behalf of the human race.
'But what is all that commotion and
flutter, and surging to and fro above
Him and on either side of Him ? It is a
detailed regiment of heaven, n constabu?
lary angelic, pent forth to take part in
that scene, and to execute the mandates
that shall be issued. Ten regiments, a
hundred regiments, a thousand regiments
of angels; for on that day all heaven
will be emptied out of its inhabitants to
let them attend the scene. All the holy
angels. From what a center to what a
circumference! Widening out and
widening out, and higher up and higher
up. Wings interlocking wings. Galle?
ries of cloud above galleries of cloud, all
filled with the faces of angels come to
listen and come to watch, and come to
help on that day for which all other days
were made. '.Who are those two taller
and more conspicuous angels? The one
is Michael, who is the commander of all
those. who come out to destroy sin.. The
other is Gabriel, who is announced as
commander of .all those who come .forth
to help the (righteous. Who is that
mighty angel near the throne ? That is
the resurrection angel, his lips still aquiv
er and his cheek a flush with the blast
that shattered the cemeteries and woke
the dead. Who is that other great angel,
with dark1: and overshadowing brow"?
That is the one,. who, in one night, by
one flap of his wing, turned 185,000 of.
Sennacherib's host into corpses. Who
are those bright immortals near the
throne, their faces partly turned toward
each other as though.about to singt Oh,
they arc the Bethlehem chanters of the
first Christmas night. Who are this
other group standing so near the throne ?
They are" the Savior's especial body
guard, which hovered over Him in the
wilderness, and administered to Him in
the hour of martyrdom, and heaved away
the rock of His sarcophagus, and escort?
ed Him upward on ascension day, now
appropriately, escorting Him down.
Divine glory flanked on both sides by
angelic radiance.
But now lower your eye from the
Divine and angelic to the human. The
entire human race is present. All
nations, says my text. Before that time
ttte 4raerKan republic, the English gov?
ernment, the French repnblic, all modern
modes of government may be oblitered
for something better; but all nations,
whether dead or alive, will be brought
up into that assembly. Thebes and T^yre
and Baylon and Greece and Rome as
wide awake in that assembly as though
they had never slumbered amid the dead*
nations. Europe, Asia, Africa,- North
when Christ shall take the
-;-?JT-?~-~. ? ? - ?
and South America, all the nineteenth
century, the eighteenth century, the
twelfth century, the tenth century, the
fourth century?all centuries present.
Not one being that ever drew the breath
of life but will be in that assembly.
Vast multitude! No other audience a
thousai-^wh part as large. No human
eye could look across it. Wing of alba?
tross and falcon and eagle not strong
enough to fly over it. A congregation, I
verily believe, not assembled on any
continent, because no continent would
be large enough to hold it. But as the
Bible intimated, in the air. The law of
gravitation unanchored, the world moved
out of its place. As now sometimes on
earth a great tent is spread for somu
great convention, so over that great audi?
ence of the judgment shall be lifted the
blue tent of the sky, and underneath it
for floor the air made buoyant by the
hand of Almighty God. A. suspended
auditorium. An architecture of atmos?
pheric galleries strong enough to hold up
worldB. Surely the two. arms of God's
almightinessare two pillars strong enough
to hold up worlds. Surely the two arms
of God's almightiness are two pillars
strong enough to hold up any auditorium.
But that audience is not to remain in
session long. Most audiences on earth
after an hour or two adjourn. Sometimes
in court,-rooms ?n.jpi?dience will tarry
four or five hours, ouVfhen it adjourns.
So this audience spoken-of; in.the .text
wiiLadjourhr My text says': '"He will
separate them one1 from another as a
shepherd divideth the sheep from the
goats."
"No," says my friend, "let them all
stay together." But the text says: "He
shall separate them." "No," says the
kings of this world, "let men have their
choice, and if ;hey prefer monarchial
institutions let them go 'together, and if
they prefer Republican institutions, let
them go together." "No," says the con?
ventionalities of this world, "let all those
who moved in what is called high circles
go together, and all those who on earth
moved in low circles go together. The
rich together, the poor together; the
wise together, the ignorant together."
Ah ! no. Do you not notice in that
assembly the king is without his sceptre,
and the soldier without his uniform, and
the bishop without his pontifical ?ring,
and the millionaire without his certificates
of stock,, and Iha xonvict';without his
chain, and the beggar without his ragp,
and the illiterate without his bad orthog?
raphy, and all of us without any distinc?
tion of earthly equality ? I take it from
that, as well as from my text, that the
mere accident of position in this world
will do nothing toward deciding the
questions of that very great day. .
"He will separate them as a shepherd
divideth the sheep from the goats." The
sheep, the clenlinest creatures, here made
a symbol of those who have all sins
washed away in the fountain of redeem?
ing mercy...,The goat,- one of the filthiest
ofjjreatures here, a type of those who in
the;last judgment will be found never to
have had any divine ablution. Division
according to character. Not only char?
acter, outside, Jbut. characte^Jnaide.
Character of hearty- charactief fcti|biM
character, of allegiande, . 'charandr 'of
affection, character inside as well as
characteroutside.
Hn many a caee it will be.a complete
and immediate^ reversal of all earthly
conditions. Some who in this world
wore patched apparel will take on rai?
ment lustrous as Summer noou. Some
who occupied a palace will take a dun?
geon. Division regardless of all earthly
caste, and some who were down. will be
up, and some who were up will be down.
Oh, what a shattering of conventionali?
ties! What an upheaval of all social
rigidities, what a turning of the wheel of
earthly condition, a thousand revolutions
in a second. Division of all nations, of
all ages, not by the figure 9, nor by the
figure 8, nor the figure 7, nor the figure
6, nor the figure 5, nor the figure 4; but
by the figure 2. Two 1 Two characters,
two destinies, two estates, two dominions,
two eternities, a tremendous, an all-com?
prehensive, all decisive, an everlasting
two!
I sometimes think that the figure of
the book that shall be opened allows us
to forget the thing signified by the sym?
bol. Where is the book-binder that
could make a volume large enough to
contain the names of all the people who
have ever lived ? Besides that the call?
ing of such a roll would take more than
fifty years, more than a hundred years,
and the judgment is to be consumm mated
in less time than passes between sunrise
and sunset. Ah! my friends, the leaves
of that book of judgment are not made
ont of paper, but of memory. One leaf
in every human heart. You have known
persons who were near drowning, but
they were afterward resuscitated, and
they- have-told you that in the two or
three minutes between the accident and
the resuscitation, all their past life flash
red before them?all they had ever
though^ aU'fhey had ever done, all they
had ever seen in an instant came to them.
The memory never loses anything. It :is
only a folded leaf. It is only a closed
book. Though you be an octogenarian,
though you be a nonogenariau, all the
thoughts and acts of your life are in your
;mind whether you recall them now or
not; just as Macau lay's history is in two
volumes, although the volumes may be
closed, and you cannot see a word of
them, and will not until they are opened.
As in the case of the drowning man, the
volume of memory was partly open, or
the leaf partly unrolled ; in the case of
the judgment the entire book will be
opened, so that everythiug will be dis?
played from preface to appendix.
You have seen self-registering instru?
ments which recorded how many revolu
! tions they made and what ;work they had
done, so that the manufacturer could
come days after and look at the instru?
ment and find just how much work had
been accomplished. So the human miud
is a self-registering instrument, and it
' records all past movements. Now that
; leaf, that allcomprensive leaf in your
vmind and mine this moment, the leaf of
judgment, brought out under the flash of
the judgment throne, you can easily see
how all-the pastof ourlives in aninstant
will be seen. And so great and so re
Bplendent-will be the light of dhat throne
that not only this leaf in iny heart and
that leaf in yonr heart will be revealed
at a flash, but all the leaves will be
opened, aud you will read not only your
own character and your own history, but
the character and history of others.
In' a military encampment'the bugle
sounded in one way means one thing,
-and, sounded in .another way it means
another thing. Bugle sounded in one
way means, "Prepare for sudden attack."
Bugle sounded in another way means,
"To. our t?nts, and let-all lights bo put
"but." T have tola" you, my brother, that
the trumpet of the Old Testament, the
trumpet that was carried in the ar?
mies of olden times, and the trumpet on
the walls in olden times, in the last great
day will give significant reverberatiou.
Old and worn-out and exhausted Time,
having marched across decades and cen?
turies and ages, will halt, and the sun
and moon and the stars will halt with it.
The trumpet, the trumpet I
Peal the first: Under its power the
sea will stretch itself out dead, the white
foam on the lip, in its crystal sarcophagus,
and the mountains will stagger and reel
and stumble and fall into the .valleys
?neijerf tjv rise. 'Under one puff of that
last cyclone all the candles of the sky
will be blown out. The trumpet, the
trumpet 1 f* :j ; } ?
, Peal the second: ? The alabaster halls
of the. air will be filled with those who
will throng up from all the cemeteries ol
all the ages?from Greyfriar's church?
yard, and the Roman catacomb; from
Westminister abb^ey, and from the coral
crypts of oceanic cave; and some will
rend off the bandage of the Egyptian
mummy, and others will remove from
their brow the garland of the green sea?
weed. From the North, and the South,
and the East, and the West, they come.
The dead! The trumpet, the trumpet!
Peal the third : Amid surging clouds
and roar of attendant armies of heaven
the Lord comes through and there are
lightnings and thunderbolts and an earth?
quake and a hallelujah and a wailing.
The trumpet, the trumpet!
Peal the fourth : All the records of
human life will be revealed. The leaf
containing the pardoned sin, the leaf
containing the unpardoned sin. Some
clapping bands with joy, some grinding
their teeth with rage, and all the forgot?
ten past becomes a vivid present. The
trumpet, the trumpet!
Peal the last: The audience break up.
The great trial is ended. The high court
of heaven adjourns. The audience hie
themselves to their two termini. They
rise, they rise! They sink, they sink!
Then the blue tent of the sky will be
lifted and folded up and put away.
Then the auditorium of atmospheric sal
leries will be melted. Then the folded
wings of attendant angels will be- spread
for upward flight... The fiery throne of
judgment will become a dim and a van?
ishing cloud. The conflagration of di?
vine and angelic magnificence will roll
back and off. The day for which all
other days are made has closed, and the
world has burned down, and the last
cinder has gone out, and an angel flying
on errand from world to world will poise
J long enough over the dead earth to chant
the funeral litany as he cries, "Ashes to
ashes I"
That judgment leaf in your heart I
seize hold of this moment for cancella?
tion. In your city halls, the great book
of mortgages has a large margin, so that
when the mortgagor has paid the full
amount he puts down on that margin the
payment and the cancellation, and though
that mortgage demanded vast thousands
before, now it is null and void. So I
have to tell you that that leaf in my
heart and in your heart, that leaf of
judgment has a wide margin for cancella?
tion. There is only one band in all the
universe that can touch that margin.
That hand this moment is lifted to make
the record null and void forever. It may
be a trembling hand, for it is a wounded
hand ; the nerves were cut and the mus?
cles, were lacerated. That record on that
leaf was made in the black ink of con?
demnation; but if cancellation takes
place, it will be made in the red ink of
sacrifice. 0, judgment-bound brother
and sister! let Christ this moment bring
to that record complete and glorious
cancellation. This moment in an out?
burst of impassioned prayer, ask for it.
You think it is the fluttering of your
heart. Ob, no! It is the .fluttering of
that leaf.
I ask you not to take from your iron
safe your last will and testament, but I
ask for something of more importance
than that. I ask you not to take from
your private papers that letter so sacred
that you have put it away from all human
eyesight, but I ask you for something of
more meaning than that.
That leaf, that judgment leaf in my
heart,. that judgment leaf in your heart,
which will decide our condition, after
this world shall have five thousand mill?
ion years been swept out the heavens, an
extinct planet, and time itself will be so
long past that on the ocean of eternity it
will seem only as now seems a ripple on
the Atlantic.
When the goats in vile herd start for
the barren mountains of death, and the
sheep in fleece of snowy whiteness, and
bleating with joy, move up the terraced
bills to join the lambs already playing in
the high pastures of celestial altitude, oh,
may you and I be close by the Shepherd's
crook! "When the Son of man shall
come in His glory, and all the holy
angels with Him, then shall He sit upon
the throne of His glory, and before Him
shall be gathered all nations, and He
shall separate them one from another, as
a shepherd divideth the sheep from the
goats.'' Oh,, that leaf, that one leaf in
my; .hieart, ?th?t-bne leafvin your- heart.
That-leaf *6f judgment.' Oh, those -two
tremendous words at the last! "Come!"
"Go!" As though the overhanging
heavens were in the cup of a great bell,
and the stars were welded into a silvery
tongue and swung from side to side until
it struck, "Come!" As though all the
great guns of eternal disaster were dis?
charged at once, and they boomed forth
in one resounding cannonade of "Go I"
Arithmetical sum in simple division.
Eternity the dividend. The figure two
the divisor. Your unalterable destiny
the quotient.
A Determined ro.slma.stcr.
'Squire Zangford Is displeased with the
present administration. The 'squire,
who was postmaster at May Bloam, was
recently removed, or rather, was informed
that hereafter bis public duties will be
discharged by some other citizen. Upon
receiving information of his dismissal,
the 'squire addressed the following letter
to the President:
"I reckou you think that you've done
a mighty smart trick, er sendin' down
here an' tryin' to have me put outcn my
own house. This here postoffice belongs
to me, I want you to understand. I built
the shanty and dug the. well. Thar never
wuz no mail in this here curmunity till
I started this here office. My oldest son
fetches the stuff over frum the railroad,
twenty miles frum here, so you see we:ve
got everything in our own hands. I
think you have jumped up the wrong
rabbit. You can set up thar in a rockin'
cheer an' chaw your terbacker an' spit
over the banisters, but you can't git none
uv the best uv me. Tamper along with
me an' you'll think you've trod on a
wildcat's tail. Oh! I'm here, an' my
name ain't Dennis, nuther. My father
could split five hundred rails in a day an'
my sister married the man that shoved
the steer offen a ferry boat. Garland
knows me, an' I uster know him, when
he wore nankeen britches an' a hickory
shirt. Ef you had spoken to him about
the matter be would have told you not
to progic with mo. I don't kere nothin'
for the money that's in the office. A
dollar an' a half a year ain't no more to
me than seventy-five cents is to you, but
I don't want to be fooled with. No, it
ain't for money that I kere for, but I do
kere for the standin' that the office gives
me in society. I am a great hand in
society. Presidents is ungrateful. It
hain't been mor'n two weeks sense I
named one of my boys arter you. He is
nineteen years old an' up to two weeks
ago we called him Buck, but thinkin'
that you would do the squar' thing wo
changed Iiis name. Now, sense you have
turned out to be agin us we are goin' to
call him Buck agin. Shortly arter you
tuck your seat a man wanted' to bet me
you wouldn't be in office mor'n a year till
you would make some big mistakes. I
bet him a cow. Arter I got your notice
tellin' me to git out, I driv the cow over
to the feller's house an' told him that he
had won her. You not only cut a man's
pride but you break him up in bizness.
I believe you take pleasure in makin' a
feller feel bad. I wish you would con?
sider all this, an' let me know as soon as
possible. Write the letter as soon as you
git this an' giv it to the mail rider early
the next mornin'."?Arhammo Traveller.
? "About ten yearsago,"says the editor
of the Boston Transcript, "I found that
my gums commenced to recede, which I
arrested by the use of common table salt,
applied to the gums by the ball of the

A TOWN BLOWN AWAY.
WasUngton, Ohio, Destroyed by a Cyclone.
Cleveland, 0., September 9.?A
Leader special from Springfield says tha t
a terrible cyclone struck Washington
Courthouse, a place of 4,000 inhabitants,
25 miles west of there, a* 8 o'clock last
evening and almost literally swept it
from the earth. The ctorm camo from
the Northwest and broke up the town
very suddenly, carrying everything be?
fore it. The tornado whirled up Court
street, the main business thoroughfare,
and ruined almost every business block
on it?at least forty or fifty in all. Hard?
ly a private residence in town escaped,
fully'400 buildings going down. The
Baptist, Presbyterian and Catholic
Churches all suffered a common fate.
The Ohio Southern, Pan Handle, Narrow
Guage and Midland Bailroad depots
were blown into "smithereens," and
every building in tho vicinity was car?
ried away, making ingress or egress al?
most impossible. Every wire within a
circuit of two miles is down.
Tho reports received of the catastrophe
are from a telegraph operator who tapped
the wires two miles west of town and,
sitting in a heavy rain storm, works his
instruments. The panic-stricken people
were taken completely unawares and fled
from the tumbling buildings in every di?
rection through the murky darkness. A
frenzy seemed to seize them and they
hurriod hitherand thither in their wild
distraction, little knowing whither they
were going. After the wild wind, which
lasted about ten minutes, a heavy rain?
fall set in which continued unabated du?
ring the night.
As soon as a few of the cooler heads
recovered their senses, .searching parties
were organized, and the sad work of
looking for the dead begau. So far fif?
teen bodies have been recovered from the
debrin of various ruined buildings and
their work is just beginning to get under
way. Probably as many more will be
found. The glimmer of lanterns pro?
cured from farm-houses in the vicinity
and from the few bouses left standing
was the only light they had to work by.
Two or three bodies were stumbled upon
in the middle of the streets where they
were struck down by flying bricks or
timber. ? The cellars of houses and every
sort o:f refuge were filled with shivering
people, huddling together in a vain at?
tempt to keep warm. One babe in arms

will carry plenty of assistance.
Cincinnati, September 9.?Washing?
ton Courthouse, the scene of one of the
most disastrous visitations by the ele?
ments last night, is the County Seat of
Fayette County. It has had a most ex?
traordinary business growth within the
past ? fteen years, and being the .centre
of a rich agricultural district with ex?
cellent railroad facilities, it had grown
to be a business place of considerable
impoitance. Its residents had beautified
the t)wn with tasteful dwellings, and
its recently completed Courthouse was
one of the best in the State. To day
this prosperous town is a mass of ruins.
Last night's experience of its inhabitants
has no parallel in the experience of any
town in Ohio. A heavy rainfall began
about 8 o'clock last night, and that and
the darkness drove everybody in shelter,
so tbs.t while there are some who say
they saw funnel-shaped clouds, it does
not seem possible that there could have
been much observation of the heavens.
Shortly after the rain began the wind
came with a terrifying sound. Its work
was almost instantaneous. People say it
was over in two minutes, but nobody
could take note of time in such a fearful
experience, the fierce roaring of the ter?
rible tornado, the crashing of broken and
falling buildings, sharp flashes of light?
ning, rolling thunder and pitiless rain.
When the fierceness of the storm had
passed, and men could communicate with
each ether it was found that all were in
darknsss. The gasworks were destroyed,
and all the street lights were out. Only
by tho lightning flashes were the fright?
ened people able to catch glimpses of
the desolation that ha'1 wrecked that lit?
tle city. The number of deaths was
miraculously small. The next duty was
to search for the imprisoned and injured.
In this there was prompt and whole?
hearted effort. Bonfires were lighted
and torches improvised. The debris was
overturned to see if any more dead could
be foand. With cheerful welcome the
doors of such houses as were not de?
stroyed were opened for the houseless
ones. In many cases these were utterly
bereft of all their household goods. The
night was a fearful one, but it was full
of helpful work for the stronger. The
sheriff called upon the militia to set a
guard over the exposed stocks of all bus?
iness, for they were all broken or de?
stroyed, and prowling thieves were not
wanting even in the first hour of the
city's misfortune. Of course their num
hers grew to day, when Growds of visitors
poured in.
Wil.h daylight came a most disheart?
ening spectacle. The streets were well
nigh impassable from the trees and parts
of houses cast into them. The worst of
all waa the sight of the poor who had
lost all and who had no place of shelter.
They wandered hopelessly about as if
they were strangers.
Of course people whose houses were
not ruined began at once to care for their
unfortunate fellow sufferers. Farmers
soon began to pour into town, drawn by
curiosity, but at the same time bringing
with them.substantial aid for the desti?
tute. Before the day ended cou icil had
taken formal action by organizing a re?
lief committee, and by night much can
be done toward preventing actual priva?
tion. The great wonder is that more
lives were not lost. In the Odd Fellows
hall forty members were gathered at a
meeting in the second story when the
storm came. The building was literally
thrown down, yet not one was injured.
Thirty-one weut down with the ruins
and escaped, while nine clung to the
walls of an adjoining block and were res?
cued by ladders.

The Commercial Gazette's special says:
"People were not frightened until they
heard the rattle of the signs threshing in
the storm. It kept getting worse until
the largest and most substantial brick
and stone structures heaved to and fro at
the mercy of the steadily increasing gale.
Bricks and beams, roofs, fences and al?
most overy conceivable thing that could

A NEW SOUTH, A NEW NOTtTH.
Judge Homily Opens His Guns on Sher?
man,
Hamilton, Ohio, September 5.?-In
opening the campaign here this evening
Governor Hoadly referred to the recent
speeches of Senator Sherman and Judge
Foraker in the following language:
"The leader of the Kepublicans of
Ohio has carefully prepared an appeal
to'his party and sent it from the stump
through the press to the country. He
waves the bloody shirt. He endorses
the policy of alienation and hate. He
seeks to transplant and cultivate in this
country the feelings of the English aris?
tocracy towards the Irish, to arouse sec?
tion against section, to govern the South
from the North as Dublin Castle governs
Ireland, as a conquered province?and
all this in the year of grace 1885, twenty
years and more after the end of the war.
The average life of an ordinary genera?
tion is thirty years. Owing to the casu?
alties of war, which cost our country at
least a million lives, the duration of the
generation now passiog away has been
Jess than this. Twenty-five years have
elapsed since Lincoln's election. Five
sevenths, perhaps more, of the men who
devised the rebellion, the men who fought
its battles and the men who overcame it.
have passed away. The great civil ana
great military leaders, Lincoln and
Grant, both sleep in graves bathed in the
tears of the whole nation, South and
North, and both died with words upon
their lips and feelings in their hearts of
charity to all, malice towards none.
Seward and Sumuer, Chase and Fessen
den, Douglas and Stephens, Lee and
Breckenridge?these are historic, not
living names. Alone of the authors of
the rebellion Jefferson Davis survives.
Boys born when the war broke out have
been voting for three years past. Boys
born after the war will vote next year.
Boys too young to bear arms are now
mature men of 35. There is a new
South and a new North. A new gener?
ation full of new life is at work. A very
large proportion of the people of the
South have never seen a slave and have
lived under _io other regime but.that of
universal suffrage. Is it not time for the
Shermans and Forakers to accept the re?
sults of the war and no longer to contin?
ue in battle? Eight millions of bales or
cotton, the probable crop this year, are
in sight. There are no idlers in the
South. Why croak in the North?
White men and black men are aide by
3ide at work. The South is developing
new industries, weaving cotton cloth,
digging coal and iron, forging steel.
God and nature, religion and the human
heart are the forces against which Sher?
man and Foraker contend and Foster
plots."
To the policy of alienation, the speak?
er said, the Democratic party opposed
union; for hate it substituted love.
"Let us banish these unmanly fears of
Southern wrong doing," he continued,
"and cease to exaggerate occasional per?
sonal conflicts into wars of races. Dan?
ville and Copiah are worn out. Turn
out some new grist, oh, grinders of the
outrage mill! Home rule and as little
application of the eternal principle of
regulation as is consistent with the
greatest liberty to all the ills of the State
and Nation. * * * Sherman is dis?
tressed because Lamar and Garland and
Bayard, two of them members of the
Confederate Congress and one a man
who sympathized with them, are at the
head of the. great departments ot the
Government. Oh, yes, it was well to
put Key at the head of the postoffice
department. With one Confederate the
Cabinet was all right; but two?two are
a lamentable concession to treason! No,
not quite this even. Akerman was a
proper attorney-general, Key a most
becoming postmaster-general; but two
at a time?Garland and Lamar together!
Aye, there's the rub! The tears of croc?
odiles are freely shed as Sherman softly
Kings ''Insatiate archer would not one
suffice?' Mosby, Madison, Wells, Ma
hone and Chalmers?the guerillas, the
returning board, the repudiator and the
Fort Pillow butcher?all these have had
their garments washed, but Lawton and
Jackson, Jonas and Lamar and Garland,
the best and purest men of the South?
these to our Senators are unregenerate
children of a political satan, uufit to serve
the Republic."
The speaker said he asked for re-elec?
tion as an approval of the present Ad?
ministration.
"Now I ask for more," he continued.
"I solicit approval, not forbearance. Mr.
Cleveland has held office six months.
Congress has not been in session, yet
much has been accomplished. The spir?
it of reform and economy has entered all
departments. Useless offices and expen?
ses have been done away with, while the
performance of duty, civil and military,
has been enforced. The Government is
not solicitous to provide soft places for
pets, but to save money for the people
and to keep the faith pledged in the plat?
form. * * * * It is sweet, it is de?
licious, brethren, to hear Republican
lamentation as expressed by John Sher?
man, who worked the treasury depart?
ment for all it was worth in 1880 to nom?
inate himself for President, and who
never recommended a Democrat for civil
office in his life. That impartial, non
partisan civil service of our country is in
danger."
The remainder of the Governor's speech
was devoted.to State affairs.
A Plucky Woman.
Our County jail has long been known
as one of the most insecure prisons in
the State, and every night when leaving
there the Sheriff has to lock the prison
era up in the ceils in order to keep them
safe.
There were seventeen prisoners in the
jail on last Friday night, and owing to
this great number the Sheriff had to put
nine of them in the large cell. During
the night one fellow managed to get on .
of the cell, and by some means he pro?
cured a piece of iron with which he broke
the lock and turned out the other eight.
They immediately began prizing off the
bars from one of the windows, and in a
few minutes more all of them would
have been free. But Mrs. Gaskins, a
daughter of the jailer, heard the noise,
when bIic picked up a bar of iron, unlock?
ed the outer door and rushed into the
corridor where the prisoners were work?
ing at the window. She drove the last
one of them back into their cell in short
order and kept guard at the door until
the Sheriff (who* had been sent for)
arrived and took charge of the jail.
Several of the prisoners are hard custom?
er?, and a term in the penitentiary awaits
them.
The jailer is a cripple, and has long
been confined to his bed, being unable to
get up at all, so that his duties have been
attended to by the daughter during that
time, and she has proven herself worthy
of the trust reposed in ber. The ring?
leaders have been manacled, and no fur?
ther trouble is feared now, but we can
still hurrah for the plucky little woman.

BETTER THAN GOLD MINES.
South Carolina's Phosphate Industry.
One of the great industries of the
South, but one which is yet confined to
a single State, is phosphate mining.
South Carolina has been wonderfully
enriched by this extensive iudustry,
which in connection with the manipula?
tion of phosphates, it is estimated by the
State agricultural department, has
brought ?50,000,000 into that State since
1868. There are at present in operation
in the State 14 companies engaged in
mining phosphate on land, 11 river min?
ing companies, and 11 fertilizer manu?
facturing companies. There have been
mined and shipped from 1S6S to 1884 2,
099,000 tons of phosphate rock, equiva?
lent to about $16,000,000; there have
been manufactured from 1871 to 1884 2,
000,000 tons of fertilizers, equivalent to
about $34,000,000, giving a total of ?50,
000,000, which has been brought into the
State by the phosphate industry in the
last 17 years. Of this amount the State
ha3 received as revenue ?1,200,000, which
was paid as royalty, besides the heavy
taxes levied on the products of the land
companies and fertilizer manufacturers.
The production of phosphates for 1884
wa3 409,000 tons of rock and 236,884
tons of fertilizers.
In 1880, according to the United States
census, there were 28 fertilizer compa?
nies in South Carolina having an aggre?
gate capital of ?3,993,300. In tho
amount of capital invested in this indus?
try South Carolina stood second in the
list of States, Maryland ranking first,
with a capital in fertilizer manufacture
of $4,271,870, or not quite ?300,000 more
than South Carolina. The third State on
the list was New York, which bad over
$1,000,000 less employed in the manu?
facture of fertilizers than South Carolina.
In the number of bands employed South
Carolina ranked first, having more than
twice as many engaged in the fertilizer
industry as Maryland, and nearly three
times as many as New York.
Since 1880 there has been a rapid de?
velopment of this important industry in
South Carolina, as may be readily seen
from the fact that in that year only 190,
000 tons of phosphate reck were mined,
while in 1884 the amount was 409,000
tons, or largely more than double. The
increase since 1880 has been steady, the
amount mined in 1881 being '265,000
tons; in 1882, 330,000 tons; in 1883,
355,000 tons, and in 1884, 409,000 tons.
The total amout of phosphate rock
mined in South Carolina since the discov?
ery of these deposits has been as follows:

As already stated, the aggregate capi?

izers in South Carolina in 1880 was ?3,

500,000 is actually invested in this indus?
try. This, of course, does not inclnde

companies, but only the actual invest?

"One of the causes of bankruptcy^**!
