Dr. T aim age Discourses on the Hindoo Custom. Bofntatlon of Slanders Upon the Mission? aries to India, and a Contrast Be? tween Christianity and Idol atory Drawn. The following- discourse by Rev. T. De Witt Talmage, being the third of his round-the-world press series, is on the Bubject of "Burning the Dead," and is based on the test: _They have hands but theyhandlte not, feet have they' but they walk not. neither speak they through their throat. They that make them are like unto them.?Psalm, cxv., 7-8. The life of a missionary is a luxu? rious and indolent life. Hindooism is a religion that ought not to be inter? fered with. Christianity is guilty of an impertinence when it invades heathendom; you must put in the same line of reverence Brahma, Buddha, Mohammed and Christ. To refuto these slanders and blasphemies now so prevalent, and to spread out before Jthe Christian world the contrast be? tween idolatrous and Christian coun? tries, I preach this sermon in my "round-the-world" series. In this discourse I take you to the very headquarters of heathendom, to the very capital of Hindooism; for what Mecca is to the Mohammedan, and what Jerusalem is to- the Christian, Benares, India, is to the Hindoo. We arrived there in the evening, and the next morning we started out early, among other things to see the burning of the dead. We saw it, cremation, not as many good people in America and England are now advocating it, namely the burning of the dead in clean, and orderly, and refined crematory, the hot furnace soon reducing the human form to powder to be carefully preserved in an urn; but cremation as the Hin? doos practice it. We got into a boat and were rowed down the River Ganges until we came opposite to where five dead bodies lay, four of them women wrapped in red garments,. and a man wrapped in white. Our boat fastened, we waited and watched. High piles of wood were on the bank, and this wood is carefully weighed on large scales, according as the friends of the de? ceased can afford to pay for it. In many cases only a few sticks can be afforded, and the dead body is burned only a little, and then thrown into the Ganges. But where the relatives of the deceased are well to-do, an abundance of wood in pieces four to five feet long is purchased. Two or three layers of sticks are then put on the ground to receive the dead form. Small pieces of sandal-wood are inserted to produce fragrance. The deceased is lifted from the resting place and put upon this wood. Then the cover is removed from the face of the corpse and it is bathed with water of the Ganges. Then several more layers of wood, are put upon the body, j and other sticks axe placed on both sides of it, but the head and feet are left exposed. Then a quantity of grease sufficient to make everything inflammable is put on the wood, and into the mouth of the dead. Then one of the richest men in Benares, his fort? une made in this way, furnishes the fire, and, after the priest has mumbled a few words, the eldest son walks thr^e times around the sacred pile, and then applies the torch, and the fire blazes up, and in a short time the body has become the ashes which the rela? tives throw into t he Ganges. We saw floating past us on the) Ganges the body of a child which had been only partly burned, because the parents could not afford enough wood. While we watched the floating form of the child a crow alighted upon it. In the meantime hundreds of Hindoos were bathing in the river, dipping their heads, filling their mouths, sup? plying their brass cups, muttering words of so-called prayer. Such a mingling of superstition and loath? someness, and inhumanity I had never before seen. The Ganges is to the Hindoo the best river of all the earth, but to me it is the vilest stream that ever rolled its stench in horror to the sea. I looked along the banks for the mourners for the dead. I saw in two of the cities nine cremations, but in no case a-sad look or a tear. I said to friends: "How is this? Have the living no grief for the dead?" I found that the women did not come forth on such occasions, but that does not account for the absence of all signs of grief. There is another reason more potent. Men do not Bee the faces of their wives until after nw riage. They take thejn on recom? mendation. Marriages Thus forr ted, of course, have not much affection in them; Women are married at seven and ten years oi age, and are grand? mothers at thirty. Such unwisely formed family associations do not .im? ply much ardor of love. The family so poorly put together?who wonders that it is easily taken apart? And so I account for the absence of all signs of grief at the cremation of the Hin? doos. Benares is imposing in the distance as you look at it from the other side of the Ganges. The forty-seven ghats, or flights of atone steps reaching from the water's edge to the building high up on the banks, mark a place for ascent and descent of the sublimities. The eye is lost in the bewilderment of tombs, shrines, minarets, palaces and temples. It is the glorification of steps, the tri? umph of stairways. But looked at close by, the temples, though large and expensive, are anything but at? tractive. The seeming gold in many cases turns out to be brass. The pre? cious stones in the wall turn out to be paint. The marble is stucco. The slippery and disgusting steps lead yon to images of horrible visage, and the flowers put upon the altar have their fragrance submerged by that which is the opposite of aromatics. The god of the Golden temple is Siva, or the poison god. Devils wait upon him. He is the god of war, of famine, of pestilence. He is tho destroyer. He has around his neck a string of skulls. Before him bow men whose hair never knew a comb. They eat carrion and that which is worse. Bells and drums here set up a racket. Pil? grims come from hundreds of miles away, spending their last piece of money and exhausting their last item of strength in order to reach this Golden temple, glad to die in or near it, and have the ashes of their bodies thrown into the Ganges. We took a carriage and went still further on to see the Monkey temple, so-called because in and around the building" monkeys abound and are kept as sacred. All evolutionists should vis? it this temple devoted to the family from which their ancestors came. These monkeys chatter, and wink, and climb, and look wise, and look silly, and have full possession of the place. We were asked at the entrance of the Monkey temple to take off our shoes because of the sacredness of the place, but a small contribution placed in the hands of an attendant resulted in a permission to enter with our shoes on.

Hall's Catarrh Cure for sale by Wilhite & Wilhite. 8iva, the poison god, this Monkey tem? ple is dedicated to Siva's wife, adietess, that must he propitiated, or she will disease, and blast, and destroy. For centuries this spitfire has been wor? shipped. She is the goddess of scold, and slap, and termagancy. She is sup? posed to be a supernatural Xantippe; hence to her are brought flowers and rice, and here and there the flowers are spattered with the blood of goats slam in sacrifice. As we walk to-day through this Monkey temple we must not hit, or tease, or hurt one of them. Two En? glishmen years ago lost their lives by the maltreatment of a monkc}'. Pass? ing along one of these Indian streets a monkey did not soon enough get out of the way, and one of these Englishmen struck it with his cane. Immediately the people and the priests gath? ered around these strangers, and the public wrath increased until the two Englishmen were pounded to death for having struck a monkey. No land in all the world so reveres the monkey as India, as no other land has a temple called after it. One of the rajahs of India spent one hundred thousand rupees in the mar? riage of two monkeys. A nuptial pro? cession was formed in which moved camels, elephants, tigers, cattle and palanquins of richly dressed people. Bands of music sounded the wedding march. Dancing parties kept the night sleepless. It was twelve days before the monkey and monkeyess were free from their rouud of gay attentions. In no place but India could such a carnival have occurred. But, after all, while we can not ap? prove of the Monkey temple, the monkey is sacred to hilarity. I defy anyone to watch a monkej' one minute without laughter. Why was this creature made? For the world's amuse? ment. The mission of some animals is left doubtful and we can not see the use of this or that quadruped, or this or that insect, but the mission of the ape is certain; all around the world it entertains. Whether seated at the top of this temple in India, or cutting up its antics on the top of a hand organ, it stirs the sense of the ludi? crous; tickles the diaphragm into cach innation; topples gravity into play, and accomplishes that for which it was created. The eagle, and the lion, and the gazelle, and the robin no more cer? tainly have their mission than has the monkey. But it implies a low form of Hindooism when this embodied mimic? ry of the human race is lifted into wor? ship. In one of the cities for the first time in my life I had an opportunity of talking with a fakir, or a Hindoo who has renounced the world and lives on alms. He sat under a rough covering on a plat? form of brick. He was covered with the ashes of the dead, and was at the time rubbing more of thpse ashes upon his arms and legs. He understood and spoke English. I said tcf* him: "How long v xve you been seated here?" He replied: "Fifteen years." "Have those idols which I see power to help or destroy?" He said: "No; they only represent God. There is but j one god." Question?When people die where do they go to? An- ~er?That depends upon what they ? ./e been doing. If they have been doing good, to heaven; if they have been doing evil, to hell. Question?But do you not believe in the transmigration of souls, and that after death we go into birds or animals of some sort? Answer?Yes; the last creature a man is thinking of while dying is the one into which he will go. If he is thinking of a bird he will go into a ?bird; and if he is thinking of a cow he will go into a cow. Question?I thought you said that at death the soul goes to Heaven or hell? Answer?He goes there by a gradual procees. It may take him years and years. Question?Can anyone become a Hin? doo? Could I become a Hindoo? Answer?Yes, you could. Question?How could I become a Hin? doo? Answer?By doing as the Hindoos do. . But as I looked upon the poor, filthy wretch, bedaubing himself with the ashes of the dead, I thought the last thing on earth I would want to be? come would be a Hindoo. I expressed to a missionary who overheard the conversation between the fakir and myself my amazement at some of the doctrines the fakir announced. The missionary'Said: "The fakirs are very accommodating, and supposing you to be a friend of Christianity he an? nounced the theory of our God, and that of rewards and punishments." There are, however, alleviations for Benares. I attended worship in one of the Christian missions. The ser? mon, though delivered in Hindoo stance, of which I could not un? derstand a word, thrilled me with its earnestness and tenderness of tone, especially when the mission? ary told me et the close of the service that he recently baptized a man who was converted through reading one of. my sermons among the hills of In? dia. The songs of the two Christian; assemblages I visited in this city, al? though the tunes were new, and thej sentiments not translated, were uplift? ing and inspiring to the last degree., There was also a school of six hundred' native girls, an institution established by a rajah of generosity and wealth, a graduate of Madras university. But more than all, the missionaries aro busy, some of them preaching on the ghats, some of them in churches, in chapels and ba? zars. The London Missionary society has here its college for young men, and its schools for children, and its houses of worship for all. The Church Missionary society has its eight schools, all filled with learners. The evan? gelizing work of the Wesleyans and the Baptists is felt in all parts of Ben? ares. In its mightiest stronghold Hin? dooism is being assailed. And now as to the industrious ma lignment of missionaries: It has been said by some travelers after their re? turn to America or England that the missionaries are living a life full of in? dolence and luxury. That is a false? hood that I would say i3 as high as Heaven - if it Tdid not go down in the opposite direction. When strangers come into these tropical climates, the missionaries do their best to entertain them, making sacri? fices for that purpose. In the city of Benares a missionary told me that a gentleman coming from England into one of the mission stations of India, the missionaries banded together to enter? tain him. Among other things, they had a ham boiled, prepared and beauti? fully decorated, and the same ham was passed around from house to house as this stranger appeared, and in other respects a conspiracy or kindness was effected. The visitor went home to England and wrote and spoke of the luxury in which the missionaries of India were living. Americans and En? glishmen come to these tropical regions and find a missionary living under palms and with different styles of fruit on his table, and forget that palms are here as cheap as hickory or pine in America, and fresh fruit are cheap as plain apples. They find here missionaries sleeping under pun? kas, these fans swung day and night by coolies, and forget that four cents a day is good wages here, and the man finds himself. Four cents a day for a coachman; a missionary can afford to ride. There have been mis? sionaries who have corae to the hot climates resolving to live as natives live, and one or two years have finished their work, their chief use of missionary ground being that of furnishing for a large funeral the chief object of inter? est. So far from living in idleness, no men on earth work so hard as the mis ' sionaries jaow in _tho foreign field. Against fearful odds, and with threo millions of Christians opposed to two hundred and fifty millions of Hindoos, Mohammedans and other false reli? gions, these missionaries are trying to take India for God. Let the good people of America, and England, and Scotland, and of all Christendom, add ninety-nine and three-quarters per cent, to their appreciation of the fidelity and consecration of foreign missionaries. Far away from home, in an exhausting- climate, and compelled to send their children to England Scotland, America, so as to escape the corrupt conversation and behavior of the natives, these men and wom? en of God toil on until they drop into their graves. But they will get their chief appreciation when their work is over and the day is won, as it will be won. No place in Heaven will be too good for them. Some of the ministers at home who live on salaries of four thousand or five thousand dollars a year, preaching the Gospel of Him who had not where to lay his head, will enter Heaven and be welcomed, and while looking for a place to sit down, they will be told: "Yonder in that lower line of thrones you will take you places. Not on the thrones nearest the King; tlicy arc re? served for the missionaries!"' Meanwhile let all Christendom be thrilled with gladness. About twenty five thousand converts in India every year under the Methodist missions, and about twenty-five thousand under the Baptist missions, and about sev? enty-five thousand converts under all missions every year. But more than that, Christianity is undermining heathenism, and not a city, or town, or neighborhood in India but directly or indirectly feels the influence, and the day speeds on when Hindooism will go down with a crash. There are vT.iole villages which have given up their gods and where not an idol is left. The serf? dom of womanhood 'in many places is being unloosened, and the iron grip of caste is being relaxed. Human sacrifices have ceased, and the last spark of the funeral pyre on which the widow must leap has been extin? guished, and the juggernaut, stopped, now stand as a curiosity for trav? elers to look at. All India will be tak? en for Christ. If anyone has any dis heartenments let him keep them as his . own private property; he is welcome to j all of them What we want in the church and the world is less croaking owls of the night, and more morning larks with spread wing read}' to meet the advancing day. Fold up Naomi and Windham, and give us Ariel or Mount Pisgah, or Coronation. I had the joy of preaching in many of the cities of India, and seeing the dusky faces of the natives illumi? nated with the heavenly anticipations. In Calcutta while the congregation were yet seated 1 took my departure for a railroad train. I preached by the watch up to the last minute. A swift carriage brought me to the station not more than half a minute before start? ing. I came nearer to missing the train than I hope anyone of us will come to missing Heaven. A GREAT JUMP. The Tremendous Leap Made by a Hnnzrj I Wildcat After His Breakfast. The wonderful rower of a wildcat is shown in its ability to leap long dis? tances. All of the cat tribe have im? mense power in their leg's and they make up in the length of their springs their inability to make a continued chase. African leopards in captivity have been known to leap from the floor of the cages and strike the top, twelve feet above. Tigers make tremendous leaps and strike down their prey with 'a blow of their powerful paws as they alight. But the wildcat, for its size, is probably the most wonderful jumper of all the felines. A hunter who is well known for his veracity recently told a Boston Journal man the following story of an adventure which illustrates this power: "I was hunting in the snow and came across the track of a wildcat, which I followed a long distance. Suddenly the tracks came to an end in a spot where the animal had crouched. I looked around to see what had become of the trail, and away ahead of me saw a bunch of blood and feathers. From that spot the track led on again off in? to a swamp. The situation was sus? ceptible to but one explanation. The wildcat had been hunting for his din? ner and had discovered a pheasant wan? dering about in the snow. Tho cat crept as close as he dared to the un? suspecting bird and gathered himself into an animated spiral spring, such as all the cat tribe coil themselves into when preparing to spring, and, releas? ing the trigger, shot into the air, land? ing on top of the victim before the bird, as quick as pheasants usually are, could evade the stroke. The distance from where the cat crouched to where, it caught the bird was just thirty-three feet. I naturally supposed from the length of the leap that the cat was young and in full activity, but after I had trailed it to the swamp and shot it I discovered that it was old and almost toothless. The animal's hunger may have spurred him to the great jump. If not, and the leap was an evidence of what a superannuated wildcat can do, I wouldn't be surprised to learn that a young and active wildcat could clear at least twice the distance when pressed by necessity." . [ OBJECTED TO THE REFEREE. A BlackmaUlngr Woman Gets a Neat Lit- I tie Sot.Hack. A good story is told of a prominent federal official who was in office during the first Cleveland administration, sa3-s Kate Field's Washington, and his re? ception of a woman who endeavored to levy blackmail upon him. This woman came into his office one day, and after tearfully reciting her tale of woe and wrong to him and an nmused on-looker ?who had tried ineffectually to leavo the room and let the couple attend to their own affairs?she demanded im? mediately a check for one hundred dol? lars. ''But I cannot give you that amount. I haven't got it," suid the oflicial. "Well, then, I'll tell all about our dealings, and you won't show up very well," said the woman, threateningly. "Oh! I don't believe you can make an3*body believe such a tale as you would tell against inc," came the im perturbed repty. "?h! 1 can't, can't I?" sneered the woman. "Well, I just need that one hundred dollars, and you've got to give it to me or I'll let out the whole busi? ness. Now, arc yoi; ready to pony up?" The official pondered a moment. "The case would look pretty black against me, wouldn't it?" he said, re? flectively. "Yes, I'll see to that," was the wom? an's still more threatening answer. "Well," said the official, after a few moments' thought, and with a sus? picious twinkle in his eye, "I guess I see a way out of the difficulty. You see my wife holds the purse-strings of the family. Now, you just go to her and tell her the vhole story, and cry about it, and she might give j'ou tho amount you want, flood day," and he bowed the obnoxious caller out of the office, while she was too dumfounded to protest. She never bothered him again, ap? parently admiring his nerve. ,-.?i ? The rabbit's long oar.-; don't help him to think'. ? Washington was six feet two inches in height. ?

In that portion of Scripture appoint? ed to be read in Episcopal churches as the first lesson upon Thanksgiving Day occurs the expression, "That giveth thee power to get wealth." It is from the charge that Moses gives to the Isralitcs when they were about to enter the Promised Land, and after rehearsing all that the Lord had done for them up to that time he warns them against saying, "My power and the might of mine hand hath gotten me this wealth," and adds, "But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God, for it is He that giveth thee power to get wealth." It is a good thing to be reminded of this, and especially when we come to? gether for the professed purpose of rendering thanks to God for the many blessings of the past year. Of course, in a general sense, we always attribute our prosperity to God, but at the same time we think that it was our brains, or our skill, or our industry, and some? times even just "our natural good luck" that was the immediate cause of our success, and we seldom go be? hind these mental aud moral qualities to consider how we came to be possess? ed of them. A large proportion of the millionaires of America arc popularly styled "self-made men." Thev have made their immense fortunes by un? usual attention to business, by their wonderful foresight, by their judgment in knowing when to make investments and their courage in taking great risks, and sometimes also by not being too scrupulous about taking advantage of others, and in this sense they are "self-made;'/ but there must have been some very radical differences between their mental endowment and that of their brothers and schoolmates, that they should have had the power to gain great wealth while the others merely struggled through life or starv? ed, and it was not themselves they had to thank for that difference; it was the gift of God. The accumulation of wealth has been one of the strongest ambitions of the human race from the earliest period of the world's history. The love of power and the love of glory may have actuated a few men till they became great conquerors, but it was simply a thirst for the spoils of war that in? spired their soldiers, and the severest discipline of modern times has hardly been able to restrain victorious armies from plundering their fallen foes. The same love of gold which tempted horde after horde of barbarians from the north of Europe to the wealthy countries bordering the Mediterranean, actuated the Spaniards in their voyages to the Western world, except perhaps Columbus himself, who, doubtless, was more anxious to prove his theories true than to gain wealth. If we admit that the desire for re? ligious freedom was the main object of the Puritan and the Huguenot in seeking an asylum in America, we must also admit that they soon con? trived to combine business with pleas? ure, and began laying the foundations of the great fortunes that their descen? dants enjoyed. In '40 this thirst for gold became so great that it has ever since been known as "the gold fever/' and such a tide of "argonauts" set In Poor ealth 'means so much more than 'you imagine?serious and * fatal diseases result fromi trifling ailments neglected. \ Don't play with Nature's greatest gift?health.

HILL BROS., Druggists, ANDERSON, S. C. towards the Pacific coast as well-nigh threatened to depopulate some of the Kastern States. But how was it that where one succeeded so many failed? That for each one that reached Cali? fornia and made his fortune in the mines, so many of his companions filled shallow graves on the lonely prairies, or returned homo poor and broken in health after years of hard? ships and unrequited toil? Was it not simply that such a one possessed that mysterious power to get wealth which th? others lacked? We all know men who have striven with all their strength and industry to get on in the world, but who have failed to accumulate anything, and others who with far less attention to business have grown rich under almost similar conditions. It is an illustration of the old proverb that "the race is not to the swift nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, ncr yet riches to men of undcrstand mg In man's anxiety to get gold he has long dreamed of the possibility of making it, and many an alchemist has spent his whole life in the vain effort to discover a secret process whereby it can be produced, but as a chemist said lately: "Every step we take instead of making clearer the way to? wards the manufacture of gold shows us more and more the great difficulties in the way of such a consummation. No power at our command can allow us to take even the first step towards the decomposition of the elements. The spectroscope gives us a faint idea of the probable complexity of the structure of the simplest of them. The whole matter is in a world that .we have only the haziest notions re? garding, and we have but begun to appreciate the fact that all that chem? istry has accomplished is as a drop to the ocean in the process of realizing such a dream." Itisvcry clear then that in whatever way men have re? ceived from their Maker the power to get wealth, it has not been in the direction of making them creators of anything. No matter how man may be able to use the elementary forces of nature and compel them to do his bid? ding, he is as far as ever from being able to create them. All reasonable beings will allow that the more "gifts" a mam has the greater is his responsibility for the use of them. We feel that it is really a crime for one who possesses a fine intellect or a great talent of any kind not to make use of it for his own bene EXPECTANT ^.MOTHERS.

A great many holders of moderate fortunes are quite conscientious in giving a certain portion of their wealth as an acknowl? edgment or thank offering for the blessings they have received, but we have never heard yet of a man of very great wealth who considered it his duty to give tithes of his possessions. It seems a very simple thing for a man whose income is ?2,000 a year to give a tenth of it to benevolent pur? poses, a good many do this without getting or expecting any commenda? tion from their acquaintances, but lot one whose income is ^">00,000, give a tenth of it in the same way and the world would ring with praise of his wonderful generosity, although we know it is really far easier for him to give than it is for the poor man. The real difficulty is that no one measures what lie should give by what he has. but rather by what his neighbor gives, and the more one has the harder it be? comes to part with any of it. All who have to do with works of charity are well aware that it is to the poor rather than to the rich they must look for the support of their work, and the sweet old story of the poorwidow cast? ing her mite into the treasury is re? peated in among us every day and no one heeds it, save that One who saw it of old and who declared that she had given more than all the others, be? cause she gave of her penury.?Sun? day News. : i.
