He Makes a Plea for the Admission oa the Immigrant-How to Make the For eigners Good American Citizens A Human Wall of Defense. The subject of Dr. Talmage's recent ser mon at the Brooklyn Tabernacle was, "Shall America be Reserved for Americans," and his text, Acts xvii. 26: "And hath made of one blood all nations." That is, if for some reason general phlebotomy were ordered, and standing in a row were an American, an Englishman, a Scotchman and an Irish man, a Frenchman, a German. a Norwegian. an Icelander, a Spaniard. an Ittlian, a Rus sian and representatives of other nationali ties bared their right arm and a lancet were struck into it, the blood let out would have the same characteristics, for it would be red, complex, fibrine, globuli ne,chlorine, and containing sulphuric acid, potassium, phos phate of magnesia and so on. and Harvey and Sir Astley Cooper, and Richardson and Zim merman, and Brown-Sequard, and all the sci entific doctors, allopathic, homeopathic, by dropathic, and electic, would agree with Paul as, standing on Mars Hill, his pulpit a ridge of limestone rock fifty feet high and among the pi oudest and most exclusive and undemocratic people of the earth hecrashed into all their prejudices by ,eclaring in the words of my text that God had made "o'' one blood all nations." The countenance of the five races of the human family may be different as a result of climate or education, or habits, and the Malay will have the pro jecting upper jaw, and the Caucasian the oval face and small mouth, and the Ethio pian the retreating forehead and large lip, and the Mongolian the flat face of olive hue, and the American the copper colored com plexion, but the blood is the same and indi eates that they all had one origin and that Adam and Eve were their ancestor and an cestress. I think God built this American continent and organir- this United States republic to demonstrate the stupendous idea of the text. A man in Persia will always remain a Persian, a man in Switzerland will always remain aSwiss., a man in Austria will always remain an Austrian, but all foreign nationali ties coming to America were intended to be Americans. This laud is the chemical lab oratory where the foreign bloods are to be inextricably mixed up and race prejudices and race antipathies are to perish, and this sermon is an axe by which I hope to help kill them. It is not hard for me to preach such a sermon, because, although my ancestors came to this country about two hundred and fifty years ago, some of them came from Wales and some from Scotland and some from Holland and some from other lands, and I am a mixture of so many nationalities that I feel at home with people from under every sky and have a right to call them blood relations. There are madcaps and patriotic lunatics in this country who are ever and anon crying out, "America for Americans." Down with the Germans! Down with the Irish! Down are in some directions the popular cries, all of which vociferations I would drown out by the full organ of my text, while I pull out the stops and put my foot on the pedal that will open the loudest pipes, and run my fingers over all the four banks of ivory keys, playing the chant, "God hath made of one blood all nations." There is not five men in this audience, nor five men in any audience to-day in America except it be on an Indian reservation, who were not descended from foreigners if you go far enough back. The only native Americans are the Modocs, the Shawnees, the Chippewas, the Cherokees, the :hicka saws, the Seminoles, and such :,ke. If the principle, America only for Americans be carried out, then you and have no right to be here and we had better charter all the steamers, and clippers, and men-of-war, and achts and sloops, and get out of this coun try as quick as possible. The Pilgrim athers were all immigrants, the Huguenots all immigrants. The cradle of most every oe of our families was rocked on the bank f the Clyde. or the Rhine, or the Shan on, or the Seine, or the Tiber.I ad the watohword "America for Ameri ans" -been an early and successful ry, where now stanid our cities would have stood Indian wigwamns, and canoes instead f steamers would have tracked the Hudson ad the Connecticut; and, instead of the ississippi being the main artery of the continent it would have been only a trough for deer and antelope and wild pigeons to :rink out of. What makes the cry of "America for Amer'cans'' the more absurd and the more inhuman in that some in this country who themselves arrived here in their boyhood, or arrived here only one or two generations back are joining in the cry. Escaped from foreign dospotisri themselves they sayv: ' Shut the door of scape for others." Getting themselves on our shores in a life boat from the ship wreck saying, haul the boat on the beach and let the rest of the passengers go to the bottom! Men who have yet on them a Scotch, or German, or English or Irish brogue crying out, America for Amer ans! What if the native inhabitants of Heaven, I mean the angels, the cher-ubim,. the seraphim barn there, should stand in the gate and when they rea us coming up at the last should say: "Go back! Ileaven for the Heavenlans !" Of course wve do well not to allow forcing nations to make this country a convict colony. We would have a wall built as higkc as heaven and as deep) as hell against foreign thieves, pickpockets and Anarchists. We would not let'them wipe their feet on the mat at the outside door of Castle Garden If England or Russia or Germany or France send here their desperadoes to get clear es them, we would have these desperadoe: sent back in chains to thre places where they came from. We will not have A meri-s become the dumping place for foreign vagabondism. But you bnild up a wall at the Narrows before New York harbor, or at the Golden Gate before Sane Fran cisco, and forbid the coming of the indusa trious and hard'working and honest popula tions of other lands who want to breathe the air of our free institutions and get opportunity for better livelihood, and it I only a question of time when God wilh tumble that wall flat on our own heads with the red-hot thunder:bolt of His omnipoten*, indignation. You. are a father and you have tive children. The par-or is the best room in your house. Your son Philip say: to the other four children. 'Now, John, yet' live in the small room in the end of the hal and stay there: George, you live in the gaz ret and stay thcre; Mary, you live in the collar and stay there; Fannie. you live in ths kitchen and stay there. I, Philip, will take the parlor. It suits me exactly. I like the pictures on the wall. I like the lambra quins at the windows. I like the Axminstes on the floor. Now, I, Philip, propose t., occupy this parlor and I command you ti stay out. The parlor only for Philippians." You, the father, hear of this arrangement and what will you do? You wiil get red in he face and say. "John, come out o* that small room at the en-d of the hab: George, come down out of the garret; Mary come up from the cellar; Fannie, come out of the ritcen, and go into the parlor or aay where you choose; and, Philip, for your greediness and unbrotherly behavior, I pat you for two hours in the dark closet under the stairs." God is the father of the human race. He has at least five sons, a North American, a South American. a European an Asiatic, and an African. The North American sniffs the breeze and he says to his four brothers and sisters: "Let the South American stay in South America, let the European stay in Europe, let the Asiatic stay in Asia. let the African stay in Africa, but America is for me. I think it is the parlor of the whole earth. I like its carpdts of grass and its upholstery of the front win dow, namely the American sunrise, and the upholstery of the back window, namely the American sunset. Now I want you all to stay out and keep to your places." I am sure the Father of the whole human race would hear of it and chastise ment would come and, whether by earth quake or flood or droug ct or heaven darken ing swarms of locust and grasshopper or destroying angel of pestilence. God would rebuke our selfishness as a nation and say to the four winds of heaven: "This world is my house and the North American is no more my child than is the South American and the European and Asiatic and the Af rican. And I built this world for all the children, and the parlor is theirs and all is theirs." For let me say, whether we will or not, the population of other lands will come here. There are harbors all the way from Baffin's bay to Galveston. and if you shut fifty gates there will be other gate; unguarded. And if you forbid foreigners from coming on the steamers they will take sailing vessels. And if you forbid them coming in sailing vessels they will come in boats. And if you will not let them come in boats they will come on rafts. And if you will not allow wharfage to the raft they will leave it out side Sandy Hook and swim for tree AmerI ca. Stop them! You might as well pass a law forbidding a swarm of summer bees from lighting on the clover top, or pass a law forbidding the tides of the Atlantic to rise when the moon puts under it silver grappling hooks, or a law that the roonday sun should not irradiate the atmosphere. They have come. They are coming now. They will come. And if I had a voice loud enough to be heard across the seas I would put it to the utmost tension and cry: Let them come! You stingy, selfish, shriveled up, blasted souls who sit before your silver dinner plate piled up with breast of. roast turkey incarnadined with cranberry, your fork full and your mouth full and cramning down the superabundance till your digestive organs are terrorized, let the millions of your fellow men have at least the wishing bone. But some of this cry, America for Amezi cans, may arise from an honest fear lest this land be overcrowded. Such persons had bet ter take the Northern Pacific or Union Pa cific or Southern Pacific or Atlantic and Charlotte Air Line or Texas Sante Fe, and go a long journey, and find out that no mare than a tenth part of this continent is fully cultivated. If a man with a hundred acres of farm land should put all his cultivation on one acre he would be cultivating a larger ratio of his farm than our nation is nv oer: pying of the national farm. Pour the why l human raoe,Europe. Asia. Afri'ea. and a'l tiho would be room to spare. All the Rocky fountain barrenness and all other Ameri can deserts are to be fertilized, and as Sa!t Lake City and much of Utah which ourc yielded not a blade of grass now by arti ial irrigation have become gardens, so a large part of this continent that now is too poor to grow even a mullein stalk or a Canada thistle, will, through artificial irri gation, like an Illinois prairie wave with wheat or like v Wisconsin farm rustle with corn tassels. Beside that, after perhaps a century or two more, whei this continent is quite well occupied, the tides of immi ration will turn the other way. politics and governmental affairs being norrected on the other side of the waters, Ireland under different regulation turned into a garden will invite back' another generation of rishmen, and the wide wastes of Russia brought from under depotism will with her wn green fields invite back auother gener ion of Russians. And there will be hun reds of thousands of Amerie::ns every year ettling on the other continents. And after a number of centuries, all the earth full and crowded, what thonu Weli. at hat time eomne night a pauther meteor wan iering through the heavens will put its paw n our world and stop it, and putting its anther tooth into the neck of its mountain ange will shake it lifeless as a rat terrier a at. So I have no more fear of America eing overcrowded than that t he porpoises n the Atlantic Ocean will become so nu :erous as to stop shipping. It is through mighty addit ions of foreign population to our native population that I think God is going to fill this land with a race of people ninety-five per cent. superior to any thing the world has ever seen. Ia termarriage of families and intermarriage f nations is - depressing and crippling. Mfarriage outside of one's own nationality and with another style or nationality is a mighty gain. W hat makes the Scotch-Irish second to no pedigree for brain and stamina f character, so that blood goes right up to Supreme Court bench and to the front rank of jurisprudence and merchandise and art ? Because nothing un der heaven can be more unlike than a Sotchman and an Irishman, and the de scendants of these two conjoin~ed nation alities, unless rum flines them, go rizht to the tiptop of every thieg. All nat iorrdities :ominst to this land, the o posites will all the while be affianced and French and Germnn will unite and that will stop all the quar rel betwveen them, and one child they will all Alsace and the other Lorraine. And hot blooded Spaniards wilt unite with cold blooded Polander, anid romanltic Italians with matter of fact Norwegians, and a hun dred and fifty years from now the race oe upying this land wrill be in stature, in purity of complexion, in liquidity of eye, in gracefulness of poise, in dome-lik-e brow, in taste, in intelligence and in morals so far ahead of any thing now known on either side the seas that this last quarter of the nineteenth century will sceem to them like the Dark Ages. 0, then how they will legis late and bargain and pray and preach and govern! This is the land where by the nin gling of races the race prejudi.e is to get its death blow. How Hearen feels about it we may conclude from the fact that Christ, the Jew, and descended from ai Jewess. neverthe less provided a r-eligioni for all races, and that Paul, thorugh a Jew, became the chiel apostle to the Gent iles~nd that recently God has allowed to burst in splendor upon the at tention of the word Hirsch, the. Jew. who ster giving ten maillien holiurs to Chr-istian 3hurches and hospitals, has called a commit tee of nations and furnlishe!d thlem w'th forty million dollars for s:-hools to elevaitc his race in France aind Ger:nany and aunssia to higher intelliigence and abolish, as he says, the prejudice~s anr inst their race, these fifty million dollars not given irn a at will and testament and at a time wvhen a man must leave his money anyhow, but by donation at fifty-five years of age and in good health, utterly eclipsing all benevo lence since the world wasi cr-eated. I must confess there was a linim- when I entartaioxi -ace prejudice, hut, thanks to God. that prejudice has aone. arnd if I sat in church 'and on 0110 side of rme there was ablacl; man and on the other side of mre wvas an Indiaa and beoe maB wa-, a (thinaman ad htn me a Turk, I would be as happy as I am now standing in the presence of ' this brilliant audience, and I am as happy now as I can be and live. The sooner we get this corpse of race prejudice buried, the healthier will be ourAmerican atmosphere. Let each one fetch a spade nd let us dig its grave clear on down deeper and deeper until we get as far down as the center of . the earth and hall way to China, but no further lest it poison those living on the other side the earth Then into this grave let down the accursec carcass of race prejudice and throw on it all the mean things that have ever beer said and written between Jew and Gentile. between Turk and Russian, between En. glish and French, between Mongolian and anti-1longolian, between blac!c and white, and put up over that grave fora tombstone some scorched and jagged chunk of scorm suit out by some volcanic eruption and chisel on it for epitaph: "Here lies the car cass of one who cursed the world. Aged, near 6.00 years. Departed tifs life for the perdition from.whence it came. No peace to its ashes !" Now, in view of this subject, I have two point blank words to utter, one suggesting what forei.ners ought to do for us. and the other what we ougat to do for foreigners. First, to foreigners. Lay aside all apologetic air and realize you have as much righ: as any man who was not only himsel! barn hero but his father and grand . fatber and great-grandfather before him Are you an Englishman? Though during the Revolutionary war your fathes treated our fathers roughly, England has more than atoned for that by giving t. this coantry at least two denominations of Christians, the Church of England and the Methodist church. Witness the mag nificent liturgy of the one and the Wesleya hallelujahs of the other. And who shall ever pay England for what Shakespeart and John Aiiton and Wordsworth and thousand other authors have done for America? Are you a Scotchman? Than!k. for John Knox's Presbyterianism; the balance wheel of all other denominationr. And how shall Americans ever pay your native land for what Thomas Chalimera and Mackintosh and Robert Burns and Christopher North and Robert McChcyns and Candlish and Guthrie have done for Americans? Are you a Frenchman! We cannot forget your Lafayette, who, in the most desperate-time of our American Revo: lutiou, New York surrendered and ou armies flying in retreat, espoused our cause and at Brandywine and Monmouth and Yorktown put all Americans under eternal obligation. And we can not forget the com ing to the rescue of our fathers Rochambeau and his French fleet' with six thousand armed men. Are you a German? We have not forgotten the eleven wounds through which your Baron de Katb poured out his life blood at the head of the Maryland and Delaware troops in the disastrous battle at Camden, and after we have named our streets and our cities and counties after him we have net paid a tithe of wbst we owe Germany for her valor and self-sacri lice. And what about Martin Luther, the giant German who made way for religious liberty for all lands and ages? Are you a Polander? How can we forget your bril liant Count Pulaski, whose bones were laid in Savannah river after a mortal wound gotten while in the stirrups of one of the fiercest cavalry charges of the American Revolution? .but with no time to ,particu larize, I say: "All hail to the men and women of other lands who come here with honest purpose!" Renounce all obligation to foreign despots. Take the oath of Ameri can allegiance. Get out your naturalization papers. Don't talk against our institutions, forLt hahat me here and tay, -o if you don't ll " steamers going out of our ports almost every day, and the fare is cheap, and, lest you should be detained for parting civilities, I hid you good-bye now. But if you like it here, then I charge you, at the ballot-box, in legislative hall, in churches, and every where be out and out Americans. Do not cry to establish here the loose foreign Sab iaths or transcendentalism spun into a re ligion of mush and moonshine, or foreign libertinism or that condensation of all thievery, scoundrelism, lust, murder, and perdition which in Russia is called Nihilism and in France called Communism and in America called Anarchism. Unite with us in making by the grace of God tb fifteen million square miles of America on both sides the Isthmus of Panama the paradise of virtue and religion. My other word suggests what Americans ought to do for foreigners. By all possible means explain to them our institutions. Coming here, the vast majority of them know about as much concernmug repubhi can or democratic form of government as you in the United States know about poli tics of Denmark, or France, or Italy, or Switzerland, namely. nothing. Ex plain to them that liberty iu this country means liberty to do right, but not liberty to do wrong. Never sn their presence say anything against their native land, for, no matter how much they may have been oppressed there, in that native land there are sacred places, cabins or mansions around whose doors they played, and perhaps somewhere is a grave into which they would like, when life's toils are over, to be let down, for it is mnothers grave, and it would be like going again into the loving arms that first held them and aainst the bosom that first pillowed them. My ! my ! how low down a man must have descended to hare no regard for the placeI where his cradle was rocked. Don't maock their brogue or their stumbling attempts at the hardest of all languages to learn, namely the English language. I warrant that they speak English as well us y-ou conld talk Scandinavian. Treat thenm in America as you would like to be treated if for the sake of your honest principles or a b:etr livelihood for yourself or your family you had moved under the shadow of Jungfrau, or the Rigi, or the Giant's Causeway, or the Bohemia Forest, or the Franconian Jura. f they get homnesick, as some of them are, suggest to them that God is as near to help them here as He was near them before they crossed the Atlantic, and that the sott's final flight Is less than a second whether fromi the bea-h of the Caspuian Sea or the hankts of Lake Erie. Evangeli::e their adults through the churches and their children trough the schools umn! let home missions and tract socie-te.< and the Bible translated in all the languiages of these foreign people have full swine. Rejoice as Christian patriots that instead of being an element of weakness the foreign peoule thoroughly evangelized will be our mightiest defense against all the world. The C.onigress of the United States recently ordered built new for-ts all up and down our Ame rican coasts, and a newv navy is about tos he projected. But let me say that three hundred million dollars expended in coast defense will not he so mighty as a vast foreign population living in Amer-ica.

THE OLD, OLD STORY. LOVE AT FIRST SlI;ilT-ARENTAL O0I'O SITiON-E LOPE!E:-31A '-I'R E. The Bride a Daughter of Chief Justice Fuller-The Groom a Young Man of Chicago-They Met at a Candy Shop and Eloped to Milwaukee, Whore They Were Spliced by a Plain Justice of the Peace. CHIcA;o, March 23.-A Milwaukee special says: Miss Pauline Fuller, fifth daughter of Chief Justice Fuller. was married here last night at the Kirby Ilouse, by a Jus tice of the Penre. The groom was J. Matt Auhery, Jr., of Chicago, and it was a runaway match. When the 6:30 train arrived last even ings a petite woman was helped off the steps of the parlor car by a well-knit voung manz with a smooth face. The lady was closely veiled and was escorted to a carriage by her companion. They were driven at once to the Kirby House, where they registered. No loom was assigned to thm, and the lady and her companion spent the early evening in the hotel parlor. About 9 o'clock the young man came down stairs and in formed the clerk that he wanted a Jas tice of the Peace. Inside of fifteen minutes Justice Gregory arrived. There was a hurried consultation, and then the young man brought the blushing young lady forward. The ceremony was a brief one, and the Justice, who is a very pm saie old gentleman, put on no extra frills. I;e did not know that the bride was the daughter of the Chief Justice of the United States, and neither did any of those who were present, outside of the contracting parties. When the cere mony was concluded, the old Justice called for witnesses, and two young men were captured in the billiard room and ran to affix their signatures to the neces sary document. The knot was legally and firmly spliced. Mrs. Aubery, nee Pauline Fuller, is 19 years of age, highly educated and a remarkably handsome woman. J. Matt Aubery, Jr., is 23 years of age. He is a' son of the general Western agent of the Merchants Despatch Fast Freight Line. J. M. Aubery, Sr, has been a resident of Chicago since 1876, when be left Mil waukee. He is well known here, and Congressman Isaac Van Schaick is one of his most intimate friends. Young Aubery is employed in his father's office in Chicago. He is a handsome young fellow. As near as can be learned, the ac aintance of the bride and groom began about three years ago. Justice Fuller. who was thet~ plain Lawyer Fuller, lived w.f H n. nes. on ake home of young Aubery. .The young people first met at a party given in the neighborhood. An attachment sprung up between them, and when it became apparent, it was opposed by the Fullers. Miss Pauline declared, however, that she would marry whom she pleased, and her father recognized her right to do as she pleased Mrs. Fuller continued to op pose the match. About this time Lawyer uler was named as Chief Justice of the United States. Mrs. Fuller packed up and carried Miss Pauline away to Washington, with the other Misses Ful ler. About the 1st of last January Miss Pauline came to Chicago, and has since remained in that city, visiting friends of the family. The story of the- elopement of the oung pair' is an interesting one, and emonstrates that young Aubery has cut his eye teeth. To begin with, he hired two detectives to shadow him and his aillanced until they, left Chicago. Ifis object was to learn if any one was olowing them and to prevent the young lady being rescued. It was early in the afternoon when lie met Miss Fuller. nd a Chicago candy store was the trys ring place. They boarded the Milwaukee and St. Paul train at the Union Depot t 3:30 o'clock and came direct to this A cor-respondeLnt called on Justice Gre gory early this morning and greatly astonished that gentleman by informing in that he bad married the daughter fit- Chief Justice of the United] States. On loooking at the marriage certificate, however, he was more surprised that the fact had not struck him before, for there before his eves were the full names of the Chief Justice and uis wife, as well as hose of the groom's father and mother. Young Aubery proposes to remain m M:lwaukee a few days.. alicious Mlschief in the Graniteviill Cotton Milns.

An Interesting Account of the Recent Riot in Chin-Siang from the Pen of a Lady Well Known in This City. Below i reproduced an extract from a private letter from Mrs. Woodbridge, the wife of the Rev. Mr. Woodbridge, a missionary in China, published in the last ,ssue of the . othern Presbyterian. Mrs. Woodbridge is the daughter of Dr. James Woodrow of this city, and her letter treats of the recent riot at Chin kiang. China, where she is located. After saying that she was just recover ing from an attack of typhoid fever, she says: "I write to assure you of our safety after the dreadful riot of last week. A Sikh policeman (the Chinese hate the Sikh. beat a Chinaman for some tres pass in the foreign settlement last Tues day, the 5th. and the Chinese burned the police station. Then they looted and burned a new 20,000 or $30,000 house just erectel, the English Consu late, Marshal's house, Mr. Hunnex's (American Baptist, South), Mr. Bryan's (American Baptist, South) fine new house just put up. the Baptist chapel, and a row of five buildings, one of which was our first home it Chin-kiang, in 1854. They looted the American Con sulate, and took axes, and cut and smashed everything in the Northern American Methodist Episcopal chapel. No lives were lost, but everybody had to run, saving only the clothes they had on. Mrs. Hunnex had a week-old baby, and had to run for her life with her baby in her arms. They have three other children, the youngest four years old. Her husband was kept back by the Chinese for some reason. "We were down at the South Gate, and sta, ed up all that night, waiting for the rioters to come. The next morning early Mr. Woodbridge called coolies and had me taken to Mr. Bear's on our hill. soon after we left fifty or sixty soldiers came and battered our house with stones, breaking the only small window that had ao shutter. Our neighbors reasoned with them that they ought not to injure >ur house, and so they left our dear lit le home undisturbed, for which we :bank the Lord who has been so good to is. We stayed at Mr. Bear's one night, .d are now in our own hill home, to ;tay until I am well again. "Gunboats were telegraphed for and here are four or five now anchored sere, and all is quiet. Gen. Kennedy game up, and the Chinese will have to )ay large sums for the handsome build ngs they destroyed. I should think at east $100,000. Gen. Kennedy came to )ur Sunday service at our house and ;poke to the Chinese, Mr. Woodbridge nterpreting. When he left he shook ands all round-something very nun ;ual in China, whet e people shake their can crush us if they like, port or no port, if the-Lord were not caring for us. The rioters were mostly the riff-raff and people from other places. It is Chinese ew Year's too, and a bad year of amine, floods and drought all over hina. The suffering in China this rear is fearful. I hope and think we ;hall be quiet hereafter. The Sikh policemen, the cause of many disagree nents, have left for good. Burning houses is a capital offense, and several >f the men have been caught. "Almost all the foreigners have left For Shanghai. I am the only married issionary lady here. Misses Hoag, Robinson, and Peters are next door. r. Bear and Mr. Woodbridge are the nly male missionaries here. Why should ise escape and others suffer?"-Colr da Daily Register. A GHA STLY DISCOVERY.
