CELESTIAL SONGS. THE MUSIC OF THIS WORLD AND - "" HEAVEN. The "New Songay of Heaven Composed in Memory of the Cross, the Manger, the Thorns, the Crown and Eternal Glory. BROOKLYN, Sept. 7.-Dr. Talmage's sermon for to-day is a glowing descrip tion of the melodies of the Celestial land. His text was Rev. v. 9: "And they sang a new song." Following is the ser mon: Nearly all the cities of Europe and America have conservatories of music, and associations, whose object it is, by voice and instrument, to advance the art of sweet sounds. On Thursday nights, Exeter hall, of London, used to resound with the music of first-class performers, who gave their services gratuitously to the masses, who came in with free tick ets and huzzaed at the entertainment. At Berlin, at eleven o'clock daily, the military band, with sixty or one hundred instruments, discourses at the royal opera house for the people. On Easter Sun day, in Dresden, the boom of cannon and the ring of bells, bring multitudes to the churches to listen to the organ peals, and the exciting sounds of trum pet and drum. When the great fair-day of Leipsic comes, the bands of music, from far and near, gather in the street, and bewilder the ear with incessant play ing of the flute, and horn, violin and bas soon. At Dusseldorf, once a year, the lovers of music assemble, and for three or four days wait upon the great singing festivals, and shout at the close of the chorouses, and greet the successful com petitors as the prizes are distributed cups and vases of silyer and gold. All our Amercian cities at times resound with orchestra and oratorio. Those who can sing well or play skilfully upon instruments are greeted with vocifera tion, and garlanded. by excited ad mirers. There are many whose most ecstatic delight is to be found in melodies: and all the splendor of celestialgates, and all the lusciousness of twelve manner of fruits, and all the rush of floods from under the throne of God, would not make a heaven for them if there were no great and transporting harmonies. Passing along our streets in the hour el worship, you hear the sacred melody, al though you do not enter the building. And passing along the street of heaven we hear, from the temple of God and the Lamb, the breaking forth of magnifi -cient jubilate. We may not yet enter In among the favored throng, but God will not deny us the pleasure of stand ing awhile on the outside to hear. John hstened to it a great while ago, and "they sang a new song." Let none aspire to that blessed place who have no love for this exercise, for although it is many ages since the thrones were set, and the harps were strung, there has been no cessation in the song, excepting once for about thirty minutes; and judging from the glorious things now transpiring in God's world, and the ever-accumulating triumphs of the Messiah, that was the last half-hour that heaven will ever be silent. Mark the fact that this was a new song. Sometimes I have in church been Sfloated away upon some great choral, in which all our people seemed to mingle ~their voices, andlI have. in the glow ol Smy emotions, said, Surely this music ~is good enough for heaven. Indeed I de not believe that "Luther's Hymns.";or 'Coronation," or Old Hundred." or S"Mount Pisgah," would sound ill il ~~spoken by sainted lips, or thrummed T 'rom seraphic harps. There are many of our fathers and mothers in glory who Swould be slow to shut heaven's gate agains't these old-time harmonies. But Sthis, we are told, is a new song. Some Sof oar greatest anthems and chorals ,.are compositions from other tunes-the sweetest parts of them gathered up inte the ,harmony; and I have sometimes thought that this "new song" may be cpartly made up of the sweet strains o1 Searthly music mingled in eternal choral. But it will, after all, be a new song. ThsIdo know, that ir,. sweetness and power it will be something that eaz -never heard. All the skill o ie oldest ~harpers of heaven will be flung into it. All the love ofGod'sheart wifl ring from it. In its cadences the floods will clall 1their hands, and it will drop with the nngtof everlasting day, and breathe wit ororsfrom the blossoms of the trkee-of life. "A new song"-justmade or heaven. Many earthly songs are written by jcomposers just for the purpose of mak. SInga tune; and the land is flooded with -m ote-books in which really valuable tunes ~are the exception. But 'once in a while S'a man is wrought up by some great s~.pectacle, or moved by srnme terrible 'G ony, or transported by some exquisite and he sits down to write a tune or a hymn, in which every note or every word is a spark dropped from the forge of his own burning emotions. Sc Mendelssohn wrote, and so Beethoven, Sand so Charles Wesley. Cowper, de pressed with misfortunes until almost in sane, resolved on suicide, and asked the cab-driver to take him to a certain place where he expected to destroy his own ife. The cab-driver lost his way, and Cowper began to think of his sin, and went back to his home and sat down and wrote "God moves in a my-sterious way, His wonders to perform; iHe plants his footsteps in the sea, And rides upon the storm. -"Ye tearful saints, fresh courage take, The cloulds you so much dread SAre big with mercy, and shall break In blessings on your head." Mozart composed his own requiem, and said to his daugther Emily, "Play t;"~t and while Emily was playing the ueq.mzart's soul went up en the wave of his own music Into glory. Emi ly looked around, and her father was dead. This new song of heaven was not comn posed because heaven had nothing else to do, but Christ, in memory of cross and crown, manger and throne, of earth and heaven, and wrought upon by the raptures of the great eternity, poured this from His heart, made it for the armies of heaven to shout in celebration of viectory, for worshipers to chant in their temple services, for the innumer able home circles of heaven to sing in the house of many mansions. If a new tune be started in church, there is only here and there a person can sing it. It is some time before the congregation learn a new tune. But not so with the new song of heaven. The children who went up to-day from the waters of the Ganges are now singing it. That Christian man oi- woman, who, a few minutes ago, de parted from this very street, has joined it. -All know it-those by the gates, those on the river bank, those in the temple. Not feeling their way through it, or halting, or going back, as if they never before had sung it, but with a full ound voice they throw their soul into this new song. If some Sabbath day a few notes of that anthem should travel down the air, we could not sing it. No organ could roll its thunder. No harp could catch its trill. No lip could an nounce its sweetness. Transfixed, lost, ,enchanted, dumb, we could not hear it-the faintest note o1 the new song. Yet, while I speak, heaven's cathedral ua!lkes under it, and seas of glory bear it frm bach to beach, and ten thons and times ten thousand. and thousan sing it-"the new song." Further: It is a commemorativeson We are distinctly told that it makes . ference to the past deliverances. O how much have they to sing abot They sing of the darkness througti whl on earth they passed, and it is a ni song. That one was killed at Yor town, and with him it is a battle son That one was imprisoned for Chrisi sake, and with him it is a prison sot That was a Christian sailor-boy thath; his back broken on the ship's halyarc and with him it is a sailor's song. TI one burned at Smithtield, and with i it is a fire song. Oh! how they w sing of floods waded, of fires endured, persecution suffered, of grace extende Song of hill ! Song of sword! Song hot lead ! Song of axe! As whea t organ-pipes pealed out some great h: mony, there comes occasonally t sound of the tremulante, weepi: through the cadences, adding exqulsil ness to the performances, so amidst t stupendous acclaim of the heaven worshipers shall come tremulous i membrazees of past endurance, addin; sweetness and glory to the triump train. So the glorified mother will si of the cradle that death robbed; and t enthroned spirit from the alms hou will sing of a lifetime of want. God m wipe away all tears, but not the memc of the grief that started them! Further: It will be an accompani song. Some have great prejudice agair musical instruments; and even aino those who like them, there is an id that they are unauthorlzed. I love cyi bals, for Israel clapped them in triumi at the Red Sea. I love the harp, I David struck it in praising the Lord. love the trumpet, for we are told that shall wake the dead. I love all string instruments and organs; for God mands that we shall praise Him stringed instruments and organs. Th<i is in such music much to suggest t higher worship; for I read that when had taken the book, the four-and-twer elders fell down before the Lamb. Ii mg everyone of them "harps," and heard the voice of the harpers harp! with their harps," and "I saw them tl had gotten the victory from the be: standing on the sea of glass, having t harps of God." Yes, the song Is to be accompani You say that all this is figurative. Ti I say, prove it. I do not know how mu ofitis literal, an%: now much of it is figui five. Who can say but that from so! of thelprecious~words of earth and heav there may not be made instruments celestial accord. In that worship Dai may take the harp, and Habakkuk t shigionoth; and when the great mul tudes shall, following their own iclii tions, take up instruments sweeter th Mozart ever fingered, or Schumann ei dreamed of, or Beethoven ever wrote fi let all heaven make ready for the bu: of stupendous minstrelsy, and the r of the eternal orchestra! Further: It will be an anticipati song. Why, my friends, heaven I haraly begun yet. If you had taken t opening piece of music to-day for t whole service, you would not have ma so great a mistake as to suppose ti heaven is fully inaugurated. Fes choruses on earth last only a short whi The famous mnsical convocation at Di seldoaf ended with the fourth day. C holidays last only eight or ten days; I heaven, although singing for so ma years. has only just begun "the n, song.' If the glorified inhabitants: count past deliveranees, they will a. enkindle at glories to come. If, at ni o'clock, when the church opened, y had taken the few people who were sc tered through it as the audience, 3 would not have made so great a mista as if you supposed that the present pc ulation of heaven are to be its chief c zenship. Although millions are alrea there, the inhabitants are only a ha; ful compared with the future populatioi All China is yet to be saved. All Ini is yet to be saved. All Borneo is yet be saved. All Switzerland is yet to saved. All Italy is yet to be saved. Spain is yet to be saved. All Russit yet to be saved. All France is yet to saved. All England is yet to be savy All Ameriea is yet to be saved. All;t world is yet to be saved. After tI there may be other worlds, to conquer do not know but that every star il glitters in our nights is an inhabil world, and that from all those sphere mighty host are to march mnto our he: en. There will be no gate to keep th< out. We will not want to keep thi out. God will not want to keep the out, I have sometimes thought that alli millions of earth that go into glory:a but a very small colony compared wv the influx from the whole universe. (G could build a heaven large enough 1 only for the universe, but for 10,( unverses. I do not know just how will be, but this I know, that heaven to be constantly augmented; and thati song of glory is rising higher and high and the procession is being multipi If heaven sang when Abel went up-i first soul that ever left earth for glory how must it sing now when souls go in flocks from all Chistendom, hour hour. and moment by moment. Our happy gatherings on earth chilled by the thought that soon we mi seperate. Thanksgiving and Christn days come, and the rail trains flying thi er are crowded. Glad reunions ta place. We have a time of grand enj< ment. But soon it is "good-bye in hall," "good-bye" at the door, "go< bye" on the street, "good-bye" at 1 rail train, "good-bye" at the steamb< wharf. We meet in church. It is go to be here. But soon the doxology v be sung, the benediction pronounce and the audience will be gone. 1 there are no seperaticns, no good-b' in heaven. At the doe: of the house many mansions no good-bye. Att yeary-gate, no good-bye. The song v be more pleasant, because we are alwa to sing it. Mightier song as oi friends come in.

Our voices now may be harsh as and our ears uncultivated, but, our at throats cleared at last, and our capacities .m en'arged, you and I will not be ashamed ill to utter our voices as loudly as any of of them. ! Those nations that have always been of distinguished for their capacity in song he will lift up their voices in that melody. tr- Those who have had much opportunty he to hear the Germans sing will know what ag idea I mean to give, when I say that the .e- areat German nation will pour their deep hle lu voices into the new song. Every 13 body knows the natural gift of the Afri can for singing. No singing on this con a tinent like that of the colored churches al in the South. Everybody going to Rich o mond or Charleston wants to hear the he Africans sing. But when not only old se Ethiopia, but all that continent of dark ay ness, lifts up its hands, and and all Af ry rica pours'her great volume o voice into ed the new song-that will be music for you. ed Added to these are all the 16,000,000, tst 000 of children that are estimated to u have gone into glory, and the host of ca young and old that hereafter shall peo ~ ple the earth and inhabit the stars. Oh! the new song! Gather itall up! or Multiply it with every sweetness! Pour . into it every harmony ! Crown it with it every gladness ! Belt it with every ed evryg ed splendor !

But be sure that your hearts e are now attuned for the heavenly wor ship. There is a cathedral in Europe d. with an organ at each end.

There will be six hours of discussion all to-morrow and then the final vote will e. be taken upon the bill as it stands to 'o night. It was just as the bill was six about to be completed that Senator But a ler proposed to place cotton bagging on t~v the free list. Under the agreement he it was not allowed to discuss his proposi to tion, but lie cleverly managed to remind - the Senate that it had given relief to the lie Western wheat farmers by putting -et binding twine on the free list. He simply ie asked that even jnstice be shown to ie Southern cotton planters. Several Re publicans raised the point that debate ls, was not in order, but he had said all lie .p- cared to say on the subject. A vote ey was taken and the party lines were si- drawn, hence the Butler amendment he was defeated.

A DOUBLE BIGAMIST. Suspected of Murdering the Wife Ie Married in Georgia. ATANrA, Ga., Sept. ).-J. P. I1aw ley, a white man, is a double bigamist and in a hard row of stumps. He has linisied a term in the Georgia peni tentiary, his time being up yestcr day, and is now on his way to another trial for bigamy, this tinic in South Carolina. And still hanging over his head is another charge of bigamy in Nor th Carolina. The man's martrimo nial history. so far as known, is some thing unique. It begins with his mar riage into a respectable faiilv in North Carolina. Hawley lived with this wife about one year. Then he skipped. The next chapter concerns his marriage to a very estimable young lady in South Carolina. le lived with this wife about a year and then he skipped again. His next marriage was in Decatur county, this state. This wife died suddenly and Hawley was suspected of having poison ed her. He never admitted it. however, and the evIdence was not sufficient to convict him. The investigation brought out the fact, though that Hawley had a living wife in North Carolina. and this in turn finally brought out the fact that he had a living wife in South Carolina. le was tried ~in Georgia and sentenced to four years for bigamy. His time was up vesterday. As soon as Hawley was re leased he was arrested upou a warrant from South Carolina. The arrest upset him terribly. It happened at the camp of the Chattaoocheee Brick Company, where the many-times inartied man has been serving his term with Fleming. the blind bigamist, and others The queerest part of the whole thing is that Hawley, anticipating no further trouble for his past misdeeds, had made his preparations, by correspondence, for another courtship and marriage. Just how the correspondence began (lose not appear. The young lady is of good family, but crcdulous to a notable degree. Hawley wrote that he had extensive possessions in Florida, and elsewhere; and made love seriously. le informed her that he had on his hands at present a large contract for making brick, but as soon as his buisness would permit-which lie believed would be about the 8th ofSep tember-he would pay his respects in person and make further arrangements. The young laday's ecape from matrimo ny is a peculiary fortunate one, and will doubttess teach her a lesson not soon to be forgotteh. TARIFF BILL PASSED. The Ballot on the Passage of the ill Stood 40 to 29. WASHINOTGO, Sept. 10.-The senate met at 11 a.m., and at 12 began the final six hours' discussion of the tariff bill. Senator Hiscock took the floor, but yielded to Senator Hoar, who expressed the hope that the conference on the bill might modify the reciprocity feature 8s as to leave the final power ofaction with congress, instead of the President. Senator Hiscock then entered upon a general argument in support of the bill. Senator Hiscock was followed by Sena tors Turple and Vance, Democrats, who spoke in opposition to the bill. The increased duties on wool, woolen clothes and other necessities of every day life, were severely criticIsed. as was aiso the feature which proposes to sub stitute a bounty for the duty on sugar. The debate was closed by a two-hours speech in support of the bill by Senator Jones of Nevada. He read his remarks rapidly from manuscript, and was care fully listened to throughout the entire time by leaders on both sides. He reviiew ed the bill entirely, speaking of its bear ing upon each industry, and holding that it is intended to aid, and will aid every important industry. He closed with a vigorous protes against the asser tion that the bill is sectional, as framed with the intetion of placing the South at a disadvantage. At 5.21 the vote was called upon the tariff bill, and it was passed, yeas 40, nays 29, all the Republicans voting yea and the Democrats nay. Senator Aldrich immediately moved the senate insist upon its amendments, and ask a conference. This was agreed to. and Messrs. Aldrich, Allison, Sher man, Hiscock, McPherson nnd Car lisle were appointed conferees. The senate then, at 5,30. adjononed to meet at 12 o'clock to-morrow. Advice to the Farmers. ATLANTA, Ga., Sept 6.-There is an Alliance circular that is attracting a good deal of attention to day. The peculiarly interesting part is the last parograph: "THlE FAIRERS' A LLIANCE OF GEOR GIA, ATL ANTA, GA., Sept. 5, 1890.-To the farmers of Georgia:-The great de cline in cotton from 11 to 9% cents, in less than a month, and the uncalled for tightness in the money market and a disposition on the part of speculators to gobble up the crop for less than the price of production, thereby making more out of it than the producer, and with a strong indication of a short crop, and after reviewing the situation relative to cotton: "We advise you, unless you can real ize 10 cents net at your home market for Septemb-r cotton, to hold it.

A Ye-y Conservative A. re's from th4 Nominee for Governor, Whilh was it Turn Followed by all the Ot:erv.-Cap~t. Tillman gives ills Views on Mlattors. COLLUMBIA. S. C., Se-pt. 11.-Shortly after four o'clock this morning a com mittee of twelve entered tha hall, t-s corting Capt. 1. R. Ti llman and the other noimimers. Their entrance was the signal for lod and long appl)Iause from the Tillmanites all of whom rose to their feet as the party passed up to the Speaker's stand. The remnant of the Straightout dele gation remaining in the hall kept tneir seats and looked and listened in silence, both to the cheering and to the speaking which immediately followed. Dr. Pope introduced each one of the nominees in turn to the convention. Capt. Tillman, on being introduced, spoke in substance as follows: Mr. President and Gentlemen of the Convention: After your ardous labors. lasting thoughout a day and night, I know that you are now worn out, I have had some sleep, and out of considera tion for you I shall be very brief, for you have had enough of speaking al ready. Captain Tillman, continuing, said that he would, therefore, only touch upon a few points which he felt it necessary now to mention. They had just conferred upon him a romination to the highest office within the gift of the people. and it has been customary for thosethus honored to speak of the sense of gratitude which overwhelms tjhem, but he must say that whilst he was profoundly grateful to the people whose representatives they were, yet the feeling of gratitude was not so much uppermost in his mind as was the sense of responsibility. They had not conferred upon him a boon but a burden, and he felt it so, and he realized now that no Governor from the colonial period down to the present time had ever been so much the subject of watch ful criticism as he would be. We have just passed through a most remarkable campaign, an un paralleled one. and it Is doubtful if such a state of affairs has existed in any other State. There must be a cause for this, and there was a cause. It was the cause of the people against ring rule and boss ism, and he was but the engineer, the masses were the engine. The issues of the campaign had been already fully discussed, and most of the member had already heard him do so at some point or other in the State. He would only say now in regard to them tha the verdict of the people had declared him to be right. Much had been said perhaps on both sides that might hav( been better left unsaid, and much bit terness of feeling had been engendered and yet he would say now that the grea victory for self-government, which hac been achieved by him in behalf of thi people, was well worth all of the hear burnings of the campaign, We entere this morning upon a new era in thi history of the State, and he trusted tha the new departure would be looke< back upon in after times with feeling! of deepest gratitude, for it was oni which made the people, the rank an( file of the Demoer:ey, the true and onli masters of the State. Ile knew that he was a plain, blun man; he had been charged sometime. with even brutal bluntness, and as consequence was to-day the worst hate( man in the State of South Carolina; an< yet after aU, the people had endorse( him. Why ? Compared to his two dis tinguished competitors, what was he A mere nobody. What was the reasot for it? It was not that the people wer< for Tillman; It was that they were fo: the principles of which he was the cx ponent. In accepting this nomination he felt that his peaceful dlays were gone and a heavy load of cari placed upon his shoulders. Be that a: it may, he would assume the office t< discharge its duties without fear, favo: or affection. Hie trusted, now that the campai had closed,the days of vituperation an< abuse had also closed. Ie had been re presented through the medium of thi press as a dangerous demagogue, worse than -Red Republican-as oni who had defamed his mother State When had he ever accused the peopl' of South Carolina of fraud or corrup tion ? He had charged official mistake and mismanagement, and had said tha such things should be righted and mus be righted. That was all there was i that. The turn of the wheel somnetime brought~ the scum to the surface, anm there were those that held that sucl was the case with the revolution whici had thrown him on top. If it were sc time would show. As regarded the hisses of those wh< opposed him, he could say now that hi felt no animosity towards them, no: did he entertain a single spark of re sentment in his bosom against any mai who h-ad not treated him with commoi decency in the campaign. Some there were who had not done so, and he coul< not say that he felt friendly dispose< toward them; but he would say that hi had no one to reward, no one to punish and would enter oflice with clean hands unpledged to anything whatsoever save to administer the laws faithfull) and impartially. Alluding once again to the bitternes: existing against him in certain quar ters, Captain Tillman asked the Con vetntion to contrast his action in the~ past, when he had accepted defeat an< concurred in unsatisfactory nomina tions, to the action of the people o Richland, who had instructed thel: delegates to vote against making hi nomniin ation unanimous. Richlan< might refuse to join the Tillmar column, but like the absence of thi statue of Pompey from Cosars triumph it only made the triumph more con spguous. Of the many slanders uttered agains him and spread broadcast over the land he would only stop now to notice one It was that In regardl to his having him self shadowed by detectives whilst ir Charleston. T1hat w~as an infamnous lie he did not know that any such had beer done until after he had left that city. Great stress had been laid upon th< matter of the b)ondled debt of the State and fears were said to be entertainet that his election as Governor would in. jriously atl'ect the credit of the State and it was sai:l that iuexperienced mer could rnot successfully manage th< Iinances of the State. Where wais there any experience needed in debt paying'. All that was needed was common hon esty and comnmon sense. Hie had al ways paid his own debts, always pro tected his own credit. Why then should he do anything to impair the credit of the State ? Ie bAieved that so far from any injury resulti:ig in this direction, the contrary world be the case, and that he would go out of office with the credit of the State standling highei than ever. Captain Tillman closed his speech, which was of much greater length than his opening remarks seem ed to promise. with an appeal for har imony, and said in conclusion that if all of the people of the State would but hold up his hands, we would enter up on an unprecedented career ot happi ness and prosperity. The speech was listened to by all in the hail with the closest attention. The Ion. Eugene B. Gary, candidate for Lieutenant Governor, lIon. J. E. Tidal, candlidate for Secretary of State, Gen. Y. J.
