I wondcr not that this mountaim of th mestone and red ;ranite has been the .-cination of scholars, o; scientists, oI hj ttelligent Christians in all ages. &Si.r r >hn llerschel, the astronomer, said he at tought it had astronomical significance. h( he wise men who accompanitd Napo- te on's arrav into Egypt went into pro- kr lund study of the pyiamid. In 1865 10 roIessor Smyth and hs wife lived in the tr npty tombs near by the pyramid that C ey might be as continuously as possi- fr e close to the pyramid which they were vestigating. The pyramid, built more ri an four thousand years ago, being a hi mpiele geometrical tigure. wise men th ie concluded it munsL ha*tve been div- al ely constructed. Mau caie through s oust'.ds of vears to line architcCture, fr iusic, to painting, but this was per- di ct at the world's start, and God mun1t w ive directed it. All astronomers and geometricians at id scientists eay that it was scientitical- 1 and mathematically coustructed be- h w re science and mathemacs were born. rom the inscriptions on the pyramid, th Dm its proportions, from the points of it .e compass recognized in its structure, ti( oM the direction in whmch its tun.els 11 o, from the relative l'oition of the lei ocks that compose it, scientists. Chris- ca ,ns and iullde's have demonstrated W, at the being who planned this pyramid th ust have known the world's sphericity, sa; id that its motion was rotary, and how br any miles it was in diameter and cir- BC imference, and how mnany tons the be rld weighs, and knew at what point af the heavens certain stars would ap- to rar at certain periods of time. pi Not in the four thousand years since te putting up of that pyramid has a ar ogle fact in astronomy or mathe- go atics been found to contradict the tit Isdom or that structure. Yet they Is4 id not at the age when the pyramid if as started an astronomer or an archI- an ct or a mathematician worth men- wi Duing. Who then planned the pyra- wi id? Who superintended its erection? th, 'ho from its first foundation stone to sti i cap:tone erected everything? It th, ust have been God. Isaiah was right sic hen he said In my text, "A pillar shall go at the border of the land of Egypt wi d it shall be for a sign and a witness." al e pyramid is God's tirst Bible. Hun- sa] eds, if not tnousands, of years before of e first line of the Look of Genesis thi as written, the lesson of the pyramid ad as written. mi Well, of what is this Cyclopean ma- bo inry a sign and a witness? Among her things-of the prolongation of wc iman work compared with the bre vity sir human life. Iim So men die but their work lives on. th: e are all building pyramids not to br st four ttiousand years, but forty et( ousand, forty million, forty trillion, bo rty quadrillion, forty quintillion. fo r a while we wield the trowel, or thi >und with the hammer, or measure lez ith the yard stick, or write with the m< n, or experiment with the scientific thi ,ttery, or plan with the brain, and for so while the foot walks, and the eye sees, do td the ear hears, and the tongue ag ~eaks. All the good words or bad so ords we speak are spread out into one . yer for a pyramid. All the kind eyv eds or malevolent deeds we do are ha read out into another layer. All the m< iristian or un-Christian example we plh t Is spread out in another layer. All foi e indirect influences of our lives are ch aread out in another layer. Then the he me soon comes when we put down the bo iplemnent of toll and pass away, but Ibe .e pyramid stands. 'eri If one of those granite blocks that I the st touchm with my feet on this Decem- i ir morning in 1889 as the t wo Arabs M ill me and the two other Arabs push the e, could speak out and tell its history so would say: "The place of my nativ- hy' 7 was down in the great stone quarry an Mokattan or Asswan.

In the last day many a I an and woman whose work has never ,en recognized en earth will come to j special honor. Tbe Ecumenical uncil, now in session at Washington, 1 5 delegates the honored representa ves of ilfty million Methodists in all rts or the earth, will at every session > honor to the memory of John Wes Y, but I wonier if any of them will ink to twist a garland for the inem y of humble Peter Bohler, the MIo vian, who brought John Wesley into e kingdom of God. I rejoice that all the thousands who tye been toiling on the pyramid of :hteousness will at last be recognized d rewarded-the mother who brought r children to Christ, the Sabbath Acher who brought her class to the towledge of the truth, the unpretend g man who saved a soul. Then the )wel will be more honored than the spter. As a great battle was going the soldiers were ordered to the Dnt and a sick man jumped out of an abulance in which he was being car !I to the hcspital. The surgeon asked n what he meant by gettieg out of e ambulance when he was sick and roost ready to die. The soldier an 'ered: "Doctor, I am going to the )nt. I had rather die on the field than a in an ambulance." Thank God; if cannot do much we can do little. his pyramid of rock seven hundred d forty feet ea~h side of the square se and four hundred and lifty feet, Z 1 which was the tomb of Cheops t .ns for him no respect. If a bone bis arm or foot had been found in s e sarcophagus beneath the pyramid, would have excited no more venera- t >n than the skeleton of a camel 4aching on the Libyan desert; 3ea, s veneration, for when I saw the car- a s3 of a camel by the roadside on the I tv to Memphis, I said to mysel f, "Poor I ing, I wonder of what it died." We t r nothing against the marble or the i Dnze of the necropolis. Let all that ilpture and florescence and arbore- 1 mce can do for the places of the dead done, if means will allow it. But if t ,er one is dead there is nothing lert remind the world of him but some 6ces of stone, there Is but little left. All around Cairo and Memphis there , the remains of pyramids that have ne down under the wearing away of e, and this great pyramid of which tiah in the text speaks will vanish the world lasts long enough; b d if the world does not last. then t th the earth's dissolution the py ramid 11 so dissolve. But the memories of )se with whom we associate are inde 'uctible. They will be more vivid V 3 other side of the grave than this te. It is possible for me to do you a od and for you to do me a good that 11 be vivid In memory as many years a :er the world is burned up as all the ids of the seashore, and all the leaves the forest, and all the grass blades of : field, and all the stars of heaven led together, and that aggregate ltiplied by all the figures that all the kkeepers of all time ever wrote.

A BURNING WELL. k Remarkable Phen.menox I* Discov cred in Kentucky. CRAB ORmcHARD, October 21.-What )romises to be as great a wonder as the [alking Oak of Dodona, has recently Jeen discovered on the lands of a poor 'armer living five miles east of here, iear the Rockcastle county line. It is L well, the clear, limpid, drinkable raters of which are infiamable as :aphtlia. The natives call it the burn ng well. It is about fitteen feet deep, xtending down through a strata of late rock. It contains a wooden >ump-stock, arid the water, as it comes old and sparkling from the depths of he well, has no more oder of gas about t than pure Kentucky Bourbon whis It has a slight mineral taste, and is xceedingly pleasant to drink, yet a lipperfut of it coming in contact with lame wvill take at once, blazing up like unpowder. Its discovery, if the na ives say true, was rather remarkable. IL party of excursionists from the prings here went out in that section in uest of ferns. fossils and the like. On heir return they spied the well and topped to get some water. An old ady, living hard by, brought a bucket na tilled it with the refreshing fluid or the thirsty ramblers, and after each Lad drank she poured the remainder on he ground near the well. Just at this astant a young dude of the party lit a igarettk and threw the match heed ssly to the ground. It chanced to all into the poured out water, which ook fire and ilashed up instantane usly, amazing and frightening the rhole party. At the suggestion of one of the on 3okers, more water was drawn and, to he wonder of all, it took fire as ready s an explosive, scorching the face and ebrows of the rasn experimenter who eld the match. The old lady's family as for years been using water out of he well, perfectly ignorant of its con alning fiery qualities. What adds to he strangeness of the phenomenon Is hat there is no mineral deposits any vbere near. Hundreds of people for ailes around have visited this burning rell and drank as well as tested the in .amability of its waters. Its discovery dds another celebrity to the numerous ronders for which Kentucky is famed e world over. Death of a Baby. The following from the pen of Bill Lrp Is as good as anything he ever rrote: "The baby is dead." That was the sad telegram that came ) us from far away where one of our :ys Is living. It saddened the household, for we ad never seen the child nor the mother, nd they w ere to come and visit us ext month, and expected to 1e so hap y. There Is trouble that is trouble rief that is grief. The first child, and Id enough to have twined around her other's heart and absorbed her very fe. The father can love, too, and ca ss and feel a father's pride, and he an weep and feel desolate. Time will emper his grief, but a mother never eases to lament the death of her first orn child. It has been more than thirty years nce we lost one, but the little gar lents that he wore were hidden away amewhere, and sometimes I see the iother fondling them as they lie in the Id trunk-the trunk that holds her eart's best treasures. It was Sterne rho said: "God tempers the wind to de shorn lamb," and so in time the oung mother's grief will be sweeter aan it is sad, and she will rise from it rjth a hope and a trust that she never nw before. A child in heaven is a ond that cannot be- taken-it is not st-lt is saved. But still the pang of operation is very crushing to the pa nts heart. How the world shrinks p how mean and insignificant are all s pleasures. I have felt that way, and een comforted with the feeling, and so know has every parent who has lost child. _______ A General Hlangmnna. WasmINc.ToN, C. UI., 0., Oct. 19. rm. A.

S. C., on Friday s gives a proper opportunity to recall r( those days. For, as was suggested in le the obituary notice published in the Sun tl of Saturday morning, this Duncan Nath- n aniel Ingraham was the hero of one .)f Ir those remarkable episodes which made di other nations understand that the tail of o the American bird could not be pulled, C plucked, twisted, trod upon, or other- di wise disrespectfully used under the guns s( of an American war vessel. fo There had beea Capt Paul Jones and A Commodore Perry and old Admiral at Porter, who had fought English and French and Portuguese and the Barbary p, Staten, and all manner of craft flying 1z thigs legitimate or illegitimate, and all ti, of them had come oil conquerors. se Those were the days of wooden ahips w and sailing craft, when the element of a romance was enhanced by the big sails and the swarming over the sideb with of cutlasses and halberds and all that sort tr of thing. A go,'d part of the oflicers re then were of Southern famIlies-scions ai of houses that unheld themselves in m something like feudal state. These in young men came of excellant ancestry, c. of which they were exceedingly proud. th O these Duncan Nathaniel Ingraham mj was one of the best examples. til His father had been a naval officer, a friend of Paul Jones and one of his com panions in that famous fight between C the Serapis and the Bon Homme Rich- I' ard. It was quite natural that the son th should enter the navy. le was born fr in 1802, and when 10 years old was al- C, ready a midshipmite. Promotion in Y those days was as slow as now, perhaps 0' a little slower. So although this young man fought through the war of 1812, he tb was still a midshipman. In 1818 or h thereabouts, when the original David wl Porter went down to the Souttiern wat ers of the United States to attend to the pirates who infested the small islands T and the mysterious inlets of the Gulf d and the Caribbean Sea, young Ingraham at was aboard his vessel, and saw pirates W hanged at the yard arm, and learned to Of be vigilant, quick, resolute and unflinch- U ing in the best school ever naval officer a had. Ingraham, risen to a commander, a served in the Mexican war, and a few m years after its close was sent to join the m squadron of the Mediterranean. He was er in command of the St. Louis, which is-of said to have been the pride of the Amer- le can navy and which was certainly a formidable ship for those days. It Was . a sloop of war armed with two 50-pound- IS rs. On June 22, 1853, lie sailed into C the harbor of Smyrna, in Asiatic Tur- la key. He found that he was just in the th ck o' time to take advantage of one of Go those chances for fame which conic to P1 very man, so it is said. In the revolution of Hungary against m Austria in 1848 49, which Louis Kossuth sk ed, Martin Koszta was a conspicuous in figure. When the revolution was put of own, Kossuth, Koszta and several oth- a ers fled to Turkey and stopped in Smnyr a. After long negotiations the Turk- o ish Government refused to give them up, l 'hen Kossuth and Koszta went to the re [nited States, *here Koszta decided to en ettle. He engaged in business in New u ork, and in July, 1852, declared under sh ath his intention of becomingz a citizen the United States. The next year, w aing business in Smyrna, Koszta w ent here and remained for some time undis- ha urbed, as indeed he minht have expect ed, since Smyrna was not on Austrian " soil. But Koszta had so inflamed the co Austrian Government against him that se plot was batched to capture him. On une 21, 1853, a band of Greek mercen- ce aries in Smyrna, hired by the Austrian Jc onsul, overpowered Koszta, hustled a him into a boat and took him aboard an to ustrian ship of war, the Huzzar, which as lying in the harbor. It is said that pa this ship was in command of no less a o erson than the Archduke Johr.. brother of the Emperor and admiral of the Aus- J ran navy. -a At any rate, Martin Koszta was put i in irons and otherwise treated as a crim nal and dangerous person. The next k ay, when all Srnyrna was talking about tl ins, a sloop of war, the st. Louis, Comn inander Ingraham, sailed into the lhar- w or. Capt. Ingraham heard the story A of the kidnapping, and the tact that the p0 kidnapped man was an American citi- a zen, from Koszta's friends. Capt In- ca rraam, who had been in a war in whichC the United States had taught Great C Britain a few lessons of respect for merican citizens, was up in arms at ne. lie went abroad the Iluzzar and as very courteously asked permission to) see c oszta. The Austrian commander. af ter some hesitation, aranted the request. bl ommander Ingraliam assuredl himself y that Keszta was entitled to the protec- to. tion of the American flag. He demand-- te ed his release of the Austrian comman- an en, and, when it was refused, 1:ent a s note to the nearest United States offi- n ia, Consul .srown, at Constantinople. hile lhe was awaiting an answer six Austrian war ships sailed into the liar- i Jr and took up positions near the Huz- of ar. On June 29, before any answer mtx hind come from Consul Brown. thec St. en Louis noticed unusual sIgns of activity sp n board the Hauzzar, and pretty soon wi she began to get under way. as Capt. Ingrahianm straightway lput the th: St. Louis in such a position that the po Iuzzar ::ould not pass, and cleared his sti decks for action. This Hiuzzar hove to. hix nd then Capt. Ingraham went aboard nd said to the Austrian commander, who received him with great courtesl: "What is the meaning of' this move n your part?" We propose to sail for home," replied the Austrian. "The consul has ordered tir us to take our prisoner to Austria." wI "You will pardon me," said Capt In- to graham very calmly. "But I hope you in vi not leave this harbor with the Am- fa] nican gentleman you have kidnapped. $ If you do I shall be compelled to resort to extreme measures." The Austrian looked around the lhar- cli bor at the line of friendly war ships and Cu then looked at the St. Louis, with her Ci ecks cleared, and then smiled pleasant- se< ly at Capt Ingraham and said that lhe of thought such remarks were extremely qu rash and that the Hiuzzar would do as M1 Capt I2graham bowed and betook him ,i to the St. Louis. Ile had no sooner )t aboard than he said: "Clear the guns for action!" And the Archduke had the pleasure r seeing the batteries of St. Louis turned ,on him. Ile realized that having the rong side of the matter, he had put mself in a very bad position. The ,uzzar was put about and sailed back her old anchoratze. The Archduke nt word to Capt Ingraham that he ould await the arrival of the note from .r. Brown. On the afternoon of July 1 Capt In .ahamn got his reply. The consul at onstantinople commended his course, id told him to do whatever he thought :st to prevent an outrage to an Ameri n. Late that evening Capt Ingraham nt an officer aboard the Huzzar with a te, The note formally demanded the lease of Mr. Koszta, and said that un ss the prisoner was delivered aboard .e St. Louis by 4 o'clock the next after yon CaDt Ingraham would take him )m the Austrians by force. The Arch ike sent back '. formal refusal. At 8 clock on the next morning, July 2, ipt Ingraham once more cleared his eks for action and trained his batteries that the Huzzar would get their full rce at the first dis -harge. The seven ustr ian war vessels cleared their decks td put their men at the guns. All this while great excltement had evailed in Smyrna, and when the cit ns saw these last hostile demonstra >ns they crowded the shores, eager to e this oneside battle, which all knew )uld not end so long as the American ge floated above water. At 10 o'clock the Austrian sent an icer to Capt Ingraham. This officer ed to temporize, but Capt Ingraham fused to listen to him. He said: "To 'old the worst, I will agree to let the in be delivered to the French consul Smyrna until your Government has a ance to act. But he must be delivered ere or I will take him. I cannot fail. y cause is just. I have stated the ue.) Again the Austrian sent a man to tpt Ingraham. But this time Capt graham refused to receive him. Then e Austrian consul general came out m Svmrna and tried his diplonmacy. tpt Ingraham simply rereated that the each consul must have Koszta by 4 -lock or there would be trouble. At 12 o'clock a boat left the side of a Iluzzar with Koszta on it, and one ur afterward the French consul sent )rd that Koszta was in his keeping. ter in the day several of the Austrian' ir vessels sailed out of the harbor, ien carne long negotiations between cretary of State William L. Marcy d the Austrian charge d'affaires at ashington, M. Hulsemann, at the end which Austria admitted that the ited States was right, apologized, d releasedall claim upon Mr. Koszta. Capt Ingraham got a gold medal and 7ote of thanks from Congress, a gold ,dal from the citizeas of New York, ,dals and other testimonials from sev i American citizens, and a present a fine chronometer and an engrossed ;ter from the workingmen of England, sed by penny subscription. As a sort of addition to this incident the story of how J. Clarcy Jones used >mmander Iagrahai's name in a simi episode in 1859. Mr. Jones was m minister to Austria. The Austrian >vernment was most anxious that no ins of the fortifications of Vienna be ide. A young American studying edicine in Vienna, was making some tches of these. fortifications one day an idle spirit and in utter ignorance the law against it. lie was arrested d locked up Mr Jones inquired into it and found t the truth, and explained it fully to a Austrian minister, at the same time inesting the release of the young Am can. The prime minister refused to ten, and said that the young man >uld and would be punished. When Mr. Jones saw that the Austrian s set he said: "~Then Ia regret very much that I shall ye to bid you farewell." "Are you going?" said the Austrian. am indeed sorry, and hope that your antry will be as ably agreeably repre ited by your successor." "I fear that there will not be a suc isor to me very soon," said Mr. nes. "I am comp~elled to demand audience with the Emperor. I wish get my passports." "What!" said the Austrian, "your ssports? You do not Intend to make this episode so serious a matter?" "It is a serious matter," said Mr. nes, "and reminds me of the Koszta se. Capt Ingraham is still cruising1 the Mediterranean, by the way, and I ill be able to put him in immediate owledge of this afifair also. I have Shonor to bid you farewell." Thie Austrian mininter did not know lat~to make of this. But he felt that nericans were not proper persons to nsh as examples, and, after delaying ly or two, released the young medi .student. With the outbreak of the civil war .pt Inagraham resigned, and in March,J ti1, entered -the Confederate service. :was thea 59 years old, and was signed first to the navy yard at Pe~nsa , and then to Chiarleston, where he tinguished himself by breaking the >ckade.

Wreck ofta Passenge Train Near Gatle burg, IM. GALESBURG, 111., Oct. 21.-The Chi cago, Burlington and Quincy fast pas senger train No 5, which left here at 10:30 o'clock last nght, met with ater rible accident twenty-five minutes later at the Pottery switch near Moniouth, sixteen miles west of here. The train was running at a high rate of speed. The facts show that the switch was partly open, and the lucomotive left the main track and started on the side track; some of the cars behind kept on the main track, and as the result the whole train of seven cars, except t:he sleeper, was derailed and turnen over on side, the cars being scattered around in great confusion. There was no tel escoping. There were on the engine Engineer A. A. Emery and Neils An derson, of this city, and George Court ney, a travelling engineer, who went out on the trip to see how the new loco motive worked. Anderson was blown from the cab by steam. Emery arid Courtney had no chance to escape and their bodies were found close to the lo comofive. The baggage and express men were thrown across their cars, but miraculously escaped injury. A young man named Frank S. Jounson of Avon, who with W. R. Hard, of Abingdon, was standing on the steps of the smox ing car attempted to jump off. He was thrown under the wheels and killed. If ardy jumped and escaped injury. The baggage car caught fire, but the flames ware promptly extinguished by Baggageman John Dore. Oscar Him merman was pitched through the win dow of the smoking car nnhurt. He hurried back to stop two incoming trains. The saddest casuality happened in the chair car, just back of the smoker. In one seat in the middle of the car sat Mr. George Allen, his wife and baby. She was next to the window, and as the ar tipped over her head was driven through the window and she was in stantly killed. The baby war hurled across the car, but, save a cut on its head, was uninjured. Allen received bruises. He found his baby first, then groped his way from the car for a lan tern and returning found his wife lead. The scene after the wreck is said to have been heartrending and panicky. The imprisoned passengers beat out the windows of the cars to effect their scape. A large force of surgeons and railroad otlictals went from here and Burlington. In addition to the four killed eighteen were injured, but the injuries of some were so slight that they left on the next train. Great sur prise is expressed that the list of the lead is not larger.

A Hardware Salesman Rescues a Pretty Girl from Drowning-Love at First Sight -Marriage at Midnight on Her Death Bed. NrEw YonK, Oct. 18.-Louis P. Rol lins,a Lardware salesman of 113 Colum bia IHeights at Brooklyn, has just fal len heir to $250,000 through a romantic marriage. His bride was taken away from huu by death ten hours after the marriage ceremony had been performed. Two years ago Mr. Rollins went to Charleston, Me., to spend his vacation. While out rowing in a lake one day he rescued a beautiful young girl, the. daughter of a wealthy Boston lumber dealer, William Narcross. Kate E. Narcross was 1, and the belle of the Summer resort. She lived with her widower father at the old Maine town during the summer months and at somerville, Mass., during thie winter. It was a ,ase of love at first sight be tween the salesman and Kate Narcross. When Mr. Rollins left Charleston he secured a promise from his sweetheart that she would be his bride. Mr. Rol lins went to Somervile at every oppor tunity, and the marriage was put off from time to time till Mr. Rollins could secure a permanent situation in New York which would not require him to travel. Two weeks ago Kate's father died, leaving the bulk of his fortune to his only child, who had nursed him tender-. ly through a long fit of sickness. The strain of attending to her father night and day was too great for the dutiful daughter. She was taken ill the day of her fanter's funeral and never left her room. Pneu'nonia set in and the phy sicians told Miss Narcross that she must die. "Send for Louis, we must wed before I die," was Miss Narcross' request. Mr. Rollins was on a long business trip through the west for . Chambers street hardware firm. He hastened to the bedside of his intended wife and arrived on the eve of the day before she died. At Miss Narcross' request the Rev. A. R. Winship was called in at mid night. The physicians did not believe Miss Narcross could iive till morning. "This is a very difierent marriage to what I had hoped for." was the dying woman's greeting to the clergyman. Between midnight and 1 o'clock of the next morning the ceremony was per formed. Immediately after the ser vices Miss Narcross had a notary sum moned and she made her will, the wit nesses being her husband, the clergy man and friends in the house. The newly made wife signed the document that gave nearly all of her property to her husband in a clear broad hand. She seemed to have gained new strength. by the marriage and the physicians thought they saw signs of a change for the better in Mrs. Rollins' condition. But it was too late, for a relapse fol lowed and the bride sank z.-a..Peace ful sleep from which she never a "Good-bye, Louis, my darling hus band," were ner last words. The heart broken husband followed his wife's re mains to the grave, and then returned to Chicago to settle up his business trip. He will return to Somervilleat-once and settle up his wife's estate. The Chrleston (Me.,) academy was alse re membered by hiiss Narcross. She had been a pupil of the academy. When a reporter called at Mr. Rollins's Brook lyn residence, he learned a rather pecu lar story about another girl. It was said without names being given, that Mr. Rollins had been engaged to an other Brooklyn girl for several years. It was said she was the daughter of a liroolyn clothier, and that an explana tion o1f the queer midnight marriage might be asked for on Mr. Rollin'sre-. turn to Brooklyn. When Mr. RofiS was in Brooklyn he was quite a favorten in a large circle of friends. He was an excellent conversationalist and of good address, and he made acquaintance uickly. He has been drawinlga salary >f 82,000, but may now go into busi ess for himself.

Washburne was re urning from his vacationt est man at the wedding of another member of the inter-Ocean staff. The tree men, with General Passenger gent Stone, were riding upon the lo ootive. Stone left them to go into he dining car, and a moment later the rain struck a misplaced switch, and he locomotive plunged through an en ine house.
