TAL=AeR sMEION, Dr. Talmage Shows That Good or Evil Done Returns to Llzsr or Blast Us. In this discourse Dr. Taizago s'owz that the good or evil 7e do rct'rrs to bless or blsq'; text, Isxiah , 22,1 is he that sitt:h upon the circle of the earth." While yet peoplc thCUght that the world was flat and thousands of years before they found cut that it was round, Isaiah, in my text, intimated the shre of it, God sitting u;on the cir-le cf the earth. The most beautiful igure in SiL Geometry is the circle. God made the universe cn the plan cf a c*rc-e. There are in the 'ou r straight lines, sn els, r r o diagonals, quadre , bucst o e deuly Ie tG. most eve'yia>rc e gecm:tr:zng you f :-- . t c nant, a ifnt c curve, which is t c r e t sL dC yourg. it had Ci as e would hav Le ior, a cer .

I -q 1-e ^L that the Gint's Cau . world's molding ro-, bu: 1 a! of a great many figures Gd t, have selected the e.rc e astIc best. "[ is he thaz sitt'h on ih 'els o' earth." The stars in a e'rlo, he =nn ins eirele the iuo in s c"10Io, unU verse in a cirele and the throne of G the center of that erete. Appreciation cf this wCuld ercoc the architecture oL curc cs who shape is often a defirce ct divine su gestion. When mon batid chu he they ought to imitate tLhe idca ofl te Great Architect a:.d ptit the -u ::ne in a circle, knowing tbat the tides of emotion roll more easiiy that way than in straight lies. Six thou~znd years ago God fiang this world out of his r:gat hand, but he did not throw it out in a straight line, but curvilinear, with a leash of love holding it so as to bri g it back again. The world started fro= his haid pure and Edenic. It has beEn rolling on through regior s of moral :ae and distemper. How long it will roll God only knows, but it will in due time make complete circuit and come back to the place where i: started, the hand of God, pure and Edenic. The history of the world goes in a circle. Why is it that the shipping in our day is improving so rapidly? A scientifie shipbuilder says it is because men are imitating in som respects what the small wits deride, the old model of Noah's ark, not as we see it in old time pictures, but as it really was according to the account given. Great ships have we now, but where is the ship on the sea today that could out ride a deluge in which the heaven and the earth were wrecked, landing all the passengers in safety-two of each asnd of living creatures, hundreds of thous ands of pieces. Pomology will go on with its achieve ments until aiter many centuries the-~ world will have plums and pears equal t~o the paradisaical. The art o-f gardien ing wiii grow for centuries, art. af~cr the Downings atd Mitchells of the world have done their best in the far future the art of gardening will come up to the arboresence of the year 1. 1: the makers cf colored glass go on i proving, they may in some cent.uries be able to make something equal to tne east window of York mirnt~er, whici was built in the year 1290. We are six centuries behind those artists. bu: the world mutt keep on toiling u::tii it shall make the completre ciromt arnd come up to the skill of those very men. If the world continues to improve in masonry, we shall have after awhile, perhaps after the advance of centuries, mortar equal to that whieh I sawin the wall cf an exhamed English .eit y built in the time of the Rmans, 1,6o0 years ago. that mortar oda~y as good as the day in which it was made,.having out lasted the brick anid stone. I say af ter hundreds of years masonry may advance to that point. If the world stands long erougi, tyc may have a city as large as they nAd in old times-Babylon, five times th -ze of London. You go in~o the pme~.rat of England, and y ou fiAd them ma- m cups and vases star the st .e ofth cups and vases exhum~e~i frm cos.:i. The worid is not g-a iL'e O ) no! But it is swingir-;i a ec.le a U will come around to :.be stj.ao p tery known so long as~o na uo ?a-y of Pompeii. Thie worud mus: keep en *pregresneg until it makehstt teempi?e e circuit.

But sometimes it is a wider circle and dos not return for a great while. I saw a bill of expen.ses for burning Latimer ard Ridley. The bill of expenses has these items among others: Shillings. Pence. One lead of fL:e fagots......8 4 osttage for four loads wood. .2 - Item, a post...........1 4 Iem, two chains...........3 4 Item, two staples .......- 6 Item, four laborers........ 2 8 making in all 253. 8i. That wag cheap fire, censidcring all the circumstances, but it kindlea a light which bhone all around tLe world and aroused the mar tyr spiit, and out from that burnivg of Latimer mnd Ridley railed the circle wider and wider, starting othcr circles, convoluting, overrunning, circumscrib icr, overarching, all heaven, a circle. But what is true of the good is just s trun of the badi. You utter a slander against your neighbor. It has gone vrcth irotm your teeth. It will never come baek, you thick. You have done the man all the mischief you oso. You rj c3 to see hiim wine. You say, Ddn't I aive it to him!" That word has gone ocut-that slanderous word en its poi-onous and biated way?. You think it wi never do you any har-n. Bdt I sam wateting that word, and I see it beginning to carve, and it curves arouod, ar d it is aiming at your hemr. Yeu had better dodge it. IL rolls inito y.ur borom, ar d after it rlls in a word ofan old book rolls in after it, saying, "With who~ mes-ure ye mete it shall be measured to you agai." You maitreat an aged pa.rent. You bu r.dge him the room in your hcouss. You are impatient of his whimsicalities nd gurrlity. It makes you mad to har him teii the same story twice. You ~ive him icd he cannot inafticate. You wish he was away. You wonder if Le is goir g to live forever. Hs will be gone very soon. His steps are shrti and ehrar. He is going to sop.

Mr. Rayncr referred at length to the mseting of Commodore Schley with *pt. Sgsbee then in command of the St. Paul, imon the arrival of the flying sqnadron Qff Santiago. Speaking of the captain, ho said: "A more horest wit ness than he never took the witness stand, nor is there a more gallant and cfioient cficer in the navy than he is. Unfortunately he has gotten I:imself into a predicament because against him is an overwhelming array of tetimony in Yeferer c- to the eomu unica;ioos he held with Co rmod(r3 Soley (f San tiao and which absolutely justfy the admiral takirg the course he did."

Wise's heolate failure to communieae, Capt. Cotton's failure to communicate, be cuse the dispatches he received could never ;ave been delv'red to Commo dore Scbley at that time, as they were dated f.erward, Capt. Sig.bee's posi tive assurances, the palting of the Cu ban pilot on board, every thing, may it please the court, convered doubt to the mind cf Commodore Schley. "I want coal," was his cry. 'I have got to get coal. I cannot coal here. I have broken down c lliier.' My brother here has interlaced that dispatch and torn it word for word. But there is not a fasehoed on the face of it. Commo dore Scbley was perfeetly right in say ing that he had a wcrthless collier, be cause for 24 hours, according to the tetimony of Capt. Miller, she was ab olutely helpless. With a broken domn collier: with only a eufficient amount of coal en hand to get half way to Marti nique; with the positive assurance of Capt Sigsbee, sustained and corrobo rated by the Cuban pilot that the fleet was not in Santisge, he did the only thing he could do and that was to turn to the west for coal. But he never went in that direction a mile further than was necessary?, for when the weath er cleare-d and the sea became smooth he coaled. Then he returned to his psition coff Santiago, discovered the Critobal Cole:., gave battle on July 3d and struck down .the Spanish fleet, at the same time taking from Spain her saelent poseessions uron the face of t e American continent." Mr. Raynor then closed s fs llowa: "I have now briefiy presented this c'se s it appears to me in its gerneral cutlice. Such a trial as this has nev1.r to my knowledge taken plane in the histry of the world. It seemed to my mind~ that this case had hardly opened i h te te:-imony of Capt. Higginson bd fr3 it commenced to totter, and from day to day its visionary fabric dissolved frcm view. When Capt. Cook, their last witness, was put upon the stand the entire structure collapsed and now when the witness from our own ships and the greliant captain and crew of the of the Oregon and Admiral Sehley have narrated their unvaranished tale, the whole tenemrnt. with all its compart ments, from its fjunt'ation to its turret, has disintegrated and lies here like a mais ci blacken'ed ruirns. ''It has taken three years to reveal tha truth. T here is not a single wit ness, friend or foe, that cast5 the shad ow of a rdfection upon the honored Iname of tha ner y of Statiago. He has never claimed the glory of that day. No wcri to t~s effect ha~ ever gone forth from his to the American poople.

'Well done, congratulate you on the victory,' was the streamer that was bent from the halyard cf the Brookyn, and from that day to this no man has ever heard from Admiral Sch ley the slightest whisper or intimation that he hast usurped the glory of that imperishable hour. The thunders of th Brocklyn as she trembled on the waves have been discordant music to the ears of the envious foes, but they have pie-rced with a ringing melody the' cars of his countrymen and sarnok a re sponsive chord at the fireside of every American horme. And what is more than all which has been revealed in this ese, as matchless as is his courage and a d ss unsullied as is his honor, is his beu:iful character and the generous sprit that animates his soul, and the forgiving heart that beats within his bom. Yes, we cannot atriko him down. Erect he stands as the Me~reg or when his step was on his nasive beater and his eye was on the peak of Bn Lomnond.

The white peolie of the South have the right to prcte-t. They have the right to protest without bringing upon themselves the charge of malevolence and provincialism for narrow-minied setional bigots and meresnery pari sans, to say nothing about the super tilious patronage ot those euptrior be ings, who, liks Theodore Roosevelt, pique themselv3a upon their fancied ;iberAlizm and enlighatenmen;. L is fall time that the Republicaa party should remember that nearly thirty seven years have passed since a hostile gun was fired in that fraternal war for which one side was as primarily re sponsible as the other sde, that a gen eration of Southern men has been born and has reached middle life since then, that whatever dent the South may have owed for its defeat in battle it has payed through the pension tax four times over accord ing o th~e most exact ing standards of indemnity cf modern times, and tbat, if the Republican party wants to go back to the bloody shirt for a shibboleth, the negro for an issue -as the Preuidenb would indicate that it does and as a tolerabiy uti ed press in his support would indicate-we are ready to meat them, ior, let it be re membered, let it be never forgotten, that we have made no progress to wara pacification and unifiestion these thir ty years-down to the administration of William MCKinley, God bless him, where he has gone 1-which has not been wrueg from the Republican leaders by the outraged public sentiment of the good people of the North. -If the Re publican leaders had hadi their way, the South would still be in irons, shoed:r straps would be domiinating out ima I est afiairs, negro offiiass would b= lor i ing it over cur homes and fir~ aides, and instead of the free eneign of the republic, the glorious Stars and Stripes, the bloody ahtrt would be waving dam nation from every fihgs:aff.

The Democratic parry needs not so much the selection of a popular candi date as a well considered and consistent set of principles, which will commend the crganization to the favor of the ocuatr-y. The party has heretofore had discouraging experience in selecting "popular men.'' Hancook was a popU lar leader. Bryan was an immenseir populr man, but he led the party to defeat and disorganis ation. Sshley is very popular in the South, but the sentiment in his favor is greatly modi fed in the North.

MUCH-NAMED FEBRUARY 2 Otherwise Known Throughout the Country as Ground Ho: Day. February 2 is a much named day. It is Candlemas Day, Purification of the Virgin Mary, Presentation of Christ in the Temple and colloquially in England the Wives' Feast, but the name that is possibly most familiar to us is Groundhog Day. The celebra tion of Candlemas is observed in the Angelican, Roman, Greek and Luth eran churches, its principal feature be ing the distribution of candles and a procession of lighted ones. It is more than probable that it is from this cus tom that the name Candlemas Day originated. Some authorities claim that the institution of the feast ante dated the manner of celebrating it, claiming that this festival was first observed in 542, during the reign of Justinan, whereas the first procession of lighted candles did not occur until the seventh century. Anotherauthority while giving te honor of originating the celebration of the d-y to Justinian, says Pope Gelasius, in the latter port of the fifth century, had the first procession of lighted candles. The ceremonies of Candlemas Day in England have been very mtch modi: fied since the time of the Reformation. An order of Council, passed in the second year of the reign of EdwardVI., abolished the candle carrying in that country. At Rome, however, quite late in our century, the candles were blessed and distributed with much pomp and ceremony, accompanied by I a great procession of ecclesiastics. I Unlike the majority. of weather prog nostications taken, as Is a usual custom, from these set days, Candle mas weather signs go by contraries. Fine weath'er betokens a continuance of winter and cold days, while an in clement day Is a sure promise of an early spring and bright summer. Our well-known name, particularly ambng our rural and foreign population of Groundhog Day for the second of Feb ruary, comes from an old proverb the early Germans brought to America from their Fatherland, that "the badger peeps out of his. hole on Candle mas Day, and when he finds snow shining he draws back into his hole." East of the Mississippi the badger is scarce and little known, so the farmers transferred the mantle to the wood chuck, or ground-hog. EFets Coneerning Copra. Copra, which is one of the chief pro ducts of the Philippine islands, is the dried meat of the cocoanut. The in dustry, while comparatively young, presents some unique features, and the production of it is the outgrowth of attempts made a few years ago to find 1some convenient method of exporting the surplus quantity of cocoanut oil produced in the islands. The earthen jars In which the oil arrived at Manilila were too easily broken to be trans ported with any degree of safety. The only available alternative was a crude form of barrel made in China for the purpose, but these leaked so profusely that they gave very poor results. These difficulties led to a search for a more convenient form in which to ex port the 'product. It was for the pur pose of supplying this need that M. Eduard Vidal taught the natives how to prepare the cocoanut in a dry form such as is known on the market as copra, basing his process upon some ex periments which 'he. together with some planters In the province of Misamis had carried on with consider able success in the year 1882. IThe method of preparing the copra is a comparatively simple one. When the nut is perfectly ripe it is cut into halves and placed in the sun without further preparation. In a few hours the meat of the nut Is contracted by the effect of the heat and becomes de tached from the shell. The morsels of nut kernel are then collected and exposed to the sun for several days, so that all the water which they con tain may be evaporated, care being ex ercised to guard against moisture and dew, which would soften the material. When the substance becomes brittle, It is considered ready for the market. In ordinary times it is claimed that a thousand cocoanuts will give, in the province of Visayas, about 600 to 700 pounds of copra, but actual experi ence hardly bears out these claims, the average being from 420. to 490 pounds per 1,000 cocoanuts. The copra industry during its comparatively short history of fourteen years in the Philippines has attained considerable dimensions. He Needs a Bracer. "Old man, I'm a gener.

This Is Friday, the 13th of January, and I'm a marked man. I wanted to go over to Brooklyn, and, like an idiot, took a 'Greene avenue line' car. "Now, there are just thirteen let ters in the name of that line. I got on the car and was the thirteenth passen ger. There were thirteen advertise ments and thirteen straps on each side of that car. The name of the maker of the car had thirteen letters in it. The conductor's uniform had thirteen buttons on it and there were thirteen divisions on the face of the fare regis. ter.

Crawford, of the Fis iaura sergeant ard five men, hl attempting to oress the Ba MV| 'A NEW SWINDI.. M Or Rather, a New Form of an Old One. The New York postoffice officials have detected a new form of "green goods" swindling, and have in custody James McAndrews, who says that he lives at Bayonne, N. J. McAndrews received his letters at the Jersey City Postoffice, where he was arrested, and was ar raigned before United States Commis sioner Linsly Rowe and held in $2,500 bail. He deposited the cash and was released. Inspector Snow, who made the arrest, stated that McAndrews had posed as a dealer-in jewelry, and had circulated in the South and West thou sands of his circulars and done a large business. The first circular, which is headed in bold type, "Barrels of Mon ey," urges the recipients to be wide awake, and if they want a few barrels of money not to hesitate to accept the offer at once. This innocent looking circular begins with this paragraph: "We have a lot of imitation jewelry which you can dispose of. very easily, The price, $1, is in each corner of the long green printed card each piece is put upon. These goods are gotten up so well that no one except an expert can tell the difference between them and the genuine. They are a perfect Imitation of the real goods. After a while we will have some for sale, the selling price printed, $2, $5 and $10. "We will send you 1,000 for $4 cash with order. We will send 6,000 for. $150 cash with order. We will send 12,000 for $250 cash with order. We will send 25, 000 for $500 cash with order. The address given Is No 34 Mercer street. There is no such number in Mer cer street, and IcAndrews rented a postoffice box, at which he received his mail. The second circular is carefully worded, but hints at the "green goods" feature of the transaction. This Invit ting bait naturally would hook the vic tim, as it meant a piece of jewelry, s. cheap brass pin on a white card, with "Price $1" printed on a corner of the card. To this McAndrews pinned .a crisp new $1 Treasury note and a cir cular that directly touched on the "green goods." It Is cunningly pre pared, and refers to the new Treasury bill as "a fine Imitation of the real-arti cle." It is this circular which opens the negotiation for the alleged "green goods," and when the victim sends a 'large sum of money he gets in return. nothing or a case of the worthless Jew elry, instead of a box of sawdust. A Novel Business. Peter A. Watson ("Wolf" Watsonjr, of Omaha, Neb., draws a salary from the Nebraska Live Stock Association -to ray him for putting in his entire time I>.illing wolves. He has reduced the wolf census of the State so that he can kill but 200 a year now. When he began he killed 500 a year. Watson's fa- her, a famous hunter, -who shot buf falo with Buffalo Bill, on a contract to supply the Union Pacific Railroad builders witb meat, was killed In a wolf chase. The son is now fifty-ftve, as straight os an Indian and a famous rider. He goes from point to point where coni plaint Is made of wolves' depredations, iding a superb horse and accompaided by six of his fine staghounds. Dogs and horses run down the wolves in the~:open prairies. Then the training shows. A wo'f could kill one of Watson's dogs, but the six show teari work, 'and so divide the animal's attention'that they are seldom Injured. Upon his huntingS trip.s Watson carries only a revolver, sr.d seldom needs to use even . that. When he needs it, he needs it badly, for. though a wolf will never attack a man - so long as he might run, a hard-presse'd wolf sometimes sell his life dearly. Cnce a big gray wolf jumped at Wat son, clawing the flank of his horse and the rider's right leg and hand. Watson reached over with his left hand, drew his pistol, and fired fpur shots at the wolf, but didn't harm the brute much, as his horse danced about so as to spo'3 hiii ain. Watson had but one shot left. JUe put his pistol In the wolf's monts, and, at the risk of blowing off his own fngers, fired. That shot finished thcr c nmmal, after which the bleeding man e nd horse had ten weary miles to trav el to the nearest town. But weak as they were from loss of blood, they toCk the wolf with them. New Swindling Scheme. A street beggar, with a new schemx% held the sidewalk in Thirty-fourth street, withIn 100 yards of . Henry other day. He seemed to be. doing a thriving business,, as he. had a group about him. Since he sat on the. flag ging and could not be seen over the heads of his watchers, the cause of the gathering could not be understood without a little Investigation. This fact drew nyany a passer toward him. The first thing discovered was an-nn kempt little old man, whose expressio3 hinted that he was a bit weak of intel lect, or to put It In the words of one 'Idler, that he "had rats In his garret." His business Instincts were sound, how ever. Laid first before him was a pla card stating that he fell asleep im Madison Square, and that his pocket book containing $30 was stolen. Edety he had received a portion. of it, for spread out on the placard were a few pennies, with an occasional nickel and dime. With chalk the b gar kept what pur'ported to be a ec oning of his gains. A penny dropped. at his feet, and was quickiy added to his array, with suitable change in his. figures.
