I’ity- t, and interested or took tier into man to amuse them. He is sensation and so is Beecher, but they do not con flict Beecher’s sensationalism con sists in presenting startling fact* about education, or religion, or politics. Talmage's sensationalism cousists in a monkev-show, girating on the plat form like a clown, and by raking up old and disputed topics (or discussion, and in reopening old sores. The cornetist who loads the singing helps to attract the crowd, and Talmage knows the chords of the human heart, for he plays on them unceasingly. He does not seek to educate in religious matters. He selects a text, and around that he weaves a garland of words, and here and there he intersperses old anec dotes and stories that sometime cause a smile or a tear. Beecher docs none of this. He is above it, and there are some tilings that he will not plunge boldly into. Talmage will undertake anything for notoriety. Ho would write a Bible if he were asked to. Both Beecher and Talmage have had their tussles with Bob iugersoll, but haven’t you noticed that Beecher has not had much to say against Royal Bob lately? Talmage, however, seldom misses a chance to hit the great orator. His blow is a blow of a sandbag, though. He doesn't sharpen adelicata stiletto and stick it into his opponent’s heart as Beecher does. Talmage ex hausts himself at one swoop and then Ingersoll jumps on him, and if one mau ever gave another a drubbing on the platform Inger<oll certainly did Tai ra age. A few years ago Iugersoll wrote a paper on “The Christian Religion” that was published in the Sorlh Amer- can lie view. It was a very able article and attracted great attention. It was nothing more than tho old views that Ingersoll bad so olleu expressed in public, but each sentence was effective, and having been published ;u so pruiu- iU' Ut a iiiuguiiUo they were given more weight than they really descivod. Thorndyke Rice, editor of the Re view. had engaged Judge Jere Black, of Pennsylvania, to reply to the article. Black hud given the subject much thought and study. Ho was the ablest constitutional lawyer iu the country. He was a splendid speaker, a mau of rare attainiucuts, a clear logician, he was just the man to reply to Iugersoll, and to smash into atoms tiie indict ment that Iugersoll hud drawn up. The church people seemed eonlideut. They believed their kuight would slay the mlidel. Well, the article was published, and caudor compels the admission it w as a lamentable tailure. Black seemed to have lost his grip but ho severely denounced Ingersoll as a charlatan, and in a general way scoffed at his unbelief. To this Ingersoll replied, and Black admitted that for once be had been worsted. The great infidel didn’t spare his man. He took off hair and hide at the same time, and left his vic tim without a word to say. It was at this juncture that Beecher cumu to the front, and this will establish the point that 1 have made, that there are aome contracts too big for him to enter into. Kditor Rice called on Beecher. “Have you read the discussion be tween L’ol. Iugersoll and Judge Black?” he asked him. “Yes, very carefully," was Beecher’s reply. “W hich do you think has tho best of it?” “Iugersoll, decidedly.” “But the argument is not finished, Mr. Beecher, and 1 came to ask you to lake up the case against Ingersoll and refute his statements." “1 should like to very much.” “Then why not do it? I will give you $5,000 for a paper on ‘The Chris tian Religion’ that will dispose of the atheistic question at once and for ever. “Yes, I guess you would,” concluded Beecher, “but I won’t undertake it. I can’t del it. No man can do it It is an impossibility. We may believe that Ingersoll is wron£, but we can’t give positive proof of it.” That was manly anyhow.—New York Cor. in Providence Telegram. I ^ A Doctor's Hint to Worktng-Men. When you have heavy work to do, do not take either beer, cider, or spirits. By far the best drink is thin oat meal and water, with a little sugar. The proportions are a quarter of a pound of oat meal to two or three quarts of water, according to the heat of the day and your work and thirst; it should be well boiled, and then an ounce or aa ounce and a half of brown sugar added. If you find it thicker than you like, add thi iree quarts of wa- you ter. Before jyou drink it,’shake np the oatmeal well through the liquid. In summer drink this cold; in winter hot You will find it not only quenches thirst, but will give you more strength and.enduranbe than any other drink. if you cannot boil it, you can take a little oatmeal mixed with oold water oatmeal and sugar, but this is not so good; al ways boil it if you can. If st any time vou have to mako a very long day, as in harvest, and cannot stop for meals, increase the oatmeal to half a pound, or oven three-quarters, and the water to three quarts If you are likely to bo very thirsty. For quenching thirst, few things are better than weak coffee and a little sugar. One ounce of coflbe and half an oonoe of sugar boiled in two quarts of water and cooled is a very tnirst-quenchfng drink.

As the boys say, ••Talmage is a corker.” He draws a much larger crowd than Beecher, bat it is a different crowd. It is the crowd without brains, the crowd that likes to be amnsed and finds Talmage a cheap ini We have received the following in teresting narrative from a correspon dent in Greenock, who thu4 writes: “A remarkable case of life-saving by a dog occurred last summer in Greenock, in a timber pond attached to a saw mill. Thu strip of land upon which the sawmill is built presents a frontage of about fifty yards to the public street, and extends fully two hundred yards towards the Clyde. Two-third* of the ground is wet ground—that is, ground entirely covered by water when tho tide is in. Three sidu* of tins portion are inclosed by a stout puling, through which inclosure the tide ebbs and flows. Tho fourth side is formed by a perpen dicular embankment of four feet deep, which also forms the termination of the dry ground. The inclosure, or "pond’’ as it is called, is used for stor ing timber afloat. At high water, the floating timber and dry ground are nearly level And as at the time of the following incident tho pond was closely packed with timber, there >ecrucd at nigh water to be little apparent differ ence between dry ground and wet ground. “For several days two dogs of the bull-terrier kind, whoso owners were at work in one or other of the adjoin ing ship-yards, were enjoying them selves in their masters absence by ebasiug each other in play, rushing impetuously hither and thither, some times along the street, occasionally making a dart into the yard round about the sawmill, and as suddenly disappearing again—out into the street and up one of the many closes at hand. One of these charges led to a rather sudden and somewhat disastrous termi nation. It was high water. In at the gate of the sawmill premises rushed the two dogs, the one close at the heels of the other, across the yard and on to the floating timber. One of them was soon made aware of the instability of its footing by its slipping into the water between the logs which were floating a few inches apart. The two logs between Which the dog fell were floating on their corners, and therefore formed a slope on each side like the letter V, which caused the dog to slip back into the water at every ef fort to scramble ou to tho top side of its temporary prison wall. Its more fortunate companion retreated to dry ground; but ou seeing tbe struggles of its friend, it at onoe returned, and, by intelligent gesture, invited it to terra tirma. The efforts of tbe uufortunate dog were of no avail, still it perse vered, during which time the other had twice returned from dry laud. On making the third visit it seemed to grasp tbe situation, for with its teeth it at once caught its submerged com panion by the back of the Deck and as sisted so effectually as to enable it to scramble out of tbe water and join in another romp, but not withiu sawmill premises. They were never afterward sceu within the gate, confining their fun to tho streets ou all sub.-.cqucut oc casion*. “It may be of interest to uotu that it was a male dog which fell iuto the water, the other, its rescuer, was of the gentler sex."—Chamber*' Journal. Home Conv-rsatlon. Nothing in the homo life needs to be more carefully watched and more dill gently cultivated than the conversa tion. It should bo imbued with the spirit of love. No hitler word should be spoken. The language of husband and wife, in their intercourse together, should always be tender. Anger in word or even in tone should never be suffered. The warmth and tenderness of their heart should flow out iu every word that they speak to each other. As parents, too, in tbe intercourse with the children, they should never speak save in words of Christ-like gentleness. It is a fatal mistake to suppose that children's lives can grow up into beau ty in an atmosphere of strife. Harsh angry words are to their sensitive souls what frost are to flowers. To briug them up iu the nurture of the Lord is to bnug them up as Christ himself would, and surely that would be with infioite tenderness. The blessed influence of loving speech day after day and month after month, it is impossible to estimate. It is like tbe falling of warm spring snnsbino and rain on the garden. Beauty and sweet ness of character are likely to come from such a home. But home couversaliou needs more than love to give it its full influence. It ought to be enriched by thought ■ V Tbe Saviour’s warning against idle words rhould Iks remembered. Every wUe-hcariod parent will seek to train his household to converse ou subjects that will yield instruction or tend to ward refinement. The table affords an excellent opportunity for this kind of education. Three times each day the family gathers there. It is a place of cheerfuluoss. Simply on hygienic grounds meals should n^t be eaten in silence. Bright choeifiM’ conversation is an excellent sauce and a prime aid to digestion, if it prolongs tbe meal and thus appears to take too much time out of the busy day, it will add to tbe years iu the end by increased bealtbfulness and lengthened life. In any case, however, something is dne to fiai refinement, and still more is due to tbe culture of one’s borne life. The table should bo made the ceuter of tbe social Hie of the household. There all should appear at their best Gloom should be banished, couversation shonld be bright and sparkling. It shonld con* •1st of something besides doll, thread bare commonplaces. The idle gossip of the street is not a worthy theme for such hallowed movements. GBAirra rumnux. nuw. i all narrow-gauge The Journey teem If swat Altaar-TlM Faaeval Barvtosa Haaon Atoas tlta Baals. The train bearing the remains General Grant left Mount McGre on tbe morning of tbe 4th inst. ' area around tbe cottage where lay remains was thronged with including a number of distlugu: persons, civic amt military, who had just come up on tbe railroad. At 10 o’clock tbe fbueral services at the cottage were held in tbe presence of over a thousand persons. Cane chairs and rustic settees were provided for the ladies under the trees in the grove before tbe cottage. The ceremonies opened with the reading of Psalm 90, which was fol lowed bv an impressive prayer by Bishop Harris. The hymn, “My faith looks up to Thee,” was joined in by the whole assemblage present, with fine effect. Dr. Newman then-carae forward and delivered a sermon on the subject of tbe dead General, tbe family in the meantime sitting about the remains in the parlor. Dr. Newman’s text was. “Well done, thou good and faithful servant, enter thou into the joy of thy Ijord”—Matthew xxv., 21. The ser mon was a ftiisome eulogy of Grant without discretion and without any remarkable religions bearing. At tbe conclusion of the discourse tbe hymn “Nearer, my God, to Thee” was rendered very impressively by the congregation, and the services ended with tbe benediction. After the services there was a gener al movement of people toward the cottage to get a final look at the corpse, but it was hot deemed advisable to admit any one, in view of the fact that it was near the time for the funeral train to start. Generals Sherman and Hancock and Senator Evarts left the balcony together. U. 8. Grant Post, No. 327, of Brooklyn, bore tbe remains from the cottage to the station shortly before 1 o’clock. The military were drawn np and a salnte was paid to the remains as they passed the depot, and the throng stood with uncovered heads while the casket was borne to tbe car. Tbe mountain train waited at the little rustic depot. There were seven cars. Next to the engine the funeral car, with open sides and a solid mass of black drapery, was waiting for Its bnrden. Next in the train was the car “Eastern Lookout,” being the same in which tbe General went np the mountain. The transter from tbe cottage to the train was accomplished without difficulty. The train left Mount McGregor sta tion at one o’clock^ and proceeded down tbe mountain, impelled for some distance by its own momentum, and held in check by the air-brakes. Tbe plain was reached iu safety, and the train sped on its way as fast as the engine would carry it. All along the route tbe stations were thronged with people who watched its passage in silence and with uncovered beads. At Saratoga the train straightened away parallel with tbe track of tbe Delaware and Hudson, on tbe track of which, just north of the McGregor depot, tbe funeral train of the New York Central Railroad was waiting, while thousands of persons were be ing held back by the military. The mountain train drew alongside of the other train and stopped. There were nine cars in tbe New York Cen tral train. The remains were lifted in silence by the guard of honor to tbe funeral car “Woodlawn,” which was draped with bombasine and hung with flags. The Brooklyn guard of honor and siz men of the Lora; Leftoa, with a detachment of regulars, entered the deadcar, also two men of Wheeler Post, G. A. K. Soon after two o’clock the train moved off. Tbe funeral train reached Albany at 3.40 p. m. The crowd was dense about the railroad depot when it ar rived. The remains having been de posited on a ftmeral car, it was drawn into Spencer street, where it was flanked by two oompanics of United States artillery. Tbe Grand Array men guarded tbe remains and posts of honor, and four meu were mounted at each corner of the catafklquo. General Hancock and staff filed ont into Spen cer street, where the General mounted a powerful black horse splendidly caparisoned. There were 4,311 men in procession. Many companies out side of Albany and its vicinity were present. j,- The column moved to tbe Capitol, and the remains were depositea be neath the great catafalque in the Sen ate corridor. Tbe bodv had been pre viously examined by the undertakers and found to be in excellent condition. Tbe public were admitted about five o’clock, being permitted to walk two abreast on each side of tbe casket, which lav on an Inclined dais. Seven thousand four hundred persons viewed tho remains the first hoar. Tbe guard of honor consisted of distinguished member* oi tbe Grand Army of tbe Republic. li is estimated that over 71,000 peo ple viewed the remains at Albany. FBOM ALBANY TO NIW YOBX.

Across tbe river there were crowds of people. Shops and stores and fhotories had closed their doors to bastuess. At every station crowds were assem bled and stood with uncovered heads as the train passed. At all of tbe principal stations guns were fired as tho train passed, and at the garrisons opposite West Poiut the entire body of West Point cadets, in uniform, wttn all the officers of the Academy, were drawn up facing the railroad at “pre sent army while from the opposite side of the river tbe flash and boom of heavy guns were repeated every five seconds. No stops were made. The train reached the Grand Central Depot, New York, at 5, p. m. The arrangements for the reception were perfect. The coffin was borne out of tbe car, and everything was soon in readiness for tlie inarch to tbe City Hall. All along tho line of march the people showed their profound respect. The body was first taxen into a private room, to be prepared for being viewed by the public. It was now quite dark. Mayor Groce, accompanied by two ladies, viewed tbe body before die pub lic were admitted. He thought that the body was remarkably well pre served and that the feature* of the dead soldier looked quite natural. Dr. G. W. Brush and Deputy Coroner Jenkins, who viewed the body official ly, stated that it was in an excellent state of preservation and that there ap peared to be no tendency to decompo sition. It was a few minutes after 9 o’clock when the cofflu, with the lid removed, was again placed ou the catafalque and the iron gates were swung open and the public allowed to enter. Thirty-four thousand persons viewed the remains of General Grant on Wed nesday night. It was authoritatively announced ou Wedueeday that Mrs. Grant Would not attend the funeral.
