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

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. Cold ten has
the same effect, but neither la so sup

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

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

culture of one’s borne life. The table

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

as tbe black train rumbled across tbe
long bridge over the Hudson It was
between dense lines of people who
filled the footpath on either side.
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.

The
500 police
men were on duty at the City Hall.
At 6 o’clock two lines of policemen
were placed across the plaxa from tbe
City Hall entrance to tbe fountain.
These two Hues formed a passageway
through which four men might walk
abreast, sad along which all day visi
tors to (he remains should pass. A few
minutes’past 6 o’clock tbe gates were
opened and tbe crowd began to pass
in one continuous stream divided, oue-
half passing ou either side of the coffin.
The first persons to view the remains
were women. The crowd at this time
was not ovor 1,200 or 1,500 in number,
and no great baste was used in passing
tbe people along. Very many of tbe
earliest comers were working women
and men carrying lunehes, tools, etc. a
A bout 8 o’clock the appearance of the
throng indicated that clerks, book
keepers and merchants of early habits
were taking a lari view of the dead
General on their way to basinets. Bv
this time tbe crowd grew denser ana
they were urged along at a tutor pace
a few hours after. It was then to be
seen at. one, time that the speed at
which the visitors “ wen Baffled
through grew to be undignified and
ill befitting tbe character of the oeoO*
sion. Rapidly, however, as the people
were harried, the crowd st thestortuif
point increased to a throng.
At 11 o’eloek k took aa bow or more
for new comers to enter the building.
At that time 30,000 persons had passed
tbe casket.
As tbe morning wore on to midday
more women, yooag and old, appealed
in the line of visitors. Many carried
little hand baskets and some had bam
shopping, and tbelr discomfort was
increased by the care of their paresis
and packages. Observers ooneloded
