TWO RACMS ANG AGE IN A CON WST
OF CRUELTY.
Twin Specimens of Barbarity--Lives
Lost and Eotates Destroyed.--Special
casualides.
During the first week in October
a fearful insurrection of the blacks
broke out in St. Croix, a small island
in the West Indies. The laborers
bec.-me discontented with the labor
law and all the troops having been
removed from the o A end, an out..
break was the consequence. The
riot lasted only a few days, but
during that time over fifty estates
were desolated. Troops restored
order, and a number o' the ringlead
era were tried, confessed their
crimes, and were execnted. The
women were the most violent, but
they will not be executed, as the
laws of Denmark forbid the capital
punishment of women.
SCENES OF 1O.non.
A correspandent visiting the
scene of the disturbance draws a
sickening picture of the desperate
conflict that raged for sever,il days,
and the brutality of the contending
parties. He says:
On my way through the country
I stopped at Grove placo, there to
witness the remains of one of the
most horrible acts of cruelty and
barbarism ever known. On the
second night the mob arrived at th s
estate and found about nineteen oi
the estate laborera. The latter at
tempted to save some things and
refused to join the rioters They
were then Phut up in an enclosure
used for storing the inegras, upon
which kerosene oil was poured, and
the whole was act on fire. Three
or four escaped and now lie horribly
maimed in tue hospital. The charred
bones of tLe remainder are silenL
witnf see i of the truth of the story
This act of cruelty toward their
own people showp whatlittle chance
there was for any who opposed them
after their passions had been fully
aroused.
CRUELTY OF TE WHITES,
The conduct of some of the white
people toward the negroes would
seem to indicate that human nature
is much the same whatever the color
of the skin, and that when once the
worse passions are aroused all the
effects of our boasted civilization
have given us no advantage over
the savage. On my way to West
End I met several bands of prison
ers on their way to town under the
escort of soldiers or volunteers,
The negroes were tied to carts, and
though some of them were in the
last stages of exhausfion they were
dragged along without the slightest
consideration for their condition.
Some were bleeding from severe
cuts inflicted by volunteers who, in,
their search for fugitives, have act
ed in many cases like fiends, B3lows
with their cutlasses and pistol shots
were rathlessly and uselessly in-.
%licted on the defenseless prisoners
as they marched along8.0 ne case
of cruelty is reported which, but for
its beirg well authentieated, would
be impossible to believe. It is to be
ofileially investigated, and so I wvith.
hold for the present the name of the
guilty party. A manager on one of
the estates was helped by one of the
niegro overseers for two days, the
slpgro assisting in saving many
things. The third night, when
ings were comparatively quiet, he
went off, and on -reappearing the
next morning was taken to task by
the manager for his absence. He

A torrent of abuse and the ques
tion, "Why should I not put an
ounce of lead in you?" was the man
age3r's answer,
"No, Mtassa you don't dare do

"Do '. dare ?" cried the Aben in

Mr. Dubois' parsonage, and the

when all was burned around is a
mystery. The people were clad in
all descriptions of apparel. They

PAINFUL AcCIDENT.
One of the saddest passages in
the whole affair is the death of a
young man named Jamieson. He,
with some twelve others, had pro
i cured arms from the English man,
of-war and were formed into a
scouting party from West End.
About the third day they went out
in tie country and pit up for the
night at estate "Two Williams."
Sotme faithful negroos weiq there
and were set ont as guards around
the est-itt. About nine o'clock in
the evening four of the party stir'e I
out to visit the guards. They as
certained that one had loft lis p)o.t,
but after it few minutes the miII
was found. "Jomo alttrelntion on

attention of the party left in) tile
house, who sallied forth, thinking
the mob had ratuir-ned, By this
time the four had started for the
Iotiso. Some one called out, "Whlo
coes there ?" and was answered,
"Friends," and the four continued
to advance It w 1. dark, and the
wind, -which was blowing fresh, it
appears prevented the words from
being heard. A young Dane, who

captain of the party. He raised is

the man who was advancing along -
side of Janioson. Had the whole
pary fired, the four would doubt
less have bacn shot. The scene
was indescrlbable. Several threw
their guns on the ground and rolled
over in the agony of the shock.
Had the mob assaulted at that mo
ment, declares one present, we were
lost, for none of us could do any
thing. The Dane reported to the
authorities ; but, of course, it is one
of those accidents which may hap

EQUAL TO THE OccAiSoN. -B rag
garts are generally easy to be
scared. A, French shoemaker, fond
of boasting that nothing could
frighten him, proved an exception
to the rule. Two young fellows
resolved to put him to the test, so
one shammed dead, and the other
prevailed upon the shoe-maker to
watch the body through the night.
B3eing busy, he took his tools with
hun and worked beside the corpse.
About midnight a cup of black
coffee was brought to him to keep
him awvake, and lhe was so exhilarat
ed by the draught that lie struck
up a merry song, still plying his
hammer vigorously. Suddenly the
would-be corpse arose and said, in
sepulchral tones, "When a man is
in the presence of death he should
not sin" The shoe-maker was
startled, but recovering his self
possession in a moment, lhe doalt
the corpse a blow on the head with
his hammer as he uttered : "When a
man is dead he should not speak."

Liko one of tle gods who annoyed
Tantalus, ir, Talnage holda out,
every Sunday, the grapes of his
vicious experience, only to wink and
withdraw them slyly the instant
that his congregation has pursod
up its Inouth for their reception.
I1epeatedly, with three conspicuous
police officials and two deacons, 11e
rolls through the moonlight in a
maglificent earriage oll his way tQ
the "Gates of Hell," but having
reached his destination, instead of
answering expectationis and d1O
soribiig what his audiecieo ip waiting
for, ho nimbly slips around the
corner of the emergeney, and de
votes the rest of his sermon to well
worn generalities and the combined
praise of Anthony Comstock and the
Brooklyn police. The advance and
retrea of the pastor of the Taber
nacle were yesterday ahmost sinul,
taneous. lie went up to the Gates
lil;o a lion. only instantly to whisk
awiy from them like a 1amb,
"The gates of hell mhall not pre
vail against it," Mr. Talmage
shouted by way of a text. " 'It's
only 10 o'clock,' said the officer of
the law, as we got into a carriage
for the pm pome of pursuing our
miIduight explorations. 'It's only
10 o'c:ock, and too early to seeo
anything in the haunts of vice, for
thfj Wuatros have not VIt lot out.'

keeper, 1r, Talmage is allowed to
enter into a h:il, and then into a
parlor. There eight or ten men, in
middle life and well dressed, are
gathered about a gambling table,

going the first rounds of their.
vicious career. There was some
thing awfully solemn in- the
silence, in tile intense gaze,
and tile suppressed emotion as the
players contemniplated the shifting
fortunes on the board. "A man's
life," declared Mr, Ttlnmage, "was
not worth a farthing there, unless
p)rotected b)y the police, if it should
be sup)posed that he 1had( come) on a
mfissio)n of Christian observation."
(Smuiles from some1 in thea Taber
nacle.] A young man camne in, put
money down on the roulette table,
and lost. He put down more money
and lost. More, and lost. Feeling
in his pockets for more money then,
and finding none, "lhe turned his
back in severe silence, and passed
out."
The literature about tihe costli
ness and magnificence of these
phaeea Mr. Talmage saidwas untrue,
Men kep t their hlats on and smoked'
and there was nothing in the u
holstery or furniture to forbid it,
It was; not uncommon, was Mr,
Talma' s moral, for gamesters to
resort to the suicide's revolver. In
gambling processes, was his anti
elimax, $19.8,00,00,000 change
hands every year.
At 11. o'elock Mr. Talmage passed
out into the street, The burly
guard slammed the door, anid they
went down to the carriage and
roldaway toward the Gates of
Hel"Heaven, as everybody knows,
has three gatos on each aide, all
made out of eolid pearL, Hell's
gates are set in sockets of deep and
dreadful masonry, and are very'
high, so that people may not get
out. It is safe to go whers ,qod
tells you. God told Mr. Tlmage
to go and see and report, "and," Mr.
Talmage said, "I am here to sketch
the Gates of Hell. With the 'ham
mer of God's truth J shall smite
upon their brazen panels, and with
theIlantern'of God's truth I sheJi

Tage said was bad litUraturo.
Anthony Comstock had api-od
twenty tons of bad literqture, yet not
all ad litoraturo was gripped by
the law. Parlors and libraries
were full of it, and children retire
and read it with the gas jet swung
niar to their pillows. It pxists
under the title of (cipntifle inforna,

der in a single hotel disposed of a

cried Mr. Tainage, "on women who,
when they clan get all usefill infor
mation from the family physician,
wade chin deep in abomination like
tlls. .Do not dcvived. Though
they bear the marks of eminent
New York and Philadelphia pub
lishers, they all come hot from the
nether world." As for novelettes
nobody who road thei, Ar, 'al
mage said, coulI keep either integ
rity or virtue, He pursued pleas
antly, "100,000 men and women in
the TJilted $tates to-day arp read
ing thlms0lves into Wl," Tho
leprous booksellers had gathered up
catalogues of girls' seminaries and
boys' schools and sent their circu
lars of death to every one without
exception. "There is no opp wh
hpars me," id Alr. Talmage, Owho
hasn't had offfired to him or her a
bad book or a bad picture."
Gate second was tb disfIl1to
dance, Mr. Talinago oaid that
there wias a dissolutp dance whicb
was pursued both in the haunts oi
death and in elegant mansions.
"You know," lie cried, "what pos
turos and motions are suggested by
the devil." Hs continit(d that the
dissolute dancer slid into the dip
solute dance over an inclined plane,
swifter and swifter slnd wilder, 1ntil
with sped of light ho whistled off
the edge of a dissolute life into a
fiery future. No one had a right
to take a position to music which he
would be ashamed to take without
music. "No Chickering grand of
city parlor," wafs Mr, Talmage's
clihnwx uiponi this Gate, 'or fiddle of
Ife1ntain1 pieni (-an consecrate that
whieb Gotd hath eursed."
Gate third, indiscreet apparel.
Mr, Taiflmage had been told that
there was a new fashion coming
from Paris whiah wAs shooking to
all righteousness. Multitudes of
men owed their ctornal damnation
to the boldness of female aWire,
Gate four, alcoholic beverage.
The captive of the wine cup was
also the captive of all other vices,
which went in flocks like carrion
crows, so that when you saw that
beak ahead you might know that
other beaks were coming. Courts
and Legislatures swung wide open
this creaking, stupendous gate of
the lost.
In the coming war to be wagad
agaitst the Gates of Hell. Mr,
Talmage said that the Christian
press was to be the battering ram,
that the pulpits were to bo arrang4d
in a storming line, and that "God's
rad-hot truth was to be the Oying
ammunition of the contest."
Thus Mr. Talmage camne only to
the Gates, and left the wonders of
the interior still unexplored.
