Dr Talmage is a very great rca?, so great that the sound ef his name al m cst aves 08 ioto silence. Bat sometimes we become very brave sod, cn ?ach oc? casions, the Reverend Doctor mast take bb chances with the rest of the world. Not long since we experienced an acute attack of cowrage, and while loder ?ts influence, inveighed against the habit, lately contracted by many journals, of forcing the sermons of Dr. Talmage down all our throats once a week. Hauy of oar brethren being interested, tome took occasion to protest. Hence fe is io order for ns to tell why we did it. Some weeks ago Dr. Talmage opened bit sermon, at stated in the following clipping : Tb? subject of Dr. Talmage's recent sermon at the Brooklyn Tabernacle was, "Shall America be "reserved for Americans," and bis text, Acts xvii, 26 : "And bath made of one Mood all oatioos." That is, if for some rea? son general phlebotomy were ordered, and Standing in a row were an A me ri cnn, an Kngltshman, a Scetcbccsc az>? an (Irishman, a Frenchman, a German, a Norwegian, an Ice? lander, a Spaniard, an Italian, a Russian and repr?sent?t! Teg of other nationalities bared their right arm and a lancet were struck into it, the blood let oat would bare the same characteristics, -for it would be red, complex, fibrine, glebofose, chlorine, and containing sulphuric acid, potassium, phosphate of mag? nesia and ?O WL, *MI Harvey and Sir Astley Cooper, and Richardson and ?immerman, and Broyr.-Secuard, and all the scientific doctors, allopathic, homeopathic, hydro? pathic, and eclectic, would agree with Paul as, Standing on fiars Kill, tis pulpit a ridge of limestone rock fifty Feet high and among the proudest and most exclusive and undemo? cratic people of the earth he crushed into ail their prejudices by declaring in the words of my text that God bad made "of one blood all nations.1' We have no aspirations to become a preacher, wish we had, but all intelli? gent Christians will joio us in declaring that the text bas no such meaning as that attributed to it. T?e Apostle Paul, was eoe of the few orators who never made a fool cf himself, as be would bare done, bad be tnteoded what the Nestor of Brooklyn would, have ?s believe. Tbose who have really felt wbat it is to be a Christiao (off the stage), know that, when the Apostle to the Gentiles said : "And bath made of ooe blood all nations," be meant, of one and the same nature, bath fashioned their hearts, sentiments; feelings, alike, and that baying derived tfcem from tfee same ancestor, God hath bovad them together with an indisso? luble bond of mutual forbearance and affection : that, all are brethren? and '? each is entitled to the assistance of all the rest ; that he, Paul, was a Jew, bet a brother to the Greeks. The clerical Henry Irving of the City of Churches ?nows this far netter than we do, but such a p?ain and simple statement of a Christian truth would have given him no opportunity to flaunt bis scientific and literary knowledge be- j fore a large audience Hence the at-j tencated, ErartsTike piece of trash ? above quoted. This shows how ridiculous are some great men's utterances, bot we have yet ; to state oar most serious objection. The social and political doctrines of Dr. Talmage do not accord with the genius of our people. An example is found in tie sermon whose opening lines we have quoted, lu that sermon, Dr. Tal- i mage advocates to the best of bis ability, universal, social and political ?quality. He claims that it is a crime against the j plans of tba Almighty to exclude the j1 Chinese or any other people from our j shores. He teaches that a grand mix tore of the blood of all races is the proper method for evoivteg the ideal 1 man. He thinks (?at this garden spot , of the coi verse eb odd be thrown open ! j to tie hordes of Europe, Asia and Af? rica, and all should be put upon thc same plane. Dr. Talmage does not be- j ? lieve io aoy such doctrine, and it is a ], crime for him to teach it. Many per- j J sons read poetry for the beauty of the j ( ry ??m, aod many read these pertness for > j the beauty of their author's reputation. { We wish everybody did, and theo there ,! | would be DO cause for apprehension. ! E Sueh men as Talmage and Sam Jones , are weaving on to Christianity a ma- ! g chine-made addition which compares ' j bat poorly with that iocompsrabie f&b- j \ ric which has grown uuder the fingers ? t of the ages, and pasting over the blood- ] , stained patterns of martyr-artists the {s flaring sunflowers of their egotism. j r OKLAHOMA. ! _ 1c ~ 7 We who live in this proey, ancient j 1 and quiet State, can have but slight | 1 conception, of the enthusiasm aod ex- j8 eitetuent produced upon thousands ott* people in the States of TexaR, Arkan- j c tas, Kansas and Missouri by (he men- j ( tion of thc word Oklahoma. Years j s ago we have seen business men, ordi- j a narily shrewd and quiet in their way, j grow red in the face and froth at the j < month io their denunciation of the gov- \ r ernment for its delay ; while they ; t would become almost poetic iu their de- ; c scription of beautiful Oklahoma. It ?H ; ' indeed the garden spot of the Rgticui- j i tural West. Broad rivers sweep j J through it from West to E?ist, fed by j ( numberless smaller streams, tbe waters ' t of which are pure and sweet as those of j ( our Eastern mountains. Long lines of ; ] j i timber mark the course cf streams, and ; f between he thc rounded, grassy shoal- I ? dered prairies, that have known no ; j master save the herdsman and the hunt- j er. Drought is unknown on account of ) the peculiar formation of the soil, and 'j the bleak and fatal wiuds which deso- 1 Jete *?be flat $>k?&s ef Texas* tea ve the jj sheltered valleys of Oklahoma emiting | ie emerald ser-su?ty. But wbere is Oklahoma ? If yeu will take a map of Isdiau Territory, put yew ?oger ca tko 98th degree of longittcde West of Greenwich, where it intersects the Canadian river, follow it jforth to the Ci?arron river, thence msve Northwest along that river to Glass mountain, thence East to a little beyond the 96th degree of longitude, thence South and Southwest to ?be Cimarr?n river, thence iSoufcb te the Canadian river, yon will about locate Oklahoma. It is composed of lands purchased in 1866 by the United States from the Creek and Seminole nations of Indian*, but tbe completion of the contract and tbe passage of the Act of Congress authorising its being opened up to -settlement under the Fed? eral homestead law, were not -consum? mated until March 2nd, of this year. President Harrison bas issued bis proc? lamation in .pursuance of tho Act of Congress, declaring that from and after 12 M. on April 22d, inst., any man may, under the law, occupy a home? stead ia Oklahoma, not to exceed acres. Provided always, of course, he caa find one to occupy, but that no man, who, prior to tb*t time, crosses the line in searc*h trf a hoares toad, st ail ever i>e allowed to take one. We convey but a faint idea of tbe state of affairs when we say that^O.'OOO persons are ?ow encamped on the li-ae biding their time. That among the? are -mea who have long foreseen tbe openiDg of this country, have often selected their bornes in this beautiful land to be as often ejected by the soldiers and Indian police, are weariog the rags and dirt of ten long, weary years of waiting on their persons and now find that they must take their chances with the rest. With such desperation as this on her borders, no one oin doubt that the his? tory of April 22d in Oklahoma will be written in blood. When the news of the proclamation was spread, hundreds of these worn and haggard creatures emerged from the swamps and forests aleag fae streams, and yelled and danced themselves into a deHrium of joy. Years hence, when the whole face of ti.at favored region is dotted with houses aad villages, many a tale of horror will grandsires tell to fright? ened children of April 22d, and many a spot will be left unturned by the plow, because it is the grave of an Oklahoma ' .boomer." DISASTER IN SAMOA. WASHINGTON, March 30.-The following eable message waa received at the Xavy De? partment thia morning: AUCKLAND. March 30, To the Secre? tary of the ?avy, Washington D.

On last Wednesday morning, eminent statesman, whose name be this article, died at London, Eogla -Me was bom November 10th, 1811, ; was -78 years of age. No man of t hc cen fury bas lei deeper impress of bis life and opini upon the world, it is doubtful whet England has ever produced a grea orator than Mr. Bright, and it is cert ibat she never reared a nobler or m worthy one. As a free trader, reputation stands second onry to t of his life-long friend and co-work Richard Cobden. These two were head and front of the Anti-Corn L League which, in 1846, gave tue de; blow to protection in Eogland, wresti from Sir Robert Peel, prime minis and Lord John ilasse? the confess that such a -policy could not be su>ppo ed oo economic grounds. Tbis v dene at a time wheo the agricultn interest was still all powerful io p liamena ?sd the corn laws had be enacted to protect that interest. R Bright wa3 interested in manuf? tures, and, shertly after this peric directed his attention to the promoti of cotton production tn india and ott British possessions. The result of 1 efforts was not appreciated until 186 When the Southern ports were bloc aded, England was on the point raising that blockade to save her mau facturing interests from ruin. B Mr. Bright's labor had borne fruit, an by 1862, India was abie to furn i 1,350,000 bales of cotton. Mr. Bright had a horror of war, at brought all the powers of his wonderf mind into opposition to the campair in the Crimea. In 1882, he went o of ofice rather than countenance tl war in Egypt. Ile was the ?ionei in calling attention to the wrongs Ireland., but could never agree wit Mr. Gladstone in his advocacy of hon rule. During rt^c free trade etrugg Mr. Bright made use of an expTessic which has an ominous sound to u around whom the octopus of protection still tightly folding his slimy arn and sucking our life blood, lleferrin to the famine of 1846 in Ireland, coi sequent upon the failure of the pota! crop, and the fact that this alone ic duced the Government to open he ports to foreign grain. Mr. Brig! said: "FaBiine itself, against wilie we warred, joined us " ' JINGO. Aa enquirer asks us the meaning c '?Jingo'* as applied to our ring-streakei and striped Secretary of State, Mi Blaine. Some years since, the diplomatic re lati?os of Great Britain and Russia be came what is known, in political pat lance, as strained. Much excitemcn prevailed in Loudon, and a deciaratioi ef war was daily expected. Afcout thu time, some waggish scion of Grut Btreet wrote a jingling ditty, which wai forthwith set to music, and became z favorite in all the dives and dane? houses of tue metropolis. One stauzs of the song is sufficient fer our purpose, It reads about as follows : "We don't urar.t to %??, But, hy Jingo, if we do, We're got the men, we're got the ships, And we've got the monty too." The policy of England, in the quar? rel referred to, was characterized by "bluff," which has since been known as ..Jingoism." The public life of Mr. Blaine, thc apostle of a "vigorous for? eign policy," has been distinguished for the same political virtue, and he is BOW known all over the world as ..Jingo" Blaine. ? l-l I I-CP-.???III ll-MIHI I ll A NEW FIRE ALARM. Probably the most singular, at the >ame time, effective fire alarm in exis ence is now in use at Darlington This alarm (and its name is not a mis? nomer, for it really is an alarm) possesses, besides its astonishing ein nency, several virtues which are entire y foreign to its rivals. It can be put ip, at any point in South Carolina or Texas, without the slightest cost to the nunioipal authorities, and tts mainfe lancc for any length of time, is almost :qual:y cheap, for it co?ts but a few jents yearly. It affords iutense amuse lient to those who sound it, and pre- j luces a similar degree of activity cn ; he p&rt of all other citizens of a town ; v h ich is fO for tu na fe as to have it in | jperation.

The mechanical workings of this ad- j nimble system ate so ? impie o*< to make i t a matter of wonder that its merits ; ire not more generally recognized.

Harrison has rewarded another insignifi? cant son of an illustrious father by appointing Robert Todd Lincoln Minister to Koginup. It is certainly a queer appointment, when the delicate relations just now existing br tween the United States and England are taken into consideration. It would naturally seem that a man of great experience aud abil? ity would have been selected as our repre? sentative at the court of St. James. Robert Lincoln has neither'; he is a lawyer, or rather bas been permitted on account of his name to | join a firm of Chicago lawyers, and imagined j that he w is by legal work earning a living j for himself and family. His ability was ! tested from ''S! to "85 when be -was. Secretary 0? War, and the general "verdict of the great i majority of those that had nosiness with him j was that he wa? a regular 'chump,' suffering I with aa aggravated caso of big head. ? Tne only reason that I can see for his appoint- j ruent is that Blaine prCiers a nonentity to 1 representas in London, because in case of! any complications he will have a better ex? cuse for personally taking things in hand, and Harrison in making the appointment was doubtless ftCi?* rt ted by sentiment to associate ! the name of Lincoln with that of Fred Grant who'had already been appointed to (/flice, and besides can never forget how ranch he himself j owes to being the-grandson of William Henry ; Harrison Marat flalsiead, editor of the bloodiest of j the bloody shirt orgaus, the Cincinnati Com- \ merdai Gazette, has been nominated minister to Germany. Let Bismarck beware now, how be discriminates against American pork. Allen Thorndyke Rice, editor of the North j American Review, has received his reward I for publishing the notorious "Arthur Rich mond" attacks on Ex-Secretary Bayard, by : being appointed minister to Russia, it's j pretty mg pay for very small work. Blaine has paid off some of his Irish debts ' by having Pat Egan, who was once President j of the Irish National League appointed min- | ister to Chili. It is to be hopea that lhere1 will be no more guano claims brough: against | that country, .George B. Lorrng, who was a conspicuous j failure as Commissioner of Agriculture, has] been appointed minister to Portugal The army of office-seekers here is beginning ! to thin out considerably. Finding t! at they j could not hurry matters by remaining here the most of them have filed their applications and gone homo to wait patiently as they can for the office that may never come. The old, old, story of a man suddenly try- ? ing to become greater than Iiis Creator is being ; once more enacted here. Wannamaker, who ! was made Postmaster-Generai by ?Senator j Quay, has dared to recommend a Pennsylvania I appointmentwithoutcousultingQ;iay. Foolish ! Wannaoaa-ker. Does he think that Quay and j Clarkson proposes to allow him to monkey j with the big ofhees under the Post ??ice ; Department? Such frivolous ideas may have i wandered through his eran in a iew cays ago, but it is very safe to say they arc now ? all gone glimmering never to return again, j Wannamaker actually had the impudence to offer the Postmastership of Philadelphia to ! a highly respected citizen of that staid old town who bad been known in the near past I to vote against the ring nominee of the ive- i publican party. Wannamaker'? selection was \ applauded by the business interests of Phil- j adelphi* irrespective of politics, but when Quay heard of it he got Don Cameron, and | together they read the riot act to poor Wan- [ nam??ker and demanded the position for a \ machine politician. Wannamaker bravely j stuck to his friend in spite of all threats from j thc Senatorial pair. The war was then car- ; ried to the White House' and Harrison was assured that if the nomination of Wanna- j maker's friend was sent in it would be re- ! jected. Harrison having more political ex- j perience than '"Cheap John," saw that a j compromise would have to be patched up, | so Wannamaker was sent for and told that the best way out of the whole trouble would , be to get his friend to decline and then to ! confer with Quay and Cameron as to who j should be selected. This was not at all j palatable to "Cheap John," but 'ne finally agreed to have his man decline if Quay | and Cameron would withdraw their man. I And that's the bunding of the muddle nov/, j To use the language of a sporting man. the j newspaper men of the Republican party are j playing in big luck. ! TffttKIBLK.
