DR. TALVAGE PREACHES ABOOT THE i
GIANT'S BEDSTEAD.
I
Lessons Drawn from the Bible Ilecital
of the Encounter of the Israelites with
the Eleven foot Heathen Warrior?A
Powerfol Sermon.
Brooklyn, March 13.?Dr. Talmage
gave another illustration this morniag
in his sermon at the Tabernacle of his
wonderful power of drawing useful, practical"
lessons from" 'ah obscure text,
which, to the ordinary mind, seemed
incapable ot yielding any spiritual ediiicatioD.
The text was Deuteronomy iii,
11: "Only Og. king of Baahan, remained
of the remnant of giants; behold,
his bedstead was a bedstead of iron; is
it not in Kabbath of the children of Ammon?
Nine cubits was the length thereof
and four cubits the breadth of it."
The story of giants is mixed with
uiyiii. ?y iiiiaui. out vumiuvm
to have been of overtowering altitude,
but when in aftert:me his tomb was
opened his bones indicated that he had
been physically of only ordinary size.
Roland the Hero was said to have been
of astounding stature, but when his sepulcher
was examined his armor was
found only large enough to lit an ordii
s nary man. Alexander the Great bad
helmets anu shields of euo'cious size
made and left among the people whom
he had conquered, so as Vj '^ive the im\
pression that he was a giant, although
he was rather under than over the usual
height of a man. But that in other days
> and lands there were real gimts is authentic.

of Brunswick was eight and a half feet

Vj*edstead of Og, the king, must have f
been about thirteen and a half feet long. [
Judging from that the giant who occupied
it was probably about eleven feet
in stature, or nearly twice the average
human size. There was no need of
"Rabbinical writers trying to account for
the presence of this giant, King Og, as
they did, by savin? that he came down
from the other side of the tlood. bein?
tall enough to wade the waters beside
"Noah's ark. or that he rode on the top
of the ark, the passengers inside the ark
daily providing him with food. There
was nothing supernatural about him.
He was simply a mon?" ';r in she.
3 Cyrus and Solomon Jept on beds of
gold, end Sardanapalus had 150 bedsteads
of gold burned up with him, but
.i- this beds load of my text was of iron?
everything sacrificed for strength to hold
this excessive avoirdupois, this Alp of
bone and flesh. 2so wonder this couch
w&s kept as a curiosity at Kabbath, and
people went from far ani near to see it,
just as now people go to museums to
behold the armor of the ancients. Yeu
say what a fighter this giant, King Og,
must have been. Xo doubt of it. I suppose
the size of his sword and breastplate
corresponded to the size of his bedTV
x stead, and his stride across the battlefield
and the full stroke of his arm must
have been appalling. With an armed
host he comes down to drive back the
Israelites, who are marching on from
-> V . Egypt to Canaan.
We have no particulars of the battle, I
but I think the Israelites trembled when
they saw this monster of a man moving
down to crush them. Alas for the Israelites!
Will their troubles never
cease? What can men fire and a half
against this warrior^ of
JuTTx ^ ; * ?
and the gigjutocr sii[;u"co~v-^- ,
made when advancing into the bacc^-p
were more than equaled by the gigantic '
strides with which he retreated. Huzza '
for triumphant Israel! Sixty fortified .
- " cities surrendered to them. A land of ]
iudescribable opulence comes into their i
O. possession, and all that is left of the :
giant king is the iron bedstead. "Nine 1
cubits was the lensrth thereof and four i
cubits the breaath of it." i
That man has been thirty years faith- ]
fully in attendance upon churches and i
prayer meetings and Sunday schools,
and putting h-mself among iniense re- j
ligious associations. He may have his
imperfections, but he is a very good <
man. Great is his religious stature. :
liie Oilier man nas oeeu iui tun.ov jcau
among influences intensely worldly, and
be has shut himself out from all other
influences, and his religious stature is
that of a dwarf. Xo man ever has been
or can be independent of his surround- :
ings?social, intellectual, moral, religious.
The Bible indicates the leuglh of :
the giant bv the length of his bedstead. ;
Let no man say, 'T will be good," and
jet keep evil surroundings. Let no man
say, 'T will be faithful as a Christian,"
and yet consort chiefly with worldlings.
You are proposing an everlasting i:u- :
possibility. :
From the fact that Oi's bedstead was
thirteen and a half leet long, I conclude i
the sriant himself was about eleven feet
i . __ i... ?u*.
tiigti. i5Ut let no one uy mis uwu^ui
be induced to surrender to unfavorable
environments. A man can make his
own bedstead. Chan trey _ and Hugh
Miller were born stonemasons, but the
one became an immortal sculptor and
the other a Christian scientist whose ;
name will never die. Turner, the painter,
in whose praise John Kuskin expended
the greatest cenius of his life, was
the son of a barber who advertised "a
penny a shave." Dr. Prideaux, one of
. ? the greatest scholars of all time, earned
his way through college by scouring
pots and pans. The late Judge Dr ad levworked
his own way up from a charcoal
burner to the bench of the supreme
court of the United States. Yes, a man
tho r>f hia own bedstead.

Xotice furthermore that even giants
must rest. Such euormous physical endowment
on the part of King Og might
suggest the capacity to stride across ail
fatigue and omit slumber. Xo. Ilerequired
an iron bedstead. Giants must
rest. Not appreciating that fact, how
many of the gianis } early break down.
Giants in business, giants in art, giants
in eloquence, giants in usefulness. They
live not out more than half their days.
They try to escape the consequence oi
overwork b\r a voyage across the sea or
a sail in a summer yacht, or call on pay
sicians lor relief from insomnia cr restoration
of unstrung nerves or the arrest
of apepiexles, when all they need is
what tnis giant ot'my text resorted to?
an iron bedstead.
The only case of accident to sleep
mentioned in the Bible was when Eutychus
lell from a window during a sermon
of Paul, who had preached until midnight,
but that was not so much a condemnation
of sleep as a censure of long
sermons, ilore sleep is what the world
^ wants. Economize in everything but
k 'T sleep. William H. Seward, the renowned
secretary of state, in the midst
of his overmastering tons aonseu :or me j
capacity to rest, writing in liis memo- I
randum boos, *'1 have never tound but
one invaluable rceipe for having a good I
night's rest, and that is to have been
restless and sleepless the night before."
When President John Quincy Adams

wcut to bear Judge Story lecture oa law j
to his students, and when invited to sit
beside the judge and both fell asleep,
the judge appropriately pointed to them
and said to his students, "Behold the
evil ciTects of early rising."
In Bible times, when people arose at
the voice of the bird, they retired at the
time the bird puts his head under his
wing. One of our national sins is robbery
of sleep. Walter Scott was so
urgent about this duty of slumber that, i
when arriving at a hotel wher?. there
was no room to sleep in, except that in |
which there was a corpse, inquired n
the deceased had died of a contagious
disease, and, when assured he had not,
took the other bed in the room and fell
into prot'oundest slumbc-. Those of
small endurance must certainly require
rest if even the giaut needs an iron bedstead.
Notice, furthermore, that God's people
on the way to Canaan need no-; be
surprised if they confront some sort of a
giant. Had not the Israelitish host had
trouble enough already:* Xo! Ked sea
not enough. Water famine not enough.
Long marches not enough. Opposition
by enemies of ordinary stature not
enough. They must need Og. the giant
oftheiron bedstead. "Xine cubus was
the length thereof and four cubits the
breadth of it." Why not let these Israelites
go smoothly into Canaan without
this gigantic opposition:' Oh, they
~ - .. , r.:iU
needed to have tneir courage auu luim
further tested and developed! And
blessed the man who, in our time, in
his march toward the Promised Land,
does no. meet more than one giant. I)o
not conclude that you are not on the vav
to Canaan because of this obstacle.
As well mi^ht the Israelites conclude
they were not on the way to the Promised
Land because they met Ug, the sriant.
! Standing iu your way is some evil pro!
pensitv, some social persecution, some

t-ess. Not one ot you but meets a giant
who would like to hew you m twain.
Higher than eleven feet this Og darkens
the sky and the rattle of bis buckler
stuns the ear. But you are going to get
the victory, as did the Israelites. In the
name of the God of Moses and David ;
^d Joshua and Paul, charge on him,
anCSv you will leave his carcass in the I
wildehsfiss. You want a battle shout!
Take timSswith which David, the five
footer, assailecTvGoliath, the nine footer;
when that giant cni^d, with stinging con- I
tempt both in manrN^r and intonation,
"Come to me, and I v^Ilgive thy flesh
nntn t.hp fowls nf t.hp. lal^.tnd to the
beasts of the field," and Da>^^toojjgd
up at ihe monster of bra?gadoc?o^em9P;
defiantly replied: uThou comest to me
with a sword, and with a spear, and
with a shield; but I come to thee in the
name ot the Lord ot Hosts, the God of
the armies of Israel, whom thou hast
defied. This day will the Lord deliver
thee unto mine "hand; and 1 will smite
tb<^ and take thine head from thee, and
I will give the carcasses ot the host ot
the Philistines this day unto the fowls
of the air and to the wild beasts of the
earth that all the earth may know that
there is a God in Israel."
Then David, with probably three swirls
of the shag about his head, got it into
sufficient momentum and let fiy till the
cranium of the giant broke in aad he
fell, and David leaped on his carca ss,
one foot on his chest and the other on
Viia <?nrl that, was the last of the
Philistine.
brethren, I have made up my mind
that we will have to light all the way up
to the promised laud. I used to thiuic
that alter awhile I would get iuto a time
where it would be smooth and easy, but
the time does not come and it will never
come in this world. By the time King
Og is used up so that he cannot get into
his iron bedstead, some other giant ol
opposition looms up to dispute our war.
Let us stop looking for an easy time
and make it a thirty years' war, or a
sixty years' war, or a hundred years'

[lis name is Doubt. His common tcod .

and ministers who do not know whether
the Bible is inspired at all or inspired

In this battle against King Og u?e not
for weapons the crutch of a limping
Christian or the sharp pen of a contro- ;
versialist, but the sword of truth, which
is the word of God. The word ''It" is
made up of the same number of letters 1
as the word '*02:," and it is just as big a
giant. If the Bible be true. If the soul |
be immortal. If Christ be God. If our
belief and behavior here decide our '
future destiny. If. If. If. I hate '
that word ''It.7' Noah Webster says it
is a conjunction; I say it is an armed
?iant. fcatan breathed upon it a curse ;
when he said to Christ. "If thou be the
Son of God." What a dastardlj and in
famous "If." Airainst that giant kiIt"
hurl Job's "I know" and Paul's "I
know." *'I know that my Redeemer
liveth." "1 know in whom I have believed."
Don-n with the "It" and up
with '*! know."
Oh, lhat giant Doubt is such a cruel
^iar.t! It attacks many in the last hour.
It could not let rr y mother alone even in
her dying moments. After a lire of holiness
and consecration such a3 I never
heard of in any one else, sue saiu 10 my
father, 1'Father, what if, after all, our
prayers and struggles should ?ro lor
nothing." Why could she not, after all
the triais and sicknesses and bereavements
ot' a long life aad the Infirmities of
old a^e, be allowed to go without such
a cruel stroke from Doubt, the gianr?
Do you wonder I have a erudge against
the old monstei? If I could I would give
him a bigger bounce than Satan got
when, hurled out of heaven, trie first
thins he struck was the bottom of perdition.
Another impression from my subject:
The mare a or uie cnurcu cannot oe impeded
by gigantic opposition. That
Israelilish host ledjon by Moses was the
church, and when Og, the giant (him of
the iron bedstead), came out against
h:m with amother host?a fresh host
agaiDst one that seamed worn out?thing
must have looked bad for Israel. 2s o account
is given of'.he bedstead of Moses,
except that one in which he ilrst slept?
the cradle of aquatic vegetation on the
Nile, where the wife of Cheaephres, the
king, found the iloating babe and, having
no child of her own. adopted him. Moses
of ordinary size against Og of extraordinary
dimensions. .Besides that Og was
backed up by sixty fortified cities.
Moses was backed up seemingly by nothing
but the desert that had worn him
and his army into a group ot undisciplined
and exhausted stragglers. But the
Israelites triumphed. If you spell the
name of Og backwark you turn it into
the word "Go," and Og was turned
backward and made to go.
With Og's downfall all the sixty cities
5iirrpnf]prft(l. Xothin? was left of the
giaat except his iron bedstead, was kept
in a museum at Kabbath to show how
tall and stout he once was. So shall the

mar ill succuxfb. Net sixty cities cap-! *
tureu, but ail tbe cities. Not only on j
oue side of Jordan, but oa both sides oi j f

it, all ye who are doing something for |
the conquest of the world for God and I
the truth, the time will come when, as j
there was nothing left of Og, the iainl. | <
but the iron bsdstead kept at llabbath
as a curiosity, there will be nothing lelt
ot the giants of iniquity except something
lor the relics hunters to examine.
Which of the giants will be the last
slain I know not, but there will be a
museum somewhere to hold the relics (
of what they once were. A rusted
sword will bs hung up?tne only relic 1
of the giant of War. A demijohn? <
the only relic of the giant of Inebration. j
A roulette ball?the only relic of the (
giant of Ha/ird. A pictured certilicate

for the later ages of the v/orld what the

Brussells, March li.?A frightful
,'olliery disaster has occurred at Anlerlues.
Three hundred miners are
intombed in the pit, and a series oi' explosions
Lave apparently cut oft all ac :ess
to the men. An attempt has been
nade to reach disimprisoned miners,
jut s5 far without success. The explorer*
have bem beaten back by the
foul fumes. The shafting and ventilation
are destroyed.
Three female miners have been resitted,
and it. sri-ais *l!iio*t certain that

prevail?, and thousands are Hocking
to the place, which is oue of the
leading mining centers of Beigium.
The scenes at the pit ruou'h are most
pathetic, a multitude of people bewailing
their relatives, suppose 1 to have
perished in the mine.
Dispatches from Charier >1 this even- |

for the see fie of the explosion this afternoon.
Machinery for keeping down the
water in tin- mine and facilitating ttie
work of hoisting out thti wreckage has
already bten shipped. The Government
is receiving bulletins of the progress
of the work at the shaft, and has
sent a representative to the spot to as
certain the facts lor use in an mvesugation
of the causes of the accident and in
placing the responsibility for it.
King Leopold has contributed 5,000
francs from his private purse to the
temporary support of the families of
miners already known to have been
killed. Hundreds of men and yomen
from nearby villages have ??frer (j near

A liiiriilr.r K:I2c<!.
The poslotliee at Bamberg was bur-i
gUrized on last rrutardny night and
robbed of ail the cash in ti.e money
drawers and a registered pickage
which had been received during the
dny. The burglars entered through a
frort window of the o!nce and then
forced thtir way through the general
delivery window and went out through
the rear of the building. The amount
taken was about 843. It is said that
there was a laige amount of money in
~ irin* .in f)io f-nnnnir which
cl till UUA l)lUg, 'H ,
was untouched. There is no due as to
who the roWj.-rs are, except that th-.
postmaster has suspicions and has
Town Maishal Cave workiu? u;> the
case. The suspect lelt here for
Charleston freely spending money, and
was followed by the marshal on the
next train. Thirty dollars of the
ir.oney whs recovered Sunday night l>y
Policemen Cave and Jon^s. Tr.e house
of the suspected burglar was searched
and the money was found secreted under
the bed. This settles tbe guilt on
a colored man, an ex-convict, who left
for Charleston Sunday night.
Tiio Uflftihprer norrPSDOndelll Of the
State, from which journal the above is
taken, under date of March 14. sajs
Town Marshal Wiley Cave shot and
killed Jake Samuels, colored, last night
about 12 o'clock. It was the sequel to
the postoflice robbery of Saturday niyht,
au account of which appears above.
The only witnesses to thesfioottnjr were
Postmaster Vara and Mr. Y. (J. Jones.
An inquest was held Monday by Trial
Justice Kowe, and from theevideoce
of the thr*.e witnesses and the principal,
which is corroburative, the following
is gathered:
Af ter Mr. Cave recovered S30 of the
stolen money from Samuels'* nouse he
thought It possible that Samuels would
return during the night to secure his
money, and requested i'ostmaster Vara
and Mr. Y. C. Jones to accompany him
to make the arres1". After had
beiii at the house about a Pi'lour* Samuels
turned up, only to bejj'rpri3ecj a'jnd
arrested. 11^ broked^^ at once an"*^
acknowh^gedtlj^^ri^Ql/ywj the post >
cthce, up all the money h?
aflj!yS?ren.
I ^fne three mrn t'nen nrou*ui uieu
captive down the railroad toward the
guard house, when Samuels suddenly
turned and asked what they were going
to do with him. Mr. Yarn told htm
he wo*ld go to Sing Sing. At this
Samuels made a break for liberty, but
the marshal, who was too alert for him,
wheeled and shot him within three feet
of his body and lired twice more. The
riejrro fell dead, the last ball piercing
his heart and causing instant death.
The verdict of the jury was that the
deceased came to his death by a pistol
shot wound inflicted by Wiley Cave.
Trial Justice Hone committed Mr.
Cave to jaii to await trial at the ne?t
term of court. Public opinion differs
as to wh8ther*Cave was justifiable or
not.

A Wild Western Tale.
El Reno, 0. T., March 10.?One cf
the most sensational killings ever known
in this section is reported Irora the
Western border of the territory. A
young muu uamed Ileury Harvey has
been pa} ing attention to a > oung wo- i
112 LI II 1U lllclt uci^iiuviuv;vu uaw^u xuut j |
Wilson. Another mau in the same
vicinity also wished ?.o pay his respects
to the young woman, and the result was
that a feud was at once inaugurated.
Hurvey was the favored suitor but, the
other lover, JohnTobin, was well knowa
as a.desperate character, aud a fight was
the inevitable result of the complication.
Ilarvey was with Miss Wiison at a dance
and during the festivities a quarrel wa*
started between the two men, which resulted
in Ilarvey getting a ball through
his r'ght lung whicli inflicted a serious
but not fatal wouud.
Miss Wilson was with him when the
shot was fired, and as soon as he fell to
the ground she drew from his pocket
his revolver and iired point blank at Tobiu,
shooting him directly Lhrou^h the
forehead and killing lum instantly. Th e
p60pl6 0I IUC VICIIiitY sajr tUKIi SUUSCkl&u
him ri^ht; and they liave done nothing
to bring her to justice. !>he at once
went to nursing Harvey, and to better
do it she called lor a minister aud was
married to the wounded man. There
was talk by some of Tobin's friends of
having the girl arrested, but they were
soon silenced by the people ot the neighborhood,
who roughly hin*ed that such
ah actiou would be visited by a ljncninic
bee. It, is probable that the young
women will never be brought to court
lor her crime, aud if she is there can
never be a jury secured that will convict
her.

SANGUINE JERRY SIMPSON

; li-liovftf the Third Par'y "Will Cirry
[ Eight or Niaa S~are?.
; Washington, March 16.?Do you
expect to carry State this autumn
:or the Thlnl party was recently asked
Congressman Jerry ainwsoa.
We do indeed," said Mr. Simpson
earnestly. "We expect to secure the
electoinl vote ol four northern and lour
southern States. There is a probability
of our carrying live northern States. Do
I mind tfellini: you what they are? N?-t
at all. They are Kansas. Nebraska,
Minnesota, Xorih an South Dakota.
The southern States arr- Georgia, Alabama,
Arkansas and "North Carolina.
We leel certaiu of carrying all of these
with the exception of North Dakota."
"That will not cnanle vou to elect
your president," I said. "On the contrary
^ou simply make certa'.u the election
ot a democratic President by throw
in^r the election into the house."
"That is an rigut," sa u jur. oimpouu,
calmly. "It is IjOL the presidency we
arc alter. Our underlying purpose is
either to obtain control of the house and
the senate or else hold the balance of
power in both bodies. We would, of
course, elect our president if we could.
At present we don't auiicipite that.
But a prt sidential tick'-1 carries with it
a certain prestige. A full ticket, with
presidential electors, and everybody else
on it down to the humblest candidate,
will jiive us a great many votes we could
not otherwise ?ct. That is our principal
purpose in putting a presidential
ticket in the tieid?that and a desire to
continue our national organization.
' What we want," Mr. Simpson went
ou, t%is Uie control of the legislative
branch of the uovernment. We never
can accomplish our purposes ia any
other way. With a brignt, clever man
like l^natious Donnelly leading our
ticket, ours would be a campaign ot education,
and we must educate the people
so that they will see that we are right
and that both the oW^rties are w ' " T
'*Xs it vou"purpose," I said, "to make"J
c^gbinaUffis with the two old parties
in cei^r of the northern and southern
States? In other words, it has been
suggested that in States where the republicans
are ia the majority you should
combine with the democrats, and in the
States where the democrats are in the
majority you should combine with the
rt-nnlilu'una.''
'\No," said Mr. Simpson, reflectively,
"I doo't think theie is anything in that.
We prefer to make our fi?ht independently
of the two old pa^ts."
t "Shall you extend your campaign east
of the Alleghany mountoins?into the
MiitdhraadJSew England States?"
"No," laughingly replied Mr. Simpson,
"is would be useless. Those States
are beyond reaemption. The West and
South b our country. In addition to the
Siates I have said we shall carry, we
also except to elect representatives in
congress and State assembly men in
such other granger communities as Illinois
and Iowa and Missouri."
"Dou't you believe when the real test I
comes," I said, that the while alliance
men ia the South will vote the democratic
ticket? Won't they be atratd if
vour people Let into power that you may
combine with the blacks and thus give
the latter a political prominence they
don't now enjoy. Didn't Livingston, of
Georgia, who is one #f your alliance
apostles, recently enunciate the principle
that he wa3 a demoerat first and alliance
men afterward, and don't you
think he voices the sentiment of the
white suuthern democrats geflerally?"

o'clock ttils afternoon a steamer was
sighted off this port heading in from
the westward and almost immediately j
afterwards tnenagoi; uie uimou
I of America could be distinguished flying
from the stern of tbe vessel. It >
was known then for certainty that the
approaching vessel was the Indiana, |

j which sailed from Philadelphia for this
| port on February 22 with a cargo of
llour aud provisions for the relief of the
famine suffers in Russia. Toe Indiaua
will enter the harbor in a short time.
Soon after the news of tbe arrival of
the Indiana had reached Libau tbe
liusslan cruiser Strasch, commanded
by Capt. Davidoff, having on board J.
M. Crawford, American consul, at Sc.
Petersburg; Count Bobrinkiof, chief of
famine relief committee; Mr. JBornhcldt,
American consul at Riga; the
president of the St. Petersburg Bourse

and otner notauie pursuit piuuccuttu
out to welcome her. Flags were flying
on all the vessels in the harbor and the
wharves were crowded with enthusiastic
people. The war ship was followed
by the Concordia, which had on board
the Bourse committee and a large number
of guests. As the vessels neared
i he Indiana the miilitary band played
"The Star Sprangled Banner" and the
salute was fired. The gentlemen from
the Strasch and Concordia boarded the
Indiana, and speeches of welcome were
made. The vessel will be unloaded at
once.

rniLADEH'iiiA, March 11.?Mrs.
I AngeJo Anizini, of 720 Brinton street,
yesterday morning gave birth to a child
which is a veritable freak of nature and
a puzzle to science. The infant is anything
bu t pleasant to look on. It has no
skull and consequently no forehead, the
crown of the head being parallel with
the eyebrows. Mrs. Anizini is becoming
lamous as the mother of freaks.
Only about a year ago she gave birth
to a child which had no roof to its
mouth. The case caused considerable
attention at the time, but the child only
lived a short time.
