Dr. Talmage Chooses A Hitbloct of '%'ide 1Ini orest. BRooic INN, June 24.-For today Rev. Dr. Talmage has chooseni a subiect of world wide Interest as tihe theme of his sermon through the press -viz, tho necessity of guarding the christian Sab bath against invapions that aim at its destruction. The text selected was Exodus xxxi, 13, "Verily my 8abbathe ye shall keep." The wisdom of cessation from hard lt bor one day out of' the even is almost universally acknowledged. The world has found out, that it call (10 less work im seven days than in six, and that lio 52 days of the year devoted to rest are an addition rather than a subs trac tion. Experiments have been made in all departments. The great ILorl Castlereagh thought lie ,could work his brain 365 days i the year, lit after awhile broke down and comnuiited seici(e and Wiloeflorce said of him: "Poori Castlereagh! Thir Is the result of the nonobservance of the Sabbatll'" A celebrated merchant declared, "I should have been a maniac long arc hut for the Sabbath." The nerves, the braIn, the muscles, the bones, the entire physic ai, intellectual ail moral na'ire cry cut for the Sabbath resi. What is true of man is for the most part trueofrthe brute. Travelers have found out. that they come to their places of' destination sooner when they let their horses -est by the way on the Sabbath. What is tie mat. ter witti those forlorn creatires larnessed to some of the city care? Why do they stumble and starger and fall? It is for the lack of the Sabbatic rest. In other words, when the lerdsien drove their sheep and cattle from the far west down to the seaboard, it was found out by experiment that those herdsmen and drovers who halted over the seventh day got down sooner to the seaboard than those who passed on without tile observance of the holy Sabbath. The fishermen off the coast of Newfoundland declare that those men during the year catch the most ish who stop during the Lord's day. When I asked the ltocky mountain engineer why lie ciangeld lcccnoloives when it seemed to be a straight route, lie said, "We have to let the locomotive stop and cool off or the machintiery would soon break down.'" Men who made large quantities of salt were tol(d thaitt if they allowed their kettles to cool over Sunday they would submit themsclves to a goart deal of (iaiage. The experi ment was made, some observing the Sabbath and some not observing tile Sal). bathb. Those who allowed the tires to go down and the kettles to cool once a week were compelled to spend only ia few pennies mn the way of repairs, wik in the cases where 1no Sabbath was ob, served many dlollirs were (demil'mded foi rep~airs. in other words, intelligenlt muan, du1mb beast and (deadh machinery cry out for thle Lord's day. lBut whiile the attempt, to kill the Sabbath by the stroke of ax andl tiai and yardstick has beautifully failed it Is proposed in our day to (drown the Sabbath by flooding it, With secular amusenments. They would bury it very decenitly under the wreath of the target, company and( to the musIc of' all brazen instrumelnte. There are today tm the different cities 10,000 hands and 10,000 pens busy ini at temptinig to cut out the heart or our Christian Sabbath and leave it a bleed lng skeleton of what it once was. The efiort is organized and tremendous, an~d unless the friends of Christ and the lov. ers of' good ordfer all rouse up righi speedily their sermons and protests will be uttered after the castle is taken, There are cities m tile 10an(1 were t~he Sab bathl has almost perished, and it is be coming a plractical quiestion whlether wi who receivedl a pure Sabbath from till hands of our fathers shlall have piety ani pluck enough to give to our children th same blesssd itnheritance. The oterna God helping us we ill! I protest, agaInst this luvasionI of tI holy Sabbath in the first place becausm it is a war on dlvine enactmuent. Gloc says in Isaiah, "If thou turn away thl foot from doing thy leasure on my hola day, thou shalt walk upon the hiigh places," What did he mean by "'doinf thy pleasure?" ie referred to seculam and worldly amusements. A manii told me he was never somuich frightened asi in tile midst of ati earthquake, when the beasts of thle field b~ellowedl in fear and even the barnyard fowls screamed in ter ror. Well it was when the earth was shaking and the sky was all 11111 of fire that God made tile great annoulncemlenlt, "Remember the Sabbath day to keel) it holy." Go through thle streets where the tlieaters are open on a Sabbath night; go up on the steps; eniter the boxes of those places of entertaiment, and( tell me it that is keeping the Sabbathl holy. "Oh," says some one, "God won'4 h~e displeased with a grand sacred concert." A gentleman who was present at a grand sacred concert",one Sabbath night in one of tile thleaters of' our great cities said that during tile exercises thlere were comic and sentimental songs mnterspersedl with coarse jokes, and there were dan cesn, and a farce, and tight, rope walking, and a trapeze performance. I sup~pose It was a holy dance and a consecratedf tight rope. This is what they call a "grand sacred concert." We hear a great deal of talk about "the rIghts of the people" to have just such amusements onl Suaday as they want to have. I wonder if the Lord office, yesterday gave the press the fo] 'i lowing self-explanatory card: i see it reported in the papers toda: lathat Senator .John Gary .Evans said a ' Chesterfield yesterday that I approach >u him with poor mouth as to my salary e8 Mr. Evans is entirely mistaken if h< 3g made such statement. What I (lid I at was to call his and other members o e- the general assembly's attention to th< unjust and apparently spiteful disceimn a-- inations in the Senate salary bill 0 ir, 1892. I mentioned the special discrim a-. ination against the odfice of CJomptroll to er General. This bill fixed his salar: Sas $1,900 and current expenses at $1 d350. This was to all intents and pi poses an addition of the office; the rea -purpose of the same was to give th olilcee$2,700 when tip to Gon. Ellorbe' term it took $4,200. This same Senat ~-bill gave the State Treasurer's oflce$4 re 200 when it had before received $4,50 ur and left the salary of treasurer at $2 se 100. 'lhe treasurer did rnot have an; et, more force than he absolutely needet lt and the work in tihe Comptrolle ve General's ofice exceeds that of th to State Treasurer. nThe force in the Comptroller Geon toeral's office has been made $3,400 C $o 800 less each year than it took unde 'C the former administration, or a savln] of $1,200 for the four years. Thi :e4, has been saved notwithstandin ry the extra work Imposed by thi tie bank and railroad litigation. Ur ty der the circumstances I di o-- think the Senate bill unfair, unjus ty and damaging to the public service a ey represented by the Comptroller Gene: ir al's office and I felt,coming,as I undel of stood the bill did, from a Senator wb was a director and a lawer far one o these railroads fighting the administra ortion, that It was spiteftul to the exten rof its application to the ofilce of thi ' Comptrole General. There were othe id gross inequalities in the bill which le mentioned even to the ways andi mean id committee of the House. The audit ir or and treasurerer of Charleston coun in ty receive salaries larger than tht >r Comptroller General and the Stat he Treasurer. These officials get twic what the same officials of Spartaniburj r get and do no mere or little mor a work. Respectfully, 0James'Norten. s P'assed the House. ~e WNSHINGTON, June 22.--At 41:4 t o'clock this afternoon the anti-optin t bill passed the House by a vote an e nounced to be yeas 150, nays 87, presen o and net voting 1, This result was reach d ed after two hours consideration of th n amendments to the bill, under the flyt 1 minute rule and an hour's speech bi )Hatch, the aut~hor of the bill su'nming d up the arguments in Its favor. n The bill, ab finally passed, was thi ~t bill that came from the committee o1 Is agriculture, with the single addition c e dour to the list of articles which may no 11 be traded in.

Tho Sad atre that Be,teI 1 Vonfederate soldier. PONTOTO, Miss., Dec. 27th, 1893. To the Unitefd Cantederate Veterans and all charitably disposed persons and friends. My Dear Comrades: I was Captain of Company G. 45th Miss. Regt. Wood's and M. P. L'wry's Brigade, Pat Cle burne's Division in the late war be tween th, States. I was fearfully wounded and disabled in the great and memorable battle of Chickamauga, bept. 20, 1863. When In command of my company in front of the enemies' lines and temporary works, andi under a heavy lire of shot and shell, I had the misfortune of havitng my under jaw, upper teeth, 'and part of my tongue shot away, and my face terribly mutilated by the explosion of a shell from the enemies' guns. Since which time I have had to lie on my back when taking my meals and fed by others on fluids. I cannot masticate any food whatever. Notwithstanding my unfortunate and irreparable condi tion, I managed so as to support my self and family for 25 years, but ant unable to do so longer without assist ance. Comrades, I dislike to beg. I had rather that it were different, but I can not help it. I received this ugly and unfortunate wound in a just and lion orable cause. I did my duty in defend ing our beloved Sunny Southland homes, property, and firesides. Will you please see to it that myself and family do not suffer for the necessaries of life? I have a wife and two daugh ters dependent on me for a support; and one of the daughters has been an invalid for the past eighteen years. P)ease contribute something to our re lief, and I assure you that the amount will be greatfully appreciated by us. Your comrade, [Signed. j JOHN M. SLOAN. I fully endorse the within statement of Capt. J. N. Sloan. Ile is very poor, a good moral man, law-abiding citizen, and merits all that can be done for him. [Signed. C. 13. MIT011ELL. FRANK SAUTEI. SUMMT, Miss., Jan. 4, 1894. I was the chaplain of the 45th Miss, Itegt. I saw Capt. Sloan on the field of Chickamauga, Sept. 20, 1863. Four surgeons pronounced his case hopeless, The chin dangled in front of the breast, the shell made a gash from the outer edge of the right eye to the corner of the mouth. From Sunday noon un til Tuesday about 2 p. m. no relief was given him-not a drop of water could be given him. I obtained private physicians from Ringold, Ga. They cut away the chio, and sewed the nose to the face. An old physician who had served in the Mexican War, and who saw him said that he knew of only one man similarly wounded on record. Capt. Sloan was frightfully mutilated. Over 30 years, he lies down supinely three times a day on two chairs and is a child. I have made several efforts in his behalf. To the last, the first response came from Ilon. G. F. Bowles, of Natchez, a negro, a representative of Adams county. Ile sent $25. The next came from Mrs. Sarah E. Mar shall, from Bartow, on the sound, Westchester county, N. Y. She sent $10 to me through the Rev. Dr. Strat ton, of Natchez, Miss., and $10 direct to me from her home. Dear Comrades of the Lost Cause! I know not how to commend my friend to your generous consideration. He is now an old man, he has an afflicted family, he is poor, and he himself is fearfully distigured in the face. I am sure as long as there are surviving Confederate solers, who can aid Capt. Sloan ought not to suffer for material comforts. Shall we not let in a little sunshine into this dreary home? [Signed.]1 CirAs. II, OTK~EN. CIRCUL!A R.

DENVER, June 21.-Adjt Gen Tars ney is safe at home not much the mi worse for his adventures wili the ilt masked men yesterday. Ile has some be blisters, caused by the too liberal use m of coaloil to free him from the tar, but di he will suffer no serious harm. When be he was turned loose, after the tar and m feathers had been applied, his face was pa turned toward Palmer Lake and be ov was told never to show his face in Crip- th pie Creek or Colorado Springs again. th Ile walked fourteen miles before he yo applied for aid at a ranch house. IHelp d& was promptly given him. After the tar na was removed a man who had been one So of the Cripple Creek deputies took him su to Palmer Lake in his buggy, and eri thence he came by rail to Denver. fa A mass meeting of about fifty thous- cu and people was held in Lincoln Park in this afternoon to condemn, the outrage TI p erpetrated upon Adjt Gen Tarsney w baturday morning in Colorado Springs. W Governor Waite was received with tumultuous applause and when he hot ly spoke his views of the outrage the crowd cheered wildly and cries of "Give it to them I" were frequently heard. 1tesolutions were adopted with a shout determining the punishment of the perpetrators and declaring that if the peace officers of Colorado Springs did not act some means would be made to bring the miscreants to justice. Governor Wait will issue a proclama tion to-morrow. Gen Tarsney was very weak to-day and still suffers keenly from his injuries. A story is current that five deputies went out of Denver on the night of the assault on Taraney, and returned the following day from the south. A paper was picked up at Palmer Lake containing a description of the assault and that Governor Waite would come next. 'hils World in 1loomy." BENNETTSVILLE, June 28.-Mr. U. i W. Wingate, a merchant of this town ' committed suicide this morning about i half past nine o'clock by cutting his throat with a razor. Ile had beon un well for a few days and was despond ent on account of money stringency. Ile spent a sleepless night, and early this morning called on druggist Doug las and purchased a two ounce bottle of laudanum, stating that he wanted I it for his wife. Ile went to his store and was seen there until 9 o'clock. Soon afterwards he was discovered, through a window, under the counter in a pool of blood, with an open razor neae him, . and the empty laudanum bottle on the counter. The door was locked with * the key on the inside, in the lock. Coroner Sampson was at onc notitled. u An entrance was effected. Mr. Win. k gate was found to be dead. A jury was empaneled and several wit- w nesses examined. An unfinished letter dated June 28, was found on the dead man's person, which read as follows: "Dear Della: This world is gloomy and my troubles are crushing me and you and the children. It is best for me to leave this world." Ilis wife's name ia Della. The sup position is that he drank the laudanum, ' and that drug not taking effect as soon i as he desired he determined to use his razor. The verdict was that he came to a his death by a razor wound at his own hands. Mr. Wingate was about 40 years of age and leaves a wife and flVe children. Ile married a niece of Judge C. P.
