lion. Peter II. Tieman is a candidate for
the Legislature in Kansas City. The Be
publicans made no Domination against him.
His competitor is a Democrat, of no partic
ular prominence. In this situation of af
fairs we feel gratified in knowing that Mr.
Hernan will be elected by a large major
ity. Mr. Tiernan formerly represented this
city in the Councils, and in the Legiala
ture. Elected as a Democrat he served the
interests of all classes acceptably. He will
do the same for our neighboring city. He
He is a practical mechanic, the friend of
the workiogniaji, and al the same time the

the policy of building up a favored class

financial jxjlicj which makes it possible
for one man to escajie his just share of the
public burdens, and enjoy all the benefit
that the government affords, at the expense
of his neighbors ; it has oppo-ed the finan
cial policy which concentrates all the
wealth of the country in the hands of a
few great corporations, and grinds down
the millions of honest laborers into abject
lioverty. It has favored the policy of per
fect equality for all ; it has favored the
iHjIicy of so shaping our finances that the
man who labors shall receive enough for
his labor to afford him a comfortable living
for hiinFelf and his family ; it has favored
the jolicy of protecting the labor of the
country against the agressions of capital. It
has insisted that the burdens of government
should lie borne and its benefits enjoyed
equally by all. It has insisted that at all

Labor Convention, as having divided and

The Philadelphia Times publishes the
following special dispatch from Washing
ton in regard to the fortunes that have been
made in San Francisco since the specula
tive rise in mining securities took place
"An old army officer of rank has just re
turned here from San Francisco and says
the whole Pacific slojie is crazed over the
recent picking up of the stock market
Speculators have waited for years for a
market, and a large numKr of them were
what is known as deail-broke. Stock con
tinued to decline, dividends stopped, as
sessments began, and the failures among tlie
heavy operators were counties.-. A few of
tho richest weathered the storm, but every
body felt depressed and apprehensive. At
this time vengeance was sworn against the
bonanza firm, who had all the money on
the coast, and Mr. Flood, the head of the
firm, was afraid to be seen on the streets.
"The tremendouse rise in the Sierra Ne
vada, the I'tab, the Justice, the Union Con
solidated, and some of the other Nevada
stocks has sent everything a booming in
San Francisco again, and such wild scenes
have not occurred there for many years.
Everybody is rich again. Some marvelous
stories are told. One man, who have been
very rich, met with revert-es, and became
very poor during the past six months. His
house, his furniture, his credit, everything
was gone, and he was, as usual in such
caes, avoided by everybody. When the
gigantic ri-e in Sierra Nevada occurred he
happened to think he had given his wife
1,000 shares of that stock when it was only
worth 1 a share, and he never supposed it
would be worth more. He hunted up the
despised stock, sold it for $300 a share and
iKKkele.1 5300,000. Colonel W. F. Shaffer,
of New York, who has hid hard lines in

Contrary to expectation, and despite of
some melancholy predictions of a large bal
ance on the wrong eide, the gross revenue of
Great Britain and Ireland, for the year
ended on September o0, show a net increase
of JCS22.S04, compaitd with the correspond
ing receipts for the yaar 1S . The items
on which there has been an increase are
customs, land tax, and hou-e duty, proper
ty and income tax, postoffice and miscella
neous ; the decrease has been on excise,
stamps, and telegraph service. The whole
revenue for the year ended on the last dy
of September, 1878, was 79,797,671. About
one-third of this goes to pay the interest
(three per cent per annum) on the national
debt; another third towards the mainten

while those who p.s-i-a mere latter quali

Kcause means are lacking. Bui with sll
the abundance of resources, to dress well

experience, cultivation, quite as much to

When all the tinsel of the world

The long expected series of scrmorw on
the "Night Side of City Life," by the Bev
T. DeWitt Talmsge, D. D, was begun in
the Brooklyn TaKrnacle yete ntey morn
ing, .e sermon had been announced on
Sunday previous and dtiriiv the week.
This, couplet with the p-sior's plan of fir-t
exploring all the lnuuis of iniquity Kfore
preaching about tliera, drew together a lar
ger audience lhan the church had ever
held Kfore. Every seat was filled; the
aisles were blocked with camp stool-, the
vacant spaces under the gallerie- and be
hind the rows of pews were crowded with
standing auditors, and even the window
sills and railings inside the church afforded
room for late arrivals. The building held
over seven thousand per-ors, while surg
ing crowd of two thousand more blocked up
Schermerhorn street in front of the church,
preventing vehicles from passing. A great
proportion of the audience was comixs-ed of
voung men, and it was to them especially
that Mr. Talmage addressed his sermon.
IJut if anywhere were who went to hear any
aolO);y for vice or any gilding of its allure
ments thev were utterly disappointed. The
preacher "dealt rather in generalities, and
rarelv descendeel to detail. He portraved
the awful consequeccs of yu in some of ihe
most vigorous word painting of which he is
callable. His voice was clear and loud, so
that he could K easily heard by the crowd
in the corridors, and occasionally those otit
sids could catch portions of the tcrmon.
Aftr the u-ual preliminary eserci-cs
during which the immense assemblage sang
with vigor the hymns, "Ilevive us again,"
and Mcs-js, lover of my soul ;" and after
Arbuckle had played the usual cornet solo
Mr. Talmage arose and commenced his ser
mon. RESOLVED TO EXrlJRE. '
The text was taken from Ezekiel, viii. S
"Then said He unto me, son of man djg
now in the wall, and when I had diggeel in
the wall I Kheld a door, and he said, go in
nd behold the wicked abominations that
they do here. So I went iu and siw, and
beheld every form of .creeping things and
abominable Kasts."
So this minister of religion, liekiel, said
Mr. Talmage, is coininandeel to make ex
ploration of the sin of his day. lie did not
stand outside guessing what it was. He
did not say. "O, Lorel, I dare not go, please
let me off," but he went in and saw and re
ported I, as a minister of religion, felt I
had a divine commission to explore the
iniquities of our cities, so I went in, saw
and beheld.
As Mr. Talmage said this he out-tretched
his arms Kfore the people, as much as to
say, ''And here I am, to lell you all about
it," cati-icg great laughter and applause.
Brought up in this country, he continmd
I had never seen the hiding places of iniq
tiity until this autumn. By the grace of
God defended I have never sown any wild
oats. laughter. I somehow have Ken
able to tell from books something about the
iniquities of great cities, and to preach
against them. But I thought there mu-t be
an intimation alut them that had never
Ken spoken about, and I said, "I will ex
plore. I saw tens of thousands of men
going down, anil if there were a spiritual
concussion as well as a physical 'concussion
the whole air would K filled with the crack
and rumble and thunder of the demolition.
I found the gate of the cemetery where lost
souls arc hurried and I said, "I will ee
plore." I, as an officer of the army of Jes
us Christ went on this battle field. If joti
have a like commission, go ; if not, stay
away. Do I think this will induce others to
go there J I answer, ye-; just as the dcs.
criptinn of the yellow fever in Grenada
would lead people to go there-. I shall not
gild ihe iniquity, and while I shall not put
the faintest blu-h to the faire-t cheek, I
will kindle the cheeks of many a mm into
"a conflagration and will make his ears to
tingle. You say don't you know that the
pipers are critici-ing you'' I say yes, and
do you know how I L-el about it"' Ltngli
ter I tell you no living man is more in
debled to the newspajn-rs than I am. My
business is to preach the truth, and the
wider audience I get through the new-pi.
jer press the wider my field. As the secu
lar and religions papers of the newspaper
press of the I'nited States and the Canadas,
and of England and Ireland, and Scotland
and Australia, and New Zealand are giving
me every week 3,000,0u0 souls for an au
dience I am indebted to the pre-s anyhow.
So sla'h away, gentlemen. TLc mtiretlte

a dull time. Laughter. Brisk critici-m
is the crash Turkish towel with which ev
ery public man neeels every day to K
rubKd down to keep healthful circulition.
Give my love to all the editors, with full
lierniis-ion to run their steel pens clear
through my sermon from intrtdtiction to
application.
IN THE VALLEY OF HEATH.
It was ten o'clock of a calm, clear, sttrlit
night that our carriage rolled away withtis
from the mo-t Kautiful part of the city
down into the places where gambling and
crime and death hold dreadful carnival.
As the norses halted Tfe passed into a world
of which we were practically ignorant
Not many signs of death, but the dead were
there. As I moveil through these places I
s lid, "This is the home of lost souls." It
was a Dante's Inferno. Many things there
were to fill the eye with tears of pity. There
were moral corpses on the stair, corpses in
the gallery, coriM in the garden. Iyper
metlejier. but no handageel mouth kept
back the breath. I felt as though sitting
on an island coast against which a Etiro
clydon had driven a thousand dismasted
hulks, and every moment more blackened
hulks rolled in, and while I was waiting
for ihe going down of the storm and the
lull of the sea I Kthought myself, "This
is an everlasting storm ; these billows al
ways rage" On each carcass that strewed
the Kach already a vulture had alighted
the Ioog-Kakedfillhy vulture of despair
now iiecking into corruption and now on
its black wing wiping the blrxsl of a soul.
No lark, no robin, no chaffinch, but vul
turcs, vultures, vultures!
First of all I have to say that the acred
retort abont the magnificence of these
haunts of iniquity is apocryphal. I had
Ken told of masterpices of painting, mar
velous music, Kwitching fountains, impe
rial upholstery. Masterpieces ? There was
not a painting worth $5, laying aside the
frame. Great daubs of color a cross le
tween a chromo and a splash of paint Mu
sic? The homeliest creatures I ever saw
squawked discord, accompanied by planers
out of tune. Upholstery with two charac
teristics red and cheap Tinsel gew-gaws,
tawdriness, lrippery seemingly bought at
a second hand furniture store and never
paid for. Here and there was a poor soul
on which was the crown of Kanty, hut
nothing comparable with the Christian
loveliness which you may any day see on
our great thoroughfare. Young man, you
are a stark fool if you go to these places
of dissipation to hear music or see fine up
ho'stery or Kautiful and gracious counte
nances. However great the pretence, sin is
almost alway poor.
RURAL VICTIM'.
I have also, my friends, to report that
in my midnight exploration I saw what
amazed me more than.I can tell. It will
take pain to many hearts so far off I can
not comfort them. In all of these haunts
of inequity I found yonng men on whose
cheek was the ruddy coior of country
health. They had heard how gayly a boat
swings on the vt of the maelstrom, and
had ventured. On, my God ! will a few
weeks do such awlul work for a young
man? I saw such a young man when he
first confronted evil I saw him immovable,
as much as to say, "I am mightier than
sin." Then I saw him consulting with sin.
Then I saw him doubt and waver as the
shadow ot sad reflection crossed his
thoughts and some holy memory seemed lo
call him back. Goodness and sin had a
struggle, but sin triumphed. I saw him
surrender to darkness and death an ox to
the slaughter. Oh, my soul ! is this the
end of all the good advice? Has this
cluster from the country vineyard been
thrown into the great wine press, where
despair and "anguish and death tramped,
and the vintage u a vintage of blood? God
pity the country lad, unsuspecting and
so easily Ktrayed ! O young man from the
farmhouse among the hills, why are you so
bent on killing her who gave you birth ? I
see something on your forehead and on
your hands and on your feet. It is red.
What is it? The blood of a mother's
broken heart Of what did she die? The
farmer will ask as thev tie their hordes
the rail fence on the funeral day. It was
. ...tl. K rn...n.?An !... ...... ?
f-eifuei luiciiuuifiu ictel uvt eoiijr-eiuu,
i ncx old ff. In the ponderous book of A
God
it win be recorded lor ever
lasting ages to read, "You killed her."
Before I give ycu the last item of this
morning's di-course I want you to recognize
how unfair have Ken all the anticipated
remarks about this sermon, how unfair have
liven all the suppositions that I would so
portray sin that it would be made attrac
tive. I ask you fair minded men and wo
man whether I have not portrayed sin this
morning to be a creeping, disgusting tiling.
and so far from making young men go to
the-e places of iniquity I will ask you if it
has Ken the whole drift of my sermon to
dnve them away from sin? Before I get
through, by the help of the Eternal God, I
will save 10,000 men (aptdau-e) and in
execution of this mission I defy all eirth
and hell.
A PREAJI SOT ALL A DREAM.
But I was going to tell you of an inci
dent ot my exploration. As we passed out
of one of the-e places there passed me, go
ing in, a fare in which there was sorrow
only half covered ntt by an assumed joy.

the war besieged his hou-e and threatened

The Congressional campaign has never
Kfore been so prolific in candidates or com
plicated in issues. There are 203 Congres
sional Districts in the United States, and of
the-e fifty one have thus far elected Con
gressmen, leaving 1-12 districts as yet un
represented. In these districts should K,
under the rule of straight nominations, -i
candidates, but there are already oil can
didates for election, although 11T7 districts
are yet to complete nominations. When
these are filled, there will be nearly 1,000
candidates for Congress in the Novem'ier
election. The field is almost as badly mix
ed as the recent Parliamentary field in Ger
maay. There are Bepublicans, Independ
ent iUpublicans, Democrats, Independent
Democrats, Butler Democrat;, Greenback
ers, Independent Greenbackers, two or three
factions of Greenbackers distinguished from
the original by the names of their leaders,
Conservatives, People's candidates, Prohibi

escajie of the Cheyennes from their reserva
tion, immediately under the eyes of the
commanding officer at Fort Beno and the
Indian Agent near that point has cau-ed
much hot blood Ktween the rival friends of
the military and civil administration of In

the duty of the agents, who mingle with the
Iudiaas in their every-elay life, to keep ad-vi-ed
of their movements, and give the mil
itary timely notice when their services are
required. The agents claim that the com
manding officer has as much chance to
know the movements of the Indians as they.
In the meantime, in the midst of the wail
which comes from the relatives and friends
of the victims on the Sappa, the Beaver and
the Bepublican, there is a demand for an
investigation how such a body of Indians
could

remarkable that they have not been over
taken, encumKred as they are with all
their camp equipage and herds. The In

they were responsible on account of short

It is a common complaint that the farm
and farm life are not appreciated by our
people. We loDg for the more elegant pur
suits, or the ways and fashions of the town.
But the farmer has the most safe and natu
ral occupation, and ought to find life
sweeter, if less highly reasoned, than any
other. He alone, strictly speaking, has a
home. How can a man take root and
thrive without land? He writes his history
upon his field. How many ties, how many
resources he has ; bis friendships with his
cattle, Lis team, lib dog, his trees, the sat
isfaction in his growing crops, in his im
proved fields; his intimacy with Nature,
with birds and Kast, and with the quicken
ing elemental forces; his co-operations with
the cloud, the sun, the seasons, heat, wind,
rain, frost Nothing wUl take the va
