From the Baltimore Sun. One of ilie most important papers read at the meting of the International Ifedical Congress, held in London, was that of II. Pasteur, the distinguished bioIfit, on certain discoveries of his which will enable j liysieiat.s to con vert vaccination fiom being an Isolated and empiric precaution into a wm isysicui of treatment, applicable to many kinriu of fever of both man and animals. His investigations have resulted not alone n preventives for four distinct violent diseases, luit in a knowledge of a meth od of preparing a vaccine for prevent ing fevers and many if Dot all con tagious lidcas3. M..: Pasteur, in his address u reported by the London Times, gives, in detail his discovery with respect to two diseases chicken cholera and. splenic fever. It will suffice to trace Li3 method of preparing a vaccine to prevent Ihp firt.: lie takes a chick en about to-die of the cholera and draws irom its veins a smaii quantity or. Diooa. . . 11 j . m . J Under the microscope this blood is seen ' to be full of small living creatures, ' shillings.' Then there was ft nobleman which, for want of a better name, we that doubted and said, 'This is all non sh all call microbes the name employed ' sense . And to him El sha retorted, by M.Pasteur. A drop of this blood is Thou shalt see it with thine eves, but pi teed in a close glass vessel contain- ing clear srrained, recently boiled broth, made from chicken or other flesh. Great precaution is taken to exclude the organic germs floating in the air; in fact the glass neck cf the vessel is closed with a plug of cotton, or is drawn out in a lamp flime and hermetically sealed. The glass vessel,' 6r flask, is kept at a temperature of about 55 de grees Fahrenheit. Its contents at first become turbid frtfm the growth of the microbes nourished by tho broth, but at the eoA of a couple ot days the thick ness of the broth disappears because tbe microbes have ceased to develop and have fallen to the bottom of the flask, and things will remain in this condition dmr months without either liquid or aedUitti undergoing any vis ible ctauge, provided the atmospheric germs are kept excluded. After an in terval of a month the flask is shaken to mingle its contents, and a drop from it is placed in a secMul flask, containing fresh broth. A crop af microbes is produced as before, followed by the same clearing of the liquid aud falling of sediment. The interval of a month's waiting is repeated, and a drop from this second flask is employed to pro- duce'microbes in a third, and so on un til there hua been,, say, a dozen crops of microbes raised. ' At the end of the process it will be found thajt the "cul tured microbes," to employ M. Pasteur's language.' are innocent, and, when-in troduced into the veins of a healthy chicken, fall to produce cholera, as their uncultured ancestors did, yet at the same time they prevent the chicken from catching the cholera. In a word, the cultured miprobe can bo useij' o vaccinate, and thus protect the farmer's chickens? from one of t-he worst diseases to which fowl fleli is heir. The ration ale of the process is that the vigor of the microbes is exhausted by any con siderable period of suspended anima tion, a month or less, and when the pro cess is ouen repeated me enreeoicu microbe loses the virulence of his pro genitors. The microbe which causes splenic feveT in sheep, &c, differ frm that producing cholera Jn its mode of e-rowth. but mar be "cultured" to a i . , , ., a ' - d.w . .. j j r to the one just narrated, the strict ex clusion of fresh air being ' in this - cao indispensable. It is the want of oxy gen which seems to: occasion the eu teeblemcnt of the microbe during its recurring, periods of suspended life. Mr. Robert James, who arrived This method of obtaining the vaccina in tins city yesterday from Chicot of splenic fever was no sooner made county, tells of a horrifying incident known than it was extensively emplyo-.

MR. TALMAOE TO SBEPTICS. HE BPBAKS SATIRICALLY OF CTJLTUTL ANK DECLARES HIS FIRM BELIEF IN E1RACXE8. New York World Sept 13. . In the Brooklyn Tabernacle yester day morning Mr. Talmage read as the lesson of the Jav the tenth chapter of First Kings, which contains the narra tive of the visit of the Queen of Sheba to King Solomon, and he commented upon the story as he proceded. "And all this story of pomp and riches and power," he said, "is to show the power of Jesus Christ : if it hadut been for that, there wouldn't have been a line of it in the Bible, and if it was not to show that. I wouldn't have rxal a word of it here." In bis opening prayer, Jlr. Tal mage thanked God that twice during the past week the efficacy of prayer had been made manifest, "first, said he, " in the improvement in thj condition of our wounded President, and, second, for sending the showers to water the earth." The text of the sei mn consisted of the first, second and twentieth verses cf the seventh chapter of Second JKings : "Then Elisha Jsaid, Hear ye tiie word of the Lord. To-morrow about this time shall a mesure of fine flour be sold for a shekel and two measures of barley for a shekel in the gate of Samaria. Then a lord on whose band the King leaned answered the man of God and said, Behold, if the Lord would m&ke windows in heaven, might this thing be ? An d he said, Beheld, thou shalt see it with thine eyes, but shalt not eatthereof. And so it fell out unto him, for the people trod upon him in the gate, and he died." The opting sentences of the sermon did not appear to have much connection with the text. "Thank God for the sUmvor of last night," btvriin Jlr. Talmage; "would ti-.at they might spread All "t cr tlmland. T. n thousand families homeless ; vast estates destroyed ; drought at the'Nortli, at the South, ut the East, at the West was there ever surli a tinie, in which fo preach a sermon about bread ?" Then taking up the t-xt he continued : Around Samari-t had been drawn the fiery girth of Atejrian vinditivenees ; Biege was laid to the city snd famine prevailed." Sir. Talmagecontrotel the effect of a modern bombardment of a city and that of the dull, prosaic, starving-out process of the olden time, and after describing the horror of the Assy rian siege of Samaria, he said : "It was at this, the darkest time, that Elisha came forth and eaid. To-morrow ends , fjjjg famine and in tbeee very streets you can buv a peck of fine flour for live t$,ou shalt not eat thereof.'" j. Mr. Talmage next told of the flight o the Assyrians and the relief of the cly and addcd 'Th2re waB one word I from every Jip, and that word was bread.' All took advantage of the fall 1 of prices, 6ave one man, and that was the sceptical nobleman, and , history says that he was caught in the rush of the paople and tjxey ran over him and trampled liim into tbe dust. Let us stop a moment at the fuuerrl of that man. I know hin," Baid Mr. Talmage J confidently, "you know him ; you can see him in every city in America ; Le seems to have died and boen resurrected. He was an out-and-our, rationalist. He said, 'There is no sign that the Assyrian host is goinw to raise the silage, and how can -we have cheap flour f" And there are always such men. They be lieve no more of Christ or of eternity than they can recognize with their little brain, not recognizing tiro fact that there are thousands of thing? that we believe, although we don't understand them. All that they believe in," con tinued Mr. Talmage satirically, " is de velopment or culture, pronouncing it as if it was spelled culchar. We are all, they say, decended from ffiboons, and are blued relations of the monkey on top of the organ. (Laughter.) .. Tbe worst thing a boi.t Ibis," said Mr. Tal mage mournfully,, "is that Christians cannot believe every word in the JSible, Go over fci Wfill , street (waving the conjjregatiem across the river) aud see how tnnfjfr bvisiiuis men you can find that will say, '1 beliovi; every word In the Bible. 'Yvu won't find 0Rf in five." The weaken t!(l C'iiristUn, Mr, Talmage &4id, tried to explain the miracle of tho Bible and to show that they were due to i tHtiral causes ; they had not courage to say that they were miraculous events. And in relation to Jonah and tbe whale Mr, Talmage shouted triumphantly' "Who made the whale? God. Who made Jonah? G"d. Then he could da what lie would to either of them. As soon as you diwmi&y the miraculous and the supernttturnl out of tlio Bible I tUHCnder it. I would prefer son's Fable for if yO'l fl'i.Y lo did not turn the water Into wine, did not divide the Bed 8ea and did not do all the many wonerfnl works mentioned In the Bible, then I declare thai the Bible i the worst fraud that was tiyqr perpetrated in all God's uni verse."

They seem to expect that the State will stand still and pay each year upon a basis which exists. Let them reflect that hero is a sum more than tho entire State debt bid upon a road whose most important connection is in Tennessee and whose tributary ter ritory is largely within this State, and that four years ago this road was not in existance. Ihis is but a single point in tho rapid develop ment oi Tennesse. There is also to be constructed a road from Cincin nati to Tennessee and through its territory, a road already provided lor by tho (Jole-lluntingon conven tion, which will equal and m the futuro excel in value tho Cincinnati Southern. Both theso roads have been called into existence by a pros pective growth which is certain enough to induce capital to invest in it.

Jr or very shame the people of Tennessee should bury theso corrupt and lossil persons, tho refuse from a past which is gone iorever by, so deep that resurrection will nover find them. A married lady was ill in an In diana town ' and the service oi a physician wero secured in order to restore her to health. Tho doctor thought she was by no means a hopeless case and that he could cure her if he could only have his own way with her. So he told her ho would make her well if she would elope with him. To this sho con sented and off thev went. The husband now has the happy satis faction of having his doctor's bill paid without any expenditure of cash, and he also has the pleasure of getting rid of a lady who must have been more of an incumbrance than a helpmate. When a women is as ready to run away as this Indiana wife seems to have been it is well to let her go and bo thankful for the good riddance. The Government is showing itself in earnest in ita dealing with Sitting Bull and the Sioux Indians. Yv hen the steamer arrived that was to take them from Standing Hock Agency to Fort Iiandall Sitting Bull bocamo A Infill ut and uniil lift would not iro on board. Ho was supported by the braves of his band, who prepared to figut. Mjionei Gisbert brought forward his cavalry and the war demonstrations of Sit ting Bull growing stronger, ho was summarily squelched by boing over powered and bound hand and foot and carried on board the steamer. The soldiers then surrounded the In dians and forced them step by step down tho bank of the river into the steamer. A nephew of Sitting Bull made some resistance, but ho was knocked down with the butt end of a musket by a soldior ho attacked. A squaw rondered desperate by the removal, killed her child and tried to commit suicide. As soon as all the Indians were ombarked tho boat steamed down the river to Fort Randall, where preparations have been made to quell any disturbance that may arise. North Carolina is eaid to have dis covered another gem. It is called the "hiddeoito." It U similar in color to the emerald, but harder and more brilliant. One vein only has been found, and that only two to two and a half inches wide and two feet deep. Tho cut stones sell read ily for $100 per karat, and the larg est yet found weighs five and three quarter karats. ; The "reported -anassacre of Gen.
