Rev. Dr. Talmage Talks of Peans of
Praise for the Victories of Peace.
The Triumphs of Husbandry Conquests of
the Pen.
WasnixaToN, D. C.—This discourse of
. Talmage is a national congratulation
over the achievements of brain and hand
during the past twelve months. The
texts are: I Corinthians ix, 10, “He that
ploweth shall plow in hope:” Isaiah xl.
7, “He that smootheth with the hammer;”
Judges v, 14, “They that handle the pen
of the writer.’
There is a table being spread across the
top of the two great ranges of mountains
which ridge this continent, a table which
reaches fron Atlantic to the Pacific
sea. :

their lanterns along the tracks of the Bos-

echoes crazy with their wild halloo or fish
in the waters of the still lake. Now tribes
challenge and council fires blaze, and wa
whoops ring, and chiefs lift the toma-
hawks for battle. After awhile wagons
from the Atlantic coast come to those
forecasts. By day trees are felled, and by
night bonfires keep off the wolves. Log
eabing rise, and the great trees begin to
throw their branches in the path of the
conquering white man. Farms are cleared.
Stumps, the monuments of slain forests,
crumble and are burned. Villages appear,
with smiths at the bellows, masons on the
wall, carpenters on the Fousetop. Churches
rise in honor of the Great Spirit whom
the red men ignorantly worship. Steamers

Soon until there the farmhouse stands.
In summer honeysuckles clamber over the
trellises. n cone side there stands a gar
den, which is only a farm condensed. On
the other side there is a stretch of meadow
land with thick grass, and as the wind
breathes over it it looks like the deep
green ocean waves. There goes a brook,
tarryving long in its windings, as if loath
to leave the spot where the reeds sing,
shadow of the weeping willows. In win-
ter the sled comes through the eracklin
snow with huge logs from the woods, anc
the barn floor quakes under the thumpings

I come next to speak of the conquests
of the American hammer. Its iron arm
has fought its way down from the begin-

city of Enoch rose, and the foundry of
Tubal Cain resounded, and th8 ark floated
on the deluge. At its clang ancient tem-
ples spread their magnificence and char-

fist smote the marble of Paros, and it rose

He Mad Another Brother.
Judge Crouse, Indian agent at White
River, Arizona, in a letter recently to L.
J. Rice, related a story told him at the
fort. Some time ago an officer stationed
there accidentally shot and killed al
friendly Apache. The officer regretted
the occurrence as deeply as if the victim
had been a white man. A human being
was a human being to him, whatever his |
color. Besides, he feared that the In- |
dizng might not regard the shooting as |
an accident and serious trouble might
€nsue,
The Indian had a brother, who came |
around the fort threatening an outbreak. |
He refused to accept the accident theory, |
and intimated the United States had put |
its foot in it through the action of its |
military representative, and had canceled |
all the friendly relations which
