fervidness in rendering the "Rock ofj
Ages, the hrst really laminar hymn
Biinir bv tho revivalists. Tho big.
strong lungs of Sankoy could not pour
out a volumo of sound sufficient to be
distinguished over and above the song
ol the three thousand throats that
strained to sing the household hymn.
Noxt Mr. Moody read a portion of.
tho 32d chapter of Jeremiah, making
digressions in tho way of remarks that

17th verso, "Oh, Lord God, there is

about it, and 1 went toward tho man to

I knelt by his side and iirnyeil, but ho
never bowed his head, nor murmured

later another letter camo to mo telling

Hut it ain't preaching that Brooklyn

once had I permitted btr when sho
came tome and wept over her son, who
wub an unbeliever and a wanderer from

could not be with hor to attend the

Then the evangelist bv imticrcuiiti
ble degrees passed from a sermon to a
prayer, and one by one the beads of
tho congregation bowed roveronUy un
til there was not a luco raised. Jt was
a spontaneous act in response to the
ueauuiui uction ol tho sneaker, by
which the prayerful assembly had bcon
swayed.
"May tho blotmed Jesus incite you, to
a work in this country that will break
out whore it is not dreamed, that will
como from State to State, and that will
cover the nation. May tba hundreds
of thousands in Brooklyn be turned as
one man to God. May they be deliv

tho work of the flush, and may they
be guided by the snirit alone, so that
mo worn biiuii oo lusting, to live lor a
thousand years in this,a sovereign city.
Teach Thy servunts how to preach.
Hear the mothers' cries that their sons
and daughters may come into Thv fold.
Bless the Sunday School teachers, the
Sunday School Superintendents, tho
missionaries, tho coliwrteurs, and tho
tract distributors, and givo them assist
ance in their work."
At the olose of the nravor. Mr. Mood v
asked members of the congregation to
sjwak or to pray, and among those
who arose were tho Rev. Dr. Steele,
Mr. Stuart, Fred. Bell, the muscular
Christian, and a young mun whoisun-
auuaiauuniiy aaia to nave uecn rescued
from tho C hicago gutters by M r. M oody .
A peculiar rendering of "Come, iloiy
Spirit," was mado at the request of M r.
Sankoy, in which each singer modula
ted his voice to a gontle whisper, with
a combined effect stilling and im-
prumivo.
Mr. Stuart, of Philadelphia, in his
remarks said : "Philadelphia and
Brooklyn are united by aoord of Chris
tian sympathy tbat cannot be broken.
Yesterday 'God bless Brooklyn' wont

of Philadelphia, and from moro than

I he usually quiet little village of

a severe and prolonged tussle ensued.
whilst tho children were frightened,

that ho was severely scorched, if not

pulled him mi tho stove, but held on

HIS ENEMY AND IIIS IMS 1 11.
A correspondent writing front tho
Black Hills, gives tho following inter
estintr facta uhout ilia huffaliL Tim
Bocoubt reads liko a fancy sketch, hut
any wvnwru mail win tesiiiy to its
entire truthfulness :
Forty years ago the hiifTnlo rangod
the plains of Texas to beyond the
British lines, from tho Missouri and
Upper Mississippi to the enstorn slopes
of tho Rocky mountain.. . Kvery por
tion of this Immense area was either
the permanent homo ot great numbers
of bullulo, or might bo expected to
havo, oaeh year, one or more visits
from migratory thousands. Hunters'
tradition snys that the first great
broak in Ihis regular irregularity oc
curred about thu winter of 1N44-6 in
that portion ot the eountry known as
Larumio plains. That whole section
was visited by a most cxtrnoidinnry
snow storm. Contrary to the prece
dent, there was no wind, and the snow
covered the surface ovenly to the
lepth of nearly four feet
Immediately alter the storm a bright
sun sotlenod tho surface which at
night froze into a crust so firm that it
was wocks before any heavy animal
could mako headway ovqr it. The
tiaramie plains being entirely sur
rounded by mountains, had always
been a f'uvorito wintering place for
the buffalo. Thousands were caught
in this storm and perished miserably
by starvation. Sinco that time not a
singlo buffalo has ever visited tho
i.ai-atnio plains. hen I crossed these
plains in 18118, the whole country was
dotted with skulls of buffaloes, all ill
the last stsges of decomposition, and -all
apparently of the sumo age, giving
some foundation for tho tradition.
Indeed, it was in answer to myrequest for
explanation of the numbers, uppoarance
and identity of ago of the skulls that
the tradition was related to mo by an
oid hunter, who, however, could not
himself vouch for the facts.
A curious fact illustrating the habits
of these mnnurchs of the plains is cited
by our author, and is a leaf from the
era when the Pacifio railways first
spanned tho continent Tho winter ol
1871-2 was unusually severe in Ar
kansas. Tho tionds and the smaller
Btreams of the north were all frozen
solid, and tho bullulo were forced to
tho rivers for water.
The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fo
railroad was then in process of con
struction, and nowhere . could tho
peculiarity of the bullulo, of which I
am speaking, bo better studied than
from Us trains. If a herd was on tho
north sido of tho track il would stand
stupidly gazing and without symptom
of alarm, though tho locomotivo passed
within a hundred yards. If on tho
south sido of the track, even though at
a distanco of ono or two miles from it,
the passing of a train set tho whole
herd in tho wildest commotion. At its
full speed, and utterly regardless of
consequences, it would make for tho
track on its lino of retreat. If the
train was in tho way each individual
biillalo went at it with tho dosporation
of despair, plunging against or between
locomotive and car, just as the blind
madness chanced to tako them. Num
bers woro killed, but numbers still
pressed on to stop and stare as soon as
tho obstacle was passed.
After having trains ditched twice in
one week, conductors learned to havo
a vory decided respoct for tho idiosyn
crasies of tho buffalo, and when thero -
was a possibility ol striking sherd "on
Iho rampngo" fiir tho north sido of tho
track, tho train was slowed np and
sometimes stopped entirely. Late in
the summer of 1807 a herd of probably
4,000 buffalo attompted to cross tho
Southorn Platte near Plum crock. Tho
rivor was rapidly subsiding, being no
where over a foot or two iu depth, and
tho channels were filling with quick
sand. The buffalo in front were hope
lessly struck. Those immediately be
hind, urged by the horns and pressure
of those still further in Hie rear,
trampled over their struggling com
panions to bo themselves engulfed ill
the devouring sand. This was contin
ued until the bed of tho rivor, noarly
half a mile broad, waa covered with
dead and dying buffalo. Only a few
crossed tho river, and theso were soon
driven back by hunters. It was es
timated that considerably more than
half the herd, or over 2,000 buffalo
paid for this attempt with their lives
There is a vory marked and curious
difference between buffaloes and do
mcstio cattle. Tho cow seems to pos
seas scarcely a trace of material instinct,
and when frightened will abandon her
calf without the slightest hesitation.
