LESSONS TAUGHT BI THE DELUGE
tSrXCHI. TXX.EOXAX TO TBI DtSPATCO.1
Bbookltx, June 8. This is Sacramental
and Baptismal Day with the Tabernacle
oongregation, an occasion of especial im
pressiveness. The children were baptized
before the sermon and the sacrament admin
istered after sermon. The snbject of Dr.
Talmage's discourse was, "All Troubles
Past;" and the text, EeTelation iv: 3, "There
was a rainbow ronnd about the throne."
Following is the sermon:
As, after a night of fearful tempest at sea,
one ship, more stanch than another, rides on
undamaged among the fragments of spars and
hulks that float about, so old Noah's ark; at the
close of the deluge, floats on over the wreck of
a dead, world. Looking out of the window of
the ark, you see the planks of houses, and the
sheaves of wheat, and the carcasses of cattle,
and the corpses of men. No tower is left to toll
the burial; no mourners to form in line of pro.
cession; no ground on which to bury the dead.
Sinking a line 27 feet lone you Just touch the
tops of the mountains. Gh&stliness and horror!
The ark, instead of walking the sea, like a
modern ship. In majesty and beauty, tosses
helplessly; no helm to guide; no sail to set; no
shore to steer for. Why protract the agony of
the good peoDle in such a craft, when they
might in one dash of the wave hare been put
out of their misery!
But at yonder spot in the horizon we see
colors gathering In the sky; at Just the oppo
site point in the honzon other colors are gath
ering. I And that they are the two buttresses
of an arched bridge. The yellow, the red, the
orange, the blue, the indigo, tho violet are
mingled, and by invisible hands the whole
structure is hung into the sky, and the ark has
a triumphal arch to sail under. An angel of
light swings his hand across the sky. and in the
seven prismatic colors he paints with pencil of
sunbeam the everlasting covenant between God
and every living creature. God lifted up that
great arched bridge, and set it over His own
head in the heaven. John sjiw it, for he says.
"Ihere was a rainbow round about the throne."
THE BOW AFIEK THE STOEM.
I notice that none but the people who were in
the ark saw the rainbow. It cast its shadow
clear down into the water where the people
were buried, and lighted np the deadfaces with
a strange radiance, but they could not see it.
So only those who are at last fonnd in Christ;
the Ark, will see the overspannlng glories of
the throne. Hence youhad better get into the
Ark! As you call your family ont at the close
of the shower to show them the sign in heaven,
so I want you all at last to sec the grander rain
bow round about the throne. "Look there!" says
Noah to his wife, "at that bow in the clouds;
and, Shem and Janhet, look! look! the green,
the yellow, the red and the orange!" I should
not wonder if some of your own children in the
Good Land should after a wbile cry ti you,
"Look, father! look, mother! there is a rainbow
round about the throne!" Yon had better get
into the Ark, with all your families, if you want
to see it.
I notice also that the chief glory of God
comes after the rain. No shower, no rainbow;
no trouble, no brightness of Christian consola
tion. Weavers are sometimes, by reason of
their work, dusty and rough in their apparel;
and so it is the coarse-clad tempest, whose hand
and toot swing the shuttle, th at weaves the
rainbow. Many Christians are drill, and stupid,
and useless because they have not had disaster
enough to wake them up. The brightest scarf
that heaven makes is thrown over the shoulders
of the storm. Yon cannot malte a thorongh
Christian life ont of sunshine alone. There are
some very dark hues in the rlbbo 3 of the rain
bow; you must have in life the blue as well as
the orange. Mingling all the colors of the
former makes a white light; and it takes all the
shades, ana saanesses, ana vicissitudes oi uie
to make the white luster of a pure Christian
character.
Your child asks you, "Father, what makes
the rainbow?" and you say, "It is the sunlight
striking through the ram drops." Therefore T
wonder how there could be a rainbow in
heaven, since there are no storms there; but
thefiT conclude that that rainbow must be
formed by the striking of heaven's sunlight
through the falling tears of earthly sorrow.
When we see a man overwhelmed with trouble,
and his health goes, and his property goes, and
his friends go, I say. "Now we shall see the
glory of God in this good man's deliverance."
As at Niagara Falls I saw, one day, ten rain
bows spanning the awful plunge of the cat
aract, so over the abyss of the Christian's trial
hover the rich-hued wings of all the promises.
A GLORIOUS XBTTTH.
I notice that the most beautiful things of
this world are to be preserved in heaven.
When you see the last color fade out from the
rainbow of earth, you need not feel sad, for
you will see the rainbow round about the
throne. That story abont the world burning
np has given me many a pang. When I read
that Paris was besieged, I said, "Now the pict
ures and statues in the Louvre and Luxem
bourg will be destroyed; all those faces of Rem
brandt, and those bold dashes of Rubens, and
those enchantments of Raphael on canvas, and
those statues of Canova." Hut is it not a more
melancholy thought that ruin is to come upon
this great glory of the earth, in which the
mountains are the chiseled sculptures, and
upon the sky, in which the transfigu
ration" of sunrise and sunset is hung
with loops and tassels of fire? I was re
lieved when I found that the pictures had
been removed from the Louvre and the
Luxembourg, and I am relieved now when I
think that the best parts of this earth are
either to be removed or pictured in the Good
Land. The tree must twist in the last fire the
oaks, and the cedars, and the maDles; but in
heaven there shall bo the trees of life on the
bank of the river, and the palm trees from
'Which the conquerors shall plnck their
branches. The Hudson, and the bt Lawrence,
and the Ohio shall boil in the last flame, but we
shall have more than their beauty in the river
of life from under the throne. The daisies, and
the portulaccas, and the roses of earth will
wither in the hot sirocco of the judgment, but
John tells us of the garlands which the glorified
Eball wear; ana there must be flowers, or there
could be no garlands.
The rainbow on our sky, which is only the
pillow of the dying storm, must be removed;
but then, glory be to God! "there is a rainbow
round about the throne." I have but to look
up to the radiant arch above the throne of God
to assure myself that the most glorious things
of earth are to be preserved in heaven. Then
let the world burn; all that is worth saving will
be snatched ont of the fire.
I see the same truth set forth in the twelve
foundations of the wall of heaven. St. John
announces the twelve foundations of this wall
to be, the nnt, of jasper yellow and red; the
second, of sapphire a deep blue; the third, a
chalcedony a varied beautv: the fourth, em
eralda bright green colon'lhe fifth, sardonyx
a bluish white; the sixth, eardius red and
fiery; the seventh, chrysolite golden-hued;
the eighth, beryl a blnish green; the ninth,
topaz a pale green mixed with yellow; the
tenth, chrysoprasus a golden bluish tint; the
eleventh, jacinth fiery as the sunset: the
twelfth, amethyst. But these precious stones
are only the foundation of the wall of heaven
the most inferior part of it. On the top of
this foundation there rises a mighty wall of
jasper of brilliant yellow and gorgeous crim
son, stupendous cataract of colorl Throne of
splendor and sublimity!
EARTHLY AND HEAYESXY BEATJTY.
You see that the beautiful colors which are
the robes of glory to our earth are to be for
ever preserved in this wall of heaven. Our
6kles of blue, which sometimes seem almost to
drop with richness of color, shall be glorified
and eternized in the deep everlasting blue of
tht fiery stone which forms the second founda
tion of the heavenly walL The green that
Sleeps on the brook's bank, and rides on the
sea-wave, and spreads its banners on the moun
tain top, shall be eternized in the emerald that
f07msthe fourth foundation of the heavenly
wail. The fiery gush of the morning; the con
flagration of the autumnal sunset, the electric
ity that -Shoots its forked tongue out of the
thunder-ci' 'id. the flame at whose breath Mos
rnw f ell and iEtnas burn, shall be eternized in
the fiery jasper. It seems as if all earthly
beauty were in one billow to be dashed up
against that wall of heaven; so that the most
beautiful things of .parth will be kept either in
the wall, or the foundation, or in the rainbow
round about the throne.
I notice the unspeakable attractiveness of
heaven. In other places the Bible tells us of
the floor or heaven the waters and the stones
and the fruits; bnt now St. John tells us of the
roof the frescoed "arch of eternity and the
rainbow round abont the throne. Get a ticket,
and, carelnlly guarded, you go into the royal
factory at Fans where the Gobelin tapestries of
the world are made, and see bow for years a
man will sit putting in and out a ball of colored
worsteds through the delicate threads, satisfied
If he can in a day make so much as a finger's
titea.th.pt beanty I or a king's canopy. Bat be
UholdXbewinv Lord, in one ho jr. with his two
bancs, twisted the tapestry, now swung above
theiihrone, into a rainbow of infinite glory.
Oawhat a place heaven must be! You have
heretofore looka at tho floor; this morning
take one glance at the celling.
I notice what must be the feeling of safety
among the people of heaven. Have you ever
Been a cloud burst There have been days
when it rained as if it would never stop. You
knew, if it kept on that way long, all the na
tions would be drowned: yet you had no appre
hension, for yon remember the Bow of Promise
painted on the cloud in Noah's time. Bo the
glorified have but to look to the arch around
the throne of the King to be reassured that the
deluge of trial is forever past. On earth,
THE DELUGE OP SIN
covers the tops of the highest mountains. I
heard an Alpine guide, amid the most stupend
ous evidences of God's power, sweafathis
mule as he stumbled In the pass. Yes. the de
luge of sin dashes over the top of the highest
mountain ranees. Revenge, drunkenness, im
piety, falsehood, blasphemy, are but different
waves of a flood that has whelmed nations.
New York is drowned in it, Broociyn Is
drowned In it, Boston is drowned in it, London
is drowned in it, St. Petersburg is drowned in
it two great hemispheres are drowned in it.
But the redeemed, looking unto the "rainbow
round abont the throne," see the pledge that
all this IS ended for them forever.
They have committed their last sin, and com
bated their last temptation. No suicide leaps
into those bright waters; no profanity befouls
that pure air: no villain's torch shall Are those
temples; no murderer's hand shall strike down
those sons of God. They know that for them
the deluge of sin is assuagod for "there is a
rainbow round about the throne."
Now the world is covered with a deluge of
blood. The nations are all the time either using
tho sword or sharpening it. The. factories of
the world are night and day manufacturing the
weaponry nf death. Throne against throne,
emDire against empire. The spirit of despot
ism and freedom at war in every land; despotic
America against free America, despotic Eng
land against free England, despotic Germany
against free Germany, despotic Austria against
free Austria. The great battleof earth is being
fought the Armageddon of the nations. The
song that unrolled from the sky on the first
Chri6tmas night, of "peace and good will to
men," is drowned in the booming of the great
siege-guns. Stand back and let the long line
of ambnlances pass. Groan to groan. Un
cover, and look upon the trenches of the dead.
Blood! blood! a deluge of blood!
AFTEB EABIH'S SOBBOW3.
But the redeemed of heaven, looking upon
the glorious arch that spans the throne, shall
see that the deluge is over. No batteries are
planted on those hills; no barricades blocking
those streets; no hostile flag above these walls;
no smoke of burning villages; no shrieks of
butchered men; but peace! German and
Frenchman, who fell with arms interlocked in
hate on the field of death, now, through Christ
in heaven, stand with arms interlocked in love.
Arms stacked forever; shields of battle hung
up. The dove Instead of the eagle; the lamb
instead of the lion. There shall be nothing to
hurt or destroy in all God's holy mount, for
there is a rainbow round about the throne.
Now the earth is covered with a deluge of
sorrow. Trouble! trouble! Ihe very first ut
terance when we come into the world is a cry.
Without any teaching, we learn to weep. What
has so wrinkled that man's face 7 What has so
prematurely whitened his hairT What calls
out that sigh? What starts that tearf-Trouble!
trouble! I find It in the cellar of poverty, and
far up among the heights on the top of the
crags: for this also hath gone over the tops of
the highest mountains. No escape fiom it.
You go into the store, and it meets you at your
counting-desk; you go into the street, and it
meets you at the corner: you go into the house,
and it meets you at the door. Tears of poverty 1
tears of persecution! tears of bereavement! a
deluge of tears! Gathered together from all
the earth, they could float an ark larger than
Noah's. But the glorified, looking up to the
bow that spans the throne, shall see that the
deluge Is over. No shivering wreck on the pal
ace step; no blind man at the gate of the heav
enly temple, asking for alms; no grinding of
the screw-driver on coffin lid. They
LOOK UP AT THE BAIXBOW
and read, in lines of yellow and red and green
and blue and orange and indigo and violet,
""They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any
more; neither shall the snn light on them, nor
any heat; for the Lamb which is in the midst
ot the throns shall feed them, and shall lead
tbem unto living fountains of waters, and God
shall wipe away all tears from their, eyes."
Thank God for the glory spanning the throne!
In our boyhood we had a superstition that at
the foot of the rainbow there was a casket of
buried gold; but I have to announce that at the
foot of this rainbow of heaven there is a box
made out of the wood of the cross. Open It,
andyou find all the treasures of heaven.
Oh that our eyes may all look upon this bow
of promise, lifted by Christ's own hand! We
shall trace the separate lines of beauty across
the firmament. In the line of red I shall see
the blood of my Lord; in the bine, the bruises
that colored ills cheeE; in tne green, tne rresn
nessof His grace: in the violet. His humility;
in all that curve of beanty, the bend of His
right arm of love swnng over all the redeemed.
But mind what I told you at the beginning,
and what I tell you at the close that none but
Noah's family in the ark saw the rainbow, and
that only those who are at last in Christ shall
discover it amid the glories of heaven.
"Except a man oe born again, he cannot see
the kingdom of God."
HOME SECURITIES.
Everything on the Inactive List Except Clti
aen'a Traction Price and Ranees.
Stock trading Saturday was as narrow as
possible, being confined to Citizens' Traction,
of which 200 shares changed bands. The board
was covered with figures as usual on Saturday,
which served to make quotations If nothing
else. Buyers are still on the under side of the
market.
Banks and insurance shares were firm, with
a few showing advances. Allegheny Heating
Company was held higher. Bridgewater was
unchanged. Chartiers was offered down a
trifle. Philadelphia Gas was abont steady, and
Wheeling a shade better in the bidding. Cen
tral Traction was off a fraction, but Pittsburg
showed some improvement, as did Pleasant
Valley. Electric was down about . Switch
was steady.

Money was wanted to a moderate extent Sat
urday, bat the amount taken out was not large
enough to extinguish the surplus. Counter
business was of ordinary proportions. None
of the bank officers spoken to were able to tell
anything new. They expressed satisfaction
with the situation and outlook for the summer.
Although general trade moved along quietly
in the past week, it was sufficiently active to
score a gain in bank exchanges of rising $3,500,
000 over the corresponding week of 1S89. Such
proof of prosperity cannot be easily set aside.

A MOVING M0TJHTAIK.
It Travels Slowly Down the Columbia River
as If latent on Stopping It.
The Astorlan.1
A trareline mountain is found at the
Cascades of the Colombia. It is a triple
peaked mass of dark brown basalt, six or
eight miles in length where it fronts the
river, and rises to a height of almost 2,000
feet above the water.
That it is in motion is the last thought
which would be likely to suggest itself to
the mind of any one passing it; yet it is a
well-established fact that this entire moun
tain is moving slowly bnt steadily down the
river, as if it had a deliberate purpose some
time in the future to dam the Columbia and
form a great lake from the Cascades to the
Dalles. The Indian traditions indicate im
mense movements of the mountains here
abouts long before white men came to Ore
gon, and the early settlers, immigrants,
many of them from New England, gave the
above-described mountainous ridge the
name of "traveling mountain," or "sliding
mountain."
In its forward and downward movement
tne lorests along the base ot the ridge have
become submerged in the river. Large tree
stnbscan be seen standing deepjn the water
on this shore. The railway engineers and
the brakeraen find that the line of the rail
road which skirts the foot of the mountain
is being continually forced out of place. Ax
certain points the roadbed and rails have
been pushed eight or ten feet out of line in
the course of a few years.
Geologists attribute this s trance nhennm-
enon to tbe fact that the basalt, which con
stitutes tne duik oi tne mountain, rests on a
substratum of conglomerate, or of soft sand
stone, which the deep, swift current of the
mighty river is constantly wearing away, or
that this softer subrock is of itseli yielding,
at great depths, to the enormous weight of
the harder material above.

Office op The PixTSBtmo dispatch, i
8aturdat. June 7, 1S9Q. (
The boom in hides and calf skins noted in
this column a few weeks ago has subsided.
Dealers and packers, tried to make too much
of the boom and there has been a consequent
reaction. The speculative influence entered
into trade and spoiled a good thing. Tan
ners refused all the time to pay prices asked,
and dealers have at last come to their views,
which place prices e to Ho below asking
prices. As a result of this concession tan
ners are buying more freely and markets
are more active than they havo been lor a
few weeks past. The boom in hides and
calfskins was worked up for more than
there was in it, and we are now having the
consequent reaction. As it is light hides and
calf skins are lc per pound higher than they
were 60 days ago, and heavy hides are K
higher. Markets are now steady at these
rates.
Said a leading dealer to-day: "Hides and
calf skins have been entirely too low for a year
or two past. It is not over five years since green
calf skins sold at 12c to 13c per pound. Wtthin
a few months they went down to 5Kc Now
they are 7c, and markets are steady at the ad
vance. It is plain that the new-tangled imita
tions of calf skins, in tbe shape of grain leather,
imitation kangaroo leather, etc, are on the
wane, and that there is a disposition on the part
of the people to return to first principles and
use the old-fashioned calf skin for foot wear.
"Certain it is that there is a growing demand
for calf skins, and prices are steadily moving
up of late. The trouble is that speculators at
tempted to boom markets too fast on the late
rise, but there is no doubt tbat we are having a
legitimate advance, and that it will be a long
time, if ever, when prices will be so low as they
have been a year or two back."
Harness Lentnor.
Harness leather is steady at the late advance.
Allegheny tanners report active trade and no
accumulation of stock. Bald a representative
of one of the leading firms to-day: "Trade is as
good as could be desired. In fact, we find it
impossible to fill orders for assorted stocks,
and would be glad if trade would slacken up
for a month or so until we get a little stock
ahead. As it is we cannot Ml orders as prompt
ly as we would like."
F. W. Norcross. editor of the Shoe and
Leather Reporter, took In Pittsburg this week
on an extended business tour. He has visited
all the leading leather centers of the country,
and said: "I have never known the time when
stocks in the hands of dealers were as light as
they are now. There cannot be any change
bnt for the better in the present bare condition
of markets."
There is a strong undertone of confidence in
the future of tbe hide and leather trade in the
views of our leading manufacturers and deal
ers. A New Orleans Fruit Dealer Talks.
P. H. Nagele, of NewOrleans, a dealer in
fruits and nuts, paid his first visit to Pittsburg
this week. He was here to dispose of five car
loads of potatoes and two car loads of lemons.
In an Interview Mr. Nagele said: "In New Or
leans the fruit and vegetable trade is now very
quiet. The season is about over, and as I bad
some stuff on hands that I wished to dispose of,
in looking over the trade situation at N orthern
cities, 1 made up my mind that Pittsburg was
in as prosperous a condition as any other trade
center and so brought my stuff here. I have
discovered since my arrival that I did not make
a mistake. The signs of prosperity are every
where to be seen in your city. New potatoes
are now selling in New Orleans at SI 65 per bar
ret The freight on them to Pittsbnrg is 41c
per barrel, ana price nere now ior gooa siock is
S3 00. leaving a Calr profit after all expenses
are paid. Trade in our line has been extra
good in Now Orleans np till the past week or
two.
"Now with the advent of ihot weather, busl.
ness is quieting down and the next fewmonths,
until cold weather sets in, we will have our
dull season, when tbe principal business will
be the effort to keep cool."

Wheat Recovers n Part of Friday's toss
Corn Firmer nd Osts Steady Perk
Almost Entirely Neglected v
Ribs and Lard Lower.
CHICAGO There was a moderate trade In
wheat to-day, and part of yesterday's decline
was recovered. The market ruled steady most
of the session. The opening was about KOHc
higher than yesterday's closing, Improved from
the start, and prices advanced le for July and
2cforths other futures, eased off some
and closed about c higher for July. 3i"Ke
higher tor August and Beptember, and Jfc
higher for December.
The offerings were light most of the day and
the demand fair; in fact, a feature of tbe mar
ket was a lack ot any specially large trading
either in the buying or selling; The firmness
may possibly have been influenced by the re
ported taking of 12 loads of wheat at Duluth
to Montreal and rumored demand for Duluth
wheat on Buffalo account. Crop reports from
winter wheat sections continue bad.
Corn was trade in to a moderate extent with
a steady feeling, sbowing but little change in
S rices compared with yesterday. First sales of
ulywere a trifle above the closing yesterday,

Wall Street Speculators Keeping on Eye on
Silver Legislation In Congress The
Tresis the Only Bright Spot
In the Market.
New York, June 7. The stock market to
day, outside of the trusts and one or two
specialties, was an extremely limited one. and
the dealings and final changes for the most
part were without significance. The disposi
tion at present is to await the action on the
silver bill, and the trading to-day was confined
almost exclusively to tbe room traders, who
were Inclined to hammer stocks in the early
dealing on the expectation that the bank state
ment would show a decrease in the surplus re
serve. Tbe early demand was sufficient to
cause slight advances in some stocks after an
irregular opening, but tbe pressure later wiped
ont these gains and prices in most stocks re
tired slightly below those of the opening.
Louisville and Nashville was most conspicu
ous among the active stocks for its decline, but
it was only a Email fraction. St. Paul and
Atchison followed in point of activity, bnt
moved over a very narrow range, the excellent
showing ot the latter for May having no in
fluence whatever. Among tbe specialties
Quicksilver was tbe only one showing any
life, and the common rose 1 and tbe preferred
1, though both closed a little off from the
best figures.
Tbe trusts were tbe only active features to
the market, and Sugar while feverish and ir
regular was not so active as usual of late, and
finally scored a material improvement over
its. last night's price. Opening up 1JJ per
cent at 79, it retired to 78, and after some
violent fluctuations between the latter figure
and 80 it closed at 80- Chicago Gas was es
pecially strong and rose nearly 2 per cent on a
very moderate business. The close was firm at
significant changes. Sugar rose 2K, Chicago
Gas 2, and Quicksilver preferred! per cent.
There was about the usual amount of busi
ness In railroad bonds, the sales to-day aggre
gating 8679,000, while the market showed the
same lack of movement which has character
ized the dealings of late, even though the gen
eral tone was firm.
Government bonds have been dull and firm
for the 4s. State bonds have been neglected.
