Tiews of Ancient Temples and Spots of IlalloKed Memory. "WORK FOK THE 110DEES CRUSADERS rfrECIJlI. TELEGltAM TO TM tlIBPA.TCH.1 BhooklY. October 12. This morninj Dr. Talniage delivered his third sermon on his recent tour in Palestine, iu the Academy of Music in this city. The large building was crowded, and numbers went away disap pointed. This was the more significant be cause it had been publicly announced that the same sermon would be preached in the evening at the Xeif York Academy which The Christian Herald had rented for that purpose. In spite of this fact, unprece dented since the days ot Chalmers, both buildings were crowded to excess, and many were turned away from the doors, both morning and evening. Br. Talmage must have preached to-day to 10,000 different persons. The doctor spoke as follows from the text: "If 1 lorget thee, O Jerusalem, let mv riht hand forget her cunning." I'salm'l37, v. Paraljsisof his best hand, the witheringof its muscles and nerves, is here iuvoked i the author allows to pass out of mind the grand eurs of the Holy City where once he dwelt. Jeiemiah, seated by the river Euphrates, wrote this psalm and not 'David. Afraid I am of any thing that approaches imprecation, and j et I tan understand how any one who has ever been at Jerusalem should, in enthusiasm of sonl cry out. whether he ue sitting; Dy tue tupurates, or the Hudson or the Thames, "It I forget thee, O Jerusalem, mav my nsilit hand forget her cuunincr You see, it is a cay unlike all others for topograph', for history, for significance, for st le "of population, for water works, for mins. for towels, lor domes, for ramparts, for literatuie, for tragedies, for memorable birth places. lor sepulchres, for conflagrations and famines, for victories and defeats. TLACES OF SACKED MEMORY. I am here at last in this very Jerusalen and on a housetop, just after the dawn of the morning of December 3, with an old inhabi tant to point out the salient features of the FCenery." "Son," I said, "where is Mount ZionT' "Here at jour right." "Where is Jluunt Olivet?" "In front of where you sMci" "Where is t! t G.irden of Gethsemaue?"' "In ondcr valley." "Where is Mount Cal varv?" Before he answered. I saw it. No un prejudiced mind can have a moment's doubt as towheie it is. Yonder 1 see a hill in the shape of a human skull and the Bible sajs that Calvary was the "place ot a skull." .Not only is it skull shaped, but just beneath the forehead ot the hill is a cavern that looks like eyeless sockets. "Within the grotto under It, is the shape of the msiae oi a sluii. men tue rsinie says mat Cnnst was crucified outside the gate, and this is outside the gate, while the site formerly selected was inside the gate. Beside that, this skull hill was for ages the place where malefac tors wcie put to death, and Christ was slain as a malefactor. The Savior's assassination took place beside a thoroughfare along which people went "wag ging their heads." and there is the ancient thoroughfare. 1 saw at Cairo, Egypt, a clay mold of that skul. hill made by the late Gen eral Gordon, the arbiter of nations. While Empress Helena. 0 jears of age, and imposed upon by having three crosses exhumed before her dim eyes, as though they were the three crosses ot Bible story, selected another site as Calvary, all recent tra elers agree that the one I point out to you was, without doubt, tbe scene of the most terrihe and overwhelming tragedy this planet ever w itnessed. There were a thousand things we wanted to see that third day of December, and our drago man proposed this, that and tbe other jour ney, but I said: "First of all. showusCaHary. (Something might happen it w c went clsew here and sickness or accident might hinder our see ing the sacred mount. If we see nothing else we must see that, and see it this morning." CLIMBING UP CALVAKr. Some of us in carriage and some on mule back, we were soon on the way to the most sa cred spot that the world has ever seen or ever will see. Coming to the base oi tbe hill we first went inside tbo skull of rock. It is called Jeremiah's grotto, lor tl.ere tbe prophet wrote his book of Lamentations. The" grotio is S3 feet high and its top and side are malachite, green, brown, black, white, red and gray. Coming forth frum those pictured subterra neous passages, we began to climb the steep sides of Calvary. Aswc go up, we sec cracks and crevices in the rocks which 1 think were made by tbe convulsions ot uatur: w hen Jesus died. On tbe bill lay a limestone rock, white but tinged with crimson, the u bite so suggestive of purity and the crimson of sacrifice, that I said. "That stone would be beautifully appro priate for a memorial wall iu my church, now building in America: and the stone now being bi ought on camel's back from Sinai across the desert, when put under it, hju significant of tbe law and the gospel! And these lips of stone will continue to speak of justice and mercy long after all our hung lips have uttered their last message." So I rolled it down the hill and transported it. When that day comes for which many of you have prayed the dedica tion ot the Btookln Tabernacle, the third im mense structuie we hate reared iu tins citv, and that makes it somen bat difficult being the third structure, a work such as no other church was ever called on to undertake we invite ou1 tn tue main entrance ot mat building 10 look upon a memorial wall containing the most sug gestive and solemn and tremendous antiquities ever brought together: this, rent witn the earthquake at the giving of the law at Sinai, the other rent at the crucifixion on Calvary. It is impossible for jou to realize what our emotious were as we gathered, a group of men and women, all saved by the blood of the Lamb, on a bluff of Calvary, just wide enough to con tain three crosses. I said to my family and friends: "1 think here is where stood the cress of the impenitent burglar, and there the cross of the miscreant, and here between, I think, stood the cross on w hich all our hopes depend." STORY OF CHRIST'S SUFFEKI.KaS. As I opened the xixchapterjof John to read a chill blast struck the bill and a cloud hovered, tbe natural solemnity impressing the spiritual solemnity. I read a little, but broke down. I defy any emotional Christian man sitting upon Golgotha to read aloud and with unbroken voice, or with any voice at all. the whole of that account in Luke and John, of which these senti ments are a fragment: 'They took Jesus and led Him away, and He bearing His cross went forth Inioa place called the place of a skull, where they crucilieo Him and two others with Him. on either side one, and Jesus in the midst;" "Behold thy motherP "I thirst;" "This day sbalt thou be with me iu Para dise:" "Father, forgive them, they know not what they do;" "It it be possible, let this cud pass from me." What sighs, what sobs, what teais, what tempests ol sorrow, what surging oceans .if ygony in these utterances! While we sat there, the whole scene came be fore us. All around the top and the sides, and the foot ot the hill, a mob rages. They gnash their teeth, and shake their clenched lists at him. Here the cavalry horses champ their bits, and paw the 'artb and snort at the smell of the carnage. Y.dera group of gamblers are pitching up as to - to shall have the coat of the dying Saviur. There are women almost dead with grief among the crowd. His mother and His aunt, and some whose sorrows Ue had comforted, and whose guilt He had pardoned. Here a man dipt a sponge into sour wine, and by a stick lifts it to tbe hot and cracked lips. Tbe hemorrhage of the Bve wounds has done its work. The atmospheric conditions are such as the world never saw before or since. It was not a solar eclipse, such as astronomers record or we ourselves have seen. It was a bereavement of the heavens. Darker! Until tbe towers of the teujiile were no longer visible. Darker! Until the surrounding hills disappeared. Darkerl Until the inscription above the middle cross became illegible. Darker! Until the chin of the dying Lord falls upon the breast, and he sighed with tnis last sigh, the words, "It Is fin ished!" as we sat there A SILENCE TOOK POSSESSION of us and we thought: this is the center from which continents have been touched, and aU the world shall yet be moved. Toward this hill, the piopbets pointed forward. Toward this lull, the apostles and martyrs pointed back ward. To ibis all heaven pointed downward. To this with foaming execrations ncrdiiion pointed upward. Kound it circles all" history, all time, alleternitj, and with this scene, paint ers have covered the mightiest canvas, and sculptors :ut the richest maible, and orches tras rolled their grandestoratorios,and churches lifted their greatest doxologies, and heaven built its highest thrones. Unable longer to endure tbe pressure of this scene, we moved on, and into a garden of olives, a gardeu which in the right season is lull of flowers, and here is the rcputtd tomb of Christ. You know the Book sav., "In the midst of tbe garden was a sepulchre." I think this was the garden, and this tbe sepulchre. It is shattered, of course. About four steps down we went into this, which seemed a family tomb. There Js room for about five bodies. We measured it, and found it' about eight feet hich. .ind nine feet wide, and fourteen feet long. The crvpt where I think ourLord slept was seven leet long, i tning tuawinere once lay laerung wrapped in his last number. On some ot these mcks the Roman government set its seal. At the gate or this mausoleum on the first EaBter morning, the angels rolled.tho .stone thunder ing down the hill. Up these steps walked the laceraterl fort nf the Conaneror. and from . these heights He looked off upon the city that had cast blm out, and upon tno world lie nau come to redeem and at the heavens through which He would soon ascend. But we must hasten back to the city. There are stones In the wall which Solomon had lifted. Stop here and see a startling proof of the truth of p.-ophecv. In Jeremiah, 81st chapter and 40th vcrse.lt is said that Jerusalem shall be built through the ashes. What ashes, people have been asking? Were those ashes just put into the prophecy to fill upT No! the meaning has been recently discovered. Jerusalem is now being built out in a certain direction where the ground has been submitted to vhemical an alvsis and it has been found to be the ashes cast out from the sacrifices of- tbe ancient tem ple, ashes of the wood and ashes of bones of animals. There are great mounds of ashes, accumulation of centuries of sacrifices. It has taken all these thousands of years to discover WHAT JEREMIAH MEANT when be said, "Behold tbe days shall come, saith the Lord, that the city shall be built to the Lord from the tower of Hananeel unto the gate of the corner, and the whole valley of the dead bodies and or the ashes." The people of Jerusalem are at this very time fulfilling that prophecy. One hantUul of that ashes on which they are building enough to prove the divinity of the Scriptures! Jas by the place where tbe cornerstone of the ancient temple was laid 3,000 ears ago by Solomon. Exploreis have been digging, and they found that cornerstone 75 feet beneath the surface. Itis 14 feet long. audS feet 8 inches high, and beautifully cut and shaped, and near it was an earthen jar that was supposed to have contained the oil of consecration used at the ceremony of laying the corner-stone. Yonder from a depth of 40 feet a signet ring has been brought up, inscribed with the words. "Hargai. the Son of Shcbnaiah," showing it belonged to tbe prophet Uaggai, and to that seal ring he re fers in his prophecy, saving, "I will make thee a signet." I walk further on far under ground, anil 1 find myself in Solomon's stables and see the places worn in the stone pillars by the hal ters of some of his 12,000 horses. Further on. look at the pillars on wbii'h Mount Moriah was built. Y'on know that the mountain was too small for tbe temple, and so they built the mountain out on pillars, and I saw eight of those pillars, each one strong enough to hold o mountain. Here we enter the Mosqne of Omar, a tbrono of Mohammedanism, where we are met at the door bv officials who bring slippers that we must put on before we take a step further, lest our feet pollute tbe sacred places. A man at tempting to go in without these slippers would be struck dead on the spot. These awkward sandals adjatted as well as we could, we are led to where we see a rock with an opening in it. through which, no doubt the blood of sac rifice in the ancient temple rolled down and away. At vast expense the mosque has been built, but so somber is tbe place 1 am glad to get through it and take off the cumbrous slip pers and step into tbe clear air. A SAD, SOLEMN SCENE. Yonder is a curve of stone which is part of a bridge which once reached from Mount Moriah to Mount Zion, and over it David walked or rode to prayers in the temple. Here is the wailing place of the Jews, where for centuries almost perpetually during the day time, whole generations of the Jews have stood putting their bead or lips against the wall of what was onceSolomonTs temple. It was one of the sad dest and most solemn and impressive scenes I ever witnessed to see scores of these descend ants of Abraham, with tears rolling down their cheeks and lips trembling with emotion, a book of psalms open before them, bewailing the ruin oi toe ancient tenipie ana tne captivity oi tneir race, and crying to God for tbe restoration of tlm rpmnlp In all its nritrinnl Rnlentlnr. But I must get back to the house-top, where I stood early this morning, and before tbe sun sets, that I may catch a wider vision of what the city now is and once was. Standing here on the bouse-top.1 see that the city was built for mili tary safety Only three miles journey round, and the three ancient towers. Hippicus, Fbasa leus, Mariatnne, frowning death upon the ap proach of all enemies As I stood there on tbe hoose-top,-ih the midst of the city. I said, "O Lord, reveal to me this metropolis of tbe world, that I may see it as it once appeared." -No one was with me. for there are some things you can see moro vividly with no one but God and yourself present. Im mediately the Mosqne of Omar, wnicti has stood for ages on Mount Moriah, tbe site of the ancient temple, disappeared and tbe most honored structure of all the ages lifted itself m the light and I saw it the temple, tbe ancient temple! 3 ot Solomon's Temple.but something grander tban that. Not Zernbbabel's temple, but something more gorgeous than that. It was Herod's temple, built for tbe one purpose of eclipsinpr all its architectural predecessors. There it stood, covering IB acres, and 10,C0O workmen had been 46 years in building It Blaze of magnificence! Bewildering range of porticos, and ten gateways, and double arcnes. and Corinthian capitals chiseled into lilies and acanthus. Masnnrv beveled and crooved into such delicate forms that it seemed to tremble in the light Cloisters with two rows of Cor intbiau columns, royal arches, marble steps Fure as though made out of frozen snow, carv ng that seemed like a panel of THE DOOR OF HEAVEN let down and set in, the facade of the building on shoulder) at each end lifting tho glory higher and higher, and walls ivherciu gold put out the silver, and the carbuncle put out the gold, and the jasper put' out the carbuncle, un til in tbe changing light they would all seem to come back again into a chorus of barmonions color. The temple! The temple! Doxology in stone! Anthems soaring in rafters of Leba non cedar! From side to side and from foun dation tn gilded pinnacle, tbe frozen prayer of all ages! From this house top on the December after noon we look out m another direction and I see tbo king's palace covering 160,000 square feet, three rows ot windows illumining the inside brilliance, the hallway wainscoted with all styles of colored marbles surmounted by ara besque. Vermillion and gold, looking down on mosaics, mnsic of waterfalls in the garden out side answering tbe mnsic of the harps thrummed Dy deft fingers inside; banisters over which princes and princesses leaned, and talked to kings and queens ascending the stair way. O Jerusalem, Jerusalem! Mountain citj! city of God! Joy of the whole earth! Stronger tban Gibraltar and Sebastopol surely it net er could have been captured. But while standing there on tbe housetop that December afternoon, I hear the crash of the 23 might sieges which have come against Jerusalem In the ages past Yonder is the pool of Hezekiah and Siloam, bnt again and again were those waters reddened with human gore. Yonder are the towers, out again and again they fall. Ycndcrare the high walls, but again and again they were leveled. To rob the treas ures from her temple and palace and dethrone this queen city of the earth, all nations plotted. David taking the throne at Hebron decides that he must have Jerusalem for bis caoital, and, coming up from the south at tbe head of 280.000 troops, be captures it Look, here comes another siege of Jerusalem! The Assyrians under Sennacherib, enslaved nations at his chariot wheel, having taken 200,000 cap tives in his one campaign. Phoenician cities kneeling at his feet. Egypt trembling at tbe flash of his sword, comes upon Jerusalem. FIGHTING FOR THE HOLY CITY. Look, another siege ! The armies of Babylon nuder Nebuchadnezzar come down and take a plunder from Jerusalem such as no other city ever had to yield, and 10,000 of her citizens trudge off into Babylonian bondage. Look, an other siege 1 and Nebuchadnezzar and his hosts by night go throngb abreacb of the Jerusalem wall, and the morning finds some of them seated triumphant in tbe temple, end what they could not take away, because too heavy, they break up the brazen sea, and tbe two wreathed pillars Jacbin and Boaz. Another siege of Jerusalem, end Fompey with the battering rams which lOOfaen would roll back, and then at full run forward would bang against the wall of tbe city, and catapults hurling the rocks upon the people, left 12,000 dead, and tbe city in the clutch of the Roman war eagle. Look, a more desperate siege of Jerusalem! Titus with his tenth legion on Mount of Olives, and ball 1st arranged on tbe principle, of the pendulum to .swing great boulders against walls and towers, and miners digging under the city making galleries of beams underground which, set on fire, tumbled great masses of booses and human beincs into destruction and death. All is taken now but tbe temple, and Titus, tbe conqueror, wants to save that unharmed, but a soldier, contrary to orders, hurls a torch into the temple and it is consumed. Many strangers were in the city at the time and 97.000 captives "were taken, and Josephus says L.100.0U0 lay dead. But looking from this housetop, the siege that most absorbs us is that of the Crusaders. With all tbe world looking on. the armies of Europe come within sight of Jerusalem. Then tbe battering-rams rolled, and tbe catapults swung, and tbe swords thrust aqd the carnage raged. Jerusalem tbo possession-of -Christendom. Bnt Saladin retook- tfie.city and Tor the last 400 years it has been 10 possession of cruel and polluted Mohammedanism! Another crusade is needed to start for Jerusa lem, a crusade in this nineteentb century greater tban all those of the past centuries put together. A crusade in which you and I will march. A crusade without weapons of death, but only the sword of the spirit A crusade that will make not a single wound or start one tear of distress nor incendiarize one home stead. A crusade of gospel peace! And the cross again be lifted on Calvary, not as once an instiumentotpain, but a signal of invitation, and tbe Mosque of Omar shall give place to a Church of Christ and Mount Zlon become the dwelling place not of David, but of David's Lord, and Jerusalem, purified of all Its Idola tries, and taking back the Christ she once cast out, shall be made a worthy type ot that heav enly city which Paul styled "the mother of us all," and which St John saw. "the holy Jerusa lem descending out of heaven from God." Through its gates we may all enter when our work is done, and in its temple, greater than all tbe earthly temples plied in one, may we worship. KANGAROO LEATHER Keeps Growing in Popularity as an Article of Foot 'Wear. LEATHER AKD BIDES STILL DULL Keceipts of Grain and Hay Were Terj Heavj for the Week. GENEEAL FEATDRES OP WEEK'S TRADE Office of Pittsburg Dispatch, J Saturday. October 11, 1890. Leather and Hides. The hide and leather situation is practic ally the same as it was a week at;o. If any difference, markets are weaker. Country hides are very slow at the decline already noticed in this column. Steer hides are selling at Jc per ponnd below prices of three weeks ago. The current number of the Shoe and Leather Review has this to say of the situatiou as to Chicago hide market: "The market is in a very mixed and pecul iar condition. Each packer has his own particular view of the situation in hides,and acts accordingly. It is admitted that stocks are not heavy in tbe hide cellars, as buy ers have been actively picking up what they wanted. Receipts are enormous; 91,000 cattle and calves arrived iu Chicago last week tbe largest on record. Besides selling bides for im mediate delivery, the packers seem anxious to sell futures to sustain markets." The Fashionable Leather. A Wood street shoe merchant said yesterday that the most popular material for footwear in the city is kangaroo skin. It comes pretty high, but produces a good effect and possesses excellent wearing qualities, having great tenacity of finer, and a thick, compact grain, which offers effective resistance to water. Some 6,000 kangaroo skins are received in Newark, N. J., every week, and all are tanned in one es tablishment in that city. Australia and New Zealand furnish kangaroo skins for tbe world. Tbe kangaroos are cap tured in Australia. Until about 1870 they were killed and eaten in Australia, and their skins cut up into shoestrings. Bui an Englishman named Brown in that year discovered tbe won derful consistencr of the grain in the leather. and brought several thousand skins to this country. He tried to sell tbem to the tanners, but they were shy of the novelty, and he finally sold tbem to a bookbinder at a sacrifice. The bookbinder made triangular corner pieces for lodgers and commercial books, and so discov ered the good quality of the leather. It was in this way that the trade became attracted to tbe kangaroo leatber. The great popularity, limited supply and high cost of kangaroo leather has been an in centive to tanners to rind some substitute, and after long experimenting imitations are being made from horse hides. Light and snready calfskins, classed as dcacous,' are also largely used for imitation kangaroo, and are a very de sirable substitute. They can be sold at one third the cost of the genuine. In Cereal Lines. It will be seen by reference to domestic mar ket column that receipts of grain and bay have been unusually large both this week and last, and nearly 70 cars in excess of tbe correspond ing period a year ago. The marked feature of tbe week has "been the great scarcity of shell corn. On account of scarcity each day bas shown an advance in prices. Dealers renort that there is plenty on tbe way. and a check to tbe upward movement is sure to borne within a few days. Notwithstanding liberal receipts oats are still firm, and drift nf markets is upward. Receipts of oats for tbe two weeks past, a bulletined at the Grain Exchange, were 195 cars. Hay bas weakened the past week owing to heavy receipts, and prices are lower, as was Eredictcd in this column a week ago. Packing ay was very scarce last week, but now there is plenty. There can be no shortage in tbe hay supply, as this season's yield beats all former records. In Produce Lines. Among the features of tbe week's trade are the upward tendency of markets for choice creamery butter and fresh eggs, and tbe downward movement of .garden stuff. Tbe weather bas been very favorable to gardens in this section, and as a result vegetables nf all kinds are in abundant supply, with markets lower all along tbe line, lomatoes, cabbage, turnips and radishes are seluom as low in price at this season of the year. There have as yet been no killing frosts In the vicinity of Pitts burg, and gardens are making up for lost time in tho spring, when weather was exceedingly unfavorable to gardens. Things even up in the long run, and we are now having the delay of wintry weather as an offset to the late spring. The frosts that kill arc usually here before October, but this season is au ex ception to tbe rule, as almost half of October is gone without any damage from frost to our home gardens Tomatoes have been selling at 50c per bushel for a few days past, a raro thing at this season in this latitude. Turnips and radishes are worth whatever they will bring. Tne buyer can almost name his price. Choice potatoes are almost as scarce as ben's teeth. Our market has been flooded of late with in terior stock, which does not yield enough to pay freight The wet fall has developed the potato crop to an unusual degree, but tl-e growth bas been too rapid to furnish the right quality. A Liberty street commission mercbantsaid: "The potatoes we are receiving of late look very nice, Tbe outside is very nice. The potatoes are very large, but they are like whited sepulchres with a pretty outside and corrupt within." The grape crop for this season has passed its best and prices are a shade firmer tban last week. LIVE STOCK MARKETS. Condition of Trade at the East Liberty Stock Yards.

The Government Crop Report a Sorprf80 to Both Bulls and Bears-A Scramble to Unload Polls Down tho Figures Pork Steady. CHICAGO Wheat The Government report on which the longs had so much faith to assist In advancing the martet was rather favorable to the shorts, at least was so construed, and tbe market ruled weaker and lower with tbe feeling considerably unsettled. Tho market opened lj.le lower than yesterday's closing figures, then rallied about Yfi, but again be came weak, prices declining 2e, advanced a trifle, rnled lirregular. and closed about 2JW Jc lower than yesterday. i'bere was a heavy pressure to sell, but at the same time demand was active, whicn tended to hold the market for some time, but later under continued heavy offerings, prices further declined from the opening figures. Trading was active, and there were a good many outside buying orders received. Corn Tho Government crop report was a great disappointment to the longs in corii. and at the opening there was a general scramble to unload. Lower prices were the rule on all fu tures. May in particular, most of the business being in this month. Tno hulk of the trading occurred during the first hour, the market opening with a loss of lAfS)c, and quickly sold off another K rallied, advancing Mc, and again became weak with a decline of l2c Oats There was a moderate volume of busi ness in Mav, but nothing of consequence in the other months.

NEW YORK STOCKS Dull In the Market, With Slight Fluctua tionsSlight Improvement in the Opening Downward Tendency Developed, However. New York, October 1L The stock market was dull to-day with slight fluctuations as a rule, and the final changes, while generally in the direction of lower prices, are slight in all the railroad stocks. The opening was made at small fractions better than last night's llgnres, and, while tho traders were inclined to discount an unfavorable bank, statement, causing slight losses in the early trading, tbe general temper soon became strong, and fractional advances were scored, with Union Pacific, Burlington and the Wheeling and Like Erie stocks most prominent for strength. The demand was not sufficient to maintain the improvement, how ever, and the sales of the traders on a dull market again developed the downward ten dency, which, however, mado but little progress until after tbe publication of the bank state ment. There was tben a more positive selling movement, and the final dealings were marked by more activity and a very weak tone. Sugar Refineries was the only really weak point in tbe market-some heavy selling being done for Boston,- account, and it scored a material decline before the close of business.
