TALHAGE'S LATEST LONDON SESSION.
London1, July 10. The sermon selected
- this -week by Dr. Talmage for publication is
from the text: Kev. vii.: 9-10. "After this
I beheld, and lo, a great mnltitnde which no
man conld number, of all nations, and kin
dreds, and people, and tongues, stood before
. the throne, and before the Lamb; clothed
with white robes, and palms in their hands;
and cried with a load voice, saying, Salva
tion to our God which sitteth upon the
throne, and unto the Lamb."
It is impossible to come in contact with
anything grand or beautiful in art, nature
or religion without being profited and ele
vated. TTe so into the art gallery, and onr
soul meets the soul of the painter, and we
"bear the hum of his forests and tho clash of
conflicts, and see the cloud-blossoming of
tho sky and the foam-blossoming of the
ocean; and we come out from the gallery
better than when we went In. We go Into
the concert of music and are lifted into
enchantment; for days after, our sonl seems
to rock with a very tumult of joy, as the sea,
after a long stress of weather, rolls and
rocks and surges a great while before it
comes back to its ordinary calm.
On the same principle it is profitable to
think of heaven, and look off upon that
landscape of Joy and light which St. John
depicts; the rivers of gladness the trees of
lite, the thrones of power, the commingllngs
"" of everlasting love.
A Ktal Gala Day In Heaven.
This account in my text gives a picture of
heaven as it is on a, holiday. -Now if a man
came to Xew York for the first time on the
day that Kossuth arrived from Hungary,
and he saw the arches lifted, and the flow
ers flung in the streets, and he heard the
guns booming, he would have been very
foolish to suppose that that was the ordinary
appearance ot the city. "While heaven is
always grand and always beautiful, I think
niv text speaks of a gala day in heaven.
It is a time of great celebration perhaps
ot the birth or tne resurrection ot Jos us;
perhaps ot the downfall of some despotism;
perhaps because of the rushing in of the mll
lenium. I know not what; but It does
seem to me in reading this passage as if it
were a holiday in heaven: "after till" I be
held, and, lo, a great multitude, which no
man could number, of all nations, and kin
dreds, ana people, and tongues, stood before
the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed in
white robes, and palms in their hands: and
cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to
our God which sitteth upon tho throne, and
unto the Lamb."
1 shall speak to vou of the glorified in
heaven their number, their antecedents,
their dress, their symbols, and their song.
But how shall I begin by telling you 01 the
numbers of those in heaven! I have been a
curious estimate by an ingenious man who
calculates how long the world was going to
last, and how many people there are in each
generation, and then sums up the whole
matter, and says he thinks there will be
27,000,000,000,0:0 of souls fn glory. I have no
,laith in his estimate. I simply take the
plain announcement of the text it Is "a
great multitude, which no man can num
ber." Truly, a TUagnlflcont Audience.
Every few years, in this country we take a
census of the population, and it is very easy
to tell how many people there are in a city
or in a nation; but who shall give the census
of the great nation or the saved? It is quite
easy to tell how many people there are in
different denominations of Christians how
tnanv Baptists and Methodists and Episco
palians and Presbyterians; of all the de
nominations of Christians we could make
an estimate. Supose they were gathered in
one great andience-room; bow overwhelm
ing the spectacle!
3ut It would give no idea of the great
audience-room of Heaven the multitudes
that bow down and that lilt up their lios
nnnas. Why they come rrom all the chapels,
from all the cathedrals, from all sects, from
all ages; they who prayed in splendid
litnrgy, and those who in broken sentences
uttered the wish of broken hearts from
Grace Church and Sailor's Bethel, from
under the shapeless rafters and lrom under
high-sprung arch "a great multitude, that
no man can number."
Tou may tar your imagination, and tor
tnre your ingenuity, and break down your
powers of calculation in attempting to ex
press the multitudes of the jeleased from
earth and the enraptured of Heaven, and
talk of hundreds of hundreds of hundreds:
of thousands ot thousands of thousands; of
millions of millions of millions; until your
head aches and your heart faints, and ex
liausted and overburdened you exclaim: "I
cannot count them a great multitude that
do man can number."
But my subject advances, and tells you of
their antecedents, "of all nations and
kindreds and tongues." Some of them
spoke Scotch, Irish, German, English,
Italian, Spanish, Tamil, Choctaw, Burmese.
The Most Cosmopolitan of Places.
These reaped Sicilian wheatflelds and
those picked cotton from the pods. These
under blistering skies gathered tamarinds
and yams. Those crossed the desert on
camels, and those glanced over the snow,
drawn by Siberian dogs, and these milked
the goats lar up on tne Swiss crags. These
fought the walrus and white bear in regions
"""of everlasting snow, and those heard the
- songs or fiery-winged birds in African
thickets. They were white. They were
- black. They were red. They were copper
color. From all lands, from all ages. 3,'uey
were plunged into Austrian dungeons. They
passed through Spanish inquisitions. They
were confined in London Tower. They
fought with beasts in the amphitheater.
They were Moravians. They ere Wal-
uenFes. xney were .Aioigense-!. Ther were
Scotch Covenanters.
Islanders.
xney were Sandwich
In this world men prefer different kinds of
government. The United States want a re-
Sublic The British Government needs to
e a constitutional monarchy. Austria
wants absolutism. But when they come up
from earth from different nationalities, they
will nrefer one great monarchy King Jesus
ruler over it. And if that monarchy Tteie
disbanded, and it were submitted to all the
boats of heaven who should rule, then bv the
unanimous suffrages of all the redeemed.
Christ would become the president of the
whole universe. Magna Cuartas, bills of
Tight, bonses or burgesses, trium
virates, congresses, parliaments nothing in
the presence of Christ's scepter, swaving
overall the people who have entered upon
that great glory. Oh! can you imagine itt
11 hat a strange commingling of tastes of
histories, of nationalise Vor all nations 'and
kindreds and people and tongues."
The Bobes ot the Heavenly Throng.
My subject advances and tells you of the
dress 01 those -In heaven. The object of
dress in this world Is not only to veil the
body, bnt to adorn It. The God who drossos
np the spring morning witn bine ribbon of
sky around the brow, and earrings of dew
drops hung from tree branch, and mantle of
crimson cloud flung over the shoulder, and
the violeted slippers of the grass for her
feet I know that God doos not despise
beautiful apparel. Well, what shall we wear
In heaveuT
"I saw a great multitude clothed In white
robes." It Is white! In this world we had
sometimes to have on working apparel.
Bright and lustrous garments would be
ridiculously out of Dlace sweltering amid
forges, or mixing paints, or plastering ceil
- ings, or binding books. In this world we
must have the working day apparel some
times and we care not how coarse it is. It
Is appropriate; but when all the toil of earth
is past, and there Is no more drudgery and
no more weariness, we shall stand before
the throne robed In white.
On earth we sometimes had to wear mourn
ing apparel. Kvcry second of every minute
of every hour of everv day a heart breaks.
The earth from zone to zone and from pole
to pole is clelt with seDulchral rent; and the
earth can easily afford to bloom and blossom
when it is so rich with mouldering life.
Graves! graves! graves! But when these
bereavements have all passed, and tbeieare
no more graves to dig, and no more coffins
to make, and no more sorrow to suffer, we
shall pull off this mourning and be robed In
white.
Tokens or Victory Carried by All.
My subject advances and tells yon, ofthe
symbols they carry. If my text had repre
sented the good in heaven as carrying
cypress branches, that wonld have meant
.sorrow. If my text had represented tho
good in heaven as carrying night-shade, that
wonld have meant sin. But it is a palm
branch they carry, and that is victory.
When the people came home from war in
olden times the conqueror roue at the head
of his troops, and there were triumphal
arches, and the people would come ont with
branches of the palm tree and wave them
all along the host. What a significant type
this ofthe greeting and of thejoy or the re
deemed In heaven! On earth they were con
demned and were put out of polite circles.
They had infamous hands strike thorn on
both cheeks. Infernal spite spat in their
faces. Their back ached with sorrow.
Their brow reeled with unallevlated toil.
How wearv they were! Sometimes they
broke the heart of the midnight in-the midst
of all their anguish, crying out, "O God!"
But hark now to the shout of the delivered
captives: as they lift their arms from the
shackles and they cry out, "Free! Free!"
They look back upon all the trials through
which thev have passed, the battles they
have fought, the burdens they carried, the
misrepresentations they suffered, and be
cause they are delivered from all these they
stand before God waving their palms. They
come to the feet of Christ and thev look op
in His lace, and they remember His sorrows,
and they remember His groans, and tbey
say: "Why, I was saved by that Christ.
He pardoned my sins, He soothed my sor
rows;" and standing there they shall be
oxnltant, waving their palms.
Only One Kind of Music There.
My subject makes another advancement,
and speaks of the song they sing. Dr. Dick,
in a very learned work, says that among
other things In heaven he thinks they will
give a great deal of time to the study of
arithmetic and the'higher branches of math
ematics. I do not believe it. It would un
set my idea of heaven lr I thought so. I
never liked mathematics, and I would
rather take the representation of my text,
which describes the occupation of heaven
as being Jovful psalmodv. "They cried with
a loud voice, saying, salvation unto our
Lord."
In this world we have secular songs, nurs
ery songs, boatmen's songs, harvest songs,
sentimental songs; but in heaven we will
have taste for only one song, aud that will
bo the song of salvation from an eternal
death to an eternal heaven, through the
blood of tho Lamb that was hlaln.
I see a soul coming up to join the redeemed
In heaven. As it goes through the gates, the
old friends of that spirit come around
it and say: "What shall we sine!" and tho
newly.arrived soul says: "Sing salvation;"
and after a while" an earthly despotism falls,
and a scepter Of Iniquity is" snapped, and
churches are built where once there were
superstitions mosque.", and angel cries to
angel: "Let us sing;" and the answer Is:
" hat shall we sing?" and another voice
says: "Let us sing salvation." And after a
while all the church on earth will rush Into
the outspread arms of the church of heaven,
and while the righteous are ascending, and
the world is burning, and all things are be
ing wound up, the question will be asked:
"What shall we sing?" and there will be a
voice "like the voice of many waters,
like the voice of mighty thunderings,"
that will respond: "Sing salvation."
Ko Flalntive Songs In Heaven.
In this world we have plaintive songs
songs tremulous with sorrow, songs dirge
ful for the dead; but In heaven there will be
no sighing of winds, no walling of anguish,
no weeping symphony. The tamest song
will be hallelujah the dullest tune a tri
umphal march. Joy among the cherubim!
Joy among the seraphim! Joy among the
ransomed! Joy forever!
On earth the music in ohnrcbes is often
poor, because there is no interest in it, or
because there is no harmony. Some would
not sing: some coma nor sing; some sang too
high; some sang too low; some sang by fits
and starts; but in the great audience of tho
redeemed on high all voices will be accord
ant, and the man who on earth could not
tell a plantation melody rrom the "Dead
March in Saul" win lift an anthem'tbat the
Mendelssohus and Beethovens and the
Schumanns of earth never imagined; and
you may stand through all eternity and
listen, and there will not be one discord in
that great anthem that forever rolls up
against the great heart of God. It will noc
be a boIo, it will not be a duet; it will not be
a quintette; but an innumerable host before
the throne, crying, '.'Salvation unto our God
and Unto the Lamb."
Oh! when I think of the song that goes np
around the throne of God, so jubilant, many,
voiced, multitudinous. 1 feel like savin?.
"Take heed of your ears." It is so loud a
song. It is so blessed an anthem. They sing
a lock song, Baying, "Who is he that sheltered
us in the wilderness, and shadowed us in a
wearv land?" And the chorus comes in:
"Christ the shadow of a rock In a weary
land."
Variety in Celestial Vocal Music.
They sing a star song, saying: "Who is he
that guided us through the thick night, and
when all other lights went out, arose In the
sky the morning star, pouring light on the
soul's darkness?" And the chorus will come
in: "Christ, the mornlng"star, shining on the
soul's darkness." They will sing a flower
song saying: "Who is he that brightened all
our way and breathed sweetness upon our
soul and bloomed through frost and tem
pest?" and the chorus will come in: "Christ
the lily of the valley, blooming through
frost and tempest." They sing a water song,
saying: ""Who Is he that eleamed to us from
the frowning crag and lightened the darkest
ravine of trouble and brought cooling to the
temples and refreshment to the lip, and was
a fountain in the midst of the wilderness?"
and then the chorus win oome In: "Christ,
the fountain in the midst of the wilderness."
My friends, will you Join that anthem?
Shall we make rehearsal this morning? If
we cannot sing that song on earth, we will
not be able to sing it in heaven. Can it be
that our good friends in that land will walk
all thiough that great throng of which I
speak, looking for ns and not finding us?
will they come down to the gate and ask if
we have passed through, and not finding us
reported as having come? Will they look
through the folios of eternal light and find
our names unrecorded. Is all this a repre
sentation of a land we shall never see? ot a
song wo shall never sing?

Amusing Exclamation of a Circus Manager
Whose Train Was Wrecked.
Dubuque, Ia., July 10. Cook &
Whitby's cirens train of 22 cars, en route
from "Prairie dn Chien, Wis., toMaquoketa,
la., was -passing Snv Ma-rill, six miles
below McGregor, at 2:45 o'clock this morn
ing, when a defective axle caused the
forward truck of the first car to break
Five cars were ditched and 30 horses killed.
In a car with 14 horses were a band of col
ored musicians. Every horse in the car
was killed outright, but all .the negroes
escaped except two, one of whom was hurt
dangerously, the other not seriously. The
loss falls upon the circus managers, as the
train was running not faster than ten miles
an hour and on a straight track It will
rnin the circus, and the manager, realizing
this, rushed about the wreck with tears in
his eves, shouting: "Just think of it! My
14 best horses killed and every one of these
darkies saved!"

SATURDAY'S PRODUCE MARKETS
CHIC AGO A startling sudden bulge in
provisions was the featnre yesterday on the
Board of Trade. The market has gone
down, scalping .trade tailing on for
still further decline in prices. The end of
the decline was reached this morning. Pork
for September was off to $11 45 from the $13
mark, September lard was at $7 07, and
ribs at $7 17K- They were lower yesterday,
and the trade played for another downward
turn with grain yesterday. But heavy sell
ing interests of yesterday quickly turned in
the last balf hour to the buying side. This
startled the trade and put the shorts In a
panic. There was a rush for nil product at
once. It took bidding at litglier prices to
get anything. Pork Jumped Sic to $11 80,
and closed $)1 72K- about 42)c better for the
day. Bibs rebounded 22c to $7 45 for Sep
temberclosing 15o higher atl$7, 37. Lard
was up 12c from last night at $7 20 lor Sep
tember. The leading futures ranged as follows, as cor

Fluctuations.

There was 'not enough business to talk
about. The market approached as near the
stagnation point as at any time in the his
tory of the trade.
Bearish influences were the labor troubles
at Homestead and a general indisposition
amOug outsiders to operate. Added to this,
the pipe lino, reports showed an Increase in
gross stocks of COO.OOO barrels. National
Transit acceptances increased 425,000.

STOCKS DULL BtJT FIRM.
A Poor Bank Statement Counts for Nothing;
Louisville and Nashville Alona In
Weakness No More Engagements for
Gold Shipments Railroad Bonds Quiet.
New York, July 9. The stock market was
again intensely dull, and, apart from the
trading.ln Burlington nnd Quincy and Louis
ville and Nashville, presented no feature of
any kind. A firm temper prevailed. The
expectation that further engagements of
gold would be made last night was disap
pointed, and a rumor that- the forthcoming
Government crop report wonld be favora
ble on corn were influential fact ors in the
movement; aud despite the fact that the
bank statement showed a material reduc
tion In the amount of cash held, as well as
the surplus. It went for nothing In view of
the strong position of the banks at present.
London was apparently a'seller of Louis
ville and Nashville, and at one time that
stock showed a loss of 1 per cent from its
last once of Friday, bnt it remained alone
in weakness, and other stocks steadily ap-
prcoiateu wiien tuere nus uusiness enouzn
to cause any change in quotations at all.
The market, on the whole, was firm from
opening to olose, while retaining Its pro-
iessionai cnaiacter.
The total sales of stocks to-dav were 57,767
shares, including Atchison, 3,320; Chicago
Gas. 1,570; Lake Shore. 6.000; Heading, 2,900;
St Paul, 8,600: Union Pacific, 8,300.
Ballroad bonds were very quiet, and on a
business of $424,000 showed lew changes of
note.

HOW MESSAGES ARE TEAKSM1TTED
It begins to seem probable that the time
Is rapidly, approaching when no daily news
paper office with pretensions to self-respect
will consider its appliances complete with
out a" pigeon-cotel says Poll Mall Budget,
of London. It appears that the electric
telegraph as a means of conveying news
over short distances is outdone by the
homing pigeon. Mr. A. G. Jeans, the
manager of that important Lancashire
paper, the Liverpool Daily Pott, is an astute
and resourceful gentleman, and it is now
under his segis that a highly elaborate and
successful system of transmitting news by
means of pigeons has been perfected. A
correspondent sends the following account
of a conversation with Mr. Jeans in his
managerial sanctum the other day:
The evening paper which has the fullest
and latest details sells its editions like wild
fire; and it was more completely to gratify
this ultra-Athenian appetite for news that
Mr. Jeans devised his system of pigeon
telegraph.
"I found," said Mr. Jeans, "that the elec
tive telegraph involved some degree of de
lay. Time was lost, it might be, through
the reporter having to wait his turn at the
telegraph office. Then there was the actual
time of transmission and of delivery from
the postoffice. It was suggested to me that
a pigeon service might do better.
The Experiment Proved Rather Costly.
"I thought the idea at all events worth a
trial, and I bonght some very fine homing
pigeons at the pretty stiff figure oi 2 per
pair. I had a really comfortable pigeon
house erected on the office roof, and acting
on the advice of practical men, j commenced
by keeping the birds confined about eight
of nine weeks in the hope that tbey wonld by
then have become quite accustomed to their
new surroundings, and regard themselves'
at home."
"And, in fact ?"
"The very first time they were let ont
tbey flew away. "We ilever saw them again.
Evidently the only method was to breed the
birds on the premises. I got other birds,
and allowed tnem to breed, and soon had
three or four dozen young fledglings, with
which I hoped to experiment more success
fully. That proved the right way. The
young birds were accustomed gradually to
liberty, and when allowed to flv free of the
building for the first time, to my huge satis
faction, they all returned after their flight
The next step was to develop their homing
instincts by gradually increasing the
flights. I had the birds conveyed in bas
kets a mile or two away and then liberated.
"The distances were increased until the
birds came home regularly from anv dis
tance up to 16 or 20 miles, and that Is the
limit beyond which their special usefulness
is at an end."
Not Practlcxbla for Over Twenty Miles.
"Why so?" I askod.
"Because at that point the telegraph beats
the pigeons," was Mr. Jeans' reply. Pro
ceeding to give details of the performances
of his interesting flock, Mr. Jeaus related
how the result ot the "Waterloo Cup run
some ten miles away in the country was
received in the daily Post office per pigeon,
and printed off in the evening paper, the
Echo, within nine minutes of the completion
of the deciding heat. The reporter, who
was accompanied by a lad carrying the bird
in a basket, had simply 10 dash on the mes
sage, commit it to the pigeon, and awav
sped the bird to the office. Bacing results
from Chester have been received In 22 min
utes, the speed of the bird being for short
distances maintained at the extraordinary
rate of a mile a minute.
"Do the bird never go astray?" I asked
Jfr. Jeans.
Ihe reply was accompanied by a heartv
laugh. "It is not quite all plain sailing,"
he said. "For instance, on the occasion of
the lost regatta of the Boyal Mersey Yacht
CInb I sent two pigeons on board the clnb
steamer, with instrnctlons for them to be
sent off with messages from the nprthwest
lightship and another turning point in the
race. They were duly dispatched, but tne
sub-editor waited in vain for news of the
race. One bird turned np late the next day.
The other never came back at all.
MCasaces Tied to the Birds' lga.
"Upon the whole they do their work
very satisfactorily. It is a little aggravat
ing, however, to see, as we occasionallv
have done, one of our birds, with the much
desiderated 'flimsy attached to its leg,
alight on the chimney ot our rival, the
Courier across the way, and calmly proceed
to preen its feathers, unconscious of onr
anxieties and disdainful of our artifices to
wheedle it home."
In further conversation, I learned that in
bnsy times, when football -or cricket
matches ere numerous, as many as 30
birds are sent out A boy accompanies the
reporter, taking two pigeons with him. The
message the birds carry is written in minute
characters on "flimsy" and attached by a
fine India rubber band to the bird's leg. The
birds are kept without food for some hours
before they are employed. Their homing
instinct is therefore stimulated by experi
ence that a feed of corn awaits them unon
arrival; and their cote is so arranged that
the birds themselves can enter by pushing
against a wire door, which closes automatic
ally when they have passed through, and
prevents egress again.
BISMARCK'S RECORD
Baked Tip by Caprtrl's Government, Beady
to Be Dropped Like a Bomb The Ex
Chancellor Warned to Let Up .in Ilia
War on the Emperor.
Berlin, July 10. A series of disclosures
giving the entire history of events from the
time of Prince Bismarck's dismissal from
the Chancellorship up to the present mo
ment, is now in progress of official prepara-.
tlon. The period of the publication ot the
work will depend upon Prince Bismarck's
fnrther utterances.' Everybody expects
that the Prince will continue his attacks
upon the Government.
Herr Hoffman, the political editor of the
Hamburger Haehrichlen, Bismarck's organ,
has been summoned to Kissingen to assist
the ex-Cbancellor in carrying on his fight
against the Government. Polemical Gov
ernment officers say that if Chancellor Von
Caprivi Is forced to resume his disclosures
regarding his predecessor, facts will be
brought to light that will not redonnd to
Prince Bismarck's credit.
The Prince's closest iriends and most in
timate associates heartily desire that the
fight shall come to an end. One of his
warmest supporters said to the Associated
Press representative that he would
rather see the ex-Chancellor die
than to see him pursue a course
which is certain to result in lost
ing discredit to his historic reputation.

Not every article assailing the Government!
can be ascribed to the Prince, bnt a the)
general tone of his organ accords wflh his
sentiments he con be held accountable for
them.
These rancorous personalities are havinaj
the effect of alienating the National Lib-
eral?, who have hitherto shown an'inclinaJ
tion to support he Prince. The Kreud
Zeliung prints an interesting semU
official statement that the week
before Prince Bismarck started for Tiennaj
the negotiations were being carried on for a
meeting between him and Emperor Willlaui
at fuel. -Lfle emperor naa an open mina
regarding the interview, but finding that the)
Prince insisted upon obtaining a prior
meeting and demanded certain explanations!
tantamount to an apology for his dismissal,
the Emperor withdrew his outs'tretcher
hand and declared that he would never
again countenance any attempt at a recon-
ciliation.
Beyond fighting the ex-Chancellorthrongh
communication in theHeiehsanzeiffer, the offi
cial organ, the Government is not now likely
to go. It is understood that the opinion ot
the Emperor is decidedly adverse to any
legal prosecution of the Prince.
