Jesus deemed It Import lint to begin at th's time a disclosure of Ills future. 'I he apostles, while they uc opted Ills divinity and believed In Mm us the one foretold In Serlntuio (Matt, xvl. IS), did not understand ills mission. They looked for a temporal kingdom with Him at Its head and with them in Import out stations. (Murk .. 57.)

Or. Ilnally did he have in mind, what many cherished, the MesManlc gkuy of Jesus, coupled with the expectation that lie would assort himself ami subdue all adversaries and ascend the throne of l)ald? (l's.rlm II, !.) Whatever consideration may have tn llueneed the apostle It is evident that he assumed an earnest manner. He toik Jesus, probably drew Mm aside, remon strated with Mm. disapproved of the statement, and declaicd thnt nothing of the sort could occur, it Is lair to nssumo that ho was sincere In this matter, tor THE LATE BLANCHE BRUCE Hon He Itnso from the l.ot ol n Poor Slnve to a Sent in the Senate, ol the United Siatrx. Washington Letter. Chicago Record. The late Illanche K. llruce, register ' f the treasury, for many years was one ot the lorcmost u.en of his race In this country. During recntistiucilon days ho was elected to the l'nited States senate by the legislature of Mississippi, and v Idle serving ill that body he demon strated his Illness for the honor which lied been ennf urcd upon him. One of the mi st entertaining Incidents Illustrative of progress from poverty to position und luver In this republic was narrated to il, i) by a fot me r committee clerk of the t-enate. He said: "I went upon the Hour '.'' the senate one du to see Senator S'leiiei r. who was chainnan ot the coui niii'. 'i of which I was the eletk, and t ins I was present on the occasion when S'llator llosv, of Missouri. Introduced liimr-elf to Senator 111 nee, of Mississippi. nofivs attitfim:. "Senator Bogy was a pioud, .trlstc t it if man. descended from one of tho old p!ouoo' French lumllles ot tlie Miss insippl valley, lie was of distinguished presence, superior ability, exteiislvu travel and social culture, lie was unable to ac i ept with grace the changed conditions wliuii made the ileum eouiil with the white man before the law, it was Incom prehensible) to him that the freedioeu were human, or so approximately human as to attain distinction In national af fairs; and yet there was ivldence befire his eyes most exasperating evidence t nut the negro was developing Into citizen, ship, and also Into statesmanship: heic, updn the Kcpuhllcan side of the senate chamber, sat lilanclie K. Bruce, of .Miss. Isslppl. a member ot that body, with ull ot Its rights, privileges, honors and emol uments, possessing a vote upon all mat ters fully e juiil to his own. "Ilogy hnd never recognized llruce. He never spoke to him. never associated with him, and had oven exptessed surprise that Ids Republican. colleagues would recog nize the ex-slave. To him Hruce was not elevated to Ills equality by having bejn tleded to the senate by a sovereign state. On the contrary, although Hruco occu pied u seat on tho lloor of that august and distinguished legislative chamber, Bruee wus, to liogy, nothing more nor less than a negro, and nothing could alter that fact. Ms complexion was light, he wus gentlemanly, courteous and dlgidticd, but he was a negro, and his hair was kinky. brucks reception cold. "Although they passed and repassed .each other In tho corridors of the capltol, in hotel lobbies, In the senate chamber otherwise he would never Imve presumed to contradict his Mahler. RKPROOF. -Tho reply of Jesus lo Pet it's icmatks were deservedly sovero. (Verso 28.) It was Important to mnk,e tho man know his place, especially alter the. previous commendation (Mutt, xvl, Il ls.) it was also necessary to maintain Christ's llrst statement. There wero lour points In the reproof: 1. Jesus ordered i'eter to get behind Mm, to tuke the plnee of n learner, for all teachers woio lol lowed by their disciples. (Malt. Iv, I'D 2. He called him Satan, meaning not tho chief spirit of the evil world, i.loh 1. li,) but an adversary. (II S.im. .-six. 22.) ono who oppose, i!. He declared that I'eter was an offeueo to Mm, that his state ment wns calculated to defeat the pur pose of our Lord. -1. He said that I'eter was not moved by heavenly and Divine, but by earthly and human consideration", that he spoke without a knowledge ot (lod's purpose and plan'. Thrse four points show that the apostle was on it low plane, that he did not comprehend the (iospel. Ills mind had not been sat lleicntly Illuminated. He Is n fair sample ol a large class of men who. In every age, attempt to construct systems of thought and to institute measures that are out of haimony with the methods ordained by inllnlto wisdom. DISCIPLKSHIP.-Thls tcachlngof Jesus concerning Himself, ro-alllrmod to I'eter, was calculated to repel tho little band chosen to repiesent UN cause. Strange thoughts must have entered their minds concerning their place and woik. What can thev do. why should they follow, If Jesus Is to be put to death'.' Perhaps ,li sus discerned or anticipated such uf llletlons. At least He answers the queries by showing that the men must share Ills fate. They must deny themselves, tako up their cross rind follow Mm. (Verso L'I.) If they utti mpted to save their lives they would losi them. (Verse 2..) This He had previously said. (Matt. x. 38-3:1.1 So Important wi.s It that lie repeated It (Luke slv. 20-27) more than once. (John . 25-20.1 He Is putting forth the high law of Ills kingdom, hard thin lo ie eelve. but llesllllld to be elevated llllo a doetiine, (II Tim. III. 121 and ptoelalined In distant parts (I for. .v. ;tll. ilie low of heli-siicrillcp. That law was directly opposed then, as It Is now, to the popular conception ol life, as n, period of self seeking, of gain und pleasure. (II Tim. III. I.) BARTER. -A measureless gulf yuwnsii between Jesus and Ms disciples, Vhen these last woids were uttered. He had declared what to them was not only a mystery, but also u hopeless representa tion of the cause to which they had com mitted themselves, lie destined lo die by cruel hands! They dertlned to follow on and lay down their lives tor Ms sake! To complete the, absurdity tills Is de clared to be the way to Ills glory and to their salv.'itlcn! To bridge over the dit fleuliy and legaln Ms control Jesus ad vances to the subj.it of personal pioltt. t-uppuse. Instead ol what He predicted, liny i i.uld gain the whole world, (ot course Impossible) what proht If th-y lose their souls? (Verse 20). In this lie endeavored to bring1 their minds to con sider the relative value of temporal and heavenly things, that they might mak'' choice, (lleb. xl. El.) How can any man barter away his coal for any earthly good? To some extent by this question Jesus conveyed to the dlseloles a slight and In the restaurant, Bogv never noticed the representative of the interior race, in fact, I have been told that, on ono oc casion, wh'ii Sinator lliuce entered the senate restaurant for luncheon, Senutor Uogy left the loom without liiiishlng his well-prepared dinner. "Indeed, when Bruce came to Wiislilng ton his reception was such that every body In the senate would have lelt more eomtoi table with an ovtreoat on; it was so chilly. No man ever was ieceled more coldly, lint as he stooil before the vice president and took the oath of ottlce It was plainly apparent that he was tho proudest man under the dome of the (apltol, and It was soon manliest that he was determined to demonstrate that he was a peer of the proudest and best. He was quiet, handsome, distinguished and exceptionally unobtrusive. John Sherman and Uosene Conkling were the only men there who ret el veil him with any degree of w.u tilth and they were both presidential candidates. BOGY INTRODUCES H1MSKLF. "As 1 said, I had entered the senate to see Senator Spencer and was conversing with him when 1 noticed the distinguished senator from Missouri walking around the rear of the desks to the Republican side Slowly and deliberately he walked down the aisle past me, and, touching Senator llruce on the shoulder, sail: 'Senator, 1 believe wo have never met be fore, but I want to Intioduce myself, ns 1 have some business matters to lay be fore you.' Hruce arose, with courtly bow, took the offered hund, and said: 'I am very glad to meet with you. Senator Ilogy, and am at your service.' They went together to the lear of the desks, sat down upon ono of tho big leather covered sofas and conversed earnestly for some time, When they parted they shook hands, smiled and seemed to bo the best of friends. "Well, a long time afterward, Senator Hruco told us nil about It. He said: 'Uogy had a bill pending, which wns of great Importance to himself. It was ftr the Improvement of tho Missouti river, and. after ho had counted noses, ns the saying Is, he found that his bill might ho defeated by one or two votes, to he wanted to so me to help him through with It. He told me nil about it; how Im portant It was to him, and usked me to vote for the bill, at the same time assur ing me that he would feel under obliga tions and woul 1 do anything In his power for mo whenever called upon. Ho treat ed me as n brother senator, and I prompt ly responded In u slmllur spirit FIRST MEETING WITH BOGY.

TtEWAIH.).-Human mi hire Is so con s-tltuted thai u man cannot commit him self to any mecsure unless there Is some hope of personal gain. It wns thcreforo necessary for Jesus In dealing with that untrained band of INhermen disciples to show that their following was not to re sult In a total loss. Shortly alter they raised the question. (Mark x. is) and It was proper for Hint now that Ho had spoken of the cross, to assure them of n. reward. (Verso 27.) This Ho does III un mistakable terms, the same terms as nro frequently used In tho Old Testament, (11 ov. xxlv. 12' and In the New Testa ment. (Horn. xlv. 12.) Hut that reward is placed lit tho future, by most commenta tors supposed to be at the end of this dis pensation, (Hev. I. 7.) but by some ot tho death ot each believer. (John xlv. o.) The expressions, "the glory of his fath er," and "with his angels," seem to Indi cate a general event of most imposing and phenomenal interest, as of the great Judgment. (Dan. VII. 10.) The apostles appear to have had that view, (II Thess. 1. 7) which has had a wide-spread Intlu once la the church. (Jude 11.) KINGDOM. There was good logic In nil that Jesus had said up to this point. Me. the Messiah, must suffer, die, and rise again. Ills folowers must, lu llko man lur, bo sacrificed for Him. Hut they shall not lose their toward In His kingdom. Wo can put these propositions together nn.i find comfort, more than tongue can ex press. That little company to which the words were (list spoken must have had some confusion of Ideas requiring further Instruction. When will that kingdom be set up and how? The question may have been asked, or It insiv have struggled in buidened hearts thatdared not utter their fears. How that question has disturbed the church! How many words of Scrip ture have been distorted nnd how many sentences have been mangled to eonlirm preconceived opinions: (I.uke vxll. 2D.) The Master gave all that, needed to be known. (Verses 27 and 2v) Some there present should llo to see the setting up of the kingdom. (John xxl. 22-'.'.i.) That statement was sulllcleiit to hold these men tu loyalty. They could afford to wait awhole for the full revelation of the glory of Christ. CONCI.rS10N.We Imve reached the. heart of die Christian system. Jesus came to be the Messiah, the king. As preliminary to tin setting up ol Ills king dom Ho would S.iy down His life 'lid lal:e It again (John x. 17). He woulii become victorious by llrst suffering defeat. He would Invite men to Him in the same splilt, and bid them triumph ns He did, gaining their lives by sacrificing them. Of such, and such only (Horn. vlll. !). He would establish a kingdom, the beginning I of which should be made In the llle-tlme I of those who were about Mini, a king dom which should never end (Dan. iv. II), In which Innumerable blessings should be granted to Its faithful subjects. Such a stati nient might seem to worldly-wise men but the mad utterances of one hen tt of reason. And yet the kingdom has come. The king is on Ills throne (i'salm II. 0). He counts Ills people by hundreds of mil lions. They nro loyal beyond the most abject servants of tho mightiest poten tates of earth. That kingdom spreads. To Him shall "every longiio conless" (I'hll, 11, 11). to two other votes, as it seemed that I could do. I Jut jusl as ho was leaving me I told him that he was mistaken in saying that we had never met before. That sur prised him and he sat down with me again while I told htm of our first meet ing. 1 said: "Senator liogy, one hot afternoon, about a dozen years ago, when you wero a mem ber of congress aiu, one of the most dis tinguished men in your state, you were hurrying down Olivo street. Si. Loins, to catch a. departing steamer. Owing to your weight you wero making slow pro gress and your speed was diminished also because you weie carijing a heiny valise. You would have missed the boot but lor the good fortuuo which threw in your way a young and athletic nigger boy, lo whom you offered a quarter to nrry the vnllso to tho boat. The boy Jumped at the chance, for ho eldently needed a quarter. You hastened on, while tho young nigger shouldered the valise and tagged along close to your heels until the bont was reached. She was already pull Ir.g out Into the stream, but her wheels stopped when the captain saw that Con gressman liogy was coming, and a plank was thrown out and you rushed aboard. The boat proceeded, but tho boy held on to the valise. llltUCK GOT A IIAl.F-DOI.LAH. " Tor no other man In St. I.ouls would that boat have returned to the wharf, but for you she turned around nnd came back. As sho ueared her mooring place you shouted: "Throw that valise aboard, you black rascal!" The boy replied. "First throw 'tie my quarter." You threw him a half-dollar, with an oath, and tho vallso was chucked aboard and the steam er proceeded. You were very ungry, sen ator, and shook your list nt that poor fellow, but ho meiely laughed and went away. Thut poor fellow was hard tip and that half-dollar was as big as a water wheel to him, for it. bought him a good lu-cent supper that night. I was the buv, senator, so you see wo have met before.' " 'I never was more pleased with any thing In my life.' said Senatoi Bruce, 'than with the manner in which Senator Uogy received thut story. He laughed immoderately and told mo that It Illus trated the possibilities of this republic. Ho Mild that I deserved more credit than uny white boy would have deserved, for I had risen from a lower social nnd Intel lectual level than whlto hoys ot my ugo at that time. He became ono ot my very best friends and wo lunched together several times in the restauiunt. Instead of retulnlng his old-time prejudices ho tried to banish them, hut that was Impos sible. Ho was too old to change the Ideas of a lifetime; nnd I did not blamo him. I always liked him and have re garded him as ono of tho greatest men of his age. Tho race of custo dls'lnetions In this coiinir are almost Inerudlcahlo. imi'CK'S CANDIDACY FOIt SIII'HIFF "'Winn Seiiutoi Hug lold ine 1 de served credit for navlii"; risen from such lowly conditions 1 told him another story. When 1 was n candidate for sheilff of my county my opponent started out to make speeches with me. On tho secoid evening, in his address to tho people, ho Mild "I am of one of tho llret families of this state. My opponent is a nigger. Ho came from slaves und Is lit only to bo a sluve. Clrcumblniices huve given him nil opportunity lo rival a whlto man. I do not believe that my fellow-cltlzens will vote for him. They cannot so degrade themselves by degrading me." When It eame my turn to reply, I suld: " 'My opponent has told you of my lowly origin. It Is true that 1 wns born a slave und have risen from my thrulldom. The evidence Is before you that 1 huvo risen. If he had been born a sluvo ho might have been In tho darkness of lg nornnce and serfdom. Depending upon his family, ho would never huvu learned to depend upon himself. 1 believe that these people will encourage mo In my of. forts to rise above unfortunate circum stances una will vote for me." " 'And they did,' laughed the senator. 'They elected me sheriff and afterward stood by mo manfully In tho light for the feimlorshlp.' " BOTANY BAY. First Load of Convicts Sent There Not Land ond None Have Landed Since. Old The first fleet Balled nwny from Kng lmul In May, 17S7. called nt Illo Janeiro nnd arrived nt Hotuny Hay early In Jan uary, 17s$. says the Chicago llccord. In tho fleet wero a twenty-stun frlgute, an armed tender, tlireo storeships and six transports, far tho largest fleet that ever had sailed to the South Sea, though tho largest vessel measured only 15") tons, nnd tho smallest only 270 tons. On the six small transports for this long, troplcnl voyngo wero packed convicts numbering Mi men nnd 192 women. There wero nlso carried 1(JS marine and ten otllcers, a few surgeons nnd mechanics, the wives ot forty of the marines and thirteen chil dren, the offspring of convicts. Approxi mately 1,000 persons therefore went to found tho colonly In tho newest world less than 110 years old. Captain Phil lip of the Hrltlsh nnvy. wus placed lu command of the expedition and given a commission as governor nnd captain gen eral of New South Wales. II Is ensy for tho visitor ot todav to understand tho blank dismay that Phil lip must have felt when tho fleet Rimed Into Hotuny Hay, and he saw for tue llrst time tho pluce which had been rec ommended to him as the spot for settle ment. It had been selected by the ad vice of Captain Cook, whose botanists had been so delighted with tho profusion of new plants they found there that they had given It tho expressive name. Philip found on llrst examination that a more unsuitable slto for a new settlement hardly could have been chosen. The bay wns shallow, thero was no good anchor age, thero wns no good water, ond the adjacent land wus not fertile, except for botanical specimens. heaving the fleet anchored lit the bay. Philip started up the coast In his tender to hunt for it better home. Nine miles to the north ward he found himself facing those great gates now known as Sydney Head, which Cook hud seen from a distance, and sat isfied with liotany Hay, had marked on his chart as a possible harbor for small boats. Philip rounded the south head, and was nmazed to see opening before hi in the bays of Port Jackson Snyder harbor now famed the world over as tho finest harbor in the seven seas, and dis puted for that distinction by few. Three days of exploration left no possible doubt thnt this was tho place to be selected, and Philip returned at once to liotany. The fleet was standing out of the bay, when two French frigates appeared In the ofllng. They bore nil exploring party under Comte do la Perouso. without hos tile Intentions, which was an Immense re lief to tho colonists. Hotnny liny was left la tho Frenchmen. They refreshed and refitted there, staying until March and burying on shoro ono of their com pany, tho naturalist of tho expedition, who died of wounds received In nil en counter with tho natives of nn Island they had touched, A few months Inter the French expedition was shipwrecked, and nvcry ono of tho crew wns murdered by tho natives of Vunlkoro, one of the Santa Cruz Islands. In 1S2." a monument wns erected by the French government to the memory ot tho commander of tho expedi tion nt Hotnny Hay. This Is nil of the story of Hotuny Hay, a name long In famous liernitso of Its association with convict transportation. No convict ever wus landed there, no settlement over wns niudo there, aud it never had anything moro to do with tho "system" than I have I elated. It Is it circular bay, with an ontraneo so wido ns to leave It til most an open roadstead. Tho shores nro flat, low, sandy nnd uninteresting. When I went thero a few days ago, the tldo was out und tho beach wns foul with all sorts or drifts. One penlisulu, which Juts between the bay and the oeean, has been reserved for noxious trades, nnd they will elbow tho obelisk erected to tho memory of Captain Cook, so that In tlio future tho bay will bo no moro savory than Its name bus been, unjustly, In tho past. The French mon ument Is nt the other sldo of tho en trance to tho bay. It was tho 20th of January, 17SS, when (ho fleet of Governor Arthur Philip en tered what Is now Sydney Harbor. The settlement of the continent of Australia was begun. Himitl'NDKIt. All honor to tho women then, On duty to tho world Intent, Who manly pre as manly men In work for human betterment.
