DE WITT TALMAGE PREACHES IN CHICAGO. la Somo UTCS the Saccharine Seems to Predominate—A Gravel in Almost Every Shoe—Tho Omnipotent Sympatliy of Jesus CUrist. CHICAGO, July 8.—The Rov. T. DeWitt Talmage, D.D., of Brooklyn, preached in this city this evening. Ho is horo on his way homo from a tour of the Chautauquas in Missouri, Eansas and Minnesota. The doc- tor had an enormous auditory. Eis subject was \Sour Experiences,\ and his text: '•Whoa Jesus therefore had received the vine- gar.\—John six, 30. The sermon was as follows: Tho brigands of Jerusalem had done their wort. It was almost sundown, and Jesus was dying. Persons in cruci&dQii often lingered oa from day to day—crying, beg- ging, cursing; but Christ had been exhausted by years of maltreatment. Piilowless, poorly fed, flogged—as bent over and tied to a low post, his bare back was inflamed with tho scourges interstieed with pieces of lead aud bono—aud now for whole hours the weight of his body hung on deiicato tendons, and, according to ci^tom, a violent stroka under the armpits had been given by tha sxecufcioner. Dizzy, swooning, nauseated, fjverish—a world of agony is compressed in tho two words: \I thirst!\ O skies of Judea, let a drop of rain striko on his burniug tongue. O world, with rolling rivers, and sparkling lakes, and spraying foxmtains, give Jesus something to drink. If there bo auy pity in earth, or heaven, or hell, let it now bo demonstrated in behalf of this roj'al suiTerer. The wealthy women of Jerusalem used to have a, fund of money with which they provided wiiio for those peoplo who died in crucifixion—a powerful opiate to deaden the pain; but- Christ would not tako it. He wanted to dio sober, and so he refused the wir.e. Cut afterward they go to a cup of vinegar and soak a sponge in it, I and put it on a stick of hyssop, and then press it against the hot lips of Christ. You say ths wino was an aBasthetic and intended to relievo or deaden tha pain. But the vino- gar was an insult. I am disposed to adopt tho theory of the old English commentators, who believed that instead of its beiiig en opiate to soothe, it was vinegar to insult. Malaga and Burgundy for grand ilukes and duchesses, and costly wines from royal vats for bloated imperials: but stinging acids for a dying Christ. He took tho vinegar. In some lives the saccharine seems to pre- dominate. Life is sunshine on a bar.Ii of flowers. A thousand hands to clap approval. Iu December or in January, looking across their table, they seo a:} their family present. Health rubicund. Skies flamboyant. Days resilient. Bat ia a great many cases there arc not so many sugars as acids. The annoy- ances, and the vexations, aud the disappoint- ments of life overpower ths successes. There is a gravel in almost every shoe. An Arabian legend says that there was a. worm in Solo- mon's stair, gnawing its strength away, aud there is a weak spot in every earthly support that a man loans on. King George of Eng- land forgot all the grandeurs of his throne because one day, in an interview, Beau Brummell called him by his first name aud addressed him as a servant, crying: \George ring tho bell!\ Miss Langdon, honored ail the world over for her poetic genius, is so worried over tho evil reports set afloat regardiug her, that she is found dead, with an empty bottle of pru- sic acid in her hand. Goldsmith said that his lite was a wretched being, and that all that want and contempt could bring to it had been brought, and cries out: \What then, is there formidable ia a jail?\ Correggio's fine paiuting is hung sp for a tavern sign. Ho- garth cannot sell his best paintings except through a raffle. Andrew Delsart makes the great fresco in tho church of the Annunciata, at Florences, and gets for pay a sack of corn; and there are annoyances and vexations in high places as well as in low places, showing that iu a great many lives the soul's aro greater than tho sweets. \AVhen Jesus there- fore had received the vinegar.\ , It is absurd to suppose that a man who has always been tasll can sympathize with those who are sick; or that one who has always been honored can appreciate the sorrow of those whtxare despised; or that one who has been born to a great fortune can understand tho distress and the straits of those who are destitute. The fact that Christ himself took the vinegar makes him ablo to sympathize today and forever with all those whose cup is filled with sharp acids of this life. He took tho vinegar! In the first place, there is the sourness of betrayal. Tha treachery of Judas hurt Christ's feelings more than all the friendship of his disciples did him good. You have nad many friends; but there WGS oae friend upon whom you put especial stress. You feasted him. Yru loaned him money. You be- friended him in. the dark passes of life, when he especially needed a friend. Afterward, ho turned upon you, and he took advantage of your former intimacies. He wrote against you. He talked against you. He microscop- ized jour faults. He flung contempt at you when you ought to have received nothing but gratitute. At first, you could not sleep at nights. Then you went about with a sense of having been stung. That difficulty will never be healed, for though mutual f riftiids may arbitrate in the matter until you shall shake hands, the old cordiality will never \coma back. Now X coismend to all sack the sympathy of a betrayed Christ. Why, they sold him for less than our twenty dollars! They all forsook him, and tied. They cut him to tlio quick. He drank that eup of betrayal to the dregs. Ea took the vinegar. There is also the sourness of pain. There are some of you who have not seen a well day for many years. By keeping out of draughts, and by carefully studying dietetics, you continue to thi3 time; but O, the head- aches, and the-sideaches, and tho backaches, and the heartaches which have been your accompaniment; all the way through! You have struggled under a heavy mortgage of physical disabilities; and instead of the placidity that once characterized you, it ia now only with great effort that you keep away from irritability and sharp retort. Difficulties of respiration, of digestion, of locomotion, make up the great obstacle in your life, and you tug and sweat along the pathway, and wonder •when tho exhaustion end. My friends, the brightest crowns iii heaven will not be given to those who, in stirrups, dashed to tho cav- alry charge, while the general applauded, and the sound of clashing sabers rang through tho land; but the brightest crowns in heaven, I believe, will be given to those who trudged on amid chronic ailments which unnerved their strength, yet all the time maintaining their faith in,God- It is com- paratively easy to fight in a regiment of a thousand men, ehargiiig-up tha parapets to the sound of martial mneic, but itis ncit so easy to endurewhen no oneiut tBenurse and { the doctor are thevritacsses of the Christian J iortitnde. Resides that you never had any pains worse than GhrisKs.- The* sharpnesses tljat stuns thro 1 \\* ««JS'brain. .\\ hands, through his feet, through his heart, were as great as yours, certainly. He was as sick and as weary. Not a nerve, or muscle, or ligament escaped. All tho pangs of all the nations of ail the ages coinpreseed into one sour cup. He took the vinegar! There is also the sourness of poverty. Your income does not meet your outgoings, and that always gives an honest man anxievy. There is no sign of destitution about you— pleasant appearance and a cheerful home for you; but God only knows what a time you have had to manage your private finances. Just as the bills run up the wages seem to run down. But you are not the only onp who has not been paid for Sard work. Tho great Wilkie sold his celebrated piece, \The Blind Fiddler,\ for fifty guineas, although afterwards it brought its thousands: The world bangs in admiration over the sketch of Gainsborough, yet that very sketch haag for years in tho shop window because there was not any purchaser. Oliver Goldsmith sold his \Vicar of Wakefield\ for a few pounds, in order to keep the bailiff out cf the door; and the vast majority of men in all occupations aiid professionsthe are not fully paid for their work. You may say nothing, but life to j-ou is a hard push; and whou you sit down with your v.'ifo and tali: over the oxperises, you both rise up dis- couraged. You abridgo here, and you abridge there, and you get things snug for smooth sailings, and lo! suddenly thero is a large doctor's bill to pay, or you have lost your pockctboo!;, or some creditor has i'dili-ii, and you are thrown abeam end. Well, brother, you are m glorious company. Christ owned not the house in which he stopped,'or tho colt on which he rode, cr the boat in which he sailed. Eo live;l in a bor- rowed house; he was bm-iod in a bor- rowed grave. Exposed to of weather, yet ho had only one suit of clothes. Ke breakfasted in tho •morning, and no one could possibly tell where he cotild get anything to eat before night. He would have been pronounced a financial faifeire. He had to perform a miracle to get money to'paj' u tax bill. I-Tot ix dollar did ho own. Privation of domesticity; privation of nutritious food; privation of a comfortable couch on which to sleep: privation of cil worldly resources. The kings of the earth had chased chalices out of which to drink; but Christ- had nothing but a plain cu;» sot before him, cud it was very sharp and it was very sour. He took the vinegar. 'f hero also is the sourness of bereavement. There were years that passed along before your family circle was invaded by death; but the moment tho charmed circle was broken everything seca:cd to dissolve. Hardly Lava }ou - put the black CTparcl in tho edge and a-rasping—I preach tho omnipotent sympathy of Jesus Christ. Tho srster of Horschel, tho astronomer, used to help him in his work. IIu got all tho credit; she got none. She used to spend much of her time polishing tho telescopes through which ho -brought the distant worlds nigh, and it is my ambition now, this hour, to clear the lens of your spiritual vision, so that looking through the dark night of your earthly troubles you may behold the glorious constellation of a Saviour's mercy and a Saviour's love. O, my friends, do not try to carry all your ills alone. 1)6 not put your poor shoulder under the Apeniunes whou the Almighty Christ is ready to lift up all your burdens. When you have a troublo of any kind, you rush this way, and that way; and you wonder who 6 this rifc\h will say about it, and irhat that man will say about it; and you try this prescription, and that prescription, and tho other \prescription. Oil, why do you not go straight to tho heart of Christ, knowing that for our own simiing and suffering racp ho took tho vinegar! There was a vessel that had been tossed on seas for a great many week3, and teen disabled, and the supply of water gavo out, and tho «rew were dying of thirst. After many days they saw a sail against the sky; They signaled it.' TVheu the vessel came nearer the peoplo on the suffering ship cried to tho captain of the other vessal: \Send us some water. We are dying for lack of water.\ And the captain of the vessel that was hailed responded: \Dip your buckets where you arc. You are in tho mouth of the Amazon, and there are scores of miles of fresh water all around about you, and hundreds of feet deep.\ And then they dropped their buckets over the side of tho vessel, and brought up the clear, bright, fresh water, and put but h fi f thi thi S I hl j all kinds I the fii-e of their thirst. So I hail you todayj y yj after n -oiig and perilous voyage, thirsting as you are for pardon, and thirsting for coni- fort, and thirsting for eternal life; and I ask you what is the use of your going in that death struck state, while all around you is the deep, clear, wide, sparkling flood of God's sympathetic mercy. O, dip your buckets, and drink, and live forever. \Whosoever will, let him come and take of the water of life freely.\ Yet my utterance is almost choked at the thought that there are people here who will refuse this divine sympathy; and they will try to fight their own batttlea, and drink their own vinegar, and carry their own bur- dens; aud their life, instead of bring a tri- umphal march from victory to victory: will he a hobbling on f roni defeat to defeat, until they make final surrender to retributive dis- aster. 0,1 wish I could today gather up in mine arms all the woes cf men and womeii— wardrobe before you have again to tako it i all their heart aches^all their disappoint- out. C-reat and rapid changes in your fr.m- j rnents^all their chagrips^aisd just take ily record. Yen got the he-use ai:d rejoiced j theni right to the feet of a sympathizing Jesus. Ho took the vinegar. • Nona Sahib, after ho had'lcst his last battle ia India, fell back into the jungles of Ihera in it, but the charm was gor.o ns soon as Ibo crape hung 0:1 the door bell. Tho 0120 upon whom you most depended was taken away from yo;i. A cold marble slab lies on your heart, toaay. Onco, as the children romped through the house, you put your band ovor your ac-hing bead, and said: \Oh if I conld oaly hr.vo it- sfili.\ Oh, it is. too still cow. ia In, to jugles of Ihera —jungles so full of malaria that no mortal could livo there, lie carried with him, also, a ruby of groat luster and of great value.

A timely warning to the wise is sufficient. The last French rifle, as described, has a ball so small, that a soldier can carry 220 rounds, shoots with a new smokeless powder, and its bullet pierces a brick wall eight inches thick at 500 yards. A disobedient schoolgirl at Portsmouth, Va., was made by her teacher to stand in ono spot without moving for a long time. The strain made her sick, and she is now said to bo dying of a fever. Somo boil's eggs that were accidentally covered up by somo men plowing at Peta- luina, Cal., last summer, wero hatched by tho heat of the sun upon the earth and the noise made by tho chicks led to their discov- ery and release. The first volume of tho correspondence of PGter tho Great, edited by Count Tolstoi, has been published. There will be ton very large volumes, containing upward of 20.000 letters, which have been gathered from archives all over Europe. The Holinden farm, near Pithole, Pa., for which, in the days of tho oil craze, tho Gar- den City Petroleum company, of Chicago, paid §1,600,000, was sold a few days ago for taxes amounting to less than §100. The lumber from which the gallows was constructed oa which John Brown was exe- cuted is owned by a resident of Harper's Ferry, who is wait-ing for some relic hunter to come and tako it off his hands. Tho modest sum of $1,500 is asked for it. Recently at a JToscow sunset tho rays of tho sun wero intercepted by a cloud, and through some peculiar property in tho atmos- pheres tho entire city was colored a vivid purple hue. This strange effect lasted for eight minutes. The back of a gold watch, with a crown and the letter H engraved upon iji, was ro- cantly returned to Dent & Co., or London, ;uid they identified it as tho back of a watch which tho Empress Eugenie had given to her son, the Prince Eugene, in 1STS. The relic was sold to a gentleman in the African dia- mond mines by a Euiu. There is now filed with a will in litigation in Monroe county, Ga., a silver dollar that was issued in 1775, and has been in possession of the same family for more than 100 years. It is one o£ thirteeu dollars that were paid to a Revolutionary soldier whan discharged from tho Continental army. A Chinese lantern tied to a kite that was poised in midair caused a sensation among the negroes of Augusta, C-ra., a few nights ago. The uncanny light dancing iu the heavens terrified them, aud their cries and prayers are sid-1 to have been wof ul to hear. One old woman prophesied that it was a warning to them all to repent Something that pays better thaii a gold mine is a large 'Sdgo of mica located just west of Moscow, Idaho. It was discovered a few years ago by au Indian, who sold it for a trifle to W. A. Woody. The lodge was next purchased by a Chicago firm, who paid S3£5,OOO for i6, and havesmee takan a fortune out of it every year. A great parrot show is to be held at Turin this summer. Prizes are to be given* for the polly who can use tho most phrases and for the oldest parrot. It is said that a polly Who has seen SO years will be present. It is re- lated that Cuvier, the celebrated naturalist, had a parrot in his vestibule, who, upon seeing a stranger, would cry out, \What do you want with my master?\ And when a reply was given ho would respond: \IJon't talk too much.\ A Slorbidly Sensitive Empress. The empress of Austria spent a weok at Bournemouth recently, oraspurating almost to frenzy the antagonism between the two rival hotels, and finally selecting, not the esthetic nad more fashionable Bath, but the quieter Ereter. When, a few days bofore her arrival, sho intimated her intention of taking up liar abode in the last na'.noil house it was summarily cleared of ail its guests, with tho exception of ono unoffending old maid, who had occupied a top l.-edruo:;: for seven months, took all her meals in'tbn privacy of her chamber, aad was wari'antad not to show obtrusively on the stairs. The empress, her daughter Valerie, and a largo suite filled thirty-sis rooms for a week. Tho empress, spare, tall, erect, has retained much of tha far famed beauty which made the Princess Elizabeth, of. Tiuirn and Taxis, the most admirable woman of her time. Her magnificent hair, as laxu'^jjus as over, is almost untouched by time, and sho seems to disclaim every artifice of toilet and appear ance. Sho dressed plainly, unbecomingly, almost shabbily, roso early, walked out aloae with tho lady like proprietress of tho hotel at half past (> o'clock p. m., took long walks on the sands, indifierent aliko to wind, sunshine or rain, comiug home sometimes drenched to the skin, visiting tho pier only when all tho inhabitants were safely housed for their meals, giving no 'trouble, cad apparently satisfied with everything. Sho had been so cruelly mobbed at Cromer, on the east coast, that sho has! become morbidly sensitive about being stared at, aad, to nvoid observation, resorted imprudently to a device more likc-ly to attract attention than to shun it. She sallied forth in the coldly inclement weather with a large fan, which shs held up before her face whenever she suspected the passers- by-of scanning her features.—The Argonaut. A Cliaaga in tlio Buttons. There is nothing more noticeable to me than the wonderful change in the \buttons ! that women wear that has taken place in i two years. Perhaps I notice it more on ac- count of being in tho bnsiacss, but it is so radical that any ono would porcoive ifc if he had his attention called to it. Formerly ths buttons were fancy and large; now they are small, plain and cheap. When merchants can sell manufactured buttons for three cents a dozen iS reduces tho profits of tho manu- facturer. Stylo has decided that buttons shall be small aud plain. Ia consequence, it 13 very soldom that a woman pays more than twenty cent 1 ; a dozen for tho buttons she uses on her dresa, and fas majority use- fivo cent and ten cent buttons. But this style will not last long; it will get around to the old price where it was profit- able to mocafacisra buttons. Two years ago the stylo was to wear novelties, and tho but- tons used on dresses never cost less than fifty cents a dozen. The size of the buttons began to increase, and it was not uncommon to see buttons two inches square on cloaks. Many ladies paid as high as $2 apieco for buttons. They were made ia fancy shapes, and there are few ladies who have not pretty collec- tions in their scrap bags. They will be use- ful somo day, for the fashion in buttons is always changing. Our trado fluctuates ac- cordingly. With improved machinery it is now easy to make a cheap, plain button. Bone is tho principal material for these but- tons, and vegetable ivory is also used, as well as composition.—Globe-Democrat about the loneliness aud the heartbreak.

And we will wake up after these autumnal andwintryana vernal and summery glories have vanished from our vision—we will wake up into a realm which has only one season, and that the season of overlast- ing love. But you say: \I don't want to break out from my present associations. It is so chilly .and so damp to go down the stairs of that vault. I don't wont anything drawn so tightly over my eyes.

Th:s fabric is a novelty of the season, and will be used extensively for summer gowns, being light, cool and new in color. I don't suppose that this reproduction of mummy habiliments will make it rest at all heavily on the fair forms of our girls, al- though I have sean one ease in which the wearer certainly realized the source of the material. She had fashioneu it into a house robe to es^ctly resemble the original Egyp- tian garment, with its curious trappings and bands. It was an idea worthy of the spec- tral Bernhardt, although it originated with a merry enough Fifth avenue maiden. A3 the result was a. shapely sort of costume, such as plenty of women are ready to adopt, I shall not be surprised if, when touched up by the skillful fingers of tha modern costumer, the spectacle of apparently vivified muniniies in our st-rsets becomes generol.-^Sew York Suit Xhrir* and lYugality. A lawyer living in a town near Water- bury, Conn., states a fact which well illus- trates tha thrift and frugality which char- acterize many of the old families which have not been touched by modern extravagance and love of display. In that town threo es- tates have beea settled within a few months aggregating property to the amount of §700,000, and yet he says if all the household fsimiture of those three families had been sold a6 the best possible price, the amount- received for it would not have amounted at tho outside-to 8300.

Of tho wild animals, singularly enough only the leopards are dreaded, for they often attack man, vrhieh the lions never do, al- though they lurk ia the bush by twos and threes. The negroes told Emm they wero under tho control of a chief named Lotter, a very simple, good natnred man, who always kept two tame lions in his house (a fact), and as long as he receives occasional presents of corn and goats, prevents tlio wild lions from doing any mischief. It is curious to note that the lions here aro good tempered (perhaps because they find abundance of food), and they are also much admired, as was shown by the following in- cident: \Ono day,\ he says, \we came upon a lion caught in a pitfall, whereupon Chief Lotter was fetched, and he pushed into tho pit branches of trees to enable tho lion to got out; this it did, and after giving us a roar of acknowledgment, walked off unharmed. \Another chief is said to possess tho power of keeping the gamo-away from the pitfalls. Ono of our men told mo that this chief was at one time detained under arrest at the sta- tion for a few hoars, the consequence being that no game came near the station for about eight days, so that a present had to be sent to the chief to appease him. Chief Chuloug's wife is also famous for her power over the numerous crocodiles which make their home in Kbor GinetL\—-Christian at Work. Prizes of tlio Ocean. Sperm whales, i'ae monsters of deep water; .are the richest prizes of tho ocean, yielding spermaceti from their brain cases, ivory from their lower jaws, rich, yellow oil from their sides, and (when diseased) the almost priceless ambergris from their entrails. Next in value comes the right whalo, the inhab- itant of the Arctic, ia whose mouth whale- bone is substituted forivory. Tho upper jaw is furnished with this substance, a great pile cf which lies high on tho beach at Herring cove. . It is, perhaps, ten inches across where it joins the jaw, and reminds one mor9 of a great comb with tangled hair attached than anything else. Tho \teeth\ are closely set, raid are three feet and more long, tapering to a point and terminating in rope like fila- ments. While- tho sperm whale feeds on squid at tha bottom of the ocean, the right whale speeds along -with open mouth, engulfing huge quantities of water and greater or lcs= quantities of the animalcules ?>;d small fish on which it subsists. When his cavernous mouth is fall he closes it, blows out tho water through his spout holes, end with the aid of hi3 tonguo swallows the little creatures which hare become immeshed in the curious attachment of his upper jaw.—Coi\ Balti- more American.

Is tho narrow valley where tha Amazon takes its risa among the Peruvian Andes, a woman was recently burned to death because the populace believed her to-be a witch. The town of Pataz, which has thus distinguished itself, lies on a well traveled valley road, is big enough to figure on the maps and in the gazetteers, and from ths mountains on the West the intelligent citizens must be almost able to see the railroad that has straggled into the neighboring valley north of them.
