A volcano, 1 uminsr .so lon. an1 yvt to kep on rurnin. until, perhaps, it may he the very toroh thn? will kindle the last conflagration and sr-t nil the world on fire. It eclipses in violence of behavior Cotopaxi and tnnand Ktrorri'Oli and Krakatoa. Awful mystery. Funeral pyre of dead cities. Everlasting paroxysm of mountains. It sterns like a chimney of hell. Iunrs with fiery remin iscence of what ji has ne an 1 with threats of worse thintqyJwt it I jay j et do. I would not live in one of the villtij?'s at its base, for j-rcsent of all Italy. On a day in ijwember. 1G31, it threw up sshes that floated away hundreds and hun dreds of miles an I dropped in Conptantino p!e, and in the Adriatic sea, and on the Apennines, as well as trampling out at its own foot the lives of 18.000 people. Geo logists have tried to fathom its mysteri'-s.but the heat consumed the iron instruments and drove back the scorched and blistered ex plorers from the cindery and crumbling brink. It seems like the asylum of maniac elements. At one time far back its top had been a fortress, where Sp-trtaeus fought and was surrounded and would have been destroyed had it not been for the grapevines which elolhed the mountainside from top to base, mi l laying hold of them he climbed hand under hand to safety in the valley. I5ut for centuries it has kept Us furnace bnrniug as we saw it that night on our arrival in Novem ber of 189. Of course the next day wo started to see Fome of the work wrotifrht by that frenzied mountain. "All out for Tompeii !" was the cry of the conductor. And now we stand by the corpse of that dead city. As we entered the gate and p:isso d between the walls I took off my hat, as one naturally does in the pres ence of some imposing obsequies. That city had been at one time acapital of beauty and pomp. The home oV grtfi 1 architecture, ex quisite painting, enemas Sing sculpture, unre strained carousal and rapt assemblage. A high wall twenty feet thick, thrae-fourths of it still visible, encircled the city. Of tho39 walls, at p. distance of only 100 yards from each other, towers rosi for armed men who watched the city. The streets ran nt right nntjlcs and from wall to wall, only one street excepted. In the days of tho city's prosperity its towers glifterfd in tho sun eight strong gates for ingress and egress, Gato of the Seashore. Gate of Ilerculaneum. Gate of Vesuvius being perhaps the most important. Yonder stood the Temple of Jupiter, hoisted tit an imposing elevation, and with its six corinthian columns of immense girth, which stoo l like carved icebergs shimmering in the light. Tliero stands the Temple of the Twelve Gods. Yonder see the Temple of Hercules and the Temple of Mercury, with altars of marble and bas-relief, wonderful enough to astound all succeeding asrcsof art, and the Temple of iEcul ipius, brilliant with sculpture and gorgeous with painting. Yonder are the theatres, partly cut into surrounding hills, and glorified with pic tured walls, and entered under arches of im posing masonry, and with rooms, for capti vat"d and applaudatory audiences seated or standing in vast semi-circie. Yonder are the costly and immense public baths of the city, with more than the modern ingenuities of Carlsba l. Notice the warmth of those an cient tepidariums. wJtli hovering radiance of roof, aud the vapor ofthos j caldarhims. with decorated alcoves, and the co.'d dash of their frigidariums. with floors of mosaic and cciliujrs of till skilfully intermingled hues, and walls upholstered wit li all the colors of the setting sun. and sofas on which to recline for slumber after tho plunge. Yonder are the barracks of tho celebrated gladiators. Yonder is the summer home of Sallust, the Koman historian aud Senator, the architecture as elaborate as his charac ter was corrupt. There is the residence of the poet l'ansa, with a compressed Louvra and Luxembourg within his walls. There is the homo of Lucretius, with vases and antiqui ties enough to turn the head of a virtuoso. Yonder see the Forum, at the highest place in tin? city. It is entered by two triumphal arches. It is bounded on three sides by doric columns. Yonder, in t lie suburbs of the city, is the home of Arrius Piomo 1, the mayor of the suburbs, terraced residence of billionaire io:n, gardens, fountained, statued, colon naded, the cellar of that villa filled with bot tles of r.-ir. st wine, a few drops of which were found 1S0O years afterward. Along the streets of the city are men of might and women f beauty formed into bronze that many centuries had no power to bedim. Bat tle scenes on walls in coiors which all time cannot efface. Great city of l'ompoii ! Ho Kcueea and Tacitus and Cicero pronounced it. Stand with me on its walls this evening of August 23. A. 1. ?:. S -e the throngs pass ing up and down in Tyrian purple and gir dles of arabesque, aud n cUs enchained with precious stones, proud official in imposing toga meeting the slave carrying travsa-clink with goblets and n-svnoko with delicacies from paddock and sra. and moralist musing over tho degradation of the times passes tho proniguto doing his best to make them worse. ITark to the clatter and rataplan of the hoofs on the streets paved with blocks of basalt. See the verdured and flowered grounds slop ing into tho most beautiful bay of all the earth the bay of Naples. Listen to the rumbling chariots, carrying convivial occupants to halls of mirth and masquerade and carousal. Hear the loud dash of fountains amid the sculptured water nymphs. Notice the .weird, solemn farreach ingJ?,U0P4.diq.fc P$ roar of a city at the close "oil a "suranV"?3'" I-et X'ompett sleep well to-night, bw5t is the last night of peace ful slumber before she falls into the deep slumber of many long centuries. The morn ing of the 24th of August, A. I). 79. has ar rived, and the days roll on, and it is 1 o'clock in the afternoon. "Look!" I say to you, standing on this wall, as tho sister of Fliny said to him. the Homan essayist and naval commander, on the day of which I speak, as she pointed him in the direction in which I point you. Thtrc is a peculiar cloud on the sky; a sp.'t(.. cloud, now white, now black. It is Vesuvius in awful ami uuparaileled eruption. Now the smoke ant lire and steam of that black, mouster throat rise and spread, as, by my gesture, I now describe it. It rises, a great column of tlery, darkness, higher and higher, and then spreads out like tho branches of a trac, with midnights enter wr;spp"d in its foliage, wider ant widor. Now the sun go s out, and showers of pumice stone an 1 water Irom furnaces more than seven times heated, and ashes in aval anche after avalanche, blinding an 1 scalding and suffocating, descend north, south, east an 1 west, burying deeper and deeper in mammoth scpuloher, sv?h as never before or since was opened. Stabias, Herculaneum end Tompeii. Ashes ankle deep, girdle deep, chin deep, ashes overhead. Out of the houses and temple3 and thea tres and into the streets and down to the beach fled many of the frantic, but others, if not suffocated of the ashes, were scalded to death by the heated deluge. And then came heavier destruction in rocks after rocks, crushing in homes and temples and theatres. No wonder the soa receded from the beach as though in terror, until much of the shipping was wrecked, and no won ler that when they lifted Fliny the elder from tho sailcloth on which he was rei-ting, under the agitations of what he had seen, he suddenly expired. For three days the entombment proceeded. Then the clouds lifted, and the cursing of that Apollyon of mount tins subsided. For 17bJye.:rs ILWit c'ty o jlV ape.i nv buried an 1 without anything to s'iovr its ulaee of doom. Er after 1701 year of oV. iteration a workman's spade, digging a well, strikes some antiquities which lead to the exhuma tion of the city. Now walk with me through some of the streets and into some of the bouses and amid the ruins of basilica and temple anl amphitheatre.- From the moment ihe guide met us at the rate on entering Pompeii that day in No vember, lS'sS. until he left us at the gate on our departure, the emotion I felt was inde- pcribable for elevation nd polemnity and sorrow and nwe. Come p.n 1 ee the petri fied bodies of the dead found in the city, and now in the museums of Italy. About "450 of those embalmed by that ruption have been recovered. Mother and child, noble and serf, merchant ntd beggar, are presentable and natural after 1701 years of burial. That woman was found clutching her adornments when the storm of fishes and flrebescato, and for 1700 years she continued to clutch them. There at the soldiers' barracks are sixty four skeletons of brave men. who faithfully stool guard at their post when the tempest of cinders began, and after 1700 years were Ftill found standing guard. There is the form of gentle womanhood impressed upon the hardened ashes. Pass along, and here we see the deep rut in the basaltic pavp ments worn there by the wheels of the chari ots of the first century. There, over the doorways and in the porticoes, are works of art immortalizing the debauchery of a city, which, notwithstanding all its splendors, was a vestibule of perdition. Thos3 gutters ran with the blooi of the gladiators, who were prizefighters of those ancient timep, and it was pword parrying sword, until, with one 3ktlful and stout plunge of the sharp edge, the mauled and gashed combatant reelel over dead, to be carried out amid the huzzas of enraptured spectators. We staid amouz those suggestive scenes after the hour that visitors are usually allowed there and staid until there was not a footfall to be heard within nil that city except our own. Up this silent str;et and down that silent street we wandered. Into that win dowle3s and roofless home we went and came out again onto tho pavements that, now for saken, were once thronged with life. And can it be that all up and down these solemn solitudes, hearts more than 1800 years ago ached and rejoiced, and feet shuf fled with the gait of old age or danced with childish glee, and overtasked workmen car ried their burdens, and drunkards staggered? on that mosaic floor did glowing youth clasp hands in marriage vow, and cross that threshold did pallbearers carry tho beloved dend. and gay groups once mount those now Bk -letons of staireas-is? While I walked and contemplated the city seemed suddenly to be thronged with all the population that had ever inhabited it, and I beard its laughter and (rroan an 1 unclean ness and infernal boast as it was on the 23d of August, 79. And Vesuvius, from the mild light with which it flushei the sky that sum mer evening as I stoo 1 in disentombed Pom peii, seemed suddenly asain to heave and flame and rock with the lava and darkness and desolation and woe with which more than eighteen centuries ago it submerged Tompeii, as with the liturgy of fire and storm the mountain proclaimed at the burial, "Ashes to ashes, dust to dust." My friends, I cannot tell what practical suggestion comes to your mind from this walk through uncovered Pompeii, but the first thought that absorbs me ia that, while art and culture are important, they cannot save the morals or the life of a great town. Sfuch of the painting an 1 sculpture of Pom peii was so exquisite that, while some is kept on the walls where it was first penciled, to bo admired by those who go there, whole wagon loads and whole rooms full of it have been transferred to the Museo Borbonico at Na ples, to bo admired by the centuries. Those rompeiiau artists mixed such dura bility of colors that, though their paintings were buried in ashes and scoria? for 1700 years, and since thej- were uncovered many of them have remained there exposed to the rain3 an I winds and winters au 1 summers 130 years, the color is as fresh and vivid and true as though yesterday it had passed from the easel. Which of our modern paintings could staa I all that? An 1 yet many of the specimens of Pompeiian art shew that the city was sunk to such a depth of abomination that there was nothing deeper. Sculptured and petrified and embalmed abomination. There was a state of public mor lis worse than belongs to any city now standing under the sun. Yet how many think that all that is neces sary is to cultivate the mind and advance tho knowledge and improve the arts. Have you the Impression that eloquence will do the elevating work? Why, rompeit had Cicero half of every year for its citizen. Have you the idea th it literature is all that is neces sary to keep a city right? Why, Sallust. with a pen that was the boast of Homan litera ture, had a mansion in that doomed city. Do you think that sculpture and art are quite sufficient for the production of good morals? Then correct your delusiou by examining the statues in the Temple of Mercury at Pom peii, or the winged figures of its Parthenon, and tho colonn-vles an I arches of this hous j of Diomed. By all means have schools and Dusseldorf and Dore exhibitions and galleries where the geniu of all the centuries can bank it self up in snowy sculpture, and all bric-a-brac, and all pure art, but nothing save the religion of Jesus Christ can make a city moral. In proportion as churches and Bi bles and Christian printing presses and re vivals of religion abound is a city pure and clean. WThat has Buddhism or Confucianism or Mohammedanism done in all the hun dreds of years of their progress for the ele vation of society? Absolutely nothing. Peking and Madras and Cairo are just what they were ages ago, except as Christi anity has modified their condition. What is the difference between our Brooklyn and their Pompoii? No difference, except that which Christianity has wrought. Favor all gool art, but take best care of your churches, and your Sabbath schools, and your Bibles, and your family altars. Yea, see in our walk through uncovered romneii what sin will do for a city. We ought to be slow to assign the judgment of God. Cities are sometimes afflicted just as goad people are afflicted, and the earthquake, and the cyclone, and the epidemic are no sign In many cases that God is angry with a city, but the distress is sent for some good and kinl purpose, whether we understand it or not. The law that applies to individ uals may apply to Christian cities as well, "All things work together for good to those that love God." But the greatest calamity of history came upon Pompeii not to improve its future con dition, for it was completely obliterated and will never be rebuilt. It was so bad that it neededto be buried 1700 years before even nsroms -w ere "lit TO"b uncovered.- So Sodwsr and Gomorrah were filled wlth such turpi tude that they were not only turned under, but have for thousands of years been kept under. The two greatest cameteries are the cemetery in which the sunken ships are bur ied ail the way between Fire Island and Fastnet Lighthouse an 1 the other cemetery is the cemetery of dead cities. I get down on my knees and read the epitapheology of a loag line of them. Hero lies Babylon, once called ''the hammer of the whole earth." Dead and buried under piles of bitumen anl broken pottery and vitrefled brick. And I hear a wolf howl and a reptile his3 as I am reading this epitaph (Isiiah xtii, 21), ''The wild beast of t tie desert shall be there, and their housj shall bo full of doleful creatures." The next tomb I kneel before in this cem etery of cities is Nineveh. Her winge 1 lioni are down, aai the slab3 of alabaster have crumbled, and the S3ulpturethat represente 1 her battles is as completely s?atter.j 1 a tho dust of the heroes who fought theai. Per haps I put my knee Into th- dust of her S r danapalus as I stoop to rea I her epitaph (Zepaaniah il., 11,1 "Now is Nineveh desola tion aud dry like a wilderness, an I flo?ks lie down in the midst of her ; all thj beasts of the Nations, both the cormorant an 1 the bit tern, lodge in the upp-r lintels of it." Anl while I "rea I it I he ir an owl hoot and a hvena laugh. "The next entombed city I pass has a monu ment of fifty prostrate eolumnj of grxv anl red granite, and it is Tyre. Tho next se puleher of a great capital is covered with scattered columns anl defaced sphinxes and tho sands of the desert, and it is Thebes. As I pass on I find the resting plioe of Mycenae, a city of which Homer sang, and Corinth, which rejected Paul and depended upon her fortress. Acrocorinthus. which now lies dis mantled on the hill, and I move on in this cemetery of cities, and I find the tombs of Sardis and Smyrna and Persepolis and Memphis and Baalbek and Carthage, and here are the cities of the plain and Hrcu laneum and Stabia and Pompeii. Some of them have mighty sarcophagus and hiero glyphic entablature, but they are dead and buried never to rise. But the cemetery of dead cities is not yet filled, and if the present cities of the world forget God and with their indecencies shock the heavens let them know that the God who on the 24th of August. 79, dropped on a city of Italy a superincurnbrance that staid there seventeen centuries is still alive and hates sin now as much as He did then and has at His command all the armament of destruc tion with which He whelmed iheir iniquitous predecessorr. It Was only a few summers ago that Brook lyn and Ner York felt an earthquake throb that sent the people affrighted into the streets and that suggested that there are forces of nature now suppressed or held In check, which "easier than a child in a nursery knocks down a row of block houses could prostrate a city or engulf a continent deeper than Pompeii was engulfed. Our hope is in the mercy of the Lord continued to our American cities. It amazes me that this city, which has the quietest Sabbaths on the continent and tho beat order and the highest tone of morals of any city that I know of, is now having brought into as near neighborhood as Coney Island carnivals of pugilism as debasing as any of the gladiatorial interests of Pompeii. What a precious crew that Coney Island Ath letic Club i3, under whose auspices theso orgies are enacted ! What a degradation to the adjective "athletic," which ordinarily suggests health and muscle developed for useful purpose? Instead of calling it nn athletic club they might better style it '"The Ruffian Club For Smashing the Human Visage." Vile men are turning that Coney Island, which is one of the finest watering places on all the Atlantic coast, into a place for tho offscouring of the earth to congregate, the low horse jockeys and gamblers, and the pugilists and the pickpockets, and the bloats regurgitated from the depths of the worst wards of these cities. They invite delegates from universal loaferdom to come to their carnival of knuckles. But I do not believe that the pugilism contracted for and adver tised for next December will take place in our neighborhood. Evil sometimes defeats itself by going one step too far. You may drive the hoop ot a barrel down so hard that it breaks. I will not believe that the international prize fight will take place on Long Island or in the State of New York until 1 see the rowdy rabble rCiling drunk off the cars at Flatbush avenue and with faces banged and cut and bleeding from the imbruting scene. Against this in fraction of the laws of the State of New York I lift solemn protest. The curse of Almighty God will rest upon any community that con sents to such an outrage. Does any one thirk it cannot be stopped, and that the con stabulary would be overborne? Then let Governor Flower send down there a regiment of State militia, and they will clean out tho nuisance in one hour. Warned by the doom of other cities that have perished for their ruffianism, or their cruelty, or their idolatry, or their dissolute ness, let all our American cities lead the right way. Our only dependence is on God and Christrian influences. Tolitics will do noth ing but make things worse. Send politics to moralize and save a city, and you send smallpox to heal leprosy or a carcass to re lieve the air of malodor. For what politics will do I refer you to the eight weeks of stultification enacted at Washington by our American senate. American politics will become a reforma tory power on the same day that pandemoni um becomes a church. But there are, I am glad to say, benign and salutary and gra cious influences organized in all our cities which will yet take them f r God and right eousness. Let us p'y the gospel machinery to its utmost speed and power. City evai gelization is the thought. Accustomed as are religious pessimists to dwell upon statis tics of evil and dolorous facts, we want some one with sanctified heart r.ud good digestion to put in long line the statistics of natures transformed, and profligacies balked, and souls ransomed, and cities redeemed. Give us pictures of churches, of schools, of reformatory associations, of asylums of mercy. Break in upon the "Misereres" of complaint and despondency with "Te Denms" and "Jubilates of moral and re ligious victory." Show that the day is com ing when a great tidal wave of salvation will roll over all our cities. Show how Pompeii buried will become Pompeii resurrected. Demonstrate the fact that there are millions of gool men ani women who will give themselves no rest day nor night until cities that are now of the type of the buried cities of Italy shall take type from tho New Jerusalem cornin; down from Go I out of heaven. I hai the advancing morn. I make the same proclamation to-day that Gideon made to the shivering cowards of his army. "Whosoever is fearful and afraid, let him return and depart early from Mount Gile-'Kl." Close up th ranks. Lift the gos pel standard. Forward iuto this Armaged don that is now opening and let the word run all along the line: Brooklyn for God! All our cities for God! America for God ! The world for God ! The most of us here gathered, though born in tho country, will die in town. Shall our last walk be through streets where sobriety and good order dominate, or grogshops stench the fir? Shall our last look be upon city halls where justice reigns, or demazogues plot for the stuffing of ballot boxes? Shall we sit for the last time in some church where God is worshiped with the contrite heart, or where cold formalism goes through unmeaning genuflexions? God save the cities ! Righteousness is life ; iniquity is death. Itemember picturesque, terraced, temple!, sculptured, boastful, Gol defying and entombed Pompeii ! NEWSY GLEANINGS, Coat- is $ 12 a ton in London.

TRAIN ROBBERS KILLED. HUNTED DOWN IN THE ROCK IES IN A SNOW STOEM. JBIackfoot Scouts Trailed th Gang Which Held Up the Northern Pacific Train to a Hut Throe liobbers and an Indian Killed Two Bandies Captured.) Three train robbers and one member of an Indian posse were killed in a pitched battle which took plsnrni blinding enow storm necjr Two 3Iedi?ine Creek, on the east slope of the Rocky Mountains, not far from Kali spell, Montana. Their names were Charles Jones, alias Charles Kincaid. John Shipman and Ben Hall, alias Ben Mattocks, robbers, and Henry Schiber of the Indian police. Several other members of the posse were wounded. The robber0 were member of the gang of four which held up the Northern Pacific passen ger train near Livingstone, Montana, on August 25. They were traced from Livingstone by two Blackfoot scouts, who finally ran them to ground near Two Medicine Creek. The scouts returned to Kalispell and notified United States Marshall Jackson, who started out on the trail with a posse of about thirteen Blackfoot Indian police. Where the robbers' camp was struck at Two Medicine Creek was within a mile of the Great Northern Rail road. From signs about the tracks of the road it is believed that the gang intended to wreck or hold up a Great Northern train. There were five men, one of whom probabJv joined tho Northern Pacific robbers after their es cape from Livingstone, encamped in a log hou3e, which had been erected by Shepherd, Siems & Co., raliroad contractors. When Marshal Jackson reached the camp a heavy enow storm had set in. The cabin was surrounded, and Marshal Jackson approached it with a flag of truce and ordered the men to surrender. The answer was a sheet of flame from the win dows of the cabin. Henry Schiber was instantly killed. The fire was returned, but without effect.

Fisher, the new Cl'-velan 1 pit'dier. is said to have a remarkable drop ball. Denxt, who finished theseasoa with Louis ville, is batting with the bent of sluggers. John M.

A very novel idea wis that of the Cincin nati ground keeper who was marrle 1 at tha home plate. Possibly the idea was his bride's, in order to induce him to make a home run.

Harry Wright, of the Philadelphia1, is Said to be the advocate ot anew schftne to increase the excitement n tending a baseball game. He would have more batting, and suggests that the umpire do away with the rule calling balls and strikes. He thinkf that the umpire should not give a decision until it is "f4rikT out" or "base on balls." If this scheme was utilized he believes that pitchers and baiters would not waste so many good deliveries. FROM A CANNON'S MOUTH. Prompt l'unlsh.nent of Sepoy Muti neers In Cahtil.
