REV. DR. TALMAGE.
THE BROOKLYN I> I TINE’S SUNDAY
SERMON.
TiXT: “TVo cubits and a half wax the
length of it. and a cubit and a half the
breadth of it, and a cubit and a half the
height of it.”— Exodus xxxvii, 1.
Look at it—the sacred ibest of tfco an
cients. It was nltont five foot long, three
feet wide and tlireo feet high. It was
within and out of puro gold. <in the
top of it stood two nugels facin'! each
other with outspiead wings. In that
■acred box was the law, and there
were in it a great many precious stones.
With that box went the fate of the nation.
Carried in front of the host, the w aters of
the Jordan parted. Divinely charged, cost
ly, precious, momentous box. No unholy
banns might lay ho d of it. It was called the
ark of the covenant. But you will under
stand it was a box, the most precious bos of
the ages. Where is it now? (loneforever.
Not a crypt of church or museum of the
world has a fragment of it.
But is not this nation God’s oho en f>cople!
Have we not passed through the Ke I tsea?
Have we not been lei with a pillar of tire by
night? Has this nation no aid: of the cove
nant? Yes. the ballot box, the sacri d chest
of the nation, the ark of the American cove
nant.
In it is the law, in it is the divine and the
human will, in it is the fate of the nation.
Carried in front of our host again and nga-n
the waters of national trouble have jiurtod.
Mighty ark of the covenant, the American
ballot box! It is a very old box.
In Athens, long before the art of printing,
the people dropped pebbles into it to give ex
pression to their sentiments. Afier that
beans were dropped into it—a white bean for
the affirmative, a black lean for the nega
tive. After that, when they wished to vote
a man out of citizenship,they would write his
name upon a shell and drop that into the U»x.
O’Connfell and Grote and Golden and Ma
caulay and Gladstone fought grtut battles in
the introduction of the ballot boxes in Eng
land, and to-day it is one of the fustn- s -s of
that nation. It is one of the corner stones of
our government. It is older than the consti
tution. In it is our national safety. Tell me
what will be tlie fate of the American b illot
box, the ark of the Ams rican covenant, and
I will tell you what will lie the fate oi this
nation. Give the people once a year, or once
in four-years, an opporturiityjto express their
political sentiments, and you practically
avoid insurrection and revolution.
Either give them the ballot or they will
take the sword. Without thy ballot box there
can be no free republican institutions. Mil
ton visiting in Italy noticed that on the sides
of Vesuvius gardeners and farmers were at
work while the voleano was in eruption, and
he asked them if they were -afe. “Y. s," said
the farmers and the gardeners, “it is safe;
all the danger is before the eruption; then
comes earthquake and terror, but ju-t as
soon as the volcano begins to pour fort h lava
we all feel at rest’’ It is the suppression of
political sentiment, the suppression of
public opinion, that makes moral earth
quake and national e&rlliqunke. Lot pub
lic opinion pour forth, and that gives
satisfaction, and that gives |><-uee, and
that gives permanency to good govern
ment. Ami yet, though the ballot i.ox is the
sacred chest and the ark of the American
covenant, you know as w II a. 1 know it hns
its sworn antagonists, and 1 fTopose this
morning, in God's name and as a Christian
patriot, to set before you the names of some
of the sworn enemies of this sacred che*:, t he
ark of the American covenant, the ballot
box.
First, I remark, ignorance is a mighty foe.
Other things being equal, the more intelli
gence a man has the better he is qualified to
exercise the right of suffrage. You have
been ten, fifteen, twenty, thirty years study
ing American institulinns; you nave can
vassed all the great «|iiestions about tariff and
home rule and all the educational quest ions,
and everything in Americen politics you are
well acquainted with. You consider your
self competent to cast a vote next Tuesday,
and you are confident. You will take your
position in the line of electors, you will wait
for your turn to come, thy judge of election
will announce your name, you will cast your
vote and pass out. Well done.
But right behind you thcr • will come a
man who cannot spell the name of comp
troller, or attorney or mayor. He cannot
write, or if he can write he uses a small “i”
for the personal pronoun. lie could not tell
on which side of the Allegheny mountains
Ohio is. Educated canary birds, educated
horses know more than h«/ He will cast his
vote and it will balance your vote. His ig
norance is as mighty a< your intollicence.
That Is not right. All men of fair min t will
acknowledge that that is not rigid. I nti! :x
man can read the Declaration of Inlepr-n 1-
eoco and the constitution of the I mt *l
States, and calculate the interest on the
American debt, and know the difference be
tween a Republican form of government and
a monarchy or a despot.siu, he is unlit to ex
ercise the right of suffrage at any ballot box
between Key West and Alaska.
In 1872 in England there were 2.000,000
children who ought to have been in’school.
There were only 1,333,(MK), in other words,
about 50 per cent., and of the 50 per cent, not
more than 5 per cent, got anything worthy
the name of an education Now, take that
foreign ignorance and add ittoou> American
ignorance, and there will he in November
thousands and thousands of jxoplewho are
BO more qualified to exercise the right of suf
frage than to lecture on astronomy. How
are these things to be corrected? By laws of
compulsory education, well executed. Igo
in for a law whicb.after giving fair warning
for a few years, shall make ignorance t*
crime. There is no excuse for ignorant* on
these subjects in this land.wlicre the common
schools make knowledge as free as the fresh
air of heaven. 1 would have a lioard of ex
amination seated beside the officers of regis
tration, and let them decide whether tin* men
who come up to vote have any capacity to
be monarch* in a land where we are all man
archs. One of the most awful foes of the
American ballot Ijox to-day is popular ignor
•nee. Educate the people, give them an op
portunity to know and understand what
they da If they will not take the educa
tion. deny them the vote.
Another powerful enemy of this sacred
chest, the ark of the American covenant, the
ballot box. is Kpurious voting. In JN'O, in
Brooklyn, then- were a thousand lining re
corded of persons who bad no residence here,
and if there were a thousand attempt' d
fraudulent totes in the b**st«ity on the con
tinent, what may we expe l in cities not so
fortunate? What a grand thing is the law or
registration! Without it elections in this
*®®ntry would 1*» a farce There must Ihi a
Scrutiny on this subject. Tin- Jaw mus*. have
keenest twist for the neck of repeaters i*>rno
tbing more than slight fine and short im
prisonment. It is an attempt at the un-an-tst
ation of the Republic when a man attempts
put in a spurious vote. In olden tirn***
when men laid unholy hands on Die nrk of
the covenant they dropped down dead. Wit
ness (Txzah. And when men attempt, to put
unholy hands «m the Aroeri an ballot Ih>x,
the ark of the American covenant, they do
wry# extermination
Another powerful foe of tins sacred chest
Is intimidation.
Corporations sometime* domnnd that their
emnloree vote in this an 1 that way. It is
AUfufly done. It is not positively in so
many words ilemanded. but the employe un
derstands be will be frozen out of th estab
lishment unless he votes as tl*e firm do. So
Ton can go into villa# k whore there «ro «•*-
teblishmerita with hundreds and thousands
of employe*, and having found out th poli
ties of the head men In the factory, you < an
tell which way the election h going' Vow.
that is damnable If in «nv pre met in t:»o
Unite! Htiles a min • fiMi|o{ vot* m !»•» i
pleases, there is «»•«••*lung . ifu’l. ur<w, -.
How do you treat that mpo» •
differently from wlint y u l<»' »' h v • *i m/
tou do not Msrlfni with the riu.ht of » j
frags. But yon cell him m o y<..ip p-iv-Pv
office, and you find fault with h ■ vvm rm {
ffer • while you Ml Mm them •««.#, I
or an mint, or a niece,or a nephew that must
have that poe'tion. You do not. say it is be
cause he voted this or that way, but he knows
nnd Gikl knows it is. If that man has given
to you in hard work nn equivalent for the
wages you pay him, you Imve no right to ask
anything else of him. He sold you his work;
he did not sell you his fiolitica] or religious
principles. But you know as well as I do
there is sometimes on that sacred chest, the
ark of the American covenant, a shadow cor
porate or monopolistic.
Another powerful foe of that sacred chest,
the ark of the American covenant, the ballot
box, is bribery.
Ycrv often it. is not. money that bribes, but
it. is office. “You make me President and I’ll
unite you a Cabinet officer; you in ike me
Governor and I’ll make you Surveyor-Gen
eral; you make me Mayor and I’ll put you on
the Water Board; you give mo position and
was given away threo months befor the elec
tion. Two Jong lines of worm fence, one
worm fence reaching to Albany and the other
to Washington, and there a great many
citizens astride the fence, nnd they are
equally poised, and they are waiting to see
on which side there is most emolument, and
on this side they get down. But bribery
kicks both ways. It kicks the man that of
fers it and the man that takes it. Bribery
PI give you position.” That is the form of
; vino often nnd often in these great cities. I
no not say it is in our city, hut you know
again and again throughout the land these
have been the forms of bribe offered. So it
M ofien the case that, bv the time a man comes
to an office to which ho has been elected he
is from the crmvn of head to the sole of foot
mortgaged with pledges, and the man who
go s to Albany or to Washington to get an
office is applying for some position wbio*
. .-.lav you will admit to be one of the might
iest I'o«*s of tho American ballot box.
Another great enemy of that, sacred chest
is defamation of character. Can you find
out from the newspapers when two men are
running for office which is the best? How
oft-n in the autumnal elections the good man
is denounced and the bad man applauded, so
tliat you can come sometimes to no just
opinion as to who is the best man, nnd there
are hundreds and thousands of electors who
go up to vote so utterly befogged they know
not what they do. Is not that a fearful in
fluence to be brought upon the ballot box of
this country? it has been so ever since the
foundation of this Government.
Defamation! It is the cm so of the Ameri
can ballot box. Just as soon ns in the great
cities a man is put up for office he is made
the target. The fact that In* is up is pritna
facia evidence that he must Le brought down.
His public life nnd his private life are scruti
nized, uud nil the electric lights are turned
on. How often it is that men have gone
down under such things. In every autumnal
election the air is filled with carrion crows
scenting carcasses. Caw! Caw! Caw! There
are newspapers in the United .States that in
the great auiumnui elections take wild
license lor liberty. They are filled with
caluniy. The editorial columns of such
papers reek with it; their columns are
slurb d with it. There are newspapers in
the United States which in the great popu
lar elections breakfast and dine and sup on
indecency. They wallow in it. Swine like
tho m>ro. They give more for one quill full
of it than a whole hogshead of decent pro
duct. There are in these great autumnal
elections men sitting in editorial chairs who
writ, with a quill, not plucked from the stu
pid goose or tho sublime eagle, but from a
turkey buzzard! Ghouls! Ghouls! They
tip tho city sewer into their editorial ink
stands. Defamation oi character is one of
the curses of tho American ballot box to-day.
In your great presidential elections who can
teil from what he reads who is the man he
ought to vote for? Bad men sometimes ap
plauded, good men denounced.
Another powerful foe of the sacred chest,
the ark of the American covenant, tho bal
lot Ik»x. is the rowdy and drunken caucus.
The ballot box does not give any choice to
a man when the nominations are made in the
back part of a grogg< ry. When the elector
comes up he has to choose between two evils.
In some of the cities men have come to the
ballot liox to vote, and have found both
names such a scaly, greasy and stenchful
crew they hail no choice. You say vote for
somebody outside. Tlr n they throw away
their vote. Christian men of New Yojrk and
Brooklyn, honorable men. patriotic men, go
nnd take possession of the caucuses. First
having saturated your pocket handkerchiefs
with cologne or some other disinfectant, go
down to the caucus and take posses
sion of it in tho name of the Lord God
Almighty and the American people, though
after you < oino back you should Imve to
hang your hat nnd coat on a line in the bock
yard for ventilation.
Now, how are these tilings to bo remedied?
Borne say by a property qualification. They
say that alter a man gets a certain amount
of property—a certain amount of real estate
—he is financially interested in good govern
ment, and ho becomes cautious and conserva
tive 1 reply, a property qualification would
shut off from tho ballot box a great many of
the l**sfc men in the land. Literary men are
almost always jKior- A pen is a good imple
ment to make the world hett*r, but it is a
very poor implement, to get a livelihood ordi
narily. I have known score* of literary men
who never owned a foot of ground and never
will own a foot of ground until they get
und?r it. I’ro lessors of colleges, teachers of
schools, editors of news; aj*ors, ministers of
religion, qualified in every possible way to
vote, yet no worldly success. There has been
many a man who has not had a house on
earth who will have a mansion in heaven.
There are many who through accidents ot
fortune have come to great success while
they are profound in their stupidity, os pro
found m their stupidity os a man of large
fortune with whom 1 was crossing the ocean,
who told tno he was going to see th» dykes of
Scotland! When a member of my family
asked a lady on her return from Europe if
she had seen Mont Blauc, she replied: “Well,
really, 1 don’t know; is that in Europe!”
Ignorance by the square foot. Property
qualification will not do. The only way
these evils will l<e eradicated will bo by
more thorough legal defense of the ballot
box and a morn thorough moralization
and Christianization of the people. That
ark of the covenant was carried
into captivity to Kirjath-jearim, but one
day the people hooked oxen to a cart, and
they put tuh ark on the cart, nnu the
cart wus taken to ./erusaleiu the ark of
the covenant coming with the snouting and
thanksgiving of the people. And though
the American ballot box, the ark of the
American covenant, our sacred chest, has
l*e n carried again and again into captivity
by fraud and iniquity and spurious voting, I
believe it will be brought back yet by prayer
and by < hiistiaii consecration, and will be
set down in the mid-d, of the temple of
Christian patriotism. Whose responsibility ?
ours and mine.
You have not only a vote, you have a
prayer. The prayer may be mightier than
the vote. Oh, as citi/en s of this Ix-autiful
city, and of this Bti»t“, nnd of this nation, let
us do our whole duty. We cannot live under
any other form of government thau that
which God has given us in this country. The
stars on our flag are not the stars of a thick
ening in ',lit, but the stars sprinkled amid the
bars of morning cloud. We arc goiug to
have one government on this entire conti
nent. l>-t the despotism* of Asia keep
their feet On the Pacific coast ami let the
tyrannies of Europe keep their feet off
the Atlantic coast. We are going to have
one government Mexico will follow Texas
into the i nlon, and Christianity and civili
zation will stand side by side in the halls of
the Monte/muo*. And if not in our day,
I b n in the day of our children, Yuca

we will woo our fair neighbor of the North,
and then England wdl say to Canada: “You

Good War to Cook Tomato*,
A good RDd unusual way to cook to
matoes is the following: Peel and aliet
eight tomatoes. Put them in a coarse
cloth and press most of the juice into s
bowl. Save the juice. Chop the ten*
toes and mix in two tablespoonfufa m
melted butter. Stir up well, put ia t
buttered mold, fit on the top, set n s
pot of boiling water, and keep at a fast
boil for one hour. When done turn exst
on a flat dish and pour over it the fei»
lowing source: Heat the tomato juice,
stir in a tablespoonful of butter rolled i»
flour, season with pepper, sugar and salt,
and boil one minute.

Sanitary Bedrooms.
“Woolen carpets are filthy,” says Dr.
John Crowell in Popular Science Neirt,
“and it the good housewife does not be
lieve it, let her look across the room
when tho sun is shining through it, and
see the dust constantly rising. This process
goes on night and day, and Is unavo d
able when the floor is encumbered with
the woolen covering.” Hard floors,
without cracks or seams for dust and
vermin, painted walls, simple furnish
ings, because of dust and “germs,” an
open fireplace, sunshine for disinfecting
nnd drying, no draperies to catch and
hold dust,the iron or brass bedstead and
hair mattress—these constitute the es- {
sentials of a sanitary sleeping-room. The
old-fashioned wash-stand is recom
mended as far more desirable than set
bowls with hot and cold water, as these
are rarely trapped properly, aud so be
come sources of pollution to the bed
room.—Law of Life.
\ Suggestion tor Old Boxes.
Do mothers and nurses know how
much enjoyment and fun can be had out
of different styles of boxes that we so
ruthlessly destroy! If all the members
of the family will save the boxes they
will find, some stormy day when children
are forced to remain indoors, that a trip
to the attic (where the boxes can be
kept) will afford a great deal of amuse
ment. The little girls of the family will
select a good-sized box for a new kind of
doll’s housp, and mamma or nurse ran
easily teach them how to cut cardboard
furniture to furnish this little house. If
it is summer time, make a tiny house out
of nn old cardboard box, and paste on
to it dried moss, then set it on a shingle
and have a little gravel path leading up
to the door. On one side have a bit of
looking-glass fur a pond, and some
branches of evergreen boughs for trees.
You can add whatever elsu you like to
make it look like an old fashioned farm
house. '1 his simple toy has kept little
girls happy for whole summers.
The boys can use the boxes for thea
tres, Punch and J udy and many different
kinds of shows.
The baby will be amused with an old
tin box, some beans or pebbles put inside,
and the outsidecovered with some bright
colored flannel after the cover is firmly
fastened. This will make a good rattle,
and if a string be tied to the box
it can be drawn on the floor, or be sus
pended from the chandelier and swung
if the baby is too young to walk.
All these simple thugs have been
he’ps to many mothers and nurses on
rainy days, when the expensive toys of
the nursery havo grown old and the lit
tle children are longing for something
new.
When you go away from home for the
summer put some boxes and bright col- 1
ored papers and cloths into your trunk;
you will find ihem useful and very ac
ceptable when the children cannot hare
their own nursery or the toys it contains.

Things Worth Knowing.
I. That fish may be sealed much easier
by dipping into boiling water about a
minute.
a. That fish may as well be scaled if
desired before packing down in salt,
though in that case do not scald them.
a. bait fish are quickest and best
freshened by soaking in sour milk.
4. Thutmilk which is turned or changed
may be sweetened or rendered tit for use
again by stirring in a little soda.
5. That salt will curdle new milk,
hence in preparing milk porridge,
gravies, etc., the salt should not be added
until the dish is prepared.
(i. That fresh meat, after beginning to
sour, will sweeten if placed out of doors
in the cool of night.
7. That clear boiling water will re
move tea stains and many fruit stains.
Pour the water through the stain and
thus prevent it spreading over the fabric.
H. That ripe tomatoes will remove ink
and other stains from white cloth; also
from tho hands.
!). That a tablespoonful of turpentine
boiled with your white clothes will aid
in the whitening process.
10. That boiled starch is much im
proved by the addition of a little sperm
or a little salt, or a little gum arabic
dissolved.
11. That beoswax and salt will make
your rusty flat irons as clean and smooth
as glass. Tie a li m> of wax in a bag
and keep it for that purpose. When
the irons arc hot, rub them first with the
wax rag, then scour with a paper or
cloth sprinkled wilh salt.
12. That blue ointment and kerosens
mixed in equal proportions and applied
to the bedsteads ia an unfailing bedbug
remedy, aud that a coat of whitewash is
ditto for the walls of a log house.
13. That kerosene will soften boots or
shoes that have been hardened by water
and render them as pliable oa new.
14. That kerosene will make tin tea
kettles as bright as new. Saturate a
woolen rag and rub with it. It will nlan
remove stains from the clean varnished
furniture.
15. That cool rainwater and soda will
remove machine grease from washable
fabrics.

Millionaire Flood’s Gold,
j Flood’s estate is valued by good
, judges at $15,000,000. At the height
-of the bonanza excitement, when sharos
on the leading mines brought $1)00 and
paid S6O a month dividend, Flood’s
wealth was rated st $40,000,000, but
I then came the great shrinkage in Corn
stock values, which cut down the for
-of all the mining millionaires fully
one-half, and Flood’s losses by tho
Nevada Bank wheat deal were fully $5,-
000,000. The property will probably be
equally divided between the wife, son
and daughter. The latter was always
Flood’s favorite, and at one time she
possessed in her own right $6,000,000
I in real estate and Government bonds.
She gave much of this tp ljolp her father
out of his embarrassment a year ago, but
still owns about $2,000,0U0. Young
Flood isshrewd, but has no stability,and
the old man never trusted him in any
Urge deals. —san Francisco Alta.
Youngest Wearer of Penal Stripes.
Probably the youngest convict in tho
United States is now in the Stute prison
in Nashville, Teun. His name is Can
Jordan and he was sent fiom Memphis.
He is less than eleven years old and is
j small for his age. He was convicted of
having stolen $5 and ventenced to three
years in the penitentiary. When the
first night of his incarceration came the
guard did not lock him in a solitary cell,
but allowed him to lie on n b'anket by
the stove, where he sobbed himself to
sleep. He has a widowed mother in
