Dr. fFalmage to m ' ; day delivered through the press the sec ond of his, 'round jthe world" series of sermons, the subject being "The City of Blood, " bnd the test j selected being Psalms cxli 7: "Our j bon ss are scat tered at the brave's mouth, as "when one cutteth aijdjcleayth wood npon the earth. But jniine eyes are tmto thee, O God, the Lotdl" f f jj I .-. . ,.. ! Though ytu may. read this text from the Bible, I read it: as cut by chisel into the pedestal of a cross beneath which lie many of the massacred; at Cawnpur, India. ,.To: show jyou what Hindooism and Mohammedanism really are; where .they have j fall swing, and not as they represent tl emselves in a 'parliament of religions , " and to demonstrate to what extent of cruelty and bomination human nu t ire may go when fully let loose, and tjo illustrate the hardening process of sin, and to remind you how our glorious Christianity; may utter its triumph ovsr death and the grave, I preach . this my second sermon in the round the world series,; and I shall speak of "T le City of Blood, " or Cawn pur, India i j . I j Two hour 3 and ten minutes after its occurrence) i bseph Lee of the Shropshire regiment cjf foot rode in upon the Cawn pur massacr3. He was the first man I met at Cawiipnr. j I wanted to hear the story frora some one fho had been here in 1857 an j with! his own eyes gazed upon the slaughtered heaps of human ity. I could bardly wait until the horses were put to the I carriage, j and Mr. Lee, seated, with us, started for the scene, the story of which! makes i;ame in con trast all Mo loc and Choctaw butcheries. I J . Genuine Tillaiiu ' It seems that all the worst passions of the century were to be impersonated by one man, aid he 1 Nana Sahib, and our escort at C jwnpur, Joseph. Lee, knew the man personally. Unfortunately there is noj correct picture of Nana Sa hib in existence. j;ne pjc books of ures of him published in the Europe and America" add familiar to! us all are an t amusing mistake! This lis the fact in of England regard to thSom: A lawyer was called to India for Lthe purpose of defending the case of a native who had been charced with fraud.!! The attorney came and k skillfully managed the case of his client thatj the client paid him enormously I for his services, and he went back:- to England, taking with him a picture p his j Indian, client. After awhile the mutiny; in India broke out, and Nana j Sahib was mentioned as the champion j illain jof the whole affair, and the nqwspaperp of England wanted a picture of him and to interview some one on Indian affairs who had recently been in Indja. !;; j ! ! - : Among others the journalists called npon thia lawyer,! lately teliurned. The only picture he had brought from India was a picture of his client, the man charged with fraud. Th0 attorney gave this picture to the journals as a speci way the Hindoos dress, and men of the forthwith that piciure was used, either by mistake or intentionally, for Nana English lawyer; said he lived Sahib. The 1 in dread th ' "it u at his client would some day jsee ine use was not un made of his! picture, and it il the death 'of his Hindoo client that the i lawyer; divulged the ; J- i J J. J T - .I facts. Perhaps itlwas never intended that the face of such a demon should be preserved a: nid human, recjords. I said to our esco -t, "Mr. Leo, j was there any peculiarity in Nana Sahib's appear ance?" Tin replyjwas: "Nothing very peculiar. lfo was a dull,! lazy, coward ly, sensual man, brought up to do noth ing, and wa ated to continue on the same scale to do aothing." j . From wh it Mr. Lee told me and from all I could learn) in India, Nana Sahib ordered the massacre in that city from sheer revenue. His father abdicated the throne, and the English, paid him an nually a pei ision of. $400, 000. When the father died, the English government de clined to 'pay the ! same pension to the son, Nana i Sahib, but the (poor fellow was not in any suffering jfrom lack of funds. His father; left iiina $80,000 in gold ornaxr ents, $500, 000 in jewels, $800,000 in bonds and other resources amounting :o at least $15(1)0,000. But the poor y rang m!an wa$ pot satisfied, and the Cawnpur i massacre was his re venged General Wheeler, jthe English--man who hi d command of this city, al though of tie i warned, could- not see that the sepoys! were 'planning for his de struction, 'and that of all his regiments ana an theiiiuropeans in Jawnpur. rue uccree or Nana sahib. Mr. Lee Explained all! this to me by the fact that General Wlibeler had mar ried a nativp, and he naturally took her story and; thought there was no peril. But thgjiino for tile proclamation from Nana Sahib had come, arid such a docu--ment went forth; as nev,ei before had seen the li'g it of dc y. I glv a only an extract:- . . ; h j ; ' i ; "As by t io kindness of God, and the good fortime of; :ho enjperor, all the Christians H'ho were at pelhi, Poonah, Sattara and other places, and even those 5,000 Eurc pcah goldieri rho went in disguise iplo the forme city and were discovered, aro; destroyed and sent to hell by the pious and; sagacious 'troops who are fir n to their reli gion, and as they have all. ; bejn conquered by the present gciv orffEaent, and! as no trace of them is le Lfc in these places, it is the duty, of all the subjects and servants of the governr lent to rejoice an the delight ful intelligence and carry on their re spective fc rk with comfort and ease. As by the bounty of the glorious Al mighty anc the enemy destroying for tune of the emperor, the yellow faced and narrow minded people have been sent to hell, and! Cawnpur has, been conquered, it is i necessary that all the and govern- cubjects and landowners racnt servients should bo as obeduci tho r present novernment as they have been to the former one; that it is the incumbenj; duty of all the pedants an landed proprietors of every district to rejoico at the thought that the Chrisf tians havp been sent to hell, and both the Hiudco and Mohammedan religions have been confirmed, and that the should, as usual,! be obedient to the authorities of the government and nevep suffer any! complaint against themselves to reach t the ear3 cf the higher author- ! ' ! f "7 - j ' 1 - j , : j The Siege of Cawnpur. 'I "Mr. Lee, what is this?" I said to our escort as the carriage halted by aiji embankment "Here, " he said, "is the intrenchn ent where ftco Christians of Cawnpur took refuge. ' It is the remains of a wall which at the! time of the mu tiny was only four feet high, behind which, with no shelter from the sun the heat at 130 degrees, ! 440 men and 56 j) women ajnd children dwelt nearly a month. A handful of flour and splijt peas was ihe daily ration, and only tw wells near by, the one in which they buried thjeir dead, because they had np time to bury them in the earth, and the other welt the fbcus on! which the artil lery of th ) enemy played, so that it was a choice between death by thirst. arjl death by 'rallet or shell. Ten thousand yelling Hindoos outside this frail wall and 1,000 suffering, dying people inside. In addition to the army of the Hindoos and Moslems, an invisible army of sick nesses swooped upon them. Some went raving mad under exposure. Others dropped tinder apoplexy. A starving, mutilated, fevered, sunstruck, ghastly group waiting to die ! Why did not the heathen dash down those mud walls an the 10, OOj) annihilate the now less than 1,000? .It was because they seemed su- pernaturally defended. ! Nana Sahib resolved to celebrate anniversary. The 23d of June, 1857, would be 100 years since the battle of Plassy, when, under ; Lord Clive, India surrendered to England. That day the last European in! Cawnpur was to be slaughtered. Other anniversaries havfe been celebrated with wine. This was to be celebrated with blood. Other anni versaries iave been adorned with gar-, lands. This with drawn swords. Others have been kept with; songs. This with execrations. Others iwith the dance tif the gay. This with the dance of death.. The infantry and cavalry and artillery of Nana Sahib made on that day one grand assault, but the few guns of thje English apid Scotch put to flight thesje Hindoo tigers. The courage of the fiends broke against that mud wall as the waves of the sea against a lighthouse. The cavalry horses returned full run without tiheir riders. ' The Lord looked out from the heavens, and on that anni versary day gave the victory to his people-! j i - i ! - Therefore Nana Sahib must try some other plan. Standing in a field not far from the intrenchment of the English was a native Christian woman, Jacobee m I l 14 1 tit m m S by name, noming nign up in ner nana a letter. It was evidently a communi cation from the! enemy, and General Wheeler ordered the woman brought in. She handed him a proposed treaty. If General Wheeler and his men wou! d give up their weapons, Nana Sah:,b would conduct them, into safety. They could march out j unmolested, the me, women tnd children. They could go down tomorrow to the Ganges, where tney wouia nna Doats to tase inem ijx peace to Allahabad. ! j j ! . The Treaty Signed. i There yvas some opposition to signing this treaty,but General Wheeler's wife told him he could trust the natives, and so he signed the treaty. There was great joy in the intrenchment i that night. Without jmolestation they went out anjd got plenty of water to drink and water for a good wash. The hunger and thirst and exposure from the consuming suh, with the thermometer from 120 to 140; would cease. Mothers rejoiced at tlje prospect of saving their children. Tl?e young ladies of the intrenchment won jd escape the wild beasts! in human form. On the inorrow, true! to the promise, carts were ready to transport those who were too much exhausted to walk. Get in the carriage, " said Mr. Lee, "and we iwill ride to the banks of the Ganges, for which the liberated com- batants and noncombatants started from this place." On our way Mr. Lee point ed out a monument over the burial place which was opened for General Wheeler' s intrenchment, the well into which every night the dead had been dropped. Around it is a curious mem rial. There are five crosses, one at each comer of the garden and one at the cen ter from which inscription I today redd my text. Riding on, we came to" tllo Memoria . church built to the memory f those fallen in Cawnpur. The walls aye covered with tablets and epitaphs. II copied two or three of the inscription "These are they who come out of gret tribulation:" also. "The dead snail Be raised incorruptible:',' also: "In tile world ye of (good world;" Lord ha unto me, laden." "Get Lee, and shall have tribulation, but he cheer. !l have overcome the also: "The Lord gave. Tile h taken away;" also, "Conlo all ye that labor and are heavy. into the carriage," said M wo rode on to the Ganges aiid got out s it a Hindoo temple standing op. the banks. "No-v," said Mr. Lee, "here ! is the plclce to which ; General Wheeler j and his people camo under the escort of Nana SaMb.'' I went down the steps to the margin of the river. Down thejse steps went General Wheeler and tlje men, women and children unler his care. Tliey stood on " one side of tie steps, and Nana Sahib and his stapl stood on jthe other side. As the women were getting into the boats Nana Sahib objected jthat only the aged and infirln women and children should goon boad the boats. The; young and attractive wemen were kept out. Twentv-eisrit boats wei-e filled with men, women and children jand floated out into the river. Each boat contained ten armed natives. Then three boats fastened together were brought 1 up, and General Wheeler and ais staff got in. 1 Although orders were given to start, the three boats were itirae how detained. At this juncture a boy of 12 years of age hoisted cn thse top of the Hindoo temple on the banks two flags, a Hindoo and a! Mohammedan flag, at which signal the boatmen and armed natives jumped from the boats and swam for the shore, and from innumerable guns the natives cn the bank fired cn the boats, and masked batteries above and below roareel with destruction, and the boats sank with their precious car go, and all wentj down save three strong 6wimmers, whq got to the opposite shore. Those wijo struggled out near by were dashed to tjleath. Nana Sahib and his staff with their swords slashed to pieces General Wheeler and his staff, who had not got well away from the shore. " !. ..' I said that thtp young and attractive women were not! allowed to get into the boats. These wre marched away under the guard of the! sepoys. i i Days of Horror. "Which way" I inquired. "I will show you, " said Mr. Lee. Again we took seats in the ;carriage and started for the climax of desperation and diabolism. Now we are on the way to a summer house, called which had been the assembly rooms, built for recreation and pleasure. It had two rooms, each 29 by 10, and some windowless closets, and here were imprisoned 206 helpless peo ple. It was to become the prison of these women and children. Somo of these sepoys got permission of Nana Sahib to take one or more of these la dies to their own place on the promise they should be brought back to the sum mer garden next morning. A daughter of General Wheeler was so taken and did not return. She afterward married the Mohammedan who had taken her to his tent. Some sepoys amused tnjein selve3 by thrusting children through with bayonets and holding them up be fore their mothers in the summer house. All the doors closed and the sepoys standing guard, the crowded women and children waited their doom for 18 days and nights' amid sickness and flies and stench and starvation. -f 'V' Then Nana i$ahib heard that Ha ye lock was comidg, and his name was a terror to the sepoys. Lest the women and children imprisoned in the summer house, or assembly rooms, should be lib erated, he ordered that their throats should be cut. The officers were com manded to do the work and attempted it, but failed because the law of caste would notmliow the Hindoo to hold the victims while 'they were being ;slain. Then 100 menj were ordered to fire through the Windows, but they ' fired over the heads of the imprisoned ones, and only a few were killed. Then Nana Sahib was in a! rage and ordered pro fessional butchers from among the low est of the gypsies to go at the work. Five of them, -vith hatchets and swords and knives, began the work, but three of them collapsed and faintedmder the ghastliness,, and it was left jto two butchers to complete the slaughter. The struggle, tie sharp cut, the blind- ing blow, the cleaving through scalp and skull, the! begging for life, the hour after hour, the death agony o tangled limbs of the corpses, the piled up dead only God and those who were inside the summer house can ever know. The butchers came out exhausted, thinking they had done their work, and the doors were closed, but when they were again opened three women and three boys wera still alive. All these, were soon dispjitched, and not a Chris tian or a European was left in Cawn pur. The murderers were paid 50 cents for each lady slain. The Mohammedan assassins dragged by the hair the dead bodies out of the summer house and threw them into a well, by which I stood with such feelings as you cannot imagine. But after the mutilated bodies had been thrown into the well the rec ord of the scene; remained in hieroglyph ics of crimson on the floor and wall of the slaughter house. An eyewitness says that as he walked in the blood was shoe deep, and Dn this blood were tufts oi nair, pieces oi musiin, DroKen comDs, fragments of pinafores, children's straw hats, a cardcase containing a curl, with the inscription; "Ned's hair, j with love;" a few leaves of an Episcopal prayer book; also a book entitled "Preparation For Death;" a Bible on the fly leaf of "vyhich was written, "For darling mamma, from her affectionate daughter, Isabella Blair," both the one who presented jit and the one to. whom it was presentee! departed forever, I said, "Mr. Lee, I have heard that indelicate things were found written on the walls." He answered, "No. but these poor creatures wrote in charcoal and scratched pn the wall the story of the brutalities they had suffered. " "" V Havelock to the Rescue, j When the English and Scotch troops came upon the scene, their wrath was so great that General Neill had the batchers arrested, and before being shot compelled their, to wipe up part of the floor of this place of massacre, this be ing the worst of their punishment, for there is nothing that a Hindoo so hates as to touch blood. ri When Havelbck came upon the scene, he had this orjler annulled. y The well was now net only full of human bodies, but corpses piled on the outside. The soldiers were-f or many hours engaged in J covering the del; ad. r . j It was about 5 o'clock in the evening when I came u pon this place in Cawn pur. The building in whichthe mas sacre took placi has been torn, downjpd a garden of exquisite and fragrant flowers surrounds tho scene. Mr. Lee pointed out to us some 70 mounds con taining, bodies or portions of bodies cf those not thrown into the well, j A sol dier stands on guard to keep the foliage and flowers from being ruthlessly pulled. I asked a soldier if I might tako a rose fcs a memento, and he handed, me spy fluster of roses, red and whits, both colors suggestive to me the red typical Of the carnage there enacted and the white for the purity of these who from that spot ascended. . I But of course the most absorbing in terest concentrated at the well, into which hundreds of women and children were flung oi lowered. A circular wall of white marble incloses this well." The wall i3 about 20 1 feet high. - Inside this wall there is a marble pavement. I paced it and found it 57 paces around. In the center of this inclosuro and im mediately above the well of the dead is a sculptured angel of resurrection, with illumined face, .and two palm branches, meaning victory. This angel is looking down toward the slumberers beneath, but the two wings suggest the rising of .the last day. Mighty consola tion in marble! They went down under the hatchets of he sepoys. They shall come np under the trumpet that shall wake the dead. I felt weak and all atremble as I stood reading these words on the 6tone that covers the well: "Sacred to the perpetual memory of a great company of Christian people, chiefly women and children, cruelly massacred near this spot by the rebel, Nana Sahib, and thrown, the dying with, the dead, into the well beneath on the 15th day of July, 1857." On the arch of the mausoleum were cut the words, "These are they who came out of great tribulation. " The Fate of the Kehel. The sun was sinking beneath the hori zon as I came down, the seven or eight steps of that palace of a sepulcher, and I bethought myself: "No emperor, un less it was Napoleon, ever had more glories around his pillow of dust, and no queen, unless it were the one of Taj Mahal, had reared for her grander ceno taph than crowns the resting places of the martyrs of Cawnpur. But where rest the bones of the Herod of the nine teenth century, Nana Sahib? No one can tell. Two men sent out to find the whereabouts of the daughter of General Wheeler tracked Nana Sahib during a ! week's ride into the wilderness, and they were told that for awhile after the ; mutiny Nana Sahib set np a little pomp ! in the jungles. Among a few thousand Hindoos and Mohammedans he took for himself the only two tents the neighbors ; had, while they lived in the rain andi mud. Nana Sahib, with one servant j carrying an umbrella, would go every I day to bathe, and people would go and ! stare. For some reason, after awhile he I forsook even that small attention, and j disappeared among the ravines oi the j Himalayan mountains. He took with !; him in his flight that which he always took with him a ruby of vast value. He wore it as some wear an amulet. He wore it as some wear a life pre- tt - i. i - t : mi server, ne wore it on ms Dosom. . xne u Hindoo priest told him as long as he wore that ruby his fortunes would be good, but both the ,ruby and the prince who wore it have vanished. Not a treasure on the outside of the bosom, but a treasure inside the heart, is the best protection. Solomon, who had rubies in the hilt of swords, and rubies in the lip of the tankards, and rubies in his crown, declared that which Nana Sahib did not find out in time, "Wis-i! dom is better than rubies. " When the forests of India are cleared by the axes of another civilization, the lost ruby of this Cawnpur monster may be picked up and be brought back again to blaze among the world's ' jewels. But who shall reclaim for decent sepulture the remains of Nana Sahib? Ask the vul tures! Ask the reptiles! Ask the jackals! Ask the midnight Himalayas! Cruelty Matched Cruelty. Much criticism has been made of Sir Henry Havelock and Sir Colin Campbell because of the exterminating work they did with these sepoys. Indeed it was awf uL My escort, Mr. Jjee, has told me that he saw the sepoys fastened to the mouths of cannon, and then the guns would fire, and for a few seconds there would be nothing but smoke, and as the smoke began to lift fragments of flesh would be found flying through the air. Yon may do your own criticism. I here express no opinion. There can be no doubt, however, that that mode of final ly treating the sepoys broke the back of the mutiny. The Hindoos found that the Europeans could play at the same game which the, Asiatics had started. The plot was organized for the murder of all the Europeans and Americans in India. " Under its knives and bludgeons American Presbyterianism lost its glori-j ous missionaries, Bev; Mr. and Mrs. Campbell, Rev. Mr. and Mrs. MacMul lin, Rev Mr. and Mrs. Johnson, Rev.; Mr. and Mrs. Freeman. The work of slaughter had been begun in all direc- tions on an appalling scale, and the commanders of the English army made up their minds that this was the best way to stop it. A mild and gentle war with the sepoys was an impossibility, j The natives of India ever and anon have demonstrated their cruelty. I stood on the very spot in Calcutta where the na- tivesof India in 1756 enacted that scene' which no other people on earth could have enacted. f , The Black Hole prison has been torn; down, but a stone pavement 20 feet by 20 indicates the ground covered by the prison. The building had two small windows and was intended for two or three prisoners. These natives of India crowded into that one Troom of 20 feet by 20 feet 146 Europeans. The midsum mer heat, the suffocation, the trampling of one upon another, the groaning and! shrieking and begging and praying of all, are matters of history. The sepoys that night held lights to the small win dows and mocked the sufferers. Then all the sounds ceased. That night of June 20, 1756, passed? and 123 corpses were taken out Only 23 people of the 146 were alive, and they had to be pulled out from under the corpses. Mrs. Carey, who survived, was taken by the Indian nabob into his harem and kept a prisoner six years. Lucknow in 1857 was nnlv an echo of Calcutta in 1756. During the mutiny of which I have been speaking natives who had been in the service of Europeans and well treated by them, and with no cause of offense, would, at the call ot tne mutineers, auu without any compunction, stab to death the fathers and mothers Of the household and dash out the brains of the children. These natives are at peace how, but give them a chance, and they will re-enact the scenes of 1756 and 1857. They look tpon the English as conqner and themselves as conquered.' The matiny of 1857 occurred because the British government was too lenient and put in places of trust and in command of forts too many of the natives. r 1 England Too lenient. I call .upon England to stop the pres ent attempt to palliate the natives by allowing them to hold positions of trust I am no. alarmist, but the only way that these Asiatics can bo kept from another f mutiny is to put them out of power, and I say beware, or tho Lucknow and f!iwTiTYnr Wnrt TW!V.i n-rfwi,o which thejhemispheres have wept, will ua euubu uy me ijucxnow ana uawn pur and Delhi martyrdoms yet to be enacted I speak of- what ;! have seen and heard.j I give the opinion of every intelligent Englishman and Scotchman and Irishman and American whom I met in India. Prevention is better than cure. !doj not say it is better that Eng land rule India. I say nothing against the right of India to rule herself, but I do say that the moment the native pop ulation of India think there is a possi bility of jdriving back Europeans from India they will make the attempt, and that thy nave enough cruelties for the time suppressed, which, if let loose, would submerge with carnage every thing from Calcutta to Bombay and from the Himalayas to Coromandel. Now, my friends, go home, after what I have said, to see the beauties of the Mohammedanism and Hindooism which imanv think it will bo wpII to have introduced into America, and to ! dwell upon what natural evolution will j do where it has had its unhindered way for thousands of years, and to think upon the wonders of martyrdom for Christ's sake, and to pray more earnest prayers for the missionaries, and to con tribute; more largely for the world's evangelization, and to be more assured than ever that the overthrow of the idolatries; of nations is such a stupen dous work that nothing but an omnipo tent God through the gospel of Jesus Christ can ever achieve it Amen!
