had lost theirs in the fire.
By a mistake of the types we were

Some facetious person has remarked
that the burned portion of the city has
completely got rid of the San Jose scale
which infested the shade and fruit trees.
Even if we have had a fire we are go

Jack Daley of Orass alley was no

old scrap iron remains of the fire, with
the intenlkm probably of starting a new
foundry, now that scrap is cheap and
plenty. " We hope so at leaat.
Up till Saturday, Port Townsend
and Baker Citv have the honor of being
, the only cities in the country to tele

ready to contribute to the needs of those
who have been left destitute by the fire,

So far as is known "Old Sally" had been
imbibing too much fire water and fell
off the bluff and broke her neck.

Their establishment is again open and
they are ready for business at the old

. Very great credit is due to the follow
ing express men and others for having
worked their teams hard all the day of
the fire, moving goods, and never
charged a cent for their labor: Bert
Campbell, A. S. Cathcart, Matshal Hill,
R. B. Hood, Geo. Snipes, Bert "Williams,
Jim Ferghson, Fred Williams, Joles
Brtohers. Others doubtless did the
same of whom we have not heard.
While Mr. C. Clarke, of Snipes &. Kin
ersly's, was trying to save his household
goods from the fire he came upon n ham
that he found ho would be unable to re
move. The happy thought struck him
of putting it in a bucket of water and
setting the bucket out in the yard. So
when the fire had subsided sufficiently
to allow him to approach the ruins he
found a nicf boiled ham cooked to a
turn.
The velocity of the wind during part
of the time when the lire was raging
mav be gathered from the fact that the
children of Mike Doyle, who lives seven
and one-half miles from The Dalles,
picked up, last AVednesday afternoon,
pieces of half burned printed paper
which the w ind had carried there from
The Dalles. The children thought the
pieces of paper had been blown from
. some neighboring ranch.

Yesterday it was commonly noted that
Mike Dimond was missing and it was
feared he had succu tried to the flames.
Today the worst fears cf ou citizens
were realized when all that was left of
him a few charred bones and a portion
of the viscera were found at the sonth-
west corner of E. P. FitzGerald's store,
corner ol federal ana hecona streets.
fhe coroner was duly notified, the re
mains were gathered together and a jury
snmmoned which met at two o'clock
There was little to tell beyond the fact
that Dimond was seen by L. S. Davis on
the roof of the building before it fell in
The remains were easily identified by
the human teeth, spectacle frame, pocket

always carried, portions of two trusses
which, it was known, he always wore
and portions of charred clothes.

Uihlietted in a Living Death.
In a recent sermon Dr. Talmage told
the pathetic story of Rizpah,the mother
of two of the dead bovs. who from her
tent on the rock close by the gibbets
kept up a continuous, tireless watch, by
day and bv night during all these
months, to guard the seven corpses from
the vultures, wolves and lion. He then
said :
Right here, in these three cities by
the American sea-coast, there are
thousand cases this moment worse than
that. Mothers watching boys that the
rum saloon, that annex of hell, has gib
beted in a living death. Boys hung in
chains of habit thev cannot break. Tne
father may go to sleep after wailing un
til twelve o,clock at night for the ruined
boy to come home and give it up
he may say : "Mother, come to bed ;
there's no use sitting up any longer,
But mother will not go to bed.
It is one o'clock in the morning. It is
half past one. It is two o'clock. It is
half past two when he comes staggering
throuoh the hall. Do von eav that
voung man is yet alive? No ; he k dead
Dead to his father's entreaties. Dead to
his mother's prayers. Dead to the fam
lly altar where he was reared. Dead to
all the noble ambitions that once in
spired him. Twicj dead. Only a corpse
of what he once was. Gibbeted before
God and man and angels and devils.
Chained in a death that will not loosen
its cold grasp.
His father is asleep ; his brothers are
asleep, his sisters are asleep, but his
mother is watching him, watching him
in the night. After he has gone up to
bed and fallen into a drunken sleep, his
mother will go up to his room and see
that he is properly covered, and before
she turns out the light will put a kiss
upon his bloated lips. "Mother, why
don't you go to bed?" "Ah she said,
"I cannot go to bed. I am Kizpah
watching the slain."
And what are the political parties of
this country doing for such cases? They
are taking care not lo hurt the feeling of
the jackal and the buzzards that loost
on the shelves of the grog-shops, and
hoot above the head.

ToPKKA, Kan., Aug. 9. Dr. Talmage
reached this city yesterday in the course of
hi.s western trip. He was warmly wel
comrd by the citizens, who came in large
numbers to hear the f::mous Brooklyn di
vine. The subject of the sermon for this
week is, "A Poor Investment," and the
text, Isaiah lii, 3, "Ye have sold yourselves
for naught; and ye shall be redeemed with
out money."
The lord's people had ono headlong
into sin, and as a punishment they had
been carried captive to Babylon. They
found that iniquity did not pay. Cyrus
seized Babylon, and felt so sorry for these
poor captives that, without a dollar of com
pensation, he let them go home. So that,
literally, my test was fulfilled. "Ye have
sold yourselves for naught; and ye shall be
redeemed without money."
sold Fon naught.
There is enough Gospel in this text for
fifty sermons. There are persons here who
have, like the people of the text, sold out.
You do not seem to belong either to your
selves or to God. The title deeds have been
passed over to "the world, the flesh, and the
devil, but the purchaser never paid up.
"Ye have sold yourselves for naught."
When a man passes himself over to the
world he expects to get some adequate com
pensation, lie has heard the great things
that the world does for a man, and he be
lieves it. Ha wants two hundred and fifty
thousand dollars. That will be horses and
houses, and n summer resort mid jolly
companionship. To get it he parts with
his physical health by overwork, lie parls
with his conscience. lie parts with much
domestic enjoyment. He parts with oppor
tunities for literary culture. He parts with
his soul. And so he makes over his entire
nature to the world.
He docs it m four installments. He pays
down the first installment, and one-fourth
of his nature is gone. He pays down the
second installment, and one-half of his
nature is gone. He pays down the third
installment, and thiee-quarters of his na
ture are gone, and after many years have
gone by he pays down the fourth install
ment, and lo! his entire nature is gone. Then
he comes up to the world and says: "Good
writ from the courts sells a man out the
officer generally leaves a few chairs and a
bed, and a few cups and knives; but in
this awful vendue in which you have been
engaged the auctioneer's mallet has come
down upon body, mind and soul going!
gone! "Ye have sold yourselves for
naught."
ONCE LOST IT 13 GONE FOREVER,
now could you do sof Did you think
that your soul was a mere trinket which
for a few pennies you could buy in a toy
shop? Did you think that your soul, i
once lost, might be found again if you
went out with torches and lanterns? Did
you think that your soul was shore lived,
and that, panting, you would soon lie
down for extinction? Or had you no idea
v. hat your soul was worth? Did you
ever put your forefingers on its eternal
pulses? Have you not felt the quiver of its
peerless wing? Have you not known that
I after leaving the body, the first step of
i your soul reaches K the stars, and the next
I step to the farthest ontposts of God's uni
i verse, and that it will not die until the day
when the everlasting Jehovah expires?
; Oh, my brother, what possessed you that
j you should part with your soul socheapf
I "Ye have sold yourselves for naught."
Hut I have some good news to tell you. I
j want to engage in a litigation for the recov-
ery of that soul of yours. I want to show
I that you have been cheated out of it. I
want to prove, as I will, that you were
i crazy on that subject, and that the world,
j under such circumstances, had no right to
j take the title deed from you; and if you
will join me I shall get a decree from the
I High Chancery Court of Heaven reinstat
I ing you in the possession of your soul,

I they are so expensive, and I cannot pay
j the cost." Then have you forgotten the
j last half of my test? "Ye have sold your
, selves for naught: and ye shall be redeemed
! without money."
j Money is good for a great many things,
i but it cannot do anything in this matter
i of the soul. You cannot buy your way
i through. Dollars and pounds sterling
mean nothing at the gate of mercy. If
j you could buy your salvation, heaven
would be a great speculation, an exten
sion of Wall street. Bad men would go
up aud bny out the place, and leave us to
shift for ourselves. But as money is not a
lawful tender, what is? I will answer.

blood than ours. It wants a king's blood.

fifty thousand dollars?" saj-s the world.
hat do you mean?" 'Yv ell," you say,
'I come to collect the money you owe me,
and I expect you to fulfill your part of the
contract." "But," says the world, "I have
failed. 1 am bankrupt. I cannot possibly
pay that debt. I have not for a long time
expected to pay it." "Well," you then
say, "give me back the goods." "Oh, no,"
says the world, "they are all gone. I can
not give them back to yon." And there
you stand on the confines of eternity, your
spiritual character gone, staggering under
the consideration that "you have sold yonr
self for naught."
TFIE WORLD IS A LIAR.
I tell you the world is a liar. It does not
keep its promises. It is a cheat, and it
fleeces everything it can put its hands on.
It is a bogus world. It is a six-thousand-
year-old swindle. Even if it pays the two
hundred aud fifty thousand dollars for
which you contracted, it pays them in
bonds that will not be worth anything in
must be a sinless torrent. But where is
the king?
I see a great many thrones and a great
many occupants, yet uoue seem to be com
ing down to the rescue. But after awhile
the clock of night in Bethlehem strikes
12, and the silver pendulum of a star
swings across the sky, and I see the King
of Heaven rising up, and he descends and
steps down from star to star, and from
cloud to cloud, lower and lower, until he
touches the sheep covered hills, and then
on to another hill, this last skull shaped,
aud there, at the sharp stroke of persecu
tion, a rill incarnadine trickles down, and
we who could not be redeemed by money
nre redeemed bv precious and imperial
blood.
fcO RELIGION" OF BRAINS.
We have in this day professed Christians
who are so rarefied and etherealized that
they do not want a religion of blood. What
do you want? You seem to want a reli
gion of brains. The Bible says, "In the
blood is the life." No atonement without
blood. Ought not the apostle to know?
What did he say? "Ye are redeemed not
with corruptible things, such as silver and
'hut biood. I tieuioie iroui head to ioot,
not because- I fear your presence, but be
cause I fear that you will miss your chance
for immortal rescue. This is the alterna
tive divinely put, "He that believeth on
the Son shall have everlasting life; and he
that believeth not on the Son shall not see
life, but the wrath of God abideth on him."
In the last day, if you now reject Christ,
every drop of that sacrificial blood, instead
ot pleading for your release as it would
have pleaded if you had repented, will
plead against you.
O Lord God of the judgment dayl avert
that calamity! Let us see the quick flash
of the scimeter that slays the sin but saves
the sinner. Strike, omnipotent God, for
the soul's deliverance! Beat, O eternal
sea! with all thy waves against the barren
beach of that rocky soul and make it
tremble. Oh, the oppressiveness of the
hour, the minute, the second on which the
soul's destiny quivers, and this is that
hour, that minute, that second!
ALL SIAT BE SAVED.
Some years ago there came down a fierce
storm on the seacoast, and a vessel got in
the breakers and was going to pieces.
They threw up some signal of distress and
I the people on shore saw them. They put
out in a lifeboat. 7. hey came on, and they
saw the poor sailors, almost exhausted,
clinging to a raft; and so afraid were the
boatmen that the men would give up be
fore they got to them they gave them three j
rounds of cheers, and cried: "Hold on,
there! hold on: We'll save yonl" After !
awhile the boat came up. One man was j
saved by having the boathook put in the
collar of his coat, and some in one way and '
some in another; but they all got into the I
boat. "Now," says the captain, "for the
shore. Pull away now, pull!" !
The people on the land were afraid the (
lifeboat bad gone down. They said: "How :
long the boat stays. Why, it must have 1
been swamped and they have all perished I
together." And there were men and worn- j
en on the pier heads and on the beach
wringing their hands; and while they i
waited and watched they saw something
looming up through the mist, and it turned
out to be the lifeboat. As soon as it came
within speaking distance the people on the
shore cried out: "Did you save any of them?
Did you save any of them?" And as the
boat swept through the boiling surf and
came to the pier head the captain waved
his hand over the exhausted sailors that
lay flat on the bottom of the boat and cried:
"All saved! , Thank God! All saved!"
So may it be today. The waves of your
sin run high, the storm 13 on yon, but I
cheer yon with this Gospel hope. God
grant that within the next ten minutes we
may row with you into the harbor of God's
mercy. Aud when these Christian men
gather around to seethe result of this serv
ice, and the glorified gathering on the pier
heads of heaven to watch nnd to listen,

The American Champlcn Sloereer Not a
Success in Australia.
Sax Fbaxcisco, Sept. 6. The John L.
Sullivan combination has been a dismal
failure in Australia. Night after night
John has had to plav to an arrav of
empty benches, and when the Mariposa
left the members of the troops were long
ing for San Francisco, On the opening
night all the toughs in Sydney filled
cheap seats, but in the dress circle was
not a lady to be seen. Everywhere that
Sullivan played it was the same; res
pectable people would not go to the
play. When the steamer left Sydney
builivan s combination were about to
proceed to Melbourne. A number of
Americans greeted Sullivan on his arri
val io the colonies, but no reception of
note was given him. Sullivan proceeded
to indulge in liquor on his arrival in
Sydney, but did not create any disturb
ance, uaptain n ay wood stated the sto
ries of Sullivan's conduct on shipboard
are much exaggerated. A party of five
roughs attacked Sullivan while in Her
Majesty's saloon, but tho latter and a
companion promptly knocked them
down, after which the roughs escaped.

down ten thousand dollars in hard cash
and Ret for it worthless scrip so the world
passes over to you the two hundred and
fifty thousand dollar in that shape which
will not be worth a farthing to you a
thousandth part of a second after you are
dead. "Oh," you say, "it will help to bury
me, anyhow." Oh, ray brotherl you need
not worry about that. The world will
bury you soon cnonpih from sanitary con
siderations.
Post mortem emoluments are of no use
to you. The treasures of this world will
not pass current in the future world, and
if all the wealth of the Bank of England
were put in the pocket of your shroud and
you in the midst of the Jordan of death
were asked to pay three cents for your fer
riage, you could not do it. There comes a
moment in your existence beyond which
all earthly values fail, aud many a man
has wakened up in such a time to find that
he has sold out for eternity and has noth
ing to show for it. I should as soon think
of going to Chatham street to buy silk
pocket handkerchiefs with no cotton in
them, as to go to this world expecting to
find any permanent happiness. It has de
ceived and deluded every man who has
ever put his trust in it.
NOT TRUE HAPPIXESS.
History tells us of one who resolved that
he would have all his senses gratified at
one and the same time, und he expended
thousands of dollars on each sense. He
entered a room, and there were the first
musicians of the land pleasing his ear, and
there were fine pictures fascinating his
eye, and there were costly aromatics regal
ing his nostrils, and there were the richest
meats and wines and fruits and confec
tions pleasing the appetite, and there was
a soft couch of sinful indulgence on which
he reclined, and tho man declared after
ward that ho would give ten times what ho
had given if he could have one week of
such enjoyment, even though he lost his
soul by it! Ah! that was the rubl He did
lose his soul by it! Cyrus the coDqueror
thought for a little while that ho was mak
icg a fine thing out of this world, and yet
before he came to his grave he wrote ont
this pitiful epitaph for his monument: "I
am Cyrus. I occupied the Persian empire.
1 was king over Asia. Begrudge me not
this monument." But the world in after
years plowed up his sepulcher.
The world clapped its hands aud stamped
its feet in honor of Charles Lamb; but
what does he say? "I walk up and down,
thinking I am happy, but feeling I am
not." Call the roll, and be quick about it.
Samuel Johnson, the learned! Happy?
"No. I am afraid I shall some day get
crazy." William Hazlitt, the great essay
ist! Happy t "No. I have been for two
hours and a half going up and down Pater
noster row with a volcano in my breast."
Smollet, the witty author! Happyf "No.
1 am sick of praise and blame, and I wish
to God' that I had such circumstances
around me that I could throw my pen into
oblivion." Buchanan, the world renowned
writer, esiled from his own country, ap
pealing to Henry VIII for protection!
Happy? "Xo. Over mountains covered
with snow, aud through valleys flooded
with rain, I come a fugitive." Moliere,
the popular dramatic author! Happyf
"No. That wretch of an actor just now
recited four of my lines without the proper
accent and gesture. To have the children
of my brain so hung, drawn and quartered
tortures me like a condemned spirit."

You put your lancet into the arm of our
holy religion and withdraw the blood, and
you leave it a mere corpse, fit only for the
grave. Why did God command the priests
of old to striko the kmfo into the kid, and
the goat, and the pigeon, and the bullock,
and the Iamb? It was so that when the
blood rushed out from these animals on
the floor of the ancient tabernacle the peo
ple should be compelled to think of -the
coming carnage of the Son of God. No
blood, no atonement.
I think that God intended to impresss us
with a vividness of that color. The green
of the grass, the blue of the sky, would not
have startled and aroused us like this deep
crimson. It is as if God had said: Sow,
sinner, wake up and see what the Saviour
endured for you. This is not water. This
is not wine. This is blood. It is the blood
of my Son. It is the blood of tVa immacu
late. It is the blood of God." Without
the shedding of blood is no remission.
There has been many a man who, in courts
of law, has pleaded "not guilty," who
nevertheless has been condemned because
there was blood found on his hands or
blood found in his room, and what shall
we do iu the last day if it be found that we
have recrucilied the Lord of Glory and
have never repented of it? You must be
lieve in the blood or die. No .escape. Un
less you let the sacrifice of Jesus go in your
stead you yourself must sutler. It is either
Christ s blood or your blood
"Oh," says some one, "the thought of
blood sickens me." Good. God intended
it to sicken you with your sin. Do not act
as though you had nothing to do with that
Calvanan massacre, lou had. lour sins
were the implements of torture. Those
implements were not made of steel and
iron and wood so much as out of your
sins. Guilty of this homicide, and this
regicide, and this deicide, confess your
guilt today. Ten thousand voices of heaven
bring in tha verdict against you of guilty,
guilty! Prepare to die or believe In that
blood. Stretch yourself out for the sacri
fice or accept tho Saviour's sacrifice. Do
not f.ing away your one chance.
HEAVEN WAXTS YOU.
It seems to me us if all heaven were try
ing to bid in your souL The first bid it
makes is the tears of Christ at the tomb of
Lr.ji'irsis, but that i3 not a high enough
pricu. The next bid heaven makes is the
sweat of Gethsemane, but it is too cheap a
price. The next bid heaven makes seems
to be the whipped back of Pilate's hall, but
it is not a high enough price. Can it be pos
sible that heaven cannot buy you in?
Heaven tries once more. It says: "I bid
this time for that man's soul the tortures
of Christ's martyrdom, the blood on his
temple, the blood on his cheek, the blood
on his chin, tho blood on his hand, the
blood on his side, the blood on his knee, the
blood on his foot the blood in drops, the
blood in rills, the blood in pools coagulated
beneath the cross; the blood that wet the
tips of the soldiers' spears, the blood that
plashed warm in the faces of his enemies."
Glory to God, that bid wins it! The
highest price that was ever paid for any
thing was paid for your souL Nothing
could buy it but blood! The estranged
property is bought back. Take it. "You
have sold yourselves for naught; and ye
shall be redeemed without money." O
atoning blood, cleansing blood, life giving
blood, sanctifying blood, glorifying blood
of Jesus! Why not burst into tears at the
thought that for thee he shed it for thee
the hard hearted, for thee the lost?
"No," says some one; "I will have noth
ing to do with it except that, like the ene
mies of Christ, I put both my hands into
that carnage and scoop up both palms full,
and throw it on my head and cry, 'His
blood be on us and on our children!' " Can
you do such a shocking thing as that? Just
rub your handkerchief across your brow
and look at it. It is the blood of the Son
of God whom you have despised and driven
back all these years. Oh, do not do that
any longer! Come out boldly and frankly
and honestly, and tell Christ you are sorry.
You cannot afford to so roughly treat him
upon whom everything depends.
BEWARE! BEWARE!
I do not know how you will get away
from this subject'. You see that you are
sola out, and that Christ wants to buy you
back. There are three persons who come
after you today God the Father, God the
Son and God the Holy Ghost. They unite
their three omnipotences in one movement
for your salvation. You will not take up
arms against the triune God, will you? Is
there enough muscle in your arm for such
a combat? By the highest throne iu heaven,
and by the deepest chasm in hell, I beg you
look out. Unless you allow Christ to carry
awav your sins, they will carry you away.
Unless yon allow Christ to life you up,
they will drag you down. There is only
one hope for vou, and that is the bio
