Dr, Talmage to -day delivered through. the press the second of his "Round-thee World" series of sermons, the subject being, "The City of Blood," and the text Selected being, "Psalms 141:7, i•Our bones are scattered at the grave's mouth, as when one outteth and ch aveth wood uponthe earth, But mine eyes are unto then, 0 God the Lord." Though you may read this text from the Bible, I read it as out by chisel into the pedestal of a cross beneath wllioh lie many of the massacred at Cawnpore, In• dia. To show you what Hinclooism and Mohammedanism really are, where they have full swing, and not as they repre- sent themselves in a "Parliament of Re- ligions," and to demonstrate to what ex- tent of cruelty and abomination human nature may go when fully let loose, and to illustrate the hardening process of sin, and to remind you bow our glorious Christianity may utter its trample over death and the grave, 1 preach this my second sermon in the " Round -the - World" series, and I shall speak of the City of Blood," or Cawnpore, India. fol of dour and split peas was the daily ration, and only two wells near by, the one in which they buried their dead, be- cause they had no tilno to bury them in the earth, and the ether well the focus on whish the artillery of the enemy played, so that it was a, choice between death by thirst and death by bullet or shell. Ten thousand yelling Hindoos outside this frail all and 1,000 suffering dying people inside, In addition to tee army of the Hindoos and Moslems, an invisible army of sickness swooped down upon them.

It wars becausethey seemed supernaturally. defended, Nana Sahib resolved to celebrate au annivereary ? The 21rd of June, 18 7, would be one hundred years since' the battle of Plassy, when under Lord Clive, India,surrendered to England. That day the last European in Oa.vnpore was to be slaughtered. Other anniversaries have been celebrated with wine ; this was to be celebrated with blood. Other anni• versaries have been adorned with gar- lands ; ar-lands; this with drawn swords, Others have been. kept with songs ; this with ex aerations. Others with the dance of the gay; this with the dance of death. The infat.t7 and cavalry and artillery of Nana Sahib made on that day one grand assault, but the few guns of the English and Sooteh put to flight . these Hindoo tie'ors. The courage of the fiends broke against that mud wall, as the waves of the sea against a lighthouse. The cav- alry hors s returned full run, without thou riders. The Lord looked out from the heavens, and on that anniversary day gave the victory to His peop e. Two hours and ten. minutes after the occurrence Joseph Leo, of the Shropshire Regiment of Foot, rode in upon the Cawnpore massacre. He was the first man I met at Cawnpore. I wanted to hear the story from some one who had been here in 1857, and with his own eyes gazed upon the slaughtered heaps of hu- manity. I could hardly wait until the horses were put to the carriage, and Mr. Lee, seated with us, started for the scene. the story of which makes tame in con- trast all Modem and Choctaw butcheries. It seems that all the worst passions of the century were to be impersonated by one man, and he, Nana Sahib, and our escort at Cawnpore, Joseph Lee, knew the man personally. Unfortunately, there is no correct picture of Nana Sahib in existence. The pictures of him pub- lished in the books of Europe and Amer- ica, and familiar to us all, are an amus- iitg mistake. This is the fact in regard to them: A. lawyer of Englandwas call- ed to India for the purpose of defend- ing the case of a native who had been charged with fraud. The attorney came and so skilfully managed the case of his client that his client paid him enormous- ly for his services, and he went back to England, taking with him a picture of his Indian client. After a while the mut- iny in India broke out, and Nana Sahib was mentioned as the champion villain' of the whole affair, and the newspapers of England wanted a picture of him and to interview someone on Indian affairs who had recently been in India. Among others the journalists called upon this lawyer, lately returned. The only pic- ture he had brought from India was a picture of his client; the man charged with fraud. The attorney gave this pic- ture in the jouraals as a specimen of the way the Hindoos dross, and forthwith that picture was used, either by mistake or intentionally, for Nana Sahib, The English lawyer said he lived. in dread that his eli nt would some day see the use made of his picture, and it was not until the death of his Hindoo client that the lawyer divulged the facts. Perhaps it was never intended that the face of such a demon should be preserved. among human records, I said to our escort: "Mr. Leo, was thereany peculiarity ec li ritypin Nana Sahib's appearance was : "Nothing very peculiar. He was a dull,lazy, cowardly, sensual man, brought up to do nothing, and wanted to continue on the same scale to do troth ing," From what Mr. Les told me, and from all 1 could learn in India, Nana Sa- hib ordered the massacre in that city from sheer revenge. His father abdica- ted the throne, and the English paid him annually a pension of 8100,000. When the father died the English Government declined to pay the same pension to the son, Nana Sahib, bat the poor fellow was not in any suffering from lack of funds. His father left him $83,000 in gold orna- ments, L$503,000 in jewels, $830,000 in bonds and other resources amounting to at least $1,5.0,000. But the poor young man was not satisfied, and the Cawnpore massacre was his revenge. Gen. Wheeler, the Englishman who had command of this city, although often warned, could not see that the Sepoys were planning for his destruction, and that or all of his regiments and all the Europeans in Cawnpore,' Mr. Lee explained all this to me by the fact that General Wheeler had mar- , ried a native, and he naturally took her story, and thought there was no peril. But the time for the proclamation from Nana Sahib had come, and such a docu- ment went forth as never before had seen the light of day. I give only an extract: them up before their mothers in the Sum- mer House. All the doors closed and the Sepays standing guard, the crowded wo- men and children waited their doom for eighteen days and nights amid sickness, and flies, and stench, and starvation, Then Nana Sahib heard that Havelock was coming, end his name was a terror to the Sepoys, 'Vest the women and ahil- drew imprisoned in the Summer Honse, or Assembly Rooms, should be liberated, he ordered that their threats should be cut. The officers were commanded to do the work and attempted it, but failed be- cause the law of caste would not allow the Eludoo to hold the victims while they were beim slain. Then 100 men were ordered to fire through the windows, but they fired over the heads of the im- prisoned ones and only afew wore killed. Then Nana Sahib' was in a rage and or- dered professional butchers from among the lowest of the gypsies to go at work. Five of them with hatchets and swerde and knives began the work, but three of them collapsed and fainted under the glia,stlines.Q, and it was left to two butch- ars to complete the slaughter. The struggle, the sharp cat, the blindin blow, the cleaving through scalp and skull, the begging for life, the death agony of hour after hour, the tangled limbs of the cones, 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, throe women and three boys were still alive. All these were soon des- patched, and not a Christian or a Euro- pean were left in Cawnpore. The mur- derers wore Paid fifty cexits for each lady slain. The Mohammedan assassins drag- ged by the hair the dead bodies out of the Summer Houseand threw` them into Therefore Nana Sahib must try some other plan. Standing in a £eld not far from the eutreuchne:.t of the English was a native Christian woman, Jacobee by naive, holding high up in her hand a letter. It was evidently a communica- tion from the et. emy, and Gen, Wheeler ordered the woman brought in. She handed him a proposed treaty, If Get°• rat Wheeler and his men would give up their weapons, Nana Sahib would con- duct onduct them into safety ; they could march out unmolested, the nen, won: en and children ; they could go down to -morrow to the Ganges, where they would find boats to take them in peace to Allaha- bad. There was some opposition to signing this treaty, but General W'heeler's wife told him he could trust the natives, and so he signed the treaty. There was great joy in the intrenehm.cnt tliatnig'ht. 1ATithout molestation they went out and got plenty of water to drink, and water for a good wash. The hunger and thirst and exposure from the consuming sun, with the thermometer from 120 to 140, would cease. Mothers rejoiced at the prospect of saving their children. The young ladies of the intrenchment would escape the wild beasts in human form. On the morrow, true t ) the promise, carts were ready to transport those who were too much exhausted to walk. a well, by which I stood with such feel- ings as you cannot imagine. But after the mutilated bodies had been thrown into the well, the record of the scene re- mained in hierogl;phies of crimson on the floor and wall of the slaughter -house. An eye -witness says that, as he walked in, the blood was shoe deep, and on. this blood were tufts of hair, pieces of muslin, broken combs, fragments of pinafores, children's straw hats, a card case contain- ing a card with the inscription, "Ned's hair. with love ;" a few leaves of an Epis- copal prayerbook; also a book entitled, "Preparation for Death," a Bible, on the fly -leaf of which was written, "For darl- ing mamma, from her affectionate daugh- ter, Isabella Blair"—both the one who presented it and the one to whom it was presented departed forever. I said : "Mr. Lee, I have heard that indelicate things were found written on the wall." He answered : " No ; but these poor creatures wrote in charcoal and scratched on the'wall the stories of the brutalities they had suffered." the tankards, and rubies in his Drown, declared that whish Nana Sahib did not And out in time; "wisdom is better than rubies." When the forests of bale are' are cleared by the axes of another civili- zation, the lost ruby of this Cawnpr. re monster may be picked up and be brought bank again to blaze among the world's jewels, But who shall reclaim for decent sepulchre the remains of Nana Sahib? Ask the vult'ares l Ask the reptiles Ask the jackals t Ask the midnight Himalayas ! Much oritio!sm' has been made of Sir Henry Havelock, and Sir Colin Campbell because of the exterminating work they did with these Sepays, lash e 1, it was awful. My escort, Mr, Lee, has toff me that he saw the Sepoys fastened to the mouths of cannons, and then the guns would fire, and for a few seconds the; c would be nothing but smoke, and as the smoke began to lift, fragments of flesh would be found flying through the air. You may do your criticisut. I here ex- press no opinion, There can be no doubt, however, that that mote of finally treat- ing the Sepoys broke the I We of the ratiny. The Hindoos found that the E: "topeans Could play at the saxr:c gar. e which the Asiatics had stat to I. The plot was organized for the murder of all the E:iropeans and Americans in India. Un- der its knives and bludgeons An erioan Presbyterianism lost its glorious mission- aries, Rev. Sfr, and Mrs, Campbell, Rev, Mr, and Mrs. MacMullin, Rev. Mr. and Mrs. Johnson, Rev. Mr. and Mra, Free- man. The work of slaughter had been begun in all directions on an appalling scale, and the commander of the English! army made up their minds that this was the best way to stop ib. A mild and gentle war with the Sepoys was an im- possibility, The natives of India ever and anon have demonstrated their cru- elty. I`stood on the eery spot in, Cal- cutta, where the natihea of India in 17.6 enacted that scone which no other people on earth could have enacted. The Black Hole prison has been torn down, but a stone pavement 20 x 23 feet indicates the ground covered by the prison. The building had two small w ndows and was intended for two or three prisoners. Those natives of India crowded into that sone room of 20x2) feet, '146 Europeans. The midsummer heat, the suffocation, the trampling of one upon another, the groaning and shriek- ieg and begging and praying of all, are matters of history. The Sepoysthat night held lights to the windows and mocked the sufferers. Then all the sounds ceased, That night of June 2 i, 1756, passed, aid 1.28 corpses were taken out. Only 28 people of the 140 were alive, and they had to be pulled out from under the corpses. Mrs. Carey, vtho sur- vived, was taken by the Indian Nabob into his harem and kept a prisoner for six years. Lucknow, in 1857, was only 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 offence, would at the call of the mutineers and without any compunction stab to death the fathers dna mothers of the household and dash out the brains of the children. These natives are at p ace now, but give them a chance and they will re-enact the scenes of 1756 aad 1857. They look upon the English as conquerors and themselves as conquered.. The mutiny of 1857 occurred because the British Gov- ernment was too lenient and put in places of trust, and in command of forts, too many of the natives. I call upon Eng- land to stop the present attempt to pal- liate the natives by allowing them to hold positions of trust. I am no alarmist, but the only way that these Asiatics can be kept from another mutiny is to put them out of power, and I say beware ! or the Lucknow and Oawnpore and Delhi martyrdoms over which the hemispheres have wept will be eclipsed by the Luck - now, and Cownpore, and Delhi martyr doms yet tobe enacted. I speak of what I have seen and heard. I give the opin• inon of every intelligent Englishman, and Scotchman, and Irishman, and Am- erican whom I met in India. Prevention is batter than. cure. I do not say it is better that England rule India. I say nothing against the right of India to rule herself. But I d , say that the moment the native population of India think there is a possibility of driving back Europeans from India they will make the attempt, and that they have enough cruelties, for the time suppressed, which if let loose would submerged with car nage everything from Calcutta to Bom- bay, and from the Himlayas to Caroman- del. Now, my friends, go home, after what I have raid, to seethe beauties of the Mo- hammedanism and Hindoism, which many think it will be well to have intro- duced into America; and to dwell upon what natural evolution will do where it has had its unhindered way for thous- ands 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 contribute 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 stupendous work, that nothing but an Omnipotent God, through the Gospel of Jesus Christ, can over achieve it. Amen ! When the English and Scotch troops came upon the scene their wrath was so great that Neill had the butchers arrest- ed, and before being shot compelledthem to wipe up part of the floor of the place of massacre, this being the worst of their punishment, for there is nothing that a Hindoo so hates as to touch blood. When Havelock came upon the scene he had this order annulled. The well was now not only full of human bodies, but corpses piled on the outside. The soldiers were for many hours engaged in covering the dead. It was about 5 o'clock in the evening when I came upon this place in Cawn- pore. The building in which the mas- sacre took place has been torn down and a garden of exquisite and fragrant flow- ers surrounds the seene4.:; 1Xr. Lee pointed out to us some seventy -tin :ponds contain- ing bodies or portions of bodies of those not thrown into the well. A soldier stands on guard to keep the foliage` and flowers from being ruthlessly pulled. I asked a soldier if I might take a rose as a memento, and he handed me a cluster of roses, rel and white, both colors sug- gestive to me—the red typical of the car- nage there enacted, and the white for the purity of those who from that spot as- cended. But, of course, the most absorbing in- terest concentrated at the well, into which hundreds of women and children were flung or lowered. A circular wall of white marble encloses this well. The wall is about twenty feet high. Inside this wall there is a marble pavement, I paced it, and found it fifty-seven paces around. In the centre of this en- closure, and immediately 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 slum- berers beneath, but the two wings sug- gest the rising of the Last Day. Mighty consolation. in marble ! They went down under the hatchets of the Sepoys; they shall come up under the trumpet that shall wake the dead. I felt weak and all atremble as I stood reading these words on the stone that covers the well: 'Sacred to the perpetual memory of a great com- pany 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." "Get in the carriage," said Mr. Lee, "and we will ride to the banks of the Ganges, for which the liberated combat- ants and non-combatants started for this place." On our way Mr. Lee pointed out a monument over the burial place whioh was opened for General Wheeler's in- trenchment, the well into which every night the dead had been dropped.. Around it is a curious memorial. There are five crosses, one at each corner of the garden, and one at the centrefromwhich inscription I to -day read nay text. Riding on we came to the Memorial' Church built to the memory of those fallen at Cawnpore. The walls are covered with tablets and epitaphs. I copied two or three of the inscriptions: "These are they who come out of great tribulation ;" also, "The dead shall be raised incor- ruptible ;" also, "In the world ye shall have tribulation, but be of good cheer ; I have overcome the world ;" also, "The Lord gave ; the Lord hath taken away ;" also, "Come unto me all ye that labor and aro heavy laden." "As by the kindness of God, and the good fortune of the Emperor, all the Christians who went at Delhi, Poonah, Sattara and other places, and even those 5,000 European soldiers who went in dis- M Ise into,the former city and were dis- covered, are destroyed and sent to hell by the pious and sagacious troops, who are firm to their religion., and es they have all been conquered by the present Government, and as no trace of them is left in these places, it is the duty of all ,the subjects and servants of the Govern- ment to rejoice at the delightful intelli- gence, and carry on their respective work with comfort and ease. As by the bounty of the glorious Almighty and the enemy -destroying fortune of the Emperor the yellow -faced and narrow-minded peo- ple have been sentte hell and Cawnpore has been conquered,it is necessary that all the subjects and: landowners and Gov- ernment servants should he as obedient to the present Government as they have been to the former one; that it is the incumbent duty of all the peasants and landed proprietors of every district to rejoice at the thought that the Christians have been sent to hell, and both the Hindoo and Mohammedan religions have been nirm ed an d,at the y should, as , meal, be obedient to the authorities of the Government, and never suffer any complaint aoainet themselves to reach to the ears of the higher authority. "Mr. Los, what is this?" I said to our ' escort as the carriage halted by au em- bankment. Isere, he said, "is the en- trenchxnent where the Christians of Cw ' a nP ore took refuge. Itis the remainsof a wall which at the time of the mutin y was only four feet high, behind which, with no shdlter from the sun, the heat at 100 degrees, 440 men and 560 women and shitdren dwelt nearly a month. A. hand. "Get into the carriage," said Mr. Lee, and we rode on to the Ganges, and got out at a Hindoo temple standing on the banks. "Now." said Mr. Lee, ''here is the place to which General Wheeler and his people came under the escort of Nana Sahib." Iwent down the stepstothe mar- gin°,pf the river. Down these steps went General Wheeler and the men, women and children under his care. They stood on one side of the steps, and Nana Sahib and his staff stood on the other side. As the women were getting into the boats, Nana Sahib objected that only the aged and infirm women andehildren should go on board the boats, The young and at- tractive women were kept out. Twenty- eight boats were filled with men, women and children, and floated out into the river. Etch boat contained ten armed natives. Then three boats fastened to- gether were brought up, and General Wheeler and his staff got in. Although orders were given to start, the three boats were somehow detained. At this junc- ture a boy twelve years of age hoisted on the top of the Hindoo temple on the banks two flags, a Hindoo and a Moham- medan flag; at which signal the boatmen and armed natives jumped from the boats and swam for the shore ; and from innumerable guns the natives on the bank fired on the boats and masked bat - terries above and below roared with de- struction, and the boats sank with their precious cargo, and all went down save three strong swimmers, who got to the opposite shore. These who struggled out nearby were dashed to death. Nana Sahib and his staff with their swords slashed to pima" General Wheeler and his staff, who had not got well away from the shorn. I said that the young and attractive women were not allowed to get into the boat. These were marched away under the guard of the Sepoys. "Which way?" I inquired. "I will show yoti," said Mr. Lee. Again we took seats in the carriage and started for the clii'nax of desperation and diabolism.' Now we are on the way to a summer- house, called the Assembly Rooms,which had been built for reeroation antc plea- sure. It had two rooms each 28x10, and some windowless closets, and here were imprisoned 206 helpless people, It wits to become the prison of these women and children. Some of these Sepoys got per- mission of Nina Sahib to take one or more of these ladies to their own place, on the promise they should be brought back to the Summer Garden next morn- ing. A daughter of General Wheeler was so labels and did not return. She after wards married the Mohammedan who bad taken her to his tent. Some Sepoys d themselves by thrustin 'children 1101111111111 The sun was sinking beneath the hori- zon as I came down the seven or eight steps of that palace of a sepulchre, and I bethought myself, "No Emperor, unless 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 cenotaph than crowns the resting-placec of the martyrs at Cawnpore. But where rest the bones of the Herod of the nineteenth 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 Fest up a little pomp in the jungles. Among a few thousand Hindoos and Moham- mealans he took for himself the only two tents the neighbors had, while tlioy lived in the rain and mud. Nana Sahib, with one servant carrying an umbrella, would go every day to bathe, and people would go and stars. For some reason after awhile he forsook even that small atton- lion, and disappeared among the ravines e took mains. el es mon of too Himalayan with him in his flight that ' which he al- ways took with him—a ruby of vast value.
