TALMAGE CHAMPIOS THE CZAR AND HIS COUNTRY. •••••••••=i1Miumo International Delassiation-i- The Calum- nies That Have Beek Reiterated Against Russia Answered by the Brook- lyn Divine—Russia VieWeed in a Now Light. • BROOKLYN, Nov. 20.—ReY. Dr. Tal- mage th-day fulfilled his pribmise that he would again apeak of hisvat'. to Russia, , and correct 'many wrong impressiona con- cerning that Empire and its ruler. After an exposition of Scripture and congrega- tional singing, he took for t his text -Peter, 2; 10 e "Presumptuou4are they, self- willed, they are not afraid to t;speak evil of dignities.' Amid a most reprehensiblfA crew, Peter here paints by one stroke the portrait of those who delight to slash *,t people in authority. Now, we all hant a right to criticise evil behaviour, whether in high planes or low, but th.e fact that one is high up is no proof that he ought te be brought dowe. It is a bad streak of }Oman nature now; aa it Was in the time Of the text a bad streak of humarenature, that success of any kind excites the jealous antipathy of those who cannot climb the Lsame steep.. There never Was a David on the throne that there was not some Absalom who wanted to get it. There neveelWas a Chriett- _but the world had saw and -}larnmer ready to fashion a cross on which 4, assassinate Him. Out of this evil spirit grow not only individual but national .and tnternational - defamation. There is no country on earth ao misunder- stood as Russia, and no monareh more mis- represented than its Emperor:: t Will it not be the cause of justice if I try to set right the minds of those who compose this august aasemblage and the minds of these to whom, on both sides of the ocean, these words shall come? If the slander of Ono person is wicked, then the slander of Mae .hundred and twenty million people is Otte hundfed and twenty million times more.Wicked. In the name of righteousness and 411 behalf of civilization, and for the encouragement of a1,1 these good people who hate been dis- heartened by the sea,ndalization of Russia, 1 now speak. What are the motives for misrepresenta- tion? Commercial interests and interna- tional jealousy. Russia is as, large as all the rest of Europe put together, Remember that a nation is only a man or woman on a big scale. Why does not urope -like Reside, ? Because she has enoagh swage to swallow all Europe and feel he had only half a meal. Russia is as long as North and South America put together. "But," says some one, "do you mean to charge the authors and the lecturers who have written -Dr spoken against Russia with, falsehood?" By no means. You can find ii1 any city_ or zation evils innumerable if you wish to dis- course about them. I said at St. Petersburg to the most em- inent lady_ of Russia outside of the Imper- ial family : "Are those stories of cruelty and outrage that I have heard and read about, true ?" She replied, .,' 'No doubt, some of them are true, but do you not in AL...erica ever have officers 6f the law cruel and outrageous in- their treatinent of of- fenders? Do you not have instances where the police have chi -bleed innocent persons? Have you not instances where people in brief authority aet arrogantly 2" eeplied "Yes, we do.".3 Then she said : "Why 'does the world hold our government responsible for exceptional outrages? As soon as the official is found to be cruel, he immediately loses his place. Then 1 bethought myself Deathe people in America hold the governmentat Wash- ington responsible for the Homestead riots at Pittsburg, or for railroad iz4urrections, or for the torch of the villain that con- sumes a blOck of houses, or tar the ruf- fians Who arrest a rail train; Making the passengers hold up their walla until the pockets are picked? Why, then, hold the lerriperor of Russia, who is as impressive and genial a man as I have evet' looked at dr talked with, responsible for the; wrongs enacted in a nation with a population twice as large in number as the millions of Ameri- ca? Suppose one monarch in EitroPe ruled over England, Scotland, Ireland, Trance, hlermany, Spain, Italy, 'Austria, Norway and Sweden,. Would it be fair tn hold the monarch responsible for all that occurred in that mighty dominion? Now l you must remembeelehat Alexander the Third reigns over wider dominion than all thrise empires put together. As a nation is oi4 a man or a woman on a big scale,' let me gsk, would you individually prefer to be Judged by your faults or your virtues? 411 people, except ourselves, have faults. It is Most important that this country have right ideas concerning Riissia, for antong all the nations" this side of Heaven, Russia is America's best friend. 1 declare before God and the nation that 3 believe Russia saved the United States of America. Last July I stood before a great throng -of Russians in the entbarraesing position of speaking to an audience three- foarths of which could not understand my language any mote ellen I could Understand theirs. But - there were two nines that they thoronehly- understand. as leen as you ontleaatand theta, and the utterance of those two names, brought forth all acclama- tion that made the City Hall of St. Peters- herg quake from foundation round to tower, and titose two names As -ere 'Gcore Wash- ing, on," and ."Abraliarn Lincoliet 2.1ow, is -j.t, not ;Inperinrit. that we 1h0tt2 ttel right towetd inai mighty. that aloti-givtin friend 1:101 I, 111-afi Inle hundred years ?

But, notwithstanding all this. %mousey) vair.S0 memo on maraenonsiy and I do not believe that out of 500,000 Russians you would find more than one pr- om who dislikes the Emperor,. and so thit calumny of dread and assassmation drops so fiat it can fall no flatter. Calumny the Second—If you go to Rus- sia you are under the severest espionage, • stopped here and questioned there, and in danger of arrest. But my opinion is that if man is disturbed in Russia it is because he ought to be disturbed. Russia is the only country in Europe in which myibag- gage was not examined. I carried n my hand, tied together with a cord so that their titles could be seen, a pile of eight or ten hooks, ill of them froinlid to lid curs- ing Russia, but I had no trouble in taking with me the books. There is ten times more difficulty in getting • your baggage through the American custom house than through the Russian. I speak not of my- self, for friends intercede for me on Ameri- can wharves, and I tun not detained. I was several &eye in Russia before I was asked if I had Any passport at all. Calumnj; the Third—Russia and its ruler arc 11q opposed to any other religion except the Greek religion, that they will not allow any other religion; that nothing but per- secution and imprisonment and outrage in- tolerable await the disciples of any other religion. But what are the facto? I had a long ride in St. Petersburg and its sub- urbs with the Prefect a brilliant, efficient and lovely man, who is the highest official in the city of Stli) Petersburg, and whose - chief business is t atfend the Emperor, I Said tohim : "Iisu .ppose your religion is that of the Gri3ek Church 1" "No," said he. "I am & Lutheran." "What is your freligion ?" I said to one of the highest and most influential officials of St. Petersburg. He said: "I am of the Church of England." Myself= American, of still another denom- ination of Christians, and never having been inside a Greek Church in my life until I went- to Russia, could not have received more consideration bad:I been baptized in the Greek Church and all my life worship- ptel at her altars. I had it demonstrated to me very plainly that a man's religion in Russia has nothing to do with his prefer- ment for either office or social position. The only questions taken into such consid- eration are honesty, fidelty, morality and adaptation. Calumny the Fourth—Russia is so ver grasping of territory and- she seems to want the world. But what are the facts? During the last; century and a quarter, the United States have taken possession of everything between the Thirteen Colonies and the Pacific ocean, and England, during the same length of time, has taken posses- sion of nearly three million square miles, and by the extent of her domain has added 250 million population, while Russia haft added during that time only one-half the number of square miles and about eighteen million of population—England's advance of domain by 250 million against Russia's advance of domain by 18 million. - What a paltry Russian advance of domain by -18 million as compared with the English ad- vance of domain by 250 million ! The United States and England had better keep still about extravagant and extortionate enlargement of domain. Calumny the Fifth—Siberia is a den of horrors, and to -day people are driven like dumb cattle'no trial is afforded to the sus- pectedone; they are put into .quicksilver mines where they are whipped and starved and some day find themselves going around without any -head. Some of them do not • get so far as Siberia. Women, after being tied to stakes in the streets, are disrobed, and whipped to death in the presence of howling mobs. Offenders hear their. own flesh sin under the hot irons. But what at.° the facto? There are no kinder peopletopearth than the Russians, and to most of them cruelty, is an impossi- bility. I hold in my leand a card. You see on it Mutt red. circle. That is the gov- ernment's seal on a card giving me per- mission to visit all the prison‘at St. Peters-. burg, as I had expressed a wish in that direction. As the messenger handed this card to me; he told me • that a carriage was at the deor for my disposal in visit- ing the prisoini. It so happened, however. that I was erowded with engagements and I could faot make the visitation. But do you suppoae such cheerful permission and a carriage to boot would have been offered me if the prisons of Russia are such hells on .earth as they have been described to be? I asked an eminent and distinguished American: "Have you visited the prisons of St. Petersburg, and how do they differ from American prisons ;teplied : "I have visited them and they are as well ventilated and as well condieioried in every respect as the majority of piisons in America.." Are women whipped, in the streets? No; that statement corrie0 from the manufactory of fabrication, d Manufactory that runs day and night, so that the supply may Meet the demand. How about liberia? My answer is Siberia is the prison of Russia, a prison more than taitiee the size of the United States. r I. John Elowartl, after witnessing the plan of deportation:oft criminals from Russia to Siberia, comment:ea it 111 England. If a man commits natirder in Ruesiatlie hi not electrocuted, 481 we electrocute him, or choked to death hy a halter, as we choke liint to death. Ramie is the only country on earth from Which the death penalty has boon driven, extasipt in cage of high treason. .Itualereas and desperate villains are sent to the hardest iiai.ts of Siberia, but no man is sent to Siberia or doomed to any kind of punishment in ktiasia, until •he lute a fair trial. So far ea eheir being hustled off in the nielia tool hot knowing why they are exiled or punished is concerned, all the rrintinals in Ruszia have an open trial be- fore a, jiliT, J1LL 118 we have in .America, catapt i u revollitiouary or riotous times, and you know' iti AmPrica at such ti nes the writ, of habeaq unrolls is suspended.

Now, which do you think is the best style of a prison—Siberia or many of our American prisons? When a man commits a big crime in our country, the judge looks into the frightened face of the culprit, and Says: "'You have been found guilty; 1 sentence you to the peni- tentiary for ten years." He goes to prisoa. He is shut in between four walls. No sun- light. No fresh air. No bathroom. Be- fore he has served his ten years, he dies of consumption, or is se enervated that for the rest of his life he sits with folded -hands a wheezing invalid. In preference to the shut-in life of the average American prison- er, give me Siberia-. The merciful character of the pra'wnt Emperor was well illustrated in the follow- ing occurrence: The man who supervised the IMIAUPASillatiOB of the father of the ieresent •V.70 ZA-3.- :Irv,* ea.... ........ oay, W11011 the dynamite shattered to pieces the legs of Alexander the Second—I say the man who supervised all this fled from St. Petersburg and quit Russia,. But after a while the man repented of his crime, and wrote to the 'Emperor asking for forgive- ness for the murder of his father and pro- mising to be a good citizen, and asking if he might come back to Russia. The Emperor pardoned the'murderer of his father and the forgiven assassin ia now living in Russia, =less recently deceased. When I talked to the i Empress concerning the sym- pathy felt in America for the sufferings of the drought -struck regionli of Russia, she evinced an abSorbing interest and a compas- sion and an emotion of manner and speech such as we men can hardly realize, because it seems that God has reserved for woman as her great dornment, thg coronet, the tear -jewelled coronet of tenderness, and commiseratioi. If you say that it was a man, a Divine Man that came to save the world, 1 say yes but it was a woman that gave the man l Witness all the Madonnas, Italian German, English and Russian, that bloom in the picture galleries of Christen- dom, Son of sMary have mercy on us But how about the knout, the cruel Rus- sian knout, that comes down on the bare back of agonized criminals? Why, Russia abolished the knout, before it was abolished from our American navy. But how about the political Prisoners hustled off to Siberia? According to the testimony of the most celebrated literary enemy of Russia, only 443 pOlitical prisoners. were sent to Siberia in twenty years. How many political ,prisoners did we put in prison pens drag our four years of Civil War ? Well, I will guess at least one hundred thousand. America's 100,000 political prisoners versus RUSSiell 443 political prisoners. Nearly all these 443 of 20 years were noblemen or people desperately opposed to the emancipation of the serfs, And none of the political• prisoners are sent to the famous Kara mines. But you ask; how will this Russophobia, with which so 'many have been bitten and poisoned, be cured ? By the God of Jus- tice blessing such books and pamphlets as are now coming out from Prof.'De Arnaud* of Washington; Mr. Horace Cutter of San Francisco; .Mr. Moral, of England, and by the opening of our. American gates to the writings of some twenty-four of the Rus- sian authors and authoresses, in some re- spects as brilliant as the three or four Rus- sian authors already known—the translation of those twenty-four authors, which I am authorized from Russia to offer free of charge to any responsible American pub- lishing house that will do them justice. Let these Russians tell their own story, for they are the only ones fully competent to do the work, as none but Americans can fully telLthe story of America, and as nOne but Germanscan fully toll the story of Germany, and none but Englishmen can fully tell the Story 'of England, and none. but Frenchmen can fully tell the story of France. Meanwhile, let the international defamation conae to an end. BEAUTY IN THE LIP. Some Savages Pride Themselves on Size, Others on Deformity. Among the Babines, who dwell to the north of the Columbia river, a large under Hp is regarded as a type of beauty. 4 small incision is made in the lip during infancy and a fragment of bone inserted. This is re- placed from titne to time by larger and larger fragments, each operation being at- tended with severe pain, and, according to the Brooklyn Eagle, at length :pieceeeof wood measuring not less than 3 inches -in length and 1/t inches in width, are inserted,, causing the lip to protrude to a frightful extent. A similar custom exists' among the Paraguay Indians, arid the labnets worn by the Botoeudos are inserted in a slit made in the lower lip. A Botocudo has been noticed to take a knife and cut a piece of meat on it and tumble the meat into his mouth. Among the Hydahs (Queen Charlotte islands) it is considered a mark of the lowe-st breeding to be without this labial ornament of. the lower lip. When a young woman and an old one quarrel thee elderly dame will reproach the younger .one with her youth, inexperience and general ignorance, peinting, were further proof necessary, to the inferior size of her liP. This lip of beauty is not, however; peculiar to these aborigine's, but is common among some of the African tribes. The Berrys, for instance, who inhabit Sanbriat, a tributary of the Nile, insert in the lower, hp a piece of crystal an inch- in length: The Bougo wernen in. a similar way extend the lower lip horizontally till it projects far beyond the. upper. The mutilation of both lips. . observed among the women of Radii', in Segseg, ibetiveen Lake Teed and- the Beuwe. -IZola and the Late.Emperor. M. Zola, in the Figaro, in reply to some of the critics of La Debacle insists Wet the Ethperor rouged his cheeks at Sedan. The 14h-Operor's friends, he says, hairs talked as if to have done so would have been humili- atiag —"the role, of a buffoon." "On the toetraryethis seems tome a great mistake. I find the act superb, worthy cd the hero of a 'Shakespearean play, heightening the figure of Napoleon III. to a tragic melan- chely of infinite grandeur." That is • eharacteristically French exaggeration-. We presume M. Zola means that it was noble of the Emperor to take the trouble to coaceal from his troops his desperate physical weak- ness ; but even granted that it was a pru- dent thing not to show a cheek of 'ghastly pallor, we fail. to see that it was heroic. V. 'Zola further attacks his criticfor baiter angry with hiin for stating the whole truth about. the war. To do so was, he de- elares EL thity. France was nearly ruined beca,use she believed in the French trooper "as the conqueror of the world, singiug as he 'run;s across fallen . kingdoms." He re- solved 1.0 teach his fellow -countrymen that war was "a thin too serious, too terrible for us to lie about"- "I concealed nothing, I sought to show how n nation like • our own, after so Jimmy victories, could be so miserably beaten, and 1 wished also to show out of what depths we had raised ourselves in twenty years, and in what a blood bath fi stropc,•Y people can be regenerated, -My profound conviction is that if the falsely - patriotic lie- besritA agaia . . . we shall* again be beaten." That, at least, is aound edifice. —The Spectator. —Early the other morning some thief en- tinad the house of—Mr. Donald McKenzie, in Fullarton, during the absence of the fet- ter, and appropriated a new overcoat, suit of clothea, two shirts, a cap and some money. The thief had evidently made him- self at home, as he had built a fire and got himself some breekfast before leaving with his ill gotten gain. —Mr. Thomas Grant, of Kinkora, had the misfortune to break his leg the other day. He and his brother were loading a stick of timber in the woods, when it slipped and crowded him against a stump, breaking his leg below the knee. Fortunately the stunip was rotten, otherwise the leg might have been badly crushed, if not entirely des- troyed. • —Mr. and Mrs. F. A.
