Philip E.Holp, of Watertown'has created widespread comment by a lecture entitled "Talmage and His Tricks." After paying a high tribute to Talmage's genius, he makes the following charges: "On March 10th, 1878, Talmage pro- duced a sermon on "Shall We. Know Each Other There ?» in which at the lowest count are thirteen different thoughts from • Harbough's Heavenly Recognition,' a book published in I854.• He forgot to give credit. "1 feel pure tha,t in ten years Talmage has not produced a single new sermon. Permit me to reveal one of bis tricks : "In 1878 he preached on ' The Midnight Horskian.' In 1889 'he preached the same SermG; headed 'The Moonlight Ride.' In 1886 he preached on ' Christ and Song. In. 1888 he called the same sermon ' Songs in the Night.' In 1888 he gave the ' Upper and Nether Springs.' In 1889 the same under 'Now Springs of Joy." Beware of the Sisters. For real purity, few men equalled Spur- geon. There was never, from the earliest stage of his career to the latest, one trace of that nauseous—though perfectly innocent— familiarity with women which seems so natural to some clerics, both outside the church and within it. At one of the stu- dents' breakfasts—you may depend this is true, for a dear dead friend of mine, who knew Spurgeon well, heard it and told me—the dead pastor h u morously cautioned is younger friend a against the encouragement of this sickening characteristic of not a few minis- ters. "And finally, my friends," said Spurgeon, after a brotherly, lecture on the responsibilities of ministerial life, " what- ever you do, beware of the sisters !" A. laugh broke out, but there were some present who knew it was no laughing matter, and that the caution was needed, . and that it was especially valuable when uttered by a healthily, beCaute unsqueamish, p.ure man like Spurgeon. --.Exchanye. A Scotch Bequest. Here is a pleasant story suggestive of the difference between the old slavery days and the present. The Chicago Inter -Ocean Says: " Nearly sixty years ageJohn Mc- Lean, of Glasgow, left in the Bank of Scot, land $1,500 for the education of the slaves of his brother in Georgia, but the laws of Georgia at that time 'did not permit of the education of slaves. The money has been in the Bank of Scotland ever since, and its presence there was discovered by a son of William Lloyd Garrison, in looking thrciugh some of his father's old letters., Corres- pondence With the officials of the Bank of Scotland affirmed the 'report of the deposit, and that in sixty years it has accumulated interest amounting to a very neat sum. The money will now be devoted to the education of colored people in Georgia as was origin- ally intended by the donor." International Bricklayers.

One of the Great Streams of the Pacific Coast. A PRIMITIVE WHISKEY STILL. Salmon the FavOrite Diet of the Hair Seal. . NUMEROUS MOUNTAIN GOATS. (Special to tho Turns.) TAHICOU RivER, Alaska, May 29th, 1891, —When the morning of May 26th Lroke somewhat clearer, and I had a good view of the mouth of the Tahkou River and up its valley, I was wonderfully surprised at the extent of the stream that I had inferred was one of comparatively small proportions. It was here fully a mile in width and seemed to hold this as far as the eye could reach up the stream. .Before a week had passed I was forced to acknowledge that the Tahkou River was one of the great streams of Alaska and British Columbia. There was a half dozen glaciers within a radius of a few miles of us, while all the high hill -tops around were covered with snow and ice, from which more or less perfect glaciers flow down every gorge and gully. Truly, it was adarctic sight, and one calcu- lated to frighten a novice, who probably would assume that the interior was yet worse and correspondingly harder to travel. This deception is more or less pronounced along the whole Pacific shore -line of Alaska, where the mountainous coast once broken through, the interior gives better travelling in many ways. We got away about 7, a good wind behind us, but the weather threatening. As we left behind the inlet, we were now • traversing a region that had never been travelled by pen, pencil or photogaapher to give . the results to the world,, so' we felt disap- pointed in the dismal weather- spoiling our photographic chances. Some four or five miles up,the river a deep break ini , the mountains to the north gave us a pretty vista . of the Tahku glacier, lying like ,a white wedge between the black sides of the precipitous gorge. The Indians call this pass the Koo-dah-sake,, or" The Fair Wind Gap," as through it such a breeze could always be depended upon for a morning's sail up the stream—the very wind we were now using. ,About 9 we passed a single Tahku house on the south bank, that looked like a. pig -pen struck by an avalanche. Dogs kept coming out from various aper- tures in its sides' until no less than eight stood on the highbank and favored us with the usual canine chorus given strangers. After a while an Indian, -that looked as if he had been squeezed between two colliding avalanches, crawled out, and, standing in the centre :of the scenic Circle of dogs, put his hands to his mouth and wailed, " Hoochinoo I" • This hochinoo is the native Indian liquor surreptitiously distilled from sugar and molasses, using a coal oil can for a retort, and a long kelp stock for a worm. It tastes of all these ingredients, plus a fair share of the flavors usually given the freedom of an Indian cabin. A prospector assured ine that it was not unlike proof prussic acid flaAred with "Rough on Rats." Whether the Indian had any to sell or wanted to buy—the more likely of -the two—we nevet knew, for we were just then enjoying a good sailieg wind which we did not propose 'to lose for all the hoochinoo ex- isting,dnd wo never 'afterwards heard his voice again above the din of the dogs. I have lived about a third of a century among Indians and have seen wildernesses and deserts of dogs, but have never seen one of that breed of any use before ; and this was entirely unintentional. Silvery cascades wore numerous on all tides and fairly striping some of the .mountain sides. Here we alto heard our first avalanches, showing that all the watery elements were breaking up. There are several glaciers along the course of the Tahku, but only three or four reiach the valley and none of those reach the river itself so as to impede its valley to transportation on that side. Even a railroad Could be constructed the whole length of the river ; but as to this later. We were abreast of the first glacier on the north side by 9,30. It is really a dOuble glacier, their feet joining in the valley, but in nearly all other aspects they are dissimilar. Hair seal were seen fishing for •salmon, their favorite diet, amoug which they make great havoc. Ten o'clock saw us sail by the abandoned Indian village. of Klame-quah, es town that was deserted before it was built. The rapidly thriving American town' of Juneau, and the at- tendant work which all this activity promised , them, induced them to move alongside and relinquish Kleine-. geol. The,, the south "lIi,ncrme -oury-TailioritTnt one from that direction: We had breasted it by noon, and on one of the nuinerouelow islands, covered with cottonwood, we stopped for our lunch. That day we passed several deserted Indian villages of more or less pernaanence. AU were fishing "ranches," the ocenpinate. being farther up the valley hunting. Later they return, repair the ranches and go to fishing. At each house one will see well worn paths closely hugging the river bank, and made by the village fisherman in pro- specting for salmon. About 2 we came to the first noticeable contraction in the river, where it swiftly flowed through low stoney banks. We got both sails fairly set, to a strong wind, and by dint of severe pad- dling and Wagnerian war -whoops went through like a rocket. Just beyond it widened and the doctor pronounced it fully equal to the Tennessee at Chatta- nooga. Late in the evening we got a damp,• unpleasant camp, but we had made twenty- five miles, thanks to the stiff breeze. Next forenoon (27th) we saw mountain goats on the high southern cliffs, but the Indians seemed unwilling to hunt them.These animals' are numerous throughout Alaskan mountains and 1 have never yet tra- versed a range (some seven altogether) without seeing them in greater or leas abundance. The river was now getting very swift, and the big canoe quivered like • a' high pressure steamer when poling it againet the current. This shaking of the polls against the boat's .aide is very trying to the nerves of the polemen, so they claim, and more exhausting than severe labor of a purely muscular character. By 5 o'clock mountain goats were seen all around us, so that when the work got so hard, poling and paddling, that even climbing the crags after them was comparatively easy, the Indians desired to exchange, so we pulled into a small bayou on the north side to hunt these Alpine antelopes. The nearest group was a nanny goat and her two kids, and they certainly ought to have seen us, although ive did keep reasonably quiet for savages. I believe the greatest excitement in hunting them lies more in the dangerous country they roam than in any extra wise precau- tions necessary in stalking them. They were from 1,000 to 1,200 feet above us, and two Indians started for them, their arms being a rifled musket and my Winchester 40-82 rifle, awl felt too tired watching the Indians' pole and paddle all day to attempt it myself. Nothing was seen of them for a half-hour, when a shot was heard, followed almost instantly by an- other. The mother fell at once, and so steep. was the mountain side that her death struggles carried her 400 to 500 feet "head over heels" downwards to a crag where the body lodged. The kids scampered off like rabbits, followed by a few shots. Their meat Was probably worth eating, but that of their darn was atronger than a badger. The hunters made their way to the goat, gave it a fling, and fol- lowed this up until it arrived by instl- ments. It had one born gone, and I do not think there was an unbroken bone in .its body. This, they said, was the orthodox way of bringing such a carcass into camp, and they thought it made the meat tenderer. If thislgoat was any tougher when it started than when it arrived, then I am willing to believe the stories of their jump- ing hundredsof feet, lighting on their heads, etc, that I formerly doubted. I never saw men on a trip care so little for fresh meat. That day but, six miles were made and the next day only _seven. We now appre- ciated how much we had lost in our fine up- stream wind. At our third camp fresh bear tracks,were in abundance, but it was the only part of the animal we saw. One of the surprising things to me was the kittenish playfulness of the Indians after campingund after a very hard day's work. Many of them wrestled and played "tag violently, while one amused himself cutting down a large poplar tree, just to see some of his fellows scampering to get out of the way. I have found this merry -making universal among the T'linkits. The 29th the breeze came up about 10 and we needed every puff of it, for the river was now very swift. On soine of. the shallow places we could hear the rolling pebbles beat against the canoe bottom almost like hail on a tin roof. In some places it was seemingly a fight for life to avoid being swept down some side channel, swift,shallow and ' bristling with drift -timber. Once we were caught directly against a huge • drif t•log in mid -steam, over which the swift. water fairly boiled. Why we were not swept under it or broken in two even the In- dians could not explain. We could not budge an inch, but were finally liberated in a way the very least expected ; the log itself broke, and this, too, where it was a foot or two in diameter. It is not often that a rotten log avertsa disaster; it is more likely' to determine one. CUR PA 1Z TUTS 8TARTZNa. There was not enough room along the sides for all to pole effectively, as the doctor's time was drawn to his topo- graphic work considerably, While' if I stood up I threw. the hydrostatic) equilibrium of the whole 'expedition into an epileptic fit. Wetwo were excused, but Russell an .ex• cellent river man held his own: fully with the others. In the use of the paddle, how- ever, we"ca,me to the front and broke our 'share. Later in the afternoon we came to our first canyon. Here the whole river passes through a rocky •gorge, with not very high banks, and some 125 yards in width. As the current did not increase greatly, if at all, I inferred it was of unusual depth, , Any poling was out of the guts- ' tion, and it required strategic track- . ing to get the great canoe • through. fels_hundred...yards beyond the river -Jerks intO 'he two main branches, the more „fin - 4.. a 4 portant being the South fork. It was up the Norili fork, however, we turned about a mile, and, as usual, camped on a gravel bar after eight miles of travel that in labor represented nearer eighty. At the confluence of the two main forks was a de- serted. Indian house, aurrounded by a pie-. turesque grouping of graves, themselves diminutive houses. • The whole river, how- ever, bridled with picturesque graveyards and deserted or half -destroyed buildings, until one is forced to acknowledge that it is a solemn and melancholy old stream.
