merits of Ayeies Sarsaparilla: "Several
ago, I hurt my leg, the injury leaving
sore which led to erysipelas. My sufferings
extreme, my leg, from the knee to the

REV. DR, TALMAGE AT THE CITY OF
BLOOD.
Hindoolem and Mohn.mmedism as The3
Really Exist -The Hardening Process
• Sin -Graphic Story of the Terrible Mae
swore she Clawnpnr, India.
BROOKLYN, Dec. 9. -Dr. Talnsage todse
• deliv.ered through the press the second oi
hie round the world series of sermons,
the subject being "The City of Blood,"
and the text selected being Psalms cxli, 7.
"Our bones are scattered at the grayish
month, as when one cutteth and cleaved
wood upon the earth. But mine eyes art
Unto thee, 0 God, the Lord."
Though you may read this text from the
Bible, I road it as cut by chisel into the
pedestal of a cross beneath wbieh lie many
ef the massacred at Cawnpur, India. To
show you what Hindooisni and Moham
medanism really are, where they have full
swing,and not as they represent themselvee
In a "parliament of, religions," and to
demonstrate to what exthnt of cruelty and
abomination human nature may go when
fully let loose; and to illustrate the hard.
enineeprocess of sin, and to remind you
how Our glorious Christianity may, utten
its triumph over death and the grave,]
preach this my second sermon in the
round the world series, and I eball speak
of "The City of Blood," or Cawnpur, In-
dia.
Two hours and ten minutes after its oc-
currence Joseph Lee of the Shropshire reg-
iment of foot rode in upon the Cawnpux
massacre. He was the first inan I mob at
Cawnpur. I wanted - hear the stay
from some one who had been here in 1857,
and with his own eyes gazed upon the
slaughtered heaps of hurnauity. 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 contrast all Modoo and
Choctaw butcheries.
The Story of the Massacre.
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 Cawnpur Joseph Lee, linew the man
personally. Unfortunately there is no cor-
rect ' picture of Nana Sahib in existence.
The pictures of him published in the books
of Europe and America and fainiliar to us
all are an Omusing mistake. This is the
fact in regard to them: A lawyer of Eng-
land was called to India for the purpose of
defending the,case of a native who had
been charged with 'fraud. Tlie attorney
came and so skillfully managed the case
f his client that the -client paid him' oner-
ously for his services, and he wont back
o England, taking with him a picture of
is Indian client: After awhile the mu-
iny in India broke out, and Nana Sahib
as mentioned as the champion villain of
he whole affair, and the newspapers of
ngland wanted a picture of him and to,
ntervievv some one on Indian affairs who
ad recently been in India. Among others
he journalist called upon this lawyer late -
Ly returned. The only picture he had
brought from India was the picture of -his
limit, the roan charged with fraud. The
ttorney gave this picture to the journals
s a specimen of the way the Hindoos
ress, and forthwith that picture was used,
ither by mistake or intentionally, for
ana Sahib. The English lawyer said he
ived in dread that his client wciuld some
ay see the use made of his picture, and it
as not until the death of his Hindoo
lient that the lawyer divulged the facts.
erhaps it was never intended that the
ace`of such a demon should be preserved
ong human records. I said to our
scort, "Mr. Lee, was there any peculiar-
ty in Nana Sahib's appearance?" The re-
ly was: "Nothing very peculiar. He was
dull, lazy, cowardly, sensual man,
rought up to do nothing and wanted to
ontinue on the same scale to do noth-
g.
From wt Mr. Lee told me and from
III could learn in India, Nana Sahib or-
ered the Massacre in that city from sheer
evenge. His father abdicated the throne,
nd the English paid him annually a pen -
on of $400,000. 9When the father died,
e English government declined to pay
e same pension to the sone Nene Sahile,
ut the poor fellow was not in any suffer -
g from lack of funds. His father left
•im $80,000 in gold ornaments, $500,000
In jewels, $800,000 in bonds and -other re-
sources amounting to at least $1,500,000..
But the poor young man was not satisfied,
and the Cawnpur massacre was his re-
venge. General 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 of all his regiments and all the Euro-
peans in Cawnpur.
A Remarkable Document.
Mr. Lee explained all this to me by the
fact that General Wheeler had married a
native, and he naturally took her story
and thought there was no peril. But the
time for the proclamation from Nana Sa-
hib had come, and such a document went
forth as never before had seen the light of
day. I give only an extract:
"As by the kindness of God, and the
good fortune of the emperor, all the Chris-
tians who were at Delhi, Poonah, Sattara
and other places, and even those 5,000
European soldiers who went In disguise
into the former city and were discovered,
aro destroyed and sent to hell by the pious
and sagacious troops who are firm to their
religion, and as they have all been con-
quered 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 government to rejoice at the de-
• lightful intelligence 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 people have been sent to hell, and
Cawnpur has been conquered, it is neces-
sary that all the subjects and landowners
and government servants should be 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 Hin-
doo and Mohammedan religions have been
confirmed, and that they should, as usual,
be obedient to the authorities of the gov-
ernment and never suffer any complaint
against themselves to reach to the ears of
the higher authority."
"Mr. Lee, what is this?" I said to our
eseort as the carriage halted by an em-
• bankment. '"Ilere,"-he said, "is the in-
trenchment where the Christians of Cawn•
pur took refuge. It is tho remains of a
wall which at the time of the mutiny was
only four feet high, behind which, with no
shelter from the sun, the heat at 180 de-
grees, 440 men and 560 women and chil-
dren dwelt nearly a month. Ahandful of
flour and split pea e was the daily ration
and only two wells near by, the one in
which they buried, their dead because they
had no time to bury them in the earth and
the other well tho focus on which the artil-
lery of4Lthe enemy played so that it was a
choice between death by thirst and death
by bullet or shell. Ton 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 sicknesses swooped
upon them. Some -wont raving mad under •
exposure. Others dropped under apoplexy.

not the heathen dash down- those mud
walls and the 10-,000 annihilate -the now
less than 1,000 It WI113 because they
seemed supernaturally defended.
A. Proposed Treaty.
Nana Sahib resolved to celebrate an
an-
nlversary. The 28d 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 Cfawnpur was tobe slaughtered. Other
Anniversaries have been celebrated with
wine; this was to be celebrated with blood.
Other anniversaries have been adorned
with garlands,- this with drawn swords._
Others leave been kept with songs,this with
execrations. Others with the dance of 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 the English and
Scotch put to flight these Hindoo tigees.
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 their riders. -The
Lord looked out from the heavens, and on,
that *anniversary day gave the victory to
his _people. .
Therefore Nana Sahib must try sono
other plan. Standing in a Sold not far
from the intrenchment of the English was
a native Christian woman, Ja else° by
name, holding high main her hand a let-
ter. It was evidently a communication
from the enemy, and General Wheeler or-
dered the woman brought in. She handed
him a proposed treaty. If General Wheeler
and his neen would give up their weapons
Nana Sahib would conduct them in-ts;
safety.They could march out unmolested,
the men, women and children; they could
go down -tomorrow to the Ganges, where
they would find boats to take them in
peace to Allahabad.
There was some op -position to signing_
this treaty, but General Wheeler's wife
told him he could trust the natives, and
se he signed the treaty.' There was great
J0 y in the f:entrenchinent that night. With-
out moleStation they went out and got
plenty of water to drink and water for a
geed wads. 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 to' the promise, carts were roNly th
transport those who were too much ex-
hausted to walk.
Inscriptions.
"Get in tho carriage," said Mr. Lee,
"and we will ride to tho banks of tho
Ganges, for which the liberated combat-
ant;and noncombatants started from this
place." On our way Mr. Lee pointed out
a monumenl over the burial place which
was opened for General Wheeler's in-
trenchn: entr the well into which every
night the (load had been dropped. Around
it is a curious memorial. There are five
crosses, ono at each corner of the garden,.
and ono at the center, from which inscrip-
tion I today read my text. Riding on, we
came to the Memorial church, built to the
memory of those fallen in Cawnpnr. The
walls are covered with tablets and epi-
taphs. I copied two or three of the in-
scriptions -"These are they -who come out
of great tribulation;" also "The dead
shall be raised incorruptible;" 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 are heavy laden."
"Get into the carriage," said Mr. Lee,
and we rode on to the Ganges anctgot out
at a Hindoo temple standing on the banks.
"Now," said Mr. Lee "here is the place
t� which General Wheeler -and his people
came under the escort of Nana Sahib." I
went down the stops to the margin of the
river. Down these steps went General
Wheeler and the men, women and children
under Ms 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 and
ohildren should go on board the boats.
The young and attractive women were
kept dut. Twenty-eight boats were filled
with men women and children and float-
ed out into tho river. Each boat contained
ten armed natives. Then threeboats, fas-
tened together, were brought up, and Gen-
eral Wheeler and his staff got in. Al-
though orders were given to start, the three
boats_ were somehow detained. At this
juncture a boy 12 years of age hoisted on
the toplof the Hind000temple 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 innumer-
• able guns the natives on the bank fired
on the boats, and rnasked batteries above
and below roared with destruction, and
*the boats sank with their precious cargo,
and all went down save three strong
swimmers, who got to the opposite shore.
Those who struggled out near by were
dashed to death. 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.
The Climax of Diabolism.
I said that the young. and attractive
women were not allowed to get into the
boat. These were -1ntarched away under
the guard of the sepoys.
"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 the
assembly rooms, which had been built
for recreation and pleasure. It had two
rooms, each 29 by 10, and some window-
less closets, and here were imprisoned 206
helpless people. It was to become the
prison of those, women and. children.
Some .of these sepoys got permission of
Nana Sahib to take one or more of these
ladies to their own place on the promise
they -should be brought back to the sum -
neer garden next morning. A daughter of
General Wheeler waS so taken and did not
return. She afterward married the Mo-
hammedan who had taken her to his tent.
Some sepoys amused themselves by thrust-
ing children through with bayonets and
holding them up before their-mh
o e• rs in
the summer house. All the doors closed,
ending guard, the crowd-
ildren waited their doom
nights amid sickness and
and starvation.
hib heard that Havelock
was coming, and his name was a terror to
the sepoys. Lest the women and children
imprisoned in the summer house, or as-
sembly rooms, s ould be liberated, he ior-
dered that thei throats should be cut.
The officers we commanded to do the
work and attempted it, but failed because
the law of caste Tould not allow the Hin-
doo to hold the victiMs while they were
being slain. Then 100 men were ordered
to fire through 1

the.record of the scene remained in the hiero
glyphics of crimson on e fieor and wail
of the slaughter house. An eyewitness
says that as be walked in the bleed was
shoe deep, and on this bleed were tufts of
hair, pieces of muslin, broken coenbs, frag-
ments of pinafores, children's !straw hats,
a cardcase Containing. a curl With the In

scription, "Ned's hair, with love," a few
leaves of an' Episcopal prayer book; also a
book entitled "Preparation For Death," a

: .,/ A Ghastly Well.
I said, "Mr. Lee, I have heatel that in-
delicate things wore written on the wall."
He answered, "No, but these poor crea-
tures wrote in charcoal .and scratched on
the wall the story of _ the brutalities they
bad suffered."
When the English. and Scotch troops
came upon the scene, their wrath was so
great that General Neill had the butchers
arrested, and before being shot compelled
thern to wipe up part of the floor of this
place of massacre, this beteg the worst of
their punishment, for there is nothing .a
Hindoo so hates as to touch blood.
When Havelock came upon the scene,
' he bad this order annulled. The well was
now not only full of human bodies, but
corpses piled on -the outside. The soldiers
twhoedr ee fedi'. many hours engaged in, covering
,
It was about 5 o'clock in the evening*
when I came upon this place In Cawnpur.
The building in which the massacre took
place has been torn down, and a garden of
exertilsite and -fragrant flowers surrounds
the scone. Mr. Lee pointed out to us some
70 mounds containing bodies or portions
of bodies of those -not thrown into the
Well. A soldier stands on guard tie keep
the foliage and flowers from being ruth-
lessly pulled. I asked a soldier if I inight
take a rose as a memento, and he handed
me a cluster of roses, red and white, both
colors suggestive to me -the red typical of
the carnage there enacted and the white
for the purity of those who from that spot
ascended. But of course the most absorb-
• ing interest concentrated at the well, into
- which hundreds of women and children
were flung or lowered. A circular wall of
white marble incloses this well. The wall
is about 20 feet high: Inside this wall
there is a marble pavement. I paced it and
found it 57 paces around. In the center of
this inclosure and immediately above the
well of the dead is a sculptured angel of
resurrection, with illumined face and two
palm branaes, meaning- viotory. This
angel is looking down toward the slum-
berers. beneath, but the two wings suggest
the rising of the last day. Mighty conso-
lation in marble! They went down under
the hatchets of the sepoys; . they shall
I come up under the trumpet - that shall
wake the dead. I felt weak and all a -trem-
ble as I stood reading these words on the
stone that covers the well: "Sacred to the
perpetual memory of a great company of
Christian people, chiefly women and chil-
dren, crudly massacred near this. , snot by
the rebel, Nana Sahib, and thrown, the
dying with the dead, into the well laeneath
• 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."
. Food For Vultures.
• The sun was sinking beneath the hori-
zon as I came down the seven or eight
steps of that palace of a sepulcher, and 1
bethought myself, "No emperor, unless lt
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 places of the martyrs
fat Cawnpur." But where rest the bees of
Ithe Herod of the nineteenth century, Nana
Sahib? No one can tell. Two men sent
•out to find the whereabouts of the daugh-
ter of General Wheeler tracked Nana Sa-
Mb during a week's ride into the wilder-
ness, and they were told that for awhile
after the mutiny Nana Sahib *set up a lit-
tle pomp in the jungles. Among a few
thousand 'Hindoos and Mohammedans be
took for himself the 'only two tents the
neighbors had, while they lived in the rain
and mud. Nana Sahib, with one servant
carrying an umbrella, would golevery day
to bathe, and people would go and stare.
For some reason after awhile he forsook
even that sMall attention and disappeared
among the ravines of the 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 0 life preserver. He wore it on his
bosom. The Hindoo priest add 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 pro-
tection. Solomon, who had rubies in the
hilt of swords, and rubies in the lipof the
tankards, and rubies in his crown .declared
that which Napa Sahib did not find out in
time, "Wisdom 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 re-
mains of Nana Sahib? .Ask the vultures!
Ask the reptiles! Ask the jackals! .Ask
the raidnight Himalayas!

Henry Havelock and Sir Colin Campbell
