Dr. % Talmage Speaks of the Prodigal Son. LA despathl from \V.shington says: -Rev. Dr. Talmage preached fromthe following text :--"When he was yeta great way of! his father saw him-and . has compassion, and ran and fell on his neck and kissed him.-St. Luke xv. I have often described to you the go. E ing away of this prodigal son` from his V father's house and I have showed 1 you what a." hard time he had. down! in E the wilderness, and what: :1 very great mistake it was for _him. to leave ( so beautiful a. home for such a'mis- erable desert. But he did not al- 1 wayaatay in the wilderness; he came 5 back attero while. We don't read I 1 that his mother came _to greet him. 'l`,I suppose she was dead. She would_ , have been; the first to come out. The I father would have given the second ' kiss to the returning prodigal; the mother the first. It may have been wvas not ungreeted However, well appareled ave ,.A . tut onajourney, 3 mother the urr.-n;. for the lack of. her example and pray- ers that he became a prodigal. Some- times the father lloes not know how to manage the children of the house- hold; the chief work comes upon the mother. Indeed, no one ever gets over the calamity of losing amother in early life. LL u.i.:._y nu. back. ml Still, this young man ` be when he `came' bf tr may be in the morning, when! we start : tl .with the: dust and the jostling. But this prodigal, when he started from his swine trough, was ragged and wretched, and his` appearance after he: had gone through days. of journeying and. exposure, you can `more easily imagine than describe. As the people see the prodigal comihgxon homeward, they wonder A who he is. They say :4 "I wonder,'what prison he has broken out of. I wonder what lazaretto he has escaped from. ' I wonder with what plague he will smite the air. He looks as though he were intent upon something Very important. The people stop; they before night, what nu _ we 1 01 have lost all cleverness of appearance. ` 2' look at him :4 they wonder where he it came from; they wonder where he is gainer. I think the people all a:ound were amazed. They said: "It is only a foot-pad;it is only an old tramp of the road; don't go out to meet ent character, which would snqw u.- self even if he never went on the sea, and we know what transpired af- terward and `from what` transpired before that this prodigal son was of igan `independent and. frank nature, `and I suppose that the characteris- ` tics of_his mind and heart` were the his walk.

In the first place, I notice in this text, the father s eyesight ; in the sec- ond place, I notice the father's haste; and in the third place. I notice the I father's kiss. V A rm. I-ma-in! The ather s eye-s'1ght: IELHU 1": nun. To begin: The "When he was yet a great way off ` his father saw him. I don't know whether he could see well that which is near by, but I do.know that he could see a great way off. His father saw him. Perhaps he had been looking for the return, of that boy especially that day. I don't know but that he had been in pray God had told him that that day the re- creant boy would come home. I wonder if God's eyesight can des- cry us when we are coming back to = him I The text yictures our condition --we are a. great way off. young nian was not farther off from his father's house, sin is not. farther off from holiness, hell is. no farther from heaven-than we have been by our sins away from God; aye, so .a.... ..n that In could not hear his 1 er and that : That ' ~--we The ratncrs ey;-.-=..5.... t his especially that prayer i: "When we holiness, een from God .; far off that we could voice though vehemently he has cali- ed us year after year. what had ed orin wh been or have ente to acknowledge, if been changed by the that you are a great w so far that you cannot yourselves. back. .Aye, _ I am to tell you of . -----nu -In A munnvq 'I:`_V`l4`_R`|'(:1:I'|\_ I don't knew . habits you may have form-e` - at evil places you have Be What false not-ions you may rtainedi; but you are ready` your -heart has not grace of God, ay off, aye, `get back of You would like to _come this moment you. would -start if it were not for this sin and ; that habit and this disadvantage.

I sieve it in these solemn looks; I see it in these tearful eyes; I see it in these blanched cheeks; I see it in the. up- tu-r.ne'd face of childhood and the earn- est gaze of old age. `I know it from this silence like the grave. The Holy Ghost is here, and while I speak the .chains of captives are falling, and the dungeons `of sin are opening, ahd the prodigals coming and the fathers run- mng, and angels are shouting ahd de- M vile are trembling.

Their task was delayed nearly a year by the combination of two forces, the terrible and far-spreading animal dis- ease, ri5nderpest,"` which extermin- a't.es horses and cattle, and the war with the Matabeles. Oddly enough, the one mainly brought about the other, for the natives chief reason for rising was their misunderstand-V `mg of the white- man's object in killing cattle infested with rinderpest but not noticeably so. The ratives 4 believed the white man was trying ` to starve them, and in return they tore down his telegraph poles, cut his wire up and made bullets of it, and fired them back at him. In that struggle $200,000 worth of the African Transconti-nental Company s supplies were destroyed. - ' -L A-_. ..a uh}.

Sixteen Englishmen compose the construction staff, the chief con- structor and his assistants, who num4 be: two; a surveyor and 'an assistant surveyor; a. transport `officer with two assistants, an engineer and seven workmen.

So tax the line haslcost 1,000,000, and it is thoughfthat to complete it will cost another million. In speak- ing of the prospects of the telegraph a. high official connected with the British South African Company said to the writer a. few days ago: WILL TRANSFORM AFRICA. , I believe this is the biggest enter- , prise of tne kind ever carried out, for I think that neither in Australia nor America did a line so far precede civi- ` lization. The advantages of the Cape to Cairo telegraph, it seems to me, lie in the facility with which it w_ill enable principal and agent to com- municate with each other, and the saving `it will bring about in cable 4 rates. Commerce in South Africa will benefit greatly by the Ilne. Here- tofore comparatively few explora- tion parties have been sent out, be- causeit was impossible to keep in communication with them, and are- port from. such a party `once in six months is hardly sufficient. Ccn1- panies doing business in South and Oentral Africa will be able to carry Ed on trade. with a smaller force than. ddn1 Air trade w heretofore. n.r __` heretolore. . C "I am not prepared to say that our` customers will save largely in their \ telegraph bills as compared with what they are now paying for cable~ rates. The maintenance of the line will cost less, than a cable, and to offset it we `shall have a large amount of local . business. This has been so long the ' line, as. far as. opened, and to want- '_ "prising extent. Just what our rate will be I can not saj yet, for it will depend upon the negotiations ewith ` the European powers between Enland and Egypt, but I can state positively that it will be" much less than the 87 odd cents a word now charged by the cable companies."
