The City to he Astonished bv a Remarkable Show at Wonderland. True to its name, Wonderland presents wonders and plenty of them.

This week the city is to be astonished, as usual. Mrs. Fred Jlorphet, while being held firmly by a committee from the audience, disappears, nobody tell how or where. This is called why, we will probably know later. The "Detective Deflers'' offer a big reward to anyone who can handcuff them so that they can't get loose in a minute.

Everybody, nearly, knows the Quigley the champion dancers, for they lived here formerly. They always give a good show at Wonderland. The attendance at this place of amusement has been very large this season, proving that its popularity steadily increases. CLANDESTINE MARRIAGES. Rev.

Father O'Reilly Makes This the Subject of a Very Pointed Discourse. At the late mass in the Cathedral, yesterday morning, Eev. Father O'Reilly, rector of the parish, spoke in no uncertain way of the impropriety and evils of clandestine marriages and descried the habit so fashionable with young people of late of fleeing to Binghamton to nave the nuptial knot tied. He said he had on the previous day received a telegram from two young people, members of the congregation, who wanted him to send his sanction to their being married in Binghamton, Rev. Father Hourigan of that place refusing to perform the ceremony unless the letter of approval from the parish priest was forthcoming.

Father O'Reilly did not send the desired letter but says if they want to get married by a Catholic priewt they will have to return tf their own parish and have the marriage published aocurdfng to the rules of the church. The Rev. Vfm. Stout, Wiarton, states: After being ineffectually treated by seventeen different doctors for Scrofula and blood disease, I was cured by Burdock Blood Bitters. Writo him for proof.

Baking THE COLORED RACE. THERE ARE EIGHT MILLIONS IN OUR LAND. SOI I TSAITCS AS0S5 IEE2. Address of Rev. VV.

P. White of Phila delphia in the First Presbyterian Church He Says That the Number of Colored People Here has Increased More Than 4,000,000 in Twenty Seven Years. Rev. P. "White of Philadelphia spone in the iirst Presbyterian church yesterday mornins from Acts 8 30 31 "Understandest thou what thou readest," and he said "How can except some man should guide 3Ir.

White came here as a representative of Lincoln University to speak of the needs of the colored race. The speaker was a man whose heart is in his work the subject, a practical oue, treated in a practical mauner, and deserved a larger audience than the one which greeted him. "It is to an incident of missionary work in the beginning of Christianity that our attention is called by the text, and as the artist found the sad, pictured face of the old Tuscan poet uuder the whitewash and plaster of an unused room, so Philip scraped oil the covering from the loving face of Christ that the Ethiopian might read and understand." Twenty seven years ago at the close of the great Civil War, there were three million colored people in the laud since thou we have more than doubled that number aud now have more than eight million; the black cloud grows duskier aud denser and bids fair to blot out our horizon. At this rate of increase we shall soon be overwhelmed; reflect on this and then say if you think their moral aud religious education should not be a matter of interest to us. The negro is supposed to be idle and not ambitious, but we find that the race which at the close of the war practically owned not a dollar, now own $264.

000, OIK) of property. Where only a few could read or write, now the majority over ten years of age can do both. It has been proved that for education they will live in the most abject poverty, eat food only fit for horses and endure any privation. As teachers and preachers many of them are lights in the world benevolent men like Peabody and Slater have given large endowments for their education the South has establisned free schools, and the improvement of the race from these advantages is very marked, yet the work is but just begun and inadequate to the demand. Taking the entire South, illiteracy is on the increased because of the rapid increase, in population: for more' than a half million in the South there is no teacher.

One, writiug from Black Bell, says: Their immorality is frightful; they have no conception of right and wrong." All this for lack of proper teaching and opportunity for improvement. Many of the teachers have been, are still, men of no principle, with not even common morality and houesty, and unless an edu cational movement is inaugurated we shall have heathenism in our own land. Think of these people with the ballot in their hands: with this yawning, serjaratinc cuasm ueiweeu mem ana Knowledge. I he race problem of to dav is one of the most momentous and far reachin" problems that is before us. Such intelJi gent observers as ex President Haves and Hon.

James Bright of the English Parliament say "The rays of Christian enlightenment must be made to penetrate into every uook ana corner ot our south em laud, or trouble will ensue. It is our duty to raise a race, now considered interior, to a right comprehension of the duties and rights of our great land to lit them to be the regenerators of their own laud, lo enughten them may be the salvation of our own country. We want more rnuips in the field, and State Church and individual eri'ort combined is needed the work. Lincoln University, in Chester Countv Pennsylvania, is about fortv five miles irom imaueipma, ana was the first to enter the field in 1354. Its obieer tn give assistance to any deserving colored youth of the male sex.

The name is linked with memories which cm never fade from the mind, especially of the colored race which the emancipation proclamation made free. Nearly 400 have been graduated from the University, after a course of from four to seven years, and are engaged in educational work among their people in the South, aud in most instances have been held in honor and esteem. Two hundred have jrone from the theological department and 12 carried the gospel to Africa, 6 of whom laid down their lives there. Names illustrious in our educational life are eloquent in their praise of the work done by the Lniveritv. William E.

Dodge says "It would be well tn ize that there is a Princeton for colored men in Lincoln University." Over 300. 000 has been given in property and endowments which places it on a sound financial basis aud testifies to its importance and usefulness. They have 240 students from sixteen different States; niue professorships all endowed and filled by proficient scholars and teachers. All but fifteen of the students are professing christians; in the senior class every one. One hundred aud thirty dollars per year will educate a boy at Lincoln, Five thousand dollars will found a permanent scholarship to go on through the years.

The speaker then made a strong plea for the churches to take a scholarsnip in the words ot "The New South," a paper edited by one of the graduates in South Carolina, "Give the boy a chance." Make him your agent in ennobling and enlightening the world and in the providence of God this black hand may prove a bulwark of defence against the strong tide of infidelity aud anarchy that threatens to sweep over us. Among them has never been found an anarchist or traitor, and we may yet need the aid of the family of Ham to hold our Common weaitn iu peace. Let us give them a chance to work out a glorious destiny for their race, and in that way give glory to our own. SOUTH SIDE.

Bishop O'ilara. COIUMBOAXI THE PRINCIPLE WHICH GUIDED AMERICA'S DISCOVERER. FOLLOW OliYAED ASD UPWARD. An Able Sermon Preached by Rev. D.

W. Skellenger of the Washburn Street Presbyterian Church Yesterday Morning The Columbus Celebration and the Holidays. Rev. D. W.

Skellenger, pastor of the Washburn Street Presbyterian church, preached an able sermon yesterday morn ing on the Columbus celebration, taking for his text the first part of the third verse, sixth chapter ot Hosea, Ihen shali we know, if we follow on to know the Lord." Reading the text the reverend gen tleman said, "There is no need to remind you that these are Columbian times. Our minds are full of it and the air is full of it. Last Sunday to djy, and next Sunday were set apart by the church for services. Last Sunday was Columbian Home Mission day to day our sermons are to touch on the educational advantages offered now; next Sunday will be Columbian Foreign Mission day. I have tried to follow this out, if not in a strict way, iu spirit.

Why this on the part of public education Was Columbus a public school founder 1 Did he build a new No. 14 or No. 18 on San Salvador? No. Then why canonize him as it were lie was a student, and more a student of geography. This led him to invest! gate the unknown.

The principles of which lies at the bottom of every investi gation the principles that prompted men to risk their lives 400 years ago the principles that lead Columbus to discover this laud of miik aud honey, are the same as those of our text. A follower may be but a hanger on, but our text does uot say so. You all have read or are reading the life of Columbus of his going before King John of Portugal of his leaviu Portugal and under the guidance of God sailing for Spaiu. It was years before he could get an auuieuce witn King Ferdinand and three years later before they consented to recognize his reasoning. How he overcame the objections of tne body of ecclesiastical dignitaries.

How after he had set sail and was on the deep he put his faith in God. The great perseverance exhibited by him was a wonderful gift. This steadiness of purpose is due to the fellow ou principle. The wonderful progress of our educational matters rests on this principle. In fact, it is tne whole foundation and upbuilding of the public educational system.

Our forefathers labored hard to start these schools and oftentimes ate a crust for their supper that they might donate toward the work of educating their children. Read of the early struggles founding Yaie, Harvard aud other colleges; of the privations of the settlers, that the schools might live. Show me the unbeliever or infidel who has devoted himself to such matters of beneficence, with such a steadfastness of purpose. The follow on principle becomes only successful in the sight of him who knows the Lord. Our country to day owes much to the fact that while following on she has followed in the Lord.

That she is a Christian country is not disputed. This great prosperity of ours was founded amidst streams of blood with Christianity as the beacon light. The four hundred years of the history of this country since it was discovered by Columbus, will show to what it owes its progress. The discovery aud consequent exploration of this land has lead to much. Tell me how it is that this nation has accomplished more in four hundred years than other nations have in thousands of years.

It is that while fol lowing on to know we have followed under the guidauce of the Great Leader. I think someone has said that intelligence was enough on which to found a nation. This is not true. You must combine re ligion and intelligence. Since all this is true of nations, may it not be so of in dividuals? It is so, because the principles of the text are applicable to those who have intellect.

1 would say to vou all, follow on to know the Lord. During the service the majinificent choir rendered an anthem and the congre gation sang patriotic hyums.
