PERSONALITIES IN POLITICS. A Ferntcloue Coiiom Traced from Unset to the Present Campaign. 'CatVe" w York Ltter. I saw a recent statement that General Harrison bad said that 10 eonta a day van enough for a laboring man to get. I hate thought that I would like to tee a man with the ciorat transparency to make a charge like tbis, which stands the test of do reason w caterer. The tame charge I beard made, when I was a boy, oo the public stand against I resident Buchanan at meetings where the transparencies were numerous, inscribed Ten-ent Jimmv." It was the tame oil lie peddled around frm time to time, and its antiquity shows us that this dickering with the labor rote hat been going on almost since the foundation of things. Th first thing Moses had to record, next to killing the Eyptu, ti the terrible strain Dot n hit peoplo by Pharaoh. At a good politician Moiea was going to spring an issue on Pharaoh and set the Hebrew folic out on a topographical expeditioo to forward the designs of Moses. So the story was made public that Pharaoh hd laid that the Hebrews taonld make bricks w thsut straw. It is not possible for a human beiog to do anything whatever ic the ranee of exoeriince which mU-ht not be made fatal to him if he tame op as a candidate tor election, under the sonditlons of personal attask. If be said that bis father was a short roan, it could be interpreted to prove that be bad sat down on bis lather. If be said that bis father was a Ions teen, three or foar persons from Indiana could be brought forward to swear that tbe meaning and intent of that phrase was that bis father bad It red too long and ought to bare died tome time before. I nope that no sueh ignorance exists amonr the people as can be reached by imputation of this kind. Why should President Buchanan ever hare advocated wares at 10 cents a day when be was lh sn of poor people, living among the hardest laborere in America, the Pennsylvania Dutch led Scotch-Irish! Yet this point was put against Buchanan by the party which was crying oat for freedom and moral issues Indeed, our elections are meaner than ourselves. The selebrated Parson Brownlow, of Tennessee, teems to beve understood this business, for on ore occasion he accused a man who was running for an Important See of having once stolen t sheep. There was something ludicrous in the reputation f aim an who wanted to be Governor or Senator r Congressman of having stolen a sheep. It seemed to be neeeasary at that stage of the business to make a truly original cb arte one which treuld ftick la the memory. Afier all, Brown-

Bayard, Mr. Cleveland's Secretary of State, has at least ths bich-mindd quality of now and then scorning popularity to be attained in that sort of way. Some time ago when it was said that General Harrison voted in favor of the Chioese or aiint trusting tbe Chinese as if they were outside of the pale of treaty obligations, be stated that he did not know whether Harrison did so or not, but that if be did it was to his credit. This everlasting deifying of the laborer about election time it contemptible demagog;sra, and tbe man who does it ought to be looked at twice, for he would steal a private letter. I read in a New York paper yesterday tbe card of some contractor, saying that it was not true that same e.aadidat had dema'&ded low wages, for, to hie knowledge, all tbe masons had bean paid $50 a day on his work. I turned to a tnan beside c and said: "What has this got to do with rolities? I am paying $1 50 to painters." 'Well." said my friend and vlsttor, "if you were running fer office that would come up against you." "How so?" said I; "the paintere come her sod set their own price, which is tbe cries that everybody pays them in these parts." "Weil," said be, 'if you paid $1.50 a day to painters it would go against you politically." liow m D-eck of Cards Got In Churclu Marietta (Ga.) Special. A very nmneing incident happened at the re cent Sain J opes tabernacle meeting at Cartersvilla.

The sudden eool weather that earns about during the meetings caused overcoats to become a great requisite.

CLARA BELLE'S SVi ft D AY TALK

Another Hlcstration 0f the Fact that the Pen Is Mightier 'than the Sword. Estelle Clayton's Failrjr in the Dramatization of Amelie Uires's,, Romance American Swells Snabbfifi by a Chinaman. fpeclal to the tndlar toll Jonrnat New York, Oct; G. Central TJ. 8. Grant's pen waa mightier ';han his sword, if both are to be estimated by v hat they accomplished for his widow. Grant v as well enough paid in money for his services, 'to his country, perhape, and he received a great reward in fame, certainly; but the achievements of his sword would have left him with no thing to bequeath to bis wife, while bis pea earned a fortune for her, although wielded wti; be was dying. Unfortunate Investments J. ad emptied his puree, and when it became el jar to him that bis autobiography would jieV 1 hundreds ef thousands of dollars, he , raced wit4 death to complete it. I wae reminded ot this no common mightiness of tbo pen yesterday, whe n I viewed tbe beautiful new residence of Mrs. XJraftt. Tho upper western side of New York oif.y is high ground, overlooking the Hudeon r.ver, and along the top of the deolivi'cy runs Riverside Park, with its wide, handsome driveway. The houses along this road are few, as yet, but tbe expectation is that it w ill become one of the most fashionable tborou gb Tares of tbe metropolis. At the upper end of. tbe park ts tbe tomb of Grant, with its little temporary vault to disappoint and shock visitor, a little more than a mile to the southward is the house erected by Mrs. Grant It is a mention in size and beauty. It is a picturesque structure of brick and gray stone, and the interior is ornate to a high derree. Although there are bigfvr and finer residences in the neighborhood, tbe quality of this one may be judged by the fact that its cost, with jost enousb ground to s'aod it on, is 163,000. Tbe furniture, which is now being sumptuously put in, will swell 'the investment to nearly or quite ?200,000. As Jlrs. Grant is by repute a good manager, not at all inclined to reckleee extravarane. it is to be supposed that she reserved sufficient resoorc'S from which to live becomincly in tbis home Her wealth should not be, therefore, very much leas than half a million. Two of her sons aud their wires are going to live with her. aod she exrects that her danchter, Mrs. Nellie bartons, will make long visits, beginning with the ensuing winter. Mrs. Grant ts domestic in her tastes and enjoyments. There is no circle of New York society into which she could not go with a welcome, nor many pretentious coteries into which sbe has not been iovited, but she shows no disposition toward social leadership, although she makes and receives many visits, and is by no means a recluse. e When I saw Mrs. Frederick Grant on a shopping tour, this week, sbe was indulging in the Very latest whim of adornment la a bracelet, which she wore over tbe sleeve of ber dress, was set a watch. It was not a miniature time-piece, such as have been used for some time in jewelry; but of about the ordinary size carried by ladies. It was in all outward respects like an ordinarily fibe watch of inlaid gold, except that there was no stem or ring. It had a hunting cae, how.ever, and when it was shut it might have passed for an unusually big medallion. But whea she held up ons wrist, and with tbe other band touched a spring, tbe rap flew open tnd there was the dial, expssed right side up, for her examination. Such is a new fashion in jewelry, and young Mrs. Grant is one ot its pioneers. e A sign-board that smites the shopper's eyes, in tbo meet crowded part of the district of feminine trade, is lettered: "Slower Cutting Taught by Edwin Booth." Now, although Edwin is waxlc old. he is still tbe idol of women, and his name in connection with so trivial an art as the cutting of artificial flowers surprises them. In an instant they ra'-ize that tbis Edwin Booth is not their Ldwin Hooth, of course, but the instructor who happens to be a namesake of the great Hamlet, gets potent advertising therefrom. What be teaches is merely how to cut flower patterns with a sharp knife in thin pasteboard, tbe Wives and petals of which are then colored, lie has been euabisl by placarding bis name to introduce tbe pistlme into momentary popularity. Our iutenaeat swells will be coming into town for tfie winter iu a week or two, and one of the interesting, if oot important questions Is whether the. Fifth-avenue belles will walk in with canes, fveverel wicdows of fancy goods stores contain displays of long, fanciful walking sticks, a revival from the period of tbe Empress Josephine. Tbe fashion reporters bavs been telling that these things are really goioc to be used to town. It is a fact that in tbe eountry they were in rogue during tbe past season. Those offered for sale are decidedly ornamental, and there is no reason why they should not be adopted into the feh;-ns of the day. Bot considerable bravery will be required in those who first appear on Broadway with them, and here it an uncommon opportunity for the more daring of our belles to distinguish themselves. The sticks are about four feet in length, and the bent hsndles are elaborately carved aod inlaid. Sometime" they are made to serve as the bundle for a email parasol, but that is not tb intention, which Is that they shall be carried uselessly tut ornamentally, as, the dudes do their cenaa. The feminine exploit of the week io town is by Estelle Clayton, in undertaking to realize tbe heroine of Amelia Hires' "Tbe Quick or the Deadf Miss Clayton is locally famocs as a beauty. She is the aSaneed wife of Charles W. Dcrant, a retired Wall-street broker, tbe remnant of whose firm went into bankruptcy a few days ago. But Durant got oat of the street at forty with a fortune, and for eeveral years has dtveted himself to his lovely sweetheart. She is just about as perfect a ereature physically as the metropolis holds. Durant has maintained ber handsomely. In tbe summer she has been a delight to tbe eyes of the people at Long Braneh and Saratoga, and in the winters she is a conspicuously-admired fiture in tne public Assemblages of tbe eity. Her eyes are particularly big and soulful, her features are both regular and expreisionatle, her form is tail and proportionate, and, above all, sbe knows bow to dress herself for tbe best effect Tne United States eould be hunted over without finding a woman more like the Barbara of Amelia Rives s notorious story. Therefore, when Estelle expressed a desire to impersonate, on the stage that novel creature of fiction, Bcrsnt decided to indulge ber. The first thing to do was to get the consent of the authoress, because no dramatization could be used without her legal consent Amelia was at Newport, and a latter brought from her a refusal Then Estelle mads a trio to that summer resort, showed herself to tbe young novelist, and that was euotieh. Her beauty conquered all objection, and she came b.ick with the cesired antbority. A theater wae the next ereat essential, and none of tbe managers would take any risk in the hazardous enterprise. F Durant leased - one of tbe Broadway houses outright. This week has brought the matter before the public. Thereeultant failure is as complete ae it is amusiog. Usually there is nothing but gloom in a theatrical disaster, bot this time there is snoueh singularity to at least relieve the depression. Tne audiences art rather large, and it seems as thouch money enuuvh is taken in to almoti cover the expenses; but Es'elle will hardly be satisfied with fiicneial success accompanied by experience oot unlike that endured by the late Count Joannes and the present James Owen O'Conor. Of course, there is nothing grotesque to laugh at in tbe fair actres, cor is ber acting so much at fault aa to excite any ridicule. But the fact is that the peculiar reputatiou cf The Quick or the Deadl" as a salacious work, full of impetuous bugs and kisses, prepared the wsy for inevitable merriment The women.who dominate ths acsemblages.are alertly expectaot of tbe demonstrations eo warmly depicted in the novel. Barbara comes before tbem satisfactorily a vision cf lovelinessand until the appearance of Joek Beering upon the scene she is regarded "ito rapt admiration. Then tbe troublous jollity begins. His wooing is. conventional, as repreeented in the etaee vereioo, and would be seriously accepted in an ordinary play, but under the eircuDjStsnces. his first embrace of his sweetneart sends ah audible titter through tbe theater. When he impresfes a quiet, decorous kiss upon ber forehead, tbe womeo snteker risht out There is no decorum in the boose after that. Later ripples cf Isnghterand gurgles cf giggle follow every Juxtaposition of tbe lovers. When it eomes to the scene in the woods, where Barbara should he remarkably kit eel over a Tood portion of her surface there is a lull in the ridicule, and lifting of opera-glasses, and a general aspect of high expectancy, "How do I know you love meF Joek inquires. I ; "By tbis and tbis," responds Barbara, I Then sh kisses hia twice on the forehead, I

and he responds by a smack on each of her cheeks. That is all. Tbe inadequacy of the representation seems to anger the feminine spectators a little, and, for an instant they gaze at each other in blank amazement as if to say: "Oh, that is nothing uncommon." Tbeu they all laugh aloud, and tbe poor actors are made to realize ail tbe tortures known to "guying." Afterthat.it is all in vain that Barbara frantically burns ber lettcre, devotes ber cherished bridal-gown to destruction, sees the spook of ber dead husband, aod goes generally to distraction. Her woes have been construed humorously, and "The Quick or the Deadf is 'acghed off the stage. With all their pretensions, the Astor-Vaoder-bilt clique does not constitute tbe moat exelusive society in New York, as some members of that bodv have just learned in a curious manner. Tbe Church of tbe Strangers, ot which the Rev. Dr. Deems ie paator. hae a targe class of Chinamen io its Snnday-scbooL This house of worship ia the one that waa purchased by the late Commodore Yandsrbilt and given to Dr. Deems, not because the old millionaire had become pious, but because bis wife was a devout Christian and a member of that church. Tbis circumstance has made tbe pastor a personal acquaintance cf tbe Vanderbiita. and alt he ugh bis church is too nnfaehionably down town for them to worship, in, he is a frequent and welcome goest at their residences. The other day a Chinaman fell dead from apoplexy in tbe Sunday-school of tbe Church of the Strangers. In a conversation on the subject, Mrs William K. Vanderbilt remarked to Dr. Deems that she had an ardent desire to see some Chinese women. "That would be siffieult," replied tho clergyman, "because the Chinese women in this city are kpt sedulously secluded. There sro sometnmg like ten thousand Chinese in New York and its immediate neighborhood. Probably two hundred of them are females. Br great effort eeveral hundred of the men have been gathered into Sunday-schools, but never a single worn a, or girl To snbjoct a woman to the slightest degree of publicity is to degrade ber, according to the time-honored belief of tbe Chinese, and nobody here has yet been able to controvert that dnenne successfully." It is a further fact that the Chinamen who go to Sunday-schools do net in the least abate their eonvictioo that women who mingle with men are necessarily disreputable. . These fellows may treat their Sunday-echool teachers, who sre not only ladies, but are apportioned at thereto cf one to each and every pupil, with a politic show of respect, but they cannot be brought to reverd them as good -voraen in the eenee that secluded Chioese women are rood. This notion crops out repeatedly in the Sunday-schools, aod nothine cao eradicate It from the Chinese mind. Mrs. Vanderbilt ambitiously undertook to reverse the Chinese social order of things, and make of herself sod a party of friends, welcome guests in a Chinese household. She read in the papers that Yuet Sing, the richest Chinese merchant in New York, bad imported a bride from China. She thought that a party from out of McAllister's four hundred could certainly get an invita tion to the wedding reception. To this end, Wong Chin Foo was summoned. He ia perhaps the most Americanized Chinaman in this part of the country, for be pouesses an English education, and acta as a sort of interpreter and literary factotum for his countrymen. He was told what was wanted by the swells, and he prompt lv replied that it probably couldn't be done, although he would try bla best to bring it about. He went to Yuet Sing with an explanation of the matter, and got an uohesitent answer that his bride waa a Chinese lady. Tbst statement seemed to him quite sufficient as a decisive negative. Of course, she was not to lower herself by associating with womeo who walked the streets with uncovered faces, and conversed openly with taeo. So the Vanderbilt-Astor excursion to Mott street was not mad. The privaoy of the Chinese ladies in New York Is positively inviolate so fsr as Americans are concerned. This new wife of Yoet Sing lives at No. 15 Mott street Her wedding, and the two ensuing days of feasting, were quite Inaccessible to others than Chinamen, and the only accounts that appeared in the newspapers ware gained at second-hand from Wong Chin Foo. He tells your correspondent that tbe bride is the prettiest girl eter brought to this country from China. She is not quite eighteen yesrs old. aud is very diminutive, her height lacking several inches of five feet, and her weight being only eighty-flea pounds. She wss negotiated for, after tbe Chinese fashion, by an agent of tk-a briiegroom, who is seventy years old, and uglier than Crowley, tbe deceased chimpanzee. For this fact I do not depend upon Wng Chin Foo. , It is a matter of personal observation. He is a wizen, yellow ol4 horror, and bus every excuse for hiding himself as rarefo'lyasbe hides bis little wife. She cost him over six thousand dollars, and he means to keep her to hinseelf. Even at the mnrnac ceremony in the jos-bouse, she was made to hide ber face behind a curtain, tboorh the only witnesses present were a few carefnlly chosen Chinamen. At ber own reception, subsequently, only Chinese women were present. This is the affair to which the Fifth-avenue swells desired so earnestly to go. bnt from which they were excluded s unworthy, just as they themsejvea shut out other people. Claea. Bxllk.

KEROSENE A RANK TO CHINA. Petition Io' tbe Emperor to llaalsh It from the Empire. New York son. China, or at least some of the officials ot China, wish to retaliate for American Chinese restriction laws by laws prohibiting the inpur-. tation.of American kerosene toto China. Chang Chitung, Viceroy of Canton, has addreseed a memorial to the Emperor, io which he arrases kerosene as the greatest menace to the peace and prosperity of the empire. It burned up 400 houses in Swatow not longarn, he says, and jost before that it destroyed a steamer and cost bOO reople their lives. Soon afterward It burned 1,000 nooses it Canton and destroyed $10,00,000 werth of property. It is responsible, be says, for nine-tenths of the fires that occur every winter in Canton. He declares that it hat done incalculable injury to life and property; that it is worse than opium, being more swift and terrible in its dadiioess; and that it has almost destroyed the native industry in peanut, colza, and bao oiL Oo account of its evil deods the Viceroy ears that he did his best last year to kill the trade in kerosene by raising the inland transit dues on it but the fell destroyer wae too subtle to be driven out by tbis process, sod tbe evil wsa increasing rstber than diminishing. Therefore the Viceroy now petitioos the throne for aiJ io his struggle with tbe foreign trader, who, under the guise of friendship, Insists on profiting himself by Introducing aa article highly injurious to tbe welfare of China. The Viceroy points out that there is no difficulty in putieg an end to the baleful trafbc, because the treaty of 1SS1 with America makes provision to limit Chinese immigration to that country oo account of tbe competition of Chinese labor being objectionable, "and if they can prohibit our going there because Chinese labor is injurious to tbeir interests, we have an equal right to prohibit tbe Importation of kerosene when it is injurious to cs. The law that nations beve a right to protect their own interests and prevent injury being done to their people applies to both countries alike, if there be any justice; and when either government sets on this principle no objection cao be raised by tbe other." The Viceroy therefore formally requests that a stop be instantly put to tho importation of the baleful kerosene. Who's General Uenet? To tbe Editor of tbe Tribune. Sir: Do yon want to know who Stephen Benet ie? I will tell you. About 1835 a gentleman was in the habit of visiting St. Augustine, Fla. It was a queer old town, aboanaioe? in worthlees, 8'eepy. dirty tninoreans. Ooe of these semi-barbarlan had a little hovel on a back street. Near tbo entrance was an eld door, placed across two barrels, over which the proprietor, one Pete Bennett, dispensed champev rano to the young men aod revellers of the town a very coarse crew. Hi gon, a little dirty bare footed boy, was noted fer his cunning and brightness. Picked op by a member of Congress, the boy was sent to Weet Point to be graduated in 1819. He never heard a ballet whistle, but fought a bloody battle on the plains at Went Point He found time to drive Colonel Laidly ont of the ordcanee corps because he knew too mnch of him. ACT. WasaixJGTOJr. Oct. V, 1688. Tho Caricature Plant. One of the most remarksble of all plants is that known to botanists as tbe Justieia pieta, wbieh has also been well-earned tne "caricature plant." At first sight it appears to be a heavy, large-leafed plant with pn'ple blossoms, chiefly remarkable for tbe light-yellow centers of its dark green leaves. When one first sees this odd f lam, and thinks what a sickiy, bliahte I appear snee the queer yellow stains give it, he is suddenly impressed with the faet that the plant is "making faces" at him. And this first impression is correct. This curious shrub indeed occupies itself in growing ud in ridiculous caricatures of the 'human face divine. and is covered from tbe topmost lesf down with the queerest faces imaginable. Nature baa taken to caricaturing Tne flesh colored profiles stand out in strong relief against tbe green f tbe leaves. The plant readily grew in a common hot-house.

AN INTEEESTING REMINISCENCE. History of a Sait of Clothes Worn by Gen. W. II. Harrison at His Inauguration. .

Special to the Indianapolis Journat Crawtokdsvillk. Oct 6. A short time ago an item was published in the Journal in regard to the suit of clothes worn by Geo. W. H. Harrison when he made his inaugural address. A letter was sent to Jos. Bainard, of Hopkinton, N. IL, inquiring about the matter, and the following is an extract cf bis reply, under date o( Sept 27: "It is true that the wool was grown on tnr farm, and on one adjeining owned by Mr. Sibley. The sheep, which were of the finest Saxon breeds, were owoed by my father and Mr. Sibley here in Hwpkioton. X. H . from wbieh thm wool wss take o that wss made into cloth by the Midileeex Corporation, of Lowell. Mars., and sent to New York, mado into a smt of clothes, and presented to Gen. W. IL Harrison, grand father of tbe present nominee, of your State, Benj. Harrison, and was worn by him when he delivered his inaugural address. The Idea was csnceived by the late Hon. Samuel Lawrence, wbo was at that time superintendent and general manager of the above named corporation. He was a Clay Whig of tbe strongest type, and believed that Amenca should protect American industries. He was a man who believed thtft faith aod works abould go together. It is an interesting fact that for fortyeight years there has been no campaign fongnt on the tariff issues, pure and simple, and the grandson of the old hero shoold now be the caudate on tbe same question. The tariff legislation that followed the election of 1840 gave such impetus to the manufacturing through New England that villages grew into cities and new cities sprung up where there was nothing bot poor farm lands hardly worth owning. Thousands of people who had nothing to do a large part of the year are now employed the year roond;.well fed, well clothed ant their children have the best of schooling More than half of the whole number in New Hampshire are manufacturers. Then wo raised food products equal to the amount we eoneume l. now we buy nearly, or quit halt from the West of everything exeept vegetables, and may be bay. Then I voted against Old Tip, but if I live to go the polls in November, shall vote for young Tip." A SUNDAY IN NEW T0KK CITY. Written fer ths Fug day Journat To see Broadway aright ooe must tee it in the ibean at a Sfptmber Sunday morning. Week days It is so encumbered with masses of life and their roar and friction that the exquisite beauty of tbe great thoroughfare is completely lott Jscob Shsrpe, if be deserved the penitentiary (aa undoubtedly he did), deserved also the gratitude of all good New Yorkers for relieving Broadway of the omnibus nuisance. Tbe neat, tasteful horse-ears sre en unspeakable improvement upon the old order or rather disorder. Broadway contains some moat exquisite engineering and also beautiful vistas test no ons ever can possibly see upon a week day. In tbe early bonrs of a September Sabbath a stroll np or down this famous street is as charming as a stroll by the ocean or In the deep forest The grand buildings, the perfect pavements and tbe constantly changing vistas affo rl a seene that ts as kaleidoscopic and beautiful as any in fairyland. Besides, Broadway is a strict joberver of the Sabbath. Not ooe of its ten thousand shops tut rigidly obeys the command, "Uewirater the Sabbath day." 'ibis aids wooderfplly to its charm. Even the drab horse-cars move slowly and at a respeetful distance from ach other, as if striving iu tbeir dumb way to honor tie great commandment New York city affords to those in whom the instinct and passion fer worship, is developed mesne for spiritual improvement onequaled anywhere in the world. In a great throng of two million people ail phases of cur religious nature can be gratified to their fullest extent. Here tbe lovers of Calvin and Knox can hear their favcrite doctrines preached in all their puti-y end sternness; while tbe latitudinarian, and toe liberal, and the religious crank of the last pattern can find ample company and great chuichee ecd eocteties devoted to their particular tsm. TL-.e are one hundred different denominat ions end a dozen different reltcions preached and pmtced here ia the great metropolis. Worship tn all of its ptases is ene of ths ultimate facts of the human i out It is as ultimate ant. ucexplainahle as our love cf mtsle cr osr artietie feeultie. And te multifariousness f the different phases of the religious sentiment is only equaled by its universality. Tbo warshiD ot the poor is one of the most deliehtful of its manifestations. But the worship of the rich has its eharms and eights. WLPe it is ev glory of humanity that the por can freely approach God wfthout prieat or -ventiele, yet the fame God does not refuse ejeship enriched by gold, fraukmcena and nyrro. The gorgeous churches of tbe merchant pneces and millionaires of this great tity express a crest fact, as well as those humble sndnttnerous pine boxes in which tbe great working elas.'es worhip. Tnere is a place in wor:h:p tcr tbe jewels of gold, the fragrance of Cowers, Turpi of velvets, and the glories of music, c!quenee and architecture. I have just com from one of the gfrceoct churches of the Fifth avenue. I found God really and reverently worshiped there, where thousands are expended ia consecrating to His service for the hour, at least, human voices that upon week days command fabulous sums st operas and concerts. And who shall ssy that the rich have not an equal richt to . lay at the feet ef their Maker io worship all that their wealth can purehaae, whether of eloquenee, or mnsie,'or temples ef marble aod gold! Or wb eball say that this worship, if sincere, is not accepted by Him as well as tbe contrite prayers of the poor! Why should not a rich man pray as well as a poor maut Ths worship of tbe rich iseas mueh a fset Io humanity as that of the poor. And if it is liable tv degeoerate into hollow forms, eo is that of the hcmbler classes.' Let ns be jast to both rich and poor. The religious sentiment is far better developed and educated here ia the East than in the newer and cruder West Tbis is largely owing to the fact that the edncatirg process began almost two centuries before tbe West was inhabited. Two centuries of churches, schools and religious training have brought forth larger aod more perfect fruit io the East than in the West When tbe West is as old as the East we shall sea there the same religious advancement as here in the East New York: may be a very wicked city. I do cot contradict it But it has also onequaled aa vantages for religions culture, and for that reason the great deoomioat'ons have been and still are wisely locating their great theological training schools within "ber borders. This is as it abould be. The old idea of religion was that its great eblect was to prepare for tbe hereafter. The new doctrine is that Its chief object and best wrk ie to be ia this life, and that the best place to prepare its teachers is in a great tty. where life is seen in tbe greatest masses and also in las best Jnd worst phases. I close this letter Ly repeating that n where in tbe new world can a Sabbath be epsnt to so great spiritual advantage as among tbe endless ehorehes and religions aud ethieil as well as scientific circles of the great metropolis. D. P. Baldwin. New Yen Crrr. Sunday Sept 30, 183. Eflect of the Universal Trades-Union "Gun V flew York Letter. If the universal trades-onion xted all over this land it would simply destroy the mecuauio in th country. His customers eould not pay what the man in the city demands shall he the standsrd of pavmeot As far as tbe agricultural trade goes the application of the tratee-ueion to that wonld depopulate America. This Chtnse question alto hss an application the politicians never take op, and tnat is the household service. In some respects we are the worst attended Nation on the globe at our tables, in our cooking departments aod In the general fe nalo service. We have destroyed the servant class, and there is no such class in America as servants. No man dare in these days read in tne pulpit the admonition 'servants obey thy roasters.' We have neither masters nor servants. Jefferson tsm destroyed all that Were it cot fur tbe colored popntation fully ooe-thlri ef this country would be without household service. And what is the benefit of all these fine bouses which the mechanics build if they cannot be kept! If the wife aod the daughter most go and cook and wash, they do cot need such houee. In thateate we shall disebarre all these mechanics wbo insist opn their trades-uoien systems going around the world. We shall pull these fine houses down, built oneStory tenements, have, no stairs to climb, and bow much better will the world bef It is by the inequalities of men, and cot by tbeir equalities, that employment is made general, and happir.ets ts poestble.
