A FAST-FLYING TRIP, '

An IxcLiiipolitxn I'ikes the Quickest Ccjan Fassige cn Record. From New York to Edinburgh Incident ef the Yoyage-GIimptea of Erl a aud Kurland. ISpecial Correspondence of the Sdatinel. EnsErKCH, Scotland, March 13, 1SS7. On Sunday, Febt nary 27, our little family jarty joyously sailed away from Xew TorK on board the magnificent steacushlp Etruria of the Canard line. - The Etruria la the most perfect ship that sails the ocean to-day, and on tkia voyage beat the record rj making the fastest time ever made beteten New York and Qaeenstown. I was not at all sea-sick, and none of our party were very seriously so, although the weather was quite rough the lirst three days oct. However, I have become a pretty ood sailor by this time, as a result cf my previous voyages. On the fourth day the good ship made 430 knots (537 miles). This is the fastest time ever made in twenty-four hours. Oar fellow-passen-pers were mostly English, and as is usual aboard ship we all soon became lite one large family. On the evening of MarcH 4 our musical and theatrical talent entertained us with a very creditable performance for the benefit of the Liverpool Home for Disabled Seamen. We passed and signalled on the way numerous steamers belonging to other lires, among them the Oermanic, of the White Star Line, on which I had the pleasure of crossing from Liverpool to New York on a previous visit to Europe, and cn that voyage we made the quickest trip ever made up to tbat date, but far behind the time made on this voyage by the fleetfcoted Etruria. Among our sterage pissergers was a young man far gone in the last slasres of consumption, who, knowing that trie hand of death was upon him, was hastening over the ocean to die in the arms of loved ones at home. He was entirely alone, and his anxious longings that he might live to reach his native land were pitiful to behold. But he was not destined to win in this race with death, for the end came when he was ' almost in sieht of the promised land. Early Saturday morning ail was bustle and excitement on board, as it was known that we should be able to distinguish land before many hours had passed. Sjou, perched upon a huge ruck, the well known x'astnet light loomed into view, and we recognized the rugged shores of old Ireland. God bless her! May she s ton be free is the prayer of lovers of liberty throughout the world. At iaeenstown we landed several paseiigers and over 7oO bags of mail, and tl en proceeded up the ilersey to Liverpool, wnere we arrived about noon on Sunday, March 0, after the pleasantest voyage I have ever experienced. Liverpool has over 600,000 inhabitants, end is the second city in Great Britain m population ami importance. It is one of the great seaports of the world, and its magnincent docks ;over over 200 acres, with some fifteen miles of juays. Nearly one-third of tte trade of Liverpool is with the United States. We remained here several days seeing the sights by day and visiting the theaters by night, aud then took the northern express over the Northwestern Kailway for Edinburgh. We were most comfortably situated for traveling, having secured a special saloon car for our own use, and, as the day was lovely, we enjoyed the panorama of pastoral beauty constantly opening before ns. Eogland is especially noticeable in the charms of her rural beauty and the attractiveness of her country life. The rst city of importance passed on the route is Wigan, a manufacturing plae cf considerable renown, near which is "Haigh Hall," one of the seats of the Karls et Crawford, and in the vicinity Prince Ctar'es the Tretender was concealed after his defeat in 1745. Twenty-five miles farther we reach Freston formerly known as "Proud Preston" a city of over 100,000 inhabitants, largely devoted ta cotton manufactures. .Next we come to the ancient city of Lancaster, so celebrated in the wars of York and Lancaster. A good view of the old castle built by "Old. John of Gaunt, time-honored Lancaster," is to be had from tbe railway station. This city is associated with royal dignity through Henry IV., and one ot the titles of the Prince of Wales ia "Duke of Lancaster." "Fifty milea further and we reach Penrith, with the ruins of Ilichard the Third's old castle frowning down upon us as we pass. Near this city is the famous "Hound Table of Kin Arthur," where - "Ke Dajsed Ked Penrith's table round. For leata cf chivalry renowned." A short distance from Penrith is the ancient city of Carlisle, known in border song and story as "ilerrie Carlisle." Here is a ruined castle that has withstood the erce assaults of Wallace and of Bruce and many a celebrated border leader, for we are now cn the famous dividing line between Eagland and Scotland, the scene of interminable forays and conflicts in the times of the borderers before the union of the two countries. ''All the blue bonnets were over the border'' many times in'those good old days wben the Douglasses, the Percys and the Northumbenands were gia&ts in the land. A few miles farther on and we cross the line into Scotland and piss through Gretna Green, famous as the Paradise of runaway couples from England. Then parsing through E;clefechan, where Carlylfe waa born, Lochmaden, where it i claimed Robert Bruce was born, and Dalrxahoy Fark, seafof the Earls of Morton, we arrive at last at "EUnboro Town," where most of our party will make their home for a considerable time to come, and and here I will conclude this hastily written letter and leave a further reference to Scotland's capital for mv next communication. W. E. E. GENERAL GRANT'S COOLNESS. Haw tbe Old Commander Could Remain I'ndlatnrbcd bj Shot and Shell. I Philadelphia Fress.l 'General Grant," said Captain E. N. K. Talcott, of Chicago, to me the other day, in speaking of the military experience which brought him in contact with the great commander, had the best memory, was the most level-headed and quiet, and the ab'est man I ever met." Daring the close of the operations about Richmond Captain TVicott was in charge cf the engineer depot at tne Bermuda Hundreds, from which the wants of the great vise which was alowly clo3ei upon Lee by Grant were supplied, and his position brought him in constant c mtact both with headquarters and the GeaeraL Like every other man whom I have ever met who had come in contact with General Grant in action, he was most impressed with the extraordinarilyquick perception with which he aeized every Incident. "While I was on General Foster's staff," said Captain Talcott, "General Grant once came to our line with his staff, and we all stood on a little knoll opposite which was a Confederate battery, the number of whose guns General Grant wanted to find out. In order to learn what it would coat to take it. Instead of leaving a staff otlicerto count the dashes of the guns, as almost any other man would have done, he stood on the knoll aud began watching them. Of course as soon as he stepped there General Foster went there. General Grant's personal staff followed him and General Foster's personal staff stepped up alongside of . their Commander. Thin made the prettiest mark you ever aaw. We were near enough for tbe battery to eee that we were ofii:ers. It was a lare eroup of officers, and while the shell were crting over Grant's head when he stepped there, it wa not "very long before they began to get 'the xazge axd pretty s?on a t-C-1 strask

the ground and threw sand all through us. L'y mis time Rawlins, who was always amicus over his chief, said, 'General, this is too exposed a positian for you to stand iD,' 'Weil,' said Grant, without taking the cigar out of his teeth or turning his head, as he watched the flashes, 'if yoadoa't.like it you had better get down under' the knoll.' General Rawlins did not move, and another shell reminded everybody that the battery was getting the range very closely. 'You gentlemen,' said Grant, again without turning, 'have nothing to do up here and I guess you had better get uxder cover at once.' And, waiting a moment longer, until he had settled the number of the battery to his satisfaction, General Grant went back alone to the shel ter of the knoll." . "At another time," continued Captain Talcott, "in the closing operations around Petersburg, it happened that I was with the Tenth Corps, General Terry's, which was in action with its right resting on General Hancock's, the Second. Between the two ran a deep ravine, at the head of which was a Confederate battery, and, as the fre of the battery commanded the ravine the entire length, it had not been considered possible for the troops to stand at the bottom of the ravine under üre. General Grant rode up and said to General Terry: 'What does this mean? Why aren't these lines connected? They will sweep right in here and turn you right and left.' General Terry explained the circumstances at some length, but General Grant, who had teen watching the ravine, interrupted him to 83y: 'What troops you got here?' 'The 100th New York,' said General Terry, 'Colonel Dandy's regiment.' 'Send him here,' said G eneral Grant. Now Dandy was a West Tointer and a whooper. He rode up and saluted, as General Grant said: 'I want you to take your regiment down and connect these lires in that ravine.' Colonel Dandy saluted again, with, 'Certainly, sir,' formed his regiment as if he was going out on dress parade, colors in the center, and swung down into the ravine under hre of the battery, and when the work was over rode back, with another salute. 'The lines are connected, sir!' How many men did you lose? asked General Grant. 'None, sir, said Colonel Dandy. 'I thought so,' replied General Grant. And then everyone saw what General Grant had seen as soon as he rode up and looked over the field tte twigs which were falling from the trees under the hre of shot and shell from the Confederate br ttery only came from the top branches. The battery was firing over the ravine, and the men once marched into its ted were as safe there as anywhere in the line."

FIVE NOTABLE MEN.

The Manners and Appearance of the later-State Commtis'oaers. I Philadelphia Pres. J The Inter-state Commerce Commissioners show as many radical differences in appearances as any five men who could have been selected. They vary in height til the way from the giant Walker, ef Vermont, down to the five feet six or seven inches of Judge Cooley, and in girth a?ain from the comfortable proportions of Mr. Walker's waistband all the way to the narrow chest and stomach that the Judge's small waistcoat always covers too much. The Judge, as a matter of fact, i3 the disappointing figure in the commission. The popular impression about him, gained very likely from the artistic wood-cuts that take the place of reading matter in the Western newspapers, has been that he was stout, solid, and somewhere about sixty. Iiis face was supposed to be round aud jolly, his beard shaved oS a little for convenience in getting at bis mouth, and his weight, which seemed in the pictures to be one of his principal features, amply tuff cient to keep up his judicial dignity. To eret at the truth about his appearance you have to picture exactly the opposite kind of a man. He is slender, anxious-looking, and, for so aggressive a man, very modest in speech and manner. He talks with his head bowed down, as if thinking carefully over what was said, and in mere formal matters is courteous, polite and considerate to a very pleasant degree. On matters of business his manner to a close observer is changed. He is as polite as before and just as considerate, but something about him indicates that he has made up his mind, and, whether pleasant or unpleasant, must carry his decision out. He is not evidently the kind of a man to say "No" roughly, but if he says it even in his most uncertain and deprecatory way there is something about it that would evidently make argument worse than useless. His thin gray hair and the lines in his face show the traces of long wrestling with hard problems and his high forehead gives some measure of his ability. Altogether he is not unlike a clergyman in appearance, and his differential way of standing up for his principles does not do anythmzSto lessen the likeness. TL!3 Mr. Morrison, the second member of'tne board, is the most talked of and least.understood man in public life in the country. A great many people ofier the explanation for the difficulty in understanding hiru that there is nothing in him to understand, and it is a very serious question often whether they are not more than half right. Mr. Morrison is accessible always, and in Lis way courteous, but nobody comes away from his room knowing more than when he went in. Eor telling what won't be done he has very few superiors, but when it comes down to a matter of either information or opinion there is nothing to be got from him. On the tarifi question, wbich has been his chief stocfc in trade, there is a very well defined opinion here tbat his clerk knows a great deal more than he dees. He never cave away any of bis information at any rate, and probably was right in not reducing the stock. In the commission so far be has had very little to say, nominating Mr. Cooley for chairman because it was one of the arrangements between himself, Mr. Carlisle and the President that he should do so, and then settling back to a little oruinary committee work in arranging about rooms ai d a place of business. He will hardly be as prominent on the commission as in the House, and especially will not shine while Carlisle and the Breckinridires are away. Morrison's figure is familiar. His plain blue or black coats, his narrow trousers, with their tendency to climb up his boots, and his shiny hat have been described for jears in letters from Washington. His manners, however, are indescribable. He is witty, ugly, good-humored and irafcible in the same minute, and the man who thinks himself snubbed in one instance will find himself laughing at his good bnmor in the next. His friends say he is kind-hearted, but he is too dogmatic and careless about other people's feelings to ever be popular socially. Commissioner Bragg is the typical Southern man. He is big, rough, careless about formalities and very vigorous in talk. In his dress be evidently takes AttorneyGeneral Garland for a model. He wears a big hat with a stiff, flat brim and a top like an inverted stew-pan, and an overcoat which usually has to hold on by the top buttons. His hair is dark and pretty closely cropDed, and his beard is mostly on bis chin. He wear9 overgaiters, but they are not of the light shade that dudUh swells like to wear on Chestnut street, and even in the South can hardly be considered a good fit. It Is about even guessing that be will divide the honor with Attorney-General Garland neit winter of being the only man in Washington who won't wear a "dresa suit. Since his appearance hf re he has been living at one of the hotels, talking very little to anybody and giving no one a chance to get anything but an outside impression of what he will do. He is very little known except among people of bis own State, and even from them the only definite information to be gained is that he was a good railroad commissioner. The probability is that he will be pretty clear-headed In his opinions and very decided in sticking to them. He will hardly follow Judge Cooley everywhere. Mr. Schoonmaker, of New York, has the air of a conservative business man. He don't look excitable or easily worried, and bas been regarding the flood of callers and letters with praiseworthy serenity. His appearance is something like that of James G. Blaine. His hair and fu'l beard are gray, his nose prominent, his eyes large and his color good, and in a profile view especially he shows very many of Mr. Blaine's characteristics. His eyes, with the heavy surges underneath them, mark the resemblance strongly. Mr. Schoonmaker talks very little. He goes at it conservatively, comfortably aad slowly, as if he would just as soon talk as not, and gives the impression that, while be is willing to discuss ordinary matters, authoritative promises and statements can't be made until he is certain about them. His place on the commission is a little dilhcult to indicate, but he is certainly not near so likely to push his own plans as Bragg. Tessibly be will supply the balance wheel which the concern very badly needs. Mr. Walker, the friend of Mr. Edmunds, has as powerfal a frame as the Senator must have had is his younger days. He is over six feet tall, broad-shouldered and full-chested and just stout enough to round out a good figure. He has a large bead, a short, full beard, into which the gray has not yet began to come, and hair that, for want of a better name, might be called brown. He looks like a thoroughly competent business man, and in appearance ought to be the head of the commission. The work of the commission so far has been chiefly preliminary. They are cooped up in two or three small third-story rooms on either aide of a hallway, and they are under the necessity of meeting, examining their mail and seeing personal friends all practically in the one larger room. When one of them wants a special chat with a caller he leads him across the hallway, but in most cases there have been more persons in the room they came to than in the one they left. Themaiiis gathering on the tables, in the corners, on the mantelpieces and on the floor, until there will not be room to come in in a weefc, and then new rooms will have to be secured. The prospects for any intelligent actios on important questions until some time after the law has gone into effect is very poor indeed. How tbe Indian Write English. ICerll&le Industrial School Star.

WANAMAXER'S EXPERIMENT.

A Philadelphia Employer Who Shares His Profits With His Employes. Philadelphia Press.] Mr. John Wanamaker, by admitting his employes to profit-sharing, has broken new ground in the history of co-operation. Co-operation in its many forms has been limited to production and distribution, save as the co-operative banking system of Germany and our own mutual insurance systems and building associations show tbe application of the co-operative principle to the accumulation of capital. But while the past offers no guide save by inference for Mr. Wanamaker's experiment, all that has been done points to its success. Other things being equal, the man who adds the personal devotion of employes to all other odds in his favor has a better chance of success than the man who does not do this. By high wages and special consideration most successful employers Etiive to do this, but Mr. John Wanamaker, with his usual skill at orginizing in working shape what others feel and see mistily, has put this consideration into a definite, tangible form which must appeal most powerfully to every man who works for him. Such a step is a great advance along the path John Stuart Mill marked out in saying of our present system: "The industrial economy which divides society absolutely into two portions, the payers of wages and the receivers of them, the first counted by thousands and the last by millions, is neither fit nor capable of Indefinite duration, and the possibility of changing this system for one of combination without dependence and unity of interest instead of organized hostility depends altogether upon the future development of the partnership principle." Hitherto in applying co-operation to the work of distribution only two factors, the capital embarked and the customer, have been considered. The third, the salesman, has been overlooked. A busines of $100,000,000, all of whose profits are divided between customers and those who provide the original capital, is done by English co-operative stores, but their clerks are paid like those in any other establishment. The five largest of these London companies, all joint companies, in 1882 sold $23,892,650 of merchandise, on which they reaped gross profits of $2,250, 000, in which employe, did not share as such The principle of co-operation has given all these organizations an advantage which, in 1882, ha1 raised their total number in England to 782 retail societies with a trade of $64,300,000, while wholesale societies had a trade of $17,800,000, and the membership of these organizations is one in nine of population in England and one in eight in Scotland. Co-operative organizations for the same purpose distribution on a cheap bassis by saving the retail profit do a trade in this country of about $20,000,000. Oae of these, the Philadelphia Industrial Co operative Society, conducted by Knights of Labor, is pronounce by Professor R T. Ely, "one of the most brilliant examples of success achieved by co operation." The Grangers, with their great store in Baltimore, doing a trade of $2,000,000 in two years after it had been started on a capital of $12, and their Granger Bank in California, with a capital of $3,000,000, paid up. furnish another co-operative success. But in all these, and in lesser enterprises like them the employe has only his salary, and the apt complaint is made by a man in Massachusetts managing a co-operative labor store that he did not dare to look well-fed for fear he would hear complaint that he was over-paid. A complaint with some of whose phases Mr. Powderly is familiar. Not less successful have k- 'he experiments in profit-sharing w ut-j 3 production is concerned. M. Goain' cjuiuiunity at Guise, in which over 400 persons are interested in an iron foundry, all of whose protits above 5 per cent, on capital are divided among employes, with a system of retirii;g pensions, is the largest and most conspicuous instance of co-operation in production, but it is only one of fifty or sixty like enterprises tn France. It is now forty-Eve years since M. Leclaire founded the great house-painting firm of Paris, whose employes, originally eighty, have averaged over 1,000 in number for years past, and who received, 1S12-S2, i$5G5,22j in cash and $ 027,900 paid to the fund which provides with a retiring fund every man over sixtyfive.orwbohas labored twenty-five years or has met with an injury. In this period the addition of ' these pavments towages has amounted to 20 per cent. A great printing firm. Maison Chaix, with 331 employes, in 1SS3, had distributed on a similar basis $31,210 in cash and $12L,4 3.3 in benefits from 1872 to 1SS1, with piano works and u:usic-box makers telling a like story. The imitation of these establishments in England has, up to a recent time, met with ill success. Messrs. Briggs, English colliery owner, beginning in 1SCS with pro tit -sharing on a rising market, were forced to abandon it in 1S74, when their workmen refesd to accept lower wages on a falling market. Fox, Head v Co., an Eiglish iron-wcrking firm, had a precisely similar experience, and this, we regret io say, was the result of profit sharing attempted in a well-known machine shop in this city. But, in spite of failure, the principle has made its way. Williaai Thompson & Sons, great wojl manufacturers ot Hudderstield, have turned their works into a co-operative enterprise, and Messrs. lloyle, cf Manchester, attribute their success in running at a profit in dull times to profit-sharing with their hands. Spinning mills have yet to be managed on tnis basis in this country. There are a few cooperative foundries scattered over the country; but none successful on a large Ecale, C. A. Pillsbury it Co., howaver, the great milling firm of Minneapolis, have for sew years divided $100,000 a year of their promts among their men, and the o-oper. ative cooper shops in the same city do halt the-trade in barrels In that grest milling center. The Century shares profit with employes, and so do the New York Staats Zeitung and Boston Herald. A mercantile business, however, rests upen a different basis from all these coopei ative enterprises in distribution and pioocction, and in h's appeal to the cooperative principle Mr. WaDaraaker has no recoided predecessor in traffic Tne Orleans railroad system, one of the largest in France, has shared profits with its employes since 1842 and, 1342 82, has dislJ.buted $12.016,800 upon this principle, but as the payments were continued at the rate of 10 per cent, cn salaries and treated as a working charge the system has practically become a bonus for gooa service. More akin to the step just taken here is the experience of the Compagnie des Assurances Generales, of Faris, whose 2:0 clerks have received since 1830 5 per cent, on all profits; the company raying ont, 1830 52, $032,183 in cash and $1,017,080 in pension benefi s. This experiment run upon lines not unlike those propofed by Mr. Wanamaker suggests that a mercantile enterprise is at least as open to tbe co-operative principle in furnishing employes who do better work than those who do not share the profits of their industry. To the results of this experiment the great world of workers will turn with a deep interest. If it succeeds, if It bears the stress of the sharp competition of mercantile warfare, if the great business goes on growing under its stimulus, we question whether any man to-day living within the confines of Philadelphia has a better chance of remembrance among men than Mr. John Wanamaker. Rata! Een: 1'erley roore.l "I was In Washington when Buchanan appointed SamMedary Governor of Minnesota. -I happened to go Into the White House jnstasMedary ctmeoTit We had been old friends, and had wined and dined together. Of course there was nothing for it on this occasion but to go with him and take a toddy. We etrollod down the avenue to the National Hotel and went up to his rccm. He ordered up a pitcher of

'TorC'and-Jerry, and with itauothero! hot water, end we s down for a char an i a drink. After a waile I went out and uok my way up the avenue over ino Georgetown to my home. Ia the cjurse of an hour and a half I was taken violently sick. I was never so 6ick in my life at short notice. They put me to bed and did all manner of things for me, and in the morning I was conscious enough to hear the news of wtat was called the National Hotel disease. Medary was prostrated horrioiy, and for a time his life was almost despaired of. I never could account for that National H tel disease on any other theory than my own, and I don't known that anyone ever did account for it. A few days before I drank this toddy there a professional ratkiller had been employed in an adjtcnt building to clear it of "vermin. He did tnis work with poison, and I sappose the poisoned rats went into the cistern of the hotel, and when this water was heated the poison, together with the bodies of the rata, made the water poisonous and caused all the disease." l'ISTOK AND PEOPLE, The Methodist Episcopal Church, at Marion, Ind., is heated by natural gas. General Dick Gano, of Confederate army farre, is now a fall-fiedged evangelist. He hails from Texas. English Wesleyans are talking of celebrating the centenary of John Wesley's death, which took place on March 2, 17J1. Tastor Well, what did you young people realiz? at your entertainment? Member of the Committee We have just realized that we are $25 out. In response to a circular asking their views on the subject, the Irish Wesleyan ministers, it is said, with six exceptions, replied that they were opposed to home rule. The Church ofEngland received last year in voluntary ofierings $8,lX),2öO for the building and restoration of churches and rparsonages, and the endowment of benefices. "Mrs. Jones," said the pa3tor. "I hope you are observing Lent." "Oh, yes," was the animated reply, "I am denying myself of all worldly pleasures. I have even given up going to church." Young Innocence Papa, what did the minister mean to-day when he said that the race for gold was turning men from Christ? Wise Papa That be would go to another church unless we raised his salary. "On next Sunday," eaid Father Maguire to his congregation, " the funeral of A. B. will be held in this church. I sball preach a funeral sermon on the occasion, and the man himself will be here the first time in twenty years." The ministers appear to be about the only class of travelers who are particularly pleased with the inter state commerce bill. It allows the railroads to sell t'ieni tickets at reduced rates, as of old, and they are happy in the thought that the law will not interfere with their usual fishing excursions and seaside vacations. Little Nell I'm awful sorry for poor nursie. Mamma Why, pet, your nurse looks well and happy. ' But the angels won't never know how good she is, and majte they'll make a mistake an' let her go to the bad pi ace." ''Mercy me! What put that into your little head?' "Why, she fays all her prayers in French." The Salvation Army i3 spreading rapidly in Canada, and growing in favor with the people. Kven the Indians on the Grand

Lapids reserve, Ontario, are joining the army, where they have a corps of 100 red men, who meet in the council chamber by permission. It is also announced that the army intends to send a mission to the aboriginal blacks of Australia. "How are the Easter preparations getting along?'' inquired a devoted Sunday-school superintendent of one of his teachers. "Oh, beautifully. There will be some lovely coBtumes in church, and the bonnets and hats, oh my !'' "You don't understand. I mean our Easter entertainment." "Why, of course. How stupid of me. I think my class will be able to read a few selections from scripture by that time." In Washington a few days ago a little girl, hearing her mother speak of some friends as belonging to the Christian Church (the one which General Garfield attended), eagerly inquired: "Don't we belong to that church, mamma?" "No, dear, we are Episcopalians," was the unthinking answer. With a troubled look the little one heaved a long sigh as she ejaculated, "Ob, dear I did hope we were Christians." A "Church Colonization Land Society" has been organized in England. The so ciety is to Carry out, under the auspices of the Church of England, a practical system of emigration on a self-supporting and re munerative basis. A number ol lamilies will be sent out to various settlements, in which church services and church schools will be established. To a disinterested outsider it would seem that tbe scheme must fail. The mingling of religions propaandism and business ventures does not usually succeed well. Since the close ot the war between France and Germany it appears that what the French are in the habit of calling alcoholism, or, as the English-speaking people call it, dram-drinking, has been steadily on the increase among the people who inhabit the mountain regions of the Vosges. A correspondent iü Le Petit MesEager, published at Montlncon. says: "In some villages in the district of Remiremont I have counted as many cabarets as dwelling houses, and the spirits sold is of the very worst kind. Happily attempts are now being made to stay the progress of the scourge, and one of the most active workers in this very laudable crusade is M. Claude, the Senator from the Vosges." The church, it is said, has . in these regions as well as in many other parts of France ceased to lead the people. Lay interference is felt to be disinterested, and it has power accordingly. Charenton, near Paris, was tbe only place where for many years the Protestants of Paris were allowed to meet for worship. At one time it boasted of a magnificent tabernacle, or, as it was called, temple. Immense congregations were wont to assemble, and the church was served by many able divines. After the revocation of the edict of Nantes, in the reign of Louis XIV., this church and congregation shared toe tad experience of all the others throughout France, and finally the temple was destroyed. A small Protestant comniuniiy has already lingered about the place, and as the lease of the presebt meeting-house is soon about to expire, arrangements have been made to erect a new temple, in some measure worthy of the past. In response to an appeal made a short time since a sum of $3,700 was raised. Five thousand dollars more will be needed to carry out the enterprise. Ground has teen secured, and in faith that the descendents of the Huguenots who are scattered over the new world as well as over Europe, and some of whose forefathers may have worshiped at Charenton, will not be slow to come forward and bei p the work is to go on.

A STARTLING FACT. It is not commouiy known that a large proportion of the rheumatism and neuralgia extant is traceable directly to the diseased condition or imperfect action of the kidneys and liver; therefore a remedy which cures the resulting disease mast have found and smitten the first cause. Many persons using Athlophoroi for rheumatism and neuralgia have been ratprised to find that chronic disorders of the liver and kidneys have also been greatly relieved, and they have written for an explanation. The fact is that the remedy acts directly cn these organs, cleansing them from all irriuting substances and regulating their action Taken in connection with Athlophoros Pills, this is, without exception, the most valuable kidney and liver remedy in the world, and will cure a large proportion of those who hay 3 the e diseases. Mr. W. B. King, dealer in sewing mchines, corner Fifth and Columbia streets, Lafayette, Ind., savs: "Athlophoros was magical in its efiects uuon me. 1 was first taken with pains in the soles of my feet, and in a lew hours was not able to walk at ai!. Tbe rapidity witn which the disease spread over my whole system was wonderful; every bone, muscie, andioint in my whole body gave me tbe most intense pain. My arms were both drawn up; I c?uld not wtlk, tat or sleep. I suffered in this way for n ary weeks. Finslly I was induced to try Athlophoros I had taken but a few doses when I had very decided relief. I continued with it nnil I had used six bottles, and have not had a pain of rheumsiisc. since. I consider my case a miracle, 8Ld taturally feel very kindly toward Athlotboros." Every druggist should keep Athlophoros and Athlophoros Pill, but where tbv ran Let be bought of the druggist th pLorcs Company, 112 Wall street, Nt York, will send either (carriage paid) on receipt of regular price, which is finer bottle for Athlophoros and 50 cents for Pil's.
