G ettysbitrg, J Qly 2. Gettysburg presents an animated ecene to-night. The houses are decorated with flags, evergreens and bunting. The streets are brilliantly illuminated and thronged with thousands of people. During the day visitors arrived on all trains, and when the Philadelphia Brigade arrived at 6 o'clock with 2,0vO more, the hotels and boarding houses overflowed and quarters were as hard to find as they were twenty-four years ago to-night. At 8 o'clock Mrs. General Pickett arrived, accompanied by her eon, and was immediately driven to the Springs Hotel. After securing quarters the Philadelphia brigade escorted by the Grand Army band of Gettysburg, marched to the Harrisbarg depot to receive their guests. At 8:15 a ringing cheer from the Philadelphia brigade, which was promptly and heartily answered by the well-known rebel yell, announced that the visitors had arrived and 200 ot Pickett's veterans marched out and surrendered themselves to the hospitalities of their friends. As the procession moved along Chambersbur street to the public tquare cheers and applause greeted it at everystep. The Confederates, who were armed with rockets, discharged them as they marched along, proudly bearing the stars and stripes in their midst, the only flag in line, and responded heartily to the greetings with their peculiar battle-yell, well known here, to the great delight of the assembled crowds. "When the procession reached Center Square, the Union and Confederate lines were drawn up facing each other. The Confederates stepped forward, saying: "Here we are once more together," "Lst us ebake hands," '"Let us trade coffee." The bends played "Way Down Siath in Dixie." Fire-works lit up the sky, and all the people cheered. At 9:35 the procession moved to the court-house, where a camp-fire was held. The doors were thrown open, and the band entered it, f cllowedjby Pickett's mea. They proceeded to the front and seated themselves in chairs. In a few minutes the building was filled to overflowing, and standing room could not be obtained. "When all was ready, General Barns assisted Mrs. General Pickett to the stand, and amid tremendous cheers which shook the building, introduced her and her son to the audience. She was visibly affected and with difficulty restrained the tears. "Whenever General Pickett's name was mentioned the cheering was tremendous. When Colonel Aylette, becoming excited and branching off somewhat from his prepared oration, mentioned the Hag of the Union, the whole audience arose and shouted itself hoarse. As soon as the President's letter was read General Berns jumped up and proposed three cheers for the President of the United States. These were given standing and with telling effect. After the reading of General Sherman's letter, W. S. Slocum arose and presented Burgess Upton, who, in a very few words, welcomed them and extended the hospitalities cf the place. Colonel Banes then asked that the town people and Philadelphia Brigade withdraw, and they then would assign Pickett's men to their quarters. Thus the firat camp-fire ever held between the blue and tha gray was over. At 9 o'clock the meetin was called to order by John W. Frazier. who said: "Ladies, Comrades ako Feiexds The high honor ol calling taia meeting to order has been assigned to me. Tns is, as yon all know, the lirst fraternal meeting of the blu9 and the gray that has taken place on these historic grounds, and standmg beside the last rasting place of the bouorei dead who here give th9 last fail mfasure cf their devotion to the Ution, I say to yon tht taae fraternal meetings of the blue and sray will do mora to create and maintain a sincere and lasting fallowäbip amoag the people of the whole nation than anything else that has taken place since tbe war for the preservation cf the Union ended, and I hope to see them, as I believe they will be, held all along tbe line from Gettysburg to Vicksburg. I now have the pleasure of presenting Comrade W. S. Stockton as the preaidicg cfiijer of this meeting, with the statement that to him, more than to any other, is due the credit of bringing it about.'' Mr. Stockton, upon ajsumiTjg thecha'rruassLip, said that be 'hanked his onrades for the honor conferred upon him, and ha would take occasion simply to remark that he believed what w3 do le and said here upon this fraternal gathering of the blue and gray would mark a new and gratifying era inur country's history. As presiding oiicer it was a pleaiant duty to present Colonel Charles II. Banes, prrsTdent of the Pnilalelphia Brigade Association, who would extend a soldier's welcome to foes In war, but warm, devoted and lasting friends In peace. Colonel Banes stepped forward aid said: "Fellow citizens and members of Pickett's Division of the Army of Northern Virginia An honorable and pleasing duty has been assigned to me by tbe Philadelphia Brigade of tbe Second Divisron, Second Corps, Army of the PjtDmac. This veteran brigade, composed of the Sixty-ninth, Seventy-first, Seventy-second and One Hundred and Sixth regiments, Pennsylvania volunteers, upon more than one occasion darlag the dark hours of tbe republic encountered your people in active warfare, and it fell to our lot to meet In hostile array and deadly conflict in what may be truly Cilled the crisis of the battle of Gettysburg, within the sight of tbe masses of both armies on that memorable afternoon of July 3, 1303. The old issues are dead and new ones confront ua. We, who have fought as the bine and the gray, can discuss the past, if need, in the light of the present, as travelers who, after perilous journeys and conSicta by the way, sit down on the mountain top acd review the scenes through w'iicü they have passed, and the dangers of the roal over which they have journeyed. "We welcome yoa to this historic fld and its memories with true soldierly greeting. In the performance of this duty we wo aid fall to honorably acquit ourselves did we rot announce to you that the rpontaneous movement of the Philadelphia Brigade in the tender of this reception has the cordial and practical support ot our citizens of all classes and pursuits of life. And now it remains for me to say to you, the men of Pickett' Division, by authority of this brigade association and its friends, that we desire that you will honor us, during your stay at Gettysburg, by becoming our guefits. We welcome yoa because you were brave soldiers In war; we welcome you because you are true citizens In peac, and may our stay here be one Of pleasure to each of, us and of fraternal greeting that ihall ruide us to higher reeolfcs for the perpetuity of the Constitu

tion acd the Union, to the manly deter ruination as citizens to meet conscientiously and in the fear of God the questions and issues of the hour, and to such an abiding faith in the magnificent destiny of the Republic as will lead each of us to trust that Almighty Beicg who ipoke from the cloud and the pillar of fire to the leader of Israel, saying, 'Speak to the children of Israel that they go forward,' and who today is calling us by his providence to higher and nobler achievements In the cause of humanity and the government of the people." Upon behalf of Pickett's veterans, Captain C. P. Keeve, of Richmond, tbe commander of Pickett's Division Association, responded as follows: ''Friends and comrades I desire for myeelf and comrades to tender you our heartfelt thanks for the kind, cordial and hearty welcome extended to ns on this, an occasion never to be forgotton by us, but cherished and remembered as a bright spot in the checkered pathway of life. If in the remarks which I desire to make on a subject of which I have thoaght muca and felt deeply I should be led to say bo me things which might be better left unsaid, attribute them to the warmth of my feelings on the subject; bear in mind that I am speaking in no representative capacity, but am eolely responsible for the sentiments I utter. Perhaps some of you have seen an article in the New York Herald on the subject of a Union monument to be erected on the epot selected by Hancock and Pickett's divisions, which should be national in its character, not commemorative of any particular division of either army, bat to the memory of tbe dead of both armies. A monument of American valor and magnauiaity, a monument which would stand as a pledge of perpetual union, seeing us united in doing honor to our dead; ap:ede of perpetual reconciliation a mizpih stone; its thaft pointing upward, calling upon heaven to witness our reconciliation and renewed covenant that neither of us would ever pass it to harm tbe ether, and eajing, in the language of scripture, 'The Lord watch between thou and ua.' And what shall I say for those, my comrades, endeared by privations shared, hardships endured and dangers encounter d? Scarcely Is there a battle field from Bull Bun to Appomattox on which eome dear to me did not crown with their lives their devotion to their native State. Dear comrades, honored as men, loved as companions, cold in death will my heart be ere I cease to love and honor you, yet my heart is large enough to embrace my whole county, from the Atlautic to the Pacific, from the lakes to the gulf, to rejoice in her prosperity, to glory In her greatness, to feel a thrill of pride when her course is as glorious as her might is resistless, when her magnanimity equals her power. And to you, gentlemen of Gettysburg, let me say this is an opportunity to display a magnanimity worthy of this great nation. Leave to time the touch-stone which tries all human action, the question of right and wrong involved; let the luture historian, probably yet unborn, try the cause; and posterity will render a verdict which is apt to be

just. To them let us leave It Its deeds have been done, its drama closed, but for onr country there remains a future. We, too, are making history. If this occasion, being in the interest of peace and reconciliation, will fill a bright page in that history, with what luster would that one shine which would record a similar reunion, national in its character, in which should be buried all rancor and hatred, from which we could go forth, not merely as citizens, but as friends and brothers, animated by one aim the greatness and glory of cur common country. Adopt, in its true spirit, the union monument suggested, and, with a magnanimity broad enough to embrace our whole country, deep enough to bury in oblivion the bitternesss and.hate of past strife, build on the spot a monument to immortaliza American valor and demonstrate American Bragnanimity. Let the whole country join with the National Government and every State in the Union. Complete it, if possible, by the twenty-fifth anniversary of the battle. Send out your invitations, and, my word for it. Gettysburg will witness such a gathering as the whole world has seldom seen. Its hills and valleys dotted with white tents, not filled with angry combatants ready to hurl each other to destruction, but with the highest type of American manhood, ready to join hands in a true and hearty reconciliation, which shall maka us again a united and happy people. Do this and write the name of America higher on the roll of true fame than yon could have done had you been able to wr:te yourselves victorious on every battle-field ot the war. I can not but believe that this suggestion will commend itself to the good men everywhere in our broad land, and if properly carried out will do more to restore true friendship in these sections than any other one thing which could be done. Let us, my countrymen, embrace the opportunity and make one page in American history which shall shine with a luster unsurpassed by any recorded since the world began." Upon the concfusion of Captain Reeve's speech Colonel Banes introdaced Caloael Alezander K. McClure, of Philadelphia, who bad been chosen to extend a welcome from the citizens of Philadelphia particulaily and from the State of Pennsylvania generally, to the Virginian?. In concluding his addrees Colonel McUlure said: "I creet ycu in the name of the great North, now Inseparably interwoven with the crjat South in sympathy, in interest, and In fellowship. Free government is stronger at home and migatier abroad to-day because of the wounds of civil war, and our children and our chi.'dren'8 children will turn to its sacrifice?, its sorrows and its Irrevocable judgments as the surest guarantee that 'Government of tbe people, by the people, and for tbe people shall not perish from the earth.' " Colonel William P.. Aylette, who succeeded General Armistead as commaider of the brigade upon the death of Armistead, having been cbosen to respond on behalf of the State of Virginia to Pennsylvania's welcome, said : Itot only do we receive and snail ever treasure the noble rentiments ot Colonel McClure as the voice of Pennsylvania and her chief city, but also of those brave Ecn who met ns here twenty -four years ago With a valor that we could not overcame, and who meet us here to night with a lovirg welcome so dear to ns and to our people. Not only do we cherish the sentiments bo nobly expressed, 83 warm and true from the hearts of our brethren of the North, but remembering the avocation and profession of the gifted speakers, we hear in loud tones the voice of the great American press that power mightier than armies or native?, mightier than the swords and sceptres of kings on whose supporting arm the Goddess of Liberty leans, and whose daily utterances proclaim that peace, friendship and love once more bind the American people with the golden bands of indissoluble and perpetual union. "Yes. my countrymen, tbe press and the brave, generous soldiers of our land have brought this night and these scenes to pass. All honor and love to both." Among other sentences uttered by Colonel Aylette were these: "I utter it as a sentiment that comes welling up from every bosom of Virginia and the South, that the man who would rekindle again that feeling which filled our land with death and tears and grief and mourning, with graves and suHerlng, is not only unworthy of the high title of American citizen, but even of that of human beinz, and should find no home or friends on earth or in heaven. There is not a true man at the South to-day but who feels as if be would like to stand at the tomb of Lincoln and Grant, to plant a fljwer there and to . water it with a manly tear. In the presence of a feeling like this, too r acred and deep for utterance, what matters It who shall keep the battle-flags? They paswi into your

Lands in brave and manly combat, untouched by dishonor, after a baptism in bloed that made the giay jacket a mantle of glory, and we are as willing your people should keep them as ours. 'ihey are in the hands of our Government and Drethren to whom our honor should be as dear as their own. Never aqain will our old battle-flags wave in strife. They have gone down forever, but they went down in glory and in honor. They are dead, and we love and follow alone cow the living tlag, which floats from Key West to Behring Straits, from Bunker lliil to San Francisco." Speeches were slso made by General .W. F. (Baldy) Smith, General Joshua T. Owea, Gtneral Isaac P. Wistar, Colonel John H. Tfggirt and ethers for the blue, and Colonel Charles T. Lohr, secretary of Pickett's division association ; Colonel J. F. Crocker, Color el Robert M. Stribea, Dr. J. A. Marshal, Colonel Tindleum Smith, Colonel Kirk Otey and others on behalf of the gray. John W. Frazier, secretary of the Committee of Arrangements, stated that letters Of regret had been received from the President and his Cabinet, fnm Benator Sherman, Governor Fitz Hngh Lee, Hon. Edwin M. Filler, Mayor of Philadelphia; General Louis Wagner, Hon. George W. Childs, George William Curtis, Charles A. Dana.GeneralD.il. Hastings, AdjutantGeneral of Pennsylvania; Gibson Peacock and others. Tbe President's letter was read. It was as follows: "Executive Mansion. ) "Washington, D. C, June VI. 18S7. J "I have received your invitation to attend, as a guest of the Philadelphia Brigade, a reunion of ex-Contederate soldiers of Pickett's Division who survived their terrible charge at

Gettysburg, and those of the Union army still livine by whom it was heroically resisted. The fraternal meeting ot these soldiers upon the battlefield where, twenty-four years ago, in deadly fray they fiercely sought each other's lives, where they saw their comrades fall, and where all their thoughts were of vengeance and destruction, will illustrate the general impulse of brave men and tbeir honest desire for peace and reconciliation. "The friendly assault there to be made will be rtsistless, because inspired by American chivalry; and its results will be glorious, becanse conquered hearts will be its trophies of success. Thereafter this battlefield will be consecrated by a victory which shall presage the end of the bitterness of strife, the exposure of the sincerity which conceals hatred by professions of kindness, the condemnation of frenzied appeals to passion for unworthy purpose?, and the beating down of all that stands in the way of the destiny of our united couatry. While those who fought and who hare so much to forgive lead in tbe pleasant ways of peace, how wicked appear the traffic in sectional hale and 'the betrayal of patriotic sentiment. It surely can not be wong to desire the settled quiet which lights for our entire country the path to prosperity and greatness; nor need tbe lessons of the war be forgotten, and its results jeopardized in the wish for that genuine fraternity which inspires national pride and glory. I should be very glad to accept your invitation and be with yoa at this interesting reunion, but other arrangements already made and my official duties here will prevent my doing eo. "Hoping that the occasion will be as successful and usefol as its promoters can desire, I am yours very truly, "Gkoter Cleveland."

J When the venerable editor, printer, publicist, politician, philanthropist, lay on his dying bed in the second-floor back in his pleasant house on Twelfth street, New York City, his daughter, ever by his side, was asked into the hall to see a caller. "Who was it?" asked the vigilant old man. "Only a young man," said his daughter; "it is time for you to take your medicine again." "What young man?" whispered Mr. Weed. "A yonng man from the World. Have you any appetite, father?'' "What did he want?" ' 0, he bothered me with all sorts of questions. Come, now, you must keep still, father." "See here! You are keeping something from me," spoke up the distinguished invalid: "he wanted help to write my obituary, didn't he?" "Yes! That's what he wanted!" and like a good daughter she gave way to a flood of tears. "Bring him back! Send for him!" gaspei the süßerer. James, the colored boy. was dispatched, and the World reporter was overtaken and brought back. He looked rather embarrassed when he was led to the sick man's chamber and marched up to the side of the bed. "Well," said Mr. Y"eed, his face expressing an appreciation of the fun of the situa tion, "what is It?" The youth stammered deprecatingly, and finally asked if be had anything to add to wbat was known of Morgan. "Look here, young man?'' said the venerable editor, "be frank, and speak op.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK.

GeEeril Reporte cf Trade Are, Almcst Willcut Exception, Satisfactory. Money In Reasonable 8 apply at All Interior Points and Collections Fair Business Failures. New York. July 1 II. 0. Dan &. Co in their weekly review of trade say: Tbe week has been one of satisfactory business for the season, but ot unusaal disturbance in speculation. Liquidation has reached tbe stock market. A week ago, even while this review was being written, sharp attacks began. The recovery was especially rapid, but hesitation In prices this week, notwithstanding very favorable reports of earnings, indicates that the proces3 of liquidation may not in all directions have bien completed. At their lowest stocks were down to their level of January last, as their highest in Hay had accurately corresponded with their highest average before the break in December. A corner in June wheat at New York has succeeded as completely as the Chicago corner failed, and tbe prices made haye been so palpably artificial that Jane delivery sold, on the last day of the month, 22) cents above the same erade for July. Nominally cash wheat fell 21 cents on Friday, though the actual price for other uses than the settlement of speculative contracts was not abov6 SG3 cents on Thursday and &5Z on Friday. The Chicago market has beeu quiet, with eastward shipments of 3,000 000 bushels crowding lake lines to their fall capacity. The Jane exports have been large, but the stock carried over to the new crop year will not fall much below 50,OOO.GOO bushels in excess of the minimum, and the crop reports are generally favorable, though prolonged drought in some parts of the Northwest causes apprehension and may lessen the yield. From Omaha and some other points come reports that real estate excitement has abated, though prices are maintained and large sums are being expended in building. It was estimated some weeks ago, from returns at New York, where the proportions of new buildings in five months has been 4.41 percent, to the assessed valuation ot real estate, that the sum thus invested throughout the country must be very large. Official returns for five months from thirty-iive cities, of all tizes, and in various parts of the country, new show that the valae of new buildings in that time was 4 12 per cent, of the assessed valuation of all real estate there in 180, and the transfers of property were IS per cent, at all points, against 14 percent, at New York. These figures would point to an expenditure in building of i,300,000,000 if the same activity would last through the year, and to transfers of $1,300 000,000. It need net be adaed tbat reaction and diminished activity in this direction are to be expected. Available has been turned into fixed capital largely in railroad building, though returns disappoint those who expected a larger mileage completed this year than in 1882. 8o far the mileage is 500 above that of last year to date, but about 300 miles below tbe completed work to date in 1SS0, 18S1 or 18S3, and 2.500 below the record of 1882 May and June returns exceed last year's but little. Bat the new securities listed at the Stock Exchange this year already exceed $132 000,000 stock and $133,000,000 bonds, which in part accounts for the hesitation in prices. General reports are almost without exception satisfactory, trade being good for tbe time of year, collections fair or better, and money in reasonable supply at all interior points. The disasters at Chicago and Cincinnati seem to had little e3ect elsewhere. A most encouraging feature is the settlement as to wages in the iron manufacture on a 10 per cent, advance, and tbe doting of the builders' strike at Chicago, the shoe-makers' strike in Massachusetts, and the ore handlers' strike at Cleveland,. The coke strike still keeps some furnaces idle, and stocks of iron west of the mountains are thought to have fallen from 194,073 tons May 1 to IjO.OOO tons. An advance in August is hoped for, and old rails have risen the past week. The coal output for the half year will exceed by 1,W)0 tons the largest previous output, and an advance in prices is again predicted. In most other branches of trade the con dition is reported satisfactory for the season. Monetary anxieties continue, however. The bank surplus has never been as low at this time of any previous year, and the Treasury has taken in $1.800,000 in gold, while putting oat 11,400,000 currency. The heaviest withdrawal of bank bonds ever r ported on a single day naturally attends the maturing of the last call for 3 per cents, and Treasury officials are disappointed because new deposits for circulation reach only $1,000,000. The one open supply of money is the London market, but recent events have caused some sales of stocks on foreign account, and merchandise exports from New York fall 8 per cent, below, while imports rise It! per cent, above those of last year for June. Disbursements for interests and dividends this month, however, are estimated at $69.000 000. The business failures during the last seven days number for the United States 155, for Canada 2G; total 181, compared with 107 last week, and for the corresponding week last year 170 HOW SUMNER WAS STRICKEN. Sketch of an Event that Startled the Kation. Century. On the 221 of May, two days after the speech in which Charles Bumner had excoriated Senator Butler, nncle of Representative Preston 8. Brooks, Brooks entered the Senate chamber. The seats were arranged in semi-circles, with a railing to separate them from a narrow lobby or open Bpace nct the wall; a broad aisle ran from tne main door to the desk of the presiding ofticer. Mr. Sumner's seat was in the outside row next to the railing, at the tecond desk to the right from the entrance and the main aisle. Occupied with his work, Mr. Sumner did not notice Mr. Brooks sitting across the aisle to his left, and where in conversation with a friend he was manifesting his impatience that a lady seated near Mr. Bumner did not take her departure from the chamber. Almost at that moment she prooaoiy arose ana went out, for quickly afterward Brooks got up and advanced to the front of Sumner's desk. The fact attracted the attention of Brooks' friend; be was astonished, amid the bitterness of party feeling, to see a South Carolina Representative Ulk to a Massachusetts Senator. His astonishment was quickly corrected. Leaning upon tbe desk and addressing Bumner with a rap.d sentence or two to the effect that he had read his speech, that It was a libel upon his absent relative, and that he had come to punish him for it, BrooksTbegaa striking htm on the bead with a gutta-percha walklngcane of the ordinary length and about an inch in diameter. Surprised, blinded, and stunned by the blows. Sumner's first instinct was to grapple with his assailant. This effort, however, was futile; the deek was between them, and, being by his sitting posture partially under it, Bumner was prevented from rising fully to bis feet until be had by main strenghtb, in his straggles, wrenched it from its fastenings on the floor. In hi attempt to follow Brooks they becime turned, and trom between the desks moved out into the main aisle. By this time, tbrongh the repetition ot the heavy blws and loss of blood, Sanmer became anion scions. Brooks, seizing him by the collar, continued his murderous attack till Simner. reeling: in utter heln'aa . k ppoa the floor, beside th; desk nearest the

aisle, one row nearer the center ot the chamber than his own. The witnesses variously estimated the number of blow given at from ten to thirty. Two principal wounds, two inches long and an inch deep, had been cut on the back of Sumaar's bead, and near the end of the attack Brook's cane was shivered to splinters. There were perhaps ten or fifteen persons in the chamber, and. after the lirst momentary pause of astonishment, half a dozen started to interfere. Before they reached the spot, however, Mr. Keitt, another South Carolina member of Congress, carr.e rushing down the main aisle braudishiss his cane, and with irnprecatijnj warning lookers-on to "let him alone." Among those hastening to the rescue Mr. Morgan anived first, jast in time to catch and sustain the Senator as he fell. Another bystander, who had run around outside the railing, seized Brooks by the arm about the same instant, and the wounded man was borne to an adjoining room, where be was cared for by a hastily-summoned pbyEician.

Edinburgh is probably the most Tresbyterian city in the world. Oat of its 181 churches not fewer than 121 are Presbyterian. The Presbyterian General Assembly resolved to raise darlDg this centennial year the sum of $1,000.000 tut a permanent fund for the Board of Ministerial Relief. A great many men don't go to church on Sunday becanse they do not feel at ease when they get there. Perhaps if side doors were provided for them they would feel at heme.

There are ZCi days of fastiDg or abstinence in the üuzeian church year, and they are kept as a rnle by the working class. The Advent fast "is kept very strictly. A Catholic paper predicts that a thousand new Catholic schools will dot the American landscape before the close of 1337, and that 200,000 children will make their abode in them. A Sunday-school teacher asked a little girl of her class if she had been baptized. "Yes." eaid the little girl, "two times " "Two times! Why how could that be?" "It didn't lake tbe first time," said the little girl. "Let us dine together," said the native King to the missionary. "With great pleaiure," replied the good man; "but I must be host." "I have planned it diUerently," laid the King, with a bleak light in his eye; "you shall be the dinner." The South Congregational Church at Concord, N. IL, has extended a call to Rev. Harlan P.

"Why, it says here, 'and the earns John had his raiment of camel's hair and a leather griddle about his loins, end his meal was locusts and wild honey.' Ob, I see! To cook his locusts on." And away she went to Sunday-school. There are in the diocese of Cleveland five congregations composed almost exclusively of farmers who went into the woods and have cut out for themselves homes, comfort, acd in many cases wealth, thus settling that whole section with a fixed Catholic population. At his recent vbitation Bishop Gilmour urged the youa people to Btick to their lands and avoid the vices and temptations of towns and cities. The oldest Catholic Church records in the United States, unbroken from the beginning to the presant day, are those of St. Äoguätine, Fla., dating from 1505. The register of old St, Joseph's Church, in Philadelphia, begins in 1758; that of St. Mary's, of the same city, 1765; St. Marv's, of Lancaster, Pa., has a register datiag from 1787. The oldest register known tJ exist is that of Siena, Italy, which begins in 1379. The question of divorce has becomd one of peculiar interest and importance in Switzerland, where divorces have became numerous. In ten years, according to a calculation just made public. 9,002 couples have been divorced, making an average for the whole country of 208 per 1.000. The evil complained of is general, but it is more pronounced in the Protestant than in the Catholic cantons. Reactionary legislation is under discussion. The statistics of the growth of the Enlish Church and of the good deeds done by churchmen during the fifty years' reign of Queen Victoria are thus summarized: A carefnlly drawn up table shows that 6,000 churches and places of worship have been built as against 3,900 by all outside religious denominations put together. The home episcopate has been increased by seven new dioceses and the colonial by sixty-two. Within tbe last twenty-five years $405 000,000 bas been freely and voluntarily subscribed for church purposes, and $110,000,000 for the purpose of elementary education in voluntary schools all under the oversight and government of the church. The week commencing August has been set apart by the Southern Metho3ists as a week of prayer, and now comes a brother who proposes that along with prayer the church practice abstinenceabstinence from the use of tohacco and that the proceeds of the economy be collected into a general fund and appropriated to the Cuse of general missions. The suggestion is a novel one, and if carried out could do no possible harm, while on the ottier Land it would do a great deal of good if tbe money raised was appropriated to tome work to the cause of education and moral training. It is to be hoped that tbe movement will betaken hold of with and that the results may be the best. Bisho" Tutor's little band of missionaxlts is making steady progress la its march

across 5. fries. The letters ssnt home are as full of interesting incidents as II iz:ir i'a story of tbe search for "King Sjlonon's Mines." Yet time and distance ars for these missionaries shattered by molern science. A telegraph is to be placed a'ong tbe Congo rout, and about tbe same time that this will be put up tbe little steamer for navigating the Congo Kiver is expected by tbe bishop. The steamer will be sipplied with apparatus for throwing astrea-n of water on the belligerent natives. There will alio be an electric light on the boat, and la time this a!sa will be intrcduced into the mis!oa stations of tae Afiican wilderness. Thus doubly armed ith the gospel and with the magic of modern scientific invention the missionary hopes to complete a chain of mission stations completely across the heart of tie cark continent. Ttiis bard-working Methodist missionary is accomplishing more than the wildest dreams of aay romancer ever fancied with his mythical adventurers. He has called for a new band of earnest Chiistian workers to go out to him in the fall, and farmers, builders, or ms i with a trade are doubly useful in tb.ii nav country. SURVIVED THE FLAMES.

Thrilling P.ecital by the Slate of tin (11 Fated Steamer Champlaln. (Chicago News. J " The propeller Lawrence, of the Northern Michigan Line, arrived in Chicago erly yesterday morning, brineinga part of the tuiviving passengers and crew of the illfated boat Champiain, the twin propeller of the Lawrence. It will be rt-membered the Champiain left this port the evening of Jane 11, bound fcr Northern Michigan ports, carrying a full list of passengers and crew and loaded with gentral merchandise, and that about midtight, Jane 10, a fire broke fat in the erpii.e room, spreading so rapidly and at soch a high rate of speed that life boats could i ot be lanccbed or the engine room rrscbid to r vfrse the engines; that all on board wre forced to either jump into the watr or retrain arjd be burned to death, Laie developments thaw that nearly a sore of t eoj-le lost their lives in tbe catastrophe either from exbausticn or drowning. Among the passengers on the Ltwrence who arrived to-day was First Mate Ir Bishop, of the Champiain. Mr. B:shop ha i a most desperate fight with fire and water before he reached land in safety. "I waj in my room," said Mr. Bishop, "at ths time the first alarm was sounded, but not asleep. There had been considerable noise on deck for a minute cr two before the first alarm of fire was sounded, and it had awakened me. My several years of experience on tbe lakes satisfied me that all was not right before I knew we were a-fire. "Putticg on a few ciothes as soon as possible, I rushed out just in time to meet the er gineer, who had jumped Into the water tank to extinguish bis clothing, which was all ablaze. On going to the" eneiae room the flames had gained such he id wiy that no one would have dared to enter again. By this time every one was hurrying forward and aft, and the most heartrending cries were heard from every quarter. The boat was running about ten and a half miles an hour before the wind, aid the sea was very high. It was impossible to launch a boat, and everv second was bocoming more critical. Tbe most vivid mind could hardly describe that terrible night It seems like a dream as I look back on it now. "After rendering all the assistance possible toward launching boat?, we tarned oar attention to the gang-planks and fenders. The brisk wind was now fanning t!ie games into our faces, and there was great danger in remaining aboard a minute longer. I put on a life-preserver and wrenched my cabin door off, jumping into the lake with them. "Tuen came such scenes of horror and suffering tbat even now I shudder to speak of iL It was a very dark night, and we were over a mile from shore. Pieces of timber, flying embers and repeated cries for help were seen and heard on every side. I started for shore neck deep in the water, and by daylight succeeded in reaching dry land, thoroughly benumbed and exhausted with the cold. It was a trying time for a strong, sturdy man like myseif ; how any woman could remain in those cold waters for an hour, even, 13 more than I can .comprehend. "Great credit is due to Captiin Hansen, of the schooner Kacine, who succeeded in saving many lives that would have been lost but for his timely assistance end that of his eallant crew. I have often heard of the great hnmanity of people on ehore in snch cases, bu' the kindness of those who came from Charlevoix that morning was of a nature to make a strong mai weep. Every possible kindness and a33istanee was shown us, and I will never forget it." Word was received here yesterday that tie two bodies found in the lake yesterday near Charlevoix. Minn., have been identified es those of Mrs. Michael Keougb, of Chicago, and the remaining daughter of Steward Leßoe. Mr. LeBoe lost his entire family by the catastrophe a wife and two daughters, Ella and Agnes. Mr. Keougn, who is a resident of this city and dr.ng business on Halsted street, is now at Charlevoix, where his wife's body was found in the water six miles from the shore. Dr Hitchcock was the John Wycüfle of the Congregational Church. Dr. Hopkins was the Thomas Arnold of America. Of these two characters, Mark Hopkins was tbe more familiar to tbe country. His name was identified with Williams College, without interruption, dnring fifty-six years of continuous service, while Or. Hitchcock was professor of church history in the Union Theological Seminary since 1S35. Congregationalism has lost its Ne9tor ia Hopkins. Presbyterian ism has lost its ablest teacher and preacher in Hitchcock. To the collective body of churches called evangelical, the strength of these men was a great defense, just as the life of each was a shining example of the reality ot religiom Brooklyn Kiglw.
