THE Cleryy Of tie Present Day.
The London Times lately belched forth
its tbunders against the clergy Of the
present day, in the following terms !:
"The tone of almost all preaching is
too scholastic it deals too much with
general ideas and principles, and de.
sends too little to those details in
which the minds Of the audience are
wrapt up. The preacher speaks in a
language not understood Of the PEG.
plea language made up Of texts Of
Scripture, of scraps from our old di.
vines. and technical terms of contro.
versy, making altogether species Of
theological slang which is full Of bad
taste and bad English. -

UThe Hartford Times published
the value and extent ofthe manufactur.
ing interest in Connecticut. The Col.
Inns Company's axe factory, at Collins.
vile, is the largest of its kind in the
world. manufacturing $500 axes and
kindred tools per day. More than
one third the pins used in the country
are made at Waterbury. Half the
books publis he'd in New York are
printed on paper made in Connecticut.
and half Of the largest newspapers in
that city are supplied from Connect
cut mills. 1t is, almost to the extent
of monopoly, the land of clocks" The
greatest silk factory in the country is
that at South Manchester, and the
first cotton mill in America was put in
operation in Manchester in 1900.
