BROOKLYN is the city Of churches and the para

pastors of Brooklyn realized fortune OF

other pastor in the same city has been more
fortunate. He has 'struck ile.' He sent
down to the oil region $4,000 by an officer OF
his church. The officer returned with $780,

for his sudden wealth he has offered to his de-
nomination $40, 900 for theological instruction,

EFFECT OF THE AMERICAN WAR
0N ENGLAND.

The late war for the Onion was a struxrl:
for the overthrow or Southern aristocracy
based on monopoly of land and despo.ic
ownership Of labor. They lie In the dust.
The asistocracy Of England felt instinciively
their Interest In the success Of the Southern
aristocracy and did their utmost to bring it
about. Eut both were beaten, and The re-
coil Is now felt throughout The British En-
pire in general breaking ont Of the old con-
Cict between the middle and lower classes
md the aristoczacy. Is our American rcvo-
luton OF 1775-'e3 reacted upon Frnncc, and
produced the great French revolution Of
ls9c, and the outbreak In Ireland Of 1895
50 the principles ol our war for thc
Union against the slayehold1ns atis-
tocracy src having their legitimate
elect In Great Britain We see It IN the
FenIan agitation, which is an ofshoot Of our
late war, md which, however misdlrected or
ignorantly guided, is the Just protest of The
Irish people against the oppression IT the
English atistocsacy in Church und Statc. We

in Manchester, Birmingham, London, and

Of Great Britain who bare no vote, and to
compel the attention OF the onc-seyenth who
larc, and Of the sixty 4'great governing
families" who hnye ruled England from time
lmmeno'ial. We see 1t in The promise Of a
Reform Liil by Earl Russell, ind in the hope
fnl endorsement Of Earl Russcl1's promise by
John Bright. We see 1t in the
bloody struggle between tho planters mud
the poorer classes Of Jnmaica, the former set
ting out With balbarisy equal to that Of our
omn Southern lords Of the 1ash, and which In
dicatce that their rclgn will be short. We

that Canada shall set up for herself, proof
that the English aristocracy hare poor pick

ariktocracy shall be aided by no external wars

around The throne against the common out

FACTS ron NEW YORK.

az ZIG a. k0e1h NuuFGuuou nelu IN Bloom.
1ngton, on Friday last, Edward Sanford, ESQ.,,
Of Morris, made speech, In which be said:
~ rad hy the market reports In this mo.a1ne's
H1oomington paper, that GOOD coal, mined within
forty miles Of here, costs 81 ton while corn Is
selling In The same market at 1s5 per to2. need
not tell yoC WHIT every farmer hers knows, that one
ton Of cot for fIel uses, viii so farther than one
ton oF cosl- Now why Is thisl II arises simply
from the impostibilitJ Of the present mesus Of
ttnnrporauou-lack Of facilities for carrying to the
great markets the products Of The Wcs, yqn sll
EEow 1t takcs tf1 to eeven bushels OF cpyl ont Of
eyciy eight TO Eel com to Europe" 80, a..
What remedy i there for this grcat evil.
The answer Is ready: Make ship canal
around Niagara Falls; enlarge the canals
around the ST. Lawrence rapids; enlarge tho
Champiain canal u tho capacity OF vessels Of
i've bundled to one thousand tons. The NJ.
agata ship canal VIII cost about Sc, ,090,Oocc
The enlargement Of the Champl.iu canal
would, cost sir to Ten millions the canal
around St. lawrence Rapids as much more.
Do this, md the cost Of transportation Will
be reduced from thirty to forty cents per
bushcl. Ono half the time Of transportation
will be also saved. The Eric canal Is three
hundred and fort five miles loug, and boats
consume thirteen days In traycrsing it's
lcngth, making but fraction oyer one mile
IN hour; whereas If NC can ship on the hikes
and through the cauals without breaking
bulk, the distance will be made at from cirlt
10 ten miles per hour. The number Of locks
to be- passed on the St. Lawrence route il
seventeen less than by the Esie canal, Will.
the length OF canals by that route Is only sev-
cnty-two miles-two hundred and seventy less
than by the Eric canal. We commend these
facts to New York.

rages has passed away, but horse thicging and
robbfng defcnceless farm houses is done under
no particular Tag. We refer to the letter

interests consulted In lending their did to the
development Of the section they traverse.
But the Mobile l. Ohio managers certainly do
not eec IT when they charge eight cents per
mile fare, and send cotton and produce In tc-
dIous roundabouts to aroid their eStortion.
