PLYMOUTH CHURCH.


Services by the Rev. William Patton.
The congregation at Plymouth church last even.
ing was not py any means large, owing probably
to the closeness OF the atmosphere. sermon was
preached by the Rev. William Patton, OF Chicago,
who took his text from Mark XIII, 34-"When Jesus
saw that he answered dlscreetly He SAID unto HIM
Thou art not far from the Kingdom OF God.r The
reverend gentleman first referred TO the occasion
which elected the Observation from the saviour In
his discussion with the Herodeans, Saducees ana
Pharisees and then proceeded to dilate upon
the classes OF men who might be repre-
scented by tho scribe 70 whom lie had addressed
the consoling words mentioned in the text. He
showed that this might represent more particularly
two classes FIRST, those VINO had sense at heart but
VINO had not yet come unto Christian life and con-
seriousness; and. secondly that IL might represent
uncOnyerted persons, bus lavorably Impressed and
tending to right decision, people who were tend

prOsDcrOQS,

The legislation Of Rudicalism to afford
'protec.ion" to capitalists is graphically
portrayed,in the following article, by the
Washington correspondent Of the Gin
.cinnati Commercial:
"Thc burthen of taxation is shifted
from the capital to the labor Of the coum-
try, and the laborer, if he does not rea-
son at heart, feels, and instinctively puts
his trust in his friends.
"a gentleman, and an old protection,
ist, just from visit to Yankee land. told
ms last night that going from the West
to the East was like passing from grave
yard to busy thoroughfare. He left
behind him a land where money was
scarce, trade dull, and general stagnation
like miasma settled ON the whole coun-
try. And he went into region alive
with work and noisy with trade-every
drop of water is turned to account, and
all night long. as the train swept on, the
skies were ilumined with glowing fur
naccs, and on every side crowded upon
him new evidence of moneyed prosper

Sixty Miles an EEOCr.-A New One
wheeled VelOCipede.

One of the most interesting fruits oi
the attention now paid to the velocipede
is new invention just made by two in
genious mechanics of this city, of which
We yesterday examined model. 1t is
4 monocyclc, or single machine, consist
ing of wheel eight feet in diameter,
with q tire some six inches in width, or
two narrow tires on its outer edges, with
two sets of spokes connecting with q
double centre, which fills the place of a
hub, the two sides Of which are some
two feet and'a half apart. The opera
tor is in the middle, and propels the
wheel by simple yet curious apparatus
in WHICH both his weight and his mus
cles are brought into play. Any more
precise description would manifestly be
out of place until the patent has been
issued. The inventors anticipate that
their machine will exceed in swiftness
every other device of the kind. They do
not think that sixty miles an hour will
be impossible.

A curious lawsuit is ON the tapis in
England. A Liverpool merchant, sud.
denly called to New York on urgent bus
mess, took cab to the steamer, and in
his haste forgot to pay the driver. On
his return three months afterward, he
found the cabman and cab just where he
had left them, sheltered by little wood
en- shed, and was met by bill for coach
fare for l,0SO hours by day ard l.OSO
hours by night. The case is still on.

Insurance Decision.

A decision was recently rendered by
the Supreme Court of Illinois, which is
of vital Importance to insurers and in
sured, touching, as it does, the right
and power Of insurance companies to
,vltiate policies. The case was that OF
the keeper of meat shop, who kept
keg of saltpetre on his premises, not
withstanding the terms written in his
policy of insurance declared that the
keeping of saltpetre should vitiate it.
1t also appeared that, on one occasion,
he sold a quantity Of saltpetre to a GUS
toner. The proof showed that it was
customary for dealers in meat to use
saltpetre in small quantities in their bus
mess. The Court held that such custom
ary use Of the article implied knowl-
edge of the fact on the part of the under
writer; and that the mere fact of use, or
keeping for use, in reasonable quantity
would not vitiate the policy. But keg
of saltpetre was, under the proofs, more
than reasonable quantity, and the fact
Of selling to a customer made the butch
er dealer in the article to such an ex-
tent as clearly to render the policy void
under its terms. .s...

Legislation for fhe wealthy.

Michigan, or that small portion of it
where the copper mines are located, has
just celebrated a jubilee, unsurpassed by
that which greeted the news of the fall
of Richmond Bells rang, steam whis-
ties blew, bonfres were kindled, cannon
fired, old enemies and old friends shook
hands, while illuminations, speeches and
uproarious sprees became the order OF
the day among population maddened
with enthusiasm. And what does the
reader imagine to be the occasion OF
such ajoyous outburst? The reception
of the news that proscriptive duty Of
three cents per pound had beenlevied on
copper. Happy community! The in.
terests of this immense country, with q
population of 34,000,000, is made tribu
tary to few square miles of territory
and few miners residing on the shores
of Lake Michigan. This is justice and
republicanism with vengeance. Who
longer doubts that ours is the best Gov.

tects its few favored children at the ex.
