through to the Pacific must come to New York,
and the advantages of this completed road,
with the new impulse which it will give to the
peopling Of those new States and Territories,
will be felt by our New York dealers in Euro
pean dry goods and 6Vouterie.
General Grant, in his inaugural address,
refers to our Western gold and silver deposits
as furnishing ample security for the payment
of our national debt. With proper legislation
from Congress those specie deposits might
be made to pay the debt. But in nothing has
Congress been SO wasteful in its loose and
corrupt legislation as in its sQuanderings
of the public domain. In nothing has it
been so corrupty negligent of the claims of
the public Treasury as in its failure to adopt
any system of revenue from these government
mines. In the interval to the reassembling of
Congress next December (assuming that there
will be no call of an extra SESSION. we pre-
sumo that the developments of the enormous
resources of those Western mineral lands will
be such as to call the attention to them of the
President in connection with some special
recommendations for the benefit of the Trea-
sury and the taxpayers at large of the United
States, and for the encouragement and pro-
lection at the same time of the honest emf
grant and the honest miner.
Meanwhile we hail the completion of our
railway connections between New York and
San Francisco as one of the most important
events of the age, and as the herald of greater
things under wiser legislation, soon to follow.

There is official confirmation of the impor-
tant fact that the government has initiated
steps for the reduction Of the national debt.
The Secretary of the Treasury, as will be seen
in another column, has decided to receive pro-
posals for the purchase, by the Executive, of
United States bonds to the amount of one
million of dollars weekly, to be continued
until further orders. The proposals have been
made public in the terms announced in the
HERALD, and from these it will be seen that
the debt of the country has now reached a
eliminating point, from which its pressure
will be gradually relaxed by careful manage
ment. The announcement of the Secretary of
the Treasury, taken in connection with the
aspect of the affairs of the Pacific Railroad, pro-
duced furry in government stock and on
Wall street generally yesterday. After a
short time, however, the advices by the cable
from London and more calm examination of
the government plan tended to soothe the ex-
element, the different interests beginning to
understand that the national burden would be
substantially reduced, and in an increasing
ratio, yearly This feeling induced an advance
amounting to about two per cent in gold, the
operations on the street being closed with
stronger feeling of confidence in the situation.

The Fashions.

IL appears by the letter which we publish
to- day from our Paris fashions correspondent
that the balmy whiffs of spring which a few
opening days of April brought with violets
and hyacinth bells were soon exchanged for
March-like blasts and hail showers. The
ladies who yielded to the temptation to throw
Off prematurely their velvet casaques. fur
boas and quilted rotondes straightway fell
into the hands Of DR.. Gargle. Our CORES
pendent gives an account, at once amusing
and pathetic, of the sufIerngs of the Partisan
tttgdntes who made haste to adopt the latest
spring fashions. Those of our New York 6E-
gdntes who committed the same error have
been similarly punished. Until yesterday,
when bright, warm sun illuminated almost
every variety of the spring styles exhibited on
Broadway, spring styles seemed to be indefi-
nitely postponed, at least so far az walking
and carriage dresses are concerned. There
has been, however, an ample and splendid
display of them al the numerous fashionable
weddings which have lately been celebrated,
at amateur concerts in private theatres at
theatrical benefits and matinees, and at the
final Germans of the season. Preparations
are even in progress for the fashions which
are to prevail at the yearly multiplying sum
mer resorts of our citizens-at New
port, Saratoga, Long Branch and the
rest. AT all these places there will
be no lack of fashionable display this
summer, although the exorbitant charges of
hotel keepers during previous seasons have

The Second Advent.

Elder Miles Grant, of Boston, de-
livered one of his characteristic ser
mons before a large congregation at
the Mission church, 138 West Thirty
fourth street, between Sixth and
Seventh avenues. Mr.. Grant selected
for his text Revelations vi, 17-"For
the great day of His wrath is come,
and who shall be able TO stand.' Az
ter few preliminary remarks on the
general meaning of his text and the
certainty of q future judgment, Mr..
Grant said that mankind might be
divided into two classes-thOse who
could meet the second coming Of the
Lord Ito which the text referred) with
joy and love. and those to whom the
second coming would be 4 day Of sad
ness and woe, and who would seek
shelter from the wrath of the AL
mighty, and call in vain upon rocks
and hills to shelter them from the
majesty of his presence. Among the
most prominent of those who would
be unable to stand at the coming of
the Lord would be the cOvetous, and
how many would be included in that
class no man could number. In the
present day the whole of the Ten
Commandments issued by Moses from
Mount Sinai were disregarded by the
majority of the community, but there
was no sin mQEe prominent than that
of covetousness. 1t was the canker
which was eating out the heart of
society, and no eOvetOus person God
himself had declared should enter the
kingdom of heaven. SuppOsing that
a covetOus person could enter within
the gates of heaven, he would be unfit
for the society of the pure and the
good, for even there his propensities
gold with which st. John tells u the
New Jerusalem is paved.
Mr.. Grant then spoke at length of
the smaller forms of pride and covet-
business which are so prevalent in the
present day, and referred to the strong
desire evinced by tradesmen to obtain
premiums and prizes at the fairs and
exhibitions held in our large cities,
remarking that the only premium
worth the seeking after was the sal
walton of the soul-the only prize, the
crown which will be awarded to Gods
own children, who have fought well
and bravely in the great battle of life.
The drunkard, the prOfans, the adul-
terer, the lover of tobacco more than
God, would all be unable to stand at
the second coming, and would be con-
demned to eternal punishment.
In concluding, the preacher en-
Iarged upon the social and moral state
of society in regard to the crime of
adultery. He believed the world was
rapidly becoming one huge brothel,
and it beloved all good men to stand
out against the free lOveism and kin
dred denominations which were get
ting such q firm hold Of society. The
congregation were Of most sympa-
thetic character and several times
audibly expressed their appreciation
of the speakers remarks. AT the
conclusion of the service several
members of the congregation rose
and stated their religious experience
so far as it bore upon the evenings
discourse.-N. Y. Herald.

AYietim the yietov.

The Boston correspondent OF the
AdUdnce speaks thus Of the late Mr..
Z. H. Uniae:
He was a bright young Irishman
who had resided in our city only since
the war. When he came, he was all
aglOw with newly formed resolves
While a soldier in camp Convalescent,
Mr.. Cough had induced him to sign
the pledge. Soon after that, bymeans
Of Bible sent by two little children
in North Brookfield, he became con-
verted. Reformed and renewed, he
caTe north. New York had been his
home. His father, Colonel in the
British army, had left him with an am
pie fortune. When nineteen years OF
age he began the practice of the law.
He rose rapidly to distinction, and in
State for Fremont. But rum laid hold
upon him. He fell fearfully. He en-
listed for the sake of a wilder riot in
the war. Till January, 1865, he was
apparently 3 hopeless case. But his
pledge taken then was sincere. Upon
his discharge, avoiding his old haunts,
he began a new life among US. He
soon became one of the most popular
He was called hither and thither, en-
dearing himself to all whom he met.
Senator Wilson said: al came to love
him as love few of my fellow men,"
But the tempter was on his track. At
times he would have dreadful stTug-
giles with his old appetite. For days
it would almost drive him mad. Last
March, during one of these paroxysms,
a., 70, D.
He reached the hall weak from fast
ing and lack of sleep, but his nerves
were strained to preteTnatural ten
sion. A vast audience greeted him,
and for an hour and fifty-five minutes
he spoke to them with never TO be
forgotten elOquence. When he re-
turned to his lodging place he tainted
away. His host, as was most natural,
ave him some cordial. That let the
chained demon IN him tUhOlly loose
He arrived in Boston crazy with alcO-
hOl. a d5-ltlkdrd again. He did not
recover himself until June. Mean
while-ah! it is recorded in the book
Of dOOm-the liquor dealers of Boston
furnished him, for nothing, all the
liquor he would drink. They tried to
destroy him. But Uniac rallied! 1t
was grand victory, aud he did not
fall again until his death. The rumOr
has crept abroad that he died at last
in a fit of deiiriUnl trs1lens. 1 have
the most unquestionable authority for
denying the report ig1 toto.
He fought his frenzied passion till
the end. "Still struggling" is the
heroic entry scattered up and down
his diary. II would rather die than
drink another drop" he often said
He breathed his last under the infiu-
enee of the powerful Opiates that he
was forced to take. The people crowd
ed the church al his midday funeral.
The event itself was an eloquent tenn
perance lecture May it be true, that
''the dead which he slew at his death
are more than they which he slew in
his life" Oh, the sad havoc that
strong drink makes with wealth, in
tellect and lifeI None who drink can
avoid its effects.

SEAsONABLE.O ORNANIENT.-We are
informed by a lady friend who be-
lieves in the beautiful, that q very
pretty mantel ornament may be OBJ
tanned by suspending an acorn by a
piece of thread tied around it, within
half an inch of the surface of some
water contained in vase, tumbler or
saucer, and allowing it to remain un-
disturbed for several weeks. 1t will
soon burst open, and small roots will
seek the water; a straight and taper
ing stem, with beautiful, glossy, green
leaves, will shoot upward, and present
a very pleasing appearance. Chest
nut trees may be grown in this man
ner, but their leaves are not as beau
tiful as those of the oak. The water
should be changed once a month,
taking care to supply water Of the
same warmth; bits of charcoal added
to it will prevent the water from
souring. If the little leaves turn yell
low, add one drop of ammonia into
the utensiI which holds the water,
and il will renew its luxuriance.

THE CHRONICLE.
The next Census middle.

In tinkering over the Fourteenth
Amendment, the Senate and House,
anxious to get up circumlocutory
phraseOlogy, and amid the use of the
terms race, color and serVitude, have
made part of the constitution bum
gle, and the Census Committee has
Just collated curious pamphlet show
ing the insufficiency of the amend
ment to accomplish what it intended
without infringing upon State laws.
The Fourteenth Amendment, in the
second section, provides that if the
right to vote be denied to any male
inhabitant of q State q years of age,
and a citizen of the republic, except
''for rebellion or other crime" the
basis of representation of the State so
uDcharitable shall be diminished in
proportion.
Now, General Garfield shows these
curious conflicting cases in the laws
of the States, all of which will have
to be set aside if the offending State
wants her full census counted for rep
resentatiOn.
Connecticut forbids suffrage to all
who cannot read; Massachusetts to
those under go years of age, who can
not read and write.
The word white" occurs in the
laws defining voters in Illinois, 1ndi-
ana, Kansas, California, Connecticut,
Delaware, Kentucky, Michigan, Mary
land, Missouri, Nevada, New Jersey,
Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, and
West Virginia. Cinnamon are ex-
pressly excluded by Oregon; negroes
and mulattoes by Indiana and Oregon.
Now, down comes your house, under
the fourteenth Amendment.
Nearly every State has laws about
residence, contrary to the letter of
this amendment. Illinois keep peo-
pie a year on probation, before they
can become citizens snd voters. The
Census Committee must proceed 10
reduce your basis of representation
Eight of the States deny the people
derelict in taxes. Rhode Island re-
jects those who do not own $l34 worth
of real estate clear; New York those
colOIed folks who do not own S25O
worth of real estate clear.
Staid Connecticut rejects those who
Sustain a good moral character ;"
Vermont those who "are not of aquiet
anu pchCcdOlc DCudNAOAs AnAS PAO
scription must cease, or dswn comes
Connecticut to one representative.
Missouri permits no officer, soldier,
or marine in the regular army or
navy to vote.
Fifteen States reject insane people
ten, idiotic people; seven, those mon
cOnapus q7lentts," or ''of unsound
mind :" seven those under guardian
ship; and seven ''pauper !" while
South Carolina refuses to let her aims
houses vote.
Arkansas forbids those voting if dis
qualified as electors from the States
whence they came, and four States
disqualify by failure to take certain
specific Oaths.
Here is, indeed, a pickle under the
Fourteenth Amendment
