GOVERNOR HoTFIAN's FINANCIAL YHws.
1t Is subject Of remark among politicians
here that Governor Hoffman, In his recent
message to the New York Legislature, in
abiding to the subject Of the national
finances, adopts as his own the Ideas Of
Senator Morton, In precisely the same form
and classification Rs pronounced In the lat
ter'S speech In the Senate early last winter.
Governor Hoffman not only opposes the
contraction Of the currency, but objects to
tho withdrawal Of greenbacks from elrcula-
tion until they become Of par value, when
the coin that 10 paid out for such portion OF
the Ereenbacks As may be presented for re-
demptl0n, will take the place Of those re.
deemed, aud the volume ofthe currency will
not be diminished. These are precisely the
VleWs OF Senator Morton, which may be
found In his speech delivered In the Senate
In December, 1888, Upon examination Of
the two documents II Is found that the
plagiarism ls general and complete, not only
10 IDEAS bot In wOrdsi aud all who have eK-
Rmined the subject declare that Governor
Hoffman must have had NOrton's speech

R0si0n Choir Manners.

The Christian Radical, published
at Pitisburg, Pa. is very much exer-
cised over the way some of the Bos-
ton choirs conduct themselves. It
seems that Rev. T. A. Noble, tai
ent9d clergyman of that city, recently
supplied the pulpit of one of the
Boston Orthodox churches, and at
che close Of his sermon gave out, as
usual, hymn to be sung, and read
two verses of it, when, lol it was
found that choir and organist had
disappeared, and the singing had to
be omitted. The Radical evidently
does not approve of this course. and
it gives vent to its indignation in the
following terms:
I'VE say shame, therefore, to a
choir and to o church lordcd over By
a choir even though it be in Boston,
that have neither the brains nor the
breeding to appreciate an earnest,
eloquent and apprehending preacher.
Breedingl Well, not long ago we
had q Boston preacher down here.
who preached IN Brother Mobiles
Church, aud kept on his kid gloves
while he preached, aud his sermon
was neither luminous nor muscular,
and yet the choir did not run away,
nor did the church behayo unseemly.
Ii the preaching did not rise to any
very high levels, the choir at least
had some self respect"
This reminds the Boston journal
Gas President LincoIo used to say
Of little story" A year or two ago
the eloquent DR.. McCosh preached in
the same pulpit alluded to above.
The quartettc choir sang the opening
piece in the most finished and artistic
style-so artistic that neither minister
or people could understand one word
of what was sung. When it was end
ed the Doctor waited q moment as if
he expected the applause to come in,
but as it did not, lie rose and gravely
said, And aol0 zoe loiH commence the
soorshtp of God IN the use of the 27th
hymn"
There is no doubt that 10 many
churches there needs to be a great
reform in the matter of music. In
some cases it costs more than the
preaching. and is better fitted for the
opera house than the church. lie
must be very discriminating man,
and man Of very feryent imagina-
ton, who can discover any element
of worship or praise in it. We shall
be glal to see the day when the pres
ent style Of church music shall give
place to real worship, and when all
the people shall with one voice and
heart unite in the praises of the
sanctuary. F

A Coop CORRESPONDENTS
Newburyport Herald has the follow
ing appreciative notice Of Mr.. Ed
ward King, the foreign correspondent
of the Boston Jou nal, whose inter-
esting letters we have been publish
ing:
One of the best war correspondents
now abroad is II. K.-Edward King
-of the Boston Journal. When on
ly nineteen, Ia 1867, he went to Paris
as Exposition correspondent of the
Springfield Republican, and remained
there most of the year, making him
self very familiar with that wonder
full city. He also visited Switzerland,
Germany and Italy. On his return
he published volume. My Paris. y
which was highly commended, and
deserved it. He did not, like most
travellers, copy from the guide books,
but gave his own experience and OBJ
servati0us with a freshness of style
and facility of expression which few
writers possess.
A year ago he went abroad a second
time as correspondent Of the the
Journal. and has. been in Paris most
of the time since, but has just gone to
Germany. from which his last letters
were dated on the Rhine, which is to
be the battle ground. as it has so often
been in the past. Quick in his obser
vations. well informed, thorough
French scholar-an indispensable
requisite for a correspondent, yet pos
sessed by few Americans-the Jour
nal is peculiarly fortunate In having
such a representative abroad at time
when all are anxious to have direct
and reliable information.

tack by the Prussian force which sur
prised the French by suddenly ap-
pearing on the west bahk of the Mo
selle, when all the Prussians were be-
lieved to be on the right bank. Ac-
cording to the Emperor Napoleon,
this attack was made Just as half of the
French army had got across the river.
de says 1t was repulsed after four
hours lighting, but he does not deny
that be prevented the rear of
his army from crossing the river
and forced it back within the lines of
Metz. The battle of Monday evident
ly began with an effort of the troops,
thus crowded back into Metz the pre-
ceding day, to get out and cross the
river so as to join the main French
army. This effort was foiled, and the
French were again pressed back with
in their Notifications. Thus the op
Grafton upon McMahon was success
fully repeated at Metz, aud the
French army is again divided 10 two
and its parts prevented from uniting
again.
While these successive defeats ut
terIy destroy the prestige of the
French Generals aud break down the
spirit of soldiers and people, and
while revolution Is constantly threat
ened 10 every part of France not oc-
cupied by the Prussians. the Govern
ment makes frantic efforts TO send
forward Teinforcements, but the Prus-
SLAMS give them no opportunity to or
ganizs the new levies so as to make
them effective. Marching with ex-
traordinary rapidity, they do not
allow their antagonists even to
breathe or to turn around. The
Prussian reinforcements, too, are
on the spot, as if by magic.
pouring down into Lorraine like
some mighty inroad of their Gothic
ancestors of old. Already, too, we
hear of new German army, one
hundred thousand strong, which has
crossed the Rhine at MuhlhauSen,
and has its advance at Besancon,
marching upon Paris from the east
The French army is not only without
competent Generals: it not only has
fewer soldiers than the people have
been made to believe. but it has not
even an honest and efficient commits
sariat. Food is often not to be had,
and ammunition is not properly sup
