ENLARGEMENT OF THE BROOM FACTORY
AT this time when there is so much said about
the increase of manufacturing in our city, it
gives us real satisfaction to mention that Messrs
Redlon s. Sims, an excellent firm by the way
who hav3 been pursuing the even tenor of their
way in the manufacture of so important an ar
ticle as corn brooms, have outgrown their shops
on Preble street, and have leased the large
Thompson block, on Middle street, opposite
Deer street. They have hitherto been obliged
to lease great amount of storage room on
Commercial street, which will now be unnec-
essary, as the Thompson block is amply large
enough for all their purposes. Messrs. Redlon
& Sims are reliable and enterprising firm, and
we wish them success in the enlargement OF
this business for their brooms "sweep clean.'

BISHOP CAMPBELL j. P. Camp
bell, OF Philadelphia, one of the Bishops of the
African Methodist Episcopal church, delivered
an eloquent sermon at the Mouutfort street
church last evening. The text was taken from
Isaiah 12:3-'Therefore with joy, shall We draw
water out of the wells of salvation"
The Bishop commenced by saying that the
theme presented in the text was the nature and
power of the gospel. And first, the gospel is
compared to water because of its cleansing and
purifying influences The believer is thor ugh-
ly cleansed from slr sin and iniquity BY its pur-
flying tendencies. The gospel is also compar-
ed to water because it is absolutely essential
to life. As pure water is necessary to sustain
physical life, so is the gospel of Christ necessa-
~ TO sustain the immortal life of the soul. The
wells of salvation are the proper use Of oil the
various means of grace that lie within our
power. But the principal fountain from which
we may draw the water of life, is the Lord Je-
sus Christ. Because from him, proceeds all
the power of salvation, and he alone can sane
tfy us and make us every whit whole. The
drawing of the water implies the continual and
increasing use of all the ordinances of Gods
House. We should draw water from the wells
of salvation, because it is free and without
price, and also because it affords joy and be-
cause of the glorious hope of immortality which
it inspires This is the most glorious of all the
promises in Gods Word, and should be alone
sufficient to draw US to nearer and closer
companionshp with the blessed Saviour.
The speaker closed with an eloquent peoria
ton and a natbetic anecdote
The Bishop is pleasing and eloquent speak
e., and is deservedly popular with the mem
bers OF his church, .H

around where material was scarce feeling that
he must fill up SO many valuable moments,
with trivial things, and his audience was fore

At the recent Inauguration of the new

the town was named, was present. and as in
duty bound made a speech, of which the
following IS report:
LADIES and Gentlemen
On the western coast of Scotland where it
slopes into the Irish Sea, a river, rising on
the mountains of the inner land, winds down
among the hills and emptics into the Firth
of Clyde. From remote time is has been
called Ayr from an old Scotch word " Ayry,' >
meaning an eagles nest-the river Of the
eagles nest. Near its mouth and a contig-
uous harbor, long stood a hamlet which be-
came royal burg or town named from the
river, and now about one-third as large as
Lowell-the city of Ayr. For more than a
thousand years it has been noted in the his
tory of Scotland During the wars of Rob
ert Bruce il was one of his resorts, and was
especially favored by him because he was
there cured of leprosy Oliver Cromwell
made it one of the depots and headquarters
of his army in his attack upon Scotland, and
one of his old forts is now the Citadel of
Ayr.
But above all its distinctions, Ayr was the
birth place of the poet Burns. And what
poet What voice has he given to all the
endearments of home How has he hallowed
the cottage and all it covers-weans and wife,
patches and poverty, beans, barley, ale,
hardship and the poor mans toll. How he
wraps with tenderness whatever he names,

HONE AND ITS QUEEN.-Ihere Is prob
ably not an unperverted man or woman
living, who does not tell that the sweetest
consultations and best rewards of life are
found in the loves and delights of home.
There are very few who do not feel them
selves ndebted to the influences that clus-
tered around their cradles for whatever
good there may be in their characters and
conditions. Home based upon Christian
marriage, is so evidently an institution Of
God, that man must become profane be-
fore he can deny it. Wherever it Is plant
ed, there stands a bulwark of the state.
Wherever it is pure, and true to the Chris
tan idea, there lives an institution con-
servative of all the nobler interests of So
ciety. Of this realm woman is the queen.
1t takes its cue and hue from her. If she
is in the best sense womanly-if she is
true and tender, loving and heroic, patient
and self devoted-she consciously or IN
consciously organizes and puts in opera
ton a set of Influences that do more to
mould the destiny of the nation than any
man, uncrowned by power or eloquence,
can possibly effect. The men of the ma
ton are what mothers make them, as a
rule and the voice which those men speak
in the expression of their power is the
voice Of the woman who bore and bred
them. There can be no substitute for this.
There is no possible way in which the wo-
men of the nation can organize their inlu-
ence and power that will tell so benef-
Gently upon society and the state. Neither
woman nor the nation can afford TO have
home demoralized or in any way deteri-
orized by the loss of influence there. As
a nation we rise or fall as the character of
our homes, presided over by woman, rises
or falls aud the best gauge of our best
prosperity is to be found in the measure
by which these homes find multiplication
in the land In true marriage. and the
struggle after the highest ideal of home
life, is TO be found the solution of more of
the ugly problems that confront the pres
ent generation-moral,so social, and political
than we have space to enumerate.-

TRIAL BY JURY.-Grave objections have
been urged against our present system of
trial by jury, on account of the frequent
incompetence of jurors. A late decision
in the State of Iowa appears to indicate a
movement towards reform, on which the
Press, of Philadelphia, has the following
remarks:
The Supreme Court of that State, it is
said, recently decided that if juror drinks
intoxicating liquor, during the time he
is engaged on trial, whatever the amount
may be, and though no visible effect is
produced, the verdict is null and void, and
must be set aside. This decision is step
in the right direction, and practically pre-
scribes certain qualifications for a juror,
viz: He must be temperate, clear-sighted
and in possession of all of his reasoning
faculties. The next step will be to pre-
scribe that, in addition, he must be intelli-
gent and educated. 1t also naturally fol-
lows that if juror must be all these
temp crate, clear-sighted, in possession of
all his faculties, and intelligent and educa-
ted-so must also a judge. 1t is a poor
rule in law, as well as in everyday life,
which does not work both ways"
