The altar.rail was covered with moss
and flowers, arranged in fine taste, with
large baskets of flowers on the posts of
the two gates near either end and on the
front. The church was already well filed
half an hour before the time apr ointed,
and with an audience so distin guished and
fashionable, and such beauty ana elegant
attire as might cause even the hearts of
the accustomed hdJitues of that old edifice
to flutter with admirati on. There were
the Vice President, members of the For.
eign Legatations and OF the High Com
mission, and many Senators and Repre-
sentatives, and the re were present besides
nearly all the distinguished ladies of FASH
ion of this city, Outside the church were
nearly people enough to fill the church
second time, who, not fortunate enough to
have cards of admission, patiently awaited
to catch a momentary view of the party
while passing between the carriage and
the church. The ushers were Mr.. Hamil-
ton Fish, Jr., Mr.. Fred. May, Baron Won
Alvenseben, and Captain Ward, of the
British Navy.

THE anthracite coal war is still rag
ing with unabated bitterness, and the
suffering occasioned by the combina-
tiop of the coal and railroad companies
is almost incalculable. The legislative
committee appointed to investigate the
matter has been sitting some six or eight
weeks, and, with the most urgent need
for prompt and decisive action, it has
maintained most mastery inactivity.
Waiting tor justice from legislative
committee is like standing on the bank
of river and waiting for the waters to
roll past and leave its bed dry Erie
Dispatch.

is q wise provision Of Providence, but excessive

valid plea can be urged against its use, even BY
the genius of Temperance itself; for even the
Maino law permits the sale of ditfusivc stimuli
for medicinal purposes. AS n general rcnovatlng

But this is only one Of the merits Of this famous
invigorator Its regulating properties give itan
immense superiority over all the tonics of tho
