Ferris-NI0ni gOmery-Gansc.

The Methodist, Episcopal and Reformed
Churches claim the services Of the three emf
nent dvines whose names are herewith ASSOC
ciated. The Rev. W. II. Ferris, D. D., lately
Presiding Elder Of the New York district,
New York Conference, and successor to Rev.
John E. Goodman in the pastorate of Bedford
street Methodist Episcopal church, is man Of
piety stands unquestioned before the Church,
but he is apt to set his standard of Christian
perfection so high that very few persons can
measure up to it. Nevertheless, the aim
and end of his pulpit and social ministrations
is to elevate his Church and people up to
what he considers the true gospel standard Of
men in Christ Jesus. The Doctors rigorous
demand for purity of heart and purity of life
in the Church may not suit great many, but
his sincerity and earnest faith in the doctrines
of Christianity must command the heartiest
approval of every man. He is man of very
positive character, intensely radical in every
thing, and In nothing, perhaps, more so than
in his hatred of Romanism. It may be
remembered that he was the leader in the
interesting discussions Of the Methodist
Preachers Association, some time ago, ON
''Sectarian Appropriations" and Dancing"
which he and others SO heartily condemned.
''Look well to your facts" is motto which
the Doctor always tries to remembers aud he
is usually well armed with facts and figures to
back up any assertions he may make ON
;rnn mt 1pif 10
courses are equal to those Of the majority
of his brethren in the ministry, but do not
in themselves possess any striking peculiarly
of thought or style. His manner in the pulpit
is dignifed and his utterances clear, distinct
and solemn. TIL, future glory of the Church
is subject of great inspiration to DR.. Ferris
and one that he delights to dwell upon and to
describe, as, with the vision of prophet, he
behods the kingdoms of this world become the
kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ.
The Rev. Henry Il. Montgomery, d. d., is
the rector Of the Protestant Episcopal Church
Of the Incarnation, Madison avenue and
Thirty fifth street. He was formerly pastor OF
the Church of the TransGguration-'thc little
church around the corner" in Twenty -ninlh
street, near Fifth avenue, since become so
famous through Mr.. Sabine's bigolry. Tho
Doctor is small man, of very nervous tenn
ncrament, an earnest Sunday school worker,
and vigorous preacher. He belongs to
the sI.ow Church" school, and, as
faithful servant of the Lord Jesus
Christ, ''makes full proof of bis min
istry" by visiting his parshioners regu-
larly and frequently in their homes, and
presenting both in his life and conversation
the power and the faith, the Joy and the peace
of the Gospel Of his Master The Doctors
sermons are remarkable only for their
simplicity and earnestness and practical appi-
cation. So simple. indeed, are they. that

The Magnetic Telegraph and Honors {,
Professor Morse.


Professor Morse.
No man among the many benefactors Of
mankind, since the time of Christ or even
before, has done more for the world than that
venerable old gentleman, Professor Morse,
whose statue was inaugurated on Saturday,
and in whose honor the meeting was held in
the evening at the Academy of Music. He,
even, we suppose, did not foresee all the
wonderful results Of the magnetic telegraph
when he first invented it. He realized, no
doubt, in his own mind, something Of its power
and usefulness; but who would have thought
that in quarter Of century the earth would
have been nearly girdled and the civilized
world covered over with the lightning speaking
wire? Who would have supposed that
thousands of miles OF ocean would be no
obstacle to instantaneous conversation between
people Of different continentsp The progress
Of telegraph development is the most astonish-
ing fact in the history of mankind. Well
might Mr.. Morse say In his speech at the
Academy little did that young friend,
twenty seven years ago (and whose presence

in the artless innocence Of . devout
heart, dream Of the far-reaching effect
of that first telegram which she
indited upon him who transmitted it." Yes,
little did any one dream Of the wonders it has
accomplished. But we shall see greater won
ders yet. The telegraph, in the hands of the
Christian nations, is destined to revslutionize
the ideas Of the world to extend civilization
and pure religion to the uttermost parts Of
II, and to bring about the brotherhood Of all
the families Of mankind Long after the sta
tue erected to Professor Morse shall have
crumbled to dust his name will live in history
and in the grateful memory of the human race.

PREPARING FOR ITALIAN OPERA. I'M
derstand Mr.. Max Strakosch, and Mr.. Jarrett,
the agent of Miss Nilsson, will leave New York
for Europe on Wednesday, for the purpose Of
completing arrangements for Italian opera

already engaged Mons. Capoul, one of the
finest tenors in Europe, and Mons. Jarnet, the
eminent basso, from the Italiens, Paris.
sgnor Brignoli and Miss Cary have been re-
engaged. Mr.. Strakosch intends TO get

no doubt that we shall have opera on a scale
rarely equaled either in this country or In
Europe.

THE PARIS PRESS expects that a strong
effort will be made by the Bonapartists for the
success Of their party in the coming supple
mentary elections. One paper reports that
the Prince Imperial, not Prince Napoleon,
will be put forward as candidate for the
Assembly. Absurd as this statement may
appear, II may be true The father of the
Prince is fond of sensations, and may consent

obtaining q direct decision from the people
concerning the chances of his dynasty There
is nothing in the French laws, so far as we
are aware, to render the boy ineligible; but,
of course, there Is no probability of his taking
his seat if elected--that is, if he is candidate.

THE CUMULATIvE VOTE IN PENN.
SYLVANIA.

The Pennsylvania Sennatc has passed
bill authorizing the cumulative sys-
tenn of voting in all the boroughs of the
commonwealth at elections for members
of town councils. Iu broughs wherein
the number of such members is now
fixed at FIVE, the bill requires that six
shall hereafter be elected. Voters may
then either ',tribute their ballots
among the six candidates, or cumulate
upon one or more, as they shall choose.
This bill, should it pass the other branch
of the Legislature, will permit more
general test Of this particular plan of
minority representation than has hith-
erto been possible. This is the plan de-
vised by ex Senator Buckalew, Of Penn
>ylvania, and it has not only been thor
oughly tested at several town elections
in that State where it was provided for
BY special legislative enactmeuts, but it
has in every case proved eminently prac-
ticable and productive Of the most ben
c6cial results. 1t is the nearest ap-
proach to a satisfactory system for in
suring representation to the minority
that has ever been reached. The new
constitution recently adopted for the
State of illinois provides for similar
plan of voting.

THE PROSPECT FOR COTTON.
A Dismal Report.
From the Montgomery Advertise


| We referred briefly yesterday to the
crop prospects in Northeast Alabama, as
we saw them two weeks ago. Since
then we have overlooked a large mail
with a view to ascertaining the opinion
of the press concerning the outlook for
the planters in other parts of the State
and communicating them to the public
but the record was everywhere so nearly
the same, and told such woful tales OF
failure, disaster aud threatened ruin,
that we concluded to epitomize the
whole in one grand summary of-rains,
grass, and almost unprecedented sorry
prospects ior the cotton crop. So much
for Alabama.
In North Carolina the falling off in
cotton planting reaches fifteen per cent.
Weather cold, wet and unfavorable.-
Cotton unusually poor.
South Carolina has oue.Gfth less cot
ton under cultivation this year than she
had last. Weather worse, if anything,
than in North Caroliua. Crops very
inferior and unpromising.
| Georgia decreases her acreage abeut
fifteen per cent. this year. Crop about
the same as in Alabama.
Mississippi falls of II pei cent. this
| year in acreage. Weather unusually
uufavorable. Prospects gloomy and
cherries.
Arkansas-about the same as MissiS-
sippi. -
per cent. Weather rot so uutavorable
as in other Southern States. Prospects
for cotton, however, not very fne.
Texas not heard from. The total de
crease of the acreage in cotton iu the
Southern States IS about one million OF
acres. equal to about twelve or thirteen
per cent. of the total number of acres
in cultivation last year. This ought to
be equivalent to a decrease of 100000
bales from last years crop, according to
a rate twenty per cent. lower than the
rate of production that prevailed
throughout the South last year. Ad-
mitting that the remaining lands-the
lands now in cultivation-will turn of
half crop, (Which We believe to be a
large estimaie,) the next season will
leave the South in possession of the
stupendoas amount of 100000 bal
Of cotton as the product of her teemiug
fields for 1871. "Cotton will be cotton"
next season.

A BEAUTIFUL THOUGHT:

was reading the other day that on
the shores of the Adriatic sea the wives
of the fishermen, whose husbands have
gone far off upon the deep, are in the
habit, at evcn.tide, OF going de En to the
sea shore, aud singing as female voices
only can, the first stanza OF a beautiful
hymn; alter they have sung it they will
listen til they hear, borne by the wind
across the desert sea, the second stanza
sung by their gallant husbands, as they
are tossed by the gale upon the waves.
aud bothare happy Perhaps, FIVE listen
We TOO. might hear on this desert world,
OF ours >ome whisper borne from afar to
remind US that there is heaven aud u
home; and when We sing the hymn upon
earth, perhaps we shall hear its echo

of time and cheering the hearts ofthoss
that are pilgrims and strangers, and lock

AROUND THE HEARTH.

Wha.ever be our earthly lot,
Wherever We may roam,
Still to our hearts the brightest spot
Is round the hearth at home;
The home where we receive our birth,
The hearth by which we sat,
No other spot on oil the earth
VIII ever be like that.
When winter, coming in its wrath,
Piled higbe the drifting snow,
Safe clustered round the cheerful hearth,
We watched the freight glow;
Nor brighter seemed the rudy flames
Than did our hearts the while
A loving mother breathed our names,
With sweet approving smile.
When wearied With our eager chase
Through many tangled path,
How sweet the dear accustomed place,
To talk around the hearth;
And still, when by our toll and care
We feel ourselves oppressed,
Our thoughts forever cluster there,
And there alone find rest.
Bright promise of the rest above,
Sweet shelter from the storm,
Home ballowed by mothers love,
Hearth by that love made warm;
Though wildly roared the storm without
What recked We of the cold
What place for any fear or doubt
Within the loving fold?
And when some little trouble weighed
Upon tne childish heart,
Till from our Drumming eyes it made
The gushing tear drops start,
How quick, before the genial glow,
We .elt each sorrow cease,
And back the crystal current aow,
To food our hearts with peace.
And brighter with the passing years
Seems cLiidh0od's sweet employ,
And f;~~n swee;er still appears
Each wi! remembered joy.
Around the cheerful hearth at home,
Where we in childhood sat,
; No other spot, where'er We roam,
Will over be like that.
