It is evident that Spurgeon has lost
much Of the physical vigor which he
once had. He leans oftener and more
heavily on his desk, his manner is more
hesitating, his voice more low and con-
versational. Increasing, weakness has
not, however, touched any fiber of his
intellectual force and, indeed, to a
severe. taste his lower tone, and more
solemn manner are an improvement on
his former style. He still holds the
crowd as no man in London has held It
in recent times, and as a natural con-
sequence he is overworked. On Sunday
last he had among his hearers the negro
jubilee chorus from America, who sang
some of their hymns to him in his ante
room after the sermon. A crowd of
visitors, some from America, came to
shake hands with him, and he crested
them cordially, remarking that he re-
GREETED that he had so little time to talk
to them, but hoped they would have
plenty of time IN heaven. 4 rather odd
incident, just before the services, two
distinguished Americans-one a former
official and intimate friend of the late
Daniel Webster-had been shown into
a pew. Presently the pew-opener came
and requested that they would take
seat just behind, as ca distinguished
gentleman and lady had to be placed in
the pew they occupied" The two
Americans at once complied, and beheld
the gentleman and lady escorted to the
vacated seats, both black as the ace of
spades. Mr.. Spurgeon is credited with
the following, which, if not true, is ben
troUato. He is said to have been taken to
task by some Sabbatarian since he has
found it necessary to employ a broug-
ham to take him to church.
''But, " he urged, {" I only sit still in
the carriage-I don't work.
"Ah, yes, sir, said the other; "but
your coachman, think of him 70
go he is Jew, and keeps the seventh
day.-sabbath. .
" But your horse ?''
60" said Spurgeon, getting a little
impatient, he is a Jew, too %
This reminds me of another little
story going the rounds concerning one
OF our broad church clergymen, who,
being recently on an excursion to Scot
land, was vehemently rebuked by his
landlady for taking walk on Sunday
afternoon. The clergyman said that he
could not see the harm, and said:
" You know that we read that our
Lord himself walked with his disciples
in the fields on the sabbath day"

OLD HUABUGs DISCARDED. Thank
heaven, the old-school practice is pass
ing away. Ipecac, aloes, calonel, bIist-
ering, the lancet, and (worse than all, }
medicated rum, have given place to a
new remedy, which bids fair to become
the universal medicine of mankind.
Vinegar Bitters is that remedy. It is
destined to take precedence of all other
curatives now before the world. The
pharmacopoeia and conspectus of the
regular faculty contain nothing that will
compare with it. Every day hundreds
OF the sick are emancipating them
selves from systems of treatment which
entail great expense and do no good,
and are flying to this cheap and abso.
Iutely certain means of relief. Dys-
pepsia, rheumatism, liver complaint.
periodic fevers, sick headache, kidney
diseases, constipation, nervous affection
and in short all maladies, acute or
chronic, which do not involve the ire
parable injury of some vital organ, are
cured by this pure inalcoholic vegeta-
bel restorative.

CHINA is building up navy that viii

American engineers have been for sew
eral years engaged in teaching Chinese
workmen to construct steam vessels.
Eleven have already besa launched.
and four more are under contract TO be
finished before February, 1874 One of
the steamers is a first-class corvette, 200
feet long, 81 feet beam, and carries a
formidable battery. New York may be
visited by Chinese man-of-war before

of tue Chinese is, no doubt, to main

which Japan and Corea have lately

English and German Goal.

There seems but little chance of any
diminution In our exports of coal to
Germany, which has risen from 1896
373 tons in 1867 to 1886, 81 tons in
1871. The production of native Goals
has, according to Consul Whites com
mereial report on British trade with
Germany, lately printed, immensely in
creased in that country within the last
twenty years, and it was fondly antici-
pated by some persons interested in the
development of this branch of national
wealth that a time was not far distant
when German Goals would be sufficient
ly cheap and abundant to 10 away with
any necessity for the importation of
British Goals by sea. This prospect,
however, appears to be as distant as
ever. British and Welsh Goals have in
creased immensely in price, the freight
for Goals has likewise experienced con-
siderable augmentation but these addi-
tons In the expenses accruing for Eng
lish Goals have in no way diminished
the demand for them in Prussian ports,
though their price was in many in
stances exactly double in 1872 of what
1t had been two years previously. It
appears that German Goals have at the
same time undergone a corresponding
increase IN price; and, although the
prospect of increased profits may in
due course give a fresh impulse to the
working of the pits and stimulate the
mining industry to a still greater ex-
pansion, there can be no doubt that the
demand for Goals in Germany is inereas-
iIg SO rapidly that it is not probable the
increased production can do more than
keep pace with the increasing demand
for Goals in all directions.

WINTER LETTUCE.-A writer In the
Journal of the Farm says all that is
necessary to have lettuce through the
winter is to build a frame out of course
boards, to cover it with closely-fitting
glars sash, and to place it in a sunny
spot, somewhat protected. In this
plant the lettuce sets about six inches
apart, in good ground, and keep them
ProPerly watered. They viii grow all
winter, and in the early spring will
form beautiful large heads to encourage
the appetite and grace the table. The
earlier in the autumn this operation is
begun the better.

Foote'S pusla with prsntiaa-

In his "reminiscences contributed to
the Washington Chronicle, Hon. Henry
S. Foote speaks as follows of his dulles
with Sergeant S. Prentiss: "In the
winter Of 1928 7 had & personal dis
pute at the bar with the famous s. S.
Prentiss, during the trial of capital
case of much Importance. His langu-
age, though sufficiently retaliated by
me at the time, induced me to send him
challenge, which I ought never to
have thought of doing. He promptly
accepted, proved far better shot than
myself, and wounded me very painfully
In the left shoulder. We adjusted our
dispute before we left the ground. An
indiscreet friend or two of his spoke
disparagingly of my conduct on the oc-
casion. I was highly exasperated, and
wrote him note demanding whether
he had given his sanction to this act of
injustice He at once denied doing so.
1 published the correspondence. He
placed such an Interpretation upon my
letter to him as gave him much offense.
He proposed re-opening the fight, which
we did on exceedingly desperate terms.
He shot me down, giving me an exceed
ingly dangerous wound. In thrrc
months we were good friends, and lived
in the greatest amity and harmony up
to the period of his death, which hap
pened in 184S.'
