PARIS, Nov. 1.-The Orleans Princes have
united IN Il formal declaration that they will not
accept the lieutcnancy of the kingdom, and this
they do to avoid all appearance OF competing
with the Count de Cbambord. All the fac
tons OF the right have consequently agreed to
move prolongation Of President MacNlahon' S
powers.
There is difference of opinion as to the
length Of tme Some favor making MacNa-
hon President for life, and others for extend
ing his term six or ten years. All are deter
mlucd to continue the existence of the present
Assembly, aud motion will probably be in
troduccd postpouiug its dissolution three years
1t is rumorcd that an attempt will be made
to arm the government with dlctatorial powers
similar to those granted in 1882, and to intro
duce bill prohibiting elections for vacancies
in the Assembly until the electoral law is
amended. The left have resolved to demand
immediate elections to fill vacant seats.
1t is stated that MachlahoD's forthcoming
message to the Assembly will ask for an extern
sion of his term for SO long time as may be
required to strengthen the authority Of the gov
ernuent, In order to inspire the nation with
confidence

TAILoR's BLACK LlsT.-It may be re-
gardcd as one of the sigps of the times that
tailors who formerly exulted to trust and
blushed to be paid are becoming far less ac-

of the trade in Boston have agreed TO publish
10 two of the daily papers the names and resi-
denceS of their customers who do not pay
promptly" This gloomy catalogue is to APP

another to the depressing Influences of thai

TIMELY REMARKs.-Th Philadelphia North
American discusses at length the subject of
Hard Times and Money! with the evident
object Of restoring confidence among the bust
ness interest of the country, aud closes with the
following apropos remarks:
meantime the press Of the country has q
higher duty to perform than the WORK of paint
ing the situation in gloomy colors Production
depends upon demand; and if the demand falls
Oft, a reduction of producing force follows inev-
itably as rule The people must learn to look
at these things in tho light of common sense:
No man can long carry on business at a dead
loss. A large percentage of his capital may lie
in stock, fixtures and manufactured articles. If
there is no market for his products, so much of
his capital is practically dead. 1t is not, as some
suppose, question Of profits with enterprisng
manufacturers but of losses. 1t is better for u
proprietor to continue business for short time
without profit. or even at trihng loss, than it
is to close his doors. But wneu to produce is to
sink just SO much capital as tho products repre-
sent, in majority Of cases he must stop. He
may struggle on for few weeks, just rs man
might strike out and swim in mid-ocean; but
the former, like the latter, must sink at last.
Mutual forbearance is the common duty. And
this, with firm determination TO make the best
Oft, will be found equsl to the emergency"

WHAT CAUSES HARD TINES. many
spend money, and too few earn it.
Too much money is spent Wastefully and
needlessly, and too little saved and made pro-
ductive and accumuatlve
We are too speculative and INSCRIPTIONS in
our efforts to make money.
Too many of us prefer idleness to industry
and too few of us know how to work and derive
pleasure and profit from our labor.
We talk too much and act too little.
We roll about too much like stones that
gather no moss
To short, We are too much what We ought
not, and not enough what We ought to be.

Mr.. Beecher's TieiUs.

At meeting in Plymouth Chuach the
other evening, relating to the affairs ol
that body and other churches. Mr.. Beecher
said:
Il merely wish to say in regard to these
resolutions, that there are two types in
every church; in the Episcopal church,
high and low in the Presbyterian church
cid and new school; in the Baptist church
open and close communion; in other
words. human nature divides itself to
walds the aristocratic and democratic
from great principles involved in human
nature. Ike same is true in the Congre
galional polty. A large number OF men
hold 10 high degree Of authority to be
exercised by the churches, and on each
other through public sentiment. Others
hold LEGAL independence of the church
aud its being, and the right Of the church
to determine without the interference OF
other churches questions that belong
definitely TO itself-in other words, the
democratic and aristocratic construction
OF Congregationalism. 1 need not say
that Plymouth Church, from the construc.
ton of its members and the disposition
of its pastor. has always slood upon the
platform Of democratic Congregational
ism. as distinguished from stringent and
arislocralic Congregationalism and there
is this thing to be understood. that we are

NUMBER so.

not going aside into new place. ouI
simply arranging ourselves on that side
in the division of the Congregational
polty, that we are democratic and nor
governed by other churches.
SIR. Beecher then read communlcl-
ton he had received from a Congrega-
tional clergyman in Massachusetts oi
foity years standing. to the following
effect: you are right in the infamous
discipline case, and it is true and simple
Congregaiionalism, whatever may DC
said about discipline. | have been
Congregational minister for ioity YEAS
and The time never was when | would not
have my church do Just as yours has
done | believe three. quarters OF ths

not to say conntry. would have done the
same thing, and | think many OF them
have done it, very many. A man cannot
90 out Of the church without censuIe'
when there is no Seriptural authority Tor
one single word of censure! Strange
idea! The fellowship OF the church
hereabouls in Congregationalism has he-
come exceedingly oppressive, very bard
to be borne in many apprehensions. To
be sure, nobody knows exactly what It
is. only that it means that Congrega-
tional church has not right 20 manage
its own affairs on Gospel principles. and
that it means what certain leading per-
sons in the church and ministry say 1t
means. thank the Lord for your stand
in the case. Stick | will not give TINS

Charity At Cost.

II you think it good policy to aid private
charities by general taxation, do 1t IN IN
equitable way. Let the managers OF such
charities present their accounts before inc
peoyle. or before some tribunal constI,ut-
ell to represent them. Let them sho"
that they are conducting their trust upon
the sound business principle that give
maximum of charity at minimum oil cost.
Let them show that they are doing work
of real utility that no other agency could
accomplish so cheaply and so well; ana
then, let them ask Tor an annual grant oi
money in its aid. could mention one or
two OF our private Institutions unscclAr-
ain in their character, which fulfil every
condition of enlightened benelIcence.
They are managed with economy, aud
their machinery is constantly adjusted 10
meet the changing needs Of the day. They
are instruments through which the wisest
and best oil living men and women give
personal service in meeting those forms
olignorance and poverty which at present
threaten society. And yet these insti'n'
tious do not receive one tenth rs much OF
our tax payers money rs is layshcd upon
the notions OF dead men, who made b.Un'
dcring guesses at the requirements OF
generation they never saw. Let me ro-
peat that it is not the fact OF State all to
private bodies who manage charities 10
which here object. protest only against

are false to your duty in giving the peo'
ple's money, Indirectly and in indefinite
amounts, TO corporations which You hold
to no accountability, and to which you
would never dare TO vote it openly.
Tax US to support religion, if you can be.
lieye that an impost for this purpose IS
consistent with t. principle OF American
government. But let us know what we
pay. and why we way it. II you take
our money to support religion, see mat

openly. and under conditions that will
ensure its wise expenditure. Give us
