KALLOCH'S VENTURE.
How the Baptist Divine Filled
His Church Sunday Evening.

II there his been any doubt In the minds of the
religious portion 0: this community as to who WIS
the most popular one among the brgat galaxy OF
divnes who have their abiding places here, IL was
pretty satisfactorily settled Sunday evening. Kali
loeh, by what the French would call brilliant
coup De s,at, nearly drained all the other places OF
worship, and placed above all controversy his rspu
tation a shrewd and capable manager. The Car.
one Richings troupe famous for their musiea,
ability were invited to sing as choir at the evening
service, and knowledge of this fact sufficient
to fiilevery pew, aisle and gallery in the house.
Never before was such 4 crowd seen in a place of
worship in this city.
When the seating capacity of the Immense audi
forum had been exhausted chairs were brought
up from the lecture room below, and every aisle
erammed full. Standing room was at premium,
ard hundreds lie # the church unable even to gain
admttanee. If Beech.r had occupied the rostrum
there could not have bean greater press of people.
The services from beginning to close were in,eres
ing. Music, such as artists alone can render, came
fiom the choir, '.How firm foundation, '"Near-
er my God, to thee,'' and the Doxolosy, were
given with sweetness and paihos which stIIrei up
the feelings of the vast audience no other human
agency could.
Abe sermon of SIR. Ealloch was characteristic Of
the man and the independent views he holds. 1t
calm, dispassionate statement of the influence
Que individual had on another, and the benefits he
derive from taking worthy and exemplary posi-
ton in life.
In the course o. his remarks Mr.. Kalcch referred
TO the stii orthodoxy and strzight-laeed isms OF
the day which compelled a minister OF the gospel
to be seemingly standing apology for his exist
ence in the community, and denied his right to
take any indeE endent or progressive action Of his
without being subject to severe crticisni, and
oftentimes unjust censure. In this connection he
briefly referred TO the introduction Of foreign and
professional singers as a means OF dra wing aud
fence, and reid that il was not only proper. but
means by which grel: good can be aceomplis hei.
He wished tn at great audience could be gath
cred together every Sunday night, and regretted
that il WIS not in his power 10 have means at his
command by which this most drsirIbic state Of
thiags coa.d be brought about.

Wha, We May Expect.

A correspondent of the New York Times
sends from the Long Branch letter that
sounds like the song Of a robin in mid
winter. And yet. in few weeks, per-
haps in few days, the sun will be pour
ing its fiery rays upon the country. the
mercury will be in the top story, horses
will be wearing fy-nets, gentlemen ditto
linen coats and straw hats, ladies ditto
lace shawls and cloud of misty and mys-
FERROUS articles to which we will not ven
turs to attach names, windows and doors
will be open, trees will be dense with
foliage, the fragrance Of flowers will be
in the air, excursion trains will be run'
ming, picnics will be in order, while
winged boats will be gliding here and
there over the rivers, bays and lakes,
drowning accidents will be numerous,
Long Branch, Cape May, Newport and
Charlotte gossip will prevail like an epi-
demic, rumors of approaching cholera
will fill the air and the newspapers,
thunder storms will Brighten q hundred
thousand where they kill one, and every
one will he heartily SICK of the hot
weather and wishing that the winter
would arrive, with its delightfully."- long
evenings, splendid sleigh ride, sociables,
and exciting coal and gas bills.

JOaquln Miller In Italy.


A. an evening reception l observed a
man who had neglected both broadcloth
and gloves; hi. hair hung over his fore
head, and his thin boots had NO polish.
"That's Joaquin Miller said my
partner: ''he Is living dow IN the thea.
ter of Marcelius, among the d iron and
scrap shops, studying the people and
neglec.ing the form and ceremony
which society imposes on all but its pet
lions" was seated with him later
when he was invited by a lady to dance.
He declined with the excuse that he had
retired from the carpet since he got
bullet in his leg. "Perhaps Mr.. Miller
would give us the war-dance," suggest
ed a gentleman near. "Oh, d., Mr.
Miller" pleaded several young ladies' Ct
once. swell, now" said he, "it Was
only two or three evenings ago when.
after being begged an hour and hall,
agreed to try the war dance, but j had
scarcely begun preliminaries when the
ladies' objected, and of course l had to
give it up. "Why, how strange, Mr..
Miller; what did you do:" Naturally"

tune, but l hadn't gone any further than
taking of coat and vest, when the peo-
pie objected. as told you"
He doesn't write any letters now, for
if he, attempts it the person fills his
thoughts the whole day, and that is too
great sacrifice OF time; and as for read
ing any, he lets them accumulate while
and then presents the bundle to friend.

The SOUTHERN FLOOD.

Ii the estimate of the New Orleans Repub
tioun is correct, some idea may lie formed o.
the Immense damage occasioned by the re.
cent floods in Louisiana. Stating the pro-
bable total value of the sugar, rice and cot,
ton at Sl7 900, the Republican says: ''if we
estimate the damage to this crop at one.
sixth, it will give about $4,000, 900 az the
non.production of these staples alone. There
will be besides an immense loss on the half-
million Of live stock, the poultry, vegetable
and other articles of food 1t is to be re-
membered that crop damaged by high
water has great power of recuperation, and
though our estimate NAV be below that of
Others, We have no disposition to destroy the
credit of the merchant and planter by mak-
ing sensation estimate"
Since the Republican made the above es-
innate leveea protecting other parishes have
been broken ny the resis,less force Of the
food, and We doubt very much,
if anything like correct estimate can be
made Of the actual loss Of property, 10 ray
nothing of the greater less of human life.
Dispatches from the submerged sections of
Louisiana and Mississippi do not represent
the food as subsiding at all points, but since
the Cumberland, Tennessee, Ohio and Ar
kansas rivers are reported en- the decline,
there il every reason TO believe that the low
or Mississippi will aeon recede.

The few remaining followers Of the Dem
ocratic band who are now vocif, rously shout
ing that President Grant has d srupt,d the
Republican party by the veto Y III be disap-
pointed again. While Western Republicans
very generally censure the action of the
President, and deeply regret the defeat of a
measure which they fondly hoped would re.
store life and thrift tn the various industries
of the West, they will calmly consider the
defeat and think more than twice before
jumping into new party movement. II
will also he very difficult, We apprehend, to
make political issue of the question of in
a alton or non-inaaiion, because If Western
Republicans largely favor expansion, West.
ern Democrats are in accord with the same
policv. And il Eastern Republicans are
opposed to expanion, Eastern Democrats are
equally 20.
1.-THE elections next fall show that the in.
tlustrial c,asres of the Eastern and Central
States sustain the contraction policy
the Republicans Of the West will acquiesce.
At present they propose to appeal from the
President TO the people, arguing that the
veto reflected the views of capitalists, instead
of the sentiments of the masses. The Con.
duct of the President in the past is guar
antee that he will rot cling to policy after
the people have condemned it. Elections
take place in all the Congressional districts
of the country this year, hence the voter
will have an opportunity Of expressing theil
views on the all absorbing question without
much delay. In our opinion, the President
will abandon his position if the people do moi
sustain him.

distressed over rumor that Lesvenworh

million dollars of bonds issued 10 the Mir

that the que ton is of come little interest 10

The fact lie Leavenworth never Issued one
