church the Rev. DR.. Stoddard delivered .
memorial sermon on the late Nine. Audubon
He spoke of this venerable lady's piety. II
was rare he said, to see a woman of four
score years so active in errands of usefulness
and benevolence as she had been. She had
benedictions upon her tongue and smiles that
were blessing to all who met her. He
traced her history from her youthful days
when she met the great naturalist, then
young, whom she married, all through to the
end of her long and useful life. He improved
the opportunity to exhort his hearers to fol-
low the example of this excellent woman and
to make their influence felt for good wherever
they might be.
Dr. Deems, at the Church Of the Strangers,
told his hearers that all things worked together
for good to them that love God. He referred
to the apparently irreconcilable doctrines OF
free will and predestination, and maintained
that none should despair under the grand
scheme of redemption, but should strive to
love God and work for salvation.
Dr. Storrs discoursed on the Lords Sup
per at the Church OF the Pilgrims, Brooklyn,
and urged that it was the duty of Christians
to eat the bread and drink of the cup through
all ages to commemorate the Lords death.
The Rev. Father Toner preached at st. Mary's
Star of the Sea on justice, charity and Chris
tian life, taking for his text the words of
Christ-'Unless your justice exceed that Of
the Scribes and Pharisees you shall not enter
into the kingdom of heaven" Upon this he
urged the necessity of practical religion. DIR.
Fulton dwelt on the claw of Forgiveness. In
substance the discourse was the amplifcation
of the words Of Jesus to the effect that if we
would be forgiven we must forgive, though
his text was taken from the Psalms.
Mr. Hepworth inculcated the lesson Of
obedience to the will of God by the example
of Abraham Offering up his son Isaac at the
command of God He said that this was
trial of Abraham's faith, and was to show
the patriarch and all others that people are
not to be so welded to idols, even to those of
their own blood, as not to be ready to sacrifice
them for the good Of their souls. He said
almost every human home has some, idol,
something that keeps the heart bound to
earth and away from God To wean men
from such was the meaning and philosophy Of
Abraham's example. Mr.. rockingham. at
Lyric Hall, spoke on the ''Keys OF Human
Nature" and in doing so contended against
the doctrine of inherent depravity. He held
that man is developed creature, result Of
experience growth, and that he is working
upward to a higher and better nature. In
these and other sermons noticed to-day there
is variety enough, but little that is new or
striking.

What New York Has but Has Not
New York is metropolis remarkable for
what it has not even in what it has. It has
long enjoyed the commercial supremacy of
this Continent, and yet throughout the whole
period it has been without wharves and piers.
Its growth has been unexampled, and yet
after efforts continued through many years it
is without rapid transit; business men living
at the upper part of the island have no speedy
means of getting from their homes to their
business or from their business to their homes.
The street cars are dirty and dsagreeable as
we'll as slow, and most of them are so old
that they nearly toss the passenger off his
seat in trying to shake themselves to pieces.
Scarcely single street is paved throughout
pavements ara frequently repaired with stone.
Then New York has splendid public and pri-
vate buildings, but many of them are 80 badly
built that they are constant menace to
passers by; sometimes foundation gives way.
and now and then house topples over. We
have plenty Of high priced dwellings, but no
pleasant cottages. A ''whole house. is q
luxury which people in ordinary circum-
stances cannot afford. The "French fiat"
system is too much after the tenement house
model, and the tenement houses are
frghtfully overcrowded, and yet in no
city in the world is there SO much waste
of dwelling space. Business in New York will
not tolerate domestic life in it's chosen haunts.
In consequence fully one-half of the fine build
ings below Canal street are practically useless
above the third story. Our markets are in-
accessible our street cars are overcrowded:
the leading thoroughfares are impeded with
booths and stands of every kind Broadway
is yet to be relieved" because there is no
outlet for downtown traffic from the lower
part of Church street into West Broadway and
South Fifth avenue and, worst Of all, there
are heavy taxes to pay and no adequate re-
turns either in comfort or convenience. Law
is exceedingly expensive, but it is not lux
ury and politics is q profession to some, but
burden upon all. We have nearly every
thing great city ought to have, but ell that
we possess is held under conditions that make
the possession irksome.

decided in the Grant parish case, in the
United States Circuit Court at New Orleans,
against the motion for new trial of the men
charged with conspiracy, on the ground that
the indictments were fatally defective. As
Judge Woods differed with him the two
opinion, so that the matter might go to the
Supreme Court of the United States and the
question be decided there. In the meantime
the prisoners were set at liberty on furnishing
bail This will prove very interesting case
before the Supreme Court, as it tests, in q

The CRoPs IN MISSOURI AND PENNsYL-
vAN1A.-The Missouri papers convey the
gratifying intelligence that the crops are
unusually promising in that State. The
Springfield Patriot estimates that there
are twenty-five thousand acres Of wheat
in its county, which will turn out fifteen
bushels per acre, yielding a total Of three
hundred and seventy-fve thousand bushels,
of which two hundred thousand bushels will
be for export This may be taken as an aver
age of the WY in which our exchanges gen.
orally speak, all of them debating that there
will be larger yield of wheat in the State
than was ever known before; and, what is
more, the grain is plump, full and hard,
showing that the quality is as satisfactory as
the quantity. The growing corn is coming
on finely. Equally cheering reports are made
of the crops in Pennsylvania. The hay crop,
now being harvested, is unusually large
Corn, potatoes and fruits Of all kinds promise
nm abundant yield, and the State papers "look
for one of the largest crops ever known"

Apportionment on Saturday can be very briefly
told. It w w.s q struggle for retrenchment
On the part Of Messrs. Vance and WAeeler-a
steady opposition to economy on the part OF
Comptroller Green and the Mayor The two
former members of the Board proposed and
voted in favor of number of reductions
in those departments where o saving Of
the peoples money could be effected
without injury to the public inter
ests. Mr.. Green, of course. took the
management of the opposition, but the jocu-
lar Mayor followed him in his votes as faith
fully as the stumbling pantaloon in the pan
tomime follows the wavings Of the harlequin's
wand. II the reductions proposed by Mr..
Vance had been made the rate of taxation
would have been about So so per cent Tor the
current year. AS it is, the votes of the Comp
troler and Mayor in the negative blocked
the action of the Board, and nothing
was accomplished. The estimate is
as incomplete as ever, not q
single item having been passed. In opposing
any reduction of his own enormous clerical
force the Comptroller read letter comparing
the expenses Of the Finance Department in
1871 with the expenses this year. with the

SLAUGHTER OF THE TREASURY CLERKS AND
OTHERS. The news from Washington is that
about four hundred clerks and other en-
ployes in the Treasury Department, and one
half of those in the Bureau of Printing, are
to be discharged on the LIST of July They
ore to receive, however, two months extra
pay. This is certainly liberal to the clerks if
not to the taxpayers. The civil force OF the
War Department is to be reduced also about
hundred. The Department Of State is to
have a small increase. With the exception OF
discharging some civil employees at the navy
yards there will be little or no further
change in any OF the departments at present.
There was, and still viii be- room enough for
retrenchment in the departments and bureaus
crowded with employees put in to accommo-
date Congressman and leading politicians.

ST. NICHOLAS FOR MAy.-The Fronts
piece of st. Nicholas for May is very large
and remarkably fine engraving illustrating
a passage in Goethe's Poem, " Johanna
Sehus.' Indeed, this number contains
many engravings of unusual excellence;
Miss IIallocl has two, one of which is a
specimen of her very best work on wood;
Miss Ledyard has two; Eytinge and Shep-
pard each has 4 capital piece of character
drawing; there is a beautiful little thing
copied from Michelet, and a picture from
one of Hendschell's graceful and dainty
sketches. There is even drawing from
Il native japanese artist. The literary
contents this month alternate very fairly
between the practical and the imaginative.
This magazine has hit that happy medi-
UNI which makes its contents neither too
grave for youth or too light for age and
approaches near, if it has not actually
attained, that desidcratum long sought
after, a perfect young folks magazine.
By gathering from the experience of ali
former publications of its class, its pub
fishers and editors have preserved all of
the most valuable features belonging to

PAWNEE ROCK.

In western annals, certain places unim-
portant III themselves, have gained large
Importance and wide celebrity from their
associations. Such place was Pawnee
Rock. Though only landmark of the
plains Il cluster of reddish colorcd rocks in
a bluff on the north side of the Arkansas,
it was famous place so lately as three or
four years ago. All frontiersmen and In
dams knew it well. 1t had witnessed many
a council, many a treaty and "swap,'
many a gathering of the clans while yet
the entertainments of the white man were
far to the eastward. 1t occupied the same
necessary place in Indian and frontier af-
fairs which country town or commercial
center might in civilization, and finally
became endowed with semi sacredness in
savage eyes. AS a place where momentous
negotiations were carried on, and solemn
compacts made, this red landmark on the
western plains is entitled to more consider
alton than PENIS Oak, and probably has
a stranger history, almost forgotten.
1t is strange to reflect that the history of
Pawnee Rock is now merged in the stran-
ger history of the wonderful advance of
civilization. Only few days since, the
quarter section upon which 1T stands was
turned into farm. Not by Il frontiers
man who knows anything of its history,
but as though the extremes of birth and
education should meet upon the scene of
savage camps and councils, by Swedish
gentleman, named Eric Norburg, one OF
the old Bishop Hill colony, of Illinois, who
purchased it from the Atchison, Topeka
and Santa Fe r. r. Company. Barton
county, in which it is, is one of the richest
in western Kansas. People are gathering
around it upon all sides, and soon it will
likely be the nearest neighbor to church
or school house.
People who are fond of associations,
and who have some regard for that strange
history of race which is rapidly passing
away withouta record except such as this,
will be glad to reflect that the famous land
mark is not tree, or a mound, liable to
waste and decay, but a rock, whose very
ponderous uselesness may perpetuate tradl-
ton in the midst of the wheat, fields and
vineyards which are destined soon to come.

To THE PoINT-An exchange says:
"Compare tho publisher of newspaper,
who has to go all around the country to
collect his pay, to farmer who sells his
wheat on credit, and not more than a
bushel to any person. If any farmer will
try the experiment of distributing the
proceeds of his labor over two or three
counties, with an additional one to two or
three distant States, for one year, we will
guarantee that he will never, after that
years experience, ask publisher to supply
him with paper year or two without
the paw for it.
