Darwin has a practical supporter OF
his theory in the shape of the first
gorilla ever tanned and now in London.
A small party dined with him not long
sgo, and we are told Monsieur Gorilla
behaved like any courteous diner-out,
except that his conversation was not
brilliant, and that at one point in the
meal he calmly extended his paw and
removed from his neighbours plate to
his own some pretty little kickshaws,
which particularly pleased him. He
drank claret with his steak, lonnged in
his chair between the courses, and
cracked his walnuts and took his after
dinner glass of port with the most grace
Inl ease He is very particular about
ms iood, and always takes hot rum and
wafer, sweetened with honey, before
,e.ili''g- Darwin ought to be happy

How TO PRESERVE a BOQCET.-Whe
you receive a boquet, sprinkle il lightly
with fresh water; then put il into a YES
sci containing some sOapsuds, which
nourish the roots and keep the flowers
rs good rs new. Take the bOquet out Of
the suds every morning, and lay it side
ways in fresh water, the stalk entering
first into the water; keep il there a
minute or TWO, then take il out and
sprinkle the flowers lightly by the hand
with pure water. Replace the bOquet
in the sOapsuds, and the flowers will
bloom as fresh rs when gathered The
sOapsuds need to be changed every third
day BY observing these rules, n bOquet
may be kept bright aud beautiful for at
least one month, and will last longer in
very passable state; but the attention
to the fair but frail creatures, as directed
above, must he strictly observed, "or the
last rose OF summer will not be "left
blooming alone," but will perish.

REVISED ESTIMATES.

What 1t Costs the City OF Now York 6br
It's Local Government.
In response to the resolution Of the Board Of
Estimate and Apportionment passed May 2 ana
its circular letter dated the 9th ult and addressed
TO the heads OF the various departments and
bureaus of the city government, those ofiicers
have prepared revised estimates OF the amounts
necessary to defray the expense OF their several
branches Of the city service during the current
year. These estimates are just printed by order
OF the Board OF Estimate and Apporuonment.
They are intended primarily for the guidance OF
that body In fixing the several appropriations and
in levying upon the taxable property Of the city
the rate OF assessment requisite to the grand
total OF the city budget, which Includes besides
these items OF city expense, the rateabe share Of
the city in the cost Of the government OF the EN-
pire State. Apart from this primary use, these
figures which would have been considered appal-
ling in their magnitude by New Workers Of half .
century ago, win be read with lively interest by
that large class OF citizens out OF whose pockets
come the taxes which are TO bear these expenses

Property owners In the city are frequently heard
to grow at the burden OF taxation which grlnds

No doubt there are omissions In the list which
would swell even the grand total or these revised

by Rev. M. 8. Terry-Wanted, . Lay
College Here.
the Methodist ministers held their meeting yes
terday at 500 Broadway. Rev. N. 8. Terry OF this
city, read an essay on preaching. He contrasted
the old style OF expository preaching with the new
style OF topical preachin ;, and gave an unquai-
ned verdict against the latter. He argued that
the true theory OF the ministry made them ex-
positors Of the Word OF God and instructors OF the
people, and that this exposition and instruction
cannot be given by taking q text apart from It's
surroundings and talking on that for an hour or
more. He would follow the recommendation or
tine discipline Is much as possiole and read les
sons at each service rom the Old and the New
Testament, commenting exp0sit0ry on the one
and preaching ilom the other. He recommended
New Testament and going right through with
them, 80 that In this way the people might In the
course 81 ministry get correct idea Of biblical
exposition and better knowledge OF Scripture
meaning than they can gam b5 the present
Gr. Terry advised those who might now desire
prayer meeting, and thus prepare themselves for
It In the larger congregation. The essay was so
thorough and comprehensive that IL lett little or
nothing 10 be said In debate for or against its sug
gestons and lnferences.
