Mr.. David Blakely, formerly Secretary
Of State Of Minnesota, lately resigned his

Miss Ada Sweet, having been appointed to
take his place, as WAS duly announced in
TIE GRAxaE ADVANCE. has assumed the du-
ties Of her Office. Like other mortals who
are elevated to high positions in this age
Of daily newspapers her first encounter was
with a live reporter. The interview seems
to have been ss0eet. The lady compliments
Mr.. Blakely, compliments his assist
ants, and compliments the manner
in which the books were kept, compli-
ments the condition in which she found the
office, compliments herself and compliments
the retiring Of Mr.. Blakely, and her.
self upon being so quickly ushered
upon the duties of the Office. Which is all
proper and right, seeing that Mr.. Blakely
was IN efficient officer and that it was
through him that she obtained the appoint
ment. The live reporter was of course
mutually complimentary, and did not for
get to compliment his paper and closed the
s'eeet converse with the sage remark that

Forty-four years ago, Daniel Webster
aptly described the present situation of
Massachusetts,. We take IL, that state
may be described or referred to, in several
ways. For instance, VIC might speak Of 1t
as n certain geographical portion Of terri
tory, or, again, as referring to the whole
people of such territory, or, and very pro-
pcrly tor, as referring to the chosen repre-
scntatves Of that people. Taking then the
senator's and representatives Of the state. in
gene raj court assembled, as The cmbodi-
mcnt thereof, how appropriate were the
words Of the orator, as looking down the
lapse OF wears, he exclaimed "3lass1chu-
-clts, there she stands. From present in
dicstions, it seems probable that che will
continue to ''stand' FOR some time to come.
Perhaps, after all, Webster referred to the
time, forty-fonr years or 50 thereafter,
when Massachusetts would be called upon

ton lac then occupied and would act about

Professor Seeley, having closed most
successful course of lectures TO private
class in chemistry, kindly proposes 10 de-
liver Il more public one at the hail in
Simons' block, on Friday evening Of This
week. In order that all, who attend, may
have m opportunity Of listening, Under
standingly. it has become necessary to limit
the number Of the audience. If we under
stand the matter correctly, the lecture is
free, and the number who can attend
will be some two hundred but information
upon this point can be obtained either from
Mr., Lewis or Mr.. Higgins. The subject Of
the lecture, "I.cavcs, is one of intense In
tcrest, especially at this season Of the year
when the sap begins TO ascend, the buds to
appear and finally the perfect leaf Prof
Sceley understands his subject, and will, as
1t were, talk" TO his auditors IN that famil-
lar, conversational way that is so charm
ing to those who listen. Oar only regret
in this connection, and sc speak from q
personal knowledge Of the Professors
abilities, is that more cannot have an OPP
portunity Of listening to him. Without
any intended ,lisparagcmcnt to others, we
take the responsibility Of thus saying, edi-
torialiy, that one hour of Professor Seelcy's
lecture, Friday evening, will be worth far
more than all the other public lectures de-
liycrcd in Rutland during the present or
past, lecture season put together.

LITANY AND sERMOs.

AT 10. 80 the house was well filled and al
interesting and appropriate service was
held, The opening anthem, "Christ our
Passover by banks, was very fine in it's
chorus effects and contained brilliant
solo for soprano. The Easter anthem,
"Christ the Lord ia risen today" by Henry
Wilson, contained solos for bass, soprano
and alto, and duet for soprano and tenor
The sermon by tho rector was from the
text ii lin. 28:
''Remember that Jesus Christ OF the seed OF
David was raised from the dead according TO
my gospel"
The discourse considered ut length the
Significance and importance of the resur
rection OF Christ, eEumerating many facts
which the day naturally brought to mind.
The resurrection was considered the great
central fact of Christ's history and as neces-
sary to attest His divine power and give
truth to his promises made to His disci-
pies ; also to show that He was able to
save to the uttermost all those who come
unto Him with true faith and repent
ance for sin, and as the act preceding
that time, now arrived when He should
live to make intercession for us. There
was no fact of history better attested than
the resurrection, and the fact might well
cause His people to rejoice on this day and
sing When Thou hadst overcome the
sharpness of DEATH" believing that we arc
made free from condemnation and prepared
TO enter the bliss Of the life eternal. Let
US then, said the preacher, come to the
Holy Communion not with 'the leayen of
malice and wickedness, but with the un-
leavened bread of sincerity and truth T"
This leaven 1t was the design of Lent to
purge away. The rector trusted that the
people had made progress In the right d.
rcction during the Lonten season now past,
that they had all received better views of
the relation between God and man and had
now come to participate with true hearts
In the humble confession and solemn lltany.
AT the conclusion of the service the Holy
Communion was administered.
EVENING SERVICE.
Tho evening was devoted to aseml-choral
service by the children and choir. The
house was alled to Its utmost capacity and
the exercises were highly interesting TO all.

WASHINGTON.

Washington, 20. The President sent the
following message to Congress this afternoon
To the Senate and House of Representatives {:
l respectfully invite attention of congress
to one feature of the bill entitled can act
for the government of the District of Column
bia and for other purposes" Provision is
therein made for the payment of the debts of
the district in bonds to be issued by the sink
ing fund commissioners, running so years
and bearing interest at the rate of 65-l00
per cent per annum, with payment of prnci-
pal and interest guaranteed by the U. S.
Government by which these debts were Gre
ated is abolished and no other provision
seems to be made for their payment. Judg-
ing from transactions in other bonds, there
are good grounds, in my opinion, for appre-
hension that bonds bearing this rate of inter-
est when issued will be worth much less than
their equivalent in the current money of
the U. S. This appears to me to be unjust 10
those by whom these bonds are to be paid, to
the extent of the difference between their
fair and real values, and looks like repudiat-
ing the debts of the district. My opinion is,
that to require creditors of the District of
Columbia to receive these bonds at par, when
it is apparent that to be converted into money
they must be sold at large discount, W i'll not
only prove greatly injurious to the credit of
the district but will reflect unfavorably upon
the credit and good faith of the L. S. l
would recommend, therefore, that provision
be made at the present session of congress to
increase interest upon these bonds. so that
when sold they bring an equivalent in money,
and that the Secretary OF the Treasury be
authorized to negotiate the sale of these
bonds at not less than par and pay proceeds
thereof to those who may be ascertained to
have valid claims against the District of CO.

retailers indicate good demand from consumer
and while there ID no briskeess 10 note, there In
more activity than Is customary 1t the Close Of =
season. There il an increased demand for wool.
lens, and some large orders for nannels have been
given to agents. There is also steady call for
package lots OF most descriptions Of staple fabrics
and values are firmer. There are very few descrip
tions of either cotton or woollen goods that could
be produced for the selling price, and the goods
are regarped as q safe investment.
Brown CottOns are firmly held and the demand
for any brand has been limited to such quantities
as were required for the supply of present wants.
Agents are not forcing sales, and should there be
anything like an active demand from jobbers, prc.
es would improve. Bleaehed Cottons are quiet,
and the sales have been light but there Ii spec
ial change to note In prices. Ticks are inactive.
and the demand, as usual at this season, 10 confn-
ed to singlebale lots smaller quantities to I'LL
orders There is very little inquiry for stripes and
the demand for the most attractive patterns 10
small Denims and Cottonades are not selling ex.
cept in small way. A decline In one or two
makes of fancies early in the week led to large
SAFES in New York, but trade here has not been
briss, and the transactions have been confined to
small saes of new styles, Ginghams are quiet,
and the demand has been in small lots.
Wooens remain without any special change, ex.
cept tnere 10 more demand for Worsteds from the
clothing trade, ami we hear that sales have been
made at prices quite satisfactory to the manufac.
turers.
