To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
An article in to-day's HERALD entitled "Harbor
Improvement" seems to indicate that the oyster
interest OF staten Island. which Is moderated, ia
alone opposing the present plan for improving
the channel between Staten Island and New
Jersey.
This Is a grave mistake. as the large transporta-
ton companies whose tonnage statistics are
paraded from time to time by the friends OF the
present plan are also among the most decided
opposers or this work Those who daily nse the
present natural channel aud will be compelled 10
use the artificial channel IN the same be completed
look upon this matter not as theorists, but aa
practical men, and represent and believe that the
present commercial advantages or the natural
channel VIII be destroyed, and that the so-called
Improvement will disturb the time, place and
manner OF the meeting or the tides, to the great
disadvantage Of commerce.
Upon a iull statement OF both sides OF this mat.
ter congress failed to make the last appropria-
ton asked for. There are more serious conse.
quences attending this work than can be ex-
planned IN this lml ted space. We are right, and
know IL. Respectfully, ANTIDIKER.

DIED-On the 26th ult., Mrs. MARY
EMMA, the wife of Rev. Robert Sloss,
of Titusville.
Mrs. Sloss was born in Richmond.
Indiana. the danghter of William and
Emma Virgins. She was married to
Mr.. Sloss some five years since. while
he was pastor of the Third Presby-
terrain Church of Indianapolis. There
she proved herself to be a true help
meet, and won all hearts to herself.
She was no less successful as pas
tors wife in this city, as the following
resolution shows, passed on the occa-
sion Of her husband's leaving the
pastorate of the Fourteenth Street
Church:
I'VE recognize with great satisfac-
ton the services Of our pastors most
excellent wife. Mrs. Sloss has most
efficiently and charmingly aided her
husband in the Lord work among us,
by her amiable and lovely manner and
spirit, as well as by her most valuable
iabors, causing her to be very dear to
our hearts, g
The people of Titusville were ex.
pecting much from her, as she had al
ready made most favorable impress
sion upon them. But in the midst of
her labors and her hopes, when she
seemed most needed in the family and
in the church, when two little ones
were looking up to her for a mothers
care and love, when she had but
reached her full, ripe womanhood,
she is called up higher, leaving de-
voted husband and numerous friends
to mourn her loss. But she was a
Christian, and death had no terrors.
Her end was peace.-New York
Evangelist.

The following eloquent passage is
clipped from one of Prof. David
Swing recent discourses:
BLESSED are those who await not
the compulsion of some terrible hour,
but who, In the power of manhood or
womanhood, go to God by a calm,
sweet impulse, as human, and as
divine as that which fills our souls
when we seek the friendships and joys
of earth. We can not succeed in this
world without confessing the powers,

Philadelphia has spent enough
money under pretense Of providing
water to have made ample provision
for the wants Of the city for the next
half century. The money has, how
ever, been poured into the usual rat
holes provided in connection with i'm
provements.-Cin Com.
So much Cor the oLD''Quaker City,"
but we trust our little city of the same
plain title. will not initiate its name
sake by trying to 6h ''rat-holes. !"
We hear of projects of purchasing lots
for city buildings, moving little Jail"
there, and numerous other projects
that our "city fathers" have their at
tention directed to. We trust those
economical and retrenching resolu-
tions, endorsed SO heartily by the Re-
publican people" and by the Mayor
elect. will be kept constantly in view.
They are wholesome.
