SUNDAY SERVICES.

CATHEDRAL OF IMMACULATE CONCEPTION.
Bishop Healey delivered the sermon yester-
day on the festival of st. Peters chains. The
Lord of Nature, he said shows that all of its
laws are subject to Him, and He can thange
them at His will. In regard to this festival
there are two principal points. First, ST. Peter
was bound with chains; second, they are pre-
served to this day. The traveller who visits the
church dedicated to the chains of st. Peter, at
Rome, will be struck with its unpreposs;ng ap-
pearance, yet it is memorable one. The Chris
tian world would ask when it was built, and
would learn that in the fifth century devout
empress of Constantinople upon visiting Rome
was shown the chains which bound st. Peter at
Rome. She had then brought the chains which
bound st. Peter at Jerusalem, and dedicated
the church to commemorate these events. The
Reverend Bishop said that he himself saw
these chains. Some will smile and say this is a
remnant of superstition, but it is by traditions
like these that our faith is handed down to us.
These are the chains which the early fathers
of the church pronounced more beautiful than
gold and jewels. "reminiscences like these
festivals are highways or the pathway of time
They show the legitimate authority of the
church of Christ. Mark with what devotion
the church has preserved these relics. The
successor of st. Peter is to-day held in prison
by Christian keeper Victor Emanuel does
this because the people tell him to. Under the
same authority Pilot and Herod committed
crimes. In these instances enemies of the church
have laid sacrligious hand upon the property
of God. He who sent his angel and struck the
chains from Peter will deliver his church. The
Holy Fathers have bound the Christian world
to Him and made Him the object Of our SYM
patty May God look down upon the world.
May He release us from the chains which bind
us, and may we 10 the mercy of God inherit
eternal life

The Repair of Stale street,

The petitioners for the repair of State st. have
no quarrel with any railroad, and they ask that
their cause may not be prejudiced by any quar-
rel amongst railroads. To put the street in
order, as asked for, requires the repair of a
tract of street about as long as an Allan steam
er. The part falling to the railroad is less than
the average width of Middle street. The
original plan of the railroad was as is we'll
known, to have a stone arch for the bridge and
an earth fill above it, as at Clark street. This
would be entirely satisfactory. It would OBJ
viate any difficulty with ice, which has been
suggested as likely to give trouble on PLANK
bridge. Once done it would be for an indef-
mite time, and would be creditable and sub
stantial work. In view of the use of the
street for seventy years, of its convenience as
direct route to the depots, and one not exposing
horses to the sight of cars and engines; in view
of the great use even now made of the street
with only one narrow footwalk upon it, in view
of the elegant improvement to be made by
extending the street proper with the other side
walk, and the walls through to Commercial
street, and the depots of four railroads. it seems
extraordinary that any parties should oppose
the repair: so especially when the statute is
imperative requiring the maintenance of streets
in condition suitable-for travel, when permits
sion to cut the street was originally given only
upon condition that bridge be built without
delay, and three years have already elapsed.

MANY who are suffering from the effects of the
warm weather and debilitated are advised by ply
scians to take moderate amounts of whiskey two or
three times during the day. In little while those
who adopt this advice frequently increase the num-
Der of "drinks," and in time become confirmed in
ebriates. A beverage which will not create thirst
for intoxicating liquors, and which is intended espe-
caly for the benefit of debilitated persons whether
at home or abroad, is DR.. Schencks Sea Weed Tonic.

preparation does not create appetite for the in

BASE BALL.-Although there were no games
of base ball of Importance played in this
vicinity Saturday, YET there was considerable
| activity in base ball circles. The Dry Goods
went to Biddeford and played game with the
DirgQs of that city, beating them easily-46 to
T. A large number of persons were in attend
ance. The interest that had been manifested
| il the game rapidly died out after the second
| inning, as it was evident the Bddeforl boys
were busted. The Dirgos played weak game,
| though we must give them the credit Of work
ing hard The Dry Goods played good field
| ing game until near the end, when by little
loose playing their opponents were enabled to
score several runs. By far the best feature of
the game was the splendid batting of the Dry
Goods, two and three base hits seeming to be
the -ule, and one base hits the exception.
The Eons got away with the Alcyons to the
tune of II to s.
The Resolutes, or part Of them, were prac-
Using on their grounds at the Park with the
Haymakers, and show some good fielding.
This week two Of the very best amateur clubs
of Massachusetts-the Graftons and the Live
Oaks-wil visit Portland and play the Reso-
lutes. The Graftons will play Wednesday, and
the Live Oaks Thursday, probably. There is
good deal of curiosity among those who patron
ize base ball matches to see these two noted
clubs play. Both claim to be THE club of their
state, and judging from the four games they
have played together this season, the Graftons
would appear to be the better club, as they
have won two, lost one, and one tied. The
Graftons are strong batting and fine fielding
nine, aad the Resolutes will have to play
good game or they will get another dose of
Lynn medicine. If they will play as sharp a
game as they did with the Lowells, however
they need not fear for the result The two
games to be played this week will be watched
with much interest by the friends of the Reso-
lutes, as they are the most important games
they have ever played, and will go far toward
settling some undecided questions liz base ball
circles.
