scripture passage, 81 am the light of the

Christ assumes TO hold Il position in re-

SUI to the world, giving light and life.
What the world would be without the
sun, such would the soul be without
Christ. Can this claim be justified ? The
speaker expressed his purpose to vindcate
this claim, not in all its bearings, but in
the one aspect that Christ is light in
his own person, and said that in the per.
sonal history of Chris. are answers to
many of the problems OF human life.
The speaker asked, first, Is there, in

Fall River, Aug. 3.-About fifteen
thousand operatives are Idle, and prob
ably will be for the mex. thirty days,
although rumors prevail that work
will be resumed in a week A great
deal OF dissatisfaction exists, but many
are willing to go to work, including a
large part of the spinners, who here
tofore acted almost as a unit. How
long the mills will remain closed It is
impossible to say, and the manufactur-
ers say that they do not know them
selves. The storekeepers have given
notice that If they can afford to take a
vacation of thirty days they can afford
to pay cash for their goods, and that
no credit will he given until they re-
sumo work. Every mill is closed with
the exception of the Stafford, which
will soon close.

all points along the Baltimore & Ohio
Railroad, between this city and Graf

slowly, but will not reach over 2S feet.
There has bsen but little rain to-day.

has been saved by the fine weather.
We may yet have moderate harvest
in good order. The upward movement
has stopped, and prices aiave rrlupsed,
partly in consequence of the foreign
arrivals, which are unusually free, but
the current rates will scarcely reach
the average, and are still below those
of last year. The harvest In France

lamp cbimneys and other once fragile
ware will soon set in. NJ. Francois de-
Ia Bastie, French engineer, after years
OF inquiry. has found that glass heated
to certain temperature and passed for
a moment through prepared oil, also
heated. loses its brittleness, becoming
SO tough that an s OF iron weight, fall,

four feet. only bounded Of. Thin wa.
ter-glasses. or plates thrown across a
room against a wall. fell spinning on
the floor. When, however, the glass
does break. it breaks all at once into at
oms, and the GLACIERS diamond makes
no impression on it. 1t can, however,
be cut with the wheel, and sone simple
method of cutting will speedily be de,
vised. when the glass may be used for
the commonest as we'll as the most elab.
orate purposes. As yet the new invsn-
had not been introduced into public
use. 1t is said that it will be first tried
in stained glass windows; but if it is at
all equal to what it is represented and
the price is not too high. it must sooH

has daily mail and is made TIE dis.
tributing Office for all the country Dor
dering upon Puget Sound north OF that
point. Seattle, with a population num-
bering nearly three thousand sous:
with commerce greater than the ag-
gregate of all the other ports upon

lures of sea-going vessels aggregating
nearly two thousand year; the central
point from which diverge the mail routes
and routes Of travel to either side Of
the Sound and the interior; has but
three mails week. at irregular inter-
walls.
The distance frem Tacoma to Seattle
is less than thirty miles by water, and
the extra expense of increasing the SER

will be far less than the public advan~
