A PRINTERS FUNERAL SERMON
On Thursday, Feb. 4, John NJ. Har-
Ian, printer and nephew of Sena-
tor Harlan, was killed in Denver un-
der singular circumstances. In
drunken spree, he wandered into
the suburbs of the city, and night
overtaking him, he endeavored to
get into house. The occupants
thinking he was burglar, filled his
body with cold lead, and poor John
Harlan was gathered to bis fathers.
On Friday, the members of the
Typographical Union, to the number
of forty, attended his funeral, when
the following singular sermon was
delivered by the Rev. Mr.. Hearn, an
honorary member of the Union:
Gentlemen of the Typographical
Union, No. 40:- Our brother, Mr..
John Harlan, is dead. His last
.'letter" is "diStributed," his "case"
is "emptied," his "stick" is full, his
last "line' is "spaced OUT" and the
clicking OF the type no more heard
as "stuck" by his hand. A "para-
graph" is made, "period" put in,
his last "proof'' is taken, his "gal-
ley" cleared. His "form' is "made
up" and lies upon the cold "impos-
ing stone" of death. Silent, lifeless.
His faults are set in "brilliant" and
"pied," so that no more .proof' can
be taken. His virtues are set in
"six-line pica," colored, framed and
hung on the wall of memory, never
to be forgotten. Be warned, and be
ready. Correct your "proof."

THE BEECHER TRIAL.-"Burleigh"
writes as follows to the Boston Jour
o,ol. of some of the characters in the
Beecher trial:
"Seats are assigned to the great
actors in the drama now going on at
the Brooklyn Court House. Nobody
takes Mr.. Beecher's chair, whether
present or absent. The personal
friends who attend on Mr.. Beecher
always find their seats vacant when
they come. The flower business hav-
ing been overdone, is abandoned. AS
it was only question of money who
should have the largest bouquet, the
rivalry has soon exploded. Mrs.
Field, the personal friend of Mrs.
Tilton, is large-sized, buxom look
ing woman. She keeps up a lively
chat with her protege. and the two
have a merry time of it, more gay
than decorous, which even Mrs.
Tilton's fan cannot hide. Mrs.
Beecher has a look of anxious in-
quiry, which never leaves her.
Mr.. Beecher wears look of weari.
ness, exhaustion, fatigue. He occu-
pies the same seat and almost the
same angle, day by day. He scrib-
bles little on paper he holds in
his hand, evidently without pur-
pose; looks up occasionally, but
usually watches the testimony with
an averted look. The witness of the
century is Frank Moulton. He is
perfect study. One would suppose
that half the court room was filled
with his friends. He has a perfect
ovation from the private room of the
Judges to the witness stand. On
reaching his chair he takes off his
coat, and seems like a man prepar-
ing for days work of which he is
entire master. His politeness is in
exhaustible, and is the most pro-
voking thing about him. His air is
not exactly jaunty air nor defiant
air; but the attitude he puts on is
sort of "catch me if you can, gentle
men," 1t is difficult to conceive how
Bowen can be kept out of this mat
Ter. The testimony is perfectly as
founding that connects him with the
case,. and unless controlled will
make Brooklyn hot place for Mr..

The grand banquet which was given at
London to the municipalities of England and
the Continent seems to have been a very sue
cessful affair. Most of the European cities
were represented and the banquet was IN
every way creditable to the metropolis of the
world. In gatherings such as this there is
much of the new-found spirit of the age. The
policy of isolation is passing away among
cities as we'll as among States. There is dis
position on the part of most communities to
cultivate friendly relations with similar COM
nunities everywhere, and In no way can this
spirit be disseminated more effectively than
by entertainments such as the Lord May or
extended to the municipalities last night. 1t
was in every way worthy of great city and
great people, andfs another step toward ce-
menting the civilization of the age. Our only
regret in regard to the matter is the absence
of Mayor Wickham from an ENTER
tainment SO important. In many ways
he could have served this metropolis
at the Lord Mayors banquet. Tammany
Hall is an organization that has been heard of
in London sometimes to its discredit, and the
Mayor could have shown what gentle braves
frequent the Wigwam. AS the representative
of the whole people of this city the Long Hairs
and the Short Hairs would have been com
PEELED to confess that he did them honor.
John Kelly and John Morrissey would both
have been proud of him as their special
ambassador, and they might even have been
persuaded to accompany. him. With all the
''bosses" of New York sitting down to dinner
with the Lord Mayor and the other mayors
there would have been no trouble in Tam
many, for there would have been neither time
nor inclination for a quarrel. We are sure
Mayor Wickham, when he reads the account
of the banquet in the HERALD this morning,
will be sorry that he refrained from partici-
pating in it, and when we consider what evil
might have been averted thereby we confess
that we also are sorry.

would weigh the offence against the provoea-
tion very nicely. Parliament is evidently too
conscious OF public opinion, perhaps too well
aware OF the facts, not to know that the gov
eminent announcement was great error, and
one that could only lead to unfortunate COM
ment, and that Mr.. Plimsolfs words were
scarcely stronger than the case called for.
Mr.. Disraelis motion to discharge the order
for a reprimand, made in the face of an apol-
ogy that was virtually defiance, showed an
adroit readiness to recognize the true state of
the case
But as this case recurs to its merits, as the
point of privilege gives way to the issue of
humanity, the British public will find them
selves in presence of very new dilemma
peculiarly unprecedented defeat of the gov
eminent Mr.. Disraeli has been beaten;
not on formal vote in Parliament but in
way far more destructive to his prestige as the
head Of the government and the head OF
party that hopes for public confidence in the
wisdom anj propriety of its acts. He has been
compelled to give way on position which he
had deliberately taken as the wisest in the
circumstances, and so acknowledges that his
wisdom was at fault. He declared the pro-
gramme of the government was to abandon
any attempt to remedy the grievance that Mr.
Piimsoll fights against and the government
SO committed, has been compelled to consent
to the introduction and further consideration
OF bill on the subject that it deemed it mex
pedient to deal with. There never was a
more distinct moral victory against govern
ment, and the fact that one man, supported
by public opinion, has defeated the Premier's
project of government policy, indicates at
least that the government is gravely at issue
with prevalent opinion on one important

sections. In some places the harvests were
injured and the rains were so severe that por-
tons of the country are submerged. Before
reaching this latitude both wind and rain had
lost much of their force; but even here the
storm gheatly exceeded the usual severity of
summer showers. The phenomenon is re-
markable one, occurring as it does at an I'M
usual season and in so many countries about
the same time. We have to congratulate our
selves, however, upon the fact that the rain
fall IN Ohio and Pennsylvania, though doing
much injury to property, has been the occa-
sion of little or no loss of life and that we
have been compelled to undergo none of the
horrors which accompanied the devastations

Enrlish and American Credit.

One of our contemporaries hastens to deny
with scorn the rumor that the Union Bank of
London has failed. Such rumor it con-
siders as being productive of limited de-
gree of amusement" The promptness with
which any assault upon the credit of an Eng
lish house is met shows that in the press of
New York the interest of this great COM
mercial people are protected with zeal and
LOYALTY which America sadly misses in the
press of London. Our contemporary forgets
that there has been in England, and in Lon
don especially, a series of failures, and those
very recently infinitely more disastrous than
than that of Duncan, Sherman & Co. Two
merchants who, few days ago, were at the
head OF one of the largest houses in London
are now on trial at the Old Bailey for embez-
element Scarcely a week passes that we
do not hear of large failures in England.
Our latest financial journals are filed
with apprehensions of what may be the
effect OF these disasters upon public credit
1t is unfair to make an invIdious distinction
between business as conducted in England
and America. This constant tendency to
hold up everything English as honest and to
imply that everything American is tainted is
unjust and cruel we are no better and no
worse than the English. We have merchants
who deal honestly with the people, and we
have others who by excessive speculation, or
by foolish ventures, or by miscaculation, fall
into bankruptcy and embarrassment. We
have Jay Gould and the Erie Railway, Lon
don has Baron Albert Grant and other rail-
ways as wretchedly managed as the Erie If
we have corruption in our politics we have
only to turn to the debates in Parliament to
find the existence of corruption in English
boroughs source Of the grayest concern to
the minds Of honest statesmen. There is
Just as much reason to look with suspicion
upon English houses, and even upon English
banks like the Union Bank, as there is to
question the integrity and soundness of our
leading houses in New York.

funny, the government is in full accord with
them. We publish this address in another

The PRINCIPAL FEATURE IN RAPID TRANSIT
Yesterday was the introduction offs new project
by the Messrs. Cornell for an elevated road,
the plan of which appears to be simple and to
answer the requirements. The Commission
ers express their Intention in examining the
several propositions, to take into considera-
ton the important question of capital. 1t is,
of course, essential that the plan of construc-
ton determined upon shall be one that will
command the confidence of capital, and it will
be an important element of success should
protector be in a condition to pledge the
amount necessary to build his road The
propositions that are thus backed are the
Gilbert, the Williams & Catherwood, the
Meyers q Wldmayer, the Evans, the
Brandon, the Morris and the Cornell The
Gilbert states that the company is ready
to subscribe the capital if allowed to build the
road. The Williams & Catherwood project
is backed by capitalists who were prepared to
build it three years ago had il secured a char
ter at that time. The projectors of the Meyers
& Widmayer and the Cornell plans declare
their readiness to provide the necessary funds
for construction. There is little doubt that
with desirable route and practicable plan,
the required capital will easily be secured
