Sunday morning | paid another visit to
Plymouth church, and through the aid of
friend, who is pew-holder, was able to get
seat near the pulpit, or rather the low plat
form which takes the place OF a pull pit in that
church. The pressure at the door as we en-
tered equalled the crush at the Jenny Lind
concerts III the height OF her renown, and
while some 5000 persons were accommo-
dated somehow in room that seats about
$500, there were, perhaps, as many more out
side unable TO get admission. The church,
like the lecture room, is exceedingly plain
and unpretending in color, ornamentation
and furniture. Walls of the plainest white or
drab; an organ with pipes of sober hue; all
served to carry out the general idea of severe
simplicity. And somewhat to my surprise
the congregation was in keeping with the
plain simplicity of the church. l had the
idea, derived, perhaps, from the prices paid
for pews, or from the fact that some of the
merchant princes of New York civ and
Brooklyn belong to the church, that it was
wealthy and fashionable Congregation
But don't think ever saw a METROPOLITAN
congregation where so little dressiness or
fashion display met the eye. Perhaps the
crowd, and where the interest i'm the
preacher is so absorbing rs TO distract atten-
ton from new bonnets and fine Clothes
But / am told that the congregation
is really what IL looks to be, and is COM
posed mainly of people in moderate circum-
stances. The high prices paid in premiums
for a few choice pews enables the church au-
thorities 10 put the rent of the average seats
at a moderate rate; and some seven hundred
free seats are also provided. When Plymouth
Church was TO be erected, Mr.. Beecher pu

A French correspondent, writing from

sorts. The people" properly so.called,

have three separate ranks among them

it Is necessary to distinguish accurately
between the glasses. A shop keeper,
who occasionally supplies the royal
coffee pot subscribes himself Mr.. Pur-
Veyor to the court. The depots are
thronged with "conseryators," "expedi-

SPECIAL NOTICE.

CoSsUMPTIvEs, TAKE NorIcE.-Every mo-
ment Of delay makes your cure more hope
less, and much depends on the judicious
choice of a remedy. The amount of testi-
mony in favor of DR.. Schenck's Pulmonic
Syrup, as n cure for consumption. far exceeds
all that can be brought to support the preten-
sions of any other medicine. See DR..
schenck's Almanac, containing the certif-
Gates Of many persons of the highest respeota-
bility, who have been restored to health, after
being pronounced incurable by physicians of
acknowledged ability. Schenck's Pulmonic
Syrup alone has cured many, as these evi.
dences will show; but the cure is often pro-
NOTED by the employment Of two other RENE
dies which Or. Schenck provides for the pur-
pose. These additional remedies are Schenck's 8
Sea Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills. BY the
timely use Of these medicines, according to
directions, DR.. Schenck eertifes that most
any case Of consumption may be cured.
DR.. Schenck is professionally at his princi-
pal Office, corner Sixth and Arch streets,
Philadelphia, every Monday. where all letters
for advice must be addressed.

II is asserted rs fact that every canvasser
who has turned his attention TO the introduc-
tion of the New Family Sewing Machine in
his locality, or who has been fortunate enough
TO secure an agency, has outstripped the best
efforts In making money of the old and tried
agents OF tne hlgn- priced machines which
latter they now replace. The demand is enor-
NOUS, and sales so rapid and money made so
readily with so little effort that Farmers
Iradesmen, SpeculatOrs. ETC., are hocking
into the business as fast as they can secure
territory and get their goods on the ground to
supply anxious customers. 1t Is marvellous
how these machines sell when exhibited, il
being recognized fact that people will buy
the best at the lowest price. II certainly Is
the Machine Of the times and does the same
work as other Machines at $50 OF $50, and we
really believe 1t would sell just rs readily at
double and then not cost half the usual price
of so good on article, for it is astonishing to
low cost. The inventors are daily inu ldated
with testimonials of the worth Of their
new Machines which so suddenly and
successfully bounded into popular favor.
1t proves to be just what is wanted
every day, by every one, everywhere, who
have family. II has attained an enviable
reputation in many thousands Of homes and
factories, for its solid strength, power. rapid
ity, simplicity. certainty and ease of opera
tion, with extreme beauty, fneness and relia-
bility Of its sewing while the wonderful low
price Twenty Dollars for Large and Com
plete Sewing Machine with a strong table and
treadle), places all idea Of competition en-
tirely out Of the question. II stands alone in
its merits and price We advise you to invest
in one at once for your Wife, Daughter,
Mother. Sister or Lady Friend and mako a
home happy, or put them in your factory. OF
what is better, if you are lucky enough, secure
an agency, if there is none ia your town, and
make money yourself. Tho many New At.
tachments for doing extra fine, skillful and
| difficult work, are a surprise In their simple
ity of construction and far below even grange
prices, and will be delivered safely at you
door, no matter how remote you may reside

these two towns in contending Tor the
honor OF having been the scene Of the
first fight of the war OF the Revolution

Frederick Hudson, the well-known

Lexington returned the British fire.
