The interest evinccd in Brooklyn over
the forthcoming visit Of MOODY aud sANKEY is
hopefl siSn. Numberless prayer meetings
are neld daily to prepare tue people for their
advent. Not u few sermons were preached about
II Yesterday and the sunday before. Ia this way
the ground Is getting prepared for them, 50 that
they may reap the harvest soon after they begin
their labors. Never before, In any place, were
there such extensive preparations for their ap-
pearancc. Never was such interest displayed in
their work In advance. Never did they enter "a
city where tho multitudes We're more anxious
for their success. Never, so far as we know,
were there sucn good prospects for an expected
revival. Scores OF clergymen Will aid them in
every possible way SAINTS and sinners will ex-
ult in their triumphs. Multitudes will flock to
their morning meetings, their afternoon meet
ings, and their evening meetings not only On
Sundays but on week days. 1t Is grevous to
know that they intend TO remain only a week In
Brooklyn; but, perhaps when the Philadel-
phians see the victories which they are winning,
they will consent TO a change Of programme, by
which the evingell5ts can remain In Brooklyn
TIL their work Is completed. and the city Is de-
liyered from the powers Of darkness. While thus
expressing our satisfaction at the preparations
making for them, and the welcome awaiting
them in Brooklyn, we must aga ain reprehend the
Brooklyn papers for their negligence or luke
warmness in view Of the approach Of the reyi-
Waists. 1t is a strange phenomenon. When
everybody else in Brooklyn is interested, the
papers Of the city are almost wholly uncon-
cerned. II the wicked editors care nothing for
the work OF MOODY and SANKEY, they should at
least realize that It Is a part of the news OF the
day They must be aroused within the present
week, which Is all the time that remains for
preparation. Perhaps It would DO well for the
Clergy OF Brooklyn to call upon them In a body,
and demonstrate with them. II the editors
feel themselves morally incapable of writing
articles suitable for tho OCCASION, the CLERGY
might agree to MI up their columns, every
dpY, with proper material. Then tho people
would find their papers fun OF arguments and
appeals backing up those Of the evangellsts. We
are not afraid of the effect OF such a course
upon the influence or circulation OF THE SUN
In Brooklyn. We would rather welcome such CO.
operation. Let the clergy of Brooklyn consider
the condition Of the press Of the place, and
ilsomethng cannot he done to stir up Its editors.
1t seems impossible for European manu-
facturors OF Cashmere shawls to attain TO the
perfection OF the Oriental article, nor is this to
be wondered at when the fact Is considered that
In the production OF tho richest specimens OF
tho lattor scarcely a quarter of an inch Is com
pleted by three persons in one day. Sometimes,
however, In order to hasten the process, shawl
Is made In separate pieces at different looms,
and the pieces afterward sewed together,
this being done with such marvellous dexterity
as almost TO defy detection. The shawls are
made both long and square, the former gene
rally measuring four and one-half feet wide,
and twelve and one-half feet long, and the latter
ave and one-fourth TO SIX feet square. IL ID well
