At the conclusion OF the first gospel The Rev.
Father McCready occupied he pulpit and preached
telling sermon on tine characteristics OF the Sa-
viour, as portrayed IN the parable OF

The pastoral figure which Is carried through the
gospel OF to-day IS extremely significant. The
title OF pastor or shepherd from the duties which
IL Involves toward the mock, winch are enumer rated
by the Good Shepherd Himself, and which lie, In
so transcendent a manner discharged, Is emf
nently appropriate to tue king and pastor Of our
souls. There is. perhaps, no avocaton in lie so
emDie matte OF simplicity, guileIess innocence and
purity as that OF the shepherd tenalng his nOck.

BROOKLYN RING SUITS.

There but little that 'new developed IN the
prosecution OF the alleged delinquent officials and con-
tractors OF Brooklyn yesterday. Mr. Parsons, who is
TO represent the Attorney General in the suits to
5000 900 alleged to have been wrongfully alb
straced from tho treasury of Brooklyn, has rot the
necessary papers yet ready that the property OF the
accused has not yet been attached Meanwhile the
Taxpayers Association is busily endcavorng to
raise the funds requisite to fee counsel.
This would appear to be rather "up-hill work. :"
If all efforts fail to obtain subscriptions to defray the
cost OF litigation they will apply to the Legislature for
appropriation That body, they say, cannot turn
deaf TO their appeal They claim TO have fifty
bers who we'll to do, but though they have jointly
given 81 500 IL is not to be expected that they to
se Issf Mr. Parsons 1np owing 10 the
pressure OF private business, will not be
able 70 prepare the papers IN the suits against
Bliss and J. E LAWYER; Contractors William A. Kings
ley, Abncr Keeney and Chief Engineer julius Adams,
before next week. The gentlemen named, who are
threatened with the erros of the law and the conscs
ton of their possessions, complain through their
merona counsel, that they are "hghing spirits sum
moned from the vasty deep" they summon, but the
spirits being discmbodied do not appear The counsel
for tho defendants are most anxious, they say, TO
learn in detail the particulars Of tho Indictment
against which they will have TO contend. II
