The only complaint which comes

But it may be said that, although

1t rivals broeade in lustre, and cotton in
service, while it is now made to resemble
wool h finish and comfort. The heavy
furniture brocades and tapestries, used in
art furnishings, which look like silk and
wooden, are, one is surprised to learn, of
linen, durable, and what is worth every
other consideration, wholesome as they
will not absorb dust and bad odors as reps
and brocatelle always do. The Venetian
carpets, largely made of fax, are handsome
as the choicest patterns of brussels, and
wear wonderfully while they keep clean and
sweet longer than wool carpets can. Fine
mixed cotton and linen lawns are sold at
the low price of 80 cents yard, and make
most comfortable underwear for summer,
while for dresses they do up like new every
time they pass through the laundress
hands.
RELIGIOUS.
Moody and Sankey have gone, and the
ministers of the city churches have under
taken to carry on the work that they began.
That is to say, they are endeavoring TO run
revivals on their own hook, in the same
manner that the eYangelists did. They
have employed better singers than Sankey,
to sing Sankey's songs, and as they all
think they are better orators than Moody,
they believed they could carry on the work
better than did these men. They have all
failed. The fact is they may preach better
than Moody, and their paid singers may
sing better than Sankey, but it don't
amount to a straw. They have not the
soul in it that the evangelists had, and
soul is what counts. Moody and Sankey
were in earnest, they believe in what they
are doing, and they were successful. They
agonized; they never ate or slept while at
their work, and having no clap-trap or
nonsense about il, they did good every
where; revivals by machiney won't do, and
never did and never will. II won't answer
to put an opera singer in the place of San
key, for while he may be better singer
than Sahkey, he will sing it as an opera
and not as a man who feels that he is re-
spOnsible for the salvation of men. 1t is
sad, but it is true that with the going of the
evangelists, the interest in religious mat
ters in the city is gone. New York viii

going, rents are falling day by day, thous-
ands upon thousands are out Of employ

Perhaps it is as well, forbig cities are great

The General Conference of the NJ. E.
Church, at Baltimore, will be specially in
teresting, as modification of the presid-
ing eldership is likely to occupy much of
its time. The elders are now appointed by
the Bishops. The advocates of change
want them elected by the Conference in
which they are stationed. The modiica-
ton is resisted on the grounds, among 9th
ers, that it destroys the analogy which now
exists between their mode of designation
and that of the preachers, and that the in
-noyation will increase the strength of the
popular element in the church, thus de-
stroying the existing balance between the
clerical and lay elements. As may be sup
posed, this increase is the very thing which
the opposite party desire.

The question Of liquor-selling continues
to trouble the Centennial managers. They
are between two fres-their obligations to-
ward parties who have paid large sums for
leases and privileges which viii greatly
diminish in produetiveness if iquor-selling
is excluded, and the temperance element
in the Centennial Commission and Board
of Finance. The foes of beer and wine
have raked up an old forgotten statute
which prohibits the sale Of intoxicating
beverages within the boundaries Of Fair

buildings are situated, and insist that the
law is peremptory on the point.

Hardly a doubt remains in the mind of
any intelligent observer, as to the purpose
and object of the numerous Congressional
Investigations now in progress. It is too ap-
pareut for cavil or question, that it is for
the manufacture of political capital. and
that the exposure and reform of abuses
the ostensible obiect-has very little to do
with the procedure. If such doubt had
any existence, it could scarcely hold in the
face of the action of the Democratic House
on Monday last, in sanctioning secret ses-
sions of the various Investigating Commit
tees and in authorizing the Withholding of
their reports according as the interests of
the party shall dictate. The question
whether the investigations shall be secret
ly or publicly conducted was brought be-
fore the House In resolution offered by
Mr.. Hale, of Maine, requiring publicity in
every case. It was at once made party
question, and the defeat of Mr. Hale's pro-
position, which was supported by the solid
Republican vote, and by Messrs. Lamar,
Randall and Holman alone of the other
side, was followed by the introduction Of a
resolution by Mr.. Morrison, making it dis
cretionary with the committees to hold
public or secret sessions-in short, estab-
fishing the star-chamber policy. Mr.. Nor
rison's resolution was adopted by strict
party vote, and the committees were thus
given full license to run their slander-mills
in the dark and peddle out their grists in
such shape as shall best serve the party
purpose.

The crooked whisky business has been
carried on of late inan old tannery at OF
ter Greek, Mercer Co., Pa, by a man by
the name of Allison. The other day, the
Government becoming advised of the fact,
sent detective to look into the matter
The presence of the officer caused no little
excitement, and Allison started for home,
and missing his set of false teeth, came to
the conclusion that he had swallowed them.
He clutched his throat to prevent their
getting into his feed basket, reached home,
took to his bed and sent for his doctor The
plan suggested to that functionary was, if
the plate could not be forced back into his
mouth, an opening should be made in the
gullet for its removal. The doctor made a
close examination of the case to ascertain
the exact locality of the obstruction, and
found it in the patients pontaloons pocket,
where it had been unconsciously placed in
the excitement. The story, If known, it
was thought, would be rather rough joke.
SOFAS good luck would have it, carbunkle
appeared in good time on the back Of his
neck, and the story has gone out that the
teeth are working through apOsteTori.

nall the statements concerning Chinese
immigration there is strain of exaggera-
ton which is apparently inseparable from
the discussion. It was solemnly resolved
at mass meeting in San Francisco last
month, that there were two hundred thous-
and Chinese in California, of whom seven
ty-fve thousand were in San Francisco.
Senator Sargent puts the number in the
State at sixty thousand, and the Chinese
population of San Francisco at thirty
thousand This is an enormous diserepan-
ey; and even the Senator's more moderate
estimate is probably above the real figures.
He readily adopts the term 'sCoolie" as ap-
plicable to the bulk of Chinese immigrants;
and he says that nine-tenths of the males
who come are Illegally imported. This is
an assertion the value of which is not read
lily aseertainable. It is contradicted by
many well-informed people. And if it be
true that expectation of coolies from China
to the United States is now going on, it is
difficult to see how an abrogation of the
Buriingame treaty will reach the difficult
ty. The trade is at Hong Kong; and Hong
Kong is British port.-lN. Y. Times.
