1fr. HAnR1soN has got through amending
the Constitution Of The United States for tho
present, md Inns turned his attention for tho
nonco to mntters ut home. 1Ie has intro
tluced tho following bill

Tho City Of Chicago to havo snd to bold the satup
to tho SAIL City Of Chicago mud its assigns forever.
The bill covers all that part OF the Lako
Park lying north Of Madison street, which is
tho southern limo Of fractional Sec. 10.
Tho investigation into tho title Of this scc-
ton l1as led somo Of tho lawyers to beliovo
that tho City Of Chicago has no title in this
section whatever, though tho railroads wero
willing to pay tho city $500, 1000 for n mere
quit-clnin,, which would in no way lavo iu-
volved the city, either rs to warrant Of tho
titlo or subsequent damages on any account,
If this il true, it shows two things, viz. !:
~ Tint the Aldermen of Chicago betrayed
tho best interests Of the city in refnsing to
give gnit.claim to property which 1t could
not hold in any event; and {2) that n grant
of this property from the United 8tAtes
would in Some measure atone for tho folly
of our Chicago Aldermen by improving

much to produce them that it was hardly any
groator los to let them rot, rlst, mud decay,

cept tho United States, m interruption Of tho
home market would be met by an immediate
shipment to foreign countries. we had not

1873 there las been m avoidance Of surplus

there are two millions out OF employment.

It reduced fraud to a lcgalizcd science, aud

from the Appropriations Committee where |
he Ind served so long with advantage to tho |
public, has scarcely achieved tho purpose |
which actuRtcd it. Instead Of ayailing them |
selves Of Mr.. GARr1gLps wisdom and expo- [
ricnce in tho Conamittee-room, tho Demo-
crntio majority in tho House must now en-
counter Mr. GAnr1KLp's criticisms on the
floor. Ho hns recently exposed the injustice
aud short-sightodness o{ tho Consular and
Diplomatic Appropriation bill reported by tho
Democrats, who, in order to carry out their
pretense Of rotronotunsnt, aro crippling the
foreign sorvice IN Aomo Of its most essontial
pointa. Tho Domocrnta hnvo pnt forth
this bill as it tho foreign service he'd
been conducted In the most extravagant
and layish manner BY the Republicans,
whercns Mr. GARFIELD shows that tho
present salaries vera fixed and the present
eyatem adopted in 1866, when the Democratic
party WAS and hRd beeu for years in full pos
session Of all branches Of tho General Gov
crnment, and before tho Republican party
had obtained control of any part Of tho public
service. From 1908 up to 1861, whom the
change was made, tho diplomatic Rorvice Ind
boon conducted in tho looHeat manner 80 fur
| as compensation was concerned. There waa
| then not only sa1ary, but m allowance for
| o1ltft and init, which made tho average
| Arst-class mission cost tho Government about
s28, 600 year. Tho practics Of IN allow
ance OF ono years salary upon appointment
was sllamefully abused. One person MP
pointed to foreign mission drew his years
salary, went to paris, apent the money In
dissipation, aud returned home without
oven visiting tho Court to which lo
lad bcon assigned. Another never left
his State, but drew years pay
for an outfit, and In few months reaigned.
These nbuses wero corrected by abolishing
all allowances aud fixing tho salary of first
class missions at $17,50D and others proper
tionately less. This was over twenty years
ago, aud since TINT time the expense Of living
iu Europe has incroased from 30 to 80 per
cent; yet there has bcen no increase in tho
pay, but, on the contrary, certain reduction
in tho expenses BY substituting salaries for
Consular fees which apply on tho general e1-
pense, andalso by tho consolidation Of certain
missions Of minor importance. It Ia on this
account that tha Democratic protenBe of
economizing Is but poorly attcstod when
good opportunities arc passed by to mike
some insignificant saving In branch Of Tho
service that has boon as economically admin
iatered during and since tho War Is it WIGS

finely rendered by the Choral Society OF the
Parish. consisting of some fifty voices, IN
der the direction of Mr.. A. j. Phillips. MI.
E. NJ. Read presided at the organ with ms
accustomed skill. The clergy present were
Bishop Bissell, the Revs. Messrs. bliss,
Graves. and the Rector of the Parish, rev
E. R. Atwill, who preached the sermon.
Mr.. ATwILL's SERMON.
The subject of the discourse was the prop
or use of Gods gifts. The text was I. lin
othy, ", and 5 For every creature OF
God Is good. and nothing to be refused, II
it be received with Thanksgiving Tor II Is
sanctifed by the word of God and prayer.
The speaker remarked that the measure
of our thanks for Gods mercies was in
proportion to the perfection OF our hves.
Man cannot create be can only use that
which is created and the character OF TINS
use was the true test of his appreciation oil
" hat be received. Gratitude to God is not
simply duty, it is also blessing to our
selves. He then spoke of the unballowed
spirit of our day-as shown at the times
which are especially devoted BY us TO na-
tional boasting. Thsnkfulness to GOD Tor
all our mercies is too often the last thing
thought of. Let then ''all the people praise
Him." and help in the great
work Of making ''all the ends
of the earth TO fear Him.
Where has there ever been people so call
ed to fulfill this duty as our own nation
The Lord House should be established by
US ION the top of the mountains" we
should bless Him for our national existence;
for the glory and lessons of our completed
century; for the enjoyment Of civil and re-
ligicus liberty for our means OF education
and intelligence. In applied science what
has not been accomplished, IN producing
and peifecting inventions Tor which the
the whole world owns itself our debtor
How does the intellect OF our children
range among the solid mysteries OF the
past and the wonders of the universe
When Morse, thirty years ago, sent
over the wires from Washington to
Baltimore, his message What hath
God wrought, the words meant
more for him than for those then ignorant
of the wonders that were opened to him;
and day " day SIS We learn more and more,
the words grow more intensely significant
True intelligence. the learning of what God
hath wrought. is bat foTetaste OF Heaven.
v here the intellect will roam among other
vCrlds and see yet more convincing proofs
Of His power.
Mr.. Atwil concluded his able sermon
with an earnest appeal to his hearers to be
thankful 70 God for our calling in Christ
Jesus lie i the sum Of all our blessings
Let u. then, aswe gather here, bind our
selves il a league against all sin, and
marching onward under the Great Leader
of our sa.ystion to striveagainst the world,
the fle>h and the deyl and continue Christ's
faithful soldiers and servants unto our
lies end.
