The Rev. Joseph Cooks Monday noon
lecture in Boston is well attended, though
one Of Mr.. Moody's meetings is held at the
same time. The Congregationqllst OF Bos-
ton reports ~" The appointment OF q
prayer-meeting at Park Street church, to De
conducted by Moody and sankey at the
same hour with Mr. Cooks lecture at IRE
mont Temple, was looked upon with some
misgiying by few. The doors Of park- =,
Street church have to be closed against the
crowd fifteen minutes before u, and Tre-
mont Temple, nearly always full, was re-
ported packed as seldom II ever before"
81 MIR. Moody tells the story OF London
lstreet-preacher who would gather great
crowds about him and then preach on ana
on, until every one Of his hearers had gone
and left HIM alone. When asked why ne
insisted on firing out and disgusting his
audience, he answered that It seemed q pity
| to stop as long as anybody was willing to
! hear any more.

BR1cK-CLAY.-We have near our city, be-
low Rockets, q treasure in an undeveloped
state, consisting OF many acres Of the finest
brick-clay in the country. We understand
that this is now in the market, and that the
attention OF brick-lnakers from other cities
Is directed to it. We should be sorry to see
our own brick-makers lose the opportunity
OF occurring it. Contracts for city paving
are always required to be filled by furnish.
ing bricks of Rockets clay. The clay we
refer to having been taken from the road
leaves the property above the grade, making
it more easily and effectively worked. 5 Sold
ina body it will largely control the brick
market, and as an investment when smaller
bodies of first-class clay arc quite exhaust
ed cannot fail to prove remunerative. We
trust that this storehouse. OF wealth will
be secured by our capitalists and held In re
serve, that our city may not be forced to I'M
port bricks as our demands increase.

DESPERATE STRUGGLE WITH A BURGLAR

President Hayes Inaugural.

Fellow CITIZENS We have assembled
to repeat the public ceremonial begun by
Washington, observed by all my pTedeces-
sors, and now time honored custom which
maks the commencement of new term Of
the presidential office. Called to the duties
of this great trust, proceed in compliance
with usage to announce some of the lead
ing principles on subjects that now chiefly
engage public attention, by which IL is my
desire to be guided in the discharge of those
duties. shall not undertake TO lay down
irrevocably principles or measures Of ad-
minstration, but rather to speak Of motives
which should animate us, and TO suggest
certain important ends to be attained in ac-
cordance with our institutions and essential
to The welfare of our;country. At the outset
of the discussion which preceded the re-
cent presidential election, 1t seemed 10 me
fitting that l should fully make known my
sentiments in regard TO several OF the i'm
portant questions which then appeared to
demand consideration of the country. Fol-
lowing the example, and in part adopting
the language of one OF my predecessors,
wish now, when every motive for misre-
presentation has passed away, TO repeat
what was said before the election, trusting
that my countrymen will candidly weigh
and understand It, and that they will fee
assured that the sentiments declared In
accepting the nomination for the
presidency will be the standard Of
my conduct In the path before me
charged as am with the grave and difficult
task of carrying them out in the practical
administration of the government, so faI
as it depends, under the constitution aud
laws, on the chief executive of the nation

Opinions of the Inaugural.
NEW YORK, Mar.

New YORK, Mar. 8.
The II erald tomorrow, commenting on
HayeO' inaugural, says; His formal decla.
rations of his intentions is so wise and sat-
isfactory that 1t is difficult to point out any
particular in which it could be improved.
1t reflects just the sentiment of majority
of the American people of both parties, and
the president who proclaims his purpose to
do things which the enlightened public
opinion Of bis countrymen most urgently
demands cannot fail if bis methods be as
skillful as bis objects are well chosen.
The Sun Gays; A large part of it was
composed of geneiallties not gittering, but
dull; his observations on the southern
question are but dreary, unmeaning plati-
tudes, and hs financial observations the
merest political chaff.
The Tribune says: The address will
give fresh impulse TO the revival of hope
and cheeriulness throughout the country.
1t contains no startling promise, it unfolds
no unexpected policy, but it renews with
solemn emphasis the pledges made by the
republican candidate before election and
indicates in every line an honest devotion
to duty. Those who imagined that he
would feel bound 10 sustain the present
managers of the republican organization In
the south, because they worked for his suc-
cess in working for their own will perhaps
read with surprise his declaration that the
time has come when wise, honest and
peaceful local self government is an i'm
perative necessity required by all the varl-
Qua interests, public und private, of these
states.
The Chicago Journal Gays: THO docu-
ment is emirently ststesmanlike. 1t will
be seen that the new president proposes TO
carry out the policy of Cancellation In ac-
cordance with justice and of civil service
reform to which he was pledged at the
opening of the campaign.
The Post save: Il is about what the coun-
try expected; an open, honest declaration
of a man who unquestionably intends to do
his duty.
The Inter-O Ocean gays 1t gives promise
of firmness, prudence and broad states
mapship its tone toward the south, while
| indicating a most earnest desire for peace
