The village OF Ddrkheim is in Bavaria and Is
famous for some good wine. There is hill
near by on whose top there used to be IA chapel.
that was regarded with great yeneration by the
pious. and was visited yearly. on 81. Mchael's
Day by pilgrims from IA great distance. Be-
tween the hill anil the village there was plain
on which the wayfarers put up booths. and

DIR. HALL AGAIN IN HIS PULPIT
His Views OF the Edinburgh Council and or
Americas Deiesates

The Rev. Dr. John Hall, having returned
from Europe. preached yesterday. morning and
afternoon, in his church at Fifth avenue and
Fifty-lfth street. Many members OF his con-
grcgaton. who had not seen him since his re-
turn. waited after the services were over, and
greeted him affectionately. His bright eye.
healthy color. and vigorous frame showed that
his trip has done him no harm.
The morning sermon was upon The Bless
ings of the Gospel and contained no illusions
to his experience abroad. In the afternoon he
devoted part OF his address to the Presbyterian
Convention in Edinburgh. The delegates. who
came from various parts Of the world num-
bered about $780, and 81 900 congregations were
represented. The custom Of entertaining dele
gates Mt the homes OF citizens. which had boen
first tried at the assembling of the Evangelical
Alliance in this city. was copied there. The
effect OF the Edinburgh Council was greatly TO
strengthen the bonds ot syinpathy and friend
ship nf the branches OF the Presbyterian
Church In Scotland, England, ireland. and on
the American continent. The wonderful in
pilgrim band that left England TO settle in
America impressed him, upon his attendance

National Debts.
Chicago Times

| A reader of the Times asks: what
country in the world has the largest
national debt?" At the latest date
for which statistics are now in hand
Great Britain had. That was in
March, 1875. when the debt of that
country was $3,876. 100000. reckon.
ing the pound sterling at five dol
lars. In the preceding January
the debt Of France, according to the
"Statesman's Year Book" for 1877,
was $3.750,547,129. counting five
frances to the dollar. This debt
was then the second in magnitude.
Some writer's have stated the
French debt to be as much as ST.
500, 100000. Probably the true
amount is somewhat above that first
given, as in 1875 France must have
had good deal of floating and tenn
porary Indebtedness that had not at
the time been converted into rentes.
and the 'Statesman's Year Book"
gives only the capital of the rentes.
But those who put the French debt
at $4.50O.00O,OO0 must include mu
nicipal and other local indebtedness,
much of which was incurred for war
purposes during the late conflict
with Germany There is probably
not much difference between the
debts of France and Great Britain
at the present moment. The Times
has an impression that the French
debt is the larger, but in the absence
Of reliable statements later than
1875, it will not venture to express
a confident opinion.

THE END.
School Dress.

If there is one place more than
another where simplicity should
characterize the dress, it is the
school-room. The object for which
the children are here gathered is GER
tainly not the display of the wealth
or tenderness OF their parents. Any
thing which diverts the attention of
the pupil from bis school duties is an
injury to him; but it will accord with
the observation of teachers, that fine
clothes ofteuer work mischief to their
wearer in this respect than mean
clothes do. The highest-ininded
children are oftenest found in plain
garb, while those be-ringed and be-
rufle /, and otherwise showily attir-
ed. are generally quite destitute Of
intellectual home culture. Their
mothers have been too busy with
their clothes to pay much attention
to their brains. This sounds severe
would it were not true. While over
attention to toilet matters is a him
drance to study, negligence and un-
tidiness are as carefully to be avoid
ed. Clean clothes, plainly made.
need not be expensive. either Of
time or mouey, and proper regard
to personal cleanliness in all its de-
tails is what every person owes to
himself or his associates. IL il very
desirable that the pupil should have
at least two school suits. for In the
crowded school room the clothing
coon becomes saturated with the ex-
halations floating in the atmosphere.
and an airing of the clothes every
two or three days is necessary to
keep them fresh and sweet.-Er.

WHERE THE MONEY GOES

Census reports, shows that the
whiskey traffic costs the people an
nuaIly $73O,OO0 more than is paid
for the advancement of both religion
and education in the entire United
States. 1t cost annually $569, 900,
900 in the loss of the labor of those
who are engaged in the business, to
say nothing of the loss of the mil
liens of bushels of grain and fruit
taken from the honest labor of the
country and destroyed. Such a
traffic must necessarily affect the
prosperity Of the country. And when
we add to this the fact, shown bv
statistics from prisons, that ninety
per cent. of the crime committed in
the United States is caused either
directly or indirectly by the sale and
use of Intoxicating liquors. and that
the enormous expense incident to
our systems Of criminal courts and
prisons, in the several States, grows
chiefly out OF the traffic. we have no
difficulty in ascertaining whence
comes a large part the taxation and
consequent oppression of the peo-
pie.

THE List NIGHT.
By W. H. PHILLIPS.

BKw. H. PHILLIPS.
Within prison cell he sits,
His life is passing fast away,
Before his tortured mind there fits
vision of the coming day;
He cannot shut it from his sight,
1t h2unts him through the fearful night.
How fast the minutes passing fly
The hours rushed on with lightning speed
few more yet and he must die,
To make atonement for the deed
Which placed him in his prison room
And brought him to a felon's doom.
He sees himself playful boy,
His mothers greatest joy and pride
Oh well it is fer him and her
That many year ago she died,
And does not live to see him now,
The mark of Cain upon his brow
He sees himself at mans estate,
Free from all sin and misery;
He sees the loving woman who
Tomorrow win his widow be,
Whom but one year ago he swore
To love and honor eyermore.
And when he sees that fatal day
When mad with passion and with drink,
He took another's life away
And placed himself upon Deaths brink
And now there rises up by him
The shadow of gailows griIn
o could he but reca Il that day;
o! could he but undo that deed;
Had he resisted passions sway,
And not to Anger's voice gave heed,
How different now would be his fate
o bitter thought to late, too late
And as he thinks, adown his cheek
The scalding tears fall thick and fast;
The prison clock begins to speak
The hour of six-he nears his last.
Upon his hands he leans his head
And thinks he sees him-cold and dead.
Years upon years it takes to win
An honest and q noble name,
And but a single moments sin
To cover it with stains and shame.
The fruit Of years of labor may
Be all destroyed within day
