CleOnatra'S Needle.

The English Government is now NOV
ing in earnest to transfer the giant ODE
lisk known as Cleopatra's Needle from
it's present locality at Alexandria to the
embankment of the Thames. The pro-
cess of removal is so unique that we
copy portion of it from the London
Times:
''The sand is to be cleared away and
the obelisk set square parallel with the
existing sea-wall. An iron cylinder,
finished off to chisel edge, with sufi-
cient diaphragm to give it strength, is to
be constructed round the obelisk, which
is to lie in the long axis of the cylinder
and to be wedged and calked where it
passes through the diaphragms so as to
divide the cylinder into water-tight
compartments. The cylinder is to be
ninety-fve feet long by fifteen feet di-
ameter, and will have draught of nine
feet of water when afoat All being
riveted water-tight, it will be rolled into
the sea and across the sandy bed of the
water till it floats. Tt will then be
turned over, and the man-holes at the
top opened and about thirty tons of ballast
put in to keep the ends vertical, so as to
act like stem and stern. Tt will then
have two bilge keels, rudder, light
spar deck, mast, and lug sails attached,
and be provided with an anchor and
good chain cables, and, if necessary, a
pump in case of leakage. The cylinder
ship will then be fit to go to any port of
the world with its freight, and in any
weather."
This novel craft will be towed to En-
gland this summer, and by means of a
few timbers and two hydraulic rams will
be elevated to it's site on the embark
ment. The entire cost will be only $780,
900, while that of the Paris obelisk was
100000. Its entire height is seventy
feet. and it is seven feet at the base

The Eu1sconal congress.

At the session of the Episcopal Church Con
gress, in New York, yesterday, Bishop Lay,
of Easton, Pa, deprecated the preaching OF
choice sermons for the rich and those in the
front pews, while no thought was expressed for
the poor and needy. lie thought the average
sermon was too ambitious and prctentiOus 10 its
themes. and spoke Of the irariuly profound
sermons preached OF late, not on tho duty OF
bearing each Others burdens, hut on politics,
the economical condition OF capital and labor,
or some other profound subject about which
the audience knew little or cared less. People
came to church to hear sound and sensible doc
trines, and many times the preacher took q
nearer into the mystic depths of theology and
cthica, which was more suited for 4 crowd OF
critics Intellectual lazincss waa temptation
which greatly bcset country clcrgymen. Texts
should be simple and touching, and the preach
er should give his text ample thought. IN
extempOre speech was a very valuable acQulSi-
lion, but vas dangerous one. Sermons should
be full of calm. dcvout and warm affection.
Tho topic of tho evening was "Christianity

ruption of the stage is their fault, and lay the
