Mcclellan was lnaugurated To-Day IN Gne
presence of q crowd ofjabodt 10000 per-
sons. In the course of his inaugural ad-
dress he said: / trust gentleman that
you will agree with me in gladly
accepting the eIisting settlement of the
Southern question as final, and in insist,
ing, that no selfish interest of individuals
asmistaken policy of. party shall be al
lowed to revive subject which honor
and interest alike require to be buried
forever among the dead issues OF the
irrevocable past.
i THE message of Gov. Nichols, Of
Louisiana, delivered ION Thursday, is de-.
voted principally to State finances. Re-
ferfing to : KeIlogg's admission to the
Senate, he says: :-@I cannot close without
entering my solemn protest against the
recent action ola majority of the United
States Senate, under the forms Of the
constitution, in refusing to Louisiana the
representation in that body to which she
was entitled by rejecting the claim to a
seat therein of Hon. Henry, IA. Spoford,
who was elected by you in accordance
with, the constitution and laws of the!
State and of the United States, NTH an
exceptional unanimity." Z
60 The Grand Duke Nicholas, COM
Imander-in-chief of the European army
Of invasion in Turkey, is stern, marti-
net in discipline, and reckless of the
lives of his soldiers. Some time since
the Moscow mobiles, in IN address on the
state of the Empire, which, after much
difficulty, they managed 10 get into the
hands Of the Emperor, asked his recall,
and openly charged him with incapacity.
On hearing ofit, and that the Car had
taken it into; consideration, the Grand
Duke warded off the blowcby declaring
that he would blow. his brains out ifihe
was removed from the. army. This, and
the victory at Plevna, put an end to it.
are emphatically in, the age of
profanity, and it seems to us that we are
on the topmost current. One cannot go
on the street anywhere without having
his ears offended with the -yilest words,
and his reverence shocked by the most
profane use of sacred names. Nor does
it come from the old or middle aged
alone, for it is a fact that the younger
portion of the community are most pro-
.fcient in degrading language. Boys
have an idea that it is smart to swear ;,
that it makes them manly, but there
never was greater mistake in the world.
Men, even those who swear themselves,
are disguised with profanity in ayoung
man, because they know how, of all bad:
habits, this clings the most closely and
increases with years.. It's the most in
sidious of habits, growing on one so in
visibfy, that almost, before one is aware
he becomes an accomplished cursor.
- The expenses of Plymouth Church
are so large .that it is difficult to figure
out how they are to be met with the re-
duced sum realized by the sale Of pews
last week, and it is apprehended that the
society may have either to raise money
in some new way or. to cut down salaries.
Mr.. Beechh gets $20, 900, Pastor Halliday
s., 500, Sexton Weld $4,000, his assistant
$500, Henry Camp, for the music, $4,000
this year, reduced sum, and the mis-
's;ons cost about $4,000. These figures,
which are approximated correct, make 4
total of $44, 300 for current expenses, to
be met out of the $50, ,929 realized by the
sale of the pews. The cost of heating,
lighting and cleaning the church, which
is large, is not included in the estimated
Expenses. Last, year the trustees had
$4S ,420 from the pew rents, and even
then they were forced to make reduce
tions.
= Probably the largest landholder in
America is Ex-Governor Coburn, of
Maine. Incredible as it may seem, he is
che owner of not less than 693, 900 acres,
divided up as follows: Maine, 100000
acres; Canada, 1876 900; Wisconsin, 35,-
0O0;. Michigan, 10000; Minnesota, 49,
600; Dakota, $4,000. His latest pur.
chases is that of the tract in Dakota, and
was taken of the Northern Pacific Rail-
road in lieu of stock. in which road he
invested some 100000. His agent, Mr..
Whipple,. has just returned from the
West, where he has been to look after
Mr.. Coburn's interests and see about the
last purchase. He reports the land in
Dakota as among the finest held by the
Governor. He says it is web adapted to
growing cereals, and fine crops of wheat
have been harvested in the vicinity the
present season. The Governor is said to
be besieged with beggars of both high
and low standing, and hardly a day
passes but he receives letters asking aid
to help build seminaries, churches and
charitable institutions. BE ID reported
as giving away upward of $1,000 per
annum. MI. Coburn is probably worth
$6,000,000
- King Humbert has issued the fol-
lowing proclamation: "ITAL1ANs-The
greatest misfortune has suddenly befallen
us. Victor Emmanuel, the founder OF
the Kingdom of Italy, and its unity, has
been taken from us. Il received his last
sigh, which was for the nation; his last
wishes, which were for the happiness of
his people. His voice, which will always
resound in my heart, bids me vanquish
sorrow, land indicates my duty at this
moment. There is only one consolation
possible-namely, to show ourselves
worthy of him. I, by following in his
footsteps, and you, by remaining by those
civic virtues, by the aid of which ne ac-
complished the difficult task OF render
ing italy great and united. shall be
mindful Of his grand example of devo,
ton to country, love of progress, and
faith in the liberal institutions which are
the pride Of my house. BY sole ambi-
ton will be to deserve the love of my
people. Italians, your first King is dead.
His successor will prove to you that in
stitutions do not die. Let us unite in
this hour of great sorrow; etus strength
en- that concord which has always been
the salvation Of Italy"
