The testimony of E. L. Weber before the
Potter committee yesterday was calculated to
add TO the disgust felt by the country for the
whole crowd of the Louisiana witnesses His
written statement had all the indications of
having been prepared for him, and when quas-
TONED on points in il, his confusion of manner
showed that he had nothing to do with its
inception His breakdown on crOSs-examin-
atlOn was pltlable, and especially when con-
frOnted with the letter he wrote to ST. Louis
directly after the assassination of his brother,
ID. A Weber in which he stated the whole
affair exactly to the contrary of his present
testimony. Altogether this witness seems to
be both the biggest and the clumsiest liar of
the whole diSgraceful lot

The exhibit made by the Statistical bureau,
OF the foreign trade returns for the United
States Cor the first eleven months OF the fiscal
year, attracts much attention, as showing the
extent OF the increase in exports and decrease
IN imports. This movement is declared by
the cautious New York Post TO be THE most
extraordinary on record" The exports, not
Including the precious metals, amount to
SoiI,9s,pr, while the imports are valued at
$40, 10000, showing an excess of exports over
imports amounting to s245, 52S. 90. For the
corresponding eleven months of the preced
ing fiscal year the excess of exports amounted
to sl55,S7,oOl. The effec, of this enormous
surplus of exports has been not only TO enable
us to take back from Europe very consil-
cradle amount Of our securities, but also to
prevent our usual export of the precious
metals. Ordinarily, We have Leen accus-
toned 10 make net annual export of specie
of about s55,0O0,0OO: whereas the net ship
mentS for the eleven months under review
amounted to less than two million: a ia t
which indicates the extent OF the home accu.
mutation of gold and silver during the past
fiscal year.

last Saturday night at half past
O'Clock in this city, Jane Bryan
~, wife of J. w. Bryarly, aged 80
years. She was bonn in Holmes coun-
ty, Ohio, April 14th, 1888, and was
married Aug. 10th, 1856. She leaves
two children, both boys who dearly
loved their mother. Nc one appre-
ciates more their feelings or sympa-
thizes with them deeper than we do.
Mrs. Bryarly was a member of no
church, but died a Christian. She
attended the Liberty Street NJ. f.
Church. Rev. Ii. B. Seely preached
her funeral sermon which was a very
appropriate discourse. He based his
remarks on the 23d Pslam which was
a great favorite with the deceased.
She often repeated it during her
sickness and it fingered on her dying
lips Pslam XXII1.
The Lord is my shepherd; 1 shall
not want.
2. He maketh me to lie down i'll
green p~astuers: he leadeth me beside
the still waters.
3. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth
me in the paths Of righteousness for
his names sake.
A. Yea, though L walk through the
valley of the shadow of death, L will
fear no eyA: for thou art with me;
thy rod and thy staff they comfort
me.
5. Thou preparest a table before
me in the presence Of mine enemies:
thou anointest my head with oil my
cup runeth over.
6. Surely goodness and mercy shall
follow me all the days Of my life: and
/ will dwell in the house Of the Lord
forever.

OPERA HALL SAFE.

The average attendance in Opera
Hall during the Murphy Meetings
has been about 1900 or 1900. We
hear that some persons are skeptical
as to the safety of so many persons
being packed in Opera Hall, but the
public need give its self no trouble
on this point for the hall was built to
hold Il crowd and has stood the. test
thus far admirably. Eight sets have
often danced in the room at the same
time, and the house did not shake.
If the hall could stand this test no
standing Or sitting crowd need fear
for their safety in the hall.

Reputation is what we seem to be.
Character is what we really are. Men
know I'll reputation. God knows
our character. Reputation, like
wealth, is left behind Us when we

Reputation fades away and is of mo-
luentary Importance. Character is an
everlasting possession, and has an
eternal value. Then it is far more
important 10 acquire character than
to make reputation. The acquisition
Of character should be the great
business of life. II we take care Of
