parted, and fashion returned to the
prime eccentricitiosA of the former
times. During the reyolution the cor
sets were again forgotten, and under
the directory it was completely inter
dicted by the fashionable world. The
bellies of the day took a classic turn,
the Roman dress-the toga, sandal,
etc. The empire dethroned the classic
fashion, but without taking the corset
in favor. High waists were in favor,
and la mode revealed a taste certainly
the reverse of prudery With the fall
of the empire fell also the waist, and
then came also, as q necessity, the re-
turn to the corset.

Personal influence OF Ministers.

Correspondence Boston Journal.
1t is a very common thing for Evan
gelical ministers to go out of n
Evangelical denomination into anoth-
er. It is very seldom that an Evan
gelical pastor becomes a Liberal
or that a Liberal comes into the
Evangelical fold. When such an
event happens the minister usually
goes alone. Very seldom do his init
mate friends 20 with him. The change
is a five days wonder; the ranks close
up, a new face appears in the pulpit, a
new voice sounds along the arches and
things run along in the old groove,
There is a weak Presbyterian church
UP town. A man of advanced
thought was sought for to see if a
new attraction couldn't be added to
the old methods. His success was not
alarming. He surprised his congrega-
ton one morning by announcing that
he had accepted a call to a Universal
ist church in Harlem. He will be no
more of a Universalist when he gets
into his new pulpit than he was when
he took charge Of the old one. 1t is
simply a change of place, 1t is not
probable he will carry with him a SIN
gle man, woman or child. A Congre-
gational minister went from Brook
Tyn to a Unitarian pulpit in New
York. The old church was

In short every remaining partisan

The natural and mechanical powers
Of production in the United States of
America, combined with the keenness
and energy in business matters of
our transatlantic cousins, threatens to
expose our producers TO a severe, if
not injurious competition. 1t Is, of
course, impossible, with our free trade
policy and give and take back princi-
pie in all that relates to commerce, to
think of r~everting to protection. So
long as the United States sent us only
the surplus of the cereal produce there
was no ground for alarm. On the
contrary, we had reason to be grateful
to a source from which we could all
ways draw a certain and sufficient
supply Of the first necessary of life to
meet a want that was every year in
creasing. In process of time VIC also
received with satisfaction consign-
ments of other descriptions of food.
The price Of butchers meat In the
metropolis, exorbitant as is, has no
doubt been kept down by American
exports, and we have largely drawn
upon the fertile farms of the New
World for pork, cheese and other
items of agricultural produce. We
are also indebted to the Uni
ted States for some of the
best brands Of preserved meats, as
likewise for a variety of Yankee mo-
tons" including clocks, watches, the
famous sewing and washing machines
churns, lemon squeezers, etc, to say
nothing of cocktails, bulls milk anC
gin slings. 1t seems, however, tina

are boots and shoes, perfumery, jewelr!
and piece goods. We have no right t,
complain of these invasions; but
certainly behooyes us TO endeavor Il
meet them BY producing, if possible
better manufactured articles at equal.
moderate prices. The question o
American competition is a serious on,
for our operatives, and ought to b
taken into account beforetheystrength
en- the hands of the foreigner by re
newing the disastrous struggles be
tween labor and capital which hay
done so much Of late years to paralyz

The announcement made By General
Hickenlooper at the late reunion Of
the Army oftheT Tennessee, to the effect
that Grant had decided to abandon
the residue of his contemplated tour
around the world and return home in
a few weeks, possesses considerable
political significance. II is the first
step in the Radical programme of1S80.
The next step will be a conference of
Republican leaders here shortly before
the ~convening OF the next session of
congress, at which a thorough reOrgan-
ization of the Radical party will take
place, and a complete programme Of
operations agreed upon. The stalwarts
have completely captured all the other
elements ofthe party, and there will
be no dissenting voice or vote in the
forthcoming conference against the
scheme of uniting all the influences of
the party in Office, in the press and in
the Methodist pulpit, for the renomi-
nation Of Grant. The Radical man

New Polar Island.

London Times.l
The discovery Of a new Island in
the Polar seas is announced in the
following kilograms from Tromso: "E.
Johanessen, who has just returned
here, reports hat he penetrated a CON
siderable distance to the east, beyond
Noyaia Zemiia. On September Sd, in
longitude 66 deg. east aud latitude N
deg. % min. north, he discovered an
island which he named 'EnsOmheden'
(~loneliness). 1t is about ten miles
long, and level, the highest point not
exceeding one hundred feet. 1t was
free from snow, with poor vegetation,
bun an immense quantity Of birds,
The sea was free from ice toward the
west, north and south, but drift ice
was seen toward the southeast. There
was evidence that the Gulf Stream
touched tho west coast Of the island;
the stream runs in a long current
round the north coast toward the
southeast, Everything about the ice
was favorable for navigation 50 long as
the vessel did not 90 too neal the
mainland of Siberia" The newly dis
covered island lies, therefore, some
what southeast of the region visited by
the Austrian expedition 0f1874.
