The Worsted Church of Canterbury,
N. H., is described in the summer corre-
spondence of the Boston Traveller. The
interior is a mosaic of needlework of
vines, flowers and decorations of worsted
in all colors and designs. Few persons
would believe that such charming effects
could be produced with such material.
Crocheted lambrequins cover the cur
tains at each window, and baskets filled
with zephyr wool flowers hang from the
center. Harps, crosses, anchors, wreaths
of flowers and festoons of vines are placed
between large tablets of artistic designs
gracing the walls like ancient tapestry,
and inscribed with Scriptural Sc
lections. These tablets and in
scriptions are composed of various colored
crimped tissue papers upon background
of cloth. The lettering is well executed,
and no two Inscriptions are in the same
character. An immense ornament of
flowers and drapery is suspended from
the center of the ceiling with two large
arches of flowers spanning the interior OF
the church. The flowers look SO fresh
that the beholder is almost tempted to
pluck a regal lily, blushing rose, a ra-
diant dahlia, modest forget-me-not, OF
the lily of the valley with it's fairy bells
Who has done all this work? A young
widow, who made a work-room of an
apartment near the entrance of the
church, and who not only decorated the
walls during the week, but conducted
service every Sunday for five years
reading Mr.. Beecher's sermons from the
pulpit.

According to the Sahawano Journal,

According to the Sahawano Journal,
trout have been fearfully slaughtered in
that sectionof Wisconsin this season. 1t
says: "a few more weeks and time for
trouting will be at an end, and we shall
be most devoutly thankful. The past
season there has been more wholesale de-
struction of the trout than years before,
and the streams will not be as full again
for years, if, in fact, they ever recover.
We can count up where twenty-five
thousand fish have been taken from the
streams, and probably three times that
number have been slaughtered"

1t is not only in telephones that Lon
don is behind American cities; and
though in this respect it is said that the
metropolis is shortly to be placed ahead
of New York, there is but little prospect
of improvement in other directions. The
conveyance of luggage is one matter in
which we are terribly behindhand, yet
nobody seems inclined to adopt sys-
tenn of checks and express wagons
such as has been so proftably
and conveniently established in the
United States. In the same way the Or
ganization of messengers, who are to be
obtained at any hour of the day or night
by the payment of small annual fee,
has never been attempted here, though
they would certainly be employed largely
when once the plan was understood.
Even when London has an advantage, it
surrenders it without demur. A few
years ago the District Telegraph enabled
any one to send dispatch for Cd. The
Government took the concern over, and
since then all Londoners have had to pay
Is. Nothing, indeed, can we'll be more
surprising than the indifference of the
population of the largest city in the
world to its own convenience. In the
matter of water a stir is now being made
but how calmly has the bad and insult
ficient supply been tolerated for years.
Private enterprise, vigorous as it is in
this country, seems at times to fall unac-
countably short of its opportunities, while
general grumbling has far less effect in
bringing about rapid change than is
sometimes imagined.

Tired of Life.

Mr.. Ed. Rombuck, a young man living
on Central avenue near Liberty street, at
tempted suicide yesterday afternoon by
firing pistol at his head, but the ball
missed its mark. The pistol was then taken
away from him, but being determined to
accomplish his object, he ran into his room,
locked the door, and having made rope
by tearing up a sheet he hung himself to
the bed post He was followed by his
friends, however, who broke open the door
and rescued him, butt not until he was nearly
unconscious. He still declares his determine
ton to take his life

Eound Dead.

Arthur Hughes, better known as Addy
Hughes, was found dead yesterday, lying
below the roadway over the suspension
hxidge. Hughes formerly had been the
leader of a Deercreek gang, and terror to
the East End. He was the murderer, in
1853. of Patrolman Nuttles whom he stab

Penitentiary for it. The Coroner held an
inquest to-day and rendered verdict OF
l2aath from intemperance.

Regulate the Secretisns.

In our endeavors to preserve health it is
of the utmost importance that we keep the
secretory system in perfect condition. The
well-known remedy, Kidney-W Wort, has spe-
cific action upon the kidneys, liver and
bowels. Use it instead of dosing with vile
bitters or drastic pills. 1t is purely veget-
able, and is prompt bnt mild in action. d

As Mrs. Blanchard, of Monticello,
Iowa, was passing along the street the
other day, part of a swarm OF bees,
lust robbed Of their honey, flew at her
head and face in a cloud and stung her
numerically. Over fifty bee-stingers
were taken from her head, and she has a
hard struggle to live.

not what people go to church on Sabbath

Are We a Nation of Liars.

Some of the statistics in the annual
report of the Commissioner of Pensions,
Just furnished to the Secretary of the In
terror, supply material to which we invoke
the attention of any clergymen who pro-
pose to preach to-day from the numerous
texts of the Christian Scriptures which
reprobate lying. In the cases OF 800 PEN
sioners whose names have been expunged
from the list during the last three years on
account of the detection of fraud in
their cases Commissioner Bentley cer-
titles that perjury was ascertained in
3,0S4 OF the 4,397 aflidavits which ac-
companied their applications and forgery
in at least 92 instances. These fraudulent
claimants succeeded in drawing S547.225
from the national Treasury before they were
dropped. What part. if any, of this vast
sum has been recouped by the United
States, and how many, if any, of the 3,OS4
perjurers and 81 forgers have been prose-
cuted for their crimes. the Commissioners
does not state. 1t is hard to imagine a moro
meritorious claim upon public sympathy
and support than that of the widow or
orphan of Union soldier, and just in the
same degree imposture in such cases is
odious and needs to be pursued by the law
and denounced from the pulpit pit-punished
here and punished hereafter.

Pulpit Topics To-day.

Among the more practical topics that
will be discussed to-day none is more prac-
tical than that which Mr.. Richmond has
assigned to himself-namely, the duty Of
the Church to the friendless poor, espe-
cially in view of the approaching Thanks
giving. Professor Adler will touch sub
ject which looms up occasionally and cre-
ates not little sensation while it lasts
religion in our public schools. Protes-
tants and Catholics agree that education
ought to be religious, but they divide on
the character and kind Of religion to bo
taught in them. The "Grant boom" in the
West will be discussed by Mr.. Hatfield I;
but why it should be put in the place of
an evangelical sermon on q Sabbath even
ing it is difficult to understand, except as
a ''sensation" to draw crowd. A distin-
auished general and citizen soldiers are

1t is possible that the Jeanette was making
her way through the eastern edge OF the
pack ice that lay along the shore of wran-
gel Land when last seen by the whalers, be-
cause they tell us ssshe was heading for a
blight OF open water between two ice packs
near Herald Island and was moving
slowly" In the worst aspect of the whale-
mems theory of her position she may have

able to make sledge excursions to the land

Preparations are on foot in Ireland to
enable the authorities to suppress immedi-
ately any resistance to the laws or violent
demonstrations, and instructions have been
given, as noted in the cable dispatches in
virtue of which the military can be called
and used without reference of the case
to England. But the Irish agitators
appear to be too well advised to
give rashly any occasion for the
use of force. The difficulty at Balla has
been overcome by a timely abandonment
OF the policy of actual resistance and non
payment of rent, which seemed likely to
precipitate an immediate collision. At the
same time with its military preparations
the government, it is reported, is making
others that have in view scheme Of fur
nishing labor to unemployed persons at
points where the distress is great
est-a proceeding very likely to sepa-
rate those who will thus get employment
from the mass of discontented people But,
at most, this number is not likely to be
very great, for if the government should
advance money on the plan proposed on q
scale sufficient to effectively satisfy the ac-
tual wants of the people it would imme-
diately be challenged to give an equivalent
assistance to the English population, and
the scheme would become too extensive
to be continued. Assistance is per-
haps as much needed in England as
in Ireland but that the English people do
not raise political agitation over il is not
peculiar virtue on their part. as Earl
Besconsfeld assumes. They do not live
in a condition of chronic moral revolt
against a government to which they are
subject in great part against their will. and
their political relation to authority is
therefore entirely different from that of the
Irish people, and no fair comparison in
this respect can be instituted between
them.

Bishop Potter.

The community at large, as we'll as that
portion of it that is within the pale of the
Protestant Episcopal Church, should find
cause for qualification in the celebration
yesterday at Trinity Church. The vener-
able prelate who has been at the head of
the diocese of New York for quarter OF
the century has in working for his Church
done valiant service to society; for all OF
us, saints and sinners alike are benefited
when any bad man is by religious exhorta-
ton turned from the error Of his ways. The
increase in Church membership since
the elevation of Bishop Potter to
his present position is out of all
proportion to the increase of population,
and, therefore, indicates great change for
the better among many who might other
wise have swelled the ranks, still far too
full, of the dangerous classes. Much Of
the increase has been gained among people
that too frequently get nothing from
churches but prayers; in the address which
Rev. DR.. Dix offered from the clergy and
laity reference is made to the work of the
Bishop for and among the poor and igno-
rant. and there is no church dignitary so
high but finds in such service his truest
claims to reverence and affection. Long
may the good man live to continue his
labors for the benefit of those who are the
most deserving because they are the most

requisite power, but it is sometimes ques-
toned whether the governors have high
enough moral standard and sufficient
social courage to make their authority
serviceable except in cases of fragrant
misconduct. There can be no doubt,
however. that the principle laid
down by the Knickerbocker Club is
the true one-namely, that the good re-
pute of the club is the paramount con-
sideration, and that any conduct of MEM
ber which is detrimental to its interest is q
sufficient ground Of expulsion. 1t would
be absurd for club to establish particu-
lar code of offences; the governors are to
be presumed men of trained social per-
ceptions and correct judges of what con-
duct is or is not betitting gentleman. The
danger in this city at least, is not that
they will be too strict, but too lax and in
dulgent.
We can recollect but one instance in
this city in which the crraignment of a
member of club excited general atten-
ton like the case OF Mr.. Labouchere in
London. We refer, of course, to the po-
litical tempest in the Union League Club
against Mr. Greeley in the spring of 1867,
after he had signed the bail bond Of Jeffer-
son Davis. But Mr.. Greeley was not ex-
PEELED Instead of resisting expul-
sion he courted and defed it. When
Mr.. Jay, the president of the club,
notified him Of the meeting and
invited him to appear and answer. he re-
piled by a contemptuous letter, in which
he denounced the club as q set of marrow
m nded blockheads" and declined to attend
the meeting He told them that he hoped
they would not stop at mere vote of GEN.
sure, but demonstrate the extent of their
Jolly by expelling him. After stormy
debate they passed a couple of tame reso-
lutlons, one Of which nullifed the other,
and let the matter drop. There is, of
course, no analogy between such an out
burst of mere political passion and action
against member for personal misconduct.

Colleges OF the Third Glass.

Middlebury College, whose halls are
empty by reason of a quarrel between the
students and the faculty, is one of the most
attractive seats of superior education of
the third class in the United States. The
place from which it takes its name is a
model Vermont village, situated upon
stream that flows from the Green Noun
tains into Lake Champlan, from whose
shore it is distant only few miles. The
buildings stand on hill, in skilfully
planted park, with paths cut through the
woods, opening delightful vistas over the
lowland to the mountain range. The COL
lege possesses the advantage of ma
ture age, having been founded in
1900. 1t is patronized by the orthodox
Congregationalists, the most powerful and
wealthy religious sect in New England. It
possesses the equipments of great institu-
ton of learning in miniature-library, mu-
seums and philosophical apparatus. Never
theless it has been waning for many years.
The number of its students had dwindled
to only sixty or seventy before they forsook
it in body. We do not purpose to in

tween them and the faculty, but only to
point out the true way for the restoration
of this and other waning colleges of the
third class into activity and usefulness.
That way consists in their cheerful rec
ognition of inferiority to institutions like
Yale and Harvard and Columbia, and their
contentment with lesser rank. Let them
leave off conierring academical and honor
ary degrees, cease to ape the manners and
ceremonial of universities, not take offence
at the title Of ''schools"-in short, adopt
the modesty appropriate to their relative
means and position. With this let them
exercise a more rigid discipline over their
pupils than prevails at Cambridge, or
New Haven, or New York, SO that
parents may understand from the start
that the children sent there are
under watchful individual tutelaQe.
Fellenberg's famous school at Hofwyl in
Switzerland, and the Round Hill School at
Northampton in this country, while it was
conducted by the late DR.. Cogswell and by
George Bancroft, were examples of what we
mean. The late Rev. DR.. Muhlenbergs
school at Flushing was nearly such another.
They all have vanished, but the impress
they made on the character of two genera
tions Of Europeans and Americans still

a general advance of 2 to points on the first
