REV. ME-. CoEBETT PREACHING TO THE
GUESTS AND ENCURsIoNisTs.
LoNG BRANCH, n. j August 3
The most remarkable feature at this
watering place this season occurred at )
O'Clock this evening on the lawn in front
of the Ocean Hotel. The Rev. William
p. Corbett, the Methodist Episcopal min
lister, who had attended the morning ser
vice in Ocean Grove, had arranged to
preach to the guests and Sunday eXcur-
sionists at the Branch at D p. IN. just
after the steamer Adelaide had left the
pier Southern steamship passed and
saluted the pier. AS the echoes oil the
gun died away the crowd OF ladies ana
gentlemen congregated in front of the
ocean Hotel. Wilsford Dep of Ocean
Grove conducted the singing, assisted by
the cornet of the Ocean Hotel band
After the singing of "Old Hundred the
Rev. Mr.. Corbett offered prayer ''for the
rich and the poor, the jew and the Gen
tile" closing with the hope that "at the
end of earthly life We may be swung ovel
Jordan on the downy wing oil an ahSe
into everlasting bliss"
The congregation then sang "All Hal
the Power OF Jesus Name" Th'
preacher tneH sPohe io, '
Acts, 9Th chapter, 3Sth and Both and par
of the 10th verse. During the service tb'
congregation continued to increase an,
paid great and respectful attention. !
had been expected by the pier compan
, and the directors of the Plymouth Roc
that Mr.. Corbett would preach on tn

In AN, ARTICLE III "'o
the New York Herald gives some ADVICE
n she Democratic party that should be
accepted. Just what the motive Oh 'ne
Herald is we do not know nor Is "
necessary that we should. But II those
who compose the Democratic party ex-
meet to elect the next President IL Is
necessary for them to cease their wrahg-
ling upon mere side issues. No party
ever yet was harmonious upon all ques-
tions. 1t is almost impossible for TINS 10
be 50 in country so vast and diversified
in climste, soil and productions as the
United States. In fact there Is less 10
divide our party now, and more TO make
il cohesive than we ever remember pe-
fore. Anterior to 1850 it was necessary
to harmonic the different factions IN
various ways, one of which was the Sc
lection of "Northern men with southern
principles Now there is nothing 10
divide the party but the question Oh the
currency, and the chief mischiei-maker
in this question in our ranks Is the Ne"
York World. Yet that paper has on
numerous occasions very recently saiu
that the reconciliation OF silver was
certain and that its prevention was an
impossibility. Where then is the use OF
the opponents of gold and silver cur
rency continuing their warfare on the
men in the Democratic party whose only
fault is that they favor the coinage OF
silver as well as gold dollars? The Her
aid shows them this folly and points TO
the fact that the Republicans differed
even more widely upon the currency
question than the Democrats, yet their
Senators and Representatives in Con-
gress gave up this difference in order
that they might present solid front to
the Democrats; and their patty through
out the country has followed the ex-
ample set them in Washington. What
folly then Is 1t in the Democrats to risk
all their chances on an abstract question
like this, which the World admits must
be settled upon bimetallic basis. Why
risk the question of free elections by
such folly? The old doctrine of ''mea
sures not men" must then come up, anC
all aspirants make way for the sue
cess Of the people and free elections. l
we do not want standing army I
superintend the polls under the con
msnd of United States Marshal
Washington, we must unite to oppos
this despotism at its inception. Thei
are now gold dollars and Bland dollal
in abundance for all immediate pu'
poses, and would have had the Trad
dollar counterfeit undergoing tran
formation into legal tender had not I'll
Republican Senators en- mdSSe voted
favor of continuing the Trade dollar
circulation. Then let us let these que
tions Of currency alone until We hay
secured liberty at the polls, and freedo
from the intolerance of army and [.
Mashals' interference and inspectio
By that time we are sure the silver que
ton will have been settled by the lay
of trade, and we shall not be surprise
to find even the much abused Ira
dollar commanding premium.

Notes Of lhe Day.

Congressman Ewing's home at Lah-
caster, Ohio, is a plain brick mansion,
pleasantly situated on high ground.
The Generals eldest son, William, who
is twenty-thr ee years old, is principal OF
an academy in an adjoining township.
The General has four other children,
two boys and two girls. .a
A Newark policeman has been obliged
by Mayor Yates 10 publicly apologize to
Mrs. Marx, Jewess, for having said to
her that Manhattan Beach would be
quite pleasant place Of resort now that
the Jews had been excluded.
The Herald says Secretary Sherman
aired himself at Coney Island yesterday
and ventilated some Of his opinions. He
believes the Presidential issue will be
the financial question.
That we can successfully compete with
John Bull on his own soil is shown by
the fact that preferred rates are gwen to
American beef and corn on several of
the English railways because the latter
convey larger bulk than they get from
tho English farmers. The subject has
been brought to the attention OF Parlia-
ment.
MIR. r. W. Loughery, editor Of the
Marshall (Texas) Herald, writes letter
to the Albany Times, saying that many
of the crimes committed in Texas are
done by men who have lived a very little
while in the State, and in fact cannot be
said to belong TO Texas. Currie, he
says, was armed because he was special
railway detective.
The idea that the safety of this coun-
try requires that one party shall bold all
the offices is what keeps things in a
state Of excitement so much Of the time.

A Knowing "Court.''

An anecdote is told of court held in
village during the past year, which we
regard as one Of the richest in its line
of any that has been recorded. The
case on trial was for the sale of liquor.
The principal witness was singularly OBJ
fuse, and, though confessing to having
made purchase, could not for the life
of him tell what the article was. The
most ingenious questioning would not
bring it out. At last the attorney asked
him, "How did it taste?"
''" [ dunno?'
Here the court interposed, alleging
that to be an improper question, and in
CURED OF the attorney why he put such
an interrogatory. .,, ....
"Well, your Honor" replied the at
torney, Il was unable to make the wit
ness tell what kind of liquor he bought;
but I thought, if he would tell how it
tasted, the court would be able to de-
termine for itself!''
The hit was too palpable, and not
even the solemnity of the place or the
cause was sufficient SO suppress the
mirth of the audience. f

DURING the current year the city of
Providence has provided labor at so
cents day for all citizens in need of
emple ynent and able to work, and has
also furnished food and lodging for
tramps and other non-residents applying
for the same and willing to recompense
the city by chopping wood. It was ex-
pected that the experiment would cause
marked increase of expenses, but the
figures already show small saving, and
the number of tramps has largely de-
creased; in fact, the tramp who will not
work does not appear in the neighbor-
hood of Providence.

An intellectual gentleman, that is to
say, person with long hair and but
toned-up coat, and lady were stand
ing in front of st. James street book
store this afternoon. The gentleman
was explaining something to the lady
concerning pictures in the window they
were both admiring, and as near as pos
sible the following conversation took
place:
"See," said the man of intellect, show
boldly imperial the face of the lady is,
and how like that of her Majesty, God
bless her"
Lady-"Oh, my and so it is"
Gentleman--"fhen, again, observe
the contour Of the Marquis, even from
a poor photograph you can see the long
line OF ancestry that-that renders the
name illustrious- that 2

The COnvict-Lease System i'm Georgia.
A report Of the Penitentiary Commit
tee of the Georgia Legislature has
startled the State, and a resolution has
been introduced to abolish the lease of
convicts which was made for twenty
years. The report shows: l. That there
have been 25 to 40 per cent of escapes,
against per cent. under the old system !;
and that there are 525 escaped convicts
now roaming through the State Of
Georgia. 2. That in some camps the
men and women prisoners are chained
together Unfortunately in sleeping
hunks, and that the State is actually
raising camp of felons, as there are
twenty-five children in the peni-
tertiary, born of mothers who are in
shackles 3. That the death-rate is 10
per cent. per aInum (omitting the Dade
coal company, and that in two camps it
has averaged Is per cent. per annum for
two years, and in another it was, for four
months, 10 per cent. per month, or 40
per cent. for four months.

How Millionaires Invest Their Money.

How M1lllOnaireS Invest Their Money.
It is surprising that money-lenders
are so indisposed to accept out-of-town
securities. Such, however, is the case,
and hence, while millions are waiting
investment, lenders will not notice ap-
plications from the country. One
journal advertises nearly 100000, but
city security is wanted. Nearly one
half the above sum is offered by one
broker, who represents several large
estates. Heavy loans on the very best
property can be had at 5 per cent, but
ON second-rate property, such as tene-
ment houses, livery stables, ETC., 6 per
cent. is demanded. The Astors do not
lend on mortgage, but prefer Govern
ments The reason is found in their
objection to appearing in the public
prints as parties to foreclosure suits.
Other prominent capitalists, such as
James Lenox, Peter Goelet and Robert
L. Stuart, adopt similar policy. They
purchase frst-class railway bonds in
in large sums; also, city bonds, the is
sue of which amounts to $12O,0OO,OOO,
This personal property is very carefully
kept. The Astors have a large safe,
which is always guarded. It probably
contains $25,00O,00O of such securities.
The Safe Security Company probably
has $100,O00,000 in it's care, and here no
robbery or defalcation has ever been
known. It is probable $800,00O,O00 of
personal property is held in this city, al
most all Of which escapes taxation.
This estimate does not include mer-
chandise, but simply capital. -Neao

Queer Way TO Put in Seed.

Two rival land agents were staying at
the same hotel in village where they
were disposing of " locations" for their
respective companies.
One of them, from Colorado, had
publicly run down the quality of the
land vended by the other, who was
from Kansas. He related how he and
friend were out prospecting once in q
"putty tough" bit of country, and how
they came across man who comported
himself like an escaped lunatic. This
man was described to be as "lean as a
spring bear" and as preoccupied as a
team of oxen turned loose on buffalo
grass" Not noticing the travellers, he
went on loading and discharging u
double -barrelled gun, always aiming at
some crevice or opening in the rocks,
which lay in great profusion around
Finally convinced that he was a lunatic,
the travellers determined TO treat him as
such-and that was mighty evil"
"Good day, stranger" they said.-

piled
"Why, nothing, only corrected her

customers Only yesterday she came
in and asked me how I sold those
