The meeting at the Westminster church,
yesterday, was one of the most successful OF
the series held by Stebbins and Pentecost
since their arrival. The usual devotional
exercises were gone through with and the
following requests for prayer were read: A
brother desired prayer for his sister wild
owed mother for her son and daughter for
young man who had attended all the meet
ings held by the revivalists but still would
not yield to the voice of Jesus. Mr.. Pente-
cost prayed that the requests might be grant
ed, and took for the subject of his remarks
the following passage:
''Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are
true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever
things are just, whatsoever things are pure,
whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever
things of good repute; if there be any virtue,
and if there be any praise, think Oh these
things"
The bible class at Centenary church was
attended by about the same number, if not
the same persons, as those who attended at
previous meetings, and Mr.. Pentecost COM
menced his series of lectures upon the bible.
His object is to first show from internel evil
dence what the bible is, and next how it
should be read with profit by seekers after
truth.
At PLYMOUTH CHURCH
in the evening there did not seem to be much
change either in the numbers or persons Of
the congregation. The church was comfort
ably filled, but if need called for it, hun.
dred or 80 more could have been easily
crowded in. Mr.. Pentecost addressed him.
self to the task of answering some of the
objections raised against the doctrine Of
future punishment.
To-day the meetings will be at the same
times and places as those of yesterday.

Two country lads came at an early hour
to market town, and arranging their lit
tie stands, sat down to wait for customers.
One was furnished with fruits and veg
etables of the boys own cultivation, and
the others supplied with Holsters and fish.
The market hours passed along, and each
little merchant saw with pleasure his
stores steadily decreasing, and an equiv
alent, in silver shining in his little money
cup. The last melon lay ON Harry's stand,
when gentleman came by, and placing
his hand upon it said:
what a fine large melon! What do
you ask for it my boy?"

though it looks very fair, there is an un-

Poverty in England.

There are more persons begging OF
starving to-day in England, than ever be-
fore. The warehouses and poor-hOuses
are overlooking. Five hundred persons
in WOlverhamptOn, manufacturing
town just out of Birmingham, are break
ing stone, earning from twenty-five to
fifty cents per day. A sad case at ToX-
teth Park shows how the poor live. A
widow with her six small children, all
living on bare boards in chamber only
twelve feet by six, was found dead
smOthered by the fumes of Il pail of coke
left burning. Many families never taste
meat from one month to another, living
entirely on bread and beer, and some
one month to another, living entirely on
baked potatoes.
The reason for this poverty just now is
because the mills are closed, and the poor
can find nothing to do. Of course there
are other reasons why there are so many
paupers in England. The country is toe
full. The United States have about sixty
times more land than England, and yet
she has almost as many people as we have
They spend, too, for whisky and beer
twelve times as much as for clothing; and
this alone will soon spoil any country
Very few can buy home there, because
the land is owned by a small number OF
large landholders, who use thousands OF
acres for deer parks; and people are apt
to waste money when they do not save il
to buy homes. Her army, too, costs hel
more than we pay for all our public
schools. She must change some of these
things, if she wants her people to be com

A Silver Anniversary.

Yesterday afternoon, the 10th inst, the
Mason s. Hamlin Organ Company cele-
brated by dinner at Young's Hotel the
twenty fifth anniversary of the com
mencement of their business, which by
its own merits has grown to large pro-
portions. AT the start the capacity of
their works was two or three melOdeons
per week, the best of which sold for
about one hundred dollars each; their
present capacity is over two hundred
cabinet organs per week, and they are
most of the time behind orders, while
their best productions now command
five hundred dollars each, and in excep-
tional cases several times this amount.
In numbering their instruments they
have reached 100000, having actually
made and sold nearly that number.
Organs of their make have obtained an
extraordinary reputation all over the
world, and are sold in every civilized
country where the tariff is not so high as
to be prohibitory. Musicians recognize
in them distinguishing excellence in
quality of tone, the result, in large meas
ure perhaps, of peculiar skill in UoicSng
reeds, an art which originated with this
company. But in every respect it has
always been principle with them to
make in each detail the best instruments
possible and sell them as low as pos
sible. The skillful carrying outiof this
policy has resulted in this great success

Farming i'm the South.

The opinion so generally prevails that
farming in the South is no longer profit
able, because the white man does not care
for farm work, and the black man does
not know how to do it, that few believe
any statements that appear once in a
while, that some few have made some
money out of it. But the Virginia Agricuz-
tural Society's Monthly Journal is willing
to testify to one case of profit. 1t says:
"A gentleman from Charlotte county,
whose name, were we TOP ive it, would be
ample guaranty for the truth of any state
ment he makes, called in at the Agricul-
tIraI Office not long since and gave us a
most cheering account of his successful
farming since the war; He told us that
he had employed now the negro hands
who had been continuously with him
since the emancipation, and although he
kept no overseer and did not give to his
farming operations the close personal at
tentiOn he bestowed in his younger days,
yet his crops were as we'll cultivated, his
stock as we'll cared for as formerly, and
that he had made money year by year
Notwithstanding the low prices of farm
products. Amongst other things he spoke
of corn crops from eight to ten barrels,
wheat from fifteen to twenty-three bush
els. and last year yield of /, 200 pounds
of tobacco to the acre. Upon inquiry we
ascertained that he paid out about eighty
dollars per annum for fertilizers, and
spent thirty -four dollars per pear in news
papers. This looks as if brains were as
good fertilizer as either blood or bone. "

Harry, what fool you were to show

Now you can take it home for your pains,
or throw it away. How much wiser is he
about those Holsters caught yesterday
Sold them for the same price / did the
fresh ones. He would never have looked

He was rathera well-dressed man, with
a long mustache, and he wore eyeglasses.
AS he approached the cigar-case the pro-

see what was wanted.

''I'm glad to have met you; / think I'll

SPECIAL TO THE HhRAIp

SAN FRANCISCO, September 20. -
immediately upon the announce
ment OF the approach of the City OF
Toxic, this afternoon, a tug con-
tanning the Reception Committee
steamed outside the heads, and the
party boarded the steamer. There
was no formality, the Commander
81 mply informing General Grant of
the programme prepared for bis re-
ception. In few minutes the
Government steamer Mcpherson
came alongside, having on board
Gener al Mcdowell and staff, who
also boarded the Toxic As the
ste amers approached the Heads,
the guns of the forts and bat
teries opened fire, amid which,
seconded by the steamers and
zach ts, all gaily decorated, the To-
kio moved slowly up the haibor
Every emiueuce com auding q
view of the channel aud the pier
heads along the city front, were
crowded with people, who cheered
the flOtilla enthusiastically as 1t
passed. The Toxic came to anchor
| off Market street, and Grant and
his party were transferred to the
ferry steamer Alameda. Mean
time, an immense concourse of peo-
pie had assem- bled on the street and
vicinity. AS Grant stepped ashore
the band struck up Home Again"
He was met at the gangway 10y
Mayor Bryant, the Board of super
vlsors, the Executive Committee
and Governor Irwin and staff.
The Mayor received the guests with
an address of welcome, to which
the General responded with his
proverbial brevity. He was then
conducted to his carriage and the
procession took its line of march
up Market street to montgomery,
to the avenue, to Kearney, to Mar
ket; countermarching on Market
to the triumphal arch erected at
the Intersection of New Montgom-
cry street. All along the line of
march bonfires blazed, fireworks
were let off, the win
dows were illuminated, while
crowds packed the sidewalks ami q
continuous call of cheers followed.
The procession, after being passed
in review, disbanded, and General
Grant entered the Palace Hotel,
where quarters had been prepared
expressly for his reception. An i'm
mense crowd thronged the great
court, pressing forward TO catch a
sight of him as he alighted. He
was conducted at once to his rooms,
while chorus of five hundred
voices in the court rendered an ode
conp posed for the occasion. Mean
while, the veterans of the late war
proceeded to the sand Lots, where
a battery was stationed, and sa-
lutte fired. 1t was announced that,
after brief delay, General Grant
would appear on the balcony of the
Palace court for few moments
and perhaps address the crowd
briefly. The whole demonstration
passed off in the most satisfactory
and enthusiastic manner.
