How are the Mighty Fallen.

MIR. EDIToR:-Some time ago Williston
Chapel was established in the western part of
Danforth street for missionary work. The enter
prise was most successful and large congre-
cation grew up under its mnistrations. Finally
the society established and erected a fine
church on Thomas street, which is an orna-
ment to its surroundings, and the society is in a
flourishing condition. The old chapel was
sold and has come, we are informed, into the
possession of a man who has taken out the
pews, turned the building into a dance-house,
an annoyance and eyesore to the neighborhood
The other night there was fighting going on
there and the police had to be called in to
keep order, 1t seems pity that such an end
should have befallen this simple and unpre-
tending chapel building. CITIZEN.

American Connection,

The London Globe says the United
States may justly claim to be going
AHEAD" in their export business, what
ever may be thought of their boosted
progress in other directions. Unhap-
PLY for us, this form of prosperity
chances to be the very most likely
to be secured at u expense. For,
while our transatlantic cousins are send
ing us largely-increased quantities of
their goods every year, they show less
and less inclination to return the favor
by taking our commodities. From
some valuable statistics, published in
the Manchester Courier, it appears
that while the value of the total exports
from the United States was only ESQ.,
122,895 in 1868, it had reached e141,-
814,430 in 1878, being an increase of
e85, 692, 1886, or at the rate of about
e. 900 per annum. In the last
year, however, Of this decennial period
the increase wa close on s19,000,000-
q strong indication that the competition
our manufacturers encounter from this
quarter is likely to become more and
more embarrassing. On the other
hand, the net imports of merchandise
have fallen of steadily since 1873, al
though the population must now be
considerably larger than it was at the
former date, and the demand for Eu.
ropean goods ought, therefore, to be SC
much the greater. The natural infer.
ence to be drawn from these suggestive
statistics seems to be that, while Ameri'
can manufacturers are gradually mo.
nopolizing the whole of their own mar
kets, and thus BUSTING from them oul
merchants, they are also attacking, with
not a little success, the chief centers o.
demand in Europe.

EXPENSIVE Economy.

The rebuilding of the famous Eddy
stone lighthouse has revealed q curious
bit of most expensive economy. twill
be remembered that, after one structure
had been destroyed by storm and an
other by fire, John Smeston undertook
the task which was successfully COM
pleted more than 100 years ago. He
secured a perfect foundation for the
massive pile by an ingenious system of
dovetailing, which fixed the lower
courses of stone into the solid rock of
the reef. But he discovered, after the
entire work was finished, a small cavern
in the reef, Immediately under the
foundations, which might, he thought,
prove a source of trouble at some dis
tant period in the future. He estimat-
ed the cost of filing up and properly
cementing at $3.50, and recommended
it should be done Immediately. But ii
never was done, and now the danger
which Smeaton predicted, and would
have guarded against, has actually ar
rived. The incessant action of the
waves, assisted, perhaps, by the weight
and vibrations of the tower above, has
enlarged the caverns until the founda.
tons can no longer be trusted. The
old lighthouse will be torn down to
high-water level, and a new one built
about. 100 feet southeast of it. Had
Smeaton's advice been followed there
is every reason to believe that the
building with which his name is insep-
arably associated would have stood
forever. SO the $3.50 saved was 9
great many thousands lost-sayine
nothing of the possibilities of failures
in the attempt now in progress.

Old Man RaAer,. harder

Frank stechler, tho youngest of the Rabcr
murdercre, (the deed of which was committed
near Lebanon, Pa, and previously mentioned
in these columns,) has made a confession. He
alleges that Peters, the principal witness in the
prosecution, had previously gone with Dreus
and Raber to the stream in which Drews and
Peters intended to drown the old man, and
that Peters subsequently purchased chloroform
or ether at Johnstown to give Raber after
these two failures to kill Raber, Stechler was
employed. He knew nothing of the parties en-
gagged in sAe conspiracy. His communications
have been solely with Drews, who was to pay
him $l2o for the part he took in it. He con-
fcssed that he (stechler) got Raber by his legs
and threw him in the water and jumped upon
him, and that Drcws got hold of him (Stech-
lerl and pressed him down in the water.
