If there is any one thing in which our people
are more deficient than another it is in scientific
progressive Sunday school work With few ex-
ceptions we have no organized work in the
State; and where it exists we find it in the most
crude and primitive form. A State Association
was formed more than year ago, but our most
intelligent communities scarcely know of its ex-
istence or of its objects. Most of the work of
organizing devolves upon the Corresponding Sec
rotary Personal effort and attendance has been
necessary in almost every county where work
has been done. This necessitates slow progress
If the State Society had arranged q small fund
to help bear the necessary expenses We might
have moved more rapidly, rs il is we must do
the best we can.
Our work is 3 work Of love, and we love to
pursue it. We love to meet the good people OF
every community. We love to see the little ones
engaged in Searching the Scriptures" as well
as the older ones And we love to meet in con-
vention and hear the experiences OF faithful
workers - teachers and superintendent. We
love to hear and discuss the different methods OF
teaching and the duties of superintendent. OF
teacher and scholar. We love TO hear the music
of the CHEEKY little voices in the pretty little
hymns; and we love the little girls and the little
boys who make the Sunday school. Indeed, a

Conoley, Esq, private secretary to Governor
Drew, who has travelled quite extensively in the
East, has kindly consented to deliver lecture
upon Turkey before the convention Saturday

Kingston. on.the. Hudson letter: - Mr.
Jay Gould last week ,sited his formfr home
in Delaware county, in this state, and hon
ored Kingston with his presence en- route
While here he spoke his mind freely on the
subject of politics, prophecying the certain
election Of Hancock nnd English. Inconver'
sation with Major Thomas Cornell, the
wealthy forwardyr here, IA Republican by
the-way) Mr.. Gould unhesitatingly said thai
no anticipated the success Of the Democratic
presidential ticket this fall.
"How is that" queried Major Cornell.
"Well," said Mr.. Gould, "the fact Is, &c :
eral Arthur loads down tho Republican
ticket, and aside from that the Democrats
are thoroughly united on Hancock
and English. l have no hope of CARRYING
New York, and | believe that ms goes New
York so will also go New Jewsey, at least
and Connecticut probably.
Mr.. Gould also ventured the remark thst
the Republican "machine" had practically
abandoned the presidential fight and would
henceforth concentrate its efforts upon car
rying the various state legislatures, with the
obvious purpose of contr ling the Uniteu
States senate.
Mr.. Gould's revelations are important only
as exhibiting the fact that what Is called the
money power does not seem to be as much
afraid of the DemocrS ~ as some peop,e
make out, and that the Tribune's lot In tn
contest is not o happy one.

The Enperor.s Little Joke.


It is reported in the Kleine Journal that
the German emperor, after Inspecting
the new barracks of the Second guard dra-
goons in the Picnierstrasse, few days ago,
contrived, while chatting with the officers in
the mess,room, to write few words with a
chalk pencil upon the tunic of the senior
regilnental captain unperceiyed by that OIL
Ger. This done, his majesty left the room
laughing heartily, nccompani' d by the colo.
mel of the regiment, FRINGE Frederick OF
Hohenz ,llern, whereupon the senior staff Of
fcer present walked up to Captain Won s.,
and, TO his utter CONSERVATION, proceeded
TO unfastcn and remove his epsuletteS,
Unconscious OF having committed any
derelction of duty Won 8 remained
motionless while this oTninous operation was
being performed; but MS painful perplexi,ty
gave place to ubilaut eXultation when the
lie ,tenant colonel produced . pair of ma ors
co .ulettes and dexteroualy buttoned them on
his shoulders. The words hastily scrubbed
b, tho emperor upon Captsin Won SIS
uniform were "Zum Major befoerdert" (prc-
noted to muior) and the subsequent details
of Il i, general surprise had been arranged
hy hi. msiestv beforehand with their eSecu-
tant. 1t is said that, in his rejoicing at his
unexpected advancement, tho newlv-made
major called up the senior commissioned
officer of his squadron aud said to him; Ser
geant- major, the squadron is relieved from
DUTY to-day. Let the men have as much to
drink Us they please. lpay for all"

l.,vn STOCK.
anAstonishing surplus Of Moderately
Fat Cattle In the West.

II astonishing how the surplus OF mod
erately fat cattle keeps up in the west. Stock
man are accustomed to see and expect to see
plenty of 200 and l,4Oo pound cattle in
Chicago in the early summer months, but
the runs of these weights have heretofore
been pretty we'll exhausted by midsummer.
This time, however, they are keeping up as
never before, and it don't seem to be much
more difficult to buy stock in the rural re-
pions of the west now than it did three
months ago. These cattle are not offered on
local markets as literally ashley were earlier
in the season, but they form a large part Of
the through runs, and great maby ofthem
are taken for export both alive and dressed
In fact, they form the staple OF tie export
tradA for which heavier stock is not wanted
at this season. The western supplies have
formed a strong competition for grass cat
II .. less of which, proporlionately, have been
u ell bv the butcher trade this season than
we ever knew Of before. Among the many
reasons for this heavy increase Of good cattle
in the west, ono Is that the export Ifsde,
which is fed 'argely at Chicago, has trained
the stoeEmen tributary to Chicago to rs &c
the kind Of cattle wanted. Another Is that
the warm winter left them with plenty Of
food for ripening animals throughout the
season without resorung to grass And
another doubtless is that western farmers are
learning, in common with stockmen every
where, that spring and summer feeding
makes more pounds and consequently more
money than winter feeding, Whether these
cattle will give GU. soon or not, weof course
cannot tell but they will certainly become
more scarce after awhile. At least it looks
now as though those having thick cattle for
sale would do well to be little slow about
putting them on the market The export
trade may have to do as it did last season,
when Chicago's receipts lessened, depend
largely upon the intermediate markets for
stock.

A fashionable Boston tailor has hit upon
novel plan of gratifying his customers with
as many suits of clothes as they may feel
from fashionable prices. He offers to supply
three suits year for $ll7, four suits for
tl42, five suits for 1892, while for $500 per
annum he will agree to lot them have as many
suits Of clothes as they may choose to wear,
the old suits to be returned and the customer
70 have the privilege of two suits at a time.
Under the first three propositions the cost of
each suit would be $50, $50 so and $50 so
respectively, the customer retaining the
clothel. Under the last proposition the
customer may have ten or more suits a year,
at a cost of $40 or less for each suit, on the
simple condition of exchanging the suits that
have been worn for new ones.
