Carries the Jury with Her.

Mrs. Gordon, the first lawyeress
who ever addressed JUICY IN San
Francisco, recently defended a man
accused Of murder. She was dress
ed in black, and for her only orna-
mcnt wore rose in her corsage.
When she entered the court room,
a general thrill of emotion ran
through the auditory; but this the
lady feigned not to perceive. In
the course of the harangue. the ap
plause broke forth many times, al
though they were severely sup
pi essed. At the end the jury pro-
Douhced a verdict of acQuittal,
which provoked an enthusiasm. 1t
is said that Mrs Gordon is young
and beautiful, and at the same time
elegant. and that she was literally
able TO carry the jurors off their
feet, If the acquitted individual
was guilty, how lucky 1t was for
him that he chose this young and
beautiful lady as the advocate of
his defense"

The Episcopal Church and its Pastor.


Clinton tSt John Mch.) Independent.
li- Editor: The Episcopal church
of ST. John, like other churches of
this denomination. is one of neat
ness aud beauty. It's appearance
is becoming, pleasant and attrac-
tive.
We wish to make few remarks
respecting the present incumbent
of This church, the Rev. DR.. Cross,
who is IA gentleman of scholarly at
.taiuments and ability. These are
suf1icieAt to command the atten
tentiOn of any audience. His fine
and powerful voice Is able TO reach
the remotest portions of the house
En- the beautiful and impressive ser
vice Of this church it finds abun>
dant room for expression. His
mastery of elocu,iou imparts new
life and meaning to the several
scripture lessons which are read
every Sabbath. The pronunciation
is SO excellent that every syllable
may be distinctly heard. AS
preacher, DR.. Cross shows cultured
talent, learning and general knOwl-
edge. His treatment OF a subject
is comprehensive and exhaustive.
Language is well chosen, direct and
tcrse. In theology he Is strictly
scriptural. No words fall from his
lips that SAVIOR of false teaching.
There is no sign of any new depar-
ture CIR remodeled gospel in his SER
mons. He makes no concession to
the advanced thoughts of the age
Gods truth is held to retain it's SUI
premacy anI stability over all mu.
tations Of time and the discoveries
that occur in the world. There is
no surrender of doctrinal principle
if it he obnoxious to the free thinks
ers of our day. In dealing With
tho insc, utable truths of Gods
word. ra;iOnalism is not exalted
above revelation, but rather true
Christian faith obtains exercise.
TIE penalties, judgments aud pun
isliments of the public are not kept
back, but faithfully proclaimed, as
likewise the rich mercies and glO.
rlous promises. DR.. C.'s pulpit
gives out no uncertain sounds.
Without compromise he stands on
all of the Fundamental doctrines
of the bible. He believes and
breaches them heartily! There are
no vague statements. You will
not go away, Christian believer,
after hearing one of his sermons,
cropping your way in a dense fog.
His address to the godly and un>
godly is made with that just dis
elimination we find in the bible.
He does not. stop to ask what is
popular, but boldly <proclaims that
man is lost in his natural state.
Tina good works nor amiabie quail.
ties can save him. But to be ac>
cepted Of God, repentance confess
sion and forgiveness of sin through
the atoning merits OF the Lord
Jesus Christ are absolutely neces~
sary. Divine truth is given in the
bold, direct, plain language of the
bible. Conversion with DIR. Cross
is of consciousness and reality, for
he knows out of the depths of heart
experience how to deal out the word
of lite to suit the various wants
and capacities OF the immortal
souls. In short, If anv one wishes
to spend a prof table Sabbath they
will not go away from his church

THE SILENT PREACHER.

A Protestant minister, who formerly
lived in Providence. has hit upon a
novel method of preserving his memory
and continuing his ministry after his
decease. He is having constructed a
granite monument, to which he has Civ
en- the name of 'The Silent Preacher. +"
The dimensions of this monument are
four feet on the back and three and one
half feet on the front, thus giving it
the shape of a sloping desk on the top
on which is carved an open book; the
width across the front and back is two
feet and six inches, while the sides
measure foot and a half deep. The
monument will stand upon a granite
base three feet and four inches by two
feet and four inches, and one foot in
thickness. The open book on the top.
representing the. open Bible, measures
two feet and two inches across its open
pages, with length of thirteen inches.
On this open book is the following: "Be
ready, the time is short. These are the
words ! spake unto you while | was
with you, that after my decease ye
might have them in remembrance" On
the four sides of this tablet, which are
finished perfectly fat and smooth, ap.
pears vast amount of lettering, finely
executed. Beginning on the front there
are ten subjects. as follows: 81. Pre-
cious truth. 2. Immortality. 3. Res.
direction. 4. Judgment, 5. Holiness
safe. Sin dangerous. 6. Sins of Omis
sion. 7. Love in Justification. s
Victory by Faith. 8. Witness of tht
Spirit. 10. Heaven" Under each o.
the foregoing topics are comments anc
scriptural texts. Following directly
under these several topics are twelve
"Human Questions with Divine An
swers." These questions are severally
numbered in consecutive order, and un
der each question appears one or more
scriptural texts. There are upwards o
three thousand two hundred letters upol
this tablet. 1t is made from a fin
block of Westerly granite. 1t is to b
erected in a cemetery at Saratoga. Tn
clergyman says that every summer ther
are thousands who visit the famour wa
ter-place who need just such a teacher
and who have nothing else to do bu

UNITED STATES BONDS.

The wealth, debt and taxation divis-
ion of the tenth census has begun at
Washington an investigation to ascer-
tain the ownership of the registered
bonds of the United States, which ag-
gregate nearly 175,OOO,OOo. The
Secretary of the Treasury has placed
the latest schedules of quarterly divi-
dends of interest at the disposal of the
Superintendent of the census, and the
examination in progress when completed
will show where the Indebtedness of the
country is owned, how much in each
State and Territory, how much in every
city containing more than 10000 in
habitants and how much in foreign
countries. 1t will also show separately
the amount held by banks, insurance
companies and other large corporations.
An interesting feature of this report
will be that it will contain statement
of the number of holders of given
amounts of bonds-SlOO, 200. S1O,-
900, etc., whatever the amount may be !;
also the number of male and female
holders respectively. In order to pre-
serve secrecy of the Treasury records
the names of the holders are not known
even to the clerks engaged in the work,
but only the number and amount of each
account. 1t is expected that the report
when published will correct misap-
prehension quite current, namely, that
the bulk of the debt is in the hands of
large bondholders.

THREE DESPISED RACES.

One Of the recent preachers in the
amphitheatre at Lake Chautauqua was
the Rev. Joseph Cook. His sermon was
an appeal for the black, red and yellow
races in the United States. He charg-
ed upon the Southern churches the re-
sponsibility of Indirectly promoting the
civil war, but predicted that before ano-
ther census is taken the whites will
have outgrown their prejudices against
the blacks. For one, he pledged him
self to labor for the maintenance of the
principles established by the war, to
wipe out all traces of the monstrous
crime Of slavery, and to make sure
"that government Of the people by the
people and for the people shall not per-
ish from the earth" Mr.. Cook, as he
repeated these historic words, grasped
the hand of one of the Fisk Jubilee
Singers, and standing up with him call
ed upon the audience to rise and like
wise pledge themselves. The effect was
electrical the audience, numbering
thousands, rose as one person, and gave
Chautauqua salute. each one waving
white handkerchief. The domonstra-
tion was continued for some moments,
and the colored man sank back in his
chair, his eyes suffused with tears, as
indeed were those of many in that vast
throng Of listeners. The Indian race
were next taken up, and some broad as
sertions were made relating to the cor
ruption and rascality in the Indian SER
vice of the Government. The impor-
tance of the Chinese problem, new routes
opened up, the intellectual progress Of
the race, we're all spoken of, Mr.. Cook
considering the Chinese the most indus.
trious and peaceable people on the Pa
cifc coast. Not alone are China and
Japan the only countries to be regenera'
ted, but there are many others in Asia
and Africa. Mr. Cook said he had
written in the sand on the Pacific shore
"May God hasten the regeneration Of
Asia" He had tried to write it on the
Atlantic coast; and here on the western
edge of the Mississippi valley he would
write it that it might resound from Nj
agara to Pixies Peak. "God gran
that it be not erased" was his closing
ezclamation.-NeaO York Tribune
