I gational Church The value of the article
 consists in the fuIlness with which it states the history and aims of the council, and in so far I it is an important contribution to American church history. MT. Boynton wants the coun- oil to dispense with voting, and he wishes to deprive it of it's advisory functions. The notioe of Hoppin's Henry Armitt Brown is quite full, and more than two dozen new pub
 ications are briefly commented upon.
 Part fifth of the second volume of Mrs.
 Martha J. Lambs ''History of the City of
 New York" will be found more interesting, if
 possible, than any previous part All the
 varied and exciting events of the summer and autumn of 177s, and the year 1779, are deftly grouped, and the narrative is embellished with matters illustrative of character, biographical and genealogical information, etc. It treats of the battle of Monmouth, the arrival of the French fleet, the reception of the first French minister by Congress, the destruction of Wyo- ming, the fire and the explosion in New York city, with picture of the New York prisons, citizens and general affairs, the forays in all directions, the attack upon New Haven, the
 burning of Fairfield and Norwalk, the storm ing of Stony Point, the capture of PauIas Hook, Sullivan's expedition. the Southern army, the cold winter, life in Washington's Camp at Morristowp, Hamilton's courtship and mar riage, the burning of New Jersey towns, the battle of Springfield, the treason of Benedict Arnold, the execution of Andre, and the con- quering progress of Lord CornwalIis in the Carolinas. Mrs. Lamb shows with singular clearness how New York city was the central point around which the chief events of the war revoived. The full page illustration represents wooded scene on the opposite shore of the Hudson, with Washington viewing New York city from that picturesque point. One of the most notable DOT traits in this number is of Hamilton, copied from the painting by Trumbull, in the pos session of the Chamber of Commerce. It has never before been reproduced, and reveals more of the Scotch strength and French vivacity of the great inancier than any other picture extant. There is also beautiful DOT trait of Mrs. Hamilton; and one of Dr. John Cochrane, copied from a rare and valuable miniature. The old Verplanck mansion is among the illustrations and the two houses then standing on the site of the Astor House, the homes of Walter Rutherford and Colonel William AxteI.

Those who object to the civil damage law of Massachusetts and have been trying to get a substitute for 1t passed have been defeated. The substitute bill, shoss provisions VIC re- ferred to the other day, was refused sngross- ment in the Senate by the close vote of 19 to 20. A variety of amendments had been pro- posed and voted down, and 8 vote was also taken on the simple proposition to repeal the present law without providing any substitute.
 The subject has therefore been presented in almost every possible form, and majority of the Senate. every member being in his seal,

One of the workers of the world
 Living toiled and toiliDg died; But others worked and the world went on, And was not changed when he was gone, strong arm stricken, wide sail furled;
 And only few men sighed. One of the heroes of the world
 Fought to conquer, then fought to fail,
 And fell down slain ill his blood-staiued mail, And over his form they stept; His cause was lost and his banner furled; And only woman wept. One of the singers aGong mankind
 Sang healing songs from o'erwrought heart :; But ere men listened the grass and wind Were wasting the rest unsung like wave;
 And of his fame that will ne'er depart He has never heard in his grave. One of the women who only love
 Loved and grieyed and faded sway; An mel are these gone to the God above,
 What more of each can say? They are human flowers that flower and fall, This is the song and the end of them all.

Newspaper Advertising Bureau

Advertisers who want to reach the best papers printed in the leading towns.
 There is a constant call upon us to make a selection for advertisers and to name favorable prices at which adver- Using may be secured.
 There is a wide difference between the prices demanded by newspapers for an advertisement to be inserted a month and one which is to appear for a year. Experienced and successful advertisers contract for the longest period; but there are many who are prevented from doing this by the nature of their advertisement, OF because the adver- tisement is one which they wish to try experimentaIIy before making com tracts for any extended time.
 Bearing in mind the wants of adver- tisers we have agreements with lead- ing local papers in every State by which we insert advertisements for a single month at prices apprOxImating the yearly rate.
 So great is the reduction from regular monthly rates, that advertisers do not understand hoIv the advertising can be secured for the price which we name. For Instance: in the State of COnaecti- cut, B list of IS selected Daily and Weekly papers. which would cost S65.17 if contracted with singIy, we arc able to offer for 826.
 We secure a paper at the State capital,
 one in each town having as much as 1000 populations ,and at the court house town in pepulOus and wealthy cOun. tiess

missing from the safe of this office, A thor

the funds had been distracted by Charles +.
Herring, Deputy Auditor, who died Novem-
ber 29th, 1879. There is no evidence that a
single dollar of the missing funds belonged
to deceased soldiers; on the contrary the bulk
of 1t consisted of bonds taken from soldiers
at draft rendezvous in 1864 and 1865 as secu-
rity against their desertion. 1t is also said
that as neither the money nor bonds have been
called for the soldiers from whom they were
taken became bounty Jumpers"

verse to his personal character; yet,
like poor Tray, he is found in bad com
pany. He heads the ticket of party
whose record his military fame cannot
disguise or condone. That record for
the last twenty years is matter of
history, and by it the party must and
will be judged.
Who got up the RebellionP The
Democratic party at the South. Who
during the war sympathized with this
RebellionP The Democratic party at

tion in 1862 The Democratic party.

ments and for long time after their
adoption declared them to be uncon-
stitutionally ratifedP The Democratic
party. Who are opposed to legislation
for carrying these amendments
into effectP The Democratic party.
Who are opposed to Federal cleo
tion laws to protect the ballot-boX
when members of the House of
Representatives are elected? The
Democratic party. Who hold the doc
trine of State-rights in sense incon-
sistent with the supremacy of the Ma
tional Government The Democratic
party. Who has suppressed the Negro
vote at the SouthP The Democratic
party at the South. Who has failed to
protest against this outrage? The

election, to buy the Electoral Colleges
of Oregon, Florida and South Carolina?
The Presidential candidate of the Dem
ocratic party.
These questions and answers, and
many similar ones, have their basis in
the solid facts of history. There is no
doubt about them. The Democratic
party has made the record. 1t has pre-
served its own organic identity while
making it, and is to be judged of by the
whole of it. 1t is the same party that
was false during the war, and has ever
since been false to the proper results
thereof. Good and honest men there
are in the party; but the party itself, as
political organization, has an exceed
ingly bad character. 1t is not fit to be
trusted with the management of this
Government and can nominate no ticket
that ought to be elected. No matter
who heads its ticket, it is the same old
party and there stands its record

AdulteratiOn of Groceries.

THE Massachusetts, Board of Health
reports that authorizations of staple gro
ceries are not as common as the public
have heen led to suppose. For the pur-
pose of test, the expert of the Board
took samples of flour, sugar, bread
soda, cream of tartar and baking pow
ders, obtained in stores in forty cities
and towns. The flour was found in all
instances to be wholly free from foreign
substances, and, with the exception of
one or two coarse varieties of brown
sugar, no adulteration was perceptible
in that article; and in these isolated
cases there was reason for thinking that
the defects were due to imperfections
in the process of manufacture. The
soda examined, although sold under a
variety of names, such as saleratus, BIZ
carbonate, supercarbonate and cooking
soda, was all found to be much the same
article, and nearly all of it good. The
poor soda was that which had not been
properly purified of the crude soda ash,
but this sulphate is not injurious to
health. Baking powders were found to
be pure in twenty-four instances out Of
thirty-three. The adulteratiOn con-
sisted in an excess of flour or starch
over that needed for mixing the soda
and cream or tartar. There was also
some alum found. In cream of tartar a
considerable amount of adulteration
was detected.
