STILL AMONG US.
Rev. VIM. LIoyd's Opinion of tn,
Condition OF Departed Souls.
From the Kew York Sum.

From the New York Sun.
The subject of the Rev. William
Lloyd's sermen in the Central Con-
gregational Church, Madison avenue
and T Forty-soyenth street, yesterday
morning, was, Departed Souls Still
Interested in those Who Remain"
The preacher said that Chrlsts reap
pearance to certain of His disciples on
the shore of lake in Galilee demon
strated the probability OF the return
OF our own dead friends to the scenes
familiar to them when in their earthly
life.
"Christ showed His disciples" said
the Rev. Mr.. Lloyd, that death had
not robbed Him of His personality,
that His identity was continued, that
He was the same gentle, tender man
that He was before His crucifXion. If
Christ could mingle with the friends
He lett behind Him why cannot we,
when we have passed beyond the veil,
mingle with our friends1 l comet
think that death sewers GUS connection
With, our interest in, or our knOwl-
edge of the world or the people in it.
II Chris,'s interest in this lite never
suffered dininut: on, why should ours
l believe the dwel.ers in the unseen
Holy world are consciously interested
in US.
death is not gull it is simply a
veil between this lite and the next.
The law that developes our life here
will develope it hereafter. We err in
our conception OF the other life in sup
posin il to be unlike this life. The
visible puts on the invisible. Because
we cannot see our dead friends with
the eyes of the senses is no proof that
they are not upon the earth. Ii our
eyes were spiritual enough,if we could
get rid of the grossness that encOm-
passes us, we could probably see our
d dsparted friends around Us acting and
conversing. 1t is incredible to me that
we should, after death, lose an interest
in this earth. There is an ineradicable
| instinct that prevents man from for
getting his birthplace. The heaven In
| which the human affections are to be
swallowed up is upattractive to me
Mutilated would that life be which
should strip me of my human friend
chips and loves To enter into 8 pas
siOnless rest in which there are me u
and women and not be able to touch
them would not be a particle of heaysu
| for me-"
After quoting several verses from s
poem relating to the subject of his ser.
mon the preacher concluded by saying
that there were other thing he w0ulG
like 10 cay, but he thought the cengre
btion could net bear them.

A Methodist Mintstcr the Victen
Of q Joke Intended for Au0theP.

A Methodist Mintster the victen N,
Of q Joke Intended for Auother.
A sensational and highly amusing
story is going the rounds in Wooster,
Ohio, of ludicrous episode, in which
q young Methodist minister was vic
tlmized into the role of leading char
acter. Owing to the high social stand
ing of the parties concerned we sup
press the names, the general outlines
Of the funny occurrence being rs fol-
lows:
ladies have been visiting a lady cousin
living in the country, not far from
Wooster. These young misses are of
that happy age which turns everything
into fun and merriment, and were con-
stantly playing practical jokes upon
each other. All three occupied room
on the ground floor, that which IN
UOlntry parlance is termed 1.-the best
room" The two visiting young ladies
on a particular evening went to party
in the neighbOrhoOd. About an hour
after they had left, the aforesaid young
minister called and craved q nights
lodging, which was, of course, granted,
and as ministers always have the best
siSred tc the best ro0m." The young
lady who had not gone to the parry
was entrusted with the duty of sitting
up for the absent ones aud informing
chem of the change of rooms. She
took up her post in the parlor, and, as
the night was sultry, sleep overlook
her and she departed on an excursion
to the land of dreams. About half
past eleven o'clock the sprightly cous-
ms returned, and rs it was late they
concluded not to disturb the household
so they quietly stole into their room
through low open window. By the
dim light of the moonbeams as they
struggled through the curtains the
young ladies were enabled to descry
the outlines of their cousin, as they
supposed, ensconced in the middle of
the bed. They saw also q pair of
boots. The thought flashed across
their minds their cousin had set the
boots in the room to give them good
scare. They put their heads together
and decided to turn the tables on her.
Silently they disrobed, and stealthily
as cats took up their positions on each
side of the bed. At given signal they
both jumped into bed, one on each side
of the unconscious divine, laughing
and screaming, "Oh, what a man ="
giving the poor, bewildered minister
such prOmiscuOus hugging and tuss-
ling as few persons are able to brag of
in life time The noise of the pro-
ceeding awakened the sleeping senti-
mel in the parlor and the old lady who
was sleeping in an adjoining room and
they rushed to the scene, explaining
the situation. There was one pro-
longed, consolidated scream, dash of
muslin through the door, and all was
over. The best of the joke was that
the minister took it all III earnest, and
would listen to no excuse or apology,
bat solemnly folded his official robes
about him and silently stole away

my Trip Through southern Mich.

igan.
My first stopping place was Detroit,
where 1 arrived on the morning of the
10th of September. 1t rained for one
or two days, giving the city gloomy
appearance. All was excitement. The
condition of the President was all that
could be heard. Business was sus-
pended at his death and draping the
city engrossed the attention of the peO-
pie. For the first time beheld a city
clad in mourning. L cannot begin to
describe the city as it looked to me.
Even the delivering wagons had q
photograph of our late President fast
ened to them and small flag at half
mast.
Across the street from the City Hall
stands the Soldiers Monument. Mich
igan's emblem crowns the monument.
Quite an improvement has been made
to it by the addition of four bronze
statues, which were imported from
Rome.
Elmwood Cemetery is a beautiful
place. All that could be done to make
I" the City of the Dead" attractive has
been done. The cite is picturesque.
Two, at least, of Michigan's great men
moulder there, viz: Zach. Chandler
and Gen. Cass. Senator Chandler is
buried on a hill, his tomb being mark
ed by a pure white monument, con-
sisting of a single spire, fifty feet high.
Bloody Run" separates the resting
places of these two great men.
The country from Detroit to Owasso
presents much the same appearance as
the land in Northern Ohio. The
marshes produce Cranberries and
Whortieberries in abundance. was
surprised to see apples in such abund-
ance. The corn crop does not look as
well as it does here. Wheat is in good
condition and good deal has been
sOwn.
Seven miles northwest of Owasso
lies the little village of West Haven.
The Shiawassee river affords good
water power, which has been utilized.
Many mills and manufacturing estab-
lishments are situated upon its banks.
Still farther north we find Chesaning.
Within three or four miles Of this
place are two indian settlements. The
indians are initiating their white
neighbOrs in their manner of living.
The farms are not all cleared and the
houses are small and dreary looking,
but the land looks well. Rail fences
are used for dooryard fences as gen.
eral thing in this country. Along the
banks of the Shiawassee you can see
the towering pines, but most of the
trees are deciduOus.

Up to last Saturday there had been
Al carloads of stone hauled from the
Windham quarry for the Court House
improvement. Each car contained
26, 600 pounds or IL tons, making total

best quality of building stone to be
found in the State. 1t has all been
hauled from the cars by Mr.. w. p.
Clark, and does not include the stone
for vault floors which is from the
Berea quarry, or that for backing and
walls from the quarry in this town.
