NEW YORK, Dec. 23.-A bridal outfit,
comprising fifty-six lots of goods, was
sold at the custom house auction to-day.
The goods were brought from Paris by
Joseph Leopold, who was passenger in
the steamship Scythia. He is a resident
of Milwaukee, and the owner of line Of
steamships on Lake Michigan. He in
tended them to be the bridal outfit of his
daughter, Miss Rachel Leopold, leader
of fashion in Milwaukee. They were
seized at the Prescott house, on the
ground that he had landed them without
declaring them to be dutiable. The in
spector who passed them was removed.
The government appraiser valued the
outfit at 1000. Mr.. Leopold refused to
reclaim them by paying the penalties re-
quired after they had been forfeited to
the government. The entire outfit sold
for less than $4,000, though there
were many bidders. A white satin
wedding dress, trimmed with Mechlin
lace, appraised at $640, brought $3.50.
Isaac Hall, of Brooklyn, was the buyer.
A white satin embroidered muff to match

The closing hymn, Coronation, was sung
with enthusiasm by the large congregation
present.
The sermon by the Rev. Mr.. Smith, was
from the text: "Behold, bring you good
tidings of geat joy"
The first part of the sermon dwelt upon the
content of the angels song, and was an inquiry
as to the supernatural character Of Jesus
Christ. The question, said the preacher, of
most importance, is whether the angel spoke
truly when he declared that he brought tidings
to the world.
Most men can be readily accounted for by
their surroundings and education.
The evolution of society can be seen in the
production of the most gifted souls. Even
the "myriad-souled Shakespeare began in
Chaucer, and was distinctly foretold by the
precedent school of dramatists. Goethe was
the ripest product of German modern culture
and the renaissance of classic art. Can Jesus
be SO accounted for? The speaker here
sketched the elements of his surroundings,
and found that lie was distinctly differentiated
from the Hebrew, Greek and Roman elements,
which make complete category of his posi-
BILE influences. We must conclude, therefore,
that he was a supernatural person.
The last part Of the sermon dwelt upon the
Joy of these tidings. Jesus realized bis OWE
teaching. he said, "Blessed are the poor ot
spirit" but he himself washed the disciples
feet. He said. "Blessed are the merciful, >
and he fed the hungry and healed the sick
he said: "Blessed are they that hunger ani
thirst after righteousness" and by nights Of
watching and prayer, he has taught us wha
he meant. He said: "Greater love hath NJ
man than this, that man lay down his lif
for his friends" and God commendeth his low
toward us In that while we were sinner
Christ died for us.
The sermon closed with pointing out tn
means by which each hearer might realize TO
himself "Merry Christmas.

The services at the House of Hope on
Christmas we're exceedingly interesting The
pastor, Rev. David R. Breed, addressed his
people specially with reference to the call
which had been rendered to him abous three
weeks ago by the second Presbyterian church
Of Chicago and which led to his recent visit
to that city.
The call was presented In very delicate
manner without auy premonition or even first
hearing his preaching, and with singular
unanimity. The salary was fixed at Sc, 600 per
year.
Mr.. Breed felt 1t duty az well as a
proper and courteous recognition OF such q
compliment, to make the visit referred to-.
Upon his arrival there, his call was seconded
not only by pressing invitations and argu.
ments Of members of that congregation, but
also By large number of the Chicago clergy
men. Mr.. Breed after referring in his address
to these incidents then adverted in
the most feeling manner and
eloquent terms to the recent well-known DEM
onstrations OF his people and the public urging
his stay: As the beloved pastor proceeded in
this most interesting part Of his address his
audience were carried along with him In
the most intimate sympathy. and mauy one
was noticed weeping and and overcome by
emotion. In conclusion Mr.. Breed announced
to his people His final decision to remain
with them informing them that he
had the day before arrived at this decision
and transmitted declination of the call. He
assured his people that the recent manifesto
tions of their attachment and love for him
was accepted by him as his most welcome and
grateful Christmas gift, which he most
heartily reciprocated in his decision. It was
indeed a most happy Christmas for the con-

The ConsstecE Under a Cloud.
rSan Francisco Bulletin.1

After yielding over $500, 100000 and
enriching many thousands, the great
Comstsck lode Of Nevada has for the
past four years been mainly worked by
the contributions of those who still retain
an interest in is development. During
these feur years The bullion produced has
been gradually growing less. For the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1881, Storey
county is credited with yield af $2,-
340, 900. For the first nine months of the
current calendar year, the yield was only
1912 900, and for the last third of that
period the yield was only Gle, ,300 Should
the total for the last quarter be as large
as for the third, the result for the year
1881 would be only 81, ,145, 200. Old friends
of the Comstock will note in these figures a
strange contrast with the yield few years
ago, when a single mine, in single month,
produced more bullion than the whole
Comstock lode now produces in whole
year. But for the power to levy and col
lect assessments, work would have
to be abandoned, and the miles of levels
and drifts would soon be filled with water
and debris. There are over one hundred
claims on the Comstock lode, though on
good many of them no work has been
done for some time; and it will depend
on the finding of an ore body whether
any more will be done on these temporar1-
| ly abandoned CLAIMS More or less work
has been performed on about fifty Com
stock claims during the past year, but
they have not only absorbed over $5 ,00O,-
600 in assessments during the past year,
but they have also used up their entire
bullion product for the year, estimated at
over 81 100, 600. The industry has been
rather an expensive luxury to those who
! have had to maintain it.
