that it has stereotypcd the sermon and
can furnish unlimited copies, the paper
adds to its patrons :"You can afford to
circulate this sermon. Its circulation is
worth more TO you than money In gov
ernment bonds, and will bear better in
terest." That is the saloon keepers
test of value. But perhaps sermon by
a Doctor of Divinity was never before

Certainly the spectacle is suggestive.
Rev. DIR. Crosby striving to close sa-

calculated to increase their patronage.

WASHINGTON NOTES.
WASHINGTON, d. G., May 80, 1881

- ~ AsAoy wv AOOls
The latest information received here
from Albany confirms the reports re-
ceived from time to tine during the
week that the reelection of Senators
Conkling and Plat cannot be secured
during the existence of the present
state of feeling in New York. The at
tempt to call caucus last week and
the second failure of the one to be held
tonight, have pretty thoroughly taught
Mr.. Conkling that his election is i'm
possible at this time. What the ex-
senator will do with these facts staring
him in the face is the topic of much
conversation. Many believe that he
will endeavor to delay the election un-
til next December, and, in the mean
time carry the issue to the people, and
let them decide at the polls, between
the two factions. Others believe that
he will, II unable to cause delay, let the
contest come to deadlocks, and in the
time thus given, bargain for Demo-
cratic votes. Some think the outcome
will be tho election of one senator
named by Conkling and another named
by the anti. Conkling men. At any
rate the Democrats will be disappoint-
ed in the anticipated advantage they
expect to derive from this contest, in
the discussion of the whole Republican
party.
There has been an Infamous rumor
started by the New York Sun, implica.
ting Secretary Blaine in the Star route

visit to New York was for the purpose
of putting out of the way some DANA
ging evidence against him. Postmas-
ter General James declares that there
Is no foundation whatever for the story.
Commissioner Of Pensioner Bentley
will soon retire from office.
The failure of the Brazilian line of
