The daughte- of George w. Lee, q New
ark, New Jersey, merchant, was married in
church, Saturday, and at the close of the
ceremony he stepped up, kissed the bride,
and fell dead of heart disease, at her feet.
Professor Proctor, director of the geo
logical survey of Kentucky, eulogized that
STATE at farmers club meeting recently.
Speaking of the prosperity there, he said
that at recent horse sale a negro, who had
been slave, had bid on racer against
Lorillard as high as So 900.
Senator Hear of Massachusetts said in
his recent address before the graduates of
Yale College Law School: 81 hope to see
our profession everywhere return TO it's
ancient and healthy adherence of contin-
gent fees and everything that savors of
speculation in justice. When you are
once known to the people, not as masters
Of the law, but as Traders and traffickers
seeking your own gain, the virtue has gone
out of you.
Mr.. John Shepard of Boston has the sat-
isfaction of beating Vanderbilt and making
the best double-team time on record. Mr..
Vanderbilt, few days since, drove his IA
vorite road team, Small Hopes and Lvsan
der OF Fleetwood park, making this mile in
2.A 3-8, the best ever shown. Last Satur-
day Mr. Shepard drove his new pair, Mill
Boy and Blondine, at Beacon park, in
2. 23s3-i. beating Mr., Vanderbilt by one
second. The horses were driven to top
buggy and the time was taken BY three
gentleman, the watches varying from 2.23-
Ia to 2. % Sd. Mr.. Shepard was content
to take the slowest time. Mill Bow vas
purchased q short time since in Philadel-
phia, the figures being $4,000. He was
formerly known as Stemwinder Blondine
was owned by Mr.. Shepard last season.
Researches among the pastors and treas
urers of New England churches show that
about two thirds Of the churches pay their
ministers promptly and in full, while one
third attend to the business on the 'seo-as-
you-please" method. In many cases esrec-
tally in the country and in small
towns, the pay is small and the min
listers, even if promptly paid what is
agreed upon, have to study the virtues Of
the narrowest economy. The donation
party nuisance prevails to limited extent,
but by no means SO widely as in former
years. It has been found most unsatis-
factory end expensive way Of supplement
ing the manners of people who try to starve
their pastor on half salary and make up
the rest out of alleged donations Of mer-
chandise he does not want.

The decline of the shipbuilding industry,

The decline of the shipbuildin industry,
which formerly gave so much prosperity to
New England, can be appreciated by q
comparison between 1855 and 1880. In the
former year the tonnage of the vessels built
was 1926, 429. In the latter it was only 49,
374, the smallest aggregate since 1850, with
the exception of 1852. war year. The
substitution of iron for wooden craft, and
Of steam power for sails. may have much to
do with the decline, but senseless accu-
mutation of protective duties on many vari-
cites Of building material is the chief trou-
BILE. AS it's, whole districts on the coast Of
Maine, which were once f1ourlshing, are now
rapidly falling into decay. Too much pro-
lection has killed the business; but in no
state are they more solid protect onists than
in Maine

Nervous Irrtability Sciatica and all painful Nerv-
Gus Diseases.-A treatise by well known physi-
clan, specialist on these subjects, concludes as
follows: Neuralgia is enc of the most painful OF
d,sea es and is attended with more less nervous
irritation. Scatca is also form of neuralgia, and
all painful nervous diseases come under that NAME
Neuralgia means nerve ache, and therefore you can
suffer with neuralgia in any paIt of the body as the
erves are supplied to every part.
nave for many years closely studied the cause OF
neuraipia and the nature of the nervous system,
with the many diseases that it is subject to, and
have found by actual experience that the true and
primary cause of neuralgia is poverty OF the nerv
Gus fud-it becomes impoverished and poor, and
in some cases starved not because the patient does
NOT eat. but because what is eaten Is not appropr-
ated to the nervous system; there are many causes
for this. but DR. C W Benson's Celery and Ghamo-
mile pills have in my hands proved perfect remedy
for this condition and these diseases.

The Cities.
Contemporary Review.l

tSOhbSApOa 4ASto"-I p
New York is the most cosmopolitan, Phila-
delphia the most provincial, Of our cities; Bos-
ton The most cultivated, Washington the most
American. Society in New York is based upon
wealth, in Philadelphia upon family, in Boston
upon intellect. in Washington upon official po-
ston. There is most extravaganza in New
York, most comfort in Philadelphia, most phil
anihropy in Boston, most etiquette in Wash
ington. New York is the great commercial
centre of merica; Washington has no com
merce, Philadelphia is city of manufactures.
Boston is the business centre for the manufac-
tories of New England. New York is Demo-
cratic, Philadelphia Republican, Boston doubt
full and Washington disfranchised by the ma
tional Constitution. The Germans avoid Bos-
ton, the Irish Philadelphia--boths congregate in
New York. The negroes prefer Washingt on.
BnstoA is the place to study Unitarianism,
New York Catholicism, Philadelphia Quaker
ism Such general statements as these might
b. extended indefinitely, but while they are
strictly true they are liable to mislead. Any
man may find congenial society in any great
city, and the impression which he carries away
depends very much upon his own taste in the
selection of associates. General views are al
WAYS more or less partial and imperfect There
are men of high culture in New York, perhaps
more than there are in Boston; there are rich
ignoramuses in Boston, still it is true in gener-
al that culture reigns over society in Boston
and money in New.York There are old Dutch
families in New York and old Puritan families
in Boston; but nothing to compare with the
exclusive Quaker aristocracy of Philadelphia.
There are those even within this charmed circle
in Philadelphia who have heard of places not
reached by the Pennsylvania Railway; but
theS feel no personal interest in than. R9sta's.
nisosSlere ia America is Professionalism more vg-
oso,,s and active. Philadelphia is the Quaker
CITY; but the Qaakers are small minority
tanaasata- which have
made are valuable only asindicating in a rough
way that each of these cities has character
OF its own which distinguishes it from any 9TH
er. The same thing may be said of the great
cities of the South and West. There is but one
New Orleans, bnt one Chicago, but one San
Francisco in America, although these last have
their would-be rivals. i have selected the
principal Atlantic cities, because, in re-visiting
America, these are the ones where my time
has been spent, and have nothing to offer in
this article but the personal impressions Of a
nonresident American.
