HENRY WARD BEEcHER is growing old most men do at sixty-eight. A week ago he complained to his congregation that those who wrote to him used very pale ink, and Sunday he read amiss the number of the hymn he was giving out, and had to stop the people short after they had sung one verse of an entirely different composition. However, he preached one of his old-timed difluse but eloquent, lorcible and glowing ser mons.

Canonchet Sold.

Recently the famous homestead of
Governor William Sprague, Canonchet,
was sold under the hammer. There was
a large crowd in waiting, but all were
denied admission. On Monday an at
tachment for S40,0 was levied on the
estate by United States Marshal in
favor of Philadelphia people. Trustee
Chaffee and Lawyer Patton were there
ready for the sale At twelve o'clock the
largest crowd ever attending an auction
sale of the Sprague property assembled
in the roadway in front of the main en-
trance .of Canonchet. Before the sale
was begun, Mr.. Richard Comstock, of
Providence, gave notice to the auctioneer
and all intending to bid that on Mon
day the-tirm of Mowry & Constock had
attached the Canonchet property in the
name of Evan Randolph, of Philadelphia,
for $40, 900 on a process issued out of
the United States Court. Mr.. G. Frank
Parkhurst in reply to this said that this
attachment grew out of suit of
Hoyt, Sprague & Co. The title
to this property was originally in
the Spragues and the latter were not
liable in this matter. Auctioneer Hall
invited the crowd to get over the gate
and come across the bridge, where it
was shady. They followed him to the
other side of the bridge by walking
across the stringers, and were about to
pass on to the grounds when Willie
Sprague suddenly appeared in the road
mounted on a horse. He cried ''Haltr'
and the order not being obeyed at once,
he put his right hand into his pocket and
took hold of a pistol, and then there was
halt. No one offered to advance step.
The bidding was begun by Henry Hid
den, of Providence, for $50, 900, and
George w. Butts made it $21 900. Oil
yer w. Green, of Wexford, bid $780, 200.
Then Sheriff Tucker gave notice that the
local auctioneer, under whose direction
the sale was begun, was not legally ap-
pointed, and that he should hold every
one responsible for what was done. Mr.
Hall explained the facts of Mr.. Chand-
ler's appointment and engagement be-
fore the town council, and then the sale
again progressed. The issue was now
between James ID. Lynch, of New York,
who bid in the interest of Francis ID.
Moulton, the '.mutual friend" of Beech
er and Tilton. Moulton finally secured
the property at S62, $50.
While the sale was in progress Gov
ernor Sprague occupied the front piazzi
of the house with rifle in his hand,
awaiting the advance of the enemy. The
sale was terrible sacrifice, $500, 600
having been laid out on the property,
while there were four hundred acres Of
land thrown in. 1t was bought for spec
ulation and will be sold in lots.-Provi-
dence (R. ~ Special to Chicago Times.

Mr.. HoRR has been all his life taking
lessons IN the school of actual business.
He is trained TO go through a matter in
detail. He is thorough and complete
business man from practice. In latter
years it has been found that these are
the kind of men needed to discharge
the work of Congress. Professional
speech makers are ornamental, not USE
full. II Senator Horr is elected he will
go to his place in the House able and
willing to give to the public service that
patient aud close attention that has
made him one of the most successful
business men of Ohio. Days and weeks
viii not be consumed by him in speech
making. The time spent there for what
he receives pay will be devoted to the
public good, and not to the building up
of personal reputation.-Mansfield

A few days since, a judge with an ex-
perience of ever thirty years on the
bench, made the declaration that the in
spiration now moving the hearts of the
people in their crusade against rum,
would never subside until prohibition
was written into every State Constitu-
ton. This was the deliberate judgment
of one whose judicial experience has
enlightened him as to the prime cause
of every form of crime. Judge Strong,
late OF the Supreme bench, once said in
a public meeting in this city, s'I dare
not say anything against the prayers
and songs of the christian women of
Ohio, because it may be the beginning
of Gods way to suppress the liquor
traffic." So year by year the little Cos
pei seed of prayer first sown in great
weakness in the Buckeye State, has
spread till now in every State and ter
ritory the temperance hosts are mar
shalling and the hearts Of women are
lifted TO God and the better morning
light is streaming far up the political
horizon. Shortsighted politicians lift
their hands in holy horror, as did their
brethren aforetime when slavery was
in danger OF getting mixed with poll
tics. Then, as now, they cried as did
others like minded eli .hteen hundred
years ago, "Great is Diana of the Ephe-
sians." 1t little matters. "It is hard
to kick against the pricks," the hand
writing is seen on the wall. The liquor
traffic is doomed in this land of freedom

A Historical Coincidence.

1t is a very striking illustration of the
traditional forms of Eastern warfare that
the lying bulletin in which Arab Pasha
announced to his followers the destruc-
ton or capture of the whole English fleet
in the recent action before Alexandria,
is an almost literal copy of that with
which Mana Sahib, in July, 1857, en-
deavoured to sustain the failing courage
of his Sepoys when the news of Have
locks advance upon Cawnpore to ayenge
the massacre began to spread among
them. 1.-The Queen of the English"

gathered mighty host to fight against
us, and put her soldiers upon many ships,
and sent them as far as Egypt. But the
Padishah (Sultan) heard of their coming,
and he sent and bade the Pasha of
Egypt destroy them all Then the Pasha
of Egypt gathered his ships-of-war and
poured the thunder of his cannon upon
the fleet of the unbelievers until all their
vessels were taken or destroyed and the
yellow-faced English were sunk to the
bottom Of the sea. "-Lendon Standard

q
orado the growth is now very large ana
In California 1t Is now about as large as
1t will be. The clip OF 1881 in CALI
fornia was torty-three millions OF
pounds, largely composed of earthys
trashy wool, valued at place OF growth
at an average of say seventeen cents per
pound, or say $3.50, 600 The next
State in number of pounds is Ohios
with twenty nine millions, average to
grower at home thirty-fiye cents, or say
SIC, 15o, 600. So we see that Ohio Is
the champion State OF growth in dol
lars and cents, though not In
pounds; California, growing more In
pounds, but not In worth. Texas comes
next; butt the growth OF Texas wool
varies very much, as does California
The tendency there Is always downward
and constant breeding IN of fine merino
bucks is necessary to keep up any kind
OF fineness: A very large portion OF the
Texas wool IS coarse or coarse mixed,
very earthy, often burry. ana al[ogerner
trashy. A small part, however, Is enolce
and fetches good price. The coarse
goes into carpets or felt goods; the liner
goes into fiannels, hosiery and feits, and
some into cassimeres. New York,
Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin
rank with Ohio wool; but not quite as
fine and somewhat greasier. securing
out less pounds. Michigan grows very
good wool, m all about eleven million
pounds. The great increase, however,
is likely to take place west OF the Mis-
sissippi River. Colorado, Montana and
Utah are treading fast on Texas.
There are in the Territories vast
ranges OF wild land, which are more or
less open to all for grazing purposes,
and there we may look for the greatest
increase in growth. The freedom Of
out-of-door life we should think would
tempt many who, bored with life in
cramped cities and towns, desire more
room. How much better for many
would such life be; men who are des-
tined to die early, unless a change In
their manner of living takes place.
Those vast undeveloped regions are
open to all; life that has its hardships,
but also its freedom from care to great
extent. Thousands of men would be-
come hearty and healthy if they went to
the West, who are doomed If they re-
main where they are; and, after all,
health is the greatest boon in life.
The qualities of wool most in demand
now, are the finest qualities, viz, fine
fleece, and out of fine fleece the longest
in staple, which is what is called fine
delaine, which wool goes into worsted-
yarn, for the production of worsted
coatings, Italian cloths, etc.; next, is
fine and medium combing, from a. half
to a three-eighths blood, and medium
fleece also of the same grade. Tho abil-
ity of the masses to buy better goods
