ELOQUENT SERMON BY REV. DIR. BRoDHEl
nr ~

ELOQUENT SERMON BY REV. DIR. BRoDHEAD,
OF BRIDGEfoN, N. l..
The pulpit of the New York Avenue Pres
byterian church was occupied by the Rev.
Augustus Brodhead, D. D., of Bridgeton, N.
j. The attendonce was large, and tho con-
gregation listened intently to the eloquent
sermon. Mr.. Brodhead took for his text
Psalms xxi, s. 81 will guide thee with Mine
eye"
On entering upon the subjec in forcible, ex-
pressive words, the speaker pointed out that,
while it is easy to recognize our idea of
Jehova in God who superintends, guides
and controls the universe, and has within his
keeping life and death with all their issues,
there lies difficulty in thinking of Him as
having personal superintendent over, and
care for every individual. The fact that such
difficulty exists discovers possibility of un-
belief, where, perhaps, it was least thought
Of For II we think of God only rs being
connected with aud concerned for the universe
as q whole, which he governs by interchangeable
laws, the result of which is uniformity
which has existed for years, and may continue
to exist for ages TO come, then it is but a step
and we land in the belief that God himself is
only another name of law, and then we un-
consciously substitute laws for God,
Any right conception of God, the only just
idea of him, must conceive him as controlling
ourselves necessarily as part Of his creation.
1t l. the only idea of Him which can bring
comfort and encouragement to us. II the
questions, "What am l 2" "Where am I?'
"Whither am l going2" be answered by the
study of ourselves, the conviction of such
control must establish itself. Man has q will
capable of holding its own purpose and choice
against the world, yet so weak as to bt
drawn aside from right by the most unworthy
alluremonts, daunted by tho most despicablt
difficulties, palsied with ignoble sloth. IL
has an intellect powerful enough to measur,
the distance and motions of the stars TO tracl
the invisible sound waves and light waves il
their courses, and win from nature the Ike,
of empire; yet weak enough to be befooled b,
transparent fallacies, and led astray at ever,
stop by prejudice and passion. He has Low
which is able to lift him TO the sublime heigh
of self sacrifice, and is the inexhaustibl
fOunt of the deepest and purest happiness h
knows or can knoW,yet it wastes itself anon

A Case OF Hydrocephaius.

An interesting case of infantile water on
the brain or hydrocephalus developed in East
Washington last week. The little IL months
old son of Mr.. j. w. Curtis died Saturday
evening from the effects of the disease. Be-
fore death his head was tapped three times,
and four ounces of water taken from it each
time by DIR. Bliss, the attending physician,
who pronounced the head to be an unusually
large one. The little sufferer, just before
death, endured terrible spasm ofnearly three
hours duration, during which the head began
to enlarge and separate, making it necessary
to put rubber bands about the skull to keer
it from parting. The case has excited much
interest among the medical profession.

SUICIDE IN THE TREASURY.
John Connolly, Watchman, Shoots
Himself Dead While on Duty.

John Connolly, employed as a watchman in
the Treasury department, committed suicide
while on duty Satur day night. His body was
found lying in n coal vault of the treasury.
He had pinned on his breast before killing
himself sheet of paper, upon which was
written vile epithets against his wife and an
appeal to Col. Webster, chief clerk of the
treasury to look out for his children. Some of
the writing on the paper was undecipherable,
but the sentiment was the same throughout
Lying under his prostrate body was large
Colts revolver, such rs is used by the watch
men. 1t was with this that he had destroyed
himself and a largo hole near the lobe of the
left ear showed where the ball had entered.
The other watchmen on duty reported that
they did not hear any noise, and the first dis
covery of the deed was by watchman who
went to relieve Connolly at midnight.
The body was removed to his residence No.
III . Il street northwest where the funeral
will take place at A o'clock to-day. The
services will be conducted by tho odd Eel
lows, of which he was member. The cause
of Connolly's deed is not known, although it
10 thought that some domestic trouble, to.
gether with excessive drinking, which de-
pressed his spirits, prompted the act He
