REV. COLLYER's CAREER. Rev
Robert Collyer told congregation at
Springfield, Mass, how he made his way
from the anvil to the pulpit. Fifty years
ago he was child in Yorkshire, England,
with uulettered but industrious parents,
who put him at the trade of blacksmith
lag. He worked eight years with an EN-
ployer, who died of drink, and he thinks
it was only love of reading which saved
him from the same fate. His first preach
ing was as a Methodist exhorter, and for
the first ten years of his ministration his
income from that source averaged 70 cents
a year, his living being earned as black
smith. He came to America with his
bride in 1850, and during the panic OF
1857 he carried hod for awhile. Twen-
tv wears ago he became a saIaried preach
er, going over from the methodists to the
Unitarians, and since been very success
full.
"The Hindoo widow" chants the Bos
ton Transcript, "is the only one that
cremates The others remate.' A lady
afflicted with a genuine well-defned, and
nauseating case of catarrh, whether she
is single or married, probably longs for
cremation (of the disease, ifnot OF her per-
son) The slckening. revolving breath;
foul discharges; racking pains, and other
characteristics Of catarrh, render life
burden. Elv's Cream Balm is reliable,
fragrant, yet certain cure for all such
cases. This Balm is not liquid or snuff,
and is easily applied. "My head and
throat ached so severely, from Catarrh,"
said Major Downs Military Instructor, Mt.
Pleasant Academy, Sing Sing, N. Y,
"that was obliged to give up everything
and keep quiet. Ely's Cream Balm cured
me-" This exquisite preparation will
cure any case of Catarrh.

1t used to be said that no one could be
a Bishop Of the English Church unless
he had, some time during his life, edited
Greek play. Now, the road to Episco
pal benches generally and Lambeth
Palace in particular, may be said to lie
through head masterships Of public
schools. Archbishop Longley was taken
from Harrow; Archbishop TAFT from Rug
by; and Archbishop-elect Benson is from
Wellington College. It,isIremarkable that
Eton headmasters are not chosen for high
Episcops! places at all. They usually pass
from the head mastership to the Professor
ship Of Eton and stop there. The present
headmafer, DIR. Hornby, is nearly allied
to Lord Derby, who may possibly give
him helping hand eventually. Heads
of the college at Oxford and Cambridge,
have very rarely of late received miters
though the present Archbishop of York
was fora brief time Provost of Queens.

HERR DIETRICH on HADLET.-Herr

he contends that Hamlet can he under

st ,bIe of Provdence"; the m aning Of
me word "hamlet" being, Herr Dietrich
says, "upper-constable'. In this treatise
Herr Dietrich deyctes II uoh attention to
Ophelia, of whom he has q very poor
opinion. Critics have hith'r United
that Ophe ia lad amialle a. alitie, what
ever theories they may Lave fHmed as to
her relation to Hamlet: hut her conduct

Dietrich, who denounoes her as IAN emp

ticuIarly indignant at the manner in
which she receives Haml is 'equivocal
observations" She stFi Cts ignornnce of
his meaning, we are told, in order to in
duce Hamlet to give still more decided
expression to his 'equivOcal' humor.
This terrible critic will not even grant
that Ophelia is the daughter of Polonius;

RosroN,s FIRsr CoLoRED LAWYER

BOSTON's FIRST COLORED LAWYER
The late Robert Morris, it is said, died
worth a property Of 100000, He was
one of the oldest of Boston's lawyers.
and the impression is that few have made
more money in the profession. Mr Nor
ris was a hard worker, and he had Il
sharp eve for obtaining pay for what he
did. There was something singular
about his clientage. He came to the bar
when prejudice against the coIored race
was very strong in Boston. and by none
was it more evinced than by our fellow
citizens of Irish birth, Yet Mr.. MOrris's
clients were for long time almost entire
ly among the Irish people. He succeed
ed in impressing them Vividly with a
sense of his smartness, and they ha"
great faith in the C pacity Of this
lively little colored gentleman. On the
other hand, the colnred people themselves
were rather shy of the lawyer Of theiI
Own race. He never counted many eli
ents among them. He was probably the
first colored lawyer in the country, and
no other one has had anything like his
heightened career Of service at the bar.

Charles Dickens had a very good story
about the early days of renowned estab-

some mourning and was ushered into a
room where sat a shopman with an at
tendant in woe-stricken habiliments, Who
groaneC out, "a father, mother, per-
haps wife?" ooh, no." said Dickens,

take; this is the chamber of agonizing
woe. John, toll the bell, and show the

Flow OF POpULATI0N SOUTH.-The
B lfimore Journal of Commerce calls at
tention 20 the fact that the sale of Gov
prnment lands in the Southern States is
assuming large proportions. Of the g.,
$50. 219 acres sold in 1879 there were
581, 174, or 56 per cent Of the whole To-
"a ed in Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi,
Alabama and Florida, the only Southern
States in which the Government still
owns lands In 1880 the total sales
amounted to 9,166, 918 acres, 916,Sl5
acres or 10.9 per cent. being in the South.
The total sales in 1881 reache l0,758,-
1O7 acres of which 1,5l7,l36, 14.1 per
cent were in the States named. In the
wear ended June 80, 1882. the total sales
we're Is, ,699,8 acres and the sales in
Southern States had increased to $780,
ga acres. or Is per cent. Of the whole.
Tn three years the sales in the South have,
increased nearly five fold Parts Of
these purchases are doubtless speculative,
but another and large part are due to
the large flow Southwark of people imi-
gr,,ting from the North in recent years.

Opium Dens in London.
Ipall Mall oa.stse.1


An alarmist cry has been raised by q
missionary lately returned from China
as to the spread of opium smoking in
London. The Rev. George Percy, whose
pamphlet, 'The Chinese in London, "
has recently been published at 60 Pater-
noster Row, asserts that opium smoking
Is on the increase in London, and
that unless vigorous measures are
taken forthwith we shall be face to
face with q vice compared with which
even intemperance is comparatively in
noeent Six opium dens, he says, are
known to have been IN existence in the
east of London In 1881, and their num-
Der has probably increased. As yet, al
though he believes the number OF secret
'.lay -outs' for opium smoking is increas.
ing, it is not in this country but in
America, where the growth Of opium
smoking can be most clearly traced in
all it's baneful consequences. There are
twenty opium dens in New York, and no
fewer that twenty thousand white men
and women who are regular or oc-
casional opium smokers ia the
United States. In San Francisco the
vice early htSVfNtu hucu etffuuS uiuitD-
sions as to lead to special legislation
against II. The opium smokers NOT of
Chinese extraction in that city are said
to number 200. In New York they are
900 strong. "All towns Of any note in
the United States, and more especially
iu the West, have their smoking dens
and their Labitues" Regular opium
resorts have been established ut Mar
burgh, and at Philadelphia, the opium
parfor kept by Mrs. Chisin, a pale,
refined looking woman aboat thirty
five years Of age, is said to
be frequented by some Of the wealthiest
ladies In the City Of Brotherly Love.
Much more laudanum is taken inEngland
than most people imagine, and it is quite
possible that the habit Of opium smoking
may yet establish itself in this country.
As yet, fortunately, the opium business
is not vested interest with which it is
dangerous to meddle, but who knows
what may not come to pass in the next
dozen years!

The Earthquake.
fsanta Barbara Press. Sept. sth.f

This morning at fifteen minutes past
four a slight shock Of earthquake was
felt by those wakeful enough to notice it.
Five seconds latter il was succeeded by
q heavier one which las ed over quar-
ter OF q minute. The waves or oscilla-
tons were regular and more like a
smooth rocking than the spasmodic
jolts sometimes felt they seemed to
pass north and south Many clocks
were stopped and crockery was ratified
little. but no damage is reported. In
view Of the recent earthquake horror in
Java, these little hints Of what Nature
could do if so minded, are not pleasant.
There is, however, no reason TO appre-
hend serious danger anywhere along
the Santa Barbara Channel, either from
tidal waves or heavy earthquake shocks.
The chain of mountainous islands act as
an effectual barrier TO the former, while
the latter have no precedent here. The
heaviest one ever known failed to de-
'stroy single builfing.
Some comical incidents are reported
this morning. A few were under the
impression a tisiai wave Was upon us and
were preparing to start for the hills
without waiting for toilet ceremonies.
Sea gulls came screaming over the city
and were thought by some to be warn
ing OF further trouble. To-day the gen.
