Calling Dying out in New York.

NEW YORK, Jan. New Years Day was
observed in New York and Brooklyn in the
usual manner by general suspension of
business and the closing of all public offices
excepting tho police courts, which, during
the morning hours, did more than the ordi-
nary amount of work. In New York the
custom of making New Years calls appears
to be gradually dying out, and to-day many
of the uptown avenues We're comparatively
deserted, although it was announced that an
unusually largo number of ladies were receiv-
ing. In Brooklyn, the time-honored custom
was more generally observed The unfavor-
able condition of the weather no doubt pre-
vented many from calling. Several charita-
able institutions gave receptions.

GEN. FITz LEE ADDRESSED A LARGE CROW

The Club house was thronged Thursday
night. Mr.. Chas. E. Kemper presided and IN
few brief and graceful words introduced Gen.
eral Lee to a crowded house, all anxious to
hear one so prominent on the public arena
Referring to the Presidential canvass, and
sketching the candidates as they appear on
the field. Gen. Butler was described as one
richly decorated in patent leather pumps, SILK
stockings and diamond breast pin, as he held
forth his special claims for recognition as the
advocate of the poor and workingmen' g rights
AS bad as it is, Blaine's record and the figure
he cuts in connection with the smasher OF If
ty-five languages for Vice-President was as
truthful as 1t was amusing.
The review Gen. Lee made of the tendencies
of corrupt and centralizing parties holding the
government, led him on into an investigation
of the constitution and the deplorable results
which might come about under its forms with
such men as Blaine and Logan at the head o.
the government, and sustained by following
as perverse as the Republican party is.
In the matters of production, manufacture
ing, and all the material interests of the coun-
try. as bearing upon legislation and the direc-
ton our governmental policy should take, he
placed himself forward as a close student OF
political economy and large views in the dis
cuss1on of the questions OF the day. The tnJus-
tice done the South by the designed and pre-
meditated purpose in accomplishing such
ends through all the machinery of the govern.
ment, turning its agents and officials into 8
horde ofspies and informers, was picture in
his sketch which his hearers will long remem.
Der.
The speech was full in every feature, deliv.
cred in elegant manner. and all who heard il
were not only delighted, but were completely
drawn towards the distinguished gentleman
who has done much and will yet accomplirl
more for his State, and who is worthy of
name indissolubly and illustriously associa
ted with the most memorable deeds recorded
on the pages of history.

.ruE SIGNS OF THE TIMES"
A SERMON BY REV. RUMsEY sMIrHsoN-THH
TEMPERANCE MOVEMENT.

Last Sabbath night, Rev. Rumsey Smithson
at the Methodist church, discoursed on the lem
perance question, reading from the 18th
CHAPTER of Matthew, and selecting for his text
the last clause of the 3rd verse. But can ye not
discern The signs Of the times"
In his introduction he briefly sketched the
relations the Pharisees aud the Sadducees and
also the HerodiaDs held TO the government of
the country IS well as their religious doctrine,
and passed over some OF the points arising in
their interviews with the Savior, giving his
replies to them.
The forg ard movements during the last hun
dred years-the extension of the missionary
work and ether enterprises of the church in
spreading the gospel and amelioratipg tie con-
dition OF mankind were striking illustrations
of the progress for good, and leading on in the
direction of future which had more in coming
development to strengthen the cause 'offen-
sive and defensive" against great curse"
which was sweeping now over the land liza
stronger word could be found, or one more ap-
propriate 10 define the evil, he would employ
it. but he knew of no other by which he could
properly describe the horrors Of intemperance
than that. for a course" it was.
Passing on he came to refer directly to the
action of the Directory of the Baldwin Augusta
on their grounds during the recent exhibition.
He stated that when that privilege was given
on former occasions, drunkenness and gam
bling existed and some persons were prey to
the Expectations of pickpockets. He contend
ed that hese evils would not and did not show
themselves when Intoxicating drinks were ex-
cluded from the place. The attendance was
largs and the people of the whole community
who desired to encourage and recognize the in
stitution did so, secure and safe from the an
noyances following the sale of liquor. And had
it not been for that restriction, the attendance
would have been small and the receipts of the
tair much less than they were, which he sim
cerely hoped were full and sufficient for the
purposes of the institution.
He referred to the statutes forbidding the sale
of liquor at stated times which settled the au-
thority of law and Jurisdiction in perpetual
prohibition, which was the only real remedy.
Local option was good as far as t could go, but
the ''signs of the tines pointed clearly to the
held on which the great battle was to be fought,
and, as for himself. he would everywhere and
at all times strike for prohibition. because it
was the cause of humanity, of the church. and
of God.

died of tetanus, resulting from compound
fracture of the bones between the knee and
ankle, on the 18th of September, was too noble
a youth to pass into earthly oblivion without
some notice. He lived upon the old Young
Farm at Arbor Hill, inherited from his grand
father, and was personally known to me for a
period of twelve years from boy offive or six
to manhood and in all those years during a
close intamacy between our families and the
many occasions in which a boy figures under
such circumstances, l never knew a mis-
demeanor, however. trevial. He came, tarried,
went just as directed by dear, thoughtful,
cautious mother, and that amongst heavens
greatest gifts to child. grandmother. Often
when witnessing his conscientious discharge
ofduty, we predicted Holy orders for him, not
thinking these orders would be so soon ad-
ministered in heaven upon subject SO early
ripe. He was a member of the church. and he,
though SO young, presided over an altar of
audible prayer of his own establishing In his
widowed mothers homo. When the doctor au-
nounced the inevitable result of tetanus, he
held his pulse, but strange to say no quicken
ed pulse told alarm; he simply said "he was go
ing home to Jesus" In the depths of our hearts
we sympathize with the inmates of his lonely
home. H. B. B.
