Mr.. Moody's Hate,

Mr.. Moody, the evangelist, is announced to
begin series of meetings in Richmond, Va,
on January 4, and his coming has brought
forth letter from Mr.. B. d. Core, which was
published in the Richmond papers on Mon
day. Mr. Core refers to a sermon delivered
by Mr.. Moody in Madison Square Garden,
New York, in April, 1876, and says:
"Mr. Moody on that occasion illustrated
the character of Jesus Christ and the devil.
He said: The rebel leaders, Lee and Stone
wall jackson, and the fearless patriot, Grant,
are names which are familiar to you all. He
then proceeded to divest Lee and Jackson of
every honorable characteristic. In their re.
ligious characters they were worse than the
followers of Mahomet. In their moral lives
the life of Nero, in comparison, was as white
as the driven snow. IN word said Mr..
Moody, they more forcibly represented the
character of the king of darkness than any
names which my knowledge of the worlds
history enables me to call to mind since Judas
betrayed the Lord of glory He then pro-
ceeded to clothe Gen. Grant in all the grand
eur of god, so far as the extent of words
could do it, robbing Heaven of its glory and
God of His attributes with which to adorn his
hero Grant, his ideal representative of Christ.
''To this at this time, only have to say
that there lives not Virginian with any pre-
tensions 10 responsibility VINO is HcL prouu 10
claim common citizenship with the immor-
tai Lee and Jackson. am proud that Yir-
ginia had such Christian heroes to offer their
services to their country. They were our
leaders, our representatives. We loved them
in their lives, and their memory is dear to us
still, and will ever be. We were particeps
criminis with them, and Moody's abuse of
them was equally an abuse of each one of us
who followed these peerless patriots"
Two young men. named Angel and Good
win, were handling what they supposed to be
an unloaded pistol, on farm near Waxahat-
chic, Texas, on Sunday. Goodwin snapped
the pistol at Angel and the weapon was dis
charged, sending bullet through the latter's
head and causing mortal wound. In his
fright, Goodwin ran home and swallowed,
with suicidal intent, dose of morphine. He
is not expected to recover.
When Mark Twain appeared before his
Buffalo audience the other evening he scanned
them carefully. He then said that he missed
many faces that he knew we'll fourteen of fif.
teen years ago. "They have gone," be added
sadly, "gone to the tomb, to the gallows or to
the White House. All of us must go to one
or the other of these destinations, and it be-
hopyes rs TO be wise and prepare for all. "

There is lull in Maryland politics.
The state election next year will be unim-
,portant, as only Comptroller and
Clerk of the Court of Appeals are to be
elected. 1t is true half of the Senate is
to be elected and the House Of Delegates,
but as the general sentiment is in favor of
the reelection of Senator German, not
much interest will attach, further than the
securing of good working majorities in each
house. After the Inauguration of Presi-
dent Cleveland, perhaps before, there will
be some consideration of federal positions.
1t is likely that some of the good places
will not be obtainable until about year
hence.

The composition of Cleveland's Cabinet
is still matter of much speculation among
politicians and newspapers. The latter
have interviewed nearly all the prominent
Democrats of the country, the most of
whom have named those they regarded as
the most suitable Mr. Cleveland has
given no intimation of his intentions on the
subject, and very probably has not yet
settled upon his advisers. 1t is not likely
that he will have his Cabinet made up until
he takes his seat. In the meantime the
country can rest assured he will select an

The New York Legislature is to meet in
january, and one of its duties is the cleo
ton of United States Senator to succeed
Senator Lapham. United States Minister
Morton is now most spoken of, probably
because he has the largest purse and knows
how to use it. VIM. NJ. Evarts is also a
candidate, and there are quite a number
more of less prominence. There is dis
position among many Democrats to join in
an effort to elect Roscoe Conkling. Ten
or twelve Republicans, united with the
Democrats, can elect, and Mr.. Conkling's
temperance in the Senate is one of the
probabilities.

Mr. Blaine, it is said, is keeping open
house in Washington, and his house is
thronged with visitors. He imagines he is
still the leader of the Republican party,
and is maturing plans for the future. He
has spies and informers circulating among
the prominent Republican members of
Congress, and it would seem that he is pre-
pairing for revenge upon those who opposed
or gave him only lukewarm support in the
late campaign. If Blaine, through friends.
could defeat Don Cameron in Pennsyl-
yania, and prevent Conkling's or Arthur s
election to the Senate from New York, he
would be comparatively happy.
Twenty-Five years ago Mr.. Blaine entered
suit against the editor of the Portland
(Maine) Argus for alleged libellous refer
enee to his domestic affairs, similar to those
made by the indianapolis Sentinel. After
, aood deal of buster he withdrew the suit
ON account of the trouble in getting evil
dence IF Mr.. Blaine could not secure
sufficient evidence to clear bis record

would he have been in his suit with the

the latter, and makes reference to Blaine's

one case. and trouble in regard to jury in

Co-opraetIve Baking.


 Inhabitants of London and of divers other English towns could be charged with violent precipitation if they followed the example set them in La Rochelle. This French town suffered patiently for long time the tyranny of the local bakers, who, although buying their flour in 8 cheap market, continued shamelessly to put high price upon their
 loaves But in 1866 a society was formed to defeat the monopoly of the bread-sellers, and it has not only survived to this day, but also grown and fourished exceedingly. About 1000 families are now said to deal with the association, which is founded, of course, on cooperative principles. The mem bers of the company, for it has been duly in corporated, are only admitted after strict inquiry as to their responsibility, and are at once expelled if they are found to be selling bread to outsiders. The result of the com petition it and the regular bakers is gratifying to the shareholders and interest ing to the rest of the world. During the early part of last year it charged 32 centimes (6 cents) for the kilo of bread, which the bakers sold at 3S centimes; and at later period of the year the difference was even rather more marked. In fine, the small fraction of population belonging to this small town saved Is, 900 francs over it's con- sumption of bread The reason why more members do not join is to be found partly in the fact that the association purposely re- mains select, but also in the objection which many people have to be restricted to few sizes only in the loaves they buy. The com pany bakes nothing but loaves weighing five or ten pounds each; and it is not everyone who cares to adapt the requirements of his household to these infexible rules.

A NAVAL QUESTION.


 Perhaps this country will sometime have g navy. It it ever does it will want a good one, and therefore discussion which is now going on in England, where there is first class navy, is interesting to people in this part of the world
 A large increase is soon to be made to the strength of England's navy, and contention has arisen as to the form this increase shall take. On this question there is divergence of opinion among the best informed experts Sir Edward Reed has obtained high reputa- tion as naval constructor, and some of the vessels designed by him have proved them selves to be among the best in the English naval service. This authority believes that the government should construct a number of first-class armored vessels, ships protected with stout armored belt and with internal defence of England will rest upon this class of ships, although he advocates in addition the construction of number of torpedo boats and relatively light armored ocean cruisers. But Sir William Armstrong, who is an authority upon guns rather than upon ironclads, and who has confidence in the former and distrust in the latter which are exactly the reverse of Sir Edward Reeds prepossessions, asserts that while it might be rash to entirely abandon armor so long as other nations continue to use it, because nothing but the experience of an actual war will remove all question as to its possible utility, still, considering the indisputable value of a numerous fleet of swift and powerfully armed vessels, built with the view of obtaining the maxi sidering that such vessels, unlike armor clads, can never grow much out of date, it would seem to be expedient that the chief expenditure of England should be upon ships of the latter d description. He goes on to as- sert that the strongest armor ever yet made has been and can be pierced by existing guns, and that all the earlier English ironclads could be knocked to pieces by guns of such moderate weight as would be carried in over whelming numbers if war ships were to be loaded with guns instead of armor. He thinks, therefore, that the main expenditures should be in the direction of creating num- erous fleet of swift, heavily armed ships, pro tected to the utmost extent attainable without armor.
 It appears to us that Sir William Arm strong has the best of the argument. Heavi- lys armored vessels would be at disadvan- tage in contest against swift ships with big guns
