Failure OF Comm odo Garrison,

Commodore Cornelius H. Garrison on Fri
day last filed an assignment in tho county
clerks Office at New York to John T. Terry, Of
e. D.. Morgan 4 Co.: preferences, $tsil 800

cipal owner Of Missouri Pacific but sold out Il
few years ago to Jay Gould He has been in
terestcd lately in humorous railway schemes.
He was formerly resident of st. Louis, and
made the bulk Of his fortune prior to the re-
bellion.
The amount involved by tho failure is sup
posed to be $5,0IO,GO. The preferences
amount to $G3l ,NN. Assignee Terry said it
was impossible yet to state the figures. The
effect on Wall street was to still more unsettle
things, though to rot SO great extent as feared
Melville C. Day counsel for Garrison, says:
The assignment is made because of financial
embarrassment 1t was forced upon Garrison
by the protest Of notes under his endorsement.
He is a heavy holder of securities, and SO much
of his wealth was tied up in these, which are
almost unmarketable at present, that he could
not meet his liabilities. He has large number
of Ohio railroad securities which have shrunk
but which are not now on the market, the
value of which cannnt be estimated. The
assignment is simply for the benefit of cred

who are striving to take them bv fraud
are unable to conceal their rascally
work from the public as the work of
their more fortunate predecessors was

not only escaped punishment, but have
not even been annoyed by legal proceed

The lack of guideboards on coun

The lack of guideboards on country
roads is great source of annoyance to
everybody not familiar with their
routes of travel. It is a simple thing
to make turn at corner when we
know which road to take, but not so
simple to so many miles Or moro and
lind we are on the wrong road. All
roads are liable to be Travelled bv stran-
gers, and every place where two roads
meet should be furnished with guide
board. Strangers travelling on the
prairies of the Northwest. even in Sec
tons long settled, especially where there
are no fences, suffer a good deal from
the lack Of guides. Every town and
county should remedy this grievance,
and by doing so will benefit themselves
as we'll as the public. Guileboards are
necessary in summer, and in winter when
landmarks are obscured, are imper-
atiyely required. Let everybody help
to guide the traveller on his way"

cheering and waving of handkerchiefs. The
applause continued several minutes after the

tied in prayer aftor which Mr. Spurgcon ad-
dressed the meeting. He spoke at some length
and with great feeling, almost moving the audi
ence to tears. He thanked his hearers in the
warmest terms for their cordial reception. He
said:
Our American friends are generally very cute
Judges. l have often their opinions of ME.
The have repeatedly asserted ''spurseon is no
orator. We have scores Of bet ter preachers in
America, but it is evident that Spurgeon
breaches the gospel, and very celebrated men
do not"
Spurgeon continued in his chara cteristic style
to urge preachers to preach more simply and
plainly the pure gospel of the grace of God.
The dry, dead gospel of some preachers never
evoked sympathy in mems hearts

A Dangerous American Tendency.
From the Boston Transcript

A Darwinian Cambridge professor
sends us the following: There is one
practice of the Yankees which threatens
to develop most undesirable charac-
teristic. It is the habit Of yawning.
Apparently it is rather more affected by
people of the cities, especially by fe-
males and the more talkative of males
Unfortunately it is not at all confined to
them. Naturally enough, motionless
jaws become tiresome so persons who
ordinarily keep them moving. It is
amusing to watch an individual excr-
else his hyoid apparatus like IN aspyx-
iating fish, while the person opposite i'll
voluntarily-so sympathetic we are
gapes like boa constructor, and it is
initiated by another and another down
the car or through the audience. But
there is serious aspect to the case. By
the laws of use and hercdity we are ab-
normally developing the muscles which
open the mouth. If this is allowed to
go on, by and by great development Of
the mouth openers will become charac-
teristic of the American. There are al
ready too many people in this country
at present who have great difficulty in
keeping their mouths shut"
