mining State, its exhibits markedly show
it's wealth in these lines Here are seer
huge blocks of semi bituminous, splint

have been selected from only small Dor.

quality are said to be unsurpassed in the
world.
'sThe iron ores massed in the space OF
this State consist mainly of lemonite, red,
and brown hematites, specular ores, etc.
There is an artistic display of elegant terra
Gotta wares, an industry with promising
future for this State; but eciipsing all the
other displays of West Virginia are that of
their woods, which for variety and finene, S

BEEcHER AND Hrs Pew RENTs.-NEw
YORK, Dec. 28.-Rev. Henry Ward Beech
er, after his sermon in Plymouth Church
to-day, touched upon the disafec+ion which
is said to exist among some of his congre-
CATION, caused by his action in the late cam
paign. He alluded to his forty years. pas
torate, and said that he never mixed poll
tics with his theology in the pulpit He
said that he did not know how far the
trouble had spread, but only learned it
from the newspapers. If there were any
pew-holders offended, he did not know
them. In relation to the pew rents, he
did not care if they were dimished. He
had lived on salary OF 81 500 when he
first became pastor, and if necessary could
live upon it now. IF there was a majority
in the church, or a strong minority, who no
longer wanted him, he would go. If the
great majority wished him TO stay, he would
die with them, and nothing would drive
him away If he stayed, the congregation
would have to receive him, not on pitch
fork, but in the palms Of their hands.

General Grant in Trouble.

The complications of General Grant with
the stock-trading firm of Grant & Ward,
begin to assume q shape which greatly
troubles the Ex-President. He borrowed
$3.50, 600 from w. Fl. Vanderbilt on his own
obligation, but giving the money to the
firm of which his son was member. At
the time he did not know Of the impending
crash so soon to follow, under which the
concern went to nothing. Vanderbilt has
obtained judgment and tho Generals per-
sonal property is under levy, which en-
braces, with other articles, his swords
medals, presents received when abroad,
pictures, &c. Mr.. Corcoran, Gen. Beale,
Gen. Vanvleit, Gen. Sherman, and Others
have taken the matter in hand for the pur-
pose of afording relief to Gen. Grant
Vanderbilt has offered TO release the obi
CATION on the payment of 100000, which
sum Gen. Sherman and Cyrus W. Field
have undertaken to raise. Mr.. Corcoran
said, in referring to the sale of the effects,
'sThis thing shan't be done. No man who
has been President of the United States
should be placed in such position"
General Grant is said to be in low health,
and his anxiety growing out of his finan
eial troubles greatly distresses him. Ar
rangements have been made to sell his real
estate in Missouri and Illinois, for an
amount approximating its value.

agencies which stamp the impress of pro

Without the aid of local newspapers
local towns are, as rule, thrift
less and dead. It is common for
small great men to speak with contempt of
the local newspapers. but the village news
paper makes more great men out of less

any other factor in politics, and it is the
one ladder on which men climb to distinc-
ton as the beginning of wider fame. The
advent of the local newspaper has always
dated the increase of thrift Of the commu-
nifty. The local newspaper Is the life of
the locality, and the measure of its sup
port, as rule measures the advancement
of the people. Not only subscribe but pay
for your local newspapers. They are
friends and helpmates of all seasons.

The Alexandria Gazette says: "Nearly
seven hundred divorce suits are in progress
in the courts of Chicago, and more than
that number in Philadelphia. And yet it
is in these cities, and in New England, where
the ratio Of divorce to marriage is even
greater, that the Mormons are the most
abused. The permanence Of the marriage
tie is the sheet-anchor Of society's morals;
but it is in that section of the country
which complains SO much about the morals
OF the other sections, that the least posi-
bic permanence in given to that tie. Much
better for the State would the Mormon
practice be than this custom of tandem
m arriages to which reference is made"

STRAIGHT IN the FACE.

We are pleased to learn that our
unpalatable articles on the above
subject, and the two letters of our
correspondent "No Sophist," have
been the means of driving the un-
pleasant truth, with which they deal,
forcibly into the minds of the COM
munity.
If our statements seem to be eX-
aggerated let any one ask the retail
dealers of Honolulu what has been
their experience of business since the
commencement of the present year.
In three out of four instances he will
receive the same answer, "business
has been fearfully dull" Most of
the wholesale houses will acknowl-
edge the same. There was a slight
revival of trade at the commence
ment of the present quarter, but it
lasted only for week or ten days.
The revival can be accounted for by
the fact that there was three months
credit to be obtained the, pernicious
system of three, instead of one.
months credit being unfortunately
in vogue.
How much of the property now
mortgaged in the Kingdom would
realize the amount of its mortgages
1t would not pay the mortgages to
realize, consequently extensions are
granted and foreclosures are not
pressed. How many wholesale or
retail business men in Honolulu, or
planters in the Kingdom, are pre-
pared to face retrenchment in their
mode of living or in their working
expenses, which they know and feel
to be necessary? We have heard only
of one gentleman, business man in
this city, who has acknowledged the
gloomy aspect of affairs and who has
had the courage to face it and who
is actiug up to his opinion. 1t must
be done, and the sooner the better ii
will he for everybody, when We
recognize that our future prospects
are not couietT de rose
One assignment, at least, has been
made privately, and others can be
made without the knowledge of the
public in general. If mans bust
ness is not financially sound he will
meet with more sympathy by public
acknowledgment than by renewed,
and ultimately useless, attempts at
concealment. Rents have been too
high, which is always an unhealthy
sign, but they are gradually di-
minishing, and will continue to de-
crease till the small salaried man may
hope to obtain house without
having to pay for it nearly twenty
five per cent. of his income.
