The following letter from the Rev. A. H.
WRIGHT, Pastor of St. Lawrence Street
Church, speaks volumesi in praise Of the Health
Lift system of physical exercise which is
growing in favor the more it is becoming
known.
From long acquaintance with the Health
Lift as a system of cumulative exercise, from
the beneficial results of its use in my own case,
and from actual knowledge of the benefit 9TH
ers have received who have used it systemati
cally and perseveringly, 1 am prepared to add
my testimony to lis great value as a simple,
safe and agreeable means of physical exercise,
for either man or woman. 1t will stimulate
the blood, induce healthy circulation, develop
muscular power and tone and strengthen the
whole system. Much more might be said in
its praise, but will simply add that if persons
Of sedentary habits, like myself, who require
more exercise than they usually get, or fnd
time to take, will commence the use of the
Health Lift, and continue its use with perse-
veraDce and regularity under Mr.. Gaubert's
directions and cautions, / am satisfied they
will find the same cause have, to prize and
praise its excellence

EDUCATION In LIBERIA.
Prof. s.ewar. a, oAs..nu, street Church.

A large audience of worshipers of Chestnut,
Pine and Congress street churches met yester-
day at Chestnut street to listen to Prof T. M.
Stewart of Africa, on the educational and
missionary prospects of the Liberian Republic
The presiding elder, Rev. G. J.. Clark, Rev. E.
7. Adams, and Mr.. Bashiord assisted in the
services. Prof. Stewart gave very interest
ing account of the position of the African
race in the earliest civilization and the contri-
buttons Afric& had made to the civilization CT
Greece and Rome, and through them of the
Anglo Saxon race. He showed in a striking
manner the degrading influence of the Ameri-
can slave trade upon the African race. BE
portrayed eloquently the fine characteristics
of the race he represented aud showed the
work that race ia yet to do ia the Christianizas
tion of tho world. He gave many striking
facts in regard to the recent discoveries in At
RIGA and the longing of the race for education
and Christianity. The address was aptly illus
trated with quotation and story. Professor
Stewards style is extremely finished, and he
shows at once the culture and clear Judgment
OF the Anglo Saxon with the intensity and
emotion of the African. We understand he
will be in Portland for few days, and his
cause is commended to the generosity of our
citizens

Portland and the short Line.
1t is apparent 10 the most casual observer
that there is great want of harmony in the
,minion cabinet. While the Quebec minis
tsrs are insisting on the purchase Of the North
Shore railway by the government, to form part
OF the Short Line railway to the Atlantic sea-
board, the acting minister of railways is en-
deavoriDg to dispose of his railway, tha Inter-
national, to the government to form part of
the short line system, which would result in
Portland or Boston being made The terminal
points, instead of Quebec in the summer, and
Halifax or some lower province port in the
winter. AS acting minister OF railways, Mr..
Pope has the inside track, and with the Cana
dian Pacific at his back, who are looking to-
ward Portla ii and Boston, he will get the up-
per hand Of Sir Hector Langevine and the
Quebec members unless matters take decid-
cd charge within the next few weeks. The
Canadian Pacific folks are building strong
hopes on the early construction of line from
St. P anil to Sault Ste Marie, where it would
connect with their road and act as an impor-
tant feeder. All that is necessary on the Ca
madam side is the extension of the Algoma
mills branch to the Sault With that and the
road on the American side complete d, the dis
rs follows: From st. Paul to the Sault 420
miles; from the Sault to Algoma Mills 80
miles; from Aigoma mills to Sudbury 96 miles;
and from Sudbury to Montreal 444 miles, MAX
ing the total distance 1850 miles, The short.
est all rail route between st. Paul and Mon
treal at present is from st Paul to Chicago 400
miles; from Chicago to Toronto 508 miles: and
from Toronto to Montreal 1888 miles, making
the total dis ance 1860 miles, or 200 miles lon
ger than by the proposed road to the Ssult
The construction of this road, it is believed,
would throw a large volume of western freight
on to the Canadian Pacific for transport to
the seaboard.

dnnad Ha maa rnnaiuad NTH nhaara

MriClfford said that he congratulated the people
In these closing hours of the twenty years of
Republican domination and misrule, and at the
commencement OF a quarter of century now be-
ginning, in which the people of this country were
about to enjoy the blessings of democratic liberty
Ali the arrogance all the selfsufciency of polit-
cal power which thought that 1t was too strong to
be overthrow, all the magnificent pretensions of
these, our enemies, the Republican party, how east
" they have been swept and brushed away by the
hand Of the people! 1t may truly be said that Baby
Ion in all its wickedness has fallen and its founda
tions have been destroyed. Mr.. Clifford then pro-
ceeded to indulge his personal bitterness towards
Mr.. Blaine and the Republican party quite in his
new but unbecoming manner of speech.
Continuing. Mr.. Clifford paid high compliment
to the men called independents, who have saved
this country, and In conclusion said: What has
been the real true aspect of the condition of the
politics of this country for the last three days?
viii talk honestly and candidly with you, and ask
you if am not correct. am not charging this up
on the Republican party in general; am charging
it upon the Blaine party; The corrupt leaven OF
Blaine had not leaveDed the whole lump, but it
leaveped enough to give him a party. What do
they propose to do? For two days and two nights
you and know that the returns fIom New York
were delayed when there was no excuse for that de-
lay, Why was IL? 1t was because there was de-
liberate determination ON the part Of the Blaine
party in New York to take New York ifithey could,
suited them best. They aimed for no small game.
This stealing of poor little Florida in 1875.
They aimed at the empire State of America, the
brightest jewel in the American diadem, the bright
est uminsry in the American sky, the Blaine party
would have stolen and put upon the head OF the
plumed knight of Maine. But the people of Ameri-
ca snatched that jewel from their grasp. and the
people OF this country have placed New York where
for years to shall shine the bright partcu
lar star in the democratic constellation.
Gen. J. J. Lynch was next called upon. He
was received with great applause and spoke
briefly.
che said that we should all be thankful that we
were now guaranteed four years of honest govern
msut. he Republican party is to-day showing
itself in Its tue colos. 1t Ii ready to steal the
rights which the American people are trying to
maintain but thanks to the honesty of the American
people, they cannot maintain the position which
they are endeavoring to take.
