Success of Beecher's New Cough Remedy.
NEW YORK, February l6th.-When Mr..
Beecher had concluded the PRAYER yester-
day morning about half the people present
relieved themselves of pent-up coughs. The
pastor looked soberly at them until they
had got through, and then remarked: " As
a physician | might say to you that much
coughing is hurtful as a musician | can
tell you that it is abominably diScordant. !
don't want folks to iniure themselves by
restraining from coughing. but it always
struck me as being very funny that nobody
coughs throughout a long prayer but just
as soon as the prayer is over there is tenn
pestuOuS wave of it, Not i cough was
heard during the sermon.

told ONeill that his services We're no lon
ger required.

NEW YORK, February lGth.--Heber New
ton preached yesterday morning to very
large congregation, taking as His text the
words. =" Without God in the World" In

preacher, and it seemed very clear to
Newton's hearers that he had begun his
new series of discourses, building up the
series as promised by him. He concluded
as follows: All roads lead out into mys-
terry. So far from eXhausting this mystery,
science has only deepened, broadened,
heightened it. Little men OF science may
brag and take on airs Of omniscience
Great men OF science, modest and humble,
confess that all our knowledge leaves us
still before infinite mystery"
