Henry ward fseecheE's Tribute to che
Dead Prelafe.

New York, October 12.-Piymouth
Church, Brooklyn, was thronged yester-
day by an unusually attentive audience,
who believed the Rev. Henry Ward
Beecher would make some reference to
the death of Cardinal McCloskey. Mr..
Beecher spoke on the resurrection and the
translation Of the spiritual in man to
heaven. In conclusion he said: "Fhat
dear old man that has gone up from
among those who loved him leaves behind
his Cardinals throne, the purple of his
robes and his tiara. 1t was well enough
that he should have them and the SYM
bols OF his authority, but the moment that
he emerged into that other life he stood in
his spiritual entirety, where his temple
was his Lord. When he lifts his venera-
BILE head there he will be young, young in
the presence of his God, and he will re-
main with those he loved and with those
whom he has consigned to destruction,
for he will be there too. L rejoice in his
transmission as do OF all the saints. This
is the testimony of Protestant, remem-
Der. You could not make Catholic out
c. nIe any more than you could make an
eagle chained in barnyard LAY eggs"

AN election will take place in Ohio to-
day for Governor and other State officers
and for members of the Legislature that
will elect a successor 20 John Sherman.
Democrats who know the State well pre-
dict that Gov Hoadly will be elected, and
that the Democrats will have majority
on joint ballot in the Legislature sufficient
toeiect Ex-senator Thurman to Sherman's
place. The bloody-shirt canvass inaugu-
rated by brother John" was q failure.
None other of tho Republican speakers
made any reference to it. 1t fell fat as a
stupid attempt to revive policy rebuked
by the people when they defeated Blaine
in 1854 stupid and short-sighted at
tempt to divert the attention of the peo-
pie of Ohio from teal and tangible State
issues. Foraker wisely declined to shake
the bloody rag, but even his good sense in
that direction failed to counteract the in
Jury inflicted by Sherman, who, it is con-
fdently hoped, hss made his last canvass
Tor public office.

The Eclipse I'm the Far Northwest.

\ Winnipeg telegram of the 10th
says: In Winnipeg the eclipse began at
ten hours, eight minutes. three seconds
A. NJ, mean or solar time, or about
half-past 10 O'Clock by the standard
time. Slowly the black mask crept
over the suns face until merely slen-
der crescent Of brilliant light remained.
At the moment Of the greatest obscura-
ton, thirty-two minutes past IL, or
exactly noon by standard time, it looked
as though the sun was going to be
swamped altogether. The warm, bril-
liant sunlight of day was changed into
pale. sckly twilight, and very CHASTITY
and unnatural everything looked by it.
Gradually the dark body of the moon
moved off the face of the sun. and by
iiity-nine minutes and forty seconds
past - o'clock sunlight once more illu-
minated the heavens. No official OBJ
seryation was made here. which is TO
be regretted, as Winnipeg is the most
northern and western city where the
eclipse could have been observed.
The thermometer went down many
degrees at the time of the greatest OBJ
ScuratiOn, and temperature of thirty
three degrees below zero was register
ed. During the greatest observation it
was very dark, and where fine work
had to be done it became necessary to
light lamps.

of men in the procession was not as
large as heretofore. The procession
passed in review before President Clevc-

was uncomlortably cold.
At Baltimore greater enthusiasm was

as heard from.
In New York two parades were
helC-onc on the east side and one on
the west side. In one procession
forty-eight branches Of the Order Of

marched and in the other procession
there were forty-nine societies of Hi

five from Kings, Queen, and Richmond
counties. The last-named party was
reviewed at the City Hall by the mayor
and then passed over to Brooklyn.
At Philadelphia there was no public
display. and a very quiet day is re-

II. l.. Swords, T.. j. Cohen, l.. III.
Hough, and John Moses. inspectors, re-
ceived brief notes from Secretary Man
ming to-day notifying them that their
services would not be required after
April LIST. They treated their dis
missals as the inevitable result Of
the change of Administration. Moses
thought that the clean sweepw was due to
Martin, in charge of the special agents
and inspectors, who had some grudge
against the Chicago officers. and took
the first opportunity of belittling the
service and securing their discharge.
Others expressed the belief that the
charges preferred against the New York
officers by the Chicago agents to the
effect that a privileged class Of New
York merchants was permitted so enter
goods at an differentiation, and thus
by underselling Chicago importers COM
pei the latter to buy of New York inn
porters, had excited the rivalry of the
New Workers. who in turn worked on
the feelings of Secretary Manning until
the Chicago officers were retired.
