The Modern Preacher.

A result of the new form of supply
and demand is see n ih the appearance
Of the modern preacher. He rarely
now, unless of the very old school,
wears any distinguishing mark. The
white 'choker'' has gone among the
fossils. The preacher on the street is
no longer to be picked out by his
dress. by his unctuous expression, his
solemnity of mien, or the dignity of
his bearing. He is in the swim, and
IN undistinguishable part of it: He
las the alert look of a man of the
world. His eyes are wide open and
ne sees what is going on, and he is at
10 loss to know what it all means.
The simplicity and trustfulness of the
vicar of Wakefield find no reproduce
zion in the western minister. No
OunkO operator ventures, to address
\ bargain of any kind he is a deft
trader, and there is no possibility of
his being over-reached. The keen
ness of the circuit-rider in the matter
of a horse trade has almost attained
the dignity of a proverb.
Un4uestionably it is better that the
present preacher should have this
shape than that which he possessed in
olden times. He is now live member
of the community, and takes an active
part in all its enterprises. He does

If his pulpit, his fe~ On the earth and
his thought leagues away, engaged in
the solution of some complex spiritual
problem. He is among men, and of
them in body as we'll as spirit: He
;an interest people because he knows
the world which they inhabit, and can
address them on points which they can
sympathize with and comprehend.
He has doffsd the cassock and donned
the business coat of ordinary men.
The shovel hat has given way to the
Derby or glittering "tile.'' It is we'll
that he has thus changed, for now he
can reach down from the height of the
pulpit and manipulate the affairs of
everyday life. He can mix enough
earthly matter with his spiritual
draugh hts to commend them to human
palates and to permit the belief on the
part of the thirsty drinker that he is
luaffing something which he can taste.
Much OF the "waters of eternal life''
dealt out by the preacher of earlier
days was of the Barmacide character,
neither tasted nor exhilerating. The
nearer the preacher can get to the
human side of the people, the more
effective will he be as their guide and
teacher. Chicago Times.

An Extemporized Marriage.
From Three Months in the Soudan.

The magnificent extravaganza of the
late khedive is we'll exempli6ed in the
small palace he built for the Empress
Eugene, and which has never been oc-
cupied since. Here, too. an instance of
thorough oriental arbitrariness occurred.
The empress, while thanking the khe-
dive for the magnificent reception he
had given her, happened to say that the
only thing she had not seen was All
Arab marriage. Indeed, said the khe-
dive, ''this shall soon be remedied." SO
he sent for A. D. c., gave him one >of
his Circassian slaves from the harem,
presented him with large dowry, and
told the astonished official that every
thing was to be ready in two days.: ,
Accordingly, on the second day there
was grand marriage a + Arabe. The
empress was greatly pleased, and the
A. D. c., nam far more European
than E Egyptian, and who spoke several
European languages splendidly, found
himself indissolubly attached to Ma
homedan wife, while all along it had
been the dream of his life to marry a
European lady, one educated like him
self, and with whom he could associate.
But he knew he dared not refuse. and
so an accident settled! his whole future
life.

Russia's . Motive For War.

From the PhiladelphiF Evening y T19legraph. !: )
One evident and powerful re:asdn why
Russia should urge war does not come
to the surface in the present entang GLE
ments, but 1t is q most decided factor in
the prob blem. At least as much of q
motive as Indian conquest is the, desire
of the throne and the nobility TO secure
themselves through the exciting Of q
general patriotic spirit. History has
shown before now that one of the SUR
est antidotes to internal dissension is
external diversion. With all the ha-
tired of the imperial power among a
large class of Russians, there is def
mite love of country which may be ap-
pealed to forego it's attacks upon home
interests in the face of national perils.
The game, to be sure, has sometimes
failed. The Nephew of his Uncle tried
It and went under in the process. But
it Is possible Russian imperialism may
be more successful. It may not con-
quer England, but it may quiet Nihilism
and that, we may be sure, is one of its
chief objects in engaging in d foreign
war;

The Boy, Clerk and Merchant.

In prominent city in Northern Ohio,
and in prominent retail dry goods
store, German lad found a situation:
He was patient, Industrious and ambi-
tious. He rose, step by step, in
position, salary and in the confidence
Of his employers. He finally was
placed in charge of the print depart
ment with salary of 81, 400 a year.
He had so faithfully improved his op-
portunities and his time that he was
we'll versed in the dry goods trade and
felt confident of his own ability to be-
gin business for himself
During his years Of clerkship he had
made the acquaintance of leading
salesman in prominent dry goods job:
bing house who sold his employers
very largely. He interviewed him and
asked him if he would give him credit
for goods if he commenced business on
his own account. After an investiga=
tion on the part of the New York sales
man he was informed that he would
give him credit for all the goods lie
wanted to buy.
The young German came to New
York with So 900 in cash, and bought
bill of dry goods amour ting to over S.
900. This was nine years ago., His
sales the first year were $25, 600, Sand
increased steadily, until last year they.
amounted to $254,000. The first week
of this March he visited New York for
spring goods, and brought with him
statement of his affairs, showing that
he could close out his business 1mmedi-
ately and have cash capital Of $72,-
900. He is the largest customer of the
salesman who helped him at the start,
and he does not forget the friendship
and favor that in the beginning was the
foundation of his business.
Wherein lies the secret of this young
merchants success? In his answering
and undertaking honesty. It was his
honest, upright character that gave him
credit at the start, and it bides with him
still. It is said of him that in all the
years of his business he never made but
one claim for shortage of goods, but
that often he has reported mistakes in
favor of the jobber, which he corrected
and mailed the difference in money
This is certainly a refreshing side in
dry goods history which jobbers would
be glad to appreciate, but seldom have
opportunity, as mistakes in the job
bers' favor are not of frequent correc-
tion.
There is no patent right for this young
merchants success; the way is open for
every boy and clerk in dry goods store
for where there issa will there is
way. Try it, young clerk behind the
counter; work for it and aim to be an
employer yourself.

A wall was grown up between the two:

Nor how the wall was built, w.een-

MONEY And BUSINESS.

Last week was not unlike those which have
Immediately preceded. in the course of bus-
ness. The stock market was strong but with
out clearly defined reason for its strength. The
markets for products were variable and unccr-
tain with a general tendency toward lower
prices in pork and lard, while grain slightly
advanced, sugar was a triilc higher, and in
cotton, OIL dairy products and various prod
ucts of iron and steel, no change of Importance
appeared.
The wheat market has pursued an uncertain
course ever since the great rise sixteen weeks
ago, and, notwithstanding the advance of Ia
cents last week, the closing price was lower
than that Of April Is by pig cents After that
date, sudden spurt lifted the price about 2
centshigher near the end of April, and then came
q drop Of cents. Then there was recovery to
about 81 O3, and the market fingered near that
point until May %, after which another decline
of q cents eliminated early in juno. By
June 20 the price mad recovered about
cents and ever since has wayercd be-
tween 81 Obs and 90 cents, closing ut ~ 00ss.
This closing price Is 5i2 cents higher than the
highest and 10 cents higher than the lowest of
the corresponding week last year, for then be-

prices of the century Conflicting stories about
injury to the crop have caused the uncertain
course of the market this year, and for weeks
the price has been such rs to check exports.
But a considerable demand for exports last
week helped to cause the advance realized. IL
is still question whether the injury really sus
tanned is enough to warrant the present price,
or to Justify the expectation that the market
will continue to range materially above that Of
last year. II not, the Agricultural Bureau re-
port which will soon appear is likely 10 lead
to selling by those who regard it as the most
trustworthy information obtainablc.
The stock market closed ut an average OF
$50 81 for sixty active stocks. which was only
about thirty cents per share for active stocks
lower than the price for the same week last
year. Here again the question is suggested
whether circumstances are more favorable to an
advance than they were at that time. II there
is reason to believe that the price of wheat

NOW FOR THE MONUMENT! !

The great pageant has passed, but the PLAIN
duty of American patriotism remains. Inc
fund for the monument which is to tower above
the grave at Riverside Park must be rapidly
raised There may be other memorials East,
West and South, erected in spirit OF honorable
rivalry between cities aud sections, and attest
ing the popular appreciation OF the robust
virtues aud patriotic services of the National
hero. But the grave ought not to pass un-
marked and neglected "a single year. mon
ument should be speedily placed on that bold
bluff overlooking the Hudson. 1t would be a
National disgrace to have the history of the
Washington Monument repeated, or to have
the new committees importuning an indifferent
and listlcss public for contributions, rs the
Pedestal committees were forced to do Tor a
long period. Prompt and elective action Is
reauislte. 1t is the paramount duty Cf the
Nation and of the city to undertake this work
without delay and to conduct it with unfiag-
ging energy to the end. 1t would be more pa
triotic to expend smaller sum- even so little
as $25O,OO0, rather than the millions fervid
and spasmodic enthusiasm has been naming
during the last fortnight, and have the monu-
ment planned and erected within reasonably
short period.
The committees in charge of the monument
fund need to bcstir themselves and take active
measures for imparting to this memorial pop
ular as well as National character. Let the
impression be removed that years are to pass
before the monument is erected. Let the word
20 out to town and country that the work Is to
be rapidly prosecuted, and that every Ameri
can, who is grateful to the heroic soldier
and whose soul is illumined by a
spark of patriotic pride, is called upon
to make at once public Offering in aid
of the monument. Let the money roll in from
rich and poor alike, and let no cynic in this OF
in foreign lands have the opportunity OF repeat
ing the slur that republics are ungrateful.
With liberal and general response from all
classes in tho community magnificent fund
can be raised in a few weeks.
The TRIBUNE already stands pledged to do
what it can In aid of this National undertaking.
1t will employ all its recognized agencies and
will receive and acknowledge subscriptions
from the readers of its several editions and do
whatever may be possible TO promote the sue
cess of the movement. 1t deprecates in the
strongest terms apathy and public indifference.
