out doubt the freigh robbers, as large
quantities of the missing property has
since been found at the residence of the

Rev, Henry Ward Raachpr ha0an q

Rev. Henry Ward Beecher began a
series of sermons on Evolution" at
Plymouth Church, Brooklyn, N. Y,
on Sunday morning, the oath. The
edifice was crowded. Mr.. Beecher's
discourse expressed the views of the
speaker that have been known for a
long time. Mr.. Beecher said he saw
no bridge between the human race
and the animal kingdom, and in their
origin men had gradually grown up
from Barbaric condition. Man ap-
peared on earth ages before the time
given in Christian history. The first
people to gain any knowledge of God
was the Hebrew race, the people on
whom all the Christian world to-day
wipes its feet. Gradually men have
found God by experience. God gave
no instructions to man originally, but
left him to find out everything for
himself. His only revelation was af-
ter man had gained some idea Of
moral quality. The rest Of Mr..
Beecher's sermon was a demonstra-
ton of the development of the idea of
God in the mind of man.

Fashten Notes.

From the New York World.l Fancy jewels are more in favor than ever. We are overwhelmed with Byzantine models of all shapes and sizes.
 There is new fabric called cheviot mus lin, which is not thicker than woolen crape, and makes up very prettily in plaited skirts and tunics.
 Bedroom slippers perfectly charming, being of dark velvet lined at the sides with satin, and trimmed with ruche and bow of satin ribbon.
 Striped silk and velvet pekins are much employed in combination with lighter fabrics for summer toilets, more especially for bodi- ces and tunics.
 Entire lace dresses, that is, those cut from net lace, in the same fashion ss any other piece goods. will be one of the special fea- lures of the present season.
 Colors for gloves are very quiet and the popular demand is limited to a few shades such tan, couple of shades of Congo or light leather colors and some shades of me dium gray.
 A novelty in Japanese fan is made of parchment, the design somewhat like bunch of grape leaves, and between the leaves are openings which offer convenient places for observation.
 Among the ribbons specially adapted for summer bonnets handsome grenadine ribbons with wide satin stripes, which come
 in cream color, light blue, pink, the new
 chartreuse and a couple of shades of ecru. Canvas shoes for mountain and seaside
 wear will be worn by both ladies and chil- dren. They can be procured to lace or but
 ton but the laced canvas shoes are in much
 greater demand than those that are buttoned.
 Among the latest introduced materials,
 one of the prettiest is that which has velvet
 patterns brocaded over gauge so as to look
 like applique work. In some instances the
 velvet patterns are edged around with beads.
 This is used chiefly for summer mantles,
 but also for tunics and panels or draperies over a silk skirt.
 remarkable change in gentlemen's even ing dress made it's appearance in Paris last winter. Short knee-breeches were worn there on all festive occasions. They do not fit tighter than the usual long trousers, and can be made, according to choice, of either cloth or satin. They reach below the knee,
 are fastened with three buttons on the outer seam, and finished off with band and met
 al buckle or silk ribbon tied in full bow
 Black silk stockings and very low patent
 leather shoes are an indispensable addition
 to the short knee-breeches According to
 choice, gentlemen can wear to the indispen-
 sable dresscoat either black or white waist
 coat, the former made either of fine cloth,
 silk armure or some other damask-patterned
 silk, and the latter exclusivelyso of fine ribbed
 pique. A shirt with front of the same pique
 and linen collar and cuffs is considered es-
 pecially 'spschutt" to this waistcoat Young
 gentlemen wear single button in their
 shirts, but this must be gold, and can also be
 set with jewels; older gentlemen prefer three
 studs. The buttons chosen for the white
 waistcoat as well as the double cuff studs must match the shirt buttons.

THE MARCH OF CHEAT REFORM MT. Dorman B. Eaton has in the current number of the North American Review a very glowing account of the success and progress of Civil Service Reform. The facts he sets forth are certainly encouraging.
 The reform has been in operation about two years. The examinations in the outset extended to. the three great branches of the service, including 5,650 places in the de
 psrtments at Washington, more than $500 in the postal service, and nearly 2,600 in the customs service. In all to more than fourteen thousand places, known as the classified service, every vacancy in which must be filled from those certified under the Commission on the basis of superior merit as disclosed in the examinations. No mere workmen or laborers were included As abuses were greatest in the largest offices, the customs and postal offices having fifty or more employees were included At these postofices almost half of all the postal clerks and carriers in the Union are employed, and at these customs offices iye-sevenths of all the customs officials of the Union serve, and ninety-six per cent. of its customs revenue is collected. At Washington, 77 places, for which appointments are subject to confrma- ton by the Senate, and IA places, tor va- rous technical reasons, are excepted from the examinations, but not other wise from the rules. The filing of the classified service under the Act and Rales began July 16, 1883, and has con sinued without exception under the present as under the last administration. For that purpose more than Ii ,000 persons have been examined, and more than 225 separate exam nations in all parts of the Union have been held. Of the 6, ,347 persons examined in the year ending January 16, 1885, 5,525 were males and 822 were females. Of those ex- amined about two-thirds have been found competent for appointment. From those graded highest among them, nearly 2,600 have been appointed on certifcations made under the Commission, each appointment being made for the probationary period of six months, and permanent appointment depending on good conduct and efficiency during the probation. The appointees un- questionably are about equally divided be- tween the great parties. In but single case has political discrimination in making an ap- pointment been charged. An investiga ton showed it to be unfounded.
 One interesting result of the work is the destruction of the theory that competitive examinations would result in filling the ser vice with young college graduates The aver age age of all the applicants was thirty years, and of 5,556 as to whom the record is complete 8, ,920 received their only education in the common schools, while but 449, or less than one in twelve, had ever been to col lsQe

south of Coney Island and shoot projectiles l weighing ton apiece the whole length of
 Broadway, if it was a straight street. The
 fire one of these guns once would supply an ordinary American man-of war for half g dozen broadsides. From the chilled steel sides of the Benbow, the plates alone being eighteen inches in thickness, any projectile which such American guns as are now in ex- istence could throw would roll off harm lessly.
 All who travel and some who don't are in- terested in the decision of the Iowa Supreme court that 8 hotel keeper who receives guests knowing that there is contagious disease in his house is liable in damages to any guest who may contract the disease. The plaintiff went to the defendants hotel and was taken down with the smallpox. She caught the disease from 8 guest who was in the house when she went there. The landlord knew that there was g case of smallpox in his house when he admitted the plaintiff When the latter got well she sued fer five thousand dollars damages and obtained a verdict. It appeared that before going to the hotel the plaintiff had heard 8 rumor that there was smallpox there. The defendant put in the plea that the plaintiff was guilty of contribu- tory negligence in not making inquiry as to the truth of the rumor. On this point the court said that by keeping his hotel open for business the landlord in effect represented to all travellers that it was g reasonably safe place at which to stop.
 The Springfield Union makes suggestion worth attention when it says that the Repub- ican party ought to insist that the party in power shall bear the full responsibility for every congressional as for every administra- tive act Each new Congress decides for itself how it will make up it's committees The standing committees of the House of Representatives are omnipotent.> The bills which they report get attention and no oth- CTS It has been customary to represent both parties on the standing committees, and the bad results of such division of responsibili- ty have begun to receive serious considera- ton by the ablest men in both parties. Let the Republicans, says the Union, ''rsfuse peremptorily to accept places any stand ing committee of the House in the next Congress. Insist that tke Democratic speak CT and the Democratic chairmen of Demo cratic committees shall stand before the country as solely responsible for every meas ure of Democratic legislation originating in the Democratic House of Representatives, opposing them only in open debate and by no other method than by argument and a compact minority vote."

 No wonder Victor Hugo got rich if the stories told about his dealings with publish ers and managers of theaters are true. For his novel 'L'homme qui Tit" he demanded 400, ,000 francs, and when the sum had been paid he sold it again to 8 newspaper, which printed it first and thereby raised it's circula- ton to 120, 900 copies, while the publishers became bankrupt For each of his dramas produced in Paris the manager was obliged to guarantee Hugo 65 to 70 per cent. of the net proceeds. Besides this he demanded the whole amount taken in at every tenth per- formance, and at every performance 200 of the best places, which he sold for his own benefit.
 Two years ago, when the German language was made obligatory in the Assembly of the Imperial Provinces, great outcry was raised, and one member of the Reichstag even asserted that, of the ffty-seven mem bers in the Alsace-Lorraine Assembly, no more than eight, or at most ten, would be able to take part in the public debates. From the list of the speeches made at the recent session (the twelfth) it is seen that thirty-four members, including four from Lorraine, took a prominent part in the proceedings, and that with such an eloquence and readiness of repartee as to prove that the use of the German language is anything but an "odious hindrance'' to them.
 Some facts which came out at hearing in Washington the other day indicate that the brewers of this country find rice very useful. . It appeared that the brewers of this country are using about s5, ,O0O, GOO pounds of broken rice annually, while the production in the South is less than 6,000,000 pounds. To compel the brewers to pay an increased duty on large imports in ordert to protect 1000, 900 pounds of the domestic article was claimed to be an injustice to the trade not warranted by law Telegrams from Louisiana rice men showed that until the brewers commenced to use broken rice there had been comparative ly little demand fer it, and that since that time the price had advanced.
 England has navy, and the latest addi- tion to it is formidable affair. The Ben bow, just launched in the Thames, is without doubt the most powerful man-0f-war afoat, and in addition to her enormous bulk she will have speed which will make our new cruisers, fast though they will be, seem slow in comparison The armament of the Ben bow is not the least important feature of this lsviathan With two 110-ton steel rifles her crew would be able to take up a position
