A Sermon on immortality,

Rev. Father Murphy preached yesterday
morning, at st. Michael's church, sermon
on the evil tendencies of the age, i'm which
he alluded to the recent terrible revelations
of immortality in London. There i'm city.
and among a people, he said, Boosting of
their civilization, crimes are committed
which exceed anything recorded of Sodom
or GOmOrah. Why is this? 1t is because
of the want of faith. the infidelity, the
grasping spirit of the age. The rich grind
down and Cypress the poor, and the doc
trine is taught that to be rich is TO be virtu-
Gus. Get rich, by fair means, if you can.
but get rich, is the advice given. Poverty
Is looked upon as crime TO be punished
What was true in England is true also i'm
greater or lesser degree in this country.
Money-getting is the great consideration:
the poor are oppressed, and virtue is con-
sidered of only secondary Va u. God will
punish all this crime and immortality. He
will not allow this oppression and vice and
sin to continue. The day of accounting is
nearer than many of us think or imagine.

the Course To be Followed.
The interest heretofore manifested in
fhe Improvements of the upper Mississippi
has been increased somewhat by the action
Of the governor in naming the date for the
convention.

Davidson. proprietor Of the Saints line of
steamboats, PLYING between st. Louis and

the benefits it ought to have of government

portion. To show the great benefits which
would come from a more liberal treatment
of St. pauTs interests the commodore citeu

spoke of the work already done as but a
foundation. The channel has been
deepened and made stationary III some
places. so that in times OF ordinary
of water boats do not have much difficulty
between here and ST. Louis. But even
with the improvements that have been
made the water is at times 100 low for easy
navigation. and then much of the work Will
be lost unless taken care Of. Many OF the
improvements are in an incomplete state,
and liable to be washed away by the action
of the water unless more strongly fortified.
There are two courses open to congress.
One is to abandon the work, and the other
is to appropriate enough money to carry
out the plans OF the engineers; for the pres
ent plan of appropriating only enough
money to begin work, which the elements
win soon destroy, is but little better than

The drug trade continues excellent, and

of harvest an increase in business is eX-

! Aug 9, with extra races ON all available
intervening days. 1t will be replete with
stake events. the best horses of all sections
of the country being engaged.
| On July 81, the opening day, the ball is
set in motion by the usual Introductory
scramble of five furlOngs, to be followed by
a SweepStake at mile, for all ages, which
has an entry list of fOrty-three, among the
number being such good ones as Pearl Jen-
ningS, Jim Renwick, MOdeSty, Himalaya,
TrOubadOur, Billy Gilmore, Tom Martin,
Powhatan and Volante. The third event
will be the rich TraverS stakes, at mile
and three-quarterS, for three-year-oldS, and
In the seventy-five nominated we find the
names of Tyrant, Irish Pat. BOOtblack, Joe
Cotton, Biersan, Ten Stonessan others that
have been tried, together with many that
have yet reputation to make.
On the second day, Thursday, July %,
there are two closed events, the first being
the Flash stakes, for twO-year-olds, at half
mile, and the Excelsior sweepstakes, for
all ages, at a mile and quarter. In the
hrst-named there are twenty-SiX nOmina-
uOns, OF which Tartar, Bessie 3, Refrain,
Waddel, Bryant, Bonita, Primero and
santa Anita Belle have already been win
nerS, while in the second are to be found
Kataplan, TrOubadour, KosciuSko, Verano,
Nolante, Freeland, Swiney and MOdesty.
Inc best of the Baldwin and Corrigan sta
bles it will thus be seen are engaged, and
given good track, a fast race can conf
IDENTIFY be looked for.
Saturday, July IS, will wind up the first
weeks sport, the principal event for the
day being the Alabama stakes, for three
year-old fillies, distance mile and fur
long, which COrrigan's stable seems at pres
ent to have the best chance of winning
should Lizzie Dwyer have sufficiently re-
covered from the injury received in the
West. With her out of the way the race
seems to be decidedly open one, there be-
ing many untried ones in it.
During the second week such important
events as the Saratoga stakes. Saratoga
cup, lroquoiS stakes, Cash handicap sweep
stakes and the Spinaway stakes are to be
decided. For the cup there are twenty-five
nominated, aud the meeting of Modesty,
Rataplan, Tom Martin, Bob Miles, Bnette,
Lucky Il, Freda, General Monroe and st.
Saviour, or the larger portion of them,
promises to make the cup race of 1885
memorable one. Taken altogether, guam
tlty and quality, there will be no better
racing during the season than will take
place at Saratoga during July and August. |

The Rice Street Cutting.

The cutting affray on Rice street bridge
early yesterday morning has not resulted
as seriously as first supposed. Madden, the
victim, was examined again by DIR. Ancker
yesterday and his wound pronounced not
dangerous. The assailant," says the doe
tor, meant well enough, but he failed to
get deep enough" After a strict inquiry
about the matter the police concluded that
the man who did the cutting was one John
Stitch. hard man living Oh Rice street. He
was accordingly arrested and placed in the
police station. When arrested Stitch was
in bed. The officer asked him if he had
had row little before that time. His
answer was: Yes. and l did the man up

CHICAGO, july 19.-The commissioner
of the COlorado-Utah association has or
dered a 10 per cent. reduction on wheat
for eastern shipment from all association
points IN Colorado and Utah. This reduces
the rates in that territory west Os the Mis-

sons given for the reduction is to help the

feared that this rate will make trouble with
the Southwestern roads that cannot partic-
ipate in the haul, when the Eastern roads
are asked 10 participate in the reduction.
The rates on the roads in the association
running the states other than Colorado and
Utah have been left standing at 20 cents
and there Will doubtless be a howl of in

that Lucky Baldwin has hired the jockey
