On Sunday, 18th inst, Rev. Mr.. Jno. A.
Love, preached to crowded house from the
14th Psalm; the discourse was delivered In a
logical and earnest manner and many OF
those present were deeply interested in it;
Rev. Mr.. VIM. Todd followed by additional
remarks on the same Psalm and was given
respectful attention, because his unassum-
ing, earnest manner and consistent CHRISTI
ianly demeanor toward all have endeared
him to many and haye secured to him the
utmost respect and confidence OF all who
know him. He is undoubtedly one of the
very few who practice as well as preach.
Were one-tenth of the professed followers
of Christ imbued by the same spirit that is
believed to be the doings of Mr.. Todd and men
of his stamp, much more lasting good would
be done Throughout the world, both tempor-

forth an approval of the act. Then the vet

EXPIRE sIDENT ARTHUR VERY ILL.,
lie Maintains q Forced Cheerfalness,
Though the Cloud or Death
Hangs over.

Hangs Over.
Especial telegram to the Pittsburgh Dis
patch.l
BosTON, September 5.-An old.time
friend of ex-President Arthur has just
returned from visit to the distinguished
invalid at New London. and gives q
gloomy view of Mr.. Arthur's condition.
lie says the ex-President maintains a
forced cheerfulness, yet he soon tires in
conversation. His breathing begins to
grow shorter, and an enforced rest en-
sues. He has lost flesh to an extent
that makes a painful contrast to the
stalwart form of former days. The ro-
bust physique, ford countenance, and
manly yigor which made him one of the
handsomest men Of the times are gone,
and only a very sick man, greatly re-
duced in flesh, remains. lie looks as
though be might be sixty-6ve years old.
He feels the change bitterly, and ex-
pressions Of sympathy are most cheer
ipg TO him, and these are constantly
pouring in from all sections of the coun-
try. Mr.. Arthur reads all the news
papers with the greatest avidity, and
any paragraph Of foreboding kind
about himself makes him depressed and
anxious. His attendants exercise con-
tinued care regarding the contents of
papers taken to him.
There is little doubt that his illness
is a confirmed attack ola dreadful mala-
dy, and that the inevitable result is only
a question Of time. His friends watch
the slightest change in his symptoms,
fearful that the cloud of uncertainty
hanging over him may at any moment
fall.

OF 1882 is the one to be guided by in
making comparisons, rather than the
large vote which was brought out under
stress Of the presidential canvass. That
vote showed : Republican plurality Of

transferred to the Democratic side and
1000 were lost 10 the Prohibi-
