SABBATH NOTES.
Meeting of the Y. M c. A-other Church
Doings.

The meeting of the Y. NJ. C. A. in the
basement Of the Travis Park Methodist
church, Sabbath afternoon, was large
and earnest, and gave solid evidence of
becoming not only permanent and even
brilliant success, but also an instrume n
tally Of great progress and religious i'm
provement to the membership and an
arm OF vast usefulness to the city and to
the divine cause in which 1t is enlisted
Several aged men were present, and
some boys. The vocal and instrumental
music was highly thrilling, owing TO the
soul manifested in the vocal part.
Mr.. Goss presided with natural and
courteous gravity, and addressed the as
ISOLATION on the new Christian life OF
good works and holy living, bringing
out the thought that under the Jewish
law no man was TO be condemned with
out hearing. 1t struck us that this is
often done In these fast times when pa
tient thought is such q burden to hun
dreds.
Rev. DR.. Neil preached on Sabbath
morning in Rev. Mr.. Chappel's
church on Christ, the foundation.
remarking that our Lord is the
only perfect example recorded. He
presented Christian perseverance, I'M
der the divine merciful aid, and the
necessity of Astounding in all the grsces
taught.
Dean Richardson, in st. Marks ca
thedral. set forth the thought, among
many others, that the Christian should
have far higher views than the
mere obtaining of livelihood by his
industry. This is fundamental, but there
should be trust in God and submission
to His providence under poverty and
disappointment, remembering it is
kind discipline for the highest welfare
of His people. One or two strangers
were engaged before the society in
audible conversation, to the disturbance
of worshiDpers.
Rev. Mr.. Chappell is very acceptable to
the church under his charge; they think
him extraordinary for learning, piety.
prOfoud thought and Scrlptural knOwl-
edge. 1t Is cheering and worthy of
commentator to see young man amid
the hosts of idle and listless pleasure
seekers Of the day, thus turn aside to
noble and divine and soul-elevsting
pursuits.
Rev. DIR. Scudder's suffering from a
spinal injury or overstrain and his con-
finement to bed, are deeply regretted by
all. He and his family have universal
sympathy.

THE GREAT STRIKE ENDED.
Message Received This Morning By The
knights of Labor.

The strike has ended!
This joyous news has flashed to-day
through the length and breadth of this
vast continent, causing huge sigh OF
relief to come from the national breast.
The message read as follows:
New YORK, March 29.-After confer
ence yesterday between Gould and Mas
te- Workman POwderly, orders were
sent from each to the contending par
ties in the Southwestern District to re-
sumo work. pending the arbitration OF
the difficulties.
More especially will this afford relief
to the great southwest, where CONNER
cial interests have been almost at stag
nation point for the past two months
and labor and enterprise crippled. With
the resumption of traffic and a satisfac-
tory ending of the strike it is devoutly
TO be desired that in the history of the
American continent no like struggle will
have to be recorded. The quiet policy
adopted by Grand Master P0wderly in
the matter, and his repeated attempts
at arbitration are worthy Of the highest
encomuims from capitalist and lsborer
alike.

These Scots are a great people. You
find them all over the world, and there
are wealthy and influential Scotchman
everywhere. They have left their imprint
on every generation and every country.
In literature we have Walter Scott and
Robert Burns; in history, David Hume;
in science, James Watt, who came from
near Glasgow; in statesmanship, Robert
Peel; and in money making A. 4. Stew
art and score OF others whose reputa-
ton is worldwide One of our United
States senator's, Mr.. Beck, is a Scotch
man; the inventor of the telephone, Pro-
fessor Bell, is a Scotchman, and everyone
knows Of Andrew Carnegie, the Pitts
burg millionaire. 1t is so with every Eng
disappearing country-America, Eng
land, Canada, and Australia; and when
you consider that Scotland has a popu-
lation no larger than that of Ohio, you
tee what q character that population
must have to create such an impress
Scotland is about three-fourths the size
y Of Ohio in area, but it has only about
one-eighth as much cultivatahle terri
tory. 1t has nothing like as good soil as
Ireland, and all that it gets it must
sweat for. StiIl its valuation of property
is twice that of Ireland, and it shows As
many signs CT prosperity as Ireland has
evidence of extreme poverty.

whv Good Tea e scarce.

One of the reasons why good cup OF tea
is SO scarce in this countrY-or elsewhere
out of China-is exploited by Professor
Redler, of the Presidency college, Cal
cutta, who furnishes to the Journal OK the
Asiatic Society of Bengal a memorandum
on certain experiments which he has
made on the c0rrOsion of the lead Innings
of Indian tea-chests. His conclusions are
that tea properly manufactured in the or
binary way has no power tG corrode lead
but if unseasoned and damp wood is used
for the boxes, corrosien of the lead is al
most certain, some varieties of wood act
ing more violently than others. Even
with seasoned wood, if it becomes satu-
rated with water, and be then placed In
favorable circumstances of heat and
moisture, corrosion takes place.
The active agent, he thinks, does not
exist ready formed in unseasoned wood,
but is produced by secondary action
from the constituents Of the wood. The
corrosion is not due usually to contacS
action between the lead and the wood,
but volatile substance is gradually pro-
duced from the unseasoned wood The
eorroding agent is usually acetic acid in
the presence of moist air and carbOnic
acid, but other acids of the same series
are sometimes produced and also act on
the lead, and in the case of butyric and
valerie acids the incrustatiOn is of q
greenish yellow, while that from acetic
acid is whitish or yellowish The lead
being corroded by these acids, which are
produced by the decor1poFition OF sub.
stances known to be present in the woods,
the tea takes up the disagreeable Odor OF
the latter after they have undergone the
change in which acetic, butyric, and the
other acids are formed, and viii thus be
come deteriOrated. Chicago News

Gen. Grant at first positively declined
to attend the ball gotten up in honor OF
his inauguration, but vas persuaded V
reconsider his determination. The use OF
the new north wing of the treasury was
seeured. and was wen adapted for the
festivities. although much trouble re-
suited from the employment of the coli
ored messengers as attendants in the

and gave out checks with alacrity. but
when people came later i'll the evening
and presented those checks, it soon be-
came evident that many of the messen-
gers could not read figures, and the cor
responding wrappings were not Iortn'
coming
After fretting awhile, some OF the in
dignant guests insisted on personally
hunting up their property in the roonas
and the contents Of the pigeon holes were
soon piled in heaps on the 1oor "nen
the managers were informed OF this mix
ing up of coats, shawls, overshHes and
hats into miscellaneous medley, they
sent one Of their number to endeaVor 10
straighten out matters. But as ne was
making his way up the crowded staircase,
he heard just above him the shrll voice
of Mr. Greeley inquiring for lone OF the
id fools who have undertaken 20 man
age this affair." with so much earnest
ness that the alarmed manager quietly
pulled off his gorgeous badge, turned
about and left the building, glad to Zee
from the wrath to come. I do not sup
pose that there was ever more angry,
