Resignation Of Chief clerk Jeffords.

Mr.. ]. F. Jsffords, who has so ably filled
the position of chief clerk in the railway
mail service of New England for nearly IA
years, has resigned to engage in other busi-
ness Mr.. Jeffords entered the service in
1864 in the Boston postoffice. In 1868 he run
the first postal car east of Boston and in jan
uary 1878 he was made chief clerk of the lines
running east of Boston, and he may well be
stvled the father of the railway service ON
these lines, for under his fostering care the
present through service from Boston to Ban

foot car only was necessary at the beginning
of Mr.. Jeffords' service, double, or night and
day service in 60 foot cars are now impera-
five. In 1878 he was ordered to move his
Headquarters to Portland, where he has
since remained. His reason for resigning
are solely on account of i'll health, and after

efficiently, he feels that change in business
may result to his personal advantage. The

The Election.

LONDON, July 10.-Mr. A. L. Brown, the
Gladstonian candidate for Harwickburgh, has
defeated Sir George Otto Trevelyan Bart,
the Unionist candidate, who resigned his
seat in Mr.. Gladstone's cabinet because OF
his non-concurrence in the Premier's home
rule measure. The defeat of Mr.. Trevelyan
has caused profound sensation in political
circles The Liberals are highly delighted
at the result The vote stood: Brown,
2523; Treyelyan, 2493 The good news has
greatly revived the spirit of the Gladston-
ians, and many of them are now predicting
the defeat of the Marquis of Harrington, the
Liberal Unonist leader, in the contest for
the Parliamentary seat of the Rossendale dl-
Vision of the Lancashireboroug, which seat
is now held by the Marquis. The election
takes place on Monday next.
The Tories will have majority. ms
morning they have 204 members, with 140
more election districts to hear from, OF
ry that number they will have 296, which is
80 short of half the House. They are likely
to gain ten over last year, and thus have ~
short of a majority. Thus Mr.. Chamberlain
will occupy in the next House the position OF
arbitrer of ministers, which Parnell held In In
the last Parliament, a situation which will
suit his peculiar genius.
1t is said that Mr.. Gladstone will bring
about another appeal to the people, be-
lieying that his defeat now is due to the
non-registration of voters among the nomadic
poor.
Returns up to midnight tonight show the
Conservatives have elected 2S9 candidates, the
Unionsts IS, the Gladstonians 149 and the
Parnellites u. The Conservative gain has
been reduced by two.
Mr.. Morley, chief secretary for ireland,
speaking at a meeting at Northampton to-
day, said that within a year Gladstone's s
Irish proposals would carry Parliament and
the country. Did anybody, he asked, think
the policy that Scotland and Wales and a
great part of England approved would be
heard of no more? None of the plans OF

PULPIT AND PLATFORM.
FIRST PARISH CHURCH.

FIRST PARISH CHuKCus
L Rev. III. Bernard Carpenter Of Boston,
discoursed in this church last evening. The
18th chapter of st. Luke containing the par
able of the Ninety and Nine" the Lost
Piece of Silver" and the ''Prodigal Son"
was made the basis of his remarks.
speaker said: "This chapter of Luke is axe
a great rainbow, its varied colors all blended
in one harm onious whole. 1t reminds me Of
one of the great dramas OF of some grand
cresendo in music when you find yourself
borne up until you are are at the very zenith
and find the door If heaven open before you.
The arrangement of Christ's sermon is no
ticeable bringing out as the one thought
around which all others cluster, the value OF
man.
Our attention is first riveted upon one in
hundred, then upon one in ten and finally
one in two, bringing higher and higher the
representative value OF man.. mol man IN
the aggregate, but as the indiyldual IN MS
solitary oneness before God. It IS on that
one Thought that Christ founds the center on
which he has based the plan Of eternal re-
demption There was never doctrine
which was so needed as now. Today when
we look at man we do not think OF him as
the individual. There are two gres.f- SltSeglns
which slowly moving on have brough5 aDous
| this state of things. The first comes from
| science Not the better science which is the
| twin sister of religion and which has risen
| M and unfolded its truths; but the atheistic
| science which cares nothing for you or for
| me, That wipes out the individual and
| when we follow her with the lamp OF analy-
| sis in our hand we find that the life is all she
| cares about there is another stream lssu-
/ ing from the political reservoirs Inc day
| has come when the individual is nothing.
| The multitude not the man rules in these
/ great political movements.
/ In spite of these Christ teaches the doc
| trine that YOU and all of us are OF some ac-
| count. But what constitutes the value OF
| mon9 throughout the whole chapter there
| is the Thought of the possibility of going as
| tray. There are two characteristics winch
| distinguish man from other animals; one IS
| that OF freedom. The animal world Is not
/ free nor is the material world. Man only Is
free God had abridged his own omnlpo-
| tence when he made man Tree, he cannos
/ take away means of liberty. IL IS simply De-
| cause man is free that calamities happen.
| The value of man rests also on his SELF
| knowledge. In this also he differs from tne
| animal kingdom. Man cannot return 70
| God. Never may be heard to ask man 70
| come to Jesus. There is great falacy IN
| this. God will have man first come TO nim-
| self. 1t is not till he knows his own p0r-
tion and his relation to this.universe and his
| Heavenly Father that he can come to God.
God found a man a broken instrument o.
music which might be made the producer OF
melOdious sounds. He loves as earthly par

NAMES HAY CROP.
The Yield of Last Year Undoubtedly
Exceeded.
A Good Prospect for Large Grain
and Vegetable Crops.

Mr.. C. L. McCleery writes to the Boston
Journal: The hay crop in Maine will be
little better than last year. Early in the
spring the wet, cool weather gave every evil
dence of an extraordinary crop, but the sue
ceeding dry weather gave the crop serious
setback, and the prospect now is, so far as
can be ascertained from reliable correspond
ents in every portion of the State, <that the
crop will average only little better than
year ago. Had it not been for several days
of rain the latter part of June there would
probably have been even less hay cut this
year thau last, for the grass had in many in
stances stopped growing, although the early
start and the vigorous growth the crop had
obtained had so shaded the ground that
evaporation was materially lessened. On
account of the rapid ripening Of the grass
good many farmers began their haying oper-
ations some two weeks ago, and have been
leisurely pursuing them since then, allowing
each field to obtain as much growth as pos
sible before putting the scythe into 1t. The
early spring gave the ox-eyed daisies and
buttercups an even better start than the
grass, and in many fields the middle OF June
one could hardly see the grass for their
abundance The poor character of the dals-
les as a feed each year causes farmers whose
fields are badly infested with the weed to
begin their haying as early as possible, and,
in some cases, before the grass has attained
its full growth. The rains of June undoubt-
edly added ten per cent to the hay crop, but
their effect was not so permanent as would
have been the case had they not been follow
ed so Immediately by such hot wave as has
been experienced since the first Of July. AS
far as can be ascertained, the condition OF
the hay crop and the expected yield are as

a WILD RIDE.
C. D. Graham Safely Passes Through
Niagara Falls In a Cask.
Description of the Craft in Which
the Daring Attempt Was Made.
Graham Receives No Compensation
for His Foolhardy Venture.

BUFFALO, N. Y, July 11.-C. D. Graham
passed safely through the Whirlpool Rapids
at Niagara Falls in cask this afternoon.
He is native of Philadelphia, 33 years old,
and cooper by trade. Having conceived
the idea of making the foolhardy voyage, in
attempting which Capt. Webb, the swimmer,
lost his life, he constructed barrel for the
purpose. It was of IT inch oak slaves,
and was shaped like buoy, being wide at
the top and narrow at the bottom.
Sand ballast was fixed to keep the
side of the cask, which Graham
faced, upright. Graham hung, or rather
stood, in a sort of hammock, made hke a
suit of clothes and held on to iron handles
fixed at the sides. He calculated that he
could live half an hour without fresh air,
and by that time he expected to be safely
through the rapids, when he could pull out
the plug and get a new supply.
About O'Clock Graham craWled into ms
barrel, and closed the man-hole at the top
from within. A boat then teWed the cask
out from the shore at point on the Amerl-
can shore below the Falls and about 300 rods
below the cantileyer bridge. The swift cur
rent caught it ard carried it along, moving
faster and faster until It dashed on WIN Iull
force. The cask bounded up and down over
the great waves, and several times turned
complete somersault, but generally the wider
portion remained uppermost, although IL
twisted around like top. The cask kept
pretty well in the centre of the river till it
reached the whirlpool, when it struck a
strong side current, and was carried swiftly
through, reaching the quieter waters beyond.
From here the journey was comparatively
easy. The cask fieated on towards Lewis
ton right side up, and all danger was passed
1t was picked up at Lewiston about five
miles below the starting point. and Graham
came out Of the barrel uninureSdi With tn the
ceived when passing through the whirlpool,
He remarked: "When l struck the eddles it
was continued round of jolts, but am not
hurt bit" Graham receives no compensa-
tion for his wild sail but the glory OF the ne
thing Few people knew when he was to
make his attempt, and consequently he did
not have many spectators.
The cask is seven feet long. 33 inches in
diameter at the widest part, % inches at the
top and Is inches at the bottom. It IS bound % md
pounds. The ballast weighs 240 pounds.
Graham will probably repeat the trip, lie
says he will yet go over the Horseshoe Falls.

CYCLONE STORM.
Great pamage to Buildings and
Crops.

BLOOMINGTON, Ill, July 1O.-This city and
vicinity was swept by cyclone storm at Z
o'clock last night The funnel shaped black
cloud was appalling. So far as can be learned
trees were blown down and wrecked else
where. and the street car lines blockaded,
signs torn down and small buildings demol-
ished In the midst of the storm a turtle
weighing twenty pounds fell from the cloud
upon the sidewalk, narrowly missing pedes-
trian.

says that in portions of Dakota, Minnesota,
Wisconsin and Iowa the injury to spring
wheat by blight has been increased and mas a.
embraced wider area than was noticed IN
reports Of preceding weeks. In the large
sin, where the fields were visited by light
rains at the close of this week, the damage
to grain was such as to prevent any revival
of life and the injury inflicted was complete.
In sections where the drouth was most mos
severe the yield will not exceed five to elgnt
bushels to the acre. The rains which pre-
vailed during tbs closing of the week BET
tered the corn prospects very greatly. 1a III
Iowa, Illinois, Indiana and Ohio all crops
not matured show injury from drouth, serli
Gus effect being shown in oats. The rye an anu y

are below the average.

STILL HOLDING THE ADAMS.
Report That She Has Been Released
unfoundec.

OTTAWA, July 10.-It was reported last
night the government had, on the demand of
fishing schooner d.. J.. Adams, recently
seized at Digby for violation of the fishery
regulations. The authorities here positively
deny that any action has yet been taken in
matter The deputy minister of fisheries,
when interviewed by your correspondent
this morning, said that had any steps. been
taken in that direction he would have known
it, and that in his opinion nothing would be
done until the vice-admiralty court, before
which the case of the Adams comes
up shortly has rendered judgment.
