James Russell Lowell.


James Russell Lowell, as he appeared before
the Senate committee to argue the question of
international copyright, looked very little older
than he did when he became minister to Eng
land. His full beard had grown whittier, and
his large flowing mustache silvered into much
less of contrast than it presented then; but his
hair was as dark and as luxuriant and its part
just as straight and as equidistant from his ears
as it was then. He dressed with considerable
care in loosely fitting black Prince Albert coat,
and stood while he spoke with one gloved hand
on the table and the other tapping his chest and
the table alternately with the other glove He
spoke with dignifed drawl and an occasional
perfunctory smile, and, in the opinion of one of
the members of the committee, was great deal
more witty and classic than explicit He quoted
Charles Lamb occasionally for his humorous
illustrations, and referred more frequently to
dead than living authors He said, regarding
his own reading, that he was not much of an au-
thoritv on books of the present day. He read
very few of them. I'm my own literary progress, y

A New Name for Dunviiie's Irish Whisky,
Which Is To Be Boycotted.
New York Mail and Express.
Hugh ODonnell, one of the proprietors of the
large cooperage store at 19l Washington street,
Jersey City, whose residence is at 202 Henry
street, this city, says that a strong and wide
spread movement is to be formed in New York
against the sale of Dunville's Irish whisky.
That commodity is TO be boycotted because Of
the oppressive and obnoxious part played by
Mr.. James Bruce, the proprietor of Dunvilles
distillery at Belfast. 1t appears that Mr.. Bruce
has not only affiliated himself with the Orange
party in Ireland, but has left nothing undone to
thwart the plans of the Parnellites.
He has recently served notices to quit on a
large number Of tenants on his property in
South Tyrone who voted for VIM. OBren, the
successful Nationalist candidate for member of
Parliament The rent was only due six weeks,
and is not yet payable, as the usual gale day is
in March. Several Conservative farmers who
are deeper in debt to the estate are left undis-
turbed in their holdings.
Mr. ODonnell says that several influential
Irish liquor dealers here have already avowed
their determination to boycott Dunville's whis-
KY which will be known hereafter as the
"Rackrenter's Mixture"

had said. amid the laughter of the house.
Now he gave us an example of the doubtful
value OF these collective dispatches. Say, for
example, Lord Augustus Lotus comes to me
and asks me whether / am disposed to hear a
private letter from his Minister, Lord Clarendon.
He then reads me short epistle in the noble
lords own handwriting, and we talk the matter
over quietly for about an hour. Five days later,

armed with huge official dispatch from the
English Foreign Office. He commences to read.
I beg your pardon, your Excellencyr interrupt
him. but you told me all that last Monday"
Yes, so did; but now the dispatch has to go
into the blue book"
Then, suppose must now repeat my an.
swer all over again for the benefit of your blue
book?'
Certainly If your excellencv sees no reason
against it-that is what is required.
well, suppose must let you have it," and
so have to give up another hour to him just for
the sake of the blue book and have, in addition,
constantly to explain to the English ambassador:
This sentence is not meant for your blue book"
as, for instance that look upon the blue book
as an essentially wordy and superfuous insttu-

1t is almost impossible to get anything done
properly, and the congressman of both parties
are very severe in their condemnation of gov
eminent officials. The Democrats say nothing
publicly but they are damning their own officers
under their breaths. The Republicans do not
scrupe to say what they think of things, and
their criticisms of the work at the Pension Office
are long and loud. They say it is almost impos-
sible to find the status of pension cases, and that
though pensions are perhaps being granted in as
large numbers as they were year ago they are

papers or justice. at used to be" said one Of

did not seem able to get the simplest thing in re-
gard to it in his head, but l finally left him,
promising me that it should be attended to right
away. In this case it took hours of time to look
up the record and tell how it stood. There was
no index on the back of the papers as to the
progress of the case, or the contents within. Had
it been under the last administration 1 would
have found the Commissioner at his desk. When
I.told him what l wanted he would have touched

Now all is chaos and confusion, and injustice is
being done thousands of soldiers every day."

leV. Y. VI. Sanders closed his more
than eleven years pastorate with the First
Congregational church last Sunday even
ing in the presence of a large congrega-
ton. The choir consisted OF Mrs. Will
liams, Miss Kingsley, Mrs. Masten and
Messrs. Whitcomb, Sanders, Ransom and
Powelson, with Mrs. Holt as organist.
Rev. Lange, Of the German church and
pastor ofthe South Congregational church,
read the scripture. Rev. Mr.. Sullivan, Of
the First Baptist church, offered prayer
and assisted in other parts Of the services.
Mr.. Sanders announced as his text:
From Darkness to Light Acts 26:lS,
taking for his theme, "Thc Shadows and
Sunshine in a Pastors Life which was
Illustrated by incidents taken from per-
sonal experience. During the sermon he
presented these facts relating to his pas
torate here: lie had preached about | 900
sermons, attended ll3 funerals, and SOL
emnized l26 marriages. When he came
to Cheyenne he found but seventeen mem
bers in this church, who had been without
a pastor for W years. Two hundred and
six have been received into the church
since then. Then it was the only Congre-
g%ational church in the territory; now there
are three in Cheyenne and ten in tn. ter
ritory. A new meeting house has been
built and the parsonage purchased. The
congregation has raised more than S35, 900
in the past eleven years. Then there
were only eight Congregational churches
in all this region; more.than forty have
been organized since that time.
In concluding his sermon, Mr.. Sanders
urged upon the church to give to their
new pastor their heartiest co operation
and their more earnest prayers. And
now, brethren, | commend you to God
and to the word of His grace, which is
able to build you up, and to give you in
heritance among all them which are sane
tilted. Finally, brethren, farewell. BE
perfect, be of good comfort, be Of one
mind, live in peace, and the God of love
and peace shall be with you. The grace
of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of
God, and the communion of the Holy
Ghost, be with you all. Amen
Miss Kingsley sang a beautiful song in
an impressive manner The congregation
united in singing a closing hymn, My
Days are Swiftly Gliding By" Prayer
was offered by the pastor, and thus ended
the relationship which has been so pleas
ant and so useful to this church and peo-
pie.
Mr.. Sanders announced that the Rev.
DIR. Williams, of Philadelphia would oc-
cupy the pulpit next Sabbath, and the
Rev. Mr.. White, of Green Bay. Wis,
would preach Nov. II and 2l.
At the close of the services, Rev. Mr..
Sanders was called upon in his study to
perform a marriage ceremony.
