Dr.. John Hall and Sam Jones, two men
at the opposite poles of pulpit power, sat
at DR.. Yincent's table in the Hotel Athe-
naaum, at Chautauqua, for some days in
the summer of 1856. The contrast between
the tall, dignified graduate OF Dublin uni
versity. and the small, wiry, qulck-witted
southerner, was marked and amusing. I'he
conversation was characterized by finished
sentences from DIR. Hall, interrupted by
bold rhetoric from the Rev. Sam.
At one time the conversation turned on
the custom of pastors exchanging pulpits.
DR.. Hall said: ''It seems 10 me advisable
for the truth to be presented occasionally
from new standpoint, with the hope that
another side of the listener will be deyel-
oped, and new depths of character re-
vealed." Yes" said Sam, laconically.
''change of grass is always good T"
Prof. Drummond was delighted with
Sam Jones last year, and heard him both
times that he spoke. We see that the
southern preacher is announced for July Il
and Is at Chautauqua this season, and that
his fellow-labOrer, Sam Small, will be pres
ent two weeks later.

FREDERICK's CONDITION AGAIN CRITICAL.
LONDON, April 2l.-A dispatch from
Chsrlottenburg sent at midnight says the
Emperor's condition is again critical. He
Is able to sleep, but he is We ish and
bresthes heavily.
The Times Berlin correspondent says
the Enperor's strength is greatly re-
duced. He is unable to articulste, out he
has acquired habit Of making himself
understood in simple matters by move
ments of the lips. The Times correspon.
dent confirms the report that the EN-
peror's condition is worse tonight.
The North German Gazette says al
though the Emperor did not leave his bed
yesterday he attended to sffsirs Of state.
he did not sleep. In the afternoon he
took food in satisfactory quantity. The
discharge of pus continues.

and experiences difficulty in breathing.
NOON BULLETIN.

been Issued: The Emperor passed a less
satisfactory night last night. His fever
Is now somewhat higher than it was yes
terday morning. His respiration is
fairly easy. His general condition is not
as good assit was yesterday.
2:30P M-Ths Emperor's fever has
slightly absted and the discharge OF pus
has decreased. There is q slight i'm
provement in his general condition.
A REAssURING KFFKcT.
BERLIN, April 20 the reassurirg
effect Of to.day's news wss plainly shown
in the comparative cessation Of commo-
ton and excitemen. thst in recent days
have been witnessed in the vicinity OF the
Charlottenburg Palace. Oaly members
of the imperial family and few officials
visited the palace. The gathering of the
public outside the palace did not number
more than 200 at shy one time. The
Crown Prince and Crown Princess re-
turned to Berlin this evening. The En-
peror Frederick was anxious TO rise to-
dsy, but the doctors forbade
his doing so because he
was still feverish. He worked
propped up in bed. Although he contin-
ues to improve his temperature has fallen
only one-tenth of degree in twenty four
hours. The doctors therefore sdvise him
to exercise great caution. There are no
symptoms OF pya nis. Much credit is
accorded DR.. Mackenzie for the care and
skill shown by him. Several papers which
have hitherto attacked him have now
changed their tone.

rha War ON the GuIf Road.

The wsr on the Denver, Texas and Fort
Worth R1ad has been begun. The Mis-
souri, river roads have cut the rate from
New York to Denver cents below the
rate made by the gulf line on first class
freight.
Denver men will now be put upon their
mettle. The question now is whether
like Esau, they will sell their advantage
for mess Of pottage, or whether they
will refuse to be tempted by the bsit the
Missouri river roads hold out to them in
this reduction.
Il is Of the utmost importance 10 Den
yer that the Gulf line be enabled 10 keep
up the compe ition with the old roads.
Unless that competition is maintained
Denver will in the future be in as bad q
state is it was before the new road was
opened. The old roads know this. They
understand very well that the advantage
is with the Gulf line, and that as long as
it is free it will be able to make the rate.
Therefore they are determined to crush
il il 1t be in their power to do so.
It is the duty Of Denver shippers to ig
more the cid roads and their reduction In
rates, l. Is their duty to give as much OF
their business to the new line IS msy be
necessary to maintain il in It's independ-
ent position.
The reason Of his is very plain and sim
pie, and yet we f5Sr there are some men
who are mean enough to sell the city out
for the sake Of making cents per 100
pounds on their shipments OF freight
from the east. Such men hSve minds of
the calibre of the woman who killed the
goose tnat laid the golden egg. They are
enemies to themselves and unfsithful to
Denver's business interests.
We hope that but few, il any such, will
be found amorg our merchants Den
yer r publican.

Men cling to their wives for various

Through love of peace, separation
would cause so much scandal and create

Through fear Of public opinion, what
would the neighbors say, and her friends,
and, above all, her relatives.
Through lmitstion, everybody else
clings to his wife, so one must do like

Through intinctiye attachment to the

Through virile dignity, one must re-

Through habit, as one likes the cosy
