of the most expert in this profession, as will be
recognized as soon as you approach this depart

would make you think you were in jungle
and saw family of these creatures on their
native heath" There are six of these orangs
represented in all their hideousness, and to
think that we came from this source would
almost compel q man TO become believer IN
the Christian religion. There are bears, lions,
tigers, zebras, elephants, monkeys, balloons,
musk-ox, elk, moose, reindeer, foxes, badgers,
marten, o'possums and all other native animals.

Liver Oil, with Hypophosphites, is a
combination of two of the most valua-
bic remedies in existence for the cure
of Consumption and all Wasting Con-
ditionS; is more generally recommend
ed and used by Physicians than any
known remedy; it gives most satisfac-

and when the Consumptive has wasted
away and loses hope, the Emulsion
will speedily check the ravages of this
terrible disease, and restore the sufferer
to good health and happiness. This
is equally true in regard to ricketts, in

"When, however, it is remembered,

The REV. HUGH MoINTosH, of the

lccturing on the Down Grade-its
Cause and Cure" He said on recent
Sabbath night that if the great COM
motion and controversy caused by Mr..
Surgeons trumpet-blast had done no
other good, it had at least served the
purpose of awakening new interest
in those things which concern our
everlasting peace. There was too
much need for this cry from the great
Waterman on lions towers, and GER
talnly the evils proclaimed were not
confined to the two denominations
only. This again showed the necessi-
ty of precise creed and thorough
Church government, which were to be
found neither in independence nor in
Episcopacy, but in Presbyterianism.

"One of our religious exchanges boasts
of q certain church possessing lady
who saves the congregation where she
worships $4,000 year. A woman Of
wealth and of high social culture and
position, she makes it her rule and the
fashion to dress Tor church in so plain
and inexpensive a manner as to throw
the whole social influence of the con

of dress in our modern churches and
replace it with the worship of God, she
has a mission greater than that Of

MARRIAGE FEES The social season, that is
aim )st at an end, has put good many dollars
IN the capacious pocke1s of the Rev. DR.. John
Hall 1t Is said that DR.. Halls income from
marriage fees since last September, is not less
than $50 0C0 One bridegroom gave him a
check for 50 600 for tying the nuptial knot
DR.. Hall Is worth 81 OOOO His total income
Is at least 800 600. His congregation is the
weslthlest In New York The amount of $500 =
600 600 may be seen in his ch 1rch any Sunday
morning. DR. Hall has a monopoly of all the
swell weddings. Brides who desire to be in the
fashion, insist upon being married by million
aire clergyman.
The ". Y Evangelist clips the above
from the New York correspondent of
the Richmond Dispatch Git did not fall
under our eye). The Evangelist makes
this reply: "a supplemented minister
in Virginia, seeing it, and not believ-
ing it, and yet bewildered by it, writes
to make inquiry, that he may be au-
thorized to deny it )" while others, &C
cepting it as at least half true, rush in
with applications for aid to all sorts of
enterprises from the overlooking wealth
of this city pastor. To such we have
only to say that it is not "half true"
nor quarter true. Those marriage
fees, for example, which are said to
have been since last September not less
than $4,000" were in point Of fact so
far short of that handsome sum, that
they were NJ three thousand, nor even
three hundrt that is to say, the real
amount W sss than one ,hundredth
part Of that stated, which shows the
magnifying YOwer of the modern re-
porter, under whose hand grain of
mustard seed grows in night to be a
great tree"
The Evangelist states that the other
statements are not much nearer the
truth, and that in all cases they are
absurdly exaggerated.
We think Dr. Halls salary is S15,-
600. Whether he is wealthy or not
we have no means of knowing.
