ssThe Right Man for Our Church,

From the "Open Letter" by Forrest
F. Emerson under the above title in
the October Century, we quote the fol-
lowing: SIN proof of the singular de-
mands sometimes made upon the min
lister, not only for needful qualifications
not looked for in other professions, but
| also for those which do not really form
part of the clergyman's necessary
outfit for his work, offer for perusal
a letter written less than five years ago
by member of a church in one of the
largest and oldest and-will it be be-
lieved q-mOst cultured of our Ameri-
can cities. 1t was written by one lay
man to another. The writer was a
member of the "supply committee" ap-
pointed to "look for the right man" as
pastor, and the epistle is one of inquiry
into the fitness of a certain minister
who had been recommended to him for
the position. Leaving out dates and
proper names and single sentence,
which might furnish a clue to identi-
fication, give the letter Uerbatim,
without correction of rhetoric, gram
mar, italics or punctuation
My DEAR SIR l have this day read
your letter directed to my friend Mr..
- relative to Rev. Mr.. - of -.
My church relation is with - church,
chairman of the committee &c.-dele-
gated to find just the man for -
church. We have enjoyed the oppor-
tunity in listening to several fine
speakers-but very few of them are
considered what is needed-Or fitted
for this pulpit and people,-a defect in
Uoice-physique or mannerism. 1t re-
quires strong full rounded voice
to be heard in the auditorium of the
sanctuary-we can seat 1900, & every
body must hear in our church. Our
congregation during the time DR.. -
has been with us has averaged 700 or
SO0-We must have a man who has the
make up temporarily & spiritually, who
will bring in 1900 81 fill us to overflow
ing-Our church membership is 400
we want a membership not less than
1200-We think with Gods help & the
right man-whO is good seed sOwer,
can do tive have good operative
force-& there is material in abun-
dance-needing to be square he,Ued &
numbered for the building. The streets
are full of houses OH both sides & there
are to be found rough ashlers to be
hammered We need master work
man in the gospel.
Will you please give me the exact
measurement of Mr.. - confidential
ly if you say SOY that is to say.
Is he a man of deep piety z & yet a
social & ready man-an original man ?
in thought & utterances-a real stu
dent of Goldman s. nature9 Are his
illustrations forcible & impressive ?
&c. sc. Does he use manuscript
What is his salary7 How much fami-
ly9-where did he graduate, in Theol-
ogyq How does he stand on the An
dover question &c, am satisfied that
some are born to be Teachers. If my
request is granted and the reply is sat
isfactory l feel sure that some of our
committee will go and listen to Mr..
-. Fraternally yours

The Republican Tariff Bill.

The absolute reduction of the bill is
$S5, 100000. These reductions are dis
tributed as follows: Sugar, $25, OO0,-
600; in the 40 articles of the free list,
Sc, 40O,000; on alcohol used in arts,
81 100000, on tobacco, S24, OO0, 600.
These are said to be specific reduc-
tiOns. A calculation has been made
as to the effect of the bill, based upon
the customs receipts for the last fiscal
year. According to this calculation
the reductions effected by the bill
would be S73,O00,O00. This result is
reached in this manner: Reductions
on customs articles, S42 ,297 ,533. b !;
to this is to be added the internal rev.
enue reductions, $24 COG, 900, and the
reduction on tobacco and sugar of ST.

The present rates of transportation
form an interesting study, especially
for their effect on agriculture and man
ufacturing in New England. What
hope has the New Englander to raise
cattle at profit when his Western
friend can raise it on government land
and ship the meat from Chicago to
New York for seven cents per 100
pounds. How can we raise grain when
it can be grown on very cheap land
and shipped from Chicago to New
York for 49c q bushel, as at present,
and to Liverpool for 31c per bushel.
Here is another phase of the question {:
From Boston to st. Louis the first class
freight rate is 76c, over 1000 miles,
while from st. Louis to Denver, 1000
miles, the first class rate is $40.

Edmunds on Astronomy.

Senator Edmunds is noted for his
strict adherence to the rules of secrecy
governing caucuses and executive ses-
siOns of the senate-in fact it is one of
the tricks played on a new correspon-
dent by his colleagues to send him to
Mr.. Edmunds to ask about one of these
sessions. Mr.. Edmunds's manner on
these occasions is never harsh, but it is
impressive. The young newspaper
man, as rule, does not ask Mr.. Ed
munds about executive matters again.
There are senators, however, who are
not SO particular as Mr.. Edmunds.
The other night, after the caucus at
Senator Chandler's house had adjourn
ed, a correspondent had accosted GER
tain senator on his way home, and as
they walked down the street together
he was gradually extracting from him
the proceedings of the caucus. They
stopped for a moment on the corner.
The senator, raising his voice little,
was saying, "NOw, cOnfidentially"-
when a tall, gaunt figure broke through
the gloom and a deep but gentle voice
said :
"SenatOr did you ever see anything
more beautiful than the sky tonight
Young man." and the speaker grasped
the correspondent by the arm, "cOme
over here and see the moon as it shines
through the bank of Clouds"
The caucus as a topic of converse
ton was precipitately dropped, while
the senator and the correspondent be-
came entirely absorbed in Senator Ed
munds's description of the beauties of
the heavens. A minute later Senator
Edmunds relieved the embarrassment
of the guilty pair with:
"Well, here's my car; good night"
and in another minute he was gone.
The rest of the conversation about
the caucus was conducted in whispers.

What is this nervous trouble" with
which SO many seem now to be afflicted ?
II you will remember a few years ago
the word Malaria was comparatively un-
known-t0-day it is as common as any
word in the English language, yet this
word covers only the meaning Of another
word used by our forefathers in times
past. Sol is with nervous diseases, MS
they and Malaria are intended to cover
what our grandfathers called Biliousness,
and all are caused by troubles that arise
from diseased condition OF the Liver
which in performing its functions finding
it cannot dispose OF the bile through the
ordinary channel is compelled to pass it
ofrthrough the system, causing nervous
troubles, Malaria, Bilious Fever, etc.
You who are suffering can well appre-
ciate cure. We recommend Green's
