Rev. MT. Goodeneugh,s Sermon o, Newspapers and Books-He Think. the Newspapers will Not be Better Until the People Want Them So-Per.

 mens-GeneraI Notes of Interest.
 The Rev. A. H. Goodenough had large audience last evening when he preached the second sermon in his course to young people. The sermon was upon the subject of q News papers and Books" and 1t was an able and interesting discourse on practical topic. MT. Goodenough has gained quite reputa. tion for preaching practical sermons. Among other things the pastor said were: l make no apology for preaching on this subject, for the subject leads us to the centre of American life. Everybody reads. What we read is of more importance than what we eat. Our plans, our characters, our ways of living, are determined more by our reading than by any thing else. The paper or book ,o yog read re is a ticular sort to the mind. Be bookishl But touch not 8 bad book. In read- ing you are commencing with another mind. Don't be shut up in yourself. Commence with Nature. Commence with other minds. Much might be said of news papers. will say this: Journalism is 8 profession hardly second to any. The man who edits frst-class paper teaches large class, speaks to a great audience, and is silently working to aid the church, help the individual, improve the State. We need more papers of that kind. The average newspaper is picture of the worst side of the world, 6 record of the crime and villiany of society. The demand determines the supply. We get what ws ask for. It be- comes us as good citizens and good Chris- tians to demand newspaper that gives 8 little of the cheer and happiness of life-a little of the more hopeful side of society. Demand this kind of paper and when you get it support it. In this age we shall be know-nothings without the newspaper. Pay a good price for your paper and read only the best. My young friends wish you to read history. Read Greene's history of the English people, Bancroft's history of the United States. Guizot's history of civiliza- tion, Hurat's history of the Christian church. Read the standard works of fiction. Think as you read.'' The new orchestra club assisted in the services.
 Rev. Dr. Burdett Hart delivered his sermon on sThe Life and Times of John Knox" at the First church yesterday morning. A large audience enjoyed the discourse.

SURVIVORS OF THE ALASKAN.

Eleven of the Crew of she FOundered
 Steamer Como Ashore-Four of the
 Survivors HI from Drinking Salt
 Water.
 PORTLAND, Ogn., May 19.-News has been received that eleven of the crew of the foun dered steamer Alaskan have come ashore at Florence, near the mouth of Sinslaw river, in Lane county. After leaving the ship the men were tossed in fearful manner, the sea breaking over the boat at times. They came near the land at Cape Perpetua. about four teen miles north of the Sinslaw harbor, on Thursday noon, but were unable to land their boat on account of the huge breakers, and also on account of the rocky nature of the coast at that point. Finally they con- cluded to try to swim ashore. All were suc- cessful except one, who after enduring the horrible suffering of two nights and three days on the open ocean lost his life. During the time they were out all they had to eat was six cans of peaches. Four of the sur vivors are quite i'll from the effects of drink ing salt water.

THE UNKNewN VESSEL

Believed to be the Nelson Harvey of l New Bedford-None of the Crew | Saved.
 l NEW BEDFORD, Mass, May 19.-From in- | formation received in this city to-day it is { thought that the vessel run over and sunk I by the steamer Nashua, from Providence for New York, between Beaver Tail and Point Judeth is the schooner Nelson Harvey of this port. tug has been sent of to the sunken schooner and made an examination of her topmasts and finds that they correspond with the description given of those belonging to the Harvey. The tug took no diver with her and therefore those on board cannot be positive in their assertion. The agents of the Harvey in this city have sent word for the tug to make another trip to the sunken ves- sel and carry a diver. The Nelson Harvey is owned by Charles W. Parker of this city, who commanded her. Her crew of four per sons included two Portugese of this city and George H. and Frank G. Rocker of Cottage City. She was loaded with brick and was bound from Fishers Island for Providence If she is the ill-fated vessel no person on board of her was saved, as immediately after the collision the lifsboat of the steamer was lowered and cruised over the spot for an hour and half. They found the schoener's masts sticking out of the water, but no trace of any living person.

women? 1t may not be known, but it is a
fact nevertheless.
In volume issued by the Commissioner
of Patents it is shown that since 1870 the
Government has granted $500 patents to
women for inventions exclusively their own.
The most of these patents have been granted
within recent years. Up to 1880 only ten
women had taken out patents, and for some
time afterward the list of female inventors
grew but slowly, but in the last % years
evidences of their ingenuity and skill have
multiplied more and more rapidly.
The inventions of women are by no means
confined to bustles. corsets, tidy-fastenerS,
household furniture and articles intended
for feminine use. The list includes all sorts
of things from dolls and baby jumpers to
sleeping Car berths, car couplers, street rail-
way rails and plows and harrows. Not
every woman who has secured patent has
made fortune out of it; but if statistics on
this point were obtainable we venture the
assertion that it would be found that the
fair and ingenious inventors have Jared
quite as we'll in this respect as the majority
of their male competitors. The Commits
missioner's report certainly shows that our
women are rapidly gaining mechanical
knowledge, displaying ability to grasp its
many subtleties, and to make their living
thereby without the aid of husbands, fathers
or brothers.

A PITFALL DISCLOSED.

The Legislators and high officers of the
State at Harrisburg were given something
like an electric shock by THE DIsPATCH's
staff correspondent in that city yesterday.
All our correspondent did was to ask these
simple questions: If the prohibition amend
ment to the Constitution is passed by the
people in June next, will it not be necessary
to enact special legislation providing for
the enforcement of the amendment? and will
it not be necessary to have a special session
of the Legislature to attend to this business?
Strange to say most of the statesmen at
Harrisburg, including Governor Beaver,
had not realized what the passage of the
prohibition amendment might involve. The
possibility that the amendment, if adopted,
would, as part of the Constitution, over
ride the Brooks law and render it inoper-
ative, thereby freeing the sale of liquor for
a time from all restrictions, had not ap-
parently occurred to the friends, and maybe
not even to the foes of prohibition. Judg-
ing from the answers given to our corre-
spondent it is very fortunate that the at
tention of the public has been called to this
matter. There is time enough now to pre-
vent any misunderstanding or juggling of
the question at issue.

MODERN CHRISTIAN MARTYRS.

The vigorous policy of the German Gov
eminent, in attempting to suppress the
slave trade in Eastern Africa, has had a
result which might have been foreseen. The
natives and traders, angered beyond measure
at the prospect of being robbed of business
which has long yielded handsome returns,
are adopting terrible measures of retalia-
ton. As is frequently the case, both in
savage and civilized warfare, it is the inno-
cent who suffer most. Several of the brave
missionaries, who went to the Zanzibar
wilds to proclaim the gospel of peace TO the
natives, have been massacred: others have
been sold into slavery, while the survivors,
unless assistance comes speedily are likely
to share a similar fate.
The story of the barbarous cruelties in
ficted upon these jealous Christian minis
ters reads like a leaf taken from some
chronicle of the sufferings of martyrs in the
dark ages. Even the most heartless skeptic
could not peruse it without experiencing
feeling of profound admiration for the hero
ism which leads men to incur such dangers
and meet such deaths for the sake of Him
who suffered and died for sinners. The
world is too apt to forget what it owes to its
gospel missionaries, but in the accounts
which come from Africa we are again re-
minded of what the selfsacrifcing Christian
men of this class are continually daring and
suffering for Christ's cause. There is
heroism greater than that of the soldier of
war; it is that of the true soldier of the
cross

CRIMINAL AERONAUTICS.

The problem of aerial navigation has not
been solved yet, and if the opinion of the
distinguished scientist, Mr.. Edison, be re-
spected, it becomes all good citizens to hope
that it never will be- Mr.. Edison, who is a
firm believer in the feasibility OF aerial nav
igation, says that the drawback to the sue
cess of the balloon as common vehicle will
be the ease with which criminals will be
able to escape in aerial cars from the scene
of crime.
The mind of Mr.. Edison is so essentially
practical and so free from the phantoms of
imagination that it is hard to believe that
he has made this objection to balloons In
sober earnest. At the outset the thought
naturally occurs to us that balloons are not
likely to come into such general use that
every criminal will carry one about with
him in his vest pocket, as it were. Nor is a
balloon an ineonspicuous object at any time,
and so presents few attractions to men es-
Gaping from the gives of justice.
Besides when we shall see through
balloon service established, say between
Pittsburg and New York, it is not unrea-
sonable to expect that we shall also behold
many other new things, and possibly among
them will be detective of an improved
pattern who will be competent to catch a
criminal in mid-air more easily than his
predecessors were able to perform the opera
tion on mother earth.

A CENSUS OF SOLDIERS,

AS the time for taking the next census
approaches suggestions looking to the COM
piling of novel statistics are becoming plen-
tiful. Some of these suggestions are ab-
surd, others impracticable, but here and
there is one which promises valuable results.
A correspondent of the New York Tribune
wants to know whether it would be prac-
ticable for the census takers to count all
men between eighteen and forty-fve who
have received military training, as State
militia or otherwise, for one year or longer.
No reason is apparent to show that such
an enumeration would be difficult to make.
The enumerators put every inhabitant
through a very thorough catechism as it is,
but it would not be too much to add three
barreled question such as this, Have you
received a military training, where, and for
how long?
The answers to this question would make
a record of large value to the nation at
large. At glance it would be seen how
we'll or how i'll prepared we are to put an
army of men, sll possessing some knowl-
edge of military matters, into the field.
This is one of the preparations for war that
can be best effected in time of peace,
