proportions marks the spot. Panels, with views chosen from suggestions contained ih Pilgrims Progress, appropriately adorn each side of the shaft.
 Isaac Watt, the Christian poet, Daniel De. foe, author of Robinson Orusoe, Susannah Wesley, mother of nineteen children, two of whom, John and Charles Wesley, achieved worldwide distinction, and many other con- spicuous characters rest within the enclosure. It Is probably the oldest graveyard in tre city. Some of the tombstones have strange and weird faces carved upon them, with in- scriptions no less peculiar. Ono stone bears the following announcements: "Here lies the body of Dame Mary Page. From her were taken two hundred and forty gallons of water in sixty seven months, during which she was tapped sixty-six times" The teapot of John Wesley, above alluded to, is a valued relic. It is composed of chinaware, so-called, blue and white, and is of huge proportions. A part of the spout has been knocked off, It bears the following inscriptions, the first be- ing now generally sung at Wesleyan public tea meetings before meals and the second one ct the close:
 "Be present at our table Lord,
 Be here and everywhere adored,
 These creatures bless and grant that we
 May feast in Paradise with thee."
 On the reverse side is the following:
 eve thank thee Lord for this, our food,
 But more because of Jesus blood;
 Let mama to our souls be given,
 The bread of life sent down from heaven"
 Cyrus W. Field has made q standing offer of twenty-five hundred dollars for the tea pot, and MT. Peck, of the firm of Peck & Snyder, New York, has recently offered five thousand dollars for the relic without avail. Evidently some crockery is held at high valuation.
 Mir. Sturgeon did not appear at his best Hid ofp cIn tn ho3r oks1 the victim of rheumatic gout. During both the morning and evening services the devo- tional exercises and scripture reading were conducted by assisting clergymen. The Rev. Joseph Sturgeon, his brother, officiating at night. Like his gifted relative, he possesses voice of marvellous clearness and compass, but beyond this there is no legitimate com parison.
 Owing to the fact that the Lords Supper was to be celebrated at the close, Sturgeon preached but forty minutes. As 8 rule he exceeds one hour, however. While the dis course contained many interesting points, it was as an intellectual effort far below his usual standard. He seemed to be conscious of the fact, for both morning and evening he made apologetic allusions to the fact. His church is fully conscious of the precarious condition of his health, and as much of the routine work of the parish as is practicable is performed by fully qualified assistants. The administration of the Lords Supper was memorable sight. On large oblong table were thirty-eight plates of bread and about sixty cups of wine, the silver service presenting beautiful appearance by gas. light. As far as practicable he follows the Biblical narrative in the exercises and in the distribution of the emblems.
 The ceremony is properly observed in the evening. The bread Is broken, not cut into cubes, as is quite common in America at least. Prayer is offered, thanks are given and hymn sung, az suggested by the New Testament account. He gave the emblems to twelve deacons, representing the twelve apostles, who give to the multitude. The Tabernacle will hold twelve thousand peo- pie, and fully twenty-five hundred, if mol more, remained at the after service to par. ticipate.
 Secret but persevering efforts are still be- ! ing made by the London police to ferret out t"Jack the Ripper" the supposed perpetra l tor of the numerous Whitechapel murders ! The entire detective force, stimulated by the ! various offers of reward and the reproaches ! of the public press and the people generally | is in motion. Private meetings are held by 1 those in authority, at which every hint ol l possible suggestion is duly weighed. Ever 1 dreams are related, and if considered of i'm 1 portance, receive careful investigation. Fiji l nalIy the British lion has been thoroughly l aroused. Justice is on the track of the mos blood-thirsty assassin of modern times 1 Sooner or later his arrest will follow. Un less he proves to be murderous maniac, a
 many believe, he will speedily expiate hi
 crimes on the gallows.
 1 PARIS.
 Our trip to the city of fashion and spec 1 tacular display was unfortunately by night | Though the waters of the English ehanne | for ! steamer was over-crowded. On double rowl of hunks placed around the dining table 1T 1 the cabin passengers lay side by side. Stran gers were the companions of the fortunate ones finding beds. The feet of one TOW nearing the heads of those in the next Hundreds found no resting place at all, lik' 1 Noah's dove in it's preliminary flight. They wistfully for the faintest suggestion of the 1 French coast at Dieppe, or drank and ate al the cabin table, and paid roundly for theil 1 temerity. Obviously those having berthi could find no sleep amid the rattle of dishes 1 murmur of many voices and the lights tha flashed in their faces. There was no moon
 and absolutely no light on the upper deck ! and but one or two dim lamps on the mair l deck At three o'clock in the morning all
 were obliged to grope their way through the l darkness down the narrow gang plank to the | pier, giving up their tickets at the same time. As each one carried either some arti cles of luggage, or possibly an infant, crying ! because aroused at that early hour, 1t was slow and difficult process. Should the own CTS of that particular line of steamers entel l csveat for letters patent on tho art of how
 not to oblige the public, their claim would
 be speedily recognized by their afflicted and
 patient patrons.
 Of course the absorbing theme at Paris 1 was the Exposition. Tickets are hawked around the streets by boys, men and women l like so many matches or peanuts. Twenty times within block they are thrust in youl face. Or crowds of vendors, chattering lik' 90 many Brazilian monkeys, surround you at 1 once.
 Vast and grand as the Exposition undenia l bly, is, it does not impress one as favorabl. as our own at Philadelphia in 1876. Muct
 regret is expressed that the exhibit from th United States is not more extensive. Aside from the credit of the nation, which Is al ! stake, 1t may serve to deter many from at tending our mammoth show now practically booked for New York in 1899. The Edisor electric display was noticeably grand, and the goods of Meriden manufacturers attract ed deserved attention.
 l On Friday last Gladstone and his wifi
 visited the grounds and large crowd sool gathered around them. The Gold man elo Queub lS sIilt FiSotoue, coAsluoIAAS Ihso Y. has entered his eightieth year. Much diff
 culty was experienced by the police in dis
 persing the throng of visitors gathered
 around them. Many purchases were mad by both Mr. and Mrs. Gladstone.
