Opera Boz Wornen.

The whole horseshoe Of boxes-two
tiers high-was filed with the flower Of
New York swelldom. The young women
were one and all frail and fine, having
that delicate slenderness 80 far removed
from thinness that is an eastern Ameri-
can woman's greatest beauty. Blends
were in the majority-graceful, fragile,
exquisite creatures, cleaning with dia-
monds and ethereal as spirits Of the
moonlight, in pale tinted, feecy dresses.
They were all decollete-thin or fat
but not one was scraggy. Almost all
wore their hair high and bound around
in the style Of the First Empire with a
band of ribbon or Of gold, while on their
foreheads and sometimes over their ears
lay little, ruffled, careless curls like a
baby's. The men were not 80 good look
ing and were somewhat effaced by the
show of feminine beauty. Almost all
the younger ones were smooth faced and
wore Unfortunately high collars These
young fellows are very prominent in the
gay circles of Gotham.

full Mrs. Bradley Martin was covered
with diamonds. She is not pretty or
young woman, IN fact is ford and COM
mon in her style, and 30 did not set off her
gems to advantage. On her head she wore
diamond crown as big around as tea
cup and made in design of small, fine
points. 1t was set back on the crown of
her head and inclosed her hair. Around
her neck were several chains of the
same stones, long and short. Another
line of enormous diamonds followed the
edge of her corsage from the shoulder
to the front, and from her other shout

REVERE of diamonds traced blaze of
light. Mrs Ogden Mills was also
crowned, her crown being small and
round and high, also inclosing her hair.
Her neck and bodice glittered with other
jewels. She is thin and somewhat pas

lures and a great deal of air and style

Mr. BEECHER's FIRST SERMON.
His widow Describes the Great Preach
er's First Brooklyn Sermon.

Il
His widow Describes the Great Preach
er's First Brooklyn Sermon.
Mrs. Henry Ward Beecher gives an in
teresting account of the first sermon
preached by Mr.. Beecher in Plymouth
church, Brooklyn, in her fifth paper on
ssMr. Beecher as I Knew Him" in The
Ladies Home Journal. A perfect food
OF warnings and criticisms came to him
before his first sermon. Doubtless all
these warnings determined Mr.. Beecher
more than aught else that the people of
his new church should fully understand
before he was installed what course he
was likely to pursue. He told me that
if Plymouth church decided to install
him, it would do so with its eyes wide
open. 1t was upon the evening of Sun
day, Oct. 10, 1847. He sat quietly on
the pulpit while the choir was singing.
His eyes scanned the concourse of peo-
pie before him, but it was the look Of
confidence that saw.
Knowing as 1 did something of what
he intended to say, could not but
think, "Will these people accept the
bold course he has marked out for his
work from one SO young looking? For
his ten years of labor at the west had
not rubbed the youth from his face.
noticed the almost contemptuous looks
of the strangers present as they watched
his face. AS he rose to read the Scrip
lures deathlike silence pervaded the
great church. But not tremor was
visible in the voice that spoke. With
that mellow voice which the Brooklyn
public learned so well to know he read
the lesson of the evening as if he were be-
fore his Lawrenceburg audience. Then
as he uttered the first low sentence Of
his prayer, as his heart rose heavenward,
the effect of the preacher became visible
on his congregation, and he brought his
hearers close to the mercy seat. All was
changed. An almost breathless solemn
ty pervaded the church, and tears were
on many faces.
The youthful look vanished and did
not return, as in his sermon he plainly
and with great solemnity showed his
hearers the course duty called him to
pursue. AS he said. of these remarks
years after: 81 lifted up the banner and
blew the trumpet in the application Of
Christianity to intemperance, to slavery
and all other great national sins. said
to those present, If remain here and
you come to this church it must at the
commencement be distinctly understood
that l wear no letters, that l will be
bound by no precedent, and that | will
preach the Gospel as I apprehend it,
whether men will hear or whether they
will forbear, and l will apply it sharply
and strongly to the overthrow of every
evil and to the upbuilding of all that is
good"
After the close of the sermon many
came to counsel Mr.. Beecher. They
were actuated by kindness to him and
anxiety for the church. Such bold, plain
speaking they did not understand. They
had never been used to it. It would
overthrow this young church.
Don't ally yourself to unpopular men
or unpopular causes" they told him
''There is no call for it. You will only in
5ure yourself and break up this church.
After preaching month in Plymouth
church he was installed as pastor on

HARVESTING

Work has begun in earnest to harvest
the largest crop of small grain ever grown
IN Hand county. Farm help is still
scarce, although nmber of men have

ing for the past IL months, not alone
caused by last years good crop. but by
realization of profits from seock raising
and mixed farming.
In the PRESS opinion too little credit
has been given the stock industry for
our changed conditions, because in no
other way can the fact be accounted for
shat the farmers Of Hand county had
thousands of bushels of grain on hand
this summer TO sell-something hereto
fore unknowR-and certainly direct eyi
dence enough that they had other
sources of revenue besides the crop.
That this stock business has grown with
the Passing years, even without capital,
to considerable proportions must be ad.
m itted by any mau who attempts to keep
posted upon Hand county, and that the
growth and profits of the business will be
more noticeable from now on is self evi-
dence.
Add to this the present large crop of
hay, barley, oats, wheat and potatoes
now assured, the elegant prospect for fax

awakening of the business enterprise,
the phenominal push and cnetgy for
which the people of this country because
famous i'll the early days, that will again
startle the world.
