The Swiftest Ocean Trip.

QUARANTINE, STATEN ISLAND,
August 24.-The American liner New
York arrived this evening after an
extraordinary passage, beating all
previous records, having made the
passage from Southampton to New
York in six days, eight hours and
thirty eight minutes. She sailed from
southampton Saturday, August 18th.
1:49 p. M, and arrived at the Sandy
Hook lightship at 5:36 p. N. to-day.
This beats the record of her sister
ship, the Paris, by fifty-nine minutes.
The best record of the Paris is six
days, nine hours and thirty. seven
minutes. The New York steamed
seventeen miles farther than the Paris
dld when she made her record off .o.87.

Judge H. S. X. Morrison, Of Scott

ago for Congress, but who declined tc

was accomplished by voting the Dick
inson county delegation on a forged
telegram, was again nominated in con.
vention last Wednesday and will &C
cept. He Is regarded as a very able
man and his conduct in the matter
furnishes convincing proof that he
pose esses many other qualifications

probable that they will introduce

The measure known as the "Gor'
man-Brice tariff bill'' became law
ut 70 o'clock Monday night, as pro-
vided by the Constitution OF the
United States, without the approval
of the President. That he would
approve it no one expected, but his
course in permitting it to become a
law, however disappointing to him,
because of the partial relief it afford
ed the suffering masses, will com
mend him to the still greater admit
ration of his countrymen. He could
not permit himself, he says, TO be
separated from his party to such an
extent as might be implied by veto
of tariff legislation, though there are
provisions in the bill which are not
in line with honest tariff reform and
though it contained inconsistencies
and crudities which ought not to ap-
pear in tariff laws or laws OF and
kind-and the reason will be salts
factory to the great body OF people
from whom he derived his power
however much the politicians may
charge him with inconsistency and
condemn him therefor. No higher
evidence could be given of his pa
triotism than his Willingness in thi:
respect to yield his views to the de
mands of the people.
Despite the fact, that the tariff
legislation of the present Congress
does not come up to public expecta
ton, Representative McCreary, ont
of the Democratic leaders of thu
House says, that the House has pass
ed more good bills and enacted more
important legislation than any OF it
predecessors in the last twenty year
and gives the following in support o
his assertion:
The repeal of the purchasin!
clause OF the Sherman silver act.
The repeal Of the odious Fedora
Election law, dispensing with Super
visors and Marshals at the polls, an
wiping from the statute books al
statutes which menaced the freedom
Of the ballot box.
Important legislation reclaimin
abeut 5O,OOO,0o0 acres of peblic land
given by Republican Congress t
railway corporations, and which, un
der the terms Of the various acts
have not been earned.
The Chinese Exclusion bill, whicl
-=Iavnor- tIiaIi' pe~ ueporreu.
The tariff bill, which reduces tn
average rate of duties from 80 to
per cent. This bill, Mr.. McCrear
thinks. will prove more acceptable t
the masses than any tariff law sine
that OF 1857, which fixed the rate O
duties at an average OF about IS pc
cent. The duty on wooden good
and clothing has been reduced iron
an average rate of 9S per cent. to 1
per cent, and this reduction will saw
millions upon millions Of dollars t.
the consuming masses.
The expenses of the Government
have been reduced at the present ses
sion Of Congress in every depart
ment, and the aggregate appropria
tions are $2S,000,000 less than at thu
last session of Congress, and S51, 600,
600 less than in the second session o
the Reed Congress. Pension re
forms also have been inaugurated
whereby fraudulent claims are being
dropped, and pension appropriation.

Old Age and MatrIm0ny.

When he was considered quite an
old man, James Lord Balcarres, went
to stay with old Lady Keith. There
were a number of young ladies in the
house, and before he arrived Lady
Keith said to them, "Now, there is
this old gentleman coming to stay,
and I particularly wish that you should
all endeavor to make yourselves as
pleasant to him as you can" They
all agreed to do so, but Miss Dal-
rymple said, "You may all do what
you like, but I'll bet you anything
that you please that I'll make the old
gentleman like me the best of us all. )"
And so she did; she made him per-
fectly devoted to her all the time he
was there, yet when he asked her to
marry him she laughed in his face.
Lord Balcarres was exceedingly crest
fallen, but, when he went away, he
made a will settling everything he
could upon Miss Dalrymplc. Some
how, she heard of this, and said:
"Then, after all, he must really care
for the, and I will marry him." and
she did. He was SO then, but they
had ten children.-Neao York Home

"Yes; that's MY father. u
"It's all right, then, because he IS
looking for you. Keep right alons
aud if you don't And him he'll find

And the child dried his tears and
sprang into the road again, for if his
father was looking for him Of course
he could not fail to be in his arms
again after a while.
Dear boy, dear girl, if you are try
ing to come to Christ and the way
seems dark and the path steep and
difficult, take courage. He is looking
for you too, and if you only persevere
YOU are sure to meet Him in the way
and to hear His gracious voice saying !:

Robert j. Burdette's Advice About
Wealth.

Il your We're in Honolulu, my boy,
without cent, and had to draw on
the folks at home, here in Boston, for
money enough to pay your hotel bill
and get home, you would think, as
you waited for the slow collection Of
that draft, that you were indeed In a
far country. Well, one Of these days
you are going to make longer jour.
ney, and with less money; you will
gather your feet up into your bed, and
turn your face to the wall; and sail
out across sea 50 wide that no Col
umbus has ever yet returned to tell
us what the land Beyond its dark roll:
ing Billows is like, YOU May sail
away in .go5d style. Possibly FIVE
hundred dollars will pay for the en-
closing casket in which they lay away
what is left of you here; over the last
port at which you touch on this plan
et-Gravesend, is it not 2-ten thous
and dollars may erect memorial
shaft, and yet, somehow, you will
land on the other shore, it may be,
side by side and on equal terms with a
voyagcr who set sail at the same time
you did,
Ae cleared FROM dingy little slip
in the Almshouse hospital, and he
had no nane, sd if they had marked
resting place f5r him in Potter 8
Field, at which most Of his class last
touch, they would have put up board
with "No. 8,549" on it. But he did
not even have that memorial, because
they gave him to the medical students
and he never got grave. And, MY
boy, it would be d humiliating thing
if 1t would be no worse-if, when
you got there, you should find that all
your wealth was so far away that it
would take longer than all eternity to
draw upon it, while Lazarus, having
nothing to leave, had brought all that
he had with him. 1t would set you to
thinking how strange it was that you,
with all your wealth and education
and genius and opportunities, had
failed to discover What lazarus had
learned so easily-this little, secret
hiding place, this pocket inside the
shroud, where many man may hide
away little faith, little love little
trust-oh little package no bigger
than a mustard seed will move NOUN
tains-all the wealth, all the imper-
ishable riches that he needs on the
other side.
It is good thihg to bo richs my
boy; as rich as Abraham, who "was
very rich in cattle, in silver, and in
gold," and his riches did not hurt
him at all but money is not the best
thing in the world ; doubt some
times whether it is even one Of the
best things, I know that men do the
wickedest things in the world for the
sake of it. Get rich if you can, hon
estly and fairly and unsel6shly. But
do not be in hurry about it.
It is curse of the age into which
you have been born-this greedy
haste to be rich this branding Every
thought aud every plan and every hope
and aspiration with the dollar mark,
until the mans soul must look to the
angels who can see it like show-win-
dow at a reduction sale, with every
thing in it tagged with price. And
the price is frequently lie, in the
window and the soul.
