to pass q rear in smoky Manchester. In
1900 the river Irwell, flowing through
the town, had been q pure, pleasant
stream where fish abounded, as some old
men could we'll remember; when l was
there. it was a foul ditch of inky hue
and loathsome smell. The legal business
which 1 had, in part, to attend to In
Manchester was the way in which some
Of the mill owners used the water OF the
canal passing through the town, SO that
nv thoughts were specially directed to
river and canal pollutions.
Years have rolled on since then, FAC
tories have largely increased in number.
more and more of England's beautiful
rivers and country scenes have been
fouled and b~lackencd, but the worst
feature Of all has been that the factories
have not only used the rivers for the
legitimate urpose / referred to, but
have made them the outlet of all their
flth-strea1ns of muddy refuse. More
unhappily still, the Thousands OF cot
tages crowded in these large manufac-
turing towns have rceded outlets, SO
sewer drains have been formed. tho Only
outcast for which is the unfortunate
river or stream Of m kind flowing
through or near the town. Year by year
this evil increased, more rivers being
doomed to put on the inky hue. until
whole towns. with their 100, 200 of in
habitants, thus caused the rivers TO be
polluted, ard at length the noblcst,
graEdest river of tho world, because
flowing through the greatest, wcalthiest
city Of the world, yielded its onc pure
waters and tides to the yoke, and, .oh,
tell it not to the shades of departed
artist painters, poets, historians or low
ers of nature, became one vast cesspool
for the 6 1000, 900 inhabitants who dwell
near its course. -Gentleman's Maya

Nsrma.dy Cider "a CAanpsg.e.

Az . fact, the finest cider is not made
BY the British grower, but in Norman
dy. They have in that province brought
cider making to perfection. The total
produce every year there amounts to
hundreds Of millions of gallons, and it
is made with the utmost care. To be-
gin. they choose the site of the orchard
with Judgment and see that the soil is
OF the type which apples love, and they
are equally thoughtful III selecting the
varieties of the apple most TT for cider.
Indeed. for the very finest cider their
sollcitude is SO great that rome but the
second CT third years frui. CT the trees
IS used, and vixen the process Of fer
meHtatlon IS reachcd nothing is lett to
chance. Chemists of great experience
watch the changes ii the liquor, AID
the skill with which the process is recu-
lated is based on the knowledge gait CT
ed from long practice. Tho result is
that some Normandy cider i, equal in
dellcacy and flavor to fine champagne,
and many cheap cha,npagnes are simply
sophisticated cider.
H uSSSptiCu ~ very SCitral. Iue
great bulk Ct the cider made in Nor
mandy goes to the champagne districts
and is used 10 make cheap champagne
and to form the body CT other wines too.
Fort, 1t seems, can be made and often
IS made OF cider, tho color being ilnpa-t-
ed By logwood o. rcd beet Juice and
the favor by the addition, in very nice
proportions, of the root of the rhatany.
This, it is said, issan imitation so excel
lent that the flavor would deceive a good
judge OF port. It is quite certain that
all the cider made in Normandy does
not, by a very large proportion, 60 on
the market as cider, and that it is sold
in the guise of cheap wines, both white
and red. Certainly than the champagne
cider Of Normandy there is nothing
o delicate and effervescent, unless it
be the same product Of California
when at its best. -Chambers' Journal.

SrILLwATER, Mimi, April l6.-When
logging was discontinued two weeks
ago there was little snow left in the
logging regions, and loggers feared
that it would be hard 70 get water
enough for driving purposes, but con-
ditions have changed, and some OF the
streams are raging torrents. Three

dams ON Groundhouse went out. Al
though the damage done is not great,
loggers will be seriously inconven-
fenced, and can do nothing to repair
the damaged works until the water
recedes. Other dams are said to be
in danger and cannot stand much more.

AN INSULT THE MINISTRY.

The New York Journal. the great Mot-
ropolItan organ Of the siverites, INTRO
duced its leading editorial article oil tues
day last with the following;
THE progress OF the pulpit towaru
position OF complete subservience 10 piu-
tocracy has been very materially acceie-
rated by the Rev. Heber Newton OF IL
church mistakably christened by us
founders All Souls
That is going a step too far. The Times
is opposed 10 discussing politics from the
pulpit, but we have such a high regard
for the ministers Of the gospel In TINS
country that we cannot permit a charse
like this to go unrebuked We take IL
upon ourselves to resent with earnest
ness and with Indignation this calumnt
of the free silver organ that the min
listers CT this county, whose lives are
devoted TO the cause Of God and humani-
tv are controlled by the money power
or by any power, save that OF the Al
mighty God. whom they serve. We called
attention the other day 10 the sacrilege'
not TO say the blasphemy, CT free silver
papers in paraphrasing the Holy Scrip
lures for partisan purposes, and now we
are called upon TO resent an insult from
the same source TO every preacher OF
the gospel in this country.
In sermon last Sunday an eminent
divine of this city debated the question
as to whether or not this is a Christian
nation 1t is question TO be considered.
we would not raise against our opponents
the Pharisaical cry of "holier than thou,
but we do say that the teachings of the
Chicago platform and the course of some
Of its advocates are such that it IS not
surprising if they breed irreyerence for
sacred things
