SERMON By REV.. P. HoYT.

HIS cHURcH's 10TH ANNIVERSARY.
In response to the request of his par
ishioners we print the following outline
of the sermon which Rev J. P. Hoyt,
pastor of the Congregational church,
Cheshire, preached Sunday, July %,
the seventh anniversary of his pastorate:
Text, Ezekiel 40 %: "They went up
unto it by seven steps, The seven
steps may represent the seven years of
this pastorate. Mr. Hoyt reviewed the
steps which led to his acceptance of the
unanimous call to Cheshire; also the
first step in Cheshire, first Sabbath, first
series Of calls in the parish, first year,
so up to the seven years. Forty mem
bers of the church have died in the seven
years. Mr. Hoyt has oficiated at 100
funerals. He showed how years were
necessary to become thoroughly &C
quainted with the field and people. lie
alluded to the encouragement of every
pastorate, such as the removal of many
valued members to other places (6O in
seven years., and lack of social Chris
tlanity or a failure to call on one another
so as to become better acquainted. The
financial depression of the hard times.
and lack of spirituality were also re-
ferred to. Then he spoke of the many
rewards and blessed satisfactions and
encouragements of the ministry, and
thanked his people for their kindness
and generosity and Willingness to try
plans proposed. He indicated seven
changes or advance steps in the seven
years noted, certain improvements and
the growth in church membership by
the addition of l3S in the seven wears
an average of 20 each year. In speak
ing of the friendly relations to the other
churches and the gift of the bell to the
Methodist church he said "Reciprocity
in term belonging to politics. The
church has better law, the Golden
Rule" Thanks were given to the choir
and to the various committees and faith
full officials for their cooperation. He
closed by referring TO the changes of
the future, but hoped that each step
and each year would be to each OF the
299 members of the church q "Pngrims

We fully agree with tho wise
man who said that the best place
to have a boil is on another mans
arm. Mr.. Cleveland, as before re-
marked, was for some time a car
buncle on the neck of the Demo
cratic party. We rejoice to see
that he is now one Of those adorn-
ments on the neck Of the Republi-
can party. 1t is matter OF per-
feet indifference to US whether he
remains there and grows, or wheth-
er he draws to himself all the hu-
mors in the Republican system,
and then with them disappears
from that party. We do not think
the Republican organization can
stand the loss Of so much blood as
he Will carry with him. We are
certain that II cannot live with him

Presidents Mail.

The only person In town whose
mail approaches Senator Hanna's
In size Is the Presidents, which
averages 1000 letters a day, and on
some days as many as 1900 have
been received. These letters are on
every possible subject, and come
from every part OF the world. The
writers OF them must imagine the
President to be not only a man Of
elegant leisure, but possessed of an
amiable and obliging character,
for all sorts of demands on his patti
ence, time, purse and patronage are
made.
Net infrequently there will come
letter containing dozen or so
closely written sheets discussing
some moral, ethical, religious,
philosophical or political subject,
and the President is naively asked
to return his opinion on the matter
by the next mail. Then there are
letters announcing the birth OF
son to some patriotic citizen who
has named him for the Chief Ex-
ecutive, and there are, too, the In
evitable begging letters asking for
everything conceivable, from an
Ambassadorship to a dress pattern
for Samantha.
Mrs. McKinley's mail Is also very
large and Of the same character as
the Presidents. She would hardly
have time to attend TO anything
else If she were to personally an-
swer all the letters she receives.
But these letters are all answered;
hose not OF a personal character
Dy the secretaries employed at the
Executive Mansion, who have had
I long and varied experience In
this sort OF mail.

A Curious Institution Opened Up I'm
Paris,

A Curious Institution opened Up IN
Paris.
Novel ideas are being put into prac-
tice every day, and if rumor is to be be-
heved the latest thing in original con-
ceptions has assumed the form Of an
alibi Office. What is an alibi Office? the
bewildered reader may be inclined to
ask, says Paris correspondent of the
London Telegraph. Well, in this par
ticular case it is an establishment
which undertakes to post letters from
any and every corner of the world. 1t
is, in fact, sort of philanthropic insti-
tuition, devised for the benefit of per-
sons who, while remaining quietly at
home in sort of incognito condition,
can make believe that they are on a
long tour. Thus is human vanity salts
fed, and thus are the expenses of
regular journey saved. A man takes
leave of his friends at the close of the
season, with the announcement that his
recreation will assume the form, for in
stance, of a run through Spain and
Portugal; and at regular intervals fol-
low letters from Madrid, Seville, Lis
bon, Oporto, and so on, duly stamped
and postmarked. The alleged promot-
ers of the enterprise are represented as
arguing that after all this plesses some
people who do not care for the trouble
and fatigue of travelling, but are eager
to enjoy the prestige with which a
grand tour will, as they fancy, invest
them in the eyes of their friends. After
all, this may be mere report, for the
Office is described as being very dis
Greet institution, having no outward
and visible sign of existence.
