EVENING SESSION.
Rev. r. j. Johnston Ordained and
Installed as Pastor.

The evening session opened with the
Doxology. followed by prayer by Rev.
F. L. Nash the Moderator.
After a hymn Dr. James Mcdonald
of Dixon read the Bible lesson.
Moderator Nash's text was Revela-
tions xxi, 3: He that sat upon the
throne said, Behold, I make all things
new
However long the conflict may be,
he said, the church is sure to be ulti-
mately victorious. All nations shall
acknowledge His authority and bow
to His will. The gospel is to all classes
and conditions of all mankind. God
has never given any man authority
to preach part of the gospel. 1t must
all be preached to all, for every man
has a right to hear it and receive its
benefits. Christ is magnet, and He
has said: IF be lifted ap. will draw
all men unto me-" All the nations OF
the world are being drawn to Mount
Zion.
Great changes are to take place. ao-
cording to the gospel, upon this earth
1t is yet, despite all the sin and mis-
cry upon it, to become the happy home
of the redeemed. 1t was made pure al

ed and desolated il. These changes will
come through the grace Of God. The
desire to reach a higher condition OF
life is taking hold of Gods people al
over the world. They are reaching
after more beautiful and perfect life
one that will draw men to them and
to follw their example. The church
will in time be a Bible-reading church
and men will learn its beauties and at
fractions that make it such a wonder
full and everlasting book.
The church of the future will be a
church that can sing triumphantly and
work triumphantly for the advance
ment of Gods kingdom. The principle
of brotherly love and union is stamped
on everything in the universe. The
spirit of ChTist's church is the spirit
of love: the spirit that takes in al
mankind and tries TO help it. This i:

works There is nothing that gives
JOY like 1t, to the man who practices it

SOCIAL EVENTS.

A very pretty wedding took place at
the Seventh-street NJ. E. Church on
Thursday, the 14th inst. Rev. Mr..
Vaughn officiated. The contracting
parties were James Brown. very pop
ular and prosperous young farmer of
Perkins, and Miss Alice Poole, high
ly respected young lady of Sacramento.
Charles Thomas of Sheldon acted as
groomsman, and Miss Rose PixIey of
Sacramento as bridesmaid. After the
ceremony the happy couple took the
3:15 train for Placerville. They re-
turned home on Monday and on Tues
day evening they were given charivari
by the young people Of Perkins, after
which they were taken by their many
friends to Washington Hall, where
they were given a reception. After
congra tulations F. j. Hinters presented
the groom, on behalf of the Owl Club, of
which he is a member, with a set of
resolutions neatly engrossed and
framed. Dancing was INDUCED in un-

Handwriting of Famous People.

Moliere autographs are extremely
rara and the most valuable of those
of the authors of he grand steele. Ihe
National Library has one only-a re-
CENT written by somebody else ana
signed J. B. P. Moliere. 1t is clear,
strong. well accentuated, full of char
acter and resembles Ferdinand de Les
seps'. Louis XIV.'s autograph is that
of an extremely busy man who had to
write a great deal. But 1t expresses
strong personality. Napoleon's snag-
gled autograph is as we'll known as
Shaxespaare's So is Queen ElizaDeth'S.
She wrote often to Catherine de Medicis
and her sons. EliZabeth'S signature
was always majestic, and, so to speak,
in FULL dress But when she was on
some crooked scheme intent, the BODY
of the letter was the merest shorthand
1t must have been trying to read ner
betters. They had to be read to be
answered But they generally beat
about the bush, and We're involved, un-
less she was in a passion. Then she
went straight and swift to the point,
and the handwriting was as clear as
her words.
Marie Stuart was an ancestress
nette. The handwritings of both Queens
are alike Nine. de Seyigne, I am sure,
feared that if she were not legible, her
daughter would complain, ahd perhaps
throw her letter aside. The daughter
was not an amiable person. and was
prone to find fault. The mother tried
often 10 improve her heart Her moral
reflections are nicely baited with crisp
gossip. If they were not, would they
be read? Nine de Sevigne is not SO
! Iegible or so gossipy when she writes
to her son, or her uncle, the Able, or to
her cousin Busy de Rabutin, but is not
less lovely and rises to higher nights of
thought and feeling Nine. de Grignan
was o prig. How strange that such a
mother could have had priggish
daughter. Perhaps she was changed
at nurse. The son was charming, but
a ne'er-do-well Mime. de Maintenon
was an able woman and good woman
of business. She was dignified in man
ner, prudent and, indeed, cautious. One
sees that she weighed her words well
before she committed them to paper.
There is dash and strength in the CALI
graphy of the Princesse des UTsinS. She
drew her inspiration from her inkpot
and felt quite sure that her pen would
not hurry her into any blunder. Victor
Hugo wrote largely to keep his sight.
He reached the age of eight-two with
out ever wearing spectacles. He also
wrote standing. so as to be able to
walk about when ideas did not run
freely TO the point of the pen.
Louis Philippe also wrote big-very
big-and without glasses. Louis Ma
poleon's signature is remarkable, but
otherwise he wrote like a clerk. The

Rum in Colonial Times.

The power of rum as a commercial
factor in the Colonies was at its hight
about 1850. That year the Royal
Treasury report gave sixty three dis
tilleries to Massachusetts, turning mo-
lasses into rum. This formed the store
for about 500 vessels engaged in vari-
Gus branches of trade-400 in cod fish
ing, 200 in mackerel fishing, 100 whal-
ers, etc. Newport kept pace relatively
with Boston. Refuse Goldfish paid for
much of the molasses.
Connecticut attempted to prohibit
distilling because it made molasses
scarce but the prohibition was very
hastily stopped when the citizens found
that business went where rum could
be obtained. Rum proved the best New
England commodity in all trading op-
erations. Rum was the Indians choice.
in fact, his only acceptance, as pay
ment for his peltries; it was chosen
with equal eagerness by the Virginian
or Carolinan in exchange for his to-
bacco. The Newfoundland fisherman
wished it in return for Goldfish, and,
most important of all, on the. Guinea
Coast New England rum entirely van
quished French brandy as a medium
for acquiring slaves The commerce
in rum and slaves afforded all the
ready money that paid for any mer-
chandise in England. 1t was the driv-
ing power of all commercial machin-
cry The circuit was powerful at ev-
cry step. The Yankee vessel laden with
homemade rum sailed to the African
Coast. The rum was bartered to great
advantage for negroes. The negroes
were carried to the West Indies and
sold at large profit and the distillation
in New England and Boston started
afresh the round of New England mon
ey making Sometimes trade was SO
brisk that the market was stripped of
rum.
In the year 1852 Isaac Freeman
wanted a cargo of rum for the African
trade. He went to Newport, where
there were then thi-i~ great rum dis
tilleries in full blast. His correspond
ent wrote that he could not have it for
three months. There are so many
vessels loading for Guinea we can't get
our hogsheads of rum for cash. We
have been lately to New London and
all along the seaport towns in order tn
purchase molasses, but we can't get
one hogshead."
The shipmasters We're not above
watering the rum to make it go as far
as possible Old Merchant Potter in

possible and sell as much by short
