While attending the dedicatory exercises
of the new ST. Lawrence church, and
while we were rejoicing with them in the
beautiful new edifice which they have
erected at the cost of much self sacrifice,
the thought occurred to us that all events
which we are now looking forward to,
however far distant in the dim future
they may be will surely arrive. Those
whose daily travel leads them in the
vicinity of Con gress square will be glad
with the members and directors of the
7. M. O.. A. when the magnificent build
ing now SO slowly but surely rising from
its foundations, is completed, and when
the young men Of this city are afford ed
another safeguard against vice and an
other aid toward rectitude of life and
character.
At the fair which the Woman's Auxili-
airy are to hold in City Hall October 10,
ID, Is and 16, the evening entertainments
are to be Of the most pleasin character
The dining room which is to be under the
management of Mrs. z. E. Boothby, will
furnish such delicious dishes that even
the most critical appetite will be more
than satisfied, and altogether, aside from
the consideration Of helping a most
worthy cause. no more enjoyable place
could be found to take dinner OF pass
delightful evening than will City Hall
be during Y. M. A. week. Every
thing points towards a grand success.

A Fast-day, If properly observed, would be good for the physical, mem tai and moral health of the people. But Fast-day that is not properly ob- served, and that is largely fast day rather than day of fasting and prayer doesn't do anybody much good Awhile ago the people of Massachu- setts came to the conclusion that their annual Fast-day was not what it ought to be. It had become day principally devoted to turkey-shoots, games of various kinds, and dissipation of various kinds. So they thought they wouldn't be hypocritical and they abol- ished their Fast-day. Since then per- haps there hasn't been quite as much fun" in the State as there was, but the State is apparently no worse for not having a farcical Fast-day The example of Massachusetts in this mat ter has made an impression in New HdlnpSnlfe, WnDSe nSW governor urges the legislature to initiate it. Governor Ramsdell puts the whole argument in single sentence, when he says: The observance of Fast-day in accordance with the design of the worthy men by whose efforts a day was originally set apart for special fasting, humiliation, and prayer by the Governor, with the assent of the Council, having ceased, I recommend that Fast-day be abolished as a legal holiday, and the words "Fast-day" be stricken out of the statutes wherever they occur, and any other amendments made necessary to the practical abolition of Fast-day.
 Connecticut still keeps the letter of Fast-day, but has little use for it's spirit. Perhaps it would be better for this State to do as Massachusetts has done, and stop even the legal pretence of Fast-day.

ONE MORE SILTEE NOTION.

They do much thinking (such as it is) in Kansas. One of the Kansas thinkers, named Griffin, has thought out a plan to end what he calls the money famine" by utilizing silver as a basis of currency. Let, he says, one or more States establish bullion bu- reaus or warehouses in which silver can be deposited and receipted for in quantities of 371A grains, or multiples thereof, with the statement that that amount of pure silver, worth at coin age rate one or more dollars, will be delivered to the holder on presentation. Require the officer in charge to an- nounce at the close of each business day, week or month the average price of the bullion in a silver dollar during that period at some designated mar ket: provide further that these receipts shall be receivable, at the price of sil- yer bullion last announced. for State, county and municipal taxes; and also authorize the sale of so much of the metal as may be necessary to pay cred itors that decline to accept bullion re- ceipts-if there be such. Provide that when silver is remonetized the bullion on deposit shall be turned over to the general government and the paper is- sued thereby be used to redeem the outstanding receipts.
 This is ingenious, but 1t is not as comprehensive as the Windom plan, which the free silverites once rejected. Secretary Windom proposed that the government purchase silver at its mar ket price, issue treasury notes therefor
 and redeem the notes in silver at its
 market price whenever presented for | redemption. In other words, a ten
 dollar silver note would always call for
 ten gold dollars worth of silver.

INJURfES TO FEELINGS.

According to the Appellate Division
 of the Supreme court of New York damages cannot be awarded for iniur- ies to feelings. The suit was one brought by Maggie Curtin against the Western Union Telegraph company to recover for delay in delivery of cer-
 gives the unanimous opinion of the court, reversing the Appellate Term,
 considers but one question, whether the plaintiff could recover damages for mental distress, causing, as she claimed, physical suffering. This ques- ton, the court says, was the crucial one, and it must be disposed of ad- versely to her, both upon principle and authority. The recent case of Mitchell against the Rochester Railway com- pany was cited, where the Court of .Ap- peals held that, although a miscarriage and consequent illness resulted from fright occasioned by the negligent management of defendants car and horses, yet the plaintiff could not re- cover, for the reason that there was no immediate personal injury. "The law looks upon the strict physical injury alone" Justice Barrett says, "and the proximate consequences of the negli- gent act; not upon the secondary ail- ment resulting from the primary men, tai suffering An injury to the feel ings. independently, alone, is some thing too vague to enter into the do- main of pscuniary damages; too iliu- sive to be left, in assessing compensa- ton therefor, to the discretion of a jury.
